If our Mei Zhou Lang slaps someone's sycophant with his heart, then I'm afraid our Deputy Director Tao will sigh to himself, no, during the ceremony of Xiao Yuan Sangong to commemorate Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Mei Zhou Lang played a very beautiful new trick, and instructed the accomplice to stuff a piece of scarf in a big fish, and wrote six words with cinnabar on it - if Han dies, Emperor Zhong! - This idiot-like country name, as a son-in-law, Mei Zhoulang doesn't know how many times he has heard Xiao Yuan Sangong read it.

Then naturally, this fish of course appeared in the kitchen of Xiao Yuan Sangong, the cook did not dare to hide it after finding out, and immediately sent the Dan book to Xiao Yuan Sangong, who wanted to be the emperor Yanjing and wanted to go crazy, of course he was overjoyed to see it, and insisted that this was an auspicious man from heaven to call himself the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, if it were not for the subordinates and the lack of preparation, Xiao Yuan Sangong almost held the enthronement ceremony in the place where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang organized the masses who did not know the truth to make trouble, and Mei Zhoulang also took the opportunity to suggest that Xiao Yuan Sangong hold another seven-day ceremony to worship the sky, Thank you for the grace of the sky, Xiao Yuan Sangong didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed, just sent 20,000 additional troops to Qiao Rui to confront the Xuzhou army, and then focused all his energy on the so-called sacrifice ceremony of the gods, and the previous finalized rapid battle plan was also completely lost.

Xiao Yuan Sangong was happily sacrificing to the heavens and sacrificing the land in Daze Township, sixty miles away, but Deputy Director Tao, who was not stable enough in the rear, scolded Kainiang on the battlefield of Zhuyi, because after the brainy Yuan Shujun general Qiao Rui led the army to the south bank of Suishui, he did not pay attention to the provocation of the Xuzhou army at all, but immediately started civil engineering, and rushed to work in the area of Gaohuang Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, built three strong camps, dug two ring camp trenches, and set up a large number of horse-rejecting antlers, putting on a posture of long-term and long-term war. Tao Ying sent troops to fight several times, but Qiao Rui also ignored them, just guarded the fence with a strong bow and crossbow, and repelled a test of the Xuzhou army.

Xiao Yuan Sangong, who has always bullied the weak and feared the hard, led the main force to stand still in Daze Township, sixty miles away, and the forward Qiao Rui desperately overhauled the fortifications on the south bank of Suishui, showing signs of a long-term battle. When the detailed report said that Xiao Yuan Sangong pretended to be a god and a ghost in the Daze Township God chattering about the sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, Tao Ying and Lu Su, Chen Qi and others inevitably looked at each other, and they couldn't understand how Xiao Yuan Sangong could think of holding a ceremony to worship the heavens in Daze Township, where birds don't lay eggs? But there was nothing to be done for a while, and there was no way to pull Xiao Yuan Sangong to the battlefield of Zhuyi for a decisive battle.

"Lord, use deception." Chen Qi, an old fox from Xuzhou who accompanied the expedition, suggested: "The old man and Yuan Highway are old friends of young people, and they often exchange letters with him. ”

Tao Ying was a little tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, Tao Ying still shook his head and refused, and said: "Han Yu Gong came forward to deceive and surrender, Yuan Shu will definitely be in a good plan, but now asking Han Yu Gong to come forward to deceive and surrender will only be a big plan and miss a great opportunity to settle the situation in a war." It's better to wait patiently, and wait until Yuan Shu's main team arrives on the battlefield, and then use this strategy when the time is ripe. ”

Chen Qi's plan was not adopted and he was not angry, he just smiled and agreed, but Deputy Director Tao waited for more than ten days this time, until noon on the twelfth day, there was already news of the battle between the divisions in Xiangxian County, Xiao Yuan Sangong led the main force of the headquarters to come late, and set up a large camp in the Gaohuangshan camp protected by temporary fortifications built on the bridge, and the main army and grain and grass were all moved to the Gaohuangshan camp, only about 10,000 partial divisions camped on the south bank of Suishui, and confronted Deputy Director Tao across the river. It also provided buffer and protection for the main force of Yuan Shujun.

In the face of the steady tactics of Yuan Shu's army, Deputy Director Tao of course secretly scolded, but he didn't know that our little Yuan Sangong was also scolding Qiao Rui for his timidity, accusing Qiao Rui of why he did not camp on the south bank of Suishui according to the order, and why he wanted to waste military strength to build such a large strong camp on the mountain - for Xiao Yuan Sangong, who believed that his army would be able to break the Tao in a battle, such a strong camp was indeed a waste. Qiao Rui was very aggrieved and couldn't defend himself, until Zhou Yu told Xiao Yuan Sangong that it was because Qiao Rui was called Gaohuang Mountain that Xiao Yuan Sangong chose to set up camp here.

The camp is just stable, and the little Yuan Sangong, who is anxious for revenge, of course, can't wait to order the army to attack, go to the Suishui River and fight to the death with the Xuzhou army, most of the civil and military generals of the Yuan Shujun are opposed, thinking that the army should first stabilize the camp, find out the enemy's situation, and then the decisive battle is not too late, only the sycophant Yang Hong and Zhou Yu raised their hands in agreement, and felt that the little Yuan Sangong soldiers were sharp, and the morale was extremely high. Xiao Yuan Sangong greatly appreciated the words of Yang Hong and Zhou Yu, so he did not listen to everyone's words, and immediately raised troops out of the camp and went to Suishui to fight a decisive battle with the Xuzhou army.

"Gong Jin, are you crazy?" As soon as he came out of the account, Ji Ling immediately lifted Zhou Yu's collar, lowered his voice and roared: "Our army has come from afar, and its foothold is not stable, Tao Yingxiaoer arrived at the battlefield before our army, and he must have made all the preparations, what are the chances of winning at this time?" ”

"What the general said is extremely true, sending troops at this time is indeed more auspicious." Zhou Yu replied quietly in a low voice: "But a slight defeat at this time is far better than a big defeat in the future, you are not unclear about the surname of the lord, what he decided, who can persuade him to come back now?" Instead of angering the lord, it is better to temporarily obey the lord's wishes, and after a small setback, the lord can calm down, and then it will be much easier to persuade the lord to act prudently. ”

Ji Ling suddenly realized, quickly let go of Zhou Yu, and apologized to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu smiled and said that it didn't matter, and muttered viciously in his heart, "Tao Ying Xiao'er, you are outnumbered, I see if you have the courage to deceive the enemy in the first battle, shake your military heart, and drain your morale!" ”

In a moment, Xiao Yuan Sangong personally led the army to the bank of the Suishui River, and when he took a closer look to the north, as expected by the civil and military generals of Yuan Shujun, the Xuzhou army had indeed built a large number of fortifications on the north bank of Suishui. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yuan Sangong's mind, which had long been carried away by the ambition of the emperor, finally calmed down a little, knowing that this battle was definitely not as easy to fight as he expected, and Huangkou Xiaoer Tao Ying was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

After all, Xiao Yuan Sangong is also a person who has won some battles, although these victories are all achieved in rookies such as Zhou Qiao, Zhou Ang, Lu Kang and Liu Xuan, but they have also accumulated a lot of battlefield experience, and Xiao Yuan Sangong can still see a little bit of the strength of the enemy on the opposite side.

At this time, Tao Ying, who received the news, had also personally led the army to meet the battle, the two armies opened the formation across the water, Xiao Yuan Sangong urged the eight horses made by the arrogance and two rows of dragon and phoenix flags, led the generals to the south of Suishui Bridge, and pointed at Tao Ying on the north bank with a more arrogant golden knife in his hand and scolded, "Huangkou Xiaoer, his heart is like a pit dared to dig the Huai River embankment and drown my soldiers. ”

Tao Ying also led the generals to ride horses to the north of the bridge, pointed at Yuan Shu with a horse whip and scolded, "Shameless old horseman, it doesn't count as invading my land in Xuzhou, and I also ink my jade seal, I ask you, I want you to transfer the jade seal of the country to the saint, why hasn't it been sent to the Son of Heaven so far?" What is the face of thou shalt be born between heaven and earth, thou shalt be born between heaven and earth, thou shalt be unscrupulous, unscrupulous, shameless, and shameless? I'm ashamed of your mother, it's better to give birth to a pig than you to give birth to you! ”

"Pediatric ——!" Xiao Yuan Sangong, who was very proud of his background, was furious, and yelled: "Who can capture Tao Ying'er?" ”

"The last will go!" The general Le slapped his horse out of battle, went to the bridge with a gun, and shouted, "Tao Yingxiao'er, suffer death!" ”

Before Le's words fell, Xu Chu, who had almost no chance to fight under Tao Ying's command, had already rushed out with a knife and met Le on the bridge, and Le Chu came to stab with a gun, but Xu Chu grabbed the gun with his left hand, and cut out with a big knife in his right hand, and cut off the poor General Le on his neck with his head and shoulders, and then Xu Chu roared: "Who else dares to come to death?" Taking advantage of the fact that the gentleman's army is not going into battle today, come over and let me kill a happy one! ”

"!" Tao Ji in the back scolded with the swear words he learned from the second brother, and was very depressed that the battlefield of the Xuzhou army was chosen on the bank of the Suishui River, resulting in the three fierce generals of the Junzi Army, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were unable to play, and the Junzi Army's special skills were useless - this is also a good thing that all the generals under the command of Xiao Yuan Sangong are worthy of celebration.

In the ranks of Yuan Shujun's martial arts, Le was cut down by Xu Chu as soon as he got together, and of course the generals under the command of Xiao Yuan Sangong were all frightened, brave as Ji Ling and Qiao Rui also changed color on their faces, knowing that the big fat man on the bridge was by no means his own enemy, Zhou Yu was even more pale, and secretly scolded the sky for having no eyes, how could Tao Ying Xiaoer have such a fierce general? - What is this not aiding and abetting?

"Yuan Shupifu, suffer death!" Seeing that no one stepped forward to fight, Xu Chu simply raised his knife and slapped the horse, and went straight to the little Yuan Sangong on the big gold car, the little Yuan Sangong was scattered, and quickly urged the generals to come forward to meet the battle, but Xu Chu, who was almost suffocated from internal injuries, stabbed two Yuan generals in a row, and the third Yuan Shujun generals saw Xu Chu's movements, and stabbed Xu Chu in the back with a gun, Xu Chu heard the wind flashing, grabbed the gun with his left hand again, and picked up the unlucky Yuan Shujun generals, screamed and flew into the Suishui River, and the remaining Yuan Shujun generals were even more scattered, Don't dare to step forward to die, Xu Chu grabbed the horse and rushed again, everywhere he went, no one dared to try its edge, watching Xu Chu rush to the front of Xiao Yuan Sangong's bus, Xiao Yuan Sangong screamed miserably, and quickly jumped out of the car and fled on foot.

"Where is Piff going?"

Xu Chu rode fast, caught up with Xiao Yuan Sangong in a blink of an eye, and when he slashed with a knife, Zhou Yu next to him pounced, stabbing Xu Chu with a gun with red eyes - Zhou Yu was also in a hurry, if Xiao Yuan Sangong was killed by Xu Chu, then all the efforts to avenge his friends by the hand of Xiao Yuan Sangong would be in vain, so knowing that the force was not as good as Xu Chu, Zhou Yu still rushed up desperately. And the result was unexpected, Xu Chu only slashed at Zhou Yu's gun with a knife, and just relied on the brute force of holding the ox to go backwards to crack Zhou Yu's tiger mouth, and also shook Zhou Yu's iron gun into the air, but Zhou Yu refused to give up, and pounced on him, hugged Xu Chu's thick waist tightly with both hands, and yelled in his mouth, "Father-in-law, go away!" ”

"Piff!" Seeing that Xu Chu, who had a chance to capture Xiao Yuan Sangong in a battle, was furious, and smashed his elbow directly on Zhou Yu's back before he could close the knife, Zhou Yu's ribs were broken on the spot, and blood spurted out of his mouth, but Zhou Yu still held Xu Chu and didn't let go, just yelling in his mouth, "Father-in-law!" Come on! Walk briskly——! ”

"Good son-in-law." sighed, Xiao Yuan Sangong escaped faster than a rabbit, and Ji Ling and Qiao Rui finally rushed over, one made a three-pointed two-edged knife, and the other made a gun, both came to stab Xu Chu, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai The two generals pounced with blood-red eyes, when Xu Chu was forced to parry Ji Ling and Qiao Rui, the seriously injured Zhou Yu also fell to the ground, as a result, Huang Gai waved the iron whip and came to pinch Xu Chu again, and Cheng Pu walked with his horse and carried Zhou Yu to escape.

At the same time, Deputy Director Tao has two more powerful generals Chen Zhi and Zang Ba have been killed, although if Lu Wenhou's force is one hundred, Chen Zhi and Zang Ba's are only more than eighty, but today happens to be a blue (worse than rotten) world, Xiao Yuan Sangong's generals are three points worse than Deputy Director Tao in terms of quality, except for the four generals of Ji Qiao Cheng Huang who have been entangled by Xu Chu, there is no general's force that can exceed eighty, When the two generals rushed to Xu Chu's side to help, Ji Ling, Qiao Rui and Huang Gai couldn't parry immediately, so they could only turn around and run.

The earth-shattering war drums sounded, the infantry team of the Xuzhou army with the Langya army as the main force shouted up, charged across the river from the stone bridge and the four temporary pontoon bridges, and killed the enemy violently, the team of Xiao Yuan Sangong was completely chaotic, defeated and left, the people and horses trampled on each other between the gallops, the dead were innumerable, the Xuzhou army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the rabble of the little Yuan Sangong was killed by people on their backs, and the blood flowed into a river, and they simply kicked the small Yuan Sangong in the partial division camp on the south bank of Suishui, and the little Yuan Sangong also had no intention of restraining the army, and led the army to flee to the Gaohuang Mountain camp.

It was also at this time that the Gaohuangshan battalion, which had been scolded by Xiao Yuan Sangong before, finally played a key role, relying on temporary fortifications and strong bows and crossbows, the condescending camp defenders blocked the charge of the Xuzhou army and covered the friendly army's escape road back to the camp.

It was a battle, and the second-rate Xuzhou army completely abused the quasi-second-rate Xiao Yuan Sangong team, beheading more than 3,000 corpses, killing more than 20 enemy generals, capturing a camp, capturing more than 4,000 prisoners, seizing countless money, grain, and horses, and also capturing the nondescript luxury Luan Yu of Xiao Yuan Sangong. But when the good news reached Tao Ying, Tao Ying not only didn't look excited, but also said with a wry smile: "It's too heavy, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to fight quickly this time, this Zhongkang will really cause trouble for me." ”

"Second brother, General Xu Chu is so fierce, why do you still say that he caused trouble for you?" Tao Ji, who was not able to participate in the battle next to him, asked curiously.

"You don't understand, our purpose is to fight a quick battle, strive to crush the enemy's main elite as soon as possible, and force Yuan Shulao'er to withdraw his troops." Tao Ying replied with a wry smile: "So although Zhong Kang's performance today is powerful, it is too powerful and insufficient, too much to scare Yuan Shu's old horseman, and not enough to completely defeat the enemy's main force in one go, so that the enemy still has the strength to fight again." The next time we fight, we will have to confront the enemy head-on with weak forces, and it will be difficult to defeat and defeat the enemy quickly. ”

……………… Deputy Director Tao seems to have overestimated the determination of Xiao Yuan Sangong to fight bloodily, at this time in the camp of Gaohuang Mountain, it was difficult to hold on to the Xuzhou army to attack the village and was forced to withdraw the troops, and the frightened little Yuan Sangong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but say to the generals: "I can't imagine that Tao Yingxiaoer's team is so majestic, it is ten times better than our army's old enemy Liu Xuan, and now our army is defeated, morale has been depressed, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, I want to retreat and force its edge, and reorganize the soldiers and horses to take revenge, I don't know what the monarchs want?" ”

When the army was dispatched, it was arrogant, and as soon as he ate a defeat that was not too big, he immediately feared the enemy like a tiger, and most of the civil and military officials of the Yuan Shu army present did not know how to evaluate the little Yuan Sangong, but Yang Hong, the long history, saw the wind and made the rudder, and immediately echoed: "What the lord said is extremely true, General Yuan Yin, General Qiao Rui and General Zhang Xun have also said that our army has been fighting for many years, and the people of Huainan are exhausted, and it is not enough to fight again, it is best to rest and recuperate, and it is not too late to send troops to fight against the rebellion when the Central Plains changes." The lord loves the people, follows the advice, and decides to withdraw from the army, which is really admired by the ministers. ”

Xiao Yuan Sangong was greatly satisfied when he heard this, and was about to speak again, but Zhou Yu's weak and nervous voice came from a distance, "Father-in-law, you must not withdraw from the army, you must not withdraw from the army." ”

Xiao Yuan Sangong turned his head and saw that Zhou Yu was supported by Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, spitting blood foam, while speaking loudly with difficulty, opposing his retreat, Xiao Yuan Sangong was greatly moved, and hurriedly came up to personally support his son-in-law, took Zhou Yu's hand and said: "If it weren't for the love of his son-in-law to save him, the old man's surname would definitely be over." Son-in-law, don't you hurt your injuries, do you? ”

"Father-in-law Xie cares, and the son-in-law is only a small injury, so it doesn't matter." Zhou Yu spat out a mouthful of blood foam again, then pulled Xiao Yuan Sangong's sleeve, and said with difficulty and nervousness: "Father-in-law, you must not withdraw from the army, although our army has suffered a small setback today, but its vitality has not been injured, and the grain and grass are also very sufficient, and there is a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

"Although the virtuous son-in-law is reasonable, but Tao Ying's team is strong, and he is afraid of ...... when he comes to fight again." Xiao Yuan Sangong was a little hesitant.

"Father-in-law, please rest assured, our army has three victories, and Tao Yingxiao'er has three defeats." Zhou Yu coughed up blood and said: "Our army has more food and enough food, Tao Ying's children have enough food but few soldiers, facing consumption, don't say two for one and three for one, that is, five for one, my father-in-law also has the upper hand, this is the first victory of our army, and Tao Ying's children are the first defeat." ”

"The rear of our army is stable, only Liu Ying's scabies disease, there is no need to worry, there are many strong enemies in the rear of Tao Ying'er, and strong soldiers and horses abound, if the time comes, Tao Ying's rear will inevitably change, and our army can take advantage of the false attack, this Tao Ying'er is the second defeat, and our army is the second victory!"

"As for the third ......." Speaking of this, Zhou Yu, who had two broken ribs, was almost a little unable to support it, but he still said with difficulty: "Tao Ying Xiaoer is stationed on the north bank of Suishui, although it has contained the throat of our army going north, so that our army can not divide its troops to attack the hinterland of Xuzhou, but such a battlefield is not conducive to Tao Ying Xiao'er's quick victory, and his father-in-law only needs to rely on the Gaohuang Mountain camp in this dangerous terrain to be invincible, so that Tao Ying Xiao'er can not advance or retreat, Tao Ying Xiao'er comes to attack the camp, our army can occupy a favorable location to meet the attack, if Tao Ying Xiao'er retreats, our army can take the opportunity to chase and kill." , attacking the cities and passes in the hinterland of Xuzhou, making Tao Ying'er difficult to take care of. Therefore, the son-in-law thinks that the father-in-law only needs to hold the camp of Gaohuang Mountain and force Tao Yingxiaoer and our army to confront each other in Zhuyi, then within three months, Tao Ying'er's rear will inevitably be in an emergency, and the father-in-law will be able to win the battle. ”

"Lord, General Gongjin is reasonable." Qiao Rui, Ji Ling, Jin Shang and others also echoed: "Our army has a lot of food, and it is beneficial to hold on to the slow battle, Tao Ying'er's rear is unstable, and there are many hidden dangers, the longer the time is delayed on the Zhuyi battlefield, the more favorable the situation will be for our army." ”

Xiao Yuan Sangong hesitated for a moment, quickly drew his sword in his hand, grabbed a spear and cut off the spearhead, and roared viciously: "The will has been decided, and there are those who say that they will retreat, there is such a spear!" ”

"No!" The generals of Yuan Shujun clasped their fists together and sang a promise, and muttered in their hearts together: "Lord, it seems that you and Yang Hong said that they wanted to withdraw from the army just now, right?" ”

"The Lord judged the situation, made a decision at the right time, strategized in the strategic, and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away, although he was indomitable in the face of setbacks, he was indomitable and tenacious and courageous, which really made Weichen admire and throw himself to the ground! Our army has such a wise and martial leader, why worry that Tao Ying'er is not broken, and the five counties of Xuzhou are not? Lord Shengming! O Lord Shengming! ”

Of course, it was Yang Hong and Lord Yang of the long history who said this, after a bunch of sycophants made Xiao Yuan Sangong smile and smile, Yang Hong couldn't wait to turn around, pulled up the sleeve of Zhou Yu, who sacrificed his life to save Xiao Yuan Sangong today, and said with a flattering face: "General Gongjin is a genius, brave and strategic, clever, unpredictable, and admires him convincingly, he is called the lord ......." ”

Zhou Yu coldly broke free from Yang Hong's pull, twisted his face away, and said in his heart If it weren't for my timely plan to avenge Bo Fu, I would have been disturbed by you, a shameless villain!

"Little white face, you just got a little favor, you dare not take me in your eyes? The villain has a will! Lord Yang Hong is best at observing words and feelings, and when he found Zhou Yu's contempt for him, he suddenly became angry in his heart, and secretly hated: "Boy, wait, sooner or later, one day, I will make you pay the price!" It's better to live than to die! ”
