Chapter 289: A Thousand Miles to Hunt and Kill
"Sir! Someone outside the city is gathering Yuan's army! Someone is going to counterattack! What to do? Xu Chu whispered beside Li Yu, although he did not participate in the battle and protected Li Yu's side, Li Yu did not let him stay either, let him pay attention to Yuan Jun's movements, which was also a way to train him;" It's definitely a coincidence! He is decisive enough, Taiyuan City said let it go! Well, it's kind of stupid, though! Just by virtue of him summoning these frightened birds, they also want to counterattack? Xu Chu! Teach you a task! Take 500 people! Scatter these Yuan troops for me! Teach them a hard lesson! Hearing this, Li Yu smiled after thinking about it; Promise! Xu Chu nodded and promised, and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu wants five hundred people now!" Who wants to come! Hurry up! The first to go has meat to eat! There was not even soup in the later ones! ”
"Count me in!" "I'll do it too!" After a while, five hundred people were gathered, Xu Chu rushed out of the city with a horse's belly, and the five hundred cavalry behind him disappeared into the long night in an instant; Tell Cao Chun and Ma Chao that things are done and come over immediately! Li Yu's eyes rolled and he thought of something; Outside the city, Feng Ji, who was trying to gather soldiers, was just a little happy, and in a blink of an eye, he became crying without tears! Where did these Xibei goods come from, why are they so violent! It's too daring! A small group of cavalry dares to attack a large army of 10,000 people, but you have to admire the courage and courage of others, as well as their strategy; Yuan Jun has long been frightened, how can he have any combat power to speak of? In addition, in the middle of the night, the other party came wearing the same clothes as them, and beckoned them to come and gather, yes! These people are coming, and when they come, they are slashed with machetes!
The Yuan army, who was caught off guard, softened at that time, and these Xibei goods took the opportunity to shout, saying that there are spies in the army, be careful! It doesn't matter if these Yuan soldiers began to be wary of each other, for fear that the people around them would take their heads!
The scattered army became more loose, fighting on its own, and the people were panicked, and some of the soldiers who were tortured and collapsed were cut regardless of whether they drew their own knives or not, although they ended up being killed together, but the consequences were not only these; "Don't panic! Don't panic! It's the enemy who doesn't have a helmet! Kill those who don't wear helmets! Frankly speaking, this order was issued decisively enough, but it was not considered, do you think that many of these Yuan army routs have lost their armor, let alone helmets, okay! The bloody infighting is even more intense!
Some want to kill the harm directly, and some want to save their lives, and many Yuan Jun directly became the "Cao traitor" battlefield uprising! He also shouted: "My own people! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Feng Ji jumped to his feet angrily, but at the moment he really had no better way to organize his troops to counterattack;" I'm Fengji! Follow me who are loyal to the general! I'm Fengji! Come with me! Feng Ji roared loudly, as dazzling as a firefly in the night, "This is a big fish!" "Many Cao soldiers flashed such a sentence in their minds, and they desperately killed him;" My lord! Let's go! Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! The guards pulled Feng Ji's mount and began to run in embarrassment, Feng Ji knew that the general trend was gone, and he cried while escaping, and even pulled out his sword to kill himself!
"I'm ashamed of the general!" , Feng Ji's behavior was stopped by the soldiers around him, "Sir! Let's think about how to turn the tide now! Personal life and death are small, but the state can't be lost! General Gao Gan and General Guo Yuan have all been killed by the enemy! You're in charge of the big picture! ”
Feng Ji was stunned in place, and cut off one of his fingers fiercely: "Broken finger is an oath!" I'm going to kill these people! Walk! The morale of Yuan Jun instantly rose a lot, and it was obvious that Feng Ji's self-harming behavior made them see the determination of the leader!
"Sir! There are so many grains and grasses in Taiyuan City! We've burned hundreds of thousands of stones, and there's still one! It seems that it can't be burned! Otherwise? Cao Chun ran back to Li Yu like a treasure to ask, Cao Jun's thin foundation has always been cheap, and after burning so much grain and grass, Cao Chun felt like burning his internal organs again, and this was called a reluctance in his heart, so he had this question;" If you don't want to be wiped out because of too much baggage slowing down the march, dismiss this idea, but it's a pity that there is less food! Tell the brothers to keep enough meat to give to the local people! I'll give you an hour of time! Gather the horses and chase after me! ", Li Yu reprimanded; Cao Chun's eyes widened: "Hunt and kill? Who are you chasing? ”
"Of course it's Fengji! Do you think he'll give up? Definitely! I expect that he will muster his horses in other parts of the state to seek battle with us, so why don't I follow him and not give him a respite? Li Yu waved his hand impatiently: "Be fast!" We're going to learn the habits of the rogues now! ”
"No!" , Cao Chun arched his hand and said yes, Li Yu: "Inform Meng Qi as soon as possible!" Let him arrange for the soldiers to change their weapons and armor as well! ”
At the beginning of the morning, the chaos of the night in Taiyuan City seemed to be non-existent, and the common people gratefully watched the whereabouts of the troops who had given them food and grass, and silently prayed for them in their hearts, wishing them good people good rewards!
"Brethren! Brothers! I know you're having a hard time right now! Quite complaining! But here's what I'm telling you - we're creating an unprecedented victory! We went hundreds of miles behind enemy lines alone, driving straight into the invincible direction! This has never been done before! Be a soldier! Be ye proud! I'm so proud of you too!
Our Cao army has always been a battle-hardened warrior! Warrior! Whatever the soldiers point to, they are invincible! You will go down in history as part of the victors! Again! I would like to congratulate you all! Compared to these ethereal things! I want to tell you more! You're going to get what you want! ”
On the speeding carriage, Li Yu stood on the wheel and shouted, and the soldiers around him were listening: "I said it! It is not a dream to kill the enemy and reward the generals and seal the officials! I'm going to tell you even more now! We are now in the enemy's land! Wealth is at your fingertips! Tell me! Do you want it? ”
Li Yu: This is undoubtedly to indulge these people and plunder! The close proximity of the benefits made Cao Jun suddenly go crazy, and all the fatigue was swept away: "Think! Think! Think! "These people are what you left a name to tell them, they don't know, it's too far away for them!
When he first said it, Li Yu knew that his starting point was in the wrong place, so he quickly changed it, and his morale was available! Li Yu yelled: "Since that's the case! Then follow orders! Guarantee that each and every one of you will live! Take home with a full load! Forward! ”
About 100 miles north of Taiyuan is Yangqu, a small city has about more than 1,000 military horses garrisoned, Feng Ji expected that the military horses that made a rebellion were Cao Jun, and it was also expected that the number of these people was not much, he went all the way north to first mobilize some military horses to trap these chaotic Cao troops in one place, even if it didn't work, he had to drag him down, and then mobilize heavy troops from the four places of Bingzhou to encircle and suppress them!
As soon as I arrived in Yangqu City, before I sat down, some soldiers were in a hurry, and some military horses came into the city, and the brothers couldn't resist it. He was not in a hurry to leave, and wanted to organize soldiers and horses to resist; Yangqu is in the hinterland of Bingzhou, even when Lu Bu made a rebellion and merged the state, it was not affected here, the soldiers here are some local civilians, usually pretending to patrol the city, at this moment, there are not a few people who go home to plant crops, and it is estimated that even the people and horses can't get together!
Can such an army stop the wolf-like Cao army? Say that the time they block a pillar of incense is to lift them up! It's just a cup of tea and the time to escape! Feng Ji reluctantly began to flee north again; After Yangqu is the wolf Meng, after the wolf Meng, it is Mengxian and Yangqu are the same small county seats, the situation is similar to Yangqu, Fengji is completely untenable, and was chased and killed by Cao Jun fled all the way to Jiuyuan City, which is the place of border fortresses, and the soldiers of foreign races such as the Xiongnu were often used here a long time ago; Cao Jun hung all the way behind Feng Ji, not in a hurry, in Li Yu's words, the three small counties in front of him had no oil and water at all, what are you doing here! We're here to eat meat, not to pick up the rags!
From Taiyuan to Yangqu, and then to Wolf Meng, Meng County until the rescue is more than 800 miles away, after passing Meng County, Feng Ji and the fleeing Yuan army began to collapse, and even some Yuan troops were stagnant and no longer advanced, that is, they fought to the death with Cao Jun, and they didn't want to be chased like rabbits; Feng Ji followed behind the Yuan army scattered under the collection of 2,000 men and horses, the anger of the people is difficult to offend, Feng Ji also held a fire in his heart, and set up an ambush in a low valley not far from Jiuyuan City, the so-called "mourning soldiers will win", he originally wanted to use these "mourning soldiers" to fight a turnaround
Can Li Yu give him this chance? Of course not! Cao Jun's scouts were hanging less than five miles behind Yuan Jun, where would these panicked and panicked Yuan Jun find out? This situation was directly transmitted to Li Yu's ears; "Stupid!" , Li Yu spit out two words! Then order the army to bypass the valley and go straight to Jiuyuan City! The soldiers are fast, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating, this is the behavior and code of the rogue, Li Yu is expected to ask for help from the defenders of Jiuyuan City and ask the other party to bring troops to rescue, Li Yu will fight this time difference, and intercept the Yuan army of Jiuyuan halfway!
Jiuyuan Shou is the Yue cavalry Sima Zhao Rui, his own courage is average, but quite strategic, he was a cadre under Ding Yuan, and later Yuan Shaojun surrendered when he came to merge the state, he is one of the representatives of the Zhou Shi clan in the Yuan Shao group; Who is Feng Ji? That's one of Yuan Shao's most trusted people! Jiuyuan County on Zhao Rui's side because the Huns are now friendly with Yuan Shao, there has been no war for many years, and if there is no war, you can't get credit, and if you don't have merit, you can only stay in Jiuyuan, a place where birds want to and think about it; If you save Feng Ji, not only will you be able to make friends with the scholars represented by Feng Ji, but you may also be able to get Yuan Shao's appreciation! This general, who is more like a politician, immediately decided to send 10,000 troops to save Fengji!
There is no discipline in the army's travel, blindly pursuing speed, and the beginning and the end cannot be taken into account, can there be no accidents? Zhao Rui's impatience caused his army to suffer a catastrophe! Feng Ji wanted to ambush Cao Jun in the valley, and Li Yu now wanted to ambush Yuan Jun in the valley in turn!
