In the eighteen years since I came to Jian'an, there has been heavy snowfall, and today is the first sunny day after the beginning of spring. The sun is shining, the spring is melting, the river breeze is blowing, and there are only a few wisps of floating clouds fluttering in the clear blue sky, which is a good weather.

In the camp in the west of Shouchun City, Xiahou was dressed in black fine armor, wearing a golden helmet, and a long sword hanging from his waist, full of energy and heroic, just like the Xiahou general ten years ago.

Xiahou Dun's back was straight, and the whole person was like a sword in the sheath, which seemed to be murderous but hidden a chill. "Jiangdong Sun Ceyong was secretly incompetent and appointed cool officials, causing the people of Jiangdong to live in fire and water. Lujiang Qiao Ren helped the emperor to act recklessly, disrespected the king's order, and did whatever he wanted in Huainan, and now he was ashamed to lead the post of general of Zhengdong, and in order to report the country's favor to save the people, he was ordered by Prime Minister Cao Cheng to raise 40,000 troops to the south. ”

The soldiers in the audience are not ordinary Cao soldiers, but the Qingzhou soldiers refined by Cao Cao's collection of 300,000 Qingzhou yellow turbans in the past. But obviously Xiahoudun is not in the ordinary, ten years ago, it was Xiahoudun who led the troops to receive them, and it was Xiahoudun who led them in Yanzhou Tuntian, and had the foundation for the survival of himself and his family.

For the sake of your loved ones, what if you work hard, even if you are injured? If one day, you die on the battlefield, you will also die a well-deserved death. A soldier should have the blood and courage of a soldier!

The flag fluttered on the platform, and a big black flag hunted in the river breeze, embroidered with a blood-red word "Xiahou".

Xiahoudun couldn't remember the last time he led his troops out on an expedition, and even now he was still in a trance, but fortunately, he was still the Xiahoudun who could fight with Lu Bu and retreat with his whole body, only to see him holding an arrow and shouting loudly: "Xiahouru listens to the order!" ”

Xiahou Ru rushed forward, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "The last general!" ”

"Let you lead 1,500 Qingzhou soldiers as the left wing and go out of Liyangbei."

"The last will be ordered!"

Qingzhou soldiers are different from other troops, most of the main generals of other troops have a subordinate relationship with the soldiers, and the Qingzhou soldiers only obey Cao Cao's orders and the command of Xiahoudun, and Cao Cao or Xiahoudun temporarily appoint generals in wartime, but even so Qingzhou soldiers are Cao Cao's most trusted infantry, and the number is as many as 30,000.

Xiahoudun then shouted: "Yu Ban Listen to the Order!" ”

Yu Ban saluted, and said in a loud voice: "The end will be!" ”

"Let you lead 5,000 Qingzhou soldiers as the right flank and attack Chengde."

"Whoa!"

Xiahoudun shouted again: "Zhu Ling, Li Dian, and Le Jin listen to the order!" ”

The tall Zhu Ling quickly came out of the ranks and knelt down, hugged his fists and said, "Zhu Ling is here!" ”

At the same time, Le Jin, who was relatively short, and Li Dian, who had regained his elegant temperament, came out at the same time: "In! ”

Xiahoudun ordered: "Ling Er and the other three people each bring their headquarters, and they are the same vanguard as the commander, and the soldiers are sent to Liyang!" ”

"Oh~~~" Zhu Ling was the first to reply loudly.

Xiahoudun threw down the arrows in his hand one by one, and pulled out the long sword at his waist with a "cangchang" sound, and Aomori's sword light was reflected on his hideous face. Xiahoudun raised his long sword, slashed at the shore in the direction of Hefei, and shouted loudly: "Our army is mighty~~~ Our army is mighty~~~"

Le Jin, Li Dian, Yu Ban, Zhu Ling and other generals also turned to face the soldiers, and also pulled out the long sword at their waists and shouted: "Our army is mighty~~~ Our army is mighty~~~"

Xiahoudun's voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier, and the soldiers were infected by Xiahoudun's indomitable momentum, and they raised their weapons one after another, and shouted in unison: "Our army is mighty~~~Our army is mighty~~~Our army is mighty~~~"

The shouting wave is getting higher and higher, and the mood of everyone in the field is becoming more and more excited, Xiahou Dan saw that the fire had arrived, and he gently pulled out the black flag behind him with one hand and danced in front of him, the river wind hunted, the black flag crackled in the air, Xiahou Dan shouted: "Qingzhou soldiers attack!" ”

A long-hidden sword is finally about to be unsheathed.

"A certain family wants you to see what is called the world's elite soldiers!" Xiahoudun, who was riding on a tall horse, muttered to himself, a black torrent behind him, and he was driving dullly.

Liyang when the Yangtze River and land rush, the left Yangtze River, the right control of Zhaoguan, Liangshan Zhi its east, Haochu ring its north, for the "Huainan Domain", "Jiangbiao" of the guarantee, since ancient times, for the soldiers must fight for the place. Since ancient times, there have been two ferries in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The first is Guazhoudu: the passage between Jingkou (now Zhenjiang) and Guangling (now Yangzhou) on the opposite river. The second is the ancient crossing of the Hengjiang River: the quarrying channel between Liyang and the river. The flow direction of the Yangtze River is changed from west to east to north-south, "Tianmen interrupts the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flows east to this time", so it is called Hengjiang. Whoever comes from Huaixi will cross the river and enter the Jingling. The south is slightly northern, and the river is also crossed by quarrying to the west. The north and south are in trouble, and Liyang is the key to it.

And just more than ten years ago, the seventeen-year-old Jiangdong Xiaobawang crossed Wu County from Liyang Hengjiang East to start his glorious hegemony. Ten years ago, Qiao Ren also crossed the river with his family from here and arrived in Wu County.

Liyang once belonged to Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, but now he belongs to Eastern Wu and Qiao Ren, the governor of Huainan. Since the surrender of Zhang Xi in the Battle of Hefei, Qiao Ren considered that Liyang had to be heavily defended as a key point in the north and south, so he sent the general Sun Shao to lead an army of 4,000 to garrison here.

Sun Shao is calm, although his beard makes people feel that he is a rough person, in fact, he is thoughtful, and he is a wise and brave general. This can be seen from the fact that he dared to attack his uncle Sun He's troops at the age of sixteen, and after he arrived in Liyang, he also continued his style and built the city defense very well.

Sun Shao's 4,000 men and horses were all infantry, and a large part of the raids from Sun He were the elite of the Lujiang River that followed Sun Ce across the east of the river in the past, and in the Hengjiang River not far from Liyang, the naval army with Huang Gai as the governor and Gan Ning as the general was stationed here. Moreover, there are 1,000 soldiers and horses of the Jiangxi battalion established by Sun Ce to the west of Liyang, which is supervised by Gongsun Yang. On the opposite side of Chaohu Lake, there is also Zhou Taiwei's water army belonging to Huang Gai.

Although Sun Shao is the son of Wuhou Yizi and half of the little master of Jiangdong, he knows that his identity as a righteous son is embarrassing, and he offended the Sun clan because of his attack on Sun He's tribe when he was young, otherwise why has he always been a partial general with his identity and ability. Because of this, Sun Shao was meticulous in everything he went, and was sent by Qiao Ren to defend Liyang, and he would patrol the city two or three times a day.

At sunset, Sun Shao was still looking at the north in a daze. Since Cao Cao led the army to move to Shouchun last year, Sun Shao has been able to rest well every day, and Shouchun's Cao army is like a sharp sword, hanging over Liyang's head.

At this time, a personal soldier walked over quickly, attached to Sun Shao's ear and said a few words, Sun Shao's face changed greatly, the generals were busy asking what was the matter, Sun Shao's face was solemn, and said: "Cao Cao finally sent troops, he sent the general Xiahou Tang to lead an army of 40,000 in the east, and he has already left Shouchun, and the target is directly aimed at Liyang...... It seems that he wants to attack. ”

"Ahh Sun Shao's lieutenant Li Jun said: "General, I heard that Xiahoudun's subordinates are all Qingzhou soldiers!" This infantry army composed of yellow turban thieves is known as the elite of the world and has extremely strong combat effectiveness, so I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with! ”

"Yes! Xiahoudun can fight well, in the past, he had the title of the first general of the Cao army, if it wasn't for his blindness, I'm afraid that his reputation is even greater now, but even so, Xiahoudun is also a rare handsome talent! Although the soldiers of Hengjiang Water Village are more numerous than him, the water army cannot leave the village. In fact, it's still my 4,000 foot soldiers who deal with his 40,000 army! ”

After Sun Shao finished speaking, he instructed the guard: "Send someone to inform the Huang Dudu and the two generals Gan Ning and Zhou Tai of Hengjiang of this news, and in addition, send out all our scouts to expand the search area." ”
