Chapter 663: Opportunity
After a brief silence, the war resumed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info◎ Smart children remember to be super fast and play updates.◎ Cao Cāo's army has been raising Jing for a long time, coupled with Cao Cāo's encouragement, the morale is strong, but Yuan Shao's army has just escaped for the night, and neither morale nor physical strength is far from recovering. After Cao Cāo was replaced with a new force, Wen Chou, who had fought hard for many years, was also a little unable to resist, and his position was loosened many times. However, Yuan Jun also knew that whether they could break through Cao Cāo's position was related to whether they could return to Jizhou safely, and with Jishui behind him, Yuan Shao was sitting on the other side of the river to supervise the formation, and his side was the one who was so sick that he didn't have any strength, but he was still ruthless, and no one dared to hope that he could retreat to the south bank to take a breath, either die in battle, or retreat to Jishui and be drowned.
The Yuan army, which fought against the water, had no way to retreat, they could only fight desperately and fight to the death.
Casualties on both sides climbed rapidly, blood was everywhere and corpses were strewn everywhere.
Cao Cāo was most afraid of encountering this situation, he accepted it when he saw it, and after seizing the first line of Wenchou and gaining the upper hand, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and stabilize the front. He set up a large camp, blocked Yuan's army on the bank of the river, and prepared for positional warfare.
Yuan Shao also didn't dare to slack off, he knew that his soldiers' physical strength was too poor, now was not the time to fight hard with Cao Cāo, and it was the most rational choice to rest for half a day. The two sides tacitly stopped the attack and camped two hundred paces apart. Because the position on the north bank was attacked by Cao Cāo and could not be further expanded, Yuan Shaokong had a pontoon bridge in hand, but he could not continue to send his soldiers to the north bank, so he could only hold the water and line up.
In view of the fact that Wen Chou had been fighting hard for three years, Yuan Shao sent Zhang Nan and others to replace Wen Chou back. Wen Chou dragged his heavy steps back to the south bank and came to Yuan Shao. As soon as he opened his mouth, he pleaded guilty to Yuan Shao: "My lord, I forced Mr. Trial to attack in advance. ”
The corners of Yuan Shao's eyes twitched, and he forced a smile: "Zijun, are you here to compete for merit?" ”
Wen Chou grinned, his bloodshot eyes glanced at the expressionless judge, and shook his head: "Lord, merit is meritorious." Sin is sin and is not to be conflated. Although the last general had a little merit, he did not receive a military order. Acting without permission is an unforgivable sin. Please punish the Lord. With that, he took off his helmet. He bent down with great effort and knelt down.
"Alright, Zijun." Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, stood up, walked in front of Wen Chou, bent down, pulled Wen Chou up hard, and said, "Zijun, I understand your intentions, I failed you." Repeatedly delayed the warplane. If I had listened to you at the beginning, I would have met Tian Feng first, and I would not have come to this point. You're right to fight a decisive battle, or else. We can't even get through the water now. On the contrary, you did it very correctly, which is the responsibility that a real famous general should have. Get up. You've worked hard, go and rest, we still have a long way to go. ”
"Thank you, Lord." Wen Chou was relieved. This matter has always been in his heart, and he has no taste for food. He thought about it and decided to take this responsibility down by himself, as long as he was the leader of the Hebei people, as long as he was kept, the interests of the Hebei people would not be damaged, and he would suffer some grievances temporarily, and he would be compensated in the future. Now Yuan Shao said in front of everyone that they were not wrong, but that they had merit, which meant that they had already made up their minds about this matter, and it would not be good to mention it again in the future.
Wen Chou withdrew, and the judge did not speak. Yuan Shao turned around, gently patted the judge's shoulder, and said, "Zhengnan, you are the same, don't have any psychological burden." You have no merit in this matter, and if I don't even have this kind of bearing, it will be too disappointing to you. Zhengnan, you're tired too, let's go rest first, I have military affairs here. ”
The judge slowly bowed to the end, turned around, and walked out slowly. Yuan Shao diligently helped him to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain with one hand, and watched him leave. It wasn't until his figure disappeared into the distance that Yuan Shao put down his hand, turned around, and looked at the battle between the two armies that Guo Tu had just hung up, speechless for a long time.
Guo Tu arched his hands and stood aside respectfully.
On both sides of the Jishui, the torches in the camp reflected the endless river, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cāo, two friends of the past, were not sleeping tonight, and they were all mobilizing troops and sending generals, racking their brains to kill each other. The strong smell of blood attracted countless flies, who sang happily within a radius of miles, enjoying a sumptuous feast of flesh and blood.
In Bo County, on Yuan Shao's original camp, Liu Xiu's battle flag fluttered in the wind. Yuan Shao left in a hurry, in order to hide his whereabouts, he didn't even take the tent away, Liu Xiu picked up a bargain, his strength was not much different from Yuan Shao, but there was no need to make any major changes, just sent someone to simply clean up and move in. He even found the location of Yuan Shaozhong's military tent, and also found a jade spoon on the ground that had been broken in two.
Liu Xiu played with the warm and white jade handle, burst out laughing, and said to Chen Deng, who arrived in a hurry: "Do you know what kind of jade this is?" ”
Chen Deng's family background is very good, and he is no stranger to jade, he recognized it just by a glance, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Khotanese mutton fat jade?" ”
"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu laughed: "Knowing the goods, he is really a child of a family, and his knowledge is wide." Then guess again, how much is such a jade spoon worth? ”
Chen Deng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Khotanese mutton fat jade is originally a jade product, such a large jade material is even rarer, this jade spoon, without ten gold, probably can't be bought." ”
"Ten gold?" Liu Xiu shook his head: "You said it too easily. Let me tell you, such a large jade material is not only rare, but also hard to find. I've seen countless Khotanese jades, but this is the only one so big. He stretched out a hand and shook it in front of Chen Deng: "Fifty gold, give a luminous cup and an urn of high-quality wine from the Western Regions." ”
Chen Deng looked at Liu Xiu in surprise and felt a little incredible: "General, why are you so familiar with Yuan Shao, no wonder he is not your opponent." ”
"It's simple, because that's what I sold him." Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and laughed heartily: "I originally wanted to make Yuan Shao a sum of money first, and after defeating him, I would take it back as a trophy." Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao, who has always been cautious, was careless when he broke such a precious jade spoon. It's a pity. ”
Chen Deng was stunned, and then suddenly realized. He looked at Liu Xiu, who was three points proud and seven points contemptuous, and sighed secretly. In terms of being rich, although Yuan Shao is said to be the third prince of the fourth world, his family background is very thick, but he is still a little short of the palace of the king of Chu. Liu Yuanqi, the king of Chu, now controls nearly half of the share on the Silk Road. Coupled with other businesses, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bargain, Liu Xiu encountered such a rare jade material. But he refused to keep it for his own use, but sold it to Yuan Shao to make a profit, which was really surprising. However a comparison. I can see the superiority of Yuan Shao and Liu Xiu, how can a son of a family who eats with a jade spoon worth fifty gold on the way to the march be the opponent of such a person who has calculated to the point of being stingy.
"Don't look at me now that I'm rich, if I used to be a poor man, I'm used to it." Liu Xiu calmly put the handle of the jade spoon into his sleeve, and greeted Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, it's stuffy in the tent, what's the matter, let's just stand here and say, it's cool here." ”
Chen Deng didn't mind. I said the meaning of Cao Cāo to let him come. Of course, he didn't say it as directly as Cao Cāo, he told Liu Xiu about the general layout and psychology of the two sides, pointing out that Yuan Shao was going to fight hard now, although Cao Cāo had certain advantages in other aspects. However, the troops are insufficient, and they are attacked from both sides, so it is very difficult to completely annihilate Yuan Shao, and I hope that Liu Xiu can give Guan Hai an order to let the Yellow Turban Army rush over to support, so as not to suffer too many casualties.
Liu Xiu was surprised and asked, "Guan Hai hasn't arrived yet?" ”
Chen Deng secretly despised Liu Xiu. But he didn't dare to show it on his face. The reason why Guan Hai dared not listen to Cao Cāo's order was because of your support, I don't believe you really don't know about it. He coughed and nodded.
Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, and said regretfully: "Brother Meng De is so busy that he is dizzy, and he hasn't told me about this matter for so long." I thought they were there. However, this matter is not easy for me to handle, the Yellow Turban Army is still a thief, and the court has not given them an official name. In the past, everyone guarded their homes together and tacitly helped each other, and that's it. For example, today's royal drive is a personal expedition, and it is indeed not easy to say that this officer and soldier are mixed with thieves. If you don't come, you must have a hard time. In this case, I will first inform Your Majesty of this matter, and ask Your Majesty to issue an edict of pardon to exempt them from the status of traitors, and they will be grateful to Dade and fight to the death. ”
Chen Deng was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, you are too ruthless. Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao are desperate, and you are still going to ask for a pardon edict step by step, which is obviously to make Cao Cāo and Yuan Shao fight hard and lose both.
"General, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Your Majesty is still in Pingyu, but Guan Hai is still in Qingzhou, this comes and goes, there is no five or six days to solve the problem, plus Guan Hai still needs time to march. If everything comes in order, I'm afraid that when Guan Hai arrives, Yuan Shao has already broken through......"
"Yuanlong, you're too worried." Liu Xiu interrupted Chen Deng's words with a smile: "Is Brother Meng De pinning all his hopes on Guan Hai, but forgetting me?" As long as he says hello, I can arrive within two hours, and the two of us join forces, can Yuan Shao still run away? He paused, then smiled again: "However, if the Yellow Turban Army is pardoned by His Majesty because of this, Yuanlong, you are also their benefactor." How about it, are you interested in going to Pingyu and meeting Your Majesty? ”
Of course, Chen Deng knew that Liu Xiu would not really sit idly by and watch Yuan Shao leave, he just wanted to remind Liu Xiu, and after getting Liu Xiu's promise, his task had actually been completed. However, he was immediately shocked by Liu Xiu's last sentence. Meet Your Majesty? The Son of Heaven is not a person that everyone can see, the Son of Heaven is in the deep palace, even if he goes out on patrol, it is also a hug from front to back, ordinary people and even ordinary officials may not see the Son of Heaven in their lives, and they can meet the Son of Heaven, even if they are not officials, it is a rare glory, enough to show off to their children and grandchildren. What's more, Chen Deng is conceited, has the world in mind, and wants to make a meritorious name, and now Liu Xiu asked him to meet the Son of Heaven, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as the Son of Heaven takes a fancy to him, it is not an accident that he jumps from a cloth cloth to a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones.
"General Xie, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses...... In a few hours, it is the New Year, and I wish you all book friends a happy new year!
