With the arrival of this infantry force, Gao Shun also immediately changed formation, the heavy cavalry retreated, and the light cavalry began to guerrilla, and the frontal battlefield was completely vacant, and the newly joined trap camp filled the gap left by the withdrawal of the heavy cavalry with a jaw-dropping speed.

"Gao Shuai still likes to be trapped!" Wen Ping let out such an emotion, and Yu Ban, who had just passed by, let out a loud smile and said: "That is the iron army selected and trained by the senior marshal, and even the lord likes it very much, you still don't want to be envious!" ”

Wen Ping coldly "snorted" and shouted at the back of Yu Ban who was far away: "Yu Wen, you take a break, and compare with me to see who kills more enemies!" "After that, he also rode his horse to catch up with Yu Ban.

And Gao Shun also dismounted and stood in front of the battle with a knife at this time, in fact, this battle had been won, but Xu Ji had already explained before leaving, and he had to play his Xu Ji's momentum, which meant that Xu Ji changed his previous style of forbearance. And Gao Shun also knows very well that it's time to show Xu Ji's momentum, otherwise where is there a place in this world?

"Soldiers, do you remember how you joined the trap camp back then?"

"Remember!"

"Remember the order to trap the camp?"

"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life! The ambition of the battle, there is death and no life! ”

"Today is the time for you and me to win glory for the Lord and show the world our enthusiasm, do you remember what the Lord said when he saw us off?"

"There are deaths in battle, there is no surrender, and the soul of the battle is also!"

"Okay, everyone, whether you live up to the Lord's last expectation will only look at today and kill me!"

Gao Shun's words on weekdays are very concise, only today he said so much, and this is enough to make these soldiers in the camp understand that their boss attaches great importance to today's battle. But the effect was excellent, and this remark made these originally calm trap camps fall into a frenzy. And this was a nightmare result for the Montenegrin army.

The threat of the two light cavalry on the flank, Yu Ban and Wen Ping, made it impossible for the Montenegrin army to maintain the formation, and the formation that had been defeated under the impact of the heavy cavalry was even more uncontrollable. But what Zhang Yan was most worried about was not the heavy cavalry that was chilling to look at. Although these heavily armored monsters are amazingly powerful, they have extremely obvious shortcomings, as long as these soldiers under their own command can "run", the other party will never be able to pose any threat to their own soldiers, and once they encounter terrain problems, these deadly heavy armored cavalry will become a trouble that drags down Gao Shun's march and pursuit.

What really chilled Zhang Yan was the light cavalry that roamed in the outskirts of the battle circle like the Huren rangers, these guys who were good at riding and archery were like bloodthirsty hungry wolves, once they showed their flaws, they would come up mercilessly and bite hard, the threat of this encroachment was far more terrible than the reckless heavy cavalry in front of them.

The current situation is that Zhang Yan has to retreat, and there is no doubt about the ability to attack the camp, and it is the energetic camp that is "belated" after resting, so their combat effectiveness is even more terrifying. Zhang Yan also knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to organize a frontal counteroffensive now. And Zhang Yan didn't see any hope of winning.

Retreat, only retreat. But the current situation is that there is a group of maggots-like light horsemen on their retreat, and the foot soldiers will never be able to escape the pursuit of these guys with extremely high mobility, but if they continue to consume this bit of their own money, they will all lose their money in Jinxiang, which is contrary to Zhang Yan's original plan, and I am afraid that he may not be able to complete the goal he set before.

As the trapped camp pressed up, the military formation like a steel fortress revealed an earth-shattering murderous aura, and what made Zhang Yan feel even more cold was the coldness in the eyes of these soldiers wrapped in heavy armor, and there was no extra sound. There was not even a shout of killing, there was just the sound of footsteps stepping on my heart step by step. The spear's glow in the scorching sun made the heavily armored foot soldier a little illusory, like a ghost driven back from a distant ghost.

"Trapped! Trapped! ”

As the trap approached, the silent trap let out a neat battle cry. Then there is a forest of straight guns, with two wings of swords and shields, and a steady and majestic atmosphere like a mountain. This is Gao Shun's way of fighting. There is no falsehood, it's all a real fight with a knife and a shot. It is this kind of iron blood and perseverance that allows him to hold the position of the first general under Xu Ji. In terms of martial arts, both Chen Zhi and Dian Wei are far beyond him, and even the two young generals he leads may not be able to defeat him. But when it comes to leading troops to fight, only Chen Zhi under Xu Ji is qualified to have a long time with Gao Shun.

And Gao Shun's way of fighting is exactly what Zhang Yan likes and hates the most, and the reason for liking it is that the Montenegrin army under his command is good at running and guerrillas, so they have a thousand ways to defeat the trapped camp in the place they are good at and in the way they are good at, or even if they can't be defeated, they can at least consume each other. The most annoying reason is also very simple, that is, in the current situation, he has nothing to fight against this beast wrapped in steel.

You can only escape, but, where to escape? It is impossible for Zhang Yan to retreat, and there is Liu Dai who was trapped in Jinxiang by him as a "bait", the formation here is so huge, presumably Liu Dai has already gotten the news, once he retreats, he and those soldiers are afraid that they will fall into a situation of being attacked on their backs, and what awaits him at that time is definitely a situation where Gao Shun is harvested little by little, so Zhang Yan can only choose to withdraw from the direction from which Gao Shun came.

But how could Gao Shun let Zhang Yan get his wish? This time, Xu Ji dispatched almost all the strength he had left in Chen, and it was inevitable that he would not just be satisfied with repelling Zhang Yan. Xu Ji's plans and plans are really too big, Zhang Yan is just a small stumbling block on this road, and Yanzhou is absolutely impossible for Zhang Yan to get involved, so Zhang Yan must withdraw from Yanzhou, otherwise Xu Ji will never tolerate it. So even though he was far behind Zhang Yan in terms of numbers, Gao Shun still resolutely chose to pursue.

To see whether an army is a strong army, there is more than one aspect, the reason why this soldier brought by Gao Shun is elite is because they have almost no fatal shortcomings in any aspect. Gao Shun had already set off on horseback without arranging how to pursue the light cavalry, and their task was to delay Zhang Yan's retreat as quickly as possible. The heavy cavalry pursued from afar, which was the main force of the pursuit and the center point of the strangulation. Once Zhang Yan's retreating troops were in chaos, these soldiers would never mind inflicting heavy losses on Zhang Yan. What's more, Zhang Yan didn't dare to take risks, he didn't know what kind of person Xu Ji was. But he knows that this is by no means an easy opponent. So he could only force his way through.

The trapped camp once again set off for Jinxiang, the purpose was obvious, that is, to cut off Zhang Yan's possible reinforcements and "relieve the siege" for poor Liu Dai. Of course, this is what Bao Xin saw, and of course he won't know what Xu Ji really thinks when he doesn't know where he is. In fact, Liang Xi also suggested that Xu Ji seize control of Yanzhou in one fell swoop, and then set up his own side in the name of righteousness and as a concubine, and then try to forge ahead.

But Xu Ji's goal is even bigger than Liang Xi's blueprint, he is no longer satisfied with Yanzhou at this time, although Jizhou is a piece of fat that he can't swallow, but he must make enough benefits from it. And this is also the purpose of him not hesitating to risk sending Guo Jia to Yecheng, there is no need for Guo Jia to take Jizhou, because even if he takes it, it is impossible to hold it, so Guo Jia's purpose from the beginning is to disrupt Jizhou, of course, the news that is coming back now is that the Zhen family is involved, which is undoubtedly a huge benefit, but Xu Ji has no more instructions, Guo Jia is a person who understands. This also saved Xu Ji's heart.

At this time, Xu Ji was already thinking about Xuzhou, he had not forgotten the promise that Mi Zhu, who had become an official in Xuzhou, made to him back then, and Xu Ji was indeed the territory he wanted to seize, because Xuzhou was adjacent to Qingzhou. After you get Xuzhou, you can use Xuzhou as a springboard to approach Qingzhou, and then you can connect Qingxu Yan together, and your potential will also be greatly increased. But this is also an extremely risky move, and one carelessness is a void.

It's just that now it's still not the best time to seize Xuzhou. Xu Ji also understood very well, otherwise the elder brother would have come to inform him a long time ago. Now Mi Zhu's immobility also shows that Tao Qian still has a very high control over Xuzhou at this time, and Xu Ji doesn't think that he has any advantage over this old fox, these guys don't care about his identity.

At this time, Cao Cao has become a huge obstacle, and Cao Cao, who has settled in Guangling, is bound to develop his power to the Central Plains, so Xuzhou will soon become the target of this guy. Against Cao Cao's opponent, Xu Ji can't guarantee that he will win, this is an unpredictable opponent, but for the time being, he doesn't need to worry too much, the biggest problem for Xu Ji at present is not his current but a longer-term plan.

The princes of all parties are now almost blatant on each side, Xiliang Ma Teng Han Sui also colluded with the Qiang people to firmly occupy Xiliang, Youzhou Liu Yu's attack is insufficient but more than enough, Hanzhong Zhang Lu is not idle to break the Tao, the only weakness is Han Fu.

Xu Ji does not have any intention of going south, and now Sun Jian has been seriously injured under Liu Biao's calculations, and has not recovered so far, although he has escaped death pitifully, but he is no longer the majestic posture of the "Jiangdong Tiger" of the year, and a few days ago he passed on his family business to his eldest son Sun Ce. Xu Ji's idea is very simple, the land of Jiangdong is left to Sun Jian and Cao Cao to play, and even if he has the heart, he can't take care of it now.

But Xu Ji still has a heart disease, and that is Chang'an.

Of course, what Xu Ji is worried about is not the Liu Xie who has nothing to do, this so-called "young emperor" has never been a good thing in his eyes, and it is easy for Dong Zhuo to kill him. It's just that now Liu Xie is still the son of the Han Dynasty, and he is held hostage by traitorous ministers, how can Xu Ji, as a big Han horse, ignore it? So Xu Ji is bound to make a difference, but no matter what, it is definitely harmful to Xu Ji, and Xu Ji actually has no more choices in today's situation.

Chang'an is bound to go, but when to go is a debatable question, today's Dong Zhuo is really like a turtle cowering in a solid "turtle shell", no matter how great the external pressure is, it can't shake him at all, and the plan for today can only start from the inside of Chang'an, and even the so-called book strength Dong Zhuo is still the first in the world, Xu Ji is not arrogant enough to want to rely on his own family background to fight for the family behind Dong Zhuo. But then again, if he wanted to solve Dong Zhuo, Xu Ji also knew very well that it was impossible not to use the power of the clans, and it was impossible for these clans to let go of the opportunity to re-divide the power, so Xu Ji simply made up his mind that he would never invest a single soldier, but this was still the next move.

Today's Xu Ji is actually in Xiangyi. Accompanying him was a young man named Li Yan who had recently defected to him, and this Li Yan was square. Xu Ji has inspected him, and he is indeed talented. But it was too arrogant, so Xu Ji kept it by his side to sharpen it, and the person who got such treatment before was Dian Wei's cousin, that is, Huang Jun. Now Huang Jun is already in the trap camp and is in the position of commander.

Speaking of Huang Jun, he was originally a civilian, but after Wei Zhong's incident, his temperament changed greatly, and then he abandoned literature and martial arts. Although his age is destined to prevent him from growing in martial arts, he has a more shrewd mind than the average general, so his true authority is far greater than that of an ordinary commander. It can even be said that he is the "military priest sacrifice wine" in Gao Shun's camp. And this Li Yan in front of him is a good seedling whose qualifications are far stronger than Huang Jun, not to mention both civil and military, he is familiar with military books, and it is precisely because of this that his arrogance is amazing, and he even said in front of Xu Ji that if it weren't for Xu Ji's luck being too good, he Li Yan might not lose to Xu Ji. Xu Ji just smiled at this and asked lightly: "Isn't it true that the positive side doesn't know that luck is also part of strength?" ”

In this way, Li Yan was naturally speechless, and he simply stayed by Xu Ji's side after the last moment, of course, Xu Ji could also see that this kid was full of unconvinced, but this was not a troublesome thing for Xu Ji, this kid was far inferior to Guo Jia he saw when he first arrived at Yingchuan Academy.

"Positive. Where do you think we're going from here? Xu Ji's question was obviously a comparison, and Li Yan also understood it, so he replied without thinking: "Enter Yanzhou and plot Xuzhou; Watch the situation in Chang'an. If there is a change in the world, the troops will come out of Qingzhou and dominate the Central Plains! Although this kid was very arrogant, Xu Ji still had to applaud Li Yan's vicious and sharp eyes, and he almost made his intentions clear. However, Li Yan is still young after all, and he missed a crucial question.

"Positive. And what about Jizhou? Yuan Shao, what do you think of him? Xu Ji smiled. And Li Yan obviously did not fail to take this into account. A smile also appeared on his handsome face: "The lord said that he laughed, the matter of Jizhou has already been decided in the lord's heart, why do you need to say too much?" It's Nishikawa, isn't the lord interested? ”

Xu Ji couldn't help but sigh lightly, although Li Yan was young and vigorous, but with this vision is enough to make people pay attention: "It's not that I'm not interested, it's just that you also see that now I have limited manpower, and I will never be able to eat such a big fat in a short period of time. Positive, down-to-earth is the way to win! Li Yan was a little displeased when he heard this, but then he nodded suddenly: "The lord means that he is worried about making too many enemies?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head and sighed: "It's not like that, it's my identity, although I am a concubine, I may not be able to have that much power, if I can defeat Dong Zhuo in the future, how will the young emperor treat me?" I may not be able to be so free, and once the power is too great, I am afraid that I will end up like Huo Guang back then. ”

Li Yan's face changed, and then he said in a low voice: "Lord, do you have any plans to replace him?" Xu Ji Huo Ran turned his head to look at Li Yan, only to see that the sincerity on Li Yan's face was obviously the sincerity of what he said, Xu Ji said coldly: "At this time, I have to mention it again!" After saying this, he turned his head and walked outside the house, but Li Yan, who was reprimanded behind him, not only did not lose but showed a smile that would wake up.

Xu Ji did not object, but the so-called "Hugh has to mention it again", that is, Xu Ji just said that the time has not come, and from these words, he can also hear that Xu Ji is not without ideas, but the time has not come. Of course, this is an extremely exciting thing for Li Yan, he has reached the limit of disappointment with Dahan, so what he has always wanted to see is the so-called "changing sky". Of course, the princes of the world do have more and better choices, but there is no doubt that Xu Ji is the person who has the most appetite for him, this is a person who is as young as himself, and the most important thing is that Xu Ji's experience is too legendary, no matter what kind of person he is, he can't surpass Xu Ji's limelight, so he came to Chen Liu out of a kind of almost worship.

Xu Ji did not disappoint him, this is a capable and ambitious person, and what makes Li Yan happy and sincere is Xu Ji's style of acting that is not arrogant or impatient, although he is sometimes a little conservative, but this happens to be what he lacks, so Li Yan will be willing to stay, this is a "senior" who can exist as his mentor, although in fact, Xu Ji is not a few years older than him.

And what about Xu Ji? Of course, his suggestion to Li Yan is not unmoved, but now the Han is still an unshakable existence in the hearts of the people, someone must shake the foundation of the Han, only the troubled times after being broken by the Han Dynasty can make the people agree with a new monarch, although Xu Ji actually does not desire the so-called position of the Son of Heaven.

Saving the people sounds like a very noble slogan, but Xu Ji knows better than anyone how difficult it is to really want to do it, and everything must go on steadily step by step.

Everything has just begun. (To be continued......)
