Chapter 509: Xuzhou Changed Hands

The one-eyed Xiahoudun was defeated and retreated, leaving behind more than 2,700 corpses, all of which were cavalry, and the losses were not small. Wang Xu, Zhang Liao, and Dian Wei led the crowd to chase and kill for more than 20 miles, and then collected their troops and returned to the camp.

This is a miracle, a miracle created by the Xiaoyaojin Dead Soldier and the Sharpshooter Armor!

If you take the initiative to attack, design an ambush, or go head-to-head, such a victory is nothing.

But with less than 1,400 people, under the premise of being defenseless, waiting for the shape of the plan, Shengsheng withstood the night attack of the fierce general Xiahoudun with nearly 4,000 elite cavalry, and counterattacked the Jedi to repel it, which is commendable!

Such a record is almost unbelievable. Although everyone was silent when the losses were counted, and more than half of the elite Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers and sharpshooters were lost, that kind of pride and pride was always on the table.

It may not be of much scale or history, but it will go down in history because it was a miracle!

Soon after everyone returned to the camp, He Yi rushed to meet him, unabashedly admiring and admiring. "General Wang, General Zhang, General Dian! This battle is really a miracle created by several generals, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, the last general will never dare to believe it! Last night's game, it is said that it is a 100,000-strong army, and I am afraid that it will also be defeated! ”

"That's a mistake!" Wang Xu immediately waved his hand solemnly and said solemnly: "This is the work of the dead warriors of Xiaoyaojin, the work of the spear armor!" It's not my power! If it was really 100,000 troops here, I am afraid that they had retreated dozens of miles away last night and suffered countless losses! ”

Dian Wei didn't speak, and stood silently behind Wang Xu!

Zhang Liao is so painful that his heart is dripping blood, and a thousand people who died are the elite of all his efforts. Everyone is his good brother. They are all his most loyal subordinates. He brought it all by hand!

He Yi's eyes swept over, looking at the warriors who raised their heads and chested up, revealing infinite pride, and also sighed for a long time: "If there are 100,000 such warriors, the world can be determined!" ”

Although this is a little exaggerated, but as a word of praise, Wang Xu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's not easy to talk about." Each of them is one in a hundred, walking out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, how can everyone be like this! ”

"That's just as well!" He Yi smiled freely, but then his voice changed, and he arched his hand: "General, the matter of the end of this battle has been exposed, I don't know if I can use the end of the general next?" ”

Wang Xu was also very satisfied with He Yi, who decisively sent troops to assist, which played an important role in the battle situation, and praised him at the moment: "You sent troops before." Decisive and powerful, it is already a great achievement. At present, there are not many arrangements, just prepare for our army to enter the city and station. ”

Hearing the praise, He Yi also seemed very happy, and replied: "The general has won the award, and the last general is just an inch!" Last night in the city, I heard the shouts of the battalion several miles away, and the flames were everywhere, and I wanted to send troops to rescue him! ”

Speaking of this, He Yi showed a little embarrassment again, his face was slightly red, but he still said sincerely: "It's just that the brothers of the last general, it is really difficult to assault thousands of Cao army elite cavalry in the wild, and they are afraid of Xiahoudun, if they rashly join the battle, I am afraid that they will be killed by Xiahoudun in the air, and also block the way of the general's elite soldiers, causing chaos and trampling." ”

"Therefore, the last general can only form a dense array, slowly approaching as a deterrent, and dare not charge quickly! Who knew that he stumbled upon the logistics sergeant of the Cao army on the road, so he thought of defeating them first, so that Xiahoudun would inevitably retreat regardless of victory or defeat, so he could not come to the rescue in time! ”

"It doesn't matter! Your judgment is very correct, and the soldier's way of dealing with it is not bad! Wang Xu agreed with a smile, of course he understood what He Yi meant.

His gang of yellow turbans, once they charged, it was difficult to maintain a tight formation of the infantry. After the chaos, with that kind of inferior equipment to face Cao Junjingcai, not to mention more than 10,000 people, even 100,000 people are useless, not only will they be killed one by one, but they may even mess up the Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers and sharpshooters, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

To put it bluntly, it's a rabble, it's still reluctant to gather a crowd to play a fixed defense, once you want to change the formation, adjust the battle, switch the offense and defense to change the strain or something, it's a monkey with a broken tail - you can't walk!

He Yi understood that Wang Xu was afraid of his face, so he spoke like this, and he didn't have any pride, he arched his hand slightly, and said in a slurred voice: "General, that ...... That last night's crisis...... Ignorance...... I don't know ......."

Wang Xu frowned slightly, but quickly woke up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the sons of you and He Man were the first to be protected by Dian Wei for the first time last night, and they escaped from the west, and now they have returned to the camp, safe and sound, and are resting in the back!" You have to thank Dian Wei for this, he waited to keep the two of them safe last night, but he delayed the time to lead his troops to resist the enemy. ”

He Yi was overjoyed, and immediately thanked Dian Wei again and again.

Then he praised He Yi again, Wang Xu didn't say much, took the generals to count the materials, and began to prepare to move into the father city and station.

At noon, when the sergeant was about to set off, Su Fei, the guard general of Luyang County, hurried in with 1,500 foot soldiers, accompanied by Ling Wanqing, the spy commander, who came from Xiangyang, caught up with Su Fei's troops on the way, and marched with him.

Wang Xu was very happy, and immediately asked Su Fei to stay in the camp outside the city, guard the supplies, and wait for the money from He Man's side to arrive, and then escort it back to Luyang first, of course, including He Yi and He Man's son......

The entry of the Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers and the sharpshooters into the city caused very grand cheers, and the Yellow Turban Army, who had surrendered to Jingzhou, repaid them infinite respect.

For these bandits who make a living by force all year round, strength is the best weapon to make them surrender, and last night's appearance of the two armies made these Yellow Turban soldiers tremble from the bottom of their hearts, in their rumors, Xiahou Dun, who was like a ghost general, attacked at night with superior forces, but was repelled by a few people, which they didn't dare to think of before.

This also greatly enhanced their sense of security, and they were full of expectations for being included in the Jingzhou Army, and most of them always relied on the strong.

The materials in the father city are quite abundant, and the conditions are good, and the soldiers have been well corrected.

He Yi even gave up the county government, but Wang Xu refused his hospitality and lived in the military camp in the city like the soldiers. After arranging a qiΔ“, he returned to his tent, and Ling Wanqing had been waiting here for a long time.

There are no outsiders, and Wang Xu is also more casual, so he smiled when he entered the tent: "Why did Ling Damei come to the front line?" ”

"Lord!" Ling Wan gave a gentle salute. "It's something to report!"

"Oh! Mei ...... originally wanted to tease Ling Wanqing, but suddenly remembered that he was scolded as a bastard last time, so he immediately changed his words: "Hmm...... What's that? ”

Ling Wanqing is such a person, how could she not notice it, and immediately looked at Wang Xu with a beautiful look in disgust, but her mouth was not slow: "Back to the lord, the day before yesterday, I got a report from the fast horse, as early as the fifth day of the first month, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xuzhou. claimed that Liu Bei led Xuzhou Mu by himself, but his name was not right, he was immoral, he was in a high position, and he was suspected of rebellion. ”

Then Liu Bei sent his righteous brother Zhang Fei to guard Xiapi, and personally led the army to Xuyi, Huaiyin and other counties to resist Yuan Shu. The two armies fought fiercely for half a month, each with its own victory and defeat. ”

"Originally, it was half a pound and eight taels on both sides, and it was difficult to have a result for a while, so the person in charge of the spy over there was not in a hurry to report back. But Cao Bao, the minister of the Pi State, was the old department of the late Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, who had a grudge against Zhang Fei and hated each other. Liu Bei set out to fight along the Huai River, and the contradiction between the two quickly intensified, Cao Bao refused to listen to Zhang Fei's orders, and was killed by Zhang Fei for disobedience. ”

"This Cao Bao has a very high prestige among the original Tao Qian's subordinates, and Zhang Fei's reckless move made the old Tao Qian subordinates and Liu Bei, the new main forces, hostile to each other and chaotic in Xiapi City. Liu Bei hurriedly sent Mi Zhu back to mediate, but his prestige was insufficient, and both sides did not obey the order, so it was difficult to be effective. ”

Soon after, Xiao Pei's LΓΌ Bu suddenly raised an army, led his army by land and water, and went east to attack Xiapi. Liu Bei's subordinate Zhonglang general, Danyang native Xu Tannai was Tao Qian's old department, and he was friendly with Cao Bao, so he colluded with Lu Bu and opened the city gate to welcome Lu Bu. Zhang Fei was defeated and retreated, and Lu Bu captured Liu Bei's wife and children, as well as the families of all officials and generals. ”

After Liu Bei learned the news, he led the army to rescue, but before he arrived at Xiapi, the army was already more than half dispersed, and the soldiers of the original Tao Qian all ran away, and even took many of his own people. He restrained the remnants, but was unable to fight LΓΌ Bu anymore, so he tried to capture Guangling, and then fought with Yuan Shu, was defeated again, and was forced to retreat to Haixi County. The officers and men of the army were tired, hungry, and confused, but for only three days, and even occasionally the soldiers killed each other because of petty disputes, and fed their hunger with human flesh. ”

"Fortunately, his soldiers Cao and Mi Zhu, who are from the East China Sea, are the big family of Xuzhou, the head of the Mi family, and they are anxious to order the Mi family to give up their property and quickly transport the military money and food, which can be alleviated. After Liu Bei asked Lu Bu to surrender, Lu Bu somehow accepted Liu Bei again, and also promoted him to be the assassin of Yuzhou, stationed in Peiguo Xiaopei, and claimed to attack Yuan Shu! ”

"But as of the time of the spy report, Liu Bei had garrisoned Xiaopei, and although Lu Bu was attached to the counties of Xuzhou and openly led Xuzhou Mu, he did not send troops."

After speaking, Ling Wanqing sorted out her thoughts slightly, and added: "However, according to the scattered intelligence analysis, the subordinates and Shan Huai and others suspect that Lu Bu's raid on Liu Bei should have something to do with Yuan Shu, but the specific matters are difficult to find out in detail. ”

As his words fell, Wang Xu suddenly smiled: "Where do you need to suspect that before Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, there must have been collusion between the two sides, and there may have been some promises, but then one of them did not materialize, so the two turned against each other." ”

"Since it was Lu Bu who claimed to fight Yuan Shu, then it was not surprising that Yuan Shu instigated him to do it, I am afraid that he promised something, but Yuan Shu broke his promise again, so he made a feud."

"As for accepting Liu Bei!" Wang Xu paused, and then teased softly: "He Lu Bu is not stupid, in the face of the double-line pressure of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, how can his current strength be enough?" This person doesn't know what it means to be soft-handed, but he is just using it to resist Cao Cao just like Liu Bei accepted him before! ”

"The lord is wise!" Ling Wanqing smiled charmingly. (To be continued......)
