Chapter 175 Personally into battle
Sun Ce and his entourage returned to Shouchun, and when they met Yuan Shu, they offered the jade seal of the country that Sun Jian had exchanged for his life, and at the same time, Sun Ce asked Yuan Shu to return to Jiangdong, and hoped that Yuan Shu could borrow troops and food.
Yuan Shu got the jade seal of the country, and his mind was occupied by this imperial object, and his joy can be imagined, he agreed to Sun Ce's request without thinking, and also made a note with Sun Ce.
Sun Ce hurriedly set off towards Jiangdong with less than 1,000 soldiers from his headquarters, 3,000 people lent to him by Yuan Shu, and a small amount of poor grain and grass.
This time, like a dragon entering the sea, there will be a super force in the world in the future, which will turn the south of the Yangtze River upside down.
Yuan Shu has the jade seal, how can he have any mind to fight Cao Cao, his mind is full of the idea of being the emperor, and Ji Ling's 100,000 army is also recalled little by little.
Cao Cao's Xuzhou did not have the pressure of Yuan Shu, and when he turned around, he had to go all out to deal with Lu Bu in Beihai and clear the hidden dangers in Xuzhou.
To his surprise, the teams of Kaiyang Zangba, Liu Pi and Gong Du actually drove north, and the army he sent was empty.
When the news that Puyang City was broken by Lu Bu reached Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao was shocked.
Puyang City.
Dawn is approaching, the Cao soldiers defending the city began to change their guards, a team of Cao soldiers cheered up their spirits, looked carefully outside the city, the last time they were suddenly killed by Lu Bu, so they were scared to the extreme, so, every time they kept vigil, Cao soldiers were like frightened birds, a little wind and grass, they were scared half to death.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a carriage. Cao Bing's spirits were shocked. It was already dawn. The lights and these things will be removed, now, how dare they withdraw, the lights are bright, and the generals who are on the night vigil have walked to the city tower and looked at the city.
"There is a voice, who will be so early in the morning? A merchant who gets up early wants to go into the city? A general rubbed his eyes and stared carefully at the city.
Not for a while. The sound of the carriage reached the bottom of the city, and by the dawn and the lights of the city, the defenders found that it was a group of officers and soldiers, and it seemed that they were their own people.
"Where did you go?" The general asked.
The carriage stopped, and the general-like man who rode in front of him squinted at the castle tower and said, "Blind your dog's eyes, this is the lord's carriage!" Don't hurry up and open the door! ”
"My lord?" The defenders gasped.
The general was also surprised, Cao Cao is back? Didn't you say that Cao Cao and the army would not come back for another day? How did it arrive so quickly!
Could it be a scam? The general's mind was spinning, fearing that he had been deceived. But if it was true, he wouldn't open the door to greet him. He is the one who died!
Seeing that they have so few people, it doesn't matter if it's not Cao Cao.
"Someone, open the gates!" The general ordered left and right, and after speaking, he whispered to a crony next to him: "Go and inform Xun Junshi and the two generals Yu Ban and Le Jin, and say that the lord is back!" ”
The gates opened, and the carriage slowly drove into the city.
In the carriage, Cao Cao leaned against the window, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, and there was another person next to him, Guo Jia.
"Lord, we're here!" Guo Jia shouted softly.
Cao Cao was indifferent, Guo Jia was helpless, and shouted several times before Cao Cao woke up sleepy-eyed, stretched, yawned and said, "Yes, we have arrived?" ”
"It's Puyang!" Guo Jia smiled.
"It's a bumpy road, isn't it very uncomfortable for Fengxiao!" Cao Cao asked sleepily.
Guo Jia smiled: "This is nothing, the lord is worried." ”
Xun Yu, Yu Ban and Le Jin learned that Cao Cao had returned early, so they hurriedly got up from the *, quickly dressed and washed, and rushed towards Cao Cao's mansion.
Cao Cao sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at the scene in the city, and sighed, "That Lu Bu has destroyed my Puyang City to such an extent, it's really hateful!" ”
Puyang City, which was originally extremely prosperous, is already dilapidated.
"The lord doesn't need to be angry, didn't Yuan Shao agree to join forces with us and block Lu Bu's way back to the west? This must make Lu Bu die in the North Sea! Guo Jiawen's weak face burst out with a trace of murderous intent.
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, hehe, Lu Bu, Lu Bu, look at how you die this time!" Cao Cao sneered.
Cao Fu.
Xun Yu, Yu Ban, Le Jin and others stood outside the mansion in high spirits, waiting for Cao Cao's return, they were all curious, why did Cao Cao come back early, was it because they didn't guard Yanzhou, or because of Lu Bu?
After getting Cao Cao's arrival, Xun Yu and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute and plead guilty, Cao Cao smiled and held several people, "What is the crime of everyone, isn't Lu Bu still beaten away after reaching the most!" ”
Walking to the mansion, someone had already prepared pastries for Cao Cao and others to eat.
"What's going on in the North Sea?" Cao Cao asked Xun Yu.
Xun Yu said respectfully: "It is said that Beihai is about to be attacked by the Yellow Turban Thieves, Lu Bu led his troops to arrive and help Kong Rong kill Guan Hai, and now they are united." ”
"Oh, what is Yuan Tan doing?" Cao Cao asked again.
"Yuan Tan seems to be a little ready to move." Xun Yu said.
"Ha, if it's really as Feng Xiao said, Yuan Tan wants to destroy Lu Bu and gain Yuan Shao's appreciation and the support of the Jizhou family, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers! That Lu Bu is so easy to deal with! Cao Cao smiled disdainfully.
"Kong Rong and Lu Bu's combined forces are only five or six thousand, Beihai City was beaten to tatters by the Yellow Turban Thieves, but Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses have 20,000 people, even if Lu Bu is a tiger, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning!" Yu Ban said.
Cao Cao glanced at Yu Ban and said, "Hmph, if Lu Bu doesn't have a backup move, will he help Kong Rong repel the Yellow Turban Thief and put himself in danger?" Kaiyang's Taishan thief Zang Ba and Runan's Liu Pi and Gong all drove north, as if they were going to join Lu Bu's army, and the sum of these two forces could completely deal with Yuan Tan, even if they eliminated Yuan Tan in turn, it was not impossible! ”
Yu Ban was startled, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and stopped talking.
"Yuan Tan, Lu Bu, Kong Rong, and Zang Ba are really troublesome, pass on our military order, block the route from Yanzhou to the Yellow River, and block the road to Lu Bu's return to the west." Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
"No!" Yu Ban and Lejin hug fists.
Cao Cao tapped the table with his fingers, and said in his heart, I have already asked Xiahou Yuan to lead the army to blockade the Luojin area, so that the two lines of defense, even if Lu Bu has wings, will not want to fly over.
"Spread my military order again, rectify the army and horses, once Yuan Tan is defeated and defeated, we will immediately send troops, we can't let Lu Bu have a good time!" Cao Cao said.
"No!" Yu Ban and Le Jin hugged their fists again
North Sea.
As soon as the Yellow Turban thieves were repulsed, Yuan Tan's vanguard army was killed again, not to mention the three thousand warriors who defended the city, not to mention, they also had war-weariness in their hearts, and in the face of wave after wave of enemy troops, they felt more and more powerless, and negative emotions spread in the hearts of the soldiers.
Zhu Ling took 8,000 soldiers to Beihai City, the military style was quite rigorous, and the siege equipment and so on were readily available, lined up under the city, and opened their mouths to the ruined city.
Above the city, the three thousand defenders trembled in the wind, and the hands holding the weapons trembled a little.
Knowing that Yuan's army was attacking the city, Lu Bujun also climbed the city tower to defend, and as soon as the fierce Lu Bujun ascended the city tower, he immediately dispelled the negative emotions that spread in the air, and replaced it with a solemn murderous aura.
Kong Rong, Tai Shici and the others looked at the neat and orderly army of Zhu Ling below, discussing how to repel Zhu Ling.
After a while, Lu Bu strode up.
"Wen Hou, there are 8,000 people in this Zhu Ling, and we only have 5,000 people, we will definitely be able to hold it today, but Yuan Tan is still behind with 12,000 people, our chances of winning are not good!" When Kong Rong saw Lu Bu, it was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Lu Bu's hand.
Tai Shi Ci also said: "The Yellow Turban Thief is different from Yuan Jun, except for the large number of Yellow Turban Thieves, there is no place to take it, while Yuan Jun has sufficient armor and strong combat effectiveness, far above the Yellow Turban Thief!" ”
Lu Bu waved his hand, "You don't have to worry, we will give Zhu Ling a head-on blow to them today, and let them know that we are powerful!" ”
"Head-on?" Kong Rong was puzzled.
"Where is Yuan Tan's rear army?" Lu Bu asked.
"The scout just came to report that Yuan Tan took the rear army to set off from Dongjun just now." Kong Rong replied.
"Is the time God has given us enough?" Lu Bu smiled.
Tai Shici's eyelids jumped, "Wen Hou wants to take the initiative?" ”
"Yes, there are 5,000 of us, and there are 8,000 of them, the difference in numbers is not very much, if we defend the city, we can certainly defend it, but if we want Yuan Tan to be hit hard, it is obviously impossible, only take advantage of their unstable foothold, give them a little bitterness first!" Lu Budao.
"Zhu Ling" Lu Bu squinted at Yuan Jun's main army.
"General Tai Shici, you and I will lead the camp to charge, attack their Shuai Qi direction, and defeat their main army! Hao Meng and Cheng Lian, each of you will lead an army as a flank and attack their two wings! ”
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said.
"No!" Hao Meng, Cheng Liandao.
"Wen Hou wants to go into battle in person!" Kong Rong's eyes are like bull's eyes, Lu Bu's peerless tiger courage is the best in the world, and today he can finally open his eyes!
When some of the Beihai soldiers next to him heard this, they were all dizzy and their spirits were shaken, and they could see the invincible Lu Bu take action in person, what a great happiness it was!
Tai Shi Ci raised his eyebrows, and he was also looking forward to it in his heart, he also wanted to see Lu Bu's tiger bravery, what was the difference between him and him.
"Beat the drums of war!" Kong Rong shouted hoarsely, the excitement in his tone, you can imagine how excited he was.
When the drummers learned that Lu Bu was going into battle to retreat from the enemy, they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they tried their best to beat the drums desperately.
"Knock ——!"
"Knock ——!"
The sound of the drums shook the heavens and the earth, broke through the clouds, and shook the earth, and the echo of each blow reverberated in the hearts of the soldiers and aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
Zhu Ling and the others in the city were surprised and shocked, they hadn't beaten the drums to attack the city, why did the city beat the drums first? What do Kong Rong and Lu Bu want to play?
"Oh no, do they want to attack!" Zhu Ling's nerves trembled, and an ominous premonition crept into his heart.
"Damn it, you guys give me a drum to attack the city!" Zhu Ling turned and shouted to the drummers. (To be continued......)
