Chapter 332: The battle line is elongated

Yuan's army captured Luoyang, Cao Hong and Xu Huang fled and escaped, Liu Ye was captured alive, and the news was quickly transmitted to the rear support army through the letter detective, Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's support soldiers and horses were already fast to the border of Luoyang at this moment, and immediately gathered the army after knowing the news, stationed in place, and discussed the offensive strategy!

Cao Junshuai's tent!

"Alas~~!" Xiahou sighed heavily, and glanced into the distance outside the tent with infinite sorrow, which was full of endless melancholy.

"Defeated again! This time it's good, even Luoyang has been lost, Luoyang is the gateway to the frontier town connecting the northwest and Dongzhou, and now it is occupied by Yuan Shang, the Middle Earth Plain is the land of Pingchuan for the Yuan army, and the cavalry under Yuan Shang is already strong. …… Xu Du's side, Xun Yu, do they have any news? ”

Cao Ren's face was also extremely unsightly, and he said softly: "On the side of Xu Du, yesterday there was a messenger who came to give an order, only saying that the lord and Xun Lingjun have an order, if Yuan Shang is advancing eastward, he will only have to face it head-on, and if he can fight, he will advance, and if he can't fight, he will retreat, and the military horses will be dispatched by us, but there is one point, the soldiers and horses of the generals are not allowed to reinforce any local state and county, and the soldiers and horses of the local states and counties are not allowed to be arbitrarily gathered into our Chinese army, and that's it." ”

"Smack!" Xiahoudun slapped the table case heavily, and said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense!" Let my army cut off all the soldiers and horses of the local states and counties, isn't this an opportunity for Yuan Shang to take advantage of? How many soldiers and horses can a local state or county have? If it weren't for our scheduling, they would all be like a plate of loose sand, wouldn't they let Yuan Shang eat them up one by one! ”

Cao Ren smiled bitterly, shook his head indifferently and said, "Everyone understands the truth, but I don't understand what the lord and Xun Yu think...... The lord is young, high-ranking and a literati on weekdays, and he must have no experience in this area, so the reason why such an edict was issued. must have listened to Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu's advice... This is understandable, but Yuan Rang, I don't understand, Xun Yu and several of them are also old people, and their resourcefulness is far better than that of you and me, how could they think of such a stupid edict? ”

Xiahoudun shook his head and said, "Who knows... The urgency of the delay is to meet Cao Zhang first. Cao Hong, Xu Huang and a few others, then gathered their soldiers and horses and confronted Yuan Shang...... Since those old guys in Xu Du don't care, then let's solve it ourselves! ”

********************

Xu Du, Guo Jia's mansion.

"Nine hundred steps, nine hundred and one step, nine hundred and two steps......" Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia, who was constantly wandering around the courtyard, and sat there counting in fragments.

Guo Jia's face was pale. But it was obviously a lot stronger than when he was seriously ill, and at this moment, while struggling to support his body in the courtyard, he squinted at Jia Xu, who was sitting there unhurriedly counting his steps, and said dissatisfiedly: "You old thing." What are you doing if you don't get down to business and stare at me every day? ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said disappretently: "The top priority, for the old man." Watching your illness recover day by day is the real big thing for us Cao at the moment, and other things. Hehe, it doesn't matter. ”

Guo Jia couldn't help but sneer heavily when he heard this, on the other side of him, an elder with a long white beard stared at Guo Jia's body and complexion carefully, and looked at it for a long time before he nodded and smiled: "Guo Xijiu's condition is getting better day by day, the old decay is in his eyes, and he is happy in his heart, although you are currently ill and not eradicated, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about your life, as long as it is slightly consolidated, supplemented by decoction, then there should be a day of recovery in the future." ”

Guo Jia turned around, bowed deeply to the old man who spoke, and said: "Zhang Yisheng came all the way from Jingnan to heal Guo's body, if it wasn't for Zhang Yisheng's action, then Guo Mou said that he had to die, how could he have the opportunity to see the light of day again?" Never forget the grace of saving lives! I also ask Zhang Yisheng to accept my worship. ”

This old man is none other than Liu Bei, who was entrusted by Liu Bei and was sent to Xu Du to diagnose and treat Guo Jia, the medical saint Zhang Ji, that is, Zhang Zhongjing is also.

Seeing that Guo Jia was so polite, Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly raised his hand and said with a slight smile: "Relieving the sick and removing worries is what people in my medical path should do. ”

Zhang Ji then pointed out some tricks and matters that should be paid attention to in Guo Jia's recovery, and then said goodbye and left, only saying that he would come back tomorrow to watch Guo Jia's illness and movements.

After Zhang Ji left, there were only Jia Xu and Guo Jia in the courtyard.

Jia Xu touched the beard on his chin, looked at Guo Jia carefully, nodded and said: "Looking at your recovery, it can be said that it is getting better and better day by day, so I can rest assured, I am afraid that I will go to the battlefield in the future and let Yuan Shang see it, I am afraid that I will scare out that kid's big teeth." ”

Guo Jia was tired of walking, gasping and sitting on a stone in the courtyard, raising his eyes and glaring at Jia Xu, he said, "Don't talk about those useless things first, I just ask you, what is the situation of the battle ahead now?" ”

Jia Xu said lightly: "Luoyang is lost, what else?" ”

Guo Jia said lightly when he heard this: "Luoyang is lost, Liu Bei didn't make a move?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Of course I won't make a move, with Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's current mentality, although they are ostensibly united with us, but if they don't see our army suffer enough losses, how can they make a move easily, you and I understand the truth of the snipe and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman, if it were you and I were in the place, at this time, would you make a move?" Will I make a move? ”

Guo Jia sighed when he heard this, and said: "Yes, unless we can use the fastest speed to make Yuan Shang stretch the battle line in Zhongzhou, we will be able to make Liu Bei attack quickly, but in that case, the losses of our army will also increase relatively." ”

Jia Xu was expressionless, and said indifferently, "From the very beginning of this battle, Liu Bei was destined to become the winner of the worst battle, this is something that you and I have already settled, what is there to be strange and annoying." ”

Guo Jia sniffed lightly and sighed, "Isn't this unwilling?" ”

Jia Xu said indifferently: "What can you do if you are unwilling, you know the secret of the Dao, and Xiahoudun and Cao Ren don't know the situation of the Dao at all, I am afraid that the two of them have scolded us hundreds of times in their hearts now." ”

Guo Jia smiled bitterly, didn't answer, and suddenly said, "How is Zhang Liao's side?" However, he was ordered to go to the east to support. ”

Jia Xu nodded, and said: "Gao Gan stationed troops along the Qingzhou Sea, and there is no movement, I discussed with Xun Lingjun, I have already transferred Zhang Liao and Xiahou Shang to sit in Xuzhou's soldiers and horses, and sent them to the east to assist Xiahou Xuan, Cao Ren and others, I believe that they will be able to make peace soon." ”

*******************

After Yuan Shang's army occupied Luoyang, he immediately marched eastward, and the soldiers and horses of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren were also with Cao Hong, Xu Huang and other remnants, and the troops were stationed to extend the line, waiting for the opportunity, and the two sides met at a place three hundred miles east of Luoyang, arranged soldiers and horses, and waited for the battle, ready to fight at any time.

The soldiers and horses on both sides faced each other, and the three drums stopped, but Yuan Shang personally led Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Wang Shuang, Ma Yan, Zhang Kai, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, Han Meng, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and other Yuan generals rushed out side by side, and on the side of Cao Jun, it was Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cao Xiu, Niu Jin and other generals lined up side by side.

Yuan Shang looked left and right, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, bursting into a trembling laughter.

"Haha~~~!"

This burst of laughter came suddenly, only scared the generals around him into a burst of creepy, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what kind of sheep madness the lord of the Dao suddenly committed, causing such a stubble to laugh, is it unreasonable?

Zhang Jaw swallowed a mouthful of foam softly, and whispered to Yuan Shang: "Lord? Why do you laugh all of a sudden...... Got something bad for breakfast? ”

Yuan Shang shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the Cao lineup opposite, and said with satisfaction: "How many years, how many years, the Cao family's military general lineup has always been better than our Hebei army on the whole!" But now, there are many new generals in our army over the years, and the Cao family has lost a lot of fierce generals who can fight habitually... Today's lineups of both sides are heading towards this battle... I don't want to be happy, it's obvious that we have an advantage....... thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, hahaha, you said I don't want to bear today, they can't do it...... Haha ”

Zhang Jaw grinned when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, what kind of person is this, just this human nature, too villainous to be ambitious, right?

But it is obvious that Yuan Shang is the obvious kind of villain who has ambitions!

But seeing that he shook the whip in his hand, he pointed to the Xiahoudun army formation opposite, and said loudly: "Which one is the leader, come out and talk to me!" ”

When Xiahoudun heard this, he stepped forward in two steps and said: "This will be the coach Xiahoudun, Yuan Shang, what do you say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Yuan Shang smiled, pointed at Xiahou and said, "Your Cao clan's fierce generals have not always been very much. Today, Yuan is going to break your immortal myths and legends... Not much nonsense! Come, heads-up, competition! ”

Xiahoudun's one-eyed couldn't help frowning, and said, "Yuan Shang." Why do you say that? It's okay to compare, but I don't know how you want to compare? ”

"Haha

Yuan Shang suddenly burst into a burst of bad laughter, causing all the generals on both sides to shudder, but saw Yuan Shang raise his hand, pointed at the generals behind him, and said loudly: "Today, let's fight the generals....... my Yuan army is wealthy, the quality of the generals is good, the quantity is large, buy one get one free, you send a general, we not only send a follow-up, but also set up a cheerleader standing next to you, how about it, enough for you, right?" ”

General Yuan Junzhong couldn't help but gasp collectively, opened his jaw and coughed, and hurriedly said: "Lord, you can't joke about this, aren't you messing around?" ”

"Who's messing around? Lao Tzu is rich and rich, and some are military generals, can't he buy one get one free? I'm going to be an upstart today, don't stop me, whoever stops me, I'm in a hurry! (To be continued......)
