In the third year of Chuping (192 A.D.), August 25. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Gongsun Zhan's generals Zhao Yun and Tian Kai failed in the night attack, and lost more than 1,200 cavalry, of which Baima Yicong accounted for 453 people, nearly 40% of the proportion. Such a result made Hebei Zhongxiong lose color overnight!

What kind of troops is the White Horse Righteous Servant? It's a very good northern goblin rider! It is a division that followed its lord Gongsun Zan to break the Hu people and block Wuhuan and Xianbei from the pass! Their prestige can only be called "the best in the north"!

So, why would such a force retreat? Answer... It's deadly...

For one, they underestimated their opponents. This is not difficult to understand, as the strongest troops in the Northland, they have the qualifications to defy all foot soldiers, but unfortunately they ran into the "hooked snake".

Second, their whereabouts have long been controlled by the Jiaozhou military. It is difficult to have a chance of winning by hitting "complete" with "rashness".

Third, their equipment is too different from that of the Jiaozhou Army. Take the upper body as an example, Bai Mayi is equipped with cotton clothes from the inside and Xuanjia from the outside, which is already a relatively high-end configuration in the late Han Dynasty. The armor worn by the "hooked snake" is biased towards the armor of the Ming Dynasty, and whether it is Gan Ning or the soldier as the commander, the only difference is in the color of the helmet and armor. Not to mention the degree of hardness, but to say that the coverage area and the heart shield on the chest can make or break the battle situation. Coupled with the design of the interlayer, a layer of cowhide, a thin layer of iron, and a layer of armor, its defensive power can be imagined. (Xuanjia, the name given to iron armor in the late Han Dynasty.) Its standard chest and back are connected, with short sleeves, and are mostly made of iron armor, which is extremely hard. ）

Finally, there is the restraint of weapons. Speaking of which, in fact, it is just the result of Wang Yifan's unintentional insertion, because the "rope hook" with the "hook snake" was originally considered to be used by the soldiers who fell into the water to get on the boat, and he did not think about the level of hooking the horse's legs. It was he who listened to Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's suggestions halfway, and then he slowly used it in actual combat. And this is also the reason why Wang Yifan brought the "hooked snake" to the war. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Northland with an army of sailors, after all, it was no different from sending him to death.

However, despite these disparities, Gongsun Chan didn't know it, he only knew that the cavalry he valued was defeated, and it was so completely defeated. As someone from Wang Yifan's era said: "As long as you lose, everything you say is an excuse." ”

As a result, Gongsun Chan reluctantly stopped the battle, abandoned Yuan Shao, and stationed troops in Beiping to defend the Jiaozhou Army in an all-round way. On the other side, Shamoke, who attacked Han Fu around Youzhou, also annoyed Han Fu. Especially in early September, in the battle between the two armies, Shamoke crushed Zhang Jaw with overwhelming strength, which greatly frustrated Han Fu's confidence.

Since then, Liu, Han, and Gongsun have retreated, and Liu Bei alone is not enough to defeat Yuan Shao. On the contrary, if he insists on going his own way, he will be easily countered by Yuan Shao. Therefore, in mid-September, Liu Bei changed his strategy, sent Guan Yu to help Gongsun Zhan, sent Zhang Fei to Yecheng, and stayed in the plain by himself, waiting for the opportunity to move...

--------------------------------

On 14 September, Yuan Shao, who was no longer under pressure, began a counterattack, intending to cooperate with Shamoke to besiege Han Fu and occupy Yecheng.

At noon on this day, Tian Toyoda Yuanhao, as the ambassador of Yuan Jun, knocked on the gate of Shamoke's camp with two entourages...

"Weird... How could the camp of the Jiaozhou army be so barbaric..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate of the camp creaked open, and the "Xuanbee" general Shamo Kehu stepped out, stretched out his finger and said, "Hey, the one who rode the horse, you are the envoy of the Yuan army?" ”

Seeing Shamoke's animal skin dress, Tian Feng suddenly realized, "That's right, this Jiaozhou is the land of the Southern Barbarians, what's so strange about camping like this." He turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the reintent beside him, stepped forward and said: "In Shimoda Toyota Yuanhao, it is the envoy of the Yuan army, I don't know who the general is..."

"Old... Ahem, a certain Shamoko, come with me into the camp! Shamoke turned around after finishing his words, walked into the camp first, and shouted to the soldiers inside: "Damn, I haven't eaten, right, give Lao Tzu some strength!" After walking a few steps, he turned around suddenly, and saw that Tian Feng was still at the gate of the camp, and couldn't help urging: "That messenger! Don't make my military advisor wait for a long time! ”

Tian Fengzheng was shocked, and when he heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Ah... Yes, here it is... Here it comes..."

After a while, the two of them walked into the main camp one after another, and Shamoke arched his hand and said, "Military advisor, the envoy of the Yuan army has arrived." ”

"Hmm..."Jia Xu responded, got up and arched his hand to Tian Fengxu, "Zun Shi is far away, you might as well sit down and drink a cup of hot tea." ”

Tian Feng looked at him and said in his heart: This person is so rude, he doesn't even report his own name and surname? But who will make my lord ask for help? He shook his head and smiled, and saluted Jia Xu, "In Shimoda Toyota Yuanhao, thank you, sir!" "Anyway, I sat down leisurely without feeling the slightest embarrassment.

If this comparison is placed on others, it may be ashamed to confess oneself and make up for it. But for Jia Xu, it was ineffective. He smiled indifferently, beckoned Shamoke to sit down with him, and then drank tea by himself, as if there were no guests in the camp.

Half an hour later, Tian Feng looked at Jia Xu in surprise, "Sir, don't ask me what I'm here for?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "If the envoy wants to say, he will naturally say it, but if the envoy doesn't want to say, it's useless to ask." ”

Hearing this answer, Tian Feng was slightly stunned, and said honestly: "Don't hide it, sir, the day before yesterday, my lord was attacked by Gongsun Zhan of Youzhou, Han Fu of Yecheng, and Liu Bei of Pingyuan. Thanks to the envoy of the king of Jiaozhou, he sent troops to help, and he was relieved. Today, my lord heard that the Jiaozhou army was attacking Yecheng, so he came to help. Hehe, as long as..."

"Don't fight!" Shamoko interjected.

"Why is that?"

Shamoke glanced at Jia Xu and pouted, "A certain lord didn't let us fight Yecheng. ”

"It's... At this time, Han Fu's fighting spirit was lost, how could he not take advantage of the victory to pursue him? Tian Feng was stunned.

Shamoko couldn't tell why, he only knew what the lord said and what he did, and what the reason was. Therefore, as soon as you hear the other party's question, you can only ask Jia Xu for help.

Jia Xu said lightly: "My lord aided Jizhou, only because the people in this area were not affected by the war. Now that the war is peaceful, how can the war resume? ”

"Oh?" Tian Feng shook his head and smiled, it was okay to deceive the ignorant people, saying that he would look down on him too much, "Sir's words are also false!" Han, Liu, and Gongsun are still there, how can the war be peaceful? ”

Hearing this, Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and thought: Hmph... This Yuan Shao is really as the lord expected, inch by inch...

Reading it, he pretended to be stunned and said lightly: "What the envoy said is not unreasonable. However, our army is far away, and the long-term battle may lead to a shortage of food and grass, so we might as well wait for the first half of the month to wait for the state grain to arrive, and then make plans. ”

Oh? Started to put forward conditions?

Tian Feng secretly said that there was a play, and said loudly: "My lord is willing to give out a thousand stones of rice grain!" ”
