Hearing this, he sighed slightly and said: "Zhang Xiu's subordinates have calculated accurately, and now Gongsun Kang of Liaodong is being dragged by Goguryeo, and Wuhuan is also being dragged by Buyeo, and all the departments of the grassland are also being collected by Guo Huai. Basically, our army has no one to turn to for help, and we can only rely on ourselves in this battle. And the only advantage of our army is to occupy a geographical advantage. ”

After Cao Zhang pondered for a while, he said: "Before, my father sent someone to deliver the news, which was the situation of the battle between Zhang Xiu's naval army and the Jiangdong naval army. Akira thinks there are similarities between them. ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they understood what Cao Zhang meant, and the current situation was just the opposite of Zhang Xiu's expedition to Jiangdong. In last year's war, the Jiangdong Navy was strong and Zhang Xiu's Army was weak, but Zhang Xiu's Navy fought with the Jiangdong Navy to defeat both sides, and then won a fighter for the infantry army, and then won the victory in one fell swoop. Now the cavalry of the Cao army and the cavalry of Zhang Xiu are just opposite, but Zhang Xiu is strong and Cao Jun is weak.

Hearing this, he shook his head and said: "Zhang Xiu's naval army can fight with the Jiangdong naval army to lose both, mainly because of the problem on the battleship. And the 6 battles are not the same as water battles, and now Zhao Yun is leading 100,000 elite cavalry to attack, and we can only compete with Zhao Yun's iron cavalry in terms of combat power with 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry. The rest of the Youyan Iron Cavalry was not superior in numbers, and their strength in battle was not as good as Zhao Yun's elite cavalry. ”

Xia Houdun heard it, slapped the desk, and said in a condensed voice: "No matter!" Let's fight! The number of our cavalry is similar to that of Zhao Yun's cavalry, and the general does not believe that 100,000 iron cavalry cannot fight more than half of him, and no matter how strong the enemy army is, it is also a person! ”

Cao Zhang heard it and said loudly: "Uncle Yuan Rang is right!" Manifest wish for the front! ”

Xiahoudun heard it and praised: "It is worthy of being the son of the eldest brother, good!" ”

At this time, he said in a condensed voice: "General, now that there is no foreign aid, I think I shouldn't fight anymore!" ”

When Xiahoudun heard this, his face immediately flashed with anger, and he shouted: "What does Gong and this mean? "Looking at the look on his face, I am afraid that if I am frustrated and give a bad answer, I will kill him.

Fu Zhi took a deep breath, then looked at Xiahoudun without fear, and said, "General, now the cavalry under the Prime Minister is all here. How strong the cavalry under Zhao Yun is, we have no bottom at all. Just like at the beginning, Liu Bei persuaded the prime minister to send troops to deal with Zhang Xiu, and at that time, the Nine Route Army attacked Zhang Xiu, I am afraid that no one in the world was optimistic about Zhang Xiu at that time. Unfortunately, on the contrary, our army was defeated, and if there was no Zhongda plan to break the Yellow River, I am afraid that our army would have been completely defeated at that time. This time is the same, first out of the Great Wall, the road is far away, the last expedition to Wuhuan, the prime minister has to make a detour endlessly, and then through the waterway to transport grain. This time, the prime minister asked us to go out to the Great Wall to deal with Zhao Yun, mainly because of Wuhuan and Liaodong Gongsun Kang as foreign aid, so that we could have a chance to eat Zhao Yun's cavalry. Now with the strength of our army, there is no chance of victory at all, in this case, why not retreat and defend it within the Great Wall. If Zhao Yun wants to seize Liaodong, he must get Beiping County, in this case, I will garrison troops in Lulongsai, don't say that he has 100,000 cavalry, even if there are more than half, he can't attack it! ”

The more Xiahou listened to it, the anger on his face gradually subsided, and he muttered in a deep voice: "Lu Longsai ......"

The entire Lulongsai is located in the right Beiping County, which can be said to be the forefront of the defense of the Northeast. This is also the reason why Lu Su made a plan to take the right Beiping County.

Before Xiahoudun finished speaking, Cao Zhang had already spoken: "According to Lu Longsai, doesn't it mean that the places outside Lu Longsai in Youbeiping County, as well as the entire four counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, Lelang, and Xuansu, will be abandoned?" ”

Hearing this, he nodded with difficulty and said, "For the sake of Youzhou and Hebei, it can only be like this." ”

Cao Zhang heard it, but he turned back to Xiahoudun and said, "Uncle Yuan can't ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, Xiahoudun waved his hand and said, "Gonghe is right. As soon as our army comes out, the strength of the army will be greatly reduced, and I am afraid that Lu Longsai will not be able to hold it. Fighting outside the Great Wall is too risky to fight. Ben will ask the prime minister for an order to redeploy his infantry to strengthen Lu Longsei's defenses and not teach the enemy to break through. As long as Lu Longsai can hold it, the entire eastern part of Youzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai, and our army can concentrate on dealing with the enemy troops coming from Bingzhou. ”

Cao Zhang heard it and said hurriedly: "Uncle Yuanrang! ”

Xiahoudun waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, the general has already been decided, no need to say more!" Then he said to Cao Zhen, the young general on the side: "Zidan, you go to Lulongsai to guard the palace, no matter what the situation, you can't go out of the fortress!" Defend Luronse, and you will do a great job. ”

Cao Zhen heard this, and arched his hand and responded: "No! ”

……

Liucheng, Liaoxi County, was originally the nest of Wuhuan Dun Shan Yu, since Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan and broke Wuhuan in front of Liucheng, it has not been as prosperous as before. At this time, it was summer, and it was not cold in western Liaoning, and Liucheng had become a place where Zhao Yun's army was stationed.

Liucheng County Ya, Zhao Yun recruited everyone. After Zhao Yun politely said a few words on the throne, he said: "According to the report of the spies, all the Cao troops in Youzhou retreated within Lu Longsai and sent a large army to guard the Great Wall. ”

Lu Su heard this, glanced at Pang Tong, and smiled bitterly at the same time. Zhang Quan frowned lightly and said, "So it seems that Cao Jun is planning to defend Lu Longsai to the death?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case." ”

At this time, Lu Su suddenly stood up and arched his hand to Zhao Yun: "General, it was all Su who was misplanned, and he counted all the people available to Cao Jun, which caused Cao Jun to be afraid. ”

Zhao Yun heard this, waved his hand and said: "It's not to blame Zijing for this matter, Cao Jun's coach Xiahoudun has a strong personality. Even the general thought that when he saw that all the counties outside the Great Wall were lost, he should send troops out to meet them. Unexpectedly, he was so able to endure it this time, but he was afraid that someone behind him would mention it. ”

At this time, Sun Ce said: "In fact, if Cao Jun does not come out, it may not be a good thing for our army. At least in Liaoxi and Liaodong, our army has no opponents. You can take this opportunity to pacify this place, and then join the Xingba army, so that Your Majesty's plan will be successful. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said with a wry smile: "Since the Cao army is not out, our army can't run in vain, prepare a strategy, and deal with Buyeo and Goguryeo instead." ”

Everyone listened and nodded at the same time. Lu Su said: "Now the situation is not complicated, Buyeo and Wuhuan are fighting in the northwest, and Wuhuan is pressed and beaten by Buyeo. Here, we only need to let the coalition forces of the various departments of the grassland under the leadership of Berji and Buyeo fight, and our army can reap the results of the battle. As for Gongsun Kang, who was now fighting the Goguryeo army in Xi'an Ping (now Dandong), our army could take this opportunity to take Liaodong directly. ”

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "On the side of Fuyu, according to what Zijing said, let Boji lead the troops to deal with them." However, the winter in the northeast is extremely cold, and our army must settle the battle within three months. Therefore, our army can send another group of men and horses to enter the Buyeo country and break its national capital. As for the side of Goguryeo, if he took advantage of the battle between Gongsun Kang and Goguryeo to attack him, the means would be too much, and Yun personally led a large army and smashed the pill capital. first broke Goguryeo and then set Liaodong, so that it would not be realized. ”

Now the advantage is completely on Zhang Xiu's side, although Zhao Yun's plan is a little troublesome, it has no impact on the overall situation. After the plan was decided, he led 30,000 Qiang Hu iron cavalry to the north to invade Buyeo, and Zhao Yun led 50,000 thundercloud cavalry to attack Marudu, the capital of Goguryeo. Leaving Sun Ce with 20,000 flying feather bows to ride in Liucheng, after Zhao Yun broke the pill capital, he immediately sent troops to attack Liaodong.

At this time, Gan Ning also led 20,000 soldiers to set sail, marching towards the Korean Peninsula along the coastal road, and waving his army directly at Sanhan!

……

Cao's avoidance of the war made a large-scale cavalry battle that would have taken place in the north disappear, and Zhao Yun changed his strategy. But on the southern side, the war has already begun.

Let's say that Guan Yu led 200,000 troops to leave Xuchang, but Guan Yu's 200,000 troops did not attack Nanyang, but turned south to attack Jiangxia. Zhang Liao also expected this situation, so Zhang Liao asked Xu Huang to send troops to attack Xuchang, and he and Lü Meng led the army to Pingchun City (now Xinyang) on the border with Yuzhou in the north of Jiangxia County to garrison it, in case Guan Yu's army continued to move south.

Let's say that Zhang Liao's army was stationed in Pingchun, and suddenly one day, a soldier reported to Zhang Liaoyu: "Report to the general, Cao's army has arrived at the city and has gone down to the village!" ”

Zhang Liao heard this, and hurriedly asked, "But Guan Yu is here?" ”

The soldier replied: "I didn't see Guan Yu's banner, I saw a big banner at the camp opposite." ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Zhang? Is there a general surnamed Zhang in Cao Ying? Thinking of this, Zhang Liao led a few guards to look at the head of the city, and at the same time sent someone to inform Zhou Yu to go to the city to watch the battle together.

When Zhang Liao arrived at the head of the city, the deputy general Lü Meng was already on guard with Wen Ping and Chen Wu in the city. After Zhang Liao landed in the city, he immediately asked Lu Meng: "Ziming, how is the enemy army?" Who is the leader of the troops? ”

When Lu Meng saw it, he replied: "The person who came is the front of Cao's army, and the number is about 50,000. However, I don't know who the enemy general is, the most famous general surnamed Zhang in the Cao army, is none other than Zhang He, but Zhang He died early, but Meng doesn't know who the enemy's main general is. ”

Just when Zhang Liao hesitated, a clear voice came from behind and said: "Since you don't know, just send someone to fight." Everyone looked back and saw that it was Zhou Yu.

Zhang Liao heard it, nodded and said, "What Gong Jin said is reasonable. He turned back to Chen Wu and said, "Zilie, you will lead the people of the headquarters to go down to the city to fight." ”

Chen Wu heard this, sharpened his fists, and replied loudly: "No! After speaking, he picked up the big sword, ordered the 10,000 soldiers of the headquarters, and asked people to open the city gate and go out.

Before Chen Wu led the army to the Cao camp, he shouted with a knife: "Lujiang Chen Wu is here, can the enemy general dare to go out of the camp to fight?" ”

Chen Wu only drank for a while, and then saw the gate of the opposite camp wide open, and a group of men and horses lined up. After looking at Chen Wu, he shouted angrily with a knife: "The enemy general Hugh is going to be rampant, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro is here to fight you!" With that, Pegasus rushed over.

When Chen Wu saw it, he was not afraid and rode his horse to meet him. This Montenegrin Zhang Yan, but one of the few fierce generals in the Yellow Turban, after the Battle of Guandu, Zhang Yan led all the Montenegrin men and horses to surrender to Cao Cao. It's just that after Zhang Yan surrendered, he has not been very important, which is also related to General Cao Ying.

However, since Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu fought a battle, General Cao Ying has died a lot, and Zhang Yan has also begun to be taken seriously, but Zhang Yan is also more than fifty years old at this time.

Although Zhang Yan is already quite old, after all, he is a former Yellow Turban general, and he will not fall behind in fighting with Chen Wu. I saw that the two fought for about ten rounds, and Zhang Yan slammed Chen Wumian with a knife. When Chen Wu saw it, how could he be afraid, raised his knife, and then "brushed" it, and swept it towards Zhang Yan's chest and abdomen with a knife.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately raised his knife to resist. only heard a loud sound of "dang", Zhang Yan blocked Chen Wu's knife, but his strength was not as good as Chen Wu, and he even took more than three steps back with his horse and horse.

After fighting for so long, Zhang Yan was actually quite surprised in his heart, this Chen Wu on the other side was more than seven feet long. Don't talk about southerners, even among northerners, they are considered burly. And this Chen Wu has a lot of strength, compared to when he was in his prime, he still has more than that.

Knowing that his strength was inferior to that of the other party, Zhang Yan was much more cautious when he attacked again. The big knife kept attacking Chen Wu's vital point, and Zhang Yan was quite old and spicy due to his age. Although Chen Wu was brave, he did not dare to be careless in the face of Zhang Yan's old and spicy methods, and in addition to attacking with seven points of strength, he also had three points of strength to defend.

The two fought on the horse for more than 20 rounds, and after fighting for such a long time, Zhang Yan began to gasp, obviously old and out of strength.

Seeing this, Chen Wu stepped up his attack, and saw the opportunity to slash horizontally between Zhang Yan's neck. Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately swung his knife to block the block, and the sound of gold and iron resonating broke out again under the collision of the two knives, and Chen Wu obviously felt that Zhang Yan was panting more urgently. Chen Wu no longer hesitated, instead holding the knife in both hands, and saw the opportunity to slash at Zhang Yan head-on!

At this moment, Chen Wu's eyes caught a glimpse of the corner of Zhang Yan's mouth, Chen Wu's heart sank, and he said secretly: "It's not good!" ”

The next moment, I saw Zhang Yan suddenly raise his left hand, and at the same time, a strong wind hit the door in front of him. Chen Wu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately tilted his head to the side.

"Puff puff ......"

A few soft sounds came, and Chen Wu avoided the key point of the face, but there was a pain in the right shoulder, and at the same time, a feeling of paralysis came. However, at this time, Chen Wu couldn't care about these things, because Zhang Yan's knife was about to be chopped.

After all, Chen Wu is a person who has seen wind and waves, and although Zhang Yan's knife is powerful, it is far less threatening than Fang Cai. Resist the sharp pain in his shoulder, raise his knife and face it fiercely!

"When !!"

With a strong sound of gold and iron, Chen Wulian led the horse back half a step, but Zhang Yan on the opposite side retreated more than five steps. But it was Chen Wu who shot angrily, and Zhang Yan didn't have the strength to retreat more.

Just when Zhang Yan wanted to continue to rush up, he saw that the soldiers in Chen Wu's array had already rushed up, Zhang Yan didn't dare to fight again, and immediately fought back to the battle. After that, he raised his sword and shouted: "All soldiers, kill!" ”

The Cao army rushed out, and Zhang Xiu's soldiers rescued Chen Wu before the Cao army could kill him. When Chen Wu's personal guards rescued Chen Wu, Chen Wu had already fainted, with several arrows stuck in his shoulders, and at the same time, black blood could not help oozing from the wound.
