72. Viva Charge
Cao Cao led the troops out of the sea of fire and did not panic Yuan Shao, although this black-skinned dwarf rushed out of the gate in a daze, and it was indeed a bit unexpected for Yuan Shao to crash into the place where his generals gathered, but since it was the thickest place in the military formation, there was really no need to panic too much because of Cao Cao's appearance, and the soldiers and horses owned by the other party were only thousands.
What really shocked Yuan Shao was the actions of Li Shushi and the Bingzhou army.
They actually came here?!
Speaking of which, in Yuan Fang's plan for Yuan Shao, he did not completely take into account the force that had to be considered as a headache but had to be considered - why the headache? Because this force is self-contained, not only does it have troops that make Yuan Shaojun feel extremely difficult from top to bottom, but also from the summarized intelligence, the Bingzhou Army is undergoing subtle changes in both ideology and political system.
Because of this, the army of the state can promote all kinds of unheard of and unseen crops in the territory under its jurisdiction, and can also promote more advanced production methods in the territory under its jurisdiction, and also promote the circulation of goods through more rational management of merchants, and at the same time make the land under its jurisdiction more prosperous.
This was also an important reason why Yuan Shao was eager to annex Cao Cao's army, because if it weren't for the Hu people in the north and the sudden enemy in Guanzhong who dragged down the pace of the Bingzhou army, Yuan Shao believed that he only needed to give them another three or five years, and the gap between them and the Bingzhou army would be further widened, and the control of the land under his jurisdiction would be further strengthened. In another twenty years, no, maybe it will only take ten years, and even if the state army joins forces with one enemy and two against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, it will not be a problem at all.
During this period, they may still have surplus strength to go south to Yizhou, thus becoming a more powerful force than the former Qin State.
Time, Yuan Shao needs to race against time. Because no matter how you look at time, it is his worst enemy.
Therefore, once the huge variable of the state army participates in this large-scale plan, and even becomes an obstacle to Yuan Shao's strategy, the success rate of this strategy will decline as an inevitable result, and even if it is directly declared defeated, it is very likely that it will fail.
That's why Yuan Shao will send a small force to attack Ao Cang - such a number of troops can be compared to the battle of Xiahoudun and Yu Forbidden Division, who are guarding the vicinity, is already the limit, but in a short period of time, this army that pretends to be a suspicious soldier can still make Xiahoudun and Yu Ban unable to discover the secret, and at the same time, it also indirectly confuses the Bingzhou army.
Even if the Bingzhou army can really draw out its forces and devote itself to the battle of Guandu. Out of the importance of their own materials, they will also give priority to investing their troops in the front line of Aocang, and by the time they react, Yuan Shao should have been able to hold a memorial service for his former good friend and revolutionary partner Cao Cao Mengde in Wuchao.
But who would have thought that this was still the group of fly-like bastards of the state army.
The only thing I don't know is maybe how many people Li Shushi brought with him this time - although according to common sense, Yuan Shao's intelligence system is also very powerful, so if Li Shushi's troops really have a large-scale mobilization. Even if he can't know it at the first time, but all kinds of means can be known, after all, from Guanzhong to Guandu, it is also a long journey, with the speed of the army, even if Yuan Shao does not have those unscientific birds in Li Shushi's hands, the speed of transmitting news will definitely be faster, if the enemy army is playing day and night or something. That's faster.
However, Yuan Shao did not receive such information, and even the Sizhou Corps of Koyi, who had been lying on his stomach in Hanoi, did not have any large-scale transfers. Then the other side's troops must not be much.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was finally able to calm down a little, although even if he knew that the opponent's troops were not much, he could not be negligent, he must know that the last battle and the battle of Pengcheng have proved that do not underestimate the destructive power brought by a small group of elite soldiers.
Well. It seems that Cao Cao, who is fighting as a trapped beast, also made such a background board, and was beaten by the fledgling Sun Ce.
As for Yuan Shaoma...... Aha, anyway, the dignified Yuan Benchu is not something anyone can underestimate at will.
Because of Yuan Shao's composure and calmness, the subordinates who had also heard a name that made their scalps tingle gradually calmed down, although they didn't know what Yuan Shao was thinking. But as soon as he saw that calm and calm face, as well as the orderly action of assigning tasks, the morale that was originally a little low immediately rose a lot.
Thinking about it, even the prince Cao Mengde, who could once stand side by side with their lord, is now trapped in the sea of fire to be the last trapped beast to fight, so Li Shushi, who is also a prince, is actually not as terrifying as he imagined, and seeing that the lord is so calm, he should have already thought of various countermeasures like dealing with Cao Cao, so for those of them who are subordinates, the only thing to do is to work hard, strive to make new contributions, and be a qualified minister of the dragon.
Yuan Shao's conjecture about the Bingzhou army is not too problematic, in fact, Li Shushi did not bring many soldiers and horses this time - after all, even if he and the puppet army temporarily fell into a new round of stalemate, and once again achieved a delicate balance, this does not mean that Li Shushi can draw a large number of soldiers and horses from Guanzhong to support the battle situation in the Central Plains.
It's just a delicate balance, not a huge advantage.
Therefore, Li Shushi infiltrated the Henan region this time with a full number of soldiers and horses, and it is only 7,000 people, although this number is not the limit that Li Shushi can draw soldiers and horses, after taking into account the concealment and speed of the troops' actions, this number should still be more appropriate, not to mention that if there is a real need, the Sizhou Legion of Koji Yi has basically recovered after a few months of rest, even if Koji Yi is still not fully recovered for the time being, but whether it is Guan Hai, Or Ma Teng has both experience in commanding large corps operations, and also has experience in commanding small units in interspersed operations, and even if it is only the transfer of small-scale troops, Wang Ling and Yang Fu, who joined the army and stayed in the Sizhou Corps, can also be qualified for the role of commanders.
However, although there are not many soldiers with him, the generals around him can be called star-studded - such as Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang, the two guys who have made meritorious contributions, it is estimated that even if they don't bring the two of them, they will definitely be mixed with Li Shushi's side, especially the former, even if he finds an opportunity to knock Li Shushi's personal guards unconscious, and then put on makeup and impersonate himself, as long as it is something related to the battle, please don't look down on Xiaoqiang's discipline, his dedication in this area can be regarded as breaking through the sky.
It's because it can probably be regarded as a black person who is close to ink. Zilong sauce, which was originally a good baby, was also spoiled by Xiaoqiang.
And the members of the personal guard such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, and the Ma brothers can be said to be bound to be one of the participants in the battle, and the rest such as Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Cao Chun, Hua Xiong, Guan Yu, Zhang Jaw, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Tai Shici, and Gan Ning are naturally impossible to be missing, and young people such as Wei Yan, Lu Meng, Hao Zhao, and Guo Huai are also qualified to participate in this battle.
And the most noteworthy of this is the veteran general Gongsun Zhan, who strongly asked to follow Li Shushi to fight.
I don't know where he learned the news that Li Shushi was going to trouble Yuan Shao, the old general who was brought to Guanzhong by Huang Zhong from the Jizhou battlefield immediately put down all the affairs in his hand and ran to Li Shushi, saying that he would also participate in the battle against Yuan Shaojun. Even if he is not allowed to be a general, it doesn't hurt to join the army and guard Li Shushi as a side.
Obviously, the hatred between this man and Yuan Shao is simply higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and bluer than a man's heart. And the old man group formed by him and Huang Zhong is either cute or vicious, which always reminds Li Shushi of those old men and grandmothers who specialize in the porcelain industry, saying that if he doesn't bring them, Li Shushi is very worried about whether he will be ruined.
As a result, at this moment, most of the backbone personnel of the Eastern Route Army besieging the puppet regiment were withdrawn. Let the frustrated person who was appointed by Li Shushi as the commander of the left-behind army, I don't know whether to show a grateful expression or a distressed expression because of the mess in his hand.
Anyway, Li Shushi didn't plan to care about his frustration, and naturally he didn't plan to care about Fa Zheng's somewhat regretful expression because he was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief-this can be regarded as Li Shushi's temptation of Fa Zheng, to see what kind of Cheng DΓΉ has come to this character who will be revenged, and whether he is really the kind of person who is rampant when he has ambition and ignores the overall situation.
Anyway, Wang Ze was secretly observing from the side, if the law was really too much, it could be stopped in time.
Although from the point of view of personal feelings. Li Shushi felt that these spare means should probably not be used this time.
Well, the reason why I still have these things in my head that has nothing to do with the current battlefield at all. It's not that Li Shushi deliberately wants to slip away, but because he still needs to wait a little longer, for his head, which was still buzzing until now, to return to normal.
Although the eardrum has been protected in various ways just now, it has been proved that these protections can also prevent Li Shushi's ears from being deaf, which can be called a strategic magic sound ear filling, and it is also a powerful enhanced version with magic special effects, which is really not something ordinary humans can endure. Not even to mention a fragile and delicate lord like Li Shushi, even Xiaoqiang, who has rough skin and thick flesh, also looks like he has temporarily lost his combat effectiveness, his eyes are blurred and completely out of focus.
Only the owner of the voice, a certain white-skinned, because of a circle of beard, can no longer see the "charming" accident maker of the past, so he looks left as if no one is fine. Look right, look up, look down, Zhang Sanye, who doesn't know what he has done, can be safe and sound in this self-inflicted death.
"I have long heard that there is a fierce general beside Uncle Huang, and today I know that what the rumors say may still be insufficient."
Li Shushi has already "sacrificed heroically", you can imagine what kind of state the more "weak" emperor His Majesty will be at this time, it can be said that if he didn't firmly grasp the reins and lie on the back of the war horse, Liu Xie felt that even if he fell off the horse directly, there was no problem, or he probably encountered such a strange thing for the first time, and he was so talented that this kind of Cheng dΓΉ was also drunk.
As for Cao Ren on the other side, he shrugged his shoulders at Li Dian who was full of displeasure - this action was naturally learned from Li Shushi, and Li Dian could only give the other party a crying and laughing expression, and by the way, he took out the things stuffed in his ears. However, Li Dian finally knew how important this thing was worth five copper plates, and it was "gifted" by the friendship of the people of Bingzhou, although it really made him feel quite unhappy to be hacked, but now it seems that it is indeed worth the money.
It's just that this unpleasant feeling is still so strong, how can it be broken!
"Hehe, since the greeting has been called, it should also be the time for the 'Friends of Justice' to appear. Majesty, look at you~"
ββ¦β¦ Can I really do that, that kind of thing. β
"In terms of age, His Majesty is now an adult. In terms of ability, I was just a child in the countryside at the beginning, and no matter how I look at it, I can't compare to you, who have been practicing bow horses all these years. If you are worried about your safety. Is that what we can say that His Majesty doesn't believe in us people? Tut-tut~ This is not good, Majesty, you have to believe in our big guys, just like we believe in you. Use the sword in your hand to cut off the rebel thief on the other side who is trying to get his hands on the artifact...... How? β
"Well, I believe in you, just as I believe in you. Then, with the command of the Son of Heaven, I order everyone to take the place of Heaven and punish the rebels who are ahead. And me. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty will be with you! β
I don't know if it's an illusion, as soon as the words fell, the generals under the "leadership" of Liu Xie felt that they seemed to have received blessings from the underworld, which undoubtedly greatly strengthened the morale that was not low again.
Roaring, roaring, and with a fanatical expression, this force, which could only be regarded as a patchwork, charged towards Yuan Shaojun.
"I'm telling the truth. You're not playing with fire. β
Seeing the soldiers who were fanatically following Liu Xie's charge, Xiao Qiang rarely did not rush to the first row. Instead, he took a few steps behind and came to Li Shushi's side, squeezed Chen Dao's shoes, which were supposed to be in this position, and harvested a pair of sanitary balls that were quite unhappy with a young beautiful girl, of course, because it seemed that Xiaoqiang at this time was rarely in the comic mode, nor was he in the battlefield fanaticism mode, so Chen Dao didn't say anything even if he was really dissatisfied. Silently follow behind the yellow claw and eat ashes.
"Why does Bongxian think so?"
"Because at that moment, I saw a feeling of 'confidence' in his eyes, which is quite a dangerous feeling, especially for you, but also for those of us who have fought with you until now."
"So Feng Xian, do you know what Jia Xu's previous evaluation of this kind of love was?"
"What did the old fox say?"
"If you believe in yourself what you are capable of doing. and put in the effort and effort to achieve it, only to find that the enemy's terrible Cheng dΓΉ is far beyond your imagination, what kind of mentality do you think you will have? β
"Terrible Cheng dΓΉ far more than I imagined? Then keep exercising until I die on the challenge. β
"So you are Lu Fengxian, but he is a noble emperor."
"But he can choose to forbear, and he doesn't have to rush to the front line or anything, he can choose to wait for others to defeat the strong enemy and then come to grab the fruit."
"Hehe, you've made great progress. But since even you know this, do you think he can get past it? Even if the enemy is extremely strong, and it takes a huge price to defeat that kind of enemy, if you win, what kind of terrible monster will the survivors become? What kind of support will I get? β
ββ¦β¦ The most important thing is who can bear others to snatch the fruits of their own victories so easily. β
"Dong Zhongying made our majesty understand the importance of strength, and we made him understand that if he wants to change the current situation, he can only rely on his own hands, instead of pinning his hopes on others, and being with Cao Mengde made him realize that he may be able to break out of the world with his own hands. If he can really rely on his own ability, even with a little support from external forces to get to the end, not to mention eating the entire fruit of victory, even if he gets a part, his bloodline, and his efforts can allow him to reap the best result. But what if he falls halfway through because of a fiasco? β
"But I still feel unwilling."
"That's natural, but he, who has mobilized a qiΔ strength to accomplish his goal, really has nothing left after failure? Is it his own fame, or his loyal subordinates, or his old and spicy eyes...... What do you think there will be, Bongxian. β
"It's a huge gamble."
"Yes, a gamble with the world as a bargaining chip. But regardless of the outcome, it's not bad for me personally β I won, and it goes without saying. Even if I lose, the seeds of change have already been planted......"
"It's not good, none of us want you to lose, if you have the idea of losing from the beginning, trust me to beat you!"
"Hmph~ Yuzi-chan is on the side, you still dare to shout at me, I will definitely write this passage down in a small notebook."
ββ¦β¦ Even so, I'm going to beat you up! β
"Ahem, no kidding, no kidding. Even though I said the above, I'm just a hypocrite. β
"Even hypocrites are much better than those who are causing trouble in the world, at least if I had lived in the current state since I was a child, maybe ...... I'm going to take a very different path than I have now. β
"No, no, no, Xiaoqiang can only be Xiaoqiang, even if he mutates and evolves alive in any environment, he will only become Xiaoqiang. Change, or Xiaoqiang MKII. or something. β
"No matter, I have to beat you up to relieve the !!anger in my chest."
Of course, Xiaoqiang was taught to be a man by Su Xiaololi who didn't know when he appeared by his side.
Merely......
Looking at Xiao Qiang, who was repaired by Su Xiaololi, Li Shushi felt an unspeakable feeling in his chest - as he said just now, he was indeed just a hypocrite, dressed in a veneer of lies, but he was walking the path of a conspirator, but he had been resisting the fact that he had already known, that had been doomed since the beginning of the first qiΔ.
Therefore, even if he says that he is playing a gamble, if it is actually a gamble that has already known the outcome, then he may be the only one who knows the outcome. (To be continued......)
