Chapter 22: Guandu! Guandu! - Undercurrents before the storm
In the first month of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), the edict was leaked, and Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and others were killed.
In February, Yuan Shao sent troops to Liyang under the pretext of an edict and sent Yan Liang to attack Baima. And let Chen Lin write an article - that is, the famous "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao", this article was written with great incitement, pushing Cao Cao to the focus of public opinion, and many onlookers in Jingxiang area who did not know the truth saw this article and strongly condemned Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao very unhappy.
In March, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to guard Guangling to guard against Sun Ce, and Zhang Xiu to guard against Liu Biao in Wancheng, and ordered Mo Wen to take half of the soldiers of Xuzhou and most of the grain in stock to Guandu, and the rest of the soldiers to stay with Xiahou Yuan.
"Man Cheng, you lead two thousand sergeants to go first, and I will take the remaining five thousand people to protect the grain and grass and set off on the same day." Mo asked the arrangement.
"Yes!"
In late March, Mo Wen led 7,000 soldiers to join Cao Cao's division.
"Boss, do you think we can win? The Yuan army over there has more than twice as many people as us. Zhang Meng asked Mo to ask.
"I don't think so...... However, the lord is far-sighted and has his own clever plan to defeat the enemy, so don't ask nonsense. ”
"Hey...... I'm also anxious, Alain just gave birth to a big fat boy for me, and I haven't hugged it a few times. Zhang Meng grinned: "And Alan promised me that he would help me ask for a concubine when I go back alive this time."
"Are you really not afraid of death? Tell you that this kind of thing is not enough. "Death flag, this guy has not inserted it once or twice, but there is nothing wrong with it, Mo Wen said it was very strange.
"Don't worry, boss, I'm old and big." Zhang Meng patted his chest and said confidently.
"Hmph...... Tomorrow all the cavalry will leave for the white horse, be careful not to die. ”
April, White Horse.
"It's Cao Cao's suspicious plan, why didn't Yuan Shao listen?" A traveler from the Yuan army grumbled to his companion.
"Yuan Shao still can't trust our Lord Sky...... Forget it, Guan Yu is here, without the raid of the peerless generals, it is not easy for Cao Jun to win against us. His companion persuaded.
"Let's hope...... The key is still the black nest, Lord Sky has arranged a secret weapon, and we can't lose. ”
"Of course...... The smoke! Cao Jun is coming, the gun array is ready! ”
……
"Meng De is clever, Yuan Shao really hit the plan." Xiahoudun galloped with a knife and galloped on his horse: "I will take the first credit Xiahoudun here." ”
“…… General Xiahou, Yuan Jun has discovered us. Mo Wen pointed to the gun array in front of him and said.
"It's simple, divide the troops left and right, I am on the right and you are on the left."
"Yes!"
The galloping cavalry split into two streams like a stream of water, bypassing the guns and then penetrating from the flanks, and the soldiers on both sides were cut down like weeds...... Yuan Jun was in a mess.
"Who is coming? Do you dare to fight me? Just when Mo Wen was killing well, a general rode a black horse and rushed over after picking down several cavalrymen one after another.
“…… I'm looking for you, Yan Liang! Mo Wen slashed with his sword.
"Junior, you're not my opponent." Yan Liang and Mo Wen fought a few times, and then suppressed him.
"Naturally, there are other people who are your opponents." The long sword rested on the barrel of the gun, and Mo asked back.
"What?" Yan Liang was shocked, felt a strong wind coming from the back of his head, hurriedly lowered his head, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left arm, but he was cut by Xiahoudun with a knife on his left arm.
"Your general Yan Liang is dead! Surrender or kill! Mo Wen raised Yan Liang's head and shouted.
"Lost...... Damn it. A traveler looked at Mo Wen, who was showing off his might on the horse, and gritted his teeth: "Is that guy's combat power at the same level as Guan Yu?" ”
"Let's go, this distance is dangerous, we haven't lost yet." Another traveler dragged him away......
That night, according to Cao Cao's instructions, Mo Wen and others began to migrate the people of Baima. With Cao Cao personally commanding, the efficiency is naturally very high, within a day, the white horse became clean, just when Cao Cao was about to retreat, the sentry came to report, and a large army approached......
"General Wen Chou, please be careful, the pursuit is so urgent, I am afraid that I will fall into the trap of Cao thieves."
"Xuande Gong, don't you hear that 'soldiers are fast and fast'? Cao thief harmed my brother, and his hatred is not shared, and I will take his head! "Wen Chou retorted": Hey, look ahead, the footsteps are scattered, and the heavy grain and grass are scattered on the side of the road, it must be because of my speed, and the thief is not in a hurry to carry it. Then he ignored Liu Bei and shouted: "Little ones, get half of the grain and grass and half of the baggage and keep it for yourself." ”
"The general is wise!" The sergeant shouted, and then rushed to grab the food, grass, clothing, and armor.
"This ......" Liu Bei looked at the scattered sergeant and didn't know what to say. Guan Yu on the side whispered to Liu Bei: "This person has no plan and is seeking his own death, why should the eldest brother persuade him again." Then he ordered his soldiers not to compete for heavy grain and grass, and to be ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Not far away, in the grass.
"Liu Bei is really a great person, and he is not chaotic when he sees wealth." Cao Cao exclaimed: "Now it's useless to wait, take advantage of the chaos of its army, I'll wait for the horse to attack it!" ”
"Yes!" There was a low cry in the grass.
"With these, you can marry Xiaofang from the next village when you go back!" A soldier of the Yuan army happily picked up several iron tools, but felt a sharp pain in his vest, and looked down to find an arrow through his chest......
"The Lord Divine Shot." Xu Huang exclaimed on the horse.
"Nature." Cao Cao looked very proud, and then drew his sword: "Disperse the enemy army!" ”
"Scatter the enemy!" More than 1,000 cavalrymen chanted together.
Although there were many people in the Yuan army, the formation was scattered and defenseless, and Wen Chou's hasty command had no effect at all, but Liu Bei saw that the situation was not good, so he ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to retreat with the sergeants of the headquarters - now the Yuan army rushed up in chaos, but he just put himself on it in vain, and Liu Bei would not make a loss-making deal.
"Rats! Only dare to play such tricks, and come out to fight me! Wen Chou's eyes were red, and he waved the big axe wildly.
"I'll meet you!" Xu Huang also held an axe to meet ......
In the evening, Yuan's army was defeated, and there were only more than 1,000 remaining in the 5,000 cavalry army, of which 300 were Liu Bei's subordinates......
Yuan Shao was furious when he heard that his love was about to die on the white horse, and he was naturally very disgusted with Liu Bei, who had retreated, and asked him why no one was damaged.
"General Yan Liang was killed by General Cao's raid, and I am also guilty; Wen Chou died tragically with you, why are you unharmed? Yuan Shao glared at Liu Bei: "If there is no reason, I can cure you of the crime of escaping."
"Yuan Gong is angry." Liu Bei did not panic in the slightest: "Cao thief threw his baggage on the road, made a plan to lure the enemy, prepared for persuasion, and the Cao army took advantage of the time when our army looted the property to raid, and the reserve army was few, unable to return to the sky, I hope Yuan Gong will understand." He bowed deeply.
"General Wen Chou's temperament is impatient, and because of the death of General Yan Liang, the anger in his chest has nowhere to vent, and he insists on going his own way, resulting in a great defeat of our army, which is very likely." Guo Tu twisted his beard: "Liu Yuanjun is not a big mistake, please forgive the lord." ”
“…… Yan Liangwen is ugly and demoralizes me. Yuan Shao sighed.
"Don't worry, the lord is now far above Cao Mengde and the other military horses, the lord is an upright teacher, and the Cao army will naturally retreat." Frustration encouraged Yuan Shao: "The lord can also retreat to the four states and recuperate, two years later, how can Cao Mengde's two and a half states be the enemy of the power of the four states of the lord?" ”
"Now that the sergeant is newly defeated, you call the withdrawal of the army?" Yuan Shao frowned: "Doesn't this make me laugh at the world?" No, never. ”
"In this case, the lord can take every step and approach Xuchang." Frustrated with a sigh. [If the lord uses my strategy, Cao Mengde will definitely lose...... My lord, how anxious you are. 】
"That's it." Yuan Shao made a decision.
======================================================
Just when Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, something big happened in Jiangdong.
In April of the fifth year of Jian'an, when the Cao army attacked Yanliang, he was hunting in the suburbs of Wu County, although the travelers tried their best to chase and protect, but he was still thrown away by a large distance...... Then Sun Ce's retribution came.
Since Sun Ce is called the little overlord, he naturally has a strong personality and kills people in a fit of anger, and Wu Jun Taishou Xu Gong died under this temper. Xu Gong had many customers before his death, most of them were white-eyed wolves who were not well raised, but there were still a few consciences who wanted to avenge the Lord. These guys stared at Sun Ce every day, and finally found an opportunity at this time!
People with determination are terrible, and people with determination like you to die are even more terrifying, and those Xu Gong disciples are like this. At that time, Sun Ce was nearly 100 meters away from the nearest traveler, and the three assassins plotted against Sun Ce with bows and arrows, Sun Ce was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and the rest of the arrows were shot into Sun Ce's horse under the crotch. The war horse stood up in pain and lifted Sun Ce off the horse. After the assassin released the dark arrow, he stepped forward with a knife, Sun Ce drew his sword to meet the enemy, and fought for nearly a minute, the three assassins only attacked but not defended, all of them were fighting with lives for lives, and even life for injuries......
The three Assassins were immediately hacked to death by the incoming travelers, and Sun Ce was hurriedly wrapped in cloth and taken to the infirmary.
"Minghui, the doctor said that Sun Ce needs to recuperate, and we really have a guy named Yu Ji in Jiangdong...... You know what I mean. Outside the medical hall, two travelers dressed as generals looked at each other.
"Naturally, Sun Ce is the key to our Dongwu forces, if he dies, who can suppress those families in Jiangdong? Sun Quan is a man of success, and we really have to stop in Jiangdong. ”
"So which of the two of us is going? Killing him would have caused outrage. ”
"I'll come, after all, I don't like to fight and kill, and I won't lead an army alone, and people will say to me like floating clouds, I just need to be a strategist."
"Thank you very much."
"No, it's all for the same goal...... As long as we can unify the Three Kingdoms, there should be no Wuhu chaos and the catastrophe of Yashan. ”
"yes."
A few days later, Kure County.
"The general wants to kill the poor Dao?" Yu Ji was not flustered at all, and still drank tea slowly in his seat.
"You're not afraid at all?" Minghui was a little surprised: "You're not afraid of death?" "[It's just a one-star guy...... Does this guy really have the gods that are said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? 】
"The poor road has already been calculated to be a catastrophe at this time." Yu Ji glanced at Na Minghui deeply: "But the calamity of the poor path is not on you, why do you want to end this cause and effect with me?" ”
"Can you foresee the future?" Minghui was shocked: "You are also ......"
"I'm not what you think." Yu Ji shook his head: "It's for your lordship...... Well, before you kill me, can you give me my name? ”
"The fate of my lord...... Can it be changed? ”
"You take this cause and effect...... His fate has changed itself, but can you afford the consequences? Yu Ji's voice was very flat, and he didn't seem to care at all who he was going to be killed.
"The person who killed you is surnamed Xu, Mingming, and Minghui!" Minghui, or Xu Ming, pierced the chest of the Taoist priest in front of him with a sword: "No matter what the price is...... I'm ready for it. ”
"Huh...... It's not that heavy, it's just that you're going to be sick for a while. The corners of Yu Ji's mouth overflowed with blood, but he was still smiling: "Thinking of your loyalty, I hereby inform you that although your lord does not have to die now...... But eight years later, there is still a catastrophe, so let's do it ourselves. ”
Then a green qi flew out from the top of Yu Ji's head, turned around the corpse twice, and then headed northeast...... But Xu Ming turned a blind eye to this, and whispered secretly from his mouth: "Eight years...... A.D. 208...... The Battle of Red Cliffs? ”
In April of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Sun Ce wanted to attack Xu Du, but was assassinated by Xu Gong's family and was seriously injured. However, the strategy is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains. If the assassin rises, the enemy of one man. In my opinion, I will die at the hands of the horseman", the golden sore of the qi burst out, so the sneak attack on Xu Du ended without a problem.
At the same time, Xu Ming, the general under his command, occasionally contracted a strange disease, and the doctor was helpless, just the divine doctor Hua Tuo came here, observed its condition, checked its pulse, shielded the left and right, and said that he had lost his yin virtue, and wished him to do more good deeds, Xu Ming naturally smiled bitterly when he heard this. Hua Tuo left a pair of medicines, saying that this medicine could only suppress the pain a little, and then floated away......
"Sick for a while...... Yu Ji is really ruthless. Xu Ming only felt soreness at this time...... Still dizzy yesterday......
"It's not so much a disease as a curse. Minghui, I'm sorry for you...... When you're well, I'll invite you to Qi Xianju for a drink. Well, I heard that the popular top brand there has first-class technology, and I won't rob you when the time comes. The traveler smiled lewdly, with an expression that all men understand.
“…… You actually go to that kind of place? What's the lower limit? Xu Ming was shocked.
"You've never been to any of those places?" The traveler was also shocked, "You're still a virgin, aren't you?" ”
Although it was a question, he used an unmistakably affirmative tone.
"How do you know?" Xu Ming's face was slightly red.
"How can you bear it if you're not a virgin?" The traveler pursed his lips: "That kind of pleasure that destroys the soul and bones, once you get it, you will never be able to quit...... Even if the beauties of this era are slightly different from our aesthetics, well, it's the same with a quilt. ”
"Even that doesn't hide the fact that you don't have any hunger at all...... Ahem, this Yu Ji is really good at playing. ”
"How?" The traveler smiled and hurriedly handed over the teacup on his desk.
"It's okay, forbearance will pass, but Yu Ji has such ability, that horn's spell should be real......" After taking a sip of tea, Xu Ming's cough improved slightly.
"It's the travelers on Cao Cao's side who should have a headache now...... There's also a Zuo Ci. ”
"Haha, yes."
"Forget it, let's get down to business now, Sun Ce is seriously injured, and the Jiangdong family is ready to move again...... When the Lord is safe, why don't you see these guys so rampant. ”
"The human heart is unpredictable...... All I have to do is ......."
Although Sun Ce is not dead, Jiangdong is still unstable......
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), there were 392 travelers left.
