Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Admiral Dies!

The wind was fierce, the blood was red, and the corpses were everywhere.

Luo Yan was dressed in a scarlet robe, his face was cold, and he led the Qingzhou generals to ride forward, and the horse lance in his hand was inserted on the side of the war horse, and the red blood stained the white hair of the horse, like a red patch on the snow.

Opposite the Qingzhou Army, Yuan Shao led the ministers of Zhao Guo to come, the flag surrounded the chariot of the Chinese army, he held the frame, and the red cloak behind him was slightly raised.

Luo Yan turned over and dismounted in a dashing manner, hugged his fists and bowed and said: "The governor of Qingzhou, the governor of Qingzhou, Yan, came to see the king, and the minister is late, so please ask the king to surrender." ”

Yuan Shao looked at the heroic Luo Yan, his eyes were full of smiles, and he laughed loudly: "Ziyan is flat."

This big victory depends on you cheering up Qingzhou, and you have beheaded a lot, which is really the first achievement, so what is the crime? ”

Luo Yan was able to bring so many troops out of Qingzhou, which Yuan Shao and others did not expect.

According to the previous calculation, there were 40,000 people at most, but I didn't expect that there would be 20,000 more soldiers directly.

The group hugged Yuan Shao and Luo Yan back to the camp, the atmosphere was very warm, and the worries when they left Hebei were swept away.

After everyone was seated, Yuan Shao looked at everyone and laughed loudly: "Zhong Aiqing, now it seems that I was too worried before I waited."

Cao and Liu came violently, but the princes of the world responded with few people, isn't this the exhaustion of the Han family?

The widow once heard the sages say that the general trend of the world is like the tide, and the tide rises and falls, and there is a fixed number.

Now that the qi of the Han Dynasty is like the twilight of the West Mountain, if I, Zhao Guo, do not take advantage of the situation, wouldn't I miss the opportunity? ”

Yuan Shao's words were full of sonorous sounds, and the ministers of Zhao immediately knew that Yuan Shao had already started a war to settle the Central Plains, and then pacify the world.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhao Guoqun's ministers, his eyes shining.

What is the Way of Light Martial Arts?

What is Liu Bei talking about now?

Joke!

I, Yuan Shao, sent troops from Jizhou and Qingzhou, captured Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and then captured Xuzhou, all according to the land of the five states of the Central Plains, this is called the way of Guangwu!

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng glanced at each other, these two belonged to the typical conservatives in Zhao Guozhong.

Unwilling to make a move, the previous advice to Yuan Shao was to stick to Hebei and wait for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to go on an expedition.

But in the end, Yuan Shao decided to take the initiative to face the battle.

However, the situation of the war soon exceeded the expectations of the two men.

Lu Bu bucked the trend and was willing to throw himself on the side of Zhao State.

The alliance between the Yan State and the Zhao State allowed the Zhao State to be relieved of worries and to be able to pour out of the nest.

Luo Yan has made great achievements in Qingzhou.

Originally, Cao Cao and Liu Bei used the general momentum created by the Han Dynasty to create a faint sense of collapse.

This made everyone happy and unprepared, and it was time to discuss the next strategic plan.

Xun Chen was the mastermind, and immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that Cao Liu has been frustrated, he must rest.

Hanoi Taishou returned to the Han court, and the minister thought that he should take this opportunity to send a division to take Hanoi County first.

In this way, we can completely occupy the land of Hebei, and we can also relieve the pressure on the right flank of our army.

When the state army moves south, it can also avoid the eyes and ears.

Hanoi guarded both ends of the head rat and threw himself at Cao Cao, who should be killed. ”

Tian Feng disagreed, and said: "Your Majesty, there is an Anyang Han clan guarding between Hanoi County and Jizhou, and there is a river to intercept it, so there is no threat to our army for the time being.

But Taishan County is the key to the connection between our army and Qingzhou.

The two states of Jiqing are the foundation of my Zhao country.

Taishan County is in Liu Bei's hands, and the grain and grass from Qingzhou of our army are in danger all the time.

The Metropolitan Governor sent Gao Ran to besiege Taishan County, and the ministers were deeply disturbed.

Now we should first go down to Taishan County, open up the two prefectures of Hebei and Qingdao, form a semi-encirclement of Cao Liu, and also relieve the pressure on the left flank of our army. ”

Xun Chen frowned and said: "Yuan Hao said and laughed, Taishan County is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it has been a place where bandits have gathered since ancient times.

Don't talk about Liu Xuande's army, even those thieves who are hidden in Taishan County, Liu Xuande has occupied Mount Tai for so many years, and now he has not been swept away.

How easy is it for our army to attack? ”

Tian Feng replied: "Liu Xuande is just pretending to be benevolent and trying to collect it.

Our army attacked, set fire to the mountains, poisoned the water, and captured the bandits.

The three rivers are one, Hedong and Henan are not in hand, how can Hanoi be subdued?

Does the pass ferry from Henan to Hanoi have to be divided into troops? ”

The two actually quarreled directly.

The judge has an arbitrary personality and is a commander-in-chief, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, our army is strong now.

Cao Liu has just been frustrated, why not be in Yanzhou, invite the state pastor to go south, and make a quick decision.

Our coalition army was strong, defeated Cao and Liu, and Hanoi County and Taishan County became isolated counties, but they were just handy. ”

As soon as they heard what the trial said, Xun Chen and Tian Feng snorted coldly at the same time.

The three people in the Zhao State's high-level strategist group had three different routes, which suddenly made Yuan Shao a little difficult, he looked at Luo Yan and asked, "What does Ziyan think?" ”

Luo Yan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, what the three military advisors said makes sense.

Now our army has the advantage, and once the army of the state pastor joins, it can even be said that it is the victory of Mount Tai.

The initiative is in the hands of our army, just look at what you want, the king. ”

Yuan Shao rubbed his eyebrows, a little entangled, waved his hand and sighed: "Let the widow think about it, Zhong Aiqing will retreat first, and the scouts will spill out, pay attention to guarding against the attack of Cao and Liu." ”

Everyone stepped out of the camp and whispered to themselves, "These three choices are pretty much the same, just choose any one."

What is there to hesitate to consider? ”

Luo Yan happened to pass by the side of Frustration, and when she heard this, she immediately paused, frowned, and said, "The king should want a foolproof strategy." ”

In the camp, Yuan Shao couldn't stop thinking about these three suggestions.

He pondered what Zhao Guo needed most now, but he felt that he needed everything.

"All three proposals have shortcomings and could have irreversible consequences for the situation, but how can that be good?"

Yuan Shao felt that he had never been so sad.

……

After Cao and Liu experienced a small defeat, they were under a lot of pressure.

The name of this war is counterinsurgency.

But if it is defeated by the rebels, it will be a big joke.

At that time, there will be a new saying about who is the rebel and who is the king's master.

"What can I do about it?"

This is the common voice of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, "Has the Han family reached the point where some people openly rebelled and no one crusaded?" ”

"Nope!"

Looking at the anxious Cao Cao, Xun Yu soothed: "Prime Minister, Yuan Shaozhiqiang is in the Youzhou cavalry.

Today's plan, when the envoy Guanzhong, Ma Teng Han has the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which can be used as a reinforcement to overcome Yuan Shao, and the two of them are known as loyal and righteous, and they will definitely send troops. ”

Loyalty?

Cao Cao almost laughed out loud on the spot, but he knew that Xun Yu would never be untargeted, so he asked: "If Ma Teng and Han Sui are thousands of miles away, what if they don't want to do it?" ”

Xun Yu smiled slightly: "The prime minister only needs to say that Yuan Shao went to the Central Plains in the first battle, and half of the world was in the hands of Yuan Shao, and all the nobles of the Han family did not exist."

If the skin does not exist, what will the hair be attached?

Envoy to the festival, guard the pass, can the position of one of the princes still be maintained?

Yuan Shao's military generals and ministers, Hebei soldiers are empty-handed! ”

Cao Cao stood up, paced for two weeks, gritted his teeth and said: "Wen Ruo, give Han Sui and Ma Teng a decree to the two of them, and promise the Marquis of Wanhu."

Then give a decree to the generals of Xiliang, and those who are willing to lead the troops to come, give them the title of marquis afterwards, and officially canonize them as Taishou.

In the name of the first emperors, he sent an edict to Liu Biao, reprimanding him, and if he was unwilling to send troops, he would abolish his position as the pastor of Jingzhou. ”

Everyone was shocked, Cao Cao was really hemorrhagic and bold.

……

A month ago, and the state.

Lu Bu was ready, Zhang Liao, the generals under Lu Bu and more than 20,000 wolf horsemen were all ready to go.

Lu Bu patted Gao Shun's shoulder and said, "Xiaofu, this time I will lead the army to travel, and the state will be handed over to you, if there is danger, you must ensure the safety of your wife." ”

Gao Shun didn't speak, just nodded and signaled that he knew that he was jealous of Gao Shun and Lu Bu, but he knew that Gao Shun was loyal, but unfortunately the two of them were really not in harmony.

After confessing to Gao Shun, LΓΌ Bu led the people of Bingzhou to attack, crossed Hanoi, and then went around to the rear to attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army.

And the state was the land of Zhao in that year, the west is the big river and the mountains, the east is the Taihang Mountain, the south is the Luliang Mountain, the middle is a few basins, you can farm, the so-called mountains and rivers shape the victory, the north of the Great Wall, the natural separation.

But it was also very difficult to attack from the state, and in addition to going north to the grasslands, it was necessary to take mountain roads or cross rivers to enter other areas.

Hanoi County.

Since Yuan Shao suddenly became king, the atmosphere in the county has been quite weird, after all, Hanoi County is too close to Jizhou Yecheng, and Taishou is inclined to the imperial court.

Who can not be in a hurry?

But some people are not in a hurry.

There is a big family in Hanoi County, the Sima clan, this Sima has nothing to do with Sima Qian, but another branch, inherited from the ancient Xia official Sima, the Later Han Dynasty, is a royal family of 2,000 stones.

In this generation, there are many talents, the most famous are Sima Lang and Sima Yi, two brothers, who are well-informed and good at morality, and are quite famous among scholars.

Sima Yi was reluctant to go out of office, and only studied the classics in the family, but no one underestimated him.

In the grapevine, when Wushuang Zhongwu Marquis wanted to kill Taishou, he was the one who helped Taishou survive.

The situation in Hanoi has been turbulent in recent years, but the Sima family has always been a guest of honor, and they have to admit their ability.

Guan Hai looked at Sima Yi, who looked a little gloomy in front of him, and asked with a sigh: "Zhong Dagong, how is it good now, Yuan Shao can defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei together, and Hanoi is in danger." ”

Sima Yi drank the tea and said indifferently: "Don't panic, the situation in the world can change overnight."

For example, the princes are watching today, so Yuan Shao is cooking oil with fire, but the wise men of the world have plans in their hearts.

Look.

Yuan Shao will be defeated!

Instead of worrying about Yuan Shao, it is better to pay attention to the Tiger of Bingzhou, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.

I got the news that Lu Bu is going south to assist Yuan Shao! ”

"How is that possible?"

Guan Hai was shocked: "Why did Lu Bu ......?"

He couldn't speak, Sima Yi said slowly: "This is Lu Bu, he doesn't have the appearance of a master, that's why he does this kind of thing."

The prince of the house has to prepare early! ”

……

Tarzan.

Gao Ran obeyed Luo Yan's order to lead the Qingzhou infantry to block the mountains outside Fenggao and keep an eye on Fenggao.

He was a famous general in Hebei, one of the former Four Pillars of Hebei, and now one of the highest-ranking generals in Zhao.

At the end of this battle, Yuan Shao will be proclaimed emperor in the future, and he will most likely be one of the generals of Zhao Guozhong, with a great future.

After guarding the town for nearly a month, Gao Ran felt that something was wrong, "Liu Beijun in Fenggao City is too calm, and our army's grain and grass are constantly being transported to Yanzhou, and he doesn't even look at it?"

Is it out of town at night?

What are you preparing for? ”

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, thinking that Liu Beijun would never sit still, so he immediately sent someone to investigate, and really saw someone in Fenggao City sneaking out of the city at night!

The purpose was quickly investigated, and the thieves were contacted to rob the grain and grass from Qingzhou, and the intentions had to be said to be extremely sinister.

He immediately wanted to attack, but he thought that Luo Yan told him to keep an eye on Fenggao and watch the grain road, so he hesitated.

Taishan Road, between the mountain passes.

In the end, the thousands of Qingzhou infantry led by Gao Lan, who chose to attack, encountered thousands of Xuzhou troops full of swords and guns.

The general headed by the muscular Qiuzha, dressed in Xuanjia and holding a big bow, saw Gao Ran appear, and immediately shouted angrily: "I am Donglai Tai Shi Ci is also, come and pass the name quickly!" ”

Tai Shi Ci!

Gao Lan's heart sank, if it was really him, Tai Shici had a prestige for guarding Mount Tai, and he also learned about it in Hebei.

Cema shouted: "I am the general of Zhao State, and Gao Ran is also."

Tai Shici, you are hiding in Fenggao, you have not fought for a long time, and you will be killed here today! ”

Tai Shi Ci sneered, and shot with a bow, "Thief, eat me with an arrow first!" ”

This arrow was powerful and heavy, Gao Ran hurriedly dodged, Tai Shici rushed forward, and all the armies of Xuzhou moved forward together, and the mountains and fields were full of earth-shattering cries.

Even the sound of shouting and killing came from behind Gao Lan, and he knew that he must have been ambushed, and he was suddenly afraid.

I don't know what went wrong!

But the situation at the scene is too late to make him think about it, Tai Shici has already killed the general, he wants to escape and has nowhere to escape, the two are intertwined and entangled, Gao Ran is also a fierce general, but in the face of Tai Shici, it can only be said that there is still some difference, the two of them are fighting faster and faster, and the surrounding soldiers can't even interfere.

After a hundred moves, Gao Ran was negligent, his strength was insufficient, and he was directly hit by Tai Shici's halberd, if it wasn't for the heart guard, he would have died violently on the spot.

Gao Ran, who fell under the horse, saw a net fall directly, and there was no room for struggle, so he heard Tai Shici say in a loud voice: "Gao Ran, see that you are a strong man, if you are willing to kneel and surrender, I will spare your life." ”

Surrender?

This is probably the only chance to live.

However, this battle was completely annihilated, and the trust and entrustment of King Zhao and the Metropolitan Governor were betrayed, and even the grain route may be in danger.

Think back to the family's reputation.

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Ran shouted: "You can come and kill, and never surrender." ”

Tai Shi Ci saw that Gao Ran was resolute, and the iron halberd was thrown out directly!

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Shao has four court pillars, Gao Lan according to one of them, brave and powerful, loyal and fierce, the battle of Guandu, Luo Yan to view Mount Tai, Taishi Ci wants to obey it, Lan said: "The general of the defeated army, bury my lord's great responsibility, deserve to die, the people of Hebei, how can they descend and be humiliated?" "Died. - "The Family of General Yuan of Wei Shu"
