Xu Zhen gave up his hand to talk, and then Cao Cao personally sent him on the red rabbit horse, slapped a few times before leaving, sighed at the posture of the famous horse, sent Xu Zhen on the horse, showed a kind smile, and sent him away.

Xu Zhen and Dian Wei arrived in Puyang at dawn, and the news of the outpost actually arrived about the same time.

Zhang Liao's face was as pale as iron, and when he saw Xu Zhen, he first knelt down on one knee and saluted Xu Zhen as a minister, and then said only one word to Dian Wei, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Dian Wei was stunned on the spot, his heart was so heavy that he could barely bear the broad shoulders of his nine-foot body.

"Junhou," Zhang Liao laughed, "the army is ordered to die, and he deserves to die!" ”

Xu Zhen helped Zhang Liao up, and said with a solemn face: "The lord personally said, let all these thousand people be named loyal martyrs, and from now on, you and Gao Shun, and even 10,000 soldiers and their families, will enjoy any good government, get the home of loyalty, get the good name of the praise, get the prestige of the town outside Jiangdong, Xiaoyaojin, or for your fief in the future, you can go and bury them well!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao's lips opened slightly, and he slowly stood up as Xu Zhen helped him up, his eyes were already a little ruddy, "Junhou!" The last will follow him to the death, as never before! From now on, there will be no second thoughts! ”

Under the city gate in the distance, Xiahou Yuanrang, who was watching all this, was tall, burly and powerful, and smiled.

"With Bowen's help, take the opportunity."

"I don't know why, I didn't feel much when his soldiers and horses came, but when he himself came here, I was more at ease, and I would be like iron, and I forgot my body."

"Ordered the soldiers, to catch the wind for the Marquis of Shucheng, ordered the three armies to recite for the Xiaoyaojin war, and to offer wine to comfort all the dead soldiers," as the commander-in-chief, there are two in the army this time! There are two generals who lead the troops with great dignity and prestige.

This is an excellent opportunity, after tonight, the morale and morale of the entire military camp will definitely reach a peak that has never been seen before, and after tonight, all the soldiers should also forget about death.

This night, anyway, Zhang Liao poured Dian Wei down, patted him on the shoulder for a night, and even touched his head but didn't react, Dian Wei lay on the case.

Xu Zhen and Xiahou dun arrived in the main tent, and the two of them sat side by side, drinking a little, and the candle flame flickered.

Originally, they all had to say a lot of things to say, but they didn't know how to say it all of a sudden, they just looked at each other and smiled, each of them was speechless, although Xu Zhen had only seen this hard-working general a few times.

But in fact, the two still have a lot of affection in secret, all of which were done secretly, and no one mentioned it, for example, without Xu Zhen, the general may have to lose one eye, because that letter allowed him to counterattack Lu Bu, establish meritorious deeds, and gain a large number of prestige in Puyang, so that Yuan's soldiers and horses have not dared to make too many moves.

As for now, they have been scolded like this, of course, they have to fight back fiercely.

And Xu Zhen, if there was no Xiahou Dun to recommend him, at that time he would come out alone to lead the troops to welcome the Son of Heaven, and he would be suppressed by the rest of the clan when he went back, and ordered him to hand over all the military power to go back and forth to do a leisurely errand, although what Xu Zhen asked for at that time was originally this, but if this was really the case, there would not be the feat of 60,000 elite soldiers out of Jiujiang and thousands of soldiers and horses out of Jiujiang now.

They hadn't budged before, but they had a deep friendship.

"Junhou, are you here just to see Zhang Liao? Is there any other strategy? How was it to be a Japanese military division for a while? I think that the soldiers and horses are all led by generals, and they are quite complete. ”

"Yes, let's grab the official crossing first."

Xu Zhen immediately said categorically, he didn't plan to do anything, but Xiahou Xuan snorted and baked the atmosphere here, and he wasted such good morale without doing anything, and it just happened to let the people of Jizhou know that the pot was made of iron.

As long as the official ferry is snatched back first, and then the white horse ferry is robbed, once these ferries are completed, they can take a slight advantage.

Even if the lord wants to finish his work in one battle, in fact, there are still countless arrangements in secret, and how can there be so many defeats in a battle, they are all snowballing.

And before the biggest battle, the accumulated forces of both sides also need to be constantly prepared.

Still have to think of a good way, in the past, Xu Zhen may not be so familiar with talking directly to the person he just met, but thinking about it at the moment, there is no need to stick to those words, it is the best choice to bury your head in doing things directly, and many tacit understandings and friendships have been cultivated in continuous negotiations.

"Okay, since the general also has this intention, I won't stay longer, tonight's memorial and wind and dust have been completed, I will first take the soldiers and horses to explore the nearby terrain, from Puyang to the north, but also to find how many places can be defended, how many places can be stationed and grain, and the army can be safely marched."

"Okay."

Xiahoudun thought about it, and didn't know where to start, it is estimated that Xu Zhen was also looking for an excuse to leave this embarrassing scene, mainly because if you talk about age, the difference between the two is nearly twenty; If you talk about merit, I don't know how much worse than Xu Zhen, and in terms of status, I am just a Dongjun Taishou, Xu Zhen concurrently serves as the Taishou of the three places, and seals the Marquis of Shucheng, if you want Xu Zhen to listen to your own teachings, it is very strange, if you want to talk to Xu Zhen in a low voice, it will be even more strange, it is better to go.

But what he didn't know was that Xu Zhen was not embarrassed, but he didn't want to continue to talk in the account, and it was useless to continue talking.

Since both of them have the same idea, what else is there to consider?

If you want to get it, then you can get it directly, so Xu Zhen really explored the earth that night, bringing Zhang Liao and his armored horse, the armored horse did not wear armor, the riding was a thin horse, and the Xiliang war horse equipped with it did not follow, after all, it was not in the time of the big war, Xu Zhen had already thought about it, if many things were exposed, then they would be exposed, it would be the same, but the real killer of lethality must be at the most critical time.

As Guo Jia said, he can't afford to lose, so what can be hidden must be hidden.

At night, it is the time that belongs to Xu Zhen alone, and Zhang Liao walked together, at this time Zhang Liao had not yet sobered up, but after the river breeze blew at night, he immediately woke up a little, and Dian Wei went back to sleep, and did not follow, patted Zhang Liao's shoulder before leaving, and handed over all the tasks of guarding Xu Zhen to him.

"This place, like a silver snake hanging, sparkling, such a river waves, as long as you occupy the official crossing, you can take advantage of the situation to cross the white horse, Wenyuan, if you build a bridge to cross the river, how long will it take?"

"Prince, look at the outposts, the narrowest banks of the crossing Guandu are at our feet, the opposite outpost is three hundred steps away, counting the width of the river is estimated to be three hundred and eighty steps, the river is extremely turbulent, the road and bridge have been damaged, if you want to take the stone bridge, it must be known."

"If I go straight to the stone bridge, I can make another surprise attack tonight, and things will be big."

"Then make a big fuss!"

Xu Zhen's eyes suddenly froze.

"Then he will go to the camp and let the armor be clothed in iron armor."

"Go, now is the most critical time, go down to Guandu tonight, and take the white horse tomorrow! Take the lead and avoid suffering too heavy losses when crossing the river in the future! ”

Xu Zhenke remembered that when he really fought, he had to face at least a million arrows from Yuan Jun, shooting day and night, and when they fell, it was a real rain of arrows.

I don't know how many people will die at that time, but now that they occupy Guandu and Baima Ferry, and can hold it, it is the real high point, even if the big battlefield in the future is still in Guandu, the river can also be cut off, and the benefits after the truncation are too many, Xu Zhen has now understood why the location is set in Guandu.

Cao Cao's grain transportation is very close, can be hoarded in Chenliu and Dongjun, at any time to transport grain to Puyang, and then transported to the Guandu battlefield, into the land of Wei County is not too far, and Yuan Shao has five rivers south to transport grain, so that within a few days can continue to transport grain to all the military camps on the entire front, how convenient.

This place is a unique battlefield for the two of them, Jizhou and Yanzhou have rivers to transport grain and grass, they do not fight water wars, it is very convenient, so this is a river outside, it is particularly important.

Tonight, they will not fortify, because Puyang is paying tribute to the loyal martyrs of Xiaoyaojin and preaching that great battle, and countless people are speculating how Xu Zhen did it, and he can actually let Sun Ce's army be defeated and returned.

"Good!"

Zhang Liao slapped his thigh, "Go and go!" It's definitely not as good as the mission! ”

"I'll write you a poem when the time comes. Drunk official crossing water, night sacrifice loyal soul! Xu Zhen looked at Zhang Liao's crisp and neat appearance, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder and said a few words casually, but he didn't expect this sentence to make Zhang Liao's eyes really ruddy, and his momentum got up, and when he got up, he almost slipped his feet, and held up on the soil, looked at Xu Zhen deeply, nodded heavily, and was quite excited, "Okay, good!" ”

"Drunk officials cross the water, and sacrifice loyal souls at night, okay! I and, the last general and the heroic soul of the soldiers fought together, took the official crossing, captured the white horse, two hundred miles along the way in one or two days, it must be too late, the last general will take the official ferry first! ”

Xu Zhen smiled and watched him leave, this breath of drinking is really not comfortable, so since you are going to fight tomorrow, why bother, you can basically judge at a glance when you visit the camp, Yuan Jun's precautions are normal, and the news has just arrived in the land of Jizhou, and it is estimated that Yuan Shao will not have any reaction.

Then add some more information to him, more chaos, and let him wait for two news!

Soldiers are fast.

……

"The soldiers are fast, why is it useless!"

In the camp by the Danyang River, Sun Ce's face was gray, Xu Zhen's giant arrow was wrapped in fire oil, and when the dense fire arrows shot down, the fire quickly rose, burning countless warships, and the iron hooks and locks accumulated in the water blocked the way forward, and it was difficult to retreat.

As soon as he turned around, he was shot by a fire arrow, and then the burning was more comprehensive, and the two ships suffered and stayed in Xiaoyaojin forever.

The cavalry damaged the veteran Han Dang, Huang Gai was desperate to rescue him, and the casualties were so heavy that the morale could not be boosted at all, Xu Zhen had already taken precautions.

"Take precautions! There is a mental calculation or not, we think he has been tricked, but he has already made a move! The water of the ferry was full of obstacles, blocking the boats, and they didn't use the ferry at all, and when they were traded, they all took other ferries, and they made detours, and this time they were all calculated," the lieutenant general who followed him cried on the ground, and said that he had killed more than 300 brothers in this battle, and some of them had fallen into the water and fled desperately, and all the baggage and the grain and straw bales with the weight of the draft were thrown away along the way.

They lost a lot of armor when they came back from swimming, and all they could get were a few arrows, and the rest sank into the water with the big ship early.

On the shore of the ferry, there are more than 1,000 elite cavalry who shoot arrows, shooting and killing a lot of people on the boat and Mong, these soldiers and horses are difficult to escape on the deck, who can know that Xu Zhen's soldiers and horses are so superb, such a big river breeze, can actually shoot directly flat, the distance is close at hand, the difference is less than 100 steps, these soldiers have the ability to shoot arrows 100 steps away.

There were many dead and wounded, this is just a microcosm of the deputy general, and the rest of the deputy generals are not convinced, thinking about about a hundred steps or so to rush forward directly with the soldiers and horses, but as soon as they rushed out, they were immediately repelled by several rounds of arrows, and in an instant, the casualties were so large that they did not dare to rush and could only jump into their mouths again, and as a result, they were shot as targets when they returned to the ship.

The cavalry was even more miserable, and it was discovered soon after going on the land route, and they made preparations early after the outpost returned, and their outpost was actually thirty miles, and the horses were running very fast, well-armed, and the armor was like an ornament under their swords, and everyone's ring-headed knife skills were very skilled, slashing like the wind, extremely accurate, and the war horse war capital was very fast.

The most important thing is that these cavalry are really fast, the combat advance and retreat are measured, the command is fine, and they can change many tactics with gestures for a long time, which makes people unguardable, if they are not crazy to kill the Xiaoyaojin camp, I am afraid that so many people will not die.

But they killed like this, and they did almost kill directly into the territory of Jiangdong, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few people, I'm afraid they would have entered Danyang, this defeat was not a little miserable, so miserable that Sun Ce's reputation as a little overlord could only be spread in Jiangdong, Jingzhou was estimated to be ridiculed, only they knew that if Sun Ce led the land army, it might not be like this, this fire, sooner or later, it would have to be returned.

"Now, what should I do?"

"I don't know how to ......"

"Garrison the local area, stop the caravan traffic, and let Gong Jin come back from the Jianye Navy to garrison," Sun Ce slammed the case and stroked his forehead in annoyance, "Wait, let's wait and see how Xu Zhen makes a move!" This Hefei can't go for the time being, once the raid fails, their army will tighten the garrison, and I ......"

After Sun Ce thought about it, he had to go back to face the accusations of the people, the army and the people, and perhaps there were countless scholars who doubted him and were no longer afraid, these things should have disappeared when he captured Hefei, and the unprecedented prestige in Jiangdong was established.

Now this is the opposite of what you want, and the next thing you have to face may be the undercurrent, Xu Zhen is really ruthless, so come and go, completely ensure the safety of Hefei, and now Jiangdong has no chance to do anything again.

Of course, Sun Ce would not know that he had picked up a life, and he would not be assassinated for the time being, because he had stopped attacking Hefei, so Xu Zhen's order would not fall into the hands of Xu Gong, and He Tong and they would not find a way to find an opportunity to do it, so that Sun Ce could settle down a little.

As for whether he will be assassinated by someone else, it is not known.
