On this night, Zhang Liao led the troops to personally raid the Guandu, crossed the bridge, and talked with the boats of the ferry, and the cavalry rushed at the same time, taking advantage of the camp on the opposite bank when it was in the most trance, and killed into the camp.

But the iron armor on the body is too hard, these are definitely not pretentious things, they are really completely new types of armaments, a knife to cut up, everyone can not cut off the armor, and the protective place on the body is almost to the extreme, can not really cause damage, but they are all knives down, they can be cut like melons and vegetables, after killing into the camp, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses can not resist at all, and they were soon killed by Zhang Liao several times.

Then the rout and fled, Zhang Liao's battle losses in this battle were very small, most of the Yuan army was in a hurry, and there was also no general to guard, so the horses' hooves of the armor rode here three or four times, robbed almost all the grain, grass and armaments, killed thousands of people, and galloped horses at the ferry along the way, dyeing the river red.

One night later, the news of the military report was sent to Jizhou, but at this time the Baima ferry was also being attacked, that was when Xiahoudun heard the military report in the early morning when it was almost dawn, Xu Zhen was no longer reasonable, tonight he asked Zhang Liao to kill the other side to pay tribute to the souls of the dead soldiers under his command, and use the blood of the enemy to bid farewell to his wolf horse, so Xiahoudun did not consider it at all, and directly sent troops to cross the river and go straight to Baima, the efficiency of the two major ferries is the highest, there are many warships that can pass, and they can also garrison troops, If you occupy the ferry, you can push the barracks to the other side of the river.

Cao Ying's advance was extremely fast, Wen Chou, who was across the bank from Liyang, did not expect to lose two ferries overnight, Xiahou Tang would not march like this on weekdays, and they had been paying tribute to the souls of Jiangdong that night, and they had a big feast for this, and the military order under Wen Chou did make people strengthen the defense of the ferry and double the number of patrols, but before the order arrived, the ferry had been lost.

In the end, he could only send the military report to Yecheng, Wei County, and this news and the news from Jiangdong really arrived at about the same time, which made Yuan Shao immediately furious, and in the case of extreme anger, he was angry all day.

It wasn't until the evening that he summoned his confidants and close ministers, and even Liu Bei, a foreigner, came to the government office to discuss, and everyone present also told each other the news when they met before coming, Liu Bei's heart trembled immediately when he heard the name Xu Zhen, and when he heard the name Zhang Liao, he felt a pain again, and he said in his heart that such a fierce general really entered Xu Zhen's command again, he got the elite soldiers under Lu Bu, and now his reputation is great again, that can be called a real victorious person, Zhang Liao...... Liu Bei has heard his second brother mention more than once, the second brother and he do not have a deep relationship, but he has understood, originally when he was under Lu Bu, he did not show the dew, but led the troops strictly, very prestigious, and was a famous general.

His subordinates became famous in the battle of Xiaoyaojin, and he made meritorious achievements in the raid of Guandu, and his reputation after that could not be suppressed, if such people were under my command! Of course, there will be no such opportunity, but I still think it's a pity......

Liu Bei's heart ached for a moment, and as Wenwu entered the lobby to discuss the matter, to be precise, he followed behind Xu You, and when he was about to walk in front of Yuan Shao, Xu You turned to look at him and said, "I said earlier, Xu Zhen has to guard against it!" ”

You didn't say that.

Liu Bei has been staying for a long time now, and found that although Xu You is very talented, he has some shortcomings, although it is not big, but it is easy to kill him in the future, his personality is greedy, and vain, but he is not the kind of obsession with deep obsession, that is, he pays attention to some small things, these are not Liu Bei's favorite temperament, and the two did not realize it when they worked together, but this time after meeting Yuan Shao, he felt that it was particularly prominent.

At this time, hearing Xu You's words, Liu Bei's heart became more and more uneasy, this sentence was obviously what I said, but at the beginning, the civil and military didn't care, especially Yan Liang still clamored not to put Xu Zhen and Lu Bu in his eyes.

If you can listen to it at that time, this time before Xu Zhen comes, be careful of this person's sudden tricks, although he is cautious, but the cautious person is suddenly not cautious, and the use of troops is erratic and aggressive, isn't this also a kind of layout? !

Sure enough, the misfortune was right.

Liu Bei lamented that this was in front of Yuan Shao, and looked up slightly, he was wearing a gorgeous costume and walking left and right on the steps, his hands were clenched tightly behind his back, and beads of sweat fell on his forehead. The morale of our army is even more affected, and now that the Guandu ferry has been lost, and the white horse is now in danger, if so, I still have to move my troops south, what can I do now?! can only immediately issue another text, and the soldiers will fight a decisive battle between Dongjun and Cao Cao's army! ”

"As it should be!" Xu You immediately applauded and said, "There are 300,000 armor in our army, what are you afraid of him Cao Cao doing?" ”

"No, never!"

Tian Feng suddenly stood up and waved his hand, and glanced at Xu Yu coldly, and hugged his fist at Yuan Shao and said: "It should be condemned, Xu Zhen's mobilization of troops must be Cao Cao's instructions, in order to vent the anger of the Wen at that time, we are now sending troops in the middle of the middle, and after the battle, the people in both places will be chaotic, and now it is about to enter the winter to the New Year, it is not easy to move troops, once the people's hearts are shaken, Cao Cao has the son of heaven to sit in the town and can be stable, and the people have been benefiting the government for many years, and the people can be stable in less than a month, but we are not necessarily, Youzhou has just been settled, It has not yet produced military resources and armaments, and it takes more than two years to prepare for the preparation of strong soldiers and horses, Qingzhou and Bingzhou have just arrived at stability, Jizhou has already been fertile for thousands of miles, and millions of fertile fields, why not wait? ! ”

"The lord must not be bewitched by people like Xu Yu who are greedy for merit and rashness, the good situation will be a complete failure!! We didn't do anything when Cao Cao attacked Shouchun before, and now he is fully armed and preparing to fight me, but he wants to touch his soldiers, isn't that ...... Stupid acts?! ”

"Who do you say is greedy for merit?! I'm thinking about my lord! If it continues, it will not necessarily be better than armaments! ”

Although Xu Yu and Tian Feng are-for-tat on weekdays, they still maintain some decency, and today he is simply pointing at his face and scolding, you said that you would wait for the results of the battle of Jiangdong, I just expanded a few words, in other words, I followed Ling's words, how can I still have the face to scold me now?!

"I think it's because you don't know the art of war, so you don't dare to fight? Can't understand the general trend of the world? If I really don't understand, I can teach it right now! Youzhou in the north is extremely far away, and the second prince is enough to defend it with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are no foreign enemies now. And Liu Biao in the south and Sun Ce in Jiangdong, it is estimated that no one will help now! Especially Liu Biao, when he first entered Jingzhou, he united too many scholars to remediate, and he seemed to be famous and famous, but in fact he was old and weak, didn't he listen to the words of the scholars in the territory when he spoke and did things? He said that he wanted to fight, but he also had to gamble! What are you betting on? As soon as he made a move, would he also have touched some strategy, and he was famous by a certain general like Sun Ce?! Who knows how many strange people are there under Xu Zhen's command? As for those princes outside the Guan, if the Central Plains is chaotic, they will advance, and if the Central Plains is strong, they will shrink. ”

"No matter how strange people are, they can't always resist the army, and now that the soldiers and horses are added together, how many troops can be sent, you won't be out of numbers, right?"

When he said this, Guo Tu, Fu Zhu, Xin Ping, Cui Yan and others didn't speak, if they really want to calculate it, their family will lose tens of thousands of people, these people are all scholars, these years when Cao Cao has not yet gotten up, he has long decided that it is their family's general who will eventually dominate the world and support the Han family's orthodoxy, even when Youzhou has not been taken, they all have their own private armies.

But at this time, Guo Tu still took a deep look at Xu You, with a little coldness in his eyes, thinking that you, a Runan person, have been following for a long time, and the faction is not glamorous.

I can't compare to the people of Qinghe, can't I compare to you?

Of course, this coldness also made Xu You feel it, because not only Guo Tu, but other people also stared at him coldly, and they all knew what he meant, and they really wanted to do their best to fight, and the wealth accumulated over the years of making contributions could basically be pulled out and beaten cleanly, and they couldn't move their old bottom when they were in Youzhou, and now they are even more reluctant to move.

As a result, Xu You's next sentence was really changed, "If the current recruits in our army are added together, there are 350,000, far more than Cao Cao's people, even if you wait a few more years, what can you do?" It's nothing more than 500,000, 600,000 soldiers and horses, and it makes no sense if the extra people are not elite soldiers, and now at least send troops to recapture the two ferries, otherwise let the Cao army cross the river bank and establish a military camp, and get it? Then Liyang, do you keep it? Do you still want the military heart? If there is no military morale, the people's hearts have also been lost, and will they be recruited in the future? ”

Liyang is also equivalent to Puyang in Yanzhou.

These two cities are excellent barriers, which can garrison tens of thousands of soldiers, making it difficult for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to move an inch, so they have been guarding each other for all these years to have such a situation, but the balance of this situation has been broken by Xu Zhen, Liyang in the rescue of the ferry, unexpectedly did not play any role, it looks like a paper tiger, and now to save the morale of the army, you still have to think of a way.

At this time, after Ju Yi looked at the faces of these ministers, he relied on the military exploits of the defeated white horse and said in a deep voice: "What kind of military heart are you talking about now!?" Now it's time to get back face! ”

This is the truth, for a while, all the faces of the civil and military forces turned black, Xu You inexplicably glanced at the half-blooded general of Dongyi with long hands and feet, and didn't say anything, you have high military achievements, you can say it casually.

"Ju Yi said yes!"

Someone shouted directly, looking for prestige and a general with high prestige, Yan Liang, or him, the person with the most majestic appearance and demeanor is also him, so his prestige in the army is the highest, although Ju Yi has made great contributions in Youzhou, but when he really speaks, he is not as good as Yan Liang can speak, mainly because of his appearance and demeanor, as well as his bearing, which Yuan Shao likes more.

"Then send troops, and at the same time send the text again, so as to scold Cao Cao again," Yuan Shao waved his hand irritably, and then asked everyone to disperse, leaving Gao Lan, Zhang He and other generals, these are the people who lead the troops in his heart, and specially instructed: "You must also send troops in the same way, secretly take your headquarters to seize the White Horse Ferry, counterattack must be fast and secretive, you must be ruthless, and you can't let Cao's army stand still!" ”

"Whoa!"

That night.

Yan Liang personally led his troops to the Liyang garrison, and also deliberately released the news, making people think that Yuan Shao was just responding to the surprise attack of Xu Zhen and other soldiers and horses, and did not come to attack, but secretly Gao Ran and Zhang He personally led the troops to raid two places.

were all guarded, the white horse suffered heavy losses, almost half of them were lost, and the fortifications of the bridge had not been completely completed, so the soldiers and horses behind him could not be delivered immediately, but on the second day, Xiahoudun immediately replenished his troops and continued to garrison, and finally took precautions.

And because of the change of guard on the side of Guandu Ferry, it was also the Puyang soldiers and horses led by Han Dang who were stationed, and the dark sentinels and horses were placed in the seven ambush points early, so they repelled Zhang He's troops equally.

These battles are very sudden and fast, in the Guandu area quickly started, the huge Guandu began to fight out of the ferry, the plain is full of Yan Liang's cavalry and foot soldiers, less than thirty miles apart, you can launch a rush at any time, once the war starts, it may be out of control, these years and Xiahoudun to compete for the cross-strait ferry, open and secret robbery many times, each has its own gains, now because of the arrival of a Xu Zhen, has been completely stirred into a pot of porridge.

……

"Bang!"

Xu Du, Cao Cao threw the book and the war report sent directly on the case, and the crisp sound frightened Guo Jia to the side, so he could only look at the wooden floor with a cold face, he knew that he was really angry, Xu Zhen went to leave his post without permission and did not respect the military order and attacked, he even brought Xiahoudun with him.

"How could Yuan Rang let him come nonsense! Yes?! He also drunk the official crossing the water, and sacrificed the loyal soul at night! Zhang Wenyuan is drunk, he dares to listen to any military order! This time, I will be scolded for the eighteenth generation of my ancestors again! How much of the army can be mobilized now? Less than 150,000! I will keep the peace everywhere! ”

"Go!" Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia next to him and said, "Send 50,000 stones of grain and grass to Puyang, 10,000 catties of meat!" Let the two of them poke their own baskets and find their own way to flatten! ”

"I look at how much money Xu Bowen still has, and he dares to be so aggressive! Just do it, that's really not his character! ”

Guo Jia fell into a wry smile on the side, where are you angry and complaining, if the people in the past had been called back like this, they would have either whipped or scolded angrily, or simply removed him from his post and made him unable to do anything, that is, Xu Bowen...... And send 50,000 stone of grain, afraid that he will be hungry?

After saying this, Cao Cao immediately got up, took the military newspaper that had just been smashed down on the case with one hand, and said with Guo Jia with emotion: "I'm going to see Zhong Xuan, alas! Poke such a big basket, and I have to wipe him, this person is too reckless! Reckless!! This Xu Bowen! ”

Cao Cao scolded and went out, and Guo Jia, who was behind him, immediately shook his head bitterly and asked, "Do you want to ask Wen Ruo to go with you?" ”

"Call, call, call."

Cao Cao put the book in the table and went out first, but when he came out, people were already laughing, and now Zhong Xuan couldn't run away, and it was estimated that this matter was enough to force this old fox to make a decision quickly.
