Chapter 409: Beyond Measure
With a pop, the big head fell to the ground, blood droplets splashed, and a few drops of blood fell on Xu Sheng's face.
"Expanding the territory is at this time!" Xu Sheng came back to his senses and took the lead and rushed straight to Cao Jun's main formation.
"Beat the drums!" Ding Feng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw that Xu Sheng had succeeded, he immediately ordered the drum to be killed.
Yang Yongshang was watching the battle in front of the battle, and when he saw Cheng Xiong being killed in front of him, the enemy general covered up and killed, and was shocked, knowing that he could not resist the enemy, so he turned his horse's head and fled.
The Cao army was in an uproar behind, the Chinese army was in chaos, the men and horses fled backwards, crowded together, and Xu Sheng danced his knife into the chaos and was invincible.
Yang Yong was blocked by the chaotic army, and seeing that Xu Sheng was chasing him, he rode his horse to the right in a hurry, and when Ding Feng led the troops to kill, he took the move in a panic and fled into the crowd with a false shot.
Cao's army had no one to command and dispatch, and it was even more defeated, the middle lane was attacked by Xu Sheng, the flank was killed by Ding Feng, and Xie Xiong on the right side also covered up, and most of it was lost in a blink of an eye.
Hearing the screams behind him, Yang Yong was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he only cared about urging the horse to gallop away, and when he saw Ding Feng chasing after him, he yelled: "Dog thief, don't force people too much." ”
At this time, the men and horses were defeated, although they had the intention to kill the enemy, but they were afraid of being surrounded by the Wu army, so they fought hard to fight the horses and fled, and scattered their own horses in the chaos.
Ding Feng saw that Xu Sheng had killed a general, and he was not to be outdone, staring at Yang Yong in the chaos, rushing left and right, rushing to the front with an oblique stab, and stabbing Yang Yong in the back.
"Too much deception!" Yang Yong saw that the coming general was like a shadow, and he killed himself in the chaos army, and he couldn't help but be furious, and returned to the horse to fight.
Ding Feng's spear went out to sea like an angry dragon, unstoppable, and when he didn't reach three times, he stabbed him in the ribs of the waist and knocked him off the horse.
Wu Jun did not have the order to persuade them to surrender, they went from the sea to the north for half a year, leaving their homeland for thousands of miles, fearful, when they set out on the expedition, they had already held the heart of death, and at this time they successfully went ashore, knowing that there was no way to retreat, and they all fought bravely to kill the enemy.
The Wu army was like a pack of wolves hunting, under the leadership of Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, all the way like an autumn wind sweeping leaves, chasing more than ten miles away, killing the Cao army to the left, before packing up the baggage and returning victorious.
The next day, Zhou Yu's army rushed to Anqiu, Zhou Yu rewarded the second general and all the soldiers, rewarded the front army, this was the first great victory after the Wu army landed, seeing that the Cao army was so vulnerable, all confidence was greatly increased.
Liu Zhengyan, who joined the army, said: "Although Cheng Xi is the assassin of Qingzhou, the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou are under the control of Tian Yu, and the two have always been at odds. Tian Yu insisted on guarding Beihai, but Cheng Xi took the initiative to fight, and there must be differences of opinion. ”
This Liu Zheng was originally a native of Qingzhou, and he had avoided the chaos in Liaodong with Bing Yuan and Tai Shi Ci, and later was rescued by Bing Yuan because he offended Gongsun Du, and was escorted back to the Central Plains by Tai Shi Ci.
This time, when the Wu army went north, Tai Shici secretly wrote a letter to Zhou Yu to visit this person, thinking that he was a guide to join the army, and he knew the situation of the Cao army in Qingzhou and Hebei well.
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Discord between generals and commanders is a taboo in the army!" A surprise attack on Qingzhou today, pointing at the Central Plains, even if the thief is in person, he also lacks the skills to return to the sky, not to mention such unknown people? ”
Liu Zhengyan said: "Cheng Xi doesn't know the soldiers, but he hates Tian Yu, this method boasts of Haikou, and the clan brother is beheaded again, he will be annoyed and ashamed, and he will fight with a large army, and the governor should take precautions as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Yu laughed and said: "Cheng Xiruo and Tian Yu are as strong as the wall, but I am at a loss, if I take the initiative to fight, it is exactly what I want, so that he knows the ability of the Jiangdong Army." ”
Liu Zheng and Zhou Yu got along for more than a month, and was impressed by his bearing, and nodded: "Liu Qi has broken through the pass, the Chinese Yuan is in a hurry, Cao Wei's forces are concentrated in the Central Plains, the eastern front is empty, and I am afraid that no one will be able to fight with the governor." ”
Liu Qi ...... But I'm my son-in-law in Jiangdong! Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was reluctant to mention the matter of Jiangdong, and said to Liu Zhengyan: "In the past, Tian Yu shook the north, Liu Yi was afraid and did not dare to take the initiative to send troops. ”
Liu Zheng hugged his fists and said: "The governor will use it, and he will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths, but he wants to use the radical method?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded and smiled: "The hero sees the same thing, Liu Yi is the first general in Liaodong, both civil and military, and has made great achievements for the Gongsun clan. ”
Liu Zheng received the order, and Zhou Yu immediately wrote a letter ordering him to send it to Liu Yi and agreed to take Beihai together.
In Beihai City, Tian Yu was urging the men and horses to train the troops, and suddenly the defeated soldiers returned to the city, and told Cheng Xi that the soldiers and horses were defeated, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
Cheng Xizheng angrily ordered troops and was ready to send troops to take revenge, Tian Yu persuaded: "Zhou Yu is a hero in the world, the prime minister is still afraid of three points, the Ming Mansion should not be impulsive, at this time, it is only advisable to stand still and defend according to the danger." General Xiahou has rushed to the aid from Xuzhou, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, and it is not too late to fight a decisive battle with Eastern Wu. ”
The former army failed, Cheng Xi was already difficult to step down, Tian Yu spoke like this again, and suddenly became furious: "When Zhou Yu first arrived in the north, he must not be accustomed to the water and soil, and I am favored by the prime minister. ”
Tian Yu said angrily: "The Art of War: 'Know your opponent and know yourself, and win a hundred battles. 'The two generals deceived the enemy and died, the lessons of the past are in front of him, the public is the lord of a state, he should focus on the overall situation, so arbitrary, is it not a disappointment to the prime minister's trust? ”
Cheng Xi was scolded so ugly that he slammed the table and shouted: "Tian Guorang, do you know that the times have changed? In this world, when the son is in power and is in urgent need of solving problems, a cowardly enemy like you will be able to calm the thief? ”
Tian Yu held back his anger and persuaded again: "It's not a cowardice, it's really because the stakes are high, Zhou Yu knows the art of war, and the Ming Mansion will be counted for it, once Beihai is lost, Qingzhou is not guaranteed, and Hebei and Xuzhou are in danger." ”
Cheng Xi was furious and shouted: "The two armies clashed, you repeatedly increased the prestige of others, and ruined my morale, what do you mean?" You can't be too guarded in Beihai, dare to stop me from sending troops? ”
Tian Yu saw that Cheng Xi insisted on sending troops, and said helplessly: "Futai insists on sending troops, and I am willing to defend Beihai and wait for General Xiahou." ”
Cheng Xi said coldly: "I went to fight, but you guarded the rear, do you have to sit back and enjoy the success?" General Wentian is brave and good at fighting, and the Hu people in the north are frightened, so I will leave 5,000 men and horses for you today, and you must repel the Liaodong soldiers and horses when I return, and there must be no mistake. ”
Tian Yu sighed: "Then Liu Yi is a famous general in Liaodong, with both civil and military skills, how can he easily retreat from the enemy if he is prepared this time?" ”
Cheng Xi laughed angrily: "Good Tian Guorang, Zhou Yu is a hero in Jiangdong, you dare not fight the enemy, and now you say that Liu Yi is both civil and military, you are so cowardly, you have to be reused by the prime minister, are you really a flatterer?" If you don't go all out to break the enemy this time, when General Xiahou arrives, I have a reason, and it is a capital crime to be passive and sluggish, I hope you will do it yourself. ”
Then he passed down the general's order, ordered the three armies to clean up and prepare money, grain, wagons and horses, and 30,000 elites were exhausted, and they would take Anqiu directly tomorrow morning and destroy the Wu army.
Zhou Yu only brought 10,000 horses, and he would be able to win a complete victory against the enemy with three times the force, and when the time came, he would not only become famous, but also humiliate Tian Yu, and let Cao Pi and his son see who was the one who really served the Cao family.
There were only 8,000 defenders left in the city, Tian Yu sighed, Cheng Xi couldn't help himself, so he could only send someone to report to Xiahoudun, asking him to send light cavalry to support as soon as possible, otherwise Zhou Yu would occupy Qingzhou, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
