Chapter 533: Cao Cao invited Sun Jian to flank Liu Bei
The heavy weapon was driven by pure power to make a violent impact, and a huge roar echoed on the battlefield, making the two people near Xiahou Yuan and Tai Shici almost jump out of their hearts.
But this was only the beginning, the two humanoid beasts shouted excitedly, and once again waved their weapons and rushed together, their faces full of frenzy as if they had met their best friends.
They are all first-class warriors in the world, and the way of martial arts seems to be integrated into their blood, and they use the most relaxed posture to raise the iron weapon weighing dozens of catties, and use the most amazing speed and explosive power to swing the most powerful blow.
Since they were chess opponents, they almost gave up those flashy moves, and competed vigorously for strength, smashing weapons like blacksmiths with a loud "clanging sound".
Everyone who watched the battle felt the murderous aura emanating from them!
Xiahou Yuan and Tai Shici's war horses and weapons were mixed together, rolled into a whirlpool, rushing back and forth on the battlefield.
Wherever these two men rushed, the soldiers immediately gave way and let them gallop back and forth!
Xiahou Yuan also did his homework on the generals under Liu Jian, and knew who the good generals under Liu Jian were, such as Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, Xiahou Yuan knew everything.
But the person in front of him doesn't seem to be right with anyone!
The only possibility may be that Zhang He and Zhao Yun under Liu Bei are still relatively close......
But this person also said that he is Donglai Tai Shici!
I've never heard of that name before!
Listening to his accent, it seems to be from Qingzhou, but there is a bit of Liaodong accent in it......
Liu Jian's fierce generals who can fight are really countless!
Xiahou Yuan and Tai Shi Ci fought fiercely, and they were temporarily in an invincible and undefeated situation.
But war is never a matter of two people!
When Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses collided head-on with Gao Shun's trapped camp, the difference in strength between the two sides was revealed.
The main force of Xiahou Yuan's army is the elite troops handed over to him by Cao Cao, these soldiers include the elite who followed Cao Cao from the north to the south, the elite who Cao Cao surrendered from the Black Mountain Army back then, and the brave soldiers recruited from Danyang after Cao Cao occupied Jiangdong, most of these soldiers ignored life and death and moved forward bravely.
But the training level of this army is really much worse than that of the trapped camp.
Gao Shun's trapping camp has experienced a lot of baptism of war, especially in terms of drills, and there are almost no comparisons in the entire Han Dynasty to Gao Shun.
Cao Chun under Cao Cao had more means to train cavalry, and Cao Ren also had a certain level of training, but compared with Gao Shun, it was still a little worse.
Gao Shun's training and command of the large army may not be first-class, but he is the top in terms of training and commanding thousands of elite soldiers.
In the face of the trapped camp, Xiahou Yuan's troops wavered uncontrollably and retreated, Xiahou Yuan was stumped by Tai Shi Ci, Ling Cao and Lu Dai couldn't hold down the position, and they didn't have enough ability to command the troops to compete with Gao Shun.
The trapped camp is in a position step by step, and they are not in a hurry to attack, but just use their advantages to constantly compress the opponent's combat space.
In the beginning, the trap camp only had a small upper hand, but the gap grew bigger and bigger over time......
Cao's army's formation finally collapsed, and the soldiers could not form an effective response to the situation, and retreated for several miles, and during this period, Liu Bei had been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and Xiahou Yuan was entangled by Tai Shici and could not get close to Liu Bei for a hundred steps.
When the soldiers and horses retreated, Xiahou Yuan was negligent in the rear because he led the left and right emperors to retreat, and was shot in the back shoulder by Tai Shici with an arrow!
However, this is because Tai Shici specially instructed Liu Bei before going to war.
Because as far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Bei is mainly to rescue Xuzhou, and he doesn't want to be too stiff with Cao Cao.
Although Xiahoudun's death was related to Liu Bei, Xiahoudun committed suicide after all.
But if Xiahou Yuan is allowed to die at the hands of Tai Shici, Liu Bei, the son-in-law of the Cao family, is really a bit too much to say.
At least for now, there is still a possibility of reconciliation.
Liu Bei loves his wife very much, the so-called love house and Wu, and the relationship with the Cao family, he doesn't want to be too stiff for the time being.
After Cao's army was helplessly defeated, Liu Bei did not drive his troops to cover up, he just collected the soldiers and horses, and then withdrew his troops step by step.
After Tai Shi Ci returned to the battlefield, Liu Bei praised Tai Shi Ci a lot.
"No wonder the general would travel thousands of miles to transfer Ziyi from Liaodong to Xuzhou, I don't want Ziyi to be such a brave hero! That Xiahou Yuan is a warrior under Cao Cao, but he was only beaten by Ziyi and only had the power to parry, and Ziyi was really strong! ”
Under this praise, Tai Shici did not have the slightest sense of pride.
"The general praised too much, but Ci only did his best."
Subsequently, Liu Bei, Gao Shun, Tai Shici and others immediately returned to the army to assist Yuan Shu in gathering the remnants of the defeated army.
Although Yuan Shu was defeated this time, there were still a lot of soldiers and horses left, and there were many generals alive.
His troops and horses were scattered, but because it was originally a wandering army, the troops had almost no food and grass, and if they did not have food, they could not survive.
Therefore, Liu Bei assisted Yuan Shu to set up camp near Weishan Lake, and at the same time sent Cheng Pu and Han Dang to let his soldiers go to various villages, spreading the word that Yuan Shu recalled soldiers in Weishan Lake, and the crime of fleeing from the battle was not to blame in the past, as long as he was willing to come back, all the rations were provided.
Liu Bei's move can be described as clever, and after Yuan Shu's defeated soldiers knew the news, they came towards Weishan Lake one after another.
Within a few days, Yuan Shu gathered back most of the remnants of the defeated army.
And Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Yu She, Liang Gang, Chen Ji, Xun Zheng, Le and other generals also rushed back one after another.
After everyone saw Yuan Shu, they all cried and fell to the ground.
After Yuan Shu appeased everyone, he said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, it really makes you laugh." ”
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged on the highway, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and a little defeat is not enough to worry about!" Look for opportunities in the future, and you will definitely get revenge! ”
Liu Bei patiently comforted Yuan Shu, but to Yuan Shu's ears, it was somewhat harsh.
Yuan Shu's heart is relatively dark, so he also uses more dirty thoughts about Liu Bei to ponder him.
This Liu Bei, who won the battle by himself and raised his prestige, now deliberately said these nice things to perfunctory me, and I am afraid that I will laugh at me and laugh at me tightly!
The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed Yuan Shu's heart became, and the more unpleasant it became to look at Liu Bei.
Subsequently, Liu Bei proposed to invite Yuan Shu to return to Tancheng with him to make peace with Tao Qian, and the three soldiers and horses gathered to meet the enemy, watch Cao Cao's movements and make calculations.
Although Yuan Shu agreed, he was aggrieved in his heart.
What kind of thing is Liu Bei, who dares to command me in front of me?
……
……
Liu Bei took Yuan Shu and returned in the direction of Tancheng, while Cao Cao, after knowing Xiahou Yuan's defeat, did not blame Xiahou Yuan.
It stands to reason that this defeat was indeed caused by Xiahou Yuan.
Seeing that Liu Bei had already received Yuan Shu, Xiahou Yuan's first reaction should be to withdraw his troops immediately, rather than fight Liu Bei to the death.
Therefore, in terms of military command, Xiahou Yuan made a major mistake.
Although the use of soldiers should not be mixed with personal feelings, Cao Cao can understand Xiahou Yuan's behavior a little.
After all, it was about Xiahoudun's death, and Xiahou Yuan was anxious to avenge Xiahoudun, which was also a matter of course.
If Cao Cao was too harsh on Xiahou Yuan because of this matter, it would inevitably seem too inhumane.
So Cao Cao had a conversation with Xiahou Yuan...... A deep talk.
"Miaocai, Yuan Rang's death, this matter is not unrelated to me, it was Cao's improper command at that time that caused Yuan Rang to fall into the enemy's encirclement, giving Liu Bei and Zhao Yun a chance to take advantage of."
"But Yuan Rang didn't die in the hands of Liu Bei after all, according to Cao's judgment at the time, Liu Bei wanted to capture Yuan Rang alive and use Yuan Rang as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Cao."
"But it's a pity that Yuan Rang has a strong temperament, he is unwilling to give in, and he committed suicide in front of the three armies, Cao is sad in his heart, but he also feels gratified, Yuan Rang is unwilling to succumb to the enemy army, and committed suicide in public, which is really worthy of the heroic spirit of the ancestors of the Xiahou family."
Listening to Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Yuan's eyes turned red at that time, and tears flowed out.
"The death of Yuan Rang, how can it have anything to do with the Duke of Ming?"
"On the battlefield, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, I understand these truths, Yuan because of a moment of anger, vainly started a war with Liu Bei, it is really a violation of military law, today I am willing to be a military law, even if Ming Gong killed me, Xiahou Yuan will never complain about Ming Gong half a point."
After saying that, I saw Xiahou Yuan kneeling down towards Cao Cao in public.
Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiahou Yuan up, and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and there is no such thing as a wonderful talent, I have already ordered someone to go to Sun Jian's camp and invite Sun Jian to attack Liu Bei together." ”
"After all, Liu Xuande is the number one general under Liu Jian, please let Cao have a good meeting with him this time."
Xiahou Yuan was taken aback when he heard Cao Cao's words.
"Then Sun Jian is a general under Yuan Shao, will he obey the orders of Duke Ming and flank Liu Bei with us?"
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Sun Jian is a general under Yuan Shao, isn't my Cao Cao a general under Yuan Shao?" This time, Sun Jian will inevitably be invited to attack Liu Bei together, so that Liu Xuande will also know that it is not easy for us to be with him. ”
