Chapter 261: The complacent Yuan Shao and Liu Bei
As Gao Shun cut down the one, on the city wall, the soldiers of Yuan Shao's defenders cried loudly.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but turn his head at this time, looked over, and burst into tears.
Looking at the soldiers behind him, Zhao Yun said in a trembling voice: "Come on, collect the bones of these soldiers and bury them together." β
"They died together when they were alive."
"After death, let them be together under the Yellow Spring, so that they will not be lonely."
The soldiers stepped forward.
Zhao Yun raised his head, took a few deep breaths, and then looked at the city wall, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers on the city wall, put down your weapons and come down from the city wall." β
"From now on, as long as you don't pick up your weapons, you'll be free."
The soldiers of Yuan Shao's defenders on the city wall put down their weapons one after another and walked down the city wall crying.
Zhao Yun waved his hand.
An army of 40,000 entered the city in an orderly manner and took over the plain city.
After Zhao Yun entered the city, he immediately sent people to join forces with the cavalry to cut off Zhang Xiu, who was returning from the rear of Pingyuan City.
Zhang Xiu got the order and led 5,000 cavalry straight to Yecheng.
This trip to Yecheng to siege the city is fake.
It's true to make a look of the upcoming siege of Yecheng.
When Zhang Xiu led the cavalry to Yecheng, Zhang Fei had already arrived at Yecheng.
Now the one in charge of guarding Yecheng is Yuan Shao's strategists.
The judge once served the Taiwei Chen Li, and his temper was quite strong and unyielding of the righteous men of Hebei.
From Zhang Fei, who hurried back, he learned that Zhao Yun led the army to attack the plain, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.
Immediately, he ordered the city defense army on rotation, as well as the major families in the city, to catch up with the city wall as quickly as possible.
In the afternoon, they saw a storm of dust rising from the horizon.
Thousands of iron horsemen galloped like a whirlwind and clouds.
These thousands of iron riders hung the "Zhang" flag.
It was a 5,000-strong iron cavalry led by Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu led the iron cavalry to stop on the edge of the moat.
The soldiers of the Yuan army on the city wall looked at the mighty cavalry, and they trembled with fright.
Overlooking the outside of the city, he took out a bow and arrows from behind him, bent the bow and arrows, and shot towards Zhang Xiu is head, and said coldly: "What are you afraid of?" As long as we don't open the city gate, with their group of cavalry, can we still attack the city gate? β
The arrow landed not far in front of Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted, picked up the arrows, and said to the soldiers of Yuan Shao's army on the city wall with a smile: "Listen to the soldiers of Yuan Shao on the city wall, the plain has been taken by our Jiangdong army!" β
"Now, I'm just a pioneer to inform my family."
"I, Jiangdong, sent 140,000 troops from Xuzhou, and I have taken the plain, beheaded your plain commander Guan Yu, and captured all the soldiers."
The soldiers of Yuan Shao's army on the city wall suddenly exploded.
Guan Yu is dead?
The plains were taken?
An army of 140,000 is coming?
Oh, my God!
This Yecheng city defense army plus the major family tribes will not exceed 40,000!
How to deal with it?
The judge's face was also slightly pale.
An army of 140,000?
Is Koto crazy?
There are so many troops dispatched this time!
However, according to the previous intelligence, Koto should not have made such a large-scale sortie.
They simply don't have the financial resources to send such an army!
Looking at the frightened looks of the soldiers around him, the judge secretly screamed in his heart.
Few of these people are actually soldiers who fight on the battlefield.
Many people are the children of a family who have lived all their lives.
They will definitely find a way to inform the great armies fighting on the front line.
At that time, the army at the front will most likely return!
Yuan Gong had told himself before that he had united with Ma Chao, the prince of Guanzhong, and others to attack Cao Cao from the west road.
Could it beβ
The judge hissed, and hurriedly sneered at Zhang Xiu outside the city: "Nonsense, where did the 140,000 troops in Jiangdong come from?" Where did the 140,000 army come from! It's okay to deceive others, to deceive us, to be delusional! β
"I estimate that you only have an army of 10,000 or 20,000 at most."
looked at the soldiers around him, and scolded: "What are you nervous about? I thought it was a big deal, but it was just a group of cavalry attacking the plains. β
"Guan Yu, the commander of the plains, has never heard of his reputation before, but he is a meritorious man proposed by Liu Bei's flattering generation, and he has no ability, I have long persuaded the lord that he cannot be appointed, the lord is confused by Liu Bei, and if he doesn't listen to me, there will be this disaster!"
"Everything was expected."
"I'm matching, how can Guan Yu be compared?"
"Let's all go down the city wall and go back to playing!"
"For the rest, just let me do it."
"As long as you listen to my judgment and command, I will ensure that this group of Jiangdong rats is just muttering."
The generals looked at the trial suspiciously.
But watching the judge humming a little song, he left gracefully, and the generals still left with doubts.
Zhang Xiu looked at the soldiers on the city wall not only not nervous, but all left, and suddenly wondered.
But it doesn't matter, his mission is accomplished.
For the rest of the day, I kept coming and going around to scare them.
The junior brother will soon come with reinforcements to scare them.
As for why you do this, that's not your business.
Besides, the judge went all the way down the city wall and returned to the mansion, so he hurriedly ordered his nephew to guard the city wall, always paying attention to the changes in the enemy army outside the city.
And he himself immediately repaired a letter to Yuan Shao in front of him, asking Yuan Shao not to be too concerned about Yecheng here.
Although Yecheng was attacked by the enemy, he could rely on the city's high defenses, as well as the city defense army and the major family tribes to support it for a long time.
In addition, there are various nearby counties that can increase the number of personnel.
The top priority is to attack Cao Cao with Ma Chao, the prince of Guanzhong, and others, and win the capital in one battle!
After taking Xudu and destroying Cao Cao, he sent an army to attack Xuzhou.
And he is now writing letters to the counties of Youzhou and Jizhou, asking them to prepare their soldiers.
Once Yuan Shao's army took Xudu and attacked Xuzhou, the soldiers of the counties of Youzhou and Jizhou quickly gathered together and pinned down Jiangdong, a large army that had already captured the plain, from all directions, so that this Jiangdong army could not return to Xuzhou.
At that time, taking Xuzhou is also a matter of raising hands.
After writing the letter, the review immediately asked people to send the letter to the front line urgently.
Guandu.
Yuan Shao's army, under the strategy of frustration, crossed the Yellow River, camped step by step, camped for five miles, and bombarded Cao Cao's camp in front with arrow towers and catapults.
At the same time, cavalry was sent around to the flanks and constantly harassed Cao's army.
The combined forces of Cao Jun and Huang Gai were forced to retreat again and again.
First, they simply did not have a strong cavalry to deal with the harassment of Yuan Shao's cavalry.
Second, Yuan Shao's frontal army was several times larger than that of Cao Cao and Huang Gai's coalition army.
Moreover, there are too many of their arrow towers and catapults.
Cao Cao was not safe in this regard, so he could only be beaten passively and constantly retreated.
Pang Tong went crazy.
Yuan Shao's army was obviously several times stronger, but it was so cautious.
He could only hope that Wuhou Lu Yi would reinforce the craftsmen and use thunderbolts to fight the enemy.
And Yuan Shao's army is handsome.
Yuan Shao was drinking a little wine with hundreds of civil and military officials, with a graceful face.
Liu Bei is also proud of the spring breeze at the moment.
For the first time since Zhuojun raised troops, he led cavalry, and it was 4,000 cavalry!
He and Zhang He each led the cavalry, harassing Cao Cao and Huang Gai's allied forces from time to time from the left and right.
Every day, I don't know how leisurely.
Yuan Shao looked at the excited appearance of the generals, and said with a smile: "Qiantian Feng tried hard to persuade me to form an alliance with Cao Cao and Jiangdong, and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, otherwise I will definitely lose." β
"How's it going? Hahaha! β
The generals laughed.
Only the frustrated professor lowered his head and drank the wine in small sips, while secretly sad.
This lord is chilling.
Not to mention anything else, just this step by step, the harassment of the cavalry on both sides is what Tian Feng let himself tell the lord before his death!
However, at this moment, he no longer wanted to refute.
Yuan Shao led the generals to giggle for a while, and then ordered the army to march five miles again, set up camp, and then go back to rest.
Liu Bei said goodbye to Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Guo Yuan and others, and returned to the camp alone.
Lying on the bed, with his hands on the back of his head, Liu Bei sighed.
How long has it been?
I've never fought such a good battle.
When Ma's super army attacked from the west, Cao Cao was completely finished.
When the time comes, the army will go south to capture Jiangdong, and then take Yizhou.
The whole world will be unified.
Now as one of Yuan Shao's trusted generals, he has an unlimited future in the future.
Maybe, be a general or something.
The scene of being named a general came to mind, and Liu Bei's smiling face gradually filled with sadness and regret.
Pity.
Just the Great General.
In the past, he wanted to emulate Emperor Guangwu.
After all, it is beyond our reach.
When also?
Luck also?
Fate?
In a daze, Liu Bei felt that his eyelids were very heavy.
He couldn't help but fall asleep.
It didn't seem to have slept for long, and Liu Bei woke up.
It's a bit cold all around.
Some are exceptionally quiet.
Liu Bei got up from the bed in confusion and walked out of the tent.
The sky was pitch black.
The cool breeze is swishing.
The dim light was a little cold.
There were still soldiers patrolling around, but there was no sound unexpectedly.
Liu Bei's expression was a little vigilant, holding the hilts of the double swords at his waist, and he walked towards a group of patrol soldiers, about to ask about this strangeness.
Suddenly, a voice sounded, "Big brother." β
The voiceβ
Liu Bei hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw that behind him, Guan Yu was looking at him motionless.
Liu Bei was taken aback and said, "Second brother, you are not stationed in the plains, what are you doing here?" Do you know how important plains are? In case the plains are lost, the consequences are unimaginable! β
Guan Yu said quietly: "Big brother, you have really become Yuan Shao's general, and everything you think about is Yuan Shao's business." β
Liu Bei let go of his hands holding the hilts of the double swords, and said with a wry smile: "Second brother, I said it earlier, and I don't want to do this. β
"But the situation is here."
"Now Yuan Shao is destined to return."
"You see that Cao Cao and Huang Gai's coalition forces have no power to fight back against him at all!"
"Now Yuan Shao has united with Ma Chao, and he wants to attack Cao Cao and Huang Gai's coalition forces on both sides."
"As soon as Ma Chao arrives, Cao Cao and Jiangdong will be finished."
"When the time comes, the world will be unified, what's the use of me being stubborn?"
"Don't keep complaining that I'm not like I used to be."
"But if there is any possibility, I, Liu Bei, am such a person who gives up so easily?"
"Today, this world is the world of the scholars."
"Even if I have the title of imperial uncle, do you think which scholar clan supports me?"
"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!"
Guan Yuqiang laughed and said, "Everything, it's up to you to decide, big brother!" I can only follow my eldest brother here. β
"The third brother is quite reckless, eldest brother, you should restrain him more in the future, otherwise, I am worried that he will be harmed by the villain."
Liu Bei was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" β
Guan Yu looked at Liu Bei quietly, let out a long sigh, and his figure gradually disappeared.
Liu Bei hurriedly ran over and was about to grab Guan Yu.
However, he dragged it into the air.
Liu Bei looked around and said in a panic: "Second brother! Second brother! What do you mean by that? What does it mean to not be able to follow me? Our three brothers have sworn and sworn were! Second brother! Second brother! β
Suddenly, the situation in front of Liu Bei's eyes changed.
Liu Bei opened his eyes and looked at the camp tent above his head, feeling a little sad, lost and panicked.
It turned out that it was just a dream.
But he was a little immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.
After a while, he sighed, got up from the bed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked out of the tent.
Outside, the campfire crackled.
Patrol soldiers went back and forth.
Liu Bei shook his head, and kept thinking about the sympathetic and regretful look on the face of his second brother Guan Yu in the dream.
Turning back to the camp tent, Liu Bei knelt in front of the desk, picked up the brush, and prepared to write a letter to Guan Yu, asking him about his current situation, so that he could keep the plain alive.
Before the pen was written, a voice sounded outside: "General Liu, the lord has an urgent order, and all the generals will gather in the handsome tent!" β
