The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 512 The army is not evenly united, and the geese are hesitating.

There are righteous men in the Kanto region, raising troops to fight against the gangsters...

"Ming Gong..."

All the generals outside the tent looked at Cao Cao with firm eyes.

Cao Cao didn't say a word, he clenched the sword at his waist and walked quickly out of the camp.

The new wind was blowing, blowing Cao Cao's blood all over his body even colder.

Cao Cao stepped on the horse and took a last look at the brightly lit tent. At this time, his heart had completely cooled down.

He doesn't understand, he can't figure it out, why?
He scattered all his wealth and recruited soldiers. When "A Call to the Thieves Against Dong" came out, the world moved and the heroes responded, but why did it evolve into what it is now?

They were supposed to work together to set things right and end the troubled times.

"Yuan Benchu!"

The fire light reflected in Cao Cao's eyes, and the flame that should have been burning in his heart appeared in his eyes.

Cao Cao turned his head resolutely and stopped looking at the large tent behind him.

He knew that Yuan Shao was no longer the former Yuan Benchu ​​who was in Luoyang, who walked side by side with him, sang with his sword, and could entrust great things to him.

He is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shao of the aristocratic family. He has seen endless ambitions from Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao looked up to the sky, and the sky was still full of bright stars, but the bright moon, which was supposed to shine all over the world, was hidden in the thick clouds.

"Your sword is sharp, but my sword is not bad!"

Yuan Shao's angry face in the past was still engraved in Cao Cao's heart.

It was Yuan Shao's roar and determination that inspired him and strengthened his belief.

Back in Chenliu, Cao Cao almost dispersed all the family's money, recruited more than [-] soldiers, and marched northward to respond to Yuan Shao's rebellion.

But now, just a few months later, everything has changed.

Cao Cao held the whip tightly, and kicked the horse's belly violently with both legs. The horse neighed and galloped forward.

Behind them, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and a group of cavalrymen followed Cao Cao without hesitation.

The fiery red banner rushed into the darkness, the flames dissipated, and the fiery red banner that fluttered in the wind seemed to slowly begin to merge with the darkness.

On the camp wall, a man in a crimson battle robe quietly looked at the cavalry in the distance.

"Meng De, I hope you don't blame me..."

Shuo Feng hunted, Yuan Shao withdrew his gaze, and the cavalry in the distance had completely disappeared in the darkness.

Yuan Shao walked to the inside of the camp wall and sat down slowly.

The surrounding guards were far away from him, and there were no guards standing on the walls of the camp around him.

He picked up the wine glass, picked up the jug, and slowly filled the wine glass.

When he drew his sword and confronted Dong Zhuo tit for tat in Xianyang Garden, he was also full of enthusiasm.

But the blood full of enthusiasm can't save this country, can't save this world.

He is not reconciled to be underestimated, he is not reconciled to be underestimated, he is not reconciled to be looked down upon.

Now Yuan Shu occupies the most affluent Nanyang County, the Yuan family placed a heavy bet on Yuan Shu, not Yuan Shao.

The various deeds of the Yuan family only made Yuan Shao feel that he was just the second choice to guarantee the bottom line.

It's like this again, it will always be like this, he is the son of a concubine, a concubine who will never be taken seriously.

Yuan Shao drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

He smelled of alcohol all over his body, and his eyes were full of anger.

Now he is the leader of the allied army against Dong, and all the heroes in the world are now gathered under his banner, and he is famous all over the world.

This time is the best opportunity to gain the greatest benefit, and it is also the best opportunity in Yuan Shao's life. He must not give up easily.

Fighting to the death with Dong Zhuo?
Even if he really won, but at that time he was already the master of the game. Should he be Huo Guang or Yi Yin?Or retire to live in retirement?

Dong Zhuo is powerful, and now there are [-] soldiers gathered in Luoyang.

The Xiliang Army, the Bingzhou Army, the Five Schools Sanhe, and the Xiyuan Forbidden Army are all elites, so how can their temporarily recruited generals be comparable?

Two hundred thousand troops?It sounds grand, but in fact Yuan Shao knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to beat Dong Zhuo, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking.

Dong Zhuo occupies the eight passes in Luoyang, and the probability of him defeating Dong Zhuo with these soldiers is really very small.

Once a little frustrated, these united heroes will have doubts about him as the leader, and the responsibility for the defeat will be borne by him.

It is true that he is the leader, but he is a leader who is being roasted on the fire.

Yuan Shao raised his head and looked towards the sky.

The sky is full of stars, as always, unchanged from ancient times.

"When the time comes, I will be the Taiwei, and you will be Situ..."

He still remembers sitting on the grass with Cao Cao, chatting freely about the future.

Yuan Shu was still following him at that time, pulling at the hem of his clothes, calling him brother honestly, hoping to take him out for a wander.

Yuan Shao felt his face was a little wet.

He didn't understand, he didn't understand what happened.

He didn't understand why he couldn't face Cao Cao again, and talk about his ambitions and aspirations with his old friends.

He didn't understand why the little brother Yuan Shu who was timidly hiding behind him in the past and pulling the hem of his clothes turned into what he is now.

But now, he doesn't have the face to question others, because he has also changed...

He is no longer the Yuan Benchu ​​who dared to scold injustice with his sword in the past, nor is he the passionate Yuan Shao who dared to draw his sword and confront Dong Zhuo tit for tat when all the officials were silent.

The destruction of the Yuan family in Luoyang did not make Yuan Shao feel sad at all, and even felt a little happy.

Yuan Shao stood up slowly, his gaze gradually became firm.

The respect of the Three Dukes and the position of the Nine Ministers, in the past, they were extremely respected and envied by everyone.

Today's Sangong is dismissed arbitrarily, everyone in Jiuqing is in danger, and Shangshu is just a tube for spreading the word.

The prestige of the Han Dynasty was lost, and Yuan Shao saw an opportunity.

The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have disciples and old officials all over the world, even if he Yuan Shao became the respected three princes, so what?

After all, it is still the same achievement as the predecessors, trembling and frightened, walking with difficulty, like walking on a single-plank bridge.

Now that Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and there are many heroes in the world, Yuan Shao sees an opportunity, an opportunity to surpass his predecessors.

"Han Fu..."

Yuan Shao looked towards the east, the current Jizhou Mu is also an old official of the Yuan family.

Jizhou is very rich, with a population of several million. The people are rich and prosperous, and the army and food are abundant. It is a state of kings and overlords.

And the most important thing is that Lu Zhi was seriously ill in the past, when he was sent to Luoyang, he did not bring the Xiyuan imperial army with him.

Now the three battalions of the Xiyuan Forbidden Army are all in the hands of Mu Hanfu of Jizhou.

Although the Third Battalion of the Forbidden Army suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Jizhou, they still have good combat power.

This time Yuan Shao led troops from Bohai County to Hanoi County, and found an excuse to second a battalion of soldiers from Han Fu on the way.

A stern look appeared in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he sneered.

Han Fu is just a mediocre person, and the land of Jizhou should belong to him, Yuan Shao, not Han Fu.

But soon Jizhou will change hands, and a big net has been woven, slowly covering Han Fu's head, but Han Fu still doesn't know it.

……

July [-]th.

Cao Cao Yu Suanzao again discussed sending troops, but the proposal was rejected by most of the other county guards and state shepherds.

Most of them were not in favor of a decisive battle with Dong Zhuo. As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao hadn't attacked yet, but they attacked all the way alone, and the chances of winning were not great.

Among the princes, only Cao Cao's old friend Jibei Minister Bao Xin was willing to send troops to help.

July [-].

Cao Cao gathered all his troops and horses, and the whole army was dispatched, leaving no one behind, a total of [-] people
Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, also led the whole army to respond, with [-] soldiers.

Cao Cao swore to the west of Suanzao and set off to fight. Hearing the news of Cao Cao's battle, there were still many soldiers, righteous men, and rangers joining the army along the way.

Cao Cao accepted them one by one, and by the time he reached Zhongmou, Cao Cao had more than [-] people under his command.

On July [-]th, at four quarters of the hour (eight o'clock).

Cao Cao watched as the horses were being pulled, and they would arrive in Xingyang in just over half an hour.

Just as Cao Cao was observing the terrain, a travel-worn messenger suddenly galloped up, bringing a piece of news that made Cao Cao a little frightened.

"General Qi, the front of our army was ambushed by Dong Zhuo's army!"

Cao Cao didn't hesitate, and immediately asked eagerly: "How many people are there in Dong Zhuo's army?"

He knew that the more hesitation, the more danger ahead.

They had to win this battle. He knew the main reason why all the princes, including Yuan Shao, hesitated to go forward.

Dong Zhuo is powerful, and his troops are strong and strong. They don't have the confidence to defeat Dong Zhuo.

But as long as this battle is won, in the eyes of everyone, Dong Zhuo will be a piece of fat, not a hungry wolf.

At that time, the Kwantung heroes who smelled the taste of flesh and blood will march into Luoyang for profit.

As long as this battle is won, the Kwantung Allied Forces who have no confidence will think that Dong Zhuo is weak and can be defeated.

"A rough observation shows that Dong Zhuo's army is ambushed by tens of thousands of people, and there are soldiers coming from far away. The banner of the opposing general is Dong Zhuo's Zhonglang General Xu Rong!"

The military situation is urgent, and there is no room for hesitation.

Cao Cao drew out the sword from his waist without hesitation, and roared angrily.

"Here's an order from the big banner. This battle is of great importance. There is death but no life, and there is no retreat! If you win, I, Cao Mengde, will show my merits in front of the emperor. If you lose, I, Cao Mengde, will die together with you!!!"

"Go on!"

Cao Cao held a long sword and went out first, and all the armored cavalry behind Cao Cao galloped out.

The command of the Chinese army was handed over to Bao Xin by Cao Cao, and a group of generals galloped forward following Cao Cao's banner.

The front was ambushed and was probably on the verge of collapse at this time.

He, Cao Cao, is not a master of the art of war, he is not Lu Zhi who can command troops to retreat without being defeated, nor is he Xu An who can easily boost the morale of soldiers.

He can only use actions to encourage the soldiers under his command. He can only let the banner appear on the battlefield to let everyone know that their lord has not abandoned them, but is also fighting with them, strengthening their determination.

The earth receded rapidly under the horseshoes of the war horses, and the fierce battlefield was getting closer and closer before Cao Cao's eyes.

In just an instant, Cao Cao judged the general situation.

Although the front was ambushed, the army formation has not been completely defeated. It seems that Dong Zhuojun's ambush was discovered in time, and the loss was not too heavy.

Cao Cao had already given up his sword and replaced it with a horse lance. Cao Chun and Cao Ren also held horse lances and followed Cao Cao closely.

Looking back leisurely, I saw the heads of countless horses were heaving and moving, the manes of the horses were flying wildly in the strong wind, and countless knights raised their weapons and shouted "mighty!".

Amidst the tide-like sound of iron hooves, billows of smoke and dust were brought up, and they soared to the sky!

The glare of the sun made Cao Cao close his eyes, and in a daze, Cao Cao seemed to be back on Guangzong's battlefield.

Back to the time when they worked together.

"kill!!!"

Cao Cao opened his eyes again, revealing the murderous intent in his pupils.

More than [-] elite cavalry under the leadership of Cao Cao slammed into the flank of Dong Zhuo's army who had no time to turn to defense.

On the hill, Xu Rong looked at Cao Cao who had rushed into the formation but showed no signs of panic.

In fact, the outcome of this war has been doomed from the very beginning, and everything is doomed to be futile.

In the eyes of the generals of the Xiliang Army, the Kwantung Allied Army is nothing more than a chicken and a dog.

The flag was waved, and a series of general orders came from Xu Rong's mouth.

Group after group of soldiers of the Xiliang army in black clothes and armor continuously joined the battlefield, but in the distance of the main battlefield, no one noticed that the two Xiliang cavalry were galloping forward.

……

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The drums of the Xiliang Army became more and more passionate.

The helmet on Cao Cao's head had already been lost somewhere, the blood stained his robe, and the blood dripped on his temples, condensing his hair into several balls.

Cao Chun rushed forward desperately, leading Cao Cao forward.

Now there are only a dozen soldiers left by Cao Cao's side.

The situation on the battlefield was unfavorable, and they retreated steadily. Cao Chun led Cao Cao to break out of the siege, but Xu Rong had already set up a trap at the place of retreat, waiting for Cao Cao to jump into the trap.

They lost...

The disparity in strength was too great, and Dong Zhuo's army gradually increased its troops.

Under the command of Xu Rong, more than [-] soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army, like precision instruments, continuously attacked their army formation, so that they could not get the slightest rest.

The entire army was divided into several pieces, and the head and the tail could not look at each other.

The two Xiliang cavalry circled behind also made the soldiers below extremely fearful, and morale plummeted under this situation.

From Chenshi to Youshi, they persisted for more than five hours, which is actually a miracle.

The disparity in strength was incomparable, Bao Xin was not Xu Rong's opponent at all in the military strategy, and Xu Rong sent troops to break down one army formation after another.

Cao Cao personally went into battle and led the cavalry to rescue everywhere, but still had little effect.

I can only watch helplessly as one of the army formations on my side is broken.

Watching those rangers, heroes, and soldiers who had defected to him with their knives and guns turned into cold corpses, lying on the extremely dirty land.

Those soldiers who defected to him along the road because of admiration, righteous men, and rangers, none of them retreated. They stood tightly side by side, facing the brave Xiliang soldiers, they did not flinch, and they were worthy of their beliefs.

"I said that in this battle, there is no retreat, no death, and I said that Cao Mengde will die with my soldiers!!"

Cao Cao pushed Cao Chun away and roared angrily.

The arrow wound on his shoulder made Cao Cao's expression even more ferocious.

At this time, Cao Cao had seven or eight feathered arrows on his body. If Cao Cao was not wearing heavy armor, he would have been killed in the battle.

But even so, two feathered arrows shot into the flesh, causing Cao Cao to feel extremely painful every time he moved.

"Kill out, kill out, then avenge me again!!!"

Cao Cao roared angrily, he is now a burden.

Their war horses were already dead in the battle, and there was no other way. Although Cao Chun was brave, it was impossible for him to fight out with his burden.

Cao Chun didn't speak, he held Cao Cao silently, holding the ring-shoulder knife, and led his bodyguards to continue forward with difficulty, no matter how Cao Cao roared, but Cao Chun didn't have the slightest intention to let go.

"Kick kick kick..."

The rapid sound of hoofbeats suddenly sounded, and Cao Cao's eyes showed despair, but then he felt a little relaxed again.

Perhaps it is also a good choice to die on the battlefield like this.

Suddenly, a bloody rain emerged.

The expected death did not come.

A blood-stained general rushed into the formation, frightening like a ghost crawling out of the underworld.

It was Cao Hong who led the troops to arrive and killed Dong Zhuo's army who were besieging them.

"kill!!!"

Before everyone could recover, the louder shouts of killing sounded again.

It was Dong Zhuojun who came to kill again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Hong stepped off the horse in one step, and asked Cao Cao to get on the horse quickly.

Fighting all the way, all the generals under his command have lost their horses and become infantry. Only Cao Hong's horse, which is wearing a light vest, has not fallen down yet.

"I can't get on the horse, I said yes."

Cao Cao's eyes were red, he was determined and refused to mount his horse.

Bao Xin's younger brother Bao Tao died trying to save him, and Wei Zi, who assisted him in raising troops, also died in battle. If Cao Chun and Cao Hong also died here, how could he have the face to meet his elders.

Die here, can be regarded as an explanation.

Cao Hong's eyes were about to burst, and he roared, "This world can live without me, Cao Hong, but it cannot live without you, Cao Mengde! Only if you kill us can you avenge us!"

Cao Hong didn't let Cao Cao say anything, and helped Cao Cao onto the horse with Cao Chun.

Cao Hong swung his whip and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse took Cao Cao away in pain.

"Zi Lian!"

Cao Cao's heart was bleeding, but he didn't dare to stop his horse. Xu Rong's arrangement had already been killed. If he didn't leave now, none of them might be able to leave by then.

Cao Hong took one last look at Cao Cao's leaving back, with a smile on his face.

He and Cao Chun looked at each other, and saw the smile on Cao Chun's face.

"Zheng-"

Cao Hong slowly pulled out the Huan Shou Dao at his waist, and Cao Ren also held the big halberd handed by the soldier beside him.

Beside him, dozens of personal guards, each holding a weapon, were tightly packed together, clinging to each other.

In front of them, there seemed to be endless soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army swarming towards them with swords and guns held high. The sound of dense and hurried footsteps was as loud as the raging tide, and the shouts of the waves were higher than the waves, like the sky. The thunder is generally terrifying.
