I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 228, Killing and punishing the heart

Niu Fu sneered and said, "Cao Cao is obviously a person who doesn't know the current affairs. After he is the eunuch, he is still on Yuan Shao's side. Doesn't he know that Yuan Shao almost killed his whole family!"

When Yuan Shao was in Luoyang City, he really slaughtered all the people related to the eunuch party, even Xu Xiang and Fan Ling who were scholars were slaughtered by Yuan Shao. Just because they took refuge in Zhang, they were slaughtered. It can be seen how determined the gentry were to wipe out the eunuchs at that time, even killing their own people!

And Cao Cao's grandfather was a member of the eunuch party, but he had a close relationship with the nobles, and his father Cao Song became a captain, but unfortunately he was dismissed in less than a month. Cao Song It was because of this experience that I noticed the undercurrent in Luoyang City, and I might be implicated by party disputes at any time, so I took the whole family back to my hometown, and I escaped the catastrophe!If Cao Song was in Luoyang City at that time, he might have been killed by Yuan Shao!
Guo Si sneered and said, "That's not necessarily the case. The Cao family was originally a wall. When the Eunuch Party was powerful, he helped the scholars. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were younger. The Cao family could not perish just because of this relationship. It’s just that Cao Cao was in a daze, because he played well with Yuan Shao and the others, he really regarded himself as a scholar, forgetting that he was from the eunuch party, and it is impossible for scholars to look up to him. Look! Cao Cao will definitely Be cast aside by scholars!"

Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "What do you say so much, Cao Cao has helped us a lot. The 5 troops were sent to Ben Xiang's lips, and Ben Xiang swallowed his [-] troops. See if Yuan Shao's main force is gone. He doesn't have the courage to continue to fight against the truth! The whole army is dispatched! The truth is going to face the coalition forces in person!"

After thinking for a while, Dong Zhuo said to Tian Yi: "Bring King Hongli along, and I'll see if the effect of King Hongli is as obvious as Lei Gong said!"

Tian Yi smiled and said, "No! This subordinate also wants to prove his innocence as much as King Hongli!"

Liu Bian was terrified to death during this period, after all, he was a child from the palace, and his political sensitivity was very high.

When he knew that Yuan Shao had rebelled in his own name, he greeted Yuan Shao's family, and he was always in fear every day, for fear that Dong Zhuo would give him a glass of poisoned wine and kill himself. Yue Dan was frightened and lost 30 jins, and the weight continued to drop, and soon she looked like a disaster victim in this world.

Dong Zhuo's subordinates also laughed when they heard this. They also wanted to see how the Kwantung Allied Forces faced King Hongli. It wasn't that they thought Yuan Shao and the others would really surrender, but they hated the hypocrisy of the Kwantung clan. Expose their painted skin, even if it doesn't hurt them much, but their mood will be much better!
Niu Fu laughed and said, "It seems that you have to show mercy. If he really defeats Cao Cao's army, we won't be able to see their hypocritical expressions!"

These words made everyone burst into laughter again!
On the other side, Dong Zhuo's vanguard, Li Jue, soon met Cao Cao's army!
Li Jue was naturally complacent and said: "Brothers, get ready, the Kwantung Allied Forces have appeared, we will kill them all and bleed like a river!"

The soldiers around him raised their sabers and shouted excitedly: "The blood flows like a river, the blood flows like a river!"

Li Jue's subordinates are all veterans of hundreds of battles. When Dong Zhuo formed the Feixiong Army, he transferred all of his most elite subordinates to the Feixiong Army. This combat effectiveness can be imagined. Li Jue is proud of himself every day now. up.

Even the little soldiers of the Feixiong Army keep their eyes on the sky when they meet other colleagues.In the Han Dynasty, at least officers of the Sima rank have the financial resources to wear iron armor, and not everyone can wear it. That is to say, their equipment is already at the level of a mid-level officer, and the soldiers are all complacent. Soldiers, the Flying Bear Army can be described as majestic, and they don't look down on soldiers in leather armor at all.Veterans like them can deeply feel the combat effectiveness that this set of armor brings to them.

At the same time, Cao Cao's scouts also discovered Li Jue's army!The two sides met less than 30 miles away, and the war could be said to be on the verge of breaking out.

Xiahou Dun was worried when he heard that the enemy was the Feixiong Army, "Meng De, this is Dong Zhuo's Feixiong Army, the most elite unit of the Xiliang Army, it's not easy to fight!"

Xiahou Dun can ignore Xiliang soldiers, but he can't ignore the 5000 sets of armor.

Cao Cao also squinted his eyes, recalling the information about Feixiong's army. This is simply an army piled up with money. Cao Cao's 1 army could not find 100 sets of armor, while the opposite side had 5000 sets!
Even if Cao Cao became the cavalry captain of the Northern Army at the beginning, his subordinates were also the most elite Sanhe cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and his subordinates were also wearing leather armor!The iron armor was only equipped by the small rich, and then Cao Cao thought that the 5000 sets of iron armor were obtained by Dong Zhuo who gave up Shangdang County, and he couldn't stop his anger: "Dong Zhuo is indeed a national thief!"

Then Cao Cao shouted: "The whole army stops! Defend on the spot!"

The tens of thousands of troops stopped advancing immediately, and began to change from a marching column to a fighting horizontal column.

Then he said to the hundreds of Xia Houyuan: "Miao Cai, you should hurry up and inform Bao Xin and the others that we have encountered Dong Zhuo's flying bear army. If we can wipe out this army with 5 people, Dong Zhuo will be cut off." arm!"

Xia Houyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry Mengde, I will notify them as soon as possible!"

After Xia Houyuan finished speaking, he galloped towards the rear at full speed!

Cao Hong, who was beside Cao Cao, heard the name of the Feixiong Army, and drooled at the thought of 5000 sets of iron armor: "A piece of iron armor is worth 10 yuan, and these people's armor alone is worth 5 million yuan. With the income from the state treasury, it’s no wonder Dong Zhuo is willing to give up Shangdang County, the deal is worth it!”

Because of these 5000 sets of armor and Shangdang County, the name of the Feixiong Army has spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty. Everyone knows that Dong Zhuo has changed 5000 sets of armor from Shangdang County. To denounce Dong Zhuo!

When Cao Cao heard this, he whipped Cao Hong angrily and said, "How can the land of the great man be bought and sold at will, if Dong Zhuo is not eliminated, the world will be in trouble!"

Cao Ren laughed and said, "Zi Lian is a money fanatic. I'm afraid the money has blinded his eyes, so he would talk nonsense, but Zi Lian is right in saying that this batch of iron armor is a huge fortune. If we annihilate the Flying Bear Army here and seize these iron armors, we can’t distribute them to Zhang Miao and the others. They don’t know how to fight at all. It’s a waste to give them the iron armor. Why not give it to us, so that our soldiers’ combat effectiveness can at least be improved. More than double!"

Of course Cao Ren knew how powerful the Feixiong Army was, but they had 5 troops here, one out of ten. Cao Ren didn't think they would fail, and he had even begun to put his spoils among the armor of the Feixiong Army.

Xiahou Dun said vigilantly: "Don't let your guard down, the army. The Xiliang army is already unparalleled in combat power, and now it is even more powerful with this batch of iron armor. I'm afraid we may not be able to stay with them! Besides, Dong Zhuo's main force is not in the Feixiong army. In the distance, if we are negligent, we may be the ones who lose the battle!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard Cao Ren's words. If he had this large army in his hands, there would be so much he could do. He could defeat Dong Zhuo, break through Hulao Pass, and enter Luoyang City to rescue His Majesty!
Cao Cao originally wanted to have a small battle with Dong Zhuo to frustrate Dong Zhuo's spirit, but now he wants to wipe out this flying bear army to improve the strength of his army!
Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "How can we wipe out this army?"

Xiahou Dun saw that Cao Cao was really moved, and persuaded him: "Dong Zhuo's main force will not be 30 miles away from the Feixiong Army at most. At this distance, Dong Zhuo can get there in half a day, and with the fighting power of the Feixiong Army, it can last for half a day. It will be dangerous at that time." It's us!"

After Cao Cao heard this, he said: "It is necessary to make a plan!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and said to Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, I have something to talk to Meng Zhuo and the others. You will lead the army first. Try not to fight Dong Zhuo's army. Wait until I come over!"

Xiahoudun had no choice but to nod, and took over the command of the army!
Then Cao Cao hurriedly found Zhang Miao and others!

"Congratulations, Dong Zhuo's vanguard is his newly formed Flying Bear Army. This is one of Dong Zhuo's two most elite armies. If we completely wipe out this Flying Bear Army, the Xiliang Army will be seriously injured!"

Zhang Miao asked strangely, "Are there many people in the Flying Bear Army? It would actually hurt Dong Zhuo's vitality?"

Bao Dao said: "There are not many people, only 5000 people, but this army is the only full-armored battalion of the big man. The people in the army are Xiliang soldiers who are Dong Zhuo's confidantes. If we can really annihilate them, Dong Zhuo will be in great pain! This army is extremely powerful and difficult to fight!"

The commander here is only Cao Cao and he has combat experience. He even led the cavalry to Xiliang to fight. Naturally, he knows that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers are powerful in battle. Now with this iron armor, the combat effectiveness of 5000 soldiers is comparable to that of 2 to 3 troops.

But Zhang Miao and the others had never fought a battle, so naturally they didn't know the difference. They only heard that the Feixiong Army was Dong Zhuo's confidantes. They don't understand the equipment, they only understand a simple arithmetic problem, the Flying Bear Army has only 5000 people, and they have 5 troops,
Even in the art of war, it is said to be surrounded by 10 times, not to mention that the Feixiong army has no city to defend, ten to one, this battle is stable!
So Zhang Miao said with a smile: "What else is there to say? Since Dong Zhuo can die in agony, we will wipe out this Feixiong army and let Dong Zhuo see the might of our Kwantung coalition army!"

Bao Xin immediately stopped him and said: "Although the Feixiong Army has only 5000 people, it must have Dong Zhuo's main force behind it. This is a 3.5 Xiliang soldier. If we encircle and wipe out the Feixiong Army, Dong Zhuo will bring his main force." If we are not careful, we will be beaten and defeated. I have been to Xiliang, and the combat effectiveness of Xiliang soldiers is not comparable to that of Central Plains soldiers!"

Cao Cao said to himself: "As long as we have an army that goes straight to the rear of the Feixiong army and cuts off Dong Zhuo's support, it won't take too long. Just half a day is enough for us to wipe out the Feixiong army!"

Zhang Miao and the others looked at each other. They are pure-hearted scholars who don't know how to fight at all. If you want them to go straight behind the enemy, they don't have the guts to do such a thing!

Cao Cao naturally knew this too, he pulled Bao Xin and said with a smile: "Yuncheng, only you can take on the heavy responsibility of going straight behind the enemy's rear. You must know that our Kwantung Allied Army has never had a great record since its formation. If this time Annihilating the Feixiong Army will definitely boost the morale of the entire army, and even lift up the hearts of the entire Han Dynasty, letting them know that Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers are not invincible! At that time, more prefects of counties and counties will join in the crusade against Dong Zhuo in the face."

Cao Cao took Bao Xin's hand and said sincerely: "You have a great responsibility, which is related to whether we can defeat Dong Zhuo's army!"

Bao Xin was not cheated by Dong Zhuo in Xiliang, knowing that Dong Zhuo was an out-and-out warlord-like warrior, he persuaded Yuan Shao to attack and kill Dong Zhuo.He said to Yuan Shao: "Dong Zhuo is holding a large army now, and he must have evil intentions. If we don't take advantage of the opportunity, we will suffer in the future. If we attack him when he has just arrived in the capital and the soldiers are tired, we will definitely be able to capture Dong Zhuo."

But the Yuan family wanted Dong Zhuo to make black gloves at that time, so it was naturally impossible to kill Dong Zhuo.

Bao Xin knew that Dong Zhuo would definitely become a disaster for the great man. After Yuan Shao refused to listen to his words, he led his troops back to his hometown. This time he brought out [-] soldiers, [-] cavalrymen, and [-] vehicles carrying food and grass supplies. Many vehicles, can be said to be the most well-prepared princes!
After Cao Cao said this, Bao Xin felt that he had a great responsibility, so he said: "I will take 5000 soldiers to stop Dong Zhuo's main force, and I will leave it to you, Meng De!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Don't worry Yuncheng, I will wipe out the Feixiong army to boost the morale of the coalition army!"

After the two discussed it, Bao Xin led 5000 soldiers around Li Jue and marched towards Dong Zhuo's main force!
And Cao Cao led Zhang Miao's army and quickly caught up with his army!
Then the 4.5 troops formed nine phalanxes mightily!

And Li Jue also launched his flying bear army into an offensive formation.

He shouted loudly to his soldiers: "Brothers, the Prime Minister has given us the best equipment and the best treatment. Now is the time to repay the Prime Minister and kill all the rebels in the Kanto region for this general!"

The soldiers of the Flying Bear Army shouted: "Kill all the rebels!"

Zhang Miao and others were shocked by the momentum of the Feixiong army, Qiao Mao whispered: "The Xiliang army is so strong, can we defeat them?"

Yuan Yi said: "No matter how strong they are, our soldiers are nine times as strong as theirs. How can we not be their opponents!"

Cao Cao sneered when he saw the high morale of the Feixiong army: "The trapped beasts are still fighting, let's see how I swallow them!"

"Order Xiahou Dun to lead an army of 1 to attack the left flank of the Feixiong Army, order Wei Zi to lead an army of 1 to attack the right flank of the Feixiong Army, and order Xiahou Yuan to lead an army of [-] to attack the Feixiong Army head-on."

Then Cao Cao smiled at Zhang Miao and the others: "We surround the flying bear army on three sides, unless Li Jue really has wings, otherwise he won't be able to escape!"

But in the face of Cao Cao's three-sided siege, Li Jue ignored the armies on his left and right, but the whole army went straight to Xia Houyuan's central army!

As soon as soldiers from the two sides fought, Xia Houyuan's central army was beaten back by Li Jue's Flying Bear Army even though it had twice as many soldiers as Li Jue. However, the Feixiong army in Li Jue's hands were all veterans who had been in the army for several years, and the two sides were even worse in equipment. Xia Houyuan's only advantage was the large number of people.

But Xia Houyuan himself is also a new soldier with little command experience at all, while Li Jue is a veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years. His Flying Bear Army is constantly interspersed into Xia Houyuan's army with small teams, constantly dividing Xia Houyuan's army into one Small pieces, small pieces, and then gobble up.

When Xiahouyuan's army met the Feixiong army, it was like ice and snow meeting the sun, melting quickly. The two sides fought for less than half an hour before Xiahouyuan's army collapsed!Even if Xia Houyuan brought his personal guards and kept killing deserters, they couldn't stop the trend of defeat!

Li Jue kept killing the soldiers of the coalition army with a saber, and laughed when he saw their affairs collapsing: "It's really vulnerable! Brothers follow me and continue to hunt down these cowards!"

The soldiers of the Flying Bear Army shouted with high morale, "Kill, kill, kill!"

The powerful murderous aura made the soldiers of the alliance dare not fight these steel monsters at all, and then kept running away from the rear!

Cao Cao said with a cold face: "I will go to support the Chinese army!"

When Cao Cao saw the brave and invincible Xiliang soldiers on the battlefield, he realized that he was careless. The Xiliang soldiers were already strong in combat, rich in combat experience, and now they still have the advantage of equipment. That mighty army seems to be another level. He felt as if the Northern Army was fighting a member of the Yellow Turban Army, but it was a pity that he was on the side of the Yellow Turban Army this time.

The only thing Cao Cao is thankful for now is that he still has a reserve army of 1.5 in his hands, otherwise their coalition forces today might really be killed by Li Jue through the Chinese army!Cause the whole army to collapse!

But Zhang Miao and others were frightened by the fighting power of the Feixiong Army. They knew that Xiliang soldiers were brave, but they didn't expect to be so fierce. When they heard that Cao Cao was going to support the battlefield, they all looked at the savior Looking at Cao Cao, he said, "Meng De, everything depends on you!"

Looking at these cowardly celebrities, Cao Cao was not optimistic about the future of their Kwantung Allied Forces for the first time. Dong Zhuo was surrounded by warriors. Although they didn't know how to govern the country, they could fight and were brave!

On the other hand, I was fighting with a group of pig teammates. With their appearance, how to command the army and lead the army to fight, even if they had a large army, it would be difficult for them to defeat Dong Zhuo's army!
But Cao Cao didn't have time to think too much, he led an army of 1 to support Xia Houyuan.

The battle just now gave Li Jue confidence. This armor is too strong. The enemy's swords can't do much damage to him, but their swords are basically one at a time. Although he defeated tens of thousands of troops head-on just now, but Casualties were no more than a hundred.He is confident that he can completely defeat the tens of thousands of Kwantung coalition forces with the strength of the Flying Bear Army!

When Li Jue saw Cao Cao leading an army of 1 to support him, he turned his army around to attack Weizi on his right wing!

Li Jue knew that although his army was strong in combat, the soldiers were not as good as the enemy after all, and they would be blocked by the coalition forces. It would be too bad for him if they took advantage of their numbers, so he changed the direction of attack, making it difficult for the coalition forces to encircle his army!
Divide the words!

Bao Xin detoured all the way and intercepted Dong Zhuo's force 20 miles behind Li Jue's army!
Dong Zhuo was surprised how a coalition army appeared in front of him. Could it be that Li Jue was defeated, but it is impossible that none of them escaped?

Just when Dong Zhuo was thinking wildly, Tian Yi, who joined the army, smiled and said, "You don't need to think too much about it. With the strength of the Kwantung Allied Forces, it is impossible to wipe out Li Jue!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and smiled, "I understand, Cao Cao's appetite is really big. He wanted to annihilate Li Jue, so a large army came to the truth!"

Then Dong Zhuo said: "Let Niu Fu go out to fight, and at the same time bring King Hongli to the front, to test the power of King Hongli!"

Tian Yi cupped his hands and saluted, "No!"

Then he took King Hongli to the front line of the army!

"It's so troublesome. There is no army in the world that can resist the charge of my heavy cavalry!" Niu Fu's heavy cavalry in ceramic armor is also ready to charge. In Niu Fu's view, the enemy is only 5000 people. It can be defeated and dealt with!There is no need to bring King Hongli out!

But Tian Yi said with a smile: "Prime Minister is trying to kill people, so that the Kwantung Allied Forces have nothing to say!"

At this time, after Bao Xin rushed to the front of Dong Zhuo's main force, Bao Xin formed a defensive square formation, intending to delay a little longer to buy time for Cao Cao to wipe out Li Jue.

But at this time, he found a young man in Dong Zhuo's army standing at the forefront of the army formation, which made Bao Xin feel baffled. Could this person be Dong Zhuo's grandson?

But at this time the boy was holding a tin trumpet (to learn from Xu Wei, it can be said that Xu Wei’s military equipment is the most learned from Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei!)

"Listen to the Han army on the opposite side. I am Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong. Yuan Shao said that I issued an edict saying that he was ordered to fight for the king. Yuan Shao made up it himself. I have never issued such an edict. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu killed me. Two uncles and mother, I have a deep hatred with the Yuan family, how could I give him the edict of King Qin. If I want to issue an edict, I will also issue it to Taiwei Liu Yu, not Yuan Shao, a hypocrite who is trying to gain fame. If you admit that you are Soldiers who are big men put down their weapons, and I assure you that the Prime Minister will not pursue your rebellion!"

Bao Xin was dumbfounded when he saw Liu Bian!Bao Xin can be regarded as He Jin's confidant. He Jin was hired by He Jin to serve as the captain of cavalry. He naturally knew Liu Bian, and hearing Liu Bian's words made him panic, because he knew what Liu Bian said was true. In other words, Yuan Shao just wanted to make Liu Bian a scapegoat, and at the same time give himself a reason to rebel against the court, and now this reason has been exposed by Liu Bian in broad daylight, and this is the reason for his panic!

Sure enough, as soon as Liu Bian finished speaking, the officers in Bao Xin's army began to whisper to each other. Many officers even looked at Bao Xin, wanting to get certain news from him. Naturally, it is clear that the emperor is an ordinary person, so they will fight against the imperial power.

For the officers at the bottom, the emperor is like a god, and imperial power is their belief. They are taught to serve the country and His Majesty loyally. Is a part of the big man.
