Great Military Division

Chapter 263 The Heroes Gathering in the County!Liu Guanzhang is about to usher in the first battle!

"My lord?"

Lei Bo glanced back at his reinforcements, his confidence soared immediately, he held his sword high in his palm, and shouted sharply: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, why should we be afraid?"

"Counterattack!"

"Follow me to fight back—!"

Yuan Bing, who had a faint tendency to be surrounded, had his morale soared in an instant, as if they were resurrected with full blood in place, all of them were full of fighting spirit in an instant, raised their weapons, and roared like thunder:
"kill-!"

unfortunately
Cao Ren was not afraid at all, there was no shock on his face, and he was even secretly grateful.

Because everything is exactly as Cao Cao expected.

It doesn't take too long for the battlefield here, Yuan Jun soldiers will come to support.

In this way, it happens to be able to catch them all in one go.

Cao Ren fought fiercely, so he didn't let go of the fire at the moment. He took a stride with the Huan Shou Dao and rushed towards Lei Bo who was fighting fiercely.

"Death to me!"

"whispering sound!"

Lei Bo gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and at the same time, he turned his body slightly, holding the knife in both hands, and swung the knife with all his strength, striking it head-on.

clang-!
The ear-piercing golden sound exploded.

The two sides drew closer in an instant, their eyes were wide open, and their teeth were gritted fiercely.

Lei Bo obviously sensed the change in Cao Ren's strength, and felt bad at once, but his own reinforcements made him feel at ease: "Cao Ren, you have a reputation in Ruying, so you should understand the strength of the Yuan family. What's the use?"

"Humph!"

Cao Ren snorted angrily, his arms bulging, desperately suppressing Lei Bo, and said in a cold voice: "I, Cao Ren, act for loyalty, how can I care about temporary gains and losses."

The Huan Shou Dao in Lei Bo's hand was ruthlessly suppressed to within two inches of his body. Although the soldiers on his side were fighting fiercely, Cao Jun's attack was not weak at all.

This made Lei Bo faintly feel bad.

It is clear!
The opponent dared to attack so desperately because he had no fear.

Hard to do.
Just when Lei Bo felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, there was a strong shout of killing all around:
"kill-!"

Lei Bo gritted his teeth to resist, and glanced around from the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, a group of soldiers and horses came out from the left and right sides, and they were attacking the elite soldiers led by Yuan Shu.

But in fact
It's just that Lei Bo's vision is limited.

It was impossible for him to notice that there was still a troop heading towards Yuan Hou's road.

The Tang family's old house is a manor outside the city.

Surrounded by hills, with a river flowing in front of it, it is very suitable for ambushes.

Cao Cao used the city of Yan County as bait to lure him to this temporarily abandoned manor, making it clear that he wanted to catch all of them and completely wipe out Yuan Shu here.

But unfortunately.
Only four thousand soldiers and horses came.

However, despite this, it will still be a great victory.

"Ah, this"

Lei Bo turned pale in shock, and the power in his hand dropped by three points.

But Cao Ren's strength is even greater.

Under this situation.

Cao Ren suppressed Lei Bo with a single blow, and the edge of the blade slashed across the tiger's mouth where he was holding the knife.

Chi Leng Leng.

The edge of the blade was close to the blade, and a distance was drawn, thousands of sparks flashed out.

Lei Bo's face turned green with fright, his eyes stared like bells, he opened his mouth to swallow the sky, his eyes were full of horror.

He subconsciously dropped his body suddenly, lost his balance suddenly, and fell to the ground with a plop.

This moment!
Lei Bo could clearly feel the ferocious murderous aura condensed on him.

The eyeballs of Cao Jun's surroundings were all red, with excitement and greed shining in his eyes, and the Huan Shou knives in his hands were all raised high, and they slashed at his pocket head.

And who would pass up such an opportunity?

The guy lying on the ground is a general under Yuan Shu's command!

In an instant!
A shadow enveloped Lei Bo.

Swords, lights, swords and shadows, blood splattered.

"what-!"

Lei Bo screamed several times, but was completely silent.

When Cao Ren waved his hand fiercely and led the army to take advantage of the situation to counterattack, when the soldiers swept past, he realized that Lei Bo had already become a puddle of fleshy mud, half of his body was blurred, the red blood mixed with the mud, and his lower limbs were still unconscious. The ground twitched and trembled.

Yuan Shu, who led the troops to chase after him, was greatly surprised by the defeated soldiers and horses in front of him, and the Cao army attacking from the left and right sides.

At this moment, he is sitting on the horse, holding the rein tightly with both hands, his body showing a bowed avoidance with a strong sense of self-protection, a pair of rolling eyeballs, full of horror in capital letters and bold.

"not good."

"It's really tricked!"

Yuan Shu secretly chewed, turned his horse around like a conditioned reflex, and made a gesture to run away.

but
The moment he turned around.

There was also a group of soldiers and horses in the rear, and they surrounded and killed them ferociously.

There are Cao troops all around, and the total strength is probably no less than five or six thousand!

This is not a broken army, it is clearly Cao Cao's main force!

Yan Xiang guessed right.

This broken army is indeed very problematic.

Yuan Shu's teeth were itching with hatred, he really wanted to stretch out his hand and slap his mouth hard, now he is surrounded by Cao's army, and although he has many troops under his command, their morale has plummeted, how can they fight again?

"kill-!"

The rich shouts of killing continued one after another.

The soldiers and horses rushing from all around seemed like life-seeking little ghosts killed from the nether world. They carried their weapons and rushed over screaming, destroying and collapsing the defense line in Yuan Shu's heart in an instant!
"My lord, don't worry!"

If it weren't for the shout of the general Chen Lan beside him at the critical moment, Yuan Shu might have been overwhelmed by his own panic: "General Chen Ji and I block the pursuers from left and right, and you personally lead the army to break through!"

"Yu County is not far from here. How can a war break out here escape the eyes of the military adviser? He will surely lead troops to come to support us. Maybe we still have a chance."

Gollum!

Yuan Shu's throat rolled, his gloomy face gradually softened, and a faint hope appeared: "Chen Lan, Chen Ji, you intercept Cao's army on both sides, Le will be responsible for cutting off the rear, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me to break through."

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!"

Yuan Shu raised his sword and pointed forward angrily, "Rush for me! Break out of the encirclement!"

present.

All the armies took the initiative to face Cao Jun who came from all directions.

The entire battlefield entered into a fierce battle in an instant.

Although Cao Jun has few soldiers, most of them are veterans with rich combat experience;
Although Yuan Jun has many soldiers, most of them are recruits with little combat experience.

The two soldiers and horses collided like a tide, and Cao Jun in red uniform was like a raging fire, devouring Yuan Bing in blue uniform frantically.

Have to admit.

The current situation is very good.

but
Cao Cao, who was watching the battle not far away, frowned and looked relaxed.

Because, in his mind, he was thinking about how long it would take for Yuan Jun from Yan County to arrive.

If the opponent could come later, it would be possible to kill Yuan Shu in this battle, but if he came sooner, the two armies would be encircled, and the opponent would definitely run away.

"Report—!"

At this moment, there was a long sound of announcement behind him.

Cao Cao hurriedly turned his head to look.

But seeing, his own scout Pegasus came and hurried forward, before he could salute, he was interrupted by Cao Cao waving his hand: "It's enough to speak bluntly, how far is Yuan Jun from here?"

The scout said without thinking, "It's less than three miles away."

Cao Cao sighed: "Sanli? Yan Xiang's reaction was really fast. It's a pity that he failed to kill Yuan Shu this time. If there is another chance like this, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."

"Captain."

Xiahou Dun bowed his body and cupped his hands, his eyes flashed with fierce fighting intent: "The general is willing to lead troops to stop Ji Ling, but I can't guarantee anything else. It shouldn't be a problem to pester him for half an hour."

"No!"

Cao Cao refused without hesitation: "Ji Ling is the number one general under Yuan Shu's command. Back then, he could even fight Lu Bu for [-] rounds. You may not be his opponent."

"What's more, the opponent has a lot of soldiers and horses. With these soldiers and horses in your hands, it is impossible to stop him. It's better not to waste that effort and look for opportunities later."

"Yan Xiang is more difficult to deal with than I imagined."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, turned his head and glanced at Xia Houdun: "Yesterday Li Min sent information, Chen Liu and Zhang Miao are gathering troops, and they may attack Yingchuan. It is not appropriate to waste troops at this time."

"what?"

Xiahou Dun was stunned: "Chen Liu and Zhang Miao? How could he?"

Cao Cao looked calm and said softly: "Yingchuan is an important hub connecting Heluo and Nanyang, and now His Highness is about to ascend the throne. Dong Zhuo has no choice but to attack Yingchuan."

"The captain means"

Xiahou Dun's eyes lit up suddenly, and he suddenly realized: "Dong Zhuo did something wrong?"

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said with absolute certainty, "Other than this, could there be others? Let's quickly defeat Yuan Shu, lead the army back to defend Yanling, and rush to help Miaocai!"

Xiahou Dun nodded, "It makes sense."

Cao Cao reined in his horse and turned around, and said: "When Yuan Jun arrives, resist a little, then let Yuan Shu go. If this battle is defeated, they will not dare to look north in a short time."

Xiahou Dun cupped his hands: "Here."

*****
Chen stay.

Yu (yǔ) county.

post station.

Jian Yong ran out in a hurry, smiling all over his face: "My lord, what a coincidence, there is only one last room left here, we can just live in it, the subordinate has already paid, let's go in."

"it is good."

Liu Bei responded, turned his head and said: "Yide, you take the horse into the backyard, and tell the servants to feed more fodder, we have to go on our way tomorrow."

Zhang Fei bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

He took the reins and led the horse straight to the back yard.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Jian Yong entered the station.

The post station is overcrowded, and when you look up, most of them have high crowns and belts, and they are extraordinary.

Liu Bei and others entered the post station, which immediately aroused everyone's discussion:
"Look, there are three more rushing to Nanyang."

"It's the same for you and me, let alone them."

"This should be the No.20 five-wave man, right?"

"Well, almost."

"."

Liu Bei's eyes and ears are sharp, and he heard everyone's discussion.

When following the young man upstairs, Liu Bei was curious and asked, "Dare to ask this little brother, Yu County is only a small county, how can there be so many people staying in the shop?"

"kindness?"

The little servant was stunned, and asked instead: "Why, is it possible that you are going to Nanyang, join Nanyang Hanting, and serve King Hongnong?"

"Ah, this"

All three are embarrassed.

Liu Bei nodded slowly: "Yes, yes."

The boy looked relieved: "Oh, they, like you, all want to go to Nanyang."

Liu Bei and the others asked as they went upstairs, "When I waited to come, it was getting late and I had to stay overnight. Could it be the same as them?"

"So you don't know?"

"Why, what's the matter?"

"kindness."

The boy nodded: "There is a war ahead, and they can't get through. They can only find a post house to stay temporarily. Some people have been stuck in traffic for two days, and their money is almost exhausted."

"Ugh-!"

The boy sighed and shook his head: "Poor."

Liu Bei was astonished, and hurriedly asked, "When will the battle be over?"

The boy was stunned: "Objectively, you asked this question, how could the villain know, anyway, it seems that the fighting has not yet started, and the troops are currently gathering. According to the people who live in the shop, it seems that Chang'an ordered to kill Yanling, Changshe, Xu, etc. The county was assigned to Chen Liu."

"what?"

Liu Bei was so startled that his eyes almost popped out.

He couldn't believe it.

The court of Chang'an actually made such a decree, which is clearly to provoke the rhythm of a big war.

Even if Liu Bei didn't know the situation any more, he had already inquired about it all the way along the way, and he had a little understanding of King Hongnong's power.

The court of Chang'an first promoted Yuan Shu to be the shepherd of Yuzhou, and then moved Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to be the prefects of Yingchuan and Chenjun. This has already provoked a war between Yuan Shu and King Hongnong.

Now, the Chang'an court assigned three counties in Yingchuan to Chen Liu, obviously to provoke a war between Zhang Miao and King Hongnong, and his heart was really as vicious as a snake.

"What a thief Dong."

Even Guan Yu himself couldn't help opening his eyes wide with anger, and opened his mouth to curse: "It's unreasonable to dare to abuse the country's important weapon like this."

Jian Yong frowned, and tried to ask: "Then, does King Hongnong have no countermeasures?"

The boy shook his head: "How can I know this? If you want to know more, you can put your luggage away and go downstairs to inquire. They must know more than me."

Liu Bei nodded and nodded: "That's true, let's go and go back to the room."

Guan Yu and Jian Yong said kindly, and immediately went upstairs to their room.

It didn't take long.

Zhang Fei returned to the room: "Brother."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked back and couldn't help being stunned: "Yide, this is."

but see
A man who was more than eight feet tall and wearing a double-breasted long robe, with a long beard fluttering down his beard, was smiling at them and bowing his hands:

"Brother Bulao Yide introduced that Cheng Li, whose name is Zhongde, is a native of Yanzhou Dongjun. He has been blocked here for two full days, and his money is almost exhausted, so he has no choice but to seek your help."

According to the "Book of Wei":
Cheng Yu's real name is Cheng Li.

Because I was young, I often dreamed of going to Mount Tai, holding the sun in both hands.

Cheng Li thought it strange and told Xun Yu about it.

When Yanzhou rebelled, Cheng Yu went all out to plan and try to protect Juancheng and other three counties.

Xun Yu then told Cao Cao about the dream, and when Cao Cao heard about it, he said to Cheng Yu, "You will always be my heart."

Then Cheng Li added the word "日" to the word "Li" and changed his name to Cheng Yu.

"Cheng Li?"

Liu Bei couldn't help being astonished, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and dared to ask: "But is Dongjun Chengli who burned down the warehouse and tried to protect Dong'e?"

Cheng Li nodded and said with certainty: "That's right, it's right here."

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "I have admired your name for a long time! I don't know if Zhongde came here to look for it. What is it?"

At the moment, Cheng Li didn't hide it, and said outrightly: "Li knows that brother Xuande is a clan member of the Han family, and this time he is going west, he must go to King Hongnong and make some achievements, so he came here boldly."

"What's the matter, just speak up."

Liu Bei was even more straightforward, waving his hand as a signal.

"it is good."

Cheng Li nodded slowly, and said softly: "Now, Zhang Miao is gathering troops. There may be six to seven thousand troops. However, Cao Cao, the captain of Yingchuan, is fighting Yuan Shu. Yanling's defense is empty, and there may be less than a thousand troops."

"If Yanling is broken, Yingchuan will be in danger."

Cheng Li took the lead in explaining the situation clearly, and then went straight to the point: "Li has already discussed with the several heroes staying in the hotel, gathering their own servants, forming a temporary army to help Yingchuan, I wonder if brother Xuande is willing? "

Before Liu Bei could speak, Jian Yong tentatively asked: "I wonder how many soldiers are there?"

Cheng Li didn't hide it: "There are about a hundred riders, and I lead twenty servants, all of whom are proficient in horse bows and horses. They can fight. Chen Gong in Dongjun has twenty servants, and they have agreed to fight."

"and also."

Before Cheng Li could finish speaking, Liu Bei waved his hand and interrupted: "Brother Zhongde, you don't need to say any more, even if there are only a dozen riders, as long as you have the ability to protect Yanling, you can help yourself."

Cheng Li stared at Liu Bei with piercing eyes, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion: "Brother Xuande doesn't care about life and death, he is really a righteous man of the country."

Liu Bei clasped his hands together and said, "So does Zhongde."

"Hahaha!"

The two looked up to the sky and let out a haha, quite a sense of sympathy for each other.

Cheng Li heaved a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Since that's the case, Brother Xuande can come to Cheng's room tonight. Let's discuss together how we should deal with this matter so that we can cooperate with Cao Cao and try to protect Yanling."

"I don't know where brother Zhongde's room is?"

"Oh."

Cheng Li raised his finger and pointed not far away: "The fourth room on the east side of the second floor is."

Liu Bei nodded and nodded: "Okay, I will be there."

Cheng Li cupped his hands: "Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore, heroes, rest well."

Liu Bei personally sent Cheng Li out of the room, and then turned back.

"Xianhe."

"exist."

"Quickly go out and find out the situation, including the people staying in the palace, the situation of Zhang Miao's troops gathering, and the ins and outs of the matter."

"Here."

*****
Nanyang, Wan County.

Prefect's House.

A lamp like a bean.

Liu Bian held a brush in his hand and frowned. On the surface, he seemed to be in deep thought, but he was actually communicating with the Military Division Alliance: "Han Ji? Who is this? Why have I never heard of it?"

The Alliance of Military Advisors explained: "Han Ji is a descendant of Han Xin, the king of the Western Han Dynasty. His grandfather Han Shu served as the prefect of Hedong, and his father Han Chun served as the prefect of Nanjun."

"Chen Mao, a wealthy family in the same county, once framed and slandered Han Ji's father and brother, and almost sentenced them to death. Han Ji didn't respond on the surface, but secretly saved money and hired murderers. Finally, he killed Chen Mao and used his head tomb as a sacrifice to his father. , and Han Ji became famous for it.”

Liu Bian was taken aback: "This kid is a ruthless person! But what does he have to do with promoting water drainage?"

"Don't be in a hurry, Master."

The military division alliance continued: "Historically, after Han Ji took refuge in Cao Cao, he abandoned the labor-intensive and inefficient horse row and human row in the iron smelting handicraft industry, and promoted the use of improved water row, which improved production efficiency. tripled."

"According to the records of "Three Kingdoms · Wei Shu · Han Ji Biography": In the old days, horse row was made, and each slab used hundreds of horses; it was more labor-intensive to make people row; and because the long stream was used as water row, the benefits were considered. , three times as much as before."

"Based on expert guesses."

Speaking of this, the Military Division Alliance paused slightly: "This Han Ji should be an expert who is proficient in machinery. 200 years ago, Du Shi promoted water drainage in Nanyang, and the efficiency of Nanyang's smelting and casting has greatly improved."

"However, Du Shi's water drainage has relatively large limitations. Han Ji improved on the basis of this kind of water drainage. One of them is to use 'long streams as water drainage' and use large rivers as power, which is epoch-making. meaningful."

"The second is to transform the horizontal horse row mechanism into a water row mechanism. The so-called horse row is to use animal power to drive the mechanical wheel shaft, and rely on the rotation of the wheel shaft to agitate the blower."

"The historical records of 'one hundred horses for each slaked stone' means that at least one hundred horsepower is needed to melt the ore. It shows how big the iron smelting was in the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

"Han Ji transformed the horse row and human row into water row. In short, he changed the animal force to water force, which greatly reduced the production cost and improved the production efficiency."

"."

Barbara.

The Military Division Alliance explained a lot: "So don't worry, Master Bian, no matter whether others can understand the blueprint, but if Han Ji is here, there should be no problem."

Liu Bian nodded in agreement, and thought to himself: "Then Han Ji is in Nanyang now?"

The Military Division Alliance said softly: "According to historical records, it should be in Nanyang, but it is not in Duyang, but in seclusion in Lushan. Master Bian sent someone to look for it, and they should be able to find it."

"Anyway, our first step is to manufacture enough agricultural tools to ensure the progress of farming. We will not improve it for the time being. There is still a certain amount of preparation time. It is enough to find this person and come out of the mountain. Don't worry."

Liu Bian took a deep breath, chewing on the name over and over again: "Han Ji! Okay, I'll remember it."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the hall.

Liu Bian looked up.

But seeing, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, Xun Yu asks to see you."

Liu Bian frowned: "Wen Ruo? You must have something important to come over so late, let him in."

Zhu Tong cupped his hands: "Here."

Soon.

Xun Yu came to the hall, stepped forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Your Highness."

Liu Bian didn't bother to talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Wen Ruo, what happened?"

Xun Yu bowed his head: "En! According to the news from Yingchuan, Dong Zhuo assigned Yanling, Changshe, and Xu County to Chenliu County. Now that Zhang Miao is also involved in the war, Cao Cao is under greater pressure."

"I think below."

Xun Yu gave a direct suggestion: "His Royal Highness should send people to help quickly, in case Yingchuan is lost."

Liu Bian frowned: "What a Dong Zhuo, it's unreasonable to abuse the country's important weapon!"

"How about this."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Bian made a decision: "Let his old partner Bao Xin lead [-] elite soldiers to rush to the aid of Yingchuan, and there must be no problems at this juncture."

Xun Yu bowed, "Here."

"Is there anything else?" Liu Bian asked.

"Have."

Xun Yu nodded, and said softly: "The people who spread it in Luoyang before have sent back news that the alfalfa painted by His Highness was found in the east direction, and they are currently sending people back to transplant it."

"found it?"

"Well, found it."

"Great."

Liu Bian was ecstatic in his heart, and let out a sigh of relief: "As long as we plant alfalfa in Nanyang, we can save a lot of fodder, and the rock hanging in my heart can finally be put down."

"Wen Ruo."

Liu Bian ordered: "Leave this matter to Zijing, there is no need to ask for instructions again."

Xun Yu bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Your Highness!"

"Oh, right."

Just as Xun Yu was about to leave, Liu Bian suddenly thought of Han Ji, waved his hand to stop him and said, "Wen Ruo, tell Feng Xiao by the way, let him send out his men to find Han Ji, the man from Nanyang Duyang, if he is not in the city, it is very dangerous." Maybe living in seclusion in Lushan."

"Han cum?"

Xun Yu took a deep breath, and seemed to have some impression of this person: "But Han Ji who hired murderers to avenge his father?"

Liu Bian didn't expect Xun Yu to know this person, so he nodded quickly: "That's right, it's him."

Xun Yu cupped his hands and remembered it in his heart: "Your subordinates will remember it. Don't worry, Your Highness. Yu will tell Feng Xiao."

Liu Bian'en said: "It's getting late, you should step back, so you can rest."

Xun Yu agreed.

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.
