The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Dusk came with a milky white mist.

The entire plain was covered with the corpses of the Chu army and Yuan Shao's cavalry infantry.

When Nie Zefeng looked around, he could see corpses everywhere, and the banners, weapons, golden drums, and horns of the Chu and Yuan armies were scattered all over the field...

The large flock of crows flying in the sky made rough noises.

The military cavalry mobilized by the Chu army crossed the screen, and the sergeants looked back.

Gongsun Ao: "General, we have checked all the corpses, but the Xiongnu Shanyu himself was not found!"

Nie Zefeng commanded the guards around him and said, "Send light cavalry in all directions and search for me inch by inch! I must find General Cao Xing's body, and also search for the body of the local general."

Su Fei, the commander of the Royal Forest Army next to him, shouted, "Yes..."

Immediately rode away.

Nie Zefeng continued to shout: "The herald!"

The herald immediately stepped forward: "The end is here!"

"Except for Su Fei's troops to clean up the battlefield here, the rest of the troops followed General Lu Bu to attack Yuan Jun's barracks, destroy Yuan Jun's camp with all their strength, and then continue to attack until they reach Guandu!"

The herald asked suspiciously, "Including General Cao Xing's headquarters?"

Nie Zefeng asked angrily: "Of course it includes, let him contact me quickly!"

However, Nie Zefeng suddenly realized that General Cao Xing had just been killed in battle, and naturally there was no one in charge of the deployment. Nie Zefeng hurriedly added: "Order Han Hao, the Xiliang fierce general, to command Cao Xing's army temporarily. After Han Hao is in position, he will quickly move closer to me."

The herald replied happily: "Design..."

The herald galloped away.

Looking at the battlefield, Nie Zefeng sighed: "After all, Hebei is a heroic and tragic man who dared to fight. Zhao Bing is really brave and good at fighting, and his defeat is so tragic! All troops, follow me and continue to chase, flatten Yuan Shao's camp, and sweep the entire Xuchang area!"

Nie Zefeng narrowed his eyes, the horse leaped out, and the group of riders followed.

The magnificent battlefield is like an oil painting.

Outline a magnificent situation.

Nie Zefeng's team stepped on the dust and corpses all over the field, rushing out of this beautiful scene.

Yuan Shaozhong's camp at Guandu Ferry.

There was an air of failure in the big tent, and the counselors who had talked so much began to fall into a deathly silence, and the generals were all scarred and said nothing.

However, their silence was broken by the return of two generals outside the tent.

At this time, the two generals Han Qiong and Wen Chou patted the dust off their bodies, and walked into the Chinese army tent to report the current battle situation.

Han Qiong is the number one general in Hebei. Since he is also relatively old, he naturally gave up this kind of showing his face to Wen Chou.

Wen Chou reported that Yuan Shao's basic situation is that Yuan Jun has stabilized the front line and basically maintained the front line of Guandu. After this war, Yuan Jun lost 20 people, and most of the legion's organizational system was destroyed. Now Yuan Jun urgently needs new troops. Replenish.

Yuan Shao ordered the two generals to take their seats and began to discuss future military affairs.

After Yuan Shao issued the order to mobilize Yuan Tan from Qingzhou, Yuan Xi from Youzhou, Yuan Shang from Jizhou, and high-level cadres from Bingzhou, the big tent began to fall into silence again.

Civil servants and military generals seem to have expected it long ago.

The civil servants who preached before the war were naturally depressed.

The strategists who advocated conservative use of troops before the war showed complacency.

Ju Shou, the ghosts in Yuan Shao's army were silent.

Yuan Shao on the throne of the big tent inspected his civil servants and generals.

Yuan Shao wanted to be the first to break this silence. He took a sip from his wine glass and said slowly: "My newly appointed general of Xuchang, Zhang Yi, did nothing wrong. He is just incompetent. From now on, I will dismiss anyone who is incompetent. "

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he gently put the wine glass on the case, and the big tent of the Chinese army was still quiet.

Yuan Shao shook the cloak on the front of his thighs, then shook it back vigorously and continued: "I don't want to talk about the appointment and dismissal of personnel today. If you are capable, you will be promoted, and if you are not competent, you will be dismissed. There is nothing to talk about. Today, I want to talk to you Let’s talk about the Chu army. You all know that in the battle outside Xuchang, our army lost 20 troops, and the enemy lost tens of thousands of people. Today I want to hear what the civil and military ministers think about this matter? Dan It's okay to say!"

It was quiet in the big tent, and no one seemed to have the desire to speak.

The anger in Yuan Shao's heart couldn't help coming out of his heart, but he still tried his best to restrain himself, swallowed the bad breath lightly and asked: "If you don't say anything, then I will. I have a hunch, if this continues, Sooner or later, I will be beaten back to my hometown in Jizhou by this stinky boy, and I even have to flee to the Huns!"

All the civil servants and generals in the big tent immediately felt an indescribable shock, more precisely, a spiritual shock.

Xu You, Guo Tu and other counselors dodged Yuan Shao's gaze.

Yuan Shao looked around in the crowd, the civil servants on the left bowed their heads in thought, and the general on the right also bowed his head and remained silent. Among the crowd, he found the Chu army general Yan Liang who took the lead in fighting the Chu army and asked: " Is General Yan Liang here?"

Yan Liang stood up and replied, "The end is here!"

Yuan Shao asked lightly: "General Yan Liang, tell me! You are asked to fight the Chu army again, are you willing to go?"

Yan Liang thought about it for a while, and then replied: "General, if you want to say that you are familiar with and understand the Chu army, you will be the last general in the entire tent. In a few months, I first talked with Wei Yan's The generals and soldiers of the Chu Army united together to fight against the soldiers of the Cao Army around Xuchang. Afterwards, I also came into contact with soldiers and legions of the Chu Army from other legions. In the battle outside Xuchang City, my legion was the first to meet the Chu Army. They lured them into the five-element formation of our army, and it turned out... Now I don't know where to start, hey, what else to say, there is nothing to say, as long as the general gives an order, the last general can ride away immediately Beat them again!"

There was a sudden boom in the big tent.

Yuan Shao's tense nerves had just been relieved, and he even said with a smile: "General Yan Liang is mighty. General Wen Chou, what about you? What do you think?"

After Wen Chou waited for Yan Liang to take his place, he stood up in battle and replied: "Soldiers are important matters for the country, the place of life and death, and the way of life and death. As a professional soldier, just follow the orders of the general and lead the army to fight. , As for whom to fight and when to fight, only a general can decide such a major matter.”

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "I can understand the attitude of the generals. After this battle, many of you lost your lottery, and you lost 20 troops. Many of your corps were disabled, but you put it down, I I will add troops to you in half a month, and I will definitely fight the Chu army. Generals, I am also a soldier, so don’t be so afraid of death. Counselors, what about you non-soldiers?”

Yuan Shao commented on Wan, looking at the hall as quiet as water.

Finally out of the way, the counselor Jushou replied, "I have something to say."

Yuan Shao took the words and replied: "Yes, your lord, but you are called the number one in Hebei, you should have said it long ago."

Ju Shou first gave the surrounding civil servants and counselors, and then said: "General, although our army suffered heavy losses after a big battle this time, according to my observation, most of the Chu army is cavalry. Some sites will rest and recuperate, but will choose to continue to expand northward. Two years later, Chu King Nie Zefeng rose from Xuzhou, and then began his expansion of territory. In the past two years, wars have continued. Why? Some people attribute it to the injustice of the Chu army , or the feudal lords are weak, in fact, all of them are wrong. That is because after the emperor Huan of the Great Han Dynasty, he fell into the melee of warlords from all over the world. , where the land law cannot be implemented, the peasants there enthusiastically join the Chu army. After this war, the Chu army has increased to 30, which is evenly matched with ours, but our army has lost far to the opponent in terms of morale. , so I advocate uniting all the princes in the world, Gongsundu in Liaodong, Wuhuan Morton, Xiongnu, Ma Teng in Xiliang, Han Sui, Song Yi, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Liu Zhang in Xichuan, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Liu Yao, everything we can contact The people and horses all contacted one by one, and gathered the soldiers of the eighteen princes in the world to kill Nie Zefeng. The princes of the world will definitely respond, because Nie Zefeng has become the number one prince in the world by occupying Jingzhou in the south, invading Huainan in the east, and conquering the Central Plains in the north. My dream of being a hero must be to defeat the King of Chu reasonably."

After Ju Shou finished speaking, no one applauded, no one admired from the bottom of their hearts, and no one did not admire.

Yuan Shao listened intently to the excited and generous reply: "Yes, it's quite good, why haven't I heard such happy remarks before? How come no one has given such an idea?"

At this time, Tian Feng, who claimed to be the number one counselor of Yuan Shao's army account, got up and said, "General, do you think we should consider peace talks now and adopt a strategy of fighting while talking."

Yuan Shao leaned on his big tiger-backed chair and said without anger: "Oh, Tian Canjun thinks so?"

Tian Feng explained: "The war with Chu State has already started since the moment we attacked Xuchang. As Jushou Jijiu said, the war is inevitable. However, we may not be able to defeat Chu with head-to-head tactics. Army. So we use static brakes. We use military and political means to jointly deal with the enemy Chu army. If we rely solely on military means, rely on our strong force. Let us not forget that military is a kind of evil. War is a This kind of danger. Who wins and who loses, who is strong and who is weak, is decided in the blink of an eye. Use human life and death to fight for victory. Once you fall, you can’t get back up, and it’s too late to regret.”

As soon as Tian Feng's words fell, all the civil and military personnel in the hall nodded in agreement, and there was a buzz of agreement.

Xu You's expression became hesitant.

However, Yuan Shao commented impatiently: "Mr. Tian Feng has always given the name of the head of the virtuous, and his words still have a lot of weight. That is to say, are we really going to have peace talks with the Chu army?"

The big tent immediately fell into another quiet and tense atmosphere.

Yuan Shao finally said: "Mr.'s matter, it is true that silence is used for tranquility, and justice is used for governance? It seems that we all have to 'stop with silence'! ... This discussion is put on hold for now--let's discuss it tomorrow!"
