The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

In Gongsun Kang's big tent of the Chinese army.

It's getting so dark that it can't be dark anymore, maybe today is the darkest day since entering winter.

Yuan Tan returned to the big tent, and took a nap on his original seat with his clothes on.Suddenly, he was awakened by the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the tent.There was a chaotic sound outside the tent.

Yuan Tan, who seemed to be awake, guessed that General Gongsun Kang had returned, so he stood up, straightened his clothes and went out!

Yuan Tan just walked out of the military tent, ready to meet today's triumphant general.

Yuan Tan, who had not yet stepped out of the military tent, was already illuminated by the torches of thousands of military cavalry outside the tent.

However, Yuan Tan who had just walked out of the tent was stunned.

What he saw was not Liaodong's mink coat attire, but the Chu army in red armor.

Surrounded by many Chu army cavalry, Chen Dao galloped towards him, and reined in his horse in front of him.The saber in his hand shone coldly under the light of the fire.

Yuan Tan was stunned, he didn't know what happened now, he stared blankly at Chen Dao who was about to come with countless eyes.

Chen Dao was also looking at him immediately.

Yuan Tan asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Thousands of cavalry just held the weapons in their hands tightly. All the cavalry were cold, and no one answered him.

Chen Dao reined in the horse that kept spinning back and forth, and asked sharply, "Who are you?"

Yuan Tan replied: "Of course it is the coalition of princes."

Chen Dao pointed at Yuan Tan with a whip and said, "Look at his attire, he must be a prince among the [-] princes, or at least a general. Let me guard all the lands of him and the old women, young women, and nobles of those princes." Together, send back the follow-up troops, don't make these people a drag on us, if you can't send them for a while, just shoot them to me!"

Chen Dao mobilized the horse's head and issued an order to the whole army: "The whole army continues to go north! It goes straight to Xuchang City!"

Chen Dao rode away on his horse, and the group of riders roared to follow, while behind him came the screams of countless people, among the screams were the heart-piercing cries of a woman, and also the unwillingness of a strong warrior to lose.

After Chen Dao's army roared away, the remaining hundreds of cavalry began to clear the battlefield.

Yuan Tan, who was standing there blankly, looked helpless at this moment. Although he had extraordinary martial arts, his sword had been removed by others, and the general's personal guards were also handed over to Gongsun Kang. Now he can only wait for others to slaughter him.

Two cavalrymen of the Chu army came over and shouted: "Turn around! Throw down the quiver on your body! Put your hands behind your back!"

Yuan Tan did the same, but he still didn't seem to understand why he was a prisoner.

Afterwards, Yuan Tan, who was tied up with his hands, was dragged away by the two cavalrymen. On the night when Yuan Tan was captured, all the troops, in order to quickly catch up with Chen Dao's overall army attack, At this time, the two cavalrymen finally chose to shoot Yuan Tan. Yuan Shao's eldest son, who had placed high hopes, died in the hands of two soldiers who did not leave any names in history.

And when Chen Dao's army left the camp, a fire burned the place to scorched earth.

On the ruins of Gongsun Kang's camp.

Dazhai, which had been burned by a big fire, was already extremely dim. Countless charred corpses gave off a strong smell, and lingering smoke wafted from the remaining ruins.

Gongsun Kang led his cavalry regiment to gallop over quickly. Seeing these tragic scenes, Gongsun Kang's face turned pale. He rode on his horse and kept patrolling Dazhai because he wanted to find Yuan Tan's body or injured body. , because Dazhai has been turned into scorched earth, there is no rolling ground, no one stands up, because there is no healthy person on the battlefield.

At this time, a wounded soldier was helped out from nowhere, and he limped over. Seeing Gongsun Kang, he shouted: "General, General!"

After hearing this voice, Gongsun Kang couldn't bear to look at him, and asked eagerly, "What happened?"

The wounded soldier replied with all his strength: "The Chu army bypassed the general's blocking and came from the Winding Creek in front, and directly attacked the camp. General Yuan Tan and the military counselor and military Sima who stayed behind... ..."

Gongsun Kang closed his eyes, as if there were tears, as if they were about to flow out of them in an instant, and sighed: "I said, how come my troops were attacked from the back and the back? The Chu army used small cavalry to stay away from the main army, and interspersed with attacks..."

There was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry troops. Gongsun Kang held the weapons in his hands tightly, ready to fight at any time.

When Gongsun Kang looked up, he saw that it was Hu Chuquan Shanyu riding his horse, surrounded by cavalry guards.

Hu Chuquan Shanyu immediately shouted: "Now the general knows that the last general is not incompetent. This Chu army doesn't fight with rules at all. I set up an army formation at the foot of the mountain and waited for him to fight, but he avoided the formation and went straight. Attacking Changshe County, when I arrived, another small group of his cavalry rushed into my camp secretly, and it would be chaotic, I could no longer block the main cavalry that came after him..."

Gongsun Kang hurriedly asked: "Who is the commander of the Chu army? Is it Lu Bu?"

Hu Chuquan Shanyu replied: "I heard that the king of Chu has just appointed a general named Chen Dao, a general in his early 20s!"

When Gongsun Kang heard about this age and heard about this general, he sighed unwillingly: "The defeat is so useless, I really don't know how the general will pursue it!"

Fifty miles outside Xuchang City is the new army village of the Chu army.

Surrounded by the fierce elite cavalry of the Chu army, Chen Dao rode his horse and galloped there.

General Ma Chao is here outside Xinzhai Gate, waiting in front of the gate.

Ma Chao said with joy on his face: "Congratulations to General Chen Dao for his triumphant return to the north, the king of Chu will send an order to you here!"

After Chen Dao heard what Ma Chao said, he immediately jumped off his horse and walked into Dazhai side by side with Gongsun Ao.

Chen Dao asked as he walked, "What did the King of Chu say?"

Seeing Chen Dao's impatience, Gongsun Ao hurriedly replied: "The king of Chu has prepared another [-] fine horses for the general, and asked the general to take advantage of the chaotic state of the defenders around Xuchang City and return the troops unexpectedly to attack Xuchang again. With another slap on the back of the allied forces of the princes, who are already crumbling, the general will lead his troops from the west to attack Yuan Shao's Qingzhou..."

Chen Dao stopped suddenly, and replied excitedly: "My God, I was thinking about it just now, but the King of Chu has already prepared for me... Those who know me, the King of Chu!"

Chen Dao once again led 5000 cavalry and the remaining [-] of his more than [-] elite troops to attack again.

In the side hall of Chu Palace in Luoyang City.

Nie Zefeng has been in the war room for seven days. During the seven days, he has never stepped out of this hall. During these seven days, the outside world has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The situation of both sides has undergone insurmountable changes. The change.

In the main hall at this time, not only Nie Zefeng was alone, but also the generals and advisers.

In front of the huge map, Nie Zefeng said to the generals and ministers with confidence: "After being humiliated by General Chen Dao, the coalition forces of the princes around Xuchang must have thought that there would be a short period of tranquility for their Xuchang defense. Just to encourage his idea, thanks to the ban, he was able to lead an army of 20 to block the attack of Yuan's [-] army. Ma Chao and Gao Shun immediately led their troops to attack Qingzhou, seeking to fight against Yuan's army under Qingzhou. At the same time, General Chen Dao returned to the Xuchang area without stopping for a moment, using the same rules and the same speed, once again implemented a big roundabout, and... Zhang Xiu, you immediately lead your Xiliang cavalry regiment across the Taihang Mountains and meet General Chen Dao It would be best to join forces at Guandu."

The lobby of the side hall was unexpectedly quiet.

After Nie Zefeng finished speaking, he looked at Lu Bu and asked, "What do you think, General Lu Bu?"

After hearing Nie Zefeng ask for his opinion, Lu Bu replied with a slight nod, "Your Majesty's thinking is extraordinary. We Han people have a saying: No one will fall twice into the same river!"

Nie Zefeng laughed, and replied triumphantly: "This king wants to repeat the old trick and make the coalition forces of the princes trip over the same stone twice in a row!"

Ever since Nie Zefeng began to alienate Lv Bu intentionally, Lv Bu began to reply cautiously: "I hope General Chen Dao can live up to the important task of the king!"

Nie Zefeng seemed to have heard some words, and said with a smile: "The greatest advantage of General Chen Dao is that he was born rich and honored, and he has never been restricted by any rules, and he has never been afraid of any authority!"

Before Chen Dao launched his attack, Ma Chao and Gao Shun had already led the cavalry first, followed by the infantry, and entered the Qingzhou area.

In order to play a containment role, the two troops of Ma Chao and Gao Shun launched an offensive at any cost.

Ma Chao and Gao Shun's troops charged forward with their horses.

This is already their fifth charge.

Ma Chao and Gao Shun, who had just gone through the battle, saw each other at night and returned to their camp.

Ma Chao said excitedly: "General Gao Shun, if we start at this speed, we will be able to attack Linzi in a few days."

Gao Shun said with a little disdain: "If my army is not all infantry, I think the credit for attacking the Central Plains must be mine."

Ma Chao persuaded: "The coalition forces of the princes in the Central Plains are numerous, and cavalry is needed to quickly defeat these scattered coalition forces of the princes."

Gao Shun replied disdainfully: "The coalition of princes, after the eighteenth princes were defeated by us, our army took the initiative to retreat to the Xuchang area. The eighteenth princes, twelve princes have already returned, and the remaining six princes are remnants. Defeated, I think I can take over the entire Central Plains in one battle."

Seeing Gao Shun being so stubborn, Ma Chao couldn't say anything more.

The two returned to their military stronghold.

At this time, a dark red sunset shone on the west mountain, and there were large chunks of white clouds floating in the blue sky. Under the reflection of the setting sun, they showed a flame-like bright red. The whole earth is enveloped.
