Chapter 484 Chaos ([-])

"Unexpectedly, the Battle of the White Horse still appeared!"

After Dong Bi got the battle report in Chang'an, he couldn't help sighing.As for why sigh?Only he knew it in his heart.

In the Romance, before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao sent General Yan Liang to lead the troops to attack Baima and besiege Dongjun in order to ensure that the main force crossed the river south.It's just that at that time, did Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun, surrender?Dong Bi couldn't remember clearly... In this period of history, the thing that left the deepest impression on him was Guan Yunchang's white horse beheading Yan Liang and Yanjin's killing Wen Chou, which created a great reputation.

Yan Liang has long since become a dead bone; Wen Chou also left Jizhou and joined Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

Guan Gong didn't surrender to Han or Cao... Dong Bi even thought that he had changed history.Unexpectedly, it seems that some things cannot be changed now.However, Dong Bi wanted to see if this Sui Yuanjin was good?How will Cao Cao respond?

Ma Liang couldn't help asking: "Qiantui, why are you sighing?"

"Ji Chang, let me test you. Yuan Shao's soldiers crossed the river and seized the white horse. Then, how do you think Cao Cao will react?"

Dong Bi didn't answer Ma Liang's question, but asked back with a smile.

Ma Liang is now eighteen years old.Counting it, the days of following Dong Bi are not short, and Li Kui and Li Kui are called the twin heroes of Liang Wangfu.

Li Kui was able to take one step and three strategies, and his response was very alert. He was responsible for handling matters outside the Prince Liang's mansion.Li Kui, 24 years old, married Guo Huan, the daughter of Shaoqing Guo Yong, under the auspices of Dong Bi at the beginning of the year.Although it seems a bit out of place, Guo Yong is very happy.Li Kui is Li Ru's adopted son, and currently he doesn't have any official position, but Dong Yu's shogunate, how can it be taken lightly?
So for this marriage, he also very much agrees!
Guo Yong's daughter, Guo Huan, was as beautiful as a flower, and was four years younger than Li Kui.When she was born, someone once said that Guo Huan's life was extremely precious.

Now it seems that it is true.

The couple were also very happy after their marriage. Li Kui is still in charge of the Chengming Palace Suwei, and is responsible for the communication between the Liang Palace and the Chengming Palace.

But Ma Liang and Li Kui are different.Xu was influenced by his father, Ma Qiao, and has a calm personality.

Now he is in charge of the internal affairs of Prince Zhuliang's Mansion, and is with Dong Bi every day.Hearing Dong Bi's question, Ma Liang didn't answer in a hurry, but thought about it first.

"If I were Cao Cao, I might pretend to attack Yanjin, use the method of attacking east and west, and then send a strong general to take back the white horse. But..."

"But how?"

"This strategy can only be implemented under the condition that Qiantose has not taken Hanoi. After all, Yanjin is adjacent to Huojia. If Cao Cao pretends to attack Yanjin, he has to consider whether it will anger Qiantose. Hehe, in my opinion, Yuan Cao must A battle to the death, and the place of the decisive battle is..."

Ma Liang pondered for a moment, then said confidently: "Puyang!"

Dong Bi narrowed his eyes, quite agreeing with Ma Liang's analysis.According to his conversation with Jia Xu, the decisive battle between Yuan and Cao is actually the best place in Guandu.Because, after crossing Guandu, Yuan Shao's army will directly threaten Xuchang.But the problem is that Guandu was under the rule of Jingzhao, and it happened to be the free trade area set up by Dong Pi and Cao Cao in the first year of Taiping.

Does Yuan Shao dare to touch Guandu easily?

This is an extremely sensitive area. Given Yuan Shao's current situation, he might not dare to start a war here.Similarly, Cao Cao did not dare.

This may be an aspect that is extremely beneficial to Cao Cao.

Guandu Wuyu, Yanjin Wuyu... Then Yuan Shao can only fight him in Yanzhou.As Ma Liang said, the best location is in Puyang.

It is far away from Xuchang, and there is a huge space for strategic detours.It is also doomed that this battle will never be as simple as Ma Liang said.According to Jia Xu and Dong Bi's deduction, Puyang could only be the fuse of Yuan Cao's battle, but the decisive battle is elsewhere.

As for whether this speculation is accurate, we still need to wait for the final results to verify.

After Dong Bi pondered for a while, he suddenly changed the topic, "Ji Chang, you go to Chengming Palace immediately, and ask Master Shi Tao to come and talk."

Ma Liang responded, turned and left.

Dong Bi stood up and walked out of the study.Finished under the big tree behind the study door, looking at the wild flowers blooming in the corner, feeling a little dazed.

In a blink of an eye, it's almost early autumn...

******
Liyang, built by the great-grandfather Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty, has been an important place for military strategists since ancient times.

Geographically, it belongs to the Haihe River Basin, and the Weihe River flows through the city.Winning Liyang is equivalent to gaining a firm foothold in Henan.

Naturally, Cao Cao did not dare to take it lightly. After learning of the loss of the white horse, he immediately ordered Cao Chun to be the governor and Xu Chu as the deputy general.As Ma Liang said, it takes a strong general to regain the white horse.At the same time, Yu Jin, the prefect of Jiyin County, was ordered to lead the general Niu Jin to guard Puyang; Mao Jie, the prefect of Chenliu County, was ordered to lead the two brothers Xia Houde and Xia Houen to guard the line from Suanzao to Wating.

In terms of form, Cao Cao now has a great advantage.

That is, as Ma Liang said, Yuan Shao did not dare to send troops to Jingzhao, so as not to offend Dong Pi.This made Yuan Jun occupy Baima, but Xuchang had little influence.On the third day after Cao Chun and Xu Chu led the army, Cao Cao ordered Xia Houyuan and Xun Yu to guard Xuchang, led 3 horses, and marched towards Liyang.Almost at the same time, Liu Bei ordered general Zhang Yan to lead an army to attack Pengcheng, which put Cao Cao in trouble.

Cao Cao is extremely resilient.

The more dangerous he was, the clearer his mind became.

Liu Bei, but the ringworm of the scales is nothing to worry about.It seems that he attacks fiercely, but he is actually a paper tiger.Liu Biao was ill now, and the Jingzhou army was on the defensive under Wuling's attack, unable to mobilize too many troops to support Liu Bei's attack.This also made Cao Cao less of the threat of Nanyang, and could concentrate all his attention on Runan to deal with Guan Yu.

As for Pengcheng Kingdom...

Although Zhang Yan has a strategy, his art of war and martial arts are good.However, Pengcheng Kingdom has been operated by Cao Cao for many years, which is also extraordinary.Liang Mao, the prefect of Pengcheng, has a calm demeanor. In addition, Cao Cao's brothers Cao Cheng and Cao Shun have strong martial arts and outstanding arrow skills, which are enough to resist.

Cao Cao is currently at a disadvantage and doesn't mind defending with all his might.

And there is Sun Ce behind Liu Bei, so it must not make Liu Bei feel relaxed!
Cao Cao arranged it very well, but he ignored some details.Mao Jie led the army to garrison Suanzao, and indeed followed Cao Cao's instructions to defend with all their strength.However, Xia Houde, his general, was just at the age of youth.Xia Houde, who guards Wating, looks at the white horse.Sui Yuanjin challenged Wating every day. On the first day and the second day, Xia Houde could hold back, but on the third day...

Sui Yuanjin went on as usual, eight hundred euphorbia men scolded Wating village.

Those eight hundred euphorbia warriors scolded people with unbelievable viciousness.Xiahoude endured it for two days, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, but his brother Xiahouen stopped him and broke out of Watingzhai.This Xiahoude is a member of the Xiahou family. He was born in a jade tree facing the wind. He has a big spear in his hand and is quite brave.

Sui Yuanjin, on the other hand, is nine feet tall, he sits off a horse, and holds a pair of one-horned bronze figures in his palms. His face is ferocious, like a ferocious god.

Xia Houde jumped on his horse and twisted his gun, and rushed towards Sui Yuanjin without saying a word.Na Sui Yuanjin was born with infinite strength, and a pair of one-horned bronze figures weighed more than two hundred catties.After only two or three rounds, Xia Houde couldn't resist.Xia Houen, who was behind the formation, saw it and came out.

The two generals joined forces to fight Sui Yuanjin, and fought for another four or five rounds.

Sui Yuanjin suddenly yelled, "Little thief, die!"

When kicking with Xia Houen in the wrong direction, the one-horned bronze figure flew out with a backhand.There was only a sound from Hua Lengling, and I don't know if this Sui Yuanjin was influenced by Dong Pi, and wrapped a ten-foot-long chain around the one-horned bronze figure.Xia Houen was caught off guard and was beaten until his brains burst.Xia Houde's eyes turned red when he saw it... He charged at Sui Yuanjin with his gun, but Sui Yuanjin bought an opening and knocked him off his horse.

The main general died in battle, and the soldiers of Watingzhai immediately dispersed.

Sui Yuanjin took advantage of the situation and led troops to capture Watingzhai, and Chen Bing was under the city of Yan County.This Yan County is the last barrier for Suanzao.If Yan County falls, Suanzao will be in danger.When Mao Jie heard that Watingzhai had fallen, he was shocked and sent people to Xuchang for help.

At this time, the vanguard main force of Yuan Shao's army, led by Han Qiong, crossed the river and stationed troops in Liyang.

This Han Qiong was nicknamed Hebei Spear King.In the palm of his hand is a Tilu gun, which weighs seventy catties.The ancestral marksmanship is extremely mysterious.In Jizhou, it has the title of 'First Shot'.Seeing Sui Yuanjin winning consecutive victories, Han Qiong couldn't bear it anymore.After uniting with Sui Yuan Jinbing, he immediately raised his troops to go south and went straight to Yan County.The two formed a formation under the city of Yan County, and Han Qiong circled his horse on a leaping horse, calling for formation under the city.

Autumn is in full swing, and under the city of Yan County, flags are flying, and the cold light is flickering.

As soon as Han Qiong called out at the base of the city, he heard the sound of trumpets in the city, and then the city gate opened... Xu Chu led an army of three thousand leopard cavalry and rushed out of the city.

Xu Chu and Cao Chun arrived in Yan County the night before.

The two of them knew the importance of Yan County, so Cao Chun meant to guard and wait for Cao Cao's army to arrive.But Xu Chu didn't think so.

"Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins! Zihe is too cautious... Yuan Jun took the white horse first, and recaptured Wating, with arrogance. However, our army lost two battles in a row, and the morale was low. If you kill General Yuan, it will have a great impact on the morale of our army If you can't win the two battles as soon as possible, wouldn't you have failed the prime minister's entrustment? If you don't want to, you can fight for me. Wait for me to learn, General Yuan's skills."

Speaking of this, Cao Chun knew he couldn't stop him.

Although he is Cao Cao's family, Xu Chu is Cao Cao's personal guard.In terms of closeness, Xu Chu accompanied Cao Cao every day, but Cao Chun was not comparable.

Xu Chu led the battle, and immediately laid his sword in front of the two armies.

"I am Xu Chu, a tiger idiot, General Yuan will be killed by name!"

Han Qiong didn't show any weakness, and hurried forward and said: "What kind of tiger idiot... is it just that the Dong family's defeated general dares to come out to shame you? Han Qiong, the spear king of a certain family in northern Hebei, is here to take your life."

Xu Chu and Dong Bi had only confronted each other once!
Fifteen years ago, under the city of Xingyang.The four generals fought against Dong Bi, but they were beaten to the ground by Dong Bi, and Xu Chu cited it as the greatest hatred in his life.

It's a pity that after this, he never confronted Dong Bi again.

Now hearing Han Qiong mentioning that matter, he couldn't help being furious and urged his horse to rush out.

The nine-eared and eight-ringed machete Hua Leng rang straight, and with a cold light, it slashed down on the head.Han Qiong raised his gun to block it, only to hear a clang, Han Qiong and Xu Chu retreated at the same time, but it was an even result.

Xu Chu said angrily, "With such skill, how dare you become king?"

That Han Qiong's arm was numb, but his mouth did not let the wind fall, and he sneered: "When I take your life, I will change my name to Tiger King!"

As he spoke, the big gun fluttered, and several gunshots the size of bowls came out.This is not a flower gun, but a solid iron gun.This move alone is enough to show Han Qiong's ability, and he has already entered the room.They circled with Xu Chu and two horses, and they fought together.

Xu Chu's sword was like a thunderbolt, with great strength and heavy momentum.

Han Qiong can't leave Xu Chu's vitals with his gun, but his gun is fast.

The two fought dozens of rounds.Xu Chu suddenly roared, pulled his horse back to the main formation.

In the previous confrontation, Xu Chu was not at a disadvantage.Han Qiong was worried about Xu Chu's tricks, so he didn't dare to chase him.I saw that Xu Chu returned to the formation, took off his armor, and took off his peeping.Lifting the knife and getting on the horse again, his momentum was like madness, and he roared angrily: "Han Qiong, take your life!"

In late autumn, the weather has turned cooler.

I saw that Xu Chu's skin was dark, and his sinews and flesh were as sharp as iron, with sharp edges and corners.Han Qiong was almost frightened, thinking: Is this guy crazy?
Xu Chu is indeed crazy!
Since Xingyang, Xu Chu has set a goal for himself, and that is Dong Bi.Think about it, a person who aims to be the number one general in the world is now in an inextricable fight with an unknown pawn. If it spreads, what face does he have to call himself a tiger idiot?
The machete became more and more fierce, and there was a gust of wind.

There were clouds of swords, and the cold light flickered.When Xu Chu went crazy, Han Qiong couldn't stand it anymore... After thirty or forty rounds, it became dangerous.Sui Yuanjin, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that Han Qiong was at a disadvantage, and immediately shouted: "Don't panic, general, I'll help you!"

Just at this time, the sound of killing was suddenly heard.

A group of troops suddenly came out from the slope, and the leading general was Cao Chun, who shouted sharply: "Shameless General Yuan, who wants to bully the few with the crowd? Cao Chun is here!"

The Leopard Cavalry Army was carefully trained by Cao Cao.

Although it is not as good as the Tiger Cavalry Army, its combat effectiveness is also exceptionally amazing.Sui Yuanjin didn't expect that an elite Cao army would suddenly come out, and he was caught off guard, commanding euphorbia soldiers to meet them.It should be said that Han Qiong also brought thousands of halberd soldiers, all of whom were Yuan Jun's elite.However, Yuan Jun was arrogant because of his consecutive victories.The first encounter with a Leopard Cavalry Army whose fighting strength is not weaker than theirs, the result can be imagined.

When the two armies fought fiercely for two sticks of incense under the city of Yan County, Han Qiong was picked on the shoulder by Xu Chuyi, and with a loud cry, he pulled his horse and left.

With the defeat of the main general, the morale of the Euphorbia soldiers who had encountered a tough battle for the first time immediately dropped.

Sui Yuanjin desperately resisted the attack of the leopard cavalry, but was shot in the thigh by Cao Chun with an arrow, and almost fell off his horse.The two generals failed successively, and Yuan Jun had no intention of fighting again.Cao Chun and Xu Chu took advantage of the victory to pursue and lead an army of [-] leopard cavalry. The second general Han Sui who was chasing him fled in embarrassment, and took advantage of the situation to take back Watingzhai, so the pursuit stopped.

In this battle, the Euphorbia soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

When Han Qiongsui and Yuanjin returned to Baima, only half of the five thousand euphorbia men left for the expedition survived.

At present, the two generals dare not fight again, Han Qiong is recovering from his wounds in Liyang, and Sui Yuanjin is in Baima Lizhai, echoing each other, forming a corner.

Xu Chu and Cao Chun tried to attack twice, but seeing that the effect was not obvious, they stopped attacking.

A few days later, Cao Cao led the army to Suanzao, and Yuan Shao's army also arrived on the north bank of the river, ready to cross the river for a decisive battle.

But at this moment, a news came from Chang'an, which caused all the princes of the Guandong to temporarily stop their attacks.
