The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 284 Chapter 283
Outside Puyang City, in Yuan Shaojun's camp, a map was spread out in front of Yuan Shao, and he was closely watching Zhang Yanjun's movements.

At this time, a soldier came in from the outside, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the scouts caught a messenger, saying that it was sent by the emperor, and he also brought an imperial edict."

"Oh? Bring it in!"

Not long after, the envoy was brought into Yuan Shao's camp. When Yuan Shao saw him, he didn't pay homage, but asked arrogantly, "Bring me the imperial decree!"

The emissary was the emperor's servant, and when he entered Yuan Shao's barracks, he was already trembling. Seeing Yuan Shao's arrogance this time, he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of offending Yuan Shao, and if he was killed, he would die.

Therefore, the envoy obediently handed over the imperial edict, and the soldiers handed over the imperial edict to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao took the imperial decree, opened it, looked at it hastily, and frowned immediately.

The imperial decree meant to reprimand Yuan Shao, and it even said that Yuan Shao issued a false edict. This kind of behavior is no doubt a rebellious official. Cut it off!"

When the envoy heard this order, he was frightened out of his wits immediately, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging Yuan Shao for mercy, and a torrent gushed out from between his legs, and he was so frightened that he peed on his pants.

The soldiers walked out with the envoy in their arms. At this moment, they met Tian Feng who came in from the outside. Tian Feng glanced at the imperial decree that was torn in two on the ground, and Yuan Shao who was full of anger, and immediately understood what was going on. The soldier said: "Wait a minute!"

"Military Master, if I don't kill this person, it will be hard to vent my hatred!" Yuan Shao said from the side.

Tian Feng said: "This man is an angel after all, and many people have seen the angel enter the barracks with an imperial decree. If the lord kills him, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the soldiers. Besides, when the two armies are at war, they still don't want to kill him." Besides, this is still an angel?"

Hearing people's persuasion to eat enough, Yuan Shao heard Tian Feng's words, and didn't say anything more. He just waved his hand at the soldiers, let the envoy go, and then said to the soldiers: "Send the envoy out of the camp!"

"Here!"

After the soldiers left, Tian Feng picked up the imperial decree on the ground, and looked at the two halves together. The imperial decree was full of words to blame Yuan Shao, and there were no dirty words in the curse. Looking at this vigorous and powerful The font, as well as the meaning expressed between the lines, Tian Feng had to admire the person who wrote this edict.

"It's a pity that such a talented person is under Zhang Yan's command!" Tian Feng said regretfully after reading the edict.

This edict was written by Ruan Yu, Zhang Yan's marching secretary. Ruan Yu was outstanding in talent and was one of the seven sons of Jian'an in history.

When Ruan Yu was young, he used to worship Cai Yong as his teacher, and learned a lot of knowledge from Cai Yong, and because of his outstanding talent, he was called a "wizard" by Cai Yong.

In the official history, Ruan Yu lived in Cao Wei, and was hired by Cao Cao as a meritorious service. Most of the military and state books at that time were written by Ruan Yu and Chen Lin.

Tian Feng had a unique vision, and he could tell at a glance that the person who wrote this edict was not a simple person, but a rare one.

Yuan Shao was not interested in these things. Seeing that Tian Feng's words were a bit off topic, he cleared his throat and asked, "Military Master, why are you here?"

Tian Feng said realistically: "I saw the angel coming, so I followed. Since this imperial decree is to blame the lord, it means that Zhang Yan does not have the slightest fear of the lord. And Zhang Yan has arrived with the army After leaving Lihu, it is only tens of miles away from Puyang, and Zhang Yan has few soldiers, and even His Majesty has brought them out. If you want to bring Zhang Yan and others into Puyang City, it will definitely be unrealistic. My lord, it is better to concentrate on the advantages As long as Zhang Yan dies and the army has no leader, our army can wipe out Zhang Yan's subordinates who are scattered in various places one by one."

After hearing this, Yuan Shao felt that what Tian Feng said was very reasonable, so he began to discuss with Tian Feng how to attack Lihu.

Finally, after some discussion and consideration, Yuan Shao decided to leave [-] soldiers and horses to surround Puyang City, and let Shenpei be in charge of commanding the whole army, and Jushou, the right army division, also stayed to assist Shenpei.

On the other hand, Yuan Shao led Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and other four strong generals, leading an army of [-], and rushed towards Lihu City mightily.

Yuan Jun's soldiers who had been recharging their energy under Puyang City were extremely excited after receiving the order to go out. Once the order was issued, the soldiers over there were ready to go, and under the leadership of Yuan Shao, they headed south.

On the tower of Puyang City, Yu Jin, the right general, saw that almost half of the Yuan Jun outside had left, and he didn't know where they were going.

Yu Jin, who was always smart, immediately guessed that the reinforcements were coming, and Yuan Shao left with the army, probably to deal with the reinforcements.

Although the outside of Puyang City was surrounded by layers, and the number of enemy troops was far greater than that in the city, fortunately, there was a strong city wall to block the enemy's entry into the city.But the reinforcements were different, they were walking on a flat road, there was nothing to cover them, and Yuan's soldiers were numerous, so it was hard to say whether the reinforcements could escape the disaster.

Although Yu Jin guessed that Yuan Shao was going to deal with the reinforcements, he was powerless to help, because there were still [-] troops stationed outside Puyang City, if he led the troops out now, it would be tantamount to hitting the enemy's hands.

Therefore, Yu Jin could only stand firm and not fight, and he could only silently pray in his heart for the incoming reinforcements, praying that they would be safe and sound.

……

In the county government office of Lihu City, Jin Yiwei quickly walked in from the outside and reported to Zhang Yan: "Yuan Shao led an army of 5000 troops and is marching towards Lihu. There are a total of [-] vanguards, and they are all cavalry, led by Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang."

After hearing this, Zhang Yan sat there with a blank expression on his face, and waved to Jin Yiwei, motioning him to leave.

It was completely within his prediction that Yuan Shao led the army to fight, and he also guessed that the vanguard general was either Yan Liang or Wen Chou.These two brave men who won the three armies were Yuan Shao's confidantes and the mainstay of Yuan Shao's army. They were unparalleled in battle, invincible to the letter, and even butchers with blood on their hands.Especially Yan Liang, who is bloodthirsty and likes to massacre cities very much.

Zhang Yan had met Yan Liang a few times in Qingzhou, and even saw Yan Liang charging on the battlefield with his own eyes, and he had a deep impression on him.

However, in Zhang Yan's eyes, Yan Liang is just a brave and foolhardy man, as long as he does a little trick, Yan Liang can be captured and killed in one battle!

And Zhang Yan has already arranged everything, just waiting for Yan Liang to arrive.

"My lord, General Huben has prepared everything, and sent officials to invite my lord to investigate!" A scout came to the hall and bowed to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan nodded, went straight out of the hall, stepped on his dark cloud riding snow horse, and together with the scouts, came to Luomapo, five miles north of Fox City. It was a vast expanse of white, the north wind was howling, and it was bitingly cold. In the woods on both sides of the road, there were leafless branches towering into the clouds, densely intertwined, and people could see through the gaps whether there was an ambush inside. Unobstructed sightlines.

It was such a place, but Xu Chu's [-] elite infantry were ambushing.

However, when you look with your naked eyes, you find that there is nothing here except the vast expanse of white snow, not even a bird or beast.

After Zhang Yan finished reading, he nodded in satisfaction, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "It's well hidden. As the saying goes, you are the elite teachers of my big man. This time, facing Yuan Shao rebellion, do you have the confidence to defeat Yuan Shao's army completely with less?"

"One hundred times more confidence!" In the wilderness, there was a shout that shook the sky and the earth, the voice was deafening, and it went straight to the sky.

At this time, a knight galloped over quickly from a distance. The man on the horse had a hulking back and a strong physique like a cow. He wore a silver helmet on his head and a silver armor on his body. The sword with a gleaming silver was none other than General Huben Xu Chu.

In Zhang Yan's army, the Five Tiger Generals almost all had silver helmets and armors, and even the weapons in their hands were plated with a layer of silver, so they looked silvery.

However, among the five tiger generals, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Zhao Yun all looked extraordinarily dazzling and handsome in silver helmets and silver armor, but only Xu Chu looked nondescript in this outfit. of.Not because he is ugly, but because his figure is too majestic.

In fact, the equipment of General Five Tigers is not all silver, but a layer of silver is plated on the equipment, and the inside is still made of [-]-year-old steel.

Among the four metals of gold, silver, copper, and iron, iron has the highest hardness, so general weapons and armor are made of iron.

However, in Zhang Yan's army, all iron weapons and battle armor have been eliminated. After several years of accumulation, the whole army has already replaced it with more hardened hundred-steel.

Xu Chu gradually approached Zhang Yan, then reined in the horse, and without dismounting, he cupped his hands at Zhang Yan on the horse's back and said, "My lord, all the soldiers have followed the lord's instructions, and they are all in ambush here, and no one can see Get out of their hiding place, and the whole army is ready to ambush, as long as the lord gives an order, they will start to attack one after another!"

Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Very good, you did a good job this time. However, the vanguard general who came this time is Yan Liang. He is a mighty general in Yuan Shao's army. Did he kill it?"

Xu Chu was expressionless, and said coldly: "Whoever came here, I haven't seen blood on this big knife for several years. When the time comes, I will present Yan Liang's head in front of the lord. "

"Hehe, good! With your words, I feel relieved. However, Yan Liang is not someone who is waiting for you. You must not underestimate the enemy."

"Here!"
