Great Han Empire
Chapter 846
Chapter 846 The Heroes of Troubled Times Compete in the Central Plains
The coalition forces attacked at the same time, intending to use their superiority in strength to tear apart the defense of the northern border army.
Yuan Xi was worried about the safety of Yancheng and Fengqiu, and the warlords attacked fiercely.In his opinion, if he could take down Chenliu in the shortest possible time, and then send troops to rescue Yancheng, he would still be able to fulfill his father's mission, which might alleviate his father's anger towards him.I disobeyed my father's order, and the consequences were unpredictable, and this practice was a challenge to my father's authority.Yuan Xi was unwilling to give up the opportunity he had just obtained, and he longed to return to Luoyang.
The Huqi Battalion led by Zhao Yun used to be the Black Panther Yi Cong Battalion, the elite of the elite cavalry in northern Xinjiang, and all the soldiers were experienced and fierce soldiers.Although they lacked experience in defending the city, the defense was very chaotic at the beginning of the war, and the city walls were once full of dangers, but these black panthers were proficient in battle formation, sharp in offense and defense, and their archery skills were sharp, precise, and fast. Bows and arrows, which greatly made up for their lack of experience in defending the city.After several fierce fights, the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang gradually stabilized their positions and stood firmly on the city wall.
During the breaks in the battle, Zhao Yun leaned against the wall alone, looking up at the sky with an extremely stern expression.
Jifeng walked up to him quietly, looked at him timidly, and stopped talking.Although he and Sima Yi captured Chen Liucheng, the methods they used were too bloody and cruel.Zhao Yun obviously couldn't accept this kind of attack method. Since entering the city, he never showed a smile on his face, and ignored himself and Sima Yi.
Sima Yi knew that his attack strategy violated the taboo of the northern army.For so many years, under the strict rule of the general, the Northern Xinjiang Army never dared to burn, kill and loot the people.When Zhang Liao dug embankments to flood Huaicheng on the Hanoi battlefield, he took a great risk and led his cavalry to drive all the people within dozens of miles of Huaicheng to Pinggao city because he was worried that he would be charged with massacring the people.I am eager to do meritorious service this time, I just want to achieve my goal, and I have long forgotten these unwritten rules.It's okay for General Hutou to kill and surrender, and it's certainly okay for me to capture Chen Liu in the name of burning, killing and looting, but now it seems that I think it's easy.I am not a tiger-headed general. With my qualifications, even if I have made great achievements in plundering the city, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the disaster of being punished by the general.Looking at Zhao Yun's face, he knew that he didn't think about this matter, and he acted too impulsively.
But Sima Yi saved a hand.He knew that his method had a high chance of success, and the credit would definitely be great, but if he monopolizes this effort, the rewards will be limited, because he is not the general's confidant, and the credit for capturing Chenliu will most likely fall on Zhao Yun's head. So he pulled up Jifeng.
Jifeng is the son of Hengji, a warrior from Karasuma.In his early years, Heng Ji followed the great generals to fight in all directions, and he was life and death friends with many generals in northern Xinjiang.After Jifeng arrived in the Northern Border Army, he was deeply loved by the general and many generals, and a few years later he took the position of commander of the Black Panther Regimental Battalion.The imperial court implemented the recruitment system, and the Black Panther Yicong battalion was merged into the Northern Army and reorganized into the Huqi Camp. Ji Yi then became one of the eight youngest lieutenants of the Northern Army with a rank of [-] shi in the imperial court.Many generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army have fought for more than ten years and are only school lieutenants. Many people complain about this, so helping Jifeng get more meritorious service has become the consensus of Hengji's former friends. This will not only make the general happy, It can also stop the mouths of those who are dissatisfied, and everyone is happy.
In Hebei, those who were closely related to the general were all in high positions at a young age.Wen Youtian Chou and Fu Gan.Because of the relationship between Mrs. Xiaoyu and Tian Zhong, Tian Chou is considered Li Hong's relative.Fu Gan was the son of Fu Xie (xie), the Marquis of the Zhuang Festival, and Fu Xie formed a deep friendship with Li Hong in Xiliang during his lifetime.Wu You Yanliang, Zhao Yun.It is normal for warriors to form a brotherhood because of similar temperaments.Jifeng is considered to be Li Hong's nephew and nephew. In this generation, apart from Fu Gan, Jifeng is Li Hong's favorite.
Sima Yi thought to himself, if Ji Feng and I capture Chen Liu together, the reward will definitely be great, and it will also gain Li Hong's favor and appreciation, and get more chances to make meritorious deeds.However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations, and Zhao Yun was offended by this move. It is estimated that there is no hope for the reward, so let's first seek to offset the merits and demerits.Zhao Yun was well-known in the Northern Frontier Army. He was upright and humble, honest and self-disciplined, loved soldiers like sons, and managed the army gently.Sima Yi felt guilty, wanted to test Zhao Yun's tone, and privately advised Ji Feng to admit his mistake to Zhao Yun first, and see if things could turn around. .Although Jifeng had always been close to Zhao Yun, it was the first time he saw Zhao Yun so angry, and he was extremely disturbed.
Jifeng mustered up his courage, and just about to speak, Zhao Yun said first, "Go and call Zhongda here."
Sima Yi stood in front of Zhao Yun anxiously.
Zhao Yun looked at him, sighed, reached out and took the battle helmet from Sima Yi's hand, and slowly put it on his head, "You are a Shangguan, so you have to look like a Shangguan. I think you like to go around with your helmet Shaking, did you learn this habit from General Tiger Head?"
Sima Yi was very nervous at first, but when he heard this, he was secretly pleased. Knowing that Zhao Yun was not really angry, he immediately relaxed, "General Hutou told me, don't put your head in an iron pot all day long, take it out often to let the wind out, and stay awake." , otherwise you will be suffocated."
Zhao Yun frowned, turned around and walked forward.Sima Yi smiled and hurriedly followed.
"You came to the Central Plains battlefield, and the general personally asked the eldest princess to invite you." Zhao Yun said unhurriedly, "The general likes you very much. He once told me that he would be able to take the post of general in his place in the future." Yes, none other than you."
Sima Yi looked at Zhao Yun in disbelief, almost suspecting that he had heard wrongly, and the extreme excitement made him tremble involuntarily.
Zhao Yun stopped, turned to look at him, and said in a very serious tone: "Do you know why I told you?"
Sima Yi instantly understood what Zhao Yun meant.After the excitement, extreme remorse immediately overwhelmed him, making him miserable.I wanted to do meritorious service so much that I even resorted to unscrupulous means, and ended up ruining my bright future.
"Jifeng is from Karasuma. There are many reasons why he commanded the Huqi battalion. The Huqi battalion used to be the black panther regiment, and it was the general's personal guard cavalry. This is the main reason why Jifeng became the eighth lieutenant of the Northern Army. No matter how much meritorious service he has in the future, he will also be the school lieutenant of Huqiying, a senior official with a rank and salary of two thousand shi, and he will not leave Huqiying. In other words, even if you share with him Thanks to you, you won't get a chance to be promoted, on the contrary, you have harmed yourself and Jifeng."
"After this matter is reported to the imperial court, the ministers in the court, including many generals in the army, will definitely impeach them. It is not that the imperial court opposes harming the people when necessary, but that generals of barbarian origin like Jifeng are strictly prohibited from harming the common people. The court He will kill one to warn others, and will never tolerate it. After this battle, if the general can save his life, it will be considered good if he continues to stay in the Huqi camp."
Sima Yi suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed dramatically.
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "You played a lot of tricks and made many mistakes in this matter. You intended to win over Jifeng and please the general, but you accidentally hurt Jifeng. The court's punishment of Jifeng will implicate Hu Qiying, The soldiers of the Hu Qiying used to be the loyal servants of the general, and they were extremely loyal to the general. This made the general feel threatened, and felt that the court was deliberately using this matter to weaken his military power. The reason why Ji Feng was punished was because of your attack. Since you are not a close friend of the general, then your purpose of doing this is obvious."
Sweat was already dripping on Sima Yi's forehead.Being greedy for fame and fame, impulsive and reckless, the consequence may be the life of the entire family, and the shock of the entire Jinyang court.Sima Yi stood on the tower with his head downcast, all thoughts were lost for a moment, and he was extremely depressed.
"Zhongda, leading an army to fight a war does not depend on whether you have completed the attack target, but whether you have preserved the interests of the majority of people in the process of completing the attack target." Zhao Yun said in a low voice as he walked slowly, " If you win a battle, but let many people lose their interests, your fault will be far greater than your credit. You have read the history books, and you should know that the reason why many good fighters in history did not end well is the most important One point is that they only consider their own merits, their own interests, or understand the purpose of conquest from their own point of view, completely ignoring the overall interests of the war.”
"Conquest is a part of state affairs. Conquest must conform to state policy, and conquest must follow the imperial court's offensive and defensive strategies in military affairs. Only when the top and bottom are consistent can we be invincible."
"The top and bottom are consistent, do you understand?" Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to pat Sima Yi beside him, and asked solemnly.
Sima Yi nodded.
"Then tell me."
"The general wants us to attack Chenliu and surround Chenliu, so as to cut off Cao Cao and Liu Bei's food and retreat routes, and hold back Yuan Shao's army. He didn't let us capture Chenliu."
"After we captured Chenliu, the iron cavalry immediately lost their maneuverability, and the advantage became a disadvantage."
"We are holding on to the city. The rebels only need to surround us with one part, and the rest can safely go east to rescue. In this way, we not only failed to cut off Cao Cao and Liu Bei's food and retreat routes, but also held back Yuan Shao's army. , On the contrary, the rendezvous speed of the two rebels is faster. Once they meet, they will be able to block the advance of the main force of our army. We will not be rescued for a long time..."
Sima Yi looked up at the soldiers around him, almost crying in pain.These are the Black Panthers who have followed the general for more than ten years, and they are all fierce soldiers who have participated in the Sunset Plains War. If they die in Chenliu for no reason like this, the general will go crazy, he will never let yourself go.
"My lord, why did you enter the city? Why did you order the army to enter the city?" Sima Yi was completely desperate. He grabbed the helmet on his head, stared at Zhao Yun and yelled loudly.
Zhao Yun stroked his short beard, looked up at the rebel battle formation with banners flying below the city, a trace of determination and murderous intent appeared on his handsome face.
"We will defend Chenliu, and the rebels will withdraw only when the army reaches the city. In this way, we will advance to the front line of Fengqiu and Chenliu in the shortest possible time, so we will have more time and we can stand firm in Yanzhou It can also quickly form a decisive battle with the rebels."
"This is the only chance for you and Jifeng to get rid of crimes and make meritorious deeds." Zhao Yun said calmly, "As for the crimes of killing and injuring people, resisting orders and seizing the city, and damaging justice, I will bear it alone, so you will be fine."
"My lord..." Sima looked at Zhao Yun gratefully, tears almost fell down.
"Don't thank me. I did this not to get rid of your crimes, but for the stability of the court. If we win the Central Plains War, we will start to calm down the great cause of the world. If we lose, we will work hard and go south to conquer , and to do all this, we need a cohesive imperial court and great generals." Zhao Yun glanced at Sima Yi lightly, "Zhongda, you are too young. This lesson will teach you what war is. Bloody The battlefields and the soul-stirring killings are nothing but the continuation of state affairs. The gains and losses of a city or a place, or the victory or defeat of a battle, cannot determine the outcome of a war. It is state affairs and the court that really determine the outcome of a war. If you don’t know how to link state affairs with war, the imperial court and the battlefield, you will never become an outstanding general in this dynasty, let alone sit in the position of a great general in this dynasty.”
Sima Yi bowed himself to be taught.
"I will let Jifeng strictly keep the secret." Zhao Yun finally showed a smile on his face, "My personal reputation is nothing, I just hope you don't let the general down."
"My lord, do you think we can hold on to Chen Liu? Can we last until the army comes to help us?" Sima Yi asked anxiously.Zhao Yun's words had a great shock and impact on him, almost destroying all of Sima Yi's self-confidence in just a few moments.
"Be confident." Zhao Yun put the helmet on Sima Yi's head again, "Confidence can enable us to overcome fear and defeat all opponents."
"Boom..." The war drum sounded, and the enemy's attack started again.
Zhao Yun looked at the enemy soldiers rushing up from the city like a tide, sneered lightly, and waved his hands back, "Beating the drum..."

On the second night of the Chenliu battle, the coalition camp.
The scouts flew horses to report that the main force of the northern Xinjiang army had crossed the Jishui River, conquered the two cities of Jiyang and Donghun within a day, and was advancing rapidly towards Chenliu.
Yuan Xi was shocked and urgently summoned Tian Feng, Xu You, Liang Qi, Wen Pin and others to discuss the matter.
"Is it the main force of the northern Xinjiang army, or some of the northern Xinjiang cavalry that surrounded Donghun and Jiyang a few days ago." Xu You panicked and shook his head again and again, unable to believe the scout's report, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei brought back 7 troops In Yanzhou, even if Liu Bei's troops go to support Guan Yu in Xuzhou, they still have an army of [-]. According to our investigation, the Northern Xinjiang Army removed the troops left behind in Changyi, and the Dingtao area had no more than [-] troops. What advantage defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei in such a short period of time? Where did their armies go? They were all eaten by leopards?"
Everyone was dumbfounded and found it incredible.The advance speed of the Northern Border Army was too fast. It was less than a month since they crossed the river to attack Chenliu, and the Northern Border Army had advanced thousands of miles.
"Yuan Hao..." Yuan Sheng patted Tian Feng, who had a very bad complexion, and asked anxiously, "How to deal with it? Are Cao Cao and Liu Bei finished? The whole army is wiped out?"
"No." Tian Feng half-lyed on the mat and said weakly, "In the Dingtao area, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have 6 to [-] horses. If Li Hong wants to fight them, he has to fight them. Extremely unfavorable. The decisive battle will lead to the loss of the Northern Army's troops too quickly and too much. If they have insufficient troops, it will be difficult for them to quickly occupy Yanzhou, let alone gain a foothold in Yanzhou. If they cannot gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou, the Northern Army will not be able to continue in the Central Plains Great battle. In order to achieve the goal of capturing the Central Plains, the Northern Xinjiang Army must fight to the front line of Chenliu and Fengqiu before our troops from all sides join forces to counterattack, so as to win the whole territory of Yanzhou and win the decisive battle. Starting from this point, Li Hong has no determination for a decisive battle yet."
"Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not willing to fight a decisive battle. They wiped out all the troops and defeated the northern army, which is equivalent to handing over Yanzhou and Xuzhou to us. Will they be so generous?"
"No." Tian Feng asked and answered himself, and continued, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei must have retreated. They want to draw the northern army to Chenliu, let us fight against Li Hong, and use this method to consume our troops. "
"Then why didn't the scouts find Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army?" Yuan Xi asked, "Where did they go?"
Tian Feng closed his eyes, frowned and thought.Could it be that they went north and withdrew to Yancheng and Changyuan along the Pushui River?There are more than 200 miles from Dingtao to Changyuan, and the northern Xinjiang army followed by cavalry, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army may collapse.Going north is a dead end, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will not kill themselves.Where will they retreat?
"Should we divide our troops and go eastward?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Yuan Xi asked.
"We can't divide the troops, we should attack Chenliu." Xu You hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "No matter whether Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been wiped out or have withdrawn from somewhere, it is a fact that the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army is rushing towards them. We want to block Northern Xinjiang Army, if we want to stop the Northern Xinjiang Army on the second line of defense, we must take back Chenliu. We have no time, we have to attack day and night."
If Chen Liu couldn't get it back, he just lost it in such a muddle-headed way, and Xu You's good life would come to an end, so he strongly opposed Yuan Xi's suggestion.
"The Northern Frontier Army in the city is very powerful, and the defense is quite tight and strong. Our losses are too great." Yuan Xi thought that the siege of the city was blocked today, and the idea of continuing to attack became less and less.He had already disobeyed his father's order by concentrating his forces on attacking Chen Liu.Now that the battle situation has changed again, the life and death of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army is uncertain. Once he fails to take down the city before the Northern Xinjiang Army kills Chenliu, and falls into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy, not only will the army be lost, but the serious shortage of troops may lead to Junyi, Kaifeng, etc. The first-line defense collapsed in an instant, and his father's plan to keep the Northern Army in front of the second line of defense would also fail completely, and Luoyang would directly face the threat of the Northern Army.
You are going to die, don't even think about dragging me to be buried with you.Yuan Xi looked coldly at Xu You's rapidly opening and closing mouth, but didn't listen to a word.It was not my fault that Chen Liu was lost, but if I lost my army and lost my army, lost Junyi and Kaifeng after Xu You, and opened all the doors to Henan, it would be my fault.
"Divide the troops immediately." Yuan Xi said loudly, "I ordered Jiang Qi and Meng Dai to lead the army across the Bianshui River overnight, and stationed in Xiaohuang City to stop the Northern Frontier Army."
"Send Sui Zhan and Han Juzi to lead the army back to Junyi overnight. Once the Northern Army captures Xiaohuang City, they will face a crazy attack from the Northern Army. If Junyi falls, the Northern Army will cross the chasm." , go directly to Zhongmou City, and enter the hinterland of Henan, so whether Junyi can hold it will directly affect the safety of Luoyang, please two adults must stick to Junyi, and don't take a step back."
"Master Wen, please lead your army across the Langtang Canal and enter Kaifeng City." Yuan Xi cupped his hands and said to Wenpin, "Chenliu has already fallen. After the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army enters Chenliu, they will cross the Langtang Canal and attack immediately." Kaifeng. Once Kaifeng falls, the Northern Frontier Army will be able to go north and directly kill Zhongmou. Your lord has a heavy responsibility to shoulder, and you must not slack off."
Wen Pin bowed and took the order, "Chenliu fell, and the only ones who can stop the northern border army from advancing into the hinterland of Henan are Junyi and Kaifeng. Don't worry, my lord, even if I fight to the last man, I will never back down half a step. "
Yuan Xi turned to look at Tian Feng.Tian Feng nodded and agreed with his deployment.At this moment, insisting on attacking Chenliu by force will cause too much loss to the army. In addition, the Northern Xinjiang army will arrive sooner or later.In the case of insufficient troops, it is almost impossible for the army to defend Junyi and Kaifeng and firmly keep the Northern Army from the second line of defense.After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to abandon Chen Liu and stick to the two cities of Junyi and Kaifeng behind Chen Liu.
Xu You sighed, his face ashen.Yuan Sheng grasped his long beard with a dull expression.
=
On the third day, Yuan Xi retreated ten miles with an army of [-], and stationed troops on the west bank of the River River, making a last-ditch effort.
Yuan Xi planned to take advantage of the danger of the river to stop the Northern Frontier Army on the west bank of the Baoshui River.The northern Xinjiang cavalry in the city was short of food and grass and the situation of the battle was unclear. They either went out of the city to break through, or killed their horses to feed their hunger, and continued to hold on.The northern Xinjiang cavalry army went out to break through the siege, so Yuan Xi could naturally take advantage of it.If they stick to the city, Yuan Xi will count on the follow-up reinforcements to arrive at Chenliu to attack.At present, there are [-] Jingzhou reinforcements that can be counted on, including the reinforcements of Runan Xu Qiu (qiu) who came from Yuzhou, and the reinforcements of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who came from Jiangdong.Among the three reinforcements, only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu from Jiangdong have no news yet, and the other two armies are getting closer and closer to the Central Plains.
In the evening, Yuan Xi received a message from Jiang Qi from Xiaohuangcheng.The forward cavalry army of the Northern Border Army has already rushed to the foot of Xiaohuang City, and there will definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow.
The situation on the Central Plains battlefield is getting more and more serious.
=
In the evening, Yuan Xi suddenly received good news.
According to Xin Ping's letter, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, under his support, had led their troops out of Changyuan City, crossed the Pushui River, and arrived in Yancheng smoothly.
Yuan Xi, Tian Feng and others were surprised and excited.Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army miraculously retreated safely under the heavy siege of the Northern Xinjiang Army.Luck, good luck will come to the coalition forces, which makes the coalition forces suddenly smell a breath of victory.
"Quickly, tell the news to all the troops in the army." Yuan Xi repeatedly ordered, dancing with joy.
Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei suffered heavy losses under Dingtao City, they chose to retreat in time, and unexpectedly chose the most dangerous northward retreat route. This unexpected move disrupted the deployment of the Northern Xinjiang Army and made them unable to catch up. In vain, he missed an opportunity to severely injure Cao Cao and Liu Bei.After Cao Cao and Liu Bei arrived at Yancheng with an army of [-], the defense lines of Yancheng and Fengqiu, which Yuan Xi was most worried about, were consolidated, and the coalition forces could block Yan Liang's attack.The crisis on the battlefield in the north of the Central Plains was lifted, which greatly eased the severe situation on the Central Plains battlefield, and gave Yuan Xi, who was restless, a reassurance.My hesitation on the front line delayed a lot of military planes, my father would definitely blame me for my incompetence and cowardice, but now that the Yancheng and Fengqiu lines are firmly controlled by the coalition forces, Henan has no worries for the time being, and my father's blaming will be much lessened.
On the fourth day, the vanguard cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army appeared on the bank of the River River.
The war is about to begin, and Yuan Xi is getting more and more nervous.At this time, another piece of good news came from Bocheng, which greatly encouraged Yuan Xi's fighting spirit and filled him with the belief that he must win.
Zhang Fei and Jian Yong from Xuzhou, and Yang Ping from Rencheng in Yanzhou took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and entered Changyi, recapturing the family members of many officials in Yanzhou including Cao Cao, and then retreated to the bank of Heshui before the enemy encircled The safety of the South Shore.Now the family members of Cao Cao and other Yanzhou officials have been sent to Pengcheng, Xuzhou. After the Yanzhou and Xuzhou troops such as Xun Yu, Zhang Fei, Yang Ping, and Cao Chun joined forces, they have rushed to Bocheng and Kaocheng to block the Northern Xinjiang army.Guan Yu from Xuzhou and Ji Ling from Yangzhou will also rush to the front line of Bocheng in a few days.The blocking army on the battlefield in the south of the Central Plains quickly formed and possessed a strong offensive and defensive force, which no one expected.
Yuan Xi once again ordered his subordinates to tell the good news to all the troops in the army.
Tian Feng's health suddenly recovered, he walked vigorously, and spoke loudly and powerfully.After careful discussion with Yuan Xi and others, he believed that the second line of defense against the northern army had been formed, and the three battlefields of the Central Plains, North, South, and Central had enough troops to fight against the enemy.Although the loss of Chenliu, the center of this line of defense, caused certain difficulties for the blocking of the middle battlefield, but because there were rivers and ditches in Chenliu, Junyi, and Kaifeng, the northern Xinjiang cavalry could not use their own advantages to help the northern Xinjiang infantry army attack. The city pulls out the stronghold, so the difficulty of blocking the middle battlefield is less than that of the north and south flank battlefields.
Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Xi withdraw from the Lushui River, retreat to the west bank of Langtang Canal, and station at Longting between Junyi and Kaifeng City.In this way, the army can rely on the danger of Langtangqu, go north to support Junyi, and go south to support Kaifeng, thus forming a solid line of defense.
Yuan Xi followed Tian Feng's suggestion and led his army to retreat to Longting.
=
In May, Qu Yi led the northern army to conquer Xiaohuangcheng.General Li Hong led the Xiongnu iron cavalry, and Lu Bu led the Southern Army to Chenliu.
The main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army advanced across the board to the Suishui River and Langtang Canal, approaching the city of Junyi and Kaifeng.
=
Outside Chenliu City, beside the Suishui River, is the general camp.
Li Hong's face was ashen, looking murderously at Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, and Ji Feng who were kneeling in front of him, his tall body trembling slightly, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Qu Yi, Lu Bu, Yu Shi, and Fan Li stood around the three of them, looking at Li Hong worriedly, and no one dared to speak out to dissuade them.
Standing behind the general, Wei Yan's face was pale, his heart was beating violently as if it was going to burst out of his chest, the strong suffocation made him involuntarily open his mouth wide, and tried his best to breathe in a low voice.
"Now you can see how much Chen Liu has done to me." Li Hong suddenly grabbed the map on the case table, slammed it in front of the three of them, and roared, "How much does capturing Chen Liu do to me? "
"Why did you attack the city without obeying the order? Why?" Li Hong was so furious that he raised his foot and chopped it on the table. With a sound of "Kach...", the case was interrupted and split into two.Li Hong still couldn't understand his hatred, he swung his leg and kicked half of the case into a roar, directly tore the tent and flew into the air.
Qu Yi, Lu Bu and the others were startled, and each took a step back.
"General, something has happened..." Yushi and Li Hong came out of Lulongsai together, and it was the first time in more than ten years that Li Hong was so angry that he saw him hysterical.
"Brothers 870, you made me lose two brothers 870..." Li Hong pointed at Zhao Yun, wanting to tear his eyes apart, "They didn't die in the frontier fortress, they didn't die in the setting sun, but they died in such a meaningless In the city, why do you do this? You are already General Longxiang, Zhi Jinwu, one of the princes, why are you still not satisfied? Compared with the dead brother, how much reward have you received? You have obtained How many merits and honors? Why do you still want to take credit? You killed two experienced brothers in 870 for your own selfishness. Where is your conscience? Where is your conscience..."
"General, Zilong is also for the war situation..." Yushi took a quick step, supported Li Hong who was trembling with anger, and persuaded in a low voice, "You don't know Zilong's character?"
"I have great trust in you, but you...you actually...I personally commanded Shan Yuting's iron cavalry, don't you know why? Now the Huns did not burn, kill and loot, but the famous Black Panther Yi Congying camp actually burned and killed Robbery, you made my efforts come to naught in an instant, do you know how much you have delayed?"
"In order to transfer troops from the desert to the south, I have exhausted my efforts in the past two years, but the opposition from the court is extremely fierce. Why? Aren't you worried that the Hu people will burn, kill and plunder in the Central Plains? What about today? What did you do today? You Let the barbarians of the Black Panther Yicong burn, kill, and loot, and you have turned the concerns of the court into reality. The Black Panther Yicong, who has fought in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, has not changed his vicious nature, burning, killing, and looting, not to mention the desert The cavalry of the various tribes of the Hu tribe? How do you transfer the soldiers? How do you ask me to persuade the imperial court to transfer troops to the south?"
"The reason why I personally led Shan Yuting's iron cavalry to fight in the Central Plains is to tell the imperial court that the Hu people are not brutal barbarians, and the iron cavalry of the various tribes of the Hu tribe will not harm the people of the Han people. I want to use this fact to convince the imperial court. Shangzheng dispatched more cavalry to go south to the Central Plains, but what about today? What do you want me to use to convince the court today?"
"All the troops that can enter the Central Plains battlefield are here. We have no reinforcements. The only reinforcements are the Hu tribe iron cavalry in the desert. Open your eyes and see, with the current strength, can we capture the Central Plains? There are no more troops. How do we fight?"
"You made us pay such a heavy price for a small Chenliu, for an insignificant contribution. The Central Plains War may fail. Zilong, Zilong...you..."
Li Hong laughed miserably, shook his head again and again, suddenly his body tilted, and he fell to the ground with his head up.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yushi hugged him, "General...General..."
Blood came out of Li Hong's mouth.
The jade soul flew out of the sky and yelled loudly, "My people, my people, what's wrong with you... Open your eyes... My people..."
Qu Yi, Lu Bu, and Fan Li embraced him together.Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, and Ji Feng hurriedly got up from the ground, huddled together and crawled into the crowd.Wei Yan ran two steps, and just approached the crowd when he saw Li Hong open his mouth in Yushi's arms and spit out a mouthful of blood.Yushi tightly hugged Li Hong's head, widened his bloody eyes, and howled hoarsely, "Go call the doctor, go call the doctor..."
Wei Yan's mind went blank, he felt like he was going to die, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his legs in an instant.
The general fell, the general fell at this time.
"Hurry up, call the doctor..."
Wei Yan tried his best to take a step, but his legs seemed to lose feeling, and he fell to the ground.
"I'll go, I'll go..." Sima Yi burst into tears, yelling, rolling and crawling, turned around and ran out of the tent.
Suddenly, a powerful big hand grabbed Sima Yi's neck like pliers, causing him to scream in pain.
"Don't move anyone..." Qu Yi roared and pushed Sima Yi to the ground forcefully, "I will kill whoever moves."
"Yuntian..." Lu Bu looked at Qu Yi with a murderous expression in surprise, and grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand.
"Don't move." Qu Yi yelled again, pointing his finger at the front, "Stand at the door of the big tent for me, no one is allowed to come in."
Ji Feng opened his blood-stained hands and looked at Qu Yi blankly.
"You kid is stupid." Qu Yi rushed up and kicked Ji Feng to the ground, "Stand at the door, no one is allowed to come in."
"Yuntian, the general is still vomiting blood..." Yushi yelled sharply, "Call the doctor quickly."
"Here are all big officials with a salary of more than [-] shi. Anyone called a doctor will cause suspicion and panic." Qu Yi shook his hand, "Don't panic, calm down first."
He pulled off his helmet and slapped it vigorously a few times.
"Go and call any random, quick, quick..." Qu Yi pointed to Wei Yan who was lying on the ground, "Don't be so sad. The general is not dead yet, but he's just vomiting blood from exhaustion. It's no big deal. Smile." Wei Yan hurriedly climbed up Getting up, he grudgingly bared his lips.Qu Yi was furious, "Are you crying or laughing?" Wei Yan ignored him and ran out like flying.
Qu Yi turned his head to look at Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Fan Li and the others, and said solemnly, "The first thing is that the general's illness must not be revealed in the slightest, so as not to shake the morale of the army. The second thing is that before Feiyan arrives, I am temporarily in charge of the front-line command. The third thing is to immediately take Feiyan to Chen Liulai, and he will be in charge of the front-line command. The fourth thing is that after Feiyan leaves Handan, Wenhe (Jia Xu) will be in charge of Xingyuan. The fifth thing , before the general gives an order, no one is allowed to secretly report this matter to the court, otherwise..." Qu Yi stared at Lu Bu and Sima Yi, and said word by word, "Kill without pardon."
Everyone nodded in unison.Once the news of the general's illness is reported to the court, many unexpected changes may occur, and these changes may lead to the failure of the war.After all, the great general fell, and the eldest princess alone had the final say in the court, and Qu Yi, Lu Bu and others were terrified by the extraordinary means of this eldest princess.
"Get up and write me some letters." Qu Yi stretched out his legs and kicked Sima Yi who was sitting on the ground, "You are very patient. General Zilong took it for you, and you were scolded so badly by the general that you didn't react at all." No, it seems like nothing happened."
"I was wrong." Sima Yi was so regretful that he burst into tears, "I didn't know it would be like this..."
"Why are you crying?" Qu Yi gave him a pat on the head, "I underestimated you. You're a big boy, but you're very smart. No wonder the general is full of praise for you. He would rather scold Zilong than you." I would like to say a word about you. Last time you were in Hanoi and this time in Yanzhou, you played well, you are good."
When Sima Yi heard the words, he was even more heartbroken, and his tears kept flowing.When Zhao Yun said that the general appreciates him earlier, he thought Zhao Yun was trying to comfort him, but now that he heard Qu Yi say this, he was sure that it was true.It's a pity that I was young and ignorant, and ruined a bright future.Zhao Yun's character is well known to everyone, and no one would believe that Zhao Yun would disobey the general's order, drive Hu Qi to kill the people without authorization, and then seize Chen Liu for credit.This time I was clever but was misunderstood by my cleverness, causing endless troubles.
At this time Cao Renran, the supervisor under the door, rushed into the big tent and saw the general lying on the mat, Yushi and Zhao Yun were wiping the blood from his face on the left and right. Just go and draw the knife.
"What do you want to do?" Qu Yi said with a cold face, pointing at him, "The general is too tired, he vomited blood."
Holding the half-drawn saber in any hand, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one with great vigilance, as if he was facing an enemy.
"You don't think we're rebelling against each other and conspired to hurt the general?" Qu Yi sneered, "Two things. One, don't spread the word. How should you protect the general's account? Just don't let people go. Just enter the big tent. Second, immediately send a guard to call the best medical craftsman, and tell you that you are not feeling well and are sick."
Anybody bowed to accept the order, then ran to the general to take a closer look, and then hurried out.
"Wipe away your tears." Qu Yi patted Sima Yi's head, "Don't blame yourself too much, and take advantage of this opportunity to pay off your merits. The Great War in the Central Plains has just begun. Although the great general has fallen, he is still alive. Can continue to command the battle. If you can help him, think more about such a good plan as capturing Chenliu City, we can definitely win this battle. Bad things can also become good things."
Sima Yi suddenly lifted his spirits, wiped away his tears, turned over and stood up, "Your Excellency is still willing to give me such a chance?"
Qu Yi and Lu Bu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"The general only scolded General Zilong, but not you. This shows the general's intentions." Qu Yi waved his hand and said, "You and Wen Chang (Wei Yan) stay here, and while taking care of the general, you can think of an attack strategy. After Master Zhang Yan arrives, report immediately."
Sima Yi nodded repeatedly, walked to Zhao Yun's side and said in a low voice, "My lord, go and do your work. I will take good care of the general."
Zhao Yun sighed, stretched out his hand to pat the sad-looking Yushi, and pulled him to stand up together.
=
The general fell into a coma and vomited blood twice in the middle, and he was already on the verge of death.Although the medical craftsmen in the army tried their best to rescue him, there was little effect and no improvement.
In the past, when the general attacked Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju on the Youzhou battlefield, he also fell ill, but he soon recovered.This time the situation was so serious that Qu Yi, Lu Bu and others were very worried and helpless.
Although the general fell ill, the battle still had to be fought.
In the middle of the night, Qu Yi convened a meeting of the generals in the side tent.
"We have completed the primary goal of the Central Plains War. We have basically occupied the counties and counties of Yanzhou. Now what we have to do is to stabilize the battlefield in Fengqiu, Junyi, and Kaifeng, so as to form a decisive battle in the shortest possible time." Qu Yi stood in front of the map, looked at the generals and said, "My lords, please see that the current front starts from Yancheng in the eastern county of Yanzhou, goes south to Fengqiu and Junyi in Chenliu county, Kaifeng in Henan, and then to Chenliu's Yongqiu, Xiangyi, Kaocheng, and Bocheng in Liang State."
Qu Yi's hand drew a large circular arc along this battle line on the map, "The rebels have formed an arc-shaped blocking formation, and we have formed a cone-shaped attack formation."
"Obviously, this battlefield layout is very unfavorable to us. The distance between our central army and the left and right armies is too large. If the rebels come from the two wings of our central army, they will be Fengqiu in the north and Yongqiu in the south. If we advance, we may be surrounded. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the rebels can block the attacks of Yan Liang and Yan Rou on the left and right, and then there are enough troops from Fengqiu and Yongqiu The two places will be outflanked."
Qu Yi looked at the generals and said with a smile: "Let's make a bet. My lords, guess, do the rebels have so many troops? I guess not, who guesses?"
"My lord, what's the bet?" Yu Du asked loudly.
"Wine." Qu Yi said as a matter of course, "I guessed it right, each of you treats me to a drink."
"My lord, what if you guess wrong?"
"It's the same, each of you should treat me to a drink." Qu Yi said without thinking.
The generals roared with laughter.
"My lord, how can there be such a reason?" Zhang Zhen said with a smile, "Are you still unreasonable?"
Qu Yi chuckled, "Otherwise, what would I do as your superior? You must give me something. It's been so long, and I haven't seen any of you take the initiative to bribe me. Since you are all so clean, forget it, I Don’t take the initiative to ask for bribes, let’s make a bet. Whether I win or lose, I have wine to drink, and I have someone to drink with me. If the general is prosecuted, everyone will bear the blame.”
The generals laughed.
"My lord, the general is in the big tent next to him, he will hear it." Mustafa couldn't breathe with a laugh.
"The general is not here, and he went out to patrol the camp. He said that he was thinking about how to fight to Luoyang alone." Then he suddenly changed his face, his face was as frosty, "Be serious, be serious. This matter is settled like this, no Repent."
Qu Yi continued to line up his troops.
"In order to prevent problems before they happen, Huqiying and Changshuiying will go to Fengqiu and Yongqiu to intercept them." Then he pointed to Lu Bu who was sitting next to him, "Master Lu and I will continue to attack in the middle battlefield. To suppress Yuan Shao's main force, force the rebels to concentrate more troops in Zhongmou, Junyi, and Kaifeng, so that we can help the left and right armies move forward quickly to narrow the distance between them and us. The more they The closer we are, the less we have to worry about, the more concentrated our forces are, and the more violent our attacks will be."
=
The military discussions dispersed, and the generals went to the battlefield.
Qu Yi, Lu Bu, Yu Shi, Fan Li, and Zhao Yun hurried into the big tent.
The general woke up, weak and weak.Qu Yi briefly explained his arrangement and attack strategy, "What can the general say?"
Li Hong tried his best to say a few words, but his voice was very low.Qu Yi put his ear close to his mouth and managed to hear clearly.
"I know. I have asked Zhongda to write a letter to tell Zhongyuan (Li Wei) what happened to Chen Liu urgently, and ask him to make arrangements in Jinyang." Qu Yi comforted, "General, you should rest Go ahead. If you continue like this, you will die. If you are dead, what hope is there for ZTE? Let’s finish the game together.”
Yushi glared at him dissatisfied, "Can you say something nice?"
"If you don't say something serious, can he listen to it?" Qu Yi complained angrily, "He is tired. Today is lucky, he fell in the big tent. If one day he suddenly collapsed on the battlefield Now, the army is bound to collapse, and we will not find a single bone when we die.”
At this time Li Hong spoke again.Qu Yi was too lazy to listen, and turned his head to ignore him, "You should rest. With you like this, what's the use of thinking too much?"
Zhao Yun pushed him away angrily and leaned over to listen.
"What did he say?" Seeing Zhao Yun's nervous expression, Qu Yi hurriedly asked.
"The general said that if we want to stabilize the front line and form a decisive battle situation as soon as possible, the key is to attack the left and right sides of the battlefield, especially Lord Yan Liang's right side. We must quickly seek a breakthrough, and then capture Yancheng, and directly kill Yanjin and Suanzao. Threatening Henan. If there is no progress on the left and right lanes and the rebels firmly block them, the offensive in the middle is bound to be frustrated. The rebels have won time, and they will immediately switch from defense to offense and start a counterattack across the board."
Qu Yi frowned slightly, and exchanged glances with Lu Bu and Yu Shi, all three of them found it difficult to deal with.After Cao Cao and Liu Bei's armies withdrew to Yancheng, the defensive forces of the rebels increased greatly, and Yan Liang encountered great resistance.It is very difficult for him to break through Yancheng and reach Yanjin and Suanzao area.
Li Hong raised his finger to point at Zhao Yun, and shouted two words forcefully, "Zilong..."
Qu Yi understood, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "The general wants you to go to the right side of the battlefield to help. Now the [-] iron cavalry of the right sage king Liu Ming and the left leader Lan Rong are in Pingqiu and Changyuan. You take the iron cavalry and kill them. " Then he remembered something, and warned solemnly, "Zilong, the general is not here, you have to suppress those Huns. If there is another incident of Hu people burning, killing and looting, the trouble will be out of control."
"I know." Zhao Yun sighed in a low voice, "It won't happen again."
"Zhang Xun of the Southern Army sent an order to immediately take the Southern Army's iron cavalry to garrison at Pingqiu and Changyuan to prevent the rebels from crossing the Pushui River and attacking our grain road." Qu Yi turned to Lu Bu and said, "Let them go with Zilong. ,be quick."
Lu Bu nodded, and immediately went out of the tent to give the order.
Li Hong looked at Zhao Yun, nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

(End of this chapter)
The coalition forces attacked at the same time, intending to use their superiority in strength to tear apart the defense of the northern border army.
Yuan Xi was worried about the safety of Yancheng and Fengqiu, and the warlords attacked fiercely.In his opinion, if he could take down Chenliu in the shortest possible time, and then send troops to rescue Yancheng, he would still be able to fulfill his father's mission, which might alleviate his father's anger towards him.I disobeyed my father's order, and the consequences were unpredictable, and this practice was a challenge to my father's authority.Yuan Xi was unwilling to give up the opportunity he had just obtained, and he longed to return to Luoyang.
The Huqi Battalion led by Zhao Yun used to be the Black Panther Yi Cong Battalion, the elite of the elite cavalry in northern Xinjiang, and all the soldiers were experienced and fierce soldiers.Although they lacked experience in defending the city, the defense was very chaotic at the beginning of the war, and the city walls were once full of dangers, but these black panthers were proficient in battle formation, sharp in offense and defense, and their archery skills were sharp, precise, and fast. Bows and arrows, which greatly made up for their lack of experience in defending the city.After several fierce fights, the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang gradually stabilized their positions and stood firmly on the city wall.
During the breaks in the battle, Zhao Yun leaned against the wall alone, looking up at the sky with an extremely stern expression.
Jifeng walked up to him quietly, looked at him timidly, and stopped talking.Although he and Sima Yi captured Chen Liucheng, the methods they used were too bloody and cruel.Zhao Yun obviously couldn't accept this kind of attack method. Since entering the city, he never showed a smile on his face, and ignored himself and Sima Yi.
Sima Yi knew that his attack strategy violated the taboo of the northern army.For so many years, under the strict rule of the general, the Northern Xinjiang Army never dared to burn, kill and loot the people.When Zhang Liao dug embankments to flood Huaicheng on the Hanoi battlefield, he took a great risk and led his cavalry to drive all the people within dozens of miles of Huaicheng to Pinggao city because he was worried that he would be charged with massacring the people.I am eager to do meritorious service this time, I just want to achieve my goal, and I have long forgotten these unwritten rules.It's okay for General Hutou to kill and surrender, and it's certainly okay for me to capture Chen Liu in the name of burning, killing and looting, but now it seems that I think it's easy.I am not a tiger-headed general. With my qualifications, even if I have made great achievements in plundering the city, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the disaster of being punished by the general.Looking at Zhao Yun's face, he knew that he didn't think about this matter, and he acted too impulsively.
But Sima Yi saved a hand.He knew that his method had a high chance of success, and the credit would definitely be great, but if he monopolizes this effort, the rewards will be limited, because he is not the general's confidant, and the credit for capturing Chenliu will most likely fall on Zhao Yun's head. So he pulled up Jifeng.
Jifeng is the son of Hengji, a warrior from Karasuma.In his early years, Heng Ji followed the great generals to fight in all directions, and he was life and death friends with many generals in northern Xinjiang.After Jifeng arrived in the Northern Border Army, he was deeply loved by the general and many generals, and a few years later he took the position of commander of the Black Panther Regimental Battalion.The imperial court implemented the recruitment system, and the Black Panther Yicong battalion was merged into the Northern Army and reorganized into the Huqi Camp. Ji Yi then became one of the eight youngest lieutenants of the Northern Army with a rank of [-] shi in the imperial court.Many generals of the Northern Xinjiang Army have fought for more than ten years and are only school lieutenants. Many people complain about this, so helping Jifeng get more meritorious service has become the consensus of Hengji's former friends. This will not only make the general happy, It can also stop the mouths of those who are dissatisfied, and everyone is happy.
In Hebei, those who were closely related to the general were all in high positions at a young age.Wen Youtian Chou and Fu Gan.Because of the relationship between Mrs. Xiaoyu and Tian Zhong, Tian Chou is considered Li Hong's relative.Fu Gan was the son of Fu Xie (xie), the Marquis of the Zhuang Festival, and Fu Xie formed a deep friendship with Li Hong in Xiliang during his lifetime.Wu You Yanliang, Zhao Yun.It is normal for warriors to form a brotherhood because of similar temperaments.Jifeng is considered to be Li Hong's nephew and nephew. In this generation, apart from Fu Gan, Jifeng is Li Hong's favorite.
Sima Yi thought to himself, if Ji Feng and I capture Chen Liu together, the reward will definitely be great, and it will also gain Li Hong's favor and appreciation, and get more chances to make meritorious deeds.However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations, and Zhao Yun was offended by this move. It is estimated that there is no hope for the reward, so let's first seek to offset the merits and demerits.Zhao Yun was well-known in the Northern Frontier Army. He was upright and humble, honest and self-disciplined, loved soldiers like sons, and managed the army gently.Sima Yi felt guilty, wanted to test Zhao Yun's tone, and privately advised Ji Feng to admit his mistake to Zhao Yun first, and see if things could turn around. .Although Jifeng had always been close to Zhao Yun, it was the first time he saw Zhao Yun so angry, and he was extremely disturbed.
Jifeng mustered up his courage, and just about to speak, Zhao Yun said first, "Go and call Zhongda here."
Sima Yi stood in front of Zhao Yun anxiously.
Zhao Yun looked at him, sighed, reached out and took the battle helmet from Sima Yi's hand, and slowly put it on his head, "You are a Shangguan, so you have to look like a Shangguan. I think you like to go around with your helmet Shaking, did you learn this habit from General Tiger Head?"
Sima Yi was very nervous at first, but when he heard this, he was secretly pleased. Knowing that Zhao Yun was not really angry, he immediately relaxed, "General Hutou told me, don't put your head in an iron pot all day long, take it out often to let the wind out, and stay awake." , otherwise you will be suffocated."
Zhao Yun frowned, turned around and walked forward.Sima Yi smiled and hurriedly followed.
"You came to the Central Plains battlefield, and the general personally asked the eldest princess to invite you." Zhao Yun said unhurriedly, "The general likes you very much. He once told me that he would be able to take the post of general in his place in the future." Yes, none other than you."
Sima Yi looked at Zhao Yun in disbelief, almost suspecting that he had heard wrongly, and the extreme excitement made him tremble involuntarily.
Zhao Yun stopped, turned to look at him, and said in a very serious tone: "Do you know why I told you?"
Sima Yi instantly understood what Zhao Yun meant.After the excitement, extreme remorse immediately overwhelmed him, making him miserable.I wanted to do meritorious service so much that I even resorted to unscrupulous means, and ended up ruining my bright future.
"Jifeng is from Karasuma. There are many reasons why he commanded the Huqi battalion. The Huqi battalion used to be the black panther regiment, and it was the general's personal guard cavalry. This is the main reason why Jifeng became the eighth lieutenant of the Northern Army. No matter how much meritorious service he has in the future, he will also be the school lieutenant of Huqiying, a senior official with a rank and salary of two thousand shi, and he will not leave Huqiying. In other words, even if you share with him Thanks to you, you won't get a chance to be promoted, on the contrary, you have harmed yourself and Jifeng."
"After this matter is reported to the imperial court, the ministers in the court, including many generals in the army, will definitely impeach them. It is not that the imperial court opposes harming the people when necessary, but that generals of barbarian origin like Jifeng are strictly prohibited from harming the common people. The court He will kill one to warn others, and will never tolerate it. After this battle, if the general can save his life, it will be considered good if he continues to stay in the Huqi camp."
Sima Yi suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed dramatically.
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "You played a lot of tricks and made many mistakes in this matter. You intended to win over Jifeng and please the general, but you accidentally hurt Jifeng. The court's punishment of Jifeng will implicate Hu Qiying, The soldiers of the Hu Qiying used to be the loyal servants of the general, and they were extremely loyal to the general. This made the general feel threatened, and felt that the court was deliberately using this matter to weaken his military power. The reason why Ji Feng was punished was because of your attack. Since you are not a close friend of the general, then your purpose of doing this is obvious."
Sweat was already dripping on Sima Yi's forehead.Being greedy for fame and fame, impulsive and reckless, the consequence may be the life of the entire family, and the shock of the entire Jinyang court.Sima Yi stood on the tower with his head downcast, all thoughts were lost for a moment, and he was extremely depressed.
"Zhongda, leading an army to fight a war does not depend on whether you have completed the attack target, but whether you have preserved the interests of the majority of people in the process of completing the attack target." Zhao Yun said in a low voice as he walked slowly, " If you win a battle, but let many people lose their interests, your fault will be far greater than your credit. You have read the history books, and you should know that the reason why many good fighters in history did not end well is the most important One point is that they only consider their own merits, their own interests, or understand the purpose of conquest from their own point of view, completely ignoring the overall interests of the war.”
"Conquest is a part of state affairs. Conquest must conform to state policy, and conquest must follow the imperial court's offensive and defensive strategies in military affairs. Only when the top and bottom are consistent can we be invincible."
"The top and bottom are consistent, do you understand?" Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to pat Sima Yi beside him, and asked solemnly.
Sima Yi nodded.
"Then tell me."
"The general wants us to attack Chenliu and surround Chenliu, so as to cut off Cao Cao and Liu Bei's food and retreat routes, and hold back Yuan Shao's army. He didn't let us capture Chenliu."
"After we captured Chenliu, the iron cavalry immediately lost their maneuverability, and the advantage became a disadvantage."
"We are holding on to the city. The rebels only need to surround us with one part, and the rest can safely go east to rescue. In this way, we not only failed to cut off Cao Cao and Liu Bei's food and retreat routes, but also held back Yuan Shao's army. , On the contrary, the rendezvous speed of the two rebels is faster. Once they meet, they will be able to block the advance of the main force of our army. We will not be rescued for a long time..."
Sima Yi looked up at the soldiers around him, almost crying in pain.These are the Black Panthers who have followed the general for more than ten years, and they are all fierce soldiers who have participated in the Sunset Plains War. If they die in Chenliu for no reason like this, the general will go crazy, he will never let yourself go.
"My lord, why did you enter the city? Why did you order the army to enter the city?" Sima Yi was completely desperate. He grabbed the helmet on his head, stared at Zhao Yun and yelled loudly.
Zhao Yun stroked his short beard, looked up at the rebel battle formation with banners flying below the city, a trace of determination and murderous intent appeared on his handsome face.
"We will defend Chenliu, and the rebels will withdraw only when the army reaches the city. In this way, we will advance to the front line of Fengqiu and Chenliu in the shortest possible time, so we will have more time and we can stand firm in Yanzhou It can also quickly form a decisive battle with the rebels."
"This is the only chance for you and Jifeng to get rid of crimes and make meritorious deeds." Zhao Yun said calmly, "As for the crimes of killing and injuring people, resisting orders and seizing the city, and damaging justice, I will bear it alone, so you will be fine."
"My lord..." Sima looked at Zhao Yun gratefully, tears almost fell down.
"Don't thank me. I did this not to get rid of your crimes, but for the stability of the court. If we win the Central Plains War, we will start to calm down the great cause of the world. If we lose, we will work hard and go south to conquer , and to do all this, we need a cohesive imperial court and great generals." Zhao Yun glanced at Sima Yi lightly, "Zhongda, you are too young. This lesson will teach you what war is. Bloody The battlefields and the soul-stirring killings are nothing but the continuation of state affairs. The gains and losses of a city or a place, or the victory or defeat of a battle, cannot determine the outcome of a war. It is state affairs and the court that really determine the outcome of a war. If you don’t know how to link state affairs with war, the imperial court and the battlefield, you will never become an outstanding general in this dynasty, let alone sit in the position of a great general in this dynasty.”
Sima Yi bowed himself to be taught.
"I will let Jifeng strictly keep the secret." Zhao Yun finally showed a smile on his face, "My personal reputation is nothing, I just hope you don't let the general down."
"My lord, do you think we can hold on to Chen Liu? Can we last until the army comes to help us?" Sima Yi asked anxiously.Zhao Yun's words had a great shock and impact on him, almost destroying all of Sima Yi's self-confidence in just a few moments.
"Be confident." Zhao Yun put the helmet on Sima Yi's head again, "Confidence can enable us to overcome fear and defeat all opponents."
"Boom..." The war drum sounded, and the enemy's attack started again.
Zhao Yun looked at the enemy soldiers rushing up from the city like a tide, sneered lightly, and waved his hands back, "Beating the drum..."
=
On the second night of the Chenliu battle, the coalition camp.
The scouts flew horses to report that the main force of the northern Xinjiang army had crossed the Jishui River, conquered the two cities of Jiyang and Donghun within a day, and was advancing rapidly towards Chenliu.
Yuan Xi was shocked and urgently summoned Tian Feng, Xu You, Liang Qi, Wen Pin and others to discuss the matter.
"Is it the main force of the northern Xinjiang army, or some of the northern Xinjiang cavalry that surrounded Donghun and Jiyang a few days ago." Xu You panicked and shook his head again and again, unable to believe the scout's report, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei brought back 7 troops In Yanzhou, even if Liu Bei's troops go to support Guan Yu in Xuzhou, they still have an army of [-]. According to our investigation, the Northern Xinjiang Army removed the troops left behind in Changyi, and the Dingtao area had no more than [-] troops. What advantage defeated Cao Cao and Liu Bei in such a short period of time? Where did their armies go? They were all eaten by leopards?"
Everyone was dumbfounded and found it incredible.The advance speed of the Northern Border Army was too fast. It was less than a month since they crossed the river to attack Chenliu, and the Northern Border Army had advanced thousands of miles.
"Yuan Hao..." Yuan Sheng patted Tian Feng, who had a very bad complexion, and asked anxiously, "How to deal with it? Are Cao Cao and Liu Bei finished? The whole army is wiped out?"
"No." Tian Feng half-lyed on the mat and said weakly, "In the Dingtao area, Cao Cao and Liu Bei have 6 to [-] horses. If Li Hong wants to fight them, he has to fight them. Extremely unfavorable. The decisive battle will lead to the loss of the Northern Army's troops too quickly and too much. If they have insufficient troops, it will be difficult for them to quickly occupy Yanzhou, let alone gain a foothold in Yanzhou. If they cannot gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou, the Northern Army will not be able to continue in the Central Plains Great battle. In order to achieve the goal of capturing the Central Plains, the Northern Xinjiang Army must fight to the front line of Chenliu and Fengqiu before our troops from all sides join forces to counterattack, so as to win the whole territory of Yanzhou and win the decisive battle. Starting from this point, Li Hong has no determination for a decisive battle yet."
"Cao Cao and Liu Bei are not willing to fight a decisive battle. They wiped out all the troops and defeated the northern army, which is equivalent to handing over Yanzhou and Xuzhou to us. Will they be so generous?"
"No." Tian Feng asked and answered himself, and continued, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei must have retreated. They want to draw the northern army to Chenliu, let us fight against Li Hong, and use this method to consume our troops. "
"Then why didn't the scouts find Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army?" Yuan Xi asked, "Where did they go?"
Tian Feng closed his eyes, frowned and thought.Could it be that they went north and withdrew to Yancheng and Changyuan along the Pushui River?There are more than 200 miles from Dingtao to Changyuan, and the northern Xinjiang army followed by cavalry, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army may collapse.Going north is a dead end, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will not kill themselves.Where will they retreat?
"Should we divide our troops and go eastward?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Yuan Xi asked.
"We can't divide the troops, we should attack Chenliu." Xu You hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, "No matter whether Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been wiped out or have withdrawn from somewhere, it is a fact that the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army is rushing towards them. We want to block Northern Xinjiang Army, if we want to stop the Northern Xinjiang Army on the second line of defense, we must take back Chenliu. We have no time, we have to attack day and night."
If Chen Liu couldn't get it back, he just lost it in such a muddle-headed way, and Xu You's good life would come to an end, so he strongly opposed Yuan Xi's suggestion.
"The Northern Frontier Army in the city is very powerful, and the defense is quite tight and strong. Our losses are too great." Yuan Xi thought that the siege of the city was blocked today, and the idea of continuing to attack became less and less.He had already disobeyed his father's order by concentrating his forces on attacking Chen Liu.Now that the battle situation has changed again, the life and death of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army is uncertain. Once he fails to take down the city before the Northern Xinjiang Army kills Chenliu, and falls into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy, not only will the army be lost, but the serious shortage of troops may lead to Junyi, Kaifeng, etc. The first-line defense collapsed in an instant, and his father's plan to keep the Northern Army in front of the second line of defense would also fail completely, and Luoyang would directly face the threat of the Northern Army.
You are going to die, don't even think about dragging me to be buried with you.Yuan Xi looked coldly at Xu You's rapidly opening and closing mouth, but didn't listen to a word.It was not my fault that Chen Liu was lost, but if I lost my army and lost my army, lost Junyi and Kaifeng after Xu You, and opened all the doors to Henan, it would be my fault.
"Divide the troops immediately." Yuan Xi said loudly, "I ordered Jiang Qi and Meng Dai to lead the army across the Bianshui River overnight, and stationed in Xiaohuang City to stop the Northern Frontier Army."
"Send Sui Zhan and Han Juzi to lead the army back to Junyi overnight. Once the Northern Army captures Xiaohuang City, they will face a crazy attack from the Northern Army. If Junyi falls, the Northern Army will cross the chasm." , go directly to Zhongmou City, and enter the hinterland of Henan, so whether Junyi can hold it will directly affect the safety of Luoyang, please two adults must stick to Junyi, and don't take a step back."
"Master Wen, please lead your army across the Langtang Canal and enter Kaifeng City." Yuan Xi cupped his hands and said to Wenpin, "Chenliu has already fallen. After the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army enters Chenliu, they will cross the Langtang Canal and attack immediately." Kaifeng. Once Kaifeng falls, the Northern Frontier Army will be able to go north and directly kill Zhongmou. Your lord has a heavy responsibility to shoulder, and you must not slack off."
Wen Pin bowed and took the order, "Chenliu fell, and the only ones who can stop the northern border army from advancing into the hinterland of Henan are Junyi and Kaifeng. Don't worry, my lord, even if I fight to the last man, I will never back down half a step. "
Yuan Xi turned to look at Tian Feng.Tian Feng nodded and agreed with his deployment.At this moment, insisting on attacking Chenliu by force will cause too much loss to the army. In addition, the Northern Xinjiang army will arrive sooner or later.In the case of insufficient troops, it is almost impossible for the army to defend Junyi and Kaifeng and firmly keep the Northern Army from the second line of defense.After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to abandon Chen Liu and stick to the two cities of Junyi and Kaifeng behind Chen Liu.
Xu You sighed, his face ashen.Yuan Sheng grasped his long beard with a dull expression.

On the third day, Yuan Xi retreated ten miles with an army of [-], and stationed troops on the west bank of the River River, making a last-ditch effort.
Yuan Xi planned to take advantage of the danger of the river to stop the Northern Frontier Army on the west bank of the Baoshui River.The northern Xinjiang cavalry in the city was short of food and grass and the situation of the battle was unclear. They either went out of the city to break through, or killed their horses to feed their hunger, and continued to hold on.The northern Xinjiang cavalry army went out to break through the siege, so Yuan Xi could naturally take advantage of it.If they stick to the city, Yuan Xi will count on the follow-up reinforcements to arrive at Chenliu to attack.At present, there are [-] Jingzhou reinforcements that can be counted on, including the reinforcements of Runan Xu Qiu (qiu) who came from Yuzhou, and the reinforcements of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who came from Jiangdong.Among the three reinforcements, only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu from Jiangdong have no news yet, and the other two armies are getting closer and closer to the Central Plains.
In the evening, Yuan Xi received a message from Jiang Qi from Xiaohuangcheng.The forward cavalry army of the Northern Border Army has already rushed to the foot of Xiaohuang City, and there will definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow.
The situation on the Central Plains battlefield is getting more and more serious.
=
In the evening, Yuan Xi suddenly received good news.
According to Xin Ping's letter, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, under his support, had led their troops out of Changyuan City, crossed the Pushui River, and arrived in Yancheng smoothly.
Yuan Xi, Tian Feng and others were surprised and excited.Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army miraculously retreated safely under the heavy siege of the Northern Xinjiang Army.Luck, good luck will come to the coalition forces, which makes the coalition forces suddenly smell a breath of victory.
"Quickly, tell the news to all the troops in the army." Yuan Xi repeatedly ordered, dancing with joy.
Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei suffered heavy losses under Dingtao City, they chose to retreat in time, and unexpectedly chose the most dangerous northward retreat route. This unexpected move disrupted the deployment of the Northern Xinjiang Army and made them unable to catch up. In vain, he missed an opportunity to severely injure Cao Cao and Liu Bei.After Cao Cao and Liu Bei arrived at Yancheng with an army of [-], the defense lines of Yancheng and Fengqiu, which Yuan Xi was most worried about, were consolidated, and the coalition forces could block Yan Liang's attack.The crisis on the battlefield in the north of the Central Plains was lifted, which greatly eased the severe situation on the Central Plains battlefield, and gave Yuan Xi, who was restless, a reassurance.My hesitation on the front line delayed a lot of military planes, my father would definitely blame me for my incompetence and cowardice, but now that the Yancheng and Fengqiu lines are firmly controlled by the coalition forces, Henan has no worries for the time being, and my father's blaming will be much lessened.
On the fourth day, the vanguard cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army appeared on the bank of the River River.
The war is about to begin, and Yuan Xi is getting more and more nervous.At this time, another piece of good news came from Bocheng, which greatly encouraged Yuan Xi's fighting spirit and filled him with the belief that he must win.
Zhang Fei and Jian Yong from Xuzhou, and Yang Ping from Rencheng in Yanzhou took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and entered Changyi, recapturing the family members of many officials in Yanzhou including Cao Cao, and then retreated to the bank of Heshui before the enemy encircled The safety of the South Shore.Now the family members of Cao Cao and other Yanzhou officials have been sent to Pengcheng, Xuzhou. After the Yanzhou and Xuzhou troops such as Xun Yu, Zhang Fei, Yang Ping, and Cao Chun joined forces, they have rushed to Bocheng and Kaocheng to block the Northern Xinjiang army.Guan Yu from Xuzhou and Ji Ling from Yangzhou will also rush to the front line of Bocheng in a few days.The blocking army on the battlefield in the south of the Central Plains quickly formed and possessed a strong offensive and defensive force, which no one expected.
Yuan Xi once again ordered his subordinates to tell the good news to all the troops in the army.
Tian Feng's health suddenly recovered, he walked vigorously, and spoke loudly and powerfully.After careful discussion with Yuan Xi and others, he believed that the second line of defense against the northern army had been formed, and the three battlefields of the Central Plains, North, South, and Central had enough troops to fight against the enemy.Although the loss of Chenliu, the center of this line of defense, caused certain difficulties for the blocking of the middle battlefield, but because there were rivers and ditches in Chenliu, Junyi, and Kaifeng, the northern Xinjiang cavalry could not use their own advantages to help the northern Xinjiang infantry army attack. The city pulls out the stronghold, so the difficulty of blocking the middle battlefield is less than that of the north and south flank battlefields.
Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Xi withdraw from the Lushui River, retreat to the west bank of Langtang Canal, and station at Longting between Junyi and Kaifeng City.In this way, the army can rely on the danger of Langtangqu, go north to support Junyi, and go south to support Kaifeng, thus forming a solid line of defense.
Yuan Xi followed Tian Feng's suggestion and led his army to retreat to Longting.
=
In May, Qu Yi led the northern army to conquer Xiaohuangcheng.General Li Hong led the Xiongnu iron cavalry, and Lu Bu led the Southern Army to Chenliu.
The main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army advanced across the board to the Suishui River and Langtang Canal, approaching the city of Junyi and Kaifeng.
=
Outside Chenliu City, beside the Suishui River, is the general camp.
Li Hong's face was ashen, looking murderously at Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, and Ji Feng who were kneeling in front of him, his tall body trembling slightly, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Qu Yi, Lu Bu, Yu Shi, and Fan Li stood around the three of them, looking at Li Hong worriedly, and no one dared to speak out to dissuade them.
Standing behind the general, Wei Yan's face was pale, his heart was beating violently as if it was going to burst out of his chest, the strong suffocation made him involuntarily open his mouth wide, and tried his best to breathe in a low voice.
"Now you can see how much Chen Liu has done to me." Li Hong suddenly grabbed the map on the case table, slammed it in front of the three of them, and roared, "How much does capturing Chen Liu do to me? "
"Why did you attack the city without obeying the order? Why?" Li Hong was so furious that he raised his foot and chopped it on the table. With a sound of "Kach...", the case was interrupted and split into two.Li Hong still couldn't understand his hatred, he swung his leg and kicked half of the case into a roar, directly tore the tent and flew into the air.
Qu Yi, Lu Bu and the others were startled, and each took a step back.
"General, something has happened..." Yushi and Li Hong came out of Lulongsai together, and it was the first time in more than ten years that Li Hong was so angry that he saw him hysterical.
"Brothers 870, you made me lose two brothers 870..." Li Hong pointed at Zhao Yun, wanting to tear his eyes apart, "They didn't die in the frontier fortress, they didn't die in the setting sun, but they died in such a meaningless In the city, why do you do this? You are already General Longxiang, Zhi Jinwu, one of the princes, why are you still not satisfied? Compared with the dead brother, how much reward have you received? You have obtained How many merits and honors? Why do you still want to take credit? You killed two experienced brothers in 870 for your own selfishness. Where is your conscience? Where is your conscience..."
"General, Zilong is also for the war situation..." Yushi took a quick step, supported Li Hong who was trembling with anger, and persuaded in a low voice, "You don't know Zilong's character?"
"I have great trust in you, but you...you actually...I personally commanded Shan Yuting's iron cavalry, don't you know why? Now the Huns did not burn, kill and loot, but the famous Black Panther Yi Congying camp actually burned and killed Robbery, you made my efforts come to naught in an instant, do you know how much you have delayed?"
"In order to transfer troops from the desert to the south, I have exhausted my efforts in the past two years, but the opposition from the court is extremely fierce. Why? Aren't you worried that the Hu people will burn, kill and plunder in the Central Plains? What about today? What did you do today? You Let the barbarians of the Black Panther Yicong burn, kill, and loot, and you have turned the concerns of the court into reality. The Black Panther Yicong, who has fought in northern Xinjiang for more than ten years, has not changed his vicious nature, burning, killing, and looting, not to mention the desert The cavalry of the various tribes of the Hu tribe? How do you transfer the soldiers? How do you ask me to persuade the imperial court to transfer troops to the south?"
"The reason why I personally led Shan Yuting's iron cavalry to fight in the Central Plains is to tell the imperial court that the Hu people are not brutal barbarians, and the iron cavalry of the various tribes of the Hu tribe will not harm the people of the Han people. I want to use this fact to convince the imperial court. Shangzheng dispatched more cavalry to go south to the Central Plains, but what about today? What do you want me to use to convince the court today?"
"All the troops that can enter the Central Plains battlefield are here. We have no reinforcements. The only reinforcements are the Hu tribe iron cavalry in the desert. Open your eyes and see, with the current strength, can we capture the Central Plains? There are no more troops. How do we fight?"
"You made us pay such a heavy price for a small Chenliu, for an insignificant contribution. The Central Plains War may fail. Zilong, Zilong...you..."
Li Hong laughed miserably, shook his head again and again, suddenly his body tilted, and he fell to the ground with his head up.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yushi hugged him, "General...General..."
Blood came out of Li Hong's mouth.
The jade soul flew out of the sky and yelled loudly, "My people, my people, what's wrong with you... Open your eyes... My people..."
Qu Yi, Lu Bu, and Fan Li embraced him together.Zhao Yun, Sima Yi, and Ji Feng hurriedly got up from the ground, huddled together and crawled into the crowd.Wei Yan ran two steps, and just approached the crowd when he saw Li Hong open his mouth in Yushi's arms and spit out a mouthful of blood.Yushi tightly hugged Li Hong's head, widened his bloody eyes, and howled hoarsely, "Go call the doctor, go call the doctor..."
Wei Yan's mind went blank, he felt like he was going to die, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his legs in an instant.
The general fell, the general fell at this time.
"Hurry up, call the doctor..."
Wei Yan tried his best to take a step, but his legs seemed to lose feeling, and he fell to the ground.
"I'll go, I'll go..." Sima Yi burst into tears, yelling, rolling and crawling, turned around and ran out of the tent.
Suddenly, a powerful big hand grabbed Sima Yi's neck like pliers, causing him to scream in pain.
"Don't move anyone..." Qu Yi roared and pushed Sima Yi to the ground forcefully, "I will kill whoever moves."
"Yuntian..." Lu Bu looked at Qu Yi with a murderous expression in surprise, and grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand.
"Don't move." Qu Yi yelled again, pointing his finger at the front, "Stand at the door of the big tent for me, no one is allowed to come in."
Ji Feng opened his blood-stained hands and looked at Qu Yi blankly.
"You kid is stupid." Qu Yi rushed up and kicked Ji Feng to the ground, "Stand at the door, no one is allowed to come in."
"Yuntian, the general is still vomiting blood..." Yushi yelled sharply, "Call the doctor quickly."
"Here are all big officials with a salary of more than [-] shi. Anyone called a doctor will cause suspicion and panic." Qu Yi shook his hand, "Don't panic, calm down first."
He pulled off his helmet and slapped it vigorously a few times.
"Go and call any random, quick, quick..." Qu Yi pointed to Wei Yan who was lying on the ground, "Don't be so sad. The general is not dead yet, but he's just vomiting blood from exhaustion. It's no big deal. Smile." Wei Yan hurriedly climbed up Getting up, he grudgingly bared his lips.Qu Yi was furious, "Are you crying or laughing?" Wei Yan ignored him and ran out like flying.
Qu Yi turned his head to look at Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Fan Li and the others, and said solemnly, "The first thing is that the general's illness must not be revealed in the slightest, so as not to shake the morale of the army. The second thing is that before Feiyan arrives, I am temporarily in charge of the front-line command. The third thing is to immediately take Feiyan to Chen Liulai, and he will be in charge of the front-line command. The fourth thing is that after Feiyan leaves Handan, Wenhe (Jia Xu) will be in charge of Xingyuan. The fifth thing , before the general gives an order, no one is allowed to secretly report this matter to the court, otherwise..." Qu Yi stared at Lu Bu and Sima Yi, and said word by word, "Kill without pardon."
Everyone nodded in unison.Once the news of the general's illness is reported to the court, many unexpected changes may occur, and these changes may lead to the failure of the war.After all, the great general fell, and the eldest princess alone had the final say in the court, and Qu Yi, Lu Bu and others were terrified by the extraordinary means of this eldest princess.
"Get up and write me some letters." Qu Yi stretched out his legs and kicked Sima Yi who was sitting on the ground, "You are very patient. General Zilong took it for you, and you were scolded so badly by the general that you didn't react at all." No, it seems like nothing happened."
"I was wrong." Sima Yi was so regretful that he burst into tears, "I didn't know it would be like this..."
"Why are you crying?" Qu Yi gave him a pat on the head, "I underestimated you. You're a big boy, but you're very smart. No wonder the general is full of praise for you. He would rather scold Zilong than you." I would like to say a word about you. Last time you were in Hanoi and this time in Yanzhou, you played well, you are good."
When Sima Yi heard the words, he was even more heartbroken, and his tears kept flowing.When Zhao Yun said that the general appreciates him earlier, he thought Zhao Yun was trying to comfort him, but now that he heard Qu Yi say this, he was sure that it was true.It's a pity that I was young and ignorant, and ruined a bright future.Zhao Yun's character is well known to everyone, and no one would believe that Zhao Yun would disobey the general's order, drive Hu Qi to kill the people without authorization, and then seize Chen Liu for credit.This time I was clever but was misunderstood by my cleverness, causing endless troubles.
At this time Cao Renran, the supervisor under the door, rushed into the big tent and saw the general lying on the mat, Yushi and Zhao Yun were wiping the blood from his face on the left and right. Just go and draw the knife.
"What do you want to do?" Qu Yi said with a cold face, pointing at him, "The general is too tired, he vomited blood."
Holding the half-drawn saber in any hand, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one with great vigilance, as if he was facing an enemy.
"You don't think we're rebelling against each other and conspired to hurt the general?" Qu Yi sneered, "Two things. One, don't spread the word. How should you protect the general's account? Just don't let people go. Just enter the big tent. Second, immediately send a guard to call the best medical craftsman, and tell you that you are not feeling well and are sick."
Anybody bowed to accept the order, then ran to the general to take a closer look, and then hurried out.
"Wipe away your tears." Qu Yi patted Sima Yi's head, "Don't blame yourself too much, and take advantage of this opportunity to pay off your merits. The Great War in the Central Plains has just begun. Although the great general has fallen, he is still alive. Can continue to command the battle. If you can help him, think more about such a good plan as capturing Chenliu City, we can definitely win this battle. Bad things can also become good things."
Sima Yi suddenly lifted his spirits, wiped away his tears, turned over and stood up, "Your Excellency is still willing to give me such a chance?"
Qu Yi and Lu Bu looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"The general only scolded General Zilong, but not you. This shows the general's intentions." Qu Yi waved his hand and said, "You and Wen Chang (Wei Yan) stay here, and while taking care of the general, you can think of an attack strategy. After Master Zhang Yan arrives, report immediately."
Sima Yi nodded repeatedly, walked to Zhao Yun's side and said in a low voice, "My lord, go and do your work. I will take good care of the general."
Zhao Yun sighed, stretched out his hand to pat the sad-looking Yushi, and pulled him to stand up together.
=
The general fell into a coma and vomited blood twice in the middle, and he was already on the verge of death.Although the medical craftsmen in the army tried their best to rescue him, there was little effect and no improvement.
In the past, when the general attacked Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju on the Youzhou battlefield, he also fell ill, but he soon recovered.This time the situation was so serious that Qu Yi, Lu Bu and others were very worried and helpless.
Although the general fell ill, the battle still had to be fought.
In the middle of the night, Qu Yi convened a meeting of the generals in the side tent.
"We have completed the primary goal of the Central Plains War. We have basically occupied the counties and counties of Yanzhou. Now what we have to do is to stabilize the battlefield in Fengqiu, Junyi, and Kaifeng, so as to form a decisive battle in the shortest possible time." Qu Yi stood in front of the map, looked at the generals and said, "My lords, please see that the current front starts from Yancheng in the eastern county of Yanzhou, goes south to Fengqiu and Junyi in Chenliu county, Kaifeng in Henan, and then to Chenliu's Yongqiu, Xiangyi, Kaocheng, and Bocheng in Liang State."
Qu Yi's hand drew a large circular arc along this battle line on the map, "The rebels have formed an arc-shaped blocking formation, and we have formed a cone-shaped attack formation."
"Obviously, this battlefield layout is very unfavorable to us. The distance between our central army and the left and right armies is too large. If the rebels come from the two wings of our central army, they will be Fengqiu in the north and Yongqiu in the south. If we advance, we may be surrounded. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the rebels can block the attacks of Yan Liang and Yan Rou on the left and right, and then there are enough troops from Fengqiu and Yongqiu The two places will be outflanked."
Qu Yi looked at the generals and said with a smile: "Let's make a bet. My lords, guess, do the rebels have so many troops? I guess not, who guesses?"
"My lord, what's the bet?" Yu Du asked loudly.
"Wine." Qu Yi said as a matter of course, "I guessed it right, each of you treats me to a drink."
"My lord, what if you guess wrong?"
"It's the same, each of you should treat me to a drink." Qu Yi said without thinking.
The generals roared with laughter.
"My lord, how can there be such a reason?" Zhang Zhen said with a smile, "Are you still unreasonable?"
Qu Yi chuckled, "Otherwise, what would I do as your superior? You must give me something. It's been so long, and I haven't seen any of you take the initiative to bribe me. Since you are all so clean, forget it, I Don’t take the initiative to ask for bribes, let’s make a bet. Whether I win or lose, I have wine to drink, and I have someone to drink with me. If the general is prosecuted, everyone will bear the blame.”
The generals laughed.
"My lord, the general is in the big tent next to him, he will hear it." Mustafa couldn't breathe with a laugh.
"The general is not here, and he went out to patrol the camp. He said that he was thinking about how to fight to Luoyang alone." Then he suddenly changed his face, his face was as frosty, "Be serious, be serious. This matter is settled like this, no Repent."
Qu Yi continued to line up his troops.
"In order to prevent problems before they happen, Huqiying and Changshuiying will go to Fengqiu and Yongqiu to intercept them." Then he pointed to Lu Bu who was sitting next to him, "Master Lu and I will continue to attack in the middle battlefield. To suppress Yuan Shao's main force, force the rebels to concentrate more troops in Zhongmou, Junyi, and Kaifeng, so that we can help the left and right armies move forward quickly to narrow the distance between them and us. The more they The closer we are, the less we have to worry about, the more concentrated our forces are, and the more violent our attacks will be."
=
The military discussions dispersed, and the generals went to the battlefield.
Qu Yi, Lu Bu, Yu Shi, Fan Li, and Zhao Yun hurried into the big tent.
The general woke up, weak and weak.Qu Yi briefly explained his arrangement and attack strategy, "What can the general say?"
Li Hong tried his best to say a few words, but his voice was very low.Qu Yi put his ear close to his mouth and managed to hear clearly.
"I know. I have asked Zhongda to write a letter to tell Zhongyuan (Li Wei) what happened to Chen Liu urgently, and ask him to make arrangements in Jinyang." Qu Yi comforted, "General, you should rest Go ahead. If you continue like this, you will die. If you are dead, what hope is there for ZTE? Let’s finish the game together.”
Yushi glared at him dissatisfied, "Can you say something nice?"
"If you don't say something serious, can he listen to it?" Qu Yi complained angrily, "He is tired. Today is lucky, he fell in the big tent. If one day he suddenly collapsed on the battlefield Now, the army is bound to collapse, and we will not find a single bone when we die.”
At this time Li Hong spoke again.Qu Yi was too lazy to listen, and turned his head to ignore him, "You should rest. With you like this, what's the use of thinking too much?"
Zhao Yun pushed him away angrily and leaned over to listen.
"What did he say?" Seeing Zhao Yun's nervous expression, Qu Yi hurriedly asked.
"The general said that if we want to stabilize the front line and form a decisive battle situation as soon as possible, the key is to attack the left and right sides of the battlefield, especially Lord Yan Liang's right side. We must quickly seek a breakthrough, and then capture Yancheng, and directly kill Yanjin and Suanzao. Threatening Henan. If there is no progress on the left and right lanes and the rebels firmly block them, the offensive in the middle is bound to be frustrated. The rebels have won time, and they will immediately switch from defense to offense and start a counterattack across the board."
Qu Yi frowned slightly, and exchanged glances with Lu Bu and Yu Shi, all three of them found it difficult to deal with.After Cao Cao and Liu Bei's armies withdrew to Yancheng, the defensive forces of the rebels increased greatly, and Yan Liang encountered great resistance.It is very difficult for him to break through Yancheng and reach Yanjin and Suanzao area.
Li Hong raised his finger to point at Zhao Yun, and shouted two words forcefully, "Zilong..."
Qu Yi understood, looked at Zhao Yun and said, "The general wants you to go to the right side of the battlefield to help. Now the [-] iron cavalry of the right sage king Liu Ming and the left leader Lan Rong are in Pingqiu and Changyuan. You take the iron cavalry and kill them. " Then he remembered something, and warned solemnly, "Zilong, the general is not here, you have to suppress those Huns. If there is another incident of Hu people burning, killing and looting, the trouble will be out of control."
"I know." Zhao Yun sighed in a low voice, "It won't happen again."
"Zhang Xun of the Southern Army sent an order to immediately take the Southern Army's iron cavalry to garrison at Pingqiu and Changyuan to prevent the rebels from crossing the Pushui River and attacking our grain road." Qu Yi turned to Lu Bu and said, "Let them go with Zilong. ,be quick."
Lu Bu nodded, and immediately went out of the tent to give the order.
Li Hong looked at Zhao Yun, nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
