The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 111

I insisted; "Father, third brother, Cheng Yu is not someone who is just waiting for someone. Let such a person lurk in the rear, and something will happen sooner or later, so I asked my father to give me three thousand elite soldiers, and my child pulled out this nail. It really can't, I It’s okay to go back to Liyang to mobilize Youzhou soldiers.”

Yuan Shang was furious and looked at me coldly, obviously very angry at me for disrespecting the general's order.Shenpei coughed and said, "In my opinion, it's better for Cheng Yu's cavalry not to move for the time being?" The father said, "What's the best opinion of Shenzhengnan?" Shenpei laughed; "Master, third son , what the Second Young Master said just now, in fact, Pei had already thought about it, the reason why he didn't say it was all because Pei already had a good plan in mind to defeat the enemy, so he just followed the plan."

The old man was overjoyed when he heard the words; "If you have any good strategies, tell them quickly." The judge said proudly; "This is an attack on the mind. After Cao Cao let Cheng Yu infiltrate our army, he must have thought that we would have concerns and couldn't fight him with all our strength. Decisive battle. Let's ignore Cheng Yu and let Cao Cao be proud. As the saying goes, an arrogant soldier is bound to lose. The more proud he is, the faster he will lose. And our army took advantage of his arrogance to concentrate our superior forces and attack the Cao bandits. The main force, Thief Cao, must have never expected that our army will advance brazenly regardless of our worries, and will be defeated without a doubt."

"A wonderful plan—a wonderful plan—" Yuan Shanghe and his father praised each other before the judge finished speaking.My father looked at me and said sharply: "You go back to Liyang first, you don't have to worry about the affairs here, go." I said loudly; "This plan of trial and appointment will not work at all, it won't work—" Father scolded angrily; "Come here, take the second young master down." Immediately, a group of guards rushed in outside the tent, and dragged me out.I struggled to break in, but my father said angrily; "If you continue to mess around, I will send someone to send you back to Jizhou." I took back the steps I had just taken, thinking, really send you back Wouldn't it be even more unfortunate to go to Jizhou?If he is stationed in Li Yang, at least he can think of a way.I stomped my feet, got on my horse angrily, and ran out of the camp.

After I left, the judge continued to give a speech; "Our army will go to battle in the future, first fight Cao Cao for a while, kill Cao's thief's vigor, and then use tactics."

Three days later.Yuan Shang watched the tiger and leopard cavalry and the tiger and feather forest army all over the mountains and plains appear on the flat ground in front of the high flag.The tide swept towards him like a raging ocean, submerging the plain around him.The morale of Cao's army is like a rainbow, everyone is full of energy, their eyes are fierce, and their aura is extremely frightening.Cao Jun's vanguard cavalry, within Yuan Shang's sight, advanced a thousand steps forward, forming a formation, and did not continue to advance.The horse neighed loudly, and the tiger and leopard cavalry warriors who rushed forward reined in their horses and shouted like a performance. The horse men stood up like waves in a howling wind, and then spread out to the left and right, out of the way.Cao Cao and a group of his generals came from the Central Army along this alley, striding calmly on horseback.The superb riding skills of the tiger and leopard, and the perfect formation are amazing.The two cavalry infantry and archer phalanxes galloped to both sides of the cavalry about Zhang Xu, and suddenly fanned out, obliquely bypassing the tiger and leopard cavalry and the tiger and feather forest troops on the left.Facing each other, it becomes a large flowing intersection, and Cao Cao's horse is the core of the intersection.The two infantry teams were running at full speed, their bows and arrows were already stringed, and they merged into one team.Squatting in front of the cavalry formed a deterrent to the Hebei soldiers three hundred paces away.

'Bang bang' The tiger and leopard cavalry who looked down upon the world and looked down on the Central Plains beat the drum at the right time, hitting the hearts of the Hebei soldiers one after another.

Yuan Shang and his father, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Guo Yuan and others, were a little surprised.Most of these people fought against Cao Jun in the Battle of Guandu.At that time, Cao Jun did not have such momentum, but was just an ordinary force.It seems that Cao Cao's narrow victorious prestige to the north this time, the momentum of the whole army has reached its peak, and it came with sufficient preparations.

Guo Yuan had never fought Cao Jun head-on. During the Battle of Guandu, he was still the prefect of Qinghe.After Tian Feng left, he was transferred to Jizhou.That day he listened to the third son's speech in the school grounds, and he was quite excited.I feel that if Xu You hadn't been collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, with the strength of Cao's army, it would be absolutely impossible to defeat the Hebei army.In the past few days, he was full of ambition and always wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious service, sweep the north, and invade Xuchang.At this moment, when he saw Cao Jun's military appearance at its peak, he was immediately dumbfounded.Look back at Yuan Shang.I thought to myself, it is unbelievable that the third son and Lu Weihuang went in and out ten times in such a cavalry team and killed more than 500 people.Is Lu Weihuang so powerful? Why didn't I find out before!Not only Guo Yuan had such an idea, but many ordinary soldiers were also thinking, is this Cao Cao's army?Did we hit the wrong person? Why is it different from what the third son said.

The old man frowned, he also saw the sequelae of Yuan Shang's bragging.There are many soldiers who have not participated in the battle of Guandu. After hearing his words, they have preconceived ideas and have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy.Now, seeing how powerful Cao Jun is, they are all surprised.There are many people who were still thinking in their hearts just now, after killing Cao Jun in a while, they will go home to hold their children and sleep with their wives.At this moment, my heart is trembling, it's over, I can't go back, I'm dead.

Hebei soldiers compared the generals around Cao Cao with the generals of their own army, and their hearts became even more uncertain.On Cao Cao's left are his family brothers and nephews, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu.On the right side are Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Li Dian, Lu Qian, Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Li Tong, Han Hao, Jia Xin and more than [-] famous generals.Not to mention strength, but the number of people put a huge stone on Hebei Bing's heart.In addition, they found two familiar faces beside Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Gao Lan.

When Yuan Shang saw the two of them, he immediately became angry and cursed loudly, "Zhang He, Gao Lan, you two dog slaves turned your back on the master and surrendered to the enemy. How can you see me today?" Both Zhang He and Gao Lan's expressions changed.This time, Cao Cao saw it.Cao Cao couldn't help muttering in his heart, thinking, although these two men surrendered, but judging from their words and deeds, it seems that they didn't mean it sincerely, so why not give him a try today.

"Zhang Yun, do you dare to come out and fight me for a decisive battle?" Yuan Shang, the generalissimo, went out to call for battle in person.Cao Cao saw it just right, so I saved myself from making excuses.Cao Cao squinted at Zhang He, and stroked his short beard with his left hand.When Zhang Yun heard this, he thought to himself that you are looking for death. With your actions, you still challenge me to kill you. I'm sorry second son, don't kill you. Cao Cao can't hide it, what should I do?While he was hesitating.Suddenly, a foolish military general rushed out of his side, brandishing a pair of hammers, and shouted loudly, "You rat, don't be so rampant, let me see Shi Huan come to meet you for a while."

Cao Cao was taken aback, and asked Zhang Liao beside him, "Who is this man? Who let him out." Zhang Liao blushed and said, "I want to report to the Prime Minister, this man's name is Shi Huan, and he is one of my generals. He is very good at fighting. Brave, but a little reckless, I hope the Prime Minister will not blame you." Cao Cao suddenly realized, and was about to speak when a scream came from his ear.Looking back, I thought, I want to blame now, but I can't find anyone.

Within three strokes, Yuan Shang chopped off Shi Huan's head. He was so excited that he almost had a convulsion, screamed on the horse, and kept waving his bloody knives. "There is also the one who is not afraid of death to catch up, Cao Cao, come here, I will chop you up." Yuan Shang felt that challenging Zhang Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Chu would not satisfy his vanity, and pointed the finger at Cao Cao.

Zhang Liao felt that he had lost face in front of the prime minister, so he shook the rein and wanted to rush out.But in the camp of the Hebei army, the sound of war drums beating, shouts of killing, and waves rushing towards them.Yuan Jun took advantage of the victory and charged.

Cao Jun's arrow clusters immediately flew out like a swarm of bees whose hive had been destroyed.The dark, death-like arrow pierced the air and made a slight whistling sound.In the space of three or four hundred steps between the two armies, a black cloak was woven with dense arrow paths like a spider web, overwhelmingly pressing down on the Hebei army.Thousands of people in the Hebei army were killed or injured by arrows.Cao Jun's archers, because the charging distance was too short, did not shoot anymore after one arrow was shot, but divided into two teams according to the trajectory when they came, and retreated from the left and right wings. The order was not chaotic at all, and the pace was still uniform. Like usual practice.It can be seen how strict and well Cao Cao governed the army.

Behind the archers, the cavalry cavalrymen of Cao army raised their guns and knives together, shining circles of dazzling white light in the sun, and the hooves thundered like thunder.Lu Qian and Han Hao's personal guards of the Central Guard stood still like Mount Tai.The tiger and leopard army on the two wings rode like a whirlwind, facing the wave-like offensive of the Hebei army.There has always been an overwhelming power to shake mountains and mountains.The most admirable thing is that Lu Qian and Han Hao's personal troops held their ground, when the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Huben Army and the Hebei Army Cavalry infantry came into contact, and a fierce battle took place, resulting in countless casualties, all of them looked blank, as if He didn't seem to be aware of it, and didn't show any expression of fear or excitement, just like the terracotta warriors.Apart from the wind-blown hair and rolling eyes, even the muscles seemed to have stopped wriggling.Such a military force can be described as a powerful force in the world.

Once again, the battlefield has become a slaughterhouse for both sides. When people and pigs die, they will howl desperately.Apart from piercing the heart with a knife, it was too late to make a sound.The blood splashed everywhere, blown by the sudden south wind, turned into a pink mist, and dyed a peach blossom that had just bloomed in the distance into blood red——

Howling, shouting, hooves, and fighting lasted for more than three hours before the two sides retreated.

It was a battle, and Cao Jun retreated fifty miles to set up camp. On the surface, he was guilty and timid, but after careful scrutiny, he would find that there were many loopholes in it, and the loopholes were not correct. There were about [-] soldiers, but Cao Jun had a lot of battles, but the actual number of people participating in the battle was less than [-], all of them were elites.Others, such as Xia Houyuan's rear army and Cao Zhen's Yanzhou infantry, did not move at all.Even when retreating during a fierce battle, battalion-by-battalion order is followed, with cavalry at the front, infantry at the back, and crossbowmen at the end.There was absolutely no unnecessary loss caused by trampling each other and killing each other in the rout.

On the contrary, the Hebei Army and the Qingzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army were in a mess.Because it was improvised after the war, many soldiers did not receive formal drills.Don't say it for fear of death, some simply don't understand the meaning of the banners, drums, arrows, and horns.So much so that, after the sound of the three-way attack drum, some people were still standing there looking around foolishly, only to be trampled into a lump of meatloaf by the soldiers coming up from behind.

It was even worse when the troops were withdrawn and returned to the camp, because everyone was not from the same number, and the generals did not know each other's soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals.In addition, his eyes were red just now.For the rest of the battle, he was very angry and excited. You stepped on my foot and glared at him, which became the incentive to quarrel, fight, and use a knife.

Wang Ergou and Sun Xiaoliu, one is a Qingzhou soldier and the other is a Jizhou soldier. They fought because of a look in their eyes. At the beginning, they scolded each other, and then developed into fists and kicks. Moved the knife.Then—then, the comrades in arms of their respective numbers found out whether this was tolerable or unbearable, so they joined the battle group.Then, it became a big melee between Qingzhou soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers.The battle was also fierce, even more ruthless than the fight against Cao Bing just now.The two sides invested more than [-] troops. The archers shot each other, the cavalry trampled on them, the infantry strangled their soldiers, and the commander's tactics were all more mature and grown than when they were dealing with Cao's army. Therefore, the casualties were heavy——

"I heard that some captains and school lieutenants have joined the battle, setting traps, laying ambushes, and spies investigating information, beating drums and ringing gold, what's going on, do you two know about it?" said the old man. His eyeballs were rounded, and his neck was thickened.

Gao Gan and Yuan Tan stood in the handsome tent, not even daring to say a word, they kept scanning each other from the corner of their eyes.Yuan Tan coughed dryly and said, "This matter—is this matter? My child is not very clear. It is my cousin who made the first move." Gao Gan immediately became angry; "Cousin, don't talk nonsense. , My people are all well-behaved, how can they be so undisciplined, I usually train them very strictly." Yuan Tan rolled his eyes and thought to himself, it's only strict when you train them to rob men and women, I'm afraid it won't work in war.

The more the old man listened, the more shameful he became; "Shut up, what cousin, cousin, Li Zi, this is the front of the two armies, and everyone wants to be called an official."

Yuan Tan respectfully said, "Yes, father. Inspector Gao and I, we will go out now, restrain our subordinates, punish the culprit of the trouble, and please calm down, father." His father was furious, his chest was burning like a furnace, and his ribs were already red-hot. It was terribly uncomfortable, and he kept coughing; "Get out, get out of here." Governor Gao was still in a daze, but was pulled out by Yuan Tan.
