In the second year of Xingping of the Han Dynasty, in January 195 AD, Liu Bei, who occupied Xuzhou, took Guan Yu as his general and led 30,000 troops to attack Yangzhou. At this time, the New Year has passed, Guan Yu's surprise attack is extremely hidden, and Liu Yu lost his division and lost ground one after another, and in less than half a month, Guan Yu's soldiers have already pointed directly at Liyang! At this time, Sun Ce actually sent troops to support Liu Xuan, and his joining made the battlefield situation immediately reversed, and the Xuzhou army suddenly turned from having the upper hand to an extreme disadvantage, and the lone army went deep, which was extremely dangerous!

At this time, Guan Yu showed the demeanor of a generation of famous generals, while everyone thought he was going to retreat, he was taking a risk assault with cavalry, defeating Sun Ce in Dingtao, this battle Guan Yunchang killed hundreds of enemies, and beheaded ten generals, even the little overlord was also cut off his helmet and fled in embarrassment, fortunately Zhou Yu led the troops to respond! And Guan Yu did not pursue at all, and took advantage of the cooperation of Sun and Liu's second army to draw an arc in Yangzhou and return safely.

After the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, on February 18, the general Yuan Shao personally commanded an army of 70,000, with Yan Liangwen Chou as the vanguard, Tian Feng was frustrated to join the army and advance, Yuan's morale was high, but on the third day, he took Beihai first, captured Kong Rong alive, and then took advantage of the situation to go south! Xuzhou people were panicked for a while, there were many big families and Yuan Shao secretly communicated with each other, Liu Bei immediately made a decision, booby-trapped Zhao Wang, the head of the Zhao family, in the East China Sea, personally led the Danyang elite soldiers to guard Langya, one side of the army is strong, one side occupies the geographical advantage, the two armies can not hold each other for a while, and Zhang Fei and Yan Liang under the city of Langya The wonderful battle is also praised!

"In the battle of Yangzhou, Guan Yunchang under Liu Bei will indeed be a little extraordinary, such a disadvantage can also turn the clouds and rain, I am afraid that Sun Ce did not expect such a defeat when he sent his troops!" Liu Yi was naturally very concerned about these battlefield situations, and was listening to Xi Zhicai's military intelligence report at this time.

"Hehe, Liu Xuande's heroic posture, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all generals of bears and tigers, and there is a rich land in Xuzhou as the basic, how easy is it? But now this trouble has his own brother to worry about, he has my Youzhou on his back, and he can't go all out, this time Liu Bei should have vitality! Liu Yi said with a smile, without the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei's name as the emperor's uncle was a few years late, so the world is still quite unfamiliar with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but in Liu Yi's eyes, all this is not surprising.

"The lord has always been accurate in looking at people, and he is familiar with the second general Guan Zhang, I think there will be no difference, this time Liu Xuande also reacted quickly, should not be asked by Kong Rong, personally guarding Langya is enough to see its ability, this Yuan Shao's army is four or five out of ten on the border of Youji, and there are generals such as Ju Yi Gao Ran, it seems that he has always been jealous of the lord!" Xi Zhicai agrees with Liu Yi's statement.

"They are fighting this time, it's time for us to do it, Wenhe, what is the situation of the preparation for the state now?" Yuan Shao and Liu Yi have mutual scruples, now that he is on the expedition, the defensive burden of Youzhou can also be reduced a lot, as early as the end of last year, the armies from all walks of life will be assembled in the state according to the agreement, Guo Jia's trip to Xiliang can also be said to be complete, and it is time to do something to Si Li.

"Lord, all walks of life are in place, Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Gao Shun have already pillowed the border, Lord Zhang personally sat in the party and took charge of the military situation, Feng Xiao and the three generals General Ziyi also arrived in the Bingzhou camp, just waiting for the lord to order!" Jia Xu spoke.

"Okay, pass the book and Zicai Fengxiao, you can enter the army tomorrow, let Fengxiao march with Jingfang, if anyone dares to resist the military order, Fengxiao will be able to suppress it, Zilong Zhongfu will lead the second battalion of the iron horse to guard the flank of the army, to ensure that Jingfang attacks the tiger prison, the whole battle situation is taken care of by Zicai, I will run to the state tonight! Liu Yi made up his mind, and he was also excited when he thought of the big battle.

"Don't worry, the lord will arrange this, but as soon as the lord goes, this matter in the court." Jia Xu seems to be unfinished, and at present, there are quite a few people in the court who say that Liu Yi has monopoly power, and the Son of Heaven is just a false name.

"Hehe, how can a literati become a great thing? This time I will go, the defense of Youzhou will be handed over to Zhicai, as for the DPRK, Wen He will let it go, and any result will be borne by Liu! It's just that there are several moves, but Cao Cao is the only one who sits firmly in Chen Liu, and this humanistic harmony must not be taken lightly! As early as when he was welcoming the Son of Heaven, Liu Yi expected that there would be people who would be dissatisfied, with Jia Xu's talent, as long as he let go of his hands and feet, how could some civil servants in the court be his opponents!

"Wenhe's talent is enough, Zhicai will also defend Youzhou for the lord, Yuan Shao's army is outside, you can be worry-free, but the lord must not risk the arrow stone when he goes, and he should spare his life for the world!" Liu Yi's virtue on the battlefield, Xi Zhicai knows best, with the current strength of Youzhou, he does not have a big burden, and the safety of the lord is very important, so he admonished.

"Zhicai rest assured, before settling the world with the kings, he will never take risks!" Liu Yi smiled slightly, and walked away, this time he went to Sili in person, focusing on boosting morale, but he didn't think about it! Originally, he was going to set off with Yan Gang, but Yu Fuluo's thousand horses made him change his mind.

On the border of the state, Liu Yi's army commander can be said to be a gathering of heroes, except for Gan Ning's assistant drama and talent to protect Youzhou. This time the troops are determined to win, and they are also elite, and the old fourth battalion, the pro-guard battalion, the Longxiang battalion, the tiger guard battalion and other strong brigades are ready to go!

The person sitting in the center of the tent is Guo Jia, Zhang Hu is in charge of the overall situation in this battle, sits in the party, is responsible for logistics support, and recruits people, and the former enemy commander Liu Yi is led by Guo Jia.

"Generals, this expedition is a great matter, I will do my best to prepare for half a year, there is no room for mistakes, and the generals will abide by the military law and move according to the order!" Guo Jia didn't have his usual smile at this time, and his face was clean.

"I am willing to listen to the orders of the military division!" The generals replied in unison, and the momentum was amazing.

"The weight of this battle lies in the tiger prison, this pass is the world's strongest, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the lord will hand over this important task to General Gao Shun, and give it with a sword, the lord letter let me make it clear that General Gao's ability to attack the fortification is the leader of our army, and the battle array attacks the capable people live in it, if someone is conceited of seniority and does not listen to military orders, General Gao can use the lord to cut it with a sword, and there is no mercy!" After all, Gao Shun is getting shallow with Liu Yi, and he is afraid that some arrogant soldiers will not accept the transfer, so Guo Jia has this to say.

"Gao Shun received the order, and now the battalions are ready to stop, just waiting for the military commander's order." Gao Shun came out of the crowd and said angrily, the army is the most seniority place, so Liu Yi let Gao Shun lead the training of each battalion a few months earlier, so in order to minimize this hidden danger, Gao Shun shouldered a heavy responsibility, did not dare to slack off, and also showed his talent in daily training.

"Okay, let's go down and reorganize the army, set off immediately, Gongming, Junyi, Ziyi, you must respect General Gao's military orders, and you must not violate them!" Guo Jia said coldly.

"No! After receiving the order, the four generals immediately went down to arrange the dispatch of troops.

"Wen Yuan led the men and horses of his headquarters and the Yanyun battalion to besiege Luoyang, but don't send troops to attack it, just make it unable to support the tiger prison! If necessary, divide troops to help! ”

"No!" Zhang Liao was also excited at this time, the main public only asked about the talents, and Gan Ning's Yanyun Camp was handed over to him, which shows trust, how can he not repay him with death!

"The three generals and General Yan, lead the cavalry to cut off the connection between Luoyang and Hangu, if there are reinforcements from Hangu, how to break the enemy The two generals discuss on their own, you can't let a soldier cross Luoyang and support the tiger prison!" Guo Jia explained to Zhao Yun and Yan Gang again.

"Don't worry, there is my iron cavalry battalion and General Yan's white horse battalion, not to mention people, even a fly can't fly over, if there is a dereliction of duty, Yun Gan will be a military order!" Zhao Yun said excitedly, since Xiliang and his party returned, he had been looking forward to the time when he sent troops, how could he not be in good spirits.

"Okay, let's go immediately, Zhongfu White Horse Camp still needs to draw out capable scouts, with a number of good horses, thinking that there is a close connection between the various formations!" Guo Jia issued a military order!

In the second year of Xingping of the Han Dynasty, on the seventh day of March 195, the hussar general Liu Yi marched into Sili in the name of Chang'an Li Dao Guo Yan disrespecting the Son of Heaven, Gao Shun led the troops straight to the tiger prison, Luoyang was besieged by Zhang Liao's army, but Zhao Yun Yangang was nowhere to be found, but Zhang Xiu, the general of Hangu, was also a figure, knowing that his soldiers were few and did not dare to attack, but quickly reported to Chang'an for help.

Li Guo and the others were shocked when they heard this, and they just wanted to use the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to support Luoyang, but they heard that Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng took his son Ma Chao as the vanguard and advanced to Chang'an again!
