Chapter 9: Fighting the Central Plains, Section 37

In April, Yanzhou Chenliu County, Chenliu City.

Zhao Yun led a team of iron horsemen roaring like a hurricane and rushed straight to the Suishui River.

One by one, the horses stopped the galloping figures, stood upright, raised their necks and neighed wildly. For a while, the excited shouts of the soldiers and the neighing of the war horses filled the entire riverbank.

Zhao Yun tightened his horse stiffness, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and shouted repeatedly: "Order all departments, grab the pontoon, hurry, hurry ......."

The sound of powerful war drums and long horns sounded everywhere, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the field, and a faint bloody murderous aura echoed between the empty heaven and earth.

Chen Liucheng was like a hard-armored warrior who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, sitting quietly by the Suishui River, looking at this iron cavalry army from the far north with a peaceful expression.

A group of Iron Knights dismounted, quickly rushed onto the pontoon, and galloped across the river.

Under the city on the opposite bank, the panicked guards and the scattered people shouted as if they were dying, and fled into the city. The drawbridge was slowly pulled up to the earth-shattering sound of drums in the city, and the city gates slammed shut.

Zhao Yunjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. Chen Liucheng is tall and sturdy, it is easy to surround it, but it is difficult to defeat it. The warm river breeze with a hint of coolness blows in the face, and the calm river surface ripples in an instant. Zhao Yun looked at the clear river in front of him, and the intention to kill suddenly rose in his heart.

"Command all the departments to surround Chen Liu."

Xu You was full of alcohol, and with the support of the two guards, he climbed up the city tower panting.

Recently, Xu You's mood has been very bad. Frustrated and leaving Luoyang, it should have been the best opportunity for him to be reused by Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao completely ignored the old feelings and had no intention of reusing himself at all, but appointed a large number of Yuan clans, this kind of cronyism is really chilling. There are many reasons why Yuan Shao is reluctant to reuse himself, the most critical of which is that he insists on respecting the Son of Heaven, which violates Yuan Shao's taboo. Yuan Shao's intention to usurp has been a long time, although Yuan Shao tried his best to conceal it and has been covering it up, but the facts are the facts and cannot be refuted. For example, this time he just advised Yuan Shao to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven in order to form an alliance with various states and counties and join forces to fight against Hebei, and then Yuan Shao found a reason to send himself to Chenliu County to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao was worried that after he became powerful, he would become a hindrance to his future usurpation.

It's funny to think about it, I became famous in my twenties, and I have been running for the peace of Dahan Sheji for more than 20 years, and finally I fell to such a bleak point. However, compared to frustration and Tian Feng, he still talks about masturbation. After all, Yuan Shaoshuo and his old relationship left him a life, and Fu Zhu and Tian Feng had been abandoned by Yuan Shao. This time, the two of them were able to be used by Yuan Shao again, in addition to the fact that Yuan Shao really needed their help, and more importantly, Yuan Shao needed a reason to kill them. After this ups and downs, for the sake of his own net worth, he and Tian Feng were bound to take advantage of the opportunity of the Central Plains War to join forces with Jizhou to restrain Yuan Shao, and the results were self-evident. Once the Central Plains War ends, no matter whether they succeed or fail, the lives of the two will not be guaranteed.

Xu You was very frustrated and Tian Feng was sorry. At the beginning, in order to help Yuan Shao seize Jizhou, the two spared no effort to make plans for him to deal with Han Fu. After arriving in Luoyang, the two worked hard to help Yuan Shao establish a hegemony. But when Yuan Shao succeeded in hegemony, Yuan Shao's thoughts changed, he was no longer satisfied with dominating the party, and he had no intention of reviving the Han Dynasty, his mind was on building the royal industry again. Yuan Shao was blinded by power, he was no longer the Yuan Shao of ten years ago, he had lost his way in ten years of conquest, and he was on a road of doom. Frustrated and Tian Feng tried to use their power to save the Han, but in the face of Yuan Shao, who was already crazy, they could only use their own blood to pay tribute to the overthrown Sheji.

There are only two people who are most likely to pacify Sheji today, one is Li Hong and the other is Yuan Shao. Li Hong was brutal and murderous, and openly killed the king, if he controlled the world, the Han would be completely dead. Yuan Shao is the only hope to save the Han, however, what Yuan Shao has done in the past few years has completely lost confidence. Compared with Li Hong, Xu You felt that Yuan Shao was more shameless. Li Hong killed the king, although for the sake of the overall situation, he still respects a baby emperor, but he has publicly declared to the world that Lao Tzu wants to usurp the Han Dynasty, and he is like a robber, putting cruelty on his face. What about Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao hid his true thoughts in the dark, he was like an insidious thief, using all despicable means to achieve his goals, but on the surface he pretended to be a decent man.

Xu You was very painful and helpless, the ideal he had fought for for more than 20 years was getting farther and farther away from him, and the period of the rise of the Han Dynasty was out of reach with the outbreak of the Central Plains War.

Xu Yu arrived at Chenliu, spent all day drinking, drunk like mud, and didn't care about anything. After more than ten days in a daze, I finally waited for the last thing I wanted to see, the northern Xinjiang army coming to the city.

Xu You barely opened his eyes and tried his best to stick his head out of the city wall.

The northern Xinjiang iron cavalry lined up under the city, dancing wildly with flags, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Whose army is this?" Xu You asked indistinctly.

"This is the iron cavalry of Zhao Yun, a fierce general in Northern Xinjiang." Chen Liujun Taishou Yuan Sheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously, leaned over to Xu You's side and said loudly. At this moment, the war drums in and out of the city are ringing in unison, which is deafening, and if you don't speak hard, it will be difficult for the other party to hear. Xu You didn't hear it, he turned around and just wanted to ask again, when a strong wind blew, and he was suddenly choked with red faces, and he opened his mouth and squirted out the contents of his stomach.

Xu You sobered up a little, he reached out to wipe the stains on his mouth, and asked weakly, "How many troops are there in the city?" ”

Yuan Sheng glared at him angrily, not knowing what to say. From the moment you entered the city, you just drank and played with women, and you didn't ask anything, and you didn't even know how many troops there were in the city.

"Only a thousand." Yuan Sheng covered his nose and looked at him with disgust.

"A thousand?" Xu You closed his eyes and said staggeringly, "What's the use of a thousand people?" When the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army arrived, we couldn't hold it for half a day. Quick, go for help, call for help from the army closest to us. ”

"Someone has been sent." Yuan Sheng said angrily, "Brother Ziyuan, how did the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry quietly kill here?" Could it be that they ate Cao Cao and Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops in one bite? ”

"It's impossible...... Xu You turned his head again to look at the iron cavalry under the city, "Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army together has fifty or sixty thousand people, they can't beat Li Hong, they can also retreat across the Jishui River, and stick to the line of Dongduan and Jiyang." This may be the outflanking strategy of the Northern Xinjiang Army, intending to block our army from advancing eastward to rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so as to buy time for their main army to encircle and annihilate Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

A few people were speculating on the city tower, only to see the northern frontier iron cavalry under the city suddenly dispatched and killed the city mightily.

"It's not good, the Northern Frontier Army is going to attack the city." Yuan Sheng screamed in fright.

"Withdraw, withdraw, quickly withdraw......" Xu You turned around and ran, "The Northern Frontier Army is going to shoot arrows, quickly dodge, quickly dodge......" Xu You suddenly had the strength in a hurry, and rushed down the stone steps like a rabbit.

There was a piercing roar in the sky, and batches of long arrows showed hideous smiling faces in the air, killing them all over the world.

In April, Yanzhou East County, White Horse City.

Under the command of Yan Liang, the Northern Xinjiang Army rushed to the bank of the Yellow River as quickly as possible.

Thousands of large ships are waiting at five ferry crossings. The soldiers boarded the ship one by one and rushed to the south bank of the Yellow River.

Hundreds of rebels stationed on the banks of the Yellow River flew out of the sky and fled back to White Horse City, forty miles away. At this time, Gao Gan was commanding a large army outside the city to block Gao Lan's attack, although he also knew that the number of ships on the Yellow River had increased recently, but he thought that these ships were transporting grain and grass to the Northern Xinjiang Army in Hanoi County, and did not expect that Yan Liang's army would cross the Yellow River south to attack Baima in such a short time.

"Urgently tell Lord Xin Ping, ask him to support the white horse quickly. Quick, quick......"

While ordering the army to withdraw to White Horse City, he hurriedly sent fast horses to Yancheng and asked Xin Ping to lead the army to support. If the white horse is lost, the line of Fengqiu and Chenliu is under the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the Central Plains is in danger.

Zhang He's army was the first to cross the river and rush to White Horse City, where they met Gaolan.

At dusk, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Liao and others led their troops to the city one after another. The 50,000 Northern Xinjiang Army besieged the White Horse City.

Yan Liang and the generals carefully inspected the terrain outside the Nancheng Gate, and decided to choose the main attack direction in Nancheng.

"When will the siege equipment arrive?" Yan Liang turned his head to look at Wang Ling behind him, and asked in a cold voice, "I'm going to attack the city tomorrow." ”

"The siege equipment of the various departments is being transported across the Yellow River by boat. Due to the large number of soldiers and civilians accompanying them, the number of ships is limited, so there is a delay in time. Wang Ling said, "Lord Zhang Yan also considered this problem, so long before the army crossed the river, he had urgently dispatched a batch of ordnance from the Handan arsenal to Puyang. As long as the army begins to cross the river, that is, from the direction of Puyang, it is estimated that this batch of ordnance will be transported here tomorrow morning. ”

Yan Liang nodded with satisfaction, "It's still Lord Zhang Yan who is thoughtful, and he didn't delay for a minute." ”

"It's time to grab now, and we can't afford to delay." Zhou Shan said with a smile on the side, "After we withdraw from the Henan battlefield, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's troops can be transferred to the Yanzhou battlefield immediately. If we can hit the front line of Yanjin and Suozao as soon as possible and threaten Henan, we will definitely be able to hold back some of the rebels, so that we can buy time for the main army to defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and hit the front line of Fengqiu and Chenliu. ”

"It's not a problem to fight a white horse." Wen Chou pointed to the city in front of him, and said to Gao Ran with a smile, "Zhengqing, this time we will help you vent your anger and eat Gao Gan's kid alive." ”

"It's hard to deal with high-level cadres." Gao Ran waved his horsewhip with a serious expression, "He has five or six thousand men and horses, plenty of food, grass and ordnance, and Xin Ping who came from the direction of Yancheng to support, if you want to eat him, it will take a lot of strength." We can't afford to lose too much, and we can't afford to delay too long in Hakuba, because this battle is not easy to fight. ”

"Is there any news from the direction of Yancheng?" Yan Liang asked.

"There is no update. Based on the time, the scouts should be rewarded tonight. Gao Ran said, "I'm worried that the attack will be too fierce and attract Xin Ping's army to Baima too soon, so I've been fighting with Gao Gan for the past few days. Xin Ping probably didn't expect you to cross the river so quickly and stay in Yancheng. ”

"Xin Ping's immobility was not due to a miscalculation, but because Cao Cao on the battlefield in Yanzhou might need his support." Wen Chou smiled, "Of course you have to make a mistake." When we beat the white horse, Xin Ping will cry. ”

The crowd laughed for a while. Yan Liang said suddenly: "Yancheng is one hundred and sixty miles away from Baima, if Xin Ping wants to support, he will not be able to reach Baima until the day after tomorrow at the earliest, you can see ......" Yan Liang raised his horse whip and nodded in the middle of the horse whip, "Shall we fight Xin Ping first?" ”

"Surround the White Horse and attack Xin Ping's reinforcements." Zhang He's spirits perked up, "After defeating Xin Ping, we can directly kill Yanjin and Suojube, and complete the attack on Henan in the fastest time." Zishan, this method is good, send reinforcements first. ”

"After defeating Xin Ping's reinforcements, Gao Gan lost support, I see how long he can hold out." Wen Chou also waved his hand excitedly and said, "No matter how much food he has, he will run out of food one day." After eating the grain, what else can Gao Gan eat? Cannibalism? Gao Gan pampered him, and asked him to eat people, but he was afraid that he would not be able to swallow it. ”

The generals burst into laughter.

"My lord, give the order, and we will march south overnight." Wang Dang said excitedly, "We were surrounded by rebels on the battlefield in Henan, attacked everywhere, and suffered many casualties, and we must make up for the previous losses in this battle." ”

"Okay, let's go overnight." Yan Liang waved his hand vigorously, "Zhengqing, you attacked all the way, the soldiers are very tired, you stay to surround White Horse City." ”

"The rest of the troops, follow me south to Pingyang and besiege and kill the rebels."

In April, Yanzhou East County, Zhongmu.

The Henan battlefield was immediately quiet after the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The armies of all divisions immediately went south to Zhongmu to assemble and prepare to attack the Yanzhou battlefield.

After Tian Feng arrived in Zhongmu, Yuan Xi and more than a dozen generals of the unified army went out of the city to greet him.

Yuan Xi is handsome and elegant, outstanding in writing, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, coupled with a prominent family, making him quite famous in Luoyang, Ying, and Ru. Yuan Shao thought that Yuan Xi was too frivolous and flashy, so he deliberately drove him out of Luoyang and let him go to Nanyang for training. During the few years that Yuan Xi was in charge of Nanyang, Corporal Lixian recruited a lot of talents and governed Nanyang very well. Yuan Xi himself liked scriptures and was good at debating, often going back and forth to the schools in Nanyang and Xiangyang, discussing scriptures with famous scholars and scholars in the two places, and talking about current affairs. His practice greatly improved the relationship between Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, which was deeply liked by Yuan Shao. What especially made Yuan Shao happy was that Yuan Xi had an indifferent temperament and turned a deaf ear to the inheritance. Although Yuan Tan repeatedly wooed Yuan Xi with brotherly love, he was politely rejected by Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi's efforts finally paid off. This time, Yuan Shao sat in Xuchang and handed over the power of front-line command to Yuan Xi. No matter how this battle is won or lost, Yuan Xi's position in Yuan Valve will leap up and surpass Yuan Tan. Yuan Shao not only gained Yuan Xi's trust and loyalty, but also successfully solved the heir problem with Yuan Xi's help.

The generals of Luoyang keenly saw the mystery, and their attitude towards Yuan Xi was suddenly respectful, and even more so, they had begun to quietly "visit" Yuan Xi with heavy gifts to deepen their feelings.

Tian Feng has always been Yuan Shao's cronies in the past, participated in and helped Yuan Shao establish a hegemony, and his status in Luoyang is very high. At this moment, Yuan Shao released Tian Feng from prison and asked him to assist Yuan Xi in commanding the overall situation, and of course Yuan Xi knew his intentions. With Yuan Xi's talent and prestige, he couldn't command this big battle at all, but Tian Feng could. As long as Tian Feng is on the front line, Yuan Xi, the commander, will not only be safe and sound, but also be able to make meritorious contributions.

Yuan Xi took the gift of his disciple and welcomed Tian Feng into Zhongmu City.

Tian Feng stayed in prison for a while, his complexion was obviously very poor, and he was exhausted from the day and night. Yuan Xi planned to let Tian Feng rest for a day before proceeding with the discussion, but Tian Feng refused, "The Central Plains War is entering a critical moment, time is everything, and there must be no delay." ”

Yuan Xi, Jiang Qi, Wen Ping, Han Heng, Ma Yan and others respectively gave detailed explanations of the many battles that took place on the battlefield in Henan in the past month or so.

Sima Liangqi explained the situation on the battlefield in Yanzhou.

"At present, the imperial court requires us to advance rapidly eastward, along Junyi and Xiaohuang, and rush to Gongjiangju between Dongdui and Waihuangcheng." Liang Qi pointed to the map, "In this way, the army can not only go north, meet Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the front line of Dongdui and Jiyang, but also go south to the front line of Waihuang and Kaocheng, block the attack launched by the Northern Xinjiang Army from the area of Bocheng and Jishi City, and protect Chen Liu." ”

"Give up this strategy, give it up immediately."

As soon as Liang Qi's words fell, Tian Feng stood up, waved his hand and said urgently: "Immediately write to Xuchang that we will go north to rush to the front line of Fengqiu and Yancheng, and we can support Baima in the north, and attack Dongduan and Jiyang in the south, so as to respond to the retreat of Cao Cao and Liu Bei." ”

Yuan Xi and the generals were dumbfounded.

"Why?" Yuan Xi lost his voice and asked, "Why do you want to support the white horse?" ”

"Why did Yan Liang withdraw from the Henan battlefield?" Tian Feng walked to the map and said, "The purpose of Yan Liang's invasion of Henan was to hold back our main force in order to help the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army capture Dingtao and Changyi. Now they have not fully achieved this goal, now Cao Ren is still holding on to Dingtao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops are still on the north bank of the Jishui River to rescue Dingtao, and Yan Liang can hold on to the battlefield in Henan for a while. What reason does Yan Liang have for hastily withdrawing from Henan? ”

"Very simply, the Northern Xinjiang Army is to open up a new battlefield, so as to concentrate its forces to encircle and annihilate the armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so as to help the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army quickly advance to the Chenliu line, break through Fengqiu and Chenliu before we establish the second line of defense, kill Henan directly, completely occupy Yanzhou, and form a decisive battle with us in the shortest possible time."

"If we lose the armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, have no advantage in troops, and fail to establish a third line of defense on the front line of Xingyang and Zhongmu due to time constraints, then can we still win this decisive battle?"

Yuan Xi and the generals gathered in front of the map.

"Lord Tian, what does this have to do with us going north to support the White Horse?" Jiang Qi asked in surprise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, if the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army defeats Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and kills Chen Liu, then its two wings ......" Tian Feng put his two hands heavily on the map, "Its two wings are under our attack, and the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army immediately formed a lone force to go deep, and it is very likely that it will be surrounded by us in Chen Liu." ”

Yuan Xi and everyone suddenly realized.

"In this way, Yan Liang's retreat to Henan is to open up a right-wing battlefield." Ma Yan said suspiciously, "Then who opened up the battlefield on the left flank of the Northern Frontier Army?" ”

"If nothing else, it should be the army of Gao Shun, Zang Ba and Guan Hai who attacked Xuzhou." Tian Feng's hand pointed to Ren Chengguo on the map, "After Gao Shun captured Langya County, the Xuzhou army was unable to counterattack Qingzhou in the current situation. At this moment, Gao Shun, Zang Ba and others have no worries, they can take the army from Langya County into Lu State, from Lu State to Rencheng State, and then from Ren Chengguo to Fangdong and Shan Father Line, and then attack Chen Liu from the direction of Bocheng and Jishi City, in order to respond to the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the battlefield in the middle road. ”

"The strength of the Xuzhou army is running out, and the army in Yangzhou has not yet heard back, I don't know if they follow the will of the imperial court to attack Hebei and rebel, so the left-wing battlefield will not pose a threat to us for a while, but the right-wing battlefield is completely different."

"Once the war starts on the right-wing battlefield, the Northern Xinjiang Army will first take the white horse, and then the white horse will be killed by the white horse to the front line of Yancheng, Yanjin, and Suozao, threatening Henan, and once again containing the main force of our army. When the Northern Xinjiang Army reached Fengqiu, our army lost control of the Pushui and Jishui Rivers, and the grain and grass of the Northern Xinjiang Army will go directly south from Baima and Puyang, cross the Pushui River and the Jishui River, and be transported to Chenliucheng at the fastest speed and in the shortest time. ”

"In this way, it is very likely that Cao Cao and Liu Bei will be surrounded by the three-way army of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the area of Dongduan and Jiyang before withdrawing to Chenliu." Wen Ping said in surprise, "I must tell Cao Cao and Liu Bei to ask them to retreat quickly, they will not be able to panic." ”

"No, as long as we block the Northern Xinjiang Army in Baima, the right wing army of the Northern Xinjiang Army will not be able to move south, and the Northern Xinjiang Army will not have absolute superiority in strength, so it will naturally not be able to encircle Cao Cao and Liu Bei. In addition, our army is guarding the line of Yancheng and Fengqiu, and can always control the Pushui River and the Jishui River, and the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army will be greatly slowed down when there is no cover on the flanks and the grain route is threatened, which can give us enough time to establish a second line of defense. ”

"With a strong defensive line, we can have a protracted confrontation with the Northern Frontier Army. The more than 100,000 troops of the Northern Xinjiang Army were trapped in the Central Plains battlefield and could not advance or retreat. After a long time, Hebei's financial resources were immediately exhausted, and the Northern Xinjiang Army had to withdraw. At this time, we can launch a counteroffensive and take advantage of the superiority in strength to inflict heavy losses on the Northern Xinjiang Army and defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army to a pulp. ”

At this point, the generals had already understood Tian Feng's attack strategy. The main force of the army will move north to block Yan Liang's attack, and the situation of the Central Plains War will be reversed.

Yuan Xi's expression was solemn and he hesitated for a long time.

"Why didn't you give the order?" Wen Ping was a little anxious, he suffered a big loss under the management of the city, losing more than 2,000 people, and he was angry in his heart. The generals of Luoyang are worried that it is not good to urge Yuan Xi to offend, he is not afraid, he is the general of the Jingzhou army, and he can say it directly.

Yuan Xi's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly: "I must first play Lord Tian's plan to Xuchang, and when Xuchang agrees, I can give an order, otherwise it will ......"

Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "My lord, this is a war, not a leisure game to relieve boredom." On the battlefield, time is everything. Now that we know that going north to support Baima is the best strategy to delay the Northern Xinjiang Army to attack Chen Liu and rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, what are you hesitating about? You have battlefield command, and you can plan the attack of your army. As long as you can block the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army and rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, you are right, what are you worried about? Are you worried that we won't be able to beat Yan Liang? Worried that Tian-sama's speculation is wrong? ”

Yuan Xi's face turned red, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Although his father let himself command the army on the front line, he knew that if he did not change the attack strategy without his father's consent, he would lose his father's trust regardless of the outcome of the battle. Don't talk about returning to Luoyang in the future, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go back to Nanyang. Brother Yuan Tan's lessons from the past are here.

Wen Ping was a little impatient, and he opened his mouth to say a few more heavy words, but Liu Huyan beside him was quick and grabbed him. Wen Ping snorted angrily, and shook his hand to get rid of Liu Hu. At this time, he saw Pang Ji, who shook his head at him again and again, signaling him to shut up and stop talking. Wen Ping coughed heavily and followed Liu Hu to the back.

None of the generals in Luoyang spoke, and all of them looked at the roof, some pretended to look at the map, and paced leisurely as if they were pondering.

Tian Feng thought for a moment and said to Yuan Xi: "In this way, hurry up to Xuchang with an eight-hundred-mile fast ride." The army rushed to the front line of Junyi and Xiaohuang first. Urgently told Lord Xin Ping of Yancheng to ask him to go north to Baima immediately and stick to Baima City with Gao Gan. ”

Yuan Xi nodded and whispered: "Lord Xinping, it's better for you to write a letter, it doesn't seem good for me to order directly." ”

Tian Feng's heart was cold, his thin body shivered involuntarily, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his heart.

Fast horses galloped in.

Xu You and Yuan Sheng urgently reported that Zhao Yun, the general of Northern Xinjiang, led his troops to kill Chenliu and asked for support.

Yuan Xi was shocked and hurriedly ordered to divide his troops to support.

Tian Feng hurriedly blocked, "The Northern Xinjiang Army is alone in the depths, its intention is to delay our troops, delay our entry into Yanzhou to rescue Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and there is no threat to us." Adults don't divide troops to rescue, as long as the soldiers enter Junyi City, they can be scared away. ”

Yuan Xi didn't obey, Chen Liu lost it, and he couldn't explain it to his father.

"My lord, what if Chen Liu loses it? The main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army was still five hundred miles away, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army was still on the north bank of the Jishui River. This northern Xinjiang army entering Chenliu is tantamount to seeking its own death, and if it does not enter Chenliu, it can still leave a way to live. Tian Feng explained bitterly, "My lord, concentrate your forces and go east to Junyi, don't hesitate." ”

Yuan Xi resolutely refused, and ordered Jiang Qi and Wen Ping to lead 20,000 troops to Chenliu in a hurry. Tian Feng looked up to the sky and sighed, and went to sleep. Jump to
