Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Stirring Section 17 On June, Huanshui River, Feng Ting. Xin Ping hurried to the Hanoi army camp and handed Yuan Shao's letter to Zhang Yang.

After Zhang Yang read the letter, his face was embarrassed,

"In front of me, there are Zhao Yun and Jiang Wu's Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry, and there are Lu Bu, Chang Gong, and Chen Jian's Northern Xinjiang elites, and it is difficult for my 20,000 people to break through their resistance, so I ......"

"You have already read Lord Yuan's letter, and you know what Lord Yuan's intentions are." Xin Ping pointed to the map on the desk with annoyance and said,

"If we can't break through the blockade of the Northern Xinjiang Army and kill Yecheng, Cao Cao will inevitably stop after hitting the Ganling Kingdom, so no matter what the cost is, we must complete this goal in mid-June." Zhang Yang sighed.

He never thought that Yuan Shao's purpose in fighting this battle was not to quell the rebellion, nor to pacify the world, but for his own hegemony.

What is Yuan Shao's hegemony, he can more or less see a point, last year's words and five virtues have always been said

The intention of "Yuan's generation of Han" was completely exposed. If it weren't for Cao Cao, Tian Kai and Liu Bei rebuilding the imperial system with the strength of the three alliances, it would be difficult to say what the situation in the world would be today.

If Yuan Shao's intention can be realized this time, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei will suffer heavy losses on the battlefield in the middle lane, and Yuan Shao will definitely succeed in occupying the Central Plains and Jingzhou, and form a strong momentum with Li Hong in Hebei, which is a good plan to kill people with a knife.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but shudder. Is everything now premeditated by Yuan Shao?

Yuan Shaoxian always said the words of the weft and the five virtues

"Yuan's Dynasty Han" spread all over the world, forcing Cao Cao and others to hurriedly rebuild the imperial system, and then he took advantage of the opportunity to go north to crusade against Li Hong to severely damage Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others, and took the opportunity to occupy the Central Plains and Jingzhou, and rapidly expanded his strength.

At the same time, Li Hong of Hebei was also hit hard by this battle, and he was unable to go south in the short term, giving Yuan Shao enough time to develop his strength.

If Yuan Shao can defeat Li Hong and pacify the world in the future, then this has already spread all over the world

"Yuan's generation of Han" has also become a fact. A seemingly flawless plan to usurp Han Zuo.

Brother Fengxian's words are right, Yuan Shao has no intention of reviving the Han Dynasty at all, what he wants is his own hegemony, what he wants is the world of the Yuan family, he is no longer the Yuan Shao of the past.

"If Lord Zhang thinks that he is not capable of defeating the Northern Frontier Army, then I advise Lord Zhang, you immediately ask Lord Yuan to resign, and let someone who has the ability to defeat the Northern Frontier Army replace you." Xin Ping saw that Zhang Yang was silent, and said unceremoniously,

"Although you explained to Lord Yuan the reason why you met with Lu Bu privately, this is not a reason for you to disobey Lord Yuan's military order and refuse to attack the Northern Frontier Army." Zhang Yang looked at him coldly.

"If you insist on disobeying military orders, then I will no longer care about it." Xin Ping stood up abruptly and said loudly,

"I suspect that you betrayed Lord Yuan and fornicated and rebelled." The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became tense, and Dong Zhao, Yang Chou and other Hanoi civil and military officials all looked frightened.

Zhang Yang smiled indifferently and didn't say a word.

"Lord Xin, this is a critical moment in the Hebei War, and you need to work together, how can you be suspicious." Dong Zhao asked angrily.

Xin Ping turned his face to look at him and smiled contemptuously: "Up and down? You accompanied Lord Zhang to meet Lu Bu privately, do you think I don't know? You can't escape the suspicion of fornication and rebellion. Dong Zhao was furious, and just wanted to refute it, but Yang Chou beside him hurriedly stood up and grabbed him,

"Lord Xin is just suspicious, why should Lord Dong be angry?" Then he said to Zhang Yang,

"My lord, since Lord Yuan has a military order, then let's follow the military order and attack Neihuang." Zhang Yang looked at him coldly and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, several other generals of the Hanoi Army also stood up and admonished Zhang Yang. Yuan Shao's army was blocked by the Northern Xinjiang Army on the bank of the Yellow River, while the Hanoi Army did not move, which is indeed unreasonable, and there is no reason, unless Zhang Yang has secretly defected to Hebei as Xin Ping said.

Now as long as Zhang Yang leads the army to attack, he can shatter Xin Ping's groundless speculation. Zhang Yang waved his hand,

"Please Han Hao, Lord Han Hao, rush to the camp immediately." Late at night, Dong Zhao was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Lord Dong......" Zhao Hu rushed into the military tent and pulled Dong Zhao up,

"Xin Ping wants to kill you, run away." Dong Zhao was so frightened that he shivered all over, and he didn't feel sleepy.

"How do you know? What power does Xin Ping have to kill me? ”

"Xin Ping has a holy decree on his body, as well as a warrant from Lord Yuan." Zhao Hu said eagerly,

"Just now, Yang Chou called several of our captains to his military tent. Xin Ping showed us the holy decree. Lord Yuan wants to kill you, and he wants to escort Lord Zhang to Luoyang. Lord Han Hao will replace Lord Zhang as the Taishou of Hanoi, and Yang Chou will be asked to be captured by General Zhonglang to lead our army of 10,000. Dong Zhao scolded angrily, turned over and got up, and asked in a low voice while dressing, "How did you come out?" How long has it been out? ”

"I'm here to get you." Zhao Hu smiled bitterly,

"That day, Lord Zhang and you met Lu Bu in private, it must have been Yang Chou who secretly told Yuan Shao, this bastard ......"

"How many people did you bring?" Dong Zhao asked.

"Fifty, they are all my personal guards, and they will not betray me." Zhao Hu said,

"Put on your armor, sandwich yourself between the guards, and rush out of the camp with me." Dong Zhao patted him on the shoulder gratefully and shook his head,

"I can't escape. As soon as I escape, Lord Zhang's charge of fornication and rebellion will be confirmed, and Yuan Shao will definitely kill him. ”

"Lord Dong, it was Sean who captured Lord Zhang." Zhao Hu said,

"Both people and Xiao En are from Northern Xinjiang, and it was Lord Zhang who brought us to Luoyang back then. We have been together for so many years, like brothers, and we will never watch Yuan Shao kill him. "Dong Zhao is overjoyed,

"Then let's go." When the military Sima on duty at the gate saw Zhang Yang, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry to open the door." Zhang Yang waved the horsewhip in his hand, and then turned his head to look at the barracks bathed in *night* (**please delete), with a faint sadness and nostalgia on his face.

Suddenly, the drums of war beat in the camp,

The sound of the drums of "Knock Knock ......" instantly tore apart the silence of the night. Then the galloping of horses and the roars of the soldiers rose to the sky.

The guards on duty who were opening the gate did not hesitate and immediately closed the door.

"Open the door for me." Shaun roared, and the sword whistled out of its sheath,

The violators' guards were panicked and uneasy, and they all looked at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang smiled bitterly,

"Open the door...... Zhao Hu rushed to the gate with Dong Zhao and rushed into the darkness. Zhang Yang galloped away surrounded by Sean and others.

Yang Chou led a team of iron horsemen to chase five miles and stopped. Xin Ping wiped the sweat from his head and said breathlessly: "This Zhang Yang runs faster than a rabbit." Yang Chou listened to the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappearing in the darkness, and said regretfully: "Lord Xin, let Zhang Yang go, Lord Yuan's strategy to break the enemy will be revealed, how can this battle be fought?" Xin Ping smiled slightly,

"Lord Yang has made a lot of credit this time." Yang Chou glanced at him in horror, and arched his hand and said: "The lower officials are ineffective, let Zhang Yang escape, the crime is unforgivable, and please ask Lord Xin to ......"

"What is Lord Yang's crime?" Xin Ping smiled and comforted,

"Let Zhao Hu and Sean arrest people, it's my arrangement, and it has nothing to do with you." Yang Chou thanked him gratefully, but he was very puzzled in his heart, could it be that Xin Ping deliberately let Zhang Yang go?

He decided to immediately report the matter to Yuan Shao, so as not to be implicated. In early June, the general Li Hong received an urgent report from Lu Bu.

Yuan Shao suspected him of fornication and rebellion because Zhang Yang and Lu Bu met, and wanted to kill Zhang Yang, forcing Zhang Yang to flee to Hebei.

This seems to be a lack of reason, and then it is thought that Yuan Shu sent an envoy to Hebei to join forces with him to attack and kill the rebels, which made Li Hong have to be cautious about this matter.

How credible are the flamboyant words? However, one thing is certain, regardless of whether the Yuan brothers shook hands or not, they all targeted Cao Cao's three-family alliance, which is a point that Hebei can take advantage of.

But Cao Cao's three-family alliance is not an idiot, they must have a way to deal with the Yuan brothers, otherwise why would they rebuild the imperial system before Yuan Shao?

Why rush to unite with the Yuan brothers to attack Hebei? In order to damage the strength of the Hebei and Yuan brothers, and to preserve and develop their own strength, what amazing strategies did Cao Cao and his three alliances have?

"Did Liu Biao and Ma Teng's army reach the middle battlefield?"

"We didn't hear from it." Fu Gan said,

"After we gave up Dongwuyang, Yangping and Liaocheng, Cao Cao and Liu Bei did not take advantage of the victory to attack, judging from this point, maybe Liu Biao and Ma Teng really want to go to the middle battlefield."

"Only by continuously increasing the number of troops on the middle battlefield can the rebels force us to draw reinforcements from the east and west battlefields, so that the two flanks of the rebels can advance quickly and continue to maintain the distance between their three main armies." Sima Yi pointed to the map and said,

"In my opinion, if you want Cao Cao to quickly advance to Ganling City, it is better to let Yuan Shao in as soon as possible." Li Hong looked up at Jia Xu,

"What about Lord Jia's opinion?"

"Let's retreat to the line of Neihuang, Fanyang, and Yin'an first." Jia Xu smiled,

"We always have to save some face for Yuan Shao. Push him to be anxious, he wants to bite. Li Hong laughed,

"Okay, order Zhang Yan and Lu Bu to retreat immediately. Urgently tell Lu Yi, don't fight hard, if you can't do it, you will return to Ganling City. "In mid-June, the Northern Xinjiang Army on the Western Road Battlefield retreated on all fronts.

Yuan Shao then led his army to advance, and the two sides continued to fight. After the end of the Qin Ting military conference, Ma Teng led 5,000 iron cavalry to Hemu City to meet Liu Biao.

The two armies marched eastward along the Yellow River to meet Cao Cao at Dongwuyang. In order to guard against the surprise attack of the iron cavalry in the northern frontier, the army marched slowly, and the road of more than 200 miles actually took six days.

In mid-June, when Cao Cao learned that Yuan Shao had crossed the river to the north and forced to the Neihuang line, he immediately commanded more than 80,000 people from the Yanzhou Army, the Jingzhou Army, the Xuzhou Army, and the Guanzhong Iron Cavalry to attack the Fagan and Leping lines.

The Northern Xinjiang Army could not resist it, and the whole line retreated to Dahe, taking advantage of the favorable terrain to continue to stubbornly resist.

At this time, Tian Kai received Cao Cao's order and suddenly commanded the Qingzhou army to cross the river and attack Ganling City from the direction of Juancheng.

Juancheng is less than two hundred miles away from Ganling City, a flat river, and there is no danger to defend. Li Hong hurriedly dispatched Wei Jun and Liu Ming to lead 10,000 iron cavalry to block it, and at the same time ordered Yan Liang, Wang Dang, Zhang Liao, and Li Su on the East Road battlefield to quickly lead troops to support.

In late June, the general moved to Ganling City, eighty miles away from the battlefield of Dahe. More than a dozen generals of the unified army, including Lu Yi, Yan Liang, Wang Dang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Li Su, Wei Jun, Zhang Liao, Liu Ming, Lou Lu, and Lu Huanyang, rushed to Xingyuan to participate in the military meeting.

Sima Fu Gan reported the latest battle situation. After more than a month of hard fighting, the battlefield had moved back to a place more than 150 miles away from the Yellow River, but the Northern Xinjiang Army still did not find a chance to annihilate the enemy.

On the contrary, the situation is becoming more and more severe. The most unexpected change was that Cao Cao suddenly gave up the East Road Battlefield and let Tian Kai directly cross the river and join the Middle Road Battlefield.

Originally, we were going to stubbornly block the middle battlefield, lure the enemy deep in the east battlefield, and then make full use of the distance between the two battlefields of the middle and east roads, first encircle and annihilate the rebels on the east battlefield, and then wait for the opportunity to attack Cao Cao on the middle battlefield.

Who knew that Cao Cao actually gave up the battlefield on the east road, so that all our plans failed. After Tian Kai's Qingzhou Army joined the middle battlefield, the total strength of the rebel army reached more than 100,000 people, which was on a par with us, and a decisive battle situation had been formed.

We don't want to fight the rebels. The reason why we want to change the external battle to the inner line is to divide the strength of the rebels, destroy the enemy to the greatest extent, and preserve our own strength.

If we are forced to fight the rebels this time, our losses will be far greater than those of fighting on the outside front.

In other words, even if we win this battle, we lose the opportunity to calm the world in three to five years.

We actually lost this battle.

"Cao Cao is very powerful, he made a three-way attack on the same thing, we can't tell the truth from the false, and we were fooled." Li Hong shook his head and smiled,

"This Eastern Road Battlefield is a hoax at all, and Cao Cao's real purpose is to contain our forces so that he can quickly reach Ganling City, and then force us to fight him in a decisive battle in Ganling City. The fact that the decisive battle was formed so quickly shows how passive we are now. ”

"Why didn't we see that he was so good back then?" Yan Liang sneered,

"If we knew this, we should have killed him when we robbed our relatives in Luoyang." The crowd burst into laughter.

"General, a decisive battle is a decisive battle, what are you afraid of?" Liu Ming slapped the case, and waved his hand angrily,

"100,000 against 100,000, kill him and cry wolf." Koji Yi turned his head to look at him, and teased with a smile: "I can't see it, King Youxian is so bold now, I admire it." Then his face changed, and he suddenly said viciously,

"My Northern Xinjiang Army has lost troops, do you want to rebel again?" Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, then gave him a sad face and stopped talking.

He understood Koji's temper and knew that he was joking, and he didn't get angry. Now these generals in northern Xinjiang are all generals who are in charge of their own affairs, and they have a thorough understanding of the situation, and they know that a decisive battle is not a good thing for Hebei.

Just like Fu Gan said just now, even if he won the battle this time, he lost the opportunity to quickly go south to quell the rebellion.

A few years later, Hebei recovered, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also recovered, and they may be stronger than they are now.

If this is the case, then the future counterinsurgency war will be very difficult, and the day of pacifying the world will be even more distant.

What can be done to avoid a decisive battle and inflict heavy losses on the rebels? The generals said everything to me, and the argument was very lively.

There are great generals sitting in Ganling, and everyone thinks that Hebei can win this battle, which is the most solid belief in the hearts of the generals after countless tragic battles in the past ten years.

The great general will not be defeated, will never be defeated, no one doubts. Li Hong motioned for the generals to be quiet and listen to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu stood in front of the map, pointed to Nanpi and said: "Nanpi is three hundred miles away from Pingyuan City, and if you defeat Nanpi, the rebels can threaten us from the flank." In other words, within 250 miles from Ganling City to Xindu City, they were all under the threat of rebels. Therefore, we have always believed that the rebels will take advantage of our deployment to support the central battlefield, and divide our forces to support the eastern battlefield so that we can quickly reach Nanpi and force us to continue to retreat. ”

"The reason why we have this judgment is because we think that the rebels are full of internal contradictions, and they are unwilling to fight a decisive battle with us, or the rebels dare not fight us so quickly, so we put the opportunity to destroy the enemy on the battlefield on the eastern road."

"The rebels apparently grasped this mentality very accurately, so they went against the norm and categorically abandoned the eastern battlefield and instead concentrated all their forces on the central battlefield, seeking an immediate decisive battle with us, so that they could also achieve the goal of forcing us to continue to retreat."

"The goal of the rebels has been achieved, and now we have no chance to annihilate the enemy, so we can only continue to retreat, withdraw another two hundred and fifty miles, and withdraw to Xindu City." The crowd was amazed.

"We withdrew so quickly to the city of Xindu that the distance between the rebels on the two battlefields was stretched by nearly five hundred miles." Jia Xu pointed to Xindu City on the map with one hand, and Yecheng on the map with the other.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is our chance to destroy the enemy." Zhang Liao immediately asked: "Lord Jia, judging from the situation introduced by Master Fu just now, first, we will not give up Yecheng, second, Yuan Shao may not support Cao Cao, and third, the distance between the two battlefields is so large, the rebels must be careful, it is difficult for us to divide our troops to the south to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao, unless Cao Cao wants to put Yuan Shao to death." But once Yuan Shao is defeated, how long can Cao Cao survive? I believe Cao Cao understands this truth very well, so in the current situation, he will never give us the opportunity to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao. Jia Xu nodded appreciatively,

"Ladies and gentlemen, what hint do we give to the rebels by quickly retreating to the city of Shinto?" Zhang Liao realized,

"Jizhou is about to succeed." sneered,

"Advancing to the middle of Jizhou will make the rebels very excited, and the contradictions between them will even weaken. But because of our heavy garrison, the growth of the rebels' food routes, and the repeated harassment of our iron cavalry, they must be desperate to defeat us. At this time, Yuan Shao was unable to go north for reinforcements, and in desperation, they had only one way......" Jia Xu pointed his finger at Nanpi.

The generals suddenly woke up. Jump to
