Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Stirring Section 19 Xun Yu said in the letter that the news had reached Kanto as early as the beginning of this month, but the reliability was very low.

Because if Ma Chao rebelled, his father Ma Teng and Guanzhong Tieqi would be wiped out, Ma Chao was not an idiot, and he would not dare to do such a disobedient thing no matter what.

Xun Yu thought that this was Hebei's discord plan, and the reason why Yuan Shao concealed it and did not report it was obviously because he believed Ma Teng and was worried that Cao Cao and others would be unfavorable to Ma Teng.

It can be seen from this incident that Hebei has done everything in order to defeat the Northern Expeditionary Army. Hebei's not clever discord plan doesn't seem to have any effect, but it gives us a chance to hit Yuan Shao hard.

On the basis of this separation meter, we can apply another separation meter, and the calculation is set. We first secretly leaked this news to Ma Chao, made Ma Chao suspicious, and became wary of Yuan Tan, and then killed Ma Teng at the right time, forced Ma Chao to rebel, and made Guanzhong chaotic, forcing Yuan Shao to be unable to enter the Central Plains.

In this way, we don't have to worry about the Yuan brothers. The reason why we don't dare to boldly enter Jizhou now is that we are worried that the Yuan brothers may take advantage of the decisive battle between us and the Northern Xinjiang Army to attack the Central Plains.

If Yuan Shao falls into the Guanzhong rebellion, then it is purely self-defeating to fight with us for hegemony in the Central Plains with Yuan Shu's strength.

Isn't that exactly what we need? Under the protection of this double separation plan, adults can put down all their burdens and do their best to attack Jizhou.

If Jizhou can be defeated, the adults will own both Hebei and the Central Plains, so the hegemony can be achieved. After Cao Cao read Xun Yu's letter, he thought about it for a long time.

For himself, the primary purpose of the Northern Expedition was not to occupy Jizhou, but to inflict heavy losses on Li Hong and consume the strength of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others.

Only after the strength of all parties is weakened can they survive and develop. Yuan Shao has developed too fast in recent years, if he didn't have the intention to be self-reliant, if he didn't fight with Yuan Shuming, he would have already bowed down.

But it is precisely because Yuan Shao, like Li Hong, actually tried to usurp the Han Sheji, and even wanted to dominate the world, and even wanted to destroy all opponents.

So I had to fight hard. However, the Han Dynasty has come to this day, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court has disappeared, and it is impossible to turn the tide on his own.

At this time, whether it is for the sake of the common people in the world or for their own survival, they must choose the right path.

With his current strength, assisting the Son of Heaven Zhongxing Dahan is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and the most realistic thing is to divide one side and build it first

"Huan, the work of literature", the cause of the king of the post-figure. He is in the land of the four wars in the Central Plains. Not to mention development, even survival is difficult.

The reason why he wanted to unite Tian Kai and Liu Bei to establish a three-family alliance was to fight against Li Hong and Yuan Shao and give himself time for development, but his real purpose was to turn the three into one.

Whether it is Tian Kai or Liu Bei, sooner or later they will become victims of their hegemony. Today's Northern Expedition is the first step towards hegemony.

In his heart, the ideal outcome of the Northern Expedition was that Li Hong suffered a heavy blow and was unable to cross the river to the south within a few years.

Yuan Shao's strength was greatly damaged, and he was unable to enter the Central Plains eastward within a few years. Tian Kai and Liu Bei were beaten to the point of dying, and they could only bow down to themselves.

As for Yuan Shu, he hoped that this fierce ghost in the road would not change his sex, but would intensify his efforts and lead the army to attack the Central Plains.

As long as Yuan Shu launched a surprise attack on his back at the right time, not only did he not hate Yuan Shu, but he also thanked Yuan Shu for helping him.

Without Yuan Shu's attack, how could he preserve his strength? How can you complete the hegemony in a short period of time? To be honest, I never thought of occupying Jizhou.

With Li Hong's force and the strong Hu iron cavalry, even if he occupied Jizhou, he would not be able to gain a foothold. What is particularly serious is that after occupying Jizhou, several forces are bound to have a fierce struggle in order to carve up the interests of Jizhou.

At that time, there was no need for Li Hong to counterattack, and the Northern Expeditionary Army itself would be crushed. Now all forces can form a Northern Expeditionary Army to attack Jizhou because they have their own goals.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu wanted to annex the Central Plains, they wanted to divide one side, and Tian Kai wanted to hit Li Hong hard to temporarily clear the existential crisis faced by Qingzhou.

Liu Biao and Liu Bei were ministers of the clan, and they were nominally for the crusade against the rebellion, but in fact they were also for their own survival.

After all, Li Hong and Yuan Shao's strength is too strong, if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to hit hard, they will all be wiped out in the future.

However, after two months of attacking, the situation did not develop as he had imagined due to the continuous retreat of the Northern Frontier Army.

Now that the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army still exists, Yuan Shao hesitated in Yecheng, and the battle situation has temporarily fallen into a stalemate.

According to Xun Yu's method, Yuan Shaodong could be dragged into the Central Plains. It is believed that when Ma Chao rebelled, Xu Rong of Hedong would not turn a blind eye, and Li Hong might focus on Guanzhong and compete with Yuan Shao for Chang'an.

But how can the current stalemate be broken? If the deadlock cannot be broken, Xun Yu's plan of discord cannot be implemented, and Yuan Shu will not attack the Central Plains when he needs to.

Cao Cao summoned Cheng Yu, Mao Jue, and Guo Jia to discuss the matter.

"I don't know if the adults have noticed, the time when Hedong used the discord meter is not much different from the time when the rebellion occurred in the border counties of Liaodong, both in June." Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and said cautiously.

Cao Cao waved at him,

"Bonghyo, you continue. We're deliberating, and it's okay to be wrong. Cao Cao liked this young subordinate very much.

Xi Zhicai died of illness last year, and Cao Cao was missing a cronie who was planning and plotting, so he often complained to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to him at this time.

Guo Jia is a native of Yangzhai in Yingchuan County and was born in a family of eunuchs. Although his family is not very wealthy, he is also a famous family in Yangzhai.

Guo Jia studied under the respected Confucian Sima Hui (i.e., Mr. Shuijing). Sima Hui is also a native of Yangzhai, he values this talented disciple very much, and once took him to visit famous scholars in Yingying and Ru, so Guo Jia is very famous among the young scholars in Yingchuan and Runan.

He went to Luoyang from Yuan Shao to benefit from the recommendation of Xun Chen and Yuan Wei, who were famous people in Yingchuan. But there are too many Yingchuan celebrities under Yuan Shao, Xu You, Xin Ping, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Xin Bi.

There are many people who are more famous than Guo Jia, and he has no future at all. Guo Jia left Luoyang in this depressed situation and went to his friend Xun Yu.

Because of Cao Cao's background, there are not many famous scholars under him. Coupled with the betrayal of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others, almost half of Yanzhou's celebrities were gone, and Guo Jia was fortunate to be appreciated and reused by Cao Cao.

"My lord, I think that although there was a rebellion between Hu and Han in Liaodong, Li Hong may not be able to put troops into quelling the rebellion." Guo Jia said seriously,

This kind of divisive plan that can be seen through at a glance just illustrates Li Hong's intention to cover up. His main force must be on the front line of Xindu City. Cao Cao, Cheng Yu and the others looked at each other, not knowing what this thin young man wanted to say.

Since Tian Shao crossed the river and fled to Qingzhou, dozens of wealthy families in Liaodong, Lelang and other places have fled to Qingzhou one after another, and the news they brought is the same.

This shows that the scale of the rebellion in the border counties of eastern Liaodong is getting bigger and bigger, and it has seriously threatened the security of Youzhou.

"Yu Peng is Li Hong's cronies, and Gongsun Zhan is a strong general in Northern Xinjiang, these two people rushed to Youzhou, can't they explain the problem?" Mao Jue asked,

"The Northern Frontier Army has been retreating, and the resistance is also very irresolute. Now Li Hong has even given up on Ganling City, which shows how difficult the situation he is facing. If Li Hong hadn't transferred the iron cavalry to the Youzhou battlefield, why would he retreat again and again at such a cost? ”

"That's the problem." Guo Jia said,

Li Hong lured the enemy deeper, and the situation seemed to be getting more and more unfavorable for him. But if we look at ourselves on the other hand, don't we also feel that the situation is getting more and more dangerous? This time, we finally formed a decisive battle situation, but Li Hong avoided it without fighting, which made us fall into great passivity. Now, if we are to accomplish the goals set before the war, we must quickly break the current impasse. Cao Cao nodded appreciatively.

"I don't think it's a stalemate at the moment. On the contrary, now is the best opportunity to capture Jizhou. Cheng Yu picked up Xun Yu's letter and said,

"Isn't that what Wen Ruo said in his letter?"

"Lord Xun doesn't know much about the situation on the front line." Guo Jia hesitated, then looked at Cao Cao again,

"My lord, with our current strength, even if the iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army has already gone north to Youzhou, it will be difficult for us to occupy Jizhou. We are not strong enough, so it is better to accomplish the goals set before the war. ”

"But then we're going to split our forces and head north." Cao Cao frowned and said,

"Once we divide our forces, there are three scenarios. First, the army attacking Nanpi was attacked by the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Although this is what we would like to see, if Yuan Shu does not take the opportunity to attack the Central Plains, we will not be able to get out quickly, and we may be hit hard by the Northern Frontier Army because of insufficient troops. Second, if the Northern Xinjiang Army concentrates its main forces on the Xindu line, we will be the first to be attacked, which we do not want to see. Third, if we can't get out quickly, it will be difficult for the Northern Xinjiang Army to free up its hands to hit Yuan Shao hard. Yuan Shao's strength has not been damaged, even if this discord plan can be successful, it will be difficult for us to stop the Yuan brothers from joining forces to capture the Central Plains. Cao Cao's words seemed to be negative of Guo Jia's suggestion, and he seemed to be more supportive of Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Mao Jue's suggestion to take advantage of the Liaodong rebellion to quickly capture Jizhou.

Cheng Yu and Mao Jue were thus greatly confident, and they tried their best to explain the feasibility of this strategy. The two believed that if the army could take Xindu and the army advanced to the line of the Zhangshui River, then Yuan Shu was very likely to launch an attack on the Central Plains.

But with the troops we are secretly staying in Yanzhou and Xuzhou at present, we can completely block Yuan Shu. In addition, after we killed Ma Teng and forced Ma Chao to oppose Ma Chao, Guanzhong was bound to be in chaos, and Yuan Shao was unable to take care of the Central Plains at all.

At this time, not only could he not cooperate with Yuan Shu to capture the Central Plains, but he also had to attack Jizhou with all our might, lest we retreat on all fronts, so that Li Hong would free up his hands to capture Guanzhong.

Of course, in order to prevent Yuan Shu from taking advantage of the opportunity to sit big, the army left in Yuzhou will also help us fight Yuan Shu together.

As a result, the various armies of the Northern Expeditionary Army had no choice but to attack with all their might. As for how to preserve strength in the follow-up attack, consume other opponents, and occupy Jizhou alone, it will be necessary to make adjustments at any time according to the development of the battle situation.

"This method seriously deviates from the goal of our northern expedition." Guo Jia hit the nail on the head and said,

"We can't pin our hopes of occupying Jizhou on the Liaodong rebellion, let alone on the divisive plan that we haven't had a clue about so far. Although we all want to occupy Jizhou, including Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, in fact, the Northern Expeditionary Army is a scattered sand, and there is no way to work together. Once the news of Yuan Shu's attack on the Central Plains came, Liu Bei, as the minister of the clan, even if he was willing to continue to stay on the battlefield in Jizhou, what about the soldiers of the Xuzhou army? And Yuan Shao, not to mention whether the discordant plan can succeed, even if it succeeds, his strength can completely deal with the rebellion in Guanzhong, and the possibility that he will choose to continue to attack Jizhou with us is very small. His best possibility is to withdraw his troops to protect himself, and then wait for us and Yuan Shu to lose both before making a move. ”

"Don't think that today's prince and the imperial court have any binding force on Yuan Shao and the officials of various states and counties." Guo Jia sighed,

"Today's Son of Heaven and the imperial court are actually a façade, and the reason why we want to rebuild the imperial system is mainly to fight against Li Hong and Yuan Shao. If everyone is still counting on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to respect the Son of Heaven and the imperial court and revive the Han Dynasty, it is really a joke. It is better for everyone to give up the illusion of the Yuan brothers, they are our enemies and eternal enemies like Li Hong, and under no circumstances should we have any illusions that they will work together with us. Guo Jia's words made Cheng Yu and Mao Jue fall into deep thought.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia approvingly, very happy in his heart. Guo Jia finally said what he didn't dare to say.

The Son of Heaven and the imperial court are just a façade, except for the prime minister and his followers who support this façade, everyone else is the enemy of this façade.

Since you are surrounded by enemies, you can kill them all by dealing with them.

"When will Yuan Shu attack the Central Plains?" Cao Cao asked.

"As long as we hit the city of Xindu, Yuan Shu will definitely rebel." Guo Jia said without hesitation.

"If the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army is concentrated on the front line of Xindu City, will we be hit hard after we divide our troops to attack Nanpi?"

Sun Tzu said: Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and if it is doubled, it will be divided, and the enemy will be able to fight. If you have less, you can escape, and if you don't, you can avoid it. Guo Jia smiled slightly,

"What is the purpose of the Northern Xinjiang Army retreating again and again, resolutely not fighting a decisive battle with us? Is it to beat us 50,000 with 100,000? Cao Cao laughed,

"How to hold Yuan Shao back?"

"The Prime Minister is too worried." Guo Jia said with a smile,

"Li Hong retreated six hundred miles in two months, and his purpose was very clear, he would not let go of an enemy. So what the Prime Minister should be thinking about now is how we can safely withdraw from Jizhou. Cao Cao slapped the case hard and praised loudly: "Feng Xiaozhen is the son of this world (Zhang Liang)." In late July, Yuan Shao replied to Cao Cao that the news about the rumors of Ma Chao's rebellion in the Guanluo area was a discordant plan in Hebei and could not be trusted.

If you don't feel at ease, let Ma Teng come to Yecheng and help me fight Yecheng. In addition, Yuan Shao also gave an affirmative reply to the news of the Liaodong rebellion in the book.

This news is currently blocked in Hebei, and only a very small number of Hebei officials know about it, but according to the secret news from Jinyang, some of Jizhou's northern Xinjiang iron cavalry have indeed returned to Youzhou, and now is the best time to seize Jizhou.

Cao Cao immediately convened Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Tian Kai, and Ma Teng to discuss the matter. He showed Yuan Shao's letter to everyone, and tried his best to appease the panicked Ma Teng, asking him not to take this matter to heart.

Like Lord Yuan Shao, we absolutely trust you. Ma Teng was grateful.

"Now we are working together, taking advantage of the fact that Li Hong is suffering from the enemy on his back, we will take Jizhou in one go, eliminate the rebellion as soon as possible, pacify the world, and revitalize the Han Dynasty." Cao Cao was high-spirited and ambitious, and decided to raise his army and kill Xindu directly.

The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army gathered in Ganling City. Guo Jia explained the attack strategy in detail. From the end of this month, the army set out from Ganling City to attack the Qinghe River in three ways, and if nothing else, it could reach the Jiangshui River two hundred miles away in ten days.

After crossing the river, attack sixty miles again, it is the city of Xindu. There are about 100,000 infantry troops in the northern frontier opposite us, but according to scouts, some of them are still stationed in the direction of Nanpi in Bohai County.

Therefore, our early attack must be very ferocious, and we must advance quickly, and we must force Li Hong to transfer more Northern Xinjiang troops from the direction of Nanpi to the direction of Xindu City.

If the Northern Xinjiang Army can't hold the capital of Xin, it will not only lose half of Jizhou, but also quickly lose the entire Jizhou because of the ensuing slackness of military morale and the chaos of the people.

Therefore, the Northern Xinjiang Army can give up Ganling City, but it will never give up Xindu City. The decisive battle under Sinto is inevitable.

The reason why the Northern Frontier Army chose Xindu City to fight a decisive battle with us is very simple, they can use their own iron cavalry to ambush our grain and grass on the 600-mile-long road.

They are trying to bring us down and defeat us. It is undeniable that this method of the Northern Frontier Army can not only preserve its own strength, but also defeat us.

As long as they hold on to Sinto for three or more months, we will be in a very dangerous situation.

Even if we are undefeated, we will at most be able to get half of Jizhou before winter comes, or we will retreat to the south of the Yellow River without success.

The Northern Xinjiang Army fought in Jizhou, not only had enough food and grass, but also had enough time, but we didn't, we had to find a way to quickly defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army and occupy Xindu City.

Guo Jia pointed to Nanpi City on the map.

"After the army crossed the Jiangshui River, it confronted the Northern Xinjiang Army under the city of Xindu, and at this time, we divided our troops to attack Nanpi."

At this time, most of the Northern Xinjiang troops stationed in Nanpi City had already arrived in Xindu City. The garrison of Nanpi City is weak, and the army can fight in one battle. ”

"After taking Nanpi, this partial division immediately crossed the Zhangshui River to the north, and went straight to Zhilecheng, the county of Hejian 150 miles away, and entered the rear of the Northern Xinjiang Army. It doesn't matter whether you can win Lecheng or not, what matters is to cut off the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army, hit the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and still disturb the hearts of the people of the Northern Xinjiang Army. ”

"The rear roads of the Northern Xinjiang Army were cut off, morale was low, and the people's hearts were confused. Ren Li Hong has the talent of heaven, and he can't turn the tide, so he can only lead the army to retreat. ”

"Once the Northern Xinjiang Army retreats, this partial division will immediately set up a position along the Zhangshui River and the Hutuo River to block it, and cooperate with the main army to flank the front and rear."

"Even if we can't defeat the Northern Frontier Army in this battle, we can still beat the Northern Frontier Army to the ground." Guo Jia's slender fingers swiped hard along the middle of Jizhou on the map,

"So half of Jizhou is in the bag." The atmosphere inside the tent was high.

"The rest will be easy." Guo Jia's voice suddenly became very excited,

In order to lure the enemy deeper, Li Hong withdrew more than one million people to the north-central counties of Jizhou, and these people saw that the Northern Xinjiang Army had lost half of Jizhou and returned in defeat, and the consequences could be imagined. Fear, anger, disappointment, grief...... The people of Jizhou will soon be in chaos. There are millions of people in the north-central counties of Jizhou, and the direct consequence of this chaos must be the complete loss of Jizhou. ”

"The Northern Xinjiang Army can only retreat in embarrassment, but we can easily get the whole of Jizhou." Guo Jia's fair face gradually turned red, and his voice became more high-pitched.

"Dahan Sheji is just around the corner." The tent suddenly boiled, and the cheers were deafening. In July, Yecheng.

Eight hundred miles of fast riding rushed into the city gate. In the palace, Zhang Yan, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Wei County Taishou Ding Li and others were sitting in the quiet garden, chatting together, and there was no tension at all in the city.

Wu Ye, the middle of the Northern Army, hurriedly walked in with a bamboo slip in his hand.

"My lord, Lord Tian Chou is in a hurry." Zhang Yan saw that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly handed over the pu fan in his hand.

"It's too hot, fan it." Zhao Yun pointed to the stone drum beside him and said with a smile: "Sit down first and take a breath." ”

"What is the urgency of Lord Tian?" Lu Bu waited for Wu Ye to sit down, pointed to the bamboo slip in his hand and asked,

"Did the 10,000 war horses arrive in Handan?"

"The war horses have arrived in Handan, fifteen thousand." Wu Ye slapped the fan a few times,

"Lord Tian said that on the 800-mile road from Handan to Lecheng, there were seven grain and grass battalions to replenish the iron cavalry army with forage and food." Lu Bu nodded,

"The Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion haven't arrived at the Handan camp yet?"

"I'll be there tonight." Wu Ye took a sip of cold water and wiped the water stains on his mouth,

"The Changshui Battalion and the Huqi Battalion have arrived in Handan."

"Which of you two will go first?" Zhang Yan looked at Zhao Yun and Lu Bu and asked with a smile.

"I'd better go first." Zhao Yun said,

"Tomorrow, Zifeng (Jiang Wu) and I will go to Handan, and we will leave with 10,000 iron cavalry, Yue cavalry camp and tiger camp first. Brother Feng Xian will show his face in front of Yuan Shao's camp tomorrow, and then go to Handan to follow up with the Changshui camp and the Hu cavalry camp. ”

"Brother Fengxian, if Yuan Shao fights tomorrow, you can have a good time." Jiang Wu said with a smile on the side.

"Yuan Shao is taking refuge in Pingyang City for the summer, and he is expected to fight at least until autumn." Lu Bu scoffed,

"It looks like he's made up his mind, and he's not going to shoot a shot. It doesn't really matter if I show my face tomorrow or not. Then he arched his hand to Zhang Yan and said,

"We're all gone, Brother Feiyan is going to be tired."

"It's too easy for 20,000 people to defend a city." Zhang Yan shook his hand and smiled,

"When you go to the east, there will be bloody battles, and it will be difficult to fight."

"Forty-five thousand iron horsemen slaughtered into the battlefield, and as many as they wanted." Jiang Wu waved his hand vigorously, arrogant,

"Brother Feiyan, we'll see you on the banks of the Yellow River." At the beginning of August, the Northern Expeditionary Army, under the command of Cao Cao, slaughtered the Qinghe River with overwhelming momentum.

The Northern Frontier Army held back for three days, and then withdrew across the Jiangshui River. On the August side, the Jiangshui River, Yangfang crossing. Huang Tong sat on the hot grass, looking at the busy chariot battalion soldiers in the distance, and a trace of mockery lifted at the corner of his mouth.

In vain, I worked hard all day against such a big sun, and I had to withdraw before I could shoot a few stones.

Retreat, retreat, retreat all day long. What kind of battle is this? I have fought in the Northern Xinjiang Army for so many years, and I have never fought such a bad battle.

It's like I used to be in the Yellow Turban Army. If you run in a battle, you will run for dozens of miles and hundreds of miles, where is the majesty of the Northern Frontier Army?

A few soldiers lay under their shields, cursing and cursing while hiding from the scorching sun. Huang Tong didn't need to listen to it to know what they were scolding.

Retreating from the banks of the Yellow River to the Jiangshui River, the soldiers' grievances became bigger and bigger, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.

Why retreat on earth? Is it that he can't beat the enemy, or is his superior's brain broken? Is this battle really going to be lost?

Resentment and panic gradually permeated the entire Northern Frontier Army with the increasingly terrifying heat of this summer.

"Uncle, I suspect that Koji General is a traitor?" The stick lay on the grass, put his mouth to the ear of the big black, and whispered,

"He's going to betray the general."

"Don't talk nonsense, you will be killed if you say this." Da Hei was startled, hurriedly got up and looked around, and then slapped the stick hard.

"No nonsense." The stick grinned aggrievedly and muttered unconvinced: "We have so many people, why do we want to withdraw?" Can't we beat the enemy? My family is not here, my family is in Dongwuyang, even if I die in battle, I will die in Dongwuyang. ”

"You know what?" Da Hei lay down lazily, closed his eyes and yawned,

"It's a fight, not a fight. Shangguan listens to where you fight, you fight wherever you want, what do you want to do? ”

"Of course I want to." The stick points to his head,

"I'm going to lose my head, can't I still think about why I want to lose it?" Daikoku ignored him and slept with his eyes closed.

"Uncle, what do you say the general is doing now? Does he know that we have withdrawn to the Jiangshui River? The stick was bored, and couldn't help but lean into the big black ear again.

"Yes."

"He certainly doesn't know." The stick said,

"The general has won every battle, and he will never let us retreat." Da Hei opened his eyes to look at him, suddenly thought of something, and sighed softly.

General, where are you? This battle shouldn't have been fought like this. If I lose, I will have nothing, wife and children, grass hut, happiness, nothing.

"Knock knock ......" The war drums sounded weakly. Ban Yun turned his head and glared at the soldier beating the drum,

"Three meals a day, eaten for nothing? Knock me hard. "The drum beat was a little louder, but still weak.

Ban Yun came up angrily, he rushed to the side of the soldier in a few steps, and raised his leg is a kick,

"You're looking for death...... the soldier was also on fire, and slammed the drumstick to the ground.

"Isn't it just retreat? What's there to be angry about? I've retreated for hundreds of miles, and I've lost all my face, what else to knock on? If there is a sound, it will not do. ”

"You kid don't want to live anymore?" Ban Yun roared angrily.

"Are you still alive? If you continue to withdraw like this, you will die sooner or later. The soldier threw his neck sideways and roared louder than Ban Yun.

Ban Yun wanted to fight but was reluctant to fight, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked the war drum on the ground when he raised his foot.

"Give me the drums, assemble, retreat......" More than 200 people in a tun staggered, listlessly following Ban Yun and facing the north.

"My lord, you want to retreat again?" Huang Tong caught up with Shang Yun and said angrily,

"The enemy is still more than ten miles away from the Jiangshui River. Why are you in such a hurry to withdraw? Ban Yun lowered his head and shouted angrily: "When I become a general, I'll tell you why?" Huang Tong knew that he had been getting more and more angry recently, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Hurriedly stopped, opened his mouth wide and scolded him silently at his back.

"What are you scolding me for?" Ban Yun turned his head suddenly, his eyes widened and he shouted,

"Are you looking for a fight?" Huang Tong was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run. Unexpectedly, he collided with a rushing herald and sat on the ground.

"My lord, the army has an order, ordering you to hurry east and rush to Bailingdu to meet him."

"...... to the east" Ban Yun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated,

"You say east?" The herald did not answer him, and had already turned and ran. Huang Tong jumped up from the ground and shouted happily,

"My lord, it's to the east, not to the north. We don't have to retreat, we're going to fight. Ban Yun was in good spirits, raised his arms high, stood on the side of the road and roared,

"Brothers, to the east, we to the east." On the beginning of August, the city of Xindu, the general marched. Sima Yi walked into the big tent with a few volumes of documents.

Li Hong and Jia Xu were lying on the map spread in the center of the big tent and discussing something in a whisper, when they saw Sima Yi walking in, he hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Zhongda, is there an urgent report from Youzhou?" Sima Yi shook his head.

Li Hong sighed softly, stood up slowly, and walked to the back of the desk anxiously. Yan Wudaunt still hasn't found a step change, and Kirby Bear on the Fire Cloud Plain quickly became the king of the Fire Cloud Plain as if he sensed a threat.

Kirby Bear's move disrupted the deployment of the imperial court, and also stirred up layers of waves among the desert Hu clan. This child of the Xianbei Tiger Clan grew up, and began to gradually show his tiger fangs to the big man.

Yu Peng and Gongsun Zhan went to Youzhou together, but before the two had gathered their troops, bad news came from Liaodong that the Xianbei people had attacked Fuyu.

This information provided by Karasuma Ren Bandun is diametrically opposed to the information provided by the Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du.

Gongsun Du wrote a letter to the imperial court and Wang Ze, the assassin of Youzhou, and the Xianbei people, Karasuma people and Buyeo people joined forces to attack Biansai.

Xuanyu County was occupied by the Xianbei people, Lelang County was occupied by the Buyeo people, and the Karasuma people captured the Liaodong vassal country, and they were leading the army to attack the three counties and swear to defend the land to the death.

Of course, Gongsun Chan did not trust the Karasuma people, he rejected the advice of Yu Peng and Wang Ze, and immediately led his army into the Karasuma tribe in Youbeiping.

Wuyan, the king of Khanlu, couldn't defeat him, so he fled in panic to the north of Dayan Mountain and surrendered to the king of Xianbei, Kirby Xiong.

The Karasuma people in western and eastern Liaoxi were furious when they heard the news, and the king of Bailang immediately gathered an army to fight Gongsun Chan to the death.

Gongsun Zan wanted to march into Liaoxi to quell the rebellion, and he needed a lot of grain and grass, but now the imperial court could not provide him with it, so he had to station troops in Feirucheng in Liaoxi, patiently waiting for the end of the Jizhou War.

The confrontation between Karasuma and Gongsun Chan severed the connection between the imperial court and Liaodong, and now no one knows what happened there in Liaodong.

After eight years of internal war, all the Hu people in the desert already know that Dahan is no longer the big man of the past, and the leopard is no longer the brave and invincible leopard of the past.

The big man is about to collapse, and the leopard that has lost its mother's protection is like losing its soul, losing its sharp teeth and bloody claws, and the leopard is no longer sharp.

Without the powerful man, the Hu people felt that the night had passed, and they were about to see the golden sun.

Without the bloody leopard, the Hu people felt that the storm had stopped, and the clear blue sky was once again visible.

"General, Liaodong is three thousand miles away from here, even if there is news, it will take a while." Jia Xu walked up to Li Hong and comforted him softly,

"The distance from Liaodong to Qingzhou is very close, and if there is a war in Liaodong, there will definitely be people who cross the sea to Qingzhou for refuge. Therefore, the rebels should have received news of the Liaodong rebellion before us, which would be of great benefit to the development of the war situation. ”

"General, the Liaodong rebellion is conducive to our defeat of the rebels." Sima Yi also persuaded,

"When we defeat the rebels, General Gongsun can send troops to Liaodong. With his bravery, quelling the rebellion in Liaodong was not easy to capture. Li Hong smiled bitterly,

"It's hard. With the power of the three states of Hebei, it is not only necessary to feed tens of millions of people, but also to guard the border fortress and calm the world, which is difficult......"

"If this battle can be fought well, it will not be difficult to calm the world." Jia Xu persuaded again,

"The battle of Jizhou was won, and it was also a huge shock to the desert Hu people. I believe that no matter how ambitious they are, there are still very few people like Kirby Bear who dare to openly confront the big man. Li Hong didn't speak, sat behind the desk, and was silent for a long time.

"When will Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Jiang Wu arrive in Hejian Country?"

"It's going to be there, it'll be there in two or three days." Sima Yi bowed and replied,

"According to your orders, they will cross the Zhangshui River and enter Bohai County in the near future."

"Where is Lord Gaoshun's army?"

"I'm about to enter Anping Country and arrive at the front line of Xindu City." Sima Yi said,

"The three adults, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Zhang Liao, are leading the army to Bohai County in a hurry." Li Hong looked at the map and was stunned for a while.

"Three days later, order the army to withdraw to the city of Shinto." Jump to
