Chapter 15 Crossing the River by Dividing the Army

Yanbei said a word, and the Liyang soldiers were in chaos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Taking a trip to Xingyang, Yanbei said it easily, but no one didn't know what was behind such a relaxed sentence.

Cao Mengde's excitement was not mentioned for the time being, although Yanbei should invest his soldiers and horses, he did not save any face in his words, and even crossed the Yellow River directly at dusk that day without giving Cao Cao time to bathe and change his armor, and lit candles in the Chinese army tent in the Liyang camp at night to prepare for battle.

According to Cao Cao, the battle of Xingyang was fought suddenly, his soldiers and horses were marching to the west of Bianshui Pass, Xu Rong's Liangzhou soldiers and horses mixed with the Luoyang Northern Army suddenly killed, and the undertrained Jiwu new soldiers hurriedly responded to the battle, they were not opponents and Xu Rong's soldiers and horses were less than Xu Rong's soldiers and horses, and almost at the same time the two wings of the front army were in a hurry, and Cao Cao was so surprised that Cao Cao urgently ordered Xiahou to lead his troops and horses to aid Weizi, which made Cao Cao's army array full of loopholes.

Xu Rong seized the opportunity to make the elite Han cavalry in the Luoyang Northern Army rush straight to Cao Cao's empty army, cut off Cao Cao's battle flag, and only defeated the main formation of a few hundred people, so that Cao Cao's troops lost contact, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses became headless flies, losing all the plates.

The first battle was defeated.

On the way to the west to Bianshui, the Liangzhou cavalry pursued along the way, Cao Cao's soldiers trampled on each other, and the number of people killed was unknown. There were only 3,000 soldiers and horses left to escape Bianshui, which was a fiasco, and then the subordinates came with news that the Liangzhou army had caught up.

It was another battle, the remnants of the defeated army lost their courage, Cao Cao resisted but there were no reinforcements, if it weren't for his cousin Cao Hong's courage to save his life, I am afraid he would not have been able to return to the sour jujube alive.

At this point, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were lost, and there were only more than 600 people left who went out to fight more than 10,000 and finally returned to Sour Zao.

Go down in flames.

In the Chinese military tent, Cao Cao recounted the course of the battle, and the generals under Yanbei's command all had ugly faces and did not say a word.

"General!" Lu Yi was the first to speak, his face was hard to see, and he did not shy away from Cao Cao in his words, and said to Yan Bei: "Koji does not agree to divide the soldiers and horses with General Cao!" ”

The scout is unknown, and the Lord will be the first to collapse...... What kind of battle is this Cao Mengde fighting? In Lu Yi's eyes, the complete responsibility for losing this battle lies with this Cao Lieutenant, how can he agree that Yanbei will hand over the newly recruited soldiers he personally recruited to Cao Cao.

Although Yan Bei didn't say it, everyone in the account knew that Yan Bei would give Cao Cao troops and would never give him his most elite subordinates. But who else can there be other than elite subordinates? Either it is the light cavalry of Su Fuyan of the Wuhuan people, or it must be selected from the four soldiers and horses of Hu Cai, Liyang, Yuyang, and Duliao. There are only 10,000 new pawns among the more than 20,000 people inside and outside Yanbei, and 8,000 are selected for Cao Cao...... In any case, the new pawns recruited by Lu Yi himself must be handed over.

He recruited those sons and daughters to follow him to fight on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and handed them to Cao Cao was not to fight, but to stuff one foot into the ghost gate first! What kind of face will he take in Jizhou Township in the future, and the women who handed over their sons and husbands to him will scold his ancestors!

Yan Bei frowned and didn't pay attention to Lu Yi, just waved his hand to let him sit back. I saw Cao Cao, who was bowing his head, arching his hand and saying: "General, Cao knows that the fault of this battle lies with me, dragging the soldiers' lives in vain, and I don't have the luxury of leading the troops in person, as long as the general returns to the division and goes west, Cao is willing to be a pawn!" ”

Yan Bei looked at Cao Cao and nodded slightly, this unattractive Cao Cao's revenge psychology is not ordinarily strong, this is quite similar to him, there is a momentum who makes me uneasy for a day, and who I make my life sad.

"Brother Meng De did lose this battle, and he lost a little." Yan Bei nodded, but there was no ridicule on his face, and said to Cao Cao: "But victory and defeat are commonplace, who hasn't lost a few battles?" Since Yan said that he would pay you 8,000, that is 8,000. ”

"Who hasn't lost?" Lu Yi's face stinked even more, he complained but didn't dare to face Yanbei, and grabbed Sima Jiao next to him and muttered: "Did he lose or did I lose?" Open your eyes and tell nonsense...... Who hasn't lost. ”

Lu Yi's words led Jiao Touch, Zhao Yun and others beside him couldn't help laughing. The general is reassuring Cao Cao, but what Lu Yi said is also the truth, at least Yan Bei and his Lu Yi are living examples, since they started in Jizhou, they have fought dozens of battles and never lost a battle.

Yan Bei glanced at Lu Yi angrily, and reprimanded gently: "General Koji, the elder is seated, don't mess around." ”

This elder is talking about Lu Zhi.

"I think so, General Cao's 8,000 men and horses, 5,000 are transferred by Yan, Brother Wenjie." Yan Beidao didn't feel sorry for the soldiers and horses, but just wanted to appease Lu Yi, so he asked Han Fu: "The other three thousand, Brother Wenjie is drawn from the Jizhou soldiers, is it okay?" ”

"Drawn from the Jizhou soldiers? Ah, why not open your mouth. Han Fu really didn't expect Yanbei to find a way from the Jizhou soldiers before, but now looking at Lu Yi's appearance, he also understands what Yanbei thinks, so he said: "It's just that the Jizhou soldiers are all new pawns, General Cao...... Can? ”

Han Fu is not distressed at all, Jizhou is a unique place, with a large area and a large population, even after the three huge disasters of the Yellow Turban, Erzhang and Montenegro, there are still as many as three million people in the register. The recruitment of Jizhou Mansion has not stopped, and now there are still homeless people and hungry people who have nowhere to resettle, a little reorganization is a lot of soldiers and horses, long before the sour jujube alliance recruited the army led by Min Chun, and this month has raised thousands, now since Yanbei has opened its mouth, it doesn't matter if it is a favor in Shunshui, in the end, it is only a month to be able to recruit back.

Lu Yi sat there shaking his head, but he didn't make a sound, just complained to himself. Looking at the mouth shape, it seems that you want to question Han Fu, you are so generous, why don't you send out all the eight thousand people. It's just that Yanbei has already reprimanded him, so it's hard to say more.

Lu Yi is just disgusted, not an unreasonable bastard, he also understands that he can't say much on this occasion, after all, there are three outsiders Cao Cao and Han Fu and Lu Zhi present, and if he makes trouble again, it will be a shame for Yanbei, but ...... General Koji is so angry!

"Thank you, General, Han Envoy!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, and assured the two of them with some guilt: "Cao Cao will live up to the kindness of the two and will never let the soldiers kill in vain!" ”

"Well, Brother Mengde, please take a seat. In this way, the 5,000 soldiers and horses were 3,000 from the Hu cavalry department, and 1,000 each from Zhao and Jiao, and handed over to General Cao to lead. Yan Bei said that the matter was over, and he sat in the middle and said to everyone: "I have to wait for a rest in Liyang for a long time, the Kanto Qunhao is reluctant to go east, and Henan Yin is in the hands of Dong Zhuo, so we can only go west alone." ”

Speaking of the war, even the demon king-like Lu Yi of the mixed world had an awe-inspiring face...... Against the Liangzhou soldiers, it is the most powerful enemy of Yanbei and his generals so far, even if there is only one Xu Rong, it is like a tiger.

At present, Xu Rongtun is in charge of Xingyang, occupying most of Hanoi County, and there are 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, who dares to underestimate it?

"In this battle, Sun Qing, you and the king of the cliff Wuhuan are the front scouts; General Koji commanded 6,000, General Cao led 8,000, and Yan led 7,000 troops from the Lieutenant Department and the Second Division; Brother Wenjie arranged for the transportation of grain and grass, and Brother Xuande guarded the Liyang camp. This time, the people of the headquarters can be said to have poured out, and after Yan Bei decided on the matter, he asked everyone: "How do you think you should fight against Xu Rong in this battle, you can say it." ”

"Cough, Zhongqing......" Lu Zhi waited for a long time before he spoke on his side, and asked in a soft but unquestionable voice, "Where is the old man?" ”

Lao Shangshu didn't have the slightest consciousness as a mascot, so he asked Yanbei to fight! This can make it difficult for Yanbei to do, I want to say that I didn't arrange for Liu Beitun to guard Liyang, but I suddenly recalled that Lu Zhi couldn't afford to bow down that day and still had to ask for a fight, so he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to say apologetically: "Don't blame Mr. Zigan, it's negligence." Mr. Lao Fuzigan lives in the rear army with Brother Xuande, and he can give advice to the subordinates in addition to taking care of the grain and grass, okay? ”

Although there was still not much chance of participating in the war in the rear army, Lu Zhi didn't force anything anymore, and bowed his head slightly, which made Yanbei breathe a sigh of relief.

"If the general wants to knock on the door, he must first go down to the important town of Xingyang, if he goes south from the sour date, it is very difficult to cross the river to transport the baggage." Lu Yi clasped his fists, and when talking about the war, he didn't have the usual willfulness on his face, but said to Yanbei with a straight face: "Why should we be willing to seek the near and far, it is better to leave the heroes of the Kanto region, not cross the Yellow River from Hanoi County to the west to join forces with Wang Kuang, send a small group of soldiers and horses to cross the big river to burn the ferries along the Henan River, and go straight to Mengjindu to deter Luoyang!" ”

There are countless ways to attack Dong Zhuo, and Lu Yi fell in love with this most majestic one at a glance. Not to mention anything else, their 20,000 soldiers and horses marched west to the area of Mengjin and Pingjin, and they could lock up Heguan. Dong Zhuo sent large soldiers, but he was worried that the Kwantung princes would take it lightly, and if he sent a small number of soldiers...... As long as the enemy crosses the river and is discovered by them, where will they be their opponents?

"I originally thought the same thing, but if I want to hold the river pass, I still need to be stable in the east of the river. At present, the letter has been passed for more than a month, but the white wave thief has not moved, I am afraid that the plot will fail, I am worried that the white wave army is not a friend or foe, if I am equal to Hejin to wait for work, Bai Bo and Dong Zhuo will join forces, and attack my flank through Yuxia Mountain, it will make us fall into an isolated and helpless situation. Yan Bei slowly expressed his worries, pointed to the map and said: "And Henan Yin does not need to worry a lot, if we capture Xingyang and confront Dong Zhuo's army at the revolving gate pass, there is Hanoi Wang Kuang in the north, and Yuan Highway troops in Luyang in the south to harass the enemy's belly...... When Sun Wen Taipei's Taipei containment Dong Zhuo, he can break through the revolving gate and attack Luoyang directly! ”

Walking Hanoi County, although he held the north of Dong Zhuo, he also exposed his flank to the Bai Bo army west of Yuxia Mountain, which added to his worries. At present, when he enters Xingyang in the west, the only thing to worry about is Xu Rong's army. Even if Xu Rong showed a very high military standard in the battle with Cao Cao, Yanbei at least thought that he had the strength to fight, and the road to Hanoi in the north made him feel upset and unscored.

"If all the gentlemen have no objections, this is the end of today, go back to the various departments to prepare, and divide the army to cross the river west and enter Yangwu City to rest within five days." Yan Bei sat upright with his back, supported his knees and shouted in a low voice: "All the gentlemen and follow Yan, crusade against Dong Zhuo!" ”

"Crusade against Dong Zhuo!"
