342.Chapter 342
Walking on the road, Li Ru's spirit has been a little trance. It was only then that he understood Jia Xu's overall plan.
first made Li Dao and Fan Chou feel a gap, and then waited for the opportunity to provoke the two of them to turn against each other. In this case, the whole Guanzhong will be completely chaotic.
Rao is like this, Jia Xu still does not give up.
On the one hand, he wrote a book to Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, promised great benefits, stabilized the two of them, and did not let them escape with their troops when they were at a disadvantage, but took the Son of Heaven to defect to Bingzhou.
On the other hand, Jia Xu sent someone to quietly report to Li Dao and Guo Yan, and offered a plan to set up an ambush halfway.
Even the location of the ambush is very exquisite.
There, neither will it be too easy for Li Dao and Guo Yan to win; It can also ensure that the forces of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji can be damaged.
As a result, the Bingzhou army did not move a single soldier, which caused the strength of the Guanzhong Xiliang army to drop by more than half.
This is not over, Jia Xu deliberately recommended Lu Bu and let him act as a pioneer. And handed over 5,000 Hun cavalry, as well as 2,000 Xiliang cavalry, to him to command.
These people are all unruly and murderous. Coupled with Lu Bu, who had already held back his anger, he would definitely kill the Xiliang Army in a river of blood.
These people are not descendants of the state, even if there is some damage, they will only save some food, and will not affect the strength of the state.
It can be said that Jia Xu's plans are linked one by one, and when everyone knows it, he has already laid out this big game of chess.
I have to say that if he didn't have a meticulous grasp of people's hearts, Jia Xu would never have been able to carry out such a poisonous plan.
"Wenhe's strategy, I'm not as good as it!"
sighed, Li Ru felt a little excited.
"It's a pity that if a different general leads the troops, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji may still live. Lu Bu is the vanguard, and these two people are not spared. ”
Fenglingdu, Gan Ning heard that the unconscious young man was the son of heaven, and he was immediately shocked. He hurriedly stepped forward in person and began to rescue Liu Xie.
Gan Ning, as the leader of the Jinfan thieves who has been mixed in the water for a long time, naturally has some experience in the treatment of drowning people.
It didn't take long for Liu Xie to wake up after being tossed by Gan Ning.
Zhang Xiu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the minister failed to protect you, and the crime deserves death." ”
Liu Xie had just opened his eyes, still a little confused. When he heard Zhang Xiu's words, he subconsciously asked, "Where is this?" ”
Gan Ning looked at this young man with a somewhat pale face, and there was a great majesty and a nobility that could not be concealed between his eyebrows.
He asked cautiously: "The last general is the captain of Hengjiang under Chen Bingzhou's account, I don't know if Your Excellency is the son of heaven?" ”
Liu Xie did not answer immediately, but set his eyes on Zhang Xiu's body.
Zhang Xiu nodded at Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, this person is indeed the captain of Chen Bingzhou's account, and we have arranged for the pursuit of Guo Yan's traitors. ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he was both happy and a little worried.
Fortunately, over the years, he also has some city governments, so he said to Gan Ning: "The general has a meritorious service in saving the driver, and I specially named you the general of Hengjiang." ”
Although Liu Xie did not answer Gan Ning's words, what he said in his mouth showed his identity.
Seeing this, Gan Ning didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted and thanked him. The rest of the soldiers also followed Gan Ning to salute Liu Xie.
There was a very tacit understanding, Zhang Xiu, Liu Xie, and the more than 50 sailors did not mention the unpleasant things in the Fang Cai River.
"General Gan, in order to resist Guo Yan's army, my uncle only led a few hundred people, and broke off the queen for me and His Majesty. Please also ask the general to transfer troops and horses to help Zhang Xiu rescue his uncle! ”
After speaking, Zhang Xiu knelt directly beside Gan Ning.
In fact, kneeling was not popular in the Han Dynasty. Their kneeling is nothing more than a form of etiquette.
Even though Zhang Xiu knew that Zhang Ji might be dead now, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to ask Gan Ning to send troops to rescue.
Gan Ning had also heard of Zhang Xiu's reputation, and saw that he cared so much about his uncle, so he immediately stepped forward to help Zhang Xiu up.
"There are only a few hundred cavalry under his command, how can he rescue General Zhang Ji?"
When Zhang Xiu heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Gan Ning hurriedly comforted: "However, Wenhou Lu Bu is leading seven thousand cavalry to camp on the south bank of the Yellow River. I will write a letter and send it to Wenhou, asking him to send troops to rescue General Zhang Ji. ”
No matter how much he looks down on Lu Bu in his heart, Gan Ning will still retain a trace of respect for Lu Bu in front of outsiders.
After all, the two belong to the same state camp, and if outsiders think that they are not compatible, they will lose Chen Xu's face.
Therefore, when he mentioned Lu Bu, he did not call him by his name, but added the word 'Wenhou' in front of him to show respect.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, inside the camp, Lu Bu looked at the letter sent by Gan Ning, and his face was extremely gloomy.
Angrily tearing the letter to shreds, Lu Bu shouted loudly: "But I didn't want Gan Ning's family to be so lucky, and he actually took the lead in taking the Son of Heaven." It's hateful, hateful! ”
Lu Bu originally thought that the great credit of him acting as a pioneer this time and welcoming back the Son of Heaven would definitely fall on his head.
He didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would be able to escape to the north bank of the Yellow River with the Son of Heaven.
With a gloomy face, Lu Bu sneered twice: "Zhang Ji has already been shown to the public, now let me go to the rescue, is it too late?" ”
Wei Xu, who was on the side, hurriedly admonished: "Lord, if Guo Yan loses the Son of Heaven, there will be chaos in every way." Besides, Zhang Ji is dead, and we have no worries. ”
"In that case, why don't we raise a large army and raid Guo Yan. As long as Guo Yan is eliminated, Li Dao will be unable to support himself, and sooner or later he will be captured by the lord! ”
"At that time, even if Gan Ning received the puppet son of heaven, how can his credit be compared to the Lord's fair determination?"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was overjoyed.
"Gather the three armies and kill Guo Yan!"
Faced with the stimulation of Gan Ning to take the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu did not hesitate at all, and gathered a large army to kill the Xiliang army that ran to Guo Yan.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, Guo Yan sent people to search for a long time, but they did not find a single ship. He was both fearful and irritable.
"Why are you still stunned? All go to logging and shipbuilding, and the Son of Heaven must not be allowed to escape! ”
In the face of the furious Guo Yan, no one dared to speak out. The Xiliang soldiers dispersed in a hurry, and all went to the nearby mountains and forests to cut down trees.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and the Xiliang soldier asked suspiciously: "Now that the sun is shining, how can there be thunder?" ”
Another person also said, "No, why is the earth shaking, is it an earthquake?" ”
"Oh my God, the cavalry, a large number of cavalry are rushing over!"
Some of the soldiers saw the rushing cavalry and immediately shouted in panic.
At this time, Guo Yan also saw the cavalry rushing over, and his face changed.
"The whole army is assembled, ready to fight!"
"The whole army is assembled, ready to fight!"
Guo Yan shouted hoarsely, but the soldiers of Xiliang were scattered in various places, and it was impossible to gather together quickly.
When they saw the sudden arrival of the cavalry, they immediately became panicked and fled in all directions.
"Damn, I forgot to send scouts around."
Guo Yan cursed secretly in his heart, with a deep look of chagrin on his face.
The escape of the Son of Heaven made Guo Yan chaotic. Otherwise, as a battlefield veteran, he would not have made such a low-level mistake.
Although the strength of the Xiliang Army was seriously damaged, it also had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If the scouts had been able to detect the enemy earlier, they would not have been so passive.
"Kill!"
Looking at the panicked Xiliang Army, Lu Bu showed a cruel look on his face. He shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him also shouted in response.
"Kill!"
The deafening shouts of killing completely broke the defense line in the hearts of the Xiliang army.
When the Son of Heaven fled, not only Guo Yan felt afraid, but even these Xiliang soldiers were also worried in their hearts.
In addition, they first fought endlessly with Fan Chou and Zhang Ji in Chang'an City, and then pursued them until they came to the banks of the Yellow River.
Such a team that has traveled thousands of miles and fought endlessly has long become a tired army. What's more, there is a serious shortage of food in Guanzhong, and their food is also extremely poor.
Facing seven thousand well-recharged cavalry, plus Lu Bu who was like a wolf and a tiger. Under the sudden attack, these Xiliang troops had no intention of fighting at all and fled in all directions.
Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and fought on the battlefield.
Looking at Guo Yan, who had already begun to escape, Lu Bu asked Wei Xu, Cheng Lian and others to divide their troops to pursue. He himself led hundreds of cavalry and chased directly after Guo Yan.
"General, Lu Bu's guy is about to catch up."
The soldiers and horses under Guo Yan's command were already sleepy and lacking horses, and the war horses under their crotches couldn't outrun Lu Bu and the others at all.
Guo Yan showed a look of fear on his face, he knew that if he continued to run away like this, he would be caught up by Lu Bu sooner or later.
After struggling inwardly, Guo Yan suddenly shouted: "The whole army stops!" ”
Those soldiers who fled with Guo Yan, when they heard the words of the commander, although they were puzzled, they didn't dare to ask more, they all restrained their horses.
When Lu Bu saw Guo Yan in front of him, he suddenly stopped, thinking that he was going to turn back and fight to the death. He was secretly vigilant in his heart, and slowed down the speed of the war horse's running.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, Wenhou is okay?"
Guo Yan's inexplicable words made Lu Bu feel extremely strange in his heart.
"Guo Aduo, what are you trying to do?"
When Guo Yan heard Lu Bu call him 'Guo Aduo', his face suddenly sank. Although Guo Yan used to be a horse thief, nicknamed 'Ado'. However, since he came to power, no one has dared to call him that way for a long time.
Fortunately, he also saw the situation in front of him clearly, so he held back his anger and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, I used to serve under the Taishi's account, why do you need to kill them all?" ”
Lu Bu raised the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, pointed at Guo Yan from afar, and scolded: "Anti-country and traitorous thieves, everyone will be punished, don't say more!" ”
After finishing speaking, Lu Bu lightly kicked the horse's belly, directly brandished Fang Tian's halberd, and killed Guo Yan.
Seeing this, Guo Yan was immediately furious: "The thief deceives people too much!" ”
Then, he also brandished the big knife in his hand and killed Lu Bu.
"Bell!"
The two weapons intersected, and Guo Yan remembered that he had been defeated by Lu Bu before, and his heart suddenly showed timidity.
After a round, Guo Yan fled. But he didn't want to, Lu Buma was fast, rushed up, and stabbed Guo Yan to death with a halberd.
