In late August of the fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yangwu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Maogong sat behind the desk and looked at the map, the beads of sweat on his face kept flowing down, and the fan in his hand was shaking "hula hula", irritable.

After the coalition army burned the grain and grass in the old city and Wuchao, they suddenly withdrew from the battlefield on all fronts and stopped fighting, which made Xu Maogong anxious. The rebels' intentions are very clear, and now they are waiting for the Northern Frontier Army to retreat, wanting to get something for nothing.

Jia Xu drank a few sips of cold water, and said helplessly: "Duke Mao, retreat, it seems that if you don't withdraw from Guandu, it will be difficult to lure the rebels out." ”

"Retreat and deception are two different things." Sima Yi sat next to him, fanning Jia Xu while saying, "Yuan Shao's determination to fight a decisive battle is not great, he can win without a fight, of course, there is no need to fight with us." As for others, such as Liu Biao and Cao Cao, of course, they are even more reluctant to fight. The harder they fought, the greater their losses, and the more benefits Yuan Shao would get after the war, who would want to do such a stupid thing? ”

He frowned, approached Jia Xu, and asked in a low voice, "Are we falling for Xu You?" ”

"The question is not whether or not you are fooled, but how to lure the rebels out for a decisive battle." Jia Xu said with a smile, "What the rebels burned down was only two empty camps, and if we insisted on not retreating, the rebels knew that they had been tricked, but we didn't want to lose such a good opportunity to lure the enemy." Now that Xu Yu has returned, it will be difficult for us to find such an opportunity. ”

"Retreat to lure the enemy out?" Zhuge Liang sat opposite Xu Maogong and asked hesitantly.

"It's hard." Xu Maogong threw the pu fan on the desk, stretched out his hand and wiped the sweat on his face, "Yuan Shao's decision is clear, it is to delay, no matter how favorable the situation is to him, he is to delay, what can you do to him?" ”

"First let Zhang Fei withdraw the army, withdraw to the north bank of the Jishui River, strengthen the defense of Fengqiu, Wuchao, Suzao, and Yanjin, and make a gesture that the army is about to retreat." Xu Maogong pointed at Zhuge Liang and motioned him to immediately write an order, "Feige passed the letter to Guan Yu and Zhang Yan, withdrew from the north bank of the chasm water, gradually moved closer to the Jishui River, and prepared to retreat to Yuanwu and Yangwu." ”

"Tell the lord that if three days later, Yuan Shao has not yet commanded the army to launch a decisive battle, then don't expect him to make any moves in the near future, we can only count on a quick breakthrough in the Guanzhong and Xuzhou battlefields in order to change the situation on the Central Plains battlefield."

After Xu Maogong finished speaking, he stood up and walked two steps slowly, and said to the three of them: "Look, do you send a cavalry to cross the Pushui River and immediately rush to the area of Dongdui and Jiyang to stand by?" ”

"Since Mao Gong wants to make a breakthrough from the battlefield on both flanks, it is indeed necessary for us to take countermeasures in advance." Jia Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry about the Guanzhong battlefield, I believe that Pengju will make troop adjustments in time." The troops on the battlefield in Xuzhou should be enough after Zang Ba solved Chen Deng. At that time, Chen Gong and Wu Dun of Yanzhou Rencheng led their troops south to Pengcheng and Xiapi, and Zang Ba and Li Feng of Qingzhou directly killed Langya and Donghai, and the war should be very smooth, but the only thing that makes people feel uneasy is the defense of the southern counties of Yanzhou. After Chen Gong and Wu Dun go south, we should send a cavalry over. ”

"Then let Mrs. Li E, Lu Bu, Lu Wenlong, and Yuwen Chengdu lead the army across the Pushui River and rush to the area of Dongdui and Jiyang." Xu Maogong waved his hand and said, "If Yuan Shao wants to storm Fengqiu and cut off our retreat, we will let them frequently attack the front line of Junyi and Chenliu to threaten the rear of the rebels." If Yuan Shao wants to fight a decisive battle, we will let them rush into the line of Junyi, Zhongmu, Chenliu and Kaifeng after the rebels have crossed the line of Suozao and Yanjin on all fronts, and cut off the enemy's retreat route to the south. If we and Yuan Shao have been in a stalemate and want to make a breakthrough from the battlefield on both flanks, then after Chen Gong and Zang Ba attack Xuzhou on both sides, let them rush to the Xuzhou battlefield to support. ”

"Okay, this deployment is foolproof." Jia Xu said with a smile, "After sending Madame Li E's cavalry to Yanzhou, we will have ample means to deal with all kinds of mutations on the battlefield. ”

"Give the order." Xu Maogong waved his hand and said, "Let Mrs. Li E not delay and leave immediately." ”

Qingzhou Plains County, Gaotang City.

Chen Deng took the wine lord and sat behind the desk, looking at the guards who rushed into the lobby with an indifferent face.

Zang Ba stood at the top of the lobby and stared murderously at the disarmed generals of the Xuzhou Army on the left seat.

Several guards with spears and crossbows were aimed at Chen Deng, and two other guards came over with a bundle of ropes, intending to tie him up.

"Slow, slow ......" Zang Hong and You Heng appeared in the lobby at the right time, and when they saw that a guard wanted to tie up Chen Deng, Zang Hong hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, "You all retreat, it's okay here." ”

Zang Ba waved at the guards, signaling them to escort a few generals of the Xuzhou Army to retreat immediately. The lobby fell silent.

"Yuanlong, don't come unharmed." You Heng threw his hand at Chen Deng again and again, and rolled back with a smile, "I didn't expect that such a smart person as you would also give people a day of calculation, haha......"

Chen Deng is about thirty years old, white and clean, elegant temperament, a pair of eyes are very godly, at this moment he has a mocking look on his face, and sneered: "Brother Zhengping, you did this thing?" ”

"yes." You Heng instinctively wanted to show off and humiliate Chen Deng, and suddenly thought that if he wanted to work with this kid in the future, he would inevitably be jealous of this kid's personal vendetta, so he immediately changed his words, and Zang Hong, who was standing aside with his fingers and laughing, said, "This is all Brother Ziyuan's idea, Xuan Gao and I are just acting on orders, acting on orders, hehe......"

"Hmph...... Looking at your thief-eyed look, you can't convince Xuan Gao, let alone come up with such a clever strategy. Chen Deng raised his head and drank the wine, and sneered coldly.

"That's, that's ......" You Heng hurriedly took two steps, picked up the long spoon in the wine bottle, and carefully gave Chen Deng a full name, "Yuanlong, it's not easy for us to trick you to the edge of the Yellow River." ”

Chen Deng ignored him, looked at Zang Hong coldly and asked, "Brother Ziyuan, what are you going to do with my men?" ”

"All you need is a word." Zang Hong smiled, "Of course, don't be in a hurry to say this. No matter how we force you now, you won't say anything, and after the Central Plains War is over, you can make a decision. ”

"Li Yi is holding the king hostage, he has no ministers, he is brutal and bloody, how can you help the people to abuse and destroy the society?" Chen Deng suddenly slapped the case and shouted.

Zang Hong said lightly: "What is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? You say that my lord is holding the king hostage, but who has seen it? Did you see that? How come I, a person who has been an official in northern Xinjiang for many years, and even worshipped and seen the Son of Heaven, don't know? ”

Chen Deng raised his head and did not speak.

Zang Hong said coldly: "If you want to say that you have no ministers, you are even worse than my lord. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, don't think that you can hide it from the world, hum. ”

"Don't talk about these things, don't talk about them...... You Heng laughed, "Yuanlong, we haven't seen each other for many years, let's drink and chat." Ha ha...... I'm so happy to be able to catch you, relieved, happy. ”

………………

Jizhou, Handan.

On the eve of dawn, Liu Jing, the eldest princess of ten thousand years, led 10,000 Xianbei cavalry to the Handan camp first.

Li Yi led the officials, and Bao Zheng, the assassin of Jizhou, led the officials of Jizhou to meet him.

The eldest princess Liu Jing, surrounded by a group of generals from northern Xinjiang, hurried to the ministers and said coquettishly: "Everyone, Aiqing, hurry up and be exempt." It's going to be dawn, so don't crowd at the gate of the camp, let's go to the camp and talk. ”

Li Yi stood up and looked up at Liu Jing, a fair and slightly tired face met his eyes, and against the backdrop of the bright silver armor covered with dust, this face looked extraordinarily beautiful and heroic.

Liu Jing smiled at him, her eyes revealing all kinds of tenderness.

Although they are husband and wife, Liu Jing's identity at this moment is not ordinary after all, and now it is a public place, Li Yi is not good at acting too much, even if he has a thousand words in his heart, he can only hold it in his heart temporarily, stretch out his hand and ask: "Your Highness, you are too tired to run around and march for days, so let's think about it." ”

"You still know to care about me?" Liu Jing glanced at him, her expression was arrogant, and she suddenly showed all kinds of style.

Li Yi smiled helplessly, this girl didn't take her identity as the eldest princess to heart at all.

………………

After Liu Jing rested for a few hours, he immediately convened the ministers at noon in Xingyuan.

Xu Shu told Liu Jing about the military situation of the Central Plains battlefield and other battlefields during this time, and finally said: "At present, in the direction of Hedong, General Yue Fei is fighting with Yuan Tan and Zhang Ji. Zang Ba of Qingzhou had already eliminated Chen Deng's Xuzhou army in Gaotang City, and now he was leading his army south to Beihai, preparing to attack Xuzhou again after the decisive battle in the Central Plains. ”

"On the battlefield of the Central Plains, Mrs. Li E and Gao Shun have already led the infantry cavalry army to evacuate the front line of Chenliu and Yongqiu, and are now blocking the enemy in the area of Fengqiu and Wuchao on both sides of the Jishui River. Sima Ju of Hanoi had already led his army to withdraw to Chaoge and was blocking the enemy in the areas of Lugushan Mountain, Muye, and Qishui River. On the battlefield of Guandu, after Yuan Shao burned down our grain and grass camps in Gushi and Wuchao, he ceased fighting again, and still had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with us, so Mr. Mao Gong planned to withdraw to the area of Yuanwu and Yangwu City on the north bank of the Jishui River to see if he could lure Yuan Shao out. ”

Liu Jingdai frowned slightly, turned her head to look at Li Yi who was sitting on her left, and asked softly: "Husband, so to speak, the Central Plains battlefield still has not formed a decisive battle?" ”

"The momentum of the decisive battle has already been formed, but the decisive battle between the two sides has not yet been launched because Yuan Shao has decided to delay." Li Yi said worriedly, "Now His Highness has led the desert Hu to ride south, and after a long time, this news is bound to be exposed." It was too difficult to hide 70,000 cavalry on the north bank of the Yellow River. Once Yuan Shao gets the news, he will not take the initiative to fight. (To be continued.) )
