Chapter 0638 - Plan Begins
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 road, and Yuan Shao will definitely succeed in occupying the Central Plains and Jingzhou, and form a strong momentum with Li Yi 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 that the "Yuan family generation of Han" spread all over the world, forcing Cao Cao and others to rebuild the imperial system in a hurry.
Then he took advantage of the opportunity to go north to defeat Li Yi and inflicted heavy losses on Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others, and took the opportunity to occupy the Central Plains and Jingzhou, rapidly expanding his strength.
At the same time, Li Yi in Hebei was also hit hard by the joint attack of the princes, 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 Yi and pacify the world in the future, then the "Yuan Dynasty" that has already spread all over the world will become a fact.
It was a seemingly flawless ploy 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 hegemony, what he wants is the world of the Yuan family, he is no longer the Yuan Shao he used to be.
"If General Zhang thinks that he is not capable of defeating the Northern Frontier Army, then I advise General Zhang, you immediately ask the lord to resign, and let someone who has the ability to defeat the Northern Frontier Army replace you." Seeing that Zhang Yang was silent, Xu You said unceremoniously, "Although you explained to the lord the reason why you met with Lu Bu privately, this is not a reason for you to disobey the lord's military order and refuse to attack the Northern Frontier Army. β
Zhang Yang looked at him coldly.
"If you insist on disobeying military orders, then I will no longer care about it." Xu Yu stood up violently and said loudly, "I suspect that you have betrayed your lord and rebelled in adultery. β
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.
"Xu Ziyuan, this is a critical moment in the Hebei War, and you need to work together, how can you be suspicious?" Dong Zhao asked angrily.
Xu You turned his face to look at him, and smiled contemptuously: "Up and down? You accompanied Zhang Yang to meet Lu Bu privately, do you think I don't know? You can't escape the suspicion of fornication and rebellion. β
Dong Zhao was furious, and just wanted to refute it, but Yang Chou, who was beside him, hurriedly stood up and grabbed him, and said, "Mr. Xu is just suspicious, why should Gongren be angry?" β
Then he arched his hand at Zhang Yang and said, "General, since the captain has a military order, then let's follow the military order and attack Neihuang." β
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, but the Hanoi Army did not move, which is indeed unjustifiable and has no reason. Unless Zhang Yang is really as Xu You said, he has secretly taken refuge in Hebei. Now as long as Zhang Yang leads the army to attack, he can shatter Xu Yu's groundless speculation.
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "Please Han Hao rush to the camp immediately." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Late at night, Dong Zhao was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Mr. Dong......" Zhao Hu rushed into the military tent, pulled Dong Zhao up, and said anxiously, "Xu You wants to kill you, run away." β
Dong Zhao was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he didn't feel sleepy, and asked suspiciously, "How do you know?" What power does Xu You have to kill me? β
"Xu You has a holy decree on his body, as well as a warrant from the captain." Zhao Hu said eagerly, "Just now, Yang Chou called several of our captains to his military tent, and Xu You showed us the holy decree. The Taiwei wants to kill you, and he wants to escort General Zhang to Luoyang. General Han Hao replaced General Zhang as the Taishou of Hanoi, and Yang Chou was begged to be captured by General Zhonglang and led our 20,000 troops. β
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? β
"I'm here to get you." Zhao Hu smiled bitterly, "General Zhang and you met with Lu Bu in private that day, it must be that Yang Chou 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, "You put on your armor, sandwich yourself between the guards, and rush out of the camp with me." β
Dong Zhao patted him gratefully on the shoulder, shook his head, and said, "I can't escape." As soon as I escaped, the general's charge of fornication and rebellion will be confirmed, and Yuan Shao will definitely kill him. β
"Mr. Dong, it is Xiang Rong who is anxious to arrest Zhang." Zhao Hu said, "Xiang Rong and I are both from Northern Xinjiang, and it was General 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. β
Dong Zhao was overjoyed and said, "Then let's go quickly." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The military Sima on duty at the gate saw Zhang Yang and hurriedly 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 the night, with a faint sadness and nostalgia on his face.
Suddenly, the war drums in the camp beat, and the sound of the drums of "dong dong ......" tore apart the silence of the night in an instant, and then the galloping sound of war horses and the roars of 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." Xiang Rong roared, and the war knife roared out of its sheath, "Violators, slash!" β
The guards on duty were panicked and uneasy, and they all looked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "Open the door ......"
Zhao Hu rushed to Yuanmen 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. Xu You wiped the sweat on his head and said breathlessly: "This Zhang Yang runs faster than a rabbit." β
Yang Chou listened to the sound of horses' hooves gradually disappearing in the darkness, and said regretfully: "Mr. Xu, let Zhang Yang go, and the captain's strategy to break the enemy will be revealed, how can this battle be fought?" β
Weakly smiled slightly, and said, "General Yang has made a lot of credit this time." β
Yang Chou glanced at him in horror, and arched his hand and said: "The last general is ineffective in handling things, and let Zhang Yang escape, the crime is unforgivable." Please also Mr. Xu ......"
"What is General Yang's crime?" Xu You smiled and comforted, "It's my arrangement to let Zhao Hu and Xiang Rong arrest people, and it has nothing to do with you." β
Yang Chou thanked him again and again, but he was very puzzled in his heart, could it be that Xu You deliberately let Zhang Yang go? He decided to immediately report the matter to Yuan Shao, so as not to be implicated.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In early June, the general Li Yi received an urgent report from LΓΌ Bu: Yuan Shao suspected him of fornication and rebellion because Zhang Yang and LΓΌ Bu met, and wanted to kill Zhang Yang, forcing Zhang Yang to flee to Hebei.
After Li Yi learned the news, he felt that this seemed to be a lack of reason. Then he thought that Yuan Shu sent an envoy to Hebei to join forces with him to attack and kill the rebels, which made Li Yi 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?
Not only to damage the strength of the Hebei and Yuan brothers, but also to preserve and develop the strength, Cao Cao and his three alliances have an amazing strategy?
Li Yi shook his head and asked Xu Shu, "Has Liu Biao and Ma Teng's army arrived at the middle battlefield?" β
"We didn't hear from it." Xu Shu 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." β
"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." β
Li Yi looked up at the rest of the strategists and asked, "What about your opinions?" β
"Let's retreat to the line of Neihuang, Fanyang, and Yin'an first." Xu Maogong said with a smile, "We always have to save some face for Yuan Shao, if he is in a hurry, he will bite." β
The rest of the crowd chimed in, believing it was time to retreat.
Li Yi laughed and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's take action for a long time." Summoned Yide and Fengxian, and immediately retreated. Tell Yun Chang, don't fight hard, if you can't do it, you will return to Ganling City. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In mid-June, the Northern Xinjiang Army on the battlefield on the West Road retreated on all fronts, and Yuan Shao immediately led his army to advance, and the two sides continued to fight.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the end of the Qin Ting military meeting, Ma Teng led 10,000 iron horsemen 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 Cao Jun, Liu Biaojun, Liu Beijun, and Ma Teng's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, totaling more than 200,000 people, to attack the front line of Fagan and Leping.
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, Gongsun Zhan 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 Yi hurriedly dispatched the two brothers Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin to lead 10,000 iron cavalry to block it, and at the same time ordered Gao Changgong and Gao Shun on the East Road battlefield to quickly lead troops to support.
In late June, Li Yi moved the general to Ganling City, 80 miles away from the battlefield of Dahe.
After arriving at Ganling City, Li Yi summoned more than a dozen generals including Guan Yu, Zhang He, Gao Changgong, and Gao Shun of the East Road Army to rush to Xingyuan to participate in the military meeting. (To be continued.) )
