247 Counselor Promised
Duan Xuan's army was all stationed in the camp on the left, and Mi Fang and others each occupied half of the camp, one on the left and one on the right.
At this moment, the night was already deep, and in Duan Xuan's tent, more than 20 generals gathered, all of whom were Duan Xuan's confidants and favorite generals, all of them wearing armor and weapons, standing quietly in the tent, and their eyes were even more dazzling, and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Duan Xuan in the middle, just waiting for Duan Xuan's order.
Duan Xuan was fully armed, wearing a certain cooked copper helmet, under the helmet was a gloomy face, the brows on his face were wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and his eyes were even more gloomy.
He looked around at the generals present, squirmed his lower lips, and said coldly: "Li Dao and Guo Yan have all been killed, the trees are scattered, and on the land of Guanzhong, now only our soldiers and horses are left." Jihua is already halfway through, and now it's time to do the other half of Jihua, so you guys go and get ready, and you're ready to follow my orders! ”
"Whoa!" Many generals responded in unison, turned around and left one after another.
In fact, this time the killing of Li Ji and Guo Yan was all planned by Duan Xuan, after the Son of Heaven Liu Xie moved east to Pengcheng, Zhang Ji was defeated by Li Ji and Guo Yan, Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu took over some of Zhang Ji's subordinates, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou in Nantou was appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang and stationed in Wancheng.
In this way, there are only three soldiers and horses left in Guanzhong: Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Duan Xuan. Li Dao and Guo Yan are both strong soldiers and horses, and Duan Xuan only has 8,000 people, which is not enough to compete with him, but because he is stationed in Huayin, he himself is also vacillating between Li Dao and Guo Yan, left and right, and everything is dominated by Li Dao and Guo Yan. So I didn't get implicated. Moreover, when he defeated Zhang Jishi. Duan Xuan also made a contribution.
Li Dao and Guo Yan are reconciled, Duan Xuan is relatively independent, and Guanzhong shows a three-legged trend, but the strength of Li Dao and Guo Yan is far beyond Duan Xuan's reach, and Duan Xuan will be oppressed by Li Dao and Guo Yan on the surface, and over time. and a rebellious heart was born.
It happened that Li Wei and Guo Yan turned against each other again because of the food problem, and asked Duan Xuan to send troops to help, Duan Xuan still adopted the strategy of leaving and right, and at the same time came up with a plan to kill people with a knife, sent people to surrender to Zhang Yan, and prayed for the army to come to Guanzhong to kill Li Wei and Guo Yan.
Of course, the plan to kill people with a knife is only the first step Jihua, and the second step is to fight against Zhang Yan's army and become the king of Guanzhong himself. Duan Xuan always believed. With his ability and talent, it is not a problem to gain a foothold in Guanzhong. And he has a good relationship with Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou, especially Han Sui, who was a secretary under his account that year, and the relationship between the two was very good.
As for Zhang Yan's army, he is not afraid, the Guanzhong Pass is dangerous, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are even easier to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the pass is guarded, no matter how many Zhang Yan's troops are, there is no way to cross it.
Originally, this second step was not Duan Xuan's original intention, his original intention was to surrender Zhang Yan, disobey his yang and yin, and continue to be his free king in Guanzhong. However, when he saw that Mi Fang brought only 5,000 soldiers and horses, he changed his mind and prepared to steal Guanzhong, drive Mi Fang and others out of Guanzhong, and claim the king himself.
To this end, he specially formulated a jihua tonight, first sent someone to invite Mi Fang, and then controlled Mi Fang, coerced Mi Fang's army, forced it to submit, if he didn't listen, with his 8,000 troops, he could also successfully drive Mi Fang's army out.
Jihua has already been decided, and Duan Xuan has already sent someone to the right camp to invite Mi Fang, under the pretext of celebrating.
Li Dao, Guo Yan were ambushed, and Mi Fang had not launched a celebration banquet so far, so he gave Duan Xuan a good opportunity.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Mi Fang had just sent Yuan Jian and Kan Ze away, and he ushered in Duan Xuan's personal soldiers, saying that Duan Xuan had set up a wine banquet and wanted to entertain Mi Fang.
Mi Fang happily took a few personal soldiers to Duan Xuan's camp, Duan Xuan greeted him with a smile, and accompanied Mi Fang into the camp tent, who knew that Mi Fang had just entered the camp tent here, and Duan Xuan did it over there, and a group of people rushed up and tied up Mi Fang and others.
"General Duan, what do you mean by that?" Mi Fang was taken aback, he never expected that Duan Xuan would do such a thing, at this moment, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he was full of chagrin, regretting that he did not listen to the persuasion of Yuan Jian and Kan Ze, but ended up like this.
Duan Xuan finally showed a sinister face and sneered: "General Mi, I don't mean anything, I just wronged you temporarily." ”
Mi Fang was still about to speak, but he didn't want to be gagged, Duan Xuan gave an order, and he was quickly escorted away, not giving him a chance to speak.
At this time, Duan Xuan summoned his own soldiers and immediately gave orders to his subordinates: "Attack!" ”
The soldiers nodded and went to give orders, and a quarter of an hour later, Duan Xuan's troops suddenly attacked Mi Fang's right battalion.
The soldiers led by Mi Fang were suddenly attacked, and they did not appear to be in any panic, and the officers at all levels commanded and gathered soldiers to resist, relying on the barracks and forming a formation to defend themselves.
Duan Xuan's troops attacked several times in a row, but they couldn't break through the outer defenses, and at this time, Mi Fang's army was all mobilized, but Mi Fang couldn't be found.
It wasn't until later that I learned that Mi Fang was invited away by Duan Xuan and has not returned. Staff officers Yuan Jian and Kan Ze immediately made a decision, and in accordance with military law, let the staff general Xu Ding command the whole army.
Xu Dingnai is the elder brother of the Tiger General Xu Chu, and now he has been selected to serve as a staff member in the guard's army. Xu Ding learned that Mi Fang was invited away by Duan Xuan, and estimated that there was more luck and less luck, so he immediately took over the whole army, and after some discussion with Yuan Jian and Kan Ze, he began to give orders.
Although the guards are not superior in numbers compared with Duan Xuan's army, they have strong combat effectiveness, and they are all elite soldiers who are one in a hundred, and the army has just undergone reforms, so it will not mess up because of the absence of the main general Mi Fang.
After some deliberation, Xu Ding immediately ordered to take each battalion as a unit, take the initiative to attack, kill the camp, and confront Duan Xuan's army head-on.
In addition, Xu Ding sent another cavalry battalion to detour back to the camp of Duan Xuan's army, break into the camp, and rescue Mi Fang, whether dead or alive. You have to have a good faith. If alive. Just bring the person back, if you die, bring the body back, and it must not fall into Duan Xuan's hands.
There were ten battalions in the whole division, and Xu Ding personally commanded it, and took the initiative to attack with seven battalions of troops, confronting Duan Xuan's army head-on, and using a cavalry battalion to raid Duan Xuan's army's camp. There was a battalion by his side to guard Yuan Jian and Kan Ze, and he himself took a cavalry battalion, which made a detour from the other side, preparing to attack the back of Duan Xuan's army.
After the operation was formulated, it was immediately conveyed, and the battalions immediately started fighting, gave up defense, directly opened the gate of the camp, and rushed towards the rushing Duan Xuan army. A bloody battle ensued.
Duan Xuan stood on a high hill and rode a tall horse. Stopping and staring at the entire battlefield, he was originally ambitious, thinking that he had a lot of people, and Mi Fang was in his hands, and he was facing a sudden attack, and the enemy army was leaderless, which would inevitably cause chaos.
What Duan Xuan didn't expect was that instead of being chaotic, the enemy army actively took the defensive, and the rapidly assembled army quickly formed a defensive front to resist his army's attack in the camp. Not only that, but the enemy's combat effectiveness was very strong, his men charged several times in a row, and they were all defeated, and the entrance of the camp was full of corpses, while the enemy suffered very few casualties.
"Fuck! I really didn't expect that the enemy's combat effectiveness was so strong, and it was a mistake! Duan Xuan couldn't help but regret a little, regretting that he had done it too early.
But now, it's too late for him to regret it, since he has done it, let's do it to the end.
Just as Duan Xuan was about to let people escort Mi Fang up, and was about to use Mi Fang to threaten him, bursts of shouts suddenly came from the enemy's camp, and the enemy gave up the defense and took the initiative to attack, and thousands of soldiers wearing Xuan armor all rushed over.
"Kill!" Duan Xuan was also ready to give it a go, and there was still some luck, thinking that the defeat just now was the result of the enemy retreating in the camp, and at this time he saw that the enemy army had all rushed out, so he gave an order and drove the troops to kill him.
The two armies rushed towards each other, and both armies let out a deafening shout, looking evenly matched, but once they clashed, the situation of superiority and disadvantage was immediately presented, Duan Xuan's army was rushed by the enemy, and many people were killed when they landed, but the enemy army was fierce, waving the blade in his hand, and the Duan Xuan army killed was like chopping melons and vegetables, and there was no suspense at all.
After Duan Xuan saw this, his brows furrowed even tighter, he saw the enemy army rampaging in his army, but five people were able to block it, the fierce enemy soldiers were like heavenly soldiers, all of them blocked ten with one, and the Duan Xuan army who killed was full of urine.
The battle only lasted for a moment, and because Duan Xuan's army could not resist the fierce attack of the enemy, he immediately scattered, did not advance but retreated, scattered and fled, and fled for his life.
Seeing this, Duan Xuan chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt that his approach was tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, but instead of pulling out the teeth, he was bitten by the tiger, and the eight thousand soldiers he relied on for his survival were simply vulnerable in front of this group of fierce legions.
The general trend has gone, Duan Xuan did not do a fearless struggle, immediately turned the horse's head, and fled westward with the two hundred cavalry accompanying him. He offended Zhang Yan, and he lost Liliang who was fighting against him, and if he didn't escape, he would die, and now he had to flee back to Wuwei's hometown in order to make a comeback.
However, Duan Xuan didn't take a few steps, and a group of cavalry behind him suddenly came out of the darkness, the first person, and the general Xu Ding, Xu Ding crossed his eyebrows and faced angrily, holding a back knife, with a gloomy face, and rushed over directly.
Duan Xuan stiffened, raised the spear in his hand, and rushed directly towards Xu Ding.
The two horses intersected, only to see a flash of cold light, Xu Ding's hand raised the knife and fell, a fresh human head fell from the horse's back, Duan Xuan immediately became a headless corpse and fell from the horse.
At the same time, the cavalry behind Xu Ding also rushed to kill, killing all of Duan Xuan's personal cavalry.
The whole battle lasted only half an hour, and it ended with a great defeat for Duan Xuan, who was even more disadvantaged, and his subordinates surrendered one after another, never daring to contend with him again.
At this time, Mi Fang was rescued from the camp, and after seeing Yuan Lian, Kan Ze, Xu Ding and others, as the main general, he felt that his face was dull and self-ashamed...... (To be continued......)
