【Chapter 753】 Want to get away with it
And although Wei Xu is not worth a fortune in front of Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others, he is also a trusted general under Lu Bu's account, and he was once called a "strong general" by Lu Bu.
Yes, in the head-to-head confrontation, the two were inseparable, but no one could help anyone.
"The thief will leave Hou Chengxiu and die quickly!"
This shouting obviously came from Dian Wei's mouth, because this was his usual style -- a common name and temperament that had not changed for many years.
However, this thunderous shout was undoubtedly a warning to Hou Cheng, and he Dian Wei had already chased and killed, so that Hou Cheng could prepare in advance, so that he would not be killed by Dian Wei's halberd silently.
This seems to be a very stupid move, there should have been a chance to sneak up on the enemy from behind, and it was easy to succeed, but because of a meaningless name, the enemy was on guard, and then a lot of trouble was fought. However, this is precisely the embodiment of Dian Wei's simplicity, no matter who his opponent is, he does not disdain to fight without declaring, let alone sneak attack others from behind.
This kind of simple sentiment, although many times it will delay the fighter plane and miss the best time to kill the enemy, is a direct reaction of a person's nature and conduct.
Dian Wei had followed Li Li for more than a year, and Li Li would not have been unaware of his temperament and habits. However, Li Li never said a word, but trusted Dian Wei extremely and always entrusted him with important tasks. Whenever there was a heavy battle, Li Li always had to transfer Dian Wei to his side, and handed over to him the soldiers and horses with the strongest combat effectiveness under his command, and then left him the most difficult bones to gnaw. What this means. It goes without saying that trust is built up bit by bit.
"Ugh!" At first glance, there was a sudden burst of shouting behind him, and Hou Cheng was shocked. Even without looking back, he beat his horse and galloped wildly, so that he didn't care about killing the Xiliang cavalry who blocked the way.
"If you want to run, it's not that easy!"
Dian Wei seemed to have expected Hou Cheng's behavior of running away when he heard the sound, so he didn't expect Hou Cheng to dare to turn around and fight with him in a dignified manner.
"Phew!" Another loud shout came, and Hou Cheng, who was leaning over and galloping his horse, suddenly heard a strong air stream in his left ear, and immediately he waved his hand and slashed to the left without thinking.
Under the loud sound of the "bell". The war knife on Hou Cheng's right hand came out of his hand, and flew into the sky with a "whoosh", and his body rolled on his side. If it weren't for the two legs tightly clamping the horse's belly, it would have almost fallen off the horse.
At this moment, he knew that he had fallen for Dian Wei's tricks, and he was too self-righteous. Hearing Dian Wei's shouting coming from behind him. mistakenly thought that Dian Wei would definitely follow and kill. Unexpectedly, Dian Wei did not chase up from the rear at all, but used the loud shouts to urge the Xiliang cavalry blocking the road to get out of the way, and then attacked directly from the side. As a result, Hou Cheng was caught off guard by his halberd and dropped his weapon and became a lamb to the slaughter.
Maybe until this time, Hou Chengcheng can understand a truth, Dian Wei is indeed a fair and honest person, but this does not mean that he is a stupid person. I don't know how to be flexible at all. However, Hou Cheng didn't understand this truth before, and completely regarded Dian Wei as a stubborn fool. didn't realize that the reason why Dian Wei was able to live until now was that in addition to his martial arts, he must have something extraordinary.
So, when Hou Cheng was annoyed that he had accidentally fallen into Dian Wei's trick, Dian Wei did not have the slightest awareness of using tricks, but thought that Hou Cheng was too stupid to die: "Who sues you The voice comes from behind, I, Dian Wei, must catch up from behind, can't I chase from the side?" ”
"Ahh There was a scream, and Dian Wei's expression was shocked when he heard it, so that he even missed the best time to kill Hou Cheng. However, when he finally calmed down, he raised his eyes and immediately smiled. It turned out that the terrible scream just now came from Hou Cheng's mouth, but the person who killed him was not Dian Wei, but the three cavalrymen of the Long Xiang battalion in the horse charge. The three spears stabbed the defenseless Hou Cheng almost at the same time, and the three of them worked together to pick Hou Cheng in the air, and then the three of them suddenly pulled out their weapons, causing Hou Cheng to scream and slam to the ground, becoming a stepping stone under the feet of the war horse.
After killing Hou Cheng, Dian Wei wielded his halberd and led the Longxiang battalion to charge straight to the right flank formation. Because this is the junction of the wolf cavalry and the Jizhou cavalry under the tent, the defense is relatively weak, and it is easy to be cut through the battle formation by the cavalry of the Longxiang battalion led by Dian Wei, and then defeat the allied cavalry on the right flank in one fell swoop.
However, this tactical goal was not achieved overnight, because the 30,000 cavalry on the right flank of the Allied army was not an ornament, but an elite cavalry with strong combat effectiveness in the allied armies of the princes. Therefore, the battle of the horses had just begun, and the Longxiang battalion led by Dian Wei just made a good start and opened the situation smoothly.
Just when Dian Wei Shun broke the game, the battle between Li Zheng and Lu Bu was still holding each other in the chase, and the two battles between Hu Che'er and Zhao Zhao, Ma Dai and Wei Xu were also continuing.
――――――――――――
In front of the Xiliang army, below Daxu.
"In the past, Hou Cheng escaped with his life in the battle of Bahe, and today this guy is still unable to escape death after all. It's just that this kind of death is really ugly, trampled into flesh by a war horse, and there is no corpse to die, it's really miserable! ”
If people who don't know heard this, they must have thought that someone among the Xiliang generals had compassion and was unhappy for Hou Cheng. However, if you see clearly who the person is speaking, you will never have this kind of thought again, and you will suddenly feel a sense of false compassion in your heart, and truly understand what it means to "gloat".
Because these words came from Yin Yu's mouth, and the third brother Tie Yu beside him nodded his head in agreement, as if he felt that his second brother was too good and kind-hearted.
Don't you know that Hou Chengcheng escaped from their brother in the Battle of Bahe in the past, and when he escaped, he was stabbed in the back by a spear from Yinyu, causing Hou Cheng to almost die on the spot. Don't admit it, Hou Cheng escaped the first day of junior high but couldn't escape the fifteenth, and after three years, he finally died under the halberd of the Xiliang Army, and died a miserable death.
After Guo Jia heard Yinyu's words, he chuckled and shook his head, then looked sideways at Li Li, and said in a low voice: "From Weichen's point of view, it seems that the lord intends to destroy Lu Bu in this battle, but in this way, wouldn't he have cheapened Cao Cao for nothing?" Now, Cao Cao was beaten by Lu Bu and relegated to three small cities, and he was already in danger; If it weren't for Yuan Shao's call for all the princes to jointly crusade against our army, I am afraid that Cao Cao would already be a dry bone in the grave at this moment. ”
"Listening to Feng Xiao's words, it seems that there is something in the words, does Feng Xiao also have compassion for Lu Bu?" Li Li smiled indifferently.
Guo Jia shook his head when he heard this: "I can't talk about compassion, Weichen just thinks that getting rid of Lu Bu at this time is not the best time." ”
"Oh? Fengxiao is really different, he must have a high view, and he is willing to hear about it. ”
Seeing Li Li's calm and indifferent expression when he spoke, Guo Jia secretly admired. In the face of such a fierce battle, the lord Li Li can still sit like a bell and look calm, with this open-mindedness alone, he is a rare emperor in the world.
"The lord is too elevated to the ministers. Jia didn't have any high opinions, but he just had a little insight based on the actions of the lord in Wuguan City in the past to let Lu Bu go south. ”
"Will Wuguan let Lu Bu go?" Li Li's expression changed slightly, and he muttered: "Actually, I really wanted to get rid of Lu Bu at that time, but I had some scruples, and I had limited soldiers and horses in my hands, so I was afraid that I would suffer from it if I didn't die. So, I simply let him go, retreated to the second, asked him for Wen Yuan, Xiaogong and Cao Xing, the three generals, and detained 800 traps in the camp. Now that I think about it, after Lu Bu went south to the Central Plains, he did a lot of things for us that we wanted to do but couldn't do it, stirring up chaos and endless wars in the Central Plains, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy. Otherwise, if Yanzhou was still in Cao Mengde's hands, how could he be reluctant to secretly form an alliance with us? ”
"Hehehe! The lord said this??? I'm afraid it's a little insincere! Guo Jia laughed dumbly.
Seeing that Guo Jia was smiling very weirdly, Li Li's face was not red and his heart was not beating slightly: "Why is Feng Xiao laughing, am I not right?" You know, what I'm talking about is a fact that everyone knows, and it's not just a distortion of the facts. ”
Indeed, what the lord said was true. It's just that these facts are superficial, and they are not meant to be so, and they are far from the same. Guo Jia said with a smile.
"What is the original intention, Feng Xiao might as well try to say it."
Guo Jia said happily: "The reason why the lord let Lu Bu go that day was because of the current chaotic situation in the Central Plains states. Obviously, the lord's purpose was all realized, so the lord believed that Lü Bu had lost the value of the zài, and intended to completely erase it in this battle. However, Weichen thought that this was not the time to get rid of Lu Bu, and he still had a lot of use value. ”
“??? In addition, Weichen thought that after this battle, our army might not have the strength to destroy all the princes in front of him. This war has been going on for more than half a year, and when the war is over, it will be a whole year. Not to mention whether the officers and men of the whole army can continue to fight, the huge consumption of grain, grass and baggage alone is already overwhelming. After all, my Xiliang army was already short of food and grass, and it was not easy to raise enough grain and grass to supply the needs of the army last year. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia said solemnly: "If this is the case, then what will the states of the Central Plains look like, and will they return to the original pattern?" Once Lu Bu is completely annihilated by our army, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Yanzhou to Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao? Rather than this, it is better to leave Lu Bu. At least if he is in Yanzhou, he can contain Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, making Yuan and Cao two hindered everywhere; Even if Yuan and Cao were able to return to their stations alive, it would be difficult for them to recover within three years.
What's more, if Lu Bu can't stay in Yanzhou, he can still go to Jingzhou and Yangzhou and other areas along the river; The land of the Han Dynasty is vast, so there is no place for him. What's more, when he is exhausted, he may not be able to take it under the command of the lord and use it for the lord's use. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”
