Standing on the hill, looking at the general of the Qin army who fell straight upright, Sun Guan took off his helmet and protected the helmet in the crook of his arm.

His face was solemn, and Xun You, who was standing beside him, was also solemn.

"Pass the order down and bury the Qin army!" After being silent for a long time, Sun Guan finally said such a sentence from his mouth.

One of his own soldiers standing behind him answered, and ran quickly down the hill.

After the pro-soldier conveyed Sun Guan's order, a group of Qingzhou soldiers put away their blades one after another to collect the bodies of the soldiers on both sides who died in the Qin army.

The corpses were thrown into the deep pit dug by the Qingzhou army, and when the two Qingzhou army soldiers lifted the body of the Qin army general and planned to throw it together with other corpses, an officer of the Qingzhou army stopped them.

Looking up at the hill, the Qingzhou Army officer slowly shook his head.

Seeing that the officer shook his head, the two Qingzhou soldiers lightly placed the body on the ground, and then went to the side and dug another pit with a shovel.

The independent tomb was dug up, and the two Qingzhou soldiers turned their heads to look at the officer, and when they saw that the officer nodded, they lifted the body of the Qin army general again and placed him in the newly dug tomb.

A handful of earth was filled into the deep pit, and the two soldiers of the Qin army were buried, and a small tomb was soon built.

Crowded together with the two bulges that buried the dead soldiers of both sides, this tomb looks a little small.

However, its terrain is above the two bulges, like a mighty general, standing on the platform of the generals, gazing at the army below.

Sun Guan and Xun You on the hill did not speak, looking at the tomb that had just been built from afar, and a wave of reverence and worry surged in the hearts of both of them.

What they revere is that the soldiers of the Qin army actually have such a strong fighting spirit, and after a battle, more than 1,000 Qin soldiers have no survivors.

And what they are worried about is that there are nearly 60,000 Qin troops near Xuanyuan Pass, which may come at any time.

60,000 Qin troops are not the same concept as 1,000 Qin troops.

In terms of numbers, the Qingzhou army does not have an advantage, and once the two sides fight head-on, the Qingzhou army will definitely be defeated at a very fast speed.

If you are not careful, you will be in danger!

Although neither of them spoke, the two of them had the same thought in their hearts.

At this time, in Xuanyuan Pass, nearly 60,000 Qin troops lined up in a neat formation, looking at the five generals standing in front of them.

The two Qin armies joined forces, and the number of the army doubled, and they were also a few percent more sure of forcibly breaking through the Qingzhou army.

Mentoring has its own advantages, but it also has the disadvantages of mentoring.

The two Qin armies were not led by the same general, and Liu Wei did not give instructions to tell them which of the Qin armies would lead the whole army once they met.

Wei Yan and Zhang Liao rode side by side in front of the soldiers of the Qin army, and their eyes stayed on the soldiers.

After sending a thousand pathfinder cavalry, the two had already discussed, whether the cavalry returned or not, they would lead the army through Songshan and attack Xudu.

Because of the experience of Lu Bu and Jia Xu, the two did not make an assertion, and had already sent a messenger to ask Liu Wei for advice.

It's just that the messenger has been gone for more than a day and has not yet returned, and it is for this reason that the two of them have gathered a large army, but have not given the order to set out for a long time.

In Luoyang City, Liu Wei was sitting upright in the front hall, and in front of him, a Qin army officer stood straight.

The officers of the Qin army standing in front of Liu Wei were the messengers sent by Wei Yan and Zhang Liao to ask him if they could attack Xudu.

Sitting in the front hall, Liu Wei pinched his chin with one hand, and after listening to the messenger's instructions, he was already silent for a long time.

The staff under his command are busy with their own affairs, and in the area of Xuanyuan Pass, the 60,000 Qin army is already a large combat force, and it is not impossible to attack Xudu, as long as it is carried out smoothly.

Considering this, Liu Wei did not send someone to invite his staff, but only analyzed the pros and cons of offense and defense by himself.

If the Xuanyuan Pass is defended, the Qin army can really maintain the results of the battle, but the threat to the Cao army will be reduced to a minimum, and it will not be beneficial to the entire battle of Guandu.

If the Xu capital is attacked and the Cao army intercepts it in the Songshan area, the Qin army will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

After weighing the two sides, Liu Wei finally made the decision to attack Xu Du.

As long as Xu Du is breached, Cao Cao will be cut off from the back road, and the war in the Central Plains will also come to an end with Cao Cao's demise.

Instead of giving up attacking Xudu in order to avoid more casualties, it is better to defeat Xudu in one fell swoop, so as to end the troubled times early, and fewer people will die in the war in the future.

With a decision in his heart, Liu Wei looked at the Qin army officer standing in the hall head-on, and said to the officer: "Sue Wei Yan and Zhang Liao, as long as they can defeat Xu Du, this king doesn't care what method they use." However, all their military operations can only surround the perimeter of Xudu, and they must not mess around! ”

"No!" Liu Wei's words were undoubtedly a sue to the officer, he had agreed to attack Xu Du, the officer was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded with a fist, bowed and walked backwards two steps before turning around and striding out of the hall.

After the officer left, Liu Wei sat in the hall and was speechless for a long time.

Allowing Wei Yan and Zhang Liao to lead the army to attack Xudu, Liu Wei always felt that there was something missing and did not order, after a long time, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said to Wang Liu behind him: "Quickly send someone to catch up with the messenger, and ask him to inform Wei Yan and Zhang Liao that after the army meets, Wei Yan will deploy the whole army in a unified manner!" ”

Hearing a little anxiety from Liu Wei's tone, Wang Liu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly responded, and ran out of the front hall quickly.

Having gathered a large army and been waiting for the messenger to return, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao took Tai Shici and others to stand in front of the army, and both of them would glance in the direction of Songshan from time to time.

"General, it's not good!" Just as the two of them were looking in the direction of Songshan and waiting for the messenger to return, a fast horse galloped from the direction of Songshan, and the knight on horseback shouted loudly with unconcealed panic before they could get close to them.

Hearing the shouts of the cavalry, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao couldn't help frowning.

Riding a horse and rushing to the front of Wei Yan and Zhang Liao, the cavalry turned over and jumped off the horse, clasped his fists and bowed to the two and said: "Our army's pathfinder cavalry was ambushed by the Qingzhou army, and the whole army was annihilated!" ”

"Is there a living person?" Hearing the soldier's report, Zhang Liao and Wei Yan, as well as Tai Shici and others behind them, were all stunned, and Wei Yan hurriedly asked.

Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, the cavalry who came to report the news said to Wei Yan: "More than a thousand soldiers have all died in battle, and none of them survived!" ”

More than 1,000 soldiers died on the battlefield!

Hearing the cavalry's words, Wei Yan and the others were all dumbfounded.

sent a thousand cavalry, still led by a partial general, and even ended up in a situation where the whole army was wiped out and no one survived.

It can be seen that the Qingzhou army had set up an ambush in advance.

After getting this news, Zhang Liao lifted the reins of the war horse, and called on his soldiers and horses to follow him to attack the Qingzhou army.

"What did General Zhang do?" As soon as he lifted the reins, before Zhang Liao had time to greet his soldiers, Wei Yan hurriedly asked him.

"More than 1,000 cavalrymen were all killed in the ambush of the Qingzhou Army!" The muscles of his cheeks twitched violently, and Zhang Liao said to Wei Yan: "If you lead the army to fight with the Qingzhou army, the general can wait until His Highness's order is conveyed, and then follow him!" ”

"General Zhang!" As Zhang Liao spoke, he was about to beckon his soldiers to follow him to Songshan, but Wei Yan grabbed his reins and shouted to him: "The general is the general who leads the army, how can he be so impulsive?" ”

Zhang Liao can also be regarded as a leading general who can use his brains in battle, and the reason why he is impulsive is because he heard that more than 1,000 Qin troops were all killed in battle.

was drunk by Wei Yan, Zhang Liao was stunned, twisted his face to the side with an unwilling face, and sighed.

Compared with Wei Yan, Zhang Liao is much older, and in front of the soldiers of the whole army, he was shouted by Wei Yan, and his face was a little unbearable.

However, Tai Shici, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were standing behind the two of them, did not feel that Wei Yan had done anything wrong.

The Qingzhou army had just ambushed the Qin army's pathfinders, and the morale was strong at this time, if they went to seek revenge at this time, the soldiers under Zhang Liao's command would definitely have a lot of casualties.

Knowing that the 1,000 Qin army was ambushed by the Qingzhou army and all killed, the soldiers of the Qin army present were all full of righteous indignation, and many of them turned their heads to look in the direction of Luoyang.

They were all waiting, waiting for the messenger who had gone to ask Liu Wei for instructions to bring back orders to march into Xudu.

As time passed, tens of thousands of Qin troops lined up in a neat queue, waiting for the return of the messenger.

I don't know how long it took, but an ecstatic shout came from the Qin army's array: "It's back!" The Messenger is back! ”

This shout undoubtedly brought news worth looking forward to for all the Qin troops, and everyone stretched their necks and looked in the direction of Luoyang.

The pass of Xuanyuan Pass stood quietly, and at the open gate of the pass, a fast horse was rushing towards the Qin army's array.

The red robe of the knight on horseback flew up and down under the stirring of the wind, like a raging flame, burning the hearts of every Qin soldier who looked at him.

The cavalry rushing from the pass to the Qin army's large array was getting closer and closer, and when the cavalry reached the end of the large formation, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao recognized him almost simultaneously as the messenger who had gone to Luoyang to ask Liu Wei for battle.

Recognizing the messenger, the hands of the two of them holding the reins subconsciously tightened a little.

"Report!" Riding a horse and galloping towards Wei Yan and Zhang Liao, when they reached a place only five or six steps away from the two, the messenger lifted the reins, stopped the war horse, and clasped his fists at the two and said: "Your Highness has an order, the army can march to Xudu!" ”

Knowing that Liu Wei allowed the army to attack Xudu, not only Wei Yan was very Zhang Liao, but all the Qin troops present were jubilant.

"Two generals!" The soldiers of the Qin army were still shouting jubilantly, and the messenger maintained a posture of clenching his fists, and said to Zhang Liao and Wei Yan: "Your Highness has another order, this time the army is marching eastward, and General Wei will lead the whole army, and General Zhang will assist it!" ”
