Chapter 217(2/2)
"Oh?" Wang Yun said happily, "The plan will come out?"
Cai Yong said: "Why don't you send the eighteen princes to evaluate their respective achievements in advance? Although Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, he may not be able to convince the other princes. There are many people who must talk a lot. In this way, the princes will inevitably quarrel and even turn against each other."
"Wonderful, this plan is very wonderful!" Shangshu Lu Yu praised, "If things can be done like this, we can take advantage of the complex mentality of the princes being afraid of each other and not giving in to each other to find out the weakest of the princes staying in Luoyang. In this way, the other princes have nothing to say and can only lead their troops back to the territory."
"The weakest person?" Sikong Liu Hong said disapprovingly, "It is not surprising that it is difficult for people to stay in Luoyang to convince the public."
"It may not be possible. There is such an excellent candidate right now." Wang Yun suddenly moved his spirit and stroked his beard and smiled, "Sir, I already know what to do."
Luoyang City is in full swing, Cao Cao's central army tent.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed over Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others with a bright voice, "I am determined to raise an army to pursue the riots in Liangzhou. What do you think?"
"Of course I have to chase him." Xiahou Dun waved his fist viciously and shouted sternly, "I finally caught up, how can I return to Qiao County without fighting in one battle?"
"But if you pursue, only the lord will have a little power and power." Xun You analyzed, "Guo Si, Li Kui, Yang Feng, Fan Chou, Zhao Cen and other troops of Liangzhou had more than 100,000 troops, and they also surrounded the capital's strong capital. At this time, I am afraid that no less than 200,000 troops had gathered, and the lord had only more than 10,000 troops, and the lord had less than one-twentieth of the troops, which was too great."
"What's the use of many soldiers?" Cao Ren said disapprovingly, "Now Dong Zhuo is dead, and the rioters of Liangzhou are in charge of the rioters. They fight on their own and can easily defeat them."
"General Zixiao is too optimistic." Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Because the existence of the powerful enemy of the Eighteenth Route Kwantung Army, the Liangzhou chaos army will inevitably share the same hatred for the enemy. If the Liangzhou chaos army is destroyed by internal strife, it will be difficult to achieve success. At least before the Eighteenth Route Alliance disbands, the Liangzhou chaos army will not be able to disrupt the situation first."
Cao Cao's eyes finally fell on Guo Jia, and he asked in a narrow voice: "What do you think Fengxiao thinks?"
Guo Jia said calmly: "If the lord chases you, you will definitely lose."
"What!?"
"Um?"
"hateful!"
"It's really unforgivable to dare to underestimate the elite soldiers trained by me, Cao Hong."
As Guo Jia finished speaking, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others had already changed their minds.
Cao Hong was even more furious and was about to punch Guo Jia, but Guo Jia said calmly: "But Jia thought that the lord should pursue him!"
"Um?"
“Huh?”
Now it was Xun Yu and Xun You's turn to be confused, but a hint of admiration suddenly flashed through Cao Cao's eyes and sighed: "I have to be filial and supportive, and the great things will be harmonious."
Xun Yu and Xun You thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Guo Jia knew that this battle would be defeated, but he still advocated that Cao Cao leads his army to pursue the chasing. It was because if Cao Cao led his army to pursue the chasing the chasing troops in Liangzhou and incurs a great defeat, it would actually be a great victory! Compared with the remaining seventeen princes who were stranded in Luoyang and threatened the court to reward merits and rewards, Cao Cao led his army alone to pursue the chasing troops in Liangzhou, which seemed particularly tragic.
Even if he returns in the end, he will inevitably give a brilliant stroke in the minds of the court and the heroes of the world!
Cao Cao took a deep breath, and his little eyes showed a bright light, and he said quickly: "Where is Yuan Rang?"
Xiahou Dun took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "The last one is here."
Cao Cao said: "Lead three thousand light cavalry as the vanguard, open up roads when passing through mountains, build bridges when approaching water, and clear the way for the army to advance!"
Xiahou Dun responded loudly: "The last general will receive the order."
Cao Cao also said: "The other generals led their troops to send a letter to Gu Pass with their officers and soldiers, and vowed to destroy the chaotic troops in Liangzhou to death."
"Abide by the order!"
The generals responded to the promise, and the clanging sound echoed in the tent, and it was endless.
At dawn.
Gongsun Zan, the governor of Youzhou who was sleeping in the big tent, was suddenly awakened by the chaotic footsteps. When he turned over and sat up, the captain of the personal soldiers Zhao Yun (responsible for Gongsun Zan's personal safety) had already led his cousin Gongsun Yue, general Yan Gang, Ma Teng, Xu Chu and Guo Tu to step in.
"General Xu Chu, Mr. Guo Tu?"
Guo Tu said: "Sir, Cao Cao, the prefect of Qiao County, has set up his camp and raised his troops and pursued the Liangzhou rioters."
"What?" Ma Teng said in surprise, "Only Cao Cao and the Kwantung Army dare to pursue the Liangzhou chaos army?"
Guo Tu said: "Only Cao Cao's Kwantung Army along the way, it is afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Liangzhou chaos army. Our army is willing to provide help. I wonder if the lord is willing to lead the army with him?"
“This ~~”
Gongsun Zan was quite embarrassed when he heard this. The court soon wanted to reward him on his merits. At this time, he really didn't want to leave Luoyang. However, Ma Teng came to join the Kanto Alliance on behalf of Ma Yue, and Ma Yue had to give him face. After weighing the pros and cons, Gongsun Zan turned his attention to Zhao Yun, the captain of the personal soldiers.
Hangu Pass.
The car is shaking, the horse is roaring, and thousands of troops are galloping to Guanzhong.
Except for the Bingzhou Governor Zhang Ji, who had not arrived in Jinyang, the other confidant generals under Dong Zhuo, such as Guo Si, Li Kui, Yang Feng, Zhao Cen, etc., had led their troops to Hangu Pass to join Fan Chou's army. As Xun You expected, the rioters from Liangzhou were tyrannical along the way, and by the time they arrived at Hangu Pass, the troops had reached more than 200,000.
In Hangu Pass, the Central Army Camp.
Guo Si and Li Gui were separated from the upper and lower positions, Yang Feng, Fan Chou, Zhao Cen, Zhang Xiu, and Cui Lie were each ranked lower positions, while Li Ru stood at the upper positions, but the main positions were empty, with only a tablet of Dong Zhuo on it. Generals from all walks of life burned incense and kowtowed under the leadership of Guo Si and Li Gui, and swore to wipe out the Kwantung Army to avenge Dong Zhuo.
"Generals, please listen to Li Ru's words." Li Ru's group glanced at the generals and said in a narrow voice, "The Kwantung Army's troops are powerful, and our army cannot compete. For today's place, we should lead troops to retreat to Guanzhong, drive the horse butcher out of Liang, and welcome Prince Huang from Longxi to Chang'an, inherit the lord's great cause. I wonder what you think?"
Although Guo Si and others were determined to be independent, they did not dare to act rashly at this time, so they all expressed their agreement.
Li Ru also said: "As the saying goes, "Snakes are not headless, and the three armies cannot be without commanders for a day. The most urgent task is to elect a general to replace Gongzi Huang as the commander and dispatch the three armies. Ru thought that General Guo Si was both morally and capable, and had experienced many battles, and was able to take on great tasks. I wonder what the generals meant?"
Although Li Kui, Fan Chou, Yang Feng and others were not convinced, they were not convenient to reveal it at this time, so they had to acquiesce.
Guo Si took a step forward, stood in front of the case where Dong Zhuo tablet was placed, raised his arms and said quickly: "Since everyone has no objection, then the general is going to issue an order, Fan Chou obeys the order!"
Fan Chou said quickly: "The last one will be there."
Guo Si said: "Lead 20,000 light cavalry from the headquarters to immediately cross the ancient Chang'an Road and attack Zheng County!"
Fan Chou said: "The last general will receive the order."
Guo Si said again: "Where is Zhang Xiu?"
Zhang Xiu stepped forward and said proudly: "The last one is here."
Guo Si said: "Immediately, I ordered General Zhang Ji to lead his army to attack Hetao, force Ma Butcher to withdraw his troops from Liangzhou and Guanzhong."
Zhang Xiu said: "Affect the order."
Guo Si finally shouted: "The rest of you lead the headquarters to rest in Guanzhong for three days. Three days later, the army was sent to Guanzhong and went straight to Chang'an."
"Report~~" Guo Si finished speaking, suddenly a small school rushed in and knelt down and said quickly, "General, there are enemy troops attacking outside the pass!"
"Outside the pass?" Guo Si's eyes narrowed and he shouted, "Kansai or Kanto?"
Xiaozhao Road: "Kanto."
"What? Kanto!" Guo Si's face changed drastically, and he said in a voice, "The Kanto Army is coming so fast!"
Li Ru's heart moved and asked, "How many Kanto Army have come? What flag is it?"
The little school said: "There are about three or four thousand cavalrymen under the banner of 'Xiahou'."
"Xiahou?" Li Ru said in a deep voice, "It seems that only Cao Cao, the prefect of Qiao County, came to pursue him, and it was not the 18th Kwantung Army who was chasing him in large numbers."
