Chapter 237(1/2)
: Killing Sun Jian
Cao Cao took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Shao, and said in a deep voice: "Cao has formulated the implementation strategy of the middle and the best strategy overnight. Please review it first."
Yuan Shao took it with a serious expression, and after reading it in a hurry, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Meng De, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to do this? Those who don't know the truth think that you and I deliberately preserved their strength and refused to work hard for the court to rebel."
Cao Cao said: "Justice is in the hearts of the people."
Yuan Shao said: "But whether Ma Yue will send troops to the side is still a guess and has not become a fact. Will this implementation strategy be temporarily suspended?"
Cao Cao said: "At the beginning, the opportunity to fight is fleeting, so it is better to be early than late."
Yuan Shao thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, just do as Meng De said."
Luoyang, Ma Yue’s official residence.
Ma Yue continued: "Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Lu Bu and others are not ordinary people. Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Chen Gong and others are even more intelligent. They already know the general's combat style. It is probably difficult for our army to hide the combat intentions from them."
"Once the war reaches scale, the outcome of local wars can no longer affect the outcome of the entire battle. Now the two sides are fighting for comprehensive strength in logistics, economy, population, etc., and all conspiracies and tricks are meaningless." Jia Xu said in a dark voice, "Since our army's combat intentions are difficult to hide from the other side, then we can simply not hide them. The two armies can be pulled out to fight with a dignified decisive battle."
Ma Yue said: "What Wenhe said is exactly what I want, and the coalition forces lack cavalry, while our army is mainly cavalry and has an overwhelming advantage in mobility. Our army does not have to defend Hulao and Luoyang at all. We can take the initiative to attack Yingchuan and Xuchang."
Jia Xu said: "This is called attack instead of defense. You can take this opportunity to temper the new army and integrate the Liangzhou chaos army."
"Haha, this is what the heroes see." Ma Yue laughed and said, "I am just thinking of this."
Jia Xu said: "Then let's take action against Sun Jian, and then let's talk about it first."
The next day.
Luoyang City is effective in Liangzhou's chaos camp.
All officers above Dubian were already concentrated in the tent, but Duan Wei and Yang Feng were no longer among them. As early as shortly after leading the army to Luoyang, Ma Yue sent a transfer order and transferred Duan Wei and Yang Feng to the old camp of Hetao. He said that he was Fang Yue's deputy general, but in fact he was under house arrest.
Hetao is Ma Yue’s old camp, and the power of the horse butcher is deeply rooted. Even if Duan Wei and Yang Feng have the ability to reach the sky, they cannot cause any storm.
"General Pingxi is here!"
While the officers were chatting in the vast sky, a loud shout like thunder suddenly rang outside the tent. The officers in the tent were shocked and all died. The tent, which was originally as lively as a market, suddenly became silent.
Amid the heavy footsteps, a majestic figure stepped into the tent with high apex.
The generals in the tent turned their heads one after another, and saw this man with golden helmet and golden armor, his eyes were as cold as a knife. Who else was not the famous General Ma Yue of Pingxi? Ma Yue followed closely behind a guard like an iron tower, but it was the evil man Dian Wei. Dian Wei described it as ferocious, with a pair of dark iron halberds inserted diagonally behind his shoulders, full of murderous aura.
Ma Yue walked straight to the back of the big case, swayed his cloak and sat down.
Dian Wei followed him quickly, standing behind Ma Yue, and his wolf-like eyes glanced at the big tent. All the generals in the tent were angry and looked at him, but no one was afraid of him. This showed the fierce and bloody nature of this group of Liangzhou generals! If they were trained, they would be another tiger and wolf army within a day.
A hint of coldness appeared on the corner of Ma Yue's mouth, and he said in a stern voice: "Please sit down with all the generals."
"General Xie."
The generals of Liangzhou leaped towards the horse and bowed with fists, and sat on the ground.
"I am the general's iron cavalry, and the Jiuzhou Liuhe has never been defeated. There are hundreds of barbarians who have been slaughtered, thousands of cities have been broken, and countless troops have been wiped out. Few troops can make me look at me differently, but..." Ma Yue said this, his eyes were full of excitement and shouted sternly, "I have to say, Liangzhou Army... is good!"
The general of Liangzhou in the tent suddenly felt warm when he heard this.
It is enough to make them proud to hear this from the famous horse butcher.
"Although the Liangzhou Legion, which was the world in the past, was defeated, it was not because you were not brave enough, but because the Liangzhou Legion lacked good commanders. It was Guo Si, Li Kui, Duan Wei, Yang Feng, and Dong Zhuo who brought the Liangzhou Legion to the end! But this has nothing to do with you, you are still brave and good at fighting Liangzhou soldiers!"
The eyes of Liangzhou generals began to become hot, and Ma Yue's words once again came to their hearts.
The defeat of the Liangzhou Legion has always been difficult to relieve the hearts of hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers. They can't understand why the Liangzhou Legion, which was once powerful, was defeated?
"I am from Maoling, Youfufeng, and was not from Liangzhou. However, my ancestor Wen Yuan Gong (General Fubo Ma Yuan) once pacified the Western Qiang in Liangzhou and made great achievements for the Han Dynasty. From that time on, our Ma family has become one of the soldiers of Liangzhou! Therefore, you don't have to take the defeat in Chang'an to heart. You did not lose to others, but to your own people and another Liangzhou army! This... is not embarrassing!"
The defeat of Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass and the defeat of Luoyang did not destroy the fighting spirit of the Liangzhou rioters. The looting of the four counties in the capital only encouraged the style of bandits and did not damage the combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou army. The melee between Guo Si, Li Kui and Yang Feng only seriously reduced the strength of the Liangzhou army, and did not destroy the self-confidence and fighting spirit of this army.
But the defeat in Chang'an completely destroyed the confidence of the Liangzhou rioters.
In the defeat of Chang'an, more than 20,000 troops were all captured by Gao Shun's army. Although Guo Si was assassinated at that time, all the generals and generals and corpses in the army gathered in the central army's tent, the Liangzhou chaos army quickly collapsed due to lack of effective command! But these simple-minded soldiers would not think so much, and they would be defeated if they were defeated in their hearts, let alone the most tragic destruction of the entire army.
If this Liangzhou rioter army wants to restore combat effectiveness, we must first prescribe the right medicine to restore their self-confidence.
"Yes, we did not lose to the Kwantung Army, we were just defeated to our own brothers."
"Who said no? General Pingxi's army is also a Liangzhou army, so we lost to our own people."
"Our grandma's, that is, General Pingxi's army, can defeat us. If we replace the Kwantung Army, we will be his mother's dream of spring and autumn."
As soon as Ma Yue finished speaking, these Liangzhou generals and schools began to clamor. Ma Yue's gentle words solved the crux of the suppressed hearts of this group of martial artists and restored their pride as a Liangzhou soldier.
Ma Yue raised his hand suddenly.
Dian Wei looked fierce and shouted: "Silent!"
The generals and schools in Liangzhou who were clamoring for a long time were silent, and the tent returned to silence. Ma Yue then said coldly: "I don't want to hear this, and you shouldn't say it with your mouth! If you are still men, just raise the egg under your crotch, use your sword, and use your sword to tell those Guandong local dogs what the real Liangzhou soldiers are like!"
"General, this Luoyang war must bring brothers to the battlefield!" As soon as Ma Yue finished speaking, a side general stood up and shouted loudly, "Brothers must use the sword in their hands to tell those Guandong local dogs with bloody facts that the Liangzhou army is the strongest army in the world!"
"Yeah." Ma Yue nodded, "What's your name?"
The side general said proudly: "The last general Li Meng!"
"Li Meng?" Ma Yue said, "Okay, I have written it down."
"General, and the last general!"
Before Ma Yue could speak, another member stood up.
Ma Yue asked, "What's your name?"
"The last general Wang Fang."
"Wang Fang? OK, I have also recorded it."
"General, and the last general."
"And we, we are going to go to war."
This time, all the Liangzhou generals and schools in the tent stood up. In such an occasion and in such an atmosphere, if there are still people who can sit on the table and stay still, there are only two possibilities: one is that he is not a man at all, and the other is that the guy, like the butcher of horses, can maintain enough calm under any circumstances.
Xingyang, Sun Jian’s camp.
Since Xuchang raised troops, General Yuan Shao has taken Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong as the vanguard and led 8,000 elite troops to station in Xingyang. Yuan Shu has always felt guilty about Sun Jian's crossing the river to attack Liu Biao, so he sent General Qiao Rui to lead 5,000 elite troops to Sun Jian's tent to listen to the command to strengthen his momentum. The two armies were stationed in Xingyang City together.
Three days ago, General He Jin summoned all the princes to discuss the plans for advancing. Sun Jian, Xu Shu and Huang Gai had already taken the order to go to Xuchang. Before leaving, Sun Jian appointed Cheng Pu as the main general, Han Dang, Zhu Huan and Qiao Rui as the deputy generals, and repeatedly reminded the generals that if the enemy attacked, they should not act rashly.
Hulao Pass is less than a hundred miles away from Xingyang. Xiliang's virgin general Ma Chao led his army to station in Hulao Pass.
I spent the last two days in peace, but on the third day, something happened.
On the morning of the third day, the sun rose.
Cheng Pu and Qiao Rui were patrolling the city. Suddenly, they heard a clamor on the city tower in front of them. Many soldiers rushed up to the city tower in chaos. Some people were looking back to greet their familiar companions to go to the city to watch together, as if something rare happened outside the city, which was attracting the attention of these big-headed soldiers.
Cheng Pu frowned and was about to stop, he suddenly remembered that these soldiers were all Qiao Rui's soldiers, so he had to give up and said to Qiao Rui: "General Qiao Rui, what seems to have happened?"
Qiao Rui said: "Let's go and have a look together."
Cheng Pu and Qiao Rui led their personal soldiers to the enemy tower, and finally knew why the defenders on the city were like this.
Outside the north gate, under the morning sun, an army was slowly moving towards Xingyang City. At this time, it was only a few dozen steps away from the city. The defenders on the city tower could clearly see the appearance of the enemy soldiers. To be at such a close distance, the defenders on the city tower should have shot arrows long ago, but this time, no defenders fired arrows, and they were just standing on the city tower laughing and laughing.
Cheng Pu and Qiao Rui fought for half their lives, and they can be said to have experienced many battles. They have never seen any kind of army, but the two of them have never seen such an army outside the city.
That was a female soldier, all of whom were female soldiers!
The simple flag, the white armor, and the white horse, and the graceful figure of the woman and the white jade-like skin stood on the city tower and looked down, like a piece of ice and snow swelling. In this moment, the female soldier had already arrived at the city of Xingyang and set up a formation along the city ditch.
There are about four or five hundred female soldiers in this group.
The first female general was full of picturesque eyebrows and beautiful scenery. Her tight and thin white robe wrapped her delicate body tightly, and her proud figure was fully revealed, which made the big-headed soldiers on the city tower swallow their saliva. They had never seen such a beautiful girl in their lifetime.
General Yuan Shu Qiao Rui was also a hungry ghost. Seeing that the female general under the city was slender, plump and plump breasts and buttocks were already hot, two balls of fire ignited in her eyes. She opened her throat and shouted at the female general under the city: "Hey, girl, look at you showing off your power, do you want to taste the smell of this general's iron spear?"
"Hahaha……"
The soldiers gathered on the city tower burst into laughter.
The female general down the city tower was so angry that her face turned pale. She pulled the bow and arrow, and shot it into Qiao Rui's throat with an arrow. Qiao Rui dodged and looked around the personal soldiers beside her and laughed: "Hey, I didn't expect this girl to be really good at it. This general likes this kind of thorny one, it's delicious, hahaha."
The female general under the city became more and more angry, so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She pointed at Qiao Rui with her jade fingers as if she was a child, and said, "A dog thief who has the ability to go out of the city to fight one-on-one. What's the ability to hide in the city as a turtle?"
"Hahaha..." Qiao Ruichang laughed three times, raised his arms and shouted, "Open the city gate, the brothers of the cavalry team will follow me to leave the city... and rob the women."
Cheng Pu said urgently: "General Qiao Rui, this may be an enemy's trick."
"Crack?" Qiao Rui said disapprovingly, "What kind of tricks can it be? General Cheng Pu is afraid of these four or five hundred beautiful ladies, are the men in Jiangdong afraid of women? Oh hahaha..."
"you!"
Cheng Pu's face turned pale with anger.
Qiao Ruihun ignored him and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Brothers, let's go!"
Xuchang and Yuan Shao’s central army tent.
Tian Feng sighed excitedly: "This strategy is wonderful, if you follow this, you can easily break it."
"Oh?" Yuan Shao said happily, "Yuan Hao thought this proposal was feasible?"
"It's feasible." Tian Feng nodded, "This strategy hits the nail on the head of Ma Ni, but I wonder who can come up with such a wonderful plan?"
