Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 417 Xiahou Yuanrang
It was still early, and Wang Zheng led the horse, followed by everyone, and continued to gallop on the vast plain, heading towards a large lake ahead.

For a while, the horses galloped and the people laughed, resounding through the originally peaceful and comfortable lakeside wilderness.

Arriving on a hill overlooking the entire Great Lake, Wang Zheng reined in his horse and stopped, staring at the wild spring scenery, he saw lush greenery with distinct layers, just like a picture scroll, which really opened his heart.

For a while, he was very ambitious, and laughed loudly: "Yuzhou is worthy of being among the Kyushu. It is really fertile and rich in products." Lu Haha, the name of this city is really appropriate, no wonder Feng Xiao praised this city, saying that if you can take down its peace and neck line, it will be my western barrier!"

"Look, everyone, this plain is located between two mountains. There are continuous mountains on the left and right. It is bordered by Chenliu in the north and Runan in the south. There are also several rivers running through the entire plain. The land is fertile and self-sufficient."

"This Yilu City is indeed too small. We only need to take the other two cities. According to Feng Xiao's words, we will choose a place between the three to build the city, and build military towns on the left and right as barriers. It will be easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once the generals are entrusted with elite soldiers to guard them, they will be guarded by one man, and no one can open it!"

"What Zhou Mu said is true." Gao Lan on the side nodded again and again: "If Cao Jun takes Runan, he will go through three routes: Wuyang, Yancheng, and Xinjier in Yingchuan County."

"If our army is defending, we only need to set up sentry cavalry near this mountain. The first two roads can be overlooked, and the latter cannot go around the western foot of the mountain. It will not escape our eyes and ears. If we attack, we can go north to Chenliu at any time. It is not difficult to sweep the whole county in an instant with only a few thousand riders, without any surprise."

Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "Pei Kingdom is no longer in our hands. It is too early to say a counterattack against Chen Liu, but now that we have arrived in Runan, we only need to occupy the land in advance. If Xiahou Dun It is not so easy to lead an army to invade Chen Guo!"

"But if Cao Mengde can't win Yuzhou this time, it will be even more difficult to have a chance in the future!"

He looked around and said with a smile: "Just wait for us to set up a strong city here, and then take Peiguo, and then the two states will be connected. The whole Xuzhou will be the solid backing of the three cities of Ningping. We can’t easily break through our army’s deep defense, and even if this general intends to let a general stand guard here, and then gather the land of the six counties and trap them in one place, wouldn’t it be better to get something out of a bag?”

The laughter is full of confidence and heroism, not only the direct descendants, but even Gao Lan, the new attache, is heartbroken.

Long before the first battle, Gao Lan knew about Wang Zheng, not only his name and related deeds, but also his appearance was painted into a portrait by the spies who were ambushing in Xuzhou. all over.

At that time, many people were still surprised, Zhu Zi was ordinary-looking, and he didn't look like a gentleman!
How can you be so lucky to establish such a feat?

Gao Lan didn't really understand until he saw the real person.

In Gao Lan's view, the painter did not deliberately discredit Wang Zheng, but the portraits of real people are different after all, especially the charm and demeanor cannot be fully displayed.

Wang Zheng's appearance is indeed ordinary, with thick lips and a slightly wide nose bone, so his appearance has nothing to do with being handsome, but a pair of flying sword eyebrows, coupled with a face that looks like a knife, shows a resolute, decisive and strong character .

I don't know if it's because of being in a high position for a long time, concealing his thoughts for a long time, and not expressing his emotions and anger, most of the time when the boy's face is calm, his eyes are like a bottomless pool, giving people a deep and unpredictable feeling of debate.

But if he looks at others occasionally, but his light is flickering, not to mention Gao Lan, even all the important officials in Xuzhou will feel terrified and startled.

Especially in the first year of Jian'an, Wang Zheng has reached the crown, his stature has grown completely, he is becoming taller and more powerful, his shoulders are broad and thick, his hands and feet are thick and long, and his actions are like a dragon and a tiger, like Yue Linyuan. The demeanor of majestic world.

Such a character, Yuan Tan is definitely incomparable.

As for Yuan Benchu.
Gao Lan's mood is a little complicated, and he doesn't know it yet.

When he was fascinated, Wang Zheng became more energetic, generous and fierce, looking around, he laughed and asked: "Everyone, in the Zhao County barracks that day, did you think that we have today?"

Everyone suddenly agreed: "The last general waited for two meals in the past, and he was in troubled times. Unexpectedly, he also walked in the temple and was lucky to have thousands of troops!"

"This is all Huang Tian's sign, and the general's ability."

"Too humble." Wang Zheng stood at the top of the tower, looked at the mountains and rivers with contempt, and said seriously: "If you don't die, and the soldiers use their lives, no matter how favored Huang Tian is, no matter how capable he would be, it would be hard to be where he is today!"

"As long as we continue to unite with sincerity and unite as one, the future will surely be even more limitless!"

"I didn't leave the bottom of the sea for thousands of mountains and ink, but I went to Zhongtian Wanguoming. If you persist in this will, you will become eternal, and you will win all battles and open peace!"

Including Gao Lan, all the generals were so excited, their blood boiled, they drew their swords, tapped the armor on their chests, and shouted in unison: "Persist in this will to achieve eternal ambition, and win a hundred battles to achieve peace!"

"it is good!"

Wang Zheng said happily: "Ningping is actually the most important of the three cities, but this belongs to Chen State. After all, we are here to help our comrades this time, so we can't take it rashly. Naturally, we will take Xiangxian County next."

Before the words fell, Gao Lan came out boldly, eagerly vying for the first place: "The last general is willing to make another contribution, congratulations for the general's weak crown!"

"Yi Yuan is brave!" Wang Zheng laughed loudly, and personally helped Gao Lan up: "If you succeed immediately and win the flag, it will be the best gift I will receive!"

"Swear not to disgrace the order of the state shepherd."

When it comes to winning people's hearts, Wang Zheng's methods are not very clever, but he is a person of later generations, and he is actually very casual in getting along with him in private. Great respect indeed.

And these are things that Gao Lan has never experienced with Yuan Shao and his son before!

Born in the Yuan family, the etiquette in dealing with people is perfect and impeccable, but the more capable he is, the more sensitive he is. For example, Gao Lan can see Yuan Shao's arrogance and arrogance under that politeness!
Yuan Tan was even more unbearable, and often couldn't even do superficial writing properly.

So even without Wang Zheng knowing it, Gao Lan has almost been subdued in the past few days. Although the degree of recognition has not yet reached the level where the system pops up a prompt, it is actually very rare.

Seeing that it was getting late and everyone was on their way home, it was still Wang Zheng who rode his horse and rode out first. Dozens of generals yelled loudly and drove their horses closely behind.In the endless plains and grasslands, their heroic figures gradually fade away, blending into the sky and the earth.

Back in the city, it was already night.

Because Yilu is not big, except for Tianzhu camp, other people and horses are camped outside the city, and Gao Lan is no exception.

Not long after he broke up with Wang Zheng and others, he had just arrived in the tent, and before he had time to change his attire, someone outside the tent came to report: "Lieutenant, the state herdsmen and guards have brought a gift!"

"what?"

Before he got out of the tent, Gao Lan heard a very forceful neighing, and he was stunned immediately, showing an expression of disbelief, it's impossible, right?
When I got out of the tent, I saw a tall black horse with a slender neck stepping on its hooves outside the tent under the dim light.

Isn't it the Robber that he envied for a long time in the afternoon?
Gao Lan stood on the spot blankly, speechless for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh.

"Such an enlightened master, to put his heart in someone's belly, is it safe to die?"

Three days later, Gao Lan led only 2000 troops to Xiang County in the west.

Five days later, without any accident, the good news reached Wang Zheng's ears.

Afterwards, Gao Lan, who had rich experience as a surrender general, took the initiative to return to Yilu with some of his own soldiers, and Wang Zheng was very satisfied with the other party's obedience.

Unknowingly, the warm spring of March slipped away quietly, and it was Fangfei's world in April.

The sky in April was as clear as a mirror, making the Central Plains more and more refreshing. It rained for two or three days in a row, cleaning the city and the outside.The sky is blue, the earth is emerald green, and Yilu City, surrounded by mountains, is like a crystal-clear pearl, without the slightest trace of war-torn appearance.

At this time, the follow-up troops also came from Xuzhou one after another, and naturally there was no place to live in the city.

Considering this, Wang Zheng set up camps between Yilu and Xiangxian County, and at the same time began to order some second-line auxiliary soldiers who had no drills and vigilance. For example, part of the Tuntian Army from Pengcheng was led by officers. Started to repair the city wall of Yilu, and chose suitable locations along the west side to build temporary Wubao, watchtowers and the like.

It is non-stop day and night, noisy during the day, and full of fire at night.

If it happens to be a sunny day, tens of miles away, you can see the head of Yilu City, the mountains on the left and right, and the dense forests, filled with Xuzhou's military flags. ——Although in fact, most of the places where the military flag is placed are only guarded by a few soldiers.

But the momentum was astonishing, changing the cover-up of Wang Zheng when he captured Liangcheng.

Naturally, Wang Zheng did this on purpose. He was consciously letting out the wind, not only letting the Yellow Turban in charge of asking for help from Yuzhou know, but also letting the cavalry of Cao Jun who might appear nearby know.

Wang Zheng not only brought soldiers and horses to help, but also a lot of them.
As for how many there are, anyway, it is rumored to be [-] troops!
Of course, Wang Zheng didn't expect Xia Houdun, who was in Yingchuan or Runan at this time, to believe that this number must be worthwhile. As for how many, no one knows.

Just like the Yuzhou Yellow Turban's messenger who went to Xuzhou at that time, he didn't say how many troops Xiahou Dun brought to conquer Kunyang and wiped out Liu Pi.

Including Wang Zheng, he has not found out the truth about the enemy so far.

"Based on the opinion of the last general, at most ten thousand men and horses!"

At the routine daily military meeting, Gao Lan said this.

After a series of meritorious deeds, and Wang Zheng looked at him differently, the attitude of his colleagues in the army has become more and more relaxed these days, which made Gao Lan feel more natural and casual.

Looking at the expressions of the surrounding generals, Gao Lan continued to analyze: "Although Cao Cao's current center of power is in Xudu, the capital of the emperor, the real basic situation is still Yanzhou!"

"There is no room for loss. Yanzhou also has Taishan County, the state herdsman, watching from the sidelines. They all need heavy troops to garrison!"

"How many soldiers and horses can Xiahou Dun bring out to fight the Yuzhou Yellow Turban this time?" Gao Lan said, "According to what the messenger said, Liu Pi was punished and Kunyang fell in mid-March. Well, it’s already April, Runan has been calm so far, and there has been no news from Chen and Liang. What does this mean? Xiahou Dun has been squatting in Kunyang for more than half a month!"

"If there are enough soldiers and horses, why not take advantage of the victory and pursue them?"

Speaking of this, Gao Lan bowed to Wang Zheng, the leader above, and said, "Zhou Mu, in my humble opinion, there is only one possibility, that is, Xiahou Dun has not many troops, so he dare not divide the troops, so Kunyang and Ying must be sent first. Chuanxin's few cities have been digested, and we will go out after Cao Cao's backup takes over!"

"Therefore." Gao Lan repeated firmly: "Xiahou Dun's soldiers and horses are more than [-]!"

Wang Zheng still agrees with his judgment, but if so, there are some puzzles.

"Xiahoudun is a man who knows quite well." He looked around the crowd and said loudly: "This man is indeed a general. He is not only brave, but also strict in running the army. People, such as Dian Wei, Cao Cao's top general now, is said to have been recommended by Xiahou Yuanrang."

"It's just..." At this point, Wang Zheng paused, and then changed the topic abruptly: "His combat style is still straightforward, upright and upright, and he doesn't seem to be good at changing things."

"What does Zhou Mu mean?"

"Liu Pi is not comparable to ordinary yellow scarves," Wang Zheng said in a deep voice, "If Xiahou Dun only had less than [-] soldiers and horses, it would be no problem to win Liu Pi, but nearly [-] people were wiped out, and no one escaped from Yingying." Chuan's record."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to do?"

The veterans present were all battle-tested generals, so they immediately understood Wang Zheng's implication. The difficulty and gold content of the total annihilation battle were naturally far higher than the normal defeat battle!
Especially the opponent Yellow Turban Army is an army accustomed to failure!
If you are used to failure, you will have rich experience in escaping!

Even if the subordinates are ensnared layer by layer, there may be fish that slip through the net, and such an encirclement line itself requires the command ability of the general and the number of soldiers and horses.

Since Liu Pi can be wiped out, according to common sense, Xiahou Dun's troops cannot be less than 3 or [-], right?

You know, according to what Huang Jun and others said, when Liu Pi went to rescue He Yi, Kunyang had not yet fallen, which meant that Xiahou Dun swallowed both of their soldiers and horses in one gulp!

"This..." Gao Lan pondered for a while, but there was no answer: "The last general can't figure it out."

Wang Zheng pondered for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter how many people this one-eyed guy brought here, it doesn't really matter, the important thing is that this fellow must now know that he is about to come to Yuzhou, then... "

He looked at everyone, and his eyes flickered: "Will Cao Jun continue to attack Runan, as well as Chen and Liang?"

"If we attack, when will we attack? Which way will we go?"

　PS:

　　1. Sa Hua, Yu Kou finally got [-] orders last night! ! ! (Wow, it looks awesome)

　　Added in a low voice: In fact, the highest order is only over [-] (so don’t go outside and talk about it, just be yourself, lest my bull face be swollen)
　　2. Before leaving the seabed, thousands of mountains and inks came to Zhongtian Wanguoming. Persevere in this will to achieve eternal ambition, win the battle and open peace!

　　The first two sentences are fragments of poems written by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

　　The last two sentences are the end of the six sentences continued by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

　　The original poem is as follows:

　　Before leaving the bottom of the sea, thousands of mountains and inks, only to reach the Ming Dynasty in Zhongtian.

　　Langlanghaohao illuminates the long night, covering up the countless stars in Weiwei.

　　Dao Tao's great wish was born because of it, and he stood up to help the souls of the common people.

　　Persevere in this will become Yongzhi, win the victory in all battles and open up peace.
