Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 731 The general dies!
The wind was fierce, blood was flowing, and corpses were everywhere.

Luo Yan was wearing a black armor and scarlet robe, with a stern look on her face. She led the Qingzhou generals to gallop forward, with the horse spear in her hand inserted into the side of the horse. The red blood stained the white hair of the horse, like snow. All red.

Opposite the Qingzhou Army, Yuan Shao led the ministers of the Zhao State to come. Flags surrounded the Chinese army's chariot. He held on to the frame of the chariot, and his red cloak was slightly raised behind him.

Luo Yan turned over and dismounted gracefully, clasped his fists and bowed: "I, the Governor of Qingzhou, Yan, pays homage to your Majesty. I am late, please forgive me."

Yuan Shao looked at the heroic Luo Yan, his eyes full of smiles, and he laughed loudly: "Zi Yan has a flat body.

This great victory relies on you to revive Qingzhou, and you have beheaded many people. It is really the first achievement, so why are you guilty? "

Yuan Shao and others did not expect that Luo Yan could bring so many troops out of Qingzhou.

According to previous calculations, the maximum number was 4, but unexpectedly there were [-] more soldiers.

The group of people surrounded Yuan Shao and Luo Yan back to the camp. The atmosphere was very warm, and the worries they felt when leaving Hebei were swept away.

After everyone was seated, Yuan Shao looked at everyone and laughed loudly: "My dear friends, it seems that I was too worried before.

Cao and Liu came with great momentum, but few princes in the world responded. Doesn't this mean that the Han Dynasty has exhausted its strength?
I once heard the sages say that the general trend of the world is like the tide. The ebb and flow of the tide are all determined.

Now the Han Dynasty is like the sunset in the west. If our Zhao country does not take advantage of the situation, won't we miss a good opportunity? "

Yuan Shao's words were full of sonorous sound, and the ministers of the Zhao Kingdom immediately knew that Yuan Shao had decided to conquer the Central Plains in a battle, and then pacify the world.

Yuan Shao looked at the ministers of Zhao State with shining eyes.

What is the Way of Guangwu?

Is it what Liu Bei is saying now?
joke!

I, Yuan Shao, sent troops from Jizhou and Qingzhou to capture Yanzhou and Yuzhou, then captured Xuzhou, and completely occupied the five states of the Central Plains. This is called the way of Guangwu!

Ju Shou and Tian Feng looked at each other. They were typical conservatives in Zhao Kingdom.

Unwilling to start a war without permission, the previous advice given to Yuan Shao was to stick to Hebei and wait for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to go on an expedition.

But in the end Yuan Shao decided to take the initiative to fight.

However, the situation of the war soon exceeded both expectations.

Lu Bu bucked the trend and was willing to join Zhao.

The alliance between Yan and Zhao freed Zhao from worries and enabled it to go out in force.

Luo Yan made great achievements in Qingzhou.

The general trend created by Cao Cao and Liu Bei by using the remaining power of the Han Dynasty actually felt like it was collapsing.

This made everyone feel happy and unprepared. At this moment, they were discussing the next strategic plan.

Xun Chen was the mastermind, and he immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that Cao Liu has suffered a setback, he must take a rest.

The governor of Hanoi surrendered to the Han Dynasty. I thought I should take advantage of this opportunity and sent a division to capture Hanoi County first.

In this way, we can occupy all the land in Hebei and relieve the pressure on our army's right wing.

Bingzhou's army can also avoid the eyes and ears when it goes south.

The governor of Hanoi, the leader of both sides, surrendered to Cao Cao and should be killed. "

Tian Feng disagreed and said: "Your Majesty, the Anyang Han family is guarding the area between Hanoi County and Jizhou, and there is a river blocking it, so there is no threat to our army for the time being.

But Taishan County is the key that hinders the connection between our army and Qingzhou.

The two states of Hebei and Qing are the foundation of our Zhao country.

Taishan County is in Liu Bei's hands, and the food and grass our army comes from Qingzhou is in danger at all times.

The governor sent Gao Lan to besiege Taishan County, which made the minister deeply uneasy.

Now we should go to Taishan County first, open up the two prefectures of Hebei and Qing Dynasties, and form a semi-encirclement of Cao and Liu, which can also relieve the pressure on our left wing. "

Xun Chen frowned and said: "Yuan Hao is joking, Taishan County is easy to defend but difficult to attack, with high mountains and dense forests. It has been a gathering place for bandits since ancient times.

Not to mention Liu Xuande's regular army, even the bandits lurking in Taishan County, Liu Xuande has occupied Taishan for so many years, but has not yet wiped them out.

How easy is it for our army to attack? "

Tian Feng replied: "Liu Xuande is just pretending to be benevolent and trying to win over.

Our army attacks, sets fire to the mountains, poisons the water, and captures every bandit.

Three rivers are integrated into one, and if Hedong and Henan are not in our hands, how can we conquer Hanoi?
Will troops be deployed at the pass crossings from Henan to Hanoi? "

The two actually quarreled directly.

Shen Pei, who has an arbitrary character and is also the commander-in-chief, said: "Your Majesty, our army is now strong.

Cao Liu had just suffered a setback, so why not invite Bingzhoumu to go south in Yanzhou and win a quick victory.

Our allied forces were strong and defeated Cao and Liu. Hanoi County and Taishan County became isolated counties, but they were just doing it conveniently. "

Upon hearing what the judge said, Xun Chen and Tian Feng snorted coldly at the same time.

The three people in Zhao's high-level adviser group took three different routes, which suddenly put Yuan Shao in a dilemma. He looked at Luo Yan and asked, "Does Ziyan have any ideas?"

Luo Yan shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, what the three military advisors said makes sense.

Now our army has the upper hand. Once Bingzhoumu's army joins in, it can even be said to be a overwhelming victory.

The initiative is in the hands of our army, it just depends on what you want, Your Majesty. "

Yuan Shao rubbed his brows, feeling a little confused. He waved his hands and sighed, "Let me think about it for a moment. All the beloved ministers should retreat first. Scouts should be sent out. Be careful to be on guard against Cao and Liu's attack on the camp."

Everyone stepped out of the camp, and Jushou whispered to himself: "These three choices are almost the same, just choose any one.

Is there anything to hesitate about considering this? "

Luo Yan happened to pass by Ju Shou, and when he heard this sentence, he immediately stopped and frowned: "The king must have wanted a perfect strategy."

In the camp, Yuan Shao couldn't help but think about these three suggestions.

He thought about what Zhao Guo needed most now, but he felt that he needed everything.

"These three suggestions all have shortcomings and may have irreversible consequences for the situation. What should we do?"

Yuan Shao felt that he had never been so sad.

……

After Cao and Liu experienced a small defeat, they were under a lot of pressure.

The name of this war is counterinsurgency.

But if they are defeated by the rebels, it will be a disaster for the world.

At that time, there will be a new explanation of who is the rebel and who is the king's master.

"Why?"

This is the common sentiment of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, "Has the Han Dynasty reached the point where some people are openly rebelling, but no one is attacking them?"

"no!"

Looking at the anxious Cao Cao, Xun Yu said comfortingly: "Prime Minister, Yuan Shao's strength lies in the Youzhou cavalry.

The current plan is to send an envoy to Guanzhong. Ma Tenghan then has the Xiliang cavalry, which can be used as a strong reinforcement to defeat Yuan Shao. The two of them have a reputation for loyalty and will definitely send troops. "Loyalty?"

Cao Cao almost laughed out loud on the spot, but he knew that Xun Yu would never take the target without aim, so he asked: "What should I do if I don't want to send Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack thousands of miles away?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said: "Prime Minister just needs to say clearly that after Yuan Shao conquers the Central Plains, half of the world will be in Yuan Shao's hands, and all the nobles of the Han Dynasty will no longer exist.

If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?

Can one of the princes still maintain his position if he keeps the mission and guards the pass?

The counselors and generals under Yuan Shao's command and the soldiers in Hebei have empty hands! "

Cao Cao stood up awkwardly, walked around for two weeks, gritted his teeth and said: "Wen Ruo, send an edict to Han Sui and Ma Teng, promising ten thousand marquises.

Then he issued an edict to the Xiliang generals, and those who were willing to lead troops would be granted the title of marquis afterwards and formally canonized as prefects.

In the name of all the former emperors, he issued an edict to Liu Biao, reprimanding him. If he was unwilling to send troops, he would be deprived of his position as Jingzhou Shepherd. "

Everyone was shocked. Cao Cao was really bleeding and courageous.

……

A month ago, Bingzhou.

Lu Bu finished preparing, Zhang Liao, all the generals under Lu Bu and more than [-] Bingzhou wolf cavalry were all ready to go.

Lu Bu patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and said: "Xiaofu, I will lead the army on this trip, and I will leave Bingzhou to you. If there is danger, you must ensure the safety of my wife."

Gao Shun didn't say anything, but just nodded to show that he knew that he was afraid of Gao Shun and Lu Bu, but he also knew that Gao Shun was loyal, but it was a pity that their personalities were really at odds.

After explaining Gao Shun, Lu Bu led the soldiers of Bingzhou to attack, crossed Hanoi, and then went around to the rear to attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army.

Bingzhou was the land of Zhao State at that time, with rivers and mountains to the west, Taihang Mountains to the east, Luliang Mountains to the south, and several basins in the middle that could be used for farming. It is said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful in shape, and the Great Wall is built in the north, which is a natural place for separatism.

But it is also very difficult to attack from Bingzhou. In addition to walking north to the grassland, entering other areas requires walking on mountain roads or crossing rivers.

Hanoi County.

Since Yuan Shao suddenly became king, the atmosphere in the county has been quite strange. After all, Hanoi County is too close to Yecheng in Jizhou, but the prefect is leaning towards the imperial court.

Who can't be anxious about this?
But some people are not in a hurry.

There is a large family in Hanoi County, the Sima family. This Sima family has nothing to do with Sima Qian, but another branch. It is inherited from the ancient Xia official Sima. In the Later Han Dynasty, it was a prominent family with two thousand officials.

This generation can be said to be full of talented people, the most famous of which are the two brothers Sima Lang and Sima Yi. They are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and are good at morality. They are quite famous among scholars.

Sima Yi was unwilling to serve as an official and only studied classics in his family, but no one looked down upon him.

According to gossip, it was he who helped the prefect survive when Wushuang Zhongwuhou wanted to kill him.

The situation in Hanoi has been turbulent in recent years, but the Sima family has always been a guest and has to recognize his ability.

Guan Hai looked at Sima Yi who looked a little gloomy in front of him, sighed and asked: "Zhongda Gong, what should we do now? Yuan Shao can actually defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Hanoi is in danger."

Sima Yi drank the tea and said calmly: "Master, please don't panic, the situation in the world can change overnight.

Now the princes in the world are waiting and watching, so Yuan Shao is cooking the oil with fierce fire, but the wise people in the world have their own concerns.

See it.

Yuan Shao will be defeated!

Instead of worrying about Yuan Shao, it is better to pay attention to Bingzhou Tiger, Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian.

I got the news that Lu Bu is going south to assist Yuan Shao! "

"how is this possible?"

Guan Hai was horrified and said: "Why would Lu Bu..."

He was speechless, and Sima Yi slowly said: "This is Lu Bu. He doesn't have the appearance of a master, so he would do such a thing.

Mr. Fu needs to make preparations early! "

……

Mount Tai.

Gao Lan obeyed Luo Yan's order and led the Qingzhou cavalry to block the mountains outside Fenggao and keep an eye on Fenggao.

He is a famous general in Hebei, one of the former Four Court Pillars of Hebei, and now one of the highest-ranking generals in the Zhao Kingdom.

After this battle is over, Yuan Shao will become emperor in the future. There is a high probability that he will be one of the most important generals of the Zhao Kingdom, with a bright future.

After nearly a month of guarding, Gao Lan felt something was wrong, "Liu Bei's army in Fenggao City is too calm. Our army's food and grass are constantly being transported to Yanzhou, and they don't even look at it?"
Are you going out of town at night?
Are you preparing for something big? "

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, thinking that Liu Beijun would never sit still and wait for death, so he immediately sent people to investigate, and sure enough he saw someone sneaking out of Fenggao City at night!

The purpose was soon discovered, to contact bandits and bandits to rob the food and supplies from Qingzhou. The intention must be said to be extremely sinister.

He immediately wanted to attack, but then he thought about Luo Yan's instructions to him to just keep an eye on Feng Gao and watch the grain road, so he hesitated a little.

Taishan Road, between mountain cols.

In the end, thousands of Qingzhou cavalry led by Gao Lan, who chose to attack, encountered thousands of Xuzhou troops lined with swords and guns.

The leader of the general, who was muscular, wore black armor, and held a big bow. When he saw Gao Lan appear, he immediately shouted angrily: "I am the Grand Master of Donglai, Cishi. Come and I will be known to you as soon as possible!"

Tai Shici!
Gao Lan's heart sank. It was indeed him. Taishi Ci had a reputation for guarding Mount Tai, and he also learned about it in Hebei.

Riding his horse, he shouted: "I am the general of the State of Zhao, and I am the general of the State of Zhao.

Taishi Ci, you have been hiding in high places and have not gone out to fight for a long time. Today, you will behead you here! "

Taishi Ci sneered, raised his bow and shot, "Thieves, take one of my arrows first!"

This arrow was powerful and heavy, Gao Lan quickly dodged it, Taishi Ci rushed forward, all Xuzhou armies moved forward together, and there were loud shouts all over the mountains and plains.

There were even voices shouting for death coming from behind Gao Lan. He knew that he must have been ambushed, and he suddenly felt frightened.

I don’t understand where the problem is!
But the situation at the scene was too late for him to think too much. Taishi Ci had already come to kill him, and he had nowhere to escape if he wanted to. The two of them were fighting each other. Gao Lan was also a fierce general, but facing Taishi Ci, he could only say that he should not escape. Worse, the two fought faster and faster, and the soldiers around them couldn't even intervene.

After waiting for a hundred moves, Gao Lan made an oversight and was hit by Taishi Ci's halberd due to lack of strength. If it weren't for the protective mirror, he would have died on the spot.

Gao Lan, who fell under his horse, only saw a net falling directly, leaving no room for struggle. However, he heard Tai Shici loudly say: "Gao Lan, I see you are a strong man. If you are willing to kneel down and surrender, I will spare your life."

surrender?

This is probably the only chance to survive.

However, the entire army was wiped out in this battle, betraying the trust and trust of King Zhao and the Governor, and even the food route might be in danger.

Think back to family reputation.

As soon as he thought of this, Gao Lan shouted: "Come and kill as much as you can, but never surrender."

Taishi Ci saw Gao Lan's determination and threw the iron halberd directly!

----

There are four courtyard pillars in Shao. One of them is Gao Lan, who is brave and powerful, loyal and fierce. During the battle of Guandu, Luo Yan stationed himself at Mount Tai. Taishi Ci wanted to surrender, so Lan said: "The general who defeated the army will be buried in the great responsibility of my lord. You should die, how can the people of Hebei surrender and be humiliated?" Then he died. ——"Book of Wei: General Yuan's Family"
