The best counterattack in history: Click to recommend and collect

Pay your soul in exchange for counterattacking life!

I am Xiao Yunfei, a soul counterattacker!
After suppressing all the officials of the imperial court and stabilizing the rear, Cao Cao sent his troops to the Hedong Plain before he had time to prepare, intending to face the Taiping army here!

The army of 30 people versus 70 people was twice the number in number. Taking the initiative to attack them was undoubtedly a matter of hitting an egg with a stone. However, Cao Cao had to do it!
The Taiping army was divided into three groups. If he blindly defended, he would face a strong impact from three directions. Dividing troops to garrison would only make his disadvantages more obvious.

Therefore, after weighing and considering, Cao Cao decided to take the initiative to attack, and also specially invited Xiao Lan to confront the two armies in the Hedong Plain for a decisive battle.

The Taiping Army is sweeping the world, and the soldiers are in full swing. Xiao Lan is even more powerful than Lu Bu. He believes that Xiao Lan will not refuse his invitation to fight, so he can completely put aside all scruples and consider how to fight. Win this battle, win, the world will prosper, lose, and the great man will perish!
Indeed, Xiao Lan will not be afraid, let alone refuse Cao Cao's invitation to fight, because this is not only Cao Cao's calculation, but also his expectation. The last battle, one battle will determine the world, and he wants to completely end this troubled world!
This is the first time that Xiao Lan has actually participated in and commanded such a great battle with millions of people. This is destined to be a day that will be remembered by the history of Mutant Three Kingdoms!
The 70 troops gathered together and set up a joint camp. It was forty or fifty miles away. Xiao Lan raised his tent and gathered generals, but he saw Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai sitting opposite each other. Dao, Dianwei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang Ying, Zhou Tai, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wen Pin, Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin, etc., can be said to be a gathering of stars, and the formation is huge.

"Report!" Not long after everyone was seated, they saw a messenger coming from outside the account to report: "Report to the commander-in-chief, a letter from General Wei Yan, saying that Yizhou has fallen, and the Nanman king led the people to join him. I heard that the commander-in-chief wants to fight Cao Cao. Three generals Gan Ning, Yan Yan, and Zhang Ren, as well as Nanman princes Meng Huo and Mu Lu, led [-] troops to help the battle."

"Ha!" Hearing the news, Xiao Lan couldn't help but chuckled: "Wen Chang has always been steady, but Xing Ba has always been impatient. Come help."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Yizhou is established, and General Wei Yan is leading the army to suppress it. In a short period of time, there will be absolutely no troubles. When the Taiping Constitution is promoted, everything will naturally be on track. Since General Gan Ning led the army to help , for our army, it might not be a bad thing!"

"En." Xiao Lan nodded, but said to himself: "In this battle, our army has 70 soldiers, which is twice the number of Cao Cao. The food and grass are sufficient, and we already have the absolute upper hand. There is really no need to use more troops. Year-round battles are too heavy a burden for the people of the world."

"My lord is benevolent and righteous." Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "In this case, my lord can pass down a military order and order the Taiping Army officers and soldiers in each state to guard their posts. They are not allowed to mobilize the troops without authorization, lest they lose their temper and send troops to help. If the time comes, they will be scared away. It’s not a good thing to kill Cao Aha.”

"Hahahaha." Hearing this, many soldiers in the account couldn't help laughing. If it is true what Xi Zhicai said, all the states will send troops to help, and the number of the Taiping Army will have to double, 140 million troops , although it is not enough to frighten Cao Cao to turn around and run away, it is absolutely terrifying enough.

However, Xiao Lan will not allow this to happen under any circumstances. In order to establish the general trend of the world and win Bingzhou in one fell swoop, he has already mobilized 70 troops. Any more will only cause too much unnecessary consumption, which will be detrimental to the long-term. A world that has gone through war is definitely not a good thing.

Not long after the banquet began, another messenger came to report: "Commander, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu led [-] troops to vote!"

"Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu?" Hearing this, Xiao Lan was slightly taken aback, but soon came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It seems that there is really good news today, let someone invite them in!" In other words, with his current power, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew may not be in his eyes, but Xiao Lan is very interested in the person behind them.

Accompanied by the guards leading out, not long after, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and others were led into the big tent. When they saw Xiao Lan, they hurriedly bowed down and said, "Greetings to Marshal Xiao, thank you to Marshal Tianwei, we are willing to serve Taiping Army, help Marshal Xiao to overthrow the fatuous Han dynasty and bring peace to the world!"

Xiao Lan nodded, and replied calmly: "You can come to serve before our army and Cao Jun. It shows your sincerity, and this commander will not refuse. I only hope that you will be able to work hard and help me to calm down the world as soon as possible! "

The implication is that they accepted Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's votes, and they were so happy that they quickly bowed down again, saying: "I will pay my respects to the lord!"

"Get up and find a seat to sit down. The war is about to begin. If you miss today, the army will ban alcohol." As Xiao Lan spoke, his eyes fell on the middle-aged scribe behind Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew. , Intuition told him that this person is Jia Xu who is known as the poisonous man!
Jia Xu, styled Wenhe, was born in Guzang, Wuwei. Historically, he was a famous counselor and military strategist from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early years of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, and also the founding hero of Cao Wei.Originally a general of Dong Zhuo's army, after Dong Zhuo's death, he proposed Li Jue and Guo Si to counterattack Chang'an.After Li Jue and others failed, they became Zhang Xiu's counselors.Zhang Xiu used his strategy to defeat Cao Cao twice. Before the battle of Guandu, he persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao.

During the Battle of Guandu, Jia Xu advocated a decisive battle with Yuan Shao.Before the Battle of Chibi, he believed that the people should be appeased instead of mobilizing the people to fight against Jiangdong, but Cao Cao refused to listen, and suffered serious setbacks.When Cao Cao and the Guanzhong Allied Forces were in a stalemate in Weinan, Jia Xu offered a divorce plan to disintegrate Ma Chao and Han Sui, allowing Cao Cao to pacify Guanzhong in one fell swoop.

Regarding the determination of Cao Cao's heir, Jia Xu took Yuan Shao and Liu Biao as examples, implying that Cao Cao could not abolish the elders and make the younger ones, thus secretly helping Cao Pi to become the heir.In the first year of Huangchu, Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor and named him Taiwei and Wei Shouxianghou.Cao Pi asked whether Shu or Wu should be destroyed first. Jia Xu suggested that the country should be governed well before using force.

It is true that today, Xiao Lan has many good ministers and counselors under his command, but it is undeniable that Jia Xu's plan is indeed extraordinary. Now that we have encountered it, if we don't recruit them, wouldn't it be a waste of great resources? Chance, at the moment, he raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Mr. Wen He, how are you doing recently?"

Although the middle-aged scribe was calm and composed, he pretended not to hear, but Xiao Lan made a sudden attack after all, and his body couldn't help trembling. Although it was very slight, how could he hide it from Xiao Lan.

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Xiao Lan laughed directly: "Mr. Zeng Wenhe was inspected as Xiaolian in his early years and resigned due to illness. He returned to his hometown to the west and arrived in Qiandi. On the way, he met rebellious Di people and dozens of people with him They were captured together by the Di people. At that time, Taiwei Duan Jiong, because he had been a frontier general for a long time, was powerful in the west, so Wen He pretended to be Duan Jiong's grandson, and lured him with a lot of money in exchange for his safety. I don't know what the commander said. right?"

With a wry smile, the middle-aged scribe immediately turned around, faced Xiao Lan, and responded bitterly: "I have long heard that Xiao Dingtian, Generalissimo of the Taiping Army Pingtian, is a celestial being. Seeing him today, he is truly extraordinary!"

Xiao Lan said indifferently: "Mr. Wen He is not an ordinary person. He planned to counterattack Chang'an, causing Lu Bu to leave Chang'an, and Wang Yun to jump to his death. Thinking about it, General Zhang Ji was able to break out of the encirclement of Cao Cao's army, and Mr. Wisdom is also indispensable. count."

As soon as this statement came out, many people present couldn't help being shocked in their hearts. If what my lord said was true, then this Jia Xu is really a person not to be underestimated!
Jia Xu was immediately flattered and said: "The commander-in-chief has won the award, how can this little skill be compared with the commander-in-chief's sweeping the world? It's like a firefly compared to the bright moon!"

"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe!" Xiao Lan suddenly shouted: "You are a smart man. Since you have joined this handsome man, you should know what choice you should make, right?"

"My lord!" Jia Xu bowed down without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing out loud, and said in his mouth: "Okay, very good, the decisive battle against Cao Cao is imminent, and getting the help of a great talent like Mr. Wen He is better than adding another [-] troops. There are some chances of winning, come and give me a seat and a drink!"
