The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zheng glanced at Yuan Shao, he was not as irritable as Yuan Shao, and just greeted Yuan Shao in a flat manner.

What greeted him was only Yuan Shao's cold snort.

"Hmph, Liu Zheng, didn't Xuzhou agree to return it to me? What do you want to do now?"

Liu Zheng frowned and asked indifferently.

"Yuan Benchu, I should be asking you this question. What do you want to do now? This Guangling County does not belong to Xuzhou. This is my territory. You led people to kill my men and horses and occupied my two cities. , Do you want to tear up the alliance and go to war directly?"

When asked by Liu Zheng, Yuan Shao blushed, but he changed the subject right away.

"That's why you attacked Xuzhou first, and then I attacked Guangling County."

"I attacked Xuzhou, shouldn't you thank me? If it wasn't for me, you must have been beheaded by Guan Yu in Tan County by now."

"I tried my best to help you, but instead of thanking me, you came to snatch my territory. Yuan Benchu, you are really ambitious, and you will repay your kindness with revenge."

Liu Zheng said a few words to Yuan Shao forcefully, and Yuan Shao was speechless immediately, but the angry Yuan Shao was still very angry, he knew that he couldn't speak to Liu Zheng.

Instead of talking nonsense with Liu Zheng, he directly ordered his nephew Gao Gan to lead an army of [-] to charge.

Wait until Liu Zheng is captured alive before talking nonsense with Liu Zheng.

8 Chapter Forty

Gao Gan was born in the Gao family of Chenliu, and his father Gao Gong was the prefect of Shu County.

The Gao family is also considered a famous family, and has a relationship with the Yuan family in Runan. Gao Gan's mother is Yuan Shao's younger sister, so Gao Gan wants to call Yuan Shao uncle.

Yuan Shao also attaches great importance to his nephew. The high-ranking cadres in history used to be the governor of Bingzhou after Yuan Shao unified the north. The posts of governors under Yuan Shao were all held by his sons. How highly valued.

Even now, Gao Gan is the governor of Qingzhou appointed by Yuan Shao, responsible for all affairs of Qingzhou. This time he came to support Yuan Shao, and he also brought all the troops of Gao Gan.

Under the command of Yuan Shao, the [-] troops, under the personal command of senior cadres and judges, rushed directly to the place where Liu Zheng was.

Around Liu Zheng, there are only more than [-] troops from Wenpin, and the [-] camps commanded by Lu Bu.

With the enemy's charge, Liu Zheng didn't need to personally command the battle. After all, these soldiers and horses, a mere 2 people, were not enough to attract Liu Zheng's attention.

The more than ten thousand soldiers and horses led by Wenpin are enough to deal with it.

Now Wenpin can be regarded as Liu Zheng's general who can recruit and fight well. When Yuan Jun started to act, he immediately took the initiative to step forward to command his own soldiers and horses, and began to confront Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.

Liu Zheng only sat in the center, watching the soldiers and horses on the battlefield, and began to attack each other.

Yuan Shao didn't have any cavalry, they were all infantry, and all the cavalry under him were led by Wen Chou to attack Huai'an County.

There are only some high-ranking cadres around him, the infantry brought over from Qingzhou, these soldiers and horses are naturally not the same level of opponents when they meet Wen Pin's army.

Although there are 2 people, they do not have any advantage under Wenpin.

However, Yuan Shao and Wenpin were fighting under the Huai'an city at this time, and there was a lot of movement. Huai'an city was not far away, and Wen Chou and others on the tower had been paying attention to the movement outside the city, so they soon discovered it.

When Wen Chou saw the battle under the city, he knew that Yuan Shao had come from Huaiyin City to support him. He didn't think about anything else, so he and Jiang Qi led the [-] cavalry in the city and killed them out of the city. Fight for the army.

Originally, the 2 cavalry of Yuan Shao's headquarters had no chance of winning against the people hired by Wen Chou. Fortunately, there were 2 cavalry of Wen Chou in the city.

After all, they are cavalry, and they still have a strong deterrent ability on the battlefield. In addition, there are another 2 troops charging on a huge plain outside Huai'an City. As long as the command is good, it can really bring a lot to Wenpin. blow.

The sound of horseshoes gradually came from the gates on both sides of Huai'an City.

Wen Chou did not open the city gate from the nearest city gate and let the cavalry in his own city charge out, but bypassed the nearest city gate and dispatched cavalry to charge from the gates on the other two sides.

Only in this way can the cavalry be given enough distance to launch a more powerful offensive.

Wenpin's troops stopped these cavalry, but in fact there were only half of them, barely 1.

It is not so easy to block these cavalrymen. After contact, these cavalrymen showed their strength.

A charge brought a great blow to Wenpin's infantry, but fortunately, Wenpin's men and horses were all well-trained and knew how to deal with cavalry. They formed a tight battle formation one by one, but they did not The first time was washed away.

In this way, there is a chance to resist these cavalry.

Liu Zheng looked back, and realized that the situation in the rear was at a disadvantage, and his face changed slightly. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses fighting Yuan Shao in the front had a great advantage, and they had killed more than half of Gao Gan's men. .

Even Yuan Shao had already been killed by some of Wenpin's assault squads. Under the cover of a few guards, Yuan Shao himself joined the battle and fought on his horse with a three-foot green spear.

After seeing this scene, Liu Zheng's face immediately showed an evil smile.

He turned his head first, and gave instructions to Lu Bu beside him.

"General Fengxian, you immediately lead your subordinate camp to stop Wen Chou. Be sure to block Wen Chou, and don't let his cavalry approach the main battlefield!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Lu Bu nodded immediately after receiving the order, held Fang Tian's painted halberd, and led Gao Shun directly to the rear battlefield to kill, intending to support the infantry.

After Lu Bu left, Liu Zheng immediately glanced at another commander, Zhang Kai.

Liu Zheng has always had three subordinates, the Commander of Jin Yiwei.

One positive, two pairs.

It was Yuan Zhou. Generally, Yuan Zhou would not leave Imperial Jianye. He had to handle all kinds of news from across the country in Jianye, and then pass it on to Liu Zheng.

The other two Jinyiwei deputy commanders followed Liu Zheng. One of them was Dian Wei, who was in charge of guards, and the other was Zhang Kai, who was in charge of intelligence and assassination.

Zhang Kai has never demonstrated his ability, but this time Liu Zheng feels that his chance has come.

Liu Zheng immediately called Zhang Kai, and Zhang Kai led the order to come to Liu Zheng.

"What's your majesty's order?"

"Zhang Kai, did you see that Yuan Shao? At this time he is surrounded by our army. Although he is still fighting in the corner, as long as he is killed, the battle will be completely over. I heard that you are good at assassination. Let me let you go today." Make a show of it and kill Yuan Shao."

Liu Zheng appointed people on their merits, and gave Zhang Kai a word of advice.

Zhang Kai knew that this was his chance to express himself.

He didn't refuse at the moment, nodded and took over the task with fists in his hands.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter will be settled."

After Zhang Kai finished speaking, he drew his sword from his waist and rushed to the battlefield.

Zhang Kai's figure was not tall, he didn't ride a horse, he was just mingling among the thousands of troops, not conspicuous, pretending to fight the enemy soldiers, he was gradually approaching Yuan Shao's side.

If you don't observe carefully, a person like Zhang Kai who is not prominent in appearance and stature is thrown on the battlefield, and it is difficult to attract others' attention.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Kai approached Yuan Shao in a very short time. Yuan Shao was still fighting with several soldiers under Wenpin's command, and he didn't notice that a figure of the enemy army had come behind him, and his eyes were closed. Stared at him firmly.

Excitedly, Yuan Shao fought several enemy soldiers again and beheaded several of Wen Pin's soldiers.

The insignificant enemy who came behind him moved again, jumped up, raised his long sword and stabbed Yuan Shao in the back.

The black shadow flashed past at an extremely fast speed. Before Yuan Shao could react, the long sword had already pierced Yuan Shao's chest.

passing through his chest.

Chapter 841 Xuzhou Settlement

Yuan Shao slashed forward with his sword, cut off the spear of the enemy soldier, and killed an enemy soldier in front of him.

He couldn't remember clearly, this was the number of enemies he had killed, but this feeling would make him feel excited, the excitement of fighting in the battlefield for a lifetime.

It's just that he hadn't been excited for a long time, and suddenly felt a chill behind him followed by a sharp pain.

He lowered his head and saw that there was actually a long sword protruding from his chest. The blood on the sword was obviously pierced through his chest from behind.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shao felt that blood was continuously overflowing from the corner of his mouth for a day, and his whole body was filled with a sense of fatigue, and he began to lose control of his body.

At this moment, the originally excited face also froze, and the eyes gradually dimmed.

At this moment Yuan Shao knew that he was finished.

This sword had already killed him, even a god descending to earth would not be able to save him, he knew he was going to die.

I just feel that my time is running out, Yuan Shao's eyes and ears can't see clearly, and he can't hear anything.

Before he died, scenes of what happened and experienced in his life flashed before his eyes.

Because he was a concubine when he was a child, Yuan Shao was bullied all the time in the Yuan family, and the scenes of Yuan Shu, Yuan Ji and others bullying him passed by one by one.

Later, Yuan Shao was adopted by his uncle Yuan Cheng, and he became the first son of the Yuan family, and his status changed again.

Those who made friends when they were young, celebrity knights.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yuan Shao really started to step into the imperial court and was conquered by General He Jin.

In the next few years, the relationship between the great general He Jin and the eunuchs continued to be promoted, their conflicts were triggered, and the chaos in the world was caused by Yuan Shao and even the Yuan family.

Yuan Jiagui was in charge of the imperial court for the fourth generation and third lord. He was the most powerful family in the dynasty. Their disciples all over the world had concerns. At their level, it was impossible to go any further.

A step further is that kings with different surnames will be named as marquises, but their goal is far from that. They want to directly replace the Han Dynasty.

That's why the battle between the general and the eunuch was designed, in an attempt to use their struggle to finally win the fruit of victory.

They made a wrong calculation, and there was a variable Liu Zheng in the middle.

This made the Yuan family's ambition and plan to annex the world come to nothing.

Later, Yuan Shao set up a coalition of princes to attack He Miao.

Later, he supported Liu Yu as emperor and named himself a general.

In fact, at this time, Yuan Shao had already replaced the Yuan family and gradually walked towards the last step of the Yuan family.

It's a pity that he didn't have this life, and was defeated by Liu Zheng on this battlefield.

When the last picture flashed in front of him, Yuan Shao's eyes went dark, and he fell off his horse and died.

Yuan Shao died.

This hero who should have died in the Battle of Guandu a few years later in history, just died like this.

His death detonated a heavy bomb on this battlefield.

Gao Gan, the nephew who was originally guarding Yuan Shao by his side, was dumbfounded when he saw his uncle, Yuan Shao died.

"uncle!"

Gao Gan roared, and immediately pushed away the people around him and rushed to Yuan Shao's side, helping Yuan Shao on the ground.

But at this time Yuan Shao couldn't call back.

Gao Gan roared angrily, such words would only bring him worse news, and the soldiers around Yuan Shao panicked after hearing Gao Gan shouting that Yuan Shao was dead.

The lord lives and dies, and no one can command the army.

On this battlefield, Yuan Jun's morale dropped instantly. Even Yuan Jun's soldiers, who were still struggling to kill, were all panicked when they heard the news of Yuan Shao's death.

And those outsiders knew that this battle had no chance of winning, and began to flee.

After a trial match, Ji Feng and the others immediately ordered to retreat, and they no longer wanted to fight, the lord was dead, so they were still fighting.

Yuan Shao's life and death, this is a major event, after all Yuan Shao has not yet appointed a crown prince.What followed was a struggle for power, and Shen Pei, Ji Feng and the others had to find a way out for themselves in advance.

So they had to return to Yuan Shao's territory with the remaining soldiers and horses to assist the new lord.

There was still a battle just now, but after seeing Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses retreating, he also knew that he could not continue here, otherwise he would be surrounded by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses from behind, and then he would be trapped in Huai'an City again.

So Wen Chou yelled at Jiang Qi to retreat.

The two teamed up and led [-] cavalry to rush out from the battlefield to break through.

After all, their men are cavalry, and the mobility and charge ability of the cavalry is far from what Liu Zheng's current infantry can match.

I can only watch Wen Chou and Jiang Qi escape from here.

But even if they escaped, Wen Chou and Jiang Qi's soldiers suffered heavy losses here, and not all [-] troops could leave the battlefield.

Half of the people who can break through and walk away are pretty good.

Even if they were able to break through, Tan County had already been attacked by Guan Hai's troops, and they had no place to supply for a while, so they could only flee back to Qingzhou.

Liu Zheng didn't send anyone to pursue him, because he still had to clean up the battlefield and reoccupy Huaiyin, Huai'an and other places.

An hour later, the fighting near Huai'an City subsided.

Liu Zheng won the battle.

Not only beheaded Yuan Shao and more than [-] men and horses under him, but also directly kept Yuan Shao here forever, solving a serious problem in his heart.

Without Yuan Shao, Liu Zheng felt much more comfortable.
