Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1650 Three Great Princes' Alliance Six

"Damn guy!" Lu Bu watched Zhao Yun and Ju Yi join forces, but he could only stand in front of the moat, and his eyes were filled with anger.

Back and forth, it was a mess of calculations.

Seemingly undefeated.

But it failed miserably.

From the time Zhao Yun entered Yecheng, he was basically counted against, one ring after another, whether it was attacking the inner city, cavalry hedging, or splitting troops to break through, they all seemed to be targeting him.

"Lu Fengxian, don't send it away, next time we fight, a certain family will take your head!"

Zhao Yun, dressed in white and silver armor, rode his horse in front of the moat, holding a silver spear in his hand and screaming. The sound waves rippling in the sky, the entire Beicheng soldiers seemed to be able to hear it.

After saying that, they started to retreat. Ju Yi and Zhao Yun teamed up, even Lu Bu didn't dare to charge rashly. Once they got stuck, they might not be able to get out.

So he could only watch them leave.

....................................

"Ming Jin, withdraw troops!" On the frontal battlefield, Liu Bei had already received the news, he smiled with satisfaction, and ordered.

The goal of this battle has already been achieved, and it is not appropriate to provoke at this time.

If the defenders in the city were really provoked to blood, that would be a desperate battle. There was no hope of capturing Yecheng. A bloody battle would be bad for him. He didn't have such a mind.

"Ming Jin!"

"withdraw troops!"

"withdraw!"

The Yan army withdrew like a tide.

"Let them succeed!"

On the top of the wall, Jia Xu's face was livid.

This battle was fought grievously, seemingly without any loss, but they were swaggered, but under the current situation, they can only swallow their own broken teeth.

"Even Lu Bu and Yan Xing can't stop them?" Zhang Yan's complexion was also ugly.

"It's nothing more than a trick. Although Lu Bu and Yan Xing are fierce generals, they are good at fighting and not good at certain things. They can fight for one side's military power on the battlefield. They are not good enough to plan and move later, and they can't keep up with changes!"

Jia Xu said in a cold voice: "They are a group of light cavalry who come directly from the trail and then burn the inner city. They all attack and need to worry too much about defense. As long as the speed is fast enough, our cavalry can't keep up with them. They have a chance of success!"

Although many things are done after the fact, they still need to have the thinking to speculate. Jia Xu's thinking is very careful, and there is no problem in guessing.

From the result, he can reverse the process.

"If they do this, there will be losses, and they will get nothing in the end!"

Zhang Yan was a little puzzled.

"already got"

Jia Xu said with a sneer: "One side of the princes can't eat this piece of fat in Hebei, and it is a foregone conclusion that the princes of the Han Dynasty joined forces to fight against the Ming Dynasty. The next step is to negotiate. Before the negotiation, they made us suffer such a big loss." , it is already Zhang Yang’s combat power, as long as they persist in the negotiation, then we have to consider the price we will pay for fighting Yan Jun!”

It's called deterrence.

The Yan army lost Yecheng, and they could only achieve the desired negotiation results with direct combat power, otherwise it would be impossible to join forces with the Wei army and Wu army.

"Is this called an invisible concession?"

Zhang Yan reacted quickly. He was not stupid to be in charge of Montenegro, but the overall situation of the Central Plains was still a little strange to her.

Jia Xu said it so bluntly, of course he could quickly understand it.

"That's it!"

Jia Xu took a deep breath and said: "Although the Yan army has retreated, it may not stop there. You ordered it to go down and let all the ministries be vigilant. One mistake can take over, but the second time, it means we are incompetent. The current situation, We have already lost points in front of the king, whether it is me, you, Lu Bu, Yan Xing, because of the defeat in this battle, the credit will be halved, if we lose again, it will not be credit, but guilt!"

"Don't worry, sir, I have already arranged defenses. I will personally sit on the top of the city and never let them go beyond half a step!" Zhang Yan nodded.

"There is no need to worry about the matter of Montenegro. Liu Xuande doesn't dare to turn his back on him now, so he can only surround him if possible, and dare not slaughter. After the negotiation, even if Heishan can't get it back, the king will let the people of Heishan move down!"

Jia Xu knew what Zhang Yan was worried about at this time. Hebei had already been occupied by the Yan army, and Montenegro was very dangerous. If the Yan army was brave enough to pay the price, it would not be impossible to slaughter Montenegro.

"Thank you sir, Montenegro can be safe, and we will definitely go through fire and water in the future, no matter what!" Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, not a reassurance, but at least he was not so worried.

"I want to go out of the city to meet the king in person. This matter still needs to be decided by the king. I will leave the city to you. No matter what time it is, Yecheng must be defended to the death!" Jia Xu thought for a while and said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Yan nodded.

....................................

Jia Xu left the city that day, traveled southward day and night, entered the Inner Yellow City under the darkness of night.

"The last general, Jia Xu, pays homage to His Majesty, disturbed His Majesty's sleep at night, please punish him!"

He went south at starry night, not for rest, so he woke up Cao Cao at night.

"It's okay!"

Cao Cao had a headache recently, so he was not in good spirits and couldn't sleep, so he didn't worry about him. He didn't feel too angry when he saw Jia Xu.

But his expression was not good, he looked at Jia Xu and said, "You went south in person, is there any change in Yecheng?"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Yan's army attacked the city, Ming repaired the plank road to cover Chencang secretly, feigned an attack on the outer city, entered the city by small roads, and attempted to burn the inner city. Yecheng was on the defensive, and lost, so I came here to plead guilty!"

"Yan Jun was able to enter the city by a small road, which was beyond Gu's expectation!"

Cao Cao smiled lightly, and said, "However, Lü Bu is in the city, and he can't kill the invading enemy. This person makes Gu a little interested!"

"This general is the young fierce general beside Liu Bei, Changshan Zhao Yun, and it is rumored that he is the closed disciple of the gun prodigy Tongyuan!" Jia Xu has already figured out the news, and the night tower is not a decoration. Although some news networks have failed, but what he knows , Not a lot, it's not too difficult to know the details of a person.

"He is good at cavalry combat. He is a junior in riding skills, and his marksmanship is superb. He is even better than blue. He has surpassed the realm of spear masters in the past. Now he can fight General Lu. He has less than a hundred rounds, and he is indistinguishable!"

"The cavalry under his command is the white horse righteousness that Gongsun Zan became famous back then, and was invincible across the grasslands. The combat effectiveness of the white horse righteousness may not necessarily be as strong as the Bingzhou flying cavalry, but in terms of speed, it is a fast cavalry that comes and goes without wind. , unless it is prepared in advance, it will be difficult to intercept!"

"And Zhao Yun is a rare general!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands and reported: "This man is not only determined by martial arts, but also talented in leading troops, especially cavalry. Not to mention his treacherous thoughts, his orders are consistent with his actions. Whether it is control or command ability, it is extraordinary!"

"It's a pity that such a general is Liu Xuande's subordinate!" Cao Cao felt a little regretful. He hoped that all the famous generals in the world would gather under his command. Unfortunately, things backfired. Wei Jun's generals became more and more withered. There are not many, but there are countless rising stars in Beiyan and Soochow.

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande got the upper hand in this battle, I'm sorry Your Majesty!" Jia Xu knelt down and said, "Minister, please forgive me!"

"Don't make excuses at every turn!"

Cao Cao still holds Jia Xu in high regard, otherwise he would not have given Yelou into his hands. Now Yelou is Cao Wei's eyes and ears, and he cannot be controlled unless he is trusted.

He helped Jia Xu up, and said: "We have won Yecheng, we already have enough chips to negotiate, as for Liu Xuande's intentional fight, wanting to show some strength, give them a chance anyway, even if we don't fight Ye today City, after going north alone, he still has to compete with us before he will be happy!"

He had thought it through, since Liu Bei was not willing to lag behind, there must be a battle, he needed to show his strength to make his concession, also for deterrence.

The battle in Yecheng was only a matter of time.

Now that Yecheng is still in his hands, everything else is harmless to Cao Cao.

"Since the matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide!" Cao Cao stood up, paced back and forth, thought for a while, and said, "You should return to Yecheng immediately, and then personally send an envoy to the army of Yan to have an interview with Uncle Liu Huang. Tell him, Gu and Wu Wang want to see him, he will arrange the time and place, and Gu will follow him, we must talk to each other in person, otherwise how can we form an alliance!"

Now that it's winter and the weather is freezing, he doesn't want to procrastinate any longer. If he doesn't settle the matter in Hebei, he won't be able to recuperate, and he won't be able to fight against Ming in advance.

Compared with Liu Bei's minor troubles, Mu Ming is their enemy.

This tone, he held back first.

"promise!"

Jia Xu surrendered.

He thought for a while and asked: "My lord, do you want to make some arrangements? Maybe there is a chance, but..."

"Do you think Gu can win Beiyan and Dongwu by taking advantage of the opportunity?" Cao Cao asked back.

If Liu Bei and Sun Ce are captured, he will be able to capture the land of Beiyan and Dongwu. This idea is a bit whimsical.

"no!"

Jia Xu shook his head.

"Then don't destroy this atmosphere of peaceful coexistence!" Cao Cao said calmly: "I don't mind killing people, but there must be a reason for killing people. If Gu is a united Han Dynasty, it is not a Han Dynasty where the princes are fighting and the civil strife is endless. !"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded, and said: "Even if we don't make a move, let's keep safe, Your Majesty can't have too much confidence in them, there must be some arrangements, at least when we meet, we won't let them have a chance to succeed! "

"Do you think that Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande have a chance to unite?"

"Yelou has inquired. Jiangdong took the opportunity to send an envoy to Beiyan before, and has been in contact since then. The two sides may reach some alliances!"

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty hopes to unite the princes of the Han Dynasty and resist the enemy together, but they may not have the overall view of your Majesty. If you can destroy Your Majesty, first flatten the Central Plains, and then resist Muming, they may do it!"

"maybe!"

Cao Cao smiled, but he didn't really mind. He said calmly: "But Gu is the king of Wei. If Gu wants to unite with them, he must be open-minded. He can guard against it, but he can't show his face. Save some face for Gu and give them a little face." Six o'clock steps!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu nodded.

After he resigned, he returned to Yecheng overnight.

......................................................

In the battle of Ye City, the turmoil did not last long. After the Yan army withdrew, the Yan Xing, Lu Bu, and Zhang Yan departments were all integrating the order in the city and calming down the city.

Even though it was full of turbulence in the dark, but on the bright side, this city can be considered to have regained its calm.

Two days later, Cao Cao led his army to the southern suburbs of Yecheng.

On a camp in the southern suburbs, Cao Cao was playing chess with Sun Ce. Sun Ce didn't have much talent for playing chess. Basically, he was being abused by Cao Cao.

"Uncle really is an extraordinary chess player!"

Sun Ce threw away the white piece in his hand, and said bitterly, "My chess skill is better than playing chess with King Wei in the future!"

"The way of chess is just a small way!"

Cao Cao smiled: "It's just for entertainment, nephew, don't take it to heart!"

His chess skills are actually not very good. If he played chess with people like Guo Jia and Xun Yu, he would have to be abused, but Sun Ce was obviously worse than him.

When they reached their status, it was meaningless to handicap chess. They like to fight for a win or lose in everything, and chess is the same, so everyone is at a real level.

"There are rumors that the great talent of the Ming Dynasty is also very good at chess. If you have the opportunity to watch your uncle play chess with him, you will have no regrets in your life!"

Sun Ce smiled and said.

"I don't know what his chess skills are, but this person's strategy is unfathomable!" Cao Cao also smiled, and said: "I don't have much confidence in facing him!"

This is the truth, tell the truth, not to say that you can improve yourself by belittling your opponent, Cao Mengde doesn't need to belittle an opponent to improve his own style.

Looking around the world, Da Tianzi is the most powerful and thoughtful person, even if he loses, no one will feel ashamed.

"What about Uncle Liu?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.

"Brother Xuande is a wonderful person!"

Cao Cao thought for a while and replied, "If someone plays chess with him, the outcome is really unknown, but..."

There was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and he said: "Controversy, he is not as good as me!"

This is a fact.

No matter how strong Beiyan is, it is not as strong as the Central Plains, not only in strength, but also in combat effectiveness. This time, after the Wei army has been supplemented and perfected, and they are given another winter to restore their previous combat effectiveness, they will definitely be able to conquer Beiyan.

Of course, the battle was not so good. Even if he is capable, it depends on the situation. Let alone whether the army will move, the King Wu in front of him will not let him destroy Beiyan.

"Then will he sit down and talk to his uncle?" Sun Ce kept modest and asked softly: "Uncle Liu Huang is a person with absolute status today. He is the uncle of the emperor. In terms of status, he may not be much lower than uncle!"

"That depends on how much he still cares about the Han Dynasty!"

Cao Cao said calmly: "I think he can sit down and talk, but just in case, if he doesn't talk, we will go north and talk to him in person. I don't know what my nephew thinks!"

"good!"

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Only by uniting as one can we resist the Ming army!"
