Great Military Division

Chapter 439 Yuan Shao vomited blood!

On the way to Changyi County.

A team stretching across the wilderness, like a giant dragon, meanders slowly.

In the middle of the team, the big flag with the word "Cao" in black on a yellow background fluttered in the wind, and the man with thin eyes and short beard riding a horse below was none other than Cao Cao.

At this moment, Cao Cao was sitting on his war horse, holding the rein with one hand and pinching his short beard with the other, his head raised slightly, and his two black pearl-like eyeballs seemed to be staring at the sky.

"Tsk tsk!"

Cao Cao clicked his tongue twice, reminiscing about the shocking explosion of Gong and County in his mind.

I was afraid that one Fuhuo Thunder Pack would not be enough to blow open the city gate, so I just put four, two on the left and right sides of the city gate hole, I thought it was possible to blow open the city gate, but who would have thought that with a bang, it would directly collapse half of the city gate? a city wall.

Of course, Gongyu County is just a small county in Shanyang County. The city is low and in disrepair for a long time. There were already some cracks, but four Fuhuo Thunderbolts blew up half of the city wall, which really made Cao Jun sigh. .

They have never seen such a simple and crude way of siege, even the original siege ballista is not as powerful as the Fuhuo Thunder Pack.

Just four Fuhuo Thunderbolts frightened the Gonghe County defenders out of their wits. All the soldiers of Cao Jun rushed up, and within an hour, they took the Gonghe County City down.

It's incredible!

Cao Cao felt that he had mastered the success code, and turned his head to glance at Cheng Li: "Zhongde, now that we have a siege weapon such as Fuhuo Leiting, there is no city that cannot be broken."

"I'm afraid after this year, in less than two years, we will be able to successfully sweep the world and help the Han Dynasty, and the Jiangdong rats may even look forward to surrender."

"Ha ha!"

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and let out a haha, feeling that he had a very good vision at the beginning: "It has only been five years since His Majesty escaped from Luoyang to the end of his unification of the world. He is truly an emperor surpassing Qin Huang Han Wu."

"Yes."

Cheng Li nodded and nodded, also filled with emotion: "I really don't know how Your Majesty did it. It's incredible that you can invent such a fetish as Fu Huo Lei Ting."

"Perhaps in the future, His Majesty will also consider marching into Mobei, going south to be barren, or even marching to the sea. Otherwise, it will be meaningless to build up the imperial navy."

Cao Caoen nodded: "Yes, it is true, and I have a strong feeling that the development of the battlefield in the future is very likely to develop towards the fire and thunder, and personal bravery will become more and more powerful in future wars." Unremarkable."

"Yes."

Cheng Li also felt the same way: "Manpower is simply vulnerable in front of Fuhuo Leiting. The public and county guard is a general under Yuan Yi's command, but who would have thought that he would be killed by Fuhuo Leiting just after the war started?" gone."

"The generals needed in future wars don't necessarily need to be very powerful, but they must be commanders, able to lead troops, understand the battle situation, be able to analyze, and master the art of war!"

"The general often said that the soldiers are not many, but the spirit; the generals are no longer brave, but the strategy; maybe it was difficult to reflect it before, but from now on, it will be more and more reflected."

Cao Cao nodded affirmatively: "That's right, the soldiers we need in the future are elite soldiers, and the generals we need are strategists. Just like your majesty's camp and leopard cavalry, they are models of elite soldiers. As for generals, there are no qualified ones yet. .”

"How not?"

Cheng Li denied without hesitation: "A general is a qualified general. You can realize this now, and you will be able to adapt to the trend of new warfare in the future."

Cao Cao smiled lightly, and his eyes softened: "We must all work hard and order the entire army to learn the art of war, especially officers above the rank of lieutenant."

"Oh, right."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, and said softly: "When I sign the letter of responsibility with the soldiers under my command next year, Cao will also sign the study of the art of war. If he fails to complete it, he will be demoted and punished. Soldiers."

Cheng Li couldn't help being surprised: "General, if you really do this, I'm afraid there will be many generals in the army who will not accept it, especially the two generals Xiahou, who will definitely find trouble with the general."

How could Cao Cao fail to understand Cheng Li's worry: "So what? Even the generals of the Cao family, if they refuse to accept, Cao will still be demoted and punished. I am helping them now, not harming them."

"kindness."

Cheng Li was full of emotions, and was even more amazed at Cao Cao's courage: "If the general can do this, he will definitely not disappoint His Majesty Tiankui's expectations. Now the commanders in Nanyang are harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are dissatisfied with each other."

"Only when the general really achieves success and adapts to His Majesty's development of future wars, can he truly become the title of Tiankui, and he can truly become General Zhengxi in the future."

General Zhengxi!

An official position that is enough to make Cao Cao's blood boil.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "Don't worry, from next year, all staff will learn the art of war. Those who fail to learn the art of war will be demoted and punished. I have made a decision, and no one can change it."

Cheng Li pinched a strand of beard under his chin: "General, we can even imitate the imperial court and conduct military law examinations within the army. The results of the examinations will be one of the criteria for promotion."

"what?"

Cao Cao frowned: "This is a good idea, you can try it."

Cheng Li smiled lightly: "Of course, it has to be implemented slowly, don't forget to act too hastily."

Cao Cao said kindly: "Don't worry, I still understand the truth."

"."

The two chatted one after another.

Suddenly, an announcement sounded from the front:
"Report—!"

However, General Cao Ren galloped over on his horse, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "General, there is a beggar in front of us who stopped our army and said that he is Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, but we don't know him."

"Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.

How can he not know that Liu Dai has disappeared, and his life and death are unknown.

It's just that I never thought that it would appear at this time, and it was still a beggar.

"go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Cao moved his hand and galloped forward.

as predicted.

At this moment, a man in tattered clothes was chewing wheat cakes with great mouthfuls. There was no trace of panic on this man's face, and he was not nervous at all even facing tens of thousands of troops. If he was a real beggar, he would dare to do so.

"Emissary Liu?"

Cao Cao dismounted from his horse, stepped forward, and greeted tentatively.

The beggar hurriedly turned around, brushed aside his messy bun, and looked at Cao Cao: "Meng De, why did you come here? Do you know how I got here these days?"

It's really Liu Dai!

Cao Cao was astonished, and rushed to meet him: "Forgive me, Mr. Liu, how dare we enter Yanzhou without any news from you, the governor of Yanzhou. If we hadn't heard from your messengers, we would still be in Yuzhou."

What else could Liu Dai say, trying to force back tears, and immediately waved his hand: "Anyway, I'm already very happy that you can come."

"This time, we must take down Changyi County. Otherwise, if it's winter, we don't know what will happen in the future. I must kill this kid Yuan Yi with my own hands."

Between the words, the resentment is beyond words.

But it is also understandable, after all, even Yuan Yi can't even imagine becoming a beggar from the governor of Yanzhou.

"Zixiao."

"exist."

"Find clothes for Shijun Liu, take him to the river to wash, and we will set up camp in front."

"Here."

Cao Ren responded, and waved his hand as a petition: "Liu Shijun, come with me."

Liu Dai clasped his fists towards Cao Cao and Cheng Li: "Thank you, Liu."

Cao Cao responded briefly, and Quan responded: "Okay, tonight I will clean up the dust for you. By the way, I will learn about Yuan Yi's situation. With the strength of the envoy, it should not be such a disastrous defeat. There must be tricks in it."

"Ugh-!"

Liu Dai sighed, and said softly: "I'll talk about it when I come back, Yuan Yi, I really underestimated him, and Meng De must not be careless."

Cao Cao nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Although Cao Cao had already expected that Liu Dai might not be Yuan Yi's opponent, but when Ma Sheng attacked unexpectedly, Liu Dai was able to fight Yuan Yi on a par with the division of troops. Cao Cao felt that Liu Dai is a character.

but never thought
In just a few days, the sad news of Liu Dai's defeat came back, and it was only after Wan Qian defeated Ma Sheng that the news of defeat came back. This can only prove that something unexpected happened.

Although Cao Cao also asked about the condition of the messenger, he was not the chief general after all, and his understanding of the battle situation was very one-sided and vague, and he did not come up with a reasonable explanation in the end.

Now that we met Liu Dai today, it is just right to answer Cao Cao's doubts, which will make it easier for him to understand Yuan Yi's strength and prevent unnecessary accidents.

That night.

The wind is cool.

Moon stars are rare.

Cao Jun's big camp, the Chinese army's big tent.

hiss-!
Cao Cao was surprised, pinching a strand of beard under his jaw, and said in disbelief: "I never thought that the whole process would be like this."

Liu Dai sighed, with annoyed expression on his face: "Oh, if I wasn't eager for success, how could I blindly push all the troops up? If not, how could Yuan Yi's little cavalry have hurt me at all."

Pong!
Speaking of this, Liu Dai slammed his fist on the food table, glaring and furious: "Damn it! It's all my fault for being too impulsive. If I can wait for Wan Qian to lead the soldiers back, I will be safe."

Cao Cao said without hesitation: "If you take the initiative to attack, Wan Qian will not come back. This cavalry will definitely intercept and kill Wan Qian on the way to support the main force in the city."

"Yes."

Bao Xin on the opposite side nodded and said: "Meng De is right. If I were Yuan Yi, I would definitely send cavalry to attack Wan Qian. Even if the entire army cannot be wiped out, half of the soldiers and horses can be killed. In this way, if you want to take Going down to Changyi is not so easy."

"Of course!"

Cheng Li added, "If this is the case, at least Mr. Liu will not be defeated so badly, and once our army enters Shanyang County, the situation on the battlefield will change immediately."

"Ugh-!"

Liu Dai didn't care that much.

He sighed and waved his hands: "The matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk too much. In short, Meng De, you must be careful. Yuan Yi is not as easy to deal with as you think."

"Now that they have taken prisoners, they have more troops and their morale is high. I'm afraid it's not as easy as you imagined to take down Changyi County."

"Of course!"

Liu Dai emphasized: "The most important thing now is that it is about to enter winter, and it will soon be snowing all over the sky. At that time, it will be cold and freezing. I am afraid that the two sides will have to stop fighting. It is conservatively estimated that we will have to wait at least three months before we can start fighting again." Let's go to war."

"Not only that."

Cheng Li on the side reminded: "Now, Your Majesty is going to have a public trial of Yuan Kai. Once convicted, Yuan Yi will inevitably be involved. If we can take Yuan Yi down, let's just leave it at that. If we can't, we will discredit Your Majesty. "

How could Cao Cao not be clear about this, he greeted without hesitation, "Where is Zixiao?"

Cao Ren took a step forward: "The end is here."

Cao Cao ordered: "Spread out your scouts quickly and investigate the situation around Changyi County thoroughly. You must not let them escape, or set up an ambush outside the city. In particular, you must observe the situation of the city and whether it will be reinforced."

Cao Ren bowed his body and cupped his hands: "General, don't worry, the final arrangements have been made."

Cao Cao nodded: "That's very good."

Immediately.

Cao Cao turned to Cheng Li and said softly: "We have Fuhuo Leiting in hand, we should fight quickly, use up all the remaining Fuhuo Leiting packs, and then organize an elite army to storm the city with Fuhuo Leiting bombs, Try to solve Yuan Yi in the shortest possible time."

Cheng Li'en nodded: "To be honest, I have exactly this intention."

Cao Cao breathed out: "Tomorrow morning, set off for Changyi."

All the officers and men shouted in unison: "Here."

******
Youzhou.

Outside Ji County.

Yuan Shao sat on his horse, looking at the people fighting desperately in Ji County, he was so angry that his heart ached: "Damn it! Once the city breaks through these hateful people of Ji County, I will definitely kill them all."

"My lord, don't worry."

Guo Tu bowed his arms and said calmly, "Jixian County is on the verge of collapse, and it won't last long. If the Black Mountain Army didn't hate it, we would have conquered Jixian County already."

"However, even so, if you want to come to Ji County, you won't be able to last for a few days. Didn't you see? There are almost no soldiers now, and all the people are left."

call-

Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief, his brows furrowed, and he wanted to squeeze the rein with his hand: "It is precisely because the common people support Liu Yu so much that it really makes people angry!"

In the past, Yuan Shao didn't pay attention to the common people at all. After all, they were all helpless farmers, but now, with Liu Yu, they can display a strong fighting power.

popular support!

This is the power of the people!

One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians guarding a city can actually stop their own army from attacking for a year. This is unbelievable. Even if there are no soldiers in the city, they still don't give up lightly.

"This"

Guo Tu didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, there are very few people who can transform the hearts of the people into combat power, and this is also the first time he has seen them.

"In the direction of Zhongshan, when can the soldiers and horses be transferred back?"

Yuan Shao couldn't care less, turned his head and asked.

"this."

Guo Tu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "It will take some time. I heard that the Black Mountain Army in the direction of Zhongshan is led by Zhang Yan himself, with a strength of 5 to [-]."

"That won't work either!"

Yuan Shao denied it without hesitation: "We see that winter is about to enter, we must take down Ji County before winter enters, otherwise we don't know what will happen next year."

"Quickly send an order to tell Zhang He and Gao Lan that three thousand soldiers must be brought back. As for how to resist the Black Mountain army's raid, that's their business. I only have one request, and absolutely ensure the smooth flow of the grain road."

Guo Tu gave a bow: "Here."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long-lasting report sounded not far away.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look.

But seeing that his own messengers came from Juechen, their expressions were extremely flustered: "My lord, something is wrong."

Yuan Shao was furious, and shouted in a cold voice: "What's the matter, speak up!"

The messenger nodded: "According to reliable information, His Majesty took refuge in Nanyang before the Wuguan formation. Yuan Gong and Chang'an civil and military officials were all arrested. They are currently being jointly examined by Nanyang Tingwei and the school office. I heard that for two days, Nanyang is ready to Public trial of Yuan Kui."

"what?"

"Uncle, he actually did."

Yuan Shao stared like a bell, and was stunned on the spot like a thunderbolt.

He couldn't believe it.

As the cold winter approached, such a message would actually be sent, which completely defeated the last steadfastness in my heart.

At this moment, Yuan Shao only felt a surge of anger, which was completely churning from the bottom of his heart, constantly impacting his internal organs, and his whole body was almost about to explode.

puff!
Yuan Shao clutched his heart, and after a while, he couldn't hold it anymore, he spurted out a mouthful of 20-year-old blood, rolled his eyes on the spot, passed out, and fell off the horse directly.

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

"Hurry up, Ming Jin retreats!"

Guo Tu didn't care so much, he hurriedly protected Yuan Shao and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Jingle Bell-!
In the next second, the sound of Jin Ming sounded, and Yuan Shao's army retreated.

Standing on the top of the city, Liu Yu stared at the retreating soldiers and horses outside the city, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

He raised his head, stared at the sky, felt the cool wind passing by the side of the cloak, and there was a touch of joy on his face: "It will be winter in half a month, and we have finally survived."

"Yes."

Wei You on the side was also full of emotions: "It's hard to imagine how we survived this year. Now that the houses of the people in the city have been demolished, what will happen after winter?"

Liu Yu naturally knew that this was a difficult problem, but he still gave his own solution: "Let everyone huddle together first, and try to survive this winter. Zitai said that he will report the situation here to the court."

"Ugh-"

Wei You sighed: "I don't know where the court is. What happened?"

Liu Yu frowned, and said with absolute certainty: "Don't worry, there must be no problem. Haven't you noticed that Yuan Shao's troops have dropped sharply recently?"

"Impossible"

Wei You was taken aback for a moment, and said incredulously, "The soldiers and horses of the Nanyang court have already been killed?"

Liu Yu smiled lightly and shook his head: "That's not true."

"Oh?"

Wei You frowned: "That is."

Liu Yu said softly: "Zitai said that the imperial court has persuaded the Heishan army to surrender, and now they are attacking Yuan Shao's rear from Changshan, Weijun, and Zhongshan in sections, restraining a large number of troops from the opponent."

Wei You was surprised, with a look of disbelief: "No wonder, the more Yuan Shao fights, the fewer people there are. It turns out that the Black Mountain Army is helping us."

"Yes."

Liu Yuchang let out a sigh, with a long-lost smile on his face: "Cooperating with the imperial court's precise intelligence in Jizhou, the Black Mountain Army has always been able to attack accurately, and succeeded several times in succession, forcing Yuan Shao to send troops back to help."

"Although His Majesty the Emperor Nanyang is far away in Guanzhong, he can accurately lead the Youzhou battlefield from a distance. Based on this ability alone, I can judge that Yuan Kai is definitely not His Majesty's opponent. He will definitely lose sooner or later."

Wei You nodded with great interest: "That's true."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long report sounded from the city.

Liu Yu turned his head to look.

But I saw that Tian Chou was rushing to the top of the city, with a hint of joy on his face: "Master, good news."

Liu Yu smiled calmly: "What news is it, Zitai can just speak up."

"kindness."

Tian Chou responded, and handed Feige the letter to Liu Yu: "The information sent by Nanyang said that King Chenliu surrendered in front of Wuguan, and Yuan Kai and all the civil and military officials in Chang'an were arrested. joint review."

"and"

Tian Chou couldn't hide the joy on his face: "Your son Liu He is safe and uninjured. There is also a letter written by him on it. Because the space is limited, there is not much content. It is right to report that he is safe."

"Oh?"

Liu Yu was astonished, his eyes filled with horror: "Where is my son's handwritten letter?"

Tian Chou smiled: "It's in the hands of the envoy."

Liu Yu hurriedly unwrapped Fei Ge's letter.

really!

On a small rolled-up note, there was a line written: "Father, don't read, everything is fine, Liu He."

Liu Yu was so excited that tears flowed down his face: "That's great! It's great! My son is fine, it's great!"

Wei You bowed and said solemnly: "My lord, can you rest assured this time?"

"kindness."

Liu Yu nodded heavily, then turned towards Nanyang and bowed deeply: "My minister, Liu Yu, thank Your Majesty for your great kindness."

Tian Chou hurriedly helped Liu Yu up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said in the letter that you should stay in Jixian County. After winter, the imperial court's supplies will be delivered to Youbeiping from the sea, and then transferred from Youbeiping to Jixian County. .”

Wei You was pleasantly surprised. One second they were still worrying about this matter, and the next second the Nanyang court had sent the news. It was just in time, and it was touching:
"really?"

"Of course!"

Tian Chou said with great certainty: "I have already made a list of supplies, including [-] winter clothes, [-] stones of grain and grass, and supplies for ten large commercial ships."

Wei You was ecstatic: "Great, I don't have to worry this time."

Tian Chou said softly: "The imperial court has ordered me to take advantage of the midwinter season to represent Nanyang Hanting and negotiate with Gongsun Zan. If he can return to Nanyang, the imperial court will send some soldiers and horses by water to help defend the city."

Liu Yu was so moved that he couldn't help himself: "Your Majesty is really touching."

Wei Youen echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty is the real Chosen One. It won't be long before the big Han will reunify and completely embark on the road of rejuvenation."
