Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

The weather in the first ten days of August has gradually turned gloomy. The north wind from the Siberian plain is blowing the hills, and all the trees are shaking with the wind.

The landing tactics planned by Yu Jin obviously failed.

This battle caused him to lose more than 4000 people, of which less than 2000 died in the battle, at least 2000 died in the chaotic escape from the ship, and the remaining nearly [-] chose to surrender.

Zhou Buyi looked at Cao Jun fleeing in embarrassment, and even regretted that he had struck too hard. If Cao Jun didn't dare to go to the island to fight, then what kind of excuse should they find to evacuate, pretending to be defeated and "fleeing" What about going south?
"Uncle Master."

Deng Ai wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran all the way back, reporting to Zhou Buyi: "The battlefield has been cleaned up."

Shen Chen and Zhou Buyi are both Song Zhong's students, and they are usually referred to as brothers and sisters.In the Han Dynasty, there was no theory of brothers and sisters. At that time, there was only the theory of fellow students or classmates, and there was no particularly strict relationship between teachers and students.

Later, Shen Chen established his own sect and carried forward Shen Xue to become a great Confucian of the generation, so he standardized the titles, etiquette, and format among fellow sects, which made it easier for fellow sects to hug each other for warmth.

Although it sounds ugly to be a schoolboy, no matter in any era, working hard by one person will never be as good as a group of people with the same goal working together.

What Shen Chen advocated to his disciples was to support the unity of the country, safeguard the development of the Han nation, ensure the survival and interests of the people, weaken the influence of aristocratic families, and strive to build a beautiful world where everyone has food and clothing. country.

When he does it alone, the resistance and difficulties he encounters are naturally endless.

Only by building a professional team can someone help him with this thankless job and career.

Now Zhou Buyi has become another person who inherits his ideas after Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others. His disciples include Deng Ai, Xie Hui, Shan Yi and other outstanding talents. One day he will be able to realize his vision.

After Zhou Buyi heard Deng Ai's report, he nodded slightly, and then waved his hands and said: "Cao Jun will not come to attack in the next few days, but you still have to be careful. Brother told me that I must stick to it for [-] days. We won't be able to evacuate until the end of August, and I must not lose Yuliangzhou."

"only."

Deng Ai bowed his hands solemnly, his eyes full of firmness.

And when Yu Jin and Zhou Buyi took the lead in the first battle, Liu Bei, who was far away in Guanzhong, was still fighting Cao Cao.

This time Liu Bei dispatched not the mob recruited by Wudu, but the elite of Guan Yu's men, [-] of his old team who followed him, plus [-] people and [-] cavalry, the total number of soldiers reached [-]. Ten thousand.

Due to the extremely long front line, as many as 12 civilians were transferred from Hanzhong alone. The army claimed to be 30.

This battle is actually very unfavorable for Liu Bei. Hanzhong is only less than [-] kilometers away from Chang'an, but more than half of it is rolling mountains, and even the road is directly on the plank road on the cliff. It rained all the time.

Even when Zhuge Liang was the most successful in history, he only reached Wuzhangyuan, south of Mei County, and was still a hundred kilometers away from Ganting, south of Huaili. Congenitally deficient.

But even if he knew that this battle would be extremely unfavorable to him, Liu Bei would forcefully go out.Because strategically, even if this battle fails, Hanzhong will not be lost. As long as Hanzhong is not lost, other losses will be negligible.

And if the southern strategy is successful, he will be able to get the whole of Yangzhou and Jiaozhou.

Therefore, although Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Fazheng, Jia Xu and others all thought that this victory was slim, Liu Bei must also attack Chang'an to contain Cao Cao's main force.

Fifty miles south of Huaili County, Ganting is located in the Huyi District of Xi'an City, which was called Huxian County in ancient times. Ganting is located in the west of Huxian County.

Liu Bei's army was stationed to the west of the Laohe, and Cao Cao's army was stationed in Hucheng to the east of the Laohe.

There are several reasons why the two sides fought here. One is that the south of this place is Ziwu Road, and the Tangluo Road is fifty miles south. From Hanzhong, a small group of thousands of people can be sent out of Ziwu Valley to harass Cao's flank.

The second is that this place can go straight to Wuguan all the way to the east, and go straight to Chang'an in the northeast. It can also pretend to help Nanyang, or attack Chang'an in a pretentious manner. It is an extremely important strategic location.

The third is the most important point, that is, it is the closest to Chencang Road and Baoxie Road, which is convenient for grain transportation. Otherwise, if it is from other places, it will have to cross the Weishui River.

Therefore, based on the above points, sending troops to Hu County is the best choice.

Naturally, Cao Cao also understood this, so he withdrew his troops from Nanyang urgently and returned to aid Guanzhong. The two sides had almost the same number of troops, and both were elite soldiers.

At present, Liu Bei’s camp in Ganting is surrounded by the vast and boundless Guanzhong Plain on the east, west and north sides, and the towering and tall Qinling Mountains on the south side. Several rivers flow out and merge into the Weishui River in the north.

Liu Bei stood on the high fort in the middle of the village and watched. Cao Jun’s camp on the other side of the river was constantly dispatching troops. Soldiers and horses were constantly coming back and forth between the camp and Hu County. The autumn rain is continuous, so the waves are rolling, and Cao Jun is building a pontoon downstream.

"Your Majesty."

Fazheng walked to Liu Bei's side and bowed his hands to salute him.

Now along the line from Hanzhong to Hu County, the Liu Bei Group is fortified every step of the way, with sentry posts everywhere.

Jia Xu was in charge of grain and grass transportation in Hanzhong, Pang Tong was the grain and grass center in Tangyu Township, Wuzhangyuan, and Xu Shu and Wei Yan were the rear army in Taiting, which is later Zhouzhi County, to prevent Cao Cao from cutting off the grain road.

Liu Bei's main army, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Huang Quan, Guan Ping and others under his command, camped for more than [-] miles from Ganting to Taiting in the rear.

At this moment, Fazheng came over and said to Liu Bei: "Cao Cao's battle this time must be to fight us decisively as soon as possible, so that after we are repelled, he will immediately rush to help Nanyang. Your Majesty should not be able to hold on. Let him provoke and not respond. It is."

"Ah."

Liu Bei looked at Dongfang with deep eyes, and said softly: "It stands to reason that I should do this."

"Then why"

Fazheng was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty wants to order the troops to be rectified, and leave the camp at noon?"

Liu Bei unconsciously stroked the gray hair at the temples, recalled the old face when he looked at the bronze mirror this morning, and sighed: "Xiaozhi, I am 60 years old. I started my army in Zhuojun and fought for more than [-] years? But I am a widow. But he never defeated Cao Cao, so that the country collapsed, and the Han Dynasty was held by thieves."

Fazheng said: "Since this is the case, we should stick to it. Kong Ming wrote to Hanzhong a few days ago, saying that Sun Quan had already taken over, and the main force of the army had entered Nanjun. Jiangdong is available."

"Yes."

Liu Bei sighed and said: "But as I said just now, the widow has lost and escaped all his life. This time, I don't want to run away again. Because maybe after this time, the widow will never see Cao Cao again. If we fight I have never defeated him in my whole life, isn't this life very boring?"

"Forehead"

Fazheng thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, please put on the royal royal uniform and board the chariot. This time, the king should be condescending and let Cao Cao take a good look. There are still people like the king in the world." Standing tall like a pillar of the sky."

"it is good."

Liu Bei nodded heavily.

After noon, Cao Jun crossed the river on a large scale from the pontoon bridge to the north of Laoshui.

Liu Bei's army did not intercept them, because the Guanzhong Plain was unobstructed, and there was no place to ambush. On the other side of the bank, Liu Bei's army could be seen from a distance of more than ten miles.

Therefore, if they are dispatched directly, at most Cao Jun will be withdrawn to the north bank of the flooded water, which will not benefit the two sides in the war. Besides, Cao Jun can also cross the river from the Weishui River in the north. Isn't he going to be ambushed by Cao Jun?

Moreover, Liu Bei wanted to fight Cao Cao head-on. Except that it was difficult to transport food and supplies and could not fight for a long time, he believed that he would never lose in terms of military strength, quality, equipment, and combat power.

In this case, what is so terrible about the two sides confronting each other?
So he fought without hesitation.

After Cao Jun crossed the river and assembled more than ten miles away from Liu Bei's camp to the south, Liu Bei also began to mobilize the entire battalion of soldiers, and they went out of the camp and began to line up.

In this battle, apart from the fact that Zhang Feima surpassed 1 cavalry to cruise to Taiting in the northwest to prevent Cao Jun's cavalry from taking the opportunity to attack the grain road in the rear, almost the main force was dispatched.

Cao Cao is riding on a war horse. His face is also very old, his hair is gray and white, and he is also wearing Wei Wangmian clothes. The specifications are not as good as those of the emperor, but they are the clothes of princes and kings, which is logically an act of usurpation.

However, his power has already reached the top in the north. In this period, not to mention violating the White Horse Alliance and becoming a king with a different surname, even if he usurps the throne and becomes the emperor, there is probably no obstacle. Therefore, no one can stop his arrogance, even Liu Bei. Accused, but could not move him a bit.

The vast plain behind Cao Cao was densely packed with dark Cao soldiers, and there were large cavalry galloping further north, billowing gray smoke flying in the air, splashing countless dust.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer quickly, and at a place about six miles away from Liu Bei's military camp, the people on both sides finally met.

About two miles to the east of them is the waterlogged water, and there are vast plains in all directions.

It used to be part of the fertile Guanzhong Plain. After many years of war, no one cultivated it. The dilapidated villages disappeared, and the fields turned into barren land, overgrown with weeds, and became a paradise for herbivores such as hares and wild deer.

If you look down from a high altitude, you will see that the crowds of the two sides are more than a mile apart, lined up in a row, stretching for several miles, divided into unknown number of square formations, facing each other from a distance.

In front of the center of the formation, Liu Bei's chariot is majestic and tall. He is wearing the crown of a prince, with nine strings of crowns, second only to the twelve crowns of the emperor.Condescending, looking down at Cao Cao on the battlefield in the distance, at least today, he has been on an equal footing with Cao Cao in terms of status.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao said unhappily to the left and right: "The widow didn't come out in the chariot, but Liu Bei, a little boy in shoes, was given a high position."

Xu Chu said: "King Wei, please be at ease. In the end, the general will take Liu Bei directly to the center and give the chariot to King Wei."

"Hahahahahaha."

Cao Cao laughed and stroked his beard and said, "What do you want to do with the chariot that Liu Bei used to ride in? If you bring Liu Bei's head, I will be happy."

"Cao Cao!"

At this moment, Liu Bei's chariot was slowly moving forward, and he stood on the carriage and shouted loudly: "Do you dare to come out and reminisce with your old friends?"

"Humph."

Cao Cao glanced at the distance, and Guan Yu was sitting on the side of the red rabbit horse for protection with a knife, so he patted the horse forward and said, "Why don't you dare?"

The two sides approached quickly.

At the center of the battle, the two were about six or seven feet apart. Guan Yu was protecting Liu Bei, while Xu Chu was protecting Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei who had the same old face, and suddenly felt a little emotional for some reason.

Cao Cao back then would never have imagined that the person he once admired would become his biggest opponent in the future.

Even if he has been defeated repeatedly, even if he has never taken advantage of himself.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Tao Qian and those powerful enemies failed to stop Cao Cao's indomitable progress, but Liu Bei, who was driven around at that time, stood in his way to unify the world.

Maybe this is life.

The end of time is not that you have a lot of power, but a person who you once looked down upon and was far inferior to you, but finally strives forward, not only catching up with you, being equal to you, and even wanting to surpass you.

The fate in the world is so wonderful, just as Qin Shihuang spent his whole life and failed to find the elixir of longevity. Guan Yu, whom he had dreamed of, resolutely left him and returned to Liu Bei after beheading Yan Liang.

"Yunchang."

Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu and said unconsciously, "You are also much older."

"Sikong."

Guan Yu still called him the same as before, cupped his hands and said, "People will grow old and die. Only if you don't waste your life, can you be a real man."

"Hahahahahaha."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I have not wasted my life. Xuande, you were just a general under the command of the widow. You betrayed the court many times and were kicked out like a dog by the widow. Do you think you can defeat the widow today? "

Standing on the car, Liu Bei said earnestly: "Meng De's kindness back then is unforgettable, but the big man is a big man who was brought down by his ancestors, and he wanted to keep it for himself. Bei didn't agree, and Bei's ancestors didn't agree either. Thanks to the old man Benevolence, but I begged Yuan Shu for Meng De, conquered Lu Bu, and Yun Chang also beheaded Yan Liang for Meng De, this kindness has been repaid, and next, it is time to prepare to take back the ancestors."

"Ha ha."

Cao Cao sneered and said, "You are a man of no virtue, how dare you pretend to be a god? Why did you run away in a panic when I beat you? Today is just a repeat of that year. You should think about how to escape."

"Prepare this time, never escape!"

Liu Bei looked at him solemnly, and said firmly, "Cao Mengde, let's decide the outcome of this battle."

After finishing speaking, he did not hesitate to ask the coachman to go back.

In the heaven and the earth, it seems that because of these loud words, there is a flash of thunder.

It's August.

The autumn wind is blowing.

It was going to rain too.
