Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 872 Raising troops to the south 2
After dawn, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao immediately led their troops towards the west. At noon, Xia Houlan and Ma Dai also led [-] cavalry south. The wounded and the rest of the soldiers who were left behind to look after the prisoners would probably have to be sent out.

"Commander, both troops of our army have already gone to battle." Wen Chou asked Zhao Yun for orders, "When will the last general lead his troops northward to conquer the army of the Huns? Foreign cavalry have repeatedly marched south. This time, the last general will never suffer any further troubles."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhao Yun nodded and persuaded: "Not handsome, the 10 horses that I didn't bring are all elites on the battlefield, but the equipment of the 6 troops is indeed a bit poor. I fear that unnecessary casualties will be increased. I have written to Xu Rong. He is transporting some food and equipment and [-] cavalry equipment here. After the [-] people have changed their equipment, you can lead them to fight against Yan Liang. Forty thousand elite confluence.

This matter must not be rushed. Although the army of the Right Huns was repelled, its main force is still there. My lord wants to solve the problem once and for all, but it is actually very difficult to do so. What's more, what we need to do now is to seek stability. Qiu Sheng, you can wait for two more days, and at the same time, you can also let your subordinates rest now. By the way, the lord is coming soon, and he also wants to see you very much. "

"My lord..." Wen Chou lowered his head, his eyes were full of emotion. In fact, he had discussed with Xu Huang and the others on the way back. The disaster was caused by their dereliction of duty. If this matter is not explained to others, I am afraid they will not be able to return to the northern camp.

In order to form a two-sided attack on the remaining Xiliang area, Zhang Fei's army and Xia Houlan's army are moving in the same direction for the time being, until the two armies reach the heartland of the Hu Qiang mixed grassland. Dividing up the troops, Zhang Fei's task here is not light. He wants to capture the whole of Xiliang, and at the same time, he has to capture the Chang'an area occupied by Dong Zhuo's remnants. Many, unless Xu Huang can cooperate well with him, otherwise, most of the battles to attack Yanzhou will not have his share.

"Meng Qi, you are more familiar with the Xiliang area than I am. Where do you think we should start first?" On the horse, Zhang Fei asked Ma Chao beside him: "The enemy army may not know the news of our army's rapid southward march for the time being. Before the enemy reacts, we must smash their cities and camps."

"There is not enough food and grass in the bitter cold of Xiliang. Now that Han Sui has been killed, the rest of his crimes will not be able to cause much trouble." Ma Chao frowned and replied, "Besides, General Xu Huang must have led his army to attack all parts of Xiliang from the west. The general thinks that what we have to do now is to quickly defeat the bandits entrenched in Chang'an.

The original intention of the lord is to launch a fierce attack on Cao Cao in Yanzhou. Only by isolating Yanzhou first can Cao Cao be trapped. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to take down Chang'an, recruit or wipe out the remnants of Dong Zhuo's rebels in Chang'an, and then take the opportunity Attack all parts of Xiliang and try to join General Xu Huang. "

"That's right, I think so too." Zhang Fei nodded and laughed loudly: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. The people in Chang'an have long been in dire straits. Dong Zhuo's remnants are now worthy of the elite of the past. I want to surprise Chang'an. Previously, I disconnected Cao Cao from the various forces in Xiliang."

"General, please order." Ma Chao asked for orders: "The last general will not disgrace his orders."

"Meng Qi, you can lead five thousand cavalry from our headquarters." Zhang Fei nodded and ordered: "Each person is equipped with two horses and carries five days of dry food. Try to reach Chang'an in the shortest time. As long as you win Chang'an, Yanzhou and The Xiliang side will be disconnected, and then we can defeat them one by one."

"No, I will do it immediately,,,,,,"

In the territory of Hedong, Zhang Jai suddenly mobilized troops after so many years of silence. Although he could only send out an army of 1 people, this opportunity was too rare for him. He failed to provoke Cao Jun. For the stability of the overall situation, Zhang Jaw has suffered some grievances these years.

It's all right now, Gongsun Xu has given him an order to decide when to attack by himself, and Xia Houlan is about to lead the reinforcements to arrive.Zhang Jai understands that after Xia Houlan arrives, he will have [-] troops on his side, and he will be the commander of these [-] troops. Now that the enemy army in the grassland has been defeated, it is imminent to go south to attack Yanzhou.

Guan Yu in Jizhou was held back by Cao Cao's main force, and Gao Shun was entangled with Yuan Shao in Xuzhou. That is to say, Zhang Jaw is now the only general who has a chance to attack first.Who would have thought that the key location for attacking Yanzhou would be on the border between Hedong and Hanoi, and who would have thought that Zhang Jaw, who has always been unknown, would become a key pawn.

"Defeat Cao Jun in Hanoi, and then enter Yanzhou for the Lord's open road." Zhang Jai looked at the sky and said to himself: "After clearing all obstacles in the west of Yanzhou, I will go south with my lord. I Zhang Jaw, it is time to make contributions. ,,,,,"

At this moment, Yuan Shao was so beaten by Gao Shun that he couldn't hold his head up, and the food and grass of Xuzhou's 30 troops were about to have problems. In order to defeat Yuan Shao as soon as possible, the Northern Xinjiang Navy had set sail to find a landing place to cooperate with Gao Shun.And Cao Cao is leading an elite army of 10,000+ to be trapped on the southern front of Jizhou. He has received news that the northern army is going south, but he can't withdraw now. Thirty thousand soldiers have gathered on the border. If Cao Jun dared to retreat, they dared to pursue and kill them.For Cao Cao, he can only defeat or even defeat the defenders of Jizhou first, and then return to Yanzhou with peace of mind.

The princes in the south are also in too many troubles now. The little overlord of Jiangdong had a chance to go north again, but unfortunately, he was in a depressed mood some time ago. When he was out hunting, he was assassinated by Xu Gong's followers. At the critical moment, his sword The bows and bows were all broken, and a dozen people came prepared at this moment, and a dozen bows shot at the same time, and Sun Ce hit the arrow on the spot.

Fortunately, Sun Ce has been wearing the soft armor given to him by Gongsun Xu since he returned from Yuzhou, so he was not seriously injured at that time. When he asked for help in northern Xinjiang, Gongsun Xu gave him the fine steel soft sword as a personal weapon. He defended himself, and at the same time taught him the swordsmanship of Jianghu assassination. Perhaps, Sun Ce himself would not have thought that these two things saved his life at the most critical moment.

However, the dozen or so assassins also came with the will to die. Their weapons were all coated with poison. After a few arrows, Sun Ce became a little delirious. his pills.

His subordinates did not come to search and rescue until the injury stabilized. The incident was suppressed by Sun Ce. Zhou Yu wanted to continue the investigation, but Sun Ce insisted on discussing this matter after his injury recovered.While recuperating from his injuries, Sun Ce moved to Chaisang, while his younger brother Sun Quan was in charge of the military power in the Jianye area. The situation in Jiangdong is now unclear.

Liu Bei is currently busy marching into Bashu, and he has no time or strength to take care of the affairs in the north.Liu Biao of Jingzhou fell ill precisely at this juncture, and it was precisely because of this that the Jingzhou army could not participate in the war in the north at this moment, and it was inevitable for the northern Xinjiang army to go south.
