Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 269
Since the defeat of Yuan Jun at Kuangting in Yanzhou, the Han-Cao Allied Forces pursued them all the way to Ningling County, Yuzhou.Yuan Shu was terrified by the defeat. He had already reached his own territory, and his soldiers, horses, food and supplies were sufficient, but he didn't have the courage to continue fighting with the coalition forces.

He prepared his soldiers and horses, brought together treasures and food, gathered Sun Ce, who was fleeing for the road, and withdrew again with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, cursing Liu Xie and Cao Aman. give up.

After this battle, Yuan Shu completely left the northern battlefield and moved to the border of Jiujiang to fight from scratch.Throughout his life, he never dared to confront Liu Xie and Cao Cao face to face.

In this battle, the Han-Cao Allied Forces chased Yuan Shu for six hundred miles, and fought from the end of summer to the end of autumn. They beat the leader of the southern faction of the Kwantung Army into such a state of embarrassment, which completely shocked the world.And this pursuit battle, the farthest across regions since the chaos, made the Han and Cao armies famous and powerful in the Central Plains.

Through the mist in the early morning, tens of thousands of troops marched on the small road between the fields. The sound of rattling wheels, trampling horseshoes, and the rhythmic echo of the front and rear troops alarmed the birds in the forest and made them The crowd screamed and flew high.

After passing through Wuguan, Liu Xie set foot on the land of Guanzhong again.It is gratifying that countless pedestrians have already passed by this place closest to the Kanto. Some of them have high cheekbones and deep eyes, singing exotic tunes, carrying strange goods, while the melodious sound of camel bells Move forward slowly.

On both sides of the road, there are row upon row of shops. When customers are tired or hungry, they can eat and rest at any time. The generous and cheerful Guanzhong woman stands in a hut, her wrists are like frost. , the color is very happy, stretch your waist and kneel down again, and ask if the guest is safe. The waste gift will send the guest out, and Yingying's mansion will tend. The guest is not far away, but the door is not too far away. This is how to get a wife, Qi Jiang is not as good, a healthy woman holds the door , One wins one husband."

Although these are not Longxi, they are even better than Longxi.The common people, who have gradually settled down, have begun to snatch away the business of the government-run post stations in this era.

Liu Xie put down the curtain of the car, thinking that when he sent troops, this place was still extremely desolate, only a few broken bowls and broken pottery occasionally stepped out, telling the glory of the past.Seeing the omnipresent tenacity of today's merchants and the sprouts of prosperity brought to this place, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

After the end of autumn comes the cold winter, which is a season for all things to rest.The weather was getting colder day by day, and Liu Xie in the car was still shivering a few times wearing a cloak.Fortunately, I looked at the soldiers around me, but they were all more resistant to cold than him, walking in the morning mist in full swing.Their morale is always so high, and each of them settles down to his own position. With them by his side, Liu Xie will always feel at ease and at ease.

"Your Majesty, after returning home, it will take years to consolidate our victory in this battle." Xun You, who was sitting with Liu in the car, was always planning ahead.However, even though he said so, the faint smile between his jaws couldn't be concealed: "However, having said that, it is not yet possible for this battle to be written into military books and war strategies by future generations." You know."

Liu Xie smiled. During the class, he also occasionally recalled the battle.Although, strictly speaking, Liu Xie only played the role of a shameful historical speculator in this battle, but his military gains are enough to enter the family, comparable to a generation of military strategists.

There is no doubt that the protagonist of this battle is actually Cao Cao.It can be seen that since the battle of Kuangting, Cao Cao has basically never really put up a face-to-face confrontation. If this is the case, Liu Xie suspects that he still doesn't know who will win and who will win.

From the very beginning, Cao Cao never gave Yuan Shu this chance at all, and started to advance with a small number of troops, forcing Yuan Shu to have no chance to think calmly, forcing the opponent to have no time to set up a formation, and used psychological warfare to the extreme.He didn't aim to destroy the opponent, but just forced Yuan Jun to break up by himself, so every time he encircled him, he gave the opponent a way to retreat, which could not only preserve his own strength, but also let the opponent weaken his strength while escaping. Cao Cao's war talent was obtained here. Play to the fullest.

In the two months after the ancient city of Taishou was flooded, this routine was basically used in the pursuit of Yuan Shu.The only thing worth mentioning, which makes Liu Xie couldn't help laughing secretly, is that he also snatched the source of an idiom.

At that time, it was the end of the autumn tiger's rampage.Although the Han-Cao Allied Forces were chasing each other closely and had the initiative in their own hands, the combat process was not as smooth as imagined. They chased and rested whenever they wanted, but did not dare to relax at all to give the opponent a chance to breathe.

Once, the whole army chased without a drop of water for a whole day and night, and the weather was so hot that the soldiers almost died of thirst, and the speed became slower and slower.Liu Xie rushed to Cao Cao's side again with malicious intentions. Seeing Cao Cao sweating profusely but looking at the lush forest in the distance, he suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

He hurried ahead of Cao Cao, raised his whip and pointed forward, saying, comrades, I have good news for everyone. There is an orange grove in front. This season is the season when the oranges are ripe. Go ahead and eat them.As soon as the thirsty soldiers imagined, their saliva came out naturally, so let's go!

Originally, this should be the famous story of "Wishing plums to quench thirst".It tells the story that Comrade Cao integrated all the tricks of the cunning and rascal in his childhood into the art of war.However, due to Liu Xie's crossing and cutting off Hu, the battle between the Han-Cao coalition army and Yuan Jun had long missed May, when Yangmei was mature, and fought until September instead.Therefore, Liu Xie couldn't help thinking, when he returned to his previous life, would there be a plausible idiom of "looking at oranges to quench thirst"?

However, when Cao Cao was mentioned, Liu Xie's face that had just shown a smile could not help but darken again.Since this battle, on the surface, the Han-Cao coalition forces have been cooperating tacitly, and the monarch and ministers know each other.But Liu Xie is not a fool. He clearly felt that as the Han army spared no effort to seize Cao Jun's glory and profit space, some weird atmosphere in the Cao camp had begun to grow slowly.

The most obvious one is Cheng Yu.Liu Xie remembered that since the incident in the ancient city of Taishou, Cheng Yu always looked at himself with such an indescribable gloom.

Liu Xie knew that Cao Cao already knew that there must be a big battle between the two of them.The two forces are like a lion cub that has just hunted down an antelope together. When preparing a gluttonous feast with the joy of a wild hunting victory, they inadvertently caught a glimpse of the wariness in the other's eyes.

At this glance, the two cubs knew that their cooperation was over.And then, the relationship that has gone without saying, but walking on thin ice, can only hope that each other will not step on each other's bottom line prematurely.

Fortunately, in this battle, the Han Dynasty finally became the winner with more prey.After all, as long as the imperial court with inherent advantages participates in this victory, it will receive more attention and glory than Cao Cao, a rising star.In terms of substantive benefits, the Han Dynasty captured the treasure land of Yanchi in Hedong, and took a county of Nanyang into its pocket.

But Cao Cao was a little pitiful. After all, his battle could only be regarded as self-defense.Although the land of Yuzhou was plowed by the Han and Cao coalition forces, Yuan Shu's power was removed.But Cao Cao wanted to swallow Yuzhou into his stomach and digest it, and he had to hurry up before the Han Dynasty digested Hedong and Nanyang.

Liu Xie believed that he, who returned home after sweeping this big victory, already had enough power to suppress that femininity and sticky filthy court.As long as his hands are fast enough, Cao Cao can grab shit and eat without getting hot food.

So, before that, let's enjoy the joy of returning triumphantly!
So, on the day when the first snow fluttered and landed in the fourth year of Chuping, Chang'an Avenue was already full of water.The common people gathered into an endless crowd and rushed towards the gate of Qingming City. It is no exaggeration to say that it was indeed a crowd of people, shoulder to shoulder.People squeezed and rushed over, shouting loudly, like crazy and drunk.Competing for the first time since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Han Dynasty won a big victory out of Guanzhong!

The captain of Sili and the soldiers of Chang'an Ling were obviously not fully prepared for this.Faced with the enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an, they can only hold hands and connect with each other to clear the way for the army.However, even though everyone is sweaty and exhausted, they have no complaints or regrets... Otherwise, how could they be so close to the idol in their hearts!

Finally, Liu Xie, wearing a fiery red war robe, riding on the Xiliang horse Zhao Yebai, with a young but handsome face and a very manly smile, slowly appeared in the realization of the people of Chang'an .

Countless paper festoons were thrown at Liu Xie, but instead of stopping them, he took them and returned them to the people.When Zhao Yebai's horseshoe slowly stopped fifty steps away from Weiyang Palace, he turned his head slowly and shouted to the people in the city: "Zhen, I'm back!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" In Chang'an City, all the common people and soldiers knelt down and pulled their throats in response...
