King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 278

Hebei seems to be peaceful, but undercurrents are surging, and in the south, after Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, there was another big battle. Since Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, before he settled down, he got the news that Yuan Shu attacked Cao Cao's rear.

In the third year of Jian'an, Liu Yu died, Liu He succeeded Zhao Gong, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu in the south, and obtained the whole territory of Xuzhou and the part south of the Yellow River in Qingzhou, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.After hearing the news, the princes of the world were all moved, especially Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu, who heard that Yuan Shao was defeated and set himself on fire. Liu Yu's thief, and then the news of Liu Yu's death, lamented that God has eyes.

Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal obtained by Sun Jian in Luoyang for soldiers and horses to conquer Yangzhou south of the Yangtze River. In fact, Yuan Shu had long dreamed of being an emperor. He proclaimed himself emperor, and returned to the mansion with a long sigh. Later, with the support of counselor Yang Hong, he embraced Yulei and proclaimed himself emperor the next day, and established the country as the Zhong family.

In fact, Yuan Shao's death meant that the Yuan family had withdrawn from the ranks of competing for the world. Originally, although Yuan Shu looked down on Yuan Shao as a concubine, he was still the Yuan family. No matter who was able to get a hand in the world, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were the glory of the Yuan family.However, Yuan Shao was indecisive and deeply disdainful by Yuan Shu, so he cooperated with Cao Cao, intending to take Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and then seize the world.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu overestimated himself too much, thought highly of himself, and even thought that if he had the jade seal, someone would support him to become emperor. When Yuan Shu became emperor, it happened to be the critical moment when Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu. The son's father-in-law, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are also considered in-laws, but Lu Bu returned to the marriage contract many times, seeing Cao Cao beat him into a mess, and his in-law Yuan Shu became emperor, so he wanted to take his daughter out of Cao Cao's siege and send him to Yuan Shu. , Let Yuan Shu send troops to save himself.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao had already seen through his plan and almost surrounded Lv Bu to death. Lv Bu returned to the city bravely.

When Yuan Shu learned that Lu Bu was about to be abolished, he watched from the other side. When Cao Cao and Lu Bu were in a stalemate, he raided Cao Cao's rear. In this way, Cao Cao's rear was empty. Then Lu Bu had also been beaten by Cao Cao, and then he annexed the two forces of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, becoming the most powerful prince in the Central Plains!
The ideal is full, but the reality is the backbone. Lu Bu was not strong enough and was defeated by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu's army had already left, so he had to bite the bullet. …………

"My lord, why do you value Liu Bei so much?" On the official road, Cao Cao's army was marching back to Fang Yuzhou, Xia Houdun asked Xun Yu beside him suspiciously.

"Oh?" Xun Yu glanced at Xiahou Dun amusedly, and said with a smile, "You still care about this when you fight wine with that Zhang Fei?" Cao Cao's confidant is jealous?

Xiahou Dun scratched his head and said strangely, "Dun is not a stupid person. Although I don't know what the meaning of Mr.'s move is, I feel that Mr. will not do it for no reason. I think Liu Bei must be very human!"

"Good! In the future, Yuan Ren will be the commander-in-chief, so the lord should have nothing to worry about!" Looking at Xiahou Dun's clear eyes, Xun Yu knew that he had never been drunk, and smiled and said, "Liu Bei is not to be underestimated. The place where the three of them lie Has it been settled?"

"I have ordered my guards to arrange the three of them properly, and let them temporarily stay in the camp to protect the reality of the camp. I sent more people." Liu Bei learned that Yuan Shu proclaimed the emperor and then attacked Cao Cao's rear, so he immediately called for battle, hoping to follow Cao Cao To attack the anti-thief transportation, Cao Cao handed Liu Bei over to Xiahou Dun for placement.
"Okay!" Xun Yu nodded, got up and said, "It's late at night, you go to rest for a while, Meng De's first army is fighting Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Yuan Shu has far more troops than Meng De, I will arrive as soon as possible to help Meng De !"

"What you said is very true!" Xia Houdun clasped his fists.Then he said with some hesitation, "I heard that Mr. Liu said that he would take Liu Bei and the other three with him?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said, "For the time being, the three of you will be included under your command. They have extraordinary abilities, so don't underestimate them!"

"Promise!" Xiahou Dun said as ordered, "So, sir, I'll take a rest, and I will retire at last!"

Xun Yu said, "Yuan Rang also go to rest, oh, that's right... We will lead the rear army to support the road to Yuzhou. You will handle all matters big and small. If you have something unresolved, you can come and ask me!"

Xiahou Dun was overjoyed at first, and then surprised, and said, "Dun dare not forget what you said. Rest now, sir, and I will leave!" After speaking, he was about to leave, but Xun Yu called to stop him.

"This is your commander-in-chief. Where do you want to go?" Xun Yu shook his head with a smile on his face, got up and glanced at the embarrassed Xiahou Dun, and said softly, "Anxin, this is your first time as commander-in-chief. The key Somewhere, someone will definitely give a reminder, but only this time! Alright, I'm leaving!"

"Send off, sir!" Xun Yu was the number one adviser under Cao Cao's command, and these old generals of Cao Cao respected him very much.

"Okay, I'll go by myself!" Xun Yu walked to the big tent door, turned around and said, "You should still think about the future battle in your mind, how to arrange your troops, so as not to be in a hurry when you get there." After finishing.Xun Yu lifted up the tent at the door and walked out.

Only Xiahou Dun was left with a somewhat uncertain expression.I saw him pacing a few steps in the tent and said hesitantly. "Well, what sir said is very true. I am a commander. If it is not good to bother you, what is the use of me as a commander? Well, read through the military books again, so as not to forget it before the battle!" So, Xiahou Dun Watched "Wu Tao" all night

The next day, Xiahou Dun commanded the soldiers to leave the camp and flee to Yuzhou with a sleepy face, taking advantage of this time.Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to go to Xiaopei to attract a thousand soldiers. Xun Yu organized his own army and let Liu Bei take charge of it, but under the name of Xiahou Dun.

Because the name of General Xiahou Dun is here, even Zhang Fei has no objection, saying that those two men drank all the twenty altars of wine. If Xun Yu hadn't stopped drinking, they would have drank no more than two more jars. The ten jars of wine are worth the money, Xiahou Dun and Zhang Fei seem to be kinder to each other, but only a little

Because Xiyang was broken by Yuan Shu's general Chen Ji, Xiahou Dun led his troops to attack Xiyang. In this battle, Xiahou Dun gave orders, and Xun Yu never intervened.

Xiahou Dun first ordered Zhang Liao to lead [-] troops to fight outside the city of Yanyang, but Chen Ji, who was brave enough to send troops to meet him, what kind of person is Zhang Liao?With only three to five points of force, and only a few rounds later, Chen Ji was almost shot to death by Zhang Liao.When I was frightened and trembling, I sent all five generals under my command, Yan Zheng, Jiang Jai, Li Yu, Tao Bao, and Liang Tan, to fight Zhang Liao alone!
Six men and six horses fought in a regiment, and the sounds of weapons clashing kept coming and going. Seeing this, Xiahou Dun was furious, and was about to send Li Tongtong to help Zhang Liao, but suddenly saw the smile on the corner of Xun Yu's mouth. , moved in his heart, watched the changes quietly, and was even more surprised that Xun Yu trusted Zhang Liao so much.

Sure enough, as Xiahou Dun expected, Zhang Liao, who was surrounded by five enemy generals, turned out to be more and more courageous, and killed Liang Tan in two or three strokes. Thousands of Cao soldiers shouted and their morale was greatly boosted. "Excellent martial arts!" Seeing Zhang Liao's one-to-five opponents, Xia Houdun felt admiration in his heart, and quickly ordered the soldiers to beat drums to cheer for Zhang Liao.

Amidst the sound of rumbling drums, Zhang Liao's spear was like a swimming dragon, concealing the important parts of the four generals' bodies. What's unbelievable is that his moves were so ingenious.But no matter how the four generals attack, Zhang Liao is as gentle as a mountain, his marksmanship is both offensive and defensive, and he is impeccable.

Smiling playfully, Xun Yu turned his eyes to Zhang Liao in the arena, seeing Zhang Liao's face was stern, before Xun Yu finished what he was thinking, Zhang Liao swung his gun in the arena and aimed straight at Li Yu's face, the spear was in a hurry.

Li Yu was frightened, and hastily took out his gun to block back. Seeing this, the three generals Yan Zheng, Jiang Jai, and Tao Bao attacked Zhang Liao's back where his marksmanship was out of reach. Zhang Liao had expected that There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he turned around abruptly, the gun was like a thunderbolt, tapped Yan Zheng and Tao Bao on the chest twice, then turned around again, retracted the gun and flicked it, blocking Jiang's jaw weapon.

Yan Zheng and Tao Bao looked at each other in disbelief, then looked at the bloody holes in their respective chests, and then turned over and fell off their horses, "Okay!" Xiahou Dun shouted loudly, and thousands of Cao soldiers cheered Zhang Liao with guns, and the momentum was overwhelming.

"How is it possible?" Seeing that Zhang Liao had killed two of his colleagues in a short time, and was able to block his weapon in time, with the help of God, he felt a little hesitant for the first time, who was quite confident in his martial arts in the past. Jiang Jaw Lost his mind, but how could Zhang Liao lose his mind?With a light flick of the gun, Zhang Liao cut a bloodstain on Jiang's jaw and throat, and immediately the blood flowed profusely, splashing all over the horse's back. With a scream, he fell off the horse.

Li Yu swallowed the saliva in his mouth, terrified in his heart, he waved his gun, and turned his horse away. Amidst the laughter of thousands of Cao Jun, Zhang Liao shook his head, put away his spear, took out his bow and set an arrow, and shot it out. Right in the middle of Li Yu's back, the latter's body shook, and then he fell on the horse's back.

Wait for the horse to come back to Yuan Jun's formation with Li Yu's body.Yuan Shu's general Chen Ji hurried forward, breathed out, sighed sadly, and then looked at Zhang Liao with hatred.Zhang Liao didn't care whether Chen Ji hated him or not, he rode his horse around a few small circles, and shouted, "Who dares to fight me?" The thousands of Yuan troops were completely silent, and no one or general dared to fight Zhang Liao.

"In that case" Zhang Liao looked at the army behind him, Xia Houdun understood, and ordered to shout, "Wenyuan Huwei! Now the enemy is frightened. Follow me to kill you!" Thousands of Cao troops swarmed up, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Xu Huang , Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the five generals are like tigers running into a herd of sheep, killing everyone they see, as if no one is in the land, no one in Yuan Jun can stop the five men together, and the defeat is obvious. Chen Ji panicked and was secretly shocked. Ming Jin hurriedly retreated, in order to escape for his life, he even ignored the soldiers behind him, fled into Xiyang alone, pulled up the suspension bridge, and ordered the bowmen under his command to shoot indiscriminately.Shoot Cao Jun's random arrows back.
