The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 142

Ma Chao thought that the capture of Pingyang this time would finally wash away some shame. If Guo Yuan was killed in the camp, it would be even more icing on the cake, and his father would not be displeased with him all day long.He vowed firmly: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely wipe out Guo Yuan's entire army in this battle."

Ma Teng said: "That's not necessary, as long as you frustrate the other army's spirit, it's fine. Fighting a war is not something that happens overnight, so don't be impatient."

When Ma Chao walked out of the tent, he felt that his heart was in a panic. My father looked down on me a little bit.Show him your hand today.Let me take 3 horses, and even if I win, I won't show my ability. I take [-], and I will defeat tens of thousands of enemies.So in order to show his strength in front of his father, he and Guo Yuan Yang Qiu led three thousand soldiers out of the camp to rob the village.

Knowing that this was Ma Chao's own assertion, Pang De thought it was the lord's stinginess. He wondered, "Guo Yuan brought 4 to 3000 horses, but why does the lord only send [-] people to rob the camp? Will it succeed, my lord?"

Ma Chao rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Three thousand is not enough. For a fool like Guo Yuan, in my opinion, only 100 people can defeat [-] enemies."

Pound said without hesitation: "Then let's take 100 people there." Ma Chao said angrily: "Lingming, what do you mean? Do you have two intentions and want to kill my son? The year before last in Youzhou, Why did you let Yuan Xi go, do you want to join the enemy?"

These words made Pound sweat all over his body, his back was icy cold, and he hurriedly said: "Pound has absolutely no intentions, the eldest son must not misunderstand, as for Yuan Xi, how could Pang De let him go on purpose, my son? Don't listen to slander." What I saw with my own eyes, could it be false, Ma Chao thought, now that the enemy is at hand, let's not bother with you, if you find out that you have objections in the future, you will wait for me.

A temporary wooden wall was erected around Guo Yuan's barracks.The production method is to cut two rows of trunks first, one row is long and the other row is short, burn the bottom of the trunks and bury half of them in the soil. The long trunks are arranged in a tight row outside, and the short trunks are arranged in a row inside. Wooden boards are placed between the two rows of tree trunks, which are divided into upper and lower layers, so that the part of the long trunks grows into a protective wall. The upper layer of the wooden boards can allow soldiers to patrol and watch, and the lower layer can store defensive weapons and allow soldiers to shoot arrows.A small team consists of fifty soldiers plus one captain and one deputy. It is the same when camping. Everyone's tents are facing each other, and drainage ditches are dug around the tents and between the camps.Soldiers are strictly prohibited from running around between camps, and tents are not allowed to run around in the camp.This can prevent self-disruption, and the enemy's sneak attack will not cause chaos, and each can do his own thing.

Guo Yuan knew that Ma Chao was good at fighting, so he didn't plan to make a quick decision. He had already sent someone to Taiyuan to ask the senior officials for reinforcements.Xia Zhao led the soldiers to fight, but was scolded by him.Let the soldiers who joined the army announce the seventeen 54 orders to cut the army, requiring everyone to strictly guard the gate of the village, not to fight, to control the main road from Pingyang to Shangdang, and wait for the army to rescue.

Ma Chao took Pang De Yang Qiu, with a human title and a horse's mouth bound, wrapped the horse's hooves with cloth, and quietly approached Guo Yuan's camp.Guo Yuan and the soldiers were so tired that they had already fallen asleep in the middle of the night.But he has experienced battles for a long time and knows that when the village is unstable, he is most likely to be robbed by others, so he arranged fifty teams at the front gate facing Pingyang, with nearly [-] guards, who rotated every two hours. A thousand soldiers above were preparing for battle with spears in their hands, while the soldiers below hid in the space between the two rows of tree trunks, with their bows fully drawn, fully alert.Due to time constraints, there was no time to dig trenches and lock the village with iron chains. It was right for Ma Chao to choose this time to rob the camp, but the mistake was that the public was self-willed and led too few people.It doesn't matter if the number of people is small, Zhang Liao has [-] cavalry to break Dongwu's record of [-].The problem is that although Ma Chao is brave and outstanding, his command ability is not as good as that of Zhang Liao Yujin.In addition, Guo Yuan's method of going down to the village is quite unique, so he didn't take advantage of it.

The night is boundless and ubiquitous, like a sleeping sea, in which all things are deeply trapped and become captives of darkness.Ma Chao's [-] troops were like a group of fish swimming in the sea, quietly approaching Guo Yuan's camp, which was like a monster with its mouth wide open in the distance.

Soldiers in the camp, with the help of the bright lights in the camp, can see about fifteen or sixty feet away from the camp. This distance is the sure-kill distance for bows and arrows, and it is also the distance for the enemy soldiers to charge.Days of fatigue affected the soldiers' vision and hearing. When Ma Chao's army was twenty feet away, some people vaguely saw ghosts, shaking and advancing.Everyone immediately became tense, and someone shouted: "Look quickly, is it an enemy soldier?" The captain in charge of patrol did not dare to blow the horn rashly, stretched his neck out from the two wooden fences, and looked at the enemy with his blood-red eyes. He glanced twice, retracted immediately, and shouted: "Hurry up, blow the horn, the enemy soldiers are coming to rob the camp."

It's too late to blow the trumpet now.The specialty of Xiliang soldiers is fast horses, long spears, and good at rushing to field battles.It's a bit of the style of Hu people and Qiang people.The horn in Guo Yuanzhai became Ma Chao's charge horn. At the same time, the Xiliang soldiers who had been suppressed for a long time roared in unison, galloped violently, and spit out the murderous spirit that had been suppressed in their chests for nearly half an hour, piercing through the night and into the sky.

Ma Chao took the lead and rushed towards the gate of the village with his gun.Strange, why don't the soldiers in the village shoot arrows?Are they all idiots?A lightning-like consciousness flashed through his mind, it's fucking broken, how could I forget——

The sitting horse neighed suddenly, its hooves gave way and fell to the ground, and dozens of horses around it also neighed miserably at the same time.Pound kicked the stirrup anxiously behind him. When Ma Chao rushed out, he remembered Yuan Jun's barbed wire. He was going to remind him, but before he could say it, Mr. Ma had already rushed out.

"Let the arrows, let the arrows go!" Guo Yuan ran out from the handsome tent in his underwear, and shouted at the top of his voice while running, "Let the arrows go, let all the arrows go, shoot the shit."

A round of strong arrows was shot from the hands of the two thousand soldiers guarding the village, forcing Ma Chao's army back in chaos, thus buying time for the soldiers to put on their clothes and arrange their formation.

Ma Chao jumped up from his horse, stepped on the corpses of the people and horses along the way, fled to the middle road, pulled a war horse, ordered the soldiers to dismount and hold up their shields, stepped on the corpses of the people and horses, and rushed through the village on foot.He also ordered Pang De to hold down the cavalry behind him, and rush in when the infantry opened the gate of the village.

Guo Yuanjun, who was sleeping, heard the sound of horns and the sound of killing, jumped off the wooden bed, put on leather armor, picked up spears, bows and arrows and rushed out.After a while of chaos in the camp, they were overwhelmed by the squad leaders. Everyone organized their own squads, and then gathered under their captains, and the archers spread towards Zhaishan in batches and angles.The infantry ran up the wooden ladder made of tree trunks to the second-floor platform, and began a bloody battle with Ma Chaojun.The cavalry stood still, calmly like clay sculptures and wood sculptures, watching the battle in their respective defense areas, ready to meet the enemy or break through.

Ma Chao felt that something was wrong with the name, it was a camp robbery here and there, it was like a siege.The opponent's two-story Zhai Shan was almost one foot high, with arrows flying wildly below and spears above.His soldiers struggled to climb halfway up Zhaishan, but were stabbed with spears, and fell to the ground to become giant hedgehogs with bristling arrows.Although the exhausted Guo Yuanjun had more casualties than theirs, Ma Chao brought too few people to withstand such consumption. Even if one soldier could exchange for two, he could not afford to fight. There are 4 more.

Ma Chao saw that it was not good, and he could not do a loss-making business. He looked at the situation and decisively ordered to retreat.He also fought with his father since he was a child, so of course he would not give Guo Yuan the opportunity to hide and kill later. The cavalry in the team prepared for battle on the spot, and the infantry who rushed to kill turned back first, bypassed the two wings of the cavalry, and withdrew.The enemy soldiers are marching at every step, retreating 100 people by 100 people.

Xia Zhao committed the problem of greed for small profits again. When he saw Ma Chao withdrawing his troops, he opened the gate of the village to pursue him.Guo Yuan grabbed him and said, "I can't pursue. Although the enemy troops withdrew, they did not mess up. Although our army won, our losses were much greater than that of the other army. Brothers are too tired and need to rest. They cannot fight with Ma Chao." , let him go if he wants to go."

In view of the serious lesson last time, Xia Zhao did not persist.He didn't dare either, Guo Yuan's eyes were staring round, and his fingers as thick as carrots almost crushed his shoulders. "The last general understands, the general has a good opinion. A good opinion."

On the way back, Ma Chao scolded Pang De again: "Ling Ming, I think you really have two minds. The fight was so fierce just now, why didn't you charge forward? It's not your character." Ma Chao's face was pulled together. , into a bun shape.Shy and angry, his face was as blue as the iron gun in his hand.Pang De thought to himself, if I jumped into the Yellow River, I wouldn't be able to clean myself up. If I lose the battle, I'll be the one to rely on. I'm so suspicious that something will happen sooner or later.That's me, if it's someone else, don't scare you away.Pang De smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master, I want to remind you to be careful of the barbed wire, haven't we seen that thing in Youzhou before, but when I was about to say it, you have already rushed out, and I have no choice but to stay here Get ready to respond.

Ma Chao drew a bloodstain on the horse's stock, he raised his horse faster, caught up with Yang Qiu in front, and said with a sneer, "Anyway, I just feel that you are ambiguous and turned towards outsiders."

Pound remained silent for a long time.It's really a strange injustice through the ages.

For three days in a row, Guo Yuan closed the gate of the village tightly. He did not attack the city and did not call for battle. He just asked the soldiers to rest in pairs.Ma Teng couldn't wait, he had to advance to Shangdang immediately, or he would voluntarily withdraw from Pingyang City and return to Meicheng, because he didn't have enough food.Guo Yuan went down to the stronghold and blocked his way. If he didn't pull out this nail, the battle would be impossible.

Ma Chao was defeated repeatedly, and his father's prestige had been lost. Ma Teng ordered Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie to lead troops to call on Guo Yuan, and left him to defend the city with him.Ma Chao's anger almost burst his ribs, and he could hear the crackling sound of his ribs.

Ma Dai brought [-] soldiers and horses to the gate of Guo Yuan's village, but he didn't dare to approach it. He was also afraid of barbed wire.He just yelled at the spot: "Guo Yuan, you fucking come out to me, let's fight to the death, come out." Guo Yuan didn't fight him, he had already made up his mind, Ma Teng didn't have enough food, and if he wanted a quick battle, he didn't want to get along with him. He fights to see what he can do.

Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and the three brothers scolded backwards, their mouths were dry and their lips were blistered, and Guo Yuan was not scolded.

In a fit of anger, Ma Dai swung his troops to attack the stronghold.Guo Yuan has not been idle these days. He cut down all the trees near the camp and made a lot of lumber. The camp is on a high terrain with a slope. The lumber was thrown from the second layer of the shanty, and it was chattering. Rolling all the way down, the lethality is not much, but it can prevent the opponent's cavalry from advancing, and can also suppress the speed of the infantry. By the way, it is no problem to crush one or two unlucky soldiers into meatloaf.

Ma Dai attacked for two hours, but under the opponent's bow and arrow and the rolling log, it was difficult to make an inch.Immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops, and went back to make a long-term plan.

"I didn't expect this Guo Yuan to be very cunning, so what should I do if he doesn't fight?" Ma Dai spread his hands helplessly.Ma Chao was very happy next to him, and everyone didn't understand his mood. If Ma Dai returned victorious, he would lose face, and he might not be able to hold his head up in the future.That's good, it's not that Ma Chao is incompetent, hey, it's that Guo Yuan is too good.

"This Guo Yuan is indeed a famous general in the world, not inferior to Cao Cao." Ma Chao said sincerely.In order to cover up his failure, he deliberately blows Guo Yuan into the sky.

Ma Teng knew his son, he knew he farted, Guo Yuan was an unknown soldier before, and a brave general is a brave general. He had never heard of commanding a large army to fight, and if he won a battle, he would be comparable to the God of War Cao Cao, nonsense.

Ma Teng looked back at Zhang Ji and Fu Qian and said, "Do you two gentlemen have any plans?" Zhang Ji hesitated and said, "In my opinion, the most important thing now is to send someone to Sizhou to ask Mr. Zhong Yao to allocate grain and grass. Try to advance slowly, and find a way slowly." Fu Gandao; "Army supplies are one aspect. It is best to ask Prime Minister Cao to send troops to attack Liyang on the eastern front to cooperate with our army. In addition, Fu Gan has a plan to advance by retreating. Take some risks, I don’t know if the lord can accept it.”

Ma Teng said: "Where to retreat, you can't retreat as soon as you get Pingyang, so these brothers will die in vain?" Fu Gan said seriously: "Not only must we withdraw from Pingyang, but we must also cross the Fen River and retreat to Jiangcheng. Go, that will lead Guo Yuan to a dead end."

Ma Teng smiled wryly: "It sounds like our army is heading for a dead end."

Fu Gandao: "It is precisely because Guo Yuan has such an idea that he can use tactics to kill him." Zhang also didn't understand, and asked: "Jiangcheng has no danger to defend, and it is far away from Tongguan, and the road is difficult. The water source is extremely scarce, and there is even less food. It is simply a dead place. Wouldn’t it be self-defeating to go there?"

Fu Gan thought to himself, it's another vertical stick with an elm head.He laughed and said: "It's better to die. Is it better to die and live later? Jiangcheng is dead to our army, and it is even more dead to Guo Yuan. Once he gets there, he will never be able to stand up again. Fu Qian took out the marching map and laid it on the ground. On the low table, he pointed out; "Jiangcheng, here is located on the border of the River East, Hongnong is on the left of the official road, Mianchi in Hanoi is on the right, and Xiaoguan is only two hundred miles away from the defense line of Xiping prefect Duqian.Directly ahead, you will pass Yangcheng where Zhonglang General Fan Xian and Jun Weigu are stationed.After our army arrives in Jiangcheng, we can order Zhong Yao to order Fan Xian to let Guo Yuan enter the country, and then close the door and beat dogs.Secretly ordered Hanoi Sima Zhang Sheng to leave Mianchi, Hongnong prefect Zhang Yan to go out to Shanyang, Xiping prefect Du Qian to attack from behind, and Wei Gu cut off his return.Several armies cover and kill together, there is still a way for him to survive. "

Ma Teng was overjoyed: "It's a good move to lure the enemy deep, close the door and beat the dog. Mr. Guo Yuan is doomed this time, but what if he doesn't come after him?"

Fu Qiandao: "This matter is simple, we can ask Fan Xian to offer a letter of surrender to lure him."

Ma Teng said: "Okay, if it doesn't work, our army has no food and grass and can't fight for a long time anyway, so we will retreat to Guanzhong. If it succeeds, we can take advantage of the momentum to occupy Shangdang, and Bingzhou will no longer be owned by the Yuan family."

Five days later, when Guo Yuan heard the news that the Xiliang soldiers had withdrawn, he laughed and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, the rebel soldiers ate up all their food and stayed there." Then he ordered Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao to recapture Pingyang City .When Guo Yuan entered the city, the soldiers reported that Fan Xian of Hedong had sent someone to send a letter of surrender, claiming that he was willing to send troops to intercept Ma Teng.Guo Yuan weighed it over and over again, thinking, if what the letter said was true, then it would be easy to capture a county in Hedong, which would pose a major threat to Cao Cao on the western front.The matter is of great importance, so you have to go there to find out what is true.He didn't discuss with Deng Sheng and Xia Zhao, and directly ordered Deng Sheng's [-] troops to defend the city. He and Xia Zhao led troops across the Fen River and marched eastward.While dispatching troops and horses, they passed on the situation of the battle to senior officials and Jizhou.

The moment the word Fenhe jumped into my eyes, I almost stopped breathing: "It's over, Guo Yuan is dead, he's dead, this is his fucking fate again." Fenhe, my brother Guo, you must Can't cross the river!

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guo Yuan was killed by Zhong Yao after crossing the Fen River, so there should be nothing wrong.Jizhou is thousands of miles away from Pingyang, and there is no time for rescue.Even high-ranking cadres can't keep up with sending troops from Taiyuan.Is there any way to save Guo Yuan?I desperately thought about the plot of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and went through the whole book in my mind.Suddenly thought of one thing, yes, why did I forget Zhang Sheng in Hanoi and Zhang Yan in Hongnong, these two were former members of the Yuan family and surrendered to Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu.Later, he betrayed Cao Cao and surrendered to Gao Gan, probably because he was dissatisfied with the Cao thief.Why not try to instigate the two of them, I'm afraid it's too late.

I hastily sent a letter of divorce to the senior cadres, and ordered people to send it non-stop.When Gao Gan heard the news that Guo Yuan was about to cross the river, he was also very disturbed. He blamed this Guo Yuan for being too reckless. It is a taboo for soldiers to go deep alone.
