Li Jue saw that he was being entangled by Zhang Liao, Guo Si was suppressed by Lu Bu, and Zhao Yun was no longer able to restrain him. His horses clashed and killed another general.
He knew that if he continued like this, he would never get a good deal. When he was hesitating, he heard the beating of drums at the top of Anyi City, and two troops with the banners of Cao Jun and Baibo Army rushed out.
He didn't dare to fight, so he feinted a shot and walked back. Zhang Liao was about to charge, and the flying bear army surged out from behind Li Jue, isolating the two sides.
Lu Bu saw that the Flying Bear Army was protecting Li Jue and Guo Si and was retreating. Although Li Jue and Guo Si suffered a lot of casualties, they were still able to maintain their formation. He knew that the Flying Bear Army was an elite soldier who had fought for a long time and could not pursue them, so he rode back.
When Cao Cao saw it at the top of the city, he sighed: "The Liangzhou army is indeed the strongest army in the world. If I can get it, why worry about the world not being able to pacify!"
The generals of Cao's army were silent. They had fought many battles in the past few years. From a ragtag group that no one could defeat at the beginning, they were gradually able to compete with the princes of all parties.
But what troubles them is the background.
Compared with the Liangzhou Army, which has been in business for many years, has strong soldiers and horses, and is fully equipped, the current weapons and equipment of Cao Cao's army are really not up to par.
That's why Cao Cao was so eager to find a way to break the situation. He knew that it was absolutely impossible to get ahead under Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was already wary of himself and was always on guard against making himself bigger.
Therefore, Cao Cao risked falling out with Yuan Shao to serve the emperor this time, and he was desperate. As long as he had the emperor's edict, he could gather scattered forces and take the opportunity to strengthen himself!
In Cao Cao's expectation, both the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army were included in his annexation list, but now both were intervened by Yuan Xi, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
The plan discussed by Cao Cao and Xun Yu that day was to wait until the summer harvest to collect grain, then capture Chenliu to stabilize the rear, and then go to Luoyang to welcome the emperor, but Xun You pointed out that it would probably be too late.
He believed that after the summer harvest, Jizhou and Youzhou were likely to take action against the Black Mountain Army. If the Black Mountain Army was destroyed, the Yuan family would be able to approach Sili, which would be a heavy blow to Cao Cao.
But if he welcomes the emperor early, Cao Cao can use the emperor's edict to join forces with the Black Mountain Army, thus narrowing the strength gap with Yuan Shao.
As for the Baibo thieves around the emperor, they will definitely be annexed. The four generals Baibo are too much of a hindrance to the emperor and there is no need to exist anymore!
Even if these plans are implemented smoothly, it will take at least several months. After the summer harvest, the variables will be too great.
Cao Cao was convinced and immediately formulated a series of plans.
Abandon Chenliu, go straight to Hedong, welcome the emperor, annex the Baibo bandits, join forces with the Black Mountain bandits, seize Sili, and then take advantage of the situation to capture Jingzhou southward!
All the counselors were filled with admiration. Just as they were making careful plans, a piece of news came like a bolt from the blue.
The Youzhou Army used troops against Heishan in advance!
Cao Cao was shocked and immediately responded. He acted decisively and used Yuan Shang's army to secretly penetrate the Jizhou Passage and go straight to the east of Hedong to directly welcome the emperor!
Yuan Xi did not expect Cao Cao's move. After he learned about it, he lamented that Jiang was still too hot. He was grateful that he had taken precautions and arranged in advance for Zhao Yunju to go south to Hanoi.
In this way, he barely had time to catch up and compete with Cao Cao for this fleeting opportunity.
By chance, Zhao Yun Jushou's lone army not only ruined Cao Cao's plan to seize Huaicheng, but also rushed to Anyi with Lu Bu in time, thwarting Cao Cao's plan again.
After Cao Cao came to Anyi, he heard Cao Ren talk about the incident in Huaicheng, and sighed to Cao Ang: "Having a son should be like Yuan Xianyi."
"If you were half as capable as him, I would be relieved."
After hearing this, Cao Ang lowered his head deeply and said, "Ang must be careful and not let my father down."
Now Cao Cao was standing on the top of the city, watching Zhao Yun's army return to the formation, and he felt jealous in his heart.
Yuan Benchu's three sons are each more powerful than the other. How did they teach this?
During the holidays, these three people will definitely become a big problem. If they join forces, they will have a headache!
We must find a way to drive a wedge between the three of us!
Zhao Yun and Jushu asked their men to clean the battlefield and bring back the wounded and dead. They waited until all their own soldiers had returned to their positions before leading their troops back to the camp. This time, there were over a hundred casualties, but most of them were wounded, and because most of the soldiers in the front line were wearing armor,
All suffered minor injuries.
These wounded soldiers were carried into the camp, and doctors had already come out to treat them. They cleaned the wounds with hot water, sutured them with needles, applied herbs, and fed them medicinal soup.
Although this treatment plan is crude, it is already the most appropriate method that can be adopted on the battlefield of this era.
As for wound infection, which is unavoidable, one can only take oral herbal medicine to enhance some resistance and help soldiers survive fever.
Lu Bu also asked Zhang Liao to count the casualties. He found that in the battle for an hour, the most elite cavalry on his side had hundreds of casualties. This was not a small number, and his face darkened.
Moreover, unlike the Youzhou Army, these soldiers had no means of treatment. They could only treat each other when they were injured, struggling to go to the river to clean their wounds, and the injured bandaged each other.
Lu Bu was irritated and rode his horse to the gate of the camp. He looked at Zhao Yun's camp opposite, where teams of doctors were brewing herbs in an orderly manner. He thought to himself that the Yuan family seemed to be very good at logistics, right?
He looked up at Anyi not far away, and his mood became worse and worse. Today, he and the Youzhou army were standing in front of him, letting Cao Jun and Baibo bandits on the city wall watch the fun!
He felt resentful in his heart. If he had known that Cao Cao had taken the advantage, it would be better not to come!
Even if Yuan Shu's army is approaching Huaicheng, he is waiting outside Anyi City, just like a fool!
Thinking of his wife and daughter in Huaicheng, Lu Bu even wanted to quit. If there was no progress in Anyi, would it be better for him to go back?
There seems to be no chance of counting on the emperor Liu Xie. I am afraid that he has a new group of ministers around him now. Will he still care about himself?
When he was worrying about gains and losses, the Anyi city gate opened, and dozens of cavalry escorted several carriages towards Lu Bu's camp. The carriages crossed the moat, traveled several miles, and stopped in front of the camp gate.
When Lu Bu saw this, he showed a mocking look on his face, stepped forward on his horse and shouted: "What, is there another edict in the city?"
"Do you want me to retreat, or do you want me to pursue the Liangzhou army?"
The door of the front carriage opened, and Yang Biao and Kong Rong stepped out. Kong Rong winked at Lu Bu, and he and Yang Biao came to the front of the middle carriage.
The two opened the car door and one person got out.
Lu Bu had a sneer on his face, but suddenly his face froze.
The person who came was wearing an emperor's crown, and it was actually the emperor Liu Xie!
Liu Xie got out of the car, walked a few steps forward, came to Lu Bu's horse, bowed deeply to Lu Bu, and said, "I am sorry for Marquis Wen, and I have come here to apologize to Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu quickly got off his horse, supported Liu Xie, and said, "Why should Tianjia do this?"
Liu Xie raised his head and looked directly at Lu Bu, "When I was young, Marquis Wen was very loyal, but I did not repay him. After Marquis Wen left, my heart has been uneasy. Every time I think about it, I toss and turn and can't sleep at night."
"Today, Marquis Wen ignored the previous suspicion and personally took risks to save me from fire and water. However, due to various reasons, I was unable to respond to Marquis Wen in time. It is really my fault."
After hearing this, Lu Bu was greatly moved and said: "Bu has heard this from the Heavenly Family, and he will die without regrets!"
After hearing this, Liu Xie choked up and said, "I hope Marquis Wen will help me again!"
"Now I invite Marquis Wen to follow me into the city. I guarantee that no one will do anything against Marquis Wen again!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the emperor's appreciation, I will repay you with powder!"
Yang Biao watched the fight from the side and was very pleased. After so many things, Liu Xie had gradually matured, and his words showed a bit of a wise king!
Liu Xie also ordered Yang Biao to ask Zhao Yun to come out and pay homage: "Today's siege, the two of you have contributed most."
After hearing this, the two of them hurriedly bowed and said, "I am very frightened. We are here to protect you on the orders of Yuan Xianyi, the governor of Youzhou."
Liu Xie nodded slightly, "I understand in my heart, and I invite you two to follow me into the city."
Zhao Yun and Jushu looked at each other and obeyed, and immediately accepted the order. Zhao Yun arranged for his lieutenants to defend the camp, and then followed the emperor's motorcade with dozens of cavalry and Jushu.
Liu Xie took Lu Bu and boarded his chariot together. Zhang Liao followed behind on horseback, and the group headed into the city.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao rode side by side. Zhao Yun bowed his hands to Zhang Liao and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Brother Wen Yuan, for your help."
Zhang Liao quickly returned the greeting and said: "I don't dare, it's just a matter of raising my hands, and everything I do is putting the emperor's safety in danger."
The two of them rushed into battle together, cherished each other, and chatted with each other, feeling as if they had met at a late date.
The reason for this is that Zhang Liao is fundamentally different from other Bingzhou generals.
His ancestor Nie Yi was originally from a prominent family in Yanmen, and acted as a traitor for the Han Dynasty in the Mayi Conspiracy. However, in the end, the Mayi Conspiracy failed because the plan was leaked.
Nie Yi was implicated and was forced to change his surname ever since. Although the family's situation was not bad when Zhang Liao's generation arrived, after all, he was burdened with stigma and was always unable to hold his head high.
If Zhang Liao wanted to clear his family's reputation, he would definitely work hard to please the emperor and win the emperor's trust. Only then would he be able to clear his family's name.
On this point, he and Zhao Yun had a lot in common, and their conversations became more and more speculative.
In the carriage behind, Fu Shou listened to the voices outside the window and thought to himself, no wonder Liu Xie wanted to ride in a carriage alone. It turned out that he was riding in a carriage with Marquis Wen.
She gently lifted the car curtain, revealing a crack, and a faint smell of blood drifted in.
She was as calm as if nothing had happened. How many times had she smelled this bloody smell along the way?
At the beginning, the neck of Habayashiro next to him was penetrated by the arrow. He struggled to pull out the arrow, and the blood spurted out and splashed all over the people around him. Then he fell to the ground and expired.
Fu Shou was only a few feet away. She smelled the pungent smell of blood and vomited on the spot.
But as the Bingzhou Army attacked again and again, more and more people died. Fu Shou gradually got used to this kind of scene. When she was assassinated by the Yellow River, the blood of the guard next to her was splashed all over her head and face. At that time, she actually
There wasn't much of a reaction, it was much duller than I imagined.
Through the gap in the curtains, she looked at the unfamiliar cavalry beside the convoy, thinking that these were the reinforcements that had just repelled the Liangzhou Army. These people could even repel such a ferocious Liangzhou Army. Liu Xie would definitely be safe in the future.
Bar?
Seeing that the armors of these people were stained with blood, and the blood on many of their faces had not been wiped clean, but their faces showed a high-spirited look, Fu Shou actually felt a sense of peace that he had not felt for a long time.
