Chapter 67 Zhao Yun is forced here (please support)
"hiss!"
He Yan also took a breath of air at this time.
What Boss Cao faced in the Battle of Guandu was an extremely difficult mode.
From Xuzhou, to Yanzhou, and then to Yuzhou, they were crushed almost everywhere in terms of military strength!
Yuan Shao could send out five thousand soldiers and horses even if he cut off the grain supply, so how could he fight?
Moreover, the soldiers who go deep behind enemy lines and carry out "special missions" must be the elite of Yuan Shao's army, and they are definitely different from the recruits assigned to Liu Bei before!
In addition, Han Xun is also a trusted general under Yuan Shao. He has already gotten along well with his soldiers during Yuan Shao's battle to pacify Hebei. There is no such situation as Liu Bei's "general discord" before, and his combat effectiveness is definitely off the charts!
"It's more than that."
It turned out that Cao Cao's staff, including Guo Jia and Xun You, suspected that Han Xun's purpose was not only to provide food routes for Cao Cao's army, but also to go to Xuchang!
"Xuchang is empty now. If these five thousand people break through the defense line and go straight to Xuchang, it will be a disaster!"
Hearing this analysis, He Yan's face turned completely gloomy.
Unlike the previous petty fights, Yuan Shao actually sent a fierce general like Han Xun to Xuchang, which can only mean one thing -
Yuan Shao felt that it was time to end the battle!
It is very likely that the power of the Hebei faction has been almost polished by Yuan Shao at this time. Yuan Shao knew that it was time to stop, and he did not intend to let Cao Cao continue to linger, so he wanted to start closing the net.
Not surprisingly, in the next period of time, Yuan Shao's entire army will launch a fierce attack!
If Boss Cao can't insist on something happening behind Yuan Shao, then he will really follow Yuan Shao's script and become the bones of the Yuan family's hegemony.
Only then did He Yan understand how heavy the burden on Cao Ren was this time!
If Han Xun cannot be defeated and allows him to break through the defense line and approach Xuchang, then Boss Cao will send troops from Guandu to rescue him.
But the Guandu side is already stretched thin. If they divide their troops again, they will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and will be defeated like a mountain!
Seeing He Yan's gloomy look, Cao Ren stepped forward and ravaged him again: "Why are you panicking? As long as I'm here, Han Xun can't cross Jiluo Mountain! He can't reach Xuchang either!"
Seeing how confident Cao Ren was, He Yan felt less anxious.
"That's right! Uncle Ren will definitely defeat Han Xun successfully!"
When Cao Ren heard what He Yan said, he immediately said with a proud smile: "Of course!"

After picking up He Yan, Cao Ren's troops rested in Xuchang for another day and then marched in the direction of Jiluo Mountain.
He Yan also knew that this trip would be dangerous, so he put on the fish scale armor given to him by Cao Ren early and rode on a black horse to follow the army.
Don't ask why it's a dark horse and not the more coquettish white horse.
Everyone's war horses are black horses, but you are the only one riding a white horse. Are you afraid that the enemy will not know your special status?
certainly,
There are exceptions...
He Yan stared at Zhao Yun who was riding a white horse beside him, as if he wanted to spot a flower!
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Yun rode on his white horse and replied angrily: "It's not...ah!"
Originally, Zhao Yun sent He Yan away, but when Liu Ying and Liu Yue heard that He Yan was going to the battlefield, they cried so hard that they almost cried down the newly built brothel.
Liu Yue even said with trepidation that she would join the army with He Yan, and it would be best if they could die together on the battlefield!
Seeing this, Zhao Yun could only comfort his lord's daughter, and said: "With Cao Ren protecting He Yan, He Yan will be fine! If it doesn't work, I will protect him myself!"
It was meant as a polite statement, but Liu Yue, who had been crying so hard before, immediately stopped and happily took Zhao Yun's white horse and asked him to chase He Yan...
"Why!"
Zhao Yun looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees. There is no way for a girl to stay! If she can still see her lord Liu Bei, she must ask him to marry Liu Yue as soon as possible.
After hearing this, He Yan silently praised Liu Yue in his heart, and decided to reward Liu Yue with an opportunity to have breakfast with him after returning!
As for Zhao Yun,
He Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling numb in his heart when he saw such a hero like Zhao Yun...
It was only two days' journey from Xuchang to Jiluo Mountain, and the soldiers Cao Ren led this time were all elite. After only a day and a half, the outline of Jiluo Mountain could be seen.
Jiluo Mountain is far less majestic than other famous mountains, but because it is located in the Central Plains, it is one of the rare natural defense lines in this great plain.
After assessing the terrain, Cao Ren ordered his soldiers to set up camp at the foot of the mountain and guard the narrow mountain road.
From the layout of the camp at this time, we can see Cao Ren's future "Heavenly General" style. The camp was completed layer by layer with almost no flaws. It can be called a textbook layout.
Even Zhao Yun sighed when he saw Cao Ren's arrangement: "There are no empty warriors under the great reputation. Just from this arrangement, we can see that he manages the army in a strict manner."
He Yan made peace: "How does this compare with the soldiers under the command of the general in Hebei?"
Zhao Yun was about to answer when he heard this, but the feeling of despair in his heart made him smile bitterly.
The last time he fought in Hebei was when he followed Gongsun Zan.
Later, whether it was the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao or Liu Bei's competition in the Central Plains in Xuzhou, Zhao Yun did not participate in it, so how could he give some advice?
Seeing Zhao Yun's hesitant expression, He Yan thought he was afraid of offending Cao Ren and did not dare to speak, so he did not embarrass him.
"Forget it, Zilong, come over and hang out with me somewhere else."
While Cao Ren was setting up the camp, He Yan and Zhao Yun climbed up Jiluo Mountain together, overlooking the entire wilderness in front of them.
As dusk approaches, the clouds in the sky are turned into gold, and the occasional sparrows that fly by quickly disappear.
Even with the noisy barracks at the foot of the mountain, this empty scenery still makes people feel lonely as "a drop in the ocean".
"Xiao Zhao~"
As soon as He Yan opened his mouth, Zhao Yun's head was filled with black lines.
"Actually, I knew before I came that our army would definitely win this battle. But when Uncle Ren said that Yuan Shaojun's target was Xuchang, I could no longer remain as calm as before."
"The reason is that there are already too many people in Xuchang who can't live without me. At the same time, there are also too many people who can't live without me."
Looking back, He Yan's face, which was protected by his helmet and basin collar, was staring directly at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was speechless for a moment, obviously not knowing what He Yan was doing with his rare "affection".
"Although I promised you before that I would not let you go to the battlefield again, but now, I may have to break my promise."
He Yan raised his draped arm and placed it heavily on Zhao Yun's shoulders: "I hope you can go out with Uncle Ren's troops tomorrow to resist Han Xun together!"
Zhao Yun bit his lip, the usually forthright man became a little hesitant.
Fighting for Cao's army changed its nature for him.
but,
Indeed, as He Yan said, he is not the only one who cares deeply about Xuchang.
Zhao Yun came into contact with more people in Xuchang and spent more time together.
Although I still despise Cao Cao's actions of massacring the city and holding the emperor hostage, Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and everyone else is everyone else.
Especially Cao Zhang and Cao Zhen, after Zhao Yun got along with each other a few days ago, he became more and more fond of these two brave young men.
Not to mention, there are Liu Bei's two wives as well as Liu Ying and Liu Yue in Xuchang. Coupled with the decline in his heart before, it all turned into a huge whirlpool at this moment, sucking Zhao Yun into it and making it difficult to escape.
"call."
Zhao Yun let out a long breath: "Only this time!"
But when he said these words, Zhao Yun's fighting spirit was so strong that his voice even trembled...
Zhao Yun repeated it again awkwardly: "It's really only this once!"
But what he got was He Yan's nonchalant perfunctory response: "Yeah, I understand."
"What I said is true!"
"oh……"
"I'm not going!"
"casual."
"..."
