Cao Cao led his troops out of the sea of fire and did not panic Yuan Shao. Although this black-skinned dwarf unexpectedly rushed out of the camp gate and crashed into where he and the generals were gathered. It was indeed a bit unexpected for Yuan Shao, but since
This is the thickest part of the military formation, but there is really no need to panic because of Cao Cao's appearance. The opponent's troops only have a few thousand.
What really shocked Yuan Shao was the actions of Li Shushi and the Bingzhou Army.
They actually came here?!
Speaking of which, Yuan Fang's plan for Yuan Shao did not completely take into account the Bingzhou Army, a force that is a headache but has to be considered - why the headache? Because this force is its own system, not only has it made Yuan Shao's army feel
It is an extremely difficult force, and judging from the collected intelligence, the Bingzhou Army is undergoing subtle changes in both its ideology and political system.
Because of this, the Bingzhou Army can promote all kinds of unheard of and unseen crops brought back from nowhere in the areas under its jurisdiction, and can also promote more advanced production methods in the areas under its jurisdiction.
More reasonable management of merchants promoted the circulation of materials, developed a new class of people, and also made the land under their jurisdiction more prosperous.
This is also an important reason why Yuan Shao urgently wants to annex Cao Cao's army, because if the barbarians in the north and the enemies that suddenly appeared in Guanzhong had not slowed down the Bingzhou army, Yuan Shao believed that he only needed to give them another three to five years.
The difference with the Bingzhou Army
The distance will be further widened, and the Bingzhou Army's control over the land under its jurisdiction will be further strengthened. In another twenty years, no, it may only take ten years, and the Bingzhou Army will be able to fight against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, one against two.
Working together is no problem at all.
During this period, they may still have enough strength to go south to Yizhou, thus becoming a more powerful force than the Qin State.
Yuan Shao needs to race against time because time is his biggest enemy no matter how he looks at it.
Therefore, once the Bingzhou Army, a huge variable, is involved in this large-scale plan, and even becomes an obstacle to Yuan Shao's strategy, the success rate of this strategy will be reduced, and it is very likely that even if it directly declares failure.
That's why Yuan Shao sent a small force to attack Aocang - such a number of troops could rival Xiahou Dun who was guarding nearby. A draw at the Forbidden Station would be the limit. However, in a short period of time, this force pretended to be suspicious.
But it still prevented Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin from discovering the secret, and at the same time indirectly confused the Bingzhou Army.
Even if the Bingzhou Army can really devote its troops to the battle of Guandu. Out of the importance of their own supplies, they will give priority to the troops on the Aocang front line. By the time they react, Yuan Shao should be able to do so in Wuchao.
A memorial service was held for our former good friend and revolutionary partner Cao Cao Meng De.
But who would have thought that it was the flies-like bastards from the Bingzhou Army who were targeting him?
The only thing I don't know is maybe how many people Li Shushi brought with him this time - although according to common sense, Yuan Shao's intelligence system is also very powerful, so if Li Shushi's troops really have large-scale mobilization, even if he can't
I learned about it at the first time, but through various means
It can be known. After all, it is a long distance from Guanzhong to Guandu. At the speed of the army, even if Yuan Shao did not have those unscientific birds in Li Shushi's hands, the speed of delivering messages would definitely be faster. If it were the enemy,
If you are playing day and night or something, it will be faster.
However, Yuan Shao did not receive such information. Even Qu Yi's Sizhou Corps, which had been lying in Hanoi, had not made any large-scale mobilization. So the opponent must not have many troops.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was finally able to calm down a little. Although he knew that the opponent's troops were not large, he could not be careless. It should be noted that the Last Stand and the Battle of Pengcheng both proved that don't underestimate the power brought by a small group of elite soldiers.
Destructive power.
Hmm. It seems that Cao Cao, who was doing a trapped beast but still fights, once made such a background board, and was beaten up by the fledgling Sun Ce.
As for Yuan Shao...ah hahaha, anyway, the dignified Yuan Benzhu is not someone who can be underestimated at will.
Because of Yuan Shao's calmness and calmness, his subordinates who were somewhat uneasy after hearing a name that made their scalp numb gradually calmed down. Although they didn't know what Yuan Shao was thinking, as long as they
Seeing that calm and composed face, as well as the methodical actions of assigning tasks, the morale that was originally a little low immediately recovered a lot.
Think about it, even the prince Cao Mengde, who once could stand side by side with their lord, is now trapped in the sea of fire as the last trapped beast to fight. Then Li Shushi, who is also a prince, is actually not as scary as he imagined, and
Seeing how calm the lord is, he must have already thought of various countermeasures as he did against Cao Cao. So for those who are his subordinates, the only thing they have to do is to work hard and strive to make new achievements and become a leader.
Qualified minister of the dragon.
Yuan Shao's guess about the Bingzhou Army was not a big problem. In fact, Li Shushi did not bring many troops this time. After all, even if he and the Dou Corps temporarily fell into a new round of stalemate, they had once again achieved a delicate balance.
, but this does not mean that Li Shushi can mobilize a large number of troops and horses from Guanzhong to support the war situation in the Central Plains.
Now it's just a delicate balance, rather than a huge advantage.
Therefore, the number of soldiers and horses that Li Shushi sneaked into the Henan area this time was only 7,000. Although this number was not the limit of the troops that Li Shushi could mobilize, after taking into account the concealment and speed of the troop's movements, this number should still be more appropriate.
, let alone if it is really necessary, Qu Yi's Sizhou Army will basically be able to do so after several months of rest and reorganization.
Although he has recovered his strength, even if Qu Yi is still not fully recovered for the time being, both Guan Hai and Ma Teng have experience in commanding large corps in combat and commanding small units in intermittent combat. Even if they are just
It is only a small-scale troop mobilization. Wang Ling and Yang Fu, who joined the army and stayed in the Sizhou Corps, are also qualified to play the role of commanders.
However, although he did not lead many soldiers, the generals around him were star-studded - for example, Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang, two guys who had committed crimes and made meritorious deeds, probably would have stayed with Li Shushi shamelessly even if he had not led them, especially
Especially the former, even if you find an opportunity to knock out Li Shushi's bodyguard and then put on makeup to pretend to be someone else, as long as it's something related to battle, please don't overestimate Xiaoqiang's moral integrity. His persistence in this regard can be considered.
It's a breakthrough.
It is precisely because he can be regarded as a near-mo person. Zilongjiang, who was originally a good baby, was also led astray by Xiaoqiang.
It can be said that members of the personal guards such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, and the Ma brothers will inevitably be among the participants in the war. Others such as Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Cao Chun, Hua Xiong, and Guan Yu
, Zhang Jia, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Tai Shi Ci, and Gan Ning are naturally impossible to miss, and young people such as Wei Yan, Lu Meng, Hao Zhao, and Guo Huai are also qualified to participate in this battle.
The most noteworthy among them is the veteran general Gongsun Zan who strongly requested to follow Li Shushi in the war.
He didn't know where he got the news that Li Shushi was going to trouble Yuan Shao. The old general who was brought to Guanzhong by Huang Zhong from the Jizhou battlefield immediately put down all the matters in his hands and ran to Li Shushi, saying nothing.
He wanted to participate in the battle against Yuan Shao's army. Even if he was not allowed to become a general, it would be fine just to join the army as a personal guard by Li Shushi's side.
Obviously, the hatred between this man and Yuan Shao is higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and more blue than a man's heart. And the old man group he formed with Huang Zhong is either cute or vicious in his eyes.
Li Shushi reminded Li Shushi of those old men and women who specialized in the porcelain industry. If he didn't take them with him, Li Shushi was worried that he would be blackmailed and bankrupt.
So, all of a sudden, most of the key personnel of the Eastern Route Army that besieged the Tupou Corps were taken away. Ju Shou, who was appointed by Li Shushi as the commander of the left-behind army, didn't know whether to show expressions of gratitude or tears of gratitude because of the mess in his hands.
Distressed expression.
Anyway, Li Shushi didn't intend to care about Ju Shou's mood, and naturally he didn't want to care about the regretful expression of Fa Zheng because he was appointed as the deputy commander--this was Li Shushi's test of Fa Zheng. Look at this man's vengeful character.
To what extent, is he really the kind of person who becomes arrogant when he succeeds without caring about the overall situation?
Anyway, with Wang Ze watching from the side, if Fa Zheng really goes too far, he can stop it in time.
Although from a personal emotional point of view, Li Shushi felt that these backup methods should probably not be used this time.
Well, the reason why he is still thinking about these things that have nothing to do with the current battlefield is not because Li Shushi deliberately wanted to get distracted, but because he still needs to wait a little longer, waiting for his still buzzing
The brain returns to normal.
Although various methods have been used to protect the eardrums just now, it turns out that these protections can only prevent Li Shushi's ears from being deafened. It can be called strategic magic sound filling, and it is also magical.
The enhanced version of the special effects is indeed not something ordinary humans can endure. Not to mention a fragile and delicate hero like Li Shushi, even the rough-skinned and thick-bodied Xiao Qiang also looks like he has temporarily lost his fighting power, and his eyes are blurred and completely out of focus.
Only the owner of the voice, a certain white-faced accident-maker whose former "fascinating" appearance was no longer visible due to his beard, looked left, right, up, and down as if nothing was wrong.
Mr. Zhang, who doesn’t know what he did to make the world (sad), moved (sick), and earth (crazy), could survive this self-inflicted suicide unscathed.
"I have long heard that there is a fierce general beside the emperor with a voice as loud as a bell, but now I know that the rumors may not be enough."
People like Li Shushi had already "died heroically". One can imagine what kind of state the more "weak" Emperor would be in at this time. It can be said that if Liu Xie had not firmly grasped the reins and leaned on the horse, Liu Xie would have felt that he
Even if he fell off the horse, there would be no problem. In other words, this was probably the first time he encountered such a weird thing. Being so gifted to such an extent is intoxicating.
As for Cao Ren on the other side, he shrugged at Li Dian, who had an unhappy look on his face - this action was naturally learned from Li Shushi, and Li Dian could only give the other person a dumbfounded expression, and by the way, put it in his ears.
He took out the stuffed things. However, Li Dian finally understood how important this thing, which was worth five copper coins and was "gifted" by the people of Bingzhou, was really important. Although being hacked really made him feel quite unhappy, but
Now it seems that it is indeed worth the money.
But this unpleasant feeling is still so strong, how can I break it!
"Hehe, now that the greetings have been given, it's time for the 'Friend of Justice' to appear. Your Majesty, it's up to you~"
"...Can I really do that kind of thing?"
"In terms of age, Your Majesty is now an adult. In terms of ability, I was just a child in the countryside at the time. I can't compare to you, Your Majesty, who has worked hard on archery and horse training for these years. If you are worried about your own safety, isn't that right?
We can think that
Don't you believe us people? Tsk tsk tsk~ This is not good, Your Majesty, you have to believe in us guys, just like we believe in you. Use the sword in your hand to cut off the people on the other side who try to get their hands on the artifact.
Rebel...how about it?"
"Well, I believe in everyone, just like everyone who believes in me. Then, with the emperor's order, I order you to replace heaven and punish the traitors ahead. And I, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, will work with you.
exist!"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers and generals under Liu Xie's "leadership" felt that they seemed to have received blessings from somewhere. This feeling undoubtedly made the morale, which was not low in the first place, once again gain.
Greatly strengthened.
Roaring, roaring, and with a fanatical expression, this force, which could only be regarded as pieced together, charged towards Yuan Shaojun.
"I'm telling the truth. Are you playing with fire by doing this?"
Seeing the soldiers who were following Liu Xie to charge with enthusiasm, Xiaoqiang rarely rushed to the front row. Instead, he came a few steps behind Li Shushi and squeezed Chen Dao's children's shoes, which should have been in this position.
On the other hand, a certain young girl received a pair of hygienic balls that were quite unpleasant. Of course, it seemed that Xiaoqiang was neither in funny mode nor deep in battlefield fanaticism mode at this time, so even if Chen Dao really had a thousand
Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything. He silently followed Zhao Huang and ate ashes.
"Why do Fengxian feel so?"
"Because at that moment, I saw a feeling of 'confidence' in his eyes. This is a very dangerous feeling, especially for you, but also for our partners who have fought with you until now."
"So Fengxian, do you know what Jia Xu said about this emotion before?"
"Then what did the old fox say?"
"If you believe that you have the ability to do something and put in the effort and effort, but in the end you find that the enemy is far more terrifying than you imagined, what kind of mentality do you think you will have."
"The scariness is far beyond my imagination? Then continue to exercise until I die on the way to the challenge."
"So you are Lu Fengxian, but he is a noble emperor."
"But he can choose to be patient. He doesn't have to rush to the front line or anything. He can choose to wait for others to defeat the powerful enemy before he comes to grab the fruit."
"Hey, Fengxian, you have made great progress. But since even you know this, do you think he can beat him? Even if the enemy is extremely powerful, it takes a huge price to defeat that kind of enemy, but
As long as we win, what kind of terrible monsters will the survivors become? And what kind of support will they get?"
"...The most important thing is who can tolerate others snatching away the fruits of victory that he has gained so hard."
"Dong Zhongying made our Majesty understand the importance of strength, and we made him understand that if you want to change the current situation, you can only rely on your own hands, instead of placing all your hopes on others. Being with Cao Mengde made him realize
Maybe you can create a world with your own hands. If
If he can really rely on his own ability, even with a little external support, to get to the end, not to mention eating the entire fruit of victory, even if he gets a part of it, his bloodline, and his efforts will be able to reap his rewards.
That's the best result. But what if he collapses due to a miserable defeat in the middle?"
"But I still feel unwilling."
"That's natural, but after mobilizing all his strength to achieve his goal, what will he really have left after failure? Is it his reputation, his loyal subordinates, or his sophisticated vision... What do you think?
What else can there be, Fengxian."
"What a huge gamble."
"Yes, it is a gamble with the world as a bargaining chip. But no matter what the outcome is, it is not bad for me personally - it goes without saying that I won. Even if I lose, the seeds of change have been planted..."
"This is not good. None of us want you to lose. If you have the idea of losing from the beginning, believe me, I will beat you up!"
"Hmph~ If you dare to yell at me even though Tamago-chan is standing by, I will definitely write this down in my notebook."
"...Even so, I'm still going to beat you up!"
"Ahem, no kidding, no kidding. Even though I said the above, I'm just a hypocrite."
"Even hypocrites are much better than those who bring trouble to the world. At least if I had lived in Bingzhou since I was a child, maybe... I would have chosen a completely different path than now."
"No, no, no, Xiaoqiang can only be Xiaoqiang. Even if it mutates and evolves under any circumstances, it will only become Xiaoqiang. Change, or Xiaoqiang mk2 or something."
"No matter what, I have to beat you up to relieve the anger in my chest!!!"
Of course, Xiaoqiang was taught how to be a good person by Su Xiaololi who appeared next to him at some point.
only……
Looking at Xiaoqiang being repaired by Su Xiaololi, Li Shushi felt an unspeakable feeling in his chest - just as he said just now, he was indeed just a hypocrite, cloaked in lies, but walking a conspiracy
The road to home is just that he has been resisting the fact that he already knew, the thing that was destined from the beginning.
Therefore, even if he says that he is engaging in a bet, if it is actually a bet whose outcome has been known for a long time, then what should he count as the only one who may know the outcome? (To be completed.)
