When Cao Cao heard that the Han army was coming to fight, he urgently summoned his generals to discuss and make final arrangements.
When everyone heard that the Han army was approaching from the south, and the front line was less than fifteen miles away, their faces paled. Cao Cao said, "I will lead the central army in formation, and Chunyu Qiong will lead the troops to resist on the left. Who will lead the troops to resist on the right?"
For a moment, no one dared to respond, so they all secretly looked at Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong and other Cao Cao tribesmen. However, they saw that Xia Houyuan did not move his sword and looked calm. Finally, Ren City Prime Minister Li Qian, the Cavalry Commander, stood up and said: "Qian is willing to lead the army to the right." Cao Cao said happily: "Zhaoda leads the right margin, which suits me best. Miaocai, Zilian, and Bonan all followed me in the central army to fight against the thieves." Bonan is Qin Shao, Cao Cao's brother-in-law.
Li Qian was born in Juye, Shanyang, and his family was a well-known local family. When Cao Cao first arrived in Yanzhou, Li Qian was famous for his majesty and had thousands of followers under his command. His son Li Zheng and his disciple Li Dian, Li Jin is also a famous young talent in the state. Over the years, Cao Cao has resisted Heishan, fought at the mouth of the river, conquered Qi and Han, and resisted Yuan Shu. He often used Li Qian as a special force, and Li Qian often lived up to expectations and made many meritorious deeds. At this time, Li Qian was wearing A set of silver Mingguang armor, with a tall black horse, shining silver in the sun, imposing momentum. He said to Cao Cao: "We are just outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. We cannot set up on the plains. Five steps to the north It is the intersection of two waters and can be arrayed."
Xun Yu also agreed: "The formation in the south of Beipi City is like the Ming Dynasty at the mouth of the river. The terrain is narrow and blocked by rivers on both sides. Even if the court has more troops, it cannot outflank it. It is a good place for a decisive battle."
So everyone on foot and on horseback headed north and arrived at the south of Beipi City. Jiangshui and Zhangshui were seen flowing from both sides, and merged into a river in the distance. Between them, there were vast reeds, and people and horses passed through it, faintly. We cannot see the whole picture. Those who participated in the battle at the mouth of the river with Cao Cao could not help but sigh: "It really looks like the mouth of the river."
So they made arrangements according to the mouth of the river, and ordered the armored cavalry to hide at the end, waiting for the enemy troops to penetrate deeper, and then attack from a flank. At this time, the plan was decided, and the generals dispersed one after another, and the troops also lined up among the reeds, waiting for the Han army Arrival.
While waiting, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia: "Have you sent someone to inform Zixiao? Whether this battle can be won or not depends entirely on him."
Guo Jia said: "Please rest assured, Lord Ming. I have already sent people there within a moment of receiving the news. I also secretly hid the boats and planks at the crossing point. They can build the pontoon bridge in less than two quarters of an hour."
Cao Cao nodded slightly, exhaled again, and said with emotion: "The life and death of this battle can only depend on whether Zi Xiao can act according to the plan."
While they were talking, they smelled the smell of earth, the kind of fresh earthy fragrance that emitted when many people were running around in the mud and their footsteps lifted up the mud. Everyone knew that the Han army had arrived.
At this time, the sun was still in the east, but there were dense clouds in the sky, so the sky was inevitably a little dark. Bafu's army slowly appeared on the horizon from east to west, with dense crowds of men and horses spread out on both wings, and a forest of war horse knights entered Between the two waters, darkness covered the bright sky in the south, like an endless mountain forest, stretching across the south and in the heart of Cao Jun in the north.
Liu Bei and his generals observed the enemy's situation, and one of his aides said that it seemed that the number of rebels here was no more than 40,000, and they were surrounded by water on three sides, with no way to escape. Our army was certain to win.
But Wei Yan disagreed. He said: "There is nowhere to escape here, it is a place to die. Cao Cao came from all over the country and put his troops to death in order to fight to the death. It is like a wild dog, it can bite people when pressed. And the reeds here are
The land is deep and muddy, which is not conducive to horse racing conflicts. The terrain is small, and you cannot bully the minority with the crowd. It is a non-war place. Ming Gong, why not postpone the battle and divide your troops to capture Nanpi and Bohai. Our army and General Zhenbei
Join forces, will the traitor army still have a way to survive?"
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Chang Wen is right, but now that our three armies have arrived, we are only an arrow away from the bandit army. It is impossible to retreat if we want to retreat."
Fa Zheng always came up with strange plans. When he saw that the reeds were deep and surrounded by water on three sides, he suddenly thought of a plan and said: "How about setting it on fire?" All the generals praised him, but Xun You said: "There is no wind at this time.
, and the north wind has been blowing frequently in the past few days. If the north wind blows again when setting fire, I am afraid that my house will be burned." Yuan Tan also said: "Fire is good, but if the horses are frightened, the army may be in trouble.
It's a big chaos." Sima Fang also commented: "The Cao thieves are so rebellious, it is best to capture them alive. If they are all burned to death and the bones are not preserved, I am afraid that the north and the south will not believe that he is dead."
Zhang Fei was impatient at this time, and said to Liu Bei: "Brother, don't forget, we must keep fighting to destroy the morale of the army. Now that we have few thieves, we can fight ten against one, and there will be no mistakes in fighting. Why not
Let's fight quickly, so we can withdraw our troops and have a drink after dark!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the generals who had previously thought of making military exploits also asked for battle, and in the future they would seal thousands of households. Liu Bei saw that the knights and horses were strong, Cao's army was sparse in the reeds, and the infantry and cavalry were mixed. He felt that people were thinking about fighting, and that he was strong and the enemy was weak, so he should
He was sure of the chance of victory. He finally asked Guan Yu and Xu Shu: "What are the chances of a joint victory?"
Xu Shu hesitated for a long time and then said slowly: "If Ming Gong takes the Nanpi first, the chance of winning is 90%; if he sets it on fire, the chance of winning is 80%; if he races to fight, the chance of winning is 70%."
Guan Yu said: "Cao Cao is good at using troops. My brother must not be underestimated. This time, I will do my best to bully the widowed. I am willing to be my brother's pioneer."
When Liu Bei heard this, he made up his mind and said: "Set fires will damage your moral character and will inevitably be criticized by others. Let's just leave it alone. A 70% chance of winning is enough." He patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and said: "Then the role of pioneer will be given to Yun Chang.
!"
So he ordered the drums to be beaten, and Guan Yu led the brave troops as the vanguard, and sent out iron cavalry to attack.
Before entering the battle, Liu Bei first ordered She Jian to gallop in front of the battle formation to declare war.
Shejian wore dark crimson clothes, a dark leather bean on his head, large-mouthed blue trousers, and an extremely gorgeous purple robe. He also had a gold-studded belt tied around his waist. He sat on a blue-white horse.
The war horse is covered with a dark blue iron armor. The horse's head also has a whole iron mask painted white, with only the eyes and nose exposed. There are three extremely long white feathers inserted on each side of the mask.
It represents his status as Bafu’s confidant.

After She Jian received the order, he immediately took the edict, held the reins in one hand and the edict in the other and went out into the battle. At the same time as him, there were seven cavalry. The horses jumped up from the mud, their purple robes rustled in the wind, and their feathers and trousers swayed together in the wind.
He has the demeanor of a man among gods.
She Jian led the crowd to the formation of the two armies, cleared his throat, showed his family and read out: "Zi Sili Xiao Weichong, informed the generals in Hebei, and Cao Cao's clan members inside and outside: Luoyang was in turmoil in the past, and the leadership was divided.
It collapses, and the lives of the people are unknown. As a result, the world's affairs are all about the decline of Han Zuo and the country's generals. The root cause is that Yuan Shao messed up his orders in the shogunate, and Dong Zhuo usurped power in Shao."
"The Yuan family was immoral and nearly destroyed their family and country. Fortunately, God sent down the force of Shenwu. The general raised troops in Shuoye, and the late emperor thought he relied on him. Later, he restored the danger of the Three Rivers and took over the east and west capitals. He defeated the puppet dynasty three times, defeated Yuan Shu twice, and rescued Cao Cao.
Between water and fire, tolerance leads to the state of benevolence. Unexpectedly, it goes against the grain, abandoning the same while being different, and actually sins against the world!"
"The two prefectures of Hebei are the land of Longxing, the ancestor of the ancestors, and the counties and counties of Shuobei are the residence of the Central Plains. Therefore, there is no need to lose sight of the six seas, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to gain it. Now that there is nothing on the border, there will be growth and accumulation in the country.
When the time comes, the troops are united, but the people in the two prefectures of Hebei are divided and guarded, and it is difficult to defend against the army of the world. Yi Jing, with a spirit of endless frustration, cannot defeat the dignified Chen."
"In the past few years, there has never been a peaceful year. The soldiers were exhausted from the expedition, and it was difficult for them to serve as citizens. All the sages have witnessed this with their own eyes. Wang Lang deceived the emperor and captured him in Zhao. Yingbu was unwilling to accept it and gave him the title of Huainan. This shows the danger of Jiuzhou.
, is not the same surname. This is what all the sages have heard. The wise see the danger in the invisible, the wise see the disaster in the early stage, so the Weizi went to Shang, the elder became the Zhou Bin, Chen Ping carried the title, and made meritorious service to the Han Dynasty.
The banquet is poisonous, but the wealth remains unchanged?"
"Nowadays, the dynasty of the country is full of thoughts, and the prime ministers and assistants promote the virtue of forgiveness. They benefit first and then punish, and they like to kill evil. In the past, Duan Xuan, the general of Liang Dynasty, was attached to the army, and he was the superior, with different favors and rankings. Hu Zhen, Dong
The more serious harm was done to the country, the more he rebelled against the enemy and became a military leader. After five years of farming, he performed very hard, and he was a captain without any blame."
"Zhen and other poor people returned to their fate, but they were still favored. What's more, the wise people in Hebei saw the opportunity and acted accordingly. If you can sincerely understand success and failure, you can walk high and follow the traces of the misfits, and follow the path of Chen Ping, you will be as blessed as the ancients.
Celebrating the descendants, common people and scholars, rehabilitating old businesses, farmers will not change acres, markets will not return to business, and the danger of laying eggs will be gone, and the blessing of eternal peace will be, isn't it a blessing? If you stay in peace for a day and night, you are confused but do not fight back, when the soldiers attack, all the jade and stones will be lost
Even if you want to regret it, you can't do it any better! He carefully chooses the pros and cons, seeking blessings for himself, and announces each one in detail, so that people will know about it."
After She Jian finished speaking, Cao Jun's formation was completely silent. Liu Bei praised the people around him: "She Wen Gu is worthy of being a son of a famous family. It is really rare for him to speak so well of Cai Gong's words!"
At this point, the Han army led another chariot from the formation and retreated in front of Shejian. Shejian took the message back into his arms, pointed at Xiahou Dun in the chariot, and said loudly to Cao Jun in the formation: "Listen, wait.
He set up Jiuwu on his own and appointed Xiahou Yuanrang as the general of Mingwu. But now he is a prisoner, imprisoned in a car, and he doesn't know when he will live or die. Isn't it ridiculous? That's it for now. If you don't surrender again, this will happen to you.
Tomorrow!"
Under the dark sky, Cao Jun remained silent. However, Xiahou Dun was tied up in the car, his mouth was choked with numbness, unable to speak, and he could not die even if he wanted to. He could only whimper a few times, and was pulled back to the formation by the Han army.<
/p>
Upon seeing this, Liu Bei looked around at the soldiers around him and saw that they all looked solemn and heroic. He thought: It is indeed time to fight. So he simply said two words: "Drumming!"
At this moment, the wind seemed to have stopped, and then came the thunderous sound of drums, rushing towards the north like rolling waves. The crisp sound of armor breaking through the air also merged into the sea of drums, and the knights ran wildly with long silk in their hands, as if
The gloomy forest pierced the sky, and countless Liu-character flags and flying tiger flags fluttered as they galloped.
Thousands of horses surging, like mountains cracking apart, horse hooves flying, shaking the earth, as if the end of the world has come.
