Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth battle to lure the enemy
Liu Pi went to fight, but to a certain extent, he didn't want to fight. His opponent was the famous Hebei general Zhang He. If he didn't make a mistake, he could easily lose his life.
Zhou Cang was more capable than himself, but he still lost to Zhang He. Liu Pi would not be foolish enough to think that he could defeat him.
Although the draw with Zhao Yun back then had always been something he used to brag about, Liu Pi was still a bit worried about the specific situation at that time.
Zhao Yun could treat himself with ease, but Zhang He would not.
Zhang He asked the soldiers behind him to get into position, then led a group of cavalry to charge towards Liu Pi first.
Liu Pi was originally thinking about saying something to Zhang He, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even bother to say a word to him, and directly led his troops to kill his general.
Liu Pi had no choice but to fight hastily. He also led his troops and rushed in the direction of Zhang He.
The two armies fought, soldiers against soldiers, and the generals began to fight on the field outside the camp.
Liu Pi and Zhang He fought, and the two war spears struck each other. A huge force came out, which only made Liu Pi tremble all over and his hands trembled slightly.
The winner is decided in one round.
Since he and his opponent are not on the same level at all, this battle is impossible to fight.
Liu Pigang wanted to turn around and retreat to the rear, but he saw Zhang He suddenly swayed, as if he was about to fall off his horse.
"That's awesome!" Zhang He shouted, turned around and hurried away towards the rear.
When the soldiers under his command saw their general retreating, they naturally did not dare to fight for a long time and followed Zhang He in a hurry and turned away.
Liu Pi suddenly froze on the spot.
The soldiers behind him shouted loudly: "Mighty!"
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
Liu Pi looked down at his slightly trembling hands in surprise, completely confused.
That move just now made my blood surge, and it was obvious that I couldn't hold on anymore?
Why did the other party run away first?
Is it possible that the other person feels more uncomfortable than you do?
But the opponent was a famous general from Hebei, how could he be defeated by one move?
Is it possible...
Liu Pi took a deep breath and subconsciously said: "Is it possible that I really have the appearance of a heavenly being? Do I have the talent of a fierce general?"
At this time, the captain of the Jinling Army rode up behind Liu Pi and whispered: "General, should we pursue him or not?"
"Of course we will pursue him!" Liu Pi excitedly waved his sword and said to the captain: "Order the soldiers of the three armies to follow me in pursuit! Capture Zhang He alive and kill all the Hebei troops."
A group of soldiers and horses immediately followed Liu Pi and rushed out!
…
The scouts in the front line reported the news to Huang Zhong, the commander-in-chief, which made Huang Zhong thoughtful.
Zhou Cang was dumbfounded as he listened to the scout's report, with a look of surprise on his face.
Zhou Cang had just fought against Zhang He, and he couldn't even get a few face-to-face encounters with him. Liu Pi was able to defeat Zhang He with just one move? How brave a person must be to do this?
General Zhao Zilong is nothing more than this, right?
Huang Zhong stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "A man with a great reputation is really talented and knowledgeable. This General Liu is really not an ordinary person. No wonder he can perform extraordinary feats repeatedly."
Not long after, Liu Pi came back from chasing Zhang He. He was sweating. Although he was tired, he was in good spirits.
"Report to General Huang. The general has fulfilled his mission and has defeated Zhang He. He has chased him for several miles and driven away all his enemies!"
Huang Zhong nodded with a smile and said: "General Liu is indeed a famous general. Even Zhang He retreated from the battle. I will definitely tell the Prime Minister your merits when you look back!"
Liu Pi was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Huang Zhong, making Zhou Cang envious.
Although Huang Zhong looked happy on his face, he was actually confused in his heart. He immediately wrote a credit book to the pottery merchant, explained the matter in detail, and sent someone to the main camp to ask the pottery merchant to make a decision.
…
"Hey! Liu Pi has made another great contribution...defeated Zhang He. This guy is so powerful now."
Tao Shang looked at Huang Zhong's battle report and said with a smile.
Zhuge Liang was below, gently swaying his feather fan, and said: "Teacher, the school administration has been exploring the four directions during the break. It is true that no other troops from Yuan Jun came to attack us. Now we are facing
We indeed only have the actual 30,000 soldiers and horses to recruit, and this matter has been confirmed!"
The potter turned to look at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "According to your wishes, we can march in the army now? Don't worry about Yuan Shao's plans?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "No matter what Yuan Shao's purpose is, since we can't see anything yet, we might as well take Pingyuan County first. In this way, the land east of Jizhou can be placed in the palm of our hands."
Tao Shang took Zhuge Liang's advice and asked Huang Zhong and Xu Huang to take the lead in raising troops to attack Pingyuan County where Qianzhao was located the next day.
The soldiers and horses they had recruited collapsed at the first touch. The soldiers and horses turned north and fled in panic. The pottery merchants' troops and horses instantly occupied Pingyuan County. As a result, almost all the land east of Jizhou fell into the hands of the pottery merchants.
The sharp edge of Jinling soldiers and horses is directed at Jizhou.
But Yuan Shao's next move was very surprising.
Yuan Shao sent Xin Ping as an envoy to meet with the pottery merchant, requesting peace talks, promising to cede the city, and asking him to withdraw his troops.
Yuan Shao's act of showing weakness aroused the suspicion of the pottery merchant. However, he still received Xin Ping, but he never sincerely negotiated with him. Almost all the requests made by the pottery merchant to Xin Ping were impossible for Yuan Shao to fulfill.
For example, cede Yecheng...
For example, confessing your sins to the emperor...
For example, consider yourself a godfather and change your surname to Tao...
And so on.
Even if the peace talks will not succeed, for Yuan Shao, as long as they are negotiated, the effect will be greater than if they were not negotiated.
The news spread to Cao Ying, causing a series of chain reactions.
As expected, as Xun Chen suggested, the pottery merchants had seized so much land in Hebei. Yuan Shao was not in a hurry, but Cao Cao could no longer sit still.
The troops of Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and others set out from Liyang and marched eastward on the border of Pingyuan County, with a vague intention of attacking the pottery merchants.
Yuan Shao's troops also shrank and rearranged their troops, paying close attention to the movements of the Cao and Tao families.
After learning about Cao Cao's movements, Tao Shang suddenly understood the cause of Yuan Shao's series of strange actions.
However, Tao Shang was not afraid of this. Because of the Hebei dispute, he and Cao Cao were not allies to begin with, but competitors. Because in the process of conquering Yuan Shao and seizing the territory, the two sides would have a head-on conflict. It was only a matter of time.
Since you have to fight sooner or later, it is better to fight early than at night.
The troops of Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and others had just arrived. Tao Shang immediately led the three armies and marched straight towards Cao Shang's army.
On the other side of the plain, the pottery merchants were still in charge of Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, Liu Pi and others.
Just as the pottery merchant's headquarters troops took action, the 30,000 Hebei soldiers from Qianzhao and Zhang He's side immediately changed direction and came back to seize the plain.
Zhang He is still the vanguard, but this time, there is no concession as last time, but a real competition of strength.
