Yuan Shao asked in confusion. It was obvious that he didn't think he had missed anything. If Xiao Jiang were around him, he would definitely say that confidence is a good thing, and overconfidence is arrogance.
Yuan Shao is obviously arrogant, because he has the largest number of troops among the princes at this time, and has many ministers and generals under his command. He is confident to suppress all opponents.
Jushu was a person who did not like to flatter his superiors, which was one of the reasons why he was later killed by Yuan Shao. He said without hesitation:
"Have you forgotten the place where Xiao Jiang rose? In Bingzhou, although Ding was originally a prince, all the forces in Bingzhou can be regarded as the old tribe and old ones of the King of Beihai.
For example, Zhang Yang, the current governor of Shangdang, captured Hetao with the support of Ding Yuan some time ago and decomposed the entire Southern Huns forces into the entire Bingzhou. Although they still only maintain 40,000 to 50,000 troops, they are all the best of the best.
It may be nonsense to fight one against ten, but we can still do it against three of our Jizhou soldiers.
Bingzhou may not have any top generals, but they can sweep the Hetao according to Xiao Jiang's tactics. So once they attack Jizhou, we will need at least 100,000 troops to hold on to the pass.
In addition to the possible threat of Bingzhou, Liu Yu of Youzhou had a falling out with Gongsun Zan during this period. If their side wins and learns that we are at war with Bingzhou of Qingzhou, and they attack our rear from the north, we will have no chance."
Yuan Shao said with a joking smile:
"Don't always think about the most dangerous thing, and don't forget that Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu have conflicts with each other. Goguryeo in the northeast is harassing the frontier before they are safe. They have no chance to threaten us. Once we capture Qingzhou,
You can seize Youzhou while they are at war, and then gather all your forces to quickly capture Bingzhou.
In this way, with the power of Youjiqing and the four states, we can cross the Yellow River to form an attack posture on Yanzhou and Xuzhou, then move on to the boundaries of Yangzhou, Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and finally sweep across Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou, Sizhou and Yuzhou, thereby dominating the world.
Nowadays, the feudal lords are divided and the land is divided. Only strong power can unify the world. If you don't mind, just follow my order and immediately notify the generals to come. One day later, Xiao Jiang will be killed and troops will be dispatched to Qingzhou."
Jushou shook his head and went out. At the gate, a sword-wielding guard looked at the guard opposite. He asked another guard to take over and walked to the small courtyard. After whispering a few words to a maid, he continued on duty.
The maid then went out carrying a vegetable basket.
…
At the mouth of a valley in Guangping, Jizhou, an army of 20,000 people stood in front of them. Yuan Shao was wearing golden armor with a long sword hanging from his waist and riding a maroon war horse. Beside him were two very heroic generals, and behind him were
Several of his advisers.
On the road in the distance, Xiao Jiang's drivers moved neatly. As a sentinel came back quickly, the entire team stopped on the plain. Xiao Jiang opened the car curtain and looked out and said:
"What's going on ahead?"
The sentry replied:
"Reporting to your lord, a large number of Jizhou soldiers and horses were found three miles away blocking the way."
At this moment, a junior high school student from the rear came back on horseback and said:
"Reporting to your lord, a large number of Jizhou troops were found in the rear blocking the retreat."
Xiao Jiang smiled, got out of the car and jumped onto Hei Zai's back. He grabbed the spurge and said:
"The entire army is preparing for the Heavenly Killing Formation. If they dare to take action, the formation will be activated and I will massacre them."
"yes."
Hearing Xiao Jiang's smiling but murderous words, the faces of the surrounding soldiers showed ecstasy. These thousand cavalry were not ordinary cavalry. They were soldiers selected from three thousand yellow scarf warriors and various armies. Their physical fitness
Very good, and they have practiced a technique that can quickly improve their internal energy. Coupled with Xiao Jiang's special training over the years, any soldier here is comparable to an ordinary third-rate general, and the weapons are even of higher quality than many generals.
.
A team composed of a thousand third-rate generals, it is not just a one plus one increase in strength, the Heavenly Killing Formation is a powerful battle formation that cooperates with each other to attack and defend. Following Xiao Jiang's order, all the cavalry took out their auxiliary horses.
A set of peculiar metal silk armor, both man and horse were quickly covered under the silk armor. At the same time, the sabers were hung on the saddles, and the bows and spears were adjusted individually.
The team was reorganized within a minute. Xiao Jiang waved and the team continued to move forward. Soon the distance between the two sides was only two hundred steps. Xiao Jiang looked at Yuan Shao and said loudly:
"Benchu, why are there such a huge formation to greet this king?"
Yuan Shao's face twitched. Xiao Jiang was a serious Cavalry General of the King of the North Sea, but he just forcibly took the position of Jizhou Mu. In terms of orthodoxy, Xiao Jiang still had a huge advantage over him. This was what Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with.
thing.
It is said from other places that the fourth and third sons of the Yuan Shao family are very impressive, but in front of Xiao Jiang, even the third master has to bow his head, let alone Yuan Shao.
Looking at Xiao Jiang riding out alone, Yuan Shao said with a smile:
"Prince Xiao, since the battle of Yanmen, the world has regarded you as the god of martial arts and the best general in the world. However, I also have 20,000 brave generals under my command. Naturally they were dissatisfied when they heard that the prince was brave, so they wanted to join forces.
Challenge the prince, if you win, Shao will definitely escort the prince to Chang'an along the way, if you lose, then let go of your reputation as the best in the world."
Yuan Shao was quite stubborn. He only said that his men were dissatisfied, but such a battle had nothing to do with the challenge.
Li Yan had challenged Xiao Jiang, and Xiao Jiang had also challenged Tong Yuan. It was only etiquette that he went there alone. Xiao Jiang held up the halberd and said with a smile:
"Benchu, it seems that you want my life, and you also want to attack my Qingzhou. These days, you are ambitious to annex Jizhou and want to do something to me. You have to think about the consequences. Once I do it, your Yuan family will have a
If there is no one left who dares to attack me, in addition to surrendering his life, he will also have to bear the wrath of my cavalry.
And your so-called two fierce generals are nothing more than chickens and dogs in my opinion. The spurge in my hand has not killed anyone for a long time, so I can sharpen it with your fierce generals. Come on, I want to see how they can survive under my hands.
One move means no."
Xiao Jiang's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly for miles around. Such a domineering and arrogant tone made the entire Jizhou Army soldiers feel cold. Yuan Shao's expression changed and he waved his hand and said:
"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, go take his head and let the world know that I, the fierce general of Jizhou, can kill the best in the world, so go ahead."
Yan Liangwen and Chou were originally top-notch generals, but fate never took care of them. Normally, they would be killed one by one by Guan Yu, but now they met Xiao Jiang, who was far more powerful than Lu Bu.
The basic force value of one hundred and three, plus the cross spurt with a force bonus of thirty, compared to their total force value of only ninety-five and six, is a kind of crushing, just like how they would crush a small soldier.
