Chapter 1257 Arriving in Bingzhou
The Youzhou Army escorted the Emperor Luan and the chariots and horses of the officials, and used an S-level prop: After a strange march, speed up to the north.
An hour later, on the south bank of the Yellow River, a Cao army came from the east. The commander's banner was "Li" and the deputy's banner was "Le". They were two generals under Cao Cao's command, Li Dian and Le Jin.
Walking to Mengjin Ferry on the south bank, Le Jin saw the Sizhou Army camp that had not yet been erected, and frowned and said, "Could it be that the Sizhou Army has been defeated? Why is the camp so dilapidated?"
Li Dian observed carefully, and said: "To build the camp, there are not enough materials here. I speculate that this should be the trick of Zhong Sizhou's proud enemy, so that the Youzhou soldiers can cross the river with their entire army thinking that they have no worries."
Le Jin cheered up: "Then the battlefield should be on the north bank, and our army should hurry across the river to help!"
Two generals led five thousand Cao troops across the Yellow River.
But when they came to the north bank of the Yellow River, they could only see the remnants of the battlefield strewn with corpses. Where was the shadow of the Youzhou Army?
Li Dian rode his horse and looked up, and saw a big banner with the word "Zhong" not far away, gathering remnants of soldiers.
When the two sides made contact, Li Dian shouted, "Could it be Zhong Sizhou?"
On the opposite side, a small school of defeated soldiers rushed to agree. The two sides will meet soon.
Li Dian and Le Jin asked Zhong Yao, "Where did the enemy go?"
Zhong Yao said: "Going to Bingzhou, the speed is so fast that you are too late to catch up. If you come an hour earlier, you can still catch up with the big battle."
Le Jin said: "After receiving the prime minister's order, our army marched rapidly for more than two hundred li without a moment's delay."
Zhong Yao sighed, "It's all God's will. Yuan Benchu has a son like this, it's really an odd number."
Now Li Dian and Le Jin are still going to pursue northward.
Zhong Yao dissuaded him: "If the poor don't pursue them, how much more the victors? Yuan Xi is a famous general who has insight into the military's ability. If he sets up an ambush, you thousands of exhausted troops may be completely annihilated."
Li Dian said: "I have not been able to stop Yuan Xi, how can I explain to the Prime Minister?"
Zhong Yao sighed: "In the eyes of the prime minister, your crimes are minor, and I should take the main responsibility. If the prime minister wants to ask the crime when he is angry,
Naturally, they will blame me first. But I have done my best, and I have a clear conscience. "
...
Bai Xiaowen, Qiao Rui, Cecilia, and Han Xu were still talking about the battle of crossing the river while they were marching.
"You can't underestimate the generals of the aborigines in the Three Kingdoms plane. Their ability to learn and adapt is too strong. I haven't had enough deterrence for a few rounds before I found a way to crack it. In this battle, the Youzhou Army suffered casualties. It's not small, and the initial estimate is that the loss is more than two thousand." Bai Xiaowen said.
"You mean Sigu? It is indeed the nemesis of continuous spell-casting skills. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if my soul rhythm is temporarily interrupted," Qiao Rui said, "You think such things as Sigu appear by chance, Or is it a regular item in the enemy's formation?"
"I don't know, but since Zhong Yao has it, I think he will face other well-known generals in future wars. Even if there is no Sigu, there are other means. After all, this is a Three Kingdoms plane with supernatural abilities, not a romance."
When Bai Xiaowen said this, he felt a little regretful: "Zhong Yao didn't show his face all this time, and he only came out to gather the rout after we left. It's really very cunning. I wanted to kill the carbine and capture this big guy, but after thinking about it, I'd better forget it." , can't wave."
Then Bai Xiaowen looked at Han Xu again and said, "Old Han is amazing, he became famous in the first battle. I overheard the emperor praising you."
Han Xu's face was slightly red, but fortunately, his skin was slightly dark and he couldn't tell it.
"With this record, I can promote Lao Han as a general in a logical manner. Before Shuyi was the first to ascend the city in the battle of Xudu, according to the previous promise of 'rewarding a thousand gold and being promoted to a third level', she can also be promoted quickly." Promoted to general. Cecilia is the commander of the special winged cavalry, and her promotion speed will not be slow. Only sister Qiao, who is not very good at showing off, can only be promoted slowly. After she settles down this time, she will be promoted first. Let's talk about it later." Bai Xiaowen said.
Cutting into the Three Kingdoms plane this time, since the goal is unification, Bai Xiaowen wants his teammates to play a role and win more contributions to the war.
Well, having a more prominent military position is of course more convenient.
Qiao Rui said with a smile: "I don't need a high official position, I can play more as a deputy general."
What Bai Xiaowen said about Qiao Rui is "not very good at showing off the mountains and dews", which means that in the eyes of figures in the spiritual world, she does not have the eye-catching performances of Han Xu and Li Shuyi. In fact, Qiao Rui, as the support of the large army, won the war contribution in the previous battles by no means low, even higher than Han Xu.
The Youzhou army marched until noon, and had already reached the territory of Bingzhou.
As the high morale gradually fell, the Youzhou soldiers who had not rested for two days and one night were exhausted. Currently, only the hussars are elite soldiers and still have combat power.
But now it's Bingzhou, and it's already in friendly territory, so there's no need to worry about a big war.
Suddenly, the sound of drums sounded ahead, and the army and horses of the brigade lined up. The leading general said loudly, "Who is coming?"
Bai Xiaowen already knew about the oncoming people, and immediately replied: "Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou, has been escorting the emperor Luan to pass here. Are you a general under the command of my cousin Gao Gan? Come and meet the emperor, Send another person to notify my cousin."
A lieutenant of the Youzhou Military Academy, carrying Bai Xiaowen's seal and ribbon of the governor of Youzhou, sent it to the other party for screening.
After the general inspected it, he hurriedly got off his horse and bowed to the side of the road: "The last general, Guo Yuan, pays homage to His Majesty and the Second Young Master. It is rumored that the Second Young Master attacked Xudu by surprise and issued an edict to seek thieves. !"
Bai Xiaowen escorted Emperor Luan and drove forward. After Guo Yuan visited, he talked with Bai Xiaowen again.
After this discussion, Bai Xiaowen found out that Guo Yuan was actually Zhong Yao's nephew, but they belonged to different camps.
This is also normal. Just like the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun Yu and Xun You assisted Cao Cao, while Xun Chen (chén) assisted Yuan Shao. In this way, all parties bet, no matter who wins or loses, it can ensure the prosperity of the Xun family.
Speaking of Xun Chen, he is also very powerful. He once persuaded Han Fu, the former governor of Jizhou, to give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and this was the first foundation for Yuan Shao to settle down.
Xun Chen was Yuan Shao's mastermind, and had the same status as Xun Yu in Cao Ying.
It's just that Yuan Shao's flaw of "being able to gather people but not employing them" became more and more obvious as his territory became larger and his momentum became more and more fierce. Xun Chen probably saw Yuan Shao's weakness, so he hid instead of offering advice in the Battle of Guandu. After the Guandu battle, Xun Chen disappeared.
After Guo Yuan paid his respects, he led the army and horses from Youzhou to Huguan, which he was guarding, to rest for a while.
Bai Xiaowen saw that the soldiers under his command were extremely exhausted, and the emperor and officials could no longer move forward, so he agreed to take a temporary rest in Bingzhou.
However, Bai Xiaowen secretly dispatched Cecilia, Qiao Rui and Han Xu to lead the cavalry to Yecheng, Jizhou in the starry night!
