Volume Four Chapter 353
"I'm just a Qiang person, and it's not worth your life." Zhong Dian interrupted the kingdom without hesitation: "Sir, you'd better go back and see your family first."
Wang Guo was stunned for a while, glared at the messenger fiercely, and left. Beigong Boyu looked at it, frowned, walked to Zhong Dian, and whispered: "Dahao, I think Mr. Wang is right. He is indeed thinking about Dahao."
Zhong Dian snorted impatiently, his eyes rolled, and suddenly stared at the messenger and said, "Your General Guard is talking big, are you trying to scare me?"
The messenger's face froze, he laughed unnaturally, and snatched: "There is Zhan Shu here, you are not General Wei, so why are you talking about scaring people? If the great hero dares to fight, our General Wei will not be afraid of you."
"Hmph!" Zhong Dian laughed proudly, and called in another person who could write Chinese characters, and asked him to write four words on the war book: the battle will come to Japan, and then the messenger with a somewhat ugly face was bombarded. When Beigong Boyu saw it, he sighed helplessly. Zhong Dian laughed: "Beigong, can't you see that Liu Xiu wants to run away."
"Want to run away?" Beigong Boyu looked at Zhong Dian in surprise, not understanding where his words came from.
"It must be that the great wise and good teachers attacked quickly. The Han army could not support it anymore. Liu Xiu wanted to go back to support it, so he was in a hurry to end the war here." Zhong Dian laughed loudly, "The great wise and good teachers gave me the task to entangle Liu Xiu. How could I let him leave so easily? It would be okay to leave, and I would leave half my life. Otherwise, wouldn't I be sorry for the great wise and good teachers' trust in me."
Beigong Boyu scratched his head, feeling that it seemed to make some sense, but he was not sure. He wanted to go back and ask the kingdom, which was a wise man, and he should be able to tell the truth or falsehood.
...
Liu Xiu took the reply from the war letter, listened to the messenger's story, and nodded with a smile: "Yifeng, you have made a contribution, remember the credit, and go to rest. The battle is imminent, and your scout camp has a heavy task. Although Zhong Dian agreed to the decisive battle, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be afraid of the kingdom's actions anymore, so we can't let him run away."
Li Yifeng smiled, "Don't worry, General, I will spread all the scouts. I will report to the general in time if they have any movement."
Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and asked Li Yifeng to rest. He couldn't help but laugh with the book of war. Yan Zhong is worthy of being good at insidious strategies like Jia Xu. A few simple words made Zhong Dian and Wang Guo turn their faces. With this psychological background, Zhong Dian has to consider what the kingdom says in the future.
To be honest, such a strategy is not complicated. If it is used on him, even if he is worried, he will not do it very clearly. However, it is very effective when applied to Zhong Dian. Good strategy does not seem so clever, but is particularly targeted. Just like the letter Jia Xu wrote to He Lian, he accurately grasped the psychology of He Lian and Murong Feng, so that they would not even have the chance to react. When they came back, things were irreversible.
There are two days left, and as long as the kingdom cannot tell Zhong Dian in these two days, the decisive battle will be inevitable. Liu Xiu believes that at the place he selected, the time he chose, and the formation that the Han army is best at, he is more than 70% sure to defeat Zhong Dian.
Liu Xiu called Xun You, Zhao Yun and others together, and once again pondered the details of the battle, striving to do without any negligence.
...
In the intense preparation, two days passed quickly. When the first bright sunshine shone on the earth, Liu Xiu was on the back of the Huangshui River and set up a regular joint formation of infantry and cavalry. Fifty thousand infantry and cavalry were in their positions. Zhao Yun, Lu Bu was on the left, Xu Rong, Duan Wei was on the right, Qu Yi, Jiang Wu was on the front, Liu Xiu stood on the Huangshui River and established the central army. The cavalry Li Wenhou was arranged to be on the north bank of the Huangshui River and released the scouts from afar, so as not to come from the north by the Yunnan people.
Liu Xiu sat firmly on the command car of the central army, holding his hands on his thighs, his eyes drooping slightly, and he closed his eyes to rest. Pang De and Hao Zhao stood behind him, holding his sword in one hand and holding the flag in the other. Yan Zhong and Xun You were wearing Confucian shirts and occupying the two corners at the rear. None of them spoke, listening to the sound of the soothing war drums beating.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
Zhao Yun sat on the war horse, his face calm, and looked quietly at the horizon in the distance. The sky was rolling mountains, and the top of the mountain was snow that never melted all year round, like bunches of snow-white helmet tassels. Zhao Yun was wearing a white battle robe, and the fish scale armor on his body was not painted black, but painted white. On the silver-plated helmet, a bunch of snow-white helmet tassels swayed gently in the breeze of early spring. A white tie made a beautiful bow under the jaw. The whole body was snow-white, and there was no miscellaneous war horse standing quietly, still moving like a mountain. His ears like bamboo rolls turned from time to time to listen to the sounds around him. A sharply polished phlegm was held in the hands of Zhao Rong, the personal guard of his body. Zhao Rong was Zhao Yun's subordinates and had not been able to make a difference in appearance for several years. He simply went to Zhao Yun's subordinates to be his personal guard.
Jia Xu was wearing a fish scale armor and a ring knife inserted between his waist, but he didn't look like a warrior. His three long beards were paired with his elegant face, and he was graceful and did not have a trace of sinister aura. He leaned forward slightly and said softly: "Zhao Zhonglang, after this battle, we should go back to Bingzhou."
Zhao Yun turned his head, exchanged gazes with Jia Xu, and nodded. "The Yellow Turbans in Jizhou are making a fierce fuss. Although Yuan Shao's army is approaching Julu, the outcome is unknown. We have to be careful."
"Yes, Jizhou has a million household registration. No matter who takes it, it will be a threat to us." Jia Xu whispered to Zhao Yun. "After returning to Jizhou this time, we should go to Jinyang and inspect each of the authorities to avoid being in a hurry."
Zhao Yun smiled in praise: "It should have been like this."
Jia Xu smiled and stopped talking. Zhao Rong looked at them in confusion. When the Qiang people were about to fight, they were not considering how to fight with the Qiang people, but were considering returning to Bingzhou? He wanted to ask Zhao Yun, but when he thought that Jia Xu was very respected in front of Liu Xiu, Zhao Yun obeyed him, afraid that he would not be able to ask anything.
Lu Bu held his cheek and lay on the saddle, looking at the distance boredly. The distance was very quiet, and there was no sign of the Qiang people coming. "Oh his mother, why didn't Zhong Dian run away, right?"
"It shouldn't be." Cheng Lian looked around and saw that other positions were quiet, but his area was a little loose. As the main general, Lu Bu lay on the back of the horse regardless of his image. His people and horses were both red, like a ball of restless fire, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. "Sir, sit up."
"I'm upset?" Lu Bu rolled his eyes in anger: "What other infantry should I use to deal with some Qiang dogs? If you want to press me, we will directly use cavalry to overturn him, and then ravage him hard, and you will be able to win a complete victory. Is it necessary to be so cautious?"
Cheng Lian smacked his lips and closed his mouth.
"Oh, General Guard is the more he fights, the less courage he is, and he is not as fierce as before." Lu Bu looked at Liu Xiu's central army and happened to see Zhao Yun's straight figure on the horse's back. He sneered and said, "Zilong is getting more and more handsome. I don't know which girl from the family has such a blessing to be his woman."
"Sir, the war is about to begin. Can you be more serious?" Wei Xu couldn't help but remind.
"Seriously," Lu Bu looked at him disdainfully: "If I don't come, I'm going to fall asleep. It's not okay to joke about it?"
"Here!" Cheng Lian suddenly pointed ahead, Lu Bu looked at it, and immediately became energetic. He immediately stood up from the horse's back. The war horse was excited and sniffed two times. With a long neigh, it broke the silence of the position, attracting countless people to look at it. Lu Bu grinned and patted the horse's neck: "Be good, don't hurry, I'll scream later." The big red horse shook his neck, turned his head, and gently bit Lu Bu's feet stepping on the stirrup, shaking his head and tail, looking very excited.
Xu Rong heard the horse's neigh, but there was no expression on his face. He patrolled his position again and couldn't help but feel nervous. He didn't expect that Liu Xiu would hand over such an important task to him for the first time in the battle with Liu Xiu. He knew that Zhao Yun had recommended him in front of Liu Xiu. Before that, Huangfu Song also recommended him to Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu's trust in him still made him feel heavy on his shoulders. He knew that someone privately said that he could get Liu Xiu's trust because he and Liu Xiu were from Youzhou, so Liu Xiu took special care of him, but he wanted to let those people see that he was gaining Liu Xiu's trust with his own abilities.
He cannot embarrass Liu Xiu or himself.
Before the war, he not only listened carefully every time he participated in the military convention, but also summoned several generals under his command to study what might happen after the meeting. He and Yang Ding and Huangfu Li have been cooperating for two months and have a certain understanding of each other, but they are all pursuit wars. This time it was a positional war. For this reason, he organized several exercises and must be foolproof. In order to boost morale, he told Yang Ding and Huangfu Li that General Wei would form the 7th Han Battalion in Liangzhou, and the 1st An Ding Battalion may be born from you. You may not want to, but people must not think that they are not qualified to fight this battle and prove your own abilities.
Yang Ding and Huangfu Li were indeed moved. They could choose not to join the Seventh Army of Han, but people could not think that Liu Xiu didn't like them. That was too embarrassing. Not only did they lose their own people, but also the face of Anding County. Especially Huangfu Li, the Huangfu family is an famous general in Anding, and he cannot be ridiculed.
Even for themselves, they must do their best.
On the far right side of the formation, Duan Wei sat upright on the horse's back, his face tightly, and he was very nervous. In fact, he had been under Liu Xiu's tent for several years and had experienced many big and big wars. He should not be so nervous. But today was his first time leading the army, and he was still the Wuwei camp representing the people of Wuwei. The Han Seventh Camp in Liangzhou was participating in the battle for the first time today. Qu Yi occupied the position of the vanguard and was ready to make contributions. Guo Si's horse thief is said to have already spoken crazy. Today, he would compete with Lu Bu, who was also a horse thief, to see if he was a horse thief in Bingzhou or a horse thief in Liangzhou.
When Duan Wei heard this for the first time, he almost laughed out loud. One was that he laughed at Guo Si for not knowing the height of the world and wanted to compete with Lu Bu. The other was that he laughed at Guo Si for talking about horse thieves, not ashamed, but rather proud. However, after seeing the abilities of Guo Si and his subordinates, he stopped laughing. It was unlikely that Guo Si would beat Lu Bu, but it was entirely possible to beat him.
Wuwei and Zhangye are adjacent to each other, and there are many open and secret struggles between each other. Duan Wei not only represents the Duan family, but also represents Wuwei. He cannot let Zhangye people beat the Wuwei people, and he can't let a horse thief beat the Duan family. The Duan family is a general family in Wuwei.
In today's battle, we must show our might. We must not lose the face of the Wuwei people, the Duan family, and of course we must not lose the face of his Duan Wei.
"Captain, you are a little nervous." Jia Yun reminded softly.
Duan Wei's eyes twitched, "Is there any?"
"Yes." Jia Yun nodded calmly, "If the string is too tight, it will easily break. If the person is too nervous, it will not be easy to exert his strength. It is very likely that he will not even be able to make a sound. You don't want the first sound to be hoarse, right?"
Duan Wei was stunned to find that he seemed to be a little nervous. He looked back at Jia Yun and smiled, but he smiled even worse than crying: "Are you better?"
"It's better, it's better to relax a little more." Jia Yun looked at Duan Wei's twisted face calmly and encouraged.
Duan Wei smiled again, slowly adjusting his breathing, and his tense body finally relaxed a little.
Several fast horses rushed from afar, and the dust stirred by the rapid horse's hooves rushed to the front of the formation like a dragon. The scout made a beautiful turn, and the war horse happened to stop in front of the commanders waiting in front of the formation.
"The Qiang people were ten miles away from our army and moved forward slowly."
"The Qiang people are ten miles away from our army and move forward slowly." The messenger repeated the story and ran back to the central camp. However, the scout turned his horse's head and ran towards the distance again.
Another scout rushed over, "The Qiang people were eight miles away from our army and moved forward slowly."
"The Qiang people are five miles away from our army and move forward slowly."
"The Qiang people were two miles away from our army and set up a formation."
As the news came to the central army one after another, Liu Xiu opened his eyes and looked at the smoke and dust slowly pressing from the sky, as well as the Qiang people who were lined up in the smoke and dust, and gently raised his right hand. When Hao Zhao saw it, he hurried to the command car and waved the flag in his hand.
The drum sound changed, and two strong voices suddenly jumped out. The quiet battle formation suddenly felt refreshed. Even Lu Bu straightened his waist from the horse's back, took the iron halberd from Wei Xu's hand, shook it hard, the halberd body trembled, and made a buzzing cry.
The war drums were beaten one after another, and the powerful war drums echoed over the battle formation, and the rhythm gradually became faster. When knocking on people's hearts, the heart beat more powerfully. A stream of blood rushed to the four-legged bones. Everyone's face gradually became hotter, and the tension slowly dissipated in excitement, and there was an urge to roar wildly.
"Purchase the formation!" Liu Xiu stood up, sorted out the armor, got up and got out of the command car. Hao Zhao handed the flag in his hand to Pang De, then got out of the command car, first led Liu Xiu's war horse, asked Liu Xiu to get on the horse, then got on the war horse himself, took the big star from the flag-holding soldiers, straightened his straight back, followed Liu Xiu, and slowly walked to the front of the formation along the passage between the formations.
Liu Xiu was wearing dark red fish scale armor, and the breastplate on both sides of his chest was as bright as a mirror. It shone under the rising sun. A strap around his waist and a golden vermilion shape belt hooked like the two golden eyes of a Vermilion Bird, shining with a breathtaking light. A raging Vermilion Bird embroidered on the snow-white cloak, echoing the white war horse under his crotch. His whole body was like a booming wildfire burning on the snow, full of elegant and violent lethality.
Hao Zhao is seventeen years old this year and has not yet officially grown up, but he is nine feet tall. In recent years, he has no shortage of nutrition and sufficient training. He has developed a strong body of muscles and put on customized armor. He is very majestic. The huge battle flag is steadily in his hands without any swaying. With the elegant steps of the war horse, the battle flag gently blew in the morning breeze, and the vermilion bird in the flames spread its wings and was about to fly.
Two young and tall soldiers stood in front of the formation, so pleasing to the eye and so energetic. Qu Yi, who held the shield in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, looked at it and couldn't help but raise his arms and shout, "General Wei is mighty!"
More than a thousand Qu family members hit the shield with swords and shouted loudly: "General Wei is mighty!"
In an instant, 50,000 soldiers shouted in unison: "General Wei... is mighty! General Wei... is mighty! General Wei... is mighty!"
The roar was like a tide, trembling, making people's eardrums buzzing, the soldiers' blood boiled, their faces flushed, the infantry stomped the ground with force, the cavalry stomped the ground with spears and halberds, and the earth shook with their roars, and even the Huangshui behind them seemed to be affected and vortexed.
Liu Xiu gently urged the horse to fight, took a few steps in front of the formation, raised his right hand, and gently pressed down.
The roar stopped abruptly, and the formation was silent, leaving only the sound of breathing and occasional sniffing of war horses. Every soldier turned his hot eyes to Liu Xiu, looking at his commander proudly.
Liu Xiu moved his Dantian Qi and shouted loudly: "The elite soldiers of the Great Han Dynasty are all in You and Liang. Today, the most heroic soldiers in You and Liang are concentrated here and will fight the Qiang people three times more bloody battle."
His voice was like rolling thunder, passing through everyone's heads, reaching into everyone's ears, and hitting into the hearts of every soldier. The elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty were all in the quiet and cool, and the elite soldiers of the three states gathered here. What is the Qiang people three times. The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and looked at Liu Xiu eagerly, with confidence and fighting spirit in their eyes.
"Three times count as a bird." Lu Bu yelled, raising his arms and shouting: "Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"
The Bingzhou Army was most familiar with this slogan, and without thinking, roared in unison: "Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"
Liu Xiu smiled slightly and reached out to signal. The Bingzhou Army immediately stopped the sound, and it was neatly. Liu Xiu was very satisfied. The Bingzhou Army was his old foundation. Not only did he give him face when fighting, but this kind of occasion was no exception.
"Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, I once swept across the northern part of Mo. I know your bravery." Liu Xiu shouted loudly: "However, many heroes in Liangzhou are fighting in Liangzhou again today. The warriors of Liangzhou, you..." Liu Xiu paused and suddenly shouted: "Can you fight?!"
The soldiers of Liangzhou roared in unison: "Fight! Fight! Fight... Please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!!!
