Chapter 531: Want to collect Zhanghe

Just as Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, Lu Su and others were discussing military information in the central army's tent, the battle information between the vanguard of the Hebei army and the Jiangdong army, Zhang He's troops and Gao Shun troops, was continuously conveyed.

"General Wei Yan killed the enemy general Sha Hu!"

"General Wei Yan and the enemy general Zhang He fought for 100 rounds in one go, but the winner was not decided! However, depending on the situation, it was already at a disadvantage!"

"General Gao Shun takes action! He has fought again with Zhang He for 150 rounds. It is a match that matches the opponent, and it is hard to tell the difference!"

"A general of Yuan army wanted to sneak attack General Gao Shun, but was shot down by General Huang Zhong with an arrow!"

"General Gao Shun and enemy general Zhang He are hard to tell the difference, they are short of people and have returned to their respective battles!"

"The Yuan army lined up the geese and was launching a steadily attack! General Gao Shun set up a plum blossom formation, with five units outside and the central army inside, and tightly guarded the battle!"

"Under the dense shooting of our army's bows and arrows, Yuan's army lost thousands of people, and the initial attack was frustrated! However, the formation was not chaotic, and he still attacked with the force of encircling the two wings!"

"The six units of our army's plum blossom formation form a formation to defend, build walls with huge shields, and support each other. General Hao Pu, General Ma Zhong, and General Huang Zhong are blocking the enemy's attack. The enemy is rushing towards us like a tide, and our army is still moving!"

Liu Bei heard the freshest battle reports in the tent, and the scouts flowed endlessly. He had experienced a long battle formation, but he also felt the murderous aura on the battlefield between the two armies. In the short battle reports, there were at least nearly a thousand casualties!

Liu Bei's eyes turned around and saw Lu Su, Jia Xu and others calmly, occasionally whispering to each other. When he looked at Zhou Yu, he looked like he was sure to hold it. He had a smile on his lips and the feather fan in his hand swayed gently, which was very free and easy.

"The formation of the plum blossoms against the enemy's Yanxing Formation will be invincible first!" Lu Su saw that Liu Bei was bored and smiled at him, "The formation of the plum blossoms is closely connected outside and inside. The left and right parts can support at any time, and the central army will be safe and injure the enemy with strong bows and hard crossbows. And once the enemy's offensive is frustrated, the formation can be changed quickly, and the two rear parts can directly attack the enemy's flanks, break the formation, and defeat the troops. Then the six units of the entire army will unfold and pursue the enemy, and you will be able to win a complete victory!"

Lu Su analyzed it well, and Liu Bei nodded frequently, but he was happy and worried. What he was happy was that the two armies could win a great victory in the first battle, and the morale would rise, which would be conducive to subsequent battles. However, Lu Su's knowledge made Liu Bei feel deeply lost. Since Xu Shu left, Pang Tong has not found it. He heard that he joined Zhou Yu's camp in Jingzhou. In addition to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Fang, he was Jian Yongmi Zhu, who was as talented as a general like Lu Zijing, who was as talented as literary and military as he was, but where did he look for it!

The worry in Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he laughed, saying, "What Zijing said is very true. The Hebei army will be defeated in this battle! General Gao Shun will soon turn into defense to offense and make his first contribution! It is a pity that Zhang He is also a top-notch general in the Hebei army. He cannot win one-on-one challenge, and the attack is set aside. He is only afraid that his reputation will be damaged, and the morale of the Hebei army will also fluctuate!"

Jia Xu nodded secretly. Liu Xuande was killed from the rain of guns and arrows. There were more than a few thousand Yellow Turban Army that died at the hands of their brothers. His accuracy and savvy vision should not be underestimated.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Donald Xuande's intention is exactly my heart! Everyone, sit quietly. Within an hour, General Gao Shun will receive good news!"

So there was constant laughter in the central army's tent, and everyone was relaxed, waiting for the scouts to pass on the battle reports one by one.

While Lu Su was pulling Liu Bei to talk about the scenery in Huainan, a scout ran into the tent happily, knelt on one knee towards Zhou Yu, clasped his fists, and said loudly: "Report to lord! The enemy's attacks were repeatedly set and the formation began to scatter. Wei Yan and Zhu Guang led their headquarters to counterattack both sides of the enemy's flanks. Wherever the troops arrived, the enemy dared to stop them! General Gao Shun took advantage of the situation and rushed to fight back on the entire line. The six divisions of the plum blossom formation echoed each other and rushed the enemy's Yanxing formation into pieces! Seeing that the enemy was not in the right direction, the enemy wanted to call the gold to withdraw the troops. How could General Gao Shun allow him to leave easily? Lead the army to chase them straight up, and a battle won a great victory!"

Liu Bei couldn't help but ask, "Our army won, how many enemies were killed or injured?"

The scout also clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "No statistics have been made yet. It is roughly estimated that the enemy's casualties are around 3,000 people! The result of the battle was even greater, but the enemy's commander Zhang He led a group of brave death soldiers in the palace, and he spared no effort to stop our army from pursuing the main force."

Zhou Yu nodded and sighed: "This is all within my expectations. Zhang He is worthy of being a general from Hebei. He is brave and resourceful, and he is really an admirable opponent!"

Jia Xu laughed and said, "My lord has always loved talent. Does he want to subdue this son? Zhang He in Hejian is indeed a good general. If he falls into the lord, he will be like a tiger with wings. Xu has a plan to get this son."

A glimmer flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and then a wave of frustration came. He knew that Jia Xu was resourceful and used ruthless tricks, and was known as the "poison warrior". Most of the strategies he offered could work. If Zhou Yu really got a powerful general like Zhang He, then there would be another layer of obstacles for his career in the future!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei hurriedly bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "I heard that Zhang He is a martial artist. He is not as brave as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Taishi Ci and others under the tent of the Marquis of Wu. What if Mr. Wenhe is in the eyes of the Marquis of Northerners? The war is imminent, why should the Marquis of Wu be ordered? How should the three armies face the enemy next step!"

Zhou Yu felt like a mirror in his heart. If he had known what Liu Bei was thinking, it would not be convenient to say it thoroughly at this moment. He said, "What Xuande Gong said is extremely true. How to defeat Yuan's military is the most important thing."

Jia Xu smiled and did not answer. He picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, wrote a few words on the center of his left hand, and then sat there with his eyebrows down and his eyes calmly, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

"Congratulations to General Gao Shun for his first contribution! Our army won the first battle, but should not be arrogant!" Zhou Yu said a few words, as if he was in the ears of everyone, but it was thick and round, and he could hear it very comfortably. "Yuan Shao led more than 200,000 troops, which is a multiple of our army. He is well-equipped and has sufficient food and supplies, so he cannot fight. If he comes to attack, he will fight them back as he does today! In the rest of the time, our army kept a low profile and stepped up training to exhaust the enemy. The people came from afar and consumed a lot of food. Just waited for Xuan Gao and Zilong to disturb his food route. Wen Yuan and Gong Ming crossed the river from Dongping to attack his retreat. He also looked forward to Xingba Leader Jinfan Army landing from the sea and attacking his belly. The enemy would be in chaos, and then there would be a good opportunity to break the enemy!"

Everyone discussed the details of defense and left one by one. Jia Xu approached Zhou Yu and stretched out his left palm. Zhou Yu looked at it intently and saw that the dragon and phoenix danced on Jia Xu's palm, with the words "Guo Tu" written on it.
