The battle situation was so critical, Li Li could only temporarily give up chasing and killing the Tadun barbarian army, and led the Jinyiwei iron cavalry into the left-wing battlefield without hesitation.Supporting the Youzhou Camp led by Gongsun Zan; from the flank, the Wuhuan cavalry led by Wuyan stabbed Nanlou fiercely, and the barbarian army was caught off guard and in chaos.

With the new force of Jin Yanwei suddenly joining the battle.The right-wing soldiers and horses of the barbarian army led by Nanlou were cut off in the middle, so that they could not look at each other from head to tail.For a while, the barbarian army's right wing formation was chaotic, and the attack was frustrated. Many Wuhuan cavalry were at a loss. They couldn't figure out where the sudden attack of Han cavalry came from. Could it be that the Han army had reinforcements?

The soldiers on the right wing of the barbarian army who fought fiercely did not know what happened on the battlefield of the Chinese army, but the main generals Nanlou and Wu Yan who commanded the right wing battle could see what happened to the Chinese army.My heart is like a mirror.Seeing Ta Dun and Su Puyan fleeing with their troops, Nanlou and Wuyan were dumbfounded and filled with resentment.Immediately, the two of them deliberately followed Ta Dun's example to preserve their strength.Immediately led the army to withdraw from the battle, but all the soldiers and horses under his command were entangled with the Youzhou battalion war cavalry led by Gongsun Zan, and it was impossible to escape for a while.

Because of this, Nanlou and Wuyan quickly reached an agreement.Do everything possible to attack Gongsun Zan and the Youzhou Camp under his tent.Attempt to repel or directly annihilate the Youzhou Battalion cavalry, and then they will not love to fight, and quickly leave the battlefield.So they had no more reservations, and concentrated all their forces to launch the most violent attack on Gongsun Zan's Youzhou camp. Gongsun Zan was defeated steadily, and the Youzhou camp suffered heavy casualties, completely at a disadvantage, and the situation was worrying.

did not expect.Just when Nanlou and Wu Yan raised their brows at the sight of the good situation, Li Lili led Jin Yanwei's cavalry and rushed out.Moreover, he was extremely brave and cut off the army in one fell swoop, causing the right-wing soldiers and horses led by Nanlou and Wuyan to be divided into two, and the good situation disappeared instantly.What's more, as the guards of the Jin Dynasty rushed left and right in the middle of the barbarian army's right wing, they ran amok, which directly caused the generals of Wuhuan to be in chaos, and the casualties rose sharply.

One after another, the soldiers of the Youzhou Battalion, who received support, quickly controlled the retreat and their morale was greatly boosted. Led by generals such as Gongsun Zan, Xu Huang and Yan Gang, they fought back vigorously, and their fighting power increased several times with extraordinary bravery.As a result, the offensive momentum of the right-wing Wuhuan cavalry was frustrated, morale plummeted, and combat effectiveness plummeted.Although Nanlou and Wuyan tried their best to boost morale and try to turn the tide of the battle, the soldiers under their command were frustrated in the battle and their morale was low.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, the entire right-wing battlefield has been dominated by the Han army, and the battle has been reversed. The Wuhuan army has lost to the Han army cavalry.At this point, Nanlou and Wuyan no longer had the heart to command the battle, and they looked at each other sadly. Then they waved their hands, reined in their horses and turned away without looking back. They still followed the escape route of the Tadun army, leading The remnants walked away.

But the right-wing soldiers of the barbarian army were not as lucky as the Tadun army.The more than [-] Wuhuan iron cavalry who were surrounded by Jin Yiwei and Youzhouying had no way to escape even though they wanted to escape.Surrounded by the Jinyi Guards and the Youzhou Camp, these barbarian troops had no choice but to dismount and surrender, becoming prisoners of war of the Han army, apart from being killed in battle.

Half an hour later, the fighting on the right-wing battlefield gradually subsided. The two generals Gongsun Zan and Yan Gang led the soldiers of the Youzhou camp to completely defeat the right-wing army of the barbarian army. They killed more than ten thousand Wuhuan cavalrymen and captured nearly ten thousand Wuhuan prisoners of war.However, the Jinyiwei Iron Cavalry withdrew from the battle immediately after forming an encirclement of the remnant Wuhuan Army in the Youzhou Camp. The leading Xianbei cavalry started a battle.

At the same time, the battle situation on the left wing was much better than that on the right wing. The combat effectiveness of Zhao Yun's [-] unparalleled cavalry was far better than that of the newly formed Youzhou Battalion.In addition, at the beginning of the battle, Zhao Yun took the lead and fought bravely, tearing a hole for the army behind him, so that the [-] cavalry had the main attack advantage from the very beginning.And in the ensuing fierce fighting, he forcibly pierced through the Xianbei army led by Su Li and Que Ji, divided the [-] Xianbei army into dozens of small pieces, and then bit it tightly so that it could not form a joint force .

In this way, the Peerless Iron Cavalry made up for the disadvantage of insufficient troops with its own strong combat effectiveness, which virtually weakened the overall combat effectiveness of the Xianbei army, turned passive into active, and then launched a close fight with the Xianbei army.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, there are advantages and disadvantages.Zhao Yun led the unparalleled cavalry to bite the Xianbei army to death, prompting the battle to enter a fierce stage from the moment the Xianbei army was divided, and the fighting was extremely tragic.In such a fierce fight, the Peerless Iron Cavalry suffered huge casualties. By the time Li Lili led the Golden Guards to support them, the Peerless Iron Cavalry had already suffered heavy casualties of more than 2 people.The opposite is.The Xianbei army suffered even more casualties, twice as many as the Wushuang cavalry, losing nearly [-] horses one after another.

Precisely because of this.When Su Li, the left-wing leader of the barbarian army, found out that the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, Ta Dun, and the right-wing Nanlou had led the remnants to escape one after another, he was so anxious that he could fidget like ants on a hot pot, wishing to spread his wings and escape from the battlefield. The Peerless Iron Cavalry was biting tightly, unable to escape at all.

Until the right-wing army led by Nanlou was completely annihilated by the Han army, and Li Li led nearly [-] cavalry to charge over.Su Li and Que Ji didn't dare to hesitate anymore, they immediately left the army and led the few remaining soldiers to flee for their lives in a panic.And with Su Li and Que Ji abandoning the army without saying a word, they fled.The Xianbei soldiers who were still fighting on the left-wing battlefield collapsed completely, and were besieged by the Wushuang Iron Cavalry and the Jinyi Guards, forcing more than [-] Xianbei soldiers to throw away their weapons and dismount their horses to beg for surrender.

so far.The Luronse decisive battle has come to an end.Li Li's great cause of the Eastern Expedition is still going on, and this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.

The post-war surrender event lasted for nearly an hour. The Han army successively captured more than 3 barbarian prisoners of war, confiscated tens of thousands of horses, and countless weapons.

At the same time, at the moment when the outcome was decided, Gongsun Zan took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his troops to hunt down the retreating barbarian leaders such as Ta Dun, Su Puyan, and Su Li.Then Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Ma Dai, Yan Gang and Xian Yuyin and other generals volunteered to fight and continued to hunt down the barbarians.Li Li made a decisive decision immediately.[-] cavalry were drawn from the Jinyiwei, Wushuang cavalry, and Youzhou camp, and Gongsun Zan, Zhao Yun, Yan Gang, and Xian Yuyin were sent to lead the army to chase down the barbarian army.Among them, Gongsun Zan was the main general, Zhao Yun was the deputy general, and more than a dozen generals, including Yan Gang and Xian Yuyin, joined the army.During the pursuit, if there is any indecision, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun can discuss and make a decision, and report afterwards.

In this way, when Zhuge Liang led the infantry to collect prisoners of war and clean the battlefield, Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry with stars and moons on the journey, continuing to hunt down the barbarians.

At this time, the bright moon was hanging in the sky, the stars were shining brightly, and the cold moonlight splashed on the battlefield full of corpses, filled with blood and cold air.

Reining in his horse, he stopped on the small soil slope to the east of the battlefield. Li Li looked calm and watched as the pursuing army gradually disappeared into the mountains.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, handed over the work at hand to Xu Huang and Ma Dai, so he rode up the hill and walked up to Li Li's side to rein in his horse and stand there.Following the sound of horseshoes that were gradually going away, Zhuge Liang raised his eyes to look at the mountains, and asked softly: "The lord seems to have something on his mind. I wonder if I can tell my minister one or two? This will help my minister share my worries."

Li Li didn't move after hearing the sound, and his face was still as calm as water. After a little silence, he said in a low tone: "It's nothing on my mind, I'm just worried about Bogui and Zilong's trip. In this decisive battle, we The casualties of the army and the barbarian army were almost equal, and each side killed more than 3 soldiers. The only difference from the barbarian army was that after the war, our army captured more than [-] prisoners of war, while the barbarian army was in a hurry and fled. Even so , This is also a big victory with the weak over the strong. All of this is due to the merits of my virtuous brother, and I will reward you after this battle is over."

Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently, and said modestly: "Brother, I'm overwhelmed. The reason why this battle is won is because of the hard work of the soldiers, the ability of the generals in the army, and the contribution of elder brother to take the lead. I just did my duty a little bit, how dare I take credit for it?"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang's tone paused, and the topic changed abruptly. Leaving aside the military achievements, he asked curiously: "Since my brother is quite worried about General Gongsun's trip, why did you send them to lead the army to pursue it? Could it be this move?" Is there another meaning?"

Li Li shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Although I have expected that they will be dangerous, I have to do so. Only by continuing to pursue can I bite these barbarian leaders to death, and don't give them a chance to breathe, so that It will pave the way for our army to completely wipe out them. Therefore, Bogui and Zilong led [-] soldiers to pursue them as bait, so that the barbarian leaders such as Tadun and Suli could neither shake off the pursuers nor be sure. To destroy them, we can only fight and retreat, exhausted. In this way, all the cattle, sheep and luggage of the barbarian army will be abandoned on the way to escape, and when they run out of food and grass, they will have to fight our army again. At that time, it will be The best time for our army to completely eradicate these barbarian leaders!"

After Zhuge Liang heard the words, he nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking for a moment, he said happily: "Brother has a long-term vision and considerate considerations, and I admire you so much. As my brother said, Tadun, Su Puyan, Wuyan, The barbarian leaders such as Nan Lou and Su Li are on the run, and they have less than [-] soldiers and horses left, which is not much different from the [-] cavalry led by General Gongsun and Zilong. Therefore, even if the barbarian chiefs like Ta Dun want to eat [-] of our army Iron cavalry is also powerless.

In addition, according to detailed investigation reports, barbarian leaders such as Tadun and Nanlou gathered almost all the troops of the Wuhuan tribe in order to attack Lulongsai this time, which can be said to be all out.Even Suli, the leader of the Eastern Xianbei, dispatched [-]% of his troops, and the Queji tribe went all out.This meant that the Wuhuan tribes were unable to recruit troops to fight again, and the barbarian tribes east of Liaoxi had no soldiers to use.Now, the only ones who can help them survive this catastrophe are Ke Bineng, the leader of Xianbei in the middle, or Gongsun Du in Liaodong! "

Li Li's expression changed slightly, he turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and pondered: "Ke Bineng is quite possible, but as for Gongsun Du, you may not have heard that Gongsun Du and Bogui are brothers of the same clan?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard the words, and he suddenly said: "It turns out that the purpose of my brother's appointment of General Gongsun as the chief general is for this purpose. In addition, Brother Yu also heard that Gongsun Du's attitude towards barbarian tribes is very similar to Gongsun Zan, and he also led the army in his early years. Resisting barbarians from invading the territory, attacking Goguryeo in the east, attacking Wuhuan in the west, taking the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and repeatedly fighting with many barbarian nations. It can be seen from this that the two Gongsun generals are quite similar. But it is strong and strong, without losing the true colors of the Han people."

"The two grandsons of Youzhou are the loyal souls of the Han Dynasty!" Li Li nodded and said.

Hearing the word "loyal soul", Zhuge Liang's expression changed slightly, and he nodded slightly as if he had realized something. So sending Yan Gang, Xian Yuyin and other generals with the army to fight must be for the convenience of General Gongsun in commanding the battle. Even General Zilong accompanied him, because he had served under Gongsun Zan's account. From this point of view, the lord was very savage about this pursuit. The army's move has been planned for a long time, it can be said to be well-intentioned!"

Li Li did not give a positive answer after hearing the words, but laughed loudly: "Hahaha"

This is:

With Lu Longsai behind his back, his sword pointed at a hundred thousand troops.

Han Xing poetry and calligraphy ceremony, Hu Chang pouted his horse bow.

At the beginning of the border county, there was no peace, and he rushed to the crown to conquer the army.

How can the Han border be negative, there is more loyalty in guarding the border.

Chapter 965 The night is young, the nightmare lingers

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are brilliant.At midnight, the big tent of the Chinese army was still flickering with lights. Zhou Yu and Jia Xu, the military adviser, sat opposite to each other in the tent, and retreated from the attendants, and had a chat over wine.

"It's getting late, and Gongjin will lead the army tomorrow, so I won't bother you as a brother." Seeing that the night was getting dark, Jia Xu put down the wine cup, got up and said.

Zhou Yu was already slightly drunk at the moment, and after hearing the words, he shook his head and smiled and said, "Brother Wenhe, don't leave in a hurry, and sit down. The younger brother has already made preparations for tomorrow's expedition, so it doesn't matter." While speaking, Zhou Yu got up and supported Jia Xu's shoulders , kindly retain.

Jia Xu sat down immediately, and said with a smile, "It seems that Gong Jin, like my brother, is destined to be unable to sleep tonight. In this case, the two of us will have a night of drinking and talk, and we will rest when we get drunk." Pour another glass of wine for Zhou Yu, and the two of them Let's drink together.

After drinking, Zhou Yu wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with a flick of his sleeve, and said happily, "Brother Wen He said exactly what he said. Today is the day when the lord will lead a large army to fight a decisive battle with more than [-] barbarian troops. Presumably the battle is not over yet, and there is still time to fight." Fighting in blood. But we, as courtiers, stay out of the matter and enjoy the comfort. Thinking of these, how can we be embarrassed?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused, and said happily: "Fortunately, my younger brother will lead the army to Jizhou tomorrow. Before leaving, it is also a great blessing in my life to have a drink with Brother Wen He!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's depression, Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said bluntly, "Gong Jin's words are not without reason. With the strength of our army today, there are many generals, many advisers, and strong soldiers. In this Eastern Expedition, the Lord can choose one." It is true that the lord does not need to lead the army in person when he is in command. Therefore, Gongjin is depressed. He is worried that the lord should not go to the danger himself when fighting on the battlefield. However, Gongjin should know. The lord's great talent and strategy. In every battle, whenever the lord comes to the battlefield in person, all the soldiers of our army are brave, with swords and axes without frowning. The lord has one ear.

In the current decisive battle in Lulongsai, our eastern conscription army is far less powerful than the barbarian army, and we will fight against the strong barbarians with weak troops.If there is no lord to lead the army to fight.There will be no chance of winning, or in other words, winning is slim.This is by no means alarmist talk, but a fact confirmed by previous battles.The battle of the Blue Wolf Valley in the past must still be fresh in Gongjin's memory.If there is no master sitting behind the town.Fight for Gongjin.I thought the Northern Expedition would not go so smoothly.Gongjin should be well aware of this point? "

Zhou Yu nodded happily: "It is true as Brother Wenhe said, if there is no lord in charge, the younger brother may not even be able to command the army, and there will be no subsequent victory in the Northern Expedition. However, the younger brother always believes that the lord does not need to lead the army in person. You must know the Central Plains in front of you. The battle situation is the most important thing, and the Youzhou frontier fortress is just a trivial matter. It's insignificant, and it's not worth mobilizing troops like this. It's a big fight. Do brothers Wen He think so?"

Jia Xu's expression changed when he heard that, and the smile on his face gradually faded. He stared at Zhou Yu with a pair of deep eyes, and said solemnly: "Brother Gongjin dare not agree with what Gongjin said. Just tell me this time, and you must not do it in the future." Bring it up again, especially not in front of the lord, otherwise"

After a short pause, Jia Xu said earnestly: "Perhaps Gong Jin still doesn't understand the nature of the Lord. To the Lord, no matter how fierce the battle between the princes is, even if you fight to the death, it is still a struggle among the Han people. Just like It doesn’t matter how much you fight. Even if you beat your head and blood, you won’t let outsiders take advantage. In the end, the territory of the Han people is still in the hands of the Han people. However, once foreign enemies are raging or barbarians invade, no matter what the other princes’ attitudes are , the lord will not stand idly by, and has always advocated fighting against the outside world first and then peace inside, and has never been soft on many barbarians. This is the situation at hand.

Years of fighting between Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou greatly weakened the deterrent power of the Youzhou army against the surrounding barbarians, causing Wuhuan, Xianbei and other barbarians entrenched on the border of Youzhou to wait for opportunities to burn and kill the border counties wantonly. Loot, do whatever you want.Now that Gongsun Zan is weak, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, in order to protect himself, spared no expense to win over the barbarians, colluding with the barbarian army to raise troops and divide Youzhou equally.

The situation is so bad that the lord could have taken Youzhou without bloodshed, and then sent his troops south to take Jizhou.But the lord did not do this. Instead, he divided his troops into two groups, one to resist the strong attack of the Jizhou army, and the other to be led by the lord himself to conquer the barbarian army.This is the difference between my lord and other lords, and it is also the place where I, Jia Xu, respect my lord the most. I am willing to follow him all my life and swear to die without regret! "Speaking of this, Jia Xu looked admiring and excited. After trying to calm down, he smiled and said: "Only the people living in the border counties know how harmful and terrible the border restlessness is. Others may never experience this unforgettable pain.Don't laugh at Gong Jin who loses his composure for his brother. "

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhou Yu really couldn't laugh, but felt very heavy and blamed himself.The heavy thing is that the border of the Han Dynasty has never been peaceful, and many barbarian tribes have been entrenched for hundreds of years, but the territory of the Han Dynasty has been divided by many heroes, and there are endless battles.What he blamed was that he felt that he was too eager for quick success, and kept his eyes on the states, counties and towns of the Han Dynasty, but never set his sights outside the Han Dynasty. There are many tribes like tough and hungry wolves.

Seeing that Zhou Yu seemed to have realized something, Jia Xu smiled knowingly, and Gu Zi nodded.As the saying goes, you don’t need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, and some words can be said to the point. Zhou Yu is extremely smart, but his eyes are temporarily covered by the interests in front of him, but as long as he is reminded a little, he can quickly wake up and look at the whole battle situation comprehensively. Among them are the barbarians in the border counties who are eyeing the territory of the Han Dynasty.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Yu bowed to Jia Xu to express his gratitude.Don't say thank you for your kindness, this bow is enough.Immediately, he said calmly: "It is said that Kong Ming replaced Feng Xiao as the military adviser this time. I wonder how much Brother Wen He knows about him?"

Fortunately, Li Li was not here, otherwise he would have felt boundless emotion after hearing Zhou Yu's words: Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were natural enemies, and the saying "If you are born with Yu, you will be born with Liang" has been passed down through the ages, making people sigh and sigh for thousands of years.However, with the birth of Li Li, the pair of natural opponents have now become "comrades in arms" in the trenches.This is really the best interpretation of the impermanence of the world.

Despite this, some people and things will come sooner or later, and they will eventually meet together.The fledgling Zhuge Liang has just emerged.It immediately caught Zhou Yu's attention.Fortunately, he is not hostile to Zhuge Liang now, on the contrary, he is more curious and concerned about Zhuge Liang at this moment.What is curious is that Zhuge Liang was entrusted with important tasks as soon as he entered the army. Such examples are rare; what is concerned is that Zhuge Liang is too young to hold such an important position as a military adviser.Zhou Yu was worried for him, worried that he would not be able to carry such a heavy burden.

Jia Xu heard the worry and concern in Zhou Yu's words, and gently stroked his long beard under his jaw.He laughed and said: "Zhuge Liang is the younger brother of Zhuge Jin, the prefect of Nanyang, and the younger brother of Zhuge Ling, the wife of the lord. Although he is a scholar, he is willing to stay poor and diligent in farming. It is very rare. As for his talent and strategy I don't know much about my brother, but Feng Xiao respects Zhuge Liang very much, calling him a "talent of the heavens and the earth", a rare talent that has never been seen in a century. Righteous brother. It is not difficult to see from this that Zhuge Liang's strategy is absolutely extraordinary. He must be a rare sage.

You know, the master's ability to know people is the best in the world.Everyone knows it.Ordinary scribes can't get into the lord's sight at all, let alone condescending, handing over every detail, and treating him as a sworn brother.Such courteous and generous treatment shows that Zhuge Liang has great talents and deep strategies, and even we are probably not as good as them! "These words were made by Jia Xu with feelings, and his tone was extremely sincere, without any intention of provoking or instigating.
