My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

However, Chen Chu was not happy for long. Two days later, on August 10, urgent information came from the Shadow Force lurking in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao's army and Cao Cao's army were both making large-scale moves, and Cao Cao had gathered 300,000 troops to advance westward from the Qing River, and the target seemed to be Huguan; And Yuan Shao has also gathered an army of 400,000 in Luoyang, and the goal seems to be Keiguan.

By this time, everything was clear, and the reason why Dong Zhuo dared to instruct Zhang Ji to launch a rebellion in Shangjun was to rely on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's army of 700,000.

I have to say that this time Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have invested a lot of money! Cao Cao had a total of 400,000 troops, and Yuan Shao had a total of 500,000 troops, and in order to eliminate Chen Chu, they actually took out 700,000 of the total 900,000 troops to attack Chen Chu. That's a lot of money!

An army of 700,000 is already a threat to the survival of the state!

Although Chen Chu had 610,000 troops, the number of troops that could be used in the Central Plains battlefield would never exceed 400,000. The threat from the North, he could not fail to consider.

When this grim situation was placed in front of the Northern Army, Xu Shu and Lu Su once again strongly advised Chen Chu to immediately withdraw to the southward army and make every effort to deal with the armies of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were about to attack.

But Chen Chu hesitated.

If you give up going south today, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future, and it will be very difficult to go south again!

From ancient times to the present, if you want to achieve great things, how can you not take risks? As long as the Northern Army can successfully occupy Beidi County and resist Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's attack, the situation of the Northern Army's march into the Central Plains can be said to be opened!

Chen Chu thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that the plan to seize Northland County would not change. At the same time, in order to be able to defend against the enemy's attack in the two directions of Huguan and Keiguan, Chen Chu also decided to immediately transfer back the 50,000 blue wolf battalion in the clouds.

Chen Chu made such a decision not because he was hot-headed, but after careful consideration. Although this arrangement made the number of troops defending the annexed states only 210,000 in a short period of time, the Northern Army was able to resist for a long time by virtue of its geographical advantages, bravery, and a large number of new equipment.

Seeing that Chen Chu made such a decision, Lu Su and Xu Shu persuaded him again and again, but on this issue, Chen Chu did not listen to the advice of these two important strategists.

In fact, it was not only Lu Su and Xu Shu who persuaded Chen Chu to give up his plan to go south, but even Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, who were not in Bingzhou, also sent urgent letters, imploring Chen Chu to give up his plan to go south. However, no one's hard persuasion could shake Chen Chunan's determination!

Although most of the strategists advised Chen Chu to give up his plan to go south, there was only one person who did not express any objection, and this person was Chen Gong, who thought the same as Chen Chu on this issue, and also thought that this risk was worth taking.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the propositions of both sides on this issue, and the difference is only between steady and radical.

Seeing that Chen Chu had already made up his mind, the strategists stopped admonishing and began to plan how to retreat Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's 700,000 army, which was the most critical and difficult at present.

For several days, Chen Chu and Xu Shu Lusu had been planning a strategy to retreat from the enemy in the inner hall, and often forgot to eat. Seeing this scene, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan were very distressed, but the two girls had nothing to do.

"Lord, Gongsun Chan tasted the sweetness in the previous battle of Jizhou. We can send an envoy to persuade him to send troops behind Yuan Shao's flank. Lu Su suggested.

Chen Chu's expression moved, revealing a look of interest.

At this time, Xu Shu said: "But you can." However, with Gongsun Zhan's personality, I am afraid that he will not send troops easily. Only after our army is in a clear advantage, it is possible for Gongsun Chan to send troops, so the role of Gongsun Chan is not great.

Lu Su nodded, a look of frustration flashing across his face, but he immediately began to think about it again.

Although Lu Su's suggestion did not have much effect, it was beneficial and harmless to the Northern Army, so Chen Chu still adopted this suggestion. Chen Chu said to Lu Su: "Although this strategy has little effect, it is beneficial and harmless to us, so you might as well give it a try." Zijing, after a while, you will choose a person who can speak well and send it to Beiping, know the benefits, and persuade him to send troops from Yuan Shao's flank as soon as possible. "。 Beiping is located in the east of Youzhou, close to the west of Liaoning, and is the old nest of Gongsun Zhan.

"Yes, my lord." Lu Su clenched his fists and promised.

Then the hall fell silent again, and everyone continued to rack their brains to think about a strategy to retreat from the enemy.

After a long time, Lu Su suddenly hugged his fist at Chen Chu and said, "My lord, Su thinks that he can send a secret envoy to Luoyang to see Xu Yu with a heavy gift." Let Xu Yu influence Yuan Shao's decision-making.

Chen Chu nodded, revealing a thoughtful expression. Lu Suxian's strategy is very worth trying, that Xu You has already eaten many benefits of the Northern Army, to a certain extent, he is already difficult to ride a tiger, plus this person is greedy for money, Chen Chu can definitely instigate him to speak for himself.

"Zijing's plan is good, you can start implementing it immediately! Zijing, you should do this right now! "

Yes, my lord. Solemnly retired. Lu Su got up and agreed, and then quickly exited the inner hall.

After Lu Su left, the inner hall fell silent again. After a while, Xu Shu, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

I saw Xu Shu sit up straight and hug his fists towards Chen Chu and said, "Lord, you may be able to retreat Yuan Shao's army if you have a strategy." When he said this, Xu Shu's expression was a little hesitant.

Hearing Xu Shu say this, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly asked, "What is Yuan Zhi's plan?" Tell me about it!

Xu Shu stood up, walked up to Chen Chu, first clasped his fists and saluted, and then whispered in Chen Chu's ear.

After a while, Xu Shu stood up straight and waited for Chen Chu's decision.

After listening to Xu Shu's words, Chen Chu frowned tightly, and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was hesitant.

Chen Chu was indeed hesitating. Xu Shu's strategy is a strange plan that no one can think of, but this is a dangerous move, and the general and his generals are likely to be wiped out.

Chen Chu hesitated for a long time, and finally stared at him and made up his mind; "I'm afraid that's all there is to it!"

After a pause, Chen Chu turned his head to Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi, immediately use this to send an order to General Zhang Liao of Zhuo County." "

Yes." Xu Shu promised.

Under the leadership of Zhangjaw Gaoshun, the Bingzhou Army arrived in Shangjun in only seven days.

At this moment, Chang'an did not know about the movement of the Northern Army.

The Bingzhou Legion repaired in Shangjun for one day, and the next day it was drawn together with Lü Bu's Luoyang Legion, and the 150,000 troops slaughtered towards Beidi County.

This time he went south to Beidi County, the main will be Lu Bu, the deputy will be Zhang Jaw and Gao Shun, and Chen Gong did not accompany him, but stayed in Shangjun.

This time the southward battle was the first time Lu Bu led the army as the head coach, which made Lu Bu very excited. However, there was one thing that made Lu Bu more depressed, although Zhang Jaw was only a deputy general, but he was appointed by Chen Chu as the supervisor of the army, Chen Chu said in the order to Lu Bu that military transfers must be approved by Zhang Jaw.

Chen Chu did this to prevent Lu Bu from doing something brainless.

After a five-day march, the army finally reached the Great Wall north of Northland County. Dong Zhuo had 20,000 defenders here, and there were dozens of sentry posts within a few miles north of the Great Wall.

Lü Bu led the army to a halt in a forest ten miles from the Great Wall. Now all the army has to do is wait for the sky to get dark. Although Lu Bu is rude, this does not mean that he is a fool, he still understands some basic principles of marching and fighting, not to mention that there is also a future famous general who is Zhang Jaw to check and fill in the gaps.

After a long wait, the sky gradually darkened, and the Jade Rabbit took the place of the Golden Crow in the sky.

Thousands of horsemen quietly galloped out of the woods. The sound of the thousands of cavalry running on the grass was so small that it was hard to hear any sound even in the silence of the night.

It turned out that the hooves of these horsemen were wrapped in thick cotton cloth, and it was no wonder that the sound of their running was so quiet.

A sentry post five miles north of the Great Wall in Beidi County is the farthest sentry post Dong Zhuojun placed outside the Great Wall. There were sentry posts farther away, but they were all deserted.

The so-called sentry post is the person who guards the sentry and related facilities. In ancient China, the Central Plains people often set up many large and small sentry posts outside the Great Wall, and their role was to detect the sudden arrival of the enemy army in time and transmit the information to the rear base in time.

Build a watchtower out of wood and place a few soldiers in the lookout. This is the most basic sentry post on the steppe.

The sentry posts outside the Great Wall of Northland County are of this type.

At this outpost, the farthest point from the Wall, five soldiers were sitting around a campfire. Although it is still summer, the evenings on the grassland are exceptionally cool.

The five soldiers were chatting with each other, looking very lazy, and there was no one on the watchtower. In fact, they can't be blamed for their lax vigilance, after all, for Dong Zhuojun, there are no enemies around Beidi County at all, even if the Northern Army wants to attack Beidi County, they have to defeat Shangjun first. Dong Zhuojun all thought that Shangjun had been controlled by them, and they didn't know that this was just a ploy planned by the generals of the Northern Army.

While the five soldiers were chatting, dozens of black shadows suddenly appeared from all directions, and before the five soldiers could understand what was going on, they were killed in an instant. The blood was splashed in the fire, which darkened the flames of the fire. In the silence of the night, the scene seemed a little mysterious and terrifying.

The same scene was played out one after another outside the Great Wall. About half an hour later, Lu Bu, who was anxiously waiting, received news that all the sentry posts that Dong Zhuojun had placed outside the Great Wall had been pulled out.

Lu Bu couldn't help but shout excitedly, and then ordered the whole army to march forward immediately.

That night, just as Dong Zhuojun, who was defending the Great Wall, was asleep, they were suddenly awakened by a thunderous shout.

Dong Zhuojun jumped up from the bed in a panic and hurriedly put on his armor. At this time, the Northern Expeditionary Army had already rushed into their barracks.

Under such circumstances, Dong Zhuojun still tried to resist stubbornly, but when Lu Bulian beheaded Dong Zhuojun's two generals, Dong Zhuojun all laid down his weapons.

In this battle, the Northern Army took Dong Zhuojun by surprise. The 20,000 defenders of the Great Wall who were caught off guard basically surrendered, and the losses of the Northern Army were basically negligible.
