Three Kingdoms

It's another early morning.

The faint morning light floats in the woods and bushes, like a thin layer of white gauze.

Zhang Liao held his helmet under his arm and looked up at a leaf above his head.

Under the first ray of sunlight in the morning, the leaves seem to appear somewhat transparent, like a piece of emerald green jade. However, what is more dazzling about this piece of jade is the colorful dewdrop on the tip of the leaf. …

"General, everything is ready..." Zhang Chen trotted over from the side and reported in a low voice.

Zhang Liao nodded, looked away, stood up silently, then put the helmet on his head, fastened the straps, turned around and left. I don't know if it was because of the wind brought by Zhang Liao's actions, or because the dewdrops couldn't stay there. The moment Zhang Liao went away, they finally slipped down, shining with a colorful light in the sky.

"..." Zhang Chen followed Zhang Liao and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

"What do you want to say?" ” Zhang Liaobing did not look back, but he seemed to have noticed Zhang Chen’s actions and said as he walked.

"This..." Zhang Chen moved closer, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Why have we been going around in circles for so many days..."

Zhang Liao stopped in front of the horse, turned to look at Zhang Chen, and said: "Very good, this is a good question, but..." Zhang Liao patted Zhang Chen's helmet, "If you can't figure this out yourself, Then I will just be a school captain in this life! gone! Set off! 』

……(?_?)……

Xiahou Dun did not dare to pursue too closely, and he could not pursue too closely. Because Xiahou Dun was also afraid, he had to always be on guard against surprise attacks or ambushes by Zhang Liao and others.

But in this way, Xiahou Dun can exert too little pressure on Zhang Liao...

Looking at the marks left by Zhang Liao and others in front of him, the flesh next to Xiahou Dun's cheeks jumped...

Here are the remaining ashes of the bonfire, and the few fish bones next to it even indicate that the Hussars had grilled fish by this bonfire before...

On the other side, there is a structure of a shed built with cut branches. I believe that the horsemen and horses will have felt and oilcloth to lay the ground, and then they can have a relatively comfortable rest...

Are the hussars here for a picnic?

Why not attack! ?

He obviously only brought 5,000 people with him. Logically speaking, the hussars and horses should be afraid of even 5,000 people, right?

Why?

Xiahou Dun was puzzled.

Below Yangcheng is Yangzhai.

When Xiahou Dun learned that the Hussars were passing through the city, his first reaction was to worry about the safety of Xu County. But not long after, the second consideration naturally came to mind. Could it be that he wanted to lure him out of the city? , and then set up an ambush to defeat yourself? Then the third question naturally followed. Would he want to take the opportunity to stir up Yang Zhai's troops, just like mobilizing his own eyes, pull out the loopholes in the defense line, and attack Xu County?

The safest way is to stay in Yangcheng and remain unchanged in the face of changes. However, Xiahou Dun asked himself, he couldn't do it. He couldn't selfishly only care about his own safety, and then use Cao Cao's foundation as a bargaining chip to win his victory. Therefore, Xiahou Dun could only use himself as a bargaining chip to suppress the situation. On the gambling table.

Luoyang was defeated for the first time, and Chen Liu's Xiahou Yuan was defeated again. Under such circumstances, if the Qiao cavalry appeared around Xu County, even if he could defend Yangcheng, what would be the use? What benefit does it have to the overall situation?

It is natural that the infantry cannot catch up with the cavalry, but if they dare not even chase, and even Xiahou Dun himself can only huddle in the city to protect himself without caring about anything else, then Cao Jun in other places are successively After the news of the failure, can morale remain stable?

Once morale collapses, even if Cao Cao comes in person, it may not be able to restore it!

After Cao Cao failed in the Battle of Jujube, he went back to Yangzhou to recruit troops. At first, the soldiers did not know that they were going to Luoyang to fight for their lives, and many people responded. But when these soldiers knew that the place they were going to was Luoyang, it was Even the princes from all over the battlefield collapsed and dispersed, and their morale suddenly collapsed to the extreme. Then overnight, under the roar of the camp, they dispersed with a bang, and they all escaped completely!

From that time on, Xiahou Dun knew that the morale of his soldiers was something that, although invisible and intangible, was the backbone of the entire army. Soldiers and horses without morale were almost like bandits and bandits. They could fight with the wind, but they could do anything when they encountered difficulties. One touch and it's a rout!

In Xiahou Dun's original prediction, this group of hussars should find ways to sneak attack him after he left Yangcheng. Therefore, the 5,000 men led by Xiahou Dun were all elite soldiers, armed with spears and large shields. They are well-equipped, and there are some mountains, forests and hills around them that are suitable for setting up formations. As long as the hussars and horses dare to come, Xiahou Dun can't say that he can defeat them, but he will definitely be able to hold them back!

Then the men and horses from Yangzhai and Xu County will be surrounded. At that time, Xiahou Dun himself will hold firm, and reinforcements will be surrounded and attacked from outside. When the morale collapses, it will definitely be the hussars and horses!

If this group of hussars does not come to attack him, but chooses to continue to attack Yangzhai or Xu County, the same thing will happen. It is just that the defenders and reinforcements have changed their positions. Therefore, when Xiahou Dun set off, he immediately I sent a message to Xun Yu, hoping to cooperate and finally achieve the goal of encircling and suppressing this group of horsemen.

However……

This group of hussars seemed to know how Xiahou Dun arranged it, so they did not meet Xiahou Dun at all. They seemed to just lead Xiahou Dun in circles between the mountains and Yingshui, which made Xiahou Dun anxious and helpless. Don't rush too fast. If you get too hasty, you will inevitably lose your rhythm and formation. If you encounter a surprise attack by the Cavalry at that time, it will not be a question of whether you hold on or not, but a question of whether to collapse or not!

Therefore, the fastest speed can only be this. Gritting your teeth in front of the traces left by the opponent, you have to hold back, and you have to look confident in front of your own soldiers, otherwise you will lose morale...

……{{(\u003e_\u003c)}}……

When Cao Cao received the news relayed by Xun Yu, his heart sank straight down, and then it seemed as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to rise no matter what.

Xiahou Dun fell into the trap!

But Cao Cao had no way to blame Xiahou Dun, because this was indeed the best Xiahou Dun could do. Of course, if Xiahou Dun insists on holding on to Yangcheng, that may be a way, but Cao Cao knows that Xiahou Dun will definitely not be able to do that...

If Xiahou Dun saw the hussar's movements this time and still insisted on holding on, which general would dare to attack next time?

It’s easy to make many mistakes by doing too much, so just do nothing!

No matter what other counties are like, as long as his own city is not damaged!

Why did the Han Dynasty fall to the point where it is today? Isn't it because there are more and more local governors, officials from various places, and noble families?

Why did the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance eventually fail? Why was there only one Bao Xin who was willing to send troops to help when Cao Cao strongly suggested marching during the Suanzao period?

Which one is more important, the overall situation or your own safety?

Some people say that the overall situation is of course the most important thing, but when the overall situation really changes, they often only consider themselves. Cao Cao met too many such people back then, and even now, he still can't believe that there are still people who would really sacrifice themselves for the overall situation.

Except Xiahou Dun.

Cao Cao could not forget all of this, nor could he forget that he and Xiahou Dun stood together on the ruins of Luoyang, under the rising sun, raising their hands high and shouting to heaven and earth to change this selfish world! Save the big man's tilt!

Although Xiahou Dun is not his blood brother, Cao Cao feels that Xiahou Dun is even better than his biological brother, and he can understand and support him better...

Of course Cao Hong is good, but don't let him make a choice when facing money...

Cao Ren’s problem is that he is too face-y...

Cao Xiu, Cao Chun, Cao Zhen, etc. are all still young and not enough to play the leading role.

Xia Houyuan...forget it, just don't mention it!

Among the many generals, Xiahou Dun is the only one who knows Cao Cao's own thoughts best, and is also the most considerate of the overall situation, focusing on the overall strategy. Therefore, this time, Xiahou Dun will most likely, no, Xiahou Dun will definitely attack, and once he leaves Yang City, either Xiahou Dun became the target of Hussar, or Yangcheng was the target...

Maybe, both.

well!

I regretted that I had coveted the Hussar's horse and gave it to Xun You and Xun Gongda. Now I realize that it was just like a thirsty man drinking poisonous wine, and the poison became active. Otherwise, how could the Hussar make such a plan against Xiahou Dun?

Cao Cao finally saw clearly and understood that this was not a tactic to mislead the troops, nor was it a tactic to slow down the troops, nor was it a tactic to divide the troops, but the Hussars General was using a heart-breaking tactic from the very beginning!

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, stood up, and immediately burst into laughter. The laughter was loud and rolling, and for a moment the tent seemed to be shaking. The guard outside the tent peeked slightly, and when he saw that there seemed to be no problem, he retreated again, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little more relaxed.

"Someone is coming!" ” Cao Cao stopped laughing and immediately shouted loudly, “My filial son always waits here for the Wuhuan troops. Zi Lian will go out with someone... to the battle!” 』

...! (′θ｀)ノ……

Xu County, imperial city, side hall.

It was quiet everywhere, not even a sound was heard. If it weren't for Liu Xie who could still hear his own breathing, there might not be anyone alive here!

Speaking of which, there is indeed not much popularity in the imperial city. It seems that it has been like this since Liu Xie was as old as he can remember, and then slowly, he seemed to get used to it.

Later, when Dong Zhuo came and his brother died, I saw all the ministers obeying Dong Zhuo, and I couldn't help but feel resentful. But in the end, because of the wasted years, it seemed to be hidden in the cracks of the bones, and would only come out when the weather changed. , soreness and discomfort.

The blood all over his body seemed to fall from the city wall when Wang Chong jumped, blooming into a peerless white and red flower, and then turned into a seed again, taking root deep in his heart. Prick it down, it will hurt...

This is my big man!

This is the world of the great man!

I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the lord of the world!

Liu Xie screamed in his sleep countless times, but he always found that he couldn't make a sound. No one listened, and some people couldn't understand. He even passed by indifferently, leaving him standing alone. Spin, spin under the high wall, never get over it.

Xu County was in turmoil, but Yuzhou was shaken.

As soon as the Qiusi came out of Hangu Pass, the whole world was shocked!

Sometimes Liu Xie doesn't know whether he should be happy or...

In the palace, the number of guards gradually increased, most of them with unfamiliar faces.

Liu Xie knew what this was for.

It's late at night, and the little yellow door is leaning against the pillar, nodding its head to the left, then to the right...

In this city, most ordinary people have already gone to sleep. Those who are still asleep are mostly not ordinary people.

If the hussar general really arrived at the city that day, what should he do?

In other words, what is the best way to do it?

The light was dim, like the man's last bit of hope, swaying, as if it might go out at any time.

What if, what if?

I have no idea I have no idea……

This big man is indeed as dim as this late night. But a few hours later, there will be a new day, and the sun will rise again. From which direction will the sun of the big man rise?

Yesterday, Liu Ye sat with him for a whole afternoon.

Sit here again all morning today.

Added up, the whole day was about one person.

A person from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Duke Bai wins.

In particular, he said two things. The first thing is that when Bai Gong defeated Wu, Zixi wanted to summon him. Ye Gong said: "I heard that I won and I believed in it and was brave. I didn't do anything disadvantageous." He gave up all the borders and made Wei Fan Yan. Ye Gongze replied: "Zhou Ren is called faith, and being righteous is called courage." When I heard that I won, I would like to reply, but if I ask for death, is it really selfish? Repeating words is not faith; anticipating death is not courage. You will regret it! ” Zi Xifu followed and summoned his envoy to Wu Jing to serve as Duke Bai.

The second thing was to win the self-li sword. Ziqi's son Ping saw it and said, "How can the king and grandson be able to self-li?" ’ He said: ‘The best is to hear things straightly. If you don’t tell your daughter, is it fair to say that you are straight? I will kill your father. ” Ping Yi sued Zixi. Zixi said: "Victory is like an egg that has wings left to grow." Chu State, I am dead. Who else will win if Ling Yin or Sima does not win? ” So he didn’t think so, and later defeated the rebellion.

Then Liu Ye left.

Then, Liu Ye did not come again this afternoon...

Liu Ye didn't say what he wanted to do, nor what he should do, but Liu Xie couldn't help but tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

Who is right and who is wrong about Bai Gongsheng? Who benefits from it and who has the last laugh?

So, what now?

The night was quiet, everything was silent and breathless, and no one was willing to give Liu Xie an answer...
