Han counter current

After all, the more you want to achieve greater results, the more time and energy you have to spend, and you have to plan slowly, without being impatient.

Before Chen Feng got Li Ru, he only had Jia Xu by his side.Facing Cao Cao's coercion and the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan brothers, Jia Xu could help him win again and again, but he couldn't get rid of this predicament.

But after having Li Ru, capturing Youzhou, going north to the grasslands, attacking Hetao, subduing Wuhuan, splitting up Xianbei, etc., this series of achievements appeared, and Chen Feng's strength became stronger step by step.

It can be said that Chen Feng could not be what he is today without Li Ru's planning.Now, Chen Feng's ability to defeat Cao Cao is also inseparable from Li Ru's plan.

This is not to say that Li Ru is different than Jia Xu or Guo Jia, it just means that they are good at different directions, and under certain circumstances and conditions, the credit they can make is not ordinary.

If in a war or an encounter, if Li Ru faced Guo Jia, it would probably be due to being abused, but if in a protracted and grand war, if Guo Jia wanted to take advantage of Li Ru, it would probably be It's not that simple anymore.

With Chen Feng's strength, if he wanted to defeat Cao Cao, it simply couldn't be solved in one or two battles.Even if he can defeat Cao Cao more than a dozen times, he will not be able to occupy the Central Plains.

Therefore, Li Ru made such a plan.Now, Chen Feng, Liu Bei, and Sima Yi have divided up some of Cao Cao's territory together, and there are also melees among the three families, which messed up the north of the Yangtze River quite chaotically.

Under such a situation, Chen Feng fished in troubled waters and obtained huge results again and again, while Cao Cao was weakened in such battles.

On the fifth day after Cao Cao's retreat, Gao Lan, who guarded Shangdang, suddenly led [-] elite troops and [-] slaves to attack Chaoge. After holding back for so long, he finally found a chance to vent his anger.

It was not so easy for Cao Cao to retreat. The cavalry led by Zhao Yun chased them up in the shortest time, and the main force of Cao's army was delayed.

"Turn up the march and return to Yanzhou as soon as possible. In this way, there is still a chance to regain the lost ground in Yuzhou, and even lead the army back to Xuchang to repel Gongsunxu's troops."

On the horse, Cao Cao's expression was not good. In order to deal with Zhao Yun's 1 chasing troops, he also left [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to stop them. These [-] horses are all the elite of Cao's army.

There is no way, the number of people left behind, or ordinary county soldiers, is simply not enough for Zhao Yun to eat. Over the years, Zhao Yun has gained a great reputation, and the Yi Congjun under his command is the world's first-class elite cavalry .

When Cao Cao left the [-] elite, he also felt very heartbroken, but in order to regain his territory and preserve his strength, he had to do so.

"Arrows,,,,,,"

Just as Cao Jun continued to march, a roar came from nearby, followed by countless arrows flying from the two wings. Looking at the situation, there was an army ambushing Cao Jun here.

However, after all, Cao Cao personally led the army, and Cao Jun's elite were all elites in all battles. In addition, there were resourceful men like Guo Jia sitting in the battle. Cao Jun quickly calmed down in the face of an ambush.

"Shields, shields step forward, crossbowmen counterattack, cavalry array,,,,,,"

Cao Cao issued a series of orders in the shortest possible time. Even Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riders did not need Cao Cao's orders at all. They had already listed the best defensive formation in the shortest time.

"Cao's army is elite, it's really hard to deal with. No wonder the lord wants to calculate the opponent so deliberately. Unexpectedly, the time Zilong bought for me and the ambush circle I set up can only have this effect."

In the distance, Huang Zhong's face was full of shock. He led [-] cavalry to make a detour. It was Zhao Yun who held back the main force of Cao's army before. In order to buy time, he rushed to the road that Cao's army must pass in advance.

Originally, he was mentally calculating without intention. He thought he could win a big victory and even wipe out the main force of Cao's army.But who would have thought that Cao Jun's elite would react so quickly and their counterattack would be so fierce.

"Forget it, anyway, the lord only asks me to kill Cao Jun's elite as much as possible, so it's not a problem to waste it like this. Come here, send an order, and prepare to attack."

Seeing the enemy recovering from the panic, and then began to counterattack, even the cavalry on the opposite side had already lined up, Huang Zhong didn't bother to wait.

However, before the slave army on Huang Zhong's side was ready, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed over.With this speed of reaction, and with this ferocity, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can be called the elite.

Chapter 721 Tiger Falls Pingyang 2

On the battlefield, the [-] soldiers led by Huang Zhong and the [-] elite Cao Jun fought together, while Cao Cao ordered the remaining soldiers and horses to line up.

"Although the enemy general is fierce, his strategic vision is limited. If we fight like this, we are doomed not to win. Perhaps, the opponent just wants to bite us.

That being the case, the old man doesn't have to keep his hands, and defeats this group of troops as soon as possible, so that he can return to Yanzhou as soon as possible. Come on, the infantry is ready to advance. "

Cao Cao has been observing the situation on the battlefield. The opponent's [-] cavalry are actually very powerful, even daring to attack the formation of tiger and leopard cavalry time and time again.

But no matter what, the tiger and leopard cavalry were far more elite than those slave soldiers, even if the slave soldiers on the opposite side were brave enough to die, it didn't mean they could defeat the elite under Cao Cao's command.

"My lord, if you want to defeat this enemy army as soon as possible, you must first kill or hold back the enemy general. Please look, my lord, the one wielding a broadsword and wearing a golden helmet should be the enemy general.

This man's name is Huang Zhong, originally from Xiangyang, he went to Liaodong to seek medical treatment for his son, and then worshiped under Chen Feng's command. It is said that this man's bravery is comparable to that of Lu Bu back then, and he has not met his opponent with a big sword.

Oh, by the way, the Golden Sword King Han Rong was intercepted by him when he retreated with us last time. Huang Zhong killed him in less than twenty rounds. "

Guo Jia's face was still so pale, and the exhaustion in his eyes revealed his physical condition at the moment, but in order for the army to return as soon as possible, he couldn't care less.

"It turns out that this man's bravery is indeed rare in the world. In just a short time, he has killed twenty of my generals one after another, and there are hundreds of soldiers.

Zhongkang, in the whole army, I am afraid that you are the only one who can fight with this man. I have fifty tiger guards with you, and you go and entangle him to create opportunities for our army to attack. "

"Promise, my lord, the final general only needs [-] tiger guards, and within a stick of incense, this person's head will definitely be retrieved."

In the past two years, Xu Chu had witnessed Cao Cao's various calculations and failures. Now that Cao Cao was frustrated, he felt very uncomfortable. Now that Huang Zhong came to his door, he was naturally unwilling to let him leave alive.

"Hehe, Zhongkang, the overall situation is the most important thing, you just need to pester him."

After Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head and smiled. He naturally knew that Xu Chu was speaking in anger. Although Cao Cao's military strength could not rank among first-class generals, he still had good eyesight.

The Huang Zhong in front of him had reached the state of perfection with one-handed swordsmanship, and his ability to kill Han Rong in more than 20 rounds proved this point.Right now, even if Lu Bu is resurrected, I'm afraid he can't be killed within a stick of incense.

As for Xu Chu, naturally he has no such ability.If Xu Chu was too reckless, Huang Zhong might plot against him, so Cao Cao only needed Xu Chu to entangle him.

Soon, with the attack of fifty tiger guards led by Xu Chu, Huang Zhong's offensive was finally contained temporarily. Afterwards, the northern border army lost its unified command and gradually fell into a situation of fighting among themselves.

Cao Cao seized this opportunity and directed the follow-up troops to attack with all their strength. This battle ended in Huang Zhong's defeat.More than [-] slaves were killed and wounded in the northern border army, and more than [-] were captured. Cao Cao didn't have time to take these prisoners, so he killed them all. Huang Zhong led the rest of the soldiers to retreat.

One day later, Huang Zhong, who gathered the remaining soldiers and horses, did not pursue Cao's army anymore, but led the remaining soldiers and horses to the north to surround Cao Cao's blocking troops.

In the south of Bingzhou, Gao Lan led his men to fight more and more bravely, and even broke through Chaoge. After that, Gao Lan left two thousand soldiers and horses to defend Chaoge, guard the retreat, and then continued to lead the army forward.

There are two roads before Gao Lan. The first is to seize Guandu in the southwest, enter the north of Xuchang, and then encircle Xuchang with Gongsun Xu.

The second thing is to turn to Yanzhou and attack Chenliu.If he could capture this place before the main force of Cao's army returned to Chenliu, then Cao Cao would lose the capital to settle down.

Comparatively speaking, the second choice is more attractive to Gao Lan. After all, Gongsun Xu has already surrounded Xuchang, so even if he goes to Gao Lan, he can only get some credit for Gongsun Xu's unwanted contribution.

If he can take Chen Liu, then Cao Cao's family members who stay here will be captured by him, and some of Cao Jun's elite family members will not be able to escape. At that time, he can even use this to distract Cao Jun's army.

After holding back for so many years, I watched my colleagues make great contributions one by one, but he, Gao Lan, has always been in the front line and Bingzhou.After guarding Yanmen, guard Taiyuan, and after guarding Taiyuan, guard Shangdang.

It can be said that Gao Lan did not encounter most of the battles that Chen Feng commanded and participated in.Although Chen Feng didn't treat him badly these years, Gao Lan kept holding back this breath in his heart.

He and Zhang He were the first major generals to serve Chen Feng, but now, Zhang He has been able to command the army to fight Cao Cao head-on on the frontline battlefield. The rest, such as Zhang Xiu, Meng Zhan, Gongsun Xu, etc., are all later than him. But the mix is ​​better than him.

Even Guan Hai, Zhang Yan and others, in terms of background and ability, Gao Lan is no worse than them, but Gao Lan's achievements and role in these years seem to be no different from these people.

After finally catching this opportunity, how could Gao Lan let go of the great achievements in front of him to attack Yanzhou and capture Chenliu? This is the opportunity reserved for him by heaven.

It's a pity that Gao Lan chose the wrong opponent. Even if Cao Cao was at a disadvantage, he was still Cao Cao. Especially when Cao Pi wanted to stand on his own, Cao Cao felt that Xu Chang was not safe enough.

Therefore, the construction of Chenliu was strengthened, and the military division Cheng Yu was stationed in Chenliu. There were [-] soldiers in the city. In addition, when Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou this time, not all the troops returned together.

In order to prevent accidents in Chen Liu, Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhang to lead five thousand cavalry to set off first. When he rushed back, he happened to encounter Gao Lan leading an army to attack Chen Liu.
