Chapter 219: Tigers and leopards attack Jilin jointly [Subscription required]

In the afternoon, the sun sets in the west.

Guo Jia was wearing a yellow-brown wide-sleeved Hanfu and walked slowly in the Mu Mansion.

Jia Xu's back was looming in front of him as he walked towards his own courtyard.

Guo Jia was quite certain that Jia Xu had fallen into his trap.

He followed behind, holding a cowhide bag in his hand, which contained steamed hot beans, equivalent to stewed beans in later generations.

From time to time, Guo Jia picked out a hot bean and put it into his mouth. It was soft and sweet. He followed Jia Xu in front of him closely.

boom!
As Jia Xu walked forward, his body suddenly shook a few times and then he fell down.

Guo Jia smiled, ate another hot bean, and quickened his pace.

But when he was seven or eight steps away from Jia Xu, he thought carefully and gave up trying to get closer and began to retreat.

Guo Jia retreated to the edge of a corridor on the side, sat on a wooden handrail, looked at the fallen Jia Xu from a distance, and continued to eat steamed beans.

"If you eat too much steamed beans, you will get gassy."

When Guo Jia heard a voice, he knew it was Dian Wei without turning around.

Behind him, Cao Cao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu appeared like ghosts, without any sound.

Cao Cao sat over and watched the fun.

Guo Jia also poured him some beans.

The two of them sat side by side on the railing, eating beans and watching Jia Xu.

Dian Wei also followed Cao Cao's example and reached out for hot beans, but Guo Jia rolled his eyes at him and said, "Aren't you afraid of the air leaking out?"

"Last time you asked me for a donkey, you said you would go and put a sack on Jia Wenhe, but you broke your promise and didn't give me the donkey. Instead, you took my donkey and you still have the nerve to ask me for hot beans?"

Dian Wei: "It's not that I don't keep my promise, it's that Jia Wenhe gave more than you. I didn't beat you up in return, which is a sign of loyalty."

"Who will be the winner between you two this round?" Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu who was lying motionless not far away.

"It's not clear who's winning."

Guo Jia said frankly:
"I managed to get a medicine from Zhongjing. When I was in Luoyang, I exchanged information with Jia Wenhe and handed him the leather scroll, so the medicine was contaminated on him."

"But he was fine at the time. I don't know how he resolved it. He even tried to fight back against me, but I dodged him."

"This time, when I got closer, I realized something was wrong. Jia Xu was pretending to be tricked, and he wanted to trick me in return."

Cao Cao finished his meal, patted his butt and left:

"The one lying there is a fake, the real Jia Xu has already escaped.

You didn't plot against him, and he didn't plot against you."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia glanced at the small courtyard where Jia Xu lived a little further away.

The real Jia Xu was hiding in the yard stealthily, also looking over here.

At this time, a personal soldier from the palace came and gave Guo Jia a letter.

It says that Ling Jin, a tomb robber, stole a painting of a ghost from a tomb. If anyone wears it, the effect is similar to that of the Painted Skin. It can form a ghost shadow on the face and affect the appearance.

Jia Xu had just left Cao Cao's study and turned into the corridor. He then asked a specially-arranged soldier to switch places with him, took the ghost painting, and put on a robe with medicine powder on it.

Jia Xu used the Dunjia map to hide his body, quietly returned to his yard, and observed from the dark.

Jia Xu sent a letter over, explaining the whole process clearly, and at the end he said that he had behaved himself and begged to be let off.

Guo Jia read the letter, muttered something, and left leisurely.

evening.

A convoy of carriages arrived in Changyi.

Yu Wen got out of the car, entered the Mu Mansion, and went to see his daughter and granddaughter first.

Cao Cao also returned to the inner house.

In the yard, a chubby little girl who was about to turn one year old was learning to walk unsteadily.

There was constant laughter in the yard.

Bian Mei is also there.

She has been coming to see Yu Qing recently to exchange experiences with pregnant women.

"Yue Weng."

"A good son-in-law."

Cao Cao and his father-in-law came to the inner study and asked someone to call Cai Yong.

"I think my dear son-in-law has already known about Jizhou's issuance of a manifesto?" Yu Wen asked.

"I, Yanzhou, also sent a reply letter."

The manifesto written by Cai Yong was only issued this morning and the news has not yet spread.

Cao Cao took out the manifesto.

Yu Wen read it once and smiled:
"Among the world's famous scholars, Cai Bojie is the most famous. He is proficient in everything from playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he can also write such a good manifesto."

"I don't deserve the praise from Patriarch Yu."

Cai Yong came in from outside.

Servants brought wine and food, and the few people sat opposite each other and chatted.

"... When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Bofu (Sun Ce), who had been appointed by him, immediately severed ties with Yuan Shu and was no longer subject to his control."

"I heard that Yuan Shu got sick from anger."

"Sun Bofu developed very quickly in the Jiangdong area, made friends with powerful people, and his influence gradually grew. He had a lot of the bravery of his father.

He has long wanted to get rid of Yuan Shu."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Luoyang has been very honest during this period."

Emperor Liu Xie's problem has always been with himself.

He wanted so badly to revive the Han Dynasty.

While Cao Cao was chatting with several people, he was waiting for news about the surprise attack on Jizhou.

----

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Jizhou.

Three or four years ago, Qiuliju, the leader of the Wuhuan people, died on the grasslands north of Jizhou and Youzhou.

His son Louban was still very young, and his nephew Tadun was brave and resourceful, so Tadun took over the power of the tribe and led the Wuhuan tribes in Youbeiping, Yuyang and Shanggu counties, and was deeply supported by the tribes under his command. When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were deadlocked, Tadun saw the opportunity and took the initiative to send an envoy to meet Yuan Shao.

Tadun expressed his willingness to help Yuan Shao.

Because when Gongsun Zan was at the peak of his power, he often led his White Horse Volunteers and used the surrounding foreign tribes to "train troops", and the two sides had a deep hatred.

Then the Wuhuan sent troops to help Yuan Shao fight Gongsun Zan.

After defeating Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, in the name of the imperial court, bestowed the title of Chanyu, as well as seals and ribbons, on the chiefs Tadun, Nanlou, Supuyan, Wuyan and others.

The Yuan family also married into the Wuhuan tribe, forming a solid alliance.

This time Jizhou is going to deal with Yanzhou.

The Wuhuan in the north took action upon hearing the news and still allied with Yuan Shao in the hope of gaining further benefits.

The Wuhuan cavalry is currently divided into two groups.

One force went south from Youzhou via Qingzhou, lying in hiding, preparing to join forces with the Jizhou army to launch an offensive against Yanzhou.

Another force, led by Tadun's brother Bailongpu, also stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River together with the Jizhou army, ready for battle.

Night falls.

The Jizhou Army was stationed in Liyang County, north of the river bank.

Bai Longpu, on the other hand, led his men to set up camp in the wilderness forty miles outside Liyang, acting as a surprise force.

There was a bonfire burning in the camp.

Several generals of the Wuhuan people were roasting mutton.

"The Han people's area is indeed richer than ours, and the climate is better. Unlike us, people often freeze to death or starve to death in the cold winter."

"When the Han people were not at war, they were richer than they are now, and their women were more beautiful."

"If we can seize some of the Han people's land, there won't be so many people, cattle and sheep freezing to death when winter comes."

Bailongpu was born strong and sturdy, with the roughness of a grassland man who had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, and his skin was brown.

"I want to go to Liyang County and take a look at the Han city!"

A Wuhuan general said: "Only by understanding the Han people better can we know how to deal with them."

Bai Longpu shook his head slightly and looked in the direction of Liyang.

“We couldn’t even deal with Youzhou before.

Yuan Benchu ​​of Jizhou is an expert in warfare and defeated Gongsun Zan. We must cooperate with him now to gain benefits. "

"He said his enemies are also very powerful and good at using troops, so he asked us to form an angle with Li Yang."

"Once something happens in Liyang, we can become a surprise force and go to support Liyang."

"Yuan Benchu ​​promised us that if we defeated his enemies, he would give us iron weapons, and he would also give us a portion of the women and food that he had taken from his enemies!"

Several Wuhuan generals around became excited.

"If the war begins, we must be cautious and act with Jizhou's main force. Don't rush ahead."

"Just looking at the number of troops Jizhou has gathered this time, you can tell that the opponent is very powerful. You must be careful." Bai Longpu warned again.

"If it is a battle between equal forces, we Wuhuan people are not afraid of any Han army. This time I will chop off their heads and take them back as wine vessels, and take the women back to give birth to us!
We must also take the young and strong back with us to be our slaves!"

Several people drank wine and ate meat, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

The next moment, they suddenly heard the thundering sound of horse hooves and the warning horns of the outer scouts.

"Enemy attack!"

The white dragon servant stood up suddenly.

Outside the Wuhuan camp, Zhao Zilong was wearing shiny silver armor, holding the Chaofeng Spear in his hand, and sitting on the Zhaoye Jade Lion that had accompanied him through many wars.

Beside him, a tall general jumped off his horse and said, "General Zhao, I'm leaving now."

This person was Gao Shun.

After he was captured, Cao Cao made him watch the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry training every day.

The scene of military training with blood and energy turning into war smoke and sweat dripping down people's backs is what Gao Shun looks forward to most.

He watched for several months and when he couldn't wait any longer, Cao Cao asked him if he would surrender.

If Gao Shun was willing to surrender, he would be given the Xianzhen Camp to lead and serve as Zhang Liao's deputy general.

These words hit Gao Shun right in the heart.

When he was first captured, he was determined to die.

But after staying there for a few months, I watched military training every day.

His desire to train a strong army was gradually aroused, and the thought of death faded.

He wanted to return to the battlefield and live and die together with his soldiers.

Cao Cao also promised that he would not deprive him of his leadership of the Xianzhen Camp and would provide the best equipment support.

Gao Shun had no reason to refuse.

This was his first battle after he surrendered to Yanzhou and took charge of the Xianying Camp again.

Zhao Yun led his troops from the Black Mountain Army’s base, moving from west to east, and attacked the Wuhuan cavalry.

The order Cao Cao gave him was to fight the Han people and never let the Wuhuan people take advantage, and to defeat the Wuhuan first.

Zhao Yun led a thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, plus Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp of 786 people as a supplement, and they sneaked over overnight.

The two places were not far apart, and the Yanzhou army rushed up and directly attacked the Wuhuan camp.

The battle is on!

After Gao Shun dismounted, he was covered in heavy infantry armor, holding a shield in one hand and a long-handled war hammer in the other, and ordered the entire army to advance.

The Yanzhou army launched a surprise attack on Wuhuan, and the news was known to Yuan Shao in Yecheng a quarter of an hour later.

He sneered, "As expected, Cao Cao wants to attack Jizhou again. He attacked Yecheng last time, how could I be fooled again!

Send an order to the soldiers who have been ambushed in advance to rush to the White Dragon Servant's aid."

"Then ask Liu Xuande and his two brothers to lead the troops to kill the Cao army generals and bring their heads to me!"

Liu Bei and his two brothers left Xuzhou and are currently serving under Yuan Shao.

After being defeated by Cao Cao once, Yuan Shao became more prepared.

This time the Yanzhou army came again, just to avenge their last surprise attack on Yecheng!
