Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 535: Northern Expedition

Yuan Xi saw that the three Karasuma chiefs were emotional, and he immediately proposed that everyone should be **** as an alliance while the iron was hot. The three Karasuma chiefs naturally agreed, Yuan Xi looked at Liu Yi and asked: "The three great kings want to be an alliance of blood, what do you think of your husband?" Everyone's eyes focused on Liu Yi to see what he said.

Seeing that Liu Yi hadn't spoken for a long time, the three of them became impatient. They snorted and said viciously: "If you don't want to be an alliance with blood, you have different intentions!"

Liu Yi saw that everyone looked bad, and smiled: "I am not unwilling to be an alliance with you, but I am just thinking about how to deal with Chen Lang." When everyone heard this, their expressions eased. Yuan Xi stood up and said, "Since we all have this heart, we will form an alliance with Yuexueblood at this time!" The three Karasuma leaders yelled at the promise, and Liu Yi nodded.

Yuan Xi immediately made people put on the incense case. Three sticks of incense were placed on the incense case. The five people each took a stick and walked to the incense case. Yuan Xi first bowed to the sky and said loudly: "Today I am Yuan Xi With the three Karasuma Kings and Liaodong Gongsun Zan, they are allied by blood, and they will fight the enemy together and live and die together. If you violate this oath, I am willing to suffer thousands of swords and die!" The four people also said after Yuan Xi's words.

Yuan Xi put the incense in his hand on the incense case, and everyone else followed. A soldier held a bowl of wine and put it in front of everyone, and then handed everyone a knife. Yuan Xi first cut his finger with a knife and dripped a drop of blood into the bowl. The others followed suit. Then Yuan Xi took the bowl of wine contaminated by the blood of five people and took a big sip, and then handed it to Shi Dun. He took a drink and took a sip before passing it on to others. In this way, everyone drank the blood wine, Yuan Xi drew out the sword and exclaimed excitedly: "From today on, I will live and die together and swear to destroy Chen Lang!" Everyone also drew out their swords and swore to the Heavenly Alliance.

Yuan Xi led everyone into the hall and continued to have a banquet, until midnight, everyone was drunk.

The next morning, Yuan Xi summoned everyone to discuss a strategy against Qin Jun, and everyone stood in front of a huge map. The map shows the situation of Qingzhou and its surrounding areas in Youzhou, Jizhou, and highlights the situation of Qin Jun in Jizhou.

Yuan Xi pointed to Jizhou Road: "At present, the total strength of the Qin Army in Jizhou is about 60,000, plus the surrendered soldiers and horses such as Ju Yi, the total strength is about 100,000. According to most of the soldiers and horses in Jizhou City "Then he pointed to Bohai County, "In addition, Ma Chao's 10,000 warriors are in Bohai." Yuan Xi turned around and said to everyone: "The enemy forces in Bohai are limited and it is not enough to be afraid of, so I decided to concentrate all of us. The main force directly attacked Jizhou! Strive to destroy the enemy troops stationed in Jizhou! Our troops are far above the enemy, and this battle will be successful! If this battle is won, Jizhou will recover! If you can sack Chen Lang, say Uncertainly, you can also attack Luoyang in one go!"

Shi Dun couldn't help coveting: "I heard that Luoyang is extremely prosperous and prosperous! The floors on the streets are all made of jade, the houses are all made of gold, and there are countless beautiful women, so they look like a heavenly palace?" Louban Nengchen also They all looked at Yuan Xi curiously.

Yuan Xi smiled and said: "It's almost like that." The three Karasuma leaders couldn't help but have green eyes, as if they saw the flesh and blood of a hungry wolf.

Yuan Xichao Liu Yi clasped his fist and said, "Mr. has always been resourceful. I wonder if there is anything wrong with my plan?"

Liu Yi clasped his fist in admiration and said: "The strategy laid down by the son is very appropriate, and I admire it very much!" Yuan Xi couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

Liu Yi asked for instructions: "My son, it will take time for our army to mobilize, so I rushed back to report to my Patriarch!" Yuan Xi nodded, and said, "Please greet Uncle Gongsun for me." Liu Yi responded. Went in a hurry. The three of them also bid farewell one after another, and returned to their respective places to mobilize troops and horses. There was still a while before the army gathered, Yuan Xi anxiously followed the movements of the Qin army in Jizhou.

Soon after, Yuan Xi suddenly received an urgent report saying that the Qin Army's follow-up troops had arrived in Jizhou one after another, with a total of 120,000 troops. When Yuan Xi heard this number, he was relieved, because Yuan Xi alone came back with nearly 300,000 troops, plus Karasuma and Gongsundu’s soldiers and horses, and the total force is definitely more than 500,000. Yuan Xi felt confident against the opponent's 220,000 army. He was even a little happy with the current situation, because as long as he could eliminate Chen Lang's 220,000 army in Jizhou, it would have eliminated almost all the main force of the Qin army in the north. At that time, he could not only regain Jizhou, but also invade Bingzhou and even take Luoyang. If it reaches that point, it can be said whether it is extremely peaceful or not.

Yuan Xi smiled to his complacency, and couldn't help getting excited, and asked Ju Xie impatiently: "Sir, where are the troops of Karasuma and Gongsundu?"

Jushou clasped his fist and said, "I just received the news that the Karasuma cavalry has entered our borders with one hundred thousand cavalry."

Yuan Xi was surprised: "One hundred thousand cavalry?!"

auzw.com Jiao Shi smiled and said: "The Karasuma population is less than 300,000, and there are 100,000 cavalry soldiers. It seems that they are coming out!" Yuan Xi laughed. He quickly asked, "Where is Gongsundu's army?"

Ju taught: "Gongsun Duling Liu Yi led King Goryeo and led the Goryeo army of 80,000 and Liaodong cavalry 20,000, totaling 100,000 troops, and they have entered our borders." The King Goryeo mentioned here is no longer the one who helped Xianbei to attack the Qin army. That Goryeo King is already, that Goryeo King has died of illness, and now this is the first son of Goryeo at that time. At the beginning, the King of Goryeo surrendered to Ke Bineng with Gongsundu on his back in order to break away from Gongsundu's control and control the entire Liaodong region. However, the result was far beyond the expectations of the Koreans. Goryeo suffered heavy losses in the expedition led by the Xianbei people. Today, Gao Guli is even more unable to get rid of Gongsundu's control.

Yuan Xi heard that another 100,000 army came, and said with joy: "Great! Our 500,000 army! This battle will win!" He immediately said with enthusiasm: "I want to take the initiative to destroy the Qin army in one fell swoop!"

Jushou was taken aback, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "You must not! Qin Jun is a tiger and wolf, and the generals of the Qin Jun are even rarer than the opponents! The front of the wild war, the Xianbei army of millions, was beaten to dust. Annihilation, the armies have not yet come together, our army must not rush into field battles, otherwise I am afraid that there will be accidents! Master think twice!"

Yuan Xi was originally on Xing's head but was thrown down by Jushou's head with a basin of cold water, which made him very unhappy. However, he thought of Qin Jun's achievements over the years, and he also knew that Jushou was right, and he was afraid that there would be some unpredictable attack on the initiative. Yuan Xi frowned and said, "According to what you mean, is it necessary to insist on waiting for the army to gather before attacking?" Yuan Xi was a little impatient, but his anxiety was because of a woman, a woman. That is his fiancee, Zhen Mi. Yuan Xi has been anxious these days, just worrying that Zhen Mi is now in Jizhou and wondering what is going on? What he worried most was that the hungry ghost in Chen Lang learned of Zhen Mi's beauty and took her into captivity. Whenever he thinks of this, Yuan Xi dare not think anymore, just want to lead his army into Jizhou as soon as possible to save his woman!

Ju Shou was about to speak when an officer suddenly rushed in and reported anxiously: "Qi, lord, then Chen Lang led the main army to leave Jizhou northward two days ago, and came straight to our side!"

Yuan Xi was taken aback, and then scolded angrily: "I didn't go looking for him, he actually sent him to the door! Really do not live or die!"

Jushou frowned and said, "Chen Lang probably already knows the news that Karasuma and Gongsun Du's army are gathering on our side. He wants to defeat our army in one fell swoop before their army arrives so as to take the initiative. right."

Yuan Xi said angrily: "A mere two hundred thousand people want to break my 300,000 army in such a short period of time!? I want to lead the army to fight against Chen Lang! I want him to know how good I am. !"

Jushou hurriedly said: "If this is the case, it will be in Chen Lang's arms! Lord, right now is the perfect opportunity for our army to defeat the Qin army! Chen Lang will definitely hope to make a quick battle, and we will not let him do what he wants and rely on. Jiancheng resisted and cut its spirit! At the same time, the Karasuma Cavalry copied their back path. Once the Karasuma Cavalry succeeds, we will fully counterattack and we will surely wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Xi was overjoyed and praised: "A good strategy! Just do it!" Then he called the messenger to retreat to Youzhou, and at the same time, he set up the walls and cleared the country, and sent the messenger to order the 50,000 side and Liu Yi side.

On the other side, Chen Lang led an army of 200,000 troops northward, but did not encounter any resistance after entering Youzhou. He said that the villages and towns only saw people go to the empty buildings. Chen Lang said: "It seems that Yuan Xi wants to use the tactics of standing firm and clearing the ground against us."

Pang Tong frowned and said: "I didn't expect Yuan Xi to have such courage! I originally thought that he would attack with his strength! This is a bit beyond my expectation."

Chen Lang smiled and said: "Yuan Xi has no such courage. It should be Jushou who came up with this idea." Pang Tong nodded, then smiled and admired: "Jushou, it really is a well-deserved reputation!"

At this time, a scout rushed straight to Chen Lang, strangled the horse, and reported: "Master, twenty miles away is Youzhou City!"

After half an hour, everyone saw that on a plain, with a mountain backed by a large city, it was the famous city of Youzhou. Youzhou City, where the Youzhou government is located, is also known as Fan Yang.

Sitting on horseback, Chen Lang looked at Youzhou City, and saw that the people in the city looked like a forest with swords and guns, with a cold and murderous intent. He couldn't help but smile: "Yuan Xi is already waiting." Then he looked at the surrounding terrain and saw. Not far away, there was a small hill next to a stream, and he pointed to it and said, "The army will camp over there!"

Yuan Xi couldn't help feeling proud when he saw that the enemy did not come directly on the wall but had set up a camp outside the city.
