LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 229 Although the body is dead, the name can be hung on bamboo and silk!
After hearing Yuan Tan's order, Yuan's army began to retreat hastily, and was defeated for more than ten miles. It was not until Guan Yu ordered the ringing of gold, and when he heard the sound of ringing gold, the Qingzhou army finally stopped pursuing and returned to the stronghold.
Yuan Jun retreated for more than ten miles, and then under Yuan Tan's arrangement, he finally stopped and began to set up camp on the spot.
At this time, inside Yuan Jun's camp, Qu Yi said to Yuan Tan with a sullen face: "I underestimated Guan Yu. People say that Guan Yu is a hero. He is trusted today. I will bear in mind today's defeat."
"I have warned you, General Qu."
There was also some dissatisfaction in Yuan Tan's words, saying: "General Qu underestimated the enemy. Our army suffered a defeat in the first battle. Although the casualties were not heavy, it has now lost all its energy and is disadvantageous in the battle."
Qu Yi heard the dissatisfaction in Yuan Tan's words, and his face suddenly turned ugly, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to say: "I will make up for it in the future."
Hearing Qu Yi's words, Yuan Tan nodded, but did not continue to criticize Qu Yi. After all, although he was the son of Yuan Shao and had a noble status, he was still leading the army. He only followed the army and had to obey Qu Yi's command. .
The most important thing is that although this battle was defeated, it had little impact on the battle situation. After all, they were only the vanguard, and the army was still on its way to the plains.
As long as he waits for the arrival of the 150,000 troops, joins forces with the army, and then attacks the plains, with such a disparity in strength, no matter how brave Guan Yu is, he will never be able to resist.
"Now that the first battle has been defeated, the morale of the army is unstable. We are afraid that Guan Yu will send troops to attack us. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We can first retreat to the Bohai Sea, wait a few days, and join the army before attacking the plains together."
At this time, a stern look appeared in Qu Yi's eyes, and he said: "At that time, I will avenge my shame, capture Guan Yu alive, and present it to the lord's tent!"
"That's all."
Yuan Tan nodded slightly and said.
So, the next day, Qu Yi and Yuan Tan led their troops to continue marching north, leaving the plains, returning to the Bohai Sea, and re-camped in Ningjin, the southernmost part of the Bohai Sea.
This news was immediately learned by Tan Ma, who was paying attention to Yuan Jun's movements, and he quickly rushed back to camp to report it to Guan Yu.
"Report! Qu Yi and Yuan Tan have led their troops out of the plain, all the way back to the Bohai Sea, and settled in the Ningjin area closest to the plain." The spy said to Guan Yu with his hands in hand.
"Returned to the Bohai Sea?"
Hearing the news, Guan Yu had a look of surprise on his face.
"Seeing how powerful the general is, how can Qu Yi dare to stay in the plains?"
Next to Guan Yu, Zhou Cang carefully wiped the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with a cloth and said with a smile: "Qu Yi is a pioneer, but now he doesn't dare to stay in the plains. Can he still be called a pioneer?"
Guan Yu narrowed his phoenix eyes, stroked his long beard with his hand, and said: "Qu Yi retreated to Bohai. He must have wanted to join forces with Yuan Shao, raise an army of 150,000, and then come back to attack the plains."
After hearing this, the smile on Zhou Cang's face gradually faded, and he asked worriedly: "General, Yuan's army is very powerful, how can we resist it?"
"Even if you can't stop it, you have to stop it."
Guan Yu shook his head, stroking his beard and said: "Brother has entrusted me with the great responsibility of guarding Qingzhou. How can I let him down? Let alone an army of 150,000 people. What if Yuan Shao has an army of one million?"
"What if you really can't resist it?"
Zhou Cang thought for a while and couldn't help but asked curiously: "After all, the enemy army has 150,000 troops and is coming with great force. If Qingzhou falls and Yuan Shao surrenders the general, will the general be willing to surrender to Yuan Shao?"
"What do you mean by this?!"
Hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Guan Yu's face, and he said: "I am a good warrior, and my master treats me as a brother. I love my brothers and my righteousness is as heavy as a mountain. How can I betray my righteousness and surrender to the enemy?"
"General, forgive me!"
Seeing Guan Yu's anger, Zhou Cang quickly explained: "I just asked out of curiosity and had no other intention."
"If a city is broken, it is just death. Jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed. Bamboo can be burned but its knots cannot be destroyed. Even though the body dies, the name can be hung on the bamboo and silk! What is there to be afraid of?" Guan Yu's voice was sonorous and firm. 's mouth said.
Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhou Cang couldn't help but be moved. He couldn't help but raised his hands and said: "Cang is willing to follow the general!"
"Although I know you are speaking out of curiosity, please don't mention this matter again in the future. Otherwise, don't blame Guan for being ruthless!" Guan Yu looked at Zhou Cang and said.
"Yes, Cang Jin will keep it in mind!" Zhou Cang immediately said with his hands in hand.
"How is the situation over there with General Xu?"
Guan Yu pondered for a moment, then asked Zhou Cang again.
"General Xu has raised 20,000 Yellow Turban troops and is on his way to the plains. He will arrive in two days."
Hearing this, Zhou Cang immediately replied: "It should be in time."
After hearing Zhou Cang's words, Guan Yu nodded slightly and said, "I just don't know if the big brother has received the news now."
"Even if my lord has received the news, it will take time to lead his troops back to Qingzhou to come back for reinforcements, and it will be difficult to defend Langya that has just been defeated."
Zhou Cang couldn't help but cursed: "Yuan Shao, you thief, you are really abominable!"
Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "Send my order to prepare the three armies. After General Xu leads the reinforcements to the plains, Yuan's army should have almost joined forces to make a comeback. We must hold the plains before my eldest brother leads his troops back to Qingzhou!"
"yes!"
Zhou Cang's face became more solemn, he raised his hands and said.
…………
On the other hand, the news that Qu Yi was defeated against Guan Yu and had no choice but to lead his troops back to Ningjin quickly reached Yuan Shao's ears.
"Unexpectedly, Gong Ming was also defeated by Guan Yu!"
After hearing the news, Yuan Shao looked ugly and said with great disappointment.
Although he knew that Guan Yu was brave, after all, he had witnessed Guan Yu warm wine and kill Hua Xiong, but Qu Yi was the most important general under his command after all, and Gongsun Zan was the one who made the first contribution. Not only was he brave and good at fighting, but his ability to lead troops was even better. powerful.
Therefore, in his expectation, even if Qu Yi did not defeat Guan Yu, he would at least be evenly matched.
At this time, after hearing the news, netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but start talking.
"Damn it, the second master really defeated Qu Yi?"
"Your second master will always be your second master, and you can always trust him!"
"Qu Yi actually suffered a defeat? When he fought against Gongsun Zan, Qu Yi could be said to have never been defeated. He can be called Gongsun Zan's nemesis!"
"If Zhao Yun is still under Gongsun Zan, that might not be the case. (Funny.jpg)"
"Since defeating Gongsun Zan, Qu Yi's eyes have grown to the top of his head. I can't even see him. Now he is finally defeated in the hands of the second master. I am very happy!"
"Qu Yi is crazy, but he does have abilities. This is true. He must be the second master. The second master is mighty!"
"Are you more crazy than the second master? Isn't he called the King of Forces for nothing? Both of them are crazy, but the second master is obviously more crazy."
"However, even if Qu Yi is defeated, it will not help the overall situation. Qu Yi is just a vanguard, leading the vanguard. When the troops join forces, 150,000 troops will attack the plain. The plain terrain is difficult to defend. I'm afraid It’s precarious.”
"Have you received any news from Liu Caoxiao?"
"Not yet, Liu Caoxie is still arguing with Lu Bu. In ancient times, it was too inconvenient to send messages, so we had to send people to deliver the news. But calculating the time, it should be almost done soon."
"The importance of mobile phones is reflected at this time. If there was a mobile phone, where would there be so many things?"
"That's it. After all, even if Liu Caoxie gets the news and rushes back to Qingzhou without stopping, it will still take time on the way."
The barrage in the live broadcast room surged wildly, with dense barrage appearing almost every second.
At this time, Zhang He next to Yuan Shao said: "My lord, General Qu has suffered a new defeat and the morale of the army is unstable. Now we should quickly join forces with General Qu. After the army has gathered together and stabilized the morale of the army, we can attack Qingzhou again."
"That makes sense."
Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded, no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Send my order and march at full speed to meet up with General Qu in Ningjin!"
Following Yuan Shao's order, the army immediately accelerated its march and rushed towards Ningjin.
Two days later.
While Xu Rong rushed to the plain with the newly recruited Yellow Turban troops, Yuan Shao finally led the army to Ningjin and joined Qu Yi!
"I will finally be responsible for my lord's great trust. I ask my lord to punish me."
In the tent, Yuan Shao was sitting on the throne, and Qu Yi stood in the center of the tent, with his head lowered, asking Yuan Shao for forgiveness.
"After all, you underestimate the enemy too much."
Yuan Shao frowned slightly, looked at Qu Yi, and said: "Guan Yu is not as brave as Yan Liang Wen Chou. Although you are also brave and good at fighting, you are still slightly inferior to Yan Liang Wen Chou. You are better at leading troops in battle. If you want When fighting with Guan Yu in front of the formation, I can just order Yan Liang and Wen Chou to be the vanguard, so why send you?"
Hearing this, Qu Yi lowered his head immediately. He wanted to talk about Guan Yu's bravery and be more handsome, good and ugly, but in the end, Qu Yi did not speak. After all, these words were suspected of being a forced explanation for himself.
However, in terms of generals' fighting ability, he is indeed inferior to Yan Liang and Wen Chou. These two are the most skilled generals under Yuan Shao's command, and both have courage that no man can match.
Yuan Shao paused and continued: "Although Guan Yu is brave, he is only as brave as an ordinary man. He is not good at leading troops in battle. He has no record of leading troops. If you directly lead troops to attack, Guan Yu may not be your opponent."
"The Lord said so!"
Qu Yi nodded, he actually thought so in his heart.
At that time, he was directly wounded by Guan Yu's three swords. He could no longer fight and had to retreat. However, when he saw that the commander was injured and retreated after being slashed with three swords, the morale of the army was also shaken, and he had no choice but to retreat.
If he did not fight Guan Yu and directly led his troops to attack, the outcome might be completely different!
Yuan Shao looked at Qu Yi's attitude and nodded with satisfaction, suddenly feeling that Qu Yi's defeat at the hands of Guan Yu might not be a bad thing.
Qu Yi made the first contribution in conquering Gongsun Zan and pacifying Youzhou. Since then, he has been self-reliant on his achievements, arrogant and arrogant, looking down on the heroes of the world, and even sometimes being a little disrespectful to his lord.
That is to say, Qu Yi's attribute panel is indeed luxurious, his abilities are outstanding, and he also comes with the SSS-level special unit of First-Death Soldier, so Yuan Shao still reuses Qu Yi.
Beating a stick and giving a sweet date is the best way Yuan Shao has summed up since he has been in the game for so long.
Therefore, seeing that the sticks were finished, Yuan Shao immediately said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Gong Ming does not need to blame himself too much. After all, Guan Yu is also a fierce general. He has fought for Liu Bei in the north and south, and his record is brilliant."
"You have made great achievements in defeating Gongsun Zan before, and you retreated in time with few casualties, so I won't punish you. You should take this as a warning and never underestimate the heroes of the world."
"Thank you, my lord. If you capture the plains later, your achievements will be outweighed by your crimes!"
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Qu Yi was extremely grateful and immediately handed over his hands to thank him.
"Guan Yu is not as brave as an ordinary man, so there is nothing to fear. Compared to Guan Yu, it is Xu Rong who is our army's most serious concern. I am afraid it is the biggest obstacle to our army's capture of Qingzhou!"
There was a trace of fear in Yuan Shao's eyes, and he said: "Previously, Xu Rong was alone and there were no generals in the camp, but he led his army to kill Cao Cao's army, which was almost completely wiped out. He is well versed in the art of using troops. Although our army is large, but you are also Never underestimate Xu Rong because of this!"
"yes!"
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, all the generals in the camp had solemn expressions on their faces, and they all raised their hands and said.
"Okay, here's my order. Tomorrow the 150,000-strong army will be divided into seven groups and attack the plain. We must capture the plain as quickly as possible!"
Yuan Shao said: "The plain is Qingzhou's barrier. The entire Qingzhou terrain is extremely flat. There are no natural dangers and it is extremely difficult to defend. Therefore, as long as the plain is captured, Qingzhou will be defeated!"
The next day, under the attention of the whole network, Yuan Shao personally led an army of 150,000 people, left the Bohai Sea, and finally went south into Qingzhou and began to formally attack the plains.
The 150,000 Yuan army came over the border with great force. Because the disparity in strength was too great, and these 150,000 troops were all elite soldiers, even Guan Yu and Xu Rong did not dare to go out of the city to attack, and could only choose to defend the pass. Fortress, try to gain time.
Originally, Yuan Shao, and even the netizens who followed the live broadcast room, felt that in this situation, Guan Yu and Xu Rong should not be able to resist for two days, and Yuan Jun should be unstoppable, pushing forward all the way.
It is very reasonable to capture Pingyuan even within three days. After all, Pingyuan is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the troops in Pingyuan are insufficient. On the other hand, Yuan Shao has an army of 150,000!
but!
To everyone's surprise, even with such a big difference in military strength, Guan Yu and Xu Rong led their troops to defend, and the soldiers shared the same hatred, and they actually managed to hold on in the hands of Yuan Jun.
For several days, even though Yuan Jun attacked day and night, and although Guan Yu and Xu Rong struggled to defend, Yuan Jun never made much progress, and they were all beaten back. The plain defense line was simply impregnable!
Seeing the battle in the past few days, netizens in the live broadcast room were inexplicably shocked.
"Is there any mistake? Is the plain so difficult to defeat? The plain is as its name suggests, it is the plain!"
"The Jizhou soldiers under Yuan Shao, as well as the Euphorbia soldiers and the Xiandenshi soldiers, are all the best soldiers in the world. Guan Yu and Xu Rong have a total of 40,000 troops, of which 20,000 are Yellow Turban soldiers. Their combat power is better than that of the regular army. It’s a lot different, can this be blocked?”
"What the hell, is this a cliffhanger?"
"If this continues, Liu Caoxiao's side should be able to come back in time, and Qingzhou will be saved!"
