Chapter 33 Cao Cao and Lu Bu's great engagement Nanye Guo Jia disturbance in Jizhou (30
Nanye's party had a long meal, and this day was finally close to the boundary of Youzhou. I saw a big mountain in front of me towering and magnificent, with high mountains and lush trees, and only one official road passing through the mountain.
Guo Jia pointed to the mountain and said to Nanye, "Master, as long as I cross this mountain, I will arrive in Youzhou. Even if Yuan Shao sends troops to chase him, he will definitely stop here.
Nanye was also relieved to hear that Gongsun Zan's territory. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, which is the same for Nan Ye and Gongsun Zan.
As soon as Guo Jia's words fell, Taishi Ci flew up from the back team and said, "Master, Yuan Shao's army is chasing behind him. Please make a deal."
When Nan Ye heard the words, he looked back and saw the dust flying behind him and rushing straight to the sky. Obviously, there was a large army galloping. Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud: the dust is high and sharp, and it is the enemy's chariot coming. The dust is low and wide, and it is the enemy's infantry. The dust was evacuated, and the enemy was dragging firewood. There is little dust and it rises and falls from time to time. It is the enemy who is camping.
At this time, the dust behind him is high and sharp, which is obviously a trace of the carriage and horse. Judging from the dust area, at least tens of thousands of cavalry attacked.
Nan Ye was awe-inspiring when he saw this scene, and he was really afraid of something. The strength of his own guards is extraordinary, but many ants bite to death. In the case of facing the base, not to mention 10,000 cavalry, even a thousand cavalry is terrible.
Before, it was able to eliminate 800 first-dead soldiers without a single soldier, which was entirely due to the rivalry of the rivalry and the sudden attack of Qu Yi and Zhou Ang, which made the enemy soldiers afraid. Now tens of thousands of cavalry Nanye really don't know how to deal with it.
Nan Ye thought for a moment and said, "I am outnumbered, and it is not appropriate to fight. I will wait and speed forward. Once I enter the boundary of Youzhou, the pursuers may not dare to come.
When everyone heard the words, they did not object and galloped one after another. Except for Zhen Mi's poor riding skills and Nan Ye's horse riding skills, the others are not bad, and even Guo Jia can lead the horse to run.
Nanye's own guards originally had horses, and he captured more than 800 war horses from the deadmen to carry heavy grain and grass. The two add up to nearly a thousand war horses, and the movement of these thousand horses is not small. Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who chased Nan Ye behind, saw the dust and smoke in front of them at a glance.
In order to catch up with Nanye, Yan and Wen Er will eat and sleep immediately in the past few days. The second generals and his subordinates have all lost a circle of weight in order to catch up with Nanye as soon as possible. Now I finally saw Nan Ye's tail, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou's eyes were red, leading 10,000 cavalry to chase them.
Nan Ye fled to the mountain pass, and further on, there was a flat plain area. At this time, Nan Ye suddenly realized a question, that is, will the pursuers behind him really not pursue into the boundary of Youzhou?
In ancient times, the boundaries were mostly divided by mountains and rivers, with mountains and rivers as boundary marks. Strong cities and dangerous customs are often set up at these landmarks for defense. However, a state has a vast area, and it is impossible to set up passes at all borders. After the mountain pass in front of him, there was no barrier city defense, that is to say, Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses would not help Nan Ye intercept the pursuers. If those pursuers were not stopped, they would not stop automatically because they entered the territory of Youzhou.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Nan Ye couldn't help riding to Guo Jia and complaining, "How on earth does Fengxiao lead the way? Why is there no pass ahead to help me intercept the pursuers?
Guo Jia turned his head and smiled, "How did the mage know that there was no one to help?"
Nan Ye was stunned when he heard the words. Before he could cast his skills to see a clue, he heard the drums on both sides of the mountain pass. Nan Ye looked up and saw banners flying halfway up the mountain, all under the banner of Gongsun Zan.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are single-minded to chase Nan Ye. How can they guard against an ambush here? Before they had time to stop their horses, they began to shoot arrows up the mountain. After a rain of arrows, thousands of cavalry were shot off their horses, and people shouted that the horses were in a mess.
The 10,000 cavalry led by Yan and Wen Er were almost all Yuan Shao's cavalry, and they did not dare to bury these horses here. As soon as they saw the banners of the ambush soldiers and Gongsun Zan on the mountain, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the soldiers to turn around and run away. It's not that they are timid. They really don't dare to gamble. They have been chasing Nanye day and night for several days. If they only deal with Nanye's 100 relatives, Yan Liang and Wen Chou still have the confidence to win with many people, but in the face of Gongsun Zan's ambush all over the mountains, they are not confident at all. How can 10,000 exhausted soldiers defeat Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong?
As soon as Nan Ye saw that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were going to run away from Coke, he did not expect that Gongsun Zan would ambush to meet him here, and hurriedly ordered the three generals Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and Taishi Ci to lead the personal guards to take advantage of the victory. The situation just now has completely reversed, and 10,000 people chasing 100 people has become 100 people chasing 10,000 people.
Tai Shici has never fought such a happy battle. He saw that Dian Wei and Zhou Cang's four halberd flipped and cut down countless enemy soldiers, and he also took a long gun and took off his two-handed halberd and killed them left and right. The three six halberds rushed into the back of Yan Liang and Wen Chou like a tiger entering the sheep.
The 100 mage's personal guard saw that the morale of the three masters increased so bravely that he followed the three to kill together, and more than a thousand cavalry fell in a blink of an eye. It was not until they drove Yan Liang and Wenchou out a few miles away that the three generals took back their troops. Along the way, he collected the war horses and got more than a thousand horses.
At this time, all the ambushes on the mountain have gone down the mountain, and the two generals leading the left and right hillsides are not others. One is Zhang Yan, and the other is Du Chang, the head of Youzhou. Du Chang is also Zhang Yan's old subordinate like Sun Qing and Wang Dang.
Nan Ye was surprised to see these two people and said, "Why do Feiyan and Du Dartou have the banner of Gongsun Bogui?"
Zhang Yan marched forward and said, "Everything is arranged by Mr. Feng Xiao. The mage did not intend to evacuate the Youzhou Dart Bureau, so Mr. Feng Xiao ordered me to go to Youzhou to gather Du Chang to gather the Dart Master and make a flag to ambush here.
Nan Ye suddenly realized when he heard the words. Since he was about to turn against Yuan Shao, he deliberately withdrew the Youzhou Dart Bureau, because he knew that the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan ended with Yuan Shao's victory. If you don't leave at this time, Yuan Shao will occupy Youzhou in the future, and it will be difficult for the Dart Bureau to withdraw again. Besides, at this time, the business road in Youzhou had been blocked by Yuan Shao, and even if the darts bureau stayed in Youzhou, it would not have much effect.
However, Nan Ye never thought that Guo Jia would use this strange soldier to intercept the pursuers. In this way, the ambush soldiers of Kouyi and the pursuers of Yan Liang and Wen Chou were all included in Guo Jia's calculation. This time, Nanye has seen the power of top counselors.
Nan Ye asked Du Chang, "Du Dart head, how many bodyguards are there here?"
Du Chang arched his hand and said, "I reported to the mage that there were more than 3,000 bodyguards in Youzhou. Later, because Yuan Shao expelled Ji and Erzhou Dart Master, some Dart Masters threw himself into Youzhou, where there were 5,000 Dart Masters and more than 3,000 horses.
Nan Ye knows that Youzhou produces horses, and Youzhou Dart Bureau has also been selling strategic materials such as war horses to Jiaozhou. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are many horses under Du Chang's command, but these horses are not all war horses, and some are horses carried by arable land. Nan Ye roughly calculated that these more than 3,000 horses, together with more than 800 horses and more than 1,000 war horses just captured, are exactly 5,000. If the 5,000 darts in front of us is one by one, it will be 5,000 cavalry, which is also a strong army.
Nan Ye asked Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao intends to gather people here, but he intends to kill him back to Jizhou?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Although there are many soldiers and horses at present, it is not enough to compete with Yuan Benchu."
Zhang Yanqi said, "If we don't go south to Hebei and the two states, how can we return to Jiaozhou?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "The world is everywhere, north and west. Could it be that we can only go south?"
Du Chang said, "Mr. Fengxiao laughed. Youzhou faces the sea in the east, Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, and the Xiongnu in the west. Where is the way to go?
Tai Shici suddenly said, "Does Mr. Fengxiao mean that he is a Xiongnu who traveled to the west and then returned to the south?"
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Ziyi is worthy of * talent, and his understanding is really extraordinary."
Du Chang said, "I often hear that the land of the Xiongnu is a wild land that is uninhabited for thousands of miles. It is easy to plunder, and this trip may be far more dangerous than Jizhou to the south."
Nan Ye smiled and said, "The ears are empty, and I often hear people say that Jiaozhou is barren. What do you think?"
Everyone laughed when they heard Nan Ye's words, and Du Chang lowered his head with some shame. Guo Jia said, "It is true that the Xiongnu has a wide range of people. It is also true that he has sent troops and looted many times, but they were all defeated by Cao Mengde, and now they are not in the Xiongnu."
Nan Ye has always been very concerned about the information from all over the world, and has never relaxed his vigilance against the northern nomads such as the Xiongnu and Xianbei who participated in the chaos. What Guo Jia said is true that the current Xiongnu Shanyu Fuluo is indeed not in the Xiongnu, and there is still a source for this matter.
Yuluo was the son of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu Luan Tiqiangqu. When Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju rebelled, Emperor Ling transferred troops to the Xiongnu, and Yu Fluo, as the commander, sent troops to help the Han Dynasty. Because the Southern Xiongnu repeatedly sent troops to help the Han Dynasty cause domestic dissatisfaction, the Xiongnu were afraid of continuing to recruit troops, so a rebellion broke out in the second year of Fuluo's dispatch of troops, killing Shanyu Qiangqu and establishing Xuguduhou as the new Shanyu.
Yu Fuluo went to Beijing to see Emperor Ling and asked to send troops to help restore the country, but Emperor Ling was critically ill, and this matter was delayed. Since then, Yu Fuluo has teamed up with the Yellow Turban Yu Party to attack Taiyuan, Hedong and other places to plunder for a living. He also planned to return to his own country, but was rejected by the Chinese and did not get the permission of the Han court, so he had to stay in Hedong.
A year later, the Marquis of Xubugu died of illness, and the Southern Xiongnu was vacant and the old king acted as the state government. Yuvluo has never returned to the Xiongnu and kept plundering in the Central Plains. After his power continued to weaken, he was comparable to Yu Du, Bai Wei and others. Later, he was defeated by Cao Cao.
After listening to Guo Jia's story, everyone knew that the Huns were just a masterless place at this time, and even if they passed by, there would be no army to stop them. Five thousand horses are enough to run rampant with the Huns, and now those who are short of are only enough to feed.
Nan Ye asked Guo Jia, "I have a lot of people. Where should I supply if I want to go west to the land of the Xiongnu?"
Guo Jia laughed and said, "The two heads of Gu Yi and Zhou Ang are enough to exchange grain and fodder with Gongsun Bogui. If it's not enough, I'll just eat the Xiongnu.
Dian Wei laughed and said, "Mr. Feng Xiao is happy with this plan! Then Yuvluo plundered my Han land, and we will plunder the Xiongnu this time.
