The Youzhou army escorted the Emperor's carriage and the officials' carriages. After using an S-grade item, Army Marching Strategy, they sped up north.
Two hours later, on the south bank of the Yellow River, a Cao army came from the east. The main general's banner was' Li 'and the deputy general was' Le '. They were the two generals under Cao Cao, Li Dian and Le Jin.
When they reached the Mengjin Ferry, Le Jin saw the Sizhou army camp that had not yet been erected. He frowned and said, "Has the Sizhou army been defeated? Why is the camp so broken? "
Li Dian observed carefully and said, "To build a camp, the materials here are not enough. I suspect that this is Zhong Sizhou's plan to make the Youzhou army think that they have nothing to worry about and cross the river. "
Le Jin was energized, "Then the battlefield should be on the north bank. Our army should quickly cross the river to help!"
The two generals led five thousand Cao troops and crossed the Yellow River.
However, when they reached the north bank, they could only see corpses strewn across the battlefield. Where was the Youzhou army?
Li Dian looked up and saw a banner with the word 'Zhong' not far away, gathering the remaining soldiers.
When the two sides came into contact, Li Dian shouted, "Could it be Zhong Sizhou?"
The defeated soldiers on the other side had already rushed over to agree. Soon, the two sides met.
Li Dian and Le Jin asked Zhong Yao, "Where did the enemy go?"
Zhong Yao said, "They went to Bingzhou at an extremely fast speed. You won't be able to catch up. If you had come two hours earlier, you could have made it in time for the battle. "
Le Jin said, "After we received the prime minister's orders, we quickly traveled two hundred li without any delay."
Zhong Yao sighed, "This is the will of the heavens. For Yuan Benchu to have such a son, it is truly an anomaly. "
Li Dian and Le Jin continued their pursuit towards the north.
Zhong Yao dissuaded them, "Even a desperate enemy would not be pursued, much less a victorious army. Yuan Xi also has the qualities of a famous general and the ability to observe the situation. If you were ambushed by him, your thousands of tired soldiers would probably be wiped out. "
Li Dian said, "We were unable to stop Yuan Xi. How can we explain this to the prime minister?"
Zhong Yao sighed, "In the prime minister's eyes, your sins are smaller. I should be the one to bear the main responsibility. If the prime minister is angry and wants to punish me, I will naturally be the one to blame. However, I have already done my best and have a clear conscience. "
…
Bai Xiaowen, Qiao Rui, Cecilia, and Han Xu were still discussing the battle of crossing the river while marching.
"Don't underestimate the native generals of the Three Kingdoms. Their ability to learn and adapt is too strong. I didn't even get to enjoy my deterrence for a few rounds before they found a way to break it. The Youzhou army suffered heavy casualties in this battle. Our initial estimate is that they lost more than two thousand men, "Bai Xiaowen said.
"You mean the drum? It was indeed the nemesis of continuous casting skills. Fortunately, my soul rhythm was temporarily interrupted, so it didn't matter too much, "Qiao Rui said." Do you think something like the Drum of Darkness appeared by chance, or is it a regular item in the enemy's camp? "
"I'm not sure. But since Zhong Yao has one, I'm sure he'll have one when he faces other famous generals in the future. Even if we don't have the flute drum, we still have other means. After all, this is a Three Kingdoms plane with supernatural abilities, not a novel. "
Bai Xiaowen said with some regret. "Zhong Yao never showed himself. He only came out to gather the defeated soldiers after we left. He's really cunning. I wanted to catch him by surprise, but I decided against it. I can't be reckless. "
Then, Bai Xiaowen looked at Han Xu and said, "Old Han, you're amazing. You became famous in one battle. I even overheard the Emperor praising you. "
Han Xu blushed slightly. Fortunately, his skin was slightly tanned so it was not obvious.
"With this achievement, I can naturally promote Old Han to be a general. Previously, Shuyi was the first to reach the top of the city wall in the Battle of Xudu. According to the promise, she would be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be promoted by three levels. She could also be promoted to a general quickly. Cecilia is the commander of a special troop of winged cavalry. Her promotion speed will not be slow either. Only Sister Qiao can't show her talent. She can only be promoted slowly. After settling down this time, she'll be promoted by one level first, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Since the goal of this invasion of the Three Kingdoms was to unify the three kingdoms, Bai Xiaowen wanted his teammates to perform well and obtain more war contributions.
Then, it would be more convenient to have a more prominent military position.
Qiao Rui smiled and said, "I don't need a high official position. I can perform better as a deputy general."
When Bai Xiaowen said that Qiao Rui "can't show his talent", he meant that he was not as eye-catching as Han Xu and Li Shuyi in the eyes of the people of the Spirit Realm. In fact, as the support of a large army, Qiao Rui's war contributions would definitely not be low. In fact, his contributions were even higher than Han Xu's.
The Youzhou army advanced until noon and had already reached Bing Province.
As the high morale gradually decreased, the Youzhou army, who had not rested for two days and one night, became tired. Currently, only the winged cavalry was still capable of fighting.
However, they were now in Bing Province and had already reached the territory of an ally. Naturally, they did not have to worry about encountering a big battle.
Suddenly, the sound of drums sounded in front of them, and the army got into formation. The leading general said loudly, "Who are you?"
Bai Xiaowen already knew about these people and immediately replied, "Youzhou Provincial Governor Yuan Xi, Xu Du escorting the emperor's carriage and passing by here. You are a general under my cousin, Gao Gan, right? Quickly come and greet the emperor. Also, send someone to inform my cousin. "
A Youzhou lieutenant carried Bai Xiaowen's Youzhou Provincial Governor seal and handed it over to the other party for inspection.
After that general inspected it, he hurriedly got off his horse and bowed to the side, "This general Guo Yuan greets Your Majesty and Second Young Master. I heard that Second Young Master attacked Xu Du and issued an order to punish the traitor, shocking the world. It is truly fortunate to see you today! "
Bai Xiaowen escorted the emperor's carriage forward. After Guo Yuan paid his respects, he started to talk with Bai Xiaowen.
After this conversation, Bai Xiaowen found out that Guo Yuan was actually Zhong Yao's nephew. It was just that they belonged to different factions.
This was also normal. Just like the Yingchuan Xun Family, Xun Yu and Xun You supported Cao Cao, while Xun Chen supported Yuan Shao. With all sides placing bets, no matter who won or lost, the Xun Family would be able to prosper.
Speaking of which, Xun Chen was quite amazing. He had once persuaded the original Jizhou Provincial Governor Han Fu to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Only then did Yuan Shao have his first base.
Xun Chen was Yuan Shao's strategist, and his position was similar to Xun Yu's in Cao Cao's camp.
However, as their territory grew bigger and bigger, Yuan Shao's weakness of being able to gather people but not use people became more and more obvious. Xun Chen probably saw through Yuan Shao's weakness and did not plan during the Battle of Guandu. Instead, he went into hiding. After the Battle of Guandu, Xun Chen's whereabouts were unknown.
After Guo Yuan paid his respects, he led the Youzhou army to rest at the Hukou Pass that he was guarding.
When Bai Xiaowen saw that the soldiers under him were exhausted and that the emperor and officials were unable to move forward, he agreed to rest in Bing Prefecture.
However, Bai Xiaowen secretly sent Cecilia, Qiao Rui, and Han Xu to lead the winged cavalry and rush to Jizhou Ye City!
