【Chapter 745】 Murder with a knife

Whoosh swish swish swish!

"Bang bang bang———!"

Looking at the rain of scattered arrows in front of him and the chariots collided, Yuan Shao frowned, his face full of sinister expression, and a little worry was revealed in his eyes from time to time.

In his plan, he had high hopes for the chariot formation, hoping to break through the infantry defense in front of the Xiliang army with more than a thousand chariots, and then attack the Xiliang Central Army combat cavalry, and finally achieve the strategic goal of forcing the Xiliang combat cavalry to take the lead in fighting.

If this is true, it would be a pity that even if more than a thousand chariot formations were all gone without returning, because as long as the Xiliang Central Army cavalry was forced to attack, Yuan Shao's entire plan would be successful, and he was sure to win.

But the situation in front of him was beyond his expectations, which surprised Yuan Shao. He was deeply surprised and caught him off guard. In the dark, he felt that this battle was probably not as easy as he expected. If he wanted to achieve his planned strategic goal, relying on the chariot array alone might not be enough, and he would have to pay a greater price.

"Lord, our army's chariot formation is almost impossible to withstand. Please make a quick decision. The battlefield fighting has changed rapidly and you can't hesitate!"

Seeing that more than 1,000 chariots and 6,000 heavily armored soldiers on his side could not resist the 500 chariot formation of the Xiliang Army, Xu You's eyes twitched, his eyes were very melancholy and worried. Immediately, he asked Yuan Shao in a low voice to ask whether to send the chariot formation to attack again, otherwise the chariot formation would be in danger of being wiped out by the entire army.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Xu You after hearing the sound, his eyes were very bad, full of reproach and anger. Then, he turned around and looked at the battle in front of the formation and waved his hand gently. When Xu You saw that his face turned slightly red, he nodded quickly to understand and said nothing more.

"How is Fengxian's injury? Can you still fight?" After waving Xu You with his hand, Yuan Shao turned his head and asked softly to Lu Bu on the right side next to him. Although his tone of speaking was gentle, it was soft and hard, and he was quite excited. He was not as polite to Lu Bu as before.

Obviously, after the battle between Lu Bu and Huan Fei, it invisibly affected the mentality of the Allied princes and generals towards Lu Bu. To be precise, Lu Bu was defeated in Huan Fei's hands in front of everyone, and the halo of "undefeated war god" and "the world's number one war general" that had been worn on his head changed hands on the spot. This was tantamount to a glorious person. From a god of war to an ordinary person, the Allied princes and generals who witnessed this battle with their own eyes quietly eliminated their fear of him, and finally could look at him with a normal heart, and even felt very shameful about his character and character in his heart, and secretly despised him.

This is not because the princes and generals are too snobbish, first respectful and then humble, and are capricious. But this is the reality.

If Lu Bu is compared to the superstar of this era, then Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other princes are equivalent to "Wars" who are neither popular nor purple and have extraordinary backgrounds. They are polite to him everywhere due to Lu Bu's huge reputation and terrifying strength. However, now that all the halos on Lu Bu's head have been removed, their reputation has been destroyed for half a lifetime and they have been completely defeated. After they are completely defeated, all the princes will no longer give in to him. At this moment, it is rare for all the princes to take the opportunity to mock him, but the previous glory no longer exists, and they will no longer look up to him like before, and can completely face him. Some princes will even look down on him condescendingly, and there will be no more fear in their hearts.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why people in the world want to become famous. This is how the so-called famous scholars, famous generals and tiger generals come from this. They also fall from the altar. People who make famous can easily gain fame and fortune that others will never get in their entire lives. However, when one day they are ruined, everything they have easily obtained will gradually leave him, and they will even die in the battlefield or mansion, and will not have a good end.

This is the reality. Not only are people from later generations like this, but also the same is true for predecessors. Because, both predecessors and descendants have one thing in common, that is, everyone is human. The times will change, and the way of thinking will change. Even the skin color and race may change, but human nature is eternal????

"Thank you for your concern to the leader. Lu is not in trouble, so he can fight."

Hearing Yuan Shao's inquiry, Lu Bu's expression changed slightly when he heard the sound, and then he frowned and pondered, and remained silent. After a while, he finally replied, but his words sounded kind, but his tone was very stiff. He did not turn his head to look at Yuan Shao, as if he was talking to himself without looking at him.

Obviously, although Lu Bu is not an extremely intelligent and wise person, he is not stupid, and he can tell at first glance. At this time, he also felt the change in mentality of various princes, which made him very angry, but the situation is stronger than that of others, and the facts are there, so what if it is done?

This is the first time Lu Bu has paid attention to other people's attitude towards him in recent years. He has never seen it before, because he had no need to pay attention to other people's attitudes at that time, and he did not need to look at other people's expressions. But once and for a while, he is inexplicably concerned about other people's attitudes towards him now. It seems that the fierce battle just now made him suddenly become narrow-minded, and he is particularly sensitive to the eyes and expressions of others looking at him, and he is prone to anger and angry.

"It's good that Fengxian is healthy. You are the chief general of our Allied cavalry, a flag of my 400,000 Allied soldiers. This time, I broke through the enemy formation, and relying on Fengxian's power. Hahaha!" Looking at Lu Bu's gloomy and stiff side face, a hint of anger flashed through Yuan Shao's eyes, but he was still smiling when he spoke, and he was filled with joy and anger.

"What does the leader mean? Please make it clear?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao in a daze, pretending to be a calm expression, and asked in a low voice.

Yuan Shao smiled slightly and said concisely: "Nothing else. After the battle of the chariot formation is over, Fengxian will lead the cavalry to rush. At that time, Fengxian must break through the central army formation where Li thieves are located and seize the initiative for our allies. If this can be done, Fengxian will be the first contribution of this battle. After this battle, you will be allowed to choose the two counties among the counties in the Sili County; otherwise, the situation of the battle will be very unfavorable to our allies. It is important to be important, Fengxian must do his best to get rid of the shame of defeat. Do Fengxian have any objections to this?"

"Oh?" Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly flashed with an unconcealed look of anger. His eyes were gloomy and cold, and there was a faint murderous aura. Fortunately, he did not lose his mind and forced himself to calm down after forcing himself to calm down.

"If Lu remembers correctly, according to the original strategy, the chariot formation should be followed by infantry attacks, and the cavalry finally rushed forward? I wonder why the leader of the alliance made a temporary decision to change the original tactics? Lu was very puzzled by this, so he asked the leader of the alliance to give him advice."

"Huh? Hehehe!" Yuan Shao's expression was slightly stunned, and a look of anger appeared on his face in an instant. After a flash of death, he smiled calmly: "Fengxian was not wrong. Originally, the war cavalry was indeed the last to rush to the formation, but that was only arranged in the case of the chariot formation breaking through the Li Zhezhong Army. The situation in front of him was not optimistic. Our chariot formation was unable to defeat the enemy and was at risk of overturning at any time, which was inconsistent with our previous plans.

Fengxian was a general on the battlefield, so he naturally understood the principle that the army was inconsistent and the water was inconsistent. The battlefield changed rapidly, so the dispatch of troops also needed to change accordingly. If it remained unchanged, it would drag down the entire allied army and put our army in an extremely passive danger. As the leader of the alliance, how could Yuan stick to the rules and not know how to adapt, so as to mislead himself and his army?

Therefore, the mission that the chariot formation has not been completed will be completed by the combat cavalry. We must tear the central defense line of the Western Liang army, lay a solid foundation for our entire army to attack, and then defeat Li Jie and the Western Liang army in one fell swoop. In this way, Fengxian can understand, and what other objections should he say together?"

"Well, so that's it." Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at Zhang Yan beside him, and said in a harmonious voice: "I believe General Zhang Yan has heard what the leader said, but I wonder what General Zhang wants?"

"General Fengxian can decide to take over, and Zhang has no objection." Zhang Yan smiled indifferently when he heard this and said perfunctorily.

Lu Bu was slightly surprised when he heard this. At this time, Yuan Shao suddenly interrupted: "General Zhang Yan is too modest. The general is the chief general of the left-wing cavalry. He holds 20,000 combat cavalry and is the mainstay of our Allied forces. How can he underestimate himself? If General Zhang has any ideas, he might as well speak directly to avoid delaying the opportunity to fight."

Zhang Yan was not angry at all after hearing the sound, and still had a smile on his face, and said with a laugh: "Since the leader of the alliance asked, Zhang was blunt. Forgive me, I would ask for a bold question. Our Allied cavalry is only 50,000, and it is a temporary mixed cavalry recruited, while the Western Liang Iron Cavalry is three times that of me. The gap between the two sides is so huge, why should the leader order the cavalry to attack first?

Facing the brave and good at fighting Xiliang cavalry, my 50,000 cavalry is no match for the Xiliang army at all. Isn’t this a counter-attack to the Li thief’s Central Army repeating the mistakes of the chariot formation, and never returning?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao's face finally changed, and his expression suddenly became gloomy. His eyes looked at Zhang Yan were extremely unkind. But Zhang Yan was not afraid, and ignored Yuan Shao's cold eyes, with a smile on his face. His smiling expression was faintly provocative.

Indeed, Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao have always been at odds, which is no longer a secret among the Allied forces, and it was already manifested as early as the beginning of the alliance. After all, just before this alliance, Yuan Shao led troops to suppress the bandits of Heishan. Zhang Niujiao, Yu Du and other leaders died one after another at the hands of the Jizhou army, but in fact they died at the hands of Yuan Shao. The two sides fought for several years, with deep resentment and many contradictions, which seemed to be a situation of inconsistent force. It is by no means possible for an allies to resolve the grudges accumulated between them for many years.

In addition, 15,000 of the 20,000 cavalry on the left wing of the Allied forces were all Zhang Yan's headquarters, accounting for almost 80% of the right wing cavalry.

Among the five thousand Heishan cavalry, there is also a complete light cavalry with a population of not too many, not too many as 10,000. This is Zhang Yan's direct cavalry - Feiyan Light Cavalry; the remaining five thousand cavalry are also brave men selected from tens of thousands of Heishan troops. Therefore, these Heishan cavalry are the elite troops with the strongest combat effectiveness under Zhang Yan.
