Chapter 93 The arrogant Yuan Shao!
While Xing Daorong was leading his troops to rush to Chang'an, Ji Hao had also led his army to Luoyang.
The troops he assembled were the largest in his history: in addition to the 20,000 Chengtian troops who were already guarding Chengtian Ferry, he also brought the expanded Haotian Army, which had reached 20,000 troops, and the Datong Army, which had assembled the elite troops from three states and had reached 40,000 troops.
A total of 80,000 soldiers and horses.
All of them wore light steel armor, used fine steel weapons, were equipped with at least two horses, and a backpack of compressed cans.
In extreme cases, it can travel hundreds of miles a day.
It can maintain its combat effectiveness even in a harsh environment without food support for dozens of days!
"Strategically, we must despise the enemy. No matter how strong Yuan Shao is, he is just a paper tiger. We must be determined to win." Ji Hao said, "But tactically, I must also take him seriously - this is the strongest enemy we have encountered since our debut. With a million soldiers alone, he is completely different from any previous enemy!"
Ji Hao said while standing on the high platform.
And below, although Lu Bu was sitting in the position of an ally, he looked very much like one of his generals.
Because I really don’t know what to say.
Although Lu Bu was not stupid when leading troops to fight, and was adept at using various military tactics, he knew nothing about strategy and had no idea how to fight Yuan Shao.
Therefore, the task of making plans could only be left to Ji Hao.
The same thing happened when we formed an alliance with Liu Bei before.
"Yes! A million troops, the army of Qin Shihuang against the six kingdoms, and the Chu-Han contention, did not have such a large battle!" Lu Bu said, looking at Ji Hao, asking: "How are you going to fight this battle?"
In recent years, he has recruited soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, occupied half of Luoyang, and controlled the land trade routes outside Chengtiandu.
Earned a lot of money.
With 100,000 elite soldiers trained and fully equipped, we can be considered to have a strong army.
But together with Ji Hao, there are only 180,000 soldiers and horses. If Yuan Shao concentrates his forces to attack Luoyang, the pressure will definitely be extremely great. If Ji Hao had not previously had a record of defeating 300,000 with 300,000, he didn't think the two sides would have a chance of fighting.
An army of millions!
How many people can he kill if he stands there and lets him kill them?
"The best way is to fight the generals. This is our strength and their weakness!" Ji Hao said, "But Yuan Shao is not stupid and will not humiliate himself. Therefore, the key is to use people he dislikes and kill his generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou before he can react!"
Is Yuan Shao weak?
Not weak!
Even though Yan Liang and Wen Chou did not even struggle when they were killed by Guan Yu, just like Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong had no record of fighting against top generals, while the two of them had fought against Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and a group of generals from Cao's camp.
If Guan Yu hadn't suddenly exploded, even if the two of them couldn't defeat Cao Cao, Yuan Shao wouldn't have fallen so quickly.
Therefore, if you want to defeat Yuan Shao, you must kill these two first.
But Yuan Shao was not stupid. He knew that there were Lu, Zhao, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Ma Xian and Zhang Fei on the opposite side, and there was also an invincible Ji Hao. Would he fight against the generals?
Totally impossible.
At least, Ji Hao, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun are not allowed to fight.
"It's difficult. The strength of a general is not fixed. It depends on mentality, morale, physical strength, and many other aspects!" Lu Bu said: "Yuan Shao's morale is high now. Yan Liang and Wen Chou's mentality must have reached its peak and their combat power must have been fully exerted. Even if I were to go on the field, I would not be able to guarantee that I would be able to kill them both. It would be even more difficult for others."
He didn't mention Ji Hao.
If he and Zhao Yun still have a chance to fight against the two, then Ji Hao has no chance at all.
Unless Yuan Shao got kicked in the head by a donkey, then pinched by a door panel, and finally had some water poured into his body, causing his intelligence to drop three times in a row, it would be impossible for him to send someone to compete with Ji Hao in martial arts on the battlefield!
After the battle against Yuan Shu, where he fought ten thousand enemies alone, no one in this world believed that Ji Hao could be defeated by the forces of one or two people.
Only a peerless warrior could possibly break his "Haotian Armor".
Not top-notch, he can't even beat his mount!
"We have to kill the most powerful generals to have a chance of killing them. Guan Yu has to make the final move, or Han Sheng has to return to his peak!" Zhao Yun also spoke up and said, "But even so, if they see the situation is not good, they will turn around and flee. Unless we can kill them in one round and don't give them a chance to escape!" At this point, he couldn't help but shook his head.
too difficult.
"It's difficult. In the previous battle of Xiliang, Guan Yu fought with these two many times. Even in the final battle, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao teamed up and fought three against two, but they only defeated them but failed to kill them. When the army behind them attacked, they had no choice but to flee!" said Lu Bu.
This made Ji Hao stunned.
Can Guan Yu no longer kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou?
But if you think about it, it's possible.
The premise for Guan Yu to kill the two was that at that time he only had the record of killing Hua Xiong with warm wine, and it took the three brothers working together to barely defeat Lu Bu. Would Yan Liang and Wen Chou look at him straight in the eye?
In addition, Liu Bei was under Yuan Shao's command and was not well prepared, so due to various coincidences, he was killed in one fell swoop.
Will it still happen now?
Not anymore.
As the sworn brother of the current emperor's uncle "Kaoshan King" and the number one general in Kaoshan King's hands, Guan Yu's current status and reputation are no worse than the other two.
When fighting, the two would be very cautious and not give each other any chance.
"If they let down their guard and become contemptuous, I can burst out with short-term strength and kill them both!" Huang Zhong said.
Now he has become a regular employee.
In the battle against Sun Jian, although he followed orders and released the water, he burned 70,000 soldiers of Sun Jian with a fire.
They suffered almost no casualties and managed to hold the defense line.
It has already been recognized by all the soldiers in Jiying.
But outside, he only lost to Huang Gai and could not kill Sun Jian, and had all kinds of bad reputations. Nowadays, there is still controversy as to whether he is the "Huang" in "Huang Xu Sun Tai".
If he behaved a little more mediocrely, he might have a chance to suddenly explode and kill those two people.
"We can try!" Guo Jia said, looking at Ji Hao, "My lord, the move you made, Xing Daorong, can be used. But no matter how we play it, it's best to meet Yuan Shao first and find out his situation before making a decision!"
Hearing this, Ji Hao nodded.
Who really decides the outcome of this battle?
Not the general, but Guo Jia.
After he formed an alliance with Lu Bu, he appointed Guo Jia as the "military advisor of the coalition forces" and put him in charge of all military affairs.
Ji Hao felt at ease with him around.
"Report, Yuan Shao sent someone to invite the lord to meet at the northern ferry of Chengtiandu!" Just then, a messenger came in and handed Ji Hao an invitation letter.
This was exactly what Ji Hao wanted, so he immediately led everyone to Beidukou.
The so-called "Beidukou" is actually a city gate tower.
It is the defense line of Chengtiandu on the north bank of the Yellow River. It has a ten-zhang-high wall. When there is no war, it is the only choice for crossing the Yellow River as an important route for trade between the north and the south.
Therefore, the city gate was called "ferry".
At this time, Yuan Shao had already set up camp below and arrived at the city gate in a chariot carved with dragons and phoenixes.
Looking up from the bottom, it reveals a condescending attitude.
After seeing Ji Hao, he immediately said: "I have already gained half of the world. No one in this world can be my opponent. Ji Hao, I think you are a talented person. If you surrender early, you can avoid death!"
At this moment, he was full of vigor and ambition, and he was invincible.
There is a kind of momentum that looks down on the world.
However, after seeing this, Guo Jia laughed and said to Ji Hao: "With a million troops in hand, Yuan Shao has already lost his composure. It is actually easier to deal with him!"
