Chapter 153 The Battle Begins

When Huang Wudie heard this, she felt ashamed and said angrily: "Who is waiting for you! It's best if you don't come!"

Ailang said: "This is what you said, then I'll leave." As he said that, he deliberately stepped on his feet and made a sound of walking.

Huang Wudie was shocked and quickly pulled off the red veil and shouted, "You dare!" Then, I saw Ailang standing not far away and looking at him with a smile. In a daze, he immediately realized that he had been fooled by the other party. In shame, he grabbed the red pillow on the bed and threw it at Ailang. Ailang caught the pillow and laughed, "This is throwing a hydrangea! We are all going to bridal chambers, this is simply an unnecessary move!" Huang Wudie said angrily with a red face: "You are so hateful!"

Ailang took the red pillow of the mandarin duck and walked to the edge of the bed, put down the pillow, and sat down. Huang Wudie suddenly became nervous and looked at Ailang with beautiful eyes.

Ailang got up and walked to the desk table, picked up a pot of fine wine that had been prepared for them, and poured wine into the middle of two gourd-like wine vessels. This gourd-like wine vessel is paired with pairs and made of a gourd in half. It is called a squat. It is generally not used. It is specially used between newlyweds, which is a special wine vessel for couples to drink wine with each other in ancient times.

Ailang picked up the two halves of gourd full of wine and returned to the edge of the bed, handed the half of the gourd to Huang Wudie. Huang Wudie held the gourd full of wine and looked at Ailang gently with beautiful eyes. Ailang smiled and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, we are husband and wife." Huang Wudie nodded gently, with excitement in her eyes, and she raised her head to drink the wine in the gourd. Her delicate face was steamed by the smell of wine, making her more delicate and charming, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be dripping.

As if the water was coming, Ailang smiled, and raised his head and drank the wine in the gourd. He put down the gourd and said with a smile: "Wu Die, it's time for us to rest!" Huang Wu Die only felt a heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Ailang. Ailang was excited when he saw that she, a heroic female hero, had become so shy. He hugged Huang Wu Die's shoulder and the two of them rolled on the bed.

...

Early the next morning, the sun's light came in through the window.

Papa! The door sounded a few lightly.

Ailang immediately woke up. He looked down and saw Huang Wudie sleeping heavily on his chest. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but there were faint tears at the corners of his eyes. Ailang couldn't help but think of the affection of last night, and couldn't help but feel his heart swaying, and murmured: "Those long legs are so fatal!"

Papa! The door sounded a few more times.

Ailang carefully took off his body from Huang Wudie's limbs, put on his clothes, covered Huang Wudie with a quilt, quickly turned the screen and went to the door to open the door. A young maid at the door hurriedly saluted: "I, I pay homage to my lord!"

Ailang made a ban gesture, walked out of the door, turned around and closed the door, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

The servant said, "Mr. Chen Gong is here. He said there is an emergency military situation. He is now waiting in the back hall."

Ailang immediately went to the back hall.

When he walked into the back hall, he saw Chen Gong and asked, "Business Station, what's the big deal?"

Chen Gong hurried forward to salute, then smiled and said, "I disturbed the general's dream. I deserve to die!"

Ailang waved his hand and said angrily: "Okay, okay! Don't talk about those useless things! What's going on?"

Chen Gong said: "Just received an urgent report, Liu Bei was defeated, and five other cities including Yangping were recovered by Cao Cao!" Ai Lang was shocked and said: "Just said that he was in a stalemate, why did Cao Cao defeat Liu Bei in an instant?"

Chen Gong said with emotion: "Cao Cao is really a great hero! After siege for many days, he deliberately pretended to be exhausted and stopped attacking, retreated more than ten miles to return to the camp. Liu Bei thought he had an opportunity, so he led his army to raid at night, but he was ambushed by Cao Cao and his entire army was wiped out, and Yang Ping followed him and lost it..."

Ailang hurriedly asked, "How is Liu Bei? Where is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"

Chen Gong shook his head, "Liu Bei and Zhang Fei are not clear about the situation, either killed, captured, or fled to Yuan Shao's territory. However, Guan Yu heard that he had surrendered Cao Cao. Now all five cities including Yangping have returned to Cao Cao."

When Ai Lang heard that Guan Yu surrendered, he couldn't help but think of the fact that Guan Yu and Cao Cao made three rules and then surrendered in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He couldn't help but ask: "Did Guan Yu make three rules and then surrender with his sister-in-law?" Chen Gong nodded and said: "That's true. It is said that Guan Yu surrendered to protect Liu Bei's wife and children. However, the specific situation is not yet clear."

Ai Lang slapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! Liu Bei was defeated, and the next thing was my father-in-law and Yuan Shao! Finally, nothing unexpected happened!" Then he asked in confusion: "Liu Bei has been holding on for so long, why didn't Yuan Shao support Liu Bei?"

Chen Gong smiled mockingly and said, "I heard that Mi Fang rushed to Yuan Shao for help. However, Yuan Shao was not interested in fighting because his youngest son was sick, so he did not send troops to support Liu Bei.

Ailang laughed and said, "He is such a good father!" Chen Gong couldn't help laughing, and then said seriously: "Although Yuan Shao is sometimes absurd, he is an absolute hero. When his child's disease is cured, he will take action immediately. I guess the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will break out early. We should be ready to take action." Ailang thought of the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and nodded, saying, "In this case, we will secretly transfer the army to Xia Pi and be ready to attack Qingzhou at any time." Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "General is wise!" Xia Pi is north of Xuzhou, the north bank of Wenshui, and a hundred miles north is Donghai County, the southernmost part of Qingzhou. Ailang and Chen Gong Jia Xu had already planned. As soon as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought, they immediately sent troops to capture Donghai County and then seize the entire Qingzhou.

However, it is not easy to seize Qingzhou. Yuan Shao is extremely powerful. Although most of his military power is concentrated on the borders of Luoyang and Yanzhou, in order to prevent it, Yuan Tan was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou to defend Qingzhou. The reason why Yuan Shao chose Yuan Tan, who had lost Luoyang before, was mainly because Yuan Tan made great contributions when he captured Qingzhou. It can be said that the entire Qingzhou was defeated by Yuan Tan, and his prestige in Qingzhou was unmatched, so it was most appropriate for him to take charge of Qingzhou. Although Yuan Shao's main force is no longer Qingzhou, the total number of troops in Qingzhou is still 150,000 or 60,000. It is very difficult for Ai Lang to seize Qingzhou with his 50,000 troops.

Just when Ailang secretly dispatched troops to Qingzhou, news about Cao Cao suddenly came. After Yuan Shao learned that Liu Bei was defeated, he was furious and ordered Yan Liang to be the former general and led a 100,000 army south to attack Yangping. Cao Cao led his army out of Yangping to confront Yan Liang. The battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao broke out earlier than Chen Gong expected.

Ai Lang immediately rushed to Xia Pi. The military advisors were Chen Gong, and the generals were Zang Ba, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Huang Wudie, etc.

Ailang led his army to Xia Pi. Yuan Tan had received urgent reports from the military that Lu Bu was trying to dispatch troops to attack Qingzhou. Yuan Tan ordered the general Jiang Yiqu to lead 50,000 troops to defend the East China Sea at Guo Tu's suggestion. He mobilized 80,000 troops and then rushed to Langya, preparing to detour westward by Lanling, and then when Lu Bu's army invaded the East China Sea, he launched a large army to raid Xia Pi. If this move could be successful, it would not only cut off the retreat of Lu Bu's army, but also seize Xia Pi in one fell swoop, and even attack Xuzhou. In fact, in terms of the comparison of the forces between the two sides, Ailang did not have any advantage, but was at a great disadvantage. It seemed that an attack was not a wise move.

Yuan Tan came to Langya and immediately discussed matters with Guo Tu, who came to Langya first.

"Sir, has Lu Bu done something?" Yuan Tan asked Guo Tu.

Guo Tu clasped his fists and said, "Just just received a scout report, Lu Bu personally led a 50,000 army out of Xia Pi and headed towards Donghai County. He would arrive at the city of Donghai in a few days. Everything was as expected, and Lu Bu had fallen into the trap!"

Yuan Tan showed excitement on his face, and then said sarcastically: "It is said that 'Lu Bu is among people, and red rabbit is among horses'. Who would have thought that he would be fooled so easily? It's really ridiculous!"

Guo Tu smiled and said, "It's really hard to be worthy of being famous. Although Lu Bu's reputation is very good, I think his real skills are very important. And Chen Gong. It is said that Chen Gong is extraordinary and has great wisdom and talent, but I don't think it's worth mentioning." Then he clasped his fists at Yuan Tan and said, "In this battle, under the leadership of the eldest son, we believe that we can not only defeat Lu Bu's plan, but also attack Xuzhou in one go. At that time, the lord will know that only the eldest son among the young masters is an extraordinary talent!"

Yuan Tan showed hope on his face, suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way. If you want to pass the order, you must not hurt Diao Chan. I want to capture Diao Chan alive and then offer it to my father." Guo Tu immediately praised, "The eldest son is so wise!"

At the same time, the army led by Cao Cao had already started a fierce battle with Yan Liang's army. Yan Liang was brave enough and was under his command. The army of Yuan Shao was in full swing for three battles. Although Cao Cao had a certain advantage in his troops, he could never gain any advantage.

At this time, Xun You suggested to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, Yan Liang's army is a brave and powerful. Facing a head-on battle is really a solution! It is better to divide one army into a crossing the river from the direction of the Baima to make a storm to the rear of Yan Liang's army! Yan Liang must be in a panic and divided his troops to respond. We will take this opportunity to attack comprehensively, and we can defeat Yan Liang's army in one fell swoop!" Cao Cao immediately adopted Xun You's suggestion and ordered General Li Dian to lead his army to cross the river from the Baima to make a storm to the situation behind Yan Liang's army.

Yan Liang was indeed deceived. He thought that Cao Cao mobilized elite troops to raid him behind him, so he immediately divided half of his troops to advance westward to intercept Cao's army who was crossing the river.

Just as Yan Liang was waiting for the Western war report, the sound of the earth-shaking war drums suddenly came from the front. Cao's army came out in full swing, and a hundred thousand troops approached Yan Liang's camp. Yan Liang was not willing to be outdone and immediately led his army out of the camp to fight. The two sides lined up the formation, and the sound of the war drums and the shouts of the soldiers on both sides, shaking the earth and mountains.
