After returning to familiar land and using familiar methods, Yuan Shujun suffered. At this time, he only left Guangling and Xiapi unattacked, and relied heavily on local supplies. As a result, Ge Zhaodu now destroyed this supply. , the direct result is that Yuan Shujun cannot obtain sufficient supplies.
It was not bad in 203, because the war broke out after the autumn harvest, so with this year's grain reserves, Yuan Shu's army could still sustain it.
But by the summer of 204, the grain reserves from last year and previous years had basically bottomed out, and Yuan Shu's army's front line began to show a trend of collapse.
At this time, Yuan Shu's army suffered. The front line was faced with the pressure of Yuan Shao's army, and the rear was harassed by Ge Zhao's old camp, which made their war situation unsustainable in the spring of 205. Yuan Shu was finally defeated and burned himself to death. A great warlord that once had the power to sweep the world declared its demise.
After the destruction of Yuan Shu's army, the next key target of Yuan Shao's army was Liu Biao's army. In the previous two years of war, Liu Biao's army had also lost the land along the north bank of the Yangtze River, leaving only the three cities of Xiangyang, Jiangling and Yong'an hanging on.
"The so-called darkest moment must be the midnight before dawn. Now it is time to sever the alliance with Yuan Shaojun and continue my career as Huang Tian!"
While Ge Zhaodu said this, he rejected Yuan Shaojun's ultimatum - the other party wanted his army to stop in the Central Plains, which was the last territory plundered by Yuan Shujun.
At the same time that Ge Zhaodu fell out, Han Suijun also changed his attitude towards Yuan Shaojun. During this period, Zhuge Liang took office early and then sent Han Suijun as an envoy on behalf of Liu Biaojun, successfully persuading them to join his alliance and march eastward from Hulao Pass to oppose Yuan Shaojun.
Even Gongsun Zan's army, which was driven to Xiangping, felt that it was profitable at this time, and after some hesitation, they also joined the alliance against Yuan Shao's army.
"Okay, so now the situation has changed from Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu competing for hegemony to one superpower with multiple powers. Gongsun Zan, Han Sui, Liu Biao and I, the four great princes, will attack Yuan Shao together. The reason is that the Qing emperor is attacking Yuan Shao."
Criticizing King Ge Zhao Ge's "boasting" has always been the favorite behavior of barrage, so this is a line: "Han Sui and Liu Biao are indeed the main force, King Ge and Gongsun Zan are both included, right?"
A few days later, the sixth episode of "Ge Zhaogong Creates Huangtian Again" was released. After Ge Zhaodu briefly reviewed the previous episode's joint attack on Yuan Shao, he began to enter the content of this episode.
It can only be said that Yuan Shao is worthy of being a great warlord who occupies Hebei and the Central Plains. He has the basic foundation of Liu Xiu's struggle for the world in history. Therefore, he is still able to fight vigorously when facing four sieges at the same time.
The first to be unlucky was Gongsun Zan's army. His home base of Xiangping was quickly captured, and he could only lead his troops to fight guerrillas in the surrounding towns near Xiangping.
But Gongsun Zan's army did not completely withdraw from the game of power, because after solving the main problems on the northern front, Yuan Shao's army had to send the main force to the south where the pressure was greater, so that Gongsun Zan's army could survive in this way and continue to bring Yuan Shao trouble.
The next unlucky one was Han Sui's army who was closest to Yuan Shao's base. At first, Han Sui's army could rely on surprise and quickly captured Chenliu and Xuchang after leaving Hulao Guandong. However, when Yuan Shao's army reacted, he sent the main force to the local area to fight with Han Sui's army. After the battle, the opponent was unable to hold on and retreated steadily.
Cities such as Chenliu and Xuchang, which were captured not long ago, fell quickly. After breaking through Hulao Pass, they began to compete repeatedly around Luoyang, and even often threatened Hangu Pass further west.
As for Liu Biao on the southern front, he fought the most brilliantly, because Han Sui's army had attracted Yuan Shao's most elite troops, and Liu Biao's army had lost all the cities on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Relying on the existence of his Yangtze River fleet, he successfully protected his base without losing , and could repeatedly cross the river to attack areas controlled by Yuan Shao, and restrained many of Yuan Shao's troops.
To this, the audience can only say: "Snap up the barrage and call Yuan Shao awesome!"
So when the three families attacked Yuan Shao, what was Ge Zhaodu doing? He led the old battalion to wander around the last territory of the original Yuan Shujun, often doing Huang Tian's business.
As the saying goes, there is no way to keep your shoes wet when you often walk by the river. Ge Zhaodu was also entangled by Yuan Shaojun's field legions several times, and was then forced to engage in the main decisive battle in the wild.
After all, the morale of the refugee army was really poor. They often retreated while fighting and fled directly. They tried to gather the defeated army a little, but were overtaken by the main force of the enemy.
The result of the decisive battle proved what previous player comments said. Ge Zhaodu's army could bully a lame warlord like Tao Qianjun who was severely bled not long after he started his career. It would be a dead end to start a war with a warlord of Yuan Shaojun's strength. .
But Ge Zhaodu still said stubbornly: "Don't look at it now. My territory is a little smaller than Yuan Shao. It's true that the area is not much on the map, but can Jiangdong in the Three Kingdoms era be compared with Hebei and the Central Plains?"
"So my strategy is a replica of Tao Qianjun's strategy. Although the target is now the bigger Yuan Shaojun, the method and operation are still the same."
"Xiaopei is one of the latest lands conquered by Yuan Shaojun. The order is still very chaotic, so Yuan Shaojun cannot be given time to digest this land. Through constant tribulations, ahem, Huang Tian's career, they can All you get is ruined land.”
"As a result, not only was there no way to obtain supplies from the local area, all resources had to be transported from the relatively stable Hebei Province. It was a long way, everyone. Tao Qian's army collapsed in less than a year. Although Yuan Shaojun's territory was so large, , but when the war starts on the third front, I think his finances can last for a few years!"
"Let me tell you, when I tried to play the game before, I only played the Yellow Turban remnant party government once and lost miserably. Now I have concluded the reason. It is because I did not adopt this tactic. This is called..."
"Well, let's call this tactic a poison pill tactic. It's as if Yuan Shaojun took a pill, but in fact it is a poison pill that can kill people and cause damage from inside their bodies."
"Of course, this tactic is not perfect, and it is easy to get out of it. You see, in my current control area in Jiangnan, many generals Huang Tian of the branch have begun to separate themselves or listen to the instructions. This is because of the loss of prestige due to successive defeats. Shaking results.”
Although Yuan Shao controlled Hebei and once controlled the entire Central Plains, on the one hand, he faced the pressure of three-line operations (the barrage said that Gongsun Zan is also called pressure?), on the other hand, he also had troublesome things like Ge Zhao, which made him gradually decline.
The whole year of 205 was a glorious year for Yuan Shao's army. As introduced in the previous chapter, Yuan Shao's army conquered Xiangping in the north, reached Hangu Pass in the east, and suppressed Liu Biao's army in the south, unable to move north. It can be said that the results were brilliant.
However, this glory is not without cost. Ge Zhaodu opened the console and jumped to Yuan Shaojun, not to do anything to undermine the fairness of the game, but to explain to the audience through game data.
"Yuan Shaojun's achievements in the first year of the war were based on the increasingly depressed economy. Although it seems to be continuing to expand, it is already suffering internal kidney failure and the good days will not last long."
Episode 6 of "Ge Zhaogong Creates Huangtian Again" ended abruptly here, staying at the moment when Yuan Shaojun began to fall from his most glorious peak.
