After hearing what the scout said, Yuan Shu felt dizzy. He suppressed the sadness and anger in his heart and motioned to the scout in the hall to tell him the specific truth.
"To be honest with my lord, a few days ago the bandits in Wagang Village in Yuzhou were attacked. With the slogan of punishing the tyrannical and ruthless Han people, they secretly contacted the Yellow Turban remnant army and Fengming King Li Zitong, and assembled a large army, led by Division Sheng Yan. The commander-in-chief, with Zhang Gongjin as the accompanying military advisor and Wang Junke as the supervisor, led a total of nine lieutenants including Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, Pei Renji, Pei Yuanqing, Jin Jia, Tong Huan, Li Ruhui, Zhang Zhuan and Yang He to attack Runan County.
During this period, two generals, Zhang Qing and Yang Shishen, who were stationed in Xiyang County, were forced to lead 3,000 county troops to counterattack. The result was a disastrous defeat. General Zhang Qing led 300 remnant troops to retreat to Shangcai County and asked for help from Generals Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.
General Yang Shishen, who was responsible for breaking the rear, was beheaded by the rebel Qu Tutong... and no bones were left. "
When he heard that his general Yang Shishen had been killed by the rebels, Yuan Shu's eyes were split open and his whole body was shaking with anger. He suppressed the anger in his heart and motioned to the scout to continue speaking.
"The thieves marched into Runan with great force. Pei Yuanshao, the guard of Xinyang County, took the initiative to attack, but because he was outnumbered, he was maimed to death by the rebel king Junke."
When he heard that Pei Yuanshao was also dead, Yuan Shu's eyes were completely bloodshot and red!
"Where are the rebels now? What does Jia Fu do? He didn't lead an army to resist! Can't these guys like Wang Yin, Lu Shinang, Li Dian, Hong Jin, and Han Hao even defend their own homes? I'm so angry!"
The scout wanted to speak, but seeing that Yuan Shu was very angry, he didn't dare to say anything for fear of losing his life!
"Tell me, what was General Jia Fu doing at that time? Didn't he lead the army to resist the invading thieves?"
Hearing Yuan Shu's question, the scout shuddered coldly, and then answered tremblingly.
"General Jia Fu led eight thousand warriors and four generals, Yuan Dong, Zhang Ming, Gao Yanzong, and Xuanzan, to attack the enemy. However, he was blocked by a young boy on the opposite side.
The thief general was young but extremely skilled in martial arts. He was riding a Yuan Ning lion colt and holding a pair of eight-edged plum blossom silver hammers. He was on par with General Jia Fu in battle. "
Damn it, this young guy should be Pei Renji’s third son, Pei Yuanqing, without a doubt!
There are only a handful of generals in the world who can fight Jia Fu for more than a hundred rounds without deciding the outcome. Now that Pei Yuanqing has joined the battlefield, it is indeed very difficult to retreat from the enemy.
Just when Yuan Shu's eyes were gloomy and his mind was filled with thoughts, the scout spoke again, bluntly saying that Fengming King Li Zitong had united with the remnant Yellow Turban army to attack Chen Guo in Yuzhou from the west.
"Li Zitong?"
Hearing Li Zitong's name, Yuan Shu's eyes widened, and frightening thoughts emerged in his mind.
"Have you ever heard that there are children of the Wu family under Li Zitong?"
"My lord, how do you know? There are indeed several powerful generals under Li Zitong, all with the surname Wu. Among them, Wu Yunzhao, Wu Tianci, Wu Jianzhang, Wu Kui, Wu Bao, Wu Long and others are the most..."
Hearing that these guys were also in the anti-thief camp, Yuan Shu had a splitting headache, his eyes went dark, and he almost fainted.
Now that he was trapped in the quagmire of Yangzhou and unable to extricate himself, most of the generals in the army were sent to support Sun Jian and his son in the fight against the Taiping Rebellion.
Now that Yuzhou has suffered a loss, he is in the southern country to strangle Fang La and cannot withdraw his troops in time to support him. What should he do?
Xu Shao, Xu Jing, Yuan Huan, Yuan Yin, Yan Xiang, Zhang Guiya, Yang Hong, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun, Zhao Yan, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, Shi Tao, Fan Qin, Du Xi, Zaosan and other civil servants They are all located in Yuzhou. If Yuzhou is destroyed, the solid family foundation that I have worked so hard to build will be in vain...
"Damn, damn!"
Yuan Shu was so angry that he took out the sword from his waist and split the document in half with one strike to vent his hatred.
"If the summons is carried out again, the system will trigger balance, and I don't know how many more rebellious officials and traitors will appear in the world. But if I do not carry out the summons, Yuzhou will suffer a loss. What should I do?"
Thinking of this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes, and then he saw him raising his arms to summon his confidant Gao Jineng, ordering him to ride a precious horse, go to Sun Jian as quickly as possible, and send all the generals sent to support him. Call back to Yuzhou.
"The situation is urgent. If necessary, you can keep Yuzhou to help General Jia Fu defeat the enemy!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Gao Jineng answered.
After passing the military talisman handed over by Yuan Shu, he quickly turned around and left the tent, mounted his treasure horse, and galloped towards the south.
It will take at least a week for Yangzhou to return to defense and support Yuzhou, even if it works day and night. By the time Dianwei and the others return to Runan, the day lilies may be cold.
"Without the help of Dian Wei and others, Sun Jian would not have been defeated by the Taiping rebels so quickly."
For the time being, moving the army is the first step in the strategic plan. Secondly, Yuan Shu sent soldiers to pass the order, asking the generals in Yuzhou to hold on to the city, with waiting for reinforcements to return to the defense as the primary task, and annihilating the enemy's effective forces as the secondary task.
Then in the third step, Yuan Shu personally called his confidants and asked them to bring their personal swords and warrants to Cao Cao in Yanzhou for help. If necessary, he could agree to Cao Cao's requests for money and food.
"If Cao Cao agrees, you can directly tell him my request. You must ask Cao Cao to send General Zhang Kui to personally lead his soldiers to help."
"I will obey your orders!"
The soldiers retreated, leaving Yuan Shu in the tent pacing back and forth, thinking hard and considering ways to defeat the enemy.
The top priority is to deal with the Fangla rebels in the shortest possible time, and then go back north to defend Yuzhou. If it is too late, something will happen!
"Fortunately, Chen Youliang did not send troops. If Chen Youliang had sent troops, I really don't know what to do..."
Yuan Shu, who had calmed down slightly, sat upright, holding his forehead with his hand, and began to review the damage in recent days.
From the time when Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom proclaimed himself emperor to the present, Yuan Shu personally led his army in the southern expedition, annihilating dozens of generals in the southern kingdom, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies, and repelling and annihilating tens of thousands of warriors who came to support various forces. His achievements were numerous and his reputation was fully demonstrated. .
Now is the final moment to completely eliminate the rebels in the Southern Kingdom. If we lead the army to retreat, in addition to failing in the success, it will also be uncomfortable for the ten permanent servants of the Han Dynasty and the Ling Emperor to be blamed, and they may even be accused of collaborating with the enemy!
"The current Southern Kingdom and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will definitely be crushed to pieces under the iron heel of my Yuan army. It's just a matter of time."
I saw Yuan Shu exhaling deeply, his eyes bright, regaining his ambition, looking at the green mountains and green waters in the distance outside the camp, with a fierce fighting spirit in his heart!
The top priority is to completely destroy the Southern Kingdom and kill the leader of the thieves, Fang La, to boost the morale of the army. No\./Wrong\./Update\./New`.w`.a`.p`.`.c`.o`.m As for Yuzhou, Yuan Shu has a plan in mind. As long as Li Zitong is eliminated in this battle , then everything will be fine!
"Pass my command, all the officers and men in the army will be in full strength, regroup, and rush eastward to join General Yuan Ji and others. In three days, we must arrive at Poyang Lake, destroy the rebels in the South, and decide the outcome in one battle!"
