Zhao Yun led his men and horses galloping all the way. Both the Dragon God Army and Zhang He's Suzaku Army were strictly trained. They were familiar with this kind of rapid march. The army made no mistakes along the way. Of course, even if they wanted to find something, it was impossible. The prairie There were not many people on the Gobi Desert, and with the Han army advancing all the way, they arrived in Liaodong in just ten days!
Historically, Liaodong was ruled by the Gongsun family. The current ruler is Gongsun Du. This man has great ambitions. Taking advantage of the civil strife among the major princes in the Central Plains, he began to travel around and mediate among the major forces, relying on luck and means to become independent. In addition to all the camps, Gongsundu now controls all the resources in Liaodong. He resists Goguryeo in the east, resists Fuyu in the north, and blocks Korea in the south. This has strengthened the influence of Chinese civilization in Liaodong. However, as Gongsundu's power increases, , the chaos in the Central Plains began, and he had conquered Goguryeo and other surrounding countries and ethnic minorities. Therefore, as long as he captured Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang and his son, it would be equivalent to conquering the entire Northeast region. Yuan Shao now also sets his sights here, letting Gongsun Du of Liaodong The situation of the Sun family was very embarrassing. In addition, Gongsun Du and Sun Jian had a good relationship. The two communicated with each other and planned to conquer the Central Plains!
Gongsun Du secretly sent troops to suddenly attack Yuan Shao's western Liaoning. Yuan Shao's army was defeated by Gongsun Du without preparation. By the time Yuan Shao received the news, Gongsun Du had already occupied a small half of Youzhou!
"Trash, they are all trash. Fifty thousand elites can't stop Liaodong's thirty thousand troops!" Yuan Shao was roaring. He had been scolding the defeated Chunyu Qiong for almost half an hour, but Yuan Shao still had no intention of stopping. !
"My lord, this Gongsun family is planning a sneak attack. Our army is not prepared. In addition, many people are still attracted to Gongsun Zan because they are not familiar with the place. This Gongsun Du claims to be a member of Gongsun Zan's clan. This makes us very passive!" Chunyu Qiong was a little helpless! , the defeat this time was so embarrassing, it was about to start a war, the soldiers could not gather together, and there were people doing evil tricks wherever they went, it was so frustrating!
"Huh! This is not an excuse. One general is incompetent and will kill the entire army. From now on, you have to guard the food and grass!" Yuan Shao said angrily. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was one of the eight captains of Xiyuan back then, he brought a large number of Yuan Shao had kicked him out a long time ago. He really failed to succeed but failed!
"Yes, Lord!" Chunyu Qiong said quickly. Finally, he didn't have to be scolded. In fact, he really didn't blame him. The main reason was that the right time, the right place, and no one was on his side, so there was nothing he could do!
"Gao Lan Ju Yi, the two of you and Tian Feng will lead one hundred thousand troops and rush to Youzhou at starry night. You must stop Gongsun Du from me!" Yuan Shaodao said
"Yes, lord!" Watching them walk away, Yuan Shao frowned deeply. He had just laid out the plan and was about to trick Cao Cao, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen again!
"My lord, Cao Cao's army has turned back, and Lu Bu is vulnerable. I guess Cao Cao will do something to us?" Jushu said. After all, Yuan Shao has tricked Cao Cao several times. With Cao Cao's character, it would be too strange if he did nothing. Got it!
"I understand him. As long as I deploy the army, Cao Cao will not move around. I will write another letter to Liu Bei and let him take the opportunity to send troops to deal with Cao Cao. In this way, we can free up our hands to deal with Gongsun Du. As long as Liaodong is If you take it, Cao Cao has nothing to fear!" Yuan Shao laughed and said,
"Yes, I will ask General Yan Liang to lead troops to Mengjin to garrison!" Jushu said,
Sun Jian has been very high-spirited recently. His eldest son Sun Ce has become famous and conquered six counties in Jiangdong, allowing Sun Jian to further expand his power. Once a person's power reaches a high level, he begins to match his corresponding desires. Looking at the growing army, Sun Jian begins to Liu Biao had an opinion. He had been sniped by Liu Biao back then. If Zu Mao hadn't blocked the gun for him, he might have died long ago. There were also hundreds of elite soldiers who all had sworn enemies. Now Sun Jian is sending troops to Jingzhou. The thoughts are getting stronger and stronger!
"My lord, Zu Mao's revenge must be avenged, but should we wait for the eldest son to come back? Let's make a long-term plan. I heard from De Mou that Zhou Yu is a rare talent. His military skills and strategies have been rare since ancient times!" Huang Gai said,
"A small Liu Biao is not enough to kill all my men in Jiangdong. Besides, Bo Fu and the others have conquered Jiangdong. If our fathers still can't conquer Jingzhou, then we won't be able to lose face either! "Sun Jian said helplessly. These words made Huang Gaihan laugh. They were all very satisfied with Sun Ce. If they were chased by Sun Ce now, they would indeed be a little embarrassed!
"Father, eldest brother and the others have fought so many victorious battles in Jiangdong. I believe that father can also win!" At this time, nine-year-old Sun Quan said,
"Haha! Quan'er is right, father will win!" Sun Jian laughed. It is said that parents are their children's first teachers, so Sun Jian naturally wanted to show off in front of his son!
"Lord, where should we attack first? The nine counties of Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, that is, Jiangxia, are relatively close to us. If we defeat Jiangxia, Liu Biao will have no navy. By then, the entire Jingzhou will be within our attack range. He It’s difficult for Liu Biao to defend even if he wants to!" Huang Gai thought for a while and said
"Well, let's attack Jiangxia. Huang Zu can be regarded as a general under Liu Biao. Taking them down will be a big gain. In this way, let's attack Jiangxia first and see how Huang Zu's combat power is!" Sun Jiandao
Taking advantage of the darkness of night, Sun Jian led his navy to gallop, landed quietly from Xiakou Port, and went directly to the city of Jiangxia. During this period, Sun Jian sent Huang Gai to secretly burn Huang Zu's warships, leaving the entire Jingzhou without any navy. , and Huang Zu could only lead his soldiers to hold on.
"Quick, defend the city!" Huang Zu shouted anxiously. He never dreamed that Sun Jian would sneak attack and directly burn all his warships. Fortunately, all his soldiers were in the city, otherwise the losses would have been huge. In fact, if Huang Zu sent his army to the navy camp, Sun Jian might not be able to burn the warships. But now is not the time to think about this. Seeing Sun Jian's army attacking fiercely under the city, Huang Zu was also very anxious. !
"Go up and attack Jiangxia City!" Huang Gai waved his whips and directed the soldiers to attack. Although they succeeded in the sneak attack, they were fighting in a remote place after all and were very unfamiliar with the terrain. They could still attack several times in the dark. If Before dawn, Jiangxia was captured. What was waiting for them was the Jingzhou Army, which was several times their own size!
"Lord, we can't continue fighting like this. No matter whether we can capture the city or not, our losses will be huge. We must find a way!" Han Dang saw the casualties among Soochow soldiers and horses, and hurriedly told Sun Jian said
"What can we do? We are not familiar with the terrain, so we can only take advantage of Huang Zu's unpreparedness to speed up the attack. If we give him a chance to breathe, it will be difficult for us to fight!" Sun Jian was helpless. He originally thought that with the navy, Jiang Xia would have it at his fingertips, but not Thinking of just burning the boat, Jiangxia's vitality is still there!
"Retreat! Look for favorable terrain to ambush Liu Biao's reinforcements! Take the opportunity to understand the terrain of Jiangxia and try to break the city in the next attack!" Wu Jun attacked for most of the day. When Sun Jian saw that the effect was not good, he had to order.
When Sun Jian withdrew, Huang Zu sat on the ground tiredly, breathing heavily, feeling like he had narrowly escaped death. However, before he could feel lucky, he thought of the seriousness of the matter. Although Huang Zu was not capable Huang Zu was big, but he was a qualified defender. He knew what he could rely on, and he didn't care about being tired. He arranged for people to inquire about the movements of Sun Jian and others. At the same time, Huang Zu also asked Liu Biao for help, hoping to get help. After all, he was now an adult. As a fish without water, he could only be bullied by Sun Jian, and there was no possibility of attacking anymore!
"General, Sun Jian will definitely not wait for reinforcements to arrive. I think we should take the initiative. Even if there is no war, we must find out the movements of Sun Jian's army, otherwise we will be too passive!" Gan Ning said, as the number one master in Jiangxia, What Gan Ning said still holds great weight!
"Xingba is right, but it's a pity that my power is too small, and the lord Liu Biao doesn't value you. It's really helpless! I leave the movements of Sun Jian's army to you!" Huang Zu said with a smile, he had never treated Gan Ning Don’t treat him like a subordinate, but treat him like a friend!
"Don't worry, general, I will personally guard the city gate and I will never let Sun Jian come over!" Gan Ning was domineering and confident in himself. Looking at the world, even if he met Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, Gan Ning would not give in. He felt You can face anyone by yourself!
Sun Jian secretly set up defenses and blocked Cai Mao and others who came to support, eighty miles away from Jiangxia City. Sun Jian cut off Huang Zu and Cai Mao with a small force, which made Liu Biao furious when he got the news. Cai Mao was a loser, and after Sun Ce got the news of Sun Jian's attack on Jingzhou, he also rushed there at night. The entire Jiangdong and Jingzhou entered a state of war readiness. Sun Ce sent the vanguard Ling Cao with five thousand elite troops to set off first for support. Sun Jian, for fear that something might happen to Sun Jian, everyone was nervously preparing for war. Only an eight or nine-year-old boy was worried. That was Sun Quan. He had great ambitions when he was young. Now that he saw how brave his father and brother were, Sun Quan was not to be outdone. He directly sent his personal bodyguard Zhou Tai to prepare sergeants in advance, but it was a pity that he ran into a bandit riot in Xuancheng. Zhou Tai was stabbed dozens of times and desperately rescued Sun Quan, which ruined Sun Quan's plan for the western expedition. This incident also made it more complicated. It increased Sun Quan's confidence in taking power!
Gan Ning defended Jiangxia tightly, while Sun Jian struggled to resist Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's attack. Just when they were at a stalemate, Sun Jian got news that there was a path that could go directly behind Cai Mao and others. Sun Jian personally led his troops to sneak attack and defeated Cai Mao in one fell swoop. In the camp, the Jingzhou army was killed with blood flowing for thousands of miles, and they were pursued all the way to the vicinity of Yanshan Mountain. After Liu Biao got the news, he was so scared that he closed the door and did not dare to fight. On the other hand, Ling Cao arrived with his troops and directly attacked Ganning. Camp, but was shot by Gan Ning with an arrow and killed him! Gan Ning personally led the troops into the battle and defeated the troops brought by Ling Cao, ruining the good situation in Jiangdong. Gan Ning and Huang Zu took advantage of Sun Ce's absence to attack Sun Jian from behind, causing Sun Jian, who had just won, to be attacked from both sides. Besieged in Yanshan Mountain and unable to move!
"Kill!" Xu Chudian and Wei, like hungry men who saw delicious food, led Cao Cao's army to swarm Lu Bu. The pursuing Lu Bu had no temper at all. Although he had many generals under his command, compared with Cao Cao, , these people are not enough. Lu Bu originally wanted to use his bravery to open up Cao Jun's position, but as soon as Lu Bu went out to fight, he was blocked by Xu Chudianwei. Originally, Lu Bu could not deal with any of them. There is a great chance of winning, but when faced with the two joining forces, Lu Bu can only resist!
"Lü Bu, look at the sword!" Xu Chu chased after Lu Bu with the sword. Dian Wei's two big iron halberds spun like windmills, killing Lu Bu's men and running around. Lu Bu was only very angry. He only had martial arts, but what? I can’t do it either, I’m really too frustrated!
"Kill!" Lu Bu became fierce and turned his horse's head to kill Cao Cao's army. Since he was kited to death along the way, Lu Bu planned to capture the thief and capture the king first. While Dian Wei Xu Chu was not around, Lu Bu directly attacked and killed Cao Cao! Lu Bu's horse was so fast that Xu Chu couldn't catch up. He was left behind by Lu Bu without paying attention. He watched helplessly as Lu Bu was killing crazily among the army!
"Not good!" Xu Chu and others said in unison, and hurriedly returned to the Chinese army for reinforcements. Facing the menacing Lu Bu, Cao Cao held a spear in both hands and his body was shaking. He didn't know whether it was fear or excitement. Cao Cao commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack Lu Bu. Cao Hong, Xia Houdun and others also tried their best to stop him, but Lu Bu failed to reach Cao Cao. , but it also caused huge damage to Cao's army, killing corpses everywhere. In the end, the two armies ceased fighting. Lu Bu led his troops to join Chen Gong and went to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei!
"Pursue the whole army! Kill towards Xuzhou!" Cao Cao was about to give the order, but was stopped by Xun Yu.
"Prime Minister, Lu Bu is a tiger and a wolf, and Liu Bei is hypocritical, but we cannot underestimate the methods and abilities of the two of them. If we attack now, the two of them will definitely join forces. Our strength can only deal with one person, and it is not enough for us to start a war at the same time. . But after giving them time, Lu Bu and Liu Bei will definitely start a fight, and then Ming Gong will be able to reap the benefits!" Xun Yu said, and everyone else who listened nodded repeatedly and kept praising Xun Yu's cleverness!
"Wen Ruo's words are reasonable. I am not as good as you when it comes to understanding human nature! Haha!" Cao Cao was also persuaded by Xun Yu and sincerely praised, "Then what should we do next? Hebei Yuan Shao has provoked us many times, right? You can use troops against him!"
"Yuan Shao is suspicious. Now that our army is turning around, Yuan Shao must be on guard. In addition, the battle situation in Liaodong has changed. Yuan Shao will definitely be more careful about our movements. Don't forget that there is a Chengfeng in Jizhou. We still don't want to go into this muddy water. Good. Now that the emperor is in trouble, Guo Si, Li Jue and others are doing whatever they want in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, Ming Gong can take the opportunity to send troops to rescue the emperor, and then he can serve the emperor to punish his enemies!" Xun Yu was the leading strategist. , Strategic thinking is really not something to be concealed. In just a few words, Cao Cao was able to see through the clouds and suddenly become enlightened!
"Okay! Let's do it! Miaocai, you and Yuan Rang lead the troops first, and be sure to protect the emperor. I will arrive soon. Remember, it is best to recruit Xiliang soldiers to surrender. If not, kill them all and leave no one behind. There will be trouble in the future!" Cao Cao said murderously, and this domineering tone made Xun Yu feel a little regretful, and a little worried that he had misjudged the wrong person!
When Cao Cao's army set out for the capital, Zhao Yun also completed his first attack. Zhao Yun did not attack Liaodong directly, but took the opportunity to capture Goguryeo, South Korea and other surrounding areas. Xu Shu received Chengfeng's instructions and completely broke out into the Wan Mie disciples. Because of his nature, under Cheng Feng's instructions to support war with war, he killed all the adults in Goguryeo and other places, leaving only children under five years old, and moved the Xianbei people to these places, giving them a vibrant place, let them be grateful to Chengfeng, and strengthened their determination to deal with the Gongsun family. In this battle, they were all frightened by Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun broke out of the formation alone and killed ten Goguryeo generals among thousands of troops. With his own The power of the enemy defeated the enemy's confidence, and the whole world was really dark. All the foreigners knew Zhao Yun's name. Many people trembled when they saw the Chengfeng army and did not dare to face it!
"I've left this place to you. I hope you can take care of yourself. Since I can give you a place to live, I can also take it back. If you have other intentions in the future, don't blame me for being rude!" Before leaving, Zhao Yun also gave this group of people a greeting. Vaccination, for fear that something might happen to them!
Zhao Yun and Xu Shu learned that Yuan Shao had been entangled with Gongsun Du's army, and the south had to guard against Cao Cao, and was unable to attack Liaodong. Zhao Yun attacked directly from Goguryeo and occupied Yangping in just a few days. Regarding Liaodong, Cheng Feng's policy Obviously, the main thing is to conquer people's hearts. This makes Zhao Yun a little puzzled. Why was Chengfeng able to exterminate Goguryeo, while Liaodong, which was also his opponent, just conquered it?
"My lord's thoughts are unpredictable. We'd better not think too much about it. My lord has his own ideas. Let's march on the army properly!" Zhang He thought for a long time and didn't know the reason, so he had to say,
"Hmm! I wonder what Mr. Xu has to say. Now Gongsun Du and Gao Lan are confronting each other. Should we attack Gongsun Du or defend the city?" After all, Zhao Yun is young and can charge into battle. Zhao Yun feels a headache for these political affairs. very!
"The Gongsun family still has a very high reputation in Liaodong. It would be best if we could conquer them. The most important thing for us now is to occupy Yangping first, and use the power of the Qinggang to open the hearts of the people and make all people's hearts It's enough to concentrate on us. With the reputation of the lord and General Zhao, there should be no problem in conquering Liaodong!" Xu Shu said with a smile.
"I hope, it's just that Liaodong has been under the rule of the Gongsun family, and it can be considered peaceful for a long time. Our arrival has destroyed the peace here. I hope they won't resist too much!" Zhao Yun frowned slightly, feeling for the first time It's not easy to become a Feng, it's so tiring to play this game!
"Let's wait first and do no harm to the people. When Gongsun Du is defeated, we will subdue them!" Xu Shu said with a smile. As long as he takes the initiative, he is not afraid of the power of the Gongsun family. For the people, who is in charge? It doesn’t matter if you make the decision, as long as you can live a stable life!
"Okay! Order the army not to harass the people, and arrange for people to closely monitor the movements of Yuan Shaojun and Gongsun Du, and be ready to fight at any time. In addition, the army will rest and recuperate to maintain combat effectiveness!" Zhao Yundao
