In Yecheng, after Yuan Shao received Yuan Shu's letter, he was a little undecided. Who wouldn't want the imperial seal? But Yuan Shao didn't want to send troops to attack Cao Cao!
"Gentlemen, what do you think?" Yuan Shao asked. In fact, the leader's opinion was that I want this thing, but I don't want to do it!
"The false emperor Yuan Shu went against the grain and brought his own destruction. Now that the imperial army has arrived, I am afraid that he will be defeated in the training month. My lord can write a letter in reply and ask Yuan Shu to send the jade seal first, and then make plans?" Xu You said
"Will Yuan Shu be so obedient and send the jade seal? Even if it is really sent, Yan Liang is still in the coalition army, how can he raise troops to put Yan Liang in danger?" Yuan Shaodao said
"Get the jade seal first, and the raising of troops can be postponed. As long as the jade seal is obtained, all this will not be a problem!" Xu You said
"Yeah! Not bad! But is Yuan Shu really going to be defeated? He has been gaining momentum recently and is overwhelming China!" Yuan Shao said unwillingly.
"If Yuan Shu really had an advantage, he would not join forces to divide the world. Now he is using the imperial seal to seduce the lord and let you send troops!" Tian Feng said. Tian Feng is a more resolute person and speaks very well. He is direct, so he has never been very popular with Yuan Shao, but his ability is really strong, and he is the best among everyone!
"What Yuan Hao said is true!" Ju Shu said
"This is the imperial seal! It would be such a pity to give up!" Xu You said
"The Emperor is still here, should we hand over the jade seal we got or keep it for ourselves?" Tian Feng asked with a cold face.
"Of course I'll keep this one!"
"Then we will be the next Yuan Shu!"
"Okay!" Seeing that the quarrel was about to start again, Yuan Shao quickly stopped it. It was not good to have too many capable people, that is, no one would obey anyone, and it would be too difficult to serve!
"Yan Liang is my general, how can I abandon it? There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. Yuxi is a hot potato. It doesn't matter if you don't want it. It's better to take the opportunity to hoard food and grass to develop your troops!" Yuan Shao ordered.
"I just don't know when this war will end?" Yuan Shao was a little confused. Is his Yuan family really going to perish like this?
"My lord, there is no need to worry. Yan Liang can take the opportunity to gather Yuan Shu's troops and bring them under his command. As for Yuan Shu's territory, whoever occupies it will be regarded as his. Therefore, my lord can send troops to Yangzhou during the decisive battle. The more you occupy, the more you gain!" Tian Feng Road
"Just do it!" Yuan Shao said
Yuan Shu's plan was thwarted. Looking at Yuan Shao's reply, Yuan Shu sneered. If his brothers didn't unite together, there would be no hope of victory.
"Did the coalition forces attack Shouchun?"
"Not yet, just resting and recuperating, but it is said that we will divide our forces to attack!"
"Hmph! This is about to seize the territory! I'm not defeated yet! Let Yuan Huan lead five thousand troops, set off on a small road, ambush the final road between Runan and Shouchun, let Cao's army pass, and then block the retreat. Join forces with Zhang Xun to attack Cao Jun!" Yuan Shu said
"Follow your orders!" Yuan Huan came out and said
"How is Ji Ling's injury?"
"I can lead the troops to fight, but the force is not as good as it is!" Ji Ling said.
"That's good. Look at the opportunity and fight the coalition forces!" Yuan Shu said
"It's Your Majesty!" Ji Ling said quickly. Now is not an ordinary time. If you have any problems, you can just solve them yourself. You can no longer ask casually!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three drums sounded, and Cao Cao and others ordered their troops and generals. Standing on the high platform, looking at the generals below, Cao Cao muttered in his heart, this is too bad. We have arranged it, we can't just let Lu Bu attack!
"The traitor Yuan Shu has gone against the grain and dared to proclaim himself emperor openly and challenge the emperor's authority! Today, we are ordered by the emperor to attack Yuan Shu. I wonder which general is willing to go out to call for battle?" Cao Cao said.
"The general is willing to go!" Xu Chu was the first to jump out. He had to be brave and fearless at this time, otherwise others would not come out!
"Zhong Kang bravely champions the three armies. He is indeed a good general!" Cheng Feng said with a smile. At the same time, he also set his sights on Liu, Guan, and Zhang. After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's martial arts are top-notch!
"I'm going to kill Ji Ling!" Zhang Fei had a hot temper and stood up after being provoked by Cheng Feng's eyes!
"I'll go too!" Yan Liang was not to be outdone. Everyone knew that Ji Ling was injured by Lu Bu. It would definitely be an advantage to take action at this time!
"Okay! There are three generals going out to fight, go call the formation!" Cao Cao was overjoyed. The more he looked at it, the happier he became. As long as someone goes out, it will be much easier!
Xu Chu and others each led their own troops and launched an attack on Shouchun. Unfortunately, Ji Ling was not Yuan Shu, but he was a real general. If it was about conspiracy and conspiracy, he might not know it, but he was an expert in marching, setting up formations, and attacking and defending cities. , personally supervising the battle at the top of the city, using bows and arrows, kerosene, and gold juice to defeat the coalition forces who could not get close to the city wall!
Shouchun was originally a wealthy place, with money and food no less than Yuzhou and Yizhou. The Yuan family had worked hard here for many years, and now it all belongs to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu let go of all military and political power, and began to enjoy all kinds of things. Seeing Ji Ling leading the army and repelling the attacks of Xu Chu and others many times, Yuan Shu felt even more relieved!
"Your Majesty is at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, and now he has just won a victory, why not choose a concubine to inspire people!" Yang Hong said
"Well! Okay, Aiqing, let's go and do this!" Yuan Shu said
"Attack the city!" Liu Bei finally got the command power. He was very conflicted about commanding other people's troops. He was afraid that others would not listen to him, he wanted to consume all the forces, and he was also worried about being discovered! Under such a complex psychological influence, Liu Bei began his first real command of a large army in combat!
As the orders were passed down, the coalition forces began to take action. The Hebei Army slowly advanced to hold down the position. Because Yan Liang and Cheng Feng brought cavalry, they were not needed for the siege, so they focused on keeping an eye on the city. The rear guard of the army is afraid that Ji Ling will make a surprise attack! Cao Jun and Xuzhou soldiers began to attack the city. Aerial ladders were quickly erected, and groups of men and horses rushed up to kill.
"Kill the enemy troops back! Fire arrows!" Ji Ling held a three-pointed two-edged sword and personally commanded. Yuan Shu's army is well-equipped and his soldiers are powerful. They may not be opponents in field battles, but they are definitely qualified soldiers when used to defend the city. Ji Ling is also a standard general and can be said to be proficient in everything about marching and combat.
"Use hot oil when you get close. If you choose to use a bow and arrow, don't show your head!" Ji Ling shouted
Cao Jun moved slowly with his shield on his back. Everyone knew that this was a war of attrition, but they couldn't avoid it, so they all approached slowly and tried to reduce casualties as much as possible. The effect was obvious!
The city walls of Shouchun are tall and ordinary ladders are not long enough. Even if there are a few who can reach the city occasionally, they are quickly destroyed by Yuan's army. After leaving corpses on the ground, Cao's army can only retreat!
"Xuande's tactics are not good!" Lu Bu said with a smile. He was most happy to see Cao's army being consumed!
"Hmph! Do you have any good ways to attack the city?" Liu Bei snorted coldly. It is obvious that this method of warfare is not working, but when you say it like this, you are a little careless!
"Surround him without attacking, and he will be trapped to death!" Lu Bu said with a smile.
"Haha! Are you kidding me? Shouchun's money is enough for Yuan Shu to spend ten years. Are you besieging him? I'm afraid he will drag him to death first!" Liu Bei laughed.
"Uh!" Lu Bu was stunned. That was indeed the case. It seemed that he was still suitable for charging into battle, not for this kind of planning!
"I wonder if Marquis Xiaoyao has any instructions?" Cao Cao asked.
At this time, Cheng Feng was frowning and thinking about how Liu Bei managed to capture Yuan Shu in history. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he still had to wait for Yuan Shu to commit suicide and wait until the people of Yangzhou were in dire straits before Liu Bei got in!
"Wait! Or we should defeat Zhang Xun's troops in Runan first and force Yuan Shu to leave the city to fight!" Cheng Feng said,
"Forcing Yuan Shu is indeed a clever plan, but how to force him? Yuan Shu is treacherous, but Ji Ling is a good general. The two trust each other very much. This counter-intentional strategy is useless!" Cao Cao frowned and said
"Runan and Nanyang can be operated!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Seconds!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, "It's just that Shouchun still needs people to surround it!" Cao Cao immediately thought of another serious question!
"The prime minister can lead his troops to Runan. Just leave Shouchun to Xuande and Lu Bu!" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"Is this possible?" Cao Cao was a little helpless. If he hadn't brought his own troops, Liu Bei and Lu Bu would have been suppressed and beaten by Yuan Shu.
"Now Yuan Shu dares not leave the city. There are many suspicious soldiers outside the city. He practices siege every day. He must be able to hide it from Yuan Shu. Although Ji Ling is good at marching and fighting, he does not know how to plot. The prime minister and I will join forces to send out troops and defeat him in the shortest time. Zhang Xun, when the time comes to attack Yuan Shu from both sides, the destruction of Shouchun City will be just around the corner!" said Cheng Feng
"I'm afraid Xuande and Fengxian won't be able to withstand Yuan Shu!" Cao Cao looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, we only need to prepare 20,000 horses!" Liu Bei also took the opportunity to speak. He didn't want to worry about the 20,000 horses in Lu Bu's hands, but Cao Cao's people could still use them, and Cao Cao couldn't refuse. , once things change, they can still take the opportunity to make Cao Cao and Lu Bu have a grudge!
"Okay! It's settled!" Cheng Feng said, "Yan Liang will also stay and learn more about riding combat with Marquis Wen!"
"Yes!" Yan Liang said. As long as he is not allowed to fight and consume his power, Yan Liang is willing to do so. What's more, it would be even better if he could have close contact with Lu Bu. Although he wants to follow Cheng Feng, this is not the case. Feng's order, I can only obey obediently!
"Okay!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said. Now that Ma Chao has invaded Chang'an Wancheng and other places, and he is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the pressure is very high. He must solve Yuan Shu's problem quickly, otherwise he will not be able to control the situation at all in the future!
"But before leaving, we should launch an attack on Shouchun. It is best to scare Ji Ling!" Cheng Feng said
"Okay! Listen to Xiaoyao Hou's instructions!" Cao Cao said
"The cavalry obeys the order, and the Anqian troops attack as standard, shooting at Shouchun City with ten arrows per person! No stopping! The infantry attacks the city with all its strength!" Cheng Feng shouted, this was to give Yuan Jun the biggest blow before leaving, so that They are mentally afraid of the coalition's attack, which will make it easier to feign attacks in the future!
The coalition forces were like a raging tide, attacking one after another, directly surrounding Shouchun. The loud shouts seemed to tear down the city wall. Even Ji Ling was a little confused. Why did it suddenly feel like he was being beaten? It’s like chicken blood!
"Quick! Get ready to defend the city!" Ji Ling said anxiously. He had just seen the coalition forces retreat, and before he could even take a breath, another wave of attacks came!
The cavalry's bows and arrows had a long range and were powerful. The Yuan army on top of the city was directly suppressed and could not raise their heads. They could only rely on large shields for defense. The coalition forces took the opportunity to start hitting the city gate, and various ladders were erected on the city wall!
"Not good!" Ji Ling was shocked, and his morale would be gone if things continued like this.
"Fire arrows! Don't let the coalition forces climb the city wall!" Ji Ling held a crossbow and began to attack downwards. In an instant, the coalition forces fell like dumplings into the water!
"The cavalry attacks again!" Cheng Feng's face was serious, with no expression at all. In fact, he was very happy. He used one hundred thousand arrows in exchange for Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others to consume each other. It was really a huge profit. As for those people, you can imagine the expressions on their faces now!
The battle was so intense that the allied forces failed to climb the city wall, leaving corpses all over the place, exposed within the range of Yuan's army. The allied forces did not clean up the battlefield. Cao Cao took advantage of the darkness and hurriedly set out for Runan, while Lu Bu and others stayed behind. In place, Ji Ling was frightened by this battle and did not dare to send troops to test easily. The losses of Yuan's army were very huge, most of them died from bows and arrows. Ji Ling secretly estimated that the losses of the coalition forces might be even greater, so both sides We had a tacit understanding and relaxed for a few days without provoking each other!
"Kill!" Cheng Yu has been holding back his anger since he was teased by Zhang Xun last time. In terms of intelligence, he is far better than Zhang Xun. In terms of force, he is not inferior to him, but he did not expect to be beaten by Zhang Xun. After playing with each other many times, it was true that my uncle could bear it, but my aunt couldn't!
"Deploy the formation!" Cheng Yu directly used his hometown skills, and the army set up a long snake formation to fight Zhang Xun!
"Haha! Soldiers are so cunning, how can they have an upright decisive battle! We are here to cause trouble for them!" Zhang Xun said with a smile.
"Send the order! Around Cheng Yu's military formation, each thousand-man team will attack at will. There is only one target, which is Cheng Yu's Chinese army. Fight with all your strength!" Zhang Xun sneered.
"Kill!" Cheng Yu was stunned. Why did Zhang Xun mobilize his entire army? I felt inexplicably nervous, I wanted to fight with the generals, why didn't this cheater act according to common sense?
"Not good!" Cheng Yu said, but now it's too late to change the formation. He can only hope in fate and see if someone will rush in. It's best if Zhang Xun rushes in. Even if he loses, as long as he kills Zhang Xun, it will be the same. A piece of credit!
"Charge over!" Chen Lan shouted. He didn't care about the long snake formation. The whole army aimed at Cheng Yu's banner and killed it, directly beating Cao Jun back step by step!
Chen Lan was quick and was the first one to kill without caring about the others. He led his own soldiers to kill everyone on sight, instantly disrupting the left wing. Chen Lan left after killing everyone, not giving Cao Jun a chance to entangle. The two armies were actually fighting together, and Cheng Yu sadly discovered that he had lost control of the army!
"Kill!" On the other side, Zhang Xun came in person and used bows and arrows to cover up and kill Cao Jun. Cheng Yu's brows jumped at the sight!
"Block! Those who retreat will be killed immediately!" Cheng Yu shouted, holding a long sword and going to fight Zhang Xun personally!
"Haha! Human slaughter, take your life!" Zhang Xun was overjoyed when he saw Cheng Yu, and he came over to kill him. The two had just fought for a few rounds when they saw Cao Jun's right wing was in chaos. It turned out that Lei Bo had led troops from Nanyang to kill him. Come out, attack from two sides, Cheng Yu Kun has no generals available, so he has to fight and retreat at the same time!
"Mr. Cheng Yu, don't panic, Xiahou Dun is coming!" Just when Cheng Yu couldn't resist, he shouted and Xiahou Dun came to kill him!
"Child Zhang Xun, take your life!" Xiahou Dun shouted, carrying a big knife and killing him directly!
Zhang Xun was shocked. He was just a draw with Cheng Yu. Xiahou Dun himself could never beat him. When he saw Xiahou Dun coming towards him to kill him, he ignored Cheng Yu and turned around and ran away!
"Zhang Xun is defeated!" Cheng Yu took the opportunity to shout. The morale of Cao's army was greatly improved. Under the leadership of Xiahou Dun, Yuan's army was pursued all the way. The Yuan army was killed and did not dare to fight. It retreated for more than thirty miles!
"Fortunately, General Xiahou arrived in time!" Cheng Yu said, wiping away cold sweat.
"After receiving the letter from Mr. Xun You, Mr. Xun You asked me to come quickly. After all, there is nothing wrong!" soldiers bleed less!
"Ashamed! After several battles, I didn't get any advantage!" Cheng Yu was speechless. Could it be that the timing of his birth was wrong?
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Sir, there is no need to do this. Sir, please give the order and Dun will fully cooperate!" Xiahou Dun said
"Thank you, general!" Cheng Yu said. He had a bad reputation and most people were unwilling to do business with him. He didn't expect that the most trusted person under Cao Cao would support him so much. Cheng Yu just wanted to cry at this moment!
"Attack!" When all parties launched an attack on Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, the number one warlord in Jiangdong, also started a formal Northern Expedition. Led by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, he took the lead in attacking Lijiang. The Jiangdong Army took the opportunity to annex Yuan Shu last time. The navy has obtained a large number of warships and supplies, and can now be said to be the representative of the Han Navy. Therefore, the attack on Chengjiang has become a simple and crude unilateral attack!
Zhou Yu was high-spirited and Sun Ce was majestic and mighty. The two of them could be said to have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Taking advantage of the vast darkness, the two captured all the places near Lijiang. In the end, they surrounded the city of Lijiang, except for Yuan Yin and Liu who had just arrived. Xun Xun was confused. This Jiangdong soldier came so quickly!
"Attack!" Sun Ce and others didn't know that the situation in Chengjiang had changed. They wanted to take advantage of the strong morale to capture the city. As long as they captured Chengjiang, they would open the door to the north. They could directly attack Shouchun on the west route. You can also attack Runan, Jiangxia, or even directly attack Cao Cao's base camp, Xuchang!
"Hmph! Sun Ce, I'm afraid your imagination has gone blind!" Yuan Yin said angrily.
"Young master can fight with the city wall, but Jiangdong's army cannot fight on land. As long as you don't fight with Sun Ce, you can strangle Jiangdong's army!" Liu Xundao said
"Okay! Just send the troops, general. I don't want full merit, but I want no faults!" Yuan Yin said.
"yes!"
Jiangdong's army was attacking the city. Liu Xun led his soldiers to suddenly charge out, catching Sun Ce by surprise. Yuan Jun kept chasing Jiangdong's soldiers, and did not engage in battle with Sun Ce. He only killed Jiangdong's army until corpses lay everywhere and rivers of blood flowed. , returned in defeat!
