Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 41

Of course, we all learned later that Yuan Shu's side failed.Gongsun Zan suffered a disastrous defeat at Jieqiao, Yuan Shu lost general Sun Jian, and Tao Qian was the one who suffered the least loss among these people.

Later, when Cao Cao established a firm foothold in Yanzhou, his father Cao Song wanted to defect, and Cao Cao sent Ying Shao to pick him up.

At this time, disagreements emerged. "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Chronicles of Emperor Wu", "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Cao Teng", and "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Ying Shao" all said that Tao Qian was the real murderer, and "Shishuo Xinyu" even listed the incident go through.In "Wu Shu", it is written that in order to curry favor with Cao Cao, Tao Qian sent people to protect him, but the result was that he was entrusted with wrongdoing.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to set off Tao Qian's image as a good old man, a Zhang Kai was even created.

Because the records are different, this public case has been entangled for a long time. Historians have always believed that the former is historical fact, and the latter was just because Tao Qian and Sun Jian had a good relationship, so Tao Qian was cleared.

But there are still many people talking about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which has affected many people.

So what does this case have to do with Xiaopei?In fact, Xiaopei was only occupied when Liu Bei rescued Tao Qian, and it has always been a bridgehead for defending Cao Cao since then.As long as Cao Cao does not conquer here, he cannot attack Xuzhou.

Zhang Yi stopped in Xiaopei for a while, and then asked Shi Qian to sneak into the city with scouts to collect information about Liu Bei.Two days later, Shi Qian reported that Liu Bei was forced by Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao's army in Yuzhou, and did not dare to move easily.Moreover, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to guard Xiapi, and Zhang Fei and himself guarded Xiaopei. There were few soldiers and horses, and the defense was more than adequate, but the offense was insufficient.

After receiving such information, Zhang Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as everything follows the development of history, it will be fine.I can also use my familiarity with history to accumulate some family assets.Although he now has three generals under his command, Di Qing is the only one who can lead troops to fight.But Di Qing is just a Dubo, and he needs to fight a few more battles if he wants to be promoted.

Zhang Yi continued to set off for Huainan.To the south of Xiaopei is Jiujiang County in Huainan, and Yuan Shu is in Shouchun City in Jiujiang County.Shouchun is the county seat, but because Yuan Shu has been entrenched here all these years, his pseudo-imperial palace was also built in Shouchun.

Two years ago, Shouchun was breached, Yuan Shu escaped, survived, and occupied Shouchun again.

But now Shouchun is no longer as prosperous as before. There are hungry people everywhere, and there are not many soldiers guarding the city.Yuan Shu wanted to go to Qingzhou several times, but was stopped all the time and had to return to Shouchun.

Shi Qian led people to explore Yuan Shu's traces, and finally discovered Yuan Shu who had just returned to Shouchun.Reported to Zhang Yi immediately, Zhang Yi immediately sent troops to march towards Shouchun.

When Zhang Yi arrived outside Shouchun City, he looked at the listless soldiers on the city and called Di Qing over: "In this battle, you will lead the guard camp to attack. This battle may not be fierce, but how many people our army has lost will be It depends on your ability."

Di Qing said solemnly: "General, don't worry, I will definitely defeat Shouchun."

Zhang Yi nodded, noncommittal.Although the city of Shouchun was built by Yuan Shuxiu, it has been dilapidated a lot. Not to mention a few places of the city wall collapsed, even half of the city gate was broken.

How could such a city be able to withstand the army?It's just that no one around wants the land.Cao Cao was busy cleaning up the surrounding area, Sun Ce was busy stabilizing Jiangdong, Liu Bei had just arrived in Xuzhou, and he didn't want to return to Shouchun, a place full of hungry people.

That's why Yuan Shu was able to linger here, which also gave Zhang Yi a chance, maybe he could win Shouchun or Jiujiang County as his foundation!

At this time in Shouchun City, Yuan Shu also received a report from the soldiers: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of people outside the city, under the banner of Zhang Zi, I don't know who the soldiers are!"

Yuan Shu was sick in bed at this time, since he was kicked out of Shouchun, everyone betrayed him, only the general Ji Ling still stood by his side.Qiao Rui died in battle, Zhang Xun joined Sun Ce, Liu Xun took control of Lujiang, Lei Bo and Chen Lan became bandits, and there were only a thousand soldiers left in the army that used to be tens of thousands.

Among the civil servants, only those who were coerced by him, those who were killed by him were killed, and those who escaped fled. There was only one Xu Yu who was coerced by him was still by his side, but Xu was upright and did not work for him.It can be said that he has reached the end of his life, and Yuan Shu was thinking, why did he fall to such a point?

He has no answer.People are like this, it is difficult to see their own mistakes, Yuan Shu is used to being arrogant, and until now he doesn't know where he is wrong.

Ji Ling bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "Your Majesty, I will fight off the enemies and serve Your Majesty again."

Yuan Shu waved his hand weakly: "Go!"

Ji Ling bowed and retreated, and then walked towards the city wall, while walking, he ordered: "Mobilize all the archers to the city gate, and don't let the enemy attack through the city gate!"

"Yes!"

Ji Ling was very calm in his heart. He knew that Shouchun City would not be able to stop the enemy's attack at all. All he could do now was to defend as much as possible.They also returned to Shouchun yesterday. If he was given a few more days, he might be able to block the city gate, but it was already too late.These soldiers haven't regained their strength yet, and they can't do it even if they want to grab heavy objects and block the door.

Moreover, the rolling logs and stones used to defend the city were also destroyed.The entire Shouchun was ransacked by Lu Bu, and it was impossible to find anything valuable.

If the enemy is really powerful, then today may be his death day!Ji Ling is not afraid of death, he has lived enough, everyone left Yuan Shu, only he persisted to the end, death may be a kind of relief for him.

Outside the city, Di Qing was already standing at the edge of the range of the bow and arrow with his personal guards, only waiting for Zhang Yi's order to assault the city gate.

The other soldiers were also ready, and Zhang Yi immediately waved the command flag: "Attack the city!"

With this dilapidated city gate, there is no need to use ladders to attack the city, just launch an attack directly inside.

Di Qing rushed to the front with his personal guards. Yuan Jun on the city wall saw it and immediately started shooting arrows.Unfortunately, due to hunger, the arrows they shot were all light.Di Qing led the people, and quickly rushed to the gate. Once inside the gate, Di Qing waved his hand, and the guards immediately put their shields on top of each other, forming a shield wall, and moved forward slowly.

The archers inside the city gate couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw the moving shield wall. This was the first time they had seen such a formation.

But Di Qing was not dumbfounded. He looked forward through the gap in the shield. With a wave of his hand, the shield wall separated, revealing several small gaps in the middle. A few archers were exposed inside. He immediately shot out the arrows, and then the shield closed again.The arrow hit Yuan Jun in the city, frightening other Yuan Jun to retreat quickly.

Seeing the enemy running away, Di Qing immediately shouted: "Come on!"

The shield wall was dismantled immediately, turned into more than 20 sword and shield soldiers, and rushed into the city.
