Chapter 230 Sending Troops to the South ([-])

Although Xu You was talented, his virtues were in vain and he was considered a celebrity. He was considered the worst of the eight conspirators under Yuan Shao's command.

Jushou, Tian Feng, Xu You, Fengji, Shenpei, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, and Xun Chen are the eight masterminds. Some of them are incompetent, and some are undercover agents from the beginning, but no matter which one they are, they are superior to Xu You in terms of character. .

Jushou "has little ambition, but is good at strategy". In 189 AD, he was Han Fu's farewell driver, worshiped as the captain of cavalry, promoted Maocai, and served as county magistrate twice.

He once proposed a good strategy to Han Fu, but it was not adopted. After Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, he was appointed to supervise the internal and external, and Megatron three armies, and helped Yuan Shao capture Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou to unify Hebei.

Jushou once proposed to Yuan Shao to flatter the emperor, oppose the separation of the schools, and proposed a strategy of exhausting Cao for three years, but Yuan Shao did not obey. Not only was it not adopted by Yuan Shao, but his military power was weakened.

But even so, Ju Shou still did his best in the Battle of Guandu, and proposed a slow-moving tactic, which was still not adopted.

On the eve of the burning of Wuchao, Jushou once again proposed to protect food on the outside, but was not accepted. After Yuan Shao's defeat, Jushou was captured. In this case, he still refused to surrender to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao treated Xu You generously until Jushou wanted to return to Hebei, and he killed Jushou after the defeat. Cao Cao once sighed: "If we get together early and alone, the world has nothing to worry about."

Although there are certain compliments and exaggerations in these words, Ju Shou's character and ability are indeed worthy of praise.

It's a pity that Yuan Benchu's pen and ink were too little, which also led to the lack of achievements of his civil servants and generals. Zhang Yun was later ranked among the "Five Sons of Good Generals". Excessive, but the record is only a few words.

During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was appointed as an official in the prefecture, and he was promoted as a magistrate. He had two county magistrates. He had little ambition and was good at strategy.

In 189 AD, he bid farewell to Han Fu and paid homage to the captain of the cavalry.

In 191 A.D., when Han Fu was planning to sell Jizhou, Ju Shou, Chief Shi Gengwu, and Biejia Min Chun advised him: "Although Jizhou is small, there are millions of people who can wear armor and go into battle, and the food is enough to last ten years.

Throughout Liu Bei's life, he has experienced more victories than defeats, especially the battles of burning Bowangpo and Hanzhong, which were completely commanded by Liu Bei himself.

However, in Romance, these credits are basically shared by others, and the military level in Romance is greatly weakened.

The reason why Gongsun Yue recommended Liu Bei as Prime Minister of Pingyuan is because he is indeed capable and can share the pressure from Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

Secondly, since Liu Bei has no intention of helping each other, and he has to be on guard every day if he stays by his side, it is better to maximize his role.

After coming to Beiping City, Liu Bei did not hesitate to recruit talents everywhere, especially went to Peking Academy the most times, and met with Lu Zhi frequently.

No one would be at ease if such an unstable factor was left in Beiping City, especially when he was away on an expedition.

As the sky became darker and darker, the seventh day of defending the city was finally passed. There were less than [-] intact defenders. Lu Zhi and Liu Yu were already arranging defenses for the inner city. Once the outer city could not be defended, they would withdraw to The inner city continued to hold on.

After attacking the city for seven consecutive days, Gongsun Zan's army was in a worse situation than the defenders. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but their morale was low, and they were already pessimistic about whether they could capture the city.

At the hour of the eighth day, Zhao Yun and Tian Kai continued to lead the cavalry into battle after the cooking was done. In the past few days, there had been no small battles, and both sides had lost thousands of men each.

Although the Wuhuan Tuqi commanded by Murong Ke had some upper hand in terms of the proportion of battle damage, but the Wuhuan Tuqi had no supply of troops and would only fight less and less. The supply of soldiers is sufficient, gradually closing the gap.

After Zhao Yun and Tian Kai led the cavalry around the mountain, it didn't take long before there was a deafening shout of killing. It was not much different from usual, and Gongsun Zan's army had long been familiar with it.

"Continue to attack the city, the city of Yuyang must be taken down today!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"dong dong dong"

With the sound of dense drums, the siege battle started again for a new day, and the gunpowder smoke that had been silent for a night rose into the sky again, covering the whole sky with a lot of gray.

"My lord, the situation seems to be a little wrong. The ten thousand cavalry led by Renyong and Zilong fought against Murong Ke's cavalry. In the past, they were evenly matched. Why is the shout of killing so much weaker today?
Hearing Tian Yu's reminder, Gongsun Zan's mind tightened, and he had a bad feeling. Before he could react, a large army had already rushed out from behind the mountain.

The cavalry led by Tian Kai and Zhao Yun fled in front, and the men and horses behind chased and killed them. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the camp.

"Tiger and leopard rider, kill!"

"Tiger and leopard rider, kill!"

"."

Hearing the cries of those cavalrymen, all the soldiers in Gongsun Zan's camp turned pale with fright. The tigers and leopards rode fiercely. These people had seen it with their own eyes during the Battle of Jieqiao, and immediately caused chaos.

"Catch Gongsun Zan alive and reward him with a thousand gold!"

"Catch Gongsun Zan alive and reward him with a thousand gold!"

"."

Seeing that the cavalry was getting closer, Gongsun Zan quickly gathered the surrounding soldiers and horses to build a temporary defense.

"Shan Jing, Guo Rang, hurry up to support Ren Yong and Zi Long, you must block the tiger and leopard cavalry for me!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Shan Jing and Tian Yu led the assembled five thousand cavalry and left the camp roaringly. Seeing that there were reinforcements, Tian Kai and Zhao Yun stepped aside from both sides.

"die!"

Li Cunxiao, who took the lead, pierced the leading Shanjing with just one blow. Tian Yu was lucky, and he was facing Yang Zaixing. Fortunately, I didn't lose my life.

Seeing that he failed to win the opponent with one blow, Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment, but the army charged forward, and there was only one chance to fight, so he could only continue to kill the enemy in front of him.

"My lord, the tiger and leopard cavalry are amazing in battle. Li Cunxiao is invincible. Shan Jing and Guo Rang's [-] soldiers and horses won't last long. Zilong Hu and I will fight you out first!"

Seeing that Tian Kai and Zhao Yun's battle robes were bathed in blood, and there were less than five thousand soldiers behind them, it was obvious that they had gone through a hard battle.

"Tian Kai! Retreating now will only lead to the defeat of the army. This general will give you a chance to redeem your sins. Even if you fight to the death, you must stop the tiger and leopard cavalry!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Facing the onslaught of the army, Gongsun Zan remained calm in the face of danger. On the one hand, he ordered Zhao Yun and Tian Kai to lead the army to fight back, and on the other hand, he commanded the infantry to build a three-dimensional defense of fences, horse repelling, spear shield soldiers, and crossbow soldiers.

"Crossbowmen, fire three salvos!"

Although his cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry were still mixed together, Gongsun Zan still directly ordered the crossbowmen to shoot arrows. As the arrows fell from the sky, the melee cavalry, regardless of enemy or friend, fell off their horses one after another.

"Tiger and leopard rider, kill them!"

Seeing that the arrows were so dense that they could not get close to Gongsun Zan's camp, Li Cunxiao commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry to break through the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, Tian Kai, and Tian Yu again.

Of the [-] cavalry led by Zhao Yun, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Tian Yu, there were only more than [-] cavalry left at this time. Absolute advantage.

Moreover, Beiping is very close to Fan Yang. If Liu Bei and Liu Yu get together, it is very likely that the situation that has finally settled down will become a mess again.

It took nearly two hours to negotiate the details, and the entire Jizhou counties began to turn like a sophisticated machine, preparing for the upcoming war.

In addition to preparing for the next battle, there is another major event in Beiping City, which is the wedding of Gongsun Yue, Cai Yan, and Yang Zhaojun, and the time for dispatching troops is set on the third day after the wedding.

The entire Beiping city was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere, and there was no sign of a war at all, but it was a different situation when it came to the military camp outside the city.

After Zhao Yun resigned as the commander of the Wushuang Battalion, he began to train the soldiers of the Fifth Army of the Huben Army, Xu Huang served as the commander of the Tenth Army of the Youwu Soldiers, and Han Meng served as the commander of the No.11 Army of the Youwu Soldiers.

As for the Third Army of the Huben Army and the Sixth Army of the Youwu Army, they had secretly gone to Hejian County in batches, but Chen Ping, Xu Rong and Ta Dun still stayed in Beiping City, preparing to leave after attending the wedding. It is to paralyze the enemy's spies.

After several months of preparation, Gongsun Yue finally met Cai Yan, and also met Yang Yuhuan again after a month.

After staying with Yang Yuhuan for half a month, Gongsun Yue had to admit that he was indeed infatuated with her, and finally realized the feeling of Tang Xuanzong not thinking about food and tea.

On this day, the entire city of Beiping turned into a sea of ​​red, full of festive atmosphere. Although he had restrained himself, he was still slightly drunk.

Thinking about Cai Yan for so long, Gongsun Yue naturally wanted to go to her room first, while Yang Yuhuan was temporarily put on hold in the East Wing.

"Yan'er, you miss me so much, don't leave in these three days, you and Luzhu stay with me, we will go to war in three days!"

Gently uncovering Cai Yan's red hijab, Cai Yan, dressed up this day, is a bit more gorgeous than before, and under the candlelight, she looks even more charming.

"General, there is a beautiful woman waiting for you, and sister Qiang'er also needs you. How can you spend time with me and Luzhu? I don't want to be blamed by the two of them."

"It's Yan'er, you are sensible, stay with you tonight, and decide whether to go to Yu'er's place later. A moment in the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, so don't waste time."

Looking at Gongsun Yuehou's anxious look, Cai Yan had a shy face, but there was still a hint of expectation.

After dressing casually, he kissed Cai Yan and Lu Zhu on the heads, and Gongsun stepped out of the room, tiptoeing to the next scene.

"Yu'er, let you wait, I haven't seen you for a month, but I miss you to death."

"General, I don't believe it. If you miss me, you won't come here for so long. I think you want sister Yan'er more."

After getting along for a long time, the jealousy in Yang Yuhuan's nature was also revealed. After Gongsun Yue uncovered the red hijab, she began to lie in her arms and act like a baby.

"Yu'er, I'm here. I haven't seen you for a month, and I miss you very much. Don't worry, I'll be here with you for the rest of tonight."

"General, I haven't seen you for a month, and I miss you every day. You can see that my family has lost a lot of weight."

Looking at Yang Yuhuan, who was round and jade-like in her arms, Gongsun Yue really didn't notice that she had lost weight, but she had become a little haggard.

Yuan Shao looked up to me as a foreigner and a poor army, just like a baby in the palm of an adult, if you don't feed him, you can starve to death immediately, why give him Jizhou? "

For this excellent suggestion, Han Fu did not agree, but insisted on giving up Jizhou, and ended up dying in the toilet.

In 195 A.D., Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty went into exile to Hedong and other places. Ju Shou advised Yuan Shao to welcome Emperor Xian and move the capital to Yecheng.

After hearing this, Yuan Shao planned to follow Jushou's advice, but Chunyu Qiong and others believed that it was too difficult to revive the Han Dynasty, and welcoming the Han Emperor would weaken his own power, so they advised Yuan Shao not to use this strategy, so Yuan Shao gave up.

The following year, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian and moved his capital to Xu County with the support of Xun Yu, successfully coercing the emperor to make the princes.

In 200 A.D., on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Jushou gathered the clans, distributed their wealth and said:

"If Duke Yuan wins at Guandu, we will be all-powerful, but if we lose, we can't even keep ourselves. It's really sad!"

Jushou's younger brother Juzong disagreed and said:
"Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are not enough for us, brother, why are you afraid?"

But Jushou could see Cao Cao's talent and said:

"Based on Cao Yanzhou's general strategy and the emperor's capital, although we defeated Gongsun Zan, the soldiers were exhausted, the general was arrogant, and the army was ruined in one fell swoop. Yang Xiong said: 'Chi Chi of the Six Kingdoms, to win the weak concubine', That's it."

At Guandu, Yuan Shao marched into Liyang, sent Yan Liang to attack Liu Yan, and Ju Shou persuaded:

"Yan Liang has a narrow personality. Although he is brave, he should not be appointed alone." He objected to Yan Liang leading the army alone, but Yuan Shao refused to listen.

Later, Cao Cao rescued Liu Yan and beheaded Yan Liang. Before Yuan Shao crossed the river, Jushou thought that Yuan Jun should stay in Yanjin and divide his troops to attack Guandu. Yuan Shao still didn't listen.

Jushou lamented that his illness was gone, Yuan Shao hated him for this, and handed Jushou's remaining troops under Guo Tu's command.

After Yuan Shao crossed the river, he stationed in the south of Yanjin, and sent Liu Bei and Wen Chou to challenge Cao Jun. Cao Cao led the army to defeat him, and Wen Chou was killed by Cao Jun, which shocked Yuan Shaojun.

After Cao Cao returned to Guandu, Ju Shou said to Yuan Shao: "Although the troops in Hebei are numerous and powerful, they are not as brave as those in Henan. Henan has less food and less wealth than Hebei.

Henan is good for quick battles, Hebei is good for slow battles, and slow resistance prolongs the war. "It was suggested to consume Cao's army with a long-term and slow-advancing tactic, but Yuan Shao refused to obey.

Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao, defeated at first, shot arrows into Cao camp from a tall building, but was defeated by Cao Jun's stone chariot later.

Later, Cao Jun defeated Yuan Shao's transport team, and Yuan Shao ordered Chun Yuqiong to lead the transport team and guard Wuchao.

Jushou also suggested that Jiang Qi be sent as an escort to prevent Cao's army from attacking, but Yuan Shao refused.

After Wuchao was defeated by Cao's army, Yuan Shao's generals Gao Lan and Zhang Yun surrendered to Cao, causing Yuan's army to be in chaos and defeated. Yuan Shao fled across the Yellow River with [-] cavalry.
