Chapter 234 Sending Troops South ([-])
Just when Gongsun Yue sent troops, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Youzhou were all involved in the war.

It was Yuan Shu who had problems first. Seeing that Lv Bu had suddenly obtained so much food, supplies, precious armor and good horses, but he had gotten nothing, his mind suddenly became unbalanced.

"You all talk, why? Why did he, Lu Fengxian, get so many supplies? Look at the stinky fish and rotten shrimps who got the supplies. What qualifications do they have to compete with me, the son of the Yuan family who came from the fourth generation and the third father?" !"

The more Yuan Shu talked, the more angry he was, and he swept the bamboo slips all over the table to the ground. If Yan Xiang hadn't been there to persuade him during this period, he might have fallen out with Lu Bu completely.

On the one hand, it was because of Yuan Shu's short-sightedness, and on the other hand, it was also because of Lu Bu's short-sightedness and lack of winking. He only had [-] Bingzhou cavalrymen under his direct lineage.

"My lord, now that a great war is about to start, we should unite all forces that can be united at this time, otherwise, if we lose in this great war, no matter how much we have, we will lose it.

Although Lu Fengxian's [-] soldiers and horses are not many, they are all elites in all battles, and they are rare generals in our army. We must let him serve our army first.

After the dust settles this time, the lord can do whatever he wants. If Xiao Qiang is caused by a disaster before the war, the consequences will be disastrous.

Once we violate the covenant, no one will trust us, and we will be surrounded by powerful enemies. We can only struggle to deal with it, and I am afraid that we will not be far from defeat! "

"My lord, what the military adviser said is very true. What we have to do now is to win the war. We will talk about everything after this war is over!"

"I'll just say why the old men of the three fathers didn't show up here. It turns out that they were in cahoots with Huo Qubing and Lu Bu. They abandoned me and returned to Luoyang. It's extremely shameless!"

"People's hearts are in such a state of confusion, who else can believe it? Woohoo! The world is in danger! The 400-year-old Han River is in danger."

"The rebellious soldiers will enter the city soon, and you can only wait for death if you stay here. Everyone, go back to your home and ask for blessings!"

"."

A group of civil and military people outside the east gate went back to their residences cursing. In the face of life and death, the ugliest side of human nature was exposed. What they hated was not Lu Bu and Huo Qubing themselves, but that they didn't bring themselves with them.

"Old thief Wang Yun! Why is Grand Master Dong guilty of helping the country? You killed Grand Master Dong, and you still bewitched the emperor to listen to the cholera program by the side of the emperor. I, Li Jue, can't wait to eat your flesh, sleep on your skin, and drink your blood!"

Standing on the city gate, Wang Yun looked at the densely packed Xiliang iron cavalry below the city. Before he died, he still maintained the character of a veteran of the Han Dynasty, pointing at Li Jue and Guo Si and yelling at him.

These retreating infantry soon met the infantry led by Gongsun Zan who came to support them. Although Gongsun Zan personally took the lead in killing dozens of retreating soldiers, there was still no effect.

Under the impact of the rout, the infantry led by Gongsun Zan quickly scattered and fled in all directions. Seeing that the situation was over, Gongsun Zan had to escape under the protection of dozens of cavalry guards.

After the formation was completely cut open, the iron chain chain horses still did not stop, and continued to drive away the rout soldiers, attacking Gongsun Zan's camp.

Seeing the enemy fleeing in all directions, the defenders in Yuyang County also opened the city gates and joined the battle. The vast plain was soon divided into small battle circles, and more people were fleeing. .

"Flying Tiger, Flying Leopard, lead a thousand soldiers and follow me to pursue Gongsun Zan. We must not let him return to Zhuo County, otherwise, once he recovers, he will be in great trouble."

"My lord, you are still here to command the army. The matter of chasing Gongsun Zan is left to the last general, and the flying leopard doesn't need to go. You are here to protect the lord and continue to expand the results of the battle here!"

After Li Cunxiao finished speaking, he ordered a hundred tiger riders and left the army, chasing in the direction where Gongsun Zan left.

"Zai Xing, although Cun Xiao is brave, but he led only a hundred tiger riders to pursue him, he might be in a tough fight, you quickly bring five hundred leopard riders to support him!

If you go after him, you must bring one person back alive. It is Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, understand? "

"My lord, it's fine to leave this place to the last general. You and Mr. Yuan Kai will also go down to have a rest, and sit in the county office to make arrangements. If the east wall is breached by Yuan Jun, the last general will come to see you!"

Seeing that the east wall had already blocked the most violent attack, the more Gongsun knew to stay here, it made Di Qing feel scruples and took care of the two of them, so he no longer insisted on staying here.

"Hanchen, you are one of the few generals in our army who can stand alone. After the war here is over, I still count on you to sit in the south and take care of yourself!
Remember not to be stingy with the crossbow arrows, if they are gone, they can be remade, which can reduce the number of casualties for the brothers. Once Yingxiang and his reinforcements arrive, it will be time for a decisive battle. "

"The lord cherishes the soldiers, and the general understands that after a lot of painstaking efforts, he will not let the brothers sacrifice in vain at will!"

After leaving the eastern city wall, Gongsun Yue did not return to the county government office immediately, but inspected the other three city walls to confirm the situation before returning to the county government office to rest.

The east wall was guarded by Di Qing, the south by Han Qinhu, the west by Li Cunxiao, and the north by Qin Qiong.

The 1st Youwuzu Army guarded the eastern city wall, where the pressure was the greatest. The remaining [-] soldiers of the Youwuzu Fourth Army were evenly distributed with [-] soldiers from the [-] Youwuzu Third Army on the south, north, and west sides. The second army of the sudden cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry are the reserve team, ready to support at any time.

On the first day of attacking the city alone, Yuan Jun killed more than [-] people in battle. After losing more than [-]% of his soldiers, except for consuming a lot of arrows and defense equipment from the defenders, he did not even climb to the top of the city once.

"My lord, our army does not have an absolute advantage in strength, and a strong bow and crossbow are useless. Today, more than ten thousand brothers have been lost. We can no longer attack like this. Let's retreat!"

In Yuan Shao's large tent, the atmosphere was gloomy and gloomy. All the generals in the tent had red eyes, mixed with anger and fear. Although they were all experienced in battle, they still had lingering fears about today's siege.

"My lord, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the last is to attack the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort.

Now that our army is at a disadvantage in all aspects, and it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is better to suspend the war and wait for the next year to plan carefully and start all over again. We can't lose all our family fortunes! "

Seeing that both Shi Wansui and his most trusted adviser, Ju Shou, suggested withdrawing troops, and other civil and military opinions were probably the same, Yuan Shao finally made a decision after thinking for a while.

"Forget it, withdraw your troops!"

Yuan Shao, who spit out these words, was in a low mood. This time he joined forces with Liu Biao to attack Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu was defeated, the loss outweighed the gain. He not only lost the six prefectures west of Qinghe River in Jizhou, but also lost a lot of soldiers and horses. The battle situation in Jingzhou is not optimistic either. .

After receiving Yuan Shao's order, the army withdrew back to Linxi County overnight, leaving only the empty camp.

"General Shi, General Yan, Qinghe Kingdom is very important to our Jizhou, we must guard this place well, if Qinghe Kingdom is lost, this general will ask you!"

On the second day after returning to Linxi County, Yuan Shao couldn't wait for his troops to return to Wei County. Liu Shi Wansui and Yan Liang led 2 troops to stay in Qinghe State, and ordered Qu Yi and Zhang Yun to lead [-] troops to Bohai County. The soldiers and horses left in desperation.

"My lord, Yuan Shao's army has already left overnight, will our army pursue it?"

Early in the morning, Di Qing, Li Cunxiao and others came to the county government office to report the movement of Yuan Jun outside the city. Gongsun Yue hurried to the east wall, and sure enough, the camp was empty.

Facing Yang Zaixing's question, Gongsun Yue didn't speak, but led his troops to continue strangling those stubborn soldiers, leaving only Yang Zaixing stunned in place.

"Master, what is the meaning of this, my lord?"

When Yang Zaixing was at a loss, he saw Chen Ping smiling beside him, so he rushed to ask about it, wanting to clear up his doubts.

"General Zaixing, my lord's meaning couldn't be more obvious. My lord cherishes Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong's bravery, so I told the general to save this man's life.

As for General Gongsun Bogui, although it would be unfair to send troops to attack Liu Youzhou, he is the elder brother of the lord after all, if he is captured alive, wouldn't the lord be in a dilemma? "

After being instructed by Chen Ping, Yang Zaixing suddenly understood, clasped his fists in salute, ordered five hundred leopards to chase after him.

"Hugh and leave Gongsun Zan!"

Not long after Li Cunxiao pursued with a hundred tiger riders, he saw Gongsun Zan's figure. The roar of the tiger made Gongsun Zan tremble with fear.

"My lord, don't worry, Yun Yuan will lead the army to stop it and buy time for my lord!"

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he and Tian Yu led three hundred cavalry, turned their horses and rushed towards Li Cunxiao.

"Five-arrow crossbow, shoot!"

Although Zhao Yun and Tian Yu commanded many soldiers and horses, the five-arrow crossbow could fire five arrows at a time, and dozens of cavalry were killed in just one round of shooting. It's less than two hundred.

"Zhao Zilong, look at the lance!"

Li Cunxiao sat down on the red ghost horse with a red mane and galloped like lightning. As soon as the shout reached Zhao Yun's ears, King Yu was already close in front of him.

Zhao Yun didn't dare to be careless, so he raised his spirits and put a night light on the jade lion's belly. He held the gentian silver spear in his hand to block forward. attack.

Li Jue and Guo Si were also aware of the situation in Chang'an City, and were rendered speechless by Wang Yun's words, but the matter had come to this point, naturally there was no way out.

Li Jue, Guo Si, and Ran Min led an army of three thousand flying bears, and quickly broke away from the Xiliang army, and pursued in the direction of Huayin.

Two hours later, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Ran Min had already seen the Tianzi's frame, and Huo Qubing and Lu Bu naturally also saw the flying bear army chasing them.

"General Huo is in trouble. Li Jue brought the most elite [-] Flying Bears from the Xiliang Army to chase after him. Since our [-] Bingzhou cavalry are no match, the most urgent thing now is to save our lives first!

Their goal is the Son of Heaven. As long as the Son of Heaven is in our hands, they will chase after him. General Huo, keep the green hills and don’t worry about running out of firewood. Why don’t we let the Son of Heaven go for now, and welcome the Son of Heaven back to the east after uniting with the princes of the Kanto region? ! "

Huo Qubing scoffed at Lu Bu's proposal, and despised him for his frightened behavior before the battle.

"General Lu, Huo swears to protect His Majesty to the death, if you are afraid, run for your life earlier!"

Lu Bu, who was choked, looked very ugly, but for the sake of his own life, he had to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.

"General Huo, Dong Zhuo died in my hands, Li Jue and Guo Si will definitely not let me go, Shubu will go first!"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he took three thousand Bingzhou iron cavalry, abandoned the old carriage frame of the emperor and Sangong, and walked away directly.

Seeing that Yuan Huan and Yan Xiang had the same opinion, although Yuan Shu's chest was heaving with anger, he calmed down a little.

"Alright, after this battle is over, get rid of Lu Fengxian, who has no eyesight, and that concubine Yuan Benchu, as well as Cao Aman, Xiang Yu and his ilk!"

Yuan Shu finally swallowed the breath in his heart, suppressed his unhappiness, and concentrated on dealing with the next thing.

"Gongyu, Yuan Hao, Ziyuan, you all talk about how to deploy our troops next. After the last battle at Jieqiao, our army's elite lost a lot, and now we have recovered a little vitality. There is a lot of pressure, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that the six counties in my hand will not be able to defend."

After the two-game losing streak, Yuan Shao had already cast a shadow over Gongsun Yue. Although he still looked down on Yuan Gonglu's self-proclaimed noble son, he had to pay attention to the two defense lines in the north.

"My lord, the outcome of this war is not in Bohai, nor in Qinghe County, but in Baima and Puyang. Only by quickly resolving the war in the south can we turn around and face Gongsun Yue in the north.

Ma Lai refused to visit and reported that Gongsun Yue had sent an army of [-] to Guangzong City, vowing to take down Linxi City. General Su was under a lot of pressure. "

"Send troops, send troops! I don't have any soldiers to send. Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in hand, most of them are recruits, and their combat effectiveness is really worrying.

Yuan Hao, there are [-] soldiers at Quyi in Bohai Sea, and they are all veterans who have experienced the war. How about sending some soldiers to support General Su? "

Qu Yi rebelled against his former superior, Han Fu, and Yuan Shao has always been uneasy about letting him control such a large force.

In particular, Qu Yi found all sorts of reasons not to carry out the military orders he had sent to dispatch troops several times, with a vague intention of becoming a vassal on his own.

"My lord, our army can't stand the civil strife now, we must stabilize Qu Yi first, otherwise if Qu Yi rebels, it will be even worse.

So now we can't transfer the troops of Bohai County, and we must stabilize them first. Even if we send people to send military orders now, it won't help. Qu Yi will never follow the orders. "

Xu You still adhered to the same principle as before, and opposed everything that Tian Feng agreed with, but this time what he said made sense, Tian Feng opened his mouth, but did not say any rebuttals after all.

"Gongyu, what do you think of the situation?"

Yuan Shao frowned and looked at the most powerful Jushou under his command. The current situation is not optimistic, and he still needs to listen to the opinions of other advisers under his command.

"My lord, now it depends on whether Xianbei in the east, Gongsundu in Liaodong, and Qianghu in Bingzhou can successfully contain the troops. As long as the two states of You and Ji are unstable, Gongsun Yue will have limited troops to go to the battlefield, and the pressure on General Su will also increase." much smaller.

And what I am worried about now is that Gongsun Yue went to Guangzong to support him with great fanfare. It is very likely that the plank road was built in the open, and Chen Cang was hidden. "

After listening to Jushou's words, Yuan Shao's complexion changed. Now it seems that the troops in Bohai County can never be mobilized, and Qinghe County can't support them. Right now, Su Dingfang can only stand firm, and at the same time send people to urge the eastern Xianbei, Liaodong Gongsundu and Bingzhou Qiang in the north. Hu stepped up.
