Chapter 239 Sending Troops Southward ([-])
Just when Yuan Shao responded, Cao Cao in Yanzhou also rushed to recruit civil servants to discuss, and after Xi Zhicai was captured, Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia as the mastermind.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think about sending troops to attack Yuan Shu with Yuan Shao?"

"My lord, although Yuan Shu has many troops, everyone in the world knows that he is extremely stupid, and he has a group of cowards under his command. There are very few truly capable men and strange men. It is really nothing to worry about. This battle will definitely be won.

Xuzhou Tao Qian is more than defensive, but not aggressive enough. He only needs to send a good general to defend, and the result will only be the same as last time.

As for the north, only a few soldiers and horses are needed. Jialiao Ding Gongsun Yue will not turn against our army at this time, but first needs to solve the six counties of Jizhou occupied by Yuan Shao and complete the unification of Jizhou.

So this time the lord not only wants to defeat Yuan Shu with all his strength, but also takes this opportunity to reverse the disadvantage and completely get rid of Yuan Benchu's control. "

"Wen Ruo, do you think the strategy of filial piety is feasible?"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, the most important talent, not only his own Xiao He, but also Zhang Liang.

"My lord, the plan of honoring filial piety is feasible, but it is not appropriate to break the face with Yuan Benchu ​​at this time. Our opponents are still Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Gongsun Yue and other princes.

Only when these vassal forces are completely resolved is the time for a decisive battle with Yuan Benchu, so you have to obey his orders now and continue to develop and strengthen your own forces. "

"How are you, my lord?"

Han Dang, who escaped from the ambush, met Cheng Pu and Sun Ce who came to meet him, and quickly put Sun Jian underground.

"Father!"

With the help of the torch, he saw that Sun Jian, who was covered in arrows all over his body, had only breathed out but not breathed in. Sun Ce let out a roar that shook the sky, and was about to rush back to kill those Huangzu soldiers who were in ambush.

"Young master, calm down, don't chase after him!"

Cheng Pu and Han Dang quickly hugged Sun Ce's arms, and with their strength, Sun Ce almost broke free.

"Cecer, don't chase after him!"

Hearing Sun Jian's voice, Sun Ce also calmed down, and quickly knelt beside Sun Jian, looking at Sun Jian who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"Father, I won't chase after you. Don't get angry. When you return to the barracks, find a military doctor to treat you. You must hold on!"

Sun Ce picked up Sun Jian and was about to leave, but Sun Jian shook his head to stop him. He knew his own physical condition, and Sun Jian knew that this time he really capsized in the gutter.

"Ce Ce'er, father is really going to die this time, in the future, you have to listen to the three uncles and rely on Yuan Shu's tent for now, and if necessary, you can donate the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Quan. Quan'er is right. Passing on the national jade seal is a disaster rather than a blessing. We don't want this thing anymore. The Sun family will rely on you in the future!

However, Yuan Shu is courageous and indomitable, short-sighted and not a master, although he can rely on him temporarily, he cannot stay for a long time. When the time is right, he should withdraw as soon as possible.

Ce. Ce'er, father is unwilling! "

After Sun Jian roared, full of ambition and unwillingness, he bid farewell to this world and closed his eyes.

The surrounding guards all looked sad and knelt on the ground one after another. Sun Jian sympathized with the soldiers when he was there. These guards have received a lot of favors, and now they feel the same way.

Judging from Chen Ping's words, he was not optimistic that Liu Yu could block Gongsun Zan, which was also the consensus of everyone in the hall.

In terms of the number of soldiers and horses, Liu Yu is not necessarily less than Gongsun Zan, but in terms of the elite level of soldiers and the ability of generals to fight, Gongsun Zan can surpass Liu Yu by a few blocks.

The generals under Liu Yu's command are only three or two kittens, and the civil servants have no one who is good at strategy. If they can stop Gongsun Zan, it will be a ghost.

"Mr. Wenjie, if there were no accidents on the road, Huanzhi should have returned to Yuyang by now, and it is too late to expand the army. If he didn't make his own decisions, he should have sent someone to contact Master Wuhuan Murong Ke by now."

Before Yan Rou left, Gongsun Yue told her that Murong Ke, Lord Wuhuan, could be trusted, and even wrote a letter specially for him to bring when he contacted Murong Ke.

Although Chen Ping, Di Renjie and others didn't know why Gongsun Yue trusted an independent Lord Wuhuan so much, they could only choose to trust Gongsun Yue's words.

"Mr. Wenjie, you should immediately write a handwritten letter and send it together with the seal letter to the State of Zhao, and transfer General Qin to lead the second army of the Huben Army to go north.

Feihu, Zaixing, Ziyi, lead the tiger and leopard cavalry as the vanguard, go north to explore the road first, don't underestimate the enemy and rush forward, lest you get caught in an ambush.

Tadun and Pfulu, you lead the third army of the Huben Army as the central army, and General Zhang Yan leads 5000 Youwu soldiers as the rear team. The military division and I will move together with the Chinese army.

This time the troops were dispatched very quickly, regardless of cavalry or infantry, all of them had one man and two horses. Except for the necessary weapons and armor, they did not bring the return cannon, eight-ox crossbow, and god-arm crossbow. Head to Yuyang to change defense. "

"Yes, my lord!"

After everyone went down to prepare, there were only Di Renjie and Chen Qun left in the hall. Their usual work was to sit in the rear, appease the people and transport food and grass. Although they did not go out with the army, they made great contributions.

"You two gentlemen, if the battle goes well this time, we won't have to travel back and forth in the future. The three counties of Julu and our families are in danger, so I have to trouble the two gentlemen to worry about it."

"My lord, don't worry, this is the duty of the lower official, and there will be no mistakes. If the lord has no other orders, the lower official will resign and prepare food and grass for the army to go out."

"The things that should be arranged have been arranged, the two gentlemen go down first."

"The officer will leave!"

After sending Di Renjie and Chen Qun out of the mansion, Gongsun Yue hurried to the backyard, cherishing the leisure time before the expedition, and spending more time with Wang Zhaojun.

"General, you only stayed for a month when you came back, and now you are going to go out again. I don't know how long the general will go out this time."

Although Wang Zhaojun understands that if it is not forced, Gongsun will not leave him when he is newly married, but he understands it, but he still has some emotions in his heart.

"Qi'er, if everything goes well this time, it should be stable for a period of time. Then I will spend more time with you and live a good life in the world of two."

Even though he said so, Gongsun understood more and more that in the next period of time, he might not be stable, and he was destined to go south and north, unless the world was truly settled.

Wang Zhaojun also understood that Gongsun Yue was purely comforting herself, but she was not so stupid as to expose it, but smiled and enjoyed the sweet time before parting.

On the second day, Li Cunxiao, Yang Zaixing, and Tai Shici led the tiger and leopard riders and left Guangtao County first. A day later, Gongsun Yue personally led the Chinese army and left Guangtao County to go north. The rear team followed two days later. Set off.

Just as Gongsun Yue sent his troops northward, Gongsun Zan also sent troops from Zhuo County. He led the elite all the way like a broken bamboo, defeating Xianyu Yin and Xianyufu in a row, beating Liu Yu's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to flee in all directions, and surrounded Jixian in just three days. .

When Liu Yu woke up, he found that the situation had changed suddenly. Gongsun Zan had already overwhelmed the situation, and the tens of thousands of soldiers he relied on were so unbearable. They were beaten to pieces and had no power to resist.

"Young master, bring the body of the lord back to the barracks. This matter must be kept secret, otherwise the army's morale will be in chaos, and everything will not be announced until they are evacuated to Fancheng!"

Cheng Pu was very calm, and quickly found the most suitable method. He strictly ordered everyone not to reveal the secret, and after violators would be killed immediately, he escorted Sun Jian's body back to the barracks.

"The whole army is ready immediately. The squadron will leave the barracks and return to Fancheng at tomorrow's hour!"

Under the dispatch of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, the army was busy but not chaotic. The news came out that Sun Jian was injured, so he had to return to Fancheng immediately.

Early the next morning, the defenders in Xiangyang City saw Sun Jian's army retreating from the city, and they all pointed and talked, not knowing why.

However, the formation of Sun Jian's army was not in disorder, and the defenders in Xiangyang City did not dare to pursue them, but watched them gradually go away. After they disappeared completely, all the soldiers defending the city cheered loudly.

"We won!"

"Sun Jian's army has withdrawn!"

"The enemy has retreated, we hold on!"

"."

When the news of Sun Jian's pursuit and attack came back to Xiangyang City, the army had crossed the Han River and arrived in Fancheng safely. Then the news of Sun Jian's death was announced, and the whole army returned to Huainan in mourning.

"My lord, it's a pity that Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, ended up in this way. Although he was brave and good at fighting, he relied on force and underestimated the enemy to advance aggressively. Such an ending is also expected."

"Sun Jian is dead, and my external worries in Jingzhou are gone. I remember that when the princes were begging for Dong, Sun Wentai swore that if he secretly kept the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, he would die under random arrows in the future.

Now that he really died under the random arrows, it seems that his destiny is manifest, and it seems that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is indeed in his hands, and Sun Jian died unjustly! "

"."

After receiving the news of Sun Jian's death, the state pastoral mansion in Xiangyang City had a heated discussion, and everyone was very excited, but Liu Biao was not happy with victory, and was still worried.

In this troubled world, it is not so easy to stay out of the matter. If there is the first Sun Jian who covets Jingzhou, there will be a second one. The prospect of Jingzhou is really worrying.

In Pingyu City, Runan County, Yuan Shu was admiring the singing and dancing beauties in the General's Mansion. He was half asleep and half awake, but when the news of Sun Jian's death came, Yuan Shu opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Go down, all down!"

After driving away the singer and dancer girl, Yuan Shu hurriedly recruited civil and military officials to discuss matters. Although he had been relying on Sun Jian to fight abroad, he was also worried that his tail would not be lost. Now he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, there is a report from the front line that Sun Wentai was shot dead outside Xiangyang City. Sun Bofu is escorting his father's body back to Pingyu. What do you think?"

An old man with gray hair and beard walked out from the two classes of civil and military. He looked hale and hearty. He bowed his hands to Yuan Shu and congratulated him.

"Congratulations, my lord, for getting rid of the serious trouble in my heart! Sun Wentai is a fierce tiger, and his grandson Bofu is even more brave than him, but he is still young and unstable, so my lord can boldly appoint him.

The lord is afraid that a general will be stationed in Fancheng to prevent Liu Biao from going north. Sun Jian's former troops, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other good fighters will be transferred to his command, and the strategic main attack direction will be changed to the north.

Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated by General Gongsun Ziqing in a row, and after being unable to retake the land of Jizhou to the north, he would definitely turn to form an alliance with Cao Cao, go south to fight the lord, and seek outward expansion.

Therefore, the lord should gather external reinforcements, raise food and grass internally, and actively prepare for the next battle. He should join forces with Jizhou governor Gongsun Yue and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian to carve up the remaining land and population of Yanzhou and Jizhou. "

After listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao seemed to remember something sad, his expression was quite sad, and he started to cry after thinking about it.

"Zhicai, I regret that I agreed with you to go to Hejian! I am so regretful."

After a while, Cao Cao's crying stopped. After wiping away his tears, he continued to discuss the matter. There were still a few traces of tears on his old face full of ravines.

"My lord's condolences. Judging from the news from the spies, Zhicai is living very well in Beiping. He is now the deputy military advisor under Gongsun Yue's command. Maybe we will see you again in the future."

"My lord, you are not responsible for this matter. You can only blame Mr. Zhicai for his bad luck. Let's continue talking about the current matter."

"."

And in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Tao Qian was convening civil and military discussions at the State Shepherd's Mansion. Although there is no general under his command who stands alone, but fortunately there are still a few second- and third-rate generals, and the Danyang soldiers who spent a lot of money to build are also worthy. use.

"Everyone, this time we are still the same as last time. We only need to send troops to make a show to contain Cao Cao. Tao is old, and he only hopes to keep this three-acre land and keep the people safe."

"Yes, my lord!"

Tao Qian had no enterprising spirit, and everyone under his command only wanted to hold on to the territory in his hands, but they hit it off and quickly reached a consensus.

In Xiangyang City of Jingzhou, after receiving the alliance order from Yuan Shao, Liu Biao also summoned his men and soldiers to discuss matters, hoping to take the opportunity to recover Nanyang County, gain strategic depth for Xiangyang City, and regain the Jingzhou gate.

"Everyone, once Nanyang is lost, Xiangyang is an open door. Don't let the opportunity of a thousand years go by. Degui, Shaowen, and Zhongye, all of you should set up the Xiangyang navy and take back Nanyang County from Yuan Shu. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my lord!"

The aristocratic families in Jingzhou were not active in expanding outwards, but they were very concerned about keeping the counties in Jingzhou. All the aristocratic families sent out their trilogy and handed them over to the three commanders to go north to take back Nanyang County.

Although no one contacted Lujiang County Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu still wanted to participate in this battle. After several months of recruiting, he had recruited more than [-] elite soldiers, and he had long wanted to show his hands.

It's a pity that all the princes didn't take him seriously. Xiang Yu, who was ignored, was a little upset, but he didn't plunge into the muddy quagmire of the melee in the Central Plains, but crossed the river and entered Jiangdong.

More than ten days later, Gongsun Yue arrived under Jiecheng with a large army. Di Qing and Du Yu had already made preparations and set up a continuous camp outside the city, as if a hundred thousand troops were coming.

"My lord, the siege equipment has been prepared, and the attack on Linxi City can be launched at any time. When will the attack be launched?"

In the military camp outside Beiping City, Gongsun Yue saw Di Qing, Yue Yun, Xin Qiji, Du Yu, Qianzhao, Wu Yan, and Nan Lou, while Guan Hai stayed in Julu City to defend.

"Hanchen, you are still in charge of the task of attacking Qinghe County this time. Although it is a smack in the face, it would be best if you can take advantage of the situation and win Qinghe County.

This attack on Qinghe County not only requires a real fight, but also a big fight. We must also take this opportunity to hone these recruits into veterans, so that they can grow up as soon as possible after seeing blood. "

"Yes, my lord!"

After receiving the order, Di Qing, Yue Yun and the others started preparations and made a detailed siege plan.
