Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 396
"Now Marshal Yue has led his troops to fight Cao Ren and Yang Xuangan in Qiao County. Jiang Song took the opportunity to lead his troops back to Runan. We only have an army of [-] people now. If we want to attack the important land of Runan, we need a strategy."

In Chen Qingzhi's army, several generals were sitting together, and Zhuge Liang was informing them of the fighting situation in the entire Runan area.

"General, brother Jiang Song and I have a very good relationship. Now that Yuan Shu has made the world angry and people complain, I am confident that I will surrender to him and ask him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Luo Cheng felt very guilty now, thinking that it was the matter between him and Xian Niang that made Liu Xie and the Xuzhou army very passive. Therefore, after learning that Jiang Song had withdrawn, he was willing to go personally to talk about surrendering him.

There were not many generals left around Yuan Shu. If Jiang Song turned against him, there would only be two first-class generals left, Ji Ling and Lan Yu.

Both of them are mediocre, and no matter how many soldiers Yuan Shu has, it will be difficult for him to command smoothly. He is no match for their ten thousand Xuzhou elites.

"Okay, if Jiang Song comes to surrender, it is indeed the first achievement!"

Chen Qingzhi was overjoyed when he heard this. Jiang Song was very difficult to deal with. After fighting with Yang Xuangan for so long, Yang Xuangan never got the slightest advantage. It was also very difficult for them to attack Runan.

"Without further ado, I'll go right away!"

Seeing that Chen Qingzhi was so relieved of him, Luo Cheng immediately gave the order, rode out of the camp and rushed towards Runan.

"General, what are we going to do now?"

When Yuwen Chengdu heard about the fierce battle in Qiao County, his hands were itchy and he wished he could fly over to fight Yang Xuangan and other generals of Cao's army in person.

"There is no need to worry in Chengdu. We are now in Pingyu, and to the west, one is Yuan Shu's home base of Runan, and the other is Yichun occupied by Zhang Fei. Now that we are coming fiercely, they may not unite. Want to resist us together.”

Zhuge Liang pointed to the detailed map of Runan with his feather fan and analyzed it to the generals.

On the battlefield, the situation is fickle. The former mortal enemy may become a life-and-death alliance in the next moment. Zhuge Liang is not surprised by the temporary alliance between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu.

He continued: "Yichun is only a medium-sized town. If they joined forces, Yuan Shu would definitely defend Runan, while Zhang Fei would lead his troops to station on the Tianzhong Mountain outside the city. We. When the time comes, they will have a large number of soldiers and horses, and we still need to set up formations to break their continuous horizontal technique."

Chen Qingzhi nodded. He and Zhuge Liang had discussed it a long time ago. After training their troops and horses, they could set up a large formation outside Runan City to defeat the enemy with less and defeat more.

All the generals were rejoiced when they heard this. They saw that Qiaojun was fighting fiercely. Although they belonged to the Xuzhou army, they couldn't help being envious. Now they are going to attack Yuan Shu and Liu Bei. His heart was satisfied immediately.

Chen Qingzhi immediately led the generals, taught the essentials of formation, and trained the formation.

Fortunately, all the soldiers under his command are Xuzhou's elite, who understand semaphore, know how to cooperate, and have the experience of breaking Luo into a long snake formation. So the training went very smoothly.

Not long after their training began, Luo Cheng also arrived in Runan and successfully persuaded Jiang Song to surrender.

It wasn't that Jiang Song betrayed his master and ungrateful when he saw the situation was not going well, but that he didn't take refuge in Yuan Shu, but borrowed Yuan Shu's influence in Runan to help him find his brother Jiang Wei.

Although Jiang Wei was not found, he had helped Yuan Shu resist Yang Xuangan for half a month, and he had already repaid his little kindness.

However, Jiang Song was still affectionate and righteous in the end. Although he was persuaded by Luo Cheng, he also asked Chen Qingzhi not to send him to fight Yuan Shu's troops and let him deal with Zhang Fei and Pei Yuanqing.

Chen Qingzhi understood immediately, probably Luo Cheng hadn't had time to tell Jiang Song what happened between him and Xian Niang recently.

Otherwise, according to Jiang Song's current loyalty, he would definitely be furious with Yuan Shu because of Luo Chengxianniang's matter, and he would be ruthless.

But he didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.

With Jiang Song's joining, although the number of soldiers and horses has not increased, their strength of 1 people has become much stronger again.

Seeing that the training of the large formation had matured, Chen Qingzhi led the army to attack Runan, checkpoints and towns along the way, but were defeated by Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong's army, and the army soon arrived outside the city of Runan.

Just as Zhuge Liang expected, Zhang Fei got Liu Bei's order and had to temporarily unite with Yuan Shu and station his troops on Tianzhong Mountain outside Runan City.

Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao were a little surprised by Liu Xie's aggressive attacking attitude, but they also felt that Liu Xie was too arrogant, and it was really unwise to fight several princes at once.

At the same time, Yuan Shao, who was dominant in Hebei, could not help Yuan Shang's jump after suppressing some Black Mountain bandits, and sent Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others to attack Qingzhou southward.

Unexpectedly, Xue Li was well prepared and deliberately used empty defenses to lure the enemy into the city. He then ambushed troops from left and right and used his elite troops to kill Yuan's army and defeat it.

During the chaotic battle, Yuan Shao's generals Chunyu Qiong and Lu Weihuang were killed by Di Qing and Ran Min. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were also defeated and injured by Zhao Yun and Gao Chong and fled.

Yuan Shao lost his troops and lost his generals. Knowing that Qingzhou had been prepared for a long time, he could only garrison troops in Pingyuan County, and then make plans.

But it seemed a little strange that even Yuan Shao, an outsider, participated in it, but Jiang Dong, whose envoy was ambushed, stayed still all the time, which seemed a bit strange and weird.

In fact, it wasn't that Sun Jian missed his old love and didn't want to take the opportunity to restrict Liu Xie.

But at this time, Qi Jiguang and Gan Ning led [-] elite navy troops to the south and stationed in Beihai to threaten Guangling County.

Tai Shici also led the troops to Xiapi, and after meeting with Liu Xie, he led the troops to station in the south of Xuzhou to frighten Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's situation was even worse.

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly sent troops to Jiangxia, as if to help Liu Xie, a man with the same surname, so that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu didn't dare to act rashly.

Although Liu Xie didn't know the reason for Liu Biao's sudden help, he still remembered it in his heart. He couldn't help but feel ashamed about Mrs. Cai's affairs. He made up his mind to take Jingzhou in the future and treat Liu Biao's queen well.

Liu Xie didn't know that Liu Biao's sudden increase in troops was actually related to Mrs. Cai and Cai Jue.

It's just that it's hard for him to find out such secret information. His attention is now on Runan and Qiaojun.

Facing Yue Fei's attack, Cao Cao did not intend to back down at all, and repeatedly sent fierce generals to Qiao County to support Cao Ren.

And Liu Xie was not unresponsive, and asked Liang Guo's Yang Zaixing to mobilize troops and lead troops to attack Cao Ren from the north whenever he had the opportunity, creating opportunities for Yue Fei's army.

On the other side of Runan, Chen Qingzhi had already set up a large formation outside the city, and invited Yuan Shu and Zhang Fei to break the formation.

But the situation is a bit embarrassing.

Yuan Shu saw that all the strong generals under his command were in Chen Qingzhi's army, including Yuwen Chengdu, Qin Qiong and other strong generals, so he didn't dare to go out of the city to break the formation.

Zhang Fei saw that Yuan Shu was not moving, so he stayed on Tianzhong Mountain obediently, and had no intention of rushing forward.

For a while, both sides ignored it, but it seemed that Chen Qingzhi's efforts were wasted.
