The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 379 Battle of Suiyang
Jushou saw that Yuan Shao was fooled by Guo Tu into dispatching troops, but Feng Ji remained silent as if acquiescing to Guo Tu's plot. Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with this move and immediately attacked Jushou. As for the charges?If you don't have one ready-made, you can make one up!
"That's enough! I've lost my mind! Are you questioning a certain decision? Someone pull Jushou down! Put him in prison!"

At this time, Yuan Shao had been completely fooled by Guo Tu, and he was not moved by Jushou's remonstrance. He even thought that Jushou was questioning his prestige, and Yuan Shao, furious, ordered Jushou to be taken into custody.

If Lu Heng had been present, he would have been convicted of the remonstrances of his counselors, turning from counselors into sinners, what a pity!sad!ridiculous!

Following Yuan Shao's roar, there were naturally guards who came to detain Ju Shou. Ju Shou was full of grief and indignation, and he broke free from the guards and walked out of the hall by himself. Jushu had such prestige among his close followers that he already had murderous intent as soon as he narrowed his eyes!
"My lord! Judging from the information, Lu Heng has deployed defensive forces from Dingtao, Liang, and Suiyang. Deploying defenses everywhere means that there is no defense. As long as our army gathers all the main forces and storms through the defense line, the other cities will be as if they are empty. "

After Jushou was kicked out of the hall, Guo Tu triumphantly continued to talk about his plan. On the map, the point that Guo Tu said to attack was Suiyang!But Yuan Shao looked at the map but was puzzled: "Why attack Suiyang? Instead of Qiao County and Dingtao?"

"Dingtao is one of the few fortified cities in Yuzhou, and the attack will definitely cause serious losses. On the west side of Qiaoxian County, there are Fengxian and Danxian counties that can be used as the second line of defense. However, Suiyang in Liang State is different. Although this place is governed by Liang State, the city is not strong. A breakthrough can bypass Dingtao and Qiaoxian, go directly to Peiguo and Xuzhou further east, and breaking this place is equivalent to breaking the center of the defense line."

After Guo Tu's analysis, he did analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Lu Heng's defense line. Although Guo Tu has various problems, he does have some resourcefulness, otherwise he would not be able to fall into Yuan Shao's eyes, and he is one of the eight great advisers!

"Order the troops from all walks of life to return to Yingchuan to gather, Guo Tu is the military adviser, and a certain person personally sends troops to attack Suiyang! Chunyu Qiong and Jiang Qi transported Wuchao's grain and grass to Xu County."

"No!" The generals agreed.

"Escorting grain and grass again!" Chun Yuqiong accepted the order superficially, but he was very dissatisfied with the task of escorting grain and grass!
But he was helpless and didn't dare to resist at all. Ju Shou was a lesson learned from the past. What can Chunyu Qiong do?
"My lord! Even if we send troops, the population of the area occupied by our army will be removed by Cao Cao. It is also necessary to relocate the population from Hebei to enrich Yuzhou."

After Yuan Shao calmed down a little, Fengji brought up the matter of relocating the population again. From a strategic level, Fengji agreed with Jushou's strategy. Unfortunately, Guo Tu messed up everything first this time. At this point, he can only follow up to plan a remedy, otherwise it will also be a violation. Yuan Shao's anger.

"Well! In this case, Yuantu (Fengji character map) will be handled by you."

"promise!"

Then Yuan Shao made up his mind to attack Lu Heng. After the troops of Lu Junyi, Han Qiong, and Zhang Yun left some defenders, they all returned to Xudu with the main force. As soon as the three armies left the city, Jinyiwei sent the news to Yu Yunwen and Lu Heng.

Yu Yunwen waited in strict battle, while Lu Heng ordered the Jinyi Guards to check the direction of Yuan Shao's main attack at all times. If it wasn't Suiyang that everyone judged, they could adjust their defenses while Yuan Shao's army was marching.

Fortunately, as Lu Heng's advisers expected, it took more than ten days to November, and Yuan Shao's army finally dispatched in the direction of Suiyang, the seat of Liang Guo!

Yuan Shao took Han Qiong as the vanguard, and arrived at Suiyang without any hindrance. He looked suspiciously at the city built on the Sui River. In Han Qiong's impression, Suiyang was not the strong city it is now. The big flag with the word "Du" is flying, and the moat formed by drawing Sui water is one zhang. The standard city wall of the city is two zhang high. You can see that there is a high wall built by a circle of wooden buildings in front of the city wall.

In addition, the woods around the city have been cut down long ago, and the manufacture of siege equipment has to transport wood from other places, not even stones. It is obvious that Lu Heng's army is fully prepared in Suiyang. Han Qiong's plan for Guo Tu Doubts arose!
Han Qiong was not in a hurry to attack the city but chose to set up camp, and waited calmly until Yuan Shao's main army, Du Gao, Li Zhu, Lu Wenlong, Yang Zaixing, Lao Niu, and Shi Shouxin watched Han Qiong build up barracks one after another.

Lu Wenlong and Yang Zaixing are brave heroes, they called for battle the first moment Han Qiong came, and vowed to rob the camp to give Yuan Shao a head-on blow, but Du Gao suppressed the generals' mood to fight, and ordered to fight without authorization!
Fortunately, Du Gao's excellent ability to lead the army won Liang Guo and convinced the generals before, otherwise there would be discord between the generals in the army at this time.

A few days later, Yuan Shao arrived with a mighty army. Even Yuan Shao had seen Gongsun Zan Yijing's defense and Suiyang with complete defense facilities, and felt a toothache. He looked at Guo Tu with scrutiny, making the latter sweat DC hurriedly defended: "Such a defense shows that Lu Heng also knows the importance of Suiyang, as long as he breaks through Yuzhou here, he will be in the lord's pocket."

"The army builds the siege equipment, everyone leads the ministries to fill up the moat, and prepare to attack the city in seven days!"

"promise!"

Yuan Shao may be the prince who fought the most siege battles in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he may not be one of them. The experienced Yuan Shao ordered the construction of siege equipment and ordered the generals to fill up the moat in three days.

From now on, thousands of Yuan Jun, guarded by large sculls and iron shields, stared at the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen, and threw sandbags into the moat one by one.

At this time, Du Gao only let the crossbowmen on the wooden tower condescend to shoot arrows, and the sharp weapons such as the eight-ox crossbow and the catapult did not seem to be used at all. Once again, the generals were puzzled. Yang Zaixing couldn't help but say: "Boss , The day before yesterday I was going to fight, but the general refused, and now that Yuan Shao has already attacked the city, why only the crossbowmen are allowed to shoot, but not the eight-ox crossbow and the catapult?"

Du Gao looked around. Except for Yang Zaixing, Lu Wenlong, Niu Gao, and Shi Shouxin all looked at him with doubtful eyes. Only Li Zhu nodded slightly at Du Gao. Obviously, this counselor who joined Lu Heng's command at the same time as him had already guessed. own intention.

"Previously you were not allowed to fight because you doubted everyone's bravery. Yuan Shao just defeated Cao Cao and won the victory. His army is as powerful as a rainbow, like a sword that has just been unsheathed. You should avoid its edge. At this time, Yuan Shao has just come into contact with our army. Just using the eight-ox crossbow and the catapult, Yuan Shao will besiege us instead of attacking, and turn to other lines of defense, it is better to show weakness first and let Yuan Shao feel that I can't wait, so that Yuan Shao's main force can be attracted here!"
