Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turbans finally revolt

Chapter 441 Yuan Shu has a chance of life, Guo Jia's serial plan

After a day and night of fierce fighting, the next morning, when the sun rose, Gao Shun and Xu Huang stood facing the southeast.

In front of him is Yingchuan County, and behind him is Henan Yin.

"Chen Ji was vulnerable, and he fled in the middle of the night. As soon as Xuanyuan was broken, our army could reach the city of Luoyang just like Sun Polu!" Xu Huang laughed.

"Gongming is too optimistic. There are Dagu Pass and Yique Pass ahead. Maybe the difficulty lies later." Gao Shun said.

"I don't think so. Yuan Shu is self-reliant and goes deep into the three assistants. Now that the lord is planning a joint attack, Yuan Shu will be difficult to control. Look at the front and back. Filial father, look, if you and I need to divide our troops, I will send troops to the new city to cut off Yuan Shu." Connection with Nanyang?" Xu Huang suggested.

Gao Shun put his hands on the battlements, feeling the sun gradually warming up, and unconsciously tapped the wall with his fingers.

"Gongming, the military advisor's order is for you and me to attack Luoyang together. Do you think the military advisor will fail to realize that the new city is Yuan Shu's way out?"

When Gao Shun asked, Xu Huang fell into deep thought.

What Gao Shun said is very reasonable, such an important point, the military adviser should not have missed it.

"Since the military division didn't arrange it, it should be done on purpose." Xu Huang said.

"Then we will follow orders!"

"Okay, filial father, after a night of fierce fighting in the camp, take the time to rest and clean up the battlefield, I will do it!"

Gao Shun looked around at the wall, many soldiers were exhausted from fighting all night, regardless of whether there was a sea of ​​corpses or blood around them, they just slumped on the ground and fell asleep with their pillows on the wall.

"Thank you, Gongming." Gao Shun didn't refuse, turned around and walked down the city.

……

"Report-"

"Urgent report—"

"Yuan Gong, Chen Ji urgently reports that Xuanyuan Pass is lost!"

Yuan Shu's expression froze when he heard the military report, Chen Ji was not an unknown person, and Xuanyuan Pass was so steep, it shouldn't have fallen in such a short time no matter what.

However, the reality actually happened. Once Xuanyuan Pass was breached, Liu Qingjun could attack Luoyang directly, or he could go north to join forces with Zhang Liao's army to attack Gong County, putting Qiaorui under even greater pressure.

"Report-"

"Yuan Gong, Hongnong urgently reported that the Baibo army forcibly crossed the river and succeeded in raiding Shan County. Now the Baibo army has marched towards the Strider Pond."

When Yuan Shu heard this, he slapped the table and scolded: "What is Li Feng doing! He lost a city in just a few days, and ordered him to guard the Strider pool. If the Strider pool is lost, he will not come back!"

Yuan Shu quickly scanned the map and found the Strider Pond. After the Strider Pond is Xin'an, and after Xin'an is Hangu Pass.

"Yuan Gong, it is rumored that when the two generals Han Sui and Yan Xing attacked Hangu Pass, there were many Baibo troops operating in the Hongnong area." The letter reported.

"Quickly summon Chang Shi...wait a minute, call the chief secretary to discuss the matter!"

Yuan Shu habitually wanted to call Yang Hong, but when he thought that the current strategy was arranged by Yang Hong, but there were no bad news, he thought of Yan Xiang's conservative defensive strategy.

Not long after, Yan Xiang appeared at General Hushi's residence.

Yan Xiang was not surprised after hearing the two pieces of news. He dispersed his limited troops to defend various places, and General Ji Ling and Zhang Xun went deep into the pass, and it was difficult to return in time. As long as there was a battle, he would fall into a passive position.

However, the King of Bohai seized Yuan Shu's key points and adopted a four-line battle method, which prevented Yuan Shu's army from cooperating. Guanzhong.

Now Hongnong is being dragged back by the Baibo army, and Luoyang is in a state of overwhelming enemy force. If the armies still cannot return to help, Luoyang will be in danger.

"Lord Yan, tell me, what should I do now?"

"My lord, looking at the western front, for the current plan, we should abandon Hongnong and garrison Hangu to block the Baibo army. As for the eastern front, we should defend along the way. It is better to just guard the key areas and garrison Gong County. Our army's supply line is too long. If we withdraw to Yanshi, Liu Qingjun's supply line will be lengthened, and right now, weak advantages and disadvantages may determine the outcome of the battle, Yuan Gong think twice."

Abandoning Hongnong and Gong County, Yuan Shu didn't feel very good, at least he was very resistant in his heart.

"Really, do you want to abandon the defense?"

"Exactly, and the sudden withdrawal of troops is very deceptive. If the enemy general is suspicious, it may be able to hold back for a while." Yan Xiang said.

"Then what about Li Feng and Ji Ling?"

"Naturally, I ordered them to return to Hangu Pass as soon as possible. My lord, Liu Qing's army is marching every day, so there must be no hesitation."

"If we follow the Master's order, can Luo Yang be kept?" Yuan Shu asked.

"If you can't keep Luoyang like this, according to the function, Luoyang is not the Lord's blessed land." Yan Xiang said boldly.

"Nonsense! The slave brother of my family has summoned the army to challenge Dong several times in an attempt to fight back Luoyang. However, the success fell short. Now this Luoyang is still in the hands of my Yuan Shu!"

Seeing Yuan Shu's excited words, Yan Xiang didn't say much.

"Xuanyuan Pass, do you want to send someone to help?"

"Yuan Gong, Xu Huang and Gao Shun went down to Yingchuan first, and then to Xuanyuanguan. The momentum is in full swing, and the morale must be high. If our army is not sure of victory, we should not reduce our troops and go out."

The meaning of Yan Xiang's words is very clear: no support.

If Chen Ji can defend it, he will defend it. If he can't, he will come back to defend Luoyang. He didn't even mention the responsibility for the loss of several cities.

Yuan Shu thought over and over again, and decided to use Yan Xiang's method to shrink the front line, gather as many troops as possible, shorten supplies, and defend around Luoyang.

After Yan Xiang left, he was the only one left in the huge lobby of the General's Mansion.

Unconsciously, Yuan Shu's eyes fell on the Jade Seal of Chuanguo again.

"Baby, baby, since you are in my hands, how can you say that I have no destiny with Luo Yang?"

Yuan Shu sat alone in the lobby, his figure was lonely, and it was dusk as he sat.

……

"Cai'er, slow down..."

In the palace garden, Liu Qing just wanted to reach out to help Xuncai, but he avoided it in disgust.

"My lord, it's only been two months, don't be so careful! I can still bounce around."

As he said that, Xun Cai was about to jump, but was immediately pulled back by Liu Qing.

"Nonsense!" Liu Qing reprimanded, "It's always right to be careful! Just bear with it!"

"I want to ride a horse." Xun Cai thought again.

"The horse is jolting, don't!"

"I want to visit Fangshi."

"The market is crowded, don't do it!"

"Oh, my life as a concubine is so hard..." Xun Cai said coquettishly.

"Look at these flowers, how beautiful they are. Enjoying the flowers in the garden, isn't it fragrant!"

"Husband, just let me go out and play."

Ever since Liu Qing learned that Xun Cai was pregnant and he didn't know how to take care of it, he could only let her treat it with care, and Xun Cai's temperament couldn't be idle, Liu Qing simply grounded her in the palace.

"Be patient, wait for Cai'er to give birth smoothly, and this king will give you whatever you want!"

Liu Qing directly turned on the mode of painting big cakes.

"Really?"

"This king can make jokes when he speaks!"

"Okay! Then I will bear with it!"

I walked around the garden, but after a quarter of an hour, Xun Cai started to mutter again: "Your Majesty, I want to visit Fangshi..."

Xun Cai's ability to delay gratification is almost zero.

At this time, Dian Wei walked over aggressively and whispered something in Liu Qing's ear.

"My king has military affairs to discuss, so you can walk away and enjoy the sun more." Liu Qing said softly.

Although Xun Cai loves to make trouble, but when there is business, he is serious, and immediately nodded obediently.

This is why Liu Qing likes Xun Cai, he is good at acting and making trouble, and he is sensible.

When Liu Qing came to the bookstore, all the staff members were already waiting here.

General Xun Yu reported it first.

First, Xuanyuan Pass was breached in one day and one night, and then Zhang Liao's soldiers occupied Gong County without bloodshed. The two battles in Henan seemed surprisingly easy.

"Yuan Shujun's layout has changed. It seems that they plan to defend Luoyang to the death." Guo Jia said.

"Where does Fengxiao come from?" Liu Qing asked.

"My lord, Yuan Jun still has soldiers and horses in the west of Hangu. It is really hard to predict that my lord will trigger the Fufeng Change in such a short period of time, defeat Han Sui, and combine the strength of the four armies so quickly to attack Luoyang. Yuan Jun Unexpectedly, there are only a few cities around Luoyang that can be defended now, and they are even ready to withdraw to Nanyang."

"Our four armies jointly attack, how can we let him escape easily! If he escapes to Chang'an, maybe this king will take some time."

"Yuan Shu will never flee to Chang'an." Tian Feng answered.

"Why?"

"Yuan has no foundation in Jingzhaoyin. Without Han Sui's help, he would not even march into Guanzhong. Now Han Sui is defeated and fled to Xiliang, and Jingzhaoyin Sima Fang expresses his allegiance to His Majesty and the great Han. In this way , is there a place for Yuan Shu in Chang'an?"

Guo Jia continued, "If that's the case, our army will also prevent Yuan Shu from fleeing westward to Chang'an. No matter what, Hangu Pass must be controlled by our army!"

"Since Yuan Hao said that Yuan Shu would not flee to Chang'an, why did he rush to capture Hangu Pass?"

Liu Qing was puzzled, marching in haste and attacking the city in a hurry, even if it succeeded, it would mean greater casualties and losses. Liu Qing was born as a budget-conscious businessman, and he naturally resisted such risky actions.

Guo Jia explained: "My lord, although Yuan Shu will not escape to Chang'an, don't forget the Hongnong Yang family. If the two sides collude, it will be a big trouble. Most of Hongnong County is adjacent to Nanyang. The road is dangerous, but it may not be Yuan Shu's retreat, and the reason why I did this is because I am in another place, and I have prepared a retreat for Yuan Shu."

"Oh? You gave Yuan Shu a retreat? Where is it?"

"The first line of the new city." Guo Jia replied.

"Aren't Gao Shun and Xu Huang nearby? Why did Feng Xiao let Yuan Shu escape?"

Guo Jia looked around.

"It's okay to be blunt!"

"Jia once heard that the lord is worried about the troubles of the Xiliang army."

"What does this have to do with the Xiliang Army?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands, "My lord, I sent people to inquire about the remnants of Li Ru and Niu Fu, and learned that their last activity area was in Xincheng, and then fled south. Now, they are stationed in Huoyang Mountain. You make a living by looting Yuan Shu's Nanyang supply line, if Yuan Shu's main force cannot escape from Nanyang, and encounters Niu Fujun in Huoyang Mountain, when does my lord think it will happen?"

"It's not difficult to imagine that the enemy's road is narrow, and the two armies are one." Liu Qing replied.

"To be precise, Niu Fu must be defeated!" Guo Jia corrected.

"Why so sure?"

"The Xiliang army is cavalry. Fighting in the mountains, how can they defeat Yuan Shu's army who has been fighting in Nanyang for a long time? What's more, Niu Fu's remnant army is defeated. Even with Li Ru's plan, there is no way to recover. If we can solve this Xiliang army along the way Remnant soldier, didn’t Yuan Jun do a good thing for the lord?”

Liu Qing smiled, Feng Xiao really has you, Liu Qing almost forgot about those remnants of the Xiliang Army.

It was helpless to do so. The Xiliang army was almost all Qiang and half Qiang. Liu Qing could not treat them equally at present, and their existence was really a big hidden danger to the farming order in the Central Plains.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang warlords attacked each other, and the historical tragedy of the Guanzhong catastrophe, Liu Qing was unwilling to repeat it.

Li Ru is not a good person, and Liu Qing has no feelings for Niu Fu. If Yuan Shu solves it, Liu Qing really doesn't care.

Moreover, Liu Qing drew inferences from one instance and thought of Guo Jia's next plan.

Yuan Shu fled back to Nanyang, who did he conflict with?Naturally, it was the Xiliang Army led by Jia Xu and Li Jue.

At that time, no matter who wins or loses, Liu Qing will always win.

Even if Jia Xu made great achievements and defeated Yuan Shu, the Xiliang army would suffer a great loss, and it would be much smoother to really surrender to Liu Qing in the future.

"Feng Xiao really took great pains, but this plan is very good!" Liu Qing expressed his appreciation for this plan, and there is no need for Guo Jia to explain the struggle in Nanyang again.

Everyone here is smart, at least smarter than Liu Qing.

Speaking of Niu Fu, one can naturally understand the situation of Jia Xu and Li Jue.

Liu Qing said: Guo Fengxiao was the one who came up with the idea, and Yuan Shu was the one who did it, and it has nothing to do with me.

This king is the king of benevolence!

At this time, Xun Yu also said: "Give Yuan Shu a chance, the battle of Luoyang will save him from fighting a trapped beast."

This point is similar to Siege and Siege Three, with the net open.

"Okay! Feng Xiao, you and Yuan Hao will issue the specific military order together. If there is any disagreement, we can discuss it again. If it goes well, the battle will end in August. After the autumn harvest, this king plans to attack Chen Wang and Yuan Shao again!"

Guo Jia Tianfeng listened, and both took orders.

When Xun Yu heard this, he had a headache. After the autumn harvest, the food and grass were not warm enough, and he was going to attack again.

The reason why Liu Qing was in such a hurry was because of another news.

Sun Jian had already won the battle in Jiangxia. Now, whether he continued to attack Changsha southward or took advantage of the situation to seize Jiangxia, he had a good chance.

The story of Sun Jian underestimating the enemy's death may not happen, but Sun Ce grows up day by day, but it is unstoppable. Once the Sun family is allowed to gain a foothold in Jingzhou or Yangzhou, Liu Qing is still afraid of the power of Sun Polu and the little bully.

Or, try to send someone to solicit first?
What if he surrendered?

However, there seems to be no good candidates under the account.

Everyone dispersed, leaving Liu Qing alone in the study. Liu Qing picked up a blank silk book and spread it out in front of him.

There is no one, so let's repair the book by ourselves!

"General Sun Xunqi..."

Liu Qing began to write, expressing his respect for Sun Jian in the battle between Ping Huangjin and Yu Foreign Clan, and then expressing his regret for being bewitched by Yuan Shu, expressing his appreciation for his resolute departure from Yuan Shu, and then scolding Yuan for being rebellious and impermanent, plotting rebellion... …

He called on Sun Jian to respond to the court's order to ask for Yuan's order, not to be an enemy of his clan, but to fight with Yuan's family if he wanted to fight. Jiangxia is very close to Nanyang and Runan.

I hope Sun Jian can understand the situation and return to the embrace of the court...

And so on.

Liu Qing looked at his masterpiece of persuasion, and blew on the ink to express his satisfaction.

"Should I send it directly, or ask Wen Ruo to polish it?"
