Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 233 18 Soldiers, Yuan Shu Overwhelmed With Confidence

Autumn September.

Guan Yu's soldiers came to Xiapi, beheaded Xiapi Xiang Ruorong, and ordered the Buddhist temples in Xiapi not to occupy the fertile land.

In the same month, Guan Yu spread a message to all counties in Xuzhou, using Yuan Shu's driving troops to violate the territory as an excuse, and dispatched troops to conquer the traitor Yuan Shu!

Guan Yu's Xiandeng camp, Cao Bao's Danyang soldiers, Zang Ba Sun Guan's Langya soldiers, and soldiers from Xuzhou counties who had been conscripted gathered towards the Huaihe River.

From Xuyi to Huaiyin, relying on the Huaihe River to deploy defense lines.

same month.

Cao Cao withdrew Pengcheng's soldiers and horses back to Qiao County, and also sent a message to all counties to punish the rebellious minister Yuan Shu.

Cao Ren led a vanguard of 5000 men and went down the Wohe River, targeting Shouchun.

The sudden conquest immediately stunned Yuan Shu.

"Guan Yu will go south to set up a defensive line, I have already expected it."

"Liu Bei will not give up Xuzhou easily."

"But Cao Ah concealed it. Is it because you want to fight against me purely?"

Shouchun City.

Looking at Cao Cao's proclamation, Yuan Shu's anger reverberated in his heart.

The former Wang Jun came to lobby Yuan Shu, but was dismissed by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu also asked Wang Jun to go back and tell Cao Cao that after killing Tao Qian, he would withdraw from Xuzhou, otherwise Cao Cao would be killed.

And now.

After Cao Cao killed Tao Qian, he indeed withdrew from Xuzhou.

But Cao Cao, after quitting Xuzhou, came directly to fight Shouchun!
"The eunuch's grandson, a dark, short fat man, a slut who snatches a bride!"

"Sure enough, Cao Aman is the most ruthless and ungrateful."

The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the angrier he became.

Now Sun Jian's conquest of Jiangdong is at a critical moment, and he cannot easily withdraw.

Otherwise, the war against Jiangdong will be in vain.

Yuan Shu was very angry.

Every time the goal is about to be achieved, someone will make trouble!

Yan Xiang remonstrated: "General Sun has not yet returned, so it would be unwise to go to war with Cao Cao and Guan Yu at the same time."

"It's better to withdraw General Ji Ling temporarily, and give Xiapi Kingdom and Guangling County to Guan Yu. Guan Yu won Xiapi Kingdom and Guangling County, and he will not come to Huainan in a short time."

"Yuan Gong gathered all his troops in Huainan to resist Cao Cao. Huainan has a lot of soldiers and food, and it is enough to hold on."

"The longer the delay, there will definitely be conflicts between Cao Cao and Guan Yu."

Yan Xiang's idea is quite good.

Although Yuan Shu is relatively useless, if he just chooses to stick to it, Huainan cannot be easily taken down by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was eager to defeat Yuan Shu, but Guan Yu was able to take his time.

The longer this time dragged on, the stronger Guan Yu's control over Xuzhou became.

Although he wanted to conquer Yuan Shu, Liu Bei did not set a time limit for Guan Yu. Is it three months, half a year or one year?
however.

Guan Yu can afford it, but Cao Cao can't!

If you can't get the benefits in Xuzhou, if you can't even get the benefits in Huainan, then Cao Cao will really be in vain.

The more impatient Cao Cao is, the easier it is to make mistakes.

The Yuan family can watch the changes quietly in Shouchun.

Unfortunately.

If Yuan Shu could listen to such defensive opinions, he wouldn't be Yuan Shu.

"Shou?"

"You let me guard?"

"I have 18 soldiers and horses in Huainan. There are many soldiers and generals, and there is enough food and grass. Would you let me guard?"

Yuan Shu rejected Yan Xiang's advice on the spot.

Yan Xiang was speechless.

18 million soldiers?
This can also scare those who don't know the inside story.

Do your own people still need to say such absurd words?
Among the 18 soldiers and horses, can you pick out [-] young and strong?
Have these [-] young men been trained?Are you full every day?

How many soldiers are eating mussels to satisfy their hunger?
Yuan Shu looked like a dude of a family who said "why not eat minced meat", and it didn't matter what the soldiers ate at all.

As long as Yuan Shu eats well, and Yuan Shu's generals eat well, that's enough.

"Yuan Gong, if you don't defend, it will be difficult to separate Cao Cao and Guan Yu."

"Now that General Sun has not returned, fighting on the third front, if there is a slight mistake, the defeat of Fengqiu City will be repeated."

Yan Xiang, persuading him, didn't notice Yuan Shu's gradually gloomy expression.

The defeat of Fengqiu City has always been Yuan Shu's pain.

Not only did he lose miserably, but he also lost the Chuanguo Yuxi!
"Come here, take off Yan Xiang's hat, fork it out, and put him in prison." Yuan Shu gritted his teeth: "A poor scholar is worthy of discussing important matters with me."

Yan Xiang was suddenly dumbfounded.

How did I become a poor scholar?
"Yuan Gong, loyal words are harsh!" Yan Xiang still wanted to defend himself.

But the warriors only listened to Yuan Shu's order, and immediately took off Yan Xiang's hat and forked Yan Xiang out.

Yuan Shu scanned the civil and military circles, and said in a gloomy tone, "Who else wants to persuade me to stick to Huainan?"

Yan Xiang was taken off his crown and sent to prison, who would dare to stick to it?
"Liu Xun, I will give you [-] troops to fight against Cao Cao in the lower reaches of the Guohe River."

"Qiao Rui, I'll give you [-] troops to fight Xiaopei."

"Zhang Xun, I'll give you [-] troops to go north and take Pengcheng."

"Lei Bo and Chen Lan, each of you command [-] soldiers, go to Guangling to take Langya and Jieshi."

"Then send an order to Ji Ling to bypass the guards from Xuyi to Huaiyin and directly take down Picheng."

"I personally supervise the army to fight Guan Yu!"

"Seven roads go hand in hand, who can resist?"

Yuan Shu was in high spirits.

More soldiers is capricious!
However, this is not the taste in the ears of the generals.

It sounds like there are [-] soldiers per person, and those who fight Xiaopei, Pengcheng, Langya, Jieshi and Xiapi can barely fight.

After all, there are few defenders.

But Liu Xun, who resisted Cao Cao, was uncomfortable.

Twenty thousand mobs, going to fight Cao Cao?

What is the difference between this and death?

"Yuan Gong, Cao's army is powerful, with [-] soldiers, it is really hard to resist!" Liu Xun was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Everyone, my family and I are all in Shouchun City. Gone."

The generals were also panicked.

All the generals present had no idea what the soldiers in Huainan had become.

How could [-] soldiers resist Cao Cao's tiger and wolf soldiers?
Qiao Rui thought of the two beautiful daughters at home, and hurriedly came out and said, "Mr. Yuan, Xiao Pei is too far away. Even if he wins, he will be alone."

"The last general is willing to resist Cao Cao with General Liu."

Zhang Xun also said: "Duke Yuan, now Cao Cao and Guan Yu are invading the country. It is not suitable to use the tactics of besieging Wei and saving Zhao. Finally, the general is willing to resist Cao Cao with General Liu and General Qiao."

Liu Xun, Qiao Rui, and Zhang Xun were all going to resist Cao Cao, and Lei Bo and Chen Lan were not far behind.

One of them was going to fight Langya, and the other was going to fight Jieshi. Aren't they all going deep alone?
Lei Bo came out and said: "Duke Yuan, the last general thinks that there is no need to divide the army into two groups, but only need to resist Cao Cao, Xu Tu and Guan Yu are enough! Last general Lei Bo, please order to resist Cao Cao."

Chen Lan also hurriedly begged for orders: "The last general, Chen Lan, please resist Cao Cao! If you don't break Cao Cao, you will never return."

The armies of the Five Routes were going to fight Cao Cao one after another, and Yuan Shu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

however.

Facing Yuan Shu's sharp gaze, Liu Xun and the other five all lowered their heads and remained silent.

The meaning is very clear.

If you don't want to go out of Huainan, just resist Cao Cao in the lower reaches of the Guohe River.

"A bunch of trash!" Yuan Shu cursed angrily, "If you can't stop Cao Cao, I will definitely punish you all after I come back."

But none of the generals were willing, and it was difficult for Yuan Shu to force the generals to leave Huainan.Liu Xun could only let the five men command [-] soldiers each to block Cao Cao.

If he disagreed, Yuan Shu could only accept Yan Xiang's proposal and stick to Huainan to wait for the opportunity.

But this is not what Yuan Shu wants!
What Yuan Shu wanted was to attack Xuzhou, take Xuzhou, and then capture and kill Cao Cao.

After Sun Jian pacified Jiangdong, Yuan Shu would have three prefectures.

Among the three states, who is still the opponent?
in private.

Liu Xun, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo and Chen Lan got together.

"The situation is not good. Cao Cao and Guan Yu suddenly want to fight Shouchun. I always feel that Yuan Gong can't hold it." Liu Xun was worried.

All five of them are now assigned to fight against Cao Cao in the lower reaches of the Guohe River. They are all prosperous and all of them are harmed by each other. Naturally, they are not worried that someone will inform them.

Zhang Xun also said: "In the battle of Fengqiu City, we have already seen how powerful Guan Yu is. At that time, Guan Yu's troops were far inferior to ours."

"Now that Guan Yu is the shepherd of Xuzhou, with the help of soldiers from Qingzhou, how could Duke Yuan resist it?"

Qiao Rui said: "Hey, it's normal that Yuan Gong can't beat Guan Yu. But Yuan Gong can't beat Guan Yu, so he can withdraw his troops and return to Huainan. What I'm more worried about is, will I be able to stop Cao Cao?"

Lei Bo said: "We have [-] soldiers and horses, and Cao Cao has [-] troops at most. Cao Cao has few enemies, and he is still attacking the city. As long as we hold firm, we can still stop it?"

Liu Xun said contemptuously: "One hundred thousand soldiers, can there be [-] soldiers who can fight? How many times have these [-] soldiers been trained? They can't even eat enough to eat, and expect them to resist Cao Cao?"

"Except for our respective personal guard battalions, the rest of the soldiers are mobs, not even as good as the black mountain bandits. How can we stop them?"

Lei Bo was silent for a moment.

Chen Lan said: "But if we can't resist, what should we do?"

The generals suddenly became silent.

Now Yuan Shu's most capable soldiers and horses are in the hands of Sun Jian and the other is in the hands of Ji Ling.

The rest are all mobs.

It's hard to stop, but it can't be stopped
Liu Xun said harshly: "Why don't we take advantage of Yuan Gong to fight Guan Yu, and I will send all the family members to the Marquis of Hefei first."

"If we can stop it, we will stop it. If we can't stop it, we will take our own guards to Hefei Marquis."

"I'll wait for the five generals to add up, and there will be 2000 people in the Guards Battalion."

"If the Marquis of Hefei can't stay, I'll just take over the mountain and become king, which is better than following Duke Yuan to die."

Liu Xun's proposal was quickly approved by Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo and Chen Lan.

Following Yuan Shu to grab the powerful Huainan family, the five generals are capable generals.

But if you really want to fight Cao Cao, no one wants to fight to the death.

Yuan Shu didn't know that Liu Xun and the other five had the idea of ​​running away. After mobilizing [-] troops, they rushed towards Xuyi in a mighty manner.

These generals are unreliable, Yuan Shu can only go into battle himself.

Although he lost to Guan Yu last time, Yuan Shu didn't think he was inferior to Guan Yu.

"The defeat of Fengqiu City is because I didn't expect Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Zhang Miao to come."

"Even Xiang Yu can be defeated by ambush on all sides, and it is very reasonable for me to lose to ambush on all sides."

"But this time it's different, Guan Yu won't have another chance to invite allies."

"Cao Cao is blocked in Guohe, and Liu Bei is also in Qingzhou. I can attack Guan Yu with all my strength."

"Hmph! This time, I want to avenge my shame."

And in the direction of Peiguo.

Seeing that five flags of Liu Xun, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan had been erected in the lower reaches of the Guohe River, with [-] soldiers and horses, Cao Ren felt very troubled.

Five thousand to one hundred thousand, Cao Ren did not have the courage.

The messenger hurriedly sent the general situation to Cao Cao, the Chinese army.

"One hundred thousand soldiers, Yuan Gonglu really thinks highly of this general." Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

Xi Zhicai said: "Most of Yuan Gonglu's Nanyang soldiers and Yuzhou soldiers were lost in Fengqiu City and Runan, and Sun Jian was attacking the Jiangdong counties again. The [-] soldiers are probably the same as the Black Mountain bandits. They are all old and weak, women and children."

"The ones who can fight are less than [-]!"

Guo Jia added: "I heard that Yuan Shu wanted to collect money and food in Huainan, but he didn't organize the common people to cultivate."

"The people in Huainan are mostly poor, and many of them have fled outside."

"Yuan Shu's soldiers actually rely on mussels to satisfy their hunger."

"It's impossible for a group of hungry soldiers to participate in much training, and it is estimated that they can recognize a handsome flag."

"Such soldiers, let alone [-], [-] are also mobs."

Cao Cao laughed: "Yuan Gonglu is a dignified son of the Yuan family, but he looks like a bandit."

"As long as he organizes the soldiers and common people to farm in Huainan, he will not let the soldiers eat river mussels to satisfy their hunger."

"Such ability, if he hadn't been born in the Yuan family, he would have starved to death on the street."

Guo Jia laughed and said, "The more brutal Yuan Shu is in Huainan, the more people in Huainan will look forward to the arrival of Duke Ming."

"Fighting crimes against the people, Ming Gong is the righteous man who saved the people of Huainan."

Guo Jia's flattery made Cao Cao very useful: "The general is determined to help the Han Dynasty, and naturally he wants to save the people of this world."

"Yuan Shu has no virtue. When he was in Nanyang, the people of Nanyang complained, and when he was in Yuzhou, the people of Yuzhou complained. Now in Huainan, he still does not change his mind."

"Let this general save the suffering Huainan scholars and people, haha!"

The loud laughter was Cao Cao's contempt for Yuan Shu.

The first son of the Yuan family is nothing more than that!

Xu Yi.
Guan Yu gathered his troops here.

Yuan Shu's dispatch of troops and generals did not hide from Guan Yu's spying.

Huainan's information is too easy to spy on!
Guan Yu's spies only need to give a bucket of grain and rice to buy several Yuan Shubing.

"Yuan Shupifu, you really don't have a long memory."

"If a general doesn't understand the soldiers, can't share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and can't distinguish between rewards and punishments, how can he make the soldiers sincerely serve?"

Although Yuan Shu had [-] soldiers and horses, plus Ji Ling's [-] soldiers and horses, [-] soldiers and horses attacked Xuyi with great momentum.

In Guan Yu's eyes, Yuan Shu's [-] soldiers are nothing but a group of people who put in bids and sell their heads, and they are local chickens and dogs.

"Your Majesty, the strategy this time should be a little simpler." Chen Deng on the side also spoke.

When he was in Fengqiu City before, Guan Yu was too cautious because he calculated too many possibilities and accidents, and ended up taking Yuan Shu's Fengqiu City easily.

This made Guan Yu feel like cutting mosquitoes with a crescent knife.

"Although Yuan Shu is incompetent, we can't be too self-confident." Guan Yu kept Zheng Ping's advice in mind, and said, "Let's use the strategy of luring the enemy. Guan will go to lure the enemy himself, and Mr. Yuan Long will be in charge of the ambush."

Chen Deng nodded.

It is a very common strategy to use both the strategy of luring the enemy and the strategy of ambush.

Although not very clever, it is more than enough to deal with Yuan Shu.

Both Guan Yu and Chen Deng were worried that if the strategy was used too cleverly, and Yuan Shu could not afford to be fooled, it would be uncomfortable.
