Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is the state bordering Yangzhou.The two states are only separated by Yingshui, a branch of the Yangtze River.The west is Yangzhou, and the east is Xuzhou.

Xun You held the festival and was ordered to take Xiahou Dun to Xuzhou to dispatch troops and horses.

Xuzhou can be regarded as the hinterland of the Central Plains, but Cao Cao slaughtered countless cities in Xuzhou at the beginning, which was unpopular.Part of it is only separated from Jiangdong by the Yangtze River.

Xuzhou Yimapingchuan is not conducive to defense.

Therefore, there are as many as [-] soldiers and horses in Xuzhou.And Yanzhou is the real hinterland of the Central Plains. Cao Cao has been in Yanzhou for more than ten years, and it is very peaceful.

Therefore, there are only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.

Compared with Cheng Yu, Xun You is more stable.Xiahou Dun is compared with Le Jin.Therefore, although the four people went to Erzhou to mobilize troops this time, they were actually dominated by Xuzhou soldiers.

Xiahou Dun is the coach.

After Xun You and Xiahou Dun came to Xuzhou, they went straight to Pengcheng, the governor of Xuzhou.

After meeting with the governor of Xuzhou, Xun You immediately ordered to mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou to gather in Pengcheng.

However, although Xuzhou is not a big state, its territory is not small, and the princes of each county have different qualities.Therefore, when they really gathered [-] soldiers and horses in Pengcheng.

It has been more than ten days later.

In the governor's mansion of Pengcheng, Xia Houdun sat at the head, with Xun You at the bottom, and Fan Kuan, the governor of Xuzhou.

Fan Kuan is in his forties this year, but he seems to be only in his thirties by looking at his face, plus his graceful demeanor.Just know that this person is a child of a wealthy family.

At that time, Cao Cao massacred countless cities in Xuzhou, in order to appease the local people.So he appointed Fan Kuan, a son of a native Xuzhou family, as the governor.

"General Xiahou, the army has been dispatched securely now. Tomorrow, we will attack Shouchun, and we will surely defeat the bandits and drive the bandits out of Jianghuai." Fan Kuan said to Xiahou Dun with an excited face.

"Mr. Xie said it bluntly. It's just that Kou Feng is very difficult to deal with. In the battle of Jiangdong, more than [-] troops were mobilized. Now tens of thousands of Wu troops have been surrendered in Yuzhang. There are tens of thousands of people. Sigh." Xiahou Dun sighed, not very optimistic about the prospects.

Xiahou Dun, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, can be regarded as a fierce general.But in real history, his situation is worse.

Not a great record.And once, when the army was looking around, he was hijacked by an assassin.It is a disgrace to the military commander.

However, he also has advantages.

It is the confidant of Cao Cao's confidant, who sits in the rear, mobilizes food, and builds water conservancy.Excellent work.

What is the most important thing to the emperors of all time?Is it a counselor?Good general?All are important, but what is more important is a trusted confidant.

What's more, it's a troubled world right now.Today he is a general of Wu, tomorrow he may be a general of Wei, and the day after tomorrow he may be a general of Shu.

A confidant like Xiahou Dun is very, very important.

Among the eight most powerful generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family in history, Cao Ren is the most outstanding.But the most reliable one is Xiahou Dun.

Cao Cao also knows this confidant, but the shortcoming is that he is not good at commanding the army.Even if he is allowed to act as a partial teacher and advance as a general, I am afraid that he will be impressive.

But the commander-in-chief can't do it.

So, this time the nominal commander is Xiahou Dun, but the actual commander is sitting next to Xiahou Dun, the expressionless and dull Xun You.

Fan Kuan was originally full of confidence, but when he saw that the coach Xia Houdun was a bit hesitant, he couldn't help but hesitated.

"General, don't underestimate yourself. Now Xuzhou and Yanzhou have mobilized more than [-] troops. In the Jianghuai area, there were frequent wars and the people suffered unspeakably. It was the prime minister who pacified the Jianghuai area, so that they are now at ease. The people's will is the north. Feng will not be able to attack for a while. When we arrive with our army, we will be able to drive Kou Feng away." Xun You still had no expression on his face, but the words he said were quite inspiring.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.In the Jianghuai region, the Cao family is the protagonist.

"That's right." Xiahou Dun nodded, feeling a little more excited.

At that time, Yuan Shu occupied Shouchun and proclaimed himself emperor.After being attacked by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others, Shouchun fell so far, and was later occupied by countless bandits.

It was very confusing.In the end, Cao Cao set up Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou, to pacify Jianghuai.What the people want is Cao.

This is true.

It has always been a lot more comfortable to live in a place that wins the hearts of the people.

"By the way, sir, can the [-] horse infantry from Yanzhou arrive safely?" Xiahou Dun asked.

"There is no accident. Zhongde, Wenlian and the others can arrive tomorrow, have a round with us, and then enter Shouchun." Xun You was very clear about the information on the mobilization of these troops, and he couldn't help but answer in a smooth manner.

"That's good." Xiahou Dun nodded.

Kou Feng has more than [-] soldiers and horses, and so do they.In addition, Jianghuai is their territory. When fighting at home, they can also mobilize the people to defend the city.

This battle was really easy to fight.

Xiahou Dun couldn't help feeling excited.

Xiahou Dun and others are in the north, and the news is blocked.Knowing that Kou Feng was in Yangzhou, defeated Li Dian, and surrendered Zhou Tai and others, is also a guess.

Naturally, I don't know how Kou Feng captured Jiangdong.

Among them, there are tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers, and tens of thousands of other generals.In addition to Kou Feng's own soldiers and horses, there are already more than 20.Moreover, Shouchun has also fallen.

Zang Ba and Wen Hui's [-] troops only defended for a few days.

Xuzhou border area.

Wen Hui, who led thousands of troops first and escaped from the city, looked quite embarrassed at the moment.The clothes are fairly neat, but the eyes are bloodshot.

There was some dust on an otherwise clean face.It looks very dusty.The thousands of defeated soldiers under it were almost defeated.

Sparse.

Like a tree branch blown by a typhoon, it is weak.

When they left the city, there were many soldiers, four or five thousand.Now there are only three or four thousand left.It is because Wen Hui's prestige in the army is not enough, so many soldiers escaped.

"Hey." Wen Hui turned his head, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but sighed.

It is indeed very difficult for a civil servant to command an army.

"My lord, an army was found in the rear. It seems that Cao's army has been defeated." At this moment, a spy rode his horse towards Wen Hui. When he got close to Wen Hui, he dismounted and bowed.

"What?" Wen Hui has been afraid of Cao Jun's defeated soldiers like a person who has been bitten by a snake for ten years.What's more, it's only been a few days now.

"The old man abandoned the city and left. He didn't want to pursue the soldiers and killed them." Wen Hui was frightened and indignant.

"Quick, speed up."

Wen Hui urged while steering the horse.Now he has become a frightened bird, wishing he could ride his horse away alone.But he knew that if he did this, it would be really difficult to explain when he went back.

I can only grit my teeth and move forward with the army.

Like Wen Hui, this Cao army soldier had already reached the point where his face changed when he heard about the Chu army.Without Wen Hui's urging, he let go and headed for Xuzhou.

But the real situation is that the army behind is indeed the defeated army of Cao Jun.

It was more than two thousand people led by Zang Ba.

Although Wen Hui escaped from Shouchun first, he was eighty miles faster than Zang Ba.But Zang Ba's army, after all, is Qingzhou's elite soldiers, although they were defeated.But the quality of the army is still there, and Zang Ba's own prestige is still there.

Instead, it came to the vicinity of Xuzhou relatively quickly.

On the flat plain, Zang Ba rode away on horseback, and behind him were Cao Jun's soldiers in a fairly complete formation.After several days of rushing, Zang Ba took the opportunity to rearrange his soldiers.

Still a veteran.

"General, we found a defeated army ahead without a banner." Suddenly, the spies came to Zang Ba's side and reported.

"I'm afraid it is the defeated army of Governor Wen Hui, and I don't know if Wen Hui has escaped." Hearing this, Zang Ba immediately guessed that this army might be the remnants of Shouchun.

So, he ordered: "Catch up immediately. We will be with them and go back to Xuzhou."

The so-called law does not blame the public, although Zang Ba is a courageous person.But the thought of losing Lujiang indirectly led to the fall of Shouchun and the corruption of Yangzhou.

Also can't help some hair bundles.If Wen Hui's defeated army is really ahead, Wen Hui will be there again.I'm afraid it will be better if the two of you are together.

Thus, a dramatic scene appeared.

Two armies of the same root and origin, one like a frightened fawn, fled frantically ahead.But one wants to reconcile.

As a result, they chased and fled.

He went straight for more than a hundred miles.And the speed is very fast.

"My lord, the pursuers are getting closer and closer. What should we do?" Wen Hui rode away ahead, but bad news came one after another.

The Chu army in the rear was so fast that they were about to catch up.

Moreover, after walking for more than a hundred miles, their soldiers and horses have reached their limits, and they can't run anymore.

"My lord, we can't run anymore. If this continues, it would be better to be killed with a single knife."

"Yes, yes, it's better to fight with them."

The soldiers gasped heavily.

"Life and death are determined by fate and wealth." Even Wen Hui himself felt that he could never run away again. A civil servant had ridden hundreds of miles on horseback.Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and said loudly.

"Stand up to protect yourself. And send a single rider to Xuzhou for help."

"No." Immediately a knight was ordered to go to Xuzhou.

And Wen Hui commanded the soldiers to form a circle to protect themselves, and he himself sat in the middle.Wen Hui's face was tragic, even though there were soldiers from Xuzhou.

But now that there is a flat river, before the reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid they will be floating in the wilderness.

While Wen Hui was waiting, Zang Ba's army appeared.Although it has traveled more than a hundred miles, Zang Ba's army obviously still has spare strength.

"Who is the general in command in front? I am Zang Ba." Zang Ba was also extremely depressed. He speeded up and wanted to fight with the remnants in front, but in the end the two sides pursued for more than a hundred miles.

what is this.

Moreover, Zang Ba also sent cavalry to report the news.But they didn't get a response. Now that they finally met, the group of people on the other side formed an formation to protect themselves.

what is this?

"Zang Ba?" Wen Hui had seen Zang Ba before, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide to look at Zang Ba. The figure was very familiar, and so was the voice.

He, he actually regarded Zang Ba as a pursuer?

Wen Hui only felt a mouthful of blood rushing from his chest and abdomen, straight to his mouth.

"Puchi." Ashamed and angry, coupled with fear, fatigue, etc., Wen Hui spat a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and died on the spot.

"My lord, my lord."
