The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 436 Chang Yuchun Raids Nanyang

In the first year of Jian'an, Liu Bian decided to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, and the essay on Yuan Shu was first spread to Guanzhong, and then to Wuguan where Chang Yuchun was.

Chang Yuchun stationed [-] troops in Wuguan, and the [-] soldiers who practiced every day were already strong. Chang Yuchun received Liu Bian's letter and immediately summoned Gan Ning and other generals. He said excitedly: "Let's station troops in Wuguan After more than a year, His Majesty finally remembered us, and ordered us to be the vanguard to attack Wuguan!"

Chang Yuchun passed the call to action against Yuan to the generals, Gan Ning looked at it and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's release of the call to action against Yuan is a big move. This time we are attacking Nanyang, we are probably just the vanguard."

Chang Yuchun shook his head and said: "Nanyang has Hou Junji stationed there, with as many as 250 soldiers and horses, not to mention Nanyang is the largest county in the world. During Emperor Shun's time, there were nearly 100 million people. Over the years, there have been yellow scarves. The rebellion was caused by Yuan Shu, but there are probably more than [-] million people in Nanyang. Nanyang has a strong foundation, and a few soldiers and horses cannot take it down!"

"Nanyang has a strong background, so what method do you use to attack, General?" Gan Ning asked in a deep voice.

"Although Nanyang is powerful, it is a plain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I just need to send [-] cavalry from Chang'an, cut off their food roads, raid and harass them, and use infantry to ambush them."

"Furthermore, Yuan Shu's excessive levies won't win the hearts of the people. When we set out to conquer Yuan Shu, the people's hearts will be determined. As long as we treat the people well along the way, how can the people not eat pots of milk to welcome our Han army?"

Chang Yuchun proposed two strategies, one is to use the terrain, dispatch cavalry from Chang'an into Nanyang, borrow the advantage of cavalry over infantry, intercept grain roads, raid, harass, and lure the enemy.The second is to use the people's hearts and righteousness, treat the people kindly, let the people's hearts belong to the great Han, and fundamentally disintegrate Yuan Shu's rule.

Gan Ning nodded after hearing this, and immediately thought of something and said: "Although the general's strategy is good, it is a strategy of protracted warfare, and it is a method of step by step. But besides Nanyang, Yuan Shu also has Huainan, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou. If you can't attack Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu will send troops to help, this method will not work."

"Hmph, does he dare? When our army attacked Yuan Shu, it was the emperor's army and horses attacking disobedient ministers. Yuan Shu dares to fight with our army with great fanfare? If he dares, he will definitely give Yuan Shu the name of rebellion!" Chang Yuchun sneered road.

Hearing this, Gan Ning suddenly realized: "I didn't expect to go to this level. If Yuan Shu dared to send more soldiers and horses to fight our army, it would mean that he himself admitted the crime of being a traitor. At that time, His Majesty can summon the princes of the world to jointly attack Yu. he!"

"It's for this reason that His Majesty issued a call to action against Yuan, ordered Chang'an and Luoyang to prepare food and grass, and prepared [-] troops to stand by, which is to prepare for a protracted battle!" Chang Yuchun nodded.

The generals nodded their heads and came to their senses, Chang Yuchun gave an order: "Send an order to go down with [-] soldiers and horses to prepare for war. I will immediately write a letter to Chang'an, requesting that [-] cavalry be sent over. But first, I want to take down Nanxiang County. Use the township as a base to attack Nanyang, and Gan Xingba, you have [-] elite troops under your command who are good at water warfare, and you quickly lead them and the craftsmen in Wuguan who are good at shipbuilding to build boats and boats in Danshui, ready to cross the river!"

"Follow orders!" Gan Ning said with hands in his hands.

Wuguan is close to the steep Shaoxi Mountain in the north, and the steep Wuguan Valley in the south. There is a branch of the Yangtze River named Xiangjiang, and Xiangjiang has several tributaries. Among them, Danshui and Zheshui surround the mountains where Wuguan is located.

The Zheshui is on the right and the Danshui is on the left, but Wuguan can only come out of Nanyang, or the Zheshui from the east and the Danshui from the west.From Wuguan to Wuguan Mountain Road, dozens of miles away is Zheshui.Zheshui is surrounded by Wuguan Mountains, and to the east of Zheshui are many counties in Nanyang.As for Danshui, it is close to the Hanzhong area.To the southwest of Danshui is the Shangyong area, which was the northeast gateway of Liu Bei's forces.Later, Meng Da surrendered to Wei, and the Shangyong area was also acquired by Wei.

And Nanxiang County is located in the south of Danshui, which is an important town in the west of Nanyang County. If Nanxiang is taken down, there will be no need for long-distance transportation to transport grain and grass in the mountain road.Nanxiang County can be regarded as an important stronghold for attacking Nanyang.

"However, General, if you cross the Danshui River from the south to attack Nanxiang, will the soldiers and horses from the east come out of the Zhejiang River?" Gan Ning asked suspiciously.

"Going out of Zheshui is to face Nanyang directly. There are too many counties in that area. If we keep going step by step, we will face resistance and too many variables, so it won't work. We should attack from Nanxiang to the east, so that the territory we occupy will be smaller. There are too many." Chang Yuchun waved his hands.

Chang Yuchun immediately decided to go out from Wuguan to attack Nanxiang. Before a large amount of food and grass arrived, Chang Yuchun led [-] elite soldiers to go out in person in the early morning of the next day. The soldiers and horses in the army have only been in the army for one year.Chang Yuchun planned to use these three thousand soldiers to take Nanyang.

On the bank of Danshui, Gan Ning had already built the ships needed for [-] troops. Chang Yuchun was very satisfied and said with a smile: "There are many waterways in Nanyang, and there are many places that need ships. When the cavalry come over in the future, they will need ships even more. You Build ships here first, the more the better."

"The last general obeys!" Gan Ning bowed his hands and accepted the order.

Chang Yuchun, on the other hand, only carried a few days' worth of food and grass, and went straight to Nanxiang City after crossing the Danshui with light clothes.There are not many defenders in Nanxiang City, less than 500 people. Chang Yuchun's soldiers approached the city and built ladders. Under Chang Yuchun's lead, Chang Yuchun captured Nanxiang and entered the city with just one charge.

Chang Yuchun intended to train troops, so nearly 100 of the 300 defenders died in battle, while the Han army suffered no more than [-] casualties.After taking Nanxiang, Chang Yuchun saw that there were not many casualties, so he left [-] people to guard the city, and led the rest of the troops, and attacked Wudang County that night.

After taking Wudang County, Chang Yuchun stopped advancing troops, because the other counties were closely separated, but it was difficult to garrison them.And most of the county towns are descendants of aristocratic families appointed by Yuan Shu. If Chang Yuchun is eager for success and goes deep alone, the county towns captured from the rear will definitely cause chaos.

So Chang Yuchun waited for Liu Bian to send talents to accept the county towns, and after everything was ready, he continued to move eastward.After taking down the two counties, Chang Yuchun ordered people to post a list to calm the people, and at the same time ordered people to urge food, grass and soldiers.

The people of the two counties, when they got the news that the big man sent troops to Nanyang, they all rushed to celebrate. Chang Yuchun's army was strict and disciplined, and he did not commit any crimes against the people. Soon, the hearts of the people changed. In the next comparison, the hearts of the people are all on Liu Bian's side.

Among the two counties, the soldiers and horses that Yuan Shu fled, as well as the aristocratic families that were loyal to Yuan Shu, also rushed to Wancheng to report the news to Hou Junji who was stationed in Wancheng.

In Wancheng County Yamen, Hou Junji got the news and immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter, and Hou Junji sat on the throne.Hou Junji was dressed in armor, about 35 years old in college, with a thin face and three long beards under his jaw, but he was majestic.

It's just that Hou Junji's face was slightly sullen, and the tip of his nose was even more hooked, like an eagle's beak.

"General, the emperor sent troops to attack Nanyang, but what should we do now?"

His Highness asked, clasping his hands. It seems that Liu Bian's identity is quite intimidating to these people.If Liu Bian didn't come to attack them, they would be happy under Yuan Shu's command, but now that Liu Bian came, they panicked.

"Oh, what's the matter? Are you scared?" Hou Junji's expression turned cold, and he looked around at the generals under his command with eagle-like eyes.

"I don't dare to..." All the generals of His Royal Highness felt chills when Hou Junji looked at them like this, and hesitated.

"Don't forget, everything about you is bestowed by the lord. You don't like anyone who betrays you. My lord and I don't like it. You've heard about Liu Bian's character, and he doesn't like double-faced and three-faced grass!" Hou Jun Ji sneered.

"The last general dare not wait!"

"Don't dare, forgive you and don't dare, you are clear about my methods. But you don't have to be afraid of the emperor. My lord sits in Huainan, with thousands of miles of fertile land under his command, tens of millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of armored men. The greatest prince in the world, a mere Son of Heaven, what is there to be afraid of?" Hou Junji said to himself.

After hearing Hou Junji's words, the generals calmed down a bit in panic. After all, they were happy and happy under Yuan Shu's command, but if they were under Liu Bian's command, they would not be able to stand such strict military discipline.

"Does the general have a plan to defeat the enemy? Or ask the lord to send troops for support?" the first general asked, looking up.

"Wuguan has only [-] soldiers and horses. I have [-] soldiers and horses in Nanyang. Do I need to ask the lord for more troops? What's more, if the lord sends more troops, it will be a protracted war. The emperor issued a call to crusade the lord. The lord's name of rebellion has been confirmed. When Liu Bian orders the princes of the world to join hands to attack the lord, can you bear this responsibility?"

If you only fight in Nanyang, it can only be regarded as a small fight, but it doesn't matter.Once things get serious, Yuan Shu has offended many people over the years, and the territory under his command has also made people jealous.

"Then what strategy does the general have to defeat the enemy?"

Hou Junji stroked his beard and said: "The emperor's attack on Nanyang can be regarded as the first battle against the princes of the world. We only need to defend Nanyang and break his spirit. When the time comes, their soldiers and horses will be defeated. Let's fight back the emperor's soldiers and horses." , the princes of the world will also know the strength of the emperor, and will not be afraid of the emperor, and when the time comes, the deterrence of the emperor and the deterrence of the big man will be gone!"

At this point, Hou Junji said in a deep voice: "The Son of Heaven uses Chang Yuchun as the vanguard. It is rumored that this person fought with Lu Bu for a hundred rounds. He is famous for his bravery in battle. Who dares to send troops to stop him?"

The generals looked at me, but I looked at you, but no one dared to come out to challenge, once Chang Yuchun's reputation for bravery came, the two of them retreated.Secondly, this is a battle with the Son of Heaven, which is of great significance. They can only win, but cannot lose. If they win, they will have infinite glory, but if they lose, they will then step into the endless abyss. They cannot bear the responsibility of this.

"You guys always claim to be brave, why are you all cowardly and afraid to fight when you are needed today?" Hou Junji squinted his eyes and snorted coldly.

"The final general is willing to fight Chang Yuchun!"

"The last commander is also willing to go!"

After being so provoked by Hou Junji, two of His Highness stepped forward, clasping their hands together for a fight.
