The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 96

Wen Chou left a cavalry reserve of 5000 men in the village, and wanted to use this new force to deal Zhang Yan a fatal blow.At this time, seeing that the time was right, he immediately transferred the tired soldiers back, and dispatched the new force to cover up and kill with all his strength.Because Zhang Yan sent 1 people to guard the embankment, he was short of troops. Wen Chou's elite soldiers rushed to kill him and suffered heavy losses.Although he failed to break through the trench, he was frightened into a cold sweat.Immediately ordered: "Leave 1000 people stationed by the river, and I will withdraw all the rest." I thought, the river channel will not be able to be dug in a short while, but the time is really critical, and it will not be too late for me to send troops.He was mainly made to underestimate the enemy by Zhou Cang and Chang Xi's move of troops. He had no idea that Zhang Xiu still had [-] of the most elite Wuhuan cavalry in his hands.These wolf-like Wuhuan warriors could completely swallow up a thousand of his warriors within a single stick of incense, leaving no bones left.

This stalemate lasted until the sunset of the next day, and Wen Chou and the generals couldn't hold on anymore. They hadn't closed their eyes all day and all night, and their work was still so tiring.Can't help eyelids don't fight.But Wen Chou was not worried, because Zhang Yan was also tired, not much better than him.Now he only hopes that Zhang Xiu can get it quickly, so that he can go back and sleep soundly.

Zhang Xiu had already set off, followed by 1 of the most elite Wuhuan cavalry.He has learned a little foreign language these days, and he can simply command these Wuhuan people.This team, each carrying a machete, a bow and a shovel, is an absolute light cavalry, marching in a hurry.It is to defeat Zhang Yan's defenders with lightning speed and dig the river. You will soon know how powerful 1 people are.

When Qing Niujiao found that the black mass of heads was approaching, it was too late to escape. These guys, like a swarm of locusts, flew over and gnawed on his soldiers.He didn't even have time to send out a soldier to report, and the whole army was wiped out.Of course, he himself was warped.

Seeing that the progress was going well, Zhang Xiu jumped off his horse first and led the Wuhuan soldiers to dig the river channel.The mouth is full of foreign language; "Hurry up, hurry up, dig through here, hurry up."

It was also Zhang Yan's misfortune. When Zhang Xiu was digging desperately, a heavy rain fell from the sky.This is a big deal.The water level of the Taishi River grew higher and higher in the dark, almost exceeding the embankment.Zhang Xiu had to order some soldiers to raise the embankment.But in this way, the pressure of the water is getting stronger and stronger, and the force of the impact is also increasing with the number of rainstorm points.

'Kara' golden snake danced wildly in the air, struck a thunder, Zhang Xiu ordered to dig the last dam blocking the river.

The dam was pierced through, and the river immediately changed its course. The originally calm water flow, under the siege, aroused a ten-foot wave, roaring and rushing towards Zhang Yan's camp from the artificially dug 'small canal'.This direction happened to be aligned with Zhang Yan's trench.After running for half an hour, the river flowed into a deep trench, and washed Zhang Yan's camp along the trench.

Wen Chou withdrew half an hour ago.Just as Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he was hit by a flood.Our army withdrew to the high slope five miles away, and Zhang Yan's camp was already knee-deep in water.He was so angry that he had no choice but to order the soldiers to abandon the camp and withdraw towards Gaoyang.Want to withdraw Fan Yang.The prefect of Fan Yang has gathered 3 people and Ma Yiyi is waiting for him.The heavy rain killed Zhang Yan, but saved his life.Due to the torrential rain, I did not give orders to pursue his army, but let him lead [-] remnants of soldiers and [-] to [-] civilians to flee in the direction of Fan Yang.

All the generals unanimously advocated pursuit, and flanking him back and forth, taking advantage of his exhaustion, to annihilate him in one fell swoop.I also know that this strategy is good, but I'm worried about Jizhou and Guandu, and I don't have the heart to chat with him.I had to give up this golden opportunity.

The heavy rain stopped in the afternoon, and the air was very fresh.Chang Xi and Guan Cheng began to lead people to clean up the Zhaishan built by Zhang Yan blocking the road, and filled up the trench by the way to make it easier for the army to pass through.I was so anxious that I sent Cui Yanxian to Guandu to find out the news.I kept thinking silently in my heart that no accident should happen.After the cleaning work was completed, everyone ignored the rest, and immediately the whole army passed through the fortress that had blocked our army for more than [-] days.

I couldn't ride a horse, so I took a carriage with Cai Yan.Hao Zhao asked people to cover the car with a canvas to block the strong sunlight so that the beauty would not get tanned.

Two days later, the army arrived in Gu'an, ten miles away from the city.I saw a Biao army coming to kill me.One of the two leaders was Yuan Shang's immediate lieutenant, Zhang Wei.The other one is Cui Yan.

Cui Yan got off his horse and ran over in panic and panic.Panting: "Young Master, something is wrong, my lord—the lord was burned by Cao Cao in Guandu and robbed the camp, and returned in a big defeat. The troops were scattered, and the damage is likely to be nine out of ten. Zhang Yun Gaolan defected, Mr. Jushou, The whereabouts are unknown - the lord has returned to Jizhou now."

I was shocked, almost fainted, and said sharply; "Why so fast?" Cui Yan stomped his feet and said, "The second son really has the foresight, then Xu You is really a spy of Cao Cao, just when the lord and Cao Cao are inseparable , Xu You took the opportunity to escape and told Cao Cao the place where our army had stored grain. So Cao Cao personally led the army to Wuchao, and burned the grain and grass. The lord sent Zhang He Gaolan to attack Cao Cao's camp, which was defeated. , without sending reinforcements, the two had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao in order to survive."

"Junyi--Gao Lan--" I gasped, and said weakly; "--to blame me--" Could it be God's will.I sighed and said, "What's going on with Cao Jun now?" Cui Yan said, "Cao Cao won a complete victory, withdrew [-] or [-] soldiers, and with a loud voice, he recaptured Baima Yanjin, but he was held back by Liu Biao of Jingzhou. I have no intention of crossing the river." At this time, Wen Chou and Guo Jia Jiaxu had already surrounded him, and all faces were ashamed.Wen Chou said sharply; "Who is stationed on the north bank of Liyang at this moment?"

Cui Yan didn't speak.Zhang Wei beside him said, "It's Pingnan Zhonglang Jiang Yiqu." Wen Chou's face turned colder and he remained silent.But Jia Xu was thinking in her heart, after all, Cao Cao won, I can't stay here for long, I want to run away as soon as possible.

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he added: "Young master is not feeling well, so don't worry about it. There are two generals Liu Bei, Liu Huangshu and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stationed in Jizhou City. If you want to come, you can report without any danger." I couldn't believe it and asked; "Who do you think is there?" In the city of Jizhou." Zhang Wei said as if asking for credit; "Yes, Liu Bei, uncle of the Great Han Emperor, a hero of the time—"

No, shouldn't Liu Bei go to Liu Biao?Why are you still in Jizhou? What went wrong?How history has changed.I tentatively asked, "Liu Bei and Liu Biao are both clansmen of the Great Han Dynasty, why didn't my father send Liu Bei to contact Liu Jingsheng, and attack Cao Cao together." Zhang Wei said in astonishment; "My son has been commanding troops outside the Great Wall for several months, so he knows the current situation well. Very few. My lord had formed an alliance with Sun Quan in Jiangdong before January. Sun Quan attacked Huangzu in Jiangxia, and my lord ordered General Xun Yu and General Zhao Yun in Huainan to attack Nanjun in order to show solidarity. Liu Biao had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao. Nan Cao Ren's troops restrained Zhao Zilong. The two families are already fighting so fiercely, how can they send people to discuss peace and defeat Cao Cao together."

I immediately understood that the reason why history has deviated lies in Huainan.The Yuan family occupied the land of Huainan, causing shocking changes in the entire Jiangnan and Jiangdong.In the south of the Yellow River, instead of Sun Quan and Liu Biao competing for supremacy, a four-point force of Yuan, Cao, Sun, and Liu formed.Once this historical balance is broken, a series of events that I did not know before will inevitably evolve.Liu Bei, not leaving Jizhou, is one of these variables.

"How is the war in the south at the moment?" My mind was in confusion, and I didn't know what to do.Zhang Wei said respectfully, "My lord, the south is in great chaos. In my opinion, Sun Quan is afraid that he won't be able to keep the land that his father and elder brother fought so hard for."

Wen Chou has also become blind and deaf these days, lacking understanding of the war situation in the Central Plains, so he rushed to ask; "What happened?" Zhang Wei said in a deep voice; "General, Jiangdong is completely reversed, and almost no one is willing to listen to Sun Quan's orders. First of all, his uncle Sun Fu, the prefect of Luling, wrote a letter to Cao Cao, wanting to surrender. Furthermore, large-scale civil uprisings broke out in nearly twelve counties of Poyang, Le'an, Haihun, Nanping, and Hanxing, and nearly 8 people gathered Man-made rebellion. This is not counted. The Yue people in Yuzhang Mountain rebelled and captured seven or eight county towns in one day. Sun Quan lost his troops and lost his generals. put down.

However, at this time, the rebels in Poyang and other places were still making trouble.Lu Fan, Sun Quan's conscripting Zhonglang general.Dangkou Zhonglang General Cheng Pu, Jianchang Duwei Taishi Ciping Dongxiao Lieutenant He Qi, although they commanded elite troops to fight against each other, they gained very little. It seems that there will be no big victories in a short time.What's more, he has to deal with the powerful enemy in the west who killed his father and enemy Huang Zu. The land of Jiangdong, which he will feel at the end, will soon belong to others. It is better for the son to persuade the lord and Sun Quan to stop the alliance and join Liu Biao to carve up the land of Jiangdong. "

I sneered and said nothing, thinking to myself, you underestimate Sun Quan too much, this little difficulty can't help this hard-hitting and resilient guy at all.He will kick away these stumbling blocks one by one without making a sound.But the battle between Zilong and Cao Ren made me more worried.Cao Ren's bravery, tenacity and IQ, in the list of generals of the Three Kingdoms, can be firmly squeezed into the top ten.Huainan is located between Runan and Jingzhou, and it is not easy to defeat the two wolves, Liu Biao and Cao Ren, at the same time.The biggest problem is - food, and soldiers.

Zhang Wei has now become my intelligence officer, and he answers my questions one after another. "Where is General Zhao Yun now?" Zhang Wei asked without hesitation; "The battle report came the day before yesterday, General Gan Ning and military Liu Ye sent by Lord Xun Yu were blocked by General Liu Biao Wenpin and Cai Mao in Jiangling, and the victory is still undecided. General Zhao Yun personally commanded an army to raid Runan, and formed a confrontation with Cao Ren in the city for nearly a month, but there was no progress—but the lord had already issued a strict order to let Xun Yu and Zhao Yun break through Runan and Nanjun at all costs. Use it—use it—" Zhang Wei looked up at me, not daring to continue.

"It's used to get revenge on Liu Biao and Cao Cao, isn't it?" The sharpness in my eyes stared at his face.Zhang Wei knelt down in shock; "My lord, the last general—the last general—"

"Get up, General Zhang, I don't mean to blame you. You have done a good job. Without you, my eyes would still be in darkness. Let's go, let's go into the city." I paused and said, "You Just now I said, who will Lord Xun Yu send to attack Nanjun?" Zhang Wei stood up and said; "Gan Ning, an unknown soldier, the last general does not know where he came from, it seems that a bandit came out and joined Huang Zu, but He was not highly valued, and Huang Zu happened to be in a mess with Sun Quan in those days. For some reason, he voted for Huainan. The last general is not very clear. It seems that Lord Xun Yu thinks highly of him and entrusts him with a heavy responsibility." Nobody, my Mother, the teacher has enlisted Gan Xingba, the Jiang Jinfan thief, under his command. "Well, you just said that there is a man named Liu Ye, a military advisor."

Zhang Wei said, "Yes, this man seems to be a bit famous. He used to be a meritorious service officer under Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang River. He once defeated Zheng Bao, the thief commander in Yangzhou. He is very famous in Jiangzuo generation." [Historical Materials] I just thought Come to think of it, when I was in Huainan a few months ago, I seem to have heard Guo Jia mention that Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, sent a man named Liu Ye to deliver food.At that time, it happened that Gu Yong came to visit, so he didn't take it seriously, and almost lost an important talent.

Liu Ye, the first-class military division of the Three Kingdoms should have been the pillar of the later Cao Wei. Unexpectedly, the Yuan family occupied Huainan, and under the influence of Lu Su, Xun Yu, and Gu Yong, they were also recruited by our army.Well, if this development continues, it is best to attract all the literati leaders in Nanyang, so that Huainan will become an iron barrel.

The army buried pots in the city to make food, stopped for a while, and after two hours, continued to set off for Jizhou.At this time, my mood is extremely complicated. History is running according to the established track. Although I am unpredictable, I am still swayed by fate.Just look at this Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, Youzhou. It is obvious that I can return as expected and participate in the Battle of Guandu. The first battle will determine the world, but there are countless accidents that make me unable to escape. .Looking back on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems that Yuan Xi did not participate in the Battle of Guandu.Can't I change history?No, how to explain what happened in Huainan?Isn't the situation of the Three Kingdoms undergoing tremendous changes at this moment?Especially Liu Bei, he lost the opportunity to go to the south, what would he do if he wanted to make contributions?Did he—

The city of Jizhou is still prosperous, and our army's defeat at Guandu did not make the people in the city shiver.Everyone is thinking in their hearts, anyway, Prime Minister Cao has strict military discipline and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Whoever rules the world will make life difficult for the common people.The streets paved with broad bluestone slabs were even busier than usual, just like the Chinese New Year, and it was almost like setting off firecrackers.This may be the evil result of Yuan's heavy collection of heavy taxes, severe punishment and strict laws, and connivance of officials to oppress the people.

The master secretary Li Fu came to send an order that the army was stationed outside the city, waiting for dispatch at any time. Only Wen Chou, Zhang Xiu, Cui Yan, and Tian Feng were allowed to enter the city, and everyone else stayed behind outside the city.

When I saw my father, he was lying on the bed throwing a fit.On the surface, the reason is that the maid broke a cup, but inwardly, it shows that he is extremely irritable and restless.I gently opened the door, walked in, and saw Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang bowed their heads, standing in front of the bed, mother and father's concubines were also angry at Father Chang's face, coughing , while sternly yelling, she must kill that poor maid.His eyes were covered with tiny bloodshot eyes, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse and low, as if a puff of air was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow or spit it out. He was extremely uncomfortable, and his mother kept helping him with her hands. Rubbing his chest lightly.
