Three Kingdoms: I have a job transfer palace
Chapter 260
At this time, because Yuan Shu ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Biao mobilized the entire state to attack him. However, he encountered strong resistance from the Dacheng Kingdom and was even in danger of being counterattacked by the Dacheng Kingdom.
Dacheng Kingdom counterattacked Jingzhou, and Jingzhou, as Liu Biao's hometown, was naturally much more important than the three counties of Yangzhou, so even if there was a large-scale rebellion in Yangzhou, he had no intention of taking care of it.
But this just gave Cao Cao the opportunity to control Yangzhou.
Cao Cao also took the opportunity to secretly enter Jiujiang, Lujiang and Yuzhang counties under the pretext of revenge for Sun Jian, and encircled and suppressed Liu Biao's army in Yangzhou.
Because the armies attacking these three counties were all Yangzhou people and the Jiangdong army captured by Liu Biao, which originally belonged to Sun Jian, their equipment and combat effectiveness were not as good as Liu Biao's soldiers.
The main reason why he was able to cause trouble to the defenders of the three counties was his momentum.
Therefore, they only had the advantage at first because of the sudden incident, but as the battle progressed, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
At this time, Cao Cao also led his troops into Yuzhang, Lujiang and Jiujiang, gathering troops along the way in the name of avenging Sun Jian.The state army soon formed a powerful force.
Eventually, this army became a powerful force with tens of thousands of troops.
In order to resist the rebels of Dacheng Kingdom, Liu Biao had already transferred most of his troops back to Jingzhou. The remaining garrison troops in the three counties of Yangzhou combined were less than 10,000.
The defenders of the three counties faced a fierce attack by tens of thousands of troops under Cao Cao's command, especially the powerful generals Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun among Cao Cao's troops. They were beaten without the ability to fight back.
In the end, Cao Cao's army effortlessly drove Liu Biao's forces out of Yangzhou.
Cao Cao led his army to drive Liu Biao out of Yangzhou, and in the name of avenging Sun Jian, he successfully gained recognition from the people of Yangzhou and the local forces in Yangzhou who were originally Sun Jian's soldiers.
At this point, Cao Cao has completely controlled Yangzhou, owns Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and can quickly develop his power as planned.
As for Liu Biao, he was originally very high-spirited because he killed his old enemy Sun Jian and occupied half of Yangzhou.
However, I didn't expect that only a few months would pass before and after. Because Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and became self-reliant, I couldn't swallow this and had to launch an army to attack him, which led to the current two-front battle being completely passive.
Yangzhou completely lost control, and Jingzhou's army was also losing consecutive battles against the Dacheng Kingdom. Several consecutive defeats made Liu Biao feel discouraged.
At this time, he no longer had the lofty ambitions he had when he entered Jingzhou but fought outside Annei. The continuous defeats made him have the idea of giving up.
However, Liu Biao could give up, but Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others who were local nobles in Jingzhou could not give up.
They still tried their best to make the final resistance, especially the brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who were not only famous people in Jingzhou, but also wise men who were familiar with the art of war.
With their best efforts to resist, the Jingzhou army temporarily stopped their decline and stabilized their defense line bit by bit.
But even though the two brothers had all kinds of strategies, they were still unable to make a comeback because of Jingzhou's own strength.
The Xiliang army led by Li Jue and Guo Bin were both experienced in hundreds of battles. They were an elite division that had been fighting against the Qiang people in Liangzhou. Their tactics and the strength of their soldiers could not even be matched by the Qiang cavalry.
The soldiers of the Jingzhou Army, whether in terms of tactics or combat effectiveness, or even their fighting will and morale at this time, were far inferior to the Qiang soldiers, let alone fighting against the Liangzhou Army.
And even if you don't mention the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army, even if you only look at the strength of both sides, the Jingzhou Army is far from being a match for the Dacheng Army.
Previously, Liu Biao used all the troops in the state and gathered 100,000 armored men to attack the Dacheng Kingdom. However, they were strangled by the two armies of Li Guobin and Sun Ce in Yundu City.
In the end, Liu Biao broke out with only a few dozen cavalry.
The defeat of this battle left Jingzhou with almost no troops available at this moment. In desperation, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue had no choice but to second a few defenders from Yangzhou to return to Jingzhou.
It was precisely because the Yangzhou defenders returned to Jingzhou that they gave Cao Cao the opportunity to easily capture the three counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang and Yuzhang, and control the entire Yangzhou in his hands.
Even with the 50,000 soldiers and horses returning from Yangzhou, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue were still at a disadvantage facing the Dacheng Kingdom's army.
In the previous siege of Yundu City, Liu Biao's Jingzhou army was in a weak position and was besieged, so there was no way to fight back. As a result, Liangzhou's 50,000-strong army and Sun Ce's 30,000-strong Jiangdong army suffered almost no losses.
Now the two armies combined still have nearly 70,000 troops. In addition, Emperor Yuan Shu of the Dacheng Kingdom saw that Liu Biao was gone, so he sent General Ji Ling to lead an army of 20,000 to join Sun Ce and Li Jue to besiege Jingzhou in an attempt to completely eradicate Liu Biao..
Therefore, the situation of Jingzhou Army was extremely serious at this time.
In addition to the disadvantage in terms of military strength, the Jingzhou Army's generals only have Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. Apart from them, Wenpin and Huang Zhong, who were originally very famous in history, are not reused at this time, so they have not shown any special performance for the time being. human capabilities.
However, both Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were far inferior to Dacheng generals Li Jue, Guo Si, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others, both in terms of personal force and general ability.
Therefore, even if the Kuai Liang brothers tried their best, they could not stop the overwhelming Dacheng army.
In addition, among the two armies of Li Jue, Guo Si and Sun Ce, there were also super counselors like Jia Xu and Zhou Yu respectively. Their strategies were far beyond what the Kuai brothers could compare with.
Often when the Kuai brothers have just come up with a plan, Zhou Yu and Jia Xu not only have guessed it, but have also prepared the relevant solutions.
However, the Kuai brothers could not predict the clever plan that Jia Xu and Zhou Yu came up with in advance.
Therefore, no matter in terms of military strength, strategy, or generals, the Jingzhou Army was far from a match for the Dacheng Kingdom's army.
At this time, seeing the chaos in Jingzhou, Xi Zhicai also suggested to Cao Cao:"My lord, Liu Biao is almost exhausted at this time, and it is obvious that he has no power to fight back against Yuan Shu's three armies.
However, neither Sun Ce nor Li Jue and Guo Si obviously do not really agree with Yuan Shu, and they must have their own goals.
Therefore, our army can also take the opportunity to enter Jingzhou, and maybe fish in troubled waters and obtain some benefits from it."
Cao Cao listened to the joke. After hearing this, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately led an army of 30,000 into Jingzhou, preparing to get a share of the pie.
Therefore, facing the indirect alliance of the three super counselors Jia Xu, Zhou Yu and Xi Zhicai, it was difficult for the Kuai brothers to resist, and the entire Jingzhou was divided between Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Li Jue and Guo Si.
Liu Biao felt disheartened when he saw the three armies marching into Jingzhou. He immediately drew his sword and committed suicide. The Kuai Liang brothers were captured by Li Jue and Guo Si.
