Chapter 264: The Lord of the Two States
This battle can be said to be a complete victory of the Fenwu Army.
In terms of 'time', Yuan Shaojun was still resting, and the Fenwu army was killed.
Many of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers didn't know what to do, but they knew that after sleeping for a while, they became prisoners of the Fenwu Army in a daze.
This also proves that the timing is very good;
In terms of 'geographical advantage', 2,000 war horses blocked the gate of the city, not only could not close the gate, but also could not get out.
This proves that the location was very well chosen;
When Yuan Shaojun worked hard to disperse the two thousand war horses, the Fenwu army came in.
The soldiers at the front of the Fenwu Army said very politely to the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun who dispersed the war horses: "Thank you!" β
Then his face changed, and he shouted: "Those who descend will not be killed!" β
The soldiers of Yuan Shaojun, who were responsible for dispersing the war horses, could only honestly throw away their weapons and kneel on the ground to surrender.
There's no way, I've exhausted my physical strength just now, so what can I do if I don't surrender?
In terms of 'people', there are many soldiers.
More than 60,000 Fenwu soldiers fighting against less than 20,000 sober Yuan Shaojun soldiers, isn't this enough 'people'?
If it's not enough, then hit enough, anyway, there are a lot of people.
......
When the sky was slightly bright, Yuan Xi rode on a war horse and went to the south of Yuyang County without looking back.
Not looking back, indicating that a person is leaving resolutely.
In this regard, Yuan Xi did a very good job, because he really didn't dare to go back!
The sudden Fenwu army came so suddenly, so quickly.
Quickly before Yuan Xi could react, Yuyang County changed hands.
For this matter, Yuan Xi's heart was very annoyed.
But in Yuan Xi's heart at this time, he loved and hated the 'dereliction of duty' - Murong Ping.
If Yuan Xi's feelings for Murong Ping are taken as a proportion at this time, love accounts for about 0.1 percent, and the rest is all hate.
love, mainly because Murong Ping saved Yuan Xi's life.
Murong Ping's night visit did disturb Yuan Xi's good dreams;
It was this disturbance that made Yuan Xi unable to sleep;
It was precisely because he couldn't sleep, and when the killing shouts sounded at the city gate, Yuan Xi could quickly make a judgment - quickly escape.
The Fenwu Army made a lot of preparations for this battle, anticipated various situations, and ambushed many soldiers and horses outside Yuyang County, and the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun, who fled slowly, were all wiped out.
However, Yuan Xi's situation was really unexpected.
Because Yuan Xi's reaction was too fast, Yuan Xi had already fled before the Fenwu army had set up an ambush.
hate, mainly because of Murong Ping's dereliction of duty.
Didn't you report that there were only 2,000 men?
You have 8,000 men, how can you be defeated by 2,000?
......
When Han Meng received the news that Yuyang County had been broken by the Fenwu Army, he immediately ordered Daniel Zhang to lead the 2,000 cavalry he had just formed to quickly go north, on the one hand to meet the second son, Yuan Xi, and on the other hand, to collect the stragglers, as much as they could, anyway, they were not short of food.
Han Meng immediately ordered the army to turn around, return to Quanzhou County to hold on, and report to Yuan Shao.
Yuyang County can't be protected anymore, and a county can be guaranteed is a county.
The Fenwu Army has always been a steady and steady strategy of 'occupying a county, stabilizing a county, and governing a county'.
But after taking Yuyang County this time, he went against the norm and quickly sent a general to lead his troops to attack Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County in Youzhou.
After this battle, Yuan Shaojun had no strength to fight again in Youzhou, and the bureaucrats of Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, and Liaoxi County were all aware of this matter.
Either Kaesong surrenders, or abandons the official and does not do it.
Therefore, the Fenwu army easily took the land of these three counties.
After that, except for a few counties in Youzhou that were in the hands of Han Meng, the rest of the territory was in the hands of the Fenwu Army.
Han Cheng also rightfully became the lord of the two states.
At the same time, outside the city of Xiapi County, Xuzhou, Cao Cao's army once again approached the city.
Last time, he came to kill Lu Bu; This time, he came to kill Liu Bei.
In the world, everything is so impermanent.
A few months ago, Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to kill Lu Bu, but he didn't expect that a few months later, Cao Cao came again.
Only this time, Liu Bei replaced Lu Bu, but I don't know who replaced Liu Bei?
It turned out that Guo Jia obeyed Cao Cao's arrangement, and after eating, he rushed from Chang'an to Xuchang County.
With that three-inch incorruptible tongue, he vividly persuaded Cao Cao's rear master-Xun Yu, Cao Cao's 'mastermind'-Xun Yu.
Therefore, after Cao Cao's army returned triumphantly from Chang'an, he passed through Xuchang County and drove directly to Xuzhou.
At this time, in the battlefield, Cao Cao was alone, riding out on horseback.
This kind of bearing is unparalleled in the world;
This self-confidence is unmatched.
Cao Cao shouted loudly to the soldiers in the city: "I am Cao Cao, and I believe that you all know me."
Liu Xuande betrayed me and occupied my Xuzhou. I have come today to settle accounts.
I know that many of you don't know the cause and effect of this incident, so I will never kill innocent people.
From this moment on, those who still want to follow me, I will give you a chance, as long as you immediately put down your weapons, get together, and go out of the city to surrender, I will definitely not blame the past.
I will only give you an hour, and those who do not go out of the city, those who do not want to follow me, we are the enemy.
When I conquer the city, I will surely destroy you all. β
After listening to Cao Cao's words, many soldiers in Xiapi County exchanged heads and ears, and their eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Liu Bei.
They were indeed deceived by Liu Bei, and they didn't know that Liu Bei had broken away from Cao Cao.
Now, the 'main master' Cao Cao is here, and everything is falling into place.
Cao Cao looked at the somewhat chaotic soldiers in the city, and felt a little proud in his heart.
After all, just a few words from his own broke the fighting spirit of the soldiers on the other side.
This fully shows that his prestige in the army is high!
In this world, there are very few people who can retreat from the enemy on their own.
Han Cheng, who is 'in the limelight', can't, and Zhao Yun, who is 'excellent in martial arts', can't.
But I Cao Cao can, maybe there was a guy named Lu Bu in the past.
I, Cao Cao, rely on my prestige in the army; And Lu Bu, relying on his domineering spirit that was the best in the world.
Although they can all defeat the enemy, the 'taste' is different.
Liu Bei's second brother, Guan Yu, saw the scene of the soldiers talking to each other, and his heart was very anxious.
He said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, I didn't expect that three months have passed, but the soldiers in the army are still thinking about Cao Cao's dog thief."
It's not going to go on like this. If Cao Cao says a few more words, it is estimated that Cao Cao will not need to send troops, and we will be in chaos first!
It's better for me and my third brother to go out and kill Cao Jun's prestige. β
When Liu Bei encountered such an unexpected situation, there was no other way.
I saw Liu Bei say to Guan Yu with a solemn face: "Looking at it now, that's all there is to it."
Second brother, there are many generals in Cao Cao's army, so you must stop in moderation and don't force it.
If the city is lost, it will be lost, and it is nothing for me, just find a place and make a comeback.
But my brother Liu Bei, there are only you and Yide! I lost it, but I can't find it anymore! β
After Guan Yu listened to Liu Bei's words, the Danfeng's eyes seemed to be full of tears.
I don't know if it's moving, or it's exciting.
I only heard Guan Yu solemnly reply: "Please rest assured, eldest brother, since Lu Bu went, the generals in the world have all been horsemen in my eyes." β
If Han Cheng heard Guan Yu's words, he would definitely laugh.
In later generations, some people commented on Guan Yu: Guan Yu is a person with strong martial arts and arrogant personality, but he was pressed to death by Lu Bu.
Because Guan Yu really couldn't beat Lu Bu.
Therefore, when Lu Bu was alive, Guan Yu saw that everyone was Guan Mou, and he was extremely modest.
But since Lu Bu's death, Guan Yu felt as if no one could suppress him, and his arrogant personality was revealed.
Seeing that everyone is a puppet, he puts no one in his eyes.
After a while, the gate of Xiapi County was wide open, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led a team of elite cavalry to ride out.
When Cao Cao's generals saw it, they stepped forward one after another to protect Cao Cao in the middle.
I saw Guan Yu come to Cao Cao's army and shouted at Cao Cao's army: "That puppet came to die? β
Cao Cao said loudly: "Guan Yunchang, I treat your three brothers well, give you whatever you want." Why are you so embarrassed to betray me? β
Guan Yu immediately replied: "You are a villain who has no faith in your word, how can you be worthy of my loyalty?" β
The generals in Cao Cao's army, those in the know, were silent; Those who don't know, their faces are full of surprise, why is the lord untrustworthy?
It turned out that in the former Xiapi County, there was a beautiful woman named Mrs. Du, who was the wife of Qin Yilu, a general of Lu Bu's department.
Qin Yilu was sent by Lu Bu to envoy Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu appreciated his talent very much, so he made the daughter of the Han family become Qin Yilu's wife, so as to keep Qin Yilu.
Mrs. Du could only take her son Qin Lang to live in Xiapi County.
When LΓΌ Bu was besieged by Cao Cao, Guan Yu once said to Cao Cao: "My wife is unable to have children, and after conquering the county seat of Xiapi, please give me Qin Yilu's wife as a wife." β
Cao Cao cherished Guan Yu's martial arts, and in order to subdue Guan Yu, he easily agreed to Guan Yu's request.
When he was about to break through the county seat of Xiapi, Guan Yu asked for it a few more times.
Guan Yu's repeated requests made Cao Cao wonder: Is this Du Clan's beauty like a flower? Otherwise, how could Guan Yu bring up this matter so frequently?
Therefore, after the city of Xiapi County was broken, Cao Cao first sent people to check Du's appearance.
It didn't matter, Cao Cao was instantly fascinated by the Du family, so he forgot Guan Yu's request and kept the Du family by his side as one of his concubines.
At this time, Guan Yu was still Cao Cao's subordinate, and he could only dare to be angry but not speak out about this matter, and he was resentful.
However, now Guan Yu is already Cao Cao's opponent, so he brought up the matter again in order to refute Cao Cao's words.
