Chapter 65: The entire southeast of Jin is in a mess (the end of the Hedong branch line)

In his heart, Guan Yu's intelligence value certainly didn't know how much lower than Li Su's.

His acting skills with timing are far less delicate than Li Su's.

However, Guan Yu is still successful in learning and selling the strategy of "using the looted property of the thief army to lure friendly troops to help in the war".

Why?

Because the success rate of anti-inducement and inducement is never based on absolute IQ, but on the difference between the user and the person being used.

This is like Li Su's intelligence is 100, and Lu Yi's intelligence is 80, and his loyalty is 80, so Lu Yi was seduced to work for a day.

And assuming that Guan Yu's intelligence is 80, Lu Bu's intelligence is 60, and his loyalty is 60, so Lu Bu was also seduced to help in the battle.

Who made Lu Bu more greedy for money and undisciplined than Lu Yi.

Everything progressed as planned: after Guan Yu entered Anyi City, Yang Feng was unable to attack the city, so he really divided his troops to plunder the Yi clan while monitoring Guan Yu.

Guan Yu pretended to obey the orders of Fan Ling, who guarded the county, so the account that the Yi clan was breached would not be counted on Guan Yu's head in the future. Guan Yu already felt that he had a little lack of excuse to kill those salt lords in person, so he acquiesced to the actions of the Bai Bo Army with one eye and one eye closed.

Moreover, after coming to Hedong for a long time, Guan Yu gradually inspected the movements of the Baibo Army - it seems that because the locals are autonomous and rebellious, the military discipline of the Baibo Army seems to be better than that of other rogue Yellow Turban Army, because they want to develop a base in Hedong and even Bingzhou.

From this point of view, Baibo and Montenegro in the north are unlikely to massacre the poor for no reason, and the siege of the city is often only to attack those county towns with huge wealth reserves, and then rob the huge rich and leave, and will also scatter grain to recruit the poor and strong to expand the army.

After knowing Bai Bojun's behavior and habits, Guan Yu was more at ease when he borrowed a knife to kill.

It can only be said that this is also a kind of path dependence formed by experience in previous years, when you hold a hammer in your hand, then everything looks like a nail. After being nurtured by Li Su's despicable and obscene method of "let Zhang Ju rob the Bohai Sea, we will rob Zhang Ju again" last year, Guan Yu also had a lot of black belly.

Five days later, the Yi clan was defeated by the Baibo army, and the manor of the wealthy guards in Hedong was also ransacked.

This Wei family is the descendant of Empress Wei Zifu and General Wei Qing during the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, if you go back five years, Guan Yu is not worthy of shoes in front of such a famous and wealthy family.

But when the war came, the world was so reversed, and it was unreasonable for the gate lord to meet the warlord.

Wei Kai, the young master of the younger generation of the Wei family, returned to Anyi City in advance and hid with Taishou Fan Ling, but there were many side branches in their clan who took care of the private salt business on the Yi clan's side and couldn't escape.

A few days later, Yang Feng retreated, and only a messenger from the Yi clan came to Anyi to report the loss, and Wei Kai learned that many of his clansmen led by his cousin Wei Zhongdao had been killed, and he immediately fainted from crying.

Yang Feng plundered hundreds of millions of gold, jewelry, copper coins, silk and other property worth hundreds of millions of dollars from wealthy families in the two counties of Salt Lake, and retreated with a full load.

In addition, at least 10,000 or 20,000 stone of fine food and meat were also taken away as supplies for the army. This was not satisfied, and hundreds of thousands of stones of salt were transported. The White Wave Army came from a poor background, and his habits of wandering did not change, and he wanted everything he saw, so that the march was like moving.

Xu Huang was considered to be a relatively knowledgeable soldier under Yang Feng, so he advised Yang Feng two or three times to throw away some heavy belongings and quickly withdraw to the base area with only soft and light equipment.

But it is useless to persuade him, now that the news is closed, Yang Feng doesn't know how Zhang Ju was cut off in Youzhou last year, and it is too difficult to make the thief army give up the heavy property, and it is impossible to mature without paying the price of blood.

Even if Yang Feng agreed, he wouldn't be able to do the order and prohibit it, maybe the soldiers under his command who were reluctant to belong, would directly mutiny and stay, divide the money and go home to live their own lives, how can this be stopped?

Xu Huang only sighed: "The shaft is not enough and conspiracy!" The reason why Guan Yu's rear army did not come was that there were not enough warships to transport the troops from Qingzhou to Hedong at one time. This is calculated as the itinerary and the distance, and the interval between Guan Yu's each wave of reinforcements is only more than half a month. Calculate how much time we have left to retreat! ”

In this way, after Yang Feng retreated with a full load, a small 20,000 troops dragged three or four thousand carts from Xiangshui to Wangwu Pass, and the rear army also lifted the surveillance of Anyi County, within a day or two, Guan Yu sent thousands of cavalry to follow up like a bone appendage.

It turned out that it was Guan Yu's second batch of reinforcements, and 5,000 Danyang soldiers had arrived in Anyi.

Guan Yu asked 3,000 Danyang soldiers to guard Anyi, 2,000 people to block Pu Hanjin, and he himself freed up all the Youzhou cavalry to pursue.

As soon as he crossed the Wangwu Pass, Guan Yu took advantage of his speed advantage and sent some men to block Yang Feng's retreat to Pingyang County.

On the other hand, Ding Yuan also sent Lu Bu to block the direction of Qinshui and prevent Yang Feng from retreating to Shangdang.

So far, the battle of Baibo in Hedong has been fought for more than 20 days, and the date is already early November.

Ding Yuan's current state is very difficult, he has not been able to touch even an inch of land since the day he took office, and his jurisdiction is all in the occupied area, so he has not received taxes at all.

If you want to expand the army, there is no money and no one, and the total strength so far is only 4,000 cavalry.

……

"Damn! I didn't expect that there were many people in the official army who were greedy for money, and they were so angry that our army captured and intercepted it! Xu Huang, give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and cross the Qinshui tomorrow to break through! Guan Yu has a lot of soldiers, but there are few Ding Yuan soldiers on the Qinshui side, so let's pick a direction with fewer people to break through! ”

After discovering that there was a tendency to be surrounded by enemy troops, Yang Feng couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he ordered Xu Huang like this.

The terrain of this place in Shanxi is too unfavorable for the side that actively wants to attack or break through, the mountains and rivers cut the terrain very fragmented, and the defender can form a large encirclement anytime and anywhere with a small number of troops.

Don't look at the rough map, it seems that there are only Wangwu Mountain, Qinshui, Danshui these obstacles in this area, but in fact, as long as you look through the history of the "Battle of Changping", you will know that there is also a Kongcangling cutting battlefield that crosses Qinshui, and there are many small mountain beams such as Kongcangling.

Xu Huang couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Qu Shuai, although Ding Yuan has few soldiers, but relying on the geographical advantage, it is very difficult for us to break through, it's not that I am cowardly, I really don't want the brothers to attack and die in vain, and Qu Shuai can't underestimate the Lu Bu who led the troops, I heard that he was quite famous in Xihe and Yanmen in the early years." ”

Yang Feng: "Isn't Lu Bu a master book?" That's the civil official next to Ding Yuan, how do you know if you don't try, break through early tomorrow morning! ”

Xu Huang had no choice but to prepare to fight.

In the early morning of the next day, on the fifth day of the 11th month, Xu Huang was ordered to select a breakthrough force, open a wide front, and try to cross the Qinshui to break through.

Lu Bu on the other side had few soldiers and could not defend everywhere, so he concentrated his forces to break through each of them, and first destroyed several of Xu Huang's tentative bait troops crossing the river, and finally Xu Huang opened a hole in the movement war, allowing a vanguard force of several thousand people to gain a firm foothold on the east bank of Qinshui and wait for Lu Bu.

Lu Buzheng was killing easily, and he was very arrogant and rushed into battle with two thousand Bingzhou cavalry, and directly took Xu Huang.

"Wuyuan Lu Feng is here first, and the thief will die!" Today's Lu Bu, the armor and war horses are still relatively simple, and there is no exaggerated ornament on the helmet, but the battlefield momentum is not weak, and the state cavalry is forbidden under his rule, and there is a faint power of wind and thunder when charging.

There were few cavalry in the Baibo army, but there were still more than 100 horsemen around Xu Huang, because he had just crossed the river and lined up, Xu Huang didn't have time to let the archers release their arrows, and the two sides were directly strangled together.

"Bell! Clang! Several loud sounds, Xu Huang barely carried Lu Bu's two halberds, and the two still crossed by mistake - this is not a one-man fight, but a mutual leader to lead the army to charge and defend the formation, so the generals have already rushed over after two moves at most, and they have to face the follow-up enemy in depth. Lu Xu and the others also concentrated on slashing and killing the enemy pawns around them.

Lu Bu was surprised in his heart, he stabbed Xu Huang under the horse with two halberds, it seemed that he was a little overpowered, and there were actually talents in the thief army who could see the past in martial arts.

And Xu Huang was even more shocked, he was already numb in his mouth and suffocated in his chest in the two moves just now, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.

He made a quick decision, knowing that if he insisted on crossing the river any longer, he would only be killed worse by Lu Bu half-crossing, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to withdraw immediately, and those who had already reached the east bank also jumped into the river and fled back.

Lu Bu had few people, and his war horses couldn't swim, and he couldn't jump into the river to pursue, but he aimed at the Bai Bo army who jumped into the river on the shore and released arrows, and was escaped by Xu Huang after shooting hundreds of people.

After going back, Xu Huangli Chen crossed the river to break through, and repeatedly admonished Yang Feng with bloody lessons to make Yang Feng give up his unrealistic illusions. Although Yang Feng was angry and unwilling, he had no choice but to do so.

Just like at the beginning of the Battle of Changping, Lian Po was unwilling to wait for help and wanted to fight in the field, and after being beaten by the Qin army in Kongcangling, he knew that he could not hold out after retreating to the Dan River.

In today's battle, the beating of Yang Feng is no less than the blow that Lian Po received back then.

Fortunately, I also brought a lot of food on the return trip from this raid, and I couldn't bring it back to my hometown, but I could still eat it on the spot for a month or two.

That night, Yang Feng explained: "Let's stick to it, it is impossible for the army and the chariot to get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry, then send a light cavalry messenger, after tearing open the gap in the defense line of Lu Bu and Guan Yu, let the messenger find Guo Shuai, Hu Cai, and Li Le for help, we are willing to share half of the looted property to the friendly army, let them come to the rescue." If they can fight us back and forth, it will be impossible for Lu Bu to block us. ”

Xu Huang had no reason to oppose this arrangement, so he carried it out.

After all, the siege around Changping is different from the siege, Guan Yu and Lu Bu can only prevent the slow army from breaking through, and they can't prevent the light cavalry from sending the letter.

But within two days, the reply from the reinforcements did not arrive, but Lu Bu sent a letter to Yang Feng first.

Yang Feng took a look at it and immediately scolded.

Xu Huang was unclear for a while, and couldn't help but persuade Yang Feng to calm his anger: "Why is Qu Shuai so angry? ”

Yang Feng pointed at the letter fiercely: "Then Lu Bu dared to speak, and even asked us for 100 million gold silk to buy road money, so he let go of the Qinshui defense line, pretending that the defense was not strict and let us leave." He also said that the hundreds of thousands of stone salt were too conspicuous, and he didn't want to bear the name of arsonist, so he didn't want to, just all our gold silk. Hehe, he still thinks he has a small appetite? ”

Xu Huang hurriedly picked up the letter and read it carefully, it turned out that Lu Bu said it very bluntly, because Guan Yu promised him that after destroying Yang Feng, he would divide the account fifty-fifty, if Guan Yu's next batch of reinforcements arrived, and the soldiers of Hedong County would be further higher than the soldiers of Hanoi, then the share to Ding Yuan and Lu Bu would be reduced, and only thirty percent would be given at that time.

Lu Bu saw that "thirty percent of the gold silk plus thirty percent of the salt is not as valuable as all the gold silk", so after calculating the accounts, he gave Yang Feng a chance, as long as he handed over all the money, he would let him go.

Guan Yu probably never dreamed that he would follow Li Su's strategy and have such a big loophole - the friendly army he encountered this time was such a low discipline value, and he could buy and release water with a little private money.

It's a pity that Yang Feng is still reluctant, he thinks that he didn't pay so much to let Li Lehu come to save him, so why should he give in to Lu Bu?

Xu Huang begged bitterly: "Qu Shuai, I think it's better to give all the money to Lu Bu, if you have to wait for Hu Cai and Li Le to rescue, even if you come, the brothers in this bloody battle will have to suffer heavy casualties before they can break through Lu Bu." Can't you just look at money, so that the lives of the brothers don't matter? ”

Yang Fengyi waved his hand: "Gongming, how can there be such a woman's kindness?" Human life in troubled times is worthless, and these soldiers have not been with us for long, as long as this court continues to be mediocre and corrupt, we will have a steady stream of soldiers! But I remember that during the spring famine this year, we were forced to rebel by the money and grain taxes that were provided to Yu Fuluo, and two buckets of rice could be exchanged for a human life to sell your life!

I still remember that when Guo Shuai took us and Hu Cai to attack the Shangdang Huguan together, no one rushed through the gap in the wall, and finally relied on the pile of human corpses to be as high as the gap! How were those daredevils recruited? It's not that five white-flour cakes for the hungry people who have been captured will kill one person! Even if 10,000 brothers die, as long as we keep the money, there are still tens of thousands of hungry people waiting for us to raise and rob them! ”

Xu Huang was dumbfounded when he heard this, how could the account be calculated like this! This is not to treat the brothers as human beings!

At that time, five pieces of bread and one life were the most bitter time of the spring famine, and there was no way, how could it be like this all the time now!

However, there was no way, just because the price could not be negotiated for a while, and Yang Feng was confident again that "Lu Bu negotiated with us, it must be that he was afraid that Hu Cai would attack his back", so the more he was so, the more unwilling he was to compromise.

This is also to blame Lu Bu for his lack of IQ, and the tone and attitude of the letter when persuading the other party to give money are not vivid enough, which makes people see the illusion of "I don't want to fight a tough battle", and the mistake ended up like this.

is obviously a hawk, but he is regarded as a dove when he writes letters, and he can only say that his writing skills are not enough.

So, after half a month, the Baibo army and the official army were on the same page, in mid-November, Hu Cai, one of the commanders of the Baibo Qu, came to support Yang Feng first, but Lu Bu divided his troops before and after to reject Qinshui and Danshui, and Hu Cai was unable to cross the river.

However, because the enemy army was not tame enough, LΓΌ Bu fought with him again, resulting in LΓΌ Bu's army also suffering casualties, and the "war reparations" offered by the embarrassed and angry LΓΌ Bu army was even higher.

Yang Feng took out more promises and lured the Qu Shuai Li Le to support, and finally Li Le and Hu Cai joined forces, and Lu Bucai gave up blocking in Danshui in a cowardly battle, so that Yang Li and Hu successfully joined forces.

However, Lu Bu had the advantage of cavalry speed and could fight and run, so he further detoured back to the Baili Stone further behind, and enveloped the Yang, Li and Hu families. And Guan Yu, who was on the frontal battlefield, pursued further in the process of Yang Feng's breakthrough to the northeast, chased after Qinshui, which was abandoned by Yang Feng, and forced Danshui from the south side.

As a result, Yang Lihu only retreated less than 100 miles to the northeast, and was finally surrounded by more and more Guan Yu and Lu Bu's army. The soldiers on both sides are gathering more and more, the three Qu Shuai of Baibo have a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the Han army has also increased to 15,000 people - the third wave of Guan Yu's army has also arrived, this time it is 5,000 Wuhuan cavalry.

Both sides have entered a state of insufficient offense and more than enough defense, and the three Bai Bo Qu Marshals know that the Han army has many cavalry, so they can only build fortifications and defend according to the terrain, as long as they enter the sports battle, they will definitely be eaten away by Guan Yu and Lu Bu.

This is like the two-horse subsidy war in the business world in later generations, at first I just felt that I couldn't swallow it in one breath, and I wanted to subsidize it to end the battle in one go, but who knew that the other party also followed the chips, and in the end, it was like a martial arts master competing for internal strength, and whoever withdrew first would be seriously injured or even worried about his life.

"I knew it would be like this, how good it was to directly promise to give Lu Bu 100 million money to let us go, why should I be so greedy?" Yang Feng poured his sorrows on the only bad wine in the army every day, and regretted that his intestines were green.

"Why did I offer 100 million in MeSign in the first place? If I were less greedy and only needed 80 million, would Yang Feng give it? Don't have to continue fighting? Lu Bu was also remorseful in the camp.

Of course, he is not war-weary, but purely feels that if the battle is fought, even if he wins, he will not be able to get the big head.

In the case that the two sides have already placed bets and pressed down, no one can take it back, and can only continue to increase the stakes, even if the value of the chips that were fought for at the beginning is far inferior to the bets added later.

The Bai Bo army continued to shoot the light cavalry messenger over the mountains and mountains to find the Southern Xiongnu pseudo-single Yu Bu Guduhou, then Guan Yu and Lu Bu of course also had to find the Southern Xiongnu regular single Yu Fuluo, and the two sides pulled the chips on the card table more and more.

However, compared with Yang Feng, Guan Yu still has one advantage, that is, he knows that Yang Lihu is surrounded around Changping, and sooner or later there will be a day when the food will run out.

The tens of thousands of stone military rations they robbed on the road are now going to feed 50,000 or 60,000 people, how long can they eat?

Zhao Kuo had to fight Bai Qi on the 46th, can Yang Feng last until 46 days?

In this way, the two armies held each other in the triangle of Danhe, Changping, and Bailishi, which lacked cities, until December.

Since late November, the Southern Hun cavalry of both sides of the Zheng and Pseudo sides have also participated in the battle under the temptation of interests, but the Marquis of Xubu Gu is definitely unwilling to fight a tough battle, and will not enter the encirclement.

As for Yu Fuluo, Guan Yu spent tens of millions of money in advance to invite him to help in the battle, and asked Yu Fuluo to be responsible for helping the weak side of Lu Bu to prevent the White Wave Thieves from retreating from Kongcang Ridge to the upper party.

The entire southeast of Jin Province was in a mess.

However, Guan Yu did not calculate the degree of military discipline corruption of the Southern Xiongnu cavalry in Hedong and Hanoi for more than a year.

It was not enough for Yu Fu Luo to take some advance money and daily military rations, and occasionally plundered the local people, and even replenished supplies from friendly strongholds, and conflicts soon broke out between Lu Bu and Yu Furo.

One day in mid-December, the contradiction of Huvro, an unreliable friendly army, entered a tense posture because of an unexpected incident.

"Report! Captain, the army came to report that yesterday in Hyun County, where Yufuluo was stationed, Yufuluo's army and Lu Bu clashed because of looting, and they almost went to war! The sentinel in the army immediately passed on the bad news to Guan Yu.

"What? What's going on? Guan Yu was also a little nervous.

Hyunshi County is located north of Kongcang Ridge

"Yes...... That's right, that Yufro, as a Hu chieftain, is extremely ...... is extremely lustful, and anyone who helps to fight everywhere and encounters a Han woman who is stunning wants to rob it. Yesterday in Hyun County, another stunning woman surnamed Du was found, and Yu Fuluo was going to be hired as a concubine.

Who knew that the Du clan was hired in advance by Qin Yilu, a Qu military marquis under the Ding Thorn History account, and he also wanted to marry a wife, and the people of the state army went to rob people, and the two sides had a fire, Yu Fuluo's people killed the bitter lord Qin Junhou, and Lu Bu led people to kill a thousand commanders under Yu Fuluo, and snatched the Du clan back. Now both of them were afraid that the matter would become a big affair and turn into a total military merger, so they also temporarily restrained themselves and asked the lieutenant to mediate. ”

"These Hu people! The lustful nature does not change! How different from beasts! I almost missed the major events of the imperial court! Guan Yu hated and repented of the case, and he knew that he would not take advantage of the grudge between the Marquis of Xubu Gudu and Yu Fuluo.

Guan Yu didn't know that according to the original trajectory of history, Yu Fuluo, a womanizer, should rob Cai Yan for a while.

But Cai Yan didn't come to Hedong because of the butterfly effect, and even Wei Zhongdao, who was supposed to be Cai Yan's husband, was robbed and killed by the white wave thieves, and he also washed the family wealth that the Wei family had accumulated over the years to protect the salt lords.

As a result, Yu Fuluo, who had nowhere to vent his energy, actually robbed Du Shi, the wife of Qin Yilu, a general of the state army, who was about to pass through the door - but from the perspective of God, this is also normal.

Because at present, you can't find a more beautiful woman than Du Shi on the territory of the merger state, and changing a woman may not be able to make the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu and the merge state army grab it. Yu Fuluo's vision is still quite high, how can he be more beautiful than Cai Yan to enter his eyes.

Guan Yu hurriedly spent some money to appease both Yu Fuluo and the Bingzhou army a little, and then considering that Qin Yilu died before he married a wife, Guan Yu had already taken the Du family over and locked him up as a mediator, so as not to irritate both parties.

Then, he reported the current situation of the entire southeast of Jin into this pot of porridge, and Xingye sent a letter to Liu Bei with a fast horse, wanting to see how Liu Bei asked him to deal with it.

Even if there is no Du clan, just the fact that the friendly forces in several states may have uneven distribution of spoils in the future, it is no longer something that Guan Yu can deal with.

Within a few days, the imperial court first came to appease Ding Yuan, stabilized Yu Fuluo, and ordered Guan Yu and Ding Yuan to continue to strictly implement the established strategy of "besieging the main force of the White Wave Thieves in Changping and waiting for their food to run out".

As for diplomatic disputes, they were handed over to the soon-to-be-appointed envoy to the Xiongnu Zhonglang General.

Guan Yu also knew that he had caused a little trouble, so he didn't dare to be self-conscious, and strictly followed the order. After besieging the main force of the Baibo Army for half a month, he entered the first month of the sixth year of Zhongping, so that Li Su, the Xiongnu Zhonglang general, finally drove back from Liaodong thousands of miles away.

PS: This is actually 6,000 words...... But today there will still be three more, that is, in addition to these 6,000 words, there are two more, adding up to at least 12,000.

Originally, I didn't want to accept Xu Huang, the readers' voices were too high, and some readers wanted to see Guan Yuyijin's return to their hometowns, so I temporarily added so many plays. Finally, it took two days to desperately catch up with the schedule, and the timeline and the main line were bridged again, and I hope that the readers who are chasing more are not impatient.
