Chapter 269: Yuan Yao's Strike, Guan Yuping Runan
Liu Zhibing was defeated repeatedly, but he was never discouraged, and finally occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou with the assistance of Zhuge Shensuan, if it weren't for Guan Piaopiaopiao's once, Liu Zhibing was defeated again, maybe Liu Zhibing could really defeat Cao Cao and dominate the world!!
For such a hero, Yuan Yao naturally will not underestimate him, if there is a real chance to get him out of the game in advance, Yuan Yao can even do whatever it takes, Yuan Yao does not have the habit of cultivating the enemy first and then defeating it, since ancient times, villains have died of being suppressed by IQ!!
However, if you want to calculate Liu Bei, this matter is not as easy as you think, when Liu Bei was in Hebei, there were guards of Yuan Shao's army, and Yuan Yao's brocade guards had no chance to see Liu Bei, let alone deal with him; After Liu Bei crossed the river, he had tens of thousands of enemy bodyguards like Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun around him, and even Cao Cao had no chance to kill Liu Bei, let alone Yuan Yao's Jinyi guard.
After Liu Bei arrived in Jingzhou, he would garrison the area with Xinye, which was the place where Liu Biao and Cao Cao fought in Jingzhou, and the closest arrangement to Xinye under Yuan Yao's command was only the Jiangxia general Chen and thousands of soldiers and horses in the area of Anlu, which was not enough for Liu Bei's tiger and wolf generals to eat.
As for the rest of the soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, they are still fighting against the Jingzhou army, and there is no way to mobilize them at all, not to mention that the situation in Nanyang County is complicated, and it is easy to arouse Cao Cao's idea to use troops there, and Yuan Yao did not dare to use troops there before he swept Jiangdong.
Yuan Yao thought about it and couldn't find a way to deal with Liu Bei, so he could only temporarily extinguish the thoughts in his heart.
Pang Tong saw that after Yuan Yao listened to Mao Xiang's report, he made a thoughtful look and kept silent, thinking that Yuan Yao was worried that Cao Cao's return to the army would not affect his attack on Jiangdong, so he stepped forward and said: "The lord is worried that Cao's army will return to Xudu, will it affect our army's attack on Jiangdong?" ”
Liu Bei is still an old dick, no one can guess that he will become the emperor of Shuzhong in the future, Yuan Yao naturally said to Pang Tong that he was worried about Liu Bei, so he could only respond and said: "What Shiyuan said is good, Cao Cao has always been very jealous of me, and now he leads the army to return to Xudu, and our army must guard against it." ”
Pang Tong smiled slightly, and said: "The lord is too worried, Yuan Shao has a million army in the land of Sizhou, although Cao Cao has a slight victory, but it has not yet hurt the vitality of the Hebei army, Yuan Shao attaches great importance to his own face, and now he has been defeated by Cao Cao twice in a row, Yuan Shao can be said to have lost a lot of face, I expect that after Yuan Shao's army has a little rest in Wuyang, Yuan Shao will definitely lead the army south to find Cao Cao for revenge!" Now that the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao has not yet been completely decided, Yuan Shao may wave his army south at any time to attack the Central Plains again, as long as our army does not show flaws, Cao Cao will not dare to let his army go south easily! ”
"Now that all the soldiers and horses of our army are taking a little rest, Cao's army has no opportunity to take advantage of it, and Cao Cao is even more afraid to use troops against the lord. However, if the lord is really not at ease, he can order General Li Siye's troops and horses to withdraw to Jiujiang County first. Now that the two forces of the Sun family have temporarily joined forces, General Li's troops and horses are stationed in Moling, which has become a lonely army, not only difficult to make a difference, but also under the watchful eye of several Jiangdong troops. Order General Li's troops and horses to withdraw to Jiujiang County, and then order General Huo Jun to lead the army back to Shouchun, so that the front to defend Cao's army can be completed again, so that the three counties of Lujiang can be guaranteed! ”
"Now Cao Cao's garrison Xu Du is eyeing the land east of my Jianghuai River, and our army is under the pressure of Cao's army, and it may be difficult to start another expedition. However, Yuan Shao is indecisive, and Yuan Shao's subordinates are mostly short-sighted people who are greedy for merit, I expect that Yuan Shao's army will be difficult to rest for a long time, and when Yuan Shao's army goes south again, Cao Cao will inevitably lead his army north to meet the battle, and at that time, it will be the time when the Lord will determine Jiangdong and Yangzhou together! ”
The reason why Yuan Yao did not move after capturing Huiji County also has this consideration, after all, the battle of Guandu in history is divided into two stages, Cao Cao also once retreated to Xudu for a period of time, Yuan Yao was expected to this, so after capturing the Huiji army, he ordered the soldiers and horses to stop advancing, and it happened that the Jiangdong army also needed a period of time to adjust the soldiers and horses, and the land of Jiangdong was strangely calm.
Yuan Yao nodded and responded: "Send an order to Li Siye, and ask him to lead the army back to Jiujiang County to guard against Cao's army; Then he sent an order to Huo Jun, ordering him to lead the army back to Shouchun immediately after Li Siye's troops and horses returned; The Yellow Turban Army Qu Shuai Liu Pi Gong Du and others are just some ordinary people, they will be difficult to fight against the Cao army, the foundation of the Yellow Turban in Runan is in the southeast of Runan County, which is adjacent to my Jiujiang County, so that Li Siye led the army back to Jiujiang County, immediately sent troops to Runan, this battle does not need to attack the city, only plunder its money and food and return the people, in order to enrich the population under our rule. ”
Pang Tong replied with a smile: "No, the minister will let people go to pass the order, and General Li will have another opportunity to establish his military exploits, and he will be extremely happy in his heart." ”
The reason why Yuan Yao ordered Li Siye to attack Runan County was also to compensate him a little, and he responded with a smile, and asked Pang Tong to go and give Li Siye an order.
。。。。。。
Yuzhang, Runan County border, Cao Jun camp.
Yun Chang led 50,000 soldiers and horses all the way to the hurry, and after a few days, he finally arrived at the junction of Runan County and Chen County, which was close to the place of operation of Runan Yellow Turbans, Guan Yu did not know the situation of Runan County, so he set up a large camp here, preparing to send sentry cavalry to find out the situation of the Runan Yellow Turban Army before marching.
That night, when Guan Yu was reading the Spring and Autumn History Book at night, a sergeant suddenly came to report outside the tent, they caught two fine works, Guan Yu hurriedly ordered the sergeant to bring the fine work in, after the sergeant came in with the fine work, Guan Yu looked fixedly, only to see that one of them was his acquaintance, Sun Qian, one of Liu Bei's henchmen!
After Guan Gong recognized Sun Gan, he hurriedly ordered the sergeant to retreat, and then asked, "Since the army broke up, I have not found any trace of you, I don't know why you are here?" Do you have any news from anyone else? ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Sun Gan's eyes, and he did not directly answer Guan Yu's words, but asked rhetorically: "After the fall of Xuzhou, I drifted to the Runan area, fortunately Liu Pi and others took me in, so I can calm down here, I don't know why the general is in Cao Cao's army?" ”
Guan Yu saw the look in Sun Gan's eyes, so he told Sun Gan everything about the fact that he was trapped in the mountains and had to surrender to Cao Cao for Liu Bei's family, as well as what happened after he surrendered to Cao Cao.
Sun Qian saw that Guan Yu was quite organized and sincere, so he answered his previous question: "I recently heard that the lord is in Yuan Shao, Hebei, and I am planning to go to Hebei to join the lord, but there has been no suitable opportunity. Now that Liu Pi and Gong Du have joined Yuan Shao, I am planning to use the names of the two of them to go to the Hebei army. But these days and heard that Cao Cao sent an army to attack Runan, I have not set off, today the scout reported that Cao Jun camped here, I wanted to observe nearby to see if there is a way to break the enemy, but I was caught by the Cao army sergeant, fortunately I met the general, otherwise I am afraid I will die! ”
After Guan Yu heard Liu Bei's whereabouts, he was immediately overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to go to Hebei to serve Liu Bei now, but he thought about it, he was now leading the army for Cao Cao to conquer Runan, if the war was not over, he would return to Xudu first, and he would definitely be suspicious of Cao Cao at that time, so he would definitely be hindered if he wanted to go to Hebei.
After Sun Qian saw Guan Yu's expression, he guessed his mind and said, "The general is worried about the war in Runan?" ”
Guan Yu sighed and said: "Since I already know that my brother is in Yuan Shao, Hebei, I must go to Hebei to serve my brother in the starry night, but I am now leading the troops for Cao Cao, if I can't pacify Runan and return alone, Cao Cao will definitely be suspicious, and I'm afraid that Cao Cao will prevent me from going to Hebei to find my brother." But if you want to pacify Runan, you have to fight with Liu Bigong and others, how can I do this? ”
Sun Qian laughed a few times and said: "Don't worry, general, this matter is easy to do, when the general marches, I will let the two of them lose a trick, and then the general can just march, and after the general pacifies Runan, it is not too late to return to Xu Du and take the two ladies to Hebei to serve the lord!" ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he hurriedly thanked him: "If this can be the case, it would be great, but I have killed Yuan Shao's two generals before, and I don't know how my brother is now, hey!" ”
Sun Qian pondered for a moment, and said: "The lord Ji people have their own destiny, and they will not encounter danger in the future, the lord can continue to lead the army here, I will go to Hebei to investigate the situation of the lord first, and then report to the general!" ”
Guan Yu heard the voice and responded: "As long as I can see my brother, even if it is ten thousand deaths, I will never regret it." After returning to Xudu, I immediately bid farewell to Cao Cao and went to Hebei, and Gongyou could take the first step. ”。
After Guan Yu and Sun Qian agreed to go to Hebei to find Liu Bei, they ordered their henchmen to send Sun Gan out of the camp.
Early the next morning, Guan Yu led the army under his command to Runan and went straight to the Yellow Turban Army camp, Liu Pi had already led the main army to flee back to the Yellow Turban Army's foundation, and saw the Cao army killing, Gong Du raised troops to meet the battle. Gong Du and Guan Yu fought several times, and then went away, Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to wave his army to cover up, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated all the way, Guan Yu led his soldiers and horses to take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the city, but in a few days to pacify the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Runan.
