Chapter 369: Shock
And Yuan Shu has a restrain on Sun Ce, if Sun Ce does not obey orders, with Yuan Shu's influence in Jiangdong County, it is enough to make Sun Ce fall into a desperate situation.
Besides, Sun Ce and Liu Biao already have a deep hatred, and attacking Jiangxia is also a matter of deservedness.
After discussing with the strategists and generals in the army for a long time, Yuan Shu was a lot relieved, and the urgency of the situation made Yuan Shu feel his own shortcomings.
Fortunately, there is now a Hun cavalry in the army, so that there is a few more chances of victory against the Jingzhou army.
This situation also gave Yuan Shu an urgent desire to improve his strength, especially the elite cavalry, which could play a too big role on the battlefield, and how to form cavalry faster, Yuan Shu set his sights on the Xiongnu tribe.
The Xiongnu lived in the territory of the Han people, but they still lived according to their old way of life, but they had strict control over the blades of their arms, and they also had to follow the orders of the Han officials.
The reason why Yu Fuluo helped Yuan Shu was not to get rid of the predicament of the Xiongnu tribe, as long as the Xiongnu tribe had enough strength, it was inevitable that they would not be able to do more when the Han Dynasty was turbulent, and there was even the possibility of retaking the grassland from the hands of the Xianbei people.
The battle between the Jingzhou army, the Lu Bu army, and the Yuan Shu army affected the hearts of the princes, and the result of the battle was beyond their expectations.
Originally, the princes were not optimistic about Lu Bu, otherwise, the Jingzhou army would have sent troops a long time ago, and they would have to wait until now, and the reason why Yuan Shao supported Lu Bu at this time was also to borrow Lu Bu's strength to consume Lu Bu's strength as much as possible.
But LΓΌ Bu led the army to win one victory after another in the war, and even forced Yuan Shu had to give up Liang and Pei, and the Yanzhou army was dispatched to seize Jiyin County and Chenliu County with the power of thunder.
After a battle, he captured the land of the four counties, and these four counties are also quite rich, as long as these counties are stabilized, Lu Bu's strength will be greatly improved.
The princes even foresaw that a powerful prince was rising in the south of the empire, and after this war, even Yuan Shu and Liu Biao would be more cautious about Lu Bu, even if they wanted to start a war, they would have to take Lu Bu's terrifying strength into account.
The atmosphere in the Jingzhou army is also a little dignified, as the commander of the army Cai Mao, felt a lot of pressure, the vanguard army failed, this is the whole army, is not a small setback, if you can not lead the army officers and soldiers out of the shadow of defeat as soon as possible, it will definitely have a great impact on the next war.
At this time, the news that the Yanzhou army had seized Jiyin County and Chenliu County came one after another.
This made Cai Mao's mood more and more unkind, how many soldiers and horses there are in Yanzhou, and how many troops are still under Lu Bu's command, it is in this situation that the Yanzhou army can still seize Chenliu County and Jiyin County from Yuan Shu, but the Jingzhou army dispatched tens of thousands of people and failed to open up the situation on the battlefield in Yingchuan.
Originally, Cai Mao had some ideas about Chenliu County and Jiyin County, as long as the Jingzhou army broke through Yingchuan strongly, it would definitely make the officials under Yuan Shu's rule panic, and then there would be more civilian and military generals who secretly defected to the Jingzhou army, so why not take advantage of the situation to seize more cities.
"I don't want Lu Bu's methods to be so terrible." Cai Mao said slowly.
Liu Pan said: "Lu Bu is just an opportunist, if it weren't for our army to contain Yuan Shu's army, how could he have captured Jiyin County and Chenliu County so easily." β
Cai Mao shook his head and said: "That's not the case, when the Yanzhou army attacked Chenliu County, it directly drove Liang Gang out of the city by means of a frontal attack. β
"Frontal attack?" Some of the unknown generals looked puzzled.
"It is said that at that time, there was a sharp weapon in the Yanzhou army, which could directly break through the city gate, which led to the Yanzhou army's attack on Chenliu, if it were not, it was only with the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Yanzhou army that it could break through Chenliu." Cai Mao said.
When the generals in the army heard this, their hearts shook, what kind of sharp weapon can directly break through the city gate, if there is such a sharp weapon in the Jingzhou army, why can't they break through Yingchuan, and still use it to confront the enemy like this.
Cao Cao said: "Although Lu Bu is said to be a military general, there are Jia Xu, Chen Deng and others under his command, these people all have advanced strategies, Lu Bu secretly went to Changyi to attack Chen Liu and Jiyin, and he must have had a plan for a long time." β
For Lu Bu, Cao Cao can be said to have more understanding, and his hatred for Lu Bu is also difficult for ordinary people to understand, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu joined forces, Cao Cao is now the Yanzhou pastor of the Han Dynasty, and there is no need to send people under the fence like this.
If Cao Cao was the pastor of Jingzhou, Yingchuan, Chen Liu, and Jiyin would fall under the control of the Jingzhou army at this time, not the current scene.
Now that Yang Zhai is guarded by an army led by Ji Ling, and there are Hun cavalry to respond, the Jingzhou army may be able to break through Yang Zhai, and the price paid will inevitably be not small.
The key is to see if Liu Biao has such determination.
The time in Jingzhou is not short, Cao Cao is still quite disappointed with Liu Biao's performance, holding a male army, but he can't grasp the opportunity, or he can't control the officials under his rule, such a monarch is definitely unqualified.
"In Mende's opinion, what should I do?" Cai Mao set her sights on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said: "The person Yuan Shu is currently relying on is the Hun cavalry, if the Hun cavalry is defeated, then Yuan Shu is not worried." β
"The Hun cavalry is strong, and it may not be easy to defeat it." Cai Mao said.
The generals in the army also recognized Cai Mao's statement, and the failure of the vanguard army had a great deal to do with the Hun cavalry.
Wen Ping's expression was a little gloomy, he was a general in the Jingzhou army, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss in the hands of the Hun cavalry, such a failure was intolerable to any general.
"The Hun cavalry is arrogant, and there is a certain strategy that can defeat the Hun cavalry." Cao Cao said slowly.
The generals in the tent turned their eyes to Cao Cao.
"Although the strength of the Hun cavalry is strong, it is not good at strategy, and now there are a lot of Hun cavalry activities near Yangzhai, and only one ambush is needed to solve the Hun cavalry." Cao Cao said confidently.
Cai Mao said with a smile: "Meng De is quite strategic in leading the troops to fight, and this matter will be handed over to Meng De to be responsible." β
"I received the order, but there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses in a certain army, and if you want the Hun cavalry to fail, you need more soldiers and horses, and I hope the governor can agree." Cao Cao said.
