Chapter 730: The Military Capital City Lost, Wang Song and Liu Fang Panic (Three-in-One)
"My lord! There is a small road out of Jixian County to the northwest into the mountain, which winds and turns to lead to the military capital. If there is a strong force going around here, first north and then east, it should be enough to make Gongsun Chan and Xu Ding startled. ”
Xu You suddenly showed a weird smile, Yuan Shao was even more energetic, and urged: "Ziyuan continues!" ”
Yuan Shao believed that Xu You's strategy definitely did not refer to these. The follow-up is the point.
So anxious to know.
This may really be a chance to turn the tables around, and he desperately needs to seize it.
Xu You continued: "The lord can't guarantee that Xu Ding's shrewdness will not prevent us from sneaking attack, so we can't just have this dark line, but also have a bright line, and send a force to cross the bath from the east to attack the military capital."
This direction would attract Xu Ding's attention, and in the event of success on the west, the troops from the east would be able to support and consolidate the gains. ”
"Good! Good! Good! Ziyuan is really my son's room, this plan is very good, so let's do it. Yuan Shao stroked his palms in agreement, and this time a smile finally appeared on his face.
Xu You's face was naturally filled with the same excited look, but he said in his heart: "This is a cup of poison, and I won't know if I can quench my thirst after drinking it." ”
The military capital, how about taking it?
Yuan Shao, who quickly recovered his spirits, immediately ate a full meal, and then recruited his subordinates Yan Liang, Wei Yuanjin, Zhao Rui, Ma Yan, Zhang, Su You, Yin Kui and others.
Let Yan Liang take the elite cavalry to carry out the obvious, cross the bath in the east, make a false impression of a sneak attack on the military capital, and then let Ma Yan and Zhang lead the elite foot soldiers into the mountain and take the trail to the military capital mountain, and go down the mountain to the northwest of the military capital city.
In the next few days, the Donglai army was still the same, and did not attack the city occupied by Yuan Shao, but cleaned up other cities and families in Youzhou, especially Yuyang and Zhuojun.
This made Yuan Shao feel a little more relieved, which showed that Xu Dingbu was not ready for the final blow, and he still had time to counteract and turn the tables.
In the military capital city, Xu Ding has been paying attention to the affairs of various places in Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan led the White Horse Army to Changping City and confronted him.
Soon Gongsun Zhan took the crowd to travel around Youzhou, and even ran to Jixian County to fight for prestige, and then disappeared at night.
Xu Dingsui besieged Changping City with the left cavalry guards, and did not stay in the military capital all the time.
Soon, the news that Yan Liang crossed the bath and wanted to sneak attack the military capital reached him.
Xu Ding asked Xun You: "Yuan Shao still wants to turn the tables, but this is not a good move, and the probability of success is less than ten percent." ”
Xun You said: "Yuan Shao must have other tricks, Xu Ziyuan is also fast and ruthless, it is unlikely that he will only play such a simple chess move, I guess he either wants to use Yan Liang to attract my left cavalry guard and the White Horse Army to besiege and kill Yan Liang, so that other armies can get a chance to operate, and they can counterattack other aspects."
Either he really wants to take the military capital, but I don't know if he wants to send a lead to attack directly from Changping, or from other aspects. ”
"Whatever it is? In short, Yan Liang is here, we can't let him run, it's better to destroy Yuan Shao's cavalry first, and then he can only obediently sit in the city without cavalry, waiting for us to get rid of them one by one. Xu Ding looked through the circle of friends of the plug-in Xiaoba, and Yuan Shao's news was completely gone, so it was difficult to conclude what the hell Yuan Shao was thinking.
But now that Yan Liang is caught, he has to eat it in one bite, otherwise he will be so sorry for his two cavalry.
So Xu Ding sent someone to inform Gongsun Zan and asked him to lead the White Horse Army to the bath and go down to intercept and encircle.
Xu Ding himself took the left cavalry guard to cross the bath and go to the east of the military capital to intercept Yan Liang.
Yan Liang's total number of cavalry was more than 10,000 horses, and there were not many soldiers and horses.
However, when he saw the left cavalry guard coming, he was so frightened that he immediately retreated with the horses.
I wanted to return to the south bank by the same route, but I soon detected that the White Horse Army was heading north, and I was afraid that Bandu would be attacked, so I changed the route and went east to Ben'an Lecheng.
Xu Ding and Gongsun Zhan pursued each other, and their first priority was to cut off Yuan Shao's cavalry before the decisive battle, completely lock Yuan Shao's army, let him scatter all over the place, and then use the concentrated superior army to eat them one by one.
So this time Yan Liang is running away, and Xu Ding is chasing too tightly behind, once he stops, he will be besieged by two cavalry, twice as many enemy cavalry, and Yan Liang is arrogant and does not dare to block.
"Good news, lord! Good news! Xu Ding and Gongsun Zhan pursued General Yan Liang, and our army could take the military capital with a sneak attack. Xu You found out that Xu Ding actually took all the left cavalry guards to chase Yan Liang, and he was happy to report.
"It's really good news, both enemy cavalry legions have been transferred, and this time it's hard work." Yuan Shao shook his hands into a fist, also a little excited, and then ordered: "Let the lead move attack, deceive Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Yue." ”
After receiving the order to attack, he immediately led the army to prepare to cross the river to the north to attack the capital.
This time, Gongsun Xu and others in the military capital city were gearing up, and Gongsun Zan and others in front did not come back, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Everyone had no spirit, and was pressed and beaten by Yuan Shao, and now Gongsun Zan has returned, and it has been merged into the Xu Ding Department.
The Gongsun family wants to eat the Xu family's bowl of rice and become one of the largest forces in the world.
The motivation of Gongsun Xu and the others exploded all of a sudden.
Their desire for war is stronger, and they want to prove their worth in order to gain the approval of Xu Ding, so that they can become an indispensable part of the Donglai army.
Therefore, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Xu led the troops out of the city together to fight with Zhao.
Gongsun Fan, who stayed in the city, couldn't help but feel a little sullen.
"Cross the river!" With a finger of the long sword, Yuan Jun crossed the river in two ways.
Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Xu blocked the attack separately, commanded the soldiers to shoot arrows to launch a counterattack, and resolutely did not lead to cross the river.
There is no merit in defending the city, although it is also guarding the river here, but it is a great achievement, and the loss of soldiers and horses is still less, which is the most cost-effective.
Therefore, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Xu began to block and attack without waiting for Yuan Jun to come.
When the two sides were fighting at the Yuyu River, Gongsun Fan, who was dozing off in the city, was suddenly woken up.
"The general is not good, Ximen is attacked by the enemy, and he is almost unable to withstand it."
"What's that? Simon was attacked, who attacked, how is this possible? Gongsun Fan looked confused, the west side of the west is Juyong Pass, that is his own people, how can there be an enemy from this side to attack the military capital.
If Juyong Pass is lost or something, he will also receive the news as soon as possible, and now Shanggu County is fine, and Liu Bei's dog thing is just stealing from Daijun.
"General, this is true, the coming army began to use the banner of the Donglai Army, and the defense of the city was temporarily unchecked, and they captured the outer city, and at this time they are fighting for the inner city wall." The visitor anxiously explained.
At this time, Gongsun Fan was finally not calm, the whole person trembled, drew his sword and shouted: "What are you doing so much, let Lao Tzu take it back, quickly, transfer the soldiers and horses from all over the city, the city gate can not be lost, and if it is lost, they cannot be allowed to enter the main street, and they must be driven out." ”
Gongsun Fan rushed over with his personal guards in a hurry, and encountered the enemy troops entering the city on the main road of Xicheng.
They were wearing Yuan Shao's banner and wearing all Yuan Shao's clothes.
Gongsun Fan's scalp is big, Yuan Shao's people, playing with eggs, where did these guys come from.
If the military capital is lost, Gongsun Chan will not spare him, and Xu Ding will not let him go, and his military career will be over.
"Kill!"
As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Fan could only fight hard, and rushed over bravely with his personal guards, fighting with Yuan Jun.
This time, Gongsun Fan has no way out, and he can still retreat with Gongsun Zhan, because Gongsun Chan is a brother, and he does not need to be punished for nepotism.
And it is determined that the law here is strict, and those who are derelict in their duties will be held accountable.
"Kill, kill me, eliminate Gongsun Fan, and take the military capital!"
Ma Yan and Zhang are not good at stubble, at this time, halfway through the capture of the city, seeing the steady stream of Gongsun Fan guarding the city, they are also ruthless, waving weapons and rushing to the front.
This is the last chance for their Jizhou army to turn the tables, and they must work hard, and the hopes of the officers and men of the whole army are pinned on the hands of the two of them, and they can only advance and not retreat.
The two armies, who had no way out, fought hand-to-hand on the main street of the city, and the fight was extremely fierce.
The corpses were lying on top of each other, the blood was flowing like a river, and the armor and banners were all over the ground.
Half an hour later, the battle was over, but the aura of slaughter still permeated the entire city.
"Report! The eldest prince was not in a good situation, the military capital was attacked by Yuan Shao's people, and General Gongsun was killed in battle. ”
More than a dozen horsemen ran from the direction of the military capital, ran to Gongsun Xu's side, and shouted with a crying voice.
"What?" Gongsun Xuchu, who was blocking and leading the army in Yuyuhe, and was still a little secretly proud, heard a look of surprise on his face, plucked out his ears and asked:
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"The eldest prince, the military is very strong, we dare not lie, the military capital was captured by the Yuan army, they don't know how to get to the west gate, from there to attack the city......"
Gongsun Xu almost fell off his horse, his whole brain tingled, and he suddenly realized when he looked at the army of recruits who were still trying to attack, and then retreated.
"What a sinister move, Ming Xiu plank road, secretly crossing Chen Cang, we have been tricked." Gongsun was not too stupid to continue, and hurriedly said: "Contact my uncle immediately, and we will withdraw!" ”
Soon Gongsun Yue heard the news, and reluctantly led the troops to withdraw from the battle of Yuyu River, and the two converged two by one, Gongsun Yue still asked with some disbelief: "Big Prince, what's going on?" ”
Gongsun Xu didn't bother to explain that he pulled out the person who reported the news and asked them to explain it to Gongsun Yue.
This time, Gongsun Yue was silent.
Gongsun continued to ask: "Uncle is now in the military capital, we can't go back, where do you think it's appropriate to go?" ”
Gongsun Xu sighed and said: "Let's retreat to Yuyang County for the time being, I hope that Juyongguan will not have an accident, otherwise the heads of the two of us will not be guaranteed." ”
"This!" Gongsun Xu then remembered that there was a more important place in the military capital city, Juyong Pass, and he was a little happy in his heart, and he also prayed a little, hoping that the defenders of Juyong Pass would not be careless.
As soon as Juyong Pass was broken and Yuan Liu converged, the encirclement was punctured, and the plan to encircle and kill Yuan Shao's army failed.
Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Yue retreated towards Yuyang County with trepidation.
Instead of pursuing, he led the army to the military capital.
Ma Yan and Zhang did not have many soldiers and horses to attack the military capital, and they wanted to go over to consolidate the military capital.
None!
"Hahaha, Ziyuan, look, we succeeded, we succeeded, the military capital was taken in one fell swoop, and your plan really came true." Yuan Shao received the battle report and was as excited as a child.
Xu You was also a little surprised, got the battle report, and read it again and again.
That's a success, it's too easy.
Xu Ding and Xun You couldn't even see through it, and success came easily, which made Xu You a little muttered.
Yuan Shao asked: "What's wrong with Ziyuan, is there a mistake in this battle report, something went wrong." ”
"Lord, there is no mistake, it's just that Xu Xiang is known for his strategy, and it is not easy to take advantage of it in his hands, and now that the military capital is in hand, I have a feeling of unsteadiness." Xu You suddenly became a little unconfident.
This is like some people chasing beautiful women when they fall in love, they thought it would be difficult to catch up, but as soon as they spoke, the goddess agreed, and they hesitated a little in their hearts.
To put it bluntly, I really don't have much confidence when I meet a pervert like Xu Ding, and I feel like I'm in a trance after being suppressed for a long time.
Yuan Shao's eyebrows sank when he heard this, and he nodded slightly: "This is also the case, the military capital city was taken by us so easily, and it really has a sense of unreality." ”
"However, since we have taken it down and recruited a large army to settle in, even if Xu Ding has any tricks, it is useless, the city is real, it is also true that Gongsun Fan was killed, and it is also true that Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Yue were defeated and retreated to Yuyang County.
Our side is basically safe, and these can't fool people. At this time, Yuan Shao finally stimulated his characteristics of growing up in adversity, his thinking was calm, and his judgment was clear.
Xu You said: "So my lord, we should attack Juyong Pass next, if we can win Juyong Pass, then we can enter Shanggu County, connect with Liu Bei from Shanggu County, and break through Xu Ding's blockade." ”
This suggestion is a good idea, but Yuan Shao didn't agree immediately, and also considered it and asked: "I'm afraid Juyong Pass is not so easy to take, and it needs a large number of soldiers and horses, so it will be necessary to draw soldiers and horses from other places, with our current strength, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do." ”
The deployment of troops is simple, but the troops in each city are thin, and when the final battle of Xu Ding's thunder blow is next, I am afraid that there will be no way to stop it.
The whole line will collapse.
Xu You said: "Lord, draw back all the soldiers and horses in Quanzhou City, there is no point in guarding against the coastal line, Xu Dingbu can directly advance from the east and west, and he has always been a bait to distract us and dilute our troops." ”
Yuan Shaozhi agreed with Xu You's words, and it was for this reason that he put a lot of troops and energy on the coastal line at the beginning, and as a result, Xu Ding's feint attack was really aimed at hitting Jizhou.
However, he also had some concerns, and said with a worried face: "If we give up Quanzhou like this, I am afraid that Wang Song will not be happy, and this guy may have different ambitions." ”
Wang Song Youzhou seized the local powerful forces in the local area, and possessed the three cities of Yongnu, Quanzhou, and Anci.
When Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu controlled Youzhou, he was only superficially obedient, and the three places were still his back garden, and no one's orders would be followed.
If Yuan Shao released Quanzhou, it is difficult to say whether Wang Song would guard the two cities of Yongnu and Anci with Yuan Shao.
After all, the wind direction is extremely unfavorable to Yuan Shao now, whether this guy will take the opportunity to defect, Yuan Shao is not sure.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xu You's eyes, and he calmly persuaded: "Lord, now that our people have entered the Three Cities with the scriptures, and they have won over many of Wang Song's subordinates. ”
At the moment of the war, where can this kind of miscellaneous fish be allowed to disturb the situation.
"Hmmm! Then you go down and make arrangements, and if you are disobedient, then except. Yuan Shao was not a good person in the first place, so naturally he would not hesitate and entangle, and when he saw Xu You turn around and go out, he hurriedly said:
"By the way, Quanzhou City, don't let Xu Ding get what we can't get."
"It's the lord!" Xu You's body was stunned, and he quickly received his life.
Inside the city of Yongnu!
Recently, Wang Song's life has not been easy.
Gongsun Chan returned, Xu Ding won, and the Donglai army came from all directions.
Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and the northern part of Yuyang County have all become Xu Ding's territory, and then the Donglai army should fight the southern part of Yuyang, Guangyang County and Zhuo County.
Yuan Shao lost Jizhou, how long can he last in Youzhou, Wang Song is very panicked.
So he brought the strategist Liu Fang to ask for advice.
Liu Fangzi abandoned, Zhuojun people, is a descendant of Liu Rong, Marquis of Xixiang, the son of Liu Jian, the king of Guangyang of Han Dynasty (the son of Liu Dan, the king of Yanra), who served as a discipline official in the county and was promoted as filial piety.
The world was in turmoil, Yuyang Wang Song seized the territory, and Liu Fang went to attach himself to him.
Originally, Liu Fang was very opposed to Wang Song welcoming Yuan Shao into the Three Cities, but at that time, Gongsun Zhan's life and death were unknown, and everyone did not know who Youzhou belonged to, so he did not persuade him.
At this time, Wang Song asked about the plan, and he analyzed and judged: "In the past, Dong Zhuo acted perversely, heroes rose up at the same time, supported the army and stood on their own, and gave orders without authorization, only the Marquis of Weihai was enough to save the dangerous situation, attack Luoyang, and be invincible.
In the past, the Yuan family was very powerful, one possessed Yuzhou to occupy Nanyang, and there was the richest place in the world, with many generals, but repeatedly committed Xuzhou, was repeatedly defeated, and lost Peiguo, not to mention, the general Ji Ling also died in battle, and Yuan Shu was not a climate, but a dry bone in the well.
Yuan Shao has Ji You, but was played by Weihai Hou in the palm of his hand, the Donglai army swept Jizhou, seized Yuan Shao's roots, and aimed to sweep away the Hebei region, authority and punishment have been combined, and the general trend of the matter is also obvious.
Those who arrive faster will always be blessed, such as Gongsun Zhan, those who are backward and surrender will perish, the general is not as powerful as Gongsun Zhan, the soldiers are not as good as Gongsun Zhan, and there are no more cities than him, what else is there to consider.
In the past, Di Bu gave up his noble position as a king and returned to the Han Dynasty with his sword, which was indeed a move to understand the law of prosperity and decline and understand the fate of rebellion. General, you should devote yourself to the Marquis of Weihai, entrust your fate to him, and befriend him with generous gifts.
Offering the city to attract troops, you are a great hero, this is the last chance, and if you miss it, you may have a chance to be destroyed. ”
Xu Ding not only took the princess of Wannian, but also sent someone to assassinate Dong Zhuo successfully.
Gaze is the most suitable candidate for effectiveness, Liu Fang is not pedantic, so he naturally has to choose him.
Wang Song hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "This is really possible, Weihai Hou accepted us, I'm afraid that the land of the three cities will no longer belong to me, can I be reused?" ”
Liu Fang said: "General, the general trend of the world, when you follow the trend, you will die against the trend, although the three cities nominally belong to the general, but can the general really be the lord of the three cities?" ”
"This ......" pierced my heart and talked about Wang Song's sore spot.
Now Yuan Shao's men and horses are stationed in the three cities, and these uncles don't take him seriously at all, they will only let him supply grain and grass, and transfer the people to defend the city and repair the moats.
Otherwise, Wang Song would not have asked Liu Fang for advice.
Just as the two were talking, someone came to report.
"General, Yuan Gong sent someone to report that all the defenders of Quanzhou City should be transferred to Anci City, and I hope that the general can go over to assist in the evacuation in case of chaos."
Wang Song chuckled when he heard this, his face turned dark, and he waved his hand to let the messenger go down.
When the people left, Wang Songcai said: "Ziqi, it seems that we have no choice. ”
Before he fought, he gave up one city, and without three cities, he Wang Song was still a fart, what would he give to Xu Ding at that time.
"I don't have a choice, general, Weihaihou's arrow hasn't been shot yet, but Yuan Gong's knife has been raised, and he asked the general to go out of the city to appease Quanzhou." Liu Fang sneered again and again, at this time, Yuan Shao asked Wang Song to leave Yongnu, with sinister intentions.
Wang Song's eyes also flashed with a hint of essence, and his face showed indignation: "You mean that Yuan Shao has the intention to kill me, I am afraid that I will be killed when I leave Yongnu City, and then Yongnu City will be completely controlled by Yuan Shao's men." ”
"Not only that, but if the general doesn't leave the city, I'm afraid he will be killed immediately, and he won't even see the sun tomorrow." Liu Fang reminded with a word.
If Yuan Shao had murderous intentions towards Wang Song and intended to destroy him and swallow his subordinates, then he only needed a far-fetched reason.
The most appropriate reason for not listening to the order of the commission.
Since ancient times, military law is the most reasonable and the most unreasonable thing to talk about.
Wang Song was in a cold sweat when he heard this, this is a mortal situation, and Yuan Shao will want to kill him left and right.
The little hero who divided one side had a sense of powerlessness at this time, felt that death was coming, and couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly asked: "Ziqi, then what should I do, it's not the time to go to Weihai now, if you go out of the city, you will die, and if you don't go out of the city, you will also die, do you want to fight with Yuan Shaobing in the city?" ”
Wang Song's own family affairs know how much ability his soldiers have.
They can't beat Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao has the intention of killing him, so naturally he has to be more vigilant, where will he be given a chance.
Moreover, his subordinates have been closer to Yuan Shao recently, who knows which one was secretly co-opted by Yuan Shao.
If Liu Fang was not a scribe and didn't persuade him to surrender to Xu Ding first, he wouldn't dare to believe Liu Fang now.
Liu Fang thought for a while and said: "General, take advantage of the situation, since Yuan Shao transferred the general out of the city, then first follow his order, withdraw from Yongnu City cleanly, and completely give up Yongnu City, and must actively cooperate with Yuan Shao's people, and write to Yuan Shao, saying that he wants to go to Jixian County, hoping that Yuan Shao can cheer up and fight to the death with Weihai Hou, and appropriately belittle Weihai Hou and paralyze Yuan Shao as much as possible." ”
"Uh......" Wang Song pondered for a while and then asked, "What if Yuan Shaozhen transfers me to Jixian?" ”
"Then go, in short, let him relax his vigilance first, there is a chance to go, and Yuan Shao must not be aware that the general has half a disagreement with him, let alone half disobey his words and orders, and we are planning to leave the city." Liu Fang suggested.
The situation in front of him is indeed not very good, Wang Song's fate began to be in turmoil, and his Liu Fang's fate also began to be confusing, originally wanted to persuade Wang Song to surrender the three cities, but now Quanzhou and Yongnu are lost, and Wang Song's value is also small.
His credit is also small, how to get Xu Ding's appreciation, it can be said that Yuan Shao's sudden action made him a little worried, and he could only take one step at a time.
