Chapter 39: The Siege of Yuan Shu
Yuan Shu learned that Cao's army was coming, and asked from the court: "Cao Cao will meet the three armies of Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and will attack here, who dares to fight!" β
A mighty and majestic man walked from it, "The last general is willing to fight!" β
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he saw it, "Qiao Rui, you lead 50,000 troops, be a pioneer and go out to fight!" β
Everyone in the court said that if General Qiao Rui went to war, he would be able to retreat from the enemy.
Qiao Rui led 50,000 troops and Cao's army at the mouth of the Shouchun boundary, and Xiahoudun fought for the vanguard leader.
Xiahoudun asked, "Who is coming?" β
"I am the general Qiaorui, you will come and die!" After that, Qiao Rui rode his horse and rushed forward, Xiahou Deng stepped forward to meet him, Qiao Rui stabbed with a shot, Xiahou Rui raised his gun to block it head-on, Qiao Rui was in the reverse shot, Xiahou Xuan turned sideways and hidden, his eyes showed murderous intent, "Die!" "Take advantage of his unpreparedness, and stab him in the chest!
Stabbed to death and dismounted, "Rush!" "Xiahou fought for less than three rounds, killed the enemy general, and the generals rose up and rushed to kill the enemy.
Cao Cao Shi looked at it from a distance, and Cao Cao said with relief: "Yuan Rang has reached the top of the generals, what does the general think?" β
Shi Yue was shocked, he thought it was a big battle, who ended it in an instant, how to say that the other party was also one of Yuan Shu's generals, no wonder he had no impression of this person. Looking at the combat power of the enemy generals, it seems to be at the same level as himself, if so, it makes sense, I knew that I was on the ......
"General Yuan Rang is afraid that he will reach the peak of the world's military generals, although there are enemies, there are no victories!" Shi Yue said with a clear conscience, does your conscience hurt? No! It doesn't hurt at all!
Xiahoudun led the army to defeat Yuan Shu's army, and the enemy army rushed back to the city.
Yuan Shu learned that Qiaorui was defeated and was attacked on all sides, Cao Cao attacked the north, Liu Bei attacked the south, LΓΌ Bu attacked the east, and Sun Ce sent a ship to attack the west of the river. Now he is besieged by all the armies, and he is terrified.
Someone offered advice to him, Yuan Shu listened to it, and deeply agreed, so he left Li Feng and other four generals and 100,000 soldiers to guard Shouchun, and went away by himself.
Shi Yue saw the development at this time is still expected, at this time Yuan Shu should have run away, I wait for the food is not enough, then there will be a grudge, Cao Cao designed to kill the general to stabilize the army's heart, and finally broke the city with all his strength, and went home with insufficient food. I don't believe how such a simple independent event can change. I didn't say a word this time, I just followed the fight, anyway, it's the same with me or not.
After Yuan Shu passed Huai, the four generals defended the city without fighting. Cao Cao fought many times, but the enemy army was closed.
Cao Cao summoned everyone to discuss, "Now Li Feng sticks to the city, does not fight with us, our army is 170,000, the army is huge, the food consumption is huge, and in the case of drought, the counties and counties cannot receive help." I am afraid that in another half a month, we will not be able to attack again, and we will withdraw our troops and return. Between the tones, he was quite helpless.
Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
Xun Yu said: "In Shouchun City, there are at least more than 100,000 soldiers, defending the city on all sides, with plenty of food and soldiers, and it is enough to hold on for half a year." β
Cao Cao looked at Shi Yue, "General Pan Feng has a miracle strategy every time he is in danger, what is his opinion this time?" β
There's a ghost! Crowd tactics, stepping on corpses. "Since ancient times, it is easy to defend the city, but it is difficult to attack the city, and our disadvantages are obvious, and the enemy has the advantage of holding on, and I have nothing to do." Shi Yue said.
All the generals scattered, and they did not stop attacking it every day, but they could not break it, and another ten days passed.
Suddenly, a report came that Yuan Shaojun would attack Xu Du and leave.
This newspaper reached Cao Cao's ears, it was a major event, and he immediately summoned the generals, "Yuan Shao wants to attack my Xu Du and go, why?" At this moment, he can't attack Shouchun, if he doesn't return early, he will lose! But if you go now, everything will be in vain to attack Shouchun. β
How so? Shi Yue doesn't understand, it's such an independent event, why did you Yuan Shao come out, what's the matter with you?
Xun Yu said: "I heard that the two Yuan brothers fell out, because of the improper distribution of Jizhou, Yuan Shu had a war with Yuan Shao, and was defeated by Yuan Shao, and today Yuan Shao is suspected of saving Yuan Shu." β
Guo Jia said: "Although Yuan Shu has an enmity with him, but they are all enemies of our Cao army, if he is defeated, we will be stronger, and there must be one less person who can contain us, this is the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao." But ......" Guo Jia looked slightly puzzled, and there was something he couldn't figure out.
Shi Yue knew what he was thinking, Yuan Shao had a grudge, even if he could save his brother Yuan Shu, he would not save it, what if there was one less containment, he wouldn't care, for him, the world was an enemy, and sooner or later he would have to do it. Shi Yue naturally didn't understand, who Yuan Shao listened to, and actually chose to do this, was it voluntary? His character shouldn't be.
Cao Cao was also surprised, "Yuan Benchu's trip was beyond my expectations. We still withdraw our troops and go back to defend Xudu. β
Guo Jiayan: "I have a plan, I can break the city, I can save Xu Du, the lord is willing to listen to it, this plan is too bad." β
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Please say that if you can win, what does it matter if you lose your plan." β
"I don't have much food to wait, there is no need to fight for a long time, when I stay, when the food is insufficient, it is the day when the army is declining and the army's heart is weakened, rather than waiting for that day, it is better to attack the city tomorrow with death, those who can't attack the city within three days will be killed, and those who are afraid of escaping the city will be killed, the main public will lead by example, go to the front line in person, and the three-day battle will be able to be captured, but the number of dead soldiers during the period is unpredictable, at this time Yuan Shu should not be in the city, he has already fled, even if he captures the city, it is not a victory, so I don't want to mention it before."
"The lord is giving me 30,000 soldiers and horses to intercept Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao's army must not be many this time, just for us to withdraw the army and return, we can only intercept him, the lord is capturing Shouchun, they know that they will not stay, so they withdraw and leave." Guo Jia said.
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay, the soldiers are not for war, what is the use of living, the war is invincible, why do you want to fight, just listen to Feng Xiaoyan, Feng Xiao, you and Xiahou Dan led 30,000 troops to stop Yuan Shaojun, can you." β
Guo Jia also said: "This time I still need to be accompanied by General Pan Feng. β
Yes! What do you want me to do? Shi Yue's eyes widened at him.
Cao Cao said: "According to Feng Xiaoyan, General Pan Feng, if you go with Yuan Rang, you will definitely be able to retreat from his army." β
Shi Yue didn't say anything, and his face didn't change much, he was bitter in his heart, you don't need so many generals to attack the city, it's useless, you rely on soldiers, give me one more. I shouldn't have blown Xiahoudun in the first place, you let him lead the army, his win rate is very low, boss! You really think he's unparalleled in the world. I was wrong. And you, Guo Jia, why are you calling me, I'll add him with you, do you want to die quickly?
The next day, Cao Cao gave orders in the army, and within three days, it was necessary to capture it, and the soldiers who could not be attacked should be beheaded. Personally lead the army to attack the city. When the soldiers heard this, the army was greatly boosted.
Xiahoudun led the army to take Guo Jia and Shi Yue to leave Shouchun together, taking advantage of Yuan Shaojun's failure to arrive in Xudu, intercepting it, as long as Cao's army can win, the news reaches them and their ears, they have not arrived in Xudu, they were stopped halfway, naturally they do not want to fight, they must retreat.
The two armies acted separately.
