Chapter 251: Chen's Message
In the Nanyang Taishou Mansion, when Yuan Yao walked in, he found that Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Chen Zhong were all there, and they seemed to be discussing something with Yuan Shu, but Yuan Yao saw that Yuan Shu and the others did not stop him, so he walked in and saluted Yuan Shu, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, and Chen Zhong.
"Yuan Yao has seen his father and three gentlemen."
Yuan Shu looked at Yuan Yao and bowed his head slightly, while Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, and Chen Zhong also showed a kind smile to Yuan Yao. Not to mention that Yuan Yao is Yuan Shu's only son, just looking at the ability and wisdom that Yuan Yao has shown at this age is enough to make Yan Xiang and the others look at Yuan Yao differently.
The current Yuan Shu forces, whether it is Yuan Shu himself or the civil and military forces under Yuan Shu's command, all regard Yuan Yao as the heir of Yuan Shu's forces. Because Yuan Yao's performance is very good, he knows how to be polite, educated, and capable, and he can break 10,000 Zhang Chaojun with 3,000 people, although most of the credit is made by the generals under Yuan Yao, but Yuan Yao, as the commander, the most important credit is still on his head.
If it is a troubled time today, Yuan Shu also knows that only the heirs who can fight on the battlefield are the most suitable. And Yuan Yao meets this condition.
After Yuan Shu saw Yuan Yao walk in, he asked with a smile, "What's the matter, those two generals have been done?" ”
Yuan Yao nodded and said, "Exactly, Huo Du and Huo Jun are already willing to surrender, and the child asks his father to send the two brothers to the child." ”
Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "I agreed to this matter, Huo Du and Huo Jun are your captives, how you deal with it is your business, but you can be sure to stop these two." ”
After Yuan Yao heard Yuan Shu's words, he smiled and said, "Please rest assured father about this, if the child is not completely sure, how can he find these two brothers." ”
Yuan Shu nodded, and then said: "That's good, by the way, there is some news from Chen Liu, you can take a look." ”
"Chen Liu?" Yuan Yao was taken aback and asked, "But the news from Chen arrived." ”
"That's right." Yuan Shu nodded, and then praised: "This Chen Zhi is really good, this time it can be regarded as a great achievement." ”
"Great work?" Yuan Yao looked puzzled, and then took a piece of cloth from Yan Xiang's hand and looked at it, this cloth was the battle report sent by Chen Zhi to Pingyu, and Xun Yue and the others who stayed in Pingyu sent the original to Nanyang and Yuan Shu after reading Chen Zhi's battle report.
After reading the battle report, Yuan Yao only felt a little hard to believe. He knew that Chen Zhi was very fierce, but he didn't expect Chen Zhi to be so fierce.
According to the battle report sent by Chen Zhi, after Yuan Shu led the departure of Chen Liucheng, Chen Zhi stayed in Chen Liucheng, and had a short period of peace with Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin's tripartite coalition army, but then Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin's tripartite alliance could not sit still, and learned that only Chen Zhi was left in Chen Liucheng, and under Zhang Miao's suggestion, Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and Bao Xin's tripartite alliance launched a fierce attack on Chen Liucheng. After Chen Zhi held on for half a month, it was difficult to hold on, so he found an opportunity to lead his troops to withdraw from Chen Liucheng, and Zhang Miao and Bao Xin found that Chen Zhi had retreated, regardless of Cao Cao's dissuasion, led their troops and horses to pursue Chen Zhi, and was finally ambushed by Chen Zhi halfway.
In this ambush battle, Chen Zhi prepared in advance, and chose the battlefield of the ambush in a valley, and then under the pursuit of Zhang Miao and Bao Xin, Chen Zhi collapsed the mountain walls on both sides with a secret method, so that countless boulders rolled down, and at the same time, Chen Zhi also laid a large amount of fire oil in the valley, and when the valley became a Jedi because of the collapse of the mountain walls on both sides, Chen Zhi ordered a rocket to sweep, turning the valley into a sea of fire.
When Cao Cao led his troops to help, there was only a charred corpse left in the valley, and Zhang Miao and Bao Xin came to pursue Chen Zhi's thousands of soldiers and horses, and in the end, only Dian Wei, Dian Jie, and Yu Ban survived with their strong strength, and some soldiers were lucky and did not die in the sea of fire.
When Cao Cao saw the charred corpses of Zhang Miao and Bao Xin in the valley, he attached great importance to Chen Zhi for the first time. Before this, Cao Cao thought that Chen Zhi was just a good general under Yuan Shu, and his strength and command were good, but they were just good. However, this ambush battle on the way to Chen Zhi's retreat gave Cao Cao a new understanding of Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi's ambush not only buried the princes of Zhang Miao and Bao Xin, but also blocked Cao Cao's way to continue to pursue Chen Zhi, so that Chen Zhi could retreat to Yongqiu City safely, and build a defensive line to defend against Cao Cao with Yongqiu City as the core. Although Chen Zhi's remaining forces were unable to attack north again, the defense was still possible.
Although Cao Cao captured Chen Liucheng, because Zhang Miao and Bao Xin were both ambushed by Chen Zhi's ambush, Cao Cao didn't know what to do next, because Zhang Miao and Bao Xin died, and the original three-way coalition army was left with Cao Cao alone. After that, Cao Cao was ruthless, so he incorporated the remnants of Zhang Miao and Bao Xin, including Dian Wei, Dian Jie and Yu Ban. made Cao Cao's strength skyrocket again, but even so, Cao Cao still did not go south to attack Yongqiu City.
After Cao Cao incorporated the remnants of Zhang Miao and Bao Xin's soldiers and horses, under the advice of his advisor Xun Yu, he wrote to the Chang'an Imperial Court, taking the position of general of Zhendong and governing Dongjun and Chenliu County. But when Cao Cao finally stabilized Chen Liujun and prepared to go south to expel Chen Dao, another major event broke out in Yanzhou, which attracted Cao Cao's attention and made Cao Cao have no time to take care of Chen Dao.
After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turbans of Montenegro gathered in Zhaojun, Changshan, Zhongshan, Shangdang, and some were also active in Dongjun.
After Cao Cao went south to Chenliu, the Black Mountain Yellow Turban came out of the mountains and forests and attacked Yanzhou, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai led the troops to counterattack, but died at the hands of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, and then the Black Mountain Yellow Turban spread the war to the entire East County, and even Jiyin County. After Cao Cao got the news that the Black Mountain Yellow Turban was dispatched, and even Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, had died at the hands of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, he hurriedly withdrew the troops that were originally going to attack Yongqiu, leaving some people to stay in Chenliu, and he led most of the soldiers and horses back to Dongjun to deal with the Black Mountain Yellow Turban.
So the current situation in Chenliu County is basically stabilized, from the beginning of the year to the present, Chenliu's war has been permeating for more than half a year, and now Cao Cao and Yuan Shu each occupy half of Chenliu County, as for the original Chen Liutai guarding Zhang Miao, it is dead, and no one will care about the dead.
