Chapter 523: The Battle in Nanyang

Li Feng's 50,000 troops were wiped out under the joint efforts of Cao and Liu, and after Cao and Liu's armies rested for a few days, they attacked the Huainan border together, and the troops approached the Huainan border.

Yuan Shu heard the scouts sent out to report that Li Feng's army was almost wiped out, and none of them were able to escape back to Huainan. Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost fell off his golden dragon chair. Yuan Shu was shocked, and then a scout came to report that when Cao Cao and Liu Bei led the army to the border of Huainan, Yuan Shu only felt that his head exploded and roared with all his might!

Liu Bei!!! He!!! ”

"Your Majesty, it must be this Liu Xuande who secretly colluded with Cao Cao, so the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the two generals Li and Le will be destroyed by him so easily!"

Yan Xiang took a step forward and shouted hurriedly.

"Big-eared thief, it's so vicious!! I!! I!! I!!! Come, notify all the troops and horses, assemble the whole army, I want to drive the army in person, and the traitor of the big-eared thief with the blade in his hand!! ”

Yuan Shu was so angry that he was trembling.

"Your Majesty, don't do it! At this time, Cao and Liu were newly defeated by our army, and their morale was like a rainbow, and their two armies had as many as 70,000 or 80,000 troops. Please also ask Your Majesty to be patient for the time being, wait for General Sun's army to arrive, unite the general trend of the two armies, and then go on a campaign against the thieves! ”

Yan Xiang admonished again, Yuan Shu suppressed his anger, looked at Sun Ce with a faint gaze, and shouted with a questioning attitude.

"Bo Fu! Why is your father delayed? Don't he know, at this time the country is in danger!? ”

"Your Majesty is angry. Of course, my father knew His Majesty's urgency, and yesterday he sent someone to the palace to inform him that it would only take three days for the army to arrive! ”

Sun Ce bowed his hand and was very respectful. In fact, he was laughing coldly in his heart.

"Yuan Highway is that you are in a hurry to find death. When my father arrives, your emperor's life should be over! ”

Hearing that Sun Jian would arrive in three days, Yuan Shu's gloomy face improved a lot, and then he felt that his tone was more violent just now, at this time, the Sun family was in power, Sun Ce was not only his son-in-law, but also had a very high reputation in his army, and his father Sun Jian controlled nearly 80,000 heavy soldiers, Yuan Shu did not dare to be too strict with him.

"Hahaha. The Sun family is all loyal martyrs. I have the Sun family to protect me, so why not be afraid of Cao and Liu. Bo Fu, after this incident, you and your father, I will be rewarded heavily! I also hope that the Sun family will fight hard for me, and don't let down my trust! ”

"The end will never give up from !! death"

Sun Ce knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly, as if he was a loyal martyr. However, in Sun Ce's heart, he laughed wildly. Sun Ce was even looking forward to what kind of crazy expression Yuan Shu would show when his father Sun Jian opened the gate of Shouchun City a few days later, put Cao and Liu Dajun in, and then attacked Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses with his troops.

At the same time, the fighting in Nanyang and Runan was also raging.

Nanyang County, Xiahoudun's 20,000 army was like a bamboo, and attacked Nanyang City, Lei Bo and Chen Lan saw that Xiahoudun's army was fierce, so they gathered all the Nanyang soldiers in Nanyang City, wanting to take advantage of the solidity of Nanyang City to sharpen the edge of Xiahoudun's army. In addition, the floods and droughts in the south have been running out for many years, and everyone is short of food, so Lei Bo and Chen Lan all want to retire when Xiahou and his soldiers run out of food.

It is said that because Cao Cao mobilized an army of 100,000 troops, he consumed a huge amount of food, and the counties were in drought, so he could not help them. Xiahoudun urged the army to fight quickly, but Lei Bo and Chen Lan ordered the sergeants to hold on and stay closed. Xiahoudun saw that the food was decreasing day by day, and Nanyang City could not be attacked for a long time, so he summoned Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures.

In Xiahoudun's tent, Xiahoudun's face was calm, while Jia Xu was quietly thinking, and after a while of muttering, Jia Xu slowly opened his mouth.

"Although our army's food is running out, it can still last for half a month. It turned out that Lei Bo and Chen Lan wanted to fight with us to consume food. Then we might as well cut off the water source of Nanyang City. A man may go three days without food, but not a day without water. The water storage in Nanyang City can be used for up to five days, as long as the water source is cut off, after five days, there will be changes in Nanyang City. At the same time, General Xiahou can send several teams of soldiers and horses disguised as soldiers and horses to deliver food, Lei Bo and Chen Lan saw that our army had food supplies, they must be anxious, and when Nanyang was in turmoil, even if they were unwilling to attack, the soldiers under their command would force each other. Then we will set up a net of heaven and earth, and wait for them to bring about their own destruction. ”

"Ah, but if this water source is cut off, then hundreds of thousands of people in Nanyang City will be fine!"

As soon as Jia Xu's voice fell, Li Dian couldn't help but exclaim. Xiahoudun also frowned, he was not a benevolent person, if this was the case, he would not follow Cao Cao and live a murderous life of licking blood from the knife edge.

"This plan is good, but it is not harmful to others. The lord has just become the minister of the Han Dynasty, it is the time when he is criticized, if this matter is leaked, I am afraid that the reputation of the lord will be greatly damaged, and then some people with a heart will make a big fuss. ”

"In today's troubled times, if you only keep your reputation, it is difficult to achieve great things. If the lord is here, with his heroic nature, he must be decisive and follow the plan. After all, as long as Lei Bo and Chen Lan's soldiers and horses are wiped out, the people in Nanyang City will naturally be able to regain water sources. The largest number of people who die due to lack of water is about 10,000 people. But if our army storms Nanyang, most of the soldiers will have to be sacrificed. Of course, General Xiahou is the master of the army, if General Xiahou does not use Jia's plan. Jia didn't dare to say much. ”

Jia Xu's face was indifferent, and he talked about the life and death of nearly 10,000 people, but he didn't change his color at all, and he was really a ruthless person called a 'poisoner' by the world.

Xiahoudun listened carefully, and after a while, he slapped the case with one hand and bowed his head heavily.

"The military advisor's plan is very good, how can it not be used! General Li, you immediately give me an order and lead three teams of men to block all the three water sources in Nanyang. From today onwards, I want no half drop of water to flow into Nanyang City! ”

"Oh, the last general will take the order!"

Li Dian had a little unbearable in his eyes, but how could he dare to disobey the military order. After Li Dian received the order, he withdrew from the camp and ordered the three teams of soldiers and horses to rush to the water source outside Nanyang City.

Inside the tent, Jia Xu and Xiahoudun fell into an eerie silence. Xiahoudun glanced at Jia Xu silently, this person was full of cold, and his plans were vicious. Xiahoudun couldn't help but secretly rejoice that such characters were under Cao Cao's command, otherwise they would be enemies, and if they were a little careless, they would have to take off a few layers of skin if they didn't die.

According to Jia Xu's plan, Xiahou dun cut off the source of Nanyang Shui, and at the same time sent Li Dian to lead several teams of soldiers and horses to be packed into a grain delivery convoy.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan led the army to guard Nanyang City, and seeing that Xiahou was unable to attack it for a long time, they thought that they would soon run out of food and soldiers, and had to withdraw from Nanyang. When the two of them were secretly rejoicing, suddenly a soldier came to report that the source of Nanyang Shui had been intercepted, and the people in the city were robbing the wellhead to store water in the city.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan were shocked when they heard this. Chen Lan said to Lei Bo in a hurry.

"General Lei, the cut off of this water source is more disturbing than the food shortage! At present, there is Cao Jun guarding outside the city, and we can't go out of the city to bring water. It can only be sustained by the storage of water in the city. If these people are allowed to rob, I am afraid that within five days, there will be no more than half a drop of water in Nanyang City. How that should be! ”

"General Chen: Calm down! If you are in a mess, are you not playing into the hands of the enemy? Our soldiers defend the country and naturally give priority to the use of water stored in the city. Someone, pass on my order, immediately send 3,000 armor soldiers to suppress the rebellious people, and guard all the wells in the city, no one is allowed to get half a step close to any wellhead without my order! Violators, behead! ”

Lei Bo's eyes are gloomy, and he wants to monopolize the water source in the city with violence.

"Whoa!"

After the herald soldiers knelt down to receive the order, they hurriedly retreated and notified the generals of the various departments. Soon after, 3,000 armor soldiers flocked to the streets of Nanyang City, using cold and sharp weapons to drive away the people who rushed to the wells to draw water, and then divided into various teams to guard all the wells in Nanyang.

The people of Nanyang looked at the rows of guns, and they dared not speak in anger, so they had to retreat one after another. However, this is only the first day of the water in Nanyang, and as time accumulates, the people in the city will run out of water in their homes, and then these people will become crazy and fearless.

Time passed like a white horse, five days later, in Nanyang City.

Angry shouts, roars, and cries erupted everywhere. Most of the people in Nanyang are pale and have a mouth

Dry, their eyes filled with madness, and they continued to crowd towards the wells in the city. A group of Nanyang soldiers blocked it with weapons, but these Nanyang people had been out of water for five days, and at this time they only felt thirsty, and water was the only thing they wanted most urgently at the moment. The people of Nanyang ignored the guns and rushed frantically, rushing away the teams of Nanyang soldiers. In order to resist the crazy approach of the people, a Nanyang soldier became angry for a while, and actually stabbed an old man to death by mistake. Blood dripped from the guns, and the people of Nanyang, watching the old man scream and fall, were frightened at first, and then two men rushed out, or these two men were the relatives of the old man, and the two men shouted as hard as they could, and actually attacked the Nanyang soldier who killed the old man. In order to save his life, Nanyang Bing drew blood Linlin's gun and stabbed at the two men. The blood flew again, and the two men fell in a pool of blood. The death of these two men seems to have ignited the deep grievances of the people of Nanyang. More and more people moved towards the Nanyang soldiers, and they swooped down on the ranks of the Nanyang soldiers one after another. Although these soldiers had armor and weapons, they only had a few 3,000 people, how could they be the opponents of hundreds of thousands of people, and they were suddenly beaten and fled in all directions. After a team of Nanyang soldiers fled, there was no one to guard the wellhead, and suddenly the people of Nanyang rushed to the wellhead frantically to grab the water source.

Some soldiers came to report that the people in the city were in chaos and were frantically grabbing the wellhead to store water. Lei Bo was furious when he heard this, and hurriedly gathered all the soldiers in the city to rush to suppress it.

Groups of soldiers with guns in their hands set up a large formation, aiming at the unarmed people on the streets of Nanyang, viciously killing. Lei Bo kills at the forefront, kills people when he sees them, and is extremely ruthless. More and more Nanyang people died under the guns of Nanyang soldiers, and the streets were stained red with blood.

Nanyang City seemed to have become a hell on earth, and the heart-rending screams were endless. And those so-called Nanyang soldiers who defended their homes and the country became ruthless and cruel executioners, brutalizing the people in the city. Within a day, Nanyang City was almost covered in blood, and countless people were killed and wounded. Under the frenzied killing of Nanyang soldiers, the threat of death seemed to hang over the heads of every Nanyang people.

The Bao Rebellion was temporarily suppressed, Lei Bo watched those people flee in panic with fear, and let out bursts of cold and cruel rampant laughter, Lei Bo's laughter filled Nanyang City, not only made the people of Nanyang terrified, but even the soldiers under his command felt numb in their hearts.

Throughout history, the army that slaughtered the people never ended well. Many Nanyang generals, looking at the people who fell in a pool of blood, suddenly felt sad in their hearts.

Lei Bo suppressed the Bao rebellion and returned to the county palace in the city with Chen Ji. Chen Lan's face was gloomy, and she whispered beside her.

"General Lei, this is not the way to go. Although the Bao rebellion will be suppressed today, as the water in the city becomes less and less, these people will become more and more crazy. We can't always use force to suppress it! And today I see that many soldiers can't bear to kill the people in this city, and if this continues, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny! ”

Lei Bo was walking, and after hearing Chen Lan's words, he stopped abruptly. Lei Bo turned around slowly and shouted coldly.

"Who dares to mutiny! Lao Tzu immediately crushed him to ashes! ”

Chen Lan frowned, secretly saying that Lei Bo was so tyrannical, he would be punished sooner or later. Lei Bo squinted, as if he had noticed Chen Lan's thoughts, and stared at Chen Lan again.
