Chapter 183: Liu Bei captured Ningzhou in three battles, Li Guo and others defended Cao Cao
Liu Bei has two counties, and when he is officially in high spirits, he doesn't know that danger is coming!
In the previous battle, many of the defeated troops who fled in all directions did not return to the tribe, but ran towards other tribes in Ningzhou!
The scattered defeated army defected to other tribes, and Gu Yan Liu Bei led a large army to capture various tribes, burning, killing and looting.
Then the remaining tribes in Ningzhou united in a very short time and formed an army of about 200,000 people, wanting to kill Ningxi County!
When Liu Bei was rewarded by the scouts, the main army was less than 100 miles away from Ningxi County.
Worried about the rebellion of the newly formed captive army, Liu Bei left 10,000 old soldiers to guard the captives, and then led the remaining army of more than 80,000 to meet the enemy!
"Ladies and gentlemen, now other tribes in Ningzhou have gathered a large army to attack us, and our troops are insufficient, but it is a vicious battle!" Liu Bei summoned everyone and spoke!
"My lord, since my lord entered the Western Regions, there has been another time when we have defeated the other party with absolute strength! As long as we are careful this time, we will have a chance to win! Huang Zhong followed Liu Bei for a long time, so he took the lead in speaking!
"That's true, although the enemy army has 200,000, they are all a rabble that has not been fully trained, and all the armies under the command of the lord are veterans of a hundred battles, so what is there to fear!" Yan Yan said!
"My lord, in fact, there are 200,000 enemy troops, but we can win it in one battle? Lord, look at it, this is the map of Ningzhou that the scouts have sent back.
And we are now stationed at the foot of the mountain southwest of Qinghai Lake! The enemy was stationed on the other side of the southwest mountain range of Qinghai Lake.
In this way, the plain between the two mountain ranges is a natural battlefield for us to fight! And the way to win the battle is to strike back and forth!
The lord only needs to send an elite army of about 15,000 people around Qinghai Lake to the rear of the enemy, and then use the wolf smoke as a signal, and the enemy army will be defeated under the attack of both sides! Xun You suggested to Liu Bei!
And Liu Bei and the generals looked at the map of the entire Ningzhou, and then found that Xun You's strategy was definitely a clever plan, so they began to order!
Ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to command 13,000 tigers and leopards to detour from Qinghai Lake to the rear of the enemy army, and arrive within ten days, and then take the three-pillar wolf smoke as the call. Flank the Horde Alliance!
Guan Yu took the order and left.
Then Liu Bei ordered Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan and others to build a camp, and not to attack without permission until Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived at the back of the tribal coalition army!
A group of generals bowed down to promise!
As soon as Liu Bei's camp was built, the tribal alliance army sent a small general to lead an army of 20,000 to fight!
Zhao Yunde and Liu Bei ordered 3,000 female soldiers to go out of the village to meet the enemy.
Zhao Yun and the opponent's junior general killed the opponent's junior general in only two rounds, and then Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to lead the women's army to cover the opponent's 20,000 army for a while, and most of the enemy army broke and fled.
After that, the tribal alliance did not send a single soldier to meet the enemy for two days, and Liu Bei was happy!
Two days later, the tribal alliance sent another army to challenge Liu Bei's camp, but this time four generals came.
And Liu Bei led Yan Yan to lead the Leopard Tao army into battle! However, the four generals of the enemy army came out of the battle together to surround and kill, but Yan Yan was not afraid, and killed one person, one sword, and one horse.
In just one stick of incense, Yan Yan and the four generals fought for only sixty rounds, and then the four generals of the tribal alliance army were beheaded under the horse!
Then the soldiers of the tribal alliance all scattered as birds. Yan Yan laughed and picked four heads with four spears and circled around the tribal alliance camp, but no one made a sound.
So Yan Yan slapped back proudly!
Two days later, Liu Bei selected one of the previous captives and asked him to carry a letter of war to the camp of the tribal alliance!
But it is said that Liu Bei is willing to send a war general with an army of 5,000 to fight a head-on battle with his 10,000 army!
Soon, the other party's camp replied to Liu Bei, and agreed that the two sides would fight one day later!
A day later, Liu Bei sent Huang Zhong, Zhang Ren and Wen Pingshuai 5,000 elite Longxiang troops to line up on the battlefield, waiting for the enemy!
After a stick of incense, the tribal alliance sent 10,000 troops out of battle, and the two sides set up their positions and rode horses to raid!
However, the result was within Liu Bei's expectations, as soon as the five thousand tiger soldiers led by the three super generals entered the tribal alliance formation, they were like tigers descending from the mountain!
In only half a day, 6,000 enemy troops were killed, and the remaining 4,000 fled back, while the Long Xiang army also paid about 2,000 casualties!
At this point, the tribal alliance began to hesitate, head-to-head, Liu Bei's army can be one enemy and three, if it is defeated like this, the tribal alliance will be defeated!
However, when the tribal alliance hesitated, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arrived behind the tribal alliance two days in advance, and then lit up the three pillars of wolf smoke according to the plan!
The scouts in Liu Bei's camp saw Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei took up the 80,000 troops in the camp and headed towards the tribal alliance!
When the tribal coalition saw Liu Bei's tiger and wolf army killing their own side, they were all shocked, and hurriedly met the enemy, but their backs were killed by a large army.
The tribal coalition forces were attacked from both sides, and after struggling to resist for half a day, they broke up one after another.
However, Liu Bei led the army in this battle, but mainly collected prisoners, after the battle, it was calculated that 100,000 prisoners were taken and nearly 30,000 were killed, while Liu Bei's army was only more than 10,000 killed and wounded!
So far, Ningzhou won the battle, and after the war, Liu Bei ordered Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and Guan Yu to lead the army to take the land of Ningzhou in four ways!
And the road crossed by Huang Zhong and Guan Yu, all the tribes surrendered without a fight, even if there were tribes that did not have the intention to resist, they were directly crushed by the four of them with a large army!
A month and a half later, the Fourth Route Army sent people in return, Liu Bei said, "The entire Ningzhou was subdued!" The nobles of the various tribes have also been captured!
Then Liu Bei convened a military and political meeting. Seven new counties were built again, namely Ningnan County, Huangnan County, Yushu County, Guoluo County, Haixi County, Ningxi County and Ningliang County!
And from the four prefectures of Liang, Yong, Xi, and Shuang, capable officials were dispatched to serve in the nine counties of Ningzhou! Then he appointed Gu Yong as the first assassin of Ningzhou, in charge of all government affairs in Ningzhou!
Then he relocated 130,000 captives and their families to Xining County and Liangqing County in Liangzhou! The remaining nearly 700,000 people moved into nearby counties and settled for the people!
Due to the vast territory of Ningzhou, each person can get eight acres of grassland and seven acres of fertile land!
In the end, Liu Bei ordered Huang Zhong to lead the Long Xiang army and Yan Yan to lead the Leopard Tao army to garrison Ningzhou, and take Chen Gong as the military advisor! And Liu Bei led the Shence army, the tiger and leopard cavalry and 130,000 captives to return to Liangzhou!
The generals accompanying Liu Bei were: Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren, Ma Teng, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Wen Ping, Naduo and strategist Xun You!
At this time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's envoys had secretly infiltrated Luoyang and met Yang Biao, Zhu Jun and Emperor Han Xian, and said that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were willing to listen to the dispatch of the Son of Heaven to attack the barrier and rescue the Son of Heaven!
At the same time, the envoys sent by Zhong Xuan arrived at the tents of Li Yu and Guo Yan, with a number of gold, silver and jewelry online, and the Son of Heaven wanted to show his loyalty to the Nanhai County.
Li Yu Guo Yan got the money, and the South China Sea was too far away from the Central Plains, so he readily agreed, just waiting for the court to propose it to the Son of Heaven tomorrow!
And Cao Cao's cousin Sun Ce's recital for the history of Yuzhou has also arrived in the hands of Yang Biao and Zhu Jun, but Zhu Jun and Yang Biao have a headache for this matter!
It's not that I want to give it with a headache, but how to convince Li Yu Guo Yan with a headache! As for Sun Ce's call to the history of Yuzhou's assassination, both of them are willing, because they can bring in one more strong reinforcement for the Son of Heaven!
So the next day, after the next day's court meeting, after the mountain shouted long live, Li Yu couldn't wait to show his loyalty to the South China Sea!
But it was unanimously opposed by a group of royalists led by Yang Biao and Zhu Jun!
However, Yang Biao and Zhu Jun reported to Sun Ce for the history of Yuzhou's assassination, but they were opposed by Li Yu and Guo Yan.
Moreover, Li Yu and Guo Yan almost drew their swords and killed Yang Biao at the court meeting, but in the end, they gave up for the sake of Zhu Jun's face!
In the end, the two sides bargained in court and made a compromise. The Son of Heaven finally agreed to the recital of both sides!
Fate Xi Zhong is the Taishou of Nanhai County, Sun Ce is the assassin of Yuzhou, and Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, is ordered to return to Luoyang to report on his work!
After Li Yu and Guo Yan left the palace, they called Zhang Jifan together again, and the four of them discussed!
"At present, the entire Luoyang, including the Son of Heaven, is under the control of us, why did Zhu Jun and Yang Biao have to go to the table for Cao Cao, isn't it Cao Mengde who took refuge in the Son of Heaven?" Guo Yan said!
"If that's the case, we should be careful, Cao Cao is now leading 100,000 troops in Yanzhou! If he leads his troops to attack, it will be difficult for us to resist it! ”
Since then, the four of them have said that Cao Cao is listed as the primary defense target, and they continue to increase their muscles in front of the Son of Heaven, and the power in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, Tian Kai and others can be regarded as further containing Cao Cao!
