Chapter 254: Yuan Highway Wins Two Counties and Sends Yuan Liu Ba to Strike the War
Yuan Shu won a complete victory and killed Zhu Fu, so there was nothing to worry about, so he slept quite comfortably!
At noon on the second day, Yuan Shu beat the drum to gather the generals, and Guo Tu, Ji Ling and other generals came to the Yuan Shu Zhongjun tent to discuss matters!
Seeing everyone coming, Yuan Shu spoke: "Yesterday, because it was very late, I didn't know much about the battle situation!" ”
Hearing this, Ji Ling took the lead in speaking: "Lord, yesterday the Lord won a complete victory in the first battle, beheaded the enemy chieftain, and killed more than 30,000 enemy soldiers, captured about 40,000, and less than 50,000 enemy soldiers scattered away!"
And among the 40,000 captives captured, there were more than 20,000 elite veterans of Zhu Fu! The rest are all young and strong in Cangwu County and Yulin County!
Moreover, the enemy's grain and grass are heavy, and the war horses are not counted! ”
Yuan Shu nodded when he heard this, and then ordered: "Let all the young people of Yulin County go, and the elite captive camera will be incorporated into the army!" ”
"My lord, no!" Guo Tu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it!
Yuan Shu asked with some confusion, "Why not?" ”
"Yes, Strategist, why not? At this time, Zhu Fu is dead, and if these young men have no weapons, they are harmless, and it is ominous to kill prisoners! Ji Ling also said suspiciously.
"Lord, at this time, Yulin County is still under the control of Liu Biao, and the lord and Liu Biao are feuds, if all the young men are sent back to Yulin County.
In this way, in a few years, these young men will be the elite under Liu Biao, and now the lord does not want to use the young men of Yulin County as soldiers, just because he is afraid that the young men of Yulin County will turn against Liu Biao when they fight.
However, in addition to being used as soldiers, these young men can also be used as labor, and the lord has newly obtained the two counties of Nanhai and Cangwu, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, which is the time to employ people! ”
When Yuan Shu heard this, he felt that there was some truth, so he ordered that all the young people in Yulin County be sent to the South China Sea for labor, and 20,000 strong people were selected from Zhu Fu's elite captives and the young people of Cangwu County to join the army, and the rest were all left in Cangwu County for labor!
"What about our casualties?" Yuan Shu continued to ask!
"My lord, this time my forward army suffered more than 15,000 casualties!" Li Feng replied!
"My lord, my cavalry suffered 3,000 casualties, and more than 1,000 horses were killed in battle!" Ji Ling said!
And the casualties of the main army led by Lei Pu and Chen Lan were only thousands! In this way, at the cost of about 25,000 casualties, Yuan Shu turned defeat into victory in the ambush!
This can be considered a classic battle!
Yuan Shu nodded again when he heard everyone's report, although the casualties were a bit large, but the result of this battle was completely worthy of these casualties.
Then Yuan Shu continued: "Now, I have defeated, killed Zhu Fu, and the entire Cangwu County has been taken by me, do you have any ideas about where to go next?" ”
Seeing Yuan Shu ask like this, the generals did not talk at all, and Guo Tu's eyes rolled with a purr, but after a while, he replied:
"Lord, now that Zhu Fu is dead, there is no leader in Bushan and other counties in Yulin County, the lord should march as quickly as possible, and attack Bushan County in front of Liu Biao, so when Liu Biao reacts, there is no other way to snatch it except to fight hard!"
Yuan Shu also nodded, then shook his head again, and then said: "There is no hurry in this matter, it is not too late to enter the army after the war!" ”
Guo Tu wanted to speak again, Yuan Shu waved his hand and said: "Mengling County is only four or five days away from Bushan County, but Linchen County, where Liu Biao's army is located, is half a month away from Bushan, so there is no need to worry!"
Moreover, this post-war matter will be resolved in three or four days, so it will be fine! ”
Guo Tu heard this, thought about it, and felt that it made sense, the most important thing is Guo Tu and even Yuan Shu's temperament, if he is persuaded at this time, his head will inevitably break the bloodstream, it is better to take a step back and obey Yuan Shu's meaning, so that he can always be favored by Yuan Shu!
After that, Yuan Shu rectified the army and horses, and at the same time sent Lei Pu and Chen Lan to lead 40,000 troops each, Lei Pu to the south, Chen Lan to the north to fly away to attack the counties of Cangwu County!
And four days later, Yuan Shu personally led an army of 50,000 again, and Ji Ling, Guo Tu and others would continue to the west, but with the idea of attacking Bushan and other counties!
……
But he said that Zhu Jun was in Xudu, and he felt a dream day and night: he dreamed that he was lying in the snow, and a group of tigers came to bite. Frightened and conscious, he doubted in his heart, so he found Uncle Dong Cheng and asked!
Dong Cheng thought about it for a while and said, "This dream is a bad omen. When you meet a tiger in the snow, the dream is evil. And the old general's family is all in Xudu, could it be that Zhu Fu in Jiaozhou is in trouble? ”
Before he finished speaking, a person staggered in, crying and worshipping on the ground and said: "The lord, the second son, the second son, he was killed by Yuan Shu!" ”
Zhu Jun regarded it as a guard at home, this guard has followed Zhu Fu since he was a child, and he is a person close to Zhu Fu, and then Zhu Jun asked what it was.
This person said: "The second prince and Yuan Shu fought for Cangwu County, but the troops were not strong enough to capture Yuan Shu, behead and kill him!" ”
When Zhu Jun heard this, he cried and fell to the ground, and everyone rescued him. Although Zhu Jun was rescued, he was still confused, muttering in his mouth: "First Hao'er, then Fu'er, what does God want to destroy my Zhu family?" ”
Zhu Jun is a general born in a cold family, his eldest son Zhu Hao has a talent to be a talented official to Yuzhang Taishou, the second son is Zhu Fu, and the third son is now only ten years old!
Zhu Jun suffered the pain of losing his son again, and he couldn't afford to be sick so far!
After that, Zhu Jun was no longer able to command the 5,000 forbidden army, and the Son of Heaven ordered the country to be in charge!
……
Yuan Shu led the army from Mengling County, passed through four days, and finally arrived in Bushan County, and then Yuan Shu ordered the scouts to send Zhu Fu's head into the city, wanting to intimidate the guards of Bushan County!
However, after the entire Bushan County was quiet for a tea time, the Zhuzi banner of Chengtou was slowly lowered!
Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he saw this, and secretly thought that this trip to Bushan County would effortlessly seize the land of the four counties around Bushan.
However, to Yuan Shu's surprise, when the Zhuzi banner was lowered, a banner with the word Liu embroidered with gold was slowly raised!
Then, Yuan Shu's tent ushered in Liu Biao's messenger!
It turned out that seven days ago, Li Bo, the last surviving general under Zhu Fu's command, fled back to Bushan County overnight through a shortcut trail after Zhu Fu suffered a heavy defeat!
Because Li Bo had the highest official position, he was seized of the military power of Bushan County when the Bushan guard did not know that Zhu Fu had died in battle!
Li Bo had seen Yuan Shu's military might, and knew that it was simply wishful thinking that with only 20,000 soldiers trying to defend Bushan County.
So Li Bo sent someone to Dingzhou Liu Biao overnight as an envoy, and Liu Biao heard that Zhu Fu was defeated, and someone wanted to sacrifice Bushan County, so he brought troops overnight!
Originally, if the troops were transferred from Linchen, it would take at least 20 days for the army to arrive in Bushan, but it was a coincidence that Jingzhou's reinforcements had just arrived in Dingzhou, and in addition to the 50,000 soldiers who had been appointed to the navy, there were still 50,000 troops in Dingzhou.
So Liu Biao personally led an army of 50,000 to Bushan day and night, and finally arrived in Bushan County an hour before Yuan Shu, so that Liu Biao's 70,000 troops were stationed in Bushan County!
Yuan Shu saw Liu Biao's military banner and naturally knew that Bushan was captured by Liu Biao, and secretly hated that he didn't obey Guo Tu's plan at the beginning, but there was no regret medicine in the world, so Yuan Shu still received Liu Biao's messenger!
And this messenger is none other than Kuailiang!
"Zirou came here for Liu Jingsheng's seizure of Bushan?" Yuan Shu asked!
"Naturally, it's just that my lord wants to reconcile with Ming Gong and stop fighting!" Kuai Liang said!
Yuan Shu smiled, and then said with some sarcasm: "Zhu Fu was defeated by me, why was the land of Zhu Fu Bushan obtained by Liu Jingsheng?" ”
"Just because Liu Bei and Jiaozhi County Tun more than 200,000 troops, and my lord blocked Liu Bei's hundreds of thousands of troops for Ming Gong, if Ming Gong must get Bushan and other counties, my lord is willing to withdraw from Jiaozhou, and then send troops when Liu Bei and Ming Gong are both defeated, I don't know what Ming Gong wants?" Kuai Liang said unashamedly!
Yuan Shu was shocked when he heard this, Liu Bei stationed more than 200,000 troops in Jiaozhi County, and tens of thousands of sailors, so nearly 300,000 troops. If you try your best to win or lose, you can't score!
However, even if he is left, it is a miserable victory, how can he resist Liu Biao or Sun Ce after that?
And now that he has to hand over the two counties of the state, although the goal is less than before the battle, but he does not have much loss, thinking of this, Yuan Shu finally nodded and agreed!
In the end, Kuai Liang and Guo Tu made a clear covenant on the number of troops in Bushan County and Mengling County!
At this point, the four eastern counties of Jiaozhou fell into calm again!
