Chapter 753

Gao Yi came to Wancheng this time, it is indeed not just a simple visit to relatives, in fact, before coming from Bingzhou, Gao Yi had already discussed with his subordinates Wenwu, to take advantage of Yuan Shao's being restrained by Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Sun Ce and others were busy crusading against Yuan Yao, and decided to mobilize troops from Bingzhou and Songshan, and combined Ma Teng and Han Sui's men and horses to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Previously, Zhang Lu was originally neutral towards Gao Yi, but after seeing Gao Yi's power gradually expanding, taking Songshan and the west of Yingchuan from the east of Nanyang County, slightly Runan and Jiangxia in the south, annexing the state and Sili in the north, and peeking into Shangyong and Hanzhong in the west, Zhang Lu gradually changed his neutral attitude, especially after Cao Cao Qin Wang welcomed Xu Du, which made Zhang Lu have the heart of naturalization, and an unexpected opportunity allowed Zhang Lu to get Gao Yi's trump card in Gao Yi's hand, so he recognized Gao Yi as a rebellious minister and thief, and prepared to start a war with Gao Yi.

Gao Yi naturally will not show weakness, and now that he is already Jing Zhaoyin and the general of Zhengxi, he is naturally more weighty than Zhang Lu, a small prince in the Han Dynasty.

On the one hand, he mobilized Qin Tuo, Pang De, Di Mo, and Xu Rong to each bring 10,000 men and horses from Bingzhou to Chang'an by water, and ordered Zhou Cang to take 20,000 Songshan men and horses to Chang'an by water, and also ordered Liao Hua to cut down trees in Shangyong to step up the production of boat rafts, falsely claiming that 100,000 horses were mobilized from Wancheng to take Han water from Shangyong to attack Zhang Lu, confusing Zhang Lu's judgment, and at the same time sent a letter to Ma Teng and Han Sui, with 50,000 loads of money and grain as a gift. invited the two to send troops to assist Zhang Lu, and then attacked Yizhou.

This is a dangerous move, Gao Yi has no certainty of victory, and there is no certainty that other princes will not take the opportunity to attack their own territory, but she knows that she must take this step, and it is indispensable to make trade-offs when leading troops to fight, and the importance of Hanzhong, anyone knows very well, now that Gao Yi has the opportunity to capture this place, he will naturally not let it go.

And Gao Yi did not make any preparations, in order to further contain Cao Cao's forces, Gao Yi wrote to Jia Xu as early as when he merged the state, suggesting that he induce Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao to attack Xuchang at the right time, so that Gao Yi's Hanzhong strategy could have no worries.

But the only thing that surprised Gao Yi was Huang Wudie's death, and he felt that he owed Huang Zhong a life.

And this long road, Gao Yi still has to continue to walk, I only hope that his great cause of unification can be faster, faster, so that there will be fewer deaths.

Suburbs of Shouchun.

The battle between Lu Bu and Yuan Yao was without suspense, and the Lu Bu army, who was waiting for work, destroyed Yuan Yao's thousands of tired soldiers almost effortlessly, and Yuan Yao, who was panicking like a lost dog, had nowhere to return, so he had to lead the remaining hundreds of his own soldiers to die in the direction of Chaohu, and Lu Bu did not order to chase, because now, he also had more important things to do.

"In Shouchun City, there are many grain and grass equipment, and they should be embraced first, and they must not be lost, and they can make up for the vacancy in Xuzhou!" Chen Gong's earnest words still resounded in Lu Bu's ears.

"Open to Shouchun!" After ordering his subordinates to hastily count the spoils of Yuan Yao's remnants of the army, Lu Bu led his 20,000 fresh troops to Shouchun.

At this moment, in Shouchun City, Zhang Liao did not disappoint Lu Bu, and had already sent troops to clear most of the remnants, and Sun Ce, who had been admiring Zhang Liao's name for a long time, and now they would attack Yuan Yao together and meet in Shouchun, they were very excited about each other, so their armies did not have any disputes with each other.

"General Wenyuan, this time I was able to break Shouchun City, thanks to the general's right-hand man in the east of the city, I thank you here!" At the celebration banquet, Sun Ce raised his glass and came to Zhang Liao to persuade him to drink.

Zhang Liao immediately raised his glass in panic: "General Sun is polite, no one knows the name of the little overlord, sweeping Jiangdong invincible, Wen Yuan admires it tightly!" This attack on General Shouchun is the main force, and the general is the first merit! "Zhang Liao has never been a person who can speak, but today he is the only one who is the biggest, even if he is reluctant, he has to come forward.

Gao Shun got up and looked behind Sun Ce in surprise: "Hey, why can't you see General Tai Shici and General Lu Meng, without their fresh reinforcements, we may have to suffer more!" ”

Sun Ce's expression was gloomy: "They are not worried about the safety of the princess, and they have already led the troops back to Qu'a during the day!" ”

The words of the people present are not sad.

"I can't speak, may the princess be fine!" Gao Shun was silent for a moment, suddenly picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all.

"Report, generals, Lord Liu Bei has arrived, and Lord Lu Bu and Lord Cao Hong have also arrived!" A herald ordered Pegasus to come, turn over and dismount to report for duty.

"Hehe, it's finally here, just wait for the three of them!" Sun Ce squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, "Let's go out to meet them!" ”

The torches Qi Ming, the huge Shouchun City shines like daylight, the three teams of people and horses come from the north, northeast and northwest three directions, the northeast is Lu Bu's team, the north is Liu Bei's team, and the northwest is Cao Hong's people.

Now Cao Cao is leading his troops to attack Zhang Xiu, and he has no time to come to Shouchun, only Cao Hong, who originally stayed in the Cao army camp, brought a few men and horses.

This is really a not very funny joke, it was originally Cao Cao who proposed that the other three princes attack Yuan Yao together, but now it has really brought down Yuan Yao's lair, but Cao Cao himself is not there, which is really tangled enough.

Liu Bei's face was not good-looking, originally he was not optimistic about this war, so he sent his most powerful Guan Yu Zhang Fei to follow Yang Fenghan Xian, and now there is no one else in his army except Sun Qian and Mi Fang.

Therefore, when the good news of Shouchun's breakthrough reached his hands, the people and horses of the entire military camp were fried, and they went to participate in the celebration banquet, and the city was not defeated by itself, did it make all the soldiers embarrassed? No, it doesn't seem to be in line with the identity of the friendly army, and finally Liu Bei made a decision in desperation, letting Mi Fang take the team back to Xiaopei, and he and Sun Qian only brought a few people to Shouchun.

Of course, when passing through the Huai River, Cao Jun and Liu Beijun regretted that the Huai River actually froze this incredible thing, and they could only blame themselves for being lazy and delaying the best fighter, otherwise they should be the ones who show off their might in Shouchun City now.

So Sun Ce, Zhang Liao and others who went out to welcome discovered a funny fact, although it was not wrong to welcome the three horses, but Cao Hong only brought 3,000 men and horses, Liu Bei only brought less than 2,000 men and horses, and Lu Bu was 20,000 horses, and now there are Zhang Liao's 2,000 light cavalry and Gao Shun's nearly 1,000 fallen camps stationed in the city, not to mention Sun Ce's tens of thousands of horses, even Lu Bu and Sun Ce's soldiers secretly ridiculed Cao Cao and Liu Bei's shabby.

"The lord has brought most of the men and horses to fight with the thief Zhang Xiu in Fancheng, and he can't get out, I hope the generals will forgive me!" Probably seeing the strangeness in the eyes of the generals, Cao Hong explained neither humbly nor arrogantly, although he was less than twenty years old, he spoke like a bell, and he did not lose his momentum in front of the heroes at all.

"Although the soldiers are outnumbered, a sincere heart is not lost to you!" Liu Bei said angrily.

"Hmph, Zhang Liao, hard work!" Lu Bu didn't look at Cao Hong and Liu Bei at all, turned over and got off the red rabbit horse, came to Zhang Liao, and shouted in a deep voice.

"General Xie!" Zhang Liao was flattered and knelt down to worship, his excitement overflowing.

"It's just right, Shouchun City is newly broken, many things need to be dealt with urgently, and a prestigious figure is urgently needed to come out to take charge, although he has won a few battles by luck, but it is not easy to convince the public, the princes have come, they can temporarily lead the city affairs, and manage the affairs of the people, so as to prevent future troubles!" After Sun Ce saw everyone, he stood up and said loudly.

Lu Bu said bluntly: "I heard Wen Yuan say that this time Shouchun City was broken, General Sun made great contributions, and the soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties, and it should be the best for General Sun to manage the affairs of the city!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals discussed a lot, and Sun Ce excused himself: "Some small work, why worry about it? Anmin is not better than fighting, and he is not good at reassuring the people, so the princes still choose another sage as the top! ”

Cao Hong's face was solemn and he didn't say a word, he knew that it was inappropriate for him to say anything now, seeing Sun Ce say this, he instantly remembered Xun Yu's incident of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf that time, so he took the opportunity to say: "If you want to talk about the sage, there is no one among us than Xuande Gong, he has won the support of the people several times in governing the state and county, if he presides over the city of Anmin, the monarchs will definitely have no objections!" ”

The generals were talking for a while, Liu Bei was about to agree, but the corner of his clothes was pulled, he turned around and saw that it was Sun Gan who shook his head at him, blocked his understanding, and insisted on refusing: "How can you dare to take this position?" This crusade against Yuan Yao was initiated by Cao Gong, and it is reasonable that General Cao Hong should take on this position! ”

"But Duke Cao is not here, if General Cao Hong takes on this responsibility, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public!" Lu Bu suddenly grabbed Liu Bei's arm and pulled him to the middle of the generals, "It's so decided, now it's An Min first!" ”

After that, Lu Bu said in a loud voice: "Everyone is witnessing, and we jointly elected Lord Liu Bei to temporarily take the post of Taishou of Jiujiang, pacify the displaced people, repair the city wall, and preside over military and political affairs." ”

The people of Shouchun heard that Liu Bei had temporarily taken the post of Jiujiang Taishou, and they all cheered and jumped very much, and spontaneously gathered to the square in the center of the city one by one.

And after seeing the people's voices, Liu Bei no longer had any doubts: "Thank you fathers for your love, and you will do your best to protect the safety of this county!" If you are selfish, the heavens will not forbid you."

"Gongyou, what should I do for today's plan?" Liu Bei asked Sun Qian in distress.

Sun Qian smiled: "Don't worry, for today's plan, you must send two letters, one to the imperial court, stating the reason here, and one to Cao Cao, affirming that the lord leads Jiujiang Taishou, it is a last resort, Cao Cao will send the future Shouchun to take over, that is the day when the lord gets out!" ”

"Wonderful, wait for me to repair a book, and immediately order the fast horse to be delivered to Cao Cao and the imperial court!"
