When Liu Bei led his troops north to Nanzhong, and Liu Biaoshi politically governed Yulin County and Hepu County, Yuan Shu and Zhu Fu were unable to hold back in the end.

In the end, it escalated into a big war in constant small frictions. Although Zhu Fu is not a famous handsome, he has the genes of the Zhu family, but he is not useless in the use of soldiers!

After a series of fighting generals and small frictions, Zhu Fu knew that his own ability to fight, the elite level of soldiers and the number of soldiers were inferior to Yuan Shu, so he extinguished the idea of head-on resistance!

Instead, he led the army to retreat more than 200 miles from Guangxin to Mengling County, and joined the 40,000 young men who had just been recruited in Mengling County, and then took advantage of the high mountains and rivers of Mengling County to occupy favorable terrain and prepare for a battle to the death with Yuan Shu!

However, Yuan Shu did not rush into the army after learning that Zhu Fu had withdrawn from Mengling County, but waited for another half a month, and only after the follow-up 50,000 reinforcements arrived in Guangxin City did he begin to slowly send troops to prepare for a battle with Zhu Fu!

At this time, Zhu Fu had already built a defensive place in Mengling County! After learning that Yuan Shu led an army of 150,000 out of Guangxin City and came to Mengling County.

Zhu Fu summoned the only three remaining generals under his command, and then pointed to the map and said: "This canyon is the place where Yuan Shu attacked Mengling from Guangxin.

The valley here is quite dangerous, and there are not many mountains and forests, but there are many springs on the mountain, as long as you prepare enough grain and grass, you can hold it for several months!

You and you each led an army of 40,000 to ambush on the mountains on both sides, prepared more round stones and rolling logs, and then led Yuan Shu's army through this valley, you and you cut off Yuan Shu's army.

And Zhang Mang and I led the army at the exit of the valley to attack the Yuan Shu army in the valley, so that Yuan Shu will be defeated under the attack on three sides, if you can kill Yuan Shu in a battle, not only Cangwu County, Nanhai County for me to gain, the whole Yangzhou is also in my hands! ”

When the three generals heard this, they took the orders and left!

Previously, Zhu Fu knew that his strength was not as good as Yuan Shu, so he recruited a large number of young men in the counties under his own rule in Jiaozhou.

And the most elite soldiers under Zhu Fu's command led by Zhu Fu himself are also the soldiers under Zhu Fu's command for nearly ten years. Therefore, relying on the good terrain and the tens of thousands of elites under his command, Zhu Fu also ignited confidence.

What's more, for Zhu Fu, even if the battle of ambushing Yuan Shu did not win a big victory, it would not be defeated. After that, as long as the soldiers are gathered, Zhu Fu still has the confidence to compete with Yuan Shu!

When Zhu Fu arranged the task of ambushing Yuan Shu, the army led by Yuan Shu was also moving forward slowly! Sitting on the horse, Yuan Shu said to Guo Tu:

"The public rule says that this Jiaozhou is a barren land, however, in the month of capturing Nanhai County and Cangwu County, I found that there is not much difference between this Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou, and the biggest difference is that the mountains are high and the forests are dense!"

Guo Tu smiled when he heard the words and said: "The lord doesn't know anything, but all this is still the credit of Xi Zhong, after Xi Zhong occupied Jiaozhou, he implemented sinicization and built official roads and post stations.

Therefore, in recent years, Jiaozhou has traffic with Yangzhou, Jingzhou and even northern states, so that Jiaozhou has gradually caught up with other states and counties in recent years!

But if you look closely, you will still see the difference!

The first is the carriage in Jiaozhou, although there are family valves in Jiaozhou, but there are few of them, so the carriage on the road is rare;

The second is Jiaozhou agriculture, because there are many mountains and forests, although Jiaozhou is now mainly farming, hunting is still one of the important sources of livelihood, and the cultivation methods are relatively backward!

The last is academic, and the implementation of sinicization must not be long in Xizhong, so the vast majority of people do not speak Chinese dialects, and it is inconvenient to communicate!

But if Xi Zhong is allowed to continue to rule for ten years, twenty years later, Jiaozhou will inevitably be no different from other places in the Han Dynasty! ”

"I see!" Yuan Shu nodded!

While the people were chatting, Ji Ling rode his horse and ran towards Yuan Shu: "Lord, ten miles ahead we will arrive at the Tengjiang Valley, which is a dangerous place, if Zhu Fu leads the army to ambush here, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses!" ”

"Oh, so soon to the Fujie Valley? It's really dangerous here, but it's the way to go, order to go down, and the whole army is on alert!

Send 20,000 troops as the vanguard, be the first to enter the canyon, and if there is no hindrance, then the army will slow in! ”

Ji Ling heard the words and took the order to leave!

……

In this way, Li Feng, a general under Yuan Shu, led 20,000 soldiers and cautiously entered the Tengjiang Valley.

Yuan Shu's march in this way was contrary to Zhu Fu's assumptions, but the level of generals under Zhu Fu's command was really limited, and he launched an offensive after only 15,000 troops entered the canyon.

The cobblestone blocked the retreat and aid of Yuan Shu's army, and then killed thousands with rolling wood, and then Zhu Fuqin led an army of 40,000 to rob and kill, and Yuan Shu's 15,000 army was wiped out.

Li Feng was able to escape because he was in the rear army! After that, Li Feng quickly whipped up his whip and reported the matter to Yuan Shu.

And although Yuan Shu was annoyed that he had lost 15,000 soldiers, he was also happy that the whole army did not suddenly retreat, otherwise it would not have been 15,000 soldiers who would have lost!

When Guo Tu heard this, he said with a cut face: "Lord, this Zhu Fu also knows some art of war, and there is really an ambush here, but now the road is blocked by boulders, and it will take a few days to clear the road, so it is better to set up camp here first!" ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he nodded helplessly! In fact, attacking Mengling County is not really the only way, Yuan Shu can go north from Guangxin City to Lipu, and then look at the rear of Mengling County!

It's just that it takes too long, and Yuan Shu still needs to worry about Zhu Fu attacking Guangxin City at all times!

Of course, you can also go south to Duanxi, and then take a boat to the north and take the waterway to Mengling County, but Yuan Shu has no sailors! In this way, this vine river valley is the only way for Yuan Shu!

……

At this time, although Zhu Fu won a victory, he did not have the slightest excitement, mainly because the two generals who led the ambush this time were too idiots, and only 15,000 Yuan Shu's army exposed their ambush!

With such a dangerous terrain, only 15,000 troops of Yuan Shu were eaten, so the gap between himself and Yuan Shu's strength was still very considerable!

Zhu Fu really didn't have the slightest happiness and excitement at all, but at this time, it was the time to employ people, so Zhu Fu couldn't blame the second general, so he made himself even more depressed!

In desperation, Zhu Fu had no choice but to adopt the second plan, so Zhu Fu and his three generals gathered together again.

"The previous battle of ambushing Yuan Shu relied on the concerted efforts of everyone to win a complete victory and annihilate Yuan Shu's 15,000 army.

However, at this time, Yuan Shu still had an army of 130,000 under his command, so the battle situation was still sinister, but after the Tengjiang Valley, it was the most turbulent place in the Xunjiang River!

The main reason for the turbulence is that the Xunjiang River flows down from the high mountains and has to go through a bend in the upper reaches of the Tengjiang Valley.

In this way, I want to cast a dam in the upper reaches of the Tengjiang Valley, intercept the water of the Xunjiang River for a few days, and then break the embankment and release water to flood the Tengjiang Valley, so that all the Yuan Shu armies in the Tengjiang Valley will be the turtles in the urn! ”

The three generals under Zhu Fu were overjoyed when they heard this, and then they led their troops to prepare, intercept the river, and prepare to flood Yuan Shu!

And Yuan Shu was cleaning up the boulders in the valley at this time!
