Chapter Seventy-Four: Jixian Holds Each Other

Liu Ze secretly thought, you have Chen Lin, and I have Wang Can, so he found Wang Cang and drafted the text, which is roughly as follows:

Yuan Shao was the original one, the descendant of the fourth and third dukes, and received the grace of the country. Gao Zu'an, for the Han Situ; An's son Chang is Han Sikong; Ansun Yuan Tang, for Han Sikong, Situ, Taiwei; Shao's father, Yuan Feng, is Han Sikong; Uncle Yuan Kui is the captain of the Han Dynasty. Shao Benshu came out and succeeded Yuan Cheng.

When Yuan Shao was young, he was stubborn, played Luoyang, was obsessed with Qinglou, and competed with his son-in-law for the position, so he was released. and his long, attached to the general He Jin, plotted to punish the eunuchs, and his knowledge was unknown, and the tired general He Jin died. Outside the green and trivial door, the anger of the hard man, regardless of right and wrong, punished the palace servants, causing the Son of Heaven to be turbulent and displaced, and Dong Thief entered Beijing. Dong Zhuo went against the sky and did the abolition of the establishment, Yuan Shao and Yuan Kui did not say a word, Dong Zhuo was angry, left Beijing in a hurry, and was embarrassed by the Bohai Sea. After the fourth world and the third duke, the upper can not support the Son of Heaven, and the lower can not be An Lishu, only know that the wise protect himself, and the heroes of the world think that the savior is also, and he vainly teaches people to laugh and break the liver and intestines.

The princes surrounded Luoyang and saved the Son of Heaven, although Shao was the leader of the alliance, he only knew that he would be high in wine and did not want to forge ahead. My lord Liu Jizhou, Wu Lie Yingyang, and Meng Degong approached Dong Thief directly, and fought under Hangu Pass. When Yuan Shao entered Los Angeles, he actually showed his stubbornness and disobedience, which was obvious.

Chang'an chaos, the Son of Heaven came to Anyi, my lord traveled thousands of miles to assist the Son of Heaven, was in Luoyang, and was loved by my emperor, called the emperor's uncle, and the world knew about it. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao's wolf ambition, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, besieged my lord Liu Jizhou in Luoyang City, fortunately God blessed the good people, my lord with only 500 sharp soldiers, even a clever plan, broke out of Luoyang, went through hardships and dangers, and got back to Chang'an. Outside the city of Baitan, Yuan Shao used poison again, in a vain attempt to attack and kill my master, relying on the favor of the sky, the soldiers used their lives, Yuan Shao lost his troops and the conspiracy was exposed.

The Son of Heaven is in the capital, so he can't leave the palace gate; Yuan Shao is the son of Ling Tianzi, and he is a hundred officials, and all political affairs are decided by Yuan's mansion. Yuan Shaoyang was complacent, and although he was not the son of heaven, he did the things of the son of heaven.

Just ask the world, is there such an unkind, unrighteous, disloyal, unfilial, shameless, and shameless man who has lost his conscience?

My lord Liu Jizhou, advocate righteousness in the world, cut off Yuan Shao's rebel ministers and thieves, and correct my emperor's throne. To help Yuan Shao be evildoer, it is advisable to think about retreating as soon as possible, and not to be violent in front of the world.

Special transmission to the world, so that the common know.

After Liu Ze saw it, he said that it was good.

Cao Cao received the edict of King Yuan Shaoqin, and threw it aside disdainfully, Cheng Yu said: "Yuan Benchu faked the order of the Son of Heaven, and the Duke of Ming should think twice before acting." Cao Cao said: "Zhongde can know that Yuan Shao chased and killed Rundong, and he did everything he could, which was outrageous. Cheng Yu said: "However, Yuan Shao, in the name of the Son of Heaven, should take action." Cao Cao said impatiently: "Inform Cao Hong, lead three thousand men and horses, and slowly march to Jizhou." ”

Liu Bei saw the edict of King Qin, he was very happy, and immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses to go to battle, Sun Qian said: "The lord is slow, Lu Feng first tun Xiao County, Yuan Highway is ready to move, the army is leaving, the rear is not safe, please think twice." Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: Yes, Gongyou is right, he is in a hurry to find Liu Ze for revenge, why did he forget this stubble? Liu Bei retracted his thoughts and said to Sun Gan: "What is Gongyou's plan? Sun Qian said: "Lu Fengxian has 30,000 soldiers, why don't the lord fund grain and grass and order him to send troops." Liu Bei patted Sun Gan's shoulder and said again and again: "Gongyou Zhenwu Zifang." ”

Yuan Shu received the edict and scolded Yuan Shao, "Yuan Shao's concubine, who claims to be a general, has no position to seal me, Liu Rundong attacks Youzhou, the sooner the better, and forces this concubine to death." Yuan Yin heard it all over the place, why do you have to scold it in front of others about her own family, this uncle is really a headache. Although Yuan Shao is a concubine, but his reputation is much better than that of this uncle, Yuan Yin looked at Yuan Shu and said carefully: "The general was attacked by Liu Rundong, the so-called brother who fights the tiger, and the father and son soldiers go into battle, if... If the general loses power, Huainan will be unable to support it alone. Li Feng also said on the side: "General Yuan Yin, what you say is reasonable. The Duke of Ming should send troops north to support each other with the generals. Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and said: "Lu Fengxian is not willing to do anything in Yuzhou, and there are a lot of soldiers under him who can fight, if we attack with a coalition army, isn't it?" Li Feng said: "This plan is wonderful, and Ming Gong will do it quickly." Yuan Shu squinted his triangular eyes and said to Li Feng: "How about Li Feng's hard trip?" Li Feng happily accepted the order.

Yuan Shao was judged, Yuan Shang stayed in Luoyang, Yan Liang was the main general, and Zhu Ling, Jiang Qi, Wang Mo, and Xia Zhao commanded 50,000 troops to guard Luoyang City and its surroundings. The self-marshal generals Ju Yi and Chun Yuqiong, and the deputy generals Ma Yan, Jiao Touch, Lu Kuang, Gao Xiang, etc., with an army of more than 200,000, went north to Jixian County. The Jixian guard is Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, standing at the head of the city at this moment, looking at the more than 200,000 Jizhou troops outside the city, so frightened that he almost became incontinent.

When Liu Ze heard that Yuan Shao's army of more than 200,000 troops was heading north, he couldn't sit still and decided to go out in person. Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and Lu Su dissuaded, but Liu Ze did not listen. In desperation, accompanied by Guo Jia, Liu Ze led Shi A, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and 5,000 guards to embark on the journey west to Jixian County.

Liu Ze's 5,000-man march was naturally much faster than Yuan Shao's, and when he came to the outside of Jixian County, Guan Yu and others had already organized several sieges of the city, but to no avail.

Liu Ze looked at the map and asked Guo Jiadao: "Jixian is difficult, Yuan Shao's army is coming again, what is the plan to break it?" Guo Jia frowned and thought for a while and said: "Yuan Shao's army, the grain and grass are heavy, and the cost is quite a lot, why not hold on for time?" If the road behind is cut off, the grain and grass will be lost, and the morale of the army will be chaotic. Liu Ze asked Guan Yu: "Yuan Jun pioneer, where has he been?" Guan Yu said: "I have entered Zhuo County." Liu Ze said: "Fengxiao, besiege the city and send reinforcements, is it okay?" Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Around Jixian County, there are dense waterways, and it is difficult not to be discovered if you can fight in a small area. Zhang He said: "Ming Gong, I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" Liu Ze said: "Speak quickly." Zhang He pointed his finger at Le'an, Liu Ze and Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhang He said: "Qingzhou Ziyi, there are more than 100,000 troops, why didn't Ming Gong order General Ziyi to take a boat to the sea, secretly sneak into the Bohai Sea, cross the Zhangshui and Hutuo River, and wait for the opportunity to burn the grain and grass of the Yuan army." Liu Ze looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia patted the case and said, "It's a clever idea." ”

Yuan Shao came to Jixian County and held on to Liu Ze. Liu Ze sent out scouts to reconnoiter the route of Yuan's army transporting grain and grass. The harrier eagle flew far away to check the movements of various counties in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao didn't want to fight this battle, he just wanted to force Liu Ze back, and everything would be fine. The rear of Jizhou can not be fortified, their own rear is not good, at any time to guard against pretenders from all walks of life, in this way, it is necessary to divide the troops, in case of a fire in the backyard, they are the fire team, when the time comes, Jixian will not be self-defeating. Therefore, Yuan Shao made up his mind and stationed outside Jixian County, and Jixian County was a horn to guard each other.

Cao Hong's so-called 3,000 Qinwang soldiers have been in Qinghe for more than ten days before they arrived in Qinghe, how can Yuan Shao be interested in this little bit of people. However, the 30,000 reinforcements of Lu Bu and Ji Ling had already arrived in the river, and Yuan Shao was happy to urge the scouts to prepare to meet Lu Bu and Ji Ling.

Tai Shici received a secret order, secretly led 20,000 elites, quietly went to the sea, avoided the ears and eyes of Yuan Jun of Bohai County, and after nightfall, took the opportunity to go ashore and found a dense forest to hide.

Idle, Liu Ze instructed Guan Yu to organize dozens of cavalry detachments, with Tun and Qu as units, far bypassing Jixian County and going deep into Jizhou, or harassing the grain and grass team, or waiting for an opportunity to attack the county seat and plunder materials.

After holding each other for several months, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Liu Ze was a little anxious, Guo Jia said: "Ziyi plundered the grain and grass of the Yuan army, and the results were very small. Liu Ze remembered the classic example of Boss Cao's night attack on Wuchao, and said to Guo Jia: "If you find the place where Yuan Jun is stockpiling grain, you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Yuan Shao is more anxious, the grain and grass transported to the front line are often burned for no reason, although Jizhou is quite rich, but Yuan Shao has ordered the collection of grain and grass three times, such a scraping method, scraping the people of Jizhou again, it is estimated that there will be a rebellion.

A month later, the Jizhou scouts finally discovered the place where the Yuan army was stockpiled with grain, and Shi A's special elite immediately launched an operation, the Yuan army scouts, the squad patrol began to disappear for no reason, and after preparing for more than ten days, and getting thousands of sets of Yuan army clothes, Liu Ze decided to start an operation. Liu Ze personally led the team, Guo Jia and everyone did not follow, Liu Ze said: "I don't go deep into the dangerous place, how can I motivate the soldiers?" ”

Yuan Shao hides the place of grain very hidden, there is a hill near Yang Township, Zhuo County, the mountain is not high, but the vegetation is abundant, it is seventy or eighty miles away from Ji County, it is extremely convenient to transport. Yuan Shao hoarded grain and grass in the dense forest, and it was difficult to find it with the benefit of an eagle's eye.

Liu Ze started the operation after dark, and thousands of people in the forward changed into Yuan Jun's clothes, and Shi A sent people to clean up the scouts and ask for orders. Bypassing Yuan Shao Dazhai far away, avoiding the patrol of the brigade, he gradually approached Yangxiang.

Tai Shici was not idle during this time, and relied on tracking the grain transportation team to find the location of Yuan Jun's grain. Prepare to take action tonight and burn Yuan's army grain and grass.

Tai Shi Ci crouched on the slope of the hill, observing the defense of the grain and grass camp from a distance, and the soldiers around him came to report: "General, in the dark night, about 10,000 troops are coming to the grain and grass camp. Tai Shi Ci was taken aback, "How far is it to arrive?" "Less than ten miles." What to do? Tai Shi Ci looked at the grain and grass that was about to be obtained, and gave up like this, feeling unwilling, Tai Shi Ci pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Spare no effort, all of them attack." "Twenty thousand soldiers came out of the darkness, pushed through the wall, and slaughtered into the grain and grass camp.

Lu Kuang and Gao Xiang took 30,000 horses to guard the grain and grass, knowing that this was a major matter related to the life and death of more than 200,000 people, so they were cautious and led the troops to patrol in shifts. The sudden sound of killing shocked the two, and they hurriedly gathered their soldiers and held on to the village.

Tai Shi Ci brandished an iron halberd, and in front of the invincible, a small group of men and horses quickly approached the grain hoard, and Tai Shi Ci shouted loudly while fighting hard: "Set fire." Lu Kuang was anxious and led thousands of men and horses to surround him, but Tai Shici had no choice but to retreat while fighting.

Liu Ze was marching, Dian Wei pointed to the front and said, "Ming Gong, the fire is rising in front of you, and the sound of fighting is coming." Liu Ze shouted: "The whole army accelerates and launches an attack." More than 10,000 people urged the war horses, not caring about hiding their whereabouts, and galloping at full speed.

Tai Shi Ci retreated outside the wall, watched Lu Kuang gallop back and forth on horseback, commanding the battle, sneered, opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow, Lu Kuang heard the scream, and hurriedly dodged, Tai Shi Ci's arrow, how could it be easily avoided, an arrow hit the ribs, Lu Kuang screamed, and fell off the war horse. Tai Shi Ci rushed forward, turned over on Lu Kuang's war horse, and suddenly became like a tiger with wings, fighting back and forth in the Yuan army's array.

Liu Zeshuai's army came to Dazhai and saw that when the gate of the village was closed, Yuan Jun was holding a bow and arrow, waiting for the battle. Liu Ze shouted: "Dian Wei." Dian Wei rode forward, his right arm was raised, and a black package flew towards the wall, and Liu Ze shouted again: "Yun Chang." Guan Yu had already held the bow in his hand, the flame on the arrow trembled slightly, and as soon as his right hand was loosened, the arrow flew towards the package, and was inserted into the package. Guan Yu took the lead, crossed the trench, picked up the big knife, only heard the sound of "pop", and the gate was split in pieces. In the firelight, Guan Yu smashed into the crowd of Yuan's army, and 10,000 cavalry in the rear entered.

Gao Xiang was stunned, and Tai Shi Ci smiled. The two armies scattered the Yuan army, set fire to the grain and grass, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

Liu Ze looked at Tai Shici being smoked like the king of the stove, and said with a smile: "Only by meeting Ziyi unexpectedly can you compete for this great achievement." Yuan Shao's grain and grass were destroyed, and the troops must be withdrawn, and Ziyi should set up an ambush on the main road, waiting for the opportunity to take Yuan Shao's dog's life. Tai Shi Ci answered the call and left.

When Yuan Shao saw the fire in Yangxiang, his heart sank, and he said secretly: "It's over, it's over." Xu Yu hurriedly walked into the big tent, "Ming Gong, this must be Liu Rundong who burned our army's grain and grass and quickly sent a large army to rescue." Yuan Shao also panicked, and hurriedly sent an order to Chun Yuqiong, with 50,000 handsome troops, and set off quickly to rescue the grain and grass camp.
