Chapter 235: Yuan Shu is defeated
Thinking that he could harvest brutality points, Cao Mengde was very happy.
The order was given immediately to go to the attack.
Cao Cao asked Cao Ren to guard the capital, and Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops to the expedition, and Cao Cao reorganized his men and horses while converging with Sun Ce and Liu Bei.
Cao Mengde was in Yuzhou and met Liu Bei.
Cao Mengde invited Liu Bei into the barracks, and at this time, Liu Bei entered and met the prime minister.
Then he threw a human head on the ground.
Cao Mengde was puzzled and said, "Who is this?"
Liu Bei said: "This is the head of the anti-thief Yang Feng!"
Cao Mengde said: How can you get it?
Liu Xuande said: "Lu Bu sent Yang Feng to Yiyuan to serve, I robbed this person halfway, let me invite him into the city, I put on a banquet, drank three rounds, I threw a cup as a number, General Guan Yu rushed up, hacked this person to death with a knife, and came to confess."
Cao Mengde stepped down, looked at Yang Feng, who had been killed, and said to Liu Bei: "You have done a good job, this is to eliminate harm for the country, how can you say that this is a sin, this is a contribution to the society, for the people of the world to eliminate harm, to win glory for the country, what is the crime?"
So, Cao Mengde decided to reward Liu Xuande, work hard for Liu Bei, and join forces to the Xuzhou boundary, Lu Bu came out to greet him, Cao Mengde persuaded him with kind words, let him not be careful, as long as he made meritorious contributions, on the day he returned, he would send him a ribbon and let him manage Xuzhou.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and happy.
Cao Mengde named LΓΌ Bu as the right general, gave him a part of the soldiers and horses, and let Liu Bei soldiers and horses, Cao Mengde himself led the army in the center.
Xiahoudun, Yu Ban is the first officer!
Yuan Shu was in the palace and heard that Cao Mengde personally led 170,000 men and horses to come to kill!
Among them, he got the cooperation of Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and hurriedly sent people to fight!
Yuan Shu knew that Cao Mengde's soldiers and horses were coming, and ordered the general Qiaowei to lead 50,000 troops as a vanguard, and he would be at the mouth of Shouchun boundary.
The bridge guard saw Xiahoudun, and the people on the west road began to fight!
The two horses intersected, the fight was very great, Xiahoudun and the bridge guard fought for thirty-four rounds, and in the end they were stabbed to death by Xiahoudun with one shot!
Originally, Cao Mengde, honor knocked down this person, and then hit this person, he didn't believe it and didn't prove it.
Cao Mengde wants Xiahoudun not to kill this person, he can get brutality points!
But he was quickly disappointed!
Because this guy is really fast, he can't hack this person to death.
Yuan Shu was defeated and rushed back to the city, and suddenly heard a report, Sun Ce's men and horses rushed over from the river, Lu Bu attacked the east, Liu Xuande and Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei went to the west.
Cao Mengde led 170,000 troops to the south.
Yuan Shu was shocked and hurriedly summoned all the talents to choose a good strategy?!
"Shouchun has been in drought for many years, people are short of food, and today they are working the people and losing money, and it is really unwise to use troops to disturb the people. It's better to stay in Shouchun, wait and see, and refuse to fight! β
"Your Majesty, don't fight with it, you don't need to save people! It is not wise to fight back with Cao Mengde. β
Yuan Shu used his language and refused to accept the challenge, no matter how Cao Mengde scolded, he would never open the city gate!
Let Li Fang, Le Xiu, Zhang Yang, and Chen Gang lead 100,000 troops to stick to Shouchun!
Cao Mengde's expedition this time has 170,000 soldiers and horses, and for Cao Mengde, there are actually more to be used.
Cao Mengde has a large number of generals, and it is not a problem to have 500,000 horses, and after the strong support of Yu Ban and others, the new Qingzhou people and horses are very powerful!
Powerful enough to be speechless, beyond the reach of the dust.
Some of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses couldn't resist and fled to Huainan.
Cao Mengde led an army of 170,000 horses and horses to annihilate Yuan Shu, and the food problem of 170,000 people is definitely not a small number, because it is really annoying!
You must know that the food problem of 170,000 people can stump Cao Mengde.
170,000 soldiers and horses, the consumption is huge day by day, and if there is not enough food, it is very likely to cause a mutiny!
Of course, Cao Mengde understands that in this case, the only thing is to fight quickly, get out of here quickly, and kill the enemy quickly.
Grain and grass are running out.
And Yuan Shu avoided the battle and did not dare to fight.
This situation lasted for half a month, and Cao Mengde said to Liu Bei: "I want to fight quickly, but this old thing Yuan Shu refuses to duel with me for a long time, which makes me very angry and very angry in my heart."
At this time, the grain officer Wang Yuan walked into the big tent, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Qi Xiang Prime Minister, there are more soldiers and less food, how should this be good?"
"How long will the food last?"
"Half a month at most."
Cao Mengde smiled slightly, and said to Liu Bei: "Liu Yuanjun, you have also seen that the supply of food exceeds the demand, and my 170,000 people will starve to death here."
Liu Xuande groaned slightly and said, "Leave this matter to me."
Cao Mengde nodded and said, "How long does it take to prepare food?"
Liu Xuande said: "As much as a month, as little as half a month."
Liu Xuande said to Wang Yuan in private: "Because you don't do your best to manage the grain, the prime minister wants to kill your life, you listen to me." It's ...... save your life."
"What?"
Liu Bei said: "You can replace the big bucket with a small bucket, and the general will eat it."
"Thank you for your guidance."
One day, Cao Mengde inspected various camps, only to see the soldiers complaining, Cao Mengde only learned after asking that it was the big bucket that was replaced by the small bucket!
Cao Mengde was very angry and furious because of this.
and ordered the grain keeper to be beheaded.
"You dare to deduct military rations, you really deserve death! Execute by beheading! β
The order was given, and the man was pushed out and beheaded!
Cao Mengde asked Liu Bei, and Liu Bei said that the military rations were ready, but they were just detained.
After killing this person, the morale mutiny did not happen!
The next day, Cao Mengde ordered that the city wall would be attacked in three days, and if he couldn't take it, he would die!
Cao Mengde personally came to the city to supervise everything the soldiers did, and two soldiers wanted to escape, but Cao Mengde personally beheaded the city!
At this time, no one dared to run away and disobey military orders!
Because of this, the morale is high, and all the soldiers are in high spirits and want to kill these people.
was forced to retreat and had nowhere to retreat, so he could only fight desperately.
On the city wall, unable to resist, Cao Jun desperately died, pounced one after another, and no one dared to retreat, and soon, the city fell, the city gate was opened, and tens of thousands of people rushed into the city!
Shouchun City fell, many soldiers were killed, Cao Mengde ordered someone to burn the gate of the forged palace, and the fire suddenly soared to the sky!
At this time, someone came to report that Cao Cao had fallen, and Yuan Shu led the army and horses to fight out of the siege and escape!
Cao Mengde was about to send troops to chase after him, but was stopped by Liu Bei, who said: "The city has fallen and the people's hearts are unstable, so it is better to appease the people and pacify the city!"
For his words, although Cao Mengde was angry in his heart, he was helpless!
After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both good men!
Now he needs help, otherwise he will kill Liu Bei!
