Chapter 218: All-out Strike

Han Yi took Xiacai County as a grain point, and led 25,000 people straight to Shouchun City. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiujiang County governs Yinling County, while Yangzhou Thorn History Department is in Shouchun. Shouchun is close to Runan, and it will arrive two or three days after leaving Runan, so Yuan Shucai is very panicked about Han Yijun's arrival.

Han Yi led the army to Shouchun City, only to see the banner on Shouchun City, the soldiers were strict, the swords and guns were like a forest, and the arrows were like rain. Not at all like what the previous secret agent reported, Yuan Shu was frightened and had already retreated to Yinling, and the army under his command retreated to Liyang one step earlier, with the intention of crossing the river to Danyang.

Han Yi asked, "Who is the general left behind in Shouchun City?" How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

Yang Li on the side hurriedly said: "The secret agent has not found the name of the guard, but the number of soldiers and horses in the city should be about more than 10,000. It's just strange why it doesn't match the news reported, and the soldiers in the city don't seem to be panicked. ”

Han Yi sighed: "This guard can still pack up the army's heart and wait for it after Yuan Shu leads the army to abandon the city and leave." It seems that this Yuan Shu is famous all over the world, but it is not just by virtue of the reputation of the Yuan family, but in this set of employing people, it is still quite clever. The order was given, the army retreated ten miles to the village, and Cheng Pu led the troops to challenge it to see how the defenders responded. ”

Cheng Pu was ordered to go out and lead his troops to the city to call for battle, but the city was silent for a long time. Cheng Pu didn't know who the guard was, and he was speechless. The moat under Shouchun City is quite wide, and it can't be buried for a while, so the army has attacked the city. In desperation, Cheng Pu had to lead the army around the city, and scolded every time he arrived at a door. Try to see the guards with a fiery temperament go out of the city to fight.

However, no one responded to the west gate and the south gate, and when Cheng Pu led the troops to the east gate, the first general of the city saw it and rushed to dodge under it. Cheng Pu's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw that he was the great enemy in the Battle of Luoyang in the past, and Lu Bulu Fengxian, who was known as the flying general.

Cheng Pu laughed and said: "Who is guarding the city, but it turns out to be Lu Bu, a villain who has repeatedly killed the lord and sought glory." It is no wonder that General Zhengdong led his troops to attack Shouchun City, and the defending generals would not raise the banner and dare not face the besieging army. ”

Deputy generals Sima Zhuzhi and Xu Zhen said: "Cheng Gong, Lu Bu is known as a flying general, and he has always been brave and strong in battle. Anyway, Lu Bu and General Zhengdong have a grudge against killing their father-in-law, so we can step back for the time being and report to General Zhengdong later. ”

Cheng Pu hesitated for a while before he said: "After the death of the lord in the past, I can't wait to remember the words that the lord had intended to entrust the general of Zhengdong in the early years, and forcibly helped Yuan Shu to attack the general of Zhengdong. After we were defeated, General Zhengdong did not blame us for the crime of helping Yuan Shu, but also trusted us so much, and gave us more than 10,000 army commanders. This candid, honest and willful, which can be compared to the old generals of the Han family, is not the same, so how can I repay it. ”

"It is a big mistake that we have not called the title of General Zhengdong so far. Seeing that General Zhengdong's enemy is here, how can we turn around and leave without a single shot. In this way, will we still have a face to stand in the world? With that, Cheng Pu slapped his horse and rushed straight up, shouting under the city:

"Lu Bu thief, the villain who kills the lord and seeks glory, now that he sees the army of General Zhengdong coming, he will not quickly open the city and surrender, and offer your stinky dog head, when will he wait?"

Cheng Pu's scolding made Lu Bu in the city angry. After a cannon sounded, the east gate of Shouchun was opened, and Lu Bu destroyed the red rabbit, and the hand dance Fang Tian painting halberd rushed straight to Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu was not afraid, holding an iron-spine snake spear and calmly responding to the battle.

Lu Bu is brave by nature and has excellent martial arts, but he can kill Cheng Pu in a cold sweat just by counting. Cheng Pu gritted his teeth and fought Lu Bu to the death, but after the ten counts, Lu Bu slapped Cheng Pu off the horse with a backhand, and Zhu Zhi and Xu Zhen hurriedly led the cavalry to snatch Cheng Pu.

Lu Bu didn't kill anyone, he just made a move to draw a halberd. Gao Shun led the troops to kill along the south gate city wall, and Zhang Liao led the troops along the city wall to kill at the north gate, and Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and other generals in the city were killed. Cheng Pu's army could not resist the enemy, and walked away facing the defeat in the east.

Lu Bu's army only chased out a few miles, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops. However, just at this moment or so, Cheng Pu's army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, which shows the fierceness of Lu Bu's army. Cheng Pu cleaned up the defeated army and returned to the camp to report to Han Yi to know.

Han Yi was silent for a long time after hearing this, not wanting Lu Bu to join Yuan Shu's command after the defeat in Chang'an. Shouchun City has high walls and deep pools, with a radius of more than 8,000 steps, and strong generals like Lu Bu led an army of 10,000 people to defend the city, and there is no 100,000 troops besieging day and night, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to take.

Han Yi didn't want to storm Shouchun, so as not to lose many soldiers. If he was killed and wounded too badly by Lu Bu's army, how could he still have the strength to fight against Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops in Yinling and Liyang.

Yuan Shu is in Jiujiang County, in fact, the best direction of expansion is Runan County in Yuzhou. However, Yuan Shu was afraid of Han Yi's troops, and to the east was Yuan Shu's only ally, Tao Qian. Therefore, for Yuan Shu, the only way to unite with the east and west, to go north and go south.

The road to the north was intercepted twice by Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu had already extinguished his ambition to go north. The only way to cross the river is to take the land of Jiangdong, sit back and enjoy the glory, and watch the general trend of the world. However, the court suddenly appointed Han Yi as the general of Zhengdong and the pastor of Yangzhou, not because he wanted Han Yi and Yuan Shu to fight.

It's just that what the court didn't expect was that Yuan Shu's tiger was just a Songcao pseudo-tiger, and he couldn't compete with Han Yi's real tiger at all. If it weren't for the help of a dove tiger from the north, Yuan Shu would have already crossed the Yangtze River at this time.

It's just that Lu Bu and Han Yiben have no grudges, and they still had a lot of friendship in the early years. It was only because of Ding Yuan's death that Lu Bu felt a little guilty about Han Yi. However, Ding Yuan is treating Lu Bu with good and dark evil, and Lu Bu is not Ding Yuan's personal general and personal subordinate like Mu Shun, although killing him is hindered, it is not a big crime.

Moreover, Han Yi and Ding Yuan also have a grudge in secret, if Lu Bu did not kill Ding Yuan, Han Yi would also lead the army to attack Ding Yuan's army. Therefore, there is really no enmity between Han Yi and Lu Bu. It's just that this matter can only be narrated by both sides in secret, and it is not easy to put it on the surface. And Lu Bu has been avoiding it, and Han Yi can only look at the city and sigh.

Han Yi looked for an opportunity to find someone to enter the city under Shouchun City to persuade Lu Bu, but Lu Bu would never let anyone enter the city. Han Yi shouted under the city that Gao Shun and Zhang Liao came out to answer, but Gao Shun and Zhang Liao had already been told by Lu Bu and avoided them.

However, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Ding Yuan's old general Hao Meng are often seen in the city. It's just that Wei Xu was resentful that Han Yi didn't accept his sister back then, and he and Hou Cheng, Song Xian and other generals turned to return to the state army. Later, he followed Ding Yuan's expedition, and now he follows Lu Bu. Seeing Han Yi coming in person, he just sneered and mocked, and never informed Han Yi that Lu Bu knew.

Han Yi had no choice but to go to Hao Meng to discuss. Tai Shi Ci said impatiently: "Lord, since Lu Bu should not stop fighting, but just sit and defend the city, our army should simply take a detour to capture other places." With the status of the Yangzhou pastor appointed by the lord and the prestige of the army, he is afraid that he will fall from the wind. ”

Han Yi was not familiar with Hao Meng, and since Hao Meng was from Lu Bu, he naturally listened to Lu Bu's orders, so he was indifferent to Han Yi's persuasion. Han Yi stayed under Shouchun City for ten days, and Lu Jun, the commander of Lujiang, led 3,000 Lujiang soldiers to help, but it was in vain.

After all, Han Yi still adopted Tai Shi Ci's words, and ordered Yu Hua and Tai Shi Ci to lead 10,000 troops to take Ping'a, Dangtu, Xiquyang, Yicheng and other counties to the east, and directly approached Yuan Shu in Yinling. He also ordered Huang Gai and Lu Jun to lead the troops south to Chengde, Hefei, and Junxuan, and approached the Yuan army in Liyang. He led 10,000 people to confront Lu Bu under Shouchun City, and sat in charge of the grain road.

Ten days later, he suddenly heard that Liu Biao of Jingzhou was leading an army to attack. Han Yi was shocked when he heard the news, Yuzhou and Jingzhou have been safe and sound, and he still doesn't know why Liu Biao died; It was also heard that Cao Cao of Yanzhou also led a large army to attack, and the troops were divided into three routes, and Cao Renbu of the left route army had defeated Zhou Ge and Deng Dang's two generals of Liang State. The second general led the defeated troops to defend in Suiyang, and Che Jing and Han Dang had already gone to support after hearing the news.

The Xiahou Tang army on the right was besieging Yanling and Changshe at this time, and Yanling Chang Zhao Yan and Changshe Du attacked and defended the city, and urgently reported that Yin Li, the commander of Yingchuan, and Huang Zhong, the captain of Yingchuan, who were fighting against Liu Biaojun in Kunyang and Father City, knew about it. The two generals were shocked and only divided into troops to resist, Huang Zhong led 3,000 troops to resist Liu Biao's army, Yin Li led 3,000 county soldiers and Huang Zhong's 2,000 state soldiers rushed to aid Yanling and Changshe.

Cao Cao in the middle also defeated the defenders Tian Palm and Chen Guodu Wei Fang Ji, trapping the two in Yangxia City. The commanders of the other armies drove straight in, and even broke through Fule, Zhe, Changping, Wuping, Xinping, Ku and other counties, only to be stopped by Che Xi's troops who heard the news in Chen County. Che Xi ordered Xue Lan and Wang Dang, two generals who returned to Runan and Chen to transport grain, and Ningping and Runan Xihua in Chen, which stopped the rapid advance of Cao's army.

It's just that Cao Cao has obtained the land of the six counties of Chen State, and has 300,000 stone grains and grass, and already has the capital to fight a protracted war with Han Yijun. As long as Yuan Shaojun made progress in Hebei, even if he could not defeat Han Yi, he would be able to compress Han Yi in Runan County and not move. After several more battles, Han Yi will definitely surrender to the lonely.

After Han Yi got the report, his brows furrowed, thinking that this must be Yuan Shao's strategy, and Yuan Shao must have avenge Han Yi's instigation of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yang to attack Ji last year. In addition to Liu Biao Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will definitely make some moves in Hebei. Sure enough, within two days, the news that Yuan Shaobing was divided into two routes, one to take the party and the other to Hanoi.

Han Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh, this was a comprehensive blow to the already forces. Seeing that the territory from the country is too narrow and long, just like Han and Wei during the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, they were besieged by many parties to Zhao, Qi, Chu, Qin and other countries.

Han Yi ordered the generals to withdraw their troops and return to Xia Cai. However, Yuan Shujun knew the news early and was prepared. When the generals retreated, Yuan Shujun chased after him and invited him to fight for days. Yu Hua, Tai Shici, Huang Gai, Luo Jun and other generals fought and retreated, but they were still entangled by Yuan Shujun and could not move.
