Chapter 767: The Embarrassed Yuan Shu (Part II)
At the same time, on a high ground outside Xiaohua City, the sound of the piano had stopped at this time. Zhou Yu smiled brightly, listening to a general report on the results of last night's battle. However, it is said that Yuan Shu's 20,000 elite troops besieged the city, burned to death by fire or trampled to death, about 10,000 thousands, and thousands of people who successfully escaped but were captured by Sun's army, among which countless war horses and weapons were obtained. This time, Zhou Yu not only got a large amount of loot, but also defeated Yuan Shu's army effortlessly, and the harvest was extremely rich, the value of which was worth ten small Huacheng.
Speaking of which, Zhou Yu had long expected that Yuan Shu would raise troops to attack, so he had already gathered a fine group of people under his command to form a team and go to Xiaohua City to prepare secretly. By the time Yuan Shu knew about the preparations and sent someone to monitor them, Zhou Yu had already prepared.
This is exactly the strategy and the plan for a rainy day.
"Strategist, the last general doesn't understand anything." Ling Cao, who was beside Zhou Yu, hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but ask Zhou Yu with the curiosity in his heart.
"Hehe, does Kun Tao want to ask me why I let go of that Yuan Highway?" And Zhou Yu was as expected as ever, and suddenly said what Ling Cao was thinking.
"The military advisor is smart!" When Ling Cao heard this, his face was shocked, and he bowed respectfully.
"The reason is very simple, I want to ask Kun Tao you, if Yuan Highway dies, what will be the future situation in the world?" Zhou Yu turned around, his eyes were like stars, flickering, and asked lightly.
Ling Cao's face tightened at first, and then he thought about it, and soon had an answer, and replied in a condensed voice: "As soon as Yuan Highway dies, Huainan will inevitably be chaotic. Huainan is rich and close to the Yangtze River, so the surrounding people can fish for a living, and never need to worry about food shortages. All the princes of the world covet this treasure land. Therefore, once Huainan loses the tiger of Yuan Highway, the princes of the world will go there like hungry tigers. The first to send troops must be Liu Qian in Yangzhou, followed by Tao Qian in Xuzhou, but in the end, the land of Huainan will only be divided by the two. That is Cao Cao, the biggest minister in the court today, and Ma Xi, the ghost god of Yanzhou! And the strength of my Sun Jiajun, don't say that compared with these two people, even Liu Miao and Tao Qian are inferior. What's more, if we send troops rashly, not only will we be called anti-thieves, but we will not be able to get an inch of land, but we will encourage the momentum of others, which can be described as a hundred disadvantages and no benefits! If this is the case, it is better to sell his favor to that Zhang Xun, so that he can teach him to serve my Sun family in the future!! Zhou Yu said unhurriedly and with a smile. Ling Cao listened to Zhou Yu's analysis, and instantly came to his senses, and couldn't help but show a look of admiration on his face, and sighed: "The military advisor is thoughtful, it's better to!" ”
"Okay, now our army has obtained a lot of armaments and troops sent by this Yuan Highway, and soon the lord will come back after the experience of Jingzhou, and after a period of rectification, my Sun family army can start the next step of the plan and officially start my Sun family's plan!!" As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Ling Cao's eyes suddenly burst into flames, and he couldn't help but look shocked, and replied angrily: "Then the general will wait for the military division to send!" ”
However, he said that Zhang Xun came to see Zhou Yu that day, and under the angry eyes of the generals, he knelt down and confessed his guilt calmly, willing to die. When Zhou Yu heard that Zhang Xun had let Yuan Shu go, he was furious, and wanted to kill Zhang Xun on the spot to shock the army. All the generals were scolded angrily, but Ling Cao rushed out to intercede for it, and bluntly said that Zhang Xun was an old general of the Yuan family, and he was very prestigious among the Yuan prisoners, and now the Sun family's army, nearly half of them are composed of Yuan prisoners, if they are killed, I am afraid that there will be many old Yuan soldiers in the army to rebel. It's better to spare his life for the time being, and wait for Sun Ce to return before making a decision. Zhou Yu listened to it reasonably, and Cheng Pu has always appreciated Zhang Xun, and also interceded for it, Zhou Yu only exonerated him, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime is inescapable, Zhou Yu removed Zhang Xun from his position that day, and the military staff was thirty, and Zhang Xun was beaten to the point of rotten.
On the other hand, it was said that Yuan Shuxing was rescued by Ji Ling, but he was not in a hurry to withdraw his troops, but gradually retreated to a Guanyang city near Runan and Huainan, and there was a great tendency to recruit the Huainan army again, regroup, and go to revenge. When Zhou Yu heard this, he hurriedly sent the meteor Ma Baozhi to attack Sun Ce in Jingzhou.
Two days later, it was said that Lu Bu and Sun Ce were not moving. On the other hand, the strange thing is that Zhang Yun repeatedly urged and threatened, seeing that the deadline had arrived, Lu Bu was still unhurried. On this day, Lu Bu did not advance but retreated, and led the troops to withdraw. And the strange thing is that not long after Lu Bu led his troops to retreat, the Sun family army guarding Yiyang City actually began to withdraw. At dusk that day, all the Sun family's troops withdrew. The strange thing is that not long after Sun Jiajun's front foot left, Lu Bu led his troops to kill under Yiyang City, and obtained Yiyang City without a single soldier.
That night, Lu Bu held a banquet in the city to entertain the generals, and after three rounds of drinking, a soldier couldn't help asking: "Wen Hou did not advance but retreated, why did he get Yiyang again, and the soldiers were not bloody, it can really be said that he is the best soldier!" ”
Lu Bu listened, and after pouring the wine in the cup in one gulp, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha~~!! Brothers, but I don't want to have a solid foundation for the Sun family army now, although Runan is good, but it is based on the heart, surrounded by the enemy on all sides, once many parties join forces to attack, even if Sun and Zhou are powerful, it will be difficult to be devoured by the enemy! That Zhou Gongjin was a demon from the Water Mirror Academy, how could he not see such a reason, so Sun Jiajun probably never thought of getting Jingzhou from the beginning! ”
"If that's the case, then why did the children of the Sun family bother to send troops?"
"Because the children of the Sun family are still under the fence! In order to curry favor with Cao Cao, he had to raise troops to fight, not to mention that his dispatch of troops this time made Runan more stable. As soon as Lu Bu said this, all the soldiers under his command showed surprise. One person asked urgently: "Why did Wen Hou say this?" ”
The reason is simple, because once the Sun family sent troops, most of the narrow-minded Yuan Highway could not bear the impulse, thinking that this was a good opportunity to recapture Runan, and then rushed to send troops to Runan. And Zhou Gongjin had already predicted, how could Yuan Highway be his opponent? In this way, Yuan Highway suffered another heavy setback, and this series of setbacks made him inevitably afraid of Sun Jiajun, and he would never dare to mention his invasion of Runan for a while. In this way, Runan will naturally be able to stabilize. In addition, at this time, the children of the Sun family withdrew their troops on the grounds of borrowing back reinforcements, even if Cao Cao learned that in order to appease the Sun family's army, it was not easy to blame, which was also Zhou Gongjin's strategy! I saw Lu Bu's eyes shining, flowing with the light of wisdom, and the soldiers were fascinated by it, and when they reacted, they looked at Lu Bu with fanatical eyes.
Lu Bu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and now he is more thoughtful, clever and calculating, he can be described as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, such a hero who combines civil and military affairs, throughout ancient and modern times, how many people are there?
At this point, the war in the south came to an end. Due to the endless wars in recent years, some of the forces of all sides have been swallowed up, and some have been strengthened by this. However, the princes of the world seem to understand the truth of reckless military force, and they have recuperated and recuperated in order to prepare for the change of the general trend of the world in the future.
Then, this chaotic era ushered in a rare time of peace. In the third year of Xingping, perhaps because the princes were tired of the war, this period of peace was much longer than the wise men of the world thought.
Time is like an arrow, and it will be two years. However, it is said that Cao Cao's tuntian plan has achieved incredible results, a large amount of grain has been prepared in two years, and the army has also been trained, and all the troops are much stronger.
On the other side, Yuan Shao also gradually stabilized the situation in Hebei, and began to allocate troops and horses, concentrated in Youzhou, preparing to annihilate the remnants of Gongsun Zhan's deployment and unify Youzhou.
In addition, Liu Bei worked hard in Bohai, recruited troops and horses, and the generals practiced day and night, and also got a lot of elite troops. Under Tian Yudi's reminder, Liu Bei also found that the situation in Youzhou was about to change greatly, and he recruited the elites of various departments to prepare for the upcoming war.
As for Sun Ce in Runan, he also reported to the imperial court on the grounds that Jiangdong had been repeatedly invaded by Shanyue, and secretly prepared a large number of ships, preparing to cross the river to Jiangdong and crusade against Shanyue.
And at the same time that the princes in various places were preparing for war, and looking at the land of Yan and Qingzhou, it was still peaceful, and no troops were mobilized.
On this day, in Mount Tai, only to see the mountains rugged, verdant like jade, a gust of wind blowing, the mountains and seas are like tides, under the brilliant sunshine, looking far away, Fang Jue people are small.
And on the bumpy mountain road, I saw a child who was as strong as an eleven or two-year-old child, but there was still a little immaturity on his face, and he was climbing up, and on his white and tender face, beads of sweat continued to fall, and although the mountain road was dangerous, he didn't know where the end was. But the child's eyes were firm, and he took steps step by step, like a vigorous tiger climbing.
But said that this son is Ma Yi, the eldest son of Ma Zongheng, and he is only six years old this year, but because he has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and Wang Yue has been carefully trained since childhood, two years ago Hua Yang created a physical technique called "Five Fowl Opera" to strengthen the body, Ma Yi practiced every day, and unconsciously, there were eleven or two children's physique, which surprised Wang Yue, Hua Yang and the generals of the Ma family. But when they thought of his ghostly father, they were quickly relieved.
"Hey!" I only heard Ma Yi shout lightly, his body was like a wild goose spreading his wings, jumping up in one step, half a zhang, and soon jumped on the small slope, his body was so steady, I am afraid that even some people who have studied martial arts all year round are not as good.
"Daddy let me for an hour, if I step up, maybe I can really climb to the top of the mountain before him, and then I can go out with him to see the battlefield where ten thousand troops are fighting and swallowing thousands of miles!" Ma Yi said, a team of particularly clear eyes flashing with a scorching light.
At this moment, a strange wind suddenly hit, Ma Yi couldn't help but change his complexion, and a strange wind suddenly appeared in this mountain, which was an ominous omen. The so-called dragon from the cloud and the tiger from the wind, this strange wind is from top to bottom, if you encounter the tiger from the mountain, it will be dangerous. And Ma Yi has already heard that among Mount Tai, there is a white-haired tiger, extremely fierce, I don't know how many lives have been eaten over the years, but because of this, the number of people who go to Mount Tai is gradually decreasing, so that Mount Tai has calmed down a lot over the years, the mountains and forests are less man-made destruction, and hunting, and the scenery has become more beautiful.
