Chapter 459 - Hire Your Soldiers First, Then Your Country—16
Since the end of the war against Dong Zhuo, Suning has not taken any decent actions on the Eastern Front. Even the two systems of taking a defensive position have become the stereotyped impression of the princes of the Kanto region, and when they take various actions and formulate certain strategies, they will not take the Liangzhou system as the main reference factor, because they know that no matter what kind of earth-shattering actions they make, they will not attract the extra attention of this behemoth.
But what was happening now surprised them, and it was obvious that this behemoth had been watching their every move, instead of adopting a policy of disdain for the weak princes of all walks of life, as they had imagined.
After the battle for Emperor Liu Xie was further expanded, Tao Qian and Liu Bei of Xuzhou were ready to fight Cao Cao to the death, but at this time, an urgent military message from the west forced them to face a more complicated situation, because Suning had personally led 20 commanded troops to break out of the high-rise buildings of Luoyang City and enter the vast and flat North China Plain.
Although there were only 10,000 of them, and although they were still more than ten days away from Xuzhou, Liu Bei and Tao Qian still felt the coldness of the edge.
At this time, Lu Bu had also entered the territory of Xuzhou and established a basic connection with the gold rush.
Tao Qian's heart still has a few remnants of the Han Dynasty, so after getting in touch, he hopes to meet the Han Emperor Liu Xie through Lu Bu, but at this time, Lu Bu has already fallen out with the emperor, and he is not ready to let Liu Xie get the support of other courtiers.
So this generation of fierce generals neatly rejected Tang Tian's request, and the excuse he gave was that Emperor Liu Xie, because of the successive wars, he was angry on the road, and before he arrived in Xuzhou, he was already bedridden. When I entered Xuzhou, I was even more worried, and now I am terminally ill, so I can only recuperate with peace of mind, otherwise I am likely to have a mistake.
Tao Qian and Liu Bei are disdainful of whether this statement is true or not, but they are both loyal courtiers of the Han Dynasty, and at least on the surface, they still have to make this appearance, so they can't ignore the emperor's health. Therefore, when faced with Lu Bu's excuse, all they could do was to honestly return to their own territory. But none of the things that Lu Bu asked for, they were not interested in actively handling it.
Lu Bu was obviously very dissatisfied with this situation, so he sent people to blame Tao Qian several times, but Tao Qian also gave him the same excuse, that is, he himself was unwell and no longer had enough ability to deal with the affairs of Xuzhou, so it was impossible to do everything in terms of logistics and supply, this statement obviously angered Lu Bu, although exposing this excuse would inevitably cause unhappiness on both sides. But Tao Qian, the old man, used such despicable means to disgust him, how could Lu Bu not make him feel angry?
But just when Lu Bu thought that Tao Qing was a tooth for a tooth, the news of Tao Qing's death quickly came out of Xuzhou City, and Liu Bei was even more wailing at this time, and he fainted directly because of excessive sadness. So he, the heir who paid for the appointment, also had a very good excuse, calling him sick.
Lu Bu didn't dare to speculate on whether Liu Bei had retaliated with a tooth for a tooth? Because Tao Qian directly hit him in the face with his own death. If you guess wrong this time, then Liu Bei's son is likely to be linked to him Lu Bu, because after Tao Qian's death, some of the gate lords in Xuzhou thought that Lu Bu was one of the important murderers of Tao Qian, and some people even swore that Lu Bu was very likely to have done something in Tao Qian's diet.
This made Lu Bu's place in Xuzhou instantly embarrassed, after just escaping from Cao Cao's pursuit, he could have used Tao Qian in Xuzhou to temporarily stabilize the situation, but unfortunately, his stubbornness made his local reputation fall directly into the abyss. Now Cao Cao has already been eyeing the border and preparing to cross the border and directly enter Xuzhou to attack Lü Bu, but what Lü Bu can rely on is not Xuzhou that accepts him, but his own remnants of the defeated army that have suffered many defeats.
The progress of things is so pessimistic, so that Lu Bu has to consider other countermeasures, fortunately, at this time, a force she is familiar with is approaching Xuzhou, that is, the Liangzhou soldiers led by Suning, although there are only 20 commanders, almost 10,000 troops, but as long as the commander of the army is Suning himself, Lu Bu knows that the significance of this operation must be very huge, you know, he is in the Yangzhou system, in the three years of loan service, almost never saw Suning's personal shot. Even when quelling the internal rebellion in Liangzhou, he also handed over many important battles to his subordinates.
And there weren't many battles he personally participated in. However, if this is the case, it means that it will be of strategic significance.
So he immediately led his troops to prepare to move closer to the direction of Yuzhou, because Suning's current location is probably in the east of Yuzhou, although I don't know why Suning's advance speed has been seriously affected, but Lu Bu will not hand over his fate to the slowly flowing time, which is not in line with the survival philosophy he learned from the Liangzhou system.
His change immediately attracted the attention of the Liangzhou side, but it was the Yanzhou side and the Xuzhou side that were closer to Lu Bu than Suning's move.
Liu Bei can be said to be dying and sick, and when he learned that Lu Bu had a look like Suning, he immediately sent troops to intercept him, and at the same time asked several powerful literati in Xuzhou to persuade Lu Bu. Cao Cao's actions were much more straightforward and direct, and he certainly wouldn't be bored enough to persuade Lu Bu, after all, this guy had tried to take his territory a few months ago. What he did was to lead all his soldiers and rush out of the border between Yanzhou and Xuzhou. directly killed Lu Bu's Chinese army array.
Because Cao Cao had been planning for a long time, and Liu Bei was in a hurry, when the envoys sent by Liu Bei arrived around Lu Bu's military array, Cao Cao's soldiers had already launched a fierce battle with Lu Bu's subordinates, which made these literati dare not continue to get closer, and had to enjoy the confrontation between the two armies from a distance. In other words, Cao Cao's is not like beauty, but he is really not a trouble-free guy, otherwise it would be impossible to defeat Xuzhou one after another. Even these soldiers brought by Lu Bu were not as powerful as they imagined.
You must know that Sun Jian also defeated Lu Bu near Luoyang City back then. But after all, it was a mixture between various departments, and the only one who could really beat Lu Bu one-on-one on the frontal battlefield was probably the one in the west.
But what happened next surprised them, because Cao Cao seemed to have done this, in the original history, because of Li Jin's help, Cao Cao did give Lu Bu a frontal war defeat, but this time Cao Cao did not have the help of that Li Jin, not even a little help, but he still relied on the bravery of the Qingzhou army to successfully prevent Lu Bu's continued westward advance.
And at this time, further information about Suning also came over, this Liangzhou Mu Da who made the whole world drop their jaws in the past history, was actually met with stubborn resistance from the Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army.
This Yuzhou Yellow Turban Army, in the original history, should have been cleaned up by Cao Cao this year, but Cao Cao was busy cleaning up the internal problems of Yanzhou, and did not care about watching them, so this work was handed over to Suning, who is also in the west of Jiuzhai, forgetting some situations on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and only caring about the march without neglecting the precautions for the flanks. As a result, this group of cunning Yellow Turban soldiers disguised themselves as homeless people passing through here, and then suddenly launched an attack on him, and was about to recruit the unknown soldiers of the Liangzhou system when they were caught off guard by their surprise attack, if they were not also considered to be battle-hardened, I am afraid that they would have been defeated a long time ago.
But after they stabilized their position, they were surprised to find that their opponents far outnumbered them. So they were besieged in a plain and mountain.
Fortunately, Lanzhou has always been a team that pays attention to logistics support, and they carry enough food, and even many times have aroused the covetousness of the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side, of course, with their strict formation, advanced equipment, and sharp weapons, they will not let the other party succeed, but it is not an easy thing for them to fight their way out. The first thing to consider is that after all, they are a tired army that has experienced more than ten days of marching, and if they do not take a rest and plunge into the battle, they are likely to suffer a heavy defeat. Therefore, their first choice is to camp quietly in place, and after they have eaten and eaten enough, and after they have experienced rest, they will try to choose the direction of the breakthrough.
Such a calm and calm approach obviously made Huang Lijun on the other side feel restless, after all, Suning was also a figure who had some exchanges with Zhang Jiao back then, and the Pangu Sect he founded is still the existence of the Yellow Turban Army. Out of concern about what kind of demon magic Suning might have, the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army waited for them to rest in place, and launched a large-scale attack, but the soldiers of the Liangzhou system had obviously been prepared for a long time, and on the way to attack, not only placed a large number of obstacles, but also used archers to defeat their continuous attacks many times.
The surrounding trees helped them quickly build several usable stone throwers. Although there was a lack of mountains in the area that could provide large stones, Suning still relied on the thunderbolt fireballs of the people stored in the carry-on space to make the surrounding golden mushrooms suffer a few solid losses.
After several of their attacks were repulsed, Suning's Liangzhou army finally completed the warm-up preparations, so they used a sharp breakthrough to make the surrounding Yellow Turban Army cry out for tragedy.
Because this time, they used flintlock pistols that were more advanced than crossbows.
Although the formation used is still an old-fashioned queue to shoot, this strange and fearless array makes the Huang neighbors on the opposite side feel an inexplicable fear, they know that when the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao is still alive, there has also been such a fierce and fearless force, they are like being controlled by the great sage and good teacher, they don't care about the trauma on their bodies, and even seem to have no pain, slaughtering in the enemy's camp, but they never worry about their own lives. Seeing that the companions were enthusiastic at the same time, they also deeply felt the insidiousness and viciousness of the great sage and good teacher.
If the old Red Army, which is still alive after the golden decades, of course, has its own unique views on survival, otherwise they would have been used as hot-blooded young people to catch up on the battlefield to be cannon fodder. However, the more this is the case, the more it often means that they have become veteran oilers, which is not only not conducive to the unified management of the commanders and generals, but may also produce their own independent ideas. After all, I have seen a lot of things on the battlefield, and if I want to fool around, it is not as smooth as I imagined. The Yellow Turban Army colleagues who turned the world upside down in the Jingzhou area later became a very difficult force in the Cao Wei regime.
My situation is slightly different now, because the opponent they are facing is not Cao Cao, let alone the 250 that will not be used in the Cao Wei regime after Cao Cao's death. Suning in front of him has the first combat power in the world today, and these soldiers under him also have the best equipment in the world today, as for the people around him, not to mention the ones of the year, he said that they can be compared, because these summoners of his are all top figures collected from 5000 years of Chinese and foreign history, and it is almost impossible to take advantage of them.
So when this way of lining up to shoot. I'm a veteran, and what the oilers can feel is the fear of the biggest threat you can bear, and they can't help but want to run away, even if they are fooling around, how weak the other party is, they don't want to believe it easily.
So this battle unfolded in a very tragic form, almost a one-sided massacre, showing that Suning's two systems had mastered powerful weapons enough to shock the entire era.
Of course, some of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were still not convinced, so they launched a siege more than once, but the final result was the annihilation of the entire army without exception.
When the details of these battles spread to Xuzhou, all the coal houses felt a great fear, because there was one thing in Suning's reputation that was very bad, that is, her attitude towards the family gate valve was even worse than Cao Cao's, and some people even simply thought that Cao Cao had a similar attitude purely because of Suning's influence.
