Chapter 359: The Battle of Guandu (Part II)

After Xiahou Yuan withdrew, Ren Chengguo had almost no soldiers capable of fighting, and Xu Huang led the army commander to drive straight in, and quickly swept away Ren Chengguo's resistance forces.

According to Jiang Sheng's strategic deployment, local officials were immediately stationed in each place to carry out post-war reconstruction and administrative jurisdiction, and the young and promising grassroots officials in Qingzhou had already set off, and a few days after Xu Huang took office in the city, the local officials in each county were also in place. The counties in the rear of Qingzhou were taken over by young officials trained by military academies.

Li Dian's defeat and retreat disrupted the entire layout, Cao Hong received the news relatively late, and when he quickly retreated, he was told that Puyang had fallen!

Cao Hong was shocked and hurriedly asked the reason, and the messenger told him what had happened.

It turned out that Yin Chengong of Henan Province led the local army to take advantage of the weakness and took this big city in only one day and one night.

After Chen Gong surrendered to Jiang Sheng, he was Henan Yin, and after several years, there was no promotion, Chen Gong was also depressed, Zhang Miao was at least promoted by one level, and it was because he had no merit.

Zhang Miao Shou Le'an County, that is Jiang Sheng's industrial origin, a large number of craftsmen are from Le'an, Zhang Miao to Jiang Sheng's favor, comprehensively improve the status of craftsmen, Jiang Sheng is very satisfied, on the mention of Zhang Miao from the second grade of the Taishou, and Chen Gong's Henan Yin is only from the third grade.

This time to attack Dongjun, Chen Gong saw the opportunity, made a splash, and took down the largest city in Yanzhou. Jiang Sheng has to say something.

And Cao Hong regretted that he was not at the beginning, he was too light on the enemy, thinking that the east-west attack would definitely defeat Jiang Sheng.

It was too late to say anything now, so Cao Hong had no choice but to give up fighting against Jiang Sheng and retreat to the area of Chenliu and Shanyang.

After Li Dian fled back to Chenliu in a hurry, he told Cao Cao about the crisis situation in Dongjun, and Cao Cao vomited a mouthful of blood angrily.

Cheng Yu admonished: "In this way, General Cao Hong may face extreme danger, and he also asked the lord to send troops to rescue." ”

Everyone also persuaded one after another: "The safe withdrawal of Cao Hongjun's army is a victory." ”

Cao Cao then ordered Le Jin and Xiahou to lead 20,000 light cavalry to respond, and ordered the armies to bluff to avoid being seen by Zhang Liao and taking advantage of the weakness.

Le Jin and Xiahoudun each went to one side to answer Cao Hong's retreat to the south.

When Xiahoudun traveled to a place one hundred and twenty miles southwest of Puyang, he was ambushed, and arrows were scattered everywhere, and the light cavalry only wore light armor, and it was difficult to escape the doom in the face of the arrows shot by the three-stone hard bow.

Judging from the banner, it is clear that it is Zhang Liao's troops, and Xiahoudun understands why Zhang Liao's battalion has been standing still, it turns out that the Guandu battalion is simply disguised, and his target is Dongjun, which is ambushed here to send reinforcements.

Xiahoudun quickly retreated, Zhang Liao led the army to rush out, and Xiahoudun saw that the main lord appeared here, and he was even more firm in his judgment.

Zhang Liao saw Xiahoudun fleeing on horseback, so he opened his bow and arrows, and the three beads were fired together, Xiahoudun hurriedly avoided and dodged two arrows, and the third arrow went straight to Xiahoudun's face door, right in the left eye.

Xiahoudun snorted, his left eye was already blind, a good tough guy Xiahoudun pulled out the arrow and shouted: "Parents who suffer from the body, don't dare to give up!" ”

After that, he opened his mouth to eat the eyeballs on the arrow, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and led the remnants of the defeated army to flee in a hurry.

Zhang Liao sighed: "Xiahoudun is really a good man, don't chase it!" ”

Lejin met Cao Hong, who was retreating south, and covered each other to retreat to Shanyang County to join forces with Xiahou Yuan's army.

After Xiahoudun withdrew in embarrassment, Cao Cao was taken aback, and after hearing the news of Zhang Liao's presence in Dongjun, he shouted "fooled", and urgently ordered Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Man Chong to wave their troops across the river.

Mao Jue hurriedly stopped: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, there is no benefit in attacking Guandu at this time!" ”

Cao Cao said unhappily: "Guandu is empty, our army can win with one blow, and then attack Hanoi, why not?" ”

"The lord doesn't know anything, Guandu has no danger to defend, our army is gone, it is bound to send heavy troops to defend, if Jiang Sheng kills it, we will not be able to advance or retreat, and there is a danger of annihilation of the whole army."

"So what do you say? Do you want Zhang Liao to go back to defense? ”

"This year, there are many natural disasters across the country, Jiang Sheng's army is coming, and the supply consumption is very huge, Zhang Liao has put up grain and grass, so he dares to confront our army. And our army lacks food and grass and does not dare to consume it for a long time, so we must fight a battle and solve it quickly. So far, there's only one plan that works! ”

"Hurry up!"

"Zhang Liao's grain and grass are in Wuchao, which can be used by 100,000 troops in March, if the Wuchao grain and grass are robbed, it can not only solve the urgency of our army, but also force Zhang Liao to withdraw his army, and we can breathe."

Cheng Yu said: "It takes manpower to rob grain and grass, and it takes time to transport it, once Zhang Liao comes to the rescue, our army will be defeated." It is better to burn it down and force Zhang Liao to withdraw his troops. ”

Strategist Wei Chong answered: "Jiang Sheng's people are sleepy and lacking, according to Jiang Sheng's usual practice, he will never attack Chenliu with a strong crossbow, so after Zhang Liao withdraws his army, we will have enough time to maneuver, and the harvest of our Tuntian will come soon, so we will not be afraid at that time!" ”

Cao Cao thought about it, but he still didn't dare to despise it in his heart, so he let Cao Chun lead the tiger and leopard to stay behind, and led Cao Ren and Li Dian with fire, ran lightly, and went straight to the black nest.

Chen Gong took Puyang, and Cao's army fully withdrew, and Jiang Sheng went to Puyang so smoothly.

Chen Gong went out of the city to greet Jiang Sheng with joy, Jiang Sheng finally did not disappoint Chen Gong, and appointed Chen Gong as the Taishou of Dongjun on the spot.

Sure enough, as Wei Chong expected, after Jiang Sheng entered Puyang, he ordered the various armies to disperse and camp to rest, and it is unknown when he will fight.

On the Southern Front, Yan Baihu and Wang Lang publicly denounced Sun Ce, and sent troops to attack the counties and districts controlled by Sun Ce, Sun Ce, who was fighting with Yuan Shu in Danyang County, had to change his strategy and appointed Cheng Pu as the governor, fully responsible for the operation in Danyang, and moved south with Zhou Yu to quell the chaos.

Yan Baihu was born in the green forest, brave and unscrupulous, governed the territory completely by force, and incorporated a lot of bandits, which can be described as a harm to Jiangdong, Huang Gai and Dong Xi each led an army of 50,000 to fight, Yan Baihu died in battle, Yan Xing was repeatedly defeated after taking over, and in less than half a month, he was destroyed by Sun Ce.

Without Yan Baihu, Wang Lang was not Sun Ce's opponent at all, and sure enough, he lost five battles and five defeats.

Sun Ce sent Gu Yong to persuade him to surrender, Wang Lang surrendered, and the Jiangdong Rebellion was quelled.

On Liu Biao's side, Cai Mao did not dare to underestimate the enemy after a few defeats, and it was a small achievement to concentrate superior forces to fight steadily, and Yuan Shu's strength was comprehensively compressed, and it was only a matter of time before he perished.

Besides, Cao Cao led the army day and night, quietly approaching the black nest, and the grain and grass warehouse could not be seen at a glance.

The soldiers of the Cao army are all with green eyes, where have they seen so many granaries in the past half a year, it is a pity that they burned down like this! But the military order is like a mountain, although everyone is unwilling, but they have no choice but to carry it out.

"Who—ah!" When the sentry of the Black Nest noticed a large number of soldiers and horses approaching, he shouted loudly, but an arrow pierced his throat!
