Chapter 327: Cao and Sun fight, and Sun Jian is defeated
"In this way, on the Huainan side, Cao Sun is fighting, or does it end in Cao Cao's victory?" After listening to Qiu Lin's report, Liu Yuan said lightly.
"Yes!" Qiu Linju replied affirmatively: "Cao Cao didn't know what means he used, he subdued Zhang Xun and united with Huang Zu. Zhang and Huang suddenly attacked Cheng Pu in Lujiang. The Lujiang Wu army was almost wiped out, and Sun Jianai killed Cheng Pu by Huang Zu! ”
"Cheng Pu is Sun Jian's confidant general, he has been fighting for many years, and he died in battle, I'm afraid that Sun Jian is very angry!" Liu Yuan had a smile on his face, full of schadenfreude.
Qiu Linjue's expression was relaxed: "I heard that when Sun Jian first heard that Cheng Pu was killed in battle, he was so angry that he vomited blood. When he withdrew south to Liyang, in the face of several enemy troops, Ling Cao, the general who responded to him, was also killed, and Wu general Zhou Tai was seriously injured! King, in the battle of Huainan, the Wu army is a lost soldier! ”
Nearly three months ago, Shouchun City was broken and Yuan Shu was captured. After the Yuan army in the city was cleared, Cao Sun, who was originally an allied army, immediately entered a new role. The palace was broken, and it was supposed to be the time to divide the fruits of victory, but the Wu army broke into the palace, and the Wei army had already occupied most of the palace and looted a large amount of wealth accumulated by Yuan Shu.
Cao Yuan's appointment, the soldiers on both sides knew that Zhou Tai felt that his army was the first to break through the city, and this was to collect the spoils that belonged to them. The leader is Lejin, Wu Jun wants them to spit out what is in their pockets again, how is it possible.
Moreover, in Le Jin's opinion, it was obviously his Wei army that broke the city first. Disputes happen in an instant, and if you can't understand words, then simply use grabbing. Seeing that the Wei army was unhappy for a long time, Zhou Tai took the lead in attacking, and the dispute between the two sides directly evolved into a sword fight.
As soon as Zhou and Le Er fought here, they ignited sparks between the two armies of Wu and Wei, which were already full of gunpowder, causing a major war between the two sides. Around Yuan Shu Palace, first the second generals were under the command of the second general, and then more generals from both sides continued to support and join the battle group.
Especially Sun Jun, when he heard about the palace affairs, he identified the direction and came north to support. The soldiers of the two sides fought equally, and the bloody battle revolved around the Shouchun Palace. The generals of the two sides, at the beginning, still had a lot of strength to hold on and restrain the battle. But after killing the red eye, they all let go of the fight, and the casualties were greater.
It didn't take long for the chaos in Shouchun City, the newly broken city was already restless, and the remnants of Yuan's army had not yet been cleaned up. In addition to Cao and Sun's two sides, Yuan's army was defeated, plus a few young people, who took the opportunity to make trouble. Those who are suffering are naturally the people in the city, thieves on all sides, and they can't escape if they want to, so they can only hide at home and wait for disaster to fall from the sky.
In the end, under the strong control of Cao Cao and Sun Jian, the two sides slowly broke away from the war, but the blood of both sides was beaten out, and it was a foregone conclusion that the alliance would become enemies.
The situation in Shouchun soon evolved into a confrontation between the two armies of Cao and Sun, each based on the north and the south. At this time, Sun Jian didn't bother to mention the agreement with Cao Cao or anything, and when it came to this point, it depended on whose fists were hard. The temporary suspension of the fighting of the soldiers and horses was only because of the fierce fighting for a few days, the soldiers were tired, and in order to rest and recuperate, they fought again.
For Zhou Tai, who set off a fierce battle between the two sides, Sun Jian did not punish him, but praised him. Not much different from Sun Jian's thoughts, Cao Cao warned the generals early that after defeating Yuan Shu, they should beware of the Wu army. The top and bottom are also doing this, and it is natural for Lejin to be so tough in the face of Zhou Tai.
The two armies of Wei and Wu fought directly in Shouchun, and fought fiercely in the city, both wanting to expel the other party from the city. Compared with the military strength of the two sides, there is not much difference, in terms of commanders, generals, and advisers, they are all generally up and down.
The only one who is slightly down, the Jiangzuo soldiers have some "congenital" disadvantages on land compared to the Central Plains soldiers. However, the army under Sun Jian's command was all his carefully trained elite, and when they competed with the Wei army, they were not lagging behind overall.
Entangled in recent months, Hefei in the rear highlighted its strategic value, stuck the Wu army's grain road, Shi Lian continued to go north, attacking the back road of the Wu army. It is already winter, and although Huainan is not as severe and cold as in the north, the weather has also cooled.
In the case of a restless back, the Wu army and the Wei army competed, and they always lacked confidence. Huan Jie's suggestion to withdraw the army was vetoed by Sun Jian. At this time, he can occupy the domain of Shouchun, and this retreat, whether he can come to this city again in the future, is a question.
After all, Cao Cao is not as good as Yuan Shu, and Shouchun under the control of Cao Jun is not so easy to break through. Sun Jian knew this very well, and even if he insisted on going his own way, he forcibly suppressed the voice of the withdrawal and competed with Wei.
However, the back road must be guarded, Sun Jian led his army to fight fiercely in the north, and ordered Sun Jing and Ling Cao in the south to lead the army north to attack Hefei, suppressing the increasingly rampant Shi Lian.
The two sides fought fiercely, Cao Cao's patience was very sufficient, Yanzhou's Tuntian, the initial results, the autumn harvest, a lot of storage, has been Cao Cao deeply constrained supply problems, finally alleviated.
Although he basically has the upper hand, Cao Cao's pressure is also not small, and he has paid enough attention to Sun Jian, but Fang Jue still underestimates him when it comes to confrontation. The geographical advantage of raw materials is enough to force Sun Jian back, but he never thought that Sun Jian's will to fight was so resolute, even if the road behind was sick, he still did not back down.
Cao Cao was actually not very willing to fight with Sun Jian in Huainan, after all, Hu Xia in the west and Yuan Shao in the north had calmed down, and with these two forces, he had already had the intention of retreating north.
But this Huainan must not be given to Sun Jian, Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains, which is a place of four stations, and both sides are under pressure to deal with the increasingly powerful Liu Yuan and Yuan Shao, if Sun Jian, the tiger, is more than a springboard to the north, then he Cao Cao will no longer think that one day will be peaceful. Moreover, the anointed land of Huainan is really a treasure land, how can it be discarded.
The turning point started from the change in the situation in Lujiang, Cao Cao wanted to return to the north, and he didn't want to spend time with Sun Jian in Shouchun anymore, and the way to break the situation started from Lujiang.
Zhang Xun of Shu County, who had the intention of surrendering, waited for Yuan Shu to be captured, and immediately surrendered under the recruitment of Cao Cao. At the same time, the liaison with Huang Zu was carried out.
was invited by Wei to attack Sun Jian, and without much thought, Huang Zu agreed. In the past, Sun Jian entered Jingzhou in the west, although he was blocked by Jiangxia, but he Huang Zu was bullied a lot, and he had this opportunity for revenge, how could he not agree.
Compared with Cao Cao, Sun Jian is more of a threat to Jingzhou with his aggressiveness, and he is close at hand. can suppress Sun Wu and is willing to do it. Moreover, Cao Cao promised to defeat Sun Jian, and the west and south of Shu County in Lujiang County would be returned to Jingzhou, which was profitable.
Zhang Xun and Huang Zu attacked Cheng Pu with several times the crowd, how could Cheng Pu be blocked. Later, Zhang and Huang led the army to the north and attacked the back of the Wu army.
At this time, even if he was unwilling, Sun Jian did not dare to stay for a long time. resolutely retreated south, but under the great change of the situation, it was not so easy to leave. Attacked by the Wei army all the way, he suffered heavy losses.
"Sun Jian lost his northward march and suffered such a big loss, with his temperament, how could he rest? What's going on today? After combing through the Huainan war in his mind, Liu Yuan asked curiously.
"It was reported that after Sun Jian returned to Liyang after his defeat, he stayed in Han as a guard and returned to Wu County. However, he has sent soldiers again, preparing to march west to recapture Lujiang, attack Huangzu, and avenge Cheng Pu! ”
"It's so good, I'm afraid that the land south of the Yangtze River will be difficult to be peaceful. There is something in the south, how can Cao Cao not be distracted! ”
