Chapter 326: Yanzhou was lost, and Guan Yu pursued and killed Chun Yuqiong
Besieging the city to send reinforcements, flowering more, this is the strategy set by Su Chen for Yuan Shao, just when Xu Huang sent troops to attack Jizhou, Ju Yi, the governor of Xuzhou, was also reorganizing his army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Ju Yi sent 80,000 troops, with Li Dian as the front army and Yu Ban as the rear army, and went north to attack Shanyang County.
Zang Ba, the deputy governor of Qingzhou, with 50,000 soldiers, sent troops from Langya to attack Taishan County.
Zhang Fei, the general of Zhennan, was stationed in Chen Guo and Liang State, and because of the strength of the army, he sent 30,000 troops to attack Dingtao.
Hanoi Guan Yu, with Hao Zhao as the vanguard, led 30,000 troops to attack Chenliu County, and Guo Huaiwai vanguard, commanded 30,000 troops, attacked Yingchuan County.
Sun Ce, the governor of Yangzhou, with Xu Sheng as the vanguard, attacked Runan with 30,000 soldiers, and transferred the deputy governor Lu Dai to garrison Yuzhang County to prevent Liu Pan of Changsha from taking the opportunity to attack Yuzhang, and at the same time Sun Ce personally led 50,000 troops to attack Ji Ling in Nanyang.
As for Zhou Yu, the governor of the navy, he still garrisoned Chaisang, paying attention to Jiangxia's movements at any time, and Sun Ce's troops were not to a large extent to attack the city, but to take the opportunity to drag Yuan Shu's army and prevent Yuan Shu from rushing to the aid of Yuan Shao.
These armies, Ju Yi, Zang Ba, Zhang Fei and Hao Zhao are clearly attacking Yanzhou from all directions.
As for Guo Huai's attack on Yingchuan, this road is also very important, this is Su Chen's army to cut off Yuan Shao's retreat, although there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, but Yingchuan is not garrisoned, unless Yuan Shao sends people to help, otherwise Yingchuan will fall into the hands of Guo Huai sooner or later.
In fact, if Yuan Shao sent troops, this would be in the hands of Su Chen, Su Chen brought Zhang Liao's 50,000 Han shadow light cavalry to Luoyang this time, which was an army requisitioned from the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, and Xu Chu Zhu Lingle Jin commanded the 150,000 infantry under the jurisdiction of the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, totaling 200,000.
Later, in the first battle of Tiger Pass, Xu Rong's 100,000 Luoyang army and tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry were surrendered, that is to say, the siege of Luoyang is now 250,000 infantry, more than 100,000 cavalry, the strong mobility of the cavalry can be imagined, if Yuan Shao dares to go out of the city and fight with him, he is confident that he will eat all the troops sent by Yuan Shao.
Look at Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses left behind in Luoyang, Yuan Shao attacked Luoyang and brought 300,000 troops, most of which were infantry, only 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry, and surrendered 30,000 Xiliang troops, Yuan Shao only had 330,000 troops when he was full, and the number was similar to Su Chen, but the combat effectiveness could not be said to be true, especially Yuan Shao did not have a strong cavalry, which was Yuan Shao's fatal weakness.
The reason why Cao Cao was defeated so quickly was that in addition to him and Yuan Shao joining forces, to a large extent, Yanzhou was unsafe to defend, and in the face of the powerful mobility of the cavalry, Yanzhou was like an undefended widow.
The assassin of Yanzhou appointed by Yuan Shao is Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin has long been a defeated general under Sun Ce, how can he be the opponent of the four-way army, even if he wants to defend it, just rely on the advantages of the city, and defend it city by city, how long can he hold on?
Therefore, the occupation of Yanzhou is faster than Su Chen imagined, on the one hand, it is true that Yanzhou has no geographical advantages, on the other hand, Yuan Shao was not able to effectively digest the fruits of victory after the occupation of Yanzhou, and the county orders in many places in Yanzhou are still officials in the Cao Cao period, for them, it is just a change of master, so as soon as the army arrived, many places directly sent the account books and household registration, and opened the door to surrender.
Zhou Xin lost Yanzhou again, went to see Yuan Shao without shame, and finally killed himself, and the four-way army met in Chenliu, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Su Chen personally rushed to Chen Liu to celebrate the generals, and immediately decided to set up the Yanzhou Governor's Mansion, with Zang Ba as the Governor of Yanzhou, Hao Zhao and Zhou Cang as the deputy governors, and Zhou Cang was really the main general sent by Zhang Fei to attack Dingtao.
As for the history of Yangzhou Thorn, this person Su Chen also considered, speaking of which, this person was recommended to him by Zhou Yu, and this person was Lu Su.
When Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su at the beginning, Su Chen did not immediately reuse him, but put him in Guangling, served as the commander of Guangling County, and compared him well, and found that Lu Su was indeed a loyal person, so he decided to use Lu Su as the assassin of Yangzhou.
Just after Su Chen congratulated the generals of Yanzhou, the news of Gao Gan's death soon reached him.
"Good!" Su Chen took this secret letter and was happy for a while, and then handed the secret letter to Guo Jia and the others, "Fengxiao, you can also take a look, this is the information from Gongming, Gao Gan died in battle, 200,000 Wei troops were wiped out, Yuan Shao has now become a lonely man, and the more than 300,000 troops in Luoyang City have lost the grain and grass support of Yanzhou and Jizhou. ”
In fact, Yuan Shao's grain route from Jizhou had long been cut off, and his grain and grass mainly came from Yanzhou and was transported to Luoyang through Yingchuan, which is why Su Chen asked Guan Yu to send troops to attack Yingchuan.
"This is good news, I didn't expect us and Yuan Shao to be separated so soon, after this battle, the lord is the biggest overlord in the world, and the great cause is just around the corner."
"yes!" Su Chen was also very excited, "By the way, is there any news from Guo Huai?" ”
Speaking of this, Guo Jia restrained his emotions and said: "Just as I was about to report to the lord that General Guo Huai led his troops to attack the Yingchuan grain road, Yuan Shao really couldn't sit still, and sent cavalry to encircle and suppress, Guo Huai's men were all infantry, not Yuan Shao's opponent, and now they have retreated to Changshe." ”
"Chosha?" Su Chen thought for a while and said: "I'm not afraid that Yuan Shao won't send reinforcements, since Yuan Shao sent reinforcements to maintain the grain road, it means that there is not much food in Luoyang City, and this king is going to force Yuan Shao to fight a decisive battle with this king, so you let Guan Yu personally lead Yunying to aid Guo Huai, and you must cut off the grain road in Yingchuan." ”
"No!"
Soon, Guan Yu led 30,000 elite cloud shadow light cavalry to Yingchuan, these 30,000 cloud shadow light cavalry is Su Chen's old army, experienced in a hundred battles, in Guan Yu's hands has been forged into a sharp sword, you must know that this cloud shadow light cavalry once beat the Xianbei cavalry to hug the head of the rat string, how Yuan Shao's cavalry is the opponent of Yun Ying.
After Guan Yu arrived at Changshe, he once again ordered Guo Huai to send troops to cut off Yuan Shao's grain route, and at the same time ambushed the army in Yangzhai, waiting for reinforcements sent by Yuan Shao at any time.
Yuan Shao really sent reinforcements, this person is not someone else, but Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong, Chun Yuqiong is a veteran, once the eighth captain of the West Garden during the period of Emperor Ling, Chun Yuqiong led the newly attached 30,000 Xiliang army, but unfortunately, the Xiliang Iron who was originally like a wolf and a tiger rode into Chun Yuqiong's hands and became a wine bag and rice bag.
Guan Yu sent scouts to pay attention to Luoyang's reinforcements at any time, and when he learned that it was the Xiliang Army commanded by Chun Yuqiong, Guan Yu didn't pay attention to it at all: "Chun Yuqiong's wine bag and rice bag, if he hadn't run fast in the past, he would have died in the hands of Ben Hou a long time ago, or not, this time he will have no return." ”
Guo Huai knew that Chun Yuqiong's reputation was very great, and when he saw Guan Yu despising the enemy army so much, he couldn't help but persuade with some worry: "Don't underestimate Chun Yuqiong, this person has some strategy, and his martial arts are also extraordinary, and the last general has fought with him before, and frankly speaking, the last general's martial arts are not his opponent for the time being." ”
"Hahahaha, Boji, it is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, why are you so afraid of this wine bag and rice bag after you lose once, okay, today Benhou will let you see, your so-called opponent is nothing more than that."
"This ......" Guo Huai wanted to say more, but Guan Yu waved his hand to stop, but the guards beside him asked, "How far is Chun Yuqiong from here?" ”
"Return to the military marquis, less than thirty miles!"
"Okay, the generals will listen to the order, follow me to ambush outside the city, and wait for work, today Ben Hou will cut off Chun Yuqiong's head and drink!"
"The prince is mighty!"
Guan Yu is very proud, he has always been like this, but he is proud of the capital, these years he has been above 10,000 people under one person in the state, and he has not tasted a defeat in the state, and he has tens of thousands of military power in his hands, and his position is high and powerful, and over time, it also makes his arrogant temper bigger and bigger.
It's just a Chun Yuqiong, it's not worth Guan Yu to put away his temper, Chun Yuqiong really came quickly, just when he led the troops through a canyon, big stones suddenly fell on both sides of the canyon, killing and injuring countless soldiers.
Finally ran out of the canyon, and was confronted with the menacing Guan Yu, outside the canyon is a plain, it is a natural cavalry battlefield, Guan Yu inspected several times, and then decided to ambush Chun Yuqiong here.
"Chun Yuqiong, Benhou let you have no return today!"
"What? Is it Guan Yu? "It's no wonder that Chun Yuqiong was frightened as soon as he saw Guan Yu's banner, it was really Guan Yu who left too much shadow in his heart, thinking that when the two fought by the Yellow River, Guan Yu almost killed him, and since then, he is a little scared as long as he hears Guan Yu's name.
Guan Yu has broken through the Shenzhao Realm, this is the recent thing, in the face of such a Guan Yu, it is no wonder that Chun Yuqiong is so frightened that his soul is not possessed.
"Soldiers, kill the enemy with Benhou, kill!"
"Kill!"
Chun Yuqiong saw Guan Yu turn around and run, which made the Xiliang army miserable, these soldiers followed Chun Yuqiong's banner and ran all over the mountains, Guan Yu took Yunying to chase after him, it was like a farce, I really had never seen such a war.
The reason why Guan Yu is like this is also red-eyed, he is not red by others, it is Zhao Yun, Guan Yu is the first batch of veterans who took refuge in Su Chen, he has worked hard in Bingzhou over the years, although he is not famous in front of the princes of the world, but Guan Yu's ability is leveraged.
At this time, a Ma Chao first appeared, and he directly abolished Wen Chou and became famous all over the world, and then Zhao Yun came, killing Gao Gan among the ten thousand armies and becoming famous all over the world, Guan Yu had to admit that he became famous too late, so at this moment, Chun Yuqiong in his eyes is fame, military merit, and honor.
"Where is Chun Yuqiong running, take Ben Hou a knife!" Guan Yu's crotch is a special war horse, second only to the existence of the red rabbit horse, Chun Yuqiong's horse is slow, and he was quickly caught up by Guan Yu.
"What?" When he looked back, he saw a big knife falling from the sky, and he was so frightened that Chun Yuqiong almost fell off his horse.
