Chapter 79, the wind rises in Yangzhou

On August 13 of the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, on the ground along the Yangtze River in the southeast of the Central Plains, Yuan Shu, the third son of the fourth dynasty and the assassin of Yangzhou, took the lead in sounding the clarion call of war to pacify Yangzhou.

At present, there are almost no forces in Yangzhou that can be compared with it, and if Jiujiang is too shou Chen Wen and Danyang is too shou Zhou Xin are leveled, then this piece is all his world, as for Sun Ce, who suddenly rose, his foundation is still shallow, and he does not have much sense of threat to the current Yuan Shu, even if Yan Xiang has persuaded him many times after knowing it, he must take precautions.

Of course, although Yuan Shu is full of confidence, he is not stupid, in the specific arrangement of the expedition, he did not dare to hold up, and did not really divide the three ways of men and horses to attack as Zhang Xun said, but only divided two teams of men and horses, one team was originally ready to attack Chen Wen's army immediately after solving Zhou Xin, including infantry and cavalry, a total of no less than 30,000 people, this is also a small half of Yuan Shu's family background, and it is also the main force of this expedition, and the leader is the first general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling, Ji Ling is not only the first in force under Yuan Shu, but he is also quite a leader, and he is the right-hand man that Yuan Shu relies on very much, in addition to the long history Yang Hong, the military general Chen Lan and other accompanying troops, the general Le is the vanguard, as for the goal, it is naturally Zhou Xin, who is directly pointing at Danyang; The other team was a mixed cavalry army of no more than 5,000 men, and the target of the conquest was naturally Sun Ce, who now occupied the two lakes (Chaohu Lake and Poyang Lake), and the leader was Zhang Xun, another general under Yuan Shu.

I have to say that for Sun Ce, Yuan Shu did despise it, and he did have reason to despise it, because the main source of Sun Ce's people and horses was the rabble of water thieves, and it was not a rabble, it could be described as a rabble of rabble, of course, this was in the concept of Yuan Shu and others.

But then the facts proved that the rabble should also be divided under whom, not to mention that the ranks of the water thieves themselves are already brave, and naturally have a brave spirit, if you add a certain amount of training - although there is certainly not much military discipline, there is still enough sophisticated equipment, and sufficient logistics support, and more importantly, the person who is their leader, this qiē factor is taken together, and the combat effectiveness that breaks out will not be inferior to that of the regular army of the same number, You may even have to take the initiative on the scene.

And if the enemy they are facing is still a brave and unscrupulous person like Zhang Xun, it would be even better, so the result is obvious, when Yuan Shu was still paying attention to the duel between Ji Ling and Zhou Xin, he first received news from Lujiang that surprised him.

It turned out that Zhang Xun had been leading the army south since he got Yuan Shu's order, and he set out from Shouchun to lead the army south, and he was very ostentatious along the way, and he didn't mean to hide his whereabouts at all, but it didn't matter, when they passed through Shu County, Lujiang County, there were already three consecutive waves of scouts who had not returned, but Zhang Xun's spirit was generally not realized here, so that the troops could rest on the spot, perhaps in his opinion, the so-called Lujiang Three Tigers and Jiangdong Xiaobawang were just vain people, although he seemed very serious when he said to Yuan Shu, But in his heart, he was very contemptuous, and when he got outside, he all came out, and of course he paid the price.

On the night when Zhang Xun ordered to rest on the spot, the temporary camp tent set on fire on the spot, and when the soldiers who slept groggily woke up from their worries, they were almost all in the sea of fire, Zhang Xun had a little bravery, and he was not stupid to go home, and he knew that he quickly sent someone to gather all his subordinates and prepare to assemble and retreat, but it was too late at this time, the little overlord Sun Ce seemed to fall from the sky, leading more than a thousand of his subordinates to rush back and forth to kill, where could Yuan Shujun, who was already panicked by the fire, be able to withstand such a toss, In just two rounds, Sun Ce solved this completely unsuspenseful battle, five thousand Yuan Shujun finally died in the sea of fire, nearly 100 people died in the sea of fire, and hundreds of people escaped while the chaos was scattered, and then when Sun Ce led the army to rush to kill, they were either trampled on each other and died, or they were directly slaughtered, and there were two or three hundred people, and finally more than 3,000 people were directly taken prisoner, and those who returned to Yuan Shu were not only the news of the defeat, but also the head of the general Zhang Xun, and his wide eyes seemed to show his unwillingness. …,

But obviously Yuan Shu has more reason to be unwilling and angry, but this is not enough, at the same time, another bad news came, in Yuan Shu's defense of Hefei, the Jiujiang thief who had been pursued by him for a long time, played Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, two guys that Yuan Shu hated to the bone, and it was just a blatant appearance, and he even dared to directly provoke the Hefei guards.

The Hefei guard is Yuan Yin, the nephew of Yuan Shu, and he is a little talented, but after all, he is young and strong, especially his uncle, who constantly insults the position in his heart in the mouth of Zhou Tai, and his uncle is still wanted for these two people, and Yuan Yin is even more after seeing that the two of them don't seem to have many people, he is conceited that Hefei 10,000 heavy soldiers are guarded, and he is not afraid of the other party at all, so he opened the city to meet the enemy, and after chasing for several miles, his feverish mind calmed down a little, and he finally realized that something was wrong, that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin only retreated while scoldingThere was little resistance and no further provocation, but when he wanted to lead the army back, he found that he had been led into a valley trap and was directly captured.

After Hefei City, Zhou Tai used Yuan Yin's soldiers to take it down, but after Zhou Tai took Hefei City, the first thing he did was to open the Hefei granary and distribute it to the local people, and then he abandoned the city directly, of course, Yuan Yin was also kidnapped by them, and when Liu Xun led the army nearby, where could he still see their shadows.

When Yuan Shu heard the messenger's report, he was so angry that he directly flipped the table, and his subordinate military generals, not to mention, were directly scolded by him.

But what can they do, this Jiujiang thief is originally elusive, and his deeds have always wandered in Yingshui and Huai River, and it was because of this before, so although he was very angry with them, but Yuan Shu couldn't do anything about them, although he had a lot of sailors under his hands, and his strength was strong, but against the creatures of water thieves, many times the strength gap was really floating clouds, and they were often best at playing strong with weakness, just fighting guerrillas, and not confronting you head-on at all, and they could only look at the ocean and sigh in the powerful navy.

This time, he left with one shot, and even the broken Hefei City had no intention of asking for it, and the traces disappeared again, and his nephews were all taken away, which also made Yuan Shu even more annoyed.

"A bunch of rice buckets!" This is his evaluation of a group of subordinates, and every time at this time, Yan Xiang, who can always have some good construction, was annoyed by him because he had just aroused his anger the day before yesterday, and he was directly assigned to Chengde, and the following group of civil and military generals were just submissive, how dare they say more than half a word in front of him.

Yuan Shu took a deep breath and was about to continue to speak, but he received another battle report, which was brought by Li Feng, the chief bookkeeper with a solemn face.

She opened it and took a look, and after a while, she saw that the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his temples seemed to bulge out, and his whole face turned completely black, only to see a line of words written on it: Danyang was defeated, and Xianfeng Le died under the hands of Tai Shici, one of the three tigers of Lujiang......

Yuan Shu was really angry this time, and he got up and roared loudly: "Bastard, the whole army is assembled, I want to pacify Yangzhou within half a month, and see Chen Wen, Zhou Xin and Sun Ce'er's heads!" ”
