Chapter 366: A Battle of Fate
Liu Bei and Sun Ce have a very clear purpose, that is, to take Jingzhou, only after taking Jingzhou, they have the strength to fight with Cao Cao a wave of head-on, otherwise, there is only a dead end, Sun and Liu joined forces, the strength is naturally extraordinary, for a time Liu Biao, who was originally strong, began to show the appearance of defeat and retreat, Liu Biao was stunned, did not expect such a result, and immediately sent people to Yanzhou to ask Cao Cao for help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the second year of Xingping, it also happened that Ganning was in Yanzhou, at the moment, Cao Cao did not hesitate to send Gan Ning to Jingzhou, after arriving in Jingzhou, Gan Ning was such a smart person, how to choose his own shortcomings and the enemy's strengths, immediately Gan Ning used his most familiar water warfare, and kept circling with Sun Ce and others, from the second year of Xingping to the third year of Jian'an, under the powerful attack, Gan Ning tightly held the land of Xiangyang, so that Sun Ce and Liu Bei could not go further.
In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao had already freed his hands!
In the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao asked Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan and others to lead a large army from Yuzhou and Xuzhou.
Three years of Jian'an, winter! Cao Cao officially set off a big war, and this battle can be said to be about to determine the pattern of the world!
The external troubles have long been eliminated, those barbarians in the north of the Saibei have been taught by Bing Yuan and others over the years, and there is no Cao Cao in the external troubles, which is equivalent to the safety of the back garden is guaranteed, and naturally you can use troops in front without worry, and do not worry about any accidents.
In Fenggao County, in the courtyard of Chen's house.
Chen Xiu sat in the pavilion, thinking about it carefully, now he is going to be over thirty years old, and he really has no time to forgive, but the current day is exactly the day he wants, kneeling with joy, teasing his five-year-old son, holding his two-year-old daughter in his arms, a man and a woman, Chen Xiu is quite satisfied.
"Husband, Cao Gong's soldiers are sent to the south, isn't Husband worried?"
"Madam, this is testing me as a husband, even if the Sun-Liu Alliance, there will be a gap after all, this gap is left by the fight between the Sun and Liu families back then, although in the early stage, there will be no accidents, but after a long time, this problem will naturally arise, even Sun Ce and Liu Bei can't stop it. In addition, the Xingba people are in Jingzhou, and the rear is not cleaned, which is a big taboo, and this is a dead end! ”
"In comparison, Cao Gong's rear is worry-free, and the generals have basically withdrawn from Saibei, plus the wind and rain have been smooth in recent years, in terms of food supply, there is no need to worry, but Sun Ce is different from Liu Bei, they still need to worry about food supply, in the past few years, Liu and Sun have been busy cleaning up Jingzhou, and the loss of grain is extremely drastic, for a while, these two families have not yet reacted, as for Mrs., if you want to cut off from the business route, this must not be, once this precedent is opened, the initial efforts will be completely in vain, As for being able to rely on the caravan to prevent Liu Bei from going to Yizhou, this nature is completely different, one is that Liu Bei's price is too low, and the other is that Jingzhou has already been blocked, based on these two conditions, these mercenary businessmen will agree, otherwise what do you think, madam?
Sometimes a penny can make people crazy, not to mention a lot of war money, war is often accompanied by huge interests, huge benefits, enough to make them take risks, it is not easy to hold these people in their hands, why do these thankless things, besides, this time, not only let them sell food, but also sell it wantonly! In this case, the price of grain will definitely rise, and who will pay in the end, wouldn't it be the Sun and Liu families who will pay, and who will benefit? Does this Mrs. still use as a husband? ”
Chen Xiu smiled and continued to tease the daughter in his arms, as for the son who was already playing by himself on the snow, there was a maid taking care of him, so he didn't have to worry too much.
"That's what the husband said."
Mi Zhen smiled, hugged her two-year-old daughter from Chen Xiu's arms, and looked at Chen Xiu with a smile.
"You, but you know how to be a husband, war is to fight people, to fight is food, soldiers and horses do not move grain and grass first, not only the war of attrition of the soldiers, but also the war of attrition of the big grain, whoever has no food first, who will be defeated, the morale of the soldiers is low, soft and without any strength, naturally there is only one way to lose, but what the businessmen value is money, as long as they have money, they will naturally sell food, but there is no money, as for the result, Mrs. should guess, so this war is a war of attrition!"
On the battlefield of Yangzhou Jingzhou, Xiahou Yuan and the others looked pale, the strength of the other party was a little beyond their expectations, and the other party's generals seemed to be a little fierce, resulting in a few of them being their opponents.
"Yuan Rang, let me come to this battle, I will bring three thousand iron cavalry, and Liu Bei's troops, you lead five thousand infantry to keep up, once there is a victory, immediately lead five thousand infantry to attack the city, if not, then cover my retreat, blockade them, see who consumes whom!"
Cao Cao is now strong and strong, and there is no problem with the supply of grain and grass at all, but when he really fights this kind of helpless war, Xiahou Yuan is a little unwilling in his heart, not only him, but also Xiahou Huang Xu Huang and others, who are really unwilling to fight the last one.
"Good! I'll listen to you once as a brother! ”
Seeing the fierce battle intent in Xiahou Yuan's eyes, Xiahou Yuan laughed out loud, and then ordered to go down.
Jia Xu on the side sat and watched, without saying a word, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
"Don't you think it's appropriate, sir?"
After making a decision, Xiahou Yuan saw that Jia Xu didn't say a word, and stepped forward to ask, Jia Xu's ability, Xiahou Yuan and the others knew it in their hearts.
"None! That's the best! General Xiahou, you arranged it very appropriately, but there is one point, Jia Mou wants to say something. ”
"Sir, please."
Hearing this, Xiahou Yuan's face was solemn, and the whole person stood up straight and straight, Jia Xu saw this and praised it, regardless of Xiahou Yuan's ability, just looking at Xiahou Yuan's attitude, it is worthy of praise.
"General Xiahou, Jia has heard that the general is good at being flexible, but the other party's generals are fierce and rampant, is General Xiahou ready to fight against him? If this is the case, please don't go to this battle, this is a taboo for soldiers, and I hope General Xiahou will not commit it. ”
"No!"
Xiahou Yuan hugged his fist fiercely, Jia Xu's words suddenly woke him up, all these years, he has been winning, and it seems to make him a little carried away.
"In this way, this battle will be won!"
The children can be taught, and they will wake up at one point, Xiahou Yuan's achievements today are not in vain. Jia Xu is very satisfied, this time he can win!
Compared with Sun Ce, who confronted Cao Ren and others in Yangzhou, Liu Bei is relatively much worse in terms of troops, but the sophistication of the generals is higher than that of Sun Ce, which may be the reason why Liu Bei was able to resist Sun Ce for so long, the first hurdle in front of him is the most difficult level, and at the same time, after this pass, there will be no obstacles, Liu Bei's side basically relies on the bravery of the generals to improve morale, once the morale is not available, coupled with the use of some small means, resulting in its food supply can not be supplied, This confrontation has basically been won.
The land of Jiangxia! has been reduced to a battlefield, Guan Yu guards Jiangxia, as long as Jiangxia is not lost, there will be basically nothing to do in the future, once Jiangxia is gone, what will be the consequences, Guan Yu, who is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period, knows it in his heart, and even, he also understands the situation he is in now, and only by taking the lead for the generals can he drive morale extremely high, otherwise it will be useless after all.
In Jiangxia City, rumors have begun to spread, the supply of grain and grass is not available, and the morale of the army has begun to turmoil, the reason why the soldiers are still available is entirely because of his reasons, the morale accumulated by the invincible attack is invincible, and the soldiers believe in him Guan Yu, and he Guan Yu will definitely win! Therefore, it can stick to this day!
"General Yu, the Cao army outside is calling for war!"
"Soldiers, go to war!"
"No!"
After the adjutant left, Guan Yu sighed, if he had a choice, he would definitely choose to hang up the war-free card, the battle for days has made this undefeated general begin to become tired, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue knife, Guan Yu walked to the lake commander's tent, and after ordering the troops, he personally led thousands of cavalry to rush out!
Anyone can leave! Only he Guan Yu can't retreat! Retreat! Jiangxia is not guaranteed! His eldest brother Liu Bei's foundation is not guaranteed! I'd rather die than take a step back.
When he led thousands of cavalry out of the city gate, he saw that it was Xiahou Yuan who called for battle, and immediately laughed: "It turned out to be Xiahou Miaocai, isn't the lesson a few days ago enough, and today you have to ask for hardship!" Guan Yu's words were particularly harsh, and all the soldiers under Xiahou Yuan's command were angry, their three thousand people were trained by Xiahou Yuan himself, and they didn't even need Xiahou Yuan to open their mouths for Xiahou Yuan's orders, or even a look, they immediately understood!
The Lord humiliates his ministers to death!
If you don't kill this guy, how can you wash away their shame!
Xiahou Yuan is not angry at all, it is not shameful to lose to others, but it is shameful that he still refuses to admit it even after failure!
"Guan Yunchang, you don't have to provoke me, this method is useless to me, it's just that I was defeated in your hands a few days ago, Xiahou Yuan is not convinced, and I will come again today to learn General Guan's high moves!"
Xiahou Yuan looked at Guan Yu coldly, Guan Yu sighed in his heart, Xiahou Yuan in front of him seemed to be a little different from the previous few days, and he calmed down a little more.
This battle is hard to fight!
Guan Yu's heart immediately had this thought, no matter how much he controlled this thought, he couldn't control it, and it came out slowly, but how could he be affected by these when he was firm, he roared angrily, and immediately rushed forward, and the cavalry behind him immediately followed Guan Yu's figure to chase up.
"Just in time! Scatter! ”
Xiahou Yuan smiled softly and immediately gave an order, and the cavalry behind him immediately dispersed, forming a small sharp cone, making Guan Yu's attack this time directly pounced.
"Not good!"
Guan Yu had an extremely keen sense of the changes on the battlefield, and he was shocked, and immediately led the cavalry to rush out.
"Get on the bow and shoot!"
Immediately decided, Guan Yu gave an order, and for a while ten thousand arrows were fired, the scene was spectacular, but Xiahou Yuan was not afraid at all, laughed, made a gesture, and the flag bearer immediately changed the flag in his hand, hundreds of people mixed in a pile, raised a huge shield, and then slowly moved forward, forming a huge encirclement.
"Rush!"
Guan Yu's eyes lit up when he saw this, and when the opportunity came, he immediately stopped shooting and led the cavalry to rush out.
"Just what I want! Combine! ”
Xiahou Yuan was sure in his heart, and made another gesture, and the three thousand cavalry were suddenly divided into two teams, each showing a huge awl shape, like a sharp blade, wanting to insert it into the enemy's heart.
"Rush!"
An order,; Both teams immediately attacked! As soon as the impact came, the cavalry led by Guan Yu had no time to react and was directly scattered.
Once the cavalry is charged, they will directly face the situation of being slaughtered!
"Kill me!"
Guan Yu roared angrily, and the Qinglong Glaive Knife in his hand kept waving, just like a god, constantly slashing and killing incoming enemies!
"Good man, it's a pity! Shoot! ”
No matter how fierce the person is, he can't resist the rain of arrows, most of the arrows are blocked by Guan Yu, but there are still a lot of arrows inserted in various positions on Guan Yu's shoulder, fortunately, the fatal position has been avoided, but only that, Guan Yu has lost his combat effectiveness.
"General Guan, I am willing to surrender!"
"Hahaha, even if someone Guan is dead, it is impossible to descend Cao Cao, a chaotic minister and thief...."
laughed a few times, and the treasure knife in Guan Yu's hand was wiped against his neck, and a military general with the highest force in the world was gone.
"Those who are faithful and righteous are buried in peace."
For the faithful, everyone admires, even if they are enemies.
As soon as Guan Yu died, Jiangxia was equivalent to losing the portal, as soon as Xiahou Yuan was victorious, Xiahou Yuan immediately led five thousand soldiers and horses to occupy Jiangxia City, and then took advantage of the fact that the news had not yet spread, and immediately launched an offensive.
"General Guan, I am willing to surrender!"
"Hahaha, even if someone Guan is dead, it is impossible to descend Cao Cao, a chaotic minister and thief...."
laughed a few times, and the treasure knife in Guan Yu's hand was wiped against his neck, and a military general with the highest force in the world was gone.

As soon as Guan Yu died, Jiangxia was equivalent to losing the portal, as soon as Xiahou Yuan was victorious, Xiahou Yuan immediately led five thousand soldiers and horses to occupy Jiangxia City, and then took advantage of the fact that the news had not yet spread, and immediately launched an offensive.
Liu Bei was soon taken down, Liu Bei was also very backbone, he would rather die than surrender, and committed suicide by wiping his neck in his own mansion, maybe he was wandering all his life, maybe he was tired of it.... As for Chen Qun's return to Chen's house in Xu County, the auxiliary person died, and it was impossible for him to take refuge in Cao Cao.
Liu Bei was defeated, and Sun Ce, who resisted stubbornly, finally couldn't resist and was defeated!
From the beginning of the army to the defeat of the Sun and Liu families, it took a total of three years before and after, and in the full three years, Cao Cao probably unified the world!
In Fenggao City, Cao Cao feasted the ministers, and at the dinner that day, Cao Cao smiled unscrupulously and said: "Since the sixth year of Zhongping, Lonely Cao Cao never thought that there would be today's ......" eloquently told the hardships of the year... Cao Cao sighed with emotion for a while: "If there is no respect, maybe there will be no Cao Mengde today, step by step, one link after another, I have never seen him do useless work, take this battle as an example, if it was Jingzhi who recommended Gan Ning, I am afraid that the current situation is the pattern of three parts of the world, the difference between the north and the south is too big, if you want to win the south, it is difficult to say a word... But speaking of Jingzhi, you can see Jingzhi tonight..."
I didn't see Chen Xiu at the banquet, Cao Cao sighed in his heart, and immediately asked, but everyone who asked shook their heads, and they were also curious in their hearts, why didn't Chen Xiu come tonight.
"My lord.... There is a letter in the long history. ”
Suddenly, a person outside the door hurriedly ran in, and after seeing that the person who came was the old man of the Cao family, after hearing the words from the housekeeper's mouth, he immediately got up and grabbed the letter from the housekeeper's hand, and opened the letter to see, there was only one line on the letter, which read: Lord, the minister is gone, and he has traveled all over the world.
Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said; "Maybe that's what you want." (To be continued.) )
