Chapter 177 Ji Ling drove troops to block Xuande, and Xu Ji raised the city to surrender Mengde

Just as Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun and others were discussing the mobilization of Yuzhou soldiers and horses to block Liu Bei, a person came from outside the palace.

This person is one of the heroes who attacked Yangzhou, Yuan Shu called the emperor and queen officials worship Ji Ling, the general of the chariot and cavalry.

Ji Ling said: "Liu Bei's soldiers and horses crossed Yingshui and approached Shouchun. Our army has to defend! However, how could Yanzhou Cao Mengde let go of this opportunity and seize His Majesty's Yuzhou counties? As far as a certain know, General Zuo Liu Xuande sent an envoy to Jingzhou and had persuaded Liu Jingsheng to send troops. ”

Listening to what he said, Doctor Xu Shaoyan said: "According to what General Che Cai said, Prime Minister Cao Cheng will also take this opportunity to make trouble?" General, don't forget that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has repeatedly shown favor to my lord! In my opinion, it is enough to resist Liu Xuande's soldiers and horses in the north! ”

Who is Xu Shao?

When this person saw Cao Cao when he was young, he once made up his mind: This son will be the dragon and phoenix among the people in the future, the capable minister who governs the world, and the hero of the troubled times!

Xu Shao is a general, with a unique vision and far-reaching insight, but he is cowardly and likes to speculate.

He had already seen that Yuan Shu was going to be defeated, but he had to serve under Yuan Shu. Now, he sees that all kinds of appearances are developing towards foresight, and naturally he will not let go of an opportunity. He admired Cao Cao for a long time, so he blindly excused Cao Cao.

Ji Ling seemed to have a deep hatred for Cao Cao, and reprimanded angrily: "Doctor Shang, do you still remember the past? If it weren't for Cao Thief, how would we have been defeated by Liu Xuande? ”

"The public defeat to Liu Xuande is due to the lack of public energy? How can you complain about Cao Gongye? What did Cao Gong do, do you know if you are good? You were defeated by Liu Xuande, why not take this opportunity to take revenge? Xu Shao sneered.

Ji Ling was furious, and said angrily: "Why don't you dare? ”

"If you dare to go north to Liu Xuande, I will go to Yuzhou to defend against Cao Cao!" Xu Shao took the opportunity to excite each other, and everything fell into place.

The two of them were invited to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu then invited from the two to make the general Ji Ling the main general, Chen Lan, Chen Ji, and Le as deputy generals, raising 40,000 troops, mobilizing Yuzhou guards Lei Bo, Han Hao and 40,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses, known as 100,000 troops, and went to Yingshui; Doctor Xu Shao was the assassin of Yuzhou, and went to Yuzhou to sit in town and beware of Cao Cao.

He also made the general Zhang Xun as the main general, Yang Feng, Han Xianam, Qiao Mao, Li Cai, and Yuan Teng as deputy generals, and sent 60,000 troops, known as 100,000 troops, to the junction of Jingyang and Yang.

Let's talk about Ji Ling alone.

This guy has been hit by Guan Yu repeatedly, and it can be said that he is afraid of Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang as if he was afraid of a tiger. Hearing that Guan Gong stayed in Qingzhou, he bravely accepted the will of the pseudo-emperor Yuan Highway, took Chen Lan, Chen Ji and Le Yu, and led the army straight to Anfengjin.

At this time, Liu Bei's army had already crossed Yingshui and reached Yingshang.

Huaxiong led the crowd out of the city and lined up to greet each other.

"Hua Xiong has seen the lord!" Hua Xiong led everyone to pay homage to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei looked at Hua Xiong with great appreciation, and said with a smile: "Yingjie marched all the way, and his military achievements are outstanding, I should reward you and others!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Hua Xiong personally led Liu Bei into the city.

Following Hua Xiong into the county office, Liu Bei sat on the Taishi chair and listened to Hua Xiong's report on the battle situation.

"Playing the lord, crossing the river and breaking the city are all Yan Xiang and Liang Mao's help." Hua Xiong said, leading the two to see Liu Bei.

Liu Bei asked in surprise, "Yan Xiang?" Liang Mao? ”

"Yan Xiang has seen the lord."

"Liang Mao has seen the lord."

"Two of you are exempt!" Liu Bei saw that the two of them were one writer and one martial artist, so he said, "With the help of the two of you, breaking Yuan's technique is just around the corner!" With the work of the two, they should be rewarded. I added Yan Xiang as the military aircraft counselor, and followed the military advisor Chen Gongtai to the military aircraft, and gave me advice! Liang Mao was crowned as a lieutenant, and he was temporarily the deputy general of General Hua. ”

"Thank you, Lord." The two hurriedly thanked Liu Bei.

Hua Xiong said to Liu Bei again: "Lord, a certain Ma Xinbao: Yuan Highway sent Shang to lead Ji Ling to lead the army straight to Anfengjin. The subordinates are not talented, and they want to fight! ”

Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong.

Looking at Liu Bei's inquiring gaze, Chen Gongyan said: "What General Hua invited, you can do it!" Ji Ling has been defeated by our army repeatedly, and he must be afraid in his heart! As soon as General Hua's soldiers and horses arrive, they will definitely be able to deter his army! The lord's army has just arrived, and it is not too late to rest and recuperate! ”

Hearing his words, Liu Bei nodded and advised: "In this case, Yingjie, you will lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to Anfengjin to meet Ji Ling!" You must stabilize your position, seize its momentum, and raise the prestige of our army! ”

"No!" Hua Xiong agreed.

The monarch and the ministers had lunch, and Huaxiong led Hao Yin and Liang Mao to resign to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also sent Yan Xiang with him in order to give advice to Hua Xiong.

Bidding farewell to Liu Bei and others, Huaxiong led the troops all the way to the east and went straight to Anfengjin.

Anfengjin is located on the south bank of Yingshui, close to Yingshui, surrounded by water on both sides, one side against the mountain, only a city gate facing the road, and the endless plain in front.

The city is not small, with a radius of several miles.

Yuan Ji, the guard general in the city, is the brother of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but he looks very similar to Yuan Shao.

The Anfengjin area is rich in aquatic products, so Yuan Ji came here to receive this fat shortage.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, crowned Yuan Ji as the king of Anfeng County, established Anfeng State, and allowed the county to have 10,000 soldiers.

Suddenly seeing tens of thousands of troops approaching, Yuan Ji was shocked and sent his generals to investigate.

The ministry will come back and report: "Your Majesty, it's Ji Ling, the general of the chariot and cavalry." The general said: Liu Xuande's 100,000-strong army has crossed Yingshui, captured Yingshang, and is marching towards Anfeng! ”

"What?" Yuan Ji was shocked, so he went to see Ji Ling in person.

Seeing Ji Ling, Yuan Ji asked, "Has Liu Xuande really captured Yingshang?" ”

"Don't worry, your majesty. His Majesty has requisitioned soldiers and horses from Yuzhou to help, and he will definitely repel Liu Xuande! Ji Ling persuaded.

Hearing that the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou would come to the rescue, Yuan Ji was relieved.

Sure enough.

The next day, Yuzhou guards Lei Bo and Han Hao led 40,000 soldiers and horses to arrive.

Yuan Ji was overjoyed, so he invited the two soldiers and horses into the city.

There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Anfengjin.

Only then did Yuan Ji settle down.

The scouts sent by Ji Ling came to report: "King Qiqi and General, Liu Xuande's army has arrived in Yingshang. His vanguard officer Hua Xiong has led 10,000 troops and horses into the territory of Anfeng Country! ”

"Well done! Which general is willing to fight for this king? Yuan Ji suddenly became the chief general this time, and asked all the generals present.

Considering that the person was the prince, Ji Ling was displeased, but he didn't say much.

Han Hao took the words and asked for battle: "A certain general is willing to go!" ”

King Anfeng seemed to sense Ji Ling's attitude and asked, "What does General Che Qi think?" ”

Ji Ling said with a smile on his face: "But it's up to the king to decide!" ”

"The king will pass over once." As he spoke, he turned back to Han Hao and said, "General Han, I hope that Ruqi will be victorious and successful." The king is waiting for good news! ”

"We will not fail in our mission!" Han Hao agreed, and then said goodbye and left.

Yingshang City is more than 500 miles away from Anfengjin, and it takes two days to travel day and night.

Press Huaxiong to march into the army, not to mention how he met Han Hao, but also to say that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's actions after sending Huainan.

The news of Liu Bei's dispatch of troops soon reached the ears of Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao's ministers discussed one after another, some said that they should take the opportunity to attack Liu Bei, some said that they could not attack Liu Bei and should attack Zhang Yan of Montenegro, and some suggested that Cao Cao's actions should be watched quietly......

Ay! No matter what, Yuan Shao didn't move!

Because he sent out to explore the horse, Liu Bei arranged more than 100,000 troops in Qingzhou, and even made Guan Yu, the first general under his command, Fenwei, defend it. He is at war with the Montenegrin army, where can he free up his hand for a while?

It's Cao Cao.

Knowing that Liu Bei's troops were sent to Huainan, he wanted to immediately send troops to attack Jiuli Mountain.

At this time, Guo Jia came to stop him.

"Don't act rashly, lord!" Guo Jia dissuaded him and said.

Cao Cao didn't know what to do, and asked, "What does Fengxiao mean?" ”

Guo Jia replied: "My lord, what we have planned has never worked!" Instead, it was drawn by Xu Yuanzhi and Chen Gongtai. The two actually persuaded Liu Xuande to link up with Liu Jingsheng to attack Yuan Highway. ”

"Does Liu Xuande have a personal visit?!" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia replied: "Liu Xuande was afraid that the lord and Yuan Shao would take advantage of this opportunity to send troops, so he asked Xu Yuanzhi and Zhang Yide to lead more than 100,000 troops to defend Xuzhou, and Guan Yunchang to lead more than 100,000 troops to defend Qingzhou. And Liu Xuande and Chen Gongtai only drove 50,000 troops to conquer Yuan Highway! ”

"What? Liu Xuande is so bold! Yuan Highway's subordinates had far more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he dared to use 50,000 soldiers and horses to conquer him?! Cao Cao was amazed.

"Not bad! Even counting the 10,000 people under Cai Huayingjie, Liu Xuande's subordinates are only more than 60,000 people! Guo Jia said.

"Qingxu can't make a plan, what should I do?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Why don't you take this opportunity to capture Yuzhou?" ”

"Attack Yuzhou?!" Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then smiled and praised loudly, "Brilliant plan!" What Bong Hyo said is wonderful! ”

The next day, Cao Cao entered the court to report to the Son of Heaven: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The minister has a book! ”

"The Qing family is exempt from courtesy, what is the performance?" When Emperor Xian saw Cao Cao saluting, he was a little flattered.

Cao Cao played: "Liu Xuande, the emperor's uncle, has sent troops to attack Yuan Highway. And Yuzhou also invested in Yuan Highway, so the minister thought that the emperor's uncle was alone, and he was willing to lead troops and horses to conquer Yuzhou. ”

How dare the Son of Heaven not allow it, so he said: "If the prime minister wants to send troops, he will send troops!" I hope that the prime minister will capture Yuan Highway as soon as possible! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

……

After obtaining the decree of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao can mobilize military horses, grain and grass.

Five days later, Cao Cao left Xun Yu and Cheng Yu in Xuchang, and made Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Man Chong, Mao Jie, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others as generals, with Guo Jia as a military advisor, and raised 100,000 troops to attack Yuzhou.

Xiahoudun once again won the vanguard and led 10,000 troops to take the lead.

Out of Xuchang, Xiahoudun hit Ye Cheng directly.

Ye Cheng's guard Xu Ji was Xu Shao's man, and after receiving Xu Shao's arrangement, he was ready to surrender.

Knowing that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses had arrived, he took people out of the city and asked to see Xiahoudun.

"I am Han Ji, entrusted by Xu Shao, to meet the general!" Xu Ji said.

Xiahoudun asked, "What do you have to say when you come to see so-and-so?" ”

"We have heard the prime minister's name for a long time, and we have specially raised the city to share each other, and I hope that the general will recommend us!" Xu Ji replied.

As soon as their army arrived, they came to surrender!

This made Xiahoudun have to be cautious and did not dare to agree easily......
