The Troubled Times Open Chapter 202 Expedition to Huainan

After Liu Guanzhang fled from Linxian, he no longer thought about attacking the traitor Yuan Shu, but went directly to his own Xiaopei.

On the march, Liu Bei looked at the defeated soldiers of less than 2,000 behind him, his face was bitter, and an incomparable sense of sadness lingered in his heart.

This expedition, Liu Bei actually didn't have much ambition, he knew that his strength was much worse than Yuan Shu, so he didn't plan to collide with Yuan Shu's main force at all, he just hoped to be able to fight soy sauce behind Cao Cao and others, pick up some if there is a cheap, and if it is not cheap, he always has to mix up a reputation, at least he has to show that he Liu Bei, as a member of the Han family, will never allow others to usurp the Han attitude, but he never thought that as soon as he set out on the expedition, not only did he not get any cheap, but he fell into the trap of the enemy, The more than 10,000 foundations that I worked so hard to pull up were all folded in, and it was simply a loss.

"Big brother, drink some water!" Zhang Fei handed over a water bag and said with great concern.

"Thank you, third brother!" Looking at Zhang Fei's big black face and Guan Yu who was speechless on the side, Liu Bei sighed, took it and drank it all. After drinking the water, he felt a little better in his heart, no matter what, his three brothers are still there, as long as his three brothers are still there, there will always be a chance in the future.

"Big brother, don't be discouraged, the big husband can bend and stretch, a small blow is nothing!" Zhang Fei is a coarse and delicate person, knowing that his eldest brother is in a bad mood at this time, he is very careful to comfort him.

"It's okay, third brother, if you lose, you will be defeated, as long as our three brothers are still there!" Liu Bei patted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the shoulders and forced a smile.

"Hehe, I'm relieved that my eldest brother is fine!" Seeing Liu Bei smiling, Zhang Fei also laughed, and the atmosphere was finally not so depressing.

"Hey, the eldest brother is afraid that we will be worried, and he will always be sad in his heart!" Guan Yu on the side looked at Liu Bei's forced laughter, and felt a little panicked in his heart, no one thought that this time he would lose so badly, more than 10,000 soldiers actually left less than 2,000, and each of them was injured, it was really a complete fiasco, and the whole battle situation was played by others in applause, and his side didn't know about it, which was really a very humiliating thing.

But one thing has to be admitted, that is, the reason why they lost so badly in this battle is mainly because of the young military advisor of the other party, thinking of the handsome young man of Yuan Shujun who scolded Fang Xuan before, Guan Yu once again had a little realization in his heart, their three brothers, the eldest brother has insight, he and the third brother have courage, but only lack a good military advisor, if the eldest brother can also get a capable military advisor, he will definitely be able to do a great career!

"Lord, there is a battle report from Huainan, Liu Bei was ambushed by Sun Ce, the general under Yuan Shu, when he first entered Huainan, and he has already suffered heavy losses back to Xiaopei at this time!"

Jiangdong, when Lu An received Cao Cao's affirmative reply and knew that the grain and grass he had financed was already on the way, he immediately gathered an army of 100,000 and prepared to attack Yuan Shu, but the army had just marched to Lujiang County, and he was very stunned to receive a piece of information from a spy.

"Poof!" Listening to the specific information sent by the spies, Lu An couldn't help but laugh a little somehow. What does Liu Bei say, it's really unlucky, it is said that he just arrived in Huainan County, and he was ambushed by Sun Ce, and escaped in defeat, I don't know if this is an alternative background and died first!

"There must be that Zhou Yu's shadow in here!" Guo Jia on the side asked about the general situation of the battle, and said softly: "Although we defeated these two people last time, it is undeniable that these two people are indeed our great enemies!" ”

"Well, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are almost the only two top people under Yuan Shu who can handle them, I hope we don't touch them for the time being this time, otherwise it will be very unfavorable for us to attack Huainan!" Lu An nodded sympathetically, Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin, no matter who they are, they are the first-class characters in the entire Three Kingdoms, not to mention that these two people have always been Meng Bujiao and Jiao Meng, and it is a big trouble for anyone to be together.

"It's easy, we just need to slow down the march!" Guo Jia said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Lu An glanced at him and asked.

"Now that Yuan Shu has defeated Liu Bei, both Cao Cao and Lu Bu are his super enemies, and there are a few under Yuan Shu's command who can block the edge of these two people, as long as the march is a little slower, presumably Sun Ce and Zhou Yu will be transferred to those two fronts by Yuan Shu!" Guo Jia analyzed.

"Great idea, just do it!" As soon as Lu An heard that there was some reason, he immediately gave the order to slow down the march.

It's not that Lu An is afraid of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but at the moment the main purpose of his attack on Yuan Shu is to occupy the territory of Yangzhou in Huainan, so Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, this hard bone, if you can't gnaw it, you still don't gnaw it, and throwing it to Cao Cao and Lu Bu is the best choice, which is also very in line with the art of war.

Lujiang County is the only area in Jiangdong that is close to the Central Plains, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is almost a gate from Lu'an to the Central Plains, so when the army arrived in Lujiang County, it was actually not much distance from Huainan, but under Lu An's intentional control of the marching speed, when they came to the vicinity of Huainan, it had been a month.

This month's time was obviously not wasted, and soon Lu An got information from the spies, it was Sun Ce who was defending Huainan, but a few days ago, because Lu Bu attacked Guangling and other places, Zhang Xun over there was a little unbearable, so Yuan Shu transferred Sun Ce urgently and transferred Zhang Xun, who was originally defending Lu Bu.

Before Sun Ce arrived under Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun was the second person under Yuan Shu's command after Ji Ling, and he was a general with good ability, but this also depends on who he compares with, at least Lu An heard that Sun Ce went to Guangling, and after Zhang Xun was exchanged, a faint smile immediately appeared on his face, Sun Ce left, and Zhou Yu must have followed, as for that Zhang Xun, in Lu An's opinion, he was obviously not an important role, and he did not have much ability to hinder him from taking Huainan.

When the army came to Huainan, Lu An changed his previous attitude of grinding, but began to march in Huainan with an attitude of autumn wind sweeping the leaves, every time his army arrived at a county, he must capture it, record the household registration of the people, the fields to which it belongs, and then replace some important officials from the original county order and county, and call some scholars from Jiangdong to take up their posts here, it is obvious that Lu An is ready to take Huainan as his own territory, as for whether he will be attacked by Yuan Shu in the future, sorry, in Lu An's opinion, That has almost become an impossible thing, since Yuan Shu has been called the emperor, then even if he has top talents like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu under his command, he is already about to be defeated, and he can't jump for two or three days.

In this way, Lu An finally came to the center of Huainan County, that is, Hefei City, in this city, more than 60,000 soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu were stationed, commanded by Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun is obviously a very cautious person, or he thinks that Lu An is a person worthy of his such cautious treatment, when Lu An attacked other counties all the way, Zhang Xun did not send any troops to stop him at all, but firmly guarded his Hefei, refusing to go out of the city for half a step, until Lu An's army came to Hefei City.

"This Zhang Xun looks really troublesome!" Looking at the attitude of waiting for the other side, Lu An frowned slightly, he didn't care too much about Zhang Xun's ability, he was just a second-rate general, otherwise he wouldn't even have the courage to go out of the city and fight with him, but this person was very self-aware, knowing that he might not be able to defeat himself when fighting outside, so he simply didn't care about anything, and concentrated on guarding his Hefei City.

And this is precisely the most distressing point of Lu An, although he has 100,000 soldiers and horses, but if he wants to forcibly attack the city, he is very unwilling, this era of siege is not a simple matter, the siege can only be carried out by ants or rushing cars, the defender of the city occupies a huge geographical advantage, even if he can capture it in the end, it must be a heavy loss, which is obviously the worst choice for Lu An, who has always cherished the lives of soldiers.

"Gotta figure figure out!" Looking at the defenders on the head of the city, Lu Anxin kept thinking about countermeasures.
