Yuan Shu received a war letter from Liu Xiu, the war book quoted scriptures, and was impassioned to the effect that I Liu Xiu was ordered by the Son of Heaven to crusade against rebellion, recovering Xiling in a war, and then fighting to capture Zhang Xunshuishi, as soon as you Yuan Shu came out, Yuan Shu fled back to Poyang Lake, the outcome is clear, you don't resist anymore, surrender early, maybe I can still ask the Son of Heaven to spare you from death. If you are still www.biquge.info satisfied, then prepare to fight with me, don't be like a gutsless shrew, screaming fiercely, but you don't have the courage to fight, you only dare to hide in the boudoir and wipe your tears.

Yuan Shu laughed angrily after reading the battle book, shook the letter for a long time, and finally said: "This letter is definitely not written by him, his knowledge is almost as good as mine, and he can't write such sour and damaged words." ”

Yan Xiang took it and looked at it, and immediately made a conclusion: "It's either Song Zhong or Qi Wuhong, except for the two of them, no one will write the battle so jerky." He smiled: "Will the general fight?" ”

Yuan Shu glared at him angrily: "If I can fight, I will hide here and be humiliated by him?" ”

Yan Xiang smiled with satisfaction, he was afraid that Yuan Shu would be angered by Liu Xiu, so he gave up his good location to fight with Liu Xiu in a fit of anger.

"The general is wise, the battlefield is fighting for the final victory, these little tricks are meaningless." Yan Xiang crumpled the war book into a ball and threw it into the wastepaper basket with disdain. Yuan Shu's eyes flashed, and he didn't move in the end.

Yuan Shu didn't react, Liu Xiu was not in a hurry, he set up a foot battalion in Chaisang (now Jiujiang City), I don't know if it was for the sake of anger, Yuan Shu or what, he set up the camp of the water division in Jiangxinzhou, blocking the mouth of Poyang Lake. In this way, if Yuan Shu wants to get in touch with Jiangbei, he can only quietly act on a large scale, and he can't do it anymore.

The geographical location of Chaisang is very important, that is, it guards the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and is the starting point of a series of hills and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, and the southeast corner of Chaisang is the world-famous Lujiang River. In the southwest corner, there is the Shogunate Mountain, and to the south are the Jiuling Mountain and the Luoxiao Mountain. The world-famous Jinggang Mountain is part of Luoxiao Mountain.

In other words, after Liu Xiu occupied Chaisang, he choked Yuan Shu's road to the west. From now on, Yuan Shu could only support Changsha through a series of passages between hills and mountains. Yuan Shu gave up Chai Sang, and he was also helpless, if he wanted to hold Chai Sang, he had to cooperate with the water masters, and those water masters under him were not Liu Xiu's opponents, so he had to retreat to Poyang Lake and give up such a good terrain as Chai Sang.

Liu Xiu was very leisurely, and sent letters to Yuan Shu twice for three days. Today, I said that I was in Lujiang for the summer, the scenery is very good, do you want to come? Tomorrow I said that I was boating and fishing in the river, and I caught fish and made fish soup, and I came to drink wine together? Yuan was tired of seeing after surgery. I didn't pick it up at all, and I threw it away. However, Liu Xiu's letters were still very patient, and he kept inviting Yuan Shu to reminisce about the past.

Yuan Shu hurriedly replied with a letter, the fish in Poyang Lake are not bad, are you coming? There you are. I'm you drinking. As a result, within a few days, Liu Xiu replied, I will go, you prepare the place, I have a lot of people, you have to move a big camp for me. Yuan Shu was so angry that he had nothing to say.

But Yuan Shu never expected that Liu Xiu, who had been chatting and farting with him, was not in Chaisang at all, he was in Changsha.

Yuan Shu shrank in Poyang Lake, Liu Xiu couldn't take it for a while, Poyang Lake was complicated, Yuan Shu hid the water master wherever he wanted, he might not be able to find him, even if he found it, he couldn't start a war rashly. The march and battle are very serious, and the geography and sailors are even more so, it looks like it is all a blue wave, how do you know how deep and shallow water is below? In case the water is shallow, the big ship will run aground and the rest will be used as targets.

Liu Xiu was not so stupid, he let Gan Ning be stationed in Jiangxinzhou, and after blocking Yuan Shu's passage out of Poyang Lake, he ordered Xu Rongwei to make Huang Zhong his deputy, stationed in Chaisang under his banner, and he rushed to Changsha to supervise the battle, preparing to eat Sun Jian first.

Sun Jian is not easy to fight, after receiving the remnants of Zhang Xun, he now has 13,000 or 4,000 troops, the strength is very sufficient, Linxiang City is under the auspices of Huanjie, and it is a little strong, if it is attacked, Liu Xiu will lose at least 30,000 people in Linxiang City. This kind of loss-making thing Liu Xiu has never done, so he doesn't attack the city, he only besieges the city.

Of course, the siege can't be simply surrounded, that method is too expensive and has no effect, not to mention that Liu Xiu doesn't have so many soldiers now, he only has a total of 30,000 cavalry on hand now, including the 10,000 county soldiers and barbarians that Kuai Liang has just recruited from the three counties of Lingling, Guiyang, and Wuling. Such a force was far from enough to storm the city, and even the siege was a little nervous.

However, Liu Xiu had a way, so he stationed the army ten miles away from Linxiang City, and then practiced every day in a place where Sun Jian could see, Sun Jian did not go out of the city, he cāo practiced, Sun Jian went to war when he left the city.

Sun Jian didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that this was Liu Xiu's plan to lure the enemy, and he would have to change his tricks in a few days, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to be very patient, he practiced for two months, Sun Jian watched him train a group of Wulingman and Jiangxia Man, who only knew how to run wildly with bare feet and slash with knives, into Jing soldiers who could climb the city and line up.

What made Sun Jian even more nervous was still to come.

The autumn harvest has begun.

Where Sun Jianzhi is, he dares to stick to Changsha, what he thinks is that Changsha has rice and can eat on the spot, but Liu Xiu is eyeing the army outside the city to train soldiers, does he dare to go out of the city to harvest rice? If he wanted to have this strength, he would have gone out of the city to fight Liu Xiu a long time ago.

He didn't dare to return it, Liu Xiu did it even more ruthlessly, the people were not allowed to go out of the city, and they were caught one by one, and then let them stand under the city and shout to surrender their relatives.

In this way, even if the people wanted to leave the city, Sun Jian would not dare to let go, and could only watch the golden rice fields outside the city, but not a grain of rice could be harvested. At this time, Yan Pu's effect of not letting Zhang Fei kill a lot of people was revealed, and after Zhang Xun's remnants, the consumption rate of food in the city increased rapidly, and the time that Sun Jian could rely on it was shortened a lot.

Sun Jian was anxious and found Huan Jie. Huan Jie, however, had already been mentally prepared, and he thought of this when Liu Xiu was besieging the city. He is also very conflicted about what Liu Xiu is thinking about now. He knew very well in his heart what this would bring to the people of the Linxiang layer, and he also knew it. Liu Xiu collected the rice from Changsha, he could hold on here for another year and a half, no problem, the big deal was to draw some grain from several other counties to replenish it. But if Linxiang City is surrounded for another year and a half, it will have to eat people.

Sun Jian may not care, but he can't do that.

"Liu Xiu, this is dragging time." Huan Jie was a little depressed. "He is in no hurry to defeat the Yuan family at all."

Sun Jian's brows tightened, he also thought of this, and this was enough to turn all the situation around.

"Does the general want to ask General Yuan for help?" Huan Jie asked, "If General Yuan can't come to help." It was only a matter of time before Linxiang was lost. ”

"Can't call for help." Sun Jian shook his head: "My purpose is to delay Liu Xiu here so that General Yuan can free up his hands to prepare." Now that Liu Xiu's main force has been dragged by me, I have achieved my goal, and General Yuan will come to help, wouldn't it be a waste of all my efforts. ”

"But the general's current situation is different from what we estimated at the beginning, judging from Liu Xiu's series of actions, he has no intention of fighting a decisive battle quickly, he is using time to win the hearts of the people in Jingzhou."

"The hearts of the people in Jingzhou?" Sun Jian smiled bitterly: "It probably includes Linxiang City, right?" ”

Huan Jie shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that Linxiang City has been predetermined by him as the chicken that kills chickens and monkeys." ”

Sun Jian raised his eyebrows. He tasted the crisis in Huanjie's sentence. He sat up straight and rolled his eyes: "What then?" ”

"Send someone to ask General Yuan for help, or break through." Huan Jie said: "And it's not enough. It must be decided as soon as possible, and change must be made later. ”

Sun Jian instinctively held his breath and thought for a while. Huan Jie's words are very clear, the hearts of the people in Linxiang City have been moved, and with Liu Xiu's habit of implementing new policies when he arrives, he is definitely not idle now. The Jingzhou clan is sharing the benefits, if Linxiang City has been besieged, not only will the benefits not be shared, but they will also have to be punished as a rebel at that time, even if Liu Xiu does not punish them, they will be eaten by Sun Jian's army for a year, and they will also suffer heavy losses. Those who are attached to Liu Xiu are sharing the benefits, and those who are attached to Yuan Shu are unlucky, why are they unlucky?

Yuan Shu came to help, and there was hope to defeat Liu Xiu, so the people of Linxiang City would have merit, and they would be able to share the benefits, and with hope, they would be at ease. If Yuan Shu can't come to help, then Sun Jian can only break through, so as not to accumulate more and more resentment in Linxiang City, until he can't even control the Huan rank.

In a word, if it drags on like this, it will be a dead end sooner or later.

Sun Jian hesitated for a long time and finally said, "I wrote a letter to General Yuan. ”

……

Yuan Shu received the urgent letter sent by Sun Jian, and then he knew that Liu Xiu was no longer in Chaisang, so he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and beat his chest. Liu Xiuren was not there, Chaisang scared him so much that he didn't dare to move in Yuzhang just by his name, which was a great shame.

"I'm going to fight him!" Yuan Shu roared like an enraged lion.

Yan Xiang was silent. He didn't understand why Liu Xiu was so patient, he had been sending troops for almost half a year, except for seizing Xiling and recovering Jiangxia, there was no big move. This composure, which surprised them, also disrupted all their deployments.

Within half a year, Yuan Kui and Yuan Shu joined forces to storm Yanzhou and Qingxu, and Cao Cāo was beaten to the point that they were shrinking into Chen Liu's house, and Yuan's house was about to take Qingxu all, but it was just a breath away. The reasons for this, in addition to Cao Cāo's tenacity, the most important are two points: one is that the yellow scarves in Qingzhou can't be killed, no matter how hard Yuan Shao tries, they have been occupying Qingzhou, and the other is that Qingxu's people's hearts have changed.

The big clan of Qingxu built forts to defend themselves, ignored the Yuan family's overtures, and although Cao Cāo was beaten and withdrew from Qingxu, these big clans just did not surrender to the Yuan family.

Just as he didn't expect Liu Xiu to be more patient with them, Yuan Kui expected that the scene where the Qingxu clan would eat pot pulp to greet them was not unexpected, and all they encountered was a dock fort and ruthless swords and arrows.

People's hearts have changed.

Yan Xiang realized that if the battle could not be resolved in the short term, the Yuan family would lose more and more people's hearts. Then rush to Changsha to fight Liu Xiu? No, this is tantamount to abandoning all the defense lines that have been built with a lot of effort to the location chosen by Liu Xiu and fighting with Liu Xiu.

"Let Sun Jian withdraw from Changsha and bring Liu Xiu here." Yan Xiang finally expressed his opinion. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
