~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the last day of May, Shouchun changed dramatically, and an unknown rebel army infiltrated Shouchun, raided the palace city, set fire to it, and caused chaos in Shouchun City.

Yuan Shu urgently left the palace and avoided the military camp in the east of the city, and finally escaped. But before Yuan Yao could lead his army to meet him, an even greater disaster struck - Cao's army launched a general attack.

In the dark night, shouting to kill the heavens, the firelight was everywhere, the arrows flew wildly, and Yuan Jun completely fell into a state of no command. Cao's army soon broke through the outer barriers, crossed the moat, cut the rope bridge, and fought in the city.

After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, the defenders were not supported, and Cao's army intensified its efforts. The fierce general Xu Chu wore double armor, held a large shield and copper, stepped on the ladder first, and killed the head of the city. After half a moment of bloody fighting, the shield was cracked and broken, the armor was shattered, and without moving half a step, the Cao army behind him surged up like a tide...... In the middle of the night, he finally captured the outer city of the South Gate.

Yuan's army was defeated, its morale was furious, and it was unable to hold on, retreating again and again. First the east and west gates were lost, and then the inner city was lost. The sky was slightly bright, the three gates of the outer city of Shouchun were lost, the inner city was also breached, and Cao's army entered Shouchun City. Immediately, under the leadership of Cao Hong and Xu Chu, they surrounded the Dongda camp and launched a fierce attack.

The defender Liu Xun couldn't resist, and finally protected Yuan Shu, broke out of the encirclement, and killed Shouchun. Flee south.

At this time, Yuan Yao was also trapped in the palace city, unable to join his father, and the father and son were separated forever.

On the first day of June, the morning sun rose as usual, and Shouchun had changed owners.

At this time, the situation was very delicate, the Cao army occupied the inner and outer gates of Shouchun, while the dragon and wolf army occupied the inner and outer north gates and the palace city near the water. The two sides each collected and surrendered Yuan's pawns, collected military funds, requisitioned military husbands, and set up deer barricades. Well water does not interfere with river water.

Li Dian did not participate in the bloody battle last night, which was due to two reasons: First, the situation in the night battle was too chaotic, and it was basically impossible to command effectively, and it was easy to fight into a chaotic battle, causing unnecessary losses. The second is that in addition to the 500 elite soldiers of his troops, the rest of the thousands are all building boats, which are powerful on the water and mediocre on land. Throw these elite sailors into siege street battles. That's a huge waste, and it's not what a good general should do.

All Li Dian could do was to brake with static and always maintain pressure on Cao Cao. forced Cao Cao not to dare to act rashly. At the same time, it ensured the smooth communication with Ganning in Shouchun City and the transportation of military rations.

Although Cao Cao failed to take the whole city of Shouchun, and also failed to capture the Yuan father and son, he at least occupied most of the city and had a certain right to speak. In the future, Huainan will demarcate and divide the cake, don't want to leave him aside.

Let's talk about Yuan Shu, under the escort of Liu Xun. In despair, he fled to Lujiang and settled in Lu'an. At this time, there was a shortage of food in the army, and the soldiers were fleeing day by day. When he was in distress, Sun Ce of Wu County sent Gu Su Wanshi to solve the urgent need.

Yuan Shu sighed, and Liu Xun was grateful.

And the messenger who came to deliver life-saving food, Yu Xuan, "inadvertently" revealed an important information to the two, the area of Shangyu and Haidu, which is rich, can not only take refuge, but also go to the valley. Yuan Shu and Liu Xun were quite moved to hear it. Later, Yu Yu said that he was willing to persuade the lord to help, and Yuan and Liu were both happy.

Soon, Liu Xun sent troops to attack Shangyi City, and Sun Ce also sent Sun Ben and Sun Fu to lead 5,000 foot soldiers to help in the battle. When the fierce battle was in full swing, Cheng Pu and Sun Hetu led an army of nearly 10,000 to attack Liu Xun's base camp in Anhui, and broke it in one fell swoop, capturing more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians.

It is worth mentioning that it was this battle of Anhui City in history that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu got Big and Small Qiao. However, in this time and space, the situation is completely different, Yuan Shu is not dead, the situation is surging, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are all focused on the north, it is impossible to fight Huang Zu in the south, let alone personally mention the army to attack the Lujiang River...... So, Sun Lang and Zhou Lang were so helpless to miss a pair of Jiangdong sister flowers.

Liu Xun was shocked when he heard the news, returned to Peng Ze in the starry night, Sun Ben and Sun Fu sent troops to intercept and kill, Liu Xun was defeated, fled to Liuyi (now Echeng, Hubei), and went to Huangzu.

As soon as Liu Xun fell, Yuan Shu had no generals, no soldiers and no food, and completely fell into tragedy. In desperation, he wanted to go to Lishan to join Lei Bo and Chen Lan in the old days. However, for Lei Bo and others refused, they stayed for three days, and the soldiers were starved of food, so they retreated to Jiangting. At that time, there were only 30 wheat crumbs in the army. In the middle of June, Yuan Shu wanted to quench his thirst with honey syrup, but there was no honey. sighed for a long time, and said: "Yuan Shu is like this!" In the end, he vomited blood and died.

The death of Yuan Shu marked the end of the Yuan era in Huainan and the advent of the era of competing heroes.

……

June 27 is the peak of the heat stroke of the year, and as long as there is nothing on weekdays, no one will run into the sun to suffer. But what made Shouchun Cao's army strange was that early in the morning, the north gate of the palace occupied by the dragon and wolf army was opened, and a group of men and horses came out in a mighty way.

The first three of the team rode side by side, and if they looked closely, they were the three leaders of the palace city: Gan Ning, Yuan Yao, and Xu You, and the accompanying army was Gan Ning's eight hundred Bashu soldiers.

Sergeant Cao looked at each other one by one, what is the situation? Has the Dragon Wolf Army abandoned Miyagi? But there are at least a thousand guards in Miyagi, so why not withdraw all together?

When the guard general Xu Chu heard the news, he looked down at the wall, and saw Gan Ning riding on a tall horse with ten horsemen as the guide.

Gan Ning seemed to feel something, raised his head, and met Xu Chu's eyes. Facing the gaze that seemed to breathe fire, Gan Ning defiantly punched out a gesture that the lord had taught him - compared to the middle finger.

Gan Ning didn't fully understand the meaning of this gesture, and Xu Chu didn't understand the meaning of this gesture at all. But at this moment, the person who made the gesture felt particularly happy, and the person who saw the gesture was angry and rushed to the Heavenly Spirit Gai.

No matter if you don't understand, as long as you are not a fool, you can understand that Gan Ning will not say "I will top you".

Xu Chu's forehead was bruised, his fists were clenched, loosened, and his fingers were crossed, and his thick arms were slowly raised. Hu Zuo, who was familiar with his temper and actions, knew that he was ready to give an order as soon as he saw his action.

"Herald!" Xu Chu's beard is like a needle, and he is full of flesh, murderous, "Wait for Gan Ning and his party to go out of the north gate." Immediately besiege Miyagi ......"

Dongmen galloped in, his arms raised high, holding a roll of military orders, and shouted at Xu Chu from a distance: "Zhongkang-the lord's order-"

It's Han Hao. Xu Chu gestured: "What?" ”

"The lord has an order, press the soldiers, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

Xu Chu's mouth opened wide, I haven't done it yet, how can the lord know? Isn't this too godly?

At this time, Han Hao had already galloped to the city, glanced at the dragon and wolf army team that was gradually moving away, and looked up and said, "Zhong Kang doesn't need to be surprised. Because the lord knew that Gan Ning and Yuan Yao would definitely lead the army out of the city. ”

Xu Chu looked confused: "Why is this?" ”

A touch of complicated feelings flashed across Han Hao's face, and he sighed heavily: "Because, he's here." ”

Xu Chu was stunned at first, then woke up, and his eyes instantly widened like a bell: "He's here?" ”

Huaishang gathered heroes, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Zhu Ling, Han Hao, Cao Ang, Han Song, Li Dian, Gan Ning, Xu You, Yuan Yao, Hu Che'er...... and so on, regardless of each other, all standing quietly in the grass huts they built, with their heads bowed and their necks raised.

Two quarters in the hour. I saw a striking red flag from the lookout tower standing on the mound in the distance, and there was a commotion in the grass hut.

After another moment, a tall three-story boat appeared downstream of the river, and the dragon and wolf flags were flying. The three decks were full of soldiers with spears and bows.

The ship approached the south shore, and a neat general on the deck bowed his hand to the people in the straw hut: "The general's account Governor Chen has seen the princes, and the general will arrive in two o'clock." ”

Horseman. Here it comes.

On June 27 of the fifth year of Jian'an, Ma Han, Guo Jia, Xun You, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Chen Zhi led 500 generals and guards and 1,000 camps (originally 700. Ma Han ordered an expansion of 1,000 halberds, plus a baggage battalion and an auxiliary battalion led by Gao Lansuo with more than 2,500 people, with a total of 5,000 men and horses, to meet with the Huainan heroes in Huaishang.

The two armies of Lejin and Tai Shici, the main forces of the Southern Expedition, hibernated in Surabaya and the east coast, practicing secretly, adapting to the water and soil of Jianghuai, and waiting for the call of the lord at any time.

The army led by Ma Han did not have many soldiers, only 2,500 people, but they were all the strongest troops of the Dragon and Wolf Army. Needless to say, the generals and guards are both first-class heavy infantry in the Three Kingdoms. When more than 2,000 heavy infantry with shiny helmets and dazzling armor poured out of hundreds of ships and roared ashore to assemble, the scene, from Cao Cao to Cao Cao's pawns, was all stunned. You must know that although Cao's army has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but the heavy armor soldiers cannot gather 200, you can imagine the shock of facing them.

Ma Han went south this time, and the name he played was to accept Yuan Shu's dedication to the seal and land, but it was not a southern expedition, so he couldn't send too many troops. However, at this time, the dragon wolf army had a total of more than 15,000 horses and warships on land and water in Huaishang, plus more than 3,000 people of Yuan's army, and the total number of troops was close to the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of Cao's army. It can be said that it is completely sufficient to fight the first phase of the Southern Expedition.

However, when Ma Han set foot on the land of Huainan and saw his long-lost old opponent Cao Cao, the first thing he said was: "Brother Mengde, I am here, and peace will come." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, no one knew whether his heart collapsed, everyone only saw that this man was only up to the shoulders of the horseman, but his aura was not a little weaker, and the male lord of the party was full of smiles: "At the first meeting of Xuzhou, the general at that time was only a captain, and he once brought peace to Xuzhou with his own strength. Today, the general's majesty has made the world look sideways, and if you want to seek peace, why can't you do it? ”

The two peerless heroes held hands with each other and laughed, looking very intimate and harmonious.

Seeing this, the soldiers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves eased. Especially the soldiers of Cao Jun, who had fought for more than half a year, were demoralized, and they were intimidated by the dragon and wolf heavy armor soldiers, and they thought to themselves, now it's okay, no need to fight anymore.

Well, the wishes of the soldiers, always so simple and beautiful.

Just as Ma Han and Cao Cao introduced each other's generals, and greeted each other, a horse flew in the distance, looking at the command flag planted behind it, it was undoubtedly Cao's sentry horse.

The sentry rode closer, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said: "Report to the general, report from the front, Wucheng Hou, the rebellious general Sun Ce, led more than 10,000 troops and 300 warships, came to meet the general." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Sun Bofu is also here, great!" If you want to get peace with Jianghuai, you really can't help this Sun Lang. ”

Ma Han smiled meaningfully: "It's really timely...... It's time to meet this little overlord of Jiangdong. (To be continued......)
