Chapter 426: Runan breaks, Guan Yu goes

Liu Bei said: "No, the Jingzhou army and the Yellow Turban decisive battle with Shangcai, the second brother is struggling to support in Pingyu City, if you give up, wouldn't you send 100,000 people in Runan to the Yellow Turban, absolutely not." ”

"The lord is merciful, but the strength of our army is low, and now we are guarding the two places separately, which is really unwise."

Liu Bei's tone was resolute, "Even if the whole army is annihilated, it is categorically impossible to give up Runan." ”

Sun Qian sighed and stopped talking, while Zhang Fei secretly gritted his teeth and hated Cao Cao.

Cai Mao stared at Shangcai City with a gloomy face, the successive attacks made the Jingzhou army lose nearly a thousand people, and Shangcai City was still intact, it was the middle of winter at this time, if you don't hurry up the attack, I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult.

The eyes of all the princes of the Central Plains converged on Yuzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Huang Turban, Guo Da, and even Yuan Shu of Yangzhou couldn't bear the loneliness, and sent his general Ji Ling to lead 10,000 horses to Yuzhou, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie.

Guo Fei firmly held Shangcai, the Jingzhou army could not advance an inch, the strength of the Yellow Turban Army was slightly inferior to the Jingzhou army, but it had a geographical advantage, Cai Mao was difficult to attack the city wall for a while, and the Yellow Turban Army in the city was also completely mobilized by Guo Fei, and the Jingzhou army attacked the city wall several times, all in vain.

Cai Mao is the number one general in Jingzhou, but in the face of such a strong city, it still feels a little tricky, and now the army lacks the support of siege equipment, Liu Biao's purpose is to take Runan by surprise, it is said that the Yellow Turban is fighting with the Yuzhou Army, and there is no time to take care of other places, but there are fierce generals like Guo Fei in the Yellow Turban Army.

Anyway, there are only a few thousand Yellow Turban defenders in the city, but the Jingzhou army has more than 10,000 horses.

The siege battle was in full swing, and under the cover of chariots, the Jingzhou army began to dig tunnels, intending to attack Shangcai City from under the city and seize the city.

Half a month later, Pingyu, who had been besieged for more than a month, was finally broken by the Yellow Turban, Guan Yu took advantage of the chaos to lead the soldiers and horses out of the siege and fled back to Peiguo, Guo Da showed a happy smile on his face.

And in Shangcai City, where Guo Fei is located, the siege battle has also entered the link of zuihou, and the Jingzhou army once again climbed the city wall and firmly occupied it, creating an opportunity for the robe behind him to climb the city, and the Yellow Turban Army swore to fight back.

Suddenly, in the city of Shangcai, there were bursts of fighting, it turned out that the Jingzhou army dug through the tunnel, attacked the city, and the unprepared Yellow Turban Army was killed by the Jingzhou army. The city gate was wide open, and the Jingzhou army rushed in.

Guo Fei in the city saw that the general trend had gone, and led the soldiers to break through with a pale face and rushed to Guo Da in Pingyu.

Before the arrival of the Jingzhou army, the Yellow Turban Army had achieved its strategic goal, and Guo Fei was not blamed after returning back, but was rewarded by Guo Da.

Jia Rong, who was far away in Chang'an, showed a smile on his face after seeing the information in his hand, captured the grassland, and built the city at a critical time, if the princes of the Central Plains raised troops to attack, it was extremely unfavorable to the development of the Xiliang army, Jia Rong believed that as long as there was a year, the three cities on the grassland could begin to see the scale, with cement, these cities did not need to be too thick, they could be very strong, the soldiers on the grassland were not good at attacking the city, Jia Rong built the city in order to gather the herdsmen on the grassland to live together, easy to govern.

The Xianlian Pavilion in Yuzhou has long become an empty shell under Jia Rong's order, the personnel can retreat at any time, and it has developed for many years, with the help of the Xianlian Pavilion, the intelligence system of the Xiliang Army has long been perfected, even if it does not rely on the Xianlian Pavilion, it can still grasp the latest developments in Yuzhou.

A road to the grassland is being built, the material used is cement, the captured Xianbei slaves work day and night, can only ensure food and clothing, behind them, is a soldier with a long whip, as long as a little slack, the soldier is unceremonious, although the Xiliang army peacefully solved the grassland, the fate of these captives is tragic, but also sounded the alarm for the tribes on the grassland, as strong as Murong Feng, all defeated by the hands of the Xiliang army, not to mention the weak grassland tribes.

Jizhou Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan Youzhou Gongsun Chan confronted each other in Yi County, and the two armies fought for more than a month with casualties to each other, and they all stood still.

There was a brief silence in Yuzhou, Jingzhou Liu Biao occupied the land of the three counties, held on to the Yellow Turban in Shangcai City, the Yanzhou army occupied the Liang State of Chen State, spying on Peiguo, Yingchuan County was well defended, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, Yuan Shu's Yangzhou army captured the four counties and did not attack again, outside of these four counties, they were all occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

The people of Yuzhou have long been panicked, the princes have been fighting endlessly, but in the end it is the people who suffer, the displaced people have fled to Jingzhou and Xuzhou and other places that have not been affected by the war, the people are very simple, as long as they can survive, they will not put their heads on the waistband of their trousers to rebel.

Sun Ce saw the chaos in Yuzhou, Jingzhou sent troops, led his elite soldiers to attack Jiangxia, Jiangxia fell, Liu Biao's energy at this time was all focused on Yuzhou, He had paid attention to Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and under the anger, he sent troops to Jiangxia.

The Jiangdong army is brave and good at fighting, the Jingzhou army is also the elite, the two armies can not hold each other in Jiangxia, this time the army is the Jingzhou army general Huang Zu, who is quite strategic, and martial arts, every time he fights is the first soldier, several times on the city wall.

The princes of the Central Plains, except for Xuzhou, were all caught in the war.

In the second year of Xingping, the Yanzhou Army, under the leadership of Cao Ren, waved troops to the county.

The war made the people of Yuzhou miserable, a heavy snow in winter, the people froze to death and countless frostbitten people, the warehouse was empty, Liu Bei borrowed grain and grass from Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and barely survived the winter.

Cao Cao's Yanzhou army is really elite, where is the Yuzhou army the opponent, Cao Ren fought all the way to Qian County.

The Yanzhou army moved, and all parties in Yuzhou moved.

After occupying the land of the four counties, the Jingzhou army retreated after a short period of recuperation and approached the city of Pingyu, intending to regain the right to govern Runan.

A Guo Fei still gives Cai Mao a headache, not to mention the world-famous Guo Dahu.

Guo Da repeatedly ordered his generals to lead the soldiers to take turns to fight the Jingzhou army, and the two sides suffered casualties on each other.

Liu Bei couldn't be happy now, if he listened to Sun Qian's words and gave up Runan County at the beginning, at least the troops in his hands could reach 20,000 now, and Guan Yu's troops were all elite soldiers.

The situation completely turned passive, and Liu Bei could only secretly regret it.

At this time, the battle for Jiangxia was also in full swing, Sun Ce's troops were Jiangdong's elite soldiers, Liu Biao's Jingzhou army was also a heroic division, especially the Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu appointed by Liu Biao, and wanted to recapture Jiangxia, after all, the Jiangdong army was a guest army, and the transportation of grain and grass was mostly inconvenient, and the water thieves on the river were rampant, and the Jingzhou army was the base camp behind it, and the Jiangdong army was like a rootless duckweed, and after a plunder, he led the army to leave Jiangxia.

Occupying most of Runan County, Guo Da was full of confidence, Cao Ren had already sent troops to Qian County to compete with Liu Bei for control of Peiguo, and all he had to do was to expel the Jingzhou army in Runan County and Yuan Shu's Yangzhou army to determine the right to rule.

In Shangcai City, the offensive and defensive situation is different, the Jingzhou army that used to play an offensive role has become the defender of the city, and the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army is stationed outside Shangcai City, attacking day and night, with the supplement of Yuzhou siege equipment, the Yellow Turban has burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

Rushing to Yuzhou to fight, there was a shortage of food and grass, Cai Mao was also a hero, Liu Biao was fighting with the Jiangdong Army at this time, and he could not afford the huge consumption, and the situation in Yuzhou had stabilized, and it was difficult to have benefits to occupy, so he ordered Cai Mao to stick to Caicheng and not fight with the Yellow Turban.

At this time, there were still more than 12,000 Jingzhou troops in Shangcai City, Cai Mao was a famous general in Jingzhou, in the face of the attack of the Yellow Turban, he methodically ordered the soldiers to resist, and the city wall was gradually strengthened, and the Yellow Turban could not take the slightest advantage.

Zhang Han led 5,000 soldiers to help, and the strength of the Yellow Turban Army rose again, not only that, but Zhang Han also brought siege equipment.

The Yellow Turban Army that appeared under the city naturally did not escape Cai Mao's sight, for this protracted war, Cai Mao did not feel anxious at all, the Yellow Turban Army in front of him was more than a step higher than the elite of the rebels led by the so-called great sage and good teacher, but Liu Biao's appointment of Jiangxia Taishou made Cai Mao a little disliked, the original Jiangxia Taishou was a member of Cai's family, after Sun Ce's sneak attack on Jiangxia, Taishou died in battle, Huang Zu appointed by Liu Biao secretly belonged to Kuai Yue, Cai Mao did not understand what Liu Biao meant, Since Jia Rong's incident in Jingzhou, Liu Biao has suppressed the Cai family in many ways, and the Cai family's control in the army has become less and less, and the Jiangxia incident has made the strength of the Cai family and the Kuai family suddenly different.

The 5,000 people led by Zhang Han are the capital of Guo Da who has dominated the world for many years, and every soldier is the kind that is strong and does not want to die in battle, and the martial arts of these soldiers are also selected from nearly 200,000 yellow turbans, completely serving as the main force of the attack, and repeatedly attacking the city wall.

Guo Da attaches great importance to the elite of the Yellow Turban, the weapons are equipped with the most haode, the armor is the most haode, and even the meals on weekdays are the most haode, and he also hopes to drive the Jingzhou army out of Yuzhou and take the opportunity to restore his strength.

The next day, Zhang Han led a thousand Yellow Turban troops to provoke the Jingzhou army, and two hundred cavalry were also brought out of the city by him.

"Report, the Yellow Turban Army is inviting battle outside the city!" The herald walked into Cai Mao's big tent.

Cai Mao's brows furrowed slightly, although the two sides had had many field battles before, but at this time, when the Yellow Turban Army was on the offensive, they led troops to invite them to fight.

"Probe!" Cai Mao said lightly.

"Pass the order, let the generals of all departments in the army come to the big tent of the Chinese army!"

The news of the Yellow Turban's invitation to fight outside the city spread all over the Jingzhou Army camp, and the soldiers were all rubbing shoulders, wanting to have a big fight with the Yellow Turban, and the Jingzhou Army had suffered little loss in defending the city for many days, but the generals were holding their breath and wanted to regain face.

"The Yellow Turban Army behaved abnormally and even invited to fight, what do you think?"

Ask for all support, after reading, everyone will see if there is a vote in their hands that they have not voted, whether it is a monthly ticket or a red ticket, even if they vote, they will continue together.
