Chapter 141: Crusade against Yuan Shu
In February of the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao, who represented the imperial court, met with Liu Bei, Mu of Xuzhou, and Mu Baitu of Yangzhou to raise troops and crusade against Yuan Shu, who was proclaimed emperor in Shouchun!
Fortunately, the white map is okay, and the "very restrained" one is only sending troops to Anhui.
Considering the special terrain from Wankou to Wancheng, Yuan Shu even ignored him a little...... As long as you concentrate on facing Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two-sided attacks first.
Xuzhou Ma Bujun led the troops with Liu Bei personally, and raised troops from Xiapi, passing Xuyi, and pressing Zhongli;
The naval army took Guan Yu as the general, starting from Hongze Lake, passing through Sanhe to Fanliang Lake, that is, Gaoyou Lake in later generations, and went south by water to attack Guangling.
Along the Huai River from west to east, the four big cities are Shouchun, Zhongli, Xuyi and Huaiyin, and between Xuyi and Huaiyin, is the Hongze Lake with rich water veins.
Now Liu Bei wants to attack Shouchun on the one hand, and on the other hand, he does not forget to recover Guangling County, which has been controlled by Yuan Shu for a long time, so he divides his troops into two routes.
In contrast, Cao Cao's attack on Shouchun had to be more tortuous, and he needed to attack Runan first.
And Bai Tu showed no sincerity, everyone knew that the troops were sent by land from Anhui City, because of the existence of Dabie Mountain, only the north to Shiting, Jiashi Road - this area is easy to defend and difficult to attack for both sides, even in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Wu are here to surrender by fraud, and it is a big fight of suspicious soldiers, and there is no winner or loser!
Yuan Shu was also angry enough, originally after Yuan Shu became emperor, the first thing he wanted to tear was Bai Tu, and now the Zhong family is also the only force that officially criticizes Bai Tu......
However, now Bai Tu didn't use too much force, but Cao Cao and Liu Bei didn't mean to "return to obedience" at all, and even jumped up to fight him!
However, Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor is not without benefits, at least his hundreds of thousands of troops are all buffed because of the "founding of the country", and the generals at all levels of the army have also greatly improved their strength because of the identity of the "founding hero......
Normal official promotions can promote the transformation of military talismans and official seals, not to mention the status of such a prominent "founding hero"?
Even if the Dazhong Dynasty of Yuan Shu has a lower level of "founding the country", after all, it also occupies Huainan and a small part of the Central Plains as the country's land, which is a rich land, and there is also a jade seal that is known as carrying the mandate of heaven.
Ji Ling, who was originally at the peak of gilding, was directly promoted to Jinyu at the founding ceremony because he was awarded the title of "Che Cavalry General......
After all, Ji Ling can be regarded as a fierce general, and even that Liu Xun was forcibly reached Jinyu because he was named a "general"!
Liu Xun's talisman before, but it was only through the light of the troubled times that it reached the gilded ......
The tens of thousands of recruits who were originally squeezed out of manpower were not weaker than the elite army after getting the bonus of the founding number.
The 30,000 elite soldiers have directly reached the level of a hundred battle divisions......
The negative impact of the military's morale, which was originally caused by last year's consecutive defeats, has also been swept away.
Even the various cities in the territory of Dazhong, although the people's morale has not improved, but ...... Under the BUFF of "Founding the Country", because of the increase in the base of the city in all aspects, you can get an effect similar to the increase of people's hearts!
And it is undeniable that for the grassroots civil and military forces under Yuan Shu, the degree of loyalty has indeed increased significantly.
After all, they don't have an accurate understanding of the sinister situation, but ...... The benefits they received from the founding of the country were already in front of them.
In the Huainan Army, many grassroots nobodies who were one or two gradients weaker than Song Xian and others were all made captains or even partial generals at this time, and were promoted to gilded ......
To some extent, Yuan Shu was not stupid - compared to the price he had to pay to become emperor at this time, he did not necessarily earn, but at least it was not a blood loss.
Yuan Shu in history, eager to be the emperor, also has the intention of taking the opportunity to integrate the interior and appease people's hearts, but in this world of Cheng Ji, the performance is more simple and rude!
In addition, Yuan Shu himself didn't expect that the effect would be so good......
It is said that now that the Han family is not dead, at this time, officials from the Han family are still used in the Han land and under their command to forcibly establish Dazhong, and the effect of the founding of the country will be suppressed by the luck of the Han family.
Although there was such a thing as self-reliance on behalf of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang did not leave a strategy back then, and Yuan Shu did not know how much it would be suppressed before, but now it seems that it ...... Shouldn't the inhibition be too big? The Han dynasty has weakened to this point?
And so it is!
NORMALLY SPEAKING, WITH THE REMNANTS OF THE HAN FAMILY'S CURRENT LUCK, YUAN SHU SPLIT THE EARTH AND OPENED THE COUNTRY, IT SHOULD ONLY BE THAT THE BUFFS IN ALL ASPECTS WILL BE SUPPRESSED, AND WILL NOT DIRECTLY REFLECT ON THE ONCE-IN-A-CENTURY DROUGHT.
However, because of the arrangement of Xi Zhicai during his lifetime, the luck of the Han family was overdrawn and at the same time, it was concentrated on the aspect of "drought......
And there is no chance of rehearsal for this kind of thing, and Xi Zhicai only understood this before he died.
In order for others not to see his death, and for the sake of not wanting to see other people's grief, Xi Zhicai did not notify anyone at that time, and finally wanted to notify Cao Cao, but it was too late.
Yuan Shu was indeed decisive in this regard - after discovering that the founding of the country was "profitable", he immediately dried up and overdrafted.
He is a general and a general...... It's been sealed!
In the Han Dynasty, the highest military attache in peacetime was the "Tai Lieutenant", and the "Che Cavalry General" was only set up in the national war, which would be set up in wartime and stepped down after the war, and the "Great General" was dedicated to the ministers, and normally no emperor would take the initiative to confer the title of general.
And Yuan Shu, who cares about those?
If it is useful, tap the overdraft as soon as possible...... It is the same as his attitude towards manpower and material resources under his rule.
Sustainable development? No, as long as I overdraft fast enough, the backlash won't be able to catch up with me!
In this way, Yuan Shu was really beaten out of a wave of lingering.
In the face of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's attack, Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to garrison Zhongli, and Guangling and Runan were both fortified and clear, delaying as much as possible......
This road led by Liu Bei personally is the smoothest way to Shouchun, as long as you break through Zhongli, you can basically touch the range of Shouchun!
Therefore, Yuan Shu's plan was to defeat this army first, and then spread his hands to deal with other soldiers and horses.
As for Wancheng......
Yuan Shu did not increase his troops at all, but just let the general ...... Liu Xun, who is also the Taishou of Luling, coordinates the dispatch by himself.
Liu Xun is undoubtedly a senior general under Yuan Shu's account, although his prestige in the army is slightly lower than that of Ji Ling, but Liu Xun is a real scholar from a clan, not a wild man like Ji Ling, and his selfishness is also relatively heavy.
Faced with Jiangdong's attack on Anhui, Liu Xun ...... The backhand is to increase troops and build a wall on the stone road, looking like he is going to meet the enemy on the stone road, and he doesn't care about the question of whether Anhui City is lost!
