Chapter 100: The Great Victory
"Urgent military situation, urgent military situation!"
In July, when the weather turned cooler, in the city of Qu'a, a Dubo riding a "war horse" galloped through the downtown area, but the city defense army in charge of public security did not remember the meaning of his blacklist - those who carry military intelligence, and they are not guilty of riding horses in the downtown area.
After all, the military information that needs to be sent by the herald is basically an emergency military situation, otherwise you can use Chengji to deliver the news, and you are not in a hurry.
Soon, this military situation has also been placed in front of Bai Tu's case, and Lu Bu, Lu Su, Chen Gong and others were also found by Bai Tu as soon as possible.
"It's the military situation in Xuzhou." Bai Tu saw that Lu Bu had also arrived, and immediately spoke.
Lu Bu, who was originally indifferent, also focused his attention when he heard the word "Xuzhou".
After all, Yuan Shu's attack on Xuzhou this time was aimed at Xiaopei as an outpost, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were both in Xiaopei.
And although Jiangdong is a little quiet now, because Yuan Shu has consciously blocked Huainan, Diao Chan has also been in Xiaopei.
"Little Peicheng breaks the ......"
As soon as Bai Tu finished speaking, he saw Lu Bu visibly nervous, and then Bai Tu smiled and said, "It's just a big victory." ”
Seeing Bai Tu's expression, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief - although he didn't know what it meant to break the city and "win a big victory", if Zhang Liao, Gao Shun or Diao Chan were lost, Bai Tu would not sell it like this!
"Last month, Hou Cheng and Wei Xu of Ding Yuan's old department colluded with the Xuzhou Shi clan with the intention of offering the city of Xiaopei and Pengcheng ......"
Hearing that Hou Cheng and Wei Xu actually rebelled, Lu Bu was very angry - but what the hard drive said was right, it was Ding Yuan's old department, and it had little to do with him Lu Bu!
"Fortunately, Song Xian, the general of his father-in-law, and Cao Bao of Xuzhou City, understood the righteousness, and under the lure of the rebel generals in the army and the sergeant clan in the city, they pretended to defect to the enemy and secretly reported to Wen Yuan and Liu Yuanjun......"
Song Xian, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng were all like-minded fox friends and dogs, and Cao Bao was the anti-Liu pioneer in Xuzhou City.
Therefore, it is expected that the two of them will be treated as "their own people" and be co-opted to sacrifice the city together.
However, unexpectedly, Song Xian and Cao Bao actually came to Infernal Affairs!
Song Xian's words, Bai Tu estimated that it was because of his earnestness and persuasion that he became reliable.
As for Cao Bao......
Bai Tu was also puzzled at first, but he also understood in a blink of an eye - originally Cao Bao was not long after Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou, and he offered the city of Lu Bu, and Liu Bei had no chance to win him over.
However, now after Lu Bu initially refused the position of Xuzhou pastor, he immediately came to Jiangdong, and Cao Bao obviously hated Yuan Shu too, and there was no buyer to sell Liu Bei for the time being.
And in Liu Bei...... Whether it is "buying people's hearts" or "giving kindness", after a long time, even Cao Bao was moved by it, and his mentality changed.
It's just that maybe the surface still can't be let go, and it's not good to work directly, which makes other anti-Liu Xuzhou scholars misunderstand.
Not only did Liu Bei take the opportunity to find out the spies in Pengcheng in a bright way, but also planned to make Zhang Liao and Gao Shun pretend to be in the scheme, causing Xiaopei to be taken away by Ji Ling, but in fact, under Guan Yu's suggestion, Weishan Lake was dug up.
Guan Yu is now under the blessing of the battle armor, when he fully attracts the power of the green dragon, he can promote the rapid condensation of water and gas, and it is the season of summer floods, Ji Ling entered the city on the night of the flood Xiaopei, the sergeant in the military camp suffered countless casualties, and fled overnight.
Ji Ling led the army to withdraw from Xiaopei and wanted to repair the terrain, but after a night and the flood finally receded, he found that Zhang Liao's "defeated army" stationed on the hill was attacking.
Gao Shun's trapping camp made it impossible for him to form an army, and Zhang Liao took the lead and killed Ji Ling.
Although Ji Ling is superb in martial arts, he can usually fight happily when he meets Zhang Liao, but at this time, he is running all night, not only is his own physical strength and spirit not in a state, but even the horsepower of the battle armor engine is a little insufficient.
On the other hand, after Zhang Liao cut off the Shuai Banner, the morale of the remnants of the 20,000 or 30,000 Huainan Army further declined, and Ji Ling's command range was also greatly reduced, and he was defeated by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses!
So far, Yuan Shu went north and south, and the attacks of the two armies all ended in failure.
Ji Ling could only return to Ruyin County in the north of Runan County first, gather the defeated army, and ask Yuan Shu for guilt on the one hand, and beware of Liu Bei's counterattack on the other!
But in fact, Liu Bei has no time to take care of it, although the water attack and fire attack are the strategy of defeating the strong with the weak, but the water and fire are ruthless, after the flooding of Xiaopei, even if there is a city Ji in the city to guard, and there are people in the villages outside the city to warn, but the victims still do not know how many, Liu Bei and Zhang Liao are searching for and rescuing the people, as well as assisting the people in post-disaster reconstruction.
Moreover, the roads were muddy and difficult to walk, and he was unable to counterattack Ruyin, at most, he took advantage of Yuan Shu's weakness to recapture the southern part of Xiapi County, Xuyi, and Huaiyin.
As for Yuzhou, not only were the people affected, but Xiao Peiji was already obviously dissatisfied, and Xiao Pei's popular will had been greatly reduced, but it had played a role in weakening the city's defenses, and the efficiency of the government decree had also been greatly reduced - this was the result of the people's disagreement.
Zhang Liao had told Guan Yu before that after this plan, he would withdraw from Xiaopei, who had no danger to defend.
After all, at this time, the city's defense was greatly reduced, and Zhang Liao didn't want to take the old department of the state and defend such a dangerous city.
Liu Bei also expressed his understanding of this, and according to the previous agreement, Zhang Liao would assist Liu Bei in attacking Huaiyin, a county south of the Huai River, under the rule of Xia Pi County, but geographically close to Guangling County.
After success, as long as you go south along the Hongze Lake, through the three rivers, Fanliang Lake, and Zhongdushui, you can arrive at the Guazhou ferry of Guangling County, Guangling County, and later Wang Anshi has a poem "Jingkou Guazhou is a water, and Zhongshan is only separated by a few mountains".
The "Guazhou" in the poem is the current "Guazhoudu", Jingkou...... Baitu has not yet been built, but now there is Dantu County on the riverside, just fifty or sixty miles east of Qu'a, not far from the location of the "Jingkou" site, and it is also the place where the Wu County Navy is knotted.
"A water room" naturally means just across the Yangtze River.
At that time, as long as the north and south are attacked, it will not be a problem to lay down Guazhou as a passage for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to return south, and even Yuan Shu will not do his best to stop Zhang Liao when his vitality is greatly damaged......
If there is only one port on the shore, it is impossible to defend alone, and to the north of Guazhoudu, not twenty or thirty miles is the county town of Guangling County, "Guangling City", the city is deep and the wall is thick, if you are dedicated to defense, you must attack it uncontrollably.
Therefore, unless you have the determination to conquer Guangling, or the naval army is far superior to Huainan, Guazhou has nothing to defend and can only retreat to Jiangdong.
Now the navy army in Jiangdong is definitely better than Huainan, but Baitu did not vigorously develop the navy like the historical Soochow, so it is not "far victorious".
"Father-in-law, Gongtai, you will send troops to meet Wenyuan and Zhongda when they come back, if Guangling is stubborn, then lead Wenyuan and Zhongda back, if Guangling sends troops...... Wait for the opportunity to take the city! ”
Although taking Guangling means taking the lead in the geographical competition of "Jiangdong vs Xuzhou", in order to avoid a vicious battle, Bai Tu still handed over the decision to the people on the front line.
