Chapter 488, Sun Jian's actions
Although Lu Bu is gone, the situation in Yanzhou has not changed, but has become more and more tense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lu Bu's departure was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Yuan Shu, making him lose face in front of his subordinates, especially those who opposed Lu Bu at the beginning, Yuan Shu felt uncomfortable when he saw them again, as if they were laughing at him all the time. In order to save his face, Yuan Shu immediately sent people to contact the Black Mountain Thief, Zhang Yan and Yu Fuluo, and asked them to come to help in the war.
The name of the fourth and third dukes, coupled with Yuan Shu's strong strength after inheriting the Yuan family, as well as the grievances between these people and Yuan Shao, made them easily accept Yuan Shu's suggestion, of course, except for Yu Fuluo's Hun cavalry, Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Thieves did not come. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yan went out of the mountain again and began to attack the counties of Changshan.
And the Black Mountain thieves, the previous time, when Yuan Shao's Northern Expedition to Liu Bei Yecheng was empty, under the inducement of Jizhou Mu Hushou appointed by Chang'an, under the leadership of Yu Poison and other leaders, they colluded with the army in Yecheng that was dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's rule for various reasons, captured Yecheng in one fell swoop, killed Wei County Taishou Licheng, and plundered Yecheng.
It's not that Yuan Shao doesn't pay attention to Yecheng, it's not that the people left behind are too incompetent, it's just that no one thought that this kind of thing would happen, the soldiers who stayed in Yecheng actually rebelled, even if Yuan Shao's sons and judges were in Yecheng, they could no longer drive out the black mountain thieves who entered the city, and even they had a crisis because the troops were too guarded. Fortunately, under the leadership of Tao Sheng, a small official of the Yellow Clan, the Black Mountain Thieves, temporarily protected Yuan Shao and the main family members of his subordinates from leaving, so that Yuan Shao's subordinates did not collapse.
That is, Yuan Shao Xinding Jizhou, Yecheng has not been Yuan Shao's notification center for a long time, otherwise, as long as each family completely places the private soldiers in the mansion of Yecheng, even if Yecheng is completely reversed, these deployed private soldiers can be suppressed when gathered. You must know that many of Yuan Shao's subordinates are from big families, and the reason why he was able to integrate Jizhou so quickly was because of the support of these people.
And the reason why the decision to give up attacking Yi County was also due to the instability of the rear, and Yuan Shao was very angry about this. After returning, he saw Ping'an's family, Feng Tao was promoted to Jianyi Zhonglang General, and then immediately led people to attack Yu Poison's lair in the mountains.
After Yu Poison occupied Yecheng and plundered, he knew that he couldn't hold it, and because he had traitors within him, he didn't catch the families of a few important people under Yuan Shao, so he entered the mountain again to claim the king and hegemony before Yuan Shao came back. But what he didn't expect was that Yuan Shao was determined to rectify his rule this time, and his soldiers were also the same enemy, so he directly broke through Yu Poison's lair in the mountains and killed several leaders of the Black Mountain Thieves. However, Yu Poison was luckier than in history, and fled in advance when he saw that the situation was not good, and he was nowhere to be found, only Jizhou Mu Hushou appointed by Chang'an was caught and killed by Yuan Shao.
The strength of the Black Mountain thieves was greatly damaged again, and they had to be honest for a while, this time when they heard Yuan Shu's call, some people were a little impatient, but they also knew that this time in Wei County would not be beneficial, so they aimed at Zhao Guo, and Zhang Yan was one south and one north, and Yuan Shao's hind legs were withdrawn behind his back.
Puyang became a meat grinder during this time, and countless soldiers went forward and followed here, but after Zang Hong got Yuan Shao's support, he always held it very steadily, until Yuan Shao personally arrived, stationed in Puyang, and the siege war stopped.
Because Armageddon is about to begin.
This kind of thing didn't happen at all in history, Yuan Shu's northward march was broken in front of Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao sent someone to assist at most, but in the game, the brothers really came to a big war.
Yuan Shao's soldiers are strong, Yuan Shu is a large number of generals, it can be said that after the Yellow Turban, the most powerful force is Yuan Shu, outside Puyang City, a big battle that lasted for several days.
Yuan Shao is no longer the lucky one in history, his strength has shrunk significantly, although he can block Yuan Shu's continuous attacks, it is still a little difficult. Especially Yu Fuluo, who had a grudge against him, slaughtered his subordinates, and it was even more unceremonious, and he came and went like the wind, without the advantage of the terrain, Yuan Shao was helpless at all. Because he had only trained cavalry for a few years, he was no match for the Huns at all.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao was not alone, at a critical time, Cao Cao, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines, finally came, not only came, but also brought Taishan Yingshao and Shanyang Yuan Yi, the two princes within Yanzhou, to help Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao's plan is self-evident, he wants to take this opportunity to clean up the nails inside Yanzhou, he usually has no chance, because he has to take into account Yuan Shao's reaction, but now, even if Yuan Shao understands Cao Cao's purpose, he can't say anything, but wants to thank him.
This is a naked conspiracy.
Even if these two people still have to return to their local posts after the war, it is unknown whether they can resist Cao Cao's continuous invasion after the strength is greatly damaged.
The original princes of Yanzhou, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin completely fell to Cao Cao's side, although Chen Liu's Zhang Miao had always been good to Cao Cao before, but he was more biased towards Yuan Shao, and now it has been occupied by Yuan Shu, Ying Shao is also biased towards Yuan Shao like Zhang Miao, not to mention Yuan Yi. Cao Cao was Xiang who solved these last two people and became a veritable Yanzhou assassin - and even further Yanzhou pastor.
Even the weak resist the strong, this is the only way to survive in troubled times, even if you want to be an enemy with Yuan Shao in the future, it will be a matter of the future, the current Cao Cao is unwilling to let Yuan Shu occupy Jizhou, otherwise, there is really no one who can resist Yuan Shu.
With Cao Cao's support, under the attack from both sides, Yuan Shu could only turn from attack to defense, and later had to retreat step by step, and the evacuated Dongjun entered Chenliu, and then was defeated by the desperate allied forces and retreated to Yuzhou. And Yufro, seeing that the situation was not good, had already taken his cavalry and walked away without taking a single cloud.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't dare to persecute too much, and after Yuan Shu retreated into Yuzhou, he stopped. Of course, Yuan Shao will not stay in Yanzhou for a long time, there are still thieves in the rear of Jizhou who are constantly harassing, Chen Liu naturally gave Cao Cao governance, and the Taishan County soldiers and Shanyang County soldiers suffered heavy losses in this battle, and they can no longer pose a threat to Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao moves quickly, he can completely take the opportunity to put the two in the air. Yuan Shao knew this, but he had no other way but to hold the disgusting thoughts of Cao Cao, and deliberately did not transfer the two away, anyway, Cao Cao did not dare to do anything to them.
In general, Yuan Shao was successful in this battle, laying down Yuan Shu's arrogance, making people see that Yuan Shu is not really so irresistible, and he also held his own territory.
And Yuan Shu, although he suffered heavy losses, he was not to the point of breaking his muscles and bones, but his prestige has been greatly reduced since then. The only bright spot is that he left enough soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and he did not let Liu Biao take the opportunity to cut off the back road and let Nanyang disappear.
Yuan Shu was defeated and began to recuperate, and Sun Jian, who had been dormant in Yingchuan for several years, took the opportunity to show his fangs.
Not long after Yuan Shu's defeat, Liu Feng learned through various channels that Sun Jian had sent people to quietly occupy several counties in eastern Yin, Henan.
For the first time since his injury and retreat, Sun Jian showed his fangs.
