Cha Mao did not have to retreat from the Nanyang naval army, nor did he order the pursuit of the battleship to be flexible. Moreover, there are many Nanyang naval forces, and it is impossible for Jingzhou naval forces to be annihilated one by one. And the water can be said to be the territory of the Nanyang Water Army, the Nanyang Water Army must have already figured out the water consumption clearly, and Cai Mao has led the Jingzhou Water Army for many years, so he naturally knows that even if he fights on such a small river as the water consumption, he can't be careless, if he accidentally encounters a reef or undercurrent, the consequences are serious.

Therefore, after the retreat of the Nanyang naval army, Cai Mao led the Jingzhou naval army to break through the Hengjiang iron cable arranged by Huang Fuhong and returned to the Han River, and Huang Fuhong had already retreated to the upper reaches of the Han River during the war between the two sides.

Jingzhou Navy and Nanyang Navy fought in the shoulder water battle, the result of this battle can be said to be that both sides have achieved their respective goals, all the warships of the Nanyang Navy were destroyed, only the booklets, yachts and other ships remained. Although there is a bit of a gap with what Cai Mao said before the war, the total annihilation of the Nanyang Navy is a bit different, but the goal has been achieved. At the very least, the Nanyang Navy no longer has the ability to confront the Jingzhou Navy in a big river like the Han River, and the Nanyang Navy can only defend in a not so wide river such as Xiaoshui, if it is to assist Zhang Xiu's army to attack Jingzhou, it will not have such ability.

Cai Mao's goal of defeating the Nanyang Navy and leaving Zhang Xiu's army incapable of assisting Zhang Xiu's army in attacking Jingzhou has been achieved. And the Nanyang Navy is here. The purpose was to inflict heavy damage on the Xiangyang naval army, and defeated the Jingzhou naval army with eight warships. As a result, there were only six ships left in the Jingzhou Navy. The purpose was clearly achieved.

And for the Nanyang Navy Army, which has been in the new army for a year, this battle is not bad, although it is the soldiers of the Jinfan Battalion who really play a role. If Gan Ning had not led them to block Zhang Yun's subordinates, if Zhang Yun's subordinates and Cai Mao's subordinates had succeeded in encircling them, I am afraid that the Nanyang Navy would have been defeated, and even if they succeeded in setting fire, they would not be able to escape the joint encirclement of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Before the start of the war, both sides wanted to completely annihilate the enemy's warships, and Gan Ning decided to kill the enemy. It's a pity that the Jingzhou Navy has too much money, and the Nanyang Navy can't do its best. Let the Jingzhou Navy leave six boats, and they left the army to garrison the Hanshui defense line.

In this way, Zhuge made the original plan. The sneak attack on Xiangyang and the total annihilation of Xiangyang County in Jingzhou were unsuccessful. The reason for this is not that Zhuge Jin underestimated Jingzhou's strength. There is also Jingzhou itself with a hand. Xiangyang silently built a strong city in the world, so that the Huangfu Hong's sneak attack could not be made.

Cai Mao, who commanded incompetently on land combat, turned into a dragon as soon as he arrived in the water. This is the reason why Zhuge Jin's strategy cannot be fully accomplished.

And these six water battles are not completely without benefits to Nanyang, in addition to creating the Jingzhou Water Army, the Xiaoshui River has also become the territory of the Nanyang Water Army, and the Jingzhou Water Army only dares to haunt near the mouth of the Xiaoshui River, and does not dare to go deep, for fear of being ambushed by the Nanyang Water Army.

In this way, Yuan Shu's army could no longer transport grain in Xinye and Di County, but could only move south to the area around the mouth of the Xiaoshui River to be protected by the Jingzhou Navy to transport grain, so that the distance of transporting grain was undoubtedly much farther. Fortunately, Wen Ping commanded the army to surround Fancheng, otherwise Huang Xu could send troops to attack Yuan Shujun's grain route at any time.

After the naval battle, the battle of Nanyang fell into a stalemate, and Zhuge did not do his best to force back two armies that entered Kou Nanyang in one fell swoop.

In terms of Yuan Shu, the grain road of the army was lengthened. Moreover, from time to time, it would be attacked by the Jinfan battalion led by Gan Ning, and many additional manpower were dispatched to protect the grain road, resulting in an attack on Wancheng that was even weaker than before. It must be known that Wancheng at this time has been operated by Zhang Xiu for several years, and it can be described as a first-class fortified city of the Han Dynasty, which is not much better than the previous Chang'an and Luoyang, and the city can also be equipped with thunderbolts and other sharp weapons. The materials for defending the city are abundant, and with the command of the general Zhang Liao, it is unlikely that Yuan Shujun will take Wancheng for less than a year and a half.

Wancheng is difficult to attack, and it is not easy for Jingzhou to take the city, and it is also equipped with a thunderbolt car to defend the city. There are also abundant materials in the city to defend the city, and the Jingzhou army, which is not very powerful, has also been attacking Fancheng for a long time.

In this way,; Fang's ideas are different. Zhang Liao, Zhong Xuan, Zhuge Jin and others are naturally happy to see such a situation, after all, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for them, as long as they wait until Zhang Xiu returns to the teacher, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are not opponents.

And Liu Biao began to retreat, originally he also wanted the two sides to join forces to attack the empty Nanyang, it must be like a bamboo, and then after taking the southwest two sides of Nanyang, there will be Yuan Shu in Wancheng against Zhang Xiu's revenge, he can calmly send the water and land armies to advance together. Attack Hanzhong from Shangyong. However, under the stalemate of the war, Liu Biao's wishful thinking did not start. At this time, if you want to protect the grain of Yuanshu, you will not lose. It is necessary to besiege Fancheng, and it is difficult for Liu Mu to divide his troops to take all the counties of Nanyang. Although stealing chickens has not yet been eaten, offending the owner of the chicken is a big loss for Liu Biao, but at this time Liu Biao's regret is useless, so he has the idea of retreating, hoping to return to Xiangyang County before Zhang Xiu returns to the division to reduce losses.

As for Yuan Shu, he saw that he could not attack Wancheng for a long time. began to secretly annoy the front-line soldiers for not giving their strength. Previously, Han Sui sent a letter asking them to send troops to attack Zhang Xiu together, and Yuan Shu wanted to personally lead the troops to boost morale. However, because there was a bigger thing waiting for him to do, he sent Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, two of the most powerful generals, to lead the troops together.

At this time, the Yuan Mansion of Shouchun, Yuan Shu invited all the important civil and military forces left in Shouchun City, everyone listened to the strange heart, Yuan Shu has built a mansion in Shouchun City for several months, if it is an ordinary mansion, everyone does not think it is strange, but the house built by Yuan Shu is not the house of ordinary ministers, but the house of the emperor, in other words, the palace, but Yuan Shu did not say it clearly, and everyone did not dare to say it.

At this time, in the newly built Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shu sat high on the main seat, and as soon as the civil and military came in, it was inappropriate, and the design of the Yuan Mansion was exactly the same as the palace of the Han Emperor in Chang'an and Luoyang City before it was burned down.

After everyone sat down with trepidation. I heard Yuan Shu speak: "The ancestor of the former Han Dynasty is just a pavilion chief, but there is the world; This calendar year is 400, the number of gas has been exhausted, and the sea is boiling. The fourth generation and three princes of my family, the people belong; I am a good person. Positive ninety-five. Why do you think so? ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, although Yan Xiang fought for power with Yuan Yin, but he was also a loyal minister to Yuan Shu, and now he heard that Yuan Shu was ready to be called the emperor, knowing that if the scarf was really called the emperor, he was afraid that the catastrophe would be in an instant, and Gu Yi said! “！“ Shuichuan Liuxi Zhou Houji accumulated virtue, as for King Wen, there are two out of three in the world, and he still serves Yin. Although the Ming family's family is expensive, there is no prosperity of Zhou; Although the Han room is small. It is not as violent as Yin. This is by no means feasible

Yuan Shu heard it and said angrily: "My surname Yuan is from Chen." Chen Nai Dashun after that. Bearing fire with earth is exactly what it should do. Another cloud: Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao. My word highway is in response to its prophecy. There is also the Jade Emperor of the country. If you are not a king, you will go against the heavens. I have made up my mind, and those who speak too much will be killed".

Yuan Shu has made up his mind, it is not something that Yan Xiang can stop, after speaking, he immediately announced the establishment of the Zhong clan, called himself Emperor Dacheng, set Feng Fangnu as the queen, and set up the eldest son Yuan Yao as the prince of the East Palace, and at the same time the vassals.

Yan Xiang heard this, and didn't dare to say anything more, but after a closer look, he saw Yuan Yin looking at him with a strange smile. Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao, was triumphant. Yan Xiang knew that it was these two people who instigated Yuan Shu to become emperor. Especially Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and he was made the prince of the East Palace, so Yuan Yao couldn't help but be moved.

Yan Xiang sighed and said secretly: "It's your stupidity that kills the lord." Once you become the emperor, you will be able to shoot wolves, tigers and leopards around! ”

At this time, Yuan Shu had already completed the vassals, and some of the people were excited, some were dazed, and some were worried, but no matter what everyone thought, they all came out together to bow to the new Dacheng Emperor Yuan Shu.

After Yuan Shu became the emperor, he immediately declared Zhang Xiu a thief, and because of Ji Ling's defeat before, he added Zhang Xun as a general, Ji Ling as a general, and the two immediately urged the soldiers and horses to capture Wancheng in order to ask Zhang Xiu for the thief. Yuan Shu's idea was that although he did not have a personal expedition, he would use the title of emperor to boost the morale of the front-line soldiers, and he would definitely be able to make the soldiers use their death force to capture Wancheng soon.

Yuan Shu did not take Liu Biao's identity as the royal family of the Han Emperor, and then named Liu Biao as Situ, leading the history of Jingzhou Thorn, Han Sui as the Great Sima, leading the history of Liangzhou Thorn, Sun Jian as Sikong, and leading the history of Yangzhou Thorn. After that, he explained some trivial matters before announcing his retirement from the dynasty.

The news of Yuan Shu's proclamation of the emperor spread quickly, and as soon as the news came out, it can be said that it shocked the world, especially the three dukes announced by Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Han Sui, and Sun Jian, who were even more shocked after hearing the news. Without thinking about it, Liu Biao and Sun Jian immediately drove Yuan Shu's envoy out of the country, and then immediately declared that they were traitors to Yuan Shu and severed all relations. Here, Han Sui had just withdrawn his troops from Pujin. Although it was a little late to hear this news, he immediately sent people to spread the word to the world and did not accept Yuan Shu's canonization. and disown all relations with it.

The three dukes canonized by Yuan Shu severed relations with him one by one, and Yuan Shao, who was far away in Hebei, did not relent. Immediately announced to the world, the identity of the head of the Ran Yuan family expelled Yuan Shu from the Yuan family, and the Yuan family had nothing to do with it.

The news reached Shouchun one by one, as if Yuan Shu had become a loner overnight. When Zhang Xiu heard the news that Yuan Shu was called emperor. was already in Chang'an, and he was still hesitant about how to deal with Yuan Shutun's 80,000 troops stationed under Wancheng. After hearing the news, Zhang Xiu laughed three times and said to everyone under his command: "Yuan Shu has brought about his own destruction, and the danger of Wancheng has been solved." ”

As Zhang Xiu expected, Liu Biao heard the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor, and in addition to immediately announcing that the world had cleared up the relationship with Yuan Shu, he also ordered Cai Mao and Wen Ping on the front line to withdraw their troops immediately. Liu Biao knew that if he attacked Zhang Xiu with Yuan Shu at this time, he would be mistaken for Yuan Shu's fellow party. Then it will attract the attack of the world's heroes. At the same time, Liu Biao's heart was also dark. There was still a hesitation that there was no reason to withdraw troops. Now as soon as Yuan Shu became emperor, he gave Liu Biao a justifiable excuse to withdraw his troops. After the Jingzhou army withdrew to Xiangyang County, Liu Biao immediately asked Cai Mao to lead the water army to garrison Hanshui, and wrote a letter to prepare with Zhang Xiu from what he said, wanting to reconcile with him.

When Liu Biaowang withdrew his troops, Huang Xu thought it was a ploy of Wen Ping, but later heard the news that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, and Huang Xu knew that Liu Biao really withdrew his troops. So he immediately went out of Fancheng and cut off the grain route for Zhang Xun and Ji Ling's army. Due to the absence of the Jingzhou Navy to help escort the escort, in less than a day, Huang Xu cut off Zhang Xun and Ji Ling's grain routes.

Under Wancheng, Zhang Xun and Ji Lingchu were surprised and delighted when they heard the news that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor. Naturally, joy is to be promoted, which is human nature. What was shocked was that he was shocked by Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor. However, both of them were military generals, and their knowledge was not as good as that of civilian officials, and they couldn't guess the consequences of being called emperor, so they announced the news to the whole army, and the morale rose sharply to attack Wancheng again.

Although the morale of the troops on the front line was greatly boosted when they heard the news of Yuan Shu's proclamation as emperor, the thunderbolts in Wancheng ruthlessly threw boulders no matter what the situation, crushing the attacks organized by Zhang Xun and Ji Ling again and again.

Zhang Xun and Ji Ling only commanded the army to attack for a few days, and one unfavorable news after another came. One of them is naturally that Zhang Xiu's army has returned to the division, and the army has arrived in Chang'an. The second news came that Yuan Shu's canonized Sangong Yiyi severed relations with Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling were naturally shocked when they heard it, and sure enough, the news came not long after. The news of Liu Biao's withdrawal came, and in less than a day, the news came that the grain road was cut off by Huang Xu.

Bad news came one after another, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling both realized that something was wrong, and now all the princes have severed relations with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu has become a lonely person, I am afraid that someone will come out and raise their arms and shout, I am afraid that the situation of the princes of the Eighteenth Road to discuss Dong will appear that day. At the same time, the two also received a letter from Yan Xiang, explaining the situation one by one, asking the two to withdraw their troops immediately, minimize the loss of soldiers, and withdraw to Shouchun as soon as possible.

Zhang Xun and Ji Ling themselves realized that something was wrong. Coupled with Yan Xiang's reminder, the two decided to cut down trees overnight and build a pontoon bridge on top of the water. Lead the army to retreat. During the period, although Gan Ning led the Nanyang naval army to attack, but Zhang Xun and Ji Ling regardless of the loss, they had to rush to build a pontoon bridge for the army to retreat, and finally the 80,000 army lost about 10,000 people before it successfully withdrew to the east bank of the water, and then immediately rushed to Shouchun, when Zhang Xiu's army returned to Wancheng, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling's army had withdrawn to Runan.

When Zhang Xiu returned to Wancheng, he immediately received the news that Cao Cao had given the princes of the world in the name of the Son of Heaven. The edict of the Son of Heaven listed Yuan Shu as a thief and asked the princes of the world to send troops to fight together. Of course, the object of the latter sentence is only a few princes connected to Yuan Shu's territory. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscles.
