Chapter 842: Yuan Shao's headwind reversal plan
Once the communication is completely cut off, take advantage of the information gap between the warring parties to create the most favorable situation for their own side and achieve a brilliant victory, which I call 'information warfare' - excerpt from "Quotations of Wang Xuan's Holy Master"
Here, Guan Yu trained the new army outside the city, practicing non-stop every day, a siege exercise in the morning, and summarizing and adjusting in the afternoon, which was in full swing.
On the other hand, under the auspices of Wei Yan and with the perfect cooperation of Zhai Lu, urgent letters of urging were sent out according to the distance of the city, so that the reinforcements could arrive in Nanpi City at different times, so that the surrender work could be carried out smoothly.
Reinforcements from the five towns of Zhangwu, Fuyang, Gaocheng, Yangxin, and Qiantong arrived in Nanpi one after another, either just in time for Guan Yu's 'siege' in the morning, or calm outside the city in the afternoon, but without exception, all disappeared after entering Nanpi.
Nanpi was like a bottomless pit, silently, slowly devouring the entire Bohai County's 50,000 troops, until Yuan Shao sent two waves of messengers from the Ganling base camp in a row, all of which disappeared without a trace.
Yuan Shao's eyes were red as he looked at the battle reports and letters for help placed on the table in front of him, only to feel that the sky was spinning for a while, and the figure that had just stood up half of it shook, and fell to the seat again with a 'poof'.
"Lord!"
"What's wrong with you, lord!"
A group of civil and military people shouted in fright, and Xu You, who was the closest, hurriedly ran up to help Yuan Shao, Yan Liang immediately grabbed Yuan Shao's wrist and crossed over with a bang.
"Poof!" A mouthful of purple-black blood spurted out of Yuan Shao's mouth, all of which sprayed on the table in front of him, splashing on the letter and slowly spreading.
"Lord!" Yan Liang was frightened and hurriedly collected his anger.
"It's okay, ahem, ahem." Yuan Shao lowered his head, raised his hand and waved, his voice was dry and hoarse, he slowly raised his head, wiped his hand on the corner of his mouth without any manners, and forced himself to show a smile, he knew that at this time, he couldn't have an accident, not to show a panicked look, even if he was panicked now.
He is the largest family of the Han Dynasty, too aware of the family's code of conduct, this is a group of the world's most talented people of the collection, thousands of years of inheritance, long history, profound heritage, the history of the Han Dynasty compared to it, are too short, than the Han inheritance is more ancient, throughout the world, no less than 100 families.
Such a long historical inheritance makes them high-spirited and confident, but at the same time, they do not have much sense of identity with the Han Dynasty, just as the Chinese always despise a certain imperialism without history.
Therefore, in the eyes of these families, whether the Han Dynasty exists or not, has little influence on them, without Zhou and Qin, without Qin and Han, without Han, there will be other dynasties that unify the world, and even if these dynasties are renewed from generation to generation, they are all the same.
Now, the reason why these families in Hebei support him Yuan Shao is nothing more than that Yuan Shao has the hope of dominating the world, even so, many families are betting on two or three families to ensure that the change of dynasty has no impact on their own families.
In this way, the support given to him by these families is only a part, and it is impossible to tie his family firmly to him Yuan Shao, and he himself does not feel qualified to let these families belong to him 100%.
And now, he just wanted to destroy Liu Bei, but before he could do it, he was hit so hard under his rule.
Youzhou Gongsun Zan sent troops, and Jixian County was lost.
Liu Bei's navy sent troops, and Hejian County and Zhongshan Kingdom were lost.
LΓΌ Bu of Hanoi sent troops, and Taiyuan County was lost.
Zhang Ji of Henan sent troops, and Yecheng guarded the four gates tightly, and did not dare to act rashly.
Now, even the Bohai County where he started has been lost, and the whereabouts of his third son, Yuan Shang, are unknown.
The huge northern overlord lost most of his territory almost overnight, and now only half of Jizhou is left under his control, Qinghe County, Wei County, Zhao State, Julu County, Changshan State, and the southern part of Anping Kingdom.
Even these places are only theoretically controlled, but they are really precarious under Liu Beijun's military peak, and they may have nothing to do with themselves in a few days.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed abruptly, and he Yuan Shao saw that he was crumbling from the number one overlord in the north, his eyes swept over the civil and military ministers below, and many people's eyes had begun to flicker.
He knew that as long as he showed his defeat at this time, these people from the family would definitely not mind selling themselves at a good price for Liu Bei, even if they knew that Liu Bei didn't like the strength of the family to be too strong.
After all, now that Liu Bei has become a great trend, he has the name of the Han family, and he married the princess of Emperor Ling, and the inheritance of the Han family can be said to be justified.
Even if it is the Yuan family, they will not want to completely turn their faces with Liu Bei, so it's a big deal to endure it.
There is a saying: endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, and endure until Liu Bei dies for only twenty or thirty years, and the next emperor may not be hostile to the family.
Besides, relying on the talents of the family, as long as it is not destroyed, as long as the inheritance is still there, sooner or later there will be a day when it will come out, even if it lasts for another two hundred years, it is nothing for many families with a history of thousands of years, only seven or eight generations.
Therefore, he Yuan Shao must be calm now, he still has 200,000 elites in his hands, and Ganling still has enough troops to eat grain and grass for a year, as long as he goes over, I believe that he will be able to see hope, whether it is Cao Cao, or Yuan Shu, or other princes, he definitely does not want to see Liu Bei's family dominate, he still has hope.
In an instant, countless thoughts passed through his mind, and he forcibly suppressed his chest and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm angry." β
"This weaver is a good plan, taking advantage of the fact that our army is assembled and the counties and counties are empty, they divided their troops to attack me in several ways, but let him achieve some achievements."
"However, these are just a flash in the pan, the forces are so scattered, as long as they are broken individually."
Yuan Shao showed a very confident smile, I don't know if he was injured or angry, his face was a little redder than usual, his eyes crossed the faces of the civil and military officials, and he asked with a smile: "Do you really think that the 40,000 troops in Lingxian County can resist my real 200,000 elites!?" β
"It's a ridiculous joke!"
"The 40,000 main forces that are head-on restraining our army have been wiped out, what Guan Yu, but only 20,000 soldiers and horses, what navy governor Gan Ning, and only 10,000 sailors, in front of our army, they are not like ants being crushed at once!"
"To fight the world, you don't just rely on intrigues and tricks, you still need real hard power!"
"The strength is not good, no matter what kind of flowers are made, they can't withstand the autumn wind, and it will be a withered fate immediately!"
"Gentlemen, you are willing to sweep the universe with me Yuan!"
