Chapter 11 On Cao
Guo Jia seized the opportunity when the two of them were shaken, took out the letter from his arms, handed it to the knife and axe hand on the side, and the soldier gave it to Zhenrong.
The two of them looked dazed, and the six gods took the letter and read it casually.
Gradually, surprise appeared on his face, as if he did not believe it.
Zhen Rong was obviously moved by Zhang Lang's words in the letter, but he was still very cautious: "Who dares to guarantee that Zhang Lang's words are true or false, if he also comes to Liu Xuan's river crossing and demolishing the bridge, my brothers will die without a place to be buried." β
Guo Jia grasped their mentality very accurately, from Lord Liu to now calling him by his name, the minds of the two of them have begun to shake strongly. As long as you work harder, it's done.
Guo Jia took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said loudly: "The lord will do what he says, as long as the two of you agree to this matter, they will tell the world, how can my lord's trustworthy person be dishonest in the world?" β
The two looked at each other again, and finally seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the two of us will return to Guangling to stand on our own, and we are willing to marry Zhang Lang. β
Guo Jia's eyes flashed with an inscrutable look for a moment, and he felt relieved in his heart, but there was no joy of victory at all, which was expected for him. He nodded and said, "Of course." β
The three chatted again, and Guo Jia said goodbye and left.
Zhang Lang and Yuan Shu Xuyi held each other for a while.
At this time, there was news of joy and worry coming from Xuzhou. The good news is that when the general of the Yuan army, Qiao Rui, and the deputy general Liang Gang, led 50,000 troops to invade within 100 miles of Xuzhou, they were defeated by Gao Shun and led the troops in Lingbi, Qiao Rui was defeated, and Liang Gang was killed. With Li Feng, who failed to rob grain, gathered 40,000 remnants of the army, and stationed in Sizhou, in a dilemma.
The worry is that the war between Cao Ying and Lu Bu is coming to an end, and when Zhang Lang went out to Yangzhou, he freed up his manpower, transferred Xia Houyuan to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, and settled in Shanyang to watch Xuzhou's view. Despite its name as an ally, its ambitions are obvious. Fortunately, Gao Shun defeated Li Feng's troops in a hurry, otherwise Hou Yuan would take advantage of the situation and the consequences would be unimaginable.
It turned out that Cao Ying knew that Zhang Lang had captured Xuyi and was ready to attack Shouchun at any time, and he was very anxious and worried, because he knew that Zhang Lang was a giant dragon that had not taken off, as long as he was given a certain amount of space to play, at that time, the dragon battle in the air for three thousand miles would be the biggest obstacle for him to sweep the world. wanted to take the opportunity to invade Xuzhou, and committed Lu Bu Weiping. I wanted to divide half of the troops and let Xun Yu lead the troops against Lu Bu and fight Xuzhou again.
Cao Ying told the matter to the plan, Xun Yu said bitterly: "The general can't, in the past, it was said that Gaozu protected Guanzhong, Guangwu was based in Hanoi, deeply rooted in the world to control the world, advance can be attacked, retreat can be held, although there are difficulties, but in the end it will be a great cause." The general is the head of Yanzhou, and the river and Ji are important places in the world, and they are also the Guanzhong and Hanoi in the past. Now Lu Bu is not peaceful, Yuan Shaohu is based in Hebei, if Xuzhou is taken at this time, it is not enough to conquer it if there are more soldiers and horses, and if there are fewer soldiers, Lu Bu will be relieved, and Yanzhou will be in danger at that time. Xuyi to Xuzhou, fast horse but ten days, if Xuzhou can not be conquered, the lord is like a rootless Ping, where can I return? Now Tao Qian is dead, and Zhang Lang's prestige is very high. The people of Xuzhou, since they have already served Zhang Lang, will inevitably help Zhang Lang fight to the death. The lord abandoned Yanzhou and took Xuzhou, which is to abandon the big and the small, go to the original and seek the end, and be safe and vulnerable. Even if Yanzhou is pacified, when you think of enterprising Hebei, this is the place where the emperor started. May the Lord think twice. β
Cao Ying's face was gloomy, he didn't know what to think in his heart, his two little eyes were shining, and he brushed his sleeves and said: "Zhang Lang is a man of great talent and foresight in everything, if he doesn't take advantage of his wings to get rid of it, it will be a big disaster in the future." β
Xun Yu smiled and said confidently: "Lord, according to Zhang Lang's development route, it takes Xuzhou as the foundation, then Xuyi Shouchun, and then it will definitely go down to Jiangdong." Since the opening of Pangu, the majority of those who have become hegemons have been leveling the world from the north to the south, and there is no precedent for unification from the south to the north. Although the north has been in war for many years, the people are strong and hard-working, while the people in the south are indecisive, not resolute and hard-working, and more greedy for comfort. In addition, the Chinese land is from west to east, high and low, the north is more plains and plateaus, and the south is the river network vertical and horizontal. Huaxia is divided into three parts, with Guanzhong and Shu as the western wing, Shanxi, Wanluo, and Jingzhou as the central wing, and Youzhou, Jizhou, and Jiangdong as the eastern wing. Generally, the west flank is occupied first, and then the center flank is mapped to oppress the eastern flank. The troops from the middle flank are generally to pacify the western flank first, and then form a trend of oppression on the eastern flank. And the army from the east flank also occupied the west flank first, and then pressed south. Therefore, all the hegemony industry adopts the method of unifying the Central Plains from west to east and from north to south. It can be seen that Zhang Lang first occupied Xuzhou and then Tuhuainan, and fought Jiangdong, which was a self-defeating move, without the spirit of a bully. At most, let it become a prince of the land, not a climate. β
Cao Ying learned of Xun Yu's big talk, bowed his head and pondered, but he was still not relieved, and finally freed up 10,000 men and horses to send 10,000 troops to wait and see what happened.
After Zhang Lang learned the news, he immediately gathered to discuss the matter.
Cheng Yu led the troops with Zhang Lang to go on the expedition, not to mention that he was thin, and his skin was a lot darker, but it showed his refinement and wisdom eyes, and he was even more profound. After Lu Bu went, Cao Ying's biggest enemy would never be us, but Yuan Shao, and he knew it very well. As long as the lord sends a person who can speak well to complain about the past and is willing to join hands with him to break Yuan Shao, he will make the right choice between gains and losses. Judging from the fact that he only sent Xia Houyuan to lead 10,000 troops in Shanyang, you can know his intentions. β
Xu Shu is now more like a high-achieving graduate with strong ability, but less experience. Many things were only after Tian Feng Chengyu was published, and he dared to express his opinions, although he was as young as Guo Jia, he lacked his atmosphere and self-confidence. Guo Jiasheng's surname is not restricted, and he is often in danger, and his courage is mostly changed. And Xu Shu is just the opposite, his surname is loyal, he does things step by step, and he is stable.
However, after so many things under Zhang Lang's account, his confidence has slowly accumulated, and at this time, he also took Cheng Yu's words and said: "What Mr. Cheng said is very true, Cao Ying was a hero in troubled times, since he was promoted to filial piety and honesty at the age of twenty, he became the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, and then he was reappointed as the commander of Dunqiu, and then he was recruited as a councilor, showing that he was very good at scheming and adaptability. Demonstrated strong military operational capabilities. Soon after, Dong Zhuo's rebellion occurred, and although Cao Ying was listed as a captain of the Xiao Cavalry, he fled back to Chenliu overnight to recruit volunteers. In the first year of the first peace, more than a dozen princes took Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance to attack Dong Zhuo, Cao Ying acted as the general of Fenwu, and after Dong Zhuo's tiger prison and Bishui were lost, they burned Luoyang, and the emperor fled to Chang'an. Cao Ying sent troops to chase after him alone, and was defeated by Lu Bu in Xingyang. Despite this, the princes who are more concerned about the safety of the people than those who do not want to make progress in order to protect their strength. Soon the alliance of princes was dissolved, and Cao Ying led his troops into Hanoi, after which he attacked the Black Mountain thieves Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Zhenggu, Xiongnu Yu Fuluo, and also defeated one million Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and surrendered 300,000 people as Qingzhou soldiers. The strength is unprecedented. Then Cao Ying defeated Yuan Shu again, crusaded against Xuzhou, and slaughtered the people of the counties, perhaps this was his biggest defeat since he started his army, and was later defeated by the lord's design. At the same time, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong joined forces with LΓΌ Bu to launch a rebellion, and most of Yanzhou fell into LΓΌ Bu's hands, and the two sides fought against each other for several months and then quit due to famine. Now it seems that Lu Bu can't stop Cao Ying's footsteps. This man is proficient in all kinds of humanities and martial arts, and he is definitely a hero in troubled times. β
Xu Shu is like a few treasures, talking about Cao Ying, he is indecisive, there are a lot of long articles, and his eyes flashed with admiration, it seems that he also admires Cao Ying very much.
Zhang Lang has read history books and also has some understanding of Cao Ying, but after Xu Shu said it, he felt a little different. There is something bad in my heart, who likes his subordinates to praise others in front of him, but fortunately he is open-minded and doesn't care about it.
Cheng Yu also felt the same way, and sighed: "Cao Ying must be the biggest opponent in the world, this person is very atmospheric, extremely talented, both political and military vision has uniqueness, and he is even more eclectic, only useful, although cruel but not tyrannical, ruthless but not ruthless, with all the conditions for great things." β
Zhang Lang listened to the cold, not only Xu Shu admired it so much, but Cheng Yu was also amazed, and his understanding of Cao Ying deepened one layer later. Why can't I feel it when I was under Cao Ying? Fortunately, I am from the 21st century, otherwise I don't want to fight, just to say that these heavyweights who stomp the world will be shocked.
At this time, a spy came in to report that Chen Ji, a subordinate of Yuan Shu, led his troops to plunder the money and grain in the nearby townships and kill the people.
Cheng Yu's eyebrows jumped, and his face was happy: "Yuan Shu has no food?" β
Xu Shu also said excitedly: "It is very likely that Huainan will be plagued with locusts again this year, and Yuan Shu's army will be poorly supplied. β
Zhang Lang was also overjoyed, thinking about your Yuan Shu and doing a lot of evil, this time let's see what other immortal tricks you have. He said: "Then as long as we close the door and don't go out for half a decade, Yuan Shu will not fight and be chaotic." β
Cheng Yu and Xu Shu laughed in unison.
Then he discussed some things and decided to go to Xuzhou alone, so that Chen Jue sent Cao Yingyan to discuss Yuan Shao's affairs. Chen Qi is weak and sickly, but in Xuzhou, after taking some of Yang Rong's supplements, his body has improved greatly, and he is getting stronger and stronger. And when I thought of the offensive and defensive battles in Xuzhou, Chen Qi and his son were able to encircle Cao Ying and Lu Bu, which shows that he is an excellent diplomat and has his own uniqueness, Jiang is still old and spicy.
In the next time, Zhang Lang closed the city. Wait for your time.
However, it was said that Yuan Shu had 150,000 soldiers and horses, and said that the cost of grain was huge, and Huainan was plagued with locusts all over the place this year. The sergeant complained. Yuan Shu had no choice but to urge the army to fight quickly, but Zhang Lang just closed the door. At the same time, Yuan Shu received the news of the defeat of Qiao Rui and Liang Gang, and he couldn't imagine that his three passers-by were frustrated again and again and couldn't enter, and his face turned blue with anger on the spot, and he ordered to prepare to forcibly attack Xuyi City, but unexpectedly, at this time, there was news that Liu Biao's troops were pressing, and the vanguard Huang Zu went up the river and approached Anhui City.
When there was a shortage of food and grass and rumors in the rear disturbed the morale of his army, Yuan Shu was impatient and prepared to start withdrawing. The Huainan soldiers are also ready to pack their bags and retreat at any time.
Zhang Lang finally ushered in the best opportunity to break Yuan's technique, and began to use 20,000 Danyang soldiers as the main force, 6,000 light cavalry as the two wings, heavy helmet and chain horses in the center, and 30,000 infantry as the secondary attack. In such a charge battle, after the Xuzhou cavalry was equipped with horse pedals and ring iron broadswords, the advantages were fully displayed, the charging ability was several times stronger than before, and the soldiers on the horse were even more handy to kill the enemy, plus the high quality of the 20,000 Danyang soldiers, the training water was advanced, like water flowing silver, the bell was unstoppable. Yuan Shu's soldiers were already dissatisfied with Yuan Shu, and all the soldiers who were made by the rumors had no fighting spirit, were homesick, and retreated after defeat. If it weren't for Ji Ling and Sun Ce's leading forces fighting to the death to block the charge in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu would have been captured in a battle.
Just after Yuan Shu's defeat, the internal contradictions were finally stimulated. The general Chen Ji was dissatisfied with Yuan Shu and led his troops to surrender to Zhang Lang. Zhang Xun was born and died for Yuan Shu for several years, but in the end he had a deep prejudice against himself, and led his cronies to flee to Hefei. The subordinates were divided, and only Sun Ce and Ji Ling quickly retreated to Shouchun after the battle was broken.
The number of troops has dropped sharply from 150,000 at the beginning to only tens of thousands.
Since then, Yuan Shu's defeat has been achieved, and Zhang Lang knows that if nothing happens, the land of Huainan has fallen into the bag. During the chase along the way, his troops were like snowballs, and the more men and horses chased after them. In this way, it is a little difficult to replenish, but fortunately, Xu Sheng is very concise in his work, and the grain and grass are escorted very well, so there is no shortage of food.
At the same time, Zhen Rong and Xue Li volunteered to go to Guangling on behalf of Liu Xuan, but suddenly rebelled and led Guangling Taishou.
Liu Miao blew his beard and glared at him angrily on the spot, scolding the two for being capricious. With the preparation of soldiers and horses, the general Zhang Ying led tens of thousands of troops to attack Guangling. After Zhenrong got the news, he sent someone to help Zhang Lang overnight.
After discussion with everyone, Zhang Lang decided to send Zhang Liao to lead 10,000 troops to support Guangling, and gave a secret mission, after arriving in Guangling, he killed Zhenrong and Xue Li, and took over Guangling.
He also ordered Tai Shici and Zhao Yun to lead the light cavalry to chase after Yuan Shu, and then he led the army to arrive.
Cheng Yu conspired: "Qiao Rui, Li Feng led the remnants of 40,000 troops in Sizhou in a dilemma, and blocked the supply line of our army, at this time Yuan Shu was defeated, as long as the lord knows it with affection, moves it with reason, and makes a letter to make a letter, you can recruit two people." β
Zhang Lang sent an envoy with him.
Xu Shu made another plan and said: "If the main force of our army all pursues and kills Yuan Shu, and Liu Miao sends troops to attack Xuyi, I am afraid it will be dangerous." β
Zhang Lang felt deeply reasonable, if his army poured out, how could Liu Miao let go of this opportunity?
With the order of Xu Shu to lead 20,000 troops, Tibetan Ba, Lian Rong as the deputy to guard the garrison Xuyi, after Guangling was pacified, the two sent troops together to attack Liu Xuan.
Then he led 50,000 infantry to pursue Yuan Shu.
Digression: "Fengliu Three Kingdoms" has received strong support from many book friends since it has been close for two months, which has also made me more motivated to write. As early as half a month ago, I quit my job in order to write this book well, and I thank everyone for their support.
