Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 458 - Liu Xie's Enterprising!
As more and more people returned to the Nanyang battlefield, Cao Mengde also had to slowly withdraw his soldiers and horses.
That Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun finally attacked several times, but in the end they were still unable to successfully break through Huo Jun's defense.
Although in the end, they beat Huo Jun's defense to a thousand holes, and even Huo Jun suffered a lot of damage.
But... Huo Jun actually persevered.
Even Cao Chun's desire to migrate to Shangyong was unsuccessful.
But even so, this Xiahou Yuan did not make Shangyong feel better.
Huo Jun's defense could not be opened, and the road for the migration of the people was also blocked, so Xiahou Yuan was angry and directly attacked the east and west.
On the one hand, he pretended to continue to attack Huo Jun, but in fact, he went to sneak attack the mediocre cities....
Several guards of Shangyong County, and even Shangyong County guards, do not have his Huo Jun's ability.
The first general of Shangyong, Li Fu, and the Taishou Shen Tan of Shangyong County were unfortunately killed in the battle of defending the city...
And after several cities in the land of mediocrity were broken by Cao's army, Xiahou Yuan didn't care about Cao Chun's desperate dissuasion, and directly ordered a massacre!
Under Xiahou Yuan's order, the entire land of Shangyong was full of blood, and under that piece of blood, the entire Shangyong did not dare to say that there was no rooster crying for thousands of miles.
But it can be regarded as ten rooms and nine emptiness.
Cao Chun, one of the few people in the Cao family who is quite benevolent, is about to lose his look.
Eventually, he simply turned around and left.
just left a sentence that made Xiahou Yuan sneer.
"Wherever the tiger and leopard ride passes, the corpses of the enemy are strewn all over the field, not for you to use to slaughter innocent people!
If you want to slaughter the mediocrity and shock the world, that's your business, but don't implicate my soldiers who are riding tigers and leopards..."
When Cao Chun's words came out, they were righteous and strict, but in the end, they fell into the hearts of a few people, and they could only laugh....
However, Xiahou Yuan was not able to get what he wanted in the end, even if he made this mediocre land ten rooms and nine empty, but in the end he still failed to force Zhang Lu to surrender.
Nor was it possible to move a single populace...
As for what frightened Huo Jun and Liu Bei... He got nothing but anger!
This general under Cao Mengde's command has now been thoroughly seen, and when facing the tough battle, his full ability can no longer be used.
In the end, he could only slowly withdraw from the battlefield with the cooperation of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and under the response of Zhang He, Yu Ban and others, and joined up with Cao Mengde.
And Guo Jia also came directly to Cao Mengde after waiting for the battle report from the rear and Dong Zhao's letter.
finally said his suggestion to Cao Mengde.
"Withdraw your troops!"
This time, Guo Jia's attitude was extremely firm, and he was not worried at all about whether this suggestion would anger Cao Mengde.
And he also gave a reason that Cao Mengde would never be able to refuse.
"The battle of Jingzhou is not a suitable opportunity, what we really want to do now is not to pacify the world, but to create another world ....."
"Liu He, the son of the great Sima Liu Yu, has been waiting in Luoyang City for too long, too long..."
"As for Your Majesty... It turned out that he was a merge state and a liangzhou again, so I don't need to guard against him.
This is himself on his way to a dead end.
As the saying goes, the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will never come again.
Therefore, as long as we wait for a little bit of news to circulate, such as that His Majesty is now in the land of Jiaozhou, etc.
Naturally, those alien Hulu in this state and the land of Yongliang will not give up this opportunity.
Of course, Feng Xiao certainly didn't make Cao Gong have anything to do with the alien Hulu, but the power of those alien Hulu has become stronger and stronger over the years.
If we are still only focused on quelling the civil strife and ignoring them, wait until we really quell the civil strife in the future.
I'm afraid it's also a big mess in exchange.
These Hulu aliens must be on guard against one or two...
Now, relying on this method to lure them out in advance is also a good thing for the world.
If the generals under the little emperor can strangle this group of guys, then we will naturally be happy to see it, and we will not attack them halfway, so as to end up with any infamy.
If the little emperor is a group of incompetent people, then I don't have to wait.
Just take them all in and take them all.
And even if it was Jia Xu, Liu Ye and others under the command of the little emperor, they really had any ability to defeat them.
But as long as we are around, we can take the opportunity to turn those aliens into friends....
These people don't care about loyalty or not, they only value strength.
Therefore, it is a good and harmless thing.
Please also consider one or two of them...."
That's right, Guo Jia never planned to rely on this battle to become famous and dominate the world!
Even he stopped Cheng Yu's persuasion again and again not because he was worried that Cheng Yu would anger Cao Mengde, but simply because Guo Jia was using this battle to make Cao Mengde recognize the reality!
And it wasn't until now, that Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia's serious face, and finally understood.
And when he saw Xun Yu on the side, his expression still hadn't changed....
"Xun Gongda, did you already know?"
“.... Don't you know that the old man and uncle were both against Cao Gong's expedition to fight this battle of Jingzhou? ”
"....." Cheng Yu, who originally wanted to scold something, was stunned directly after hearing this.
He really knew that before the start of this battle, Cao Mengde also gathered them all together and launched a mobilization war like Yuan Benchu did.
That's whether to fight or not!
Fight, that is, to unify the world and conquer the world!
It's not big, it's to recuperate and relieve energy....
Regarding this matter, Cao Mengde's subordinates did eat once at the beginning, and the old and new factions were all talking about various reasons.
Whether it is for himself and the family behind him, or he really thinks that it should be so, in short, everyone has given Cao Mengde's own suggestions.
And in this, the uncle and nephew of the Xun family are indeed staunch opponents!
Xun Yu's reason is that the army has been fighting for many years, the soldiers are tired, and the morale of the first battle can be like a rainbow, but the remaining forces are all through hardships and are not idle people.
Once it falls into a stalemate, I am afraid that it will be a complete failure!
At least their lives won't be easy.
So instead of betting on this hearty one, it's better to recuperate and wait for a better opportunity to let them all recover.
Ultimately... Rush out and win the battle!
This is actually similar to history, in history, Xun Yu and Cao Mengde's final idea was to capture Jingzhou and stop there!
But I didn't expect Jingzhou to come down too quickly, which made Cao Mengde forget all of a sudden.
And the only one who could persuade this guy at the beginning, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia is dead!
Xun Yu was not by his side, so no one could stop his impulse, so he began to forcibly start a war with Jiangdong, and finally achieved Zhou Lang's prestige....
But today, although it is not the sky of history, the same situation is also true.
That is, he was still hesitant to receive a letter from Cai Mao from Cao Mengde.
is willing to dedicate the huge Jingzhou to him, so that... Cao Mengde could easily take down almost the entire Jingzhou.
Jingxiang nine counties, with 100,000 armor, Wufu people are abundant....
He Cao Mengde couldn't give up this huge benefit, even Xun You and Xun Yu couldn't persuade them, and there was no reason to continue to persuade them forcibly.
They can only be pulled out as soon as possible!
Because Liu Bei also made a move... They don't want accidents.
This led to the fact that Cao Mengde's troops and horses in the rear of the battle had not been gathered well, and the army in front had already begun to fight.
Not to mention the disconnect caused before and after, it is also necessary to continuously mobilize together with the follow-up grain and straw, which gave Zhao Yun and others such as Guan Yu , Zhang Fei and others an opportunity to take advantage of.
To put it bluntly.... Although they are strong in this battle, it is too hasty!
And Liu Xuande is no longer the waste who has been defeated repeatedly, he has his own ability, and he also has his own elite soldiers and brave generals...
And there are two military advisors with very good abilities...
Years of preparation were unstoppable as soon as they broke out, and Liu Xie continued to support them.
Whether it is Zhao Yun or Gan Ning, they have more or less a lot of roles.
And Lu Dai and Xu Huang have also played a lot of roles in the land of Hongnong, at least they have been deterring Luoyang, the Central Plains and Hebei from constantly increasing troops in Nanyang.
After all, in that place of Hongnong County, to put it mildly, he can send troops from all directions at any time.
Once the two of them have shown their prestige, who knows where they will send troops next?
Even Cao Mengde had to keep preparing soldiers and horses just in case...
Cheng Yu had already understood Guo Jia's thoughts at this time, it turned out that from the beginning, Guo Jia, like the uncle and nephew of the Xun family, was not optimistic about this sudden outbreak of the war.
But... This Cao Gong has already made up his mind.
Whether it is for the prestige of this Duke Cao or because of his character, persuasion is not Guo Jia's character.
So he would rather sit and watch the outbreak of this big war, no matter whether he wins or loses, in fact, he just needs to stabilize his back road.
And... Although this battle has successively lost several generals such as Li Dian, Gao Lan, Li Tong, and Le Jin.
But Zhang He, Jiang Ji, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen and other rookies also rushed to emerge.
They do have a loss, but for their overall strength.... That's just a drop in the bucket!
They... He is still the number one prince in the world!
And after this battle, Cao Mengde may also completely give up his idea of quickly pacifying the world.
So what's next... That's how it should be!
