Chapter 161: Yuan Shu's Peak Duel (4)

Yecheng, after Yuan Shao received Yuan Shu's letter, he was also a little undecided, pass on the jade seal of the country, who doesn't want it, it's just that Yuan Shao doesn't want to send troops for this attack on Cao Cao!

"What do you think, gentlemen?" Yuan Shao asked, in fact, the leader's opinion is that I want this thing, but I don't want to do it!

"Puppet Emperor Yuan Shu went perverse and brought about his own destruction, now that the imperial army has arrived, I am afraid that the defeat will be between Xunyue, the lord can write a letter back, and let Yuan Shu send the jade seal first, so that he can make plans?" Xu Youdao

"Will Yuan Shu send the jade seal so obediently? Even if it was really delivered, Yan Liang was still in the coalition army, how could he raise troops to trap Yan Liang in danger? Yuan Shao said

"Get the jade seal first, the matter of raising troops can be postponed, as long as the jade seal is in hand, all this will not be a problem!" Xu Youdao

"Hmmm! Not bad! But is Yuan Shu really going to be defeated? He has been gaining momentum recently, and he is dominating Huaxia! Yuan Shao said without giving up

"If Yuan Shu really had an advantage, he wouldn't have come to unite with the lord to divide the world fairly, and now he is using the jade seal of the country to tempt the lord and let you send troops!" Tian Feng said, Tian Feng is more resolute, and his speech is also very direct, so he has never been very pleasing to Yuan Shao, but his ability is really strong, and he is the best among everyone!

"What Yuan Hao said is very true!" Frustrated

"This is a national jade seal! What a shame to give up! Xu Yu said

"The Son of Heaven is still here, should we hand over the jade seal or keep it for ourselves?" Tian Feng asked with a cold face

"Of course I keep this!"

"Then we are the next Yuan Shu!"

"That's it!" Seeing that he was about to quarrel again, Yuan Shao hurriedly stopped, it is not good to have more people, that is, no one will obey anyone, it is too difficult to serve!

"Yan Liang is my general, how can I abandon it, there is no need to say anything about this matter, Yuxi is a hot potato, don't do it, it's better to take the opportunity to hoard grain and grass to develop troops!" Yuan Shao ordered

"I just don't know when this war will end?" Yuan Shao was a little confused, is his Yuan family really going to perish like this?

"The lord doesn't need to worry, but Yan Liang can take the opportunity to gather Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses and return them to his command, as for Yuan Shu's territory, whoever occupies it will be anyone's, so the lord can send people and horses into Yangzhou on the occasion of the decisive battle, and take more and get more!" Tian Feng said

"Let's do it!" Yuan Shaodao

Yuan Shu's strategy was broken like this, looking at Yuan Shao's reply, Yuan Shu sneered, his own brothers are not united, then there is no hope of winning.

"Did the coalition attack Shouchun?"

"Not yet, I'm just resting, but it's said that we will divide our troops to attack!"

"Humph! This is going to grab the land! I'm not defeated yet! Ordered Yuan Jian to lead 5,000 troops, set off on the small road, ambushed the road of Runan and Shouchun, let the Cao army pass, and then sealed the retreat route, and joined forces with Zhang Xun to attack the Cao army! Yuan Shu said

"Yes!" Yuan Lian came out of the ranks

"How is Ji Ling's injury?"

"The minister can lead the troops to fight, but the force is not as good as it!" Ji Ling spoke

"That's good, you see the timing to fight the coalition forces!" Yuan Shudao

"Your Majesty!" Ji Ling hurriedly spoke, now is not an ordinary time, if there is any problem, you can solve it by yourself, you can't ask casually!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Three drums sounded, Chengfeng Cao Cao and others ordered the generals, stood on the high platform, looked at the members of the generals below, Cao Cao muttered in his heart, this is too difficult to arrange, you can't just let Lu Bu attack!

"The traitor Yuan Shu, perversely, dared to openly claim the emperor and provoke the authority of the Son of Heaven! Today, on the order of the Son of Heaven, to crusade against Yuan Shu, I wonder which general is willing to go out of the camp to call for battle? Cao Cao said

"The last will go!" Xu Chu was the first to jump out, he had to be brave and fearless at this time, otherwise the others would not come out!

"Zhong Kang Yongguan is indeed a good general!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, and at the same time, he also aimed his eyes at Liu Guanzhang and the others, after all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's force value is top-notch!

"I'm going to kill Ji Ling!" Zhang Fei had a hot temper, and was provoked by Chengfeng's eyes, but he also stood up!

"I'll go too!" Yan Liang was not to be outdone, everyone knew that Ji Ling was injured by Lu Bu, and it was definitely a bargain to make a move at this time!

"Good! There are three generals who go out to fight, go and call the battle! "Cao Cao is overjoyed, the more I look at it, the happier I become, as long as someone goes out, it's much easier!

Xu Chu and others each took their headquarters to attack Shouchun, but unfortunately Ji Ling is not Yuan Shu, he is a real general, if it is about conspiracy and tricks, he may not, but the marching formation, attacking and defending the city, he is an expert, personally supervising the battle at the head of the city, using bows and arrows, fire oil, gold juice, and the coalition army that fights can't get close to the city wall at all!

Shouchun, originally a wealthy place, money and food is not less than Yuzhou Yizhou, the Yuan family has worked hard here for many years, and now it is owned by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu put down all the military and political powers, and he began to enjoy all kinds of things, seeing Ji Ling commanding the army, repelling the attacks of Xu Chu and others many times, Yuan Shu is even more assured!

"Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, and now it has just won, why not choose a concubine to inspire people!" Yang Hongdao

"Hmmm! Okay, Aiqing will go do this! Yuan Shu said

"Siege!" Liu Bei finally got the command, this command of other people's troops is very conflicted, and he is afraid that others will not listen to him, and he wants to consume the forces of all parties, and he is also worried about being discovered! Under such a complex psychological effect, Liu Bei began to command the army in the first real sense!

As the order was passed down, the coalition army began to move, and the Hebei army slowly advanced, holding down the position, because Yan Liang and Chengfeng brought cavalry, and they were not needed for this siege, so they stared at the rear guard of the army, for fear that Ji Ling would surprise the army! Cao Jun and Xuzhou soldiers began to attack the city, and one after another cloud ladders were quickly erected, and teams of men and horses rushed up to kill.

"Kill the enemy! Shoot the arrows! Ji Ling held a three-pointed two-edged knife and personally commanded it. Yuan Shu's army armor is fully equipped, the soldiers are powerful, and he may not be an opponent in the field, but he is definitely a qualified soldier to defend the city, and Ji Ling is a standard general, and he can be said to be proficient in everything about marching and fighting.

"Use hot oil when you're close, choose to use a bow and arrow, don't show your head!" Ji Ling shouted

Cao Jun moved slowly with his shield on his head, everyone knew that this was a war of attrition, but they couldn't avoid it, so they all approached slowly to minimize casualties, and the effect was obvious!

The city wall of Shouchun is tall, and the general ladder is not long enough, even if there are a few who can reach the city step occasionally, they were quickly destroyed by the Yuan army, and after the Cao army left a corpse, they could only retreat!

"Xuande's tactics are not good!" Lu Bu said with a smile, he was the happiest to see the consumption of Cao Jun!

"Humph! Do you have any good ways to siege the city? Liu Bei snorted coldly, it is obvious that this tactic is not good, but if you say this, you are a little ignorant of the heat!

"Besiege but not attack, trap him!" Lu Bu said with a smile

"Huh! Are you kidding? Shouchun's money and food are enough for Yuan Shu to squander for ten years, and you besiege him? I'm afraid I will be dragged to death by him first! Liu Bei said with a smile

"Huh!" Lu Bu was stunned, this is indeed the case, it seems that he is still suitable for charging into battle, not suitable for this kind of plan!

"I wonder what instructions the Marquis of Xiaoyao has?" Cao Cao asked

Cheng Feng was frowning at this time, thinking about how Liu Bei had dealt with Yuan Shu in this history, and after thinking for a long time, he found that he had to wait for Yuan Shu to die by himself, and when the people of Yangzhou were not happy, Liu Bei would enter!

"Wait! Otherwise, you will first eliminate Zhang Xun's troops in Runan and force Yuan Shu to go out of the city to fight! "Cheng Feng Dao,

"Persecuting Yuan Shu is indeed a clever plan, but how to persecute him? Yuan Shu is treacherous, but Ji Ling is a good general, the two trust each other very much, this anti-plot is useless! Cao Cao said with a frown

"Runan and Nanyang are operational!" Cheng Feng said with a smile

"Seconds!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, "It's just that this Shouchun still needs people to besiege it!" Cao Cao immediately thought of another serious question!

"The prime minister can lead troops to Runan, and this Shouchun can be handed over to Xuande and Lu Bu!" Cheng Feng said with a smile

"Will this work?" Cao Cao was a little helpless, if he hadn't brought his troops over, Liu Bei and Lu Bu would have been pressed and beaten by Yuan Shu.

"Now Yuan Shu does not dare to go out of the city, there are many suspicious soldiers outside the city, and he exercises the siege of the city every day, he must be able to hide from Yuan Shu, although Ji Ling is good at marching and fighting, but he does not know how to conspire and trick, I and the prime minister will work together to send troops to defeat Zhang Xun in the shortest possible time, and when the time comes, Yuan Shu will be attacked on both sides, and the city of Shouchun will be broken just around the corner!" Cheng Feng Dao

"I'm afraid that Xuande and Fengxian won't be able to bear Yuan Shu!" Cao Cao looked at the two of them suspiciously

"Don't worry, the prime minister only needs to prepare 20,000 horses!" Liu Bei also took the opportunity to speak, the 20,000 horses in Lu Bu's hands don't think about it himself, but Cao Cao's people can still use it, and Cao Cao can't refuse, once things change, he can also take the opportunity to make Cao Cao and Lu Bu have a grudge!

"Good! That's it! Cheng Feng opened his mouth and said, "Yan Liang also stayed, and learned more about the method of riding and fighting with Wen Hou!" ”

"Yes!" Yan Liang said, as long as he doesn't let himself fight to consume forces, Yan Liang is a hundred willing, not to mention that it would be better to be close to Lu Bu, although he wants to follow Cheng Feng, but this is Cheng Feng's order, and he can only obediently carry it out!

"Good!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, now that Ma Chaoxi is committing Chang'an Wancheng and other places, and he is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, this pressure is very high, and he must quickly solve the problem of Yuan Shu, otherwise he will not be able to control the situation in the future!

"But before leaving, you should also launch an attack on Shouchun, it is best to be able to scare Ji Ling!" Cheng Feng Dao

"Good! Listen to the orders of the Marquis! Cao Cao said

"The cavalry listened to the order, and the An Qianren team attacked according to the standard and shot at Shouchun City, ten arrows per person! Don't stay! Infantry assault the city with all its might! Cheng Feng shouted, this is to give the Yuan army the biggest blow before leaving, so that they are afraid of the attack of the coalition army in their hearts, so that it will be easier to feint in the future!

The coalition army was like a surging tide, attacking wave after wave, directly surrounding Shouchun, and the earth-shattering shouts seemed to tear down the city wall, even Ji Ling was a little confused, why was it suddenly like being beaten with chicken blood!

"Quick! Get ready to defend the city! Ji Ling said anxiously, he had just seen the coalition retreat, and he hadn't even breathed his breath, and this was another wave of attacks!

The cavalry's bows and arrows had a long range and great power, and the Yuan army on the head of the city was directly suppressed and could not raise its head, so it could only rely on the big shield to defend, and the coalition army took the opportunity to start hitting the city gate, and all kinds of cloud ladders were erected on the city wall!

"Not good!" Ji Ling was shocked, and his morale would be gone in the long run.

"Shoot the arrows! Don't let the coalition forces climb the walls! Ji Ling began to attack downward with a bow and crossbow in hand, and in an instant, the coalition army fell like dumplings in the water!

"Cavalry strike again!" Cheng Feng's face was serious, he couldn't see any expression, in fact, his heart was happy, he used 100,000 arrows in exchange for Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and others to consume each other, it was really a big profit, as for those few people, now their faces can be imagined!

The first battle was dark, and in the end, the coalition army did not climb the city wall, leaving corpses everywhere, exposed to the range of the Yuan army, and the coalition army did not clean up the battlefield, Chengfeng Cao Cao took advantage of the night to quickly set off to Runan, Lu Bu and others stayed in place, and Ji Ling was scared of this battle, and did not dare to easily send troops to test, the losses of the Yuan army were very huge, most of them died under the bow and arrow, Ji Ling secretly estimated that the losses of the coalition army may be greater, so both sides tacitly eased for a few days, and did not provoke each other!

"Kill!" Cheng Yu was played by Zhang Xun once last time, and now he is holding back his anger, in terms of resourcefulness, he is far better than Zhang Xun, that is, in terms of force, he will not lose him, but he didn't expect to be played by Zhang Xun many times, it is really an uncle who can bear it, and an aunt who can't bear it!

"Array!" Cheng Yu directly took out the skills of his hometown, and the army set up a long snake formation, wanting to fight with Zhang Xun!

"Huh! The soldiers are treacherous, how can it be a dignified decisive battle! We're here to trouble them! Zhang Xun laughed shamefully

"Herald! Around Cheng Yu's military formation, each thousand-person team fights casually, and there is only one goal, that is, Cheng Yu's Chinese army, give me all the strength to fight! Zhang Xun sneered

"Kill!" Cheng Yu was stunned, why did this Zhang Xun go out with the whole army? My heart is inexplicably tight, I want to fight in battle, how can this pit not play cards according to common sense!

"Not good!" Cheng Yu said, but it's too late to change the formation now, so I can only hope for fate to see if anyone will rush in, and it is best for Zhang Xun to rush in, so that even if he loses, as long as he beheads Zhang Xun, it will also be a credit!

"Rush over!" Chen Lan shouted, no matter how long the snake formation was, the whole army was aiming at Cheng Yu's banner and killing it, and directly beat Cao Jun back step by step!

Chen Lan is fast, the first one to kill in, regardless of the others, with his own personal soldiers to kill people when they see them, instantly disturb the left flank, Chen Lan will leave after killing people, do not give Cao Jun a chance to entangle, and wait until the two armies are really fighting together, Cheng Yu sadly found that he has lost control of the army!

"Kill!" On the other side, Zhang Xun came in person and covered Cao Jun with a bow and arrow, only making Cheng Yu's brows jump!

"Block! Those who retreat, kill and decide! Cheng Yu shouted, holding a long sword at the same time, and personally went to face Zhang Xun!

"Haha! Slaughter, take your life! Zhang Xun was overjoyed when he saw Cheng Yu, and he killed him directly, the two had just fought for a few rounds, and they saw the chaos on the right flank of the Cao army, it turned out that Lei Bo led troops from Nanyang to kill, and he attacked on both sides, Cheng Yu had no generals available, so he had to retreat while fighting!

"Mr. Cheng Yu, don't panic, Xiahou is here!" Just when Cheng Yu couldn't resist it, he shouted, Xiahoudun killed him!

"Zhang Xun Xiao'er, take your life!" Xiahoudun shouted, and killed him directly with a big knife!

Zhang Xun was shocked, he was just a draw with Cheng Yu, Xiahoudun himself couldn't beat him, seeing Xiahoudun directly kill him, he didn't care about Cheng Yu at the moment, he turned around and ran!

"Zhang Xun is defeated!" Cheng Yu took the opportunity to shout, Cao Jun's morale was victorious, and under the leadership of Xiahou Dun, he chased and killed all the way, and Yuan Jun was killed and did not dare to fight, and retreated more than 30 miles!

"Fortunately, General Xiahou came in time!" Cheng Yu wiped a handful of cold sweat and said

"After receiving the letter from Mr., Xun Yu came quickly, and I finally didn't make a mistake!" Xiahoudun said that Xiahoudun was very respectful of Cao Cao's several strategists, because he knew that the wisdom of this group of people could make his soldiers bleed!

"Shame! Several battles, but none of them got cheap! Cheng Yu was a little speechless, was the timing of his birth wrong?

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, Mr. does not need to be like this, please give an order to Mr. and fully cooperate!" Xiahou said

"Thank you, General!" Cheng Yu said, his reputation is not good, most people are reluctant to work with him, I didn't expect the most trusted person under Cao Cao to support him so much, Cheng Yu just wants to cry at this moment!

"Attack!" When all sides launched an attack on Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, as the first warlord in Jiangdong, also began a formal Northern Expedition, led by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, took the lead in launching an attack on the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong Army took the opportunity to annex Yuan Shu's naval army last time, and obtained a large number of warships and materials, and now it can be said that it is the representative of the Han Naval Division, so the attack on the Yangtze River has become a simple and crude unilateral attack!

Zhou Yu is in high spirits, Sun Ce is majestic and mighty, the two can be said to cooperate tacitly, taking advantage of the vast night, the two took all the places near the Jiangjiang River, and finally surrounded the Jiangjiang City, only to make Yuan Yin and Liu Xun who had just arrived blind, this Jiangdong soldier came so fast!

"Attack!" Sun Ce and others didn't know that the river had changed, and they wanted to take advantage of the strong morale to capture the city, as long as they took the river, they would open the door to the north, and they could directly attack Shouchun in the north, and they could also attack Jiangxia Runan in the west, and even directly attack Cao Cao's base camp Xuchang!

"Humph! Sun Ce is afraid that he wants to be blind! Yuan Yin said angrily

"Gongzi can command the battle with the city wall, but the Jiangdong Army can't fight on land, as long as you don't fight with Sun Ce, you can strangle the Jiangdong Army!" Liu Xun said

"Good! The general can send troops, not for full merit, but for no fault! Yuan Yin said

"Yes!"

The Jiangdong army was attacking the city, Liu Xun led the soldiers to suddenly kill, and Sun Ce was caught off guard, and the Yuan army was a vigorous pursuit of the Jiangdong soldiers, lacking a battle with Sun Ce, only killing the Jiangdong army is corpses all over the field, blood flowed like a river, and he returned defeated!
