Chapter 296: Cao Cao who can't sit still

Yuan Shu was ambitious and fierce.

The next day, with an army of 100,000, he slaughtered to Jiujiang County.

But he hadn't arrived in Jiujiang County yet, and the bad news came one after another.

First of all, Ji Ling on the front line of Jiujiang County, I don't know why, took refuge with Yuan Shao, and Jiujiang County, like Zhang He last time, fell into the hands of Yuan Shao without much effort.

Then, Gongsun Chan won a complete victory in Jiangxia, and Yuan Shu's army was crushed.

In the south, Shixie sent 30,000 horses and horses to break through Dongye County, and attacked Huiji.

Liu Biao personally led his troops out of Changsha, took Yuzhang, and marched eastward along the Yangtze River, encountering almost no obstacles along the way.

The most fatal thing is that Yuan Shao sent Xu You to lobby Ju Yi, and Ju Yi led 20,000 troops and surrendered to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao gathered an army of nearly 50,000 people, starting from Lujiang in the west and reaching Jiujiang County in the east, to attack Yuan Shu in Hefei.

Yuan Shu was frightened and had to withdraw his troops.

"Lu Bu, doesn't Dong Zhuo send troops yet?"

Riding a horse, Yuan Shu's face was gloomy and he roared angrily.

Guo Tu was frightened, and followed to the side and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news yet." ”

This defeat, it can be said, is all Guo Tu's advice, Guo Tu is now afraid of unease, worried that Yuan Shu will kill him.

Yuan Shu's eyes were red, and he was full of murderous energy, and said, "Hmph! They don't send troops, it's them who regret it! We are now back to Liyang to hold on, no matter how bad it is, there will still be Huiji, as long as it lasts until the summer harvest, they will have to withdraw their troops if they don't withdraw their troops! ”

There is still a month before the summer grain, and during this time, it is almost the time when the food and grass of all walks of life are exhausted.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Guo Tu hurriedly sent the sycophant and said: "Weichen has already investigated, they are in too much of a hurry to raise troops, the grain and grass are all collected in the future, and the summer harvest is imminent, maybe they will have to withdraw their troops in half a month at most." ”

Yuan Shu's face was grim, and he was eager to pull the bones and skin of Xu You, Ju Yi and others in his heart, and said angrily: "Go back to Liyang first!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, there are more and more people who are fleeing. ”

Yuan Shu's eyes widened, and he said, "How much escaped today?" ”

"Seven seven hundred." The soldier said with some fear.

With the strength of all walks of life, Yuan Shu was almost defeated in a battle, and the army he brought with him had soldiers fleeing every day.

Hearing seven hundred, Yuan Shu's heart was slightly relieved, and he still said coldly: "Order the overseers to send people to strictly guard them, and if there are any deserters, they will all be killed on the spot!" ”

"Yes." The soldier responded and left quickly.

Guo Tu took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, you have to ascend the throne as soon as possible to calm people's hearts and boost morale." ”

Yuan Shu nodded heavily and said, "Go back to Shouchun first, order them to be ready, and ascend the throne as soon as I arrive!" ”

"Commandment." Guo Tudao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Yuan Shu still wants to ascend the throne, so he won't kill him for the time being.

Yuan Shu's anger was full of nowhere to vent, so he could only endure it.

He didn't expect that the good situation seemed to collapse in an instant.

When Yuan Shu withdrew his troops, the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong were struggling to advance and seize territory.

The most surprising thing is that when Liu Bei marched to Xuzhou, he was ambushed by Lu Bu, lost nearly 3,000 people, and had to retreat to Langya County.

And all the other roads are very smooth, especially Yuan Shao, personally led an army of 10,000, with Zhang He as the vanguard, rushing forward, chasing Yuan Shu, and the army entered Yangzhou very smoothly.

Liu Biao went all the way, there was almost no obstacle, and the soldiers approached Danyang.

Runan-gun.

Zhang Wen was sitting here, and he was originally required to dispatch troops and horses from all walks of life to exterminate Yuan Shu.

But after arriving, he found that the fight had already started, he couldn't command Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei was blocked back to Langya County.

The soldiers and horses from all walks of life, who were nominally controlled by him, also ignored Zhang Wen at all on the grounds of 'urgency of the military situation'.

At this moment, he was in the official office, examining the battle reports sent from everywhere.

The face that didn't move for eight points became more and more condensed the more he looked at it, and his brows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters.

Seeing the history in front of him, he said in a low voice: "Gong Zhang, all roads have gone out of control, especially Yuan Shao, who swallowed tens of thousands of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, if you continue to let it go, I am afraid that the tail will not be lost." ”

Zhang Wen's eyebrows loosened, and he said expressionlessly: "Then Liu Biao occupies Jingzhou, and the Shi family almost controls Jiaozhi." Sun Jian and Yuan Shao rushed to attack Danyang. There are also the Taishou everywhere, the county order, suddenly turned to the imperial court, and showed their loyalty one by one......"

This history was understood in an instant, and it was nothing more than falling with the wind.

"Gong Zhang, the situation in Jiangdong is about to get completely out of control." Engaged in the history of the color of the road.

In the past, with Yuan Shu, everyone could still maintain unity without scruples, but now that Yuan Shu is about to fall, the princes from all walks of life are busy grabbing territory, and there is no court in their eyes, let alone Zhang Wen, the commander of the crusade marshal, the left general Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen looked at the battle report, and his heart was also pondering.

The large sitting of the princes of all walks of life in the south was expected by the imperial court. The fundamental reason is that the imperial court is weak and unable to control these princes.

"Now it's the most important thing,"

Zhang Wen sorted out the battle report, looked up at the door, his face was a little colder, and said, "It's Dong Zhuo." ”

Shi Shi suddenly didn't dare to answer.

Sun Jian suggested that Zhang Wen kill Dong Zhuo, but Zhang Wen didn't listen, making Dong Zhuo grow up step by step.

Many people in the government and the opposition often use this as an excuse to attack Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen didn't seem to notice that he was engaged in history, his eyes were far away, and he said, "It's not an accident that Lu Bu repelled Liu Bei. What I'm worried about is that Dong Zhuo won't be indifferent, what is he trying to do? Is it Xuzhou, or southward ......"

For Dong Zhuo, there are too many options, and Zhang Wen can't guess at all.

"Zhang Gong!"

Suddenly, an errand officer came in and said, "General Cao Cao asks to see you." ”

Zhang Wen was stunned and looked at the history beside him.

Shi Shi was also puzzled, and said: "Xia Guan remembers that Zhang Gong did not summon Dong Zhuo? ”

Zhang Wen nodded, with a strong premonition in his heart, and said, "Let him in." ”

I also thought about it, and I was secretly uneasy: Don't be about Dong Zhuo.

Not long after, Cao Cao came, holding a knife in his left hand, his face was full of beard, his eyes were round, and his face was serious.

"Xiaguan Cao Cao, I have seen Zhang Gong."

Cao Cao didn't squint, crossed the threshold, and saluted Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen looked as usual and said, "You are from Qian County?" ”

Cao Cao stood up, his voice crisp and clean, and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Wen frowned and said, "Is it Dong Zhuo who moved?" ”

Cao Cao raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Yes." Dong Zhuo sent Huaxiong into Xiapi and was plotting to capture Guangling County. ”

Guangling County is now in Sun Jian's hands. And Sun Jian is marching into Danyang County.

Zhang Wen pondered this change and said, "Are there anything else?" ”

Cao Cao's expression was grim, his eyes were on Zhang Wen's face, and he said, "Xia Guan heard that there is some movement on Xiliang's side, and it seems that it is colluded with Dong Zhuo. ”

Zhang Wen raised his head, looked at Cao Cao, and said, "What is the purpose of you coming to see me?" ”
