But I heard Tian Feng say: "Both Wang Zheng and Sun Ce are young heroes in the world. They have their own merits and leadership. However, no matter who wins or loses in this battle, it will have a profound impact in the south."
All the wise men in the world have almost the same view. Tian Feng's focus is the same as that of Xun Yu in Xudu, and he is more concerned about the impact of the battle between Wang Zheng and Sun Ce on his own family.
However, compared to Cao Cao's immediate understanding, Yuan Shao's immediate focus was different.
"Hey, Young Hero..."
These words made Yuan Shao frown slightly, and he couldn't help but rub his chin. He remembered the time he took a picture of himself in the mirror when he got up this morning. He didn't know when it started, but his beard and hair were already slightly white...
Yes, speaking of it, both Wang Zheng and Sun Ce are only similar to his sons in terms of age. Now these two people have become famous. Although they are not as powerful as him, they have given Yuan Shao a strong support. sense of urgency.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said: "Yuan Hao's statement is totally wrong. Sun Bofu is nothing more than that. Is a remnant of the Yellow Turban worthy of being called a hero?"
Tian Feng was startled when he heard the words. He was about to speak when he looked up and saw that Yuan Shao's face was filled with displeasure, as if his prejudices were deeply embedded. He sighed secretly and said nothing.
Seeing that his advisers did not directly agree, Yuan Shao became more and more unhappy. However, he had always done a good job in serving Corporal Li Xian. He knew in his heart that Tian Feng's ability and loyalty were not in question. He could not care about such a trivial matter, so he coughed dryly. , picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, looked at Tian Feng again, and suddenly changed his mind and asked another question as if casually.
"The Southland has been very lively in the past two years, with talents emerging in large numbers. First there was Wang Zheng, then Sun Ce and Yuan Hao. From your perspective, how do you compare with this general?"
Tian Feng was just upright but not stupid. He replied almost without thinking: "Wang Zheng, although Sun Ce is an extraordinary person, he is far from being comparable to my lord."
"My lord's ancestral home is in Runan, which is adjacent to Nanyang where Emperor Guangwu was born. We should use this as the object of comparison. How can we lower ourselves to compare with the two younger generations?"
Yuan Shao was very satisfied with Tian Feng's answer. His expression immediately softened, but on the surface he waved his hands repeatedly: "Yuan Hao is overly praised."
"In the year when Emperor Guangwu came into being, he was able to live in one world and become the son of Emperor Jiuyan. I am now over forty years old, but I still haven't accomplished anything big. I think it's not enough."
Although he pretended to be humble, Yuan Shao was looking at Tian Feng with sharp eyes, as if he expected the other party to continue comparing him with Liu Xiu.
It is also a great honor to be compared with Liu Xiu.
However, Tian Feng was not interested in continuing this topic and directly returned to the topic: "My lord, speaking of which, I am also very concerned about who will win and who will lose in the current battle in Yangzhou. It's just that we are thousands of miles away, so it is really difficult to judge."
"What's so difficult about this battle?" Yuan Shao stroked his beard and laughed: "Yuan Hao, you are good at everything, but you are too cautious. Even though you are thousands of miles away, I have already made a clear decision!"
Tian Feng was surprised when he heard this and said: "I am ignorant, I would like to hear my lord explain in detail."
"Wang Zheng went deep into the army alone and lost the geographical advantage. Sun Ce's rebellion was not long ago and the foundation is unstable. No matter who wins or loses in this battle, the most likely outcome is that two tigers will fight each other and both sides will suffer. Is this true?"
This analysis is correct, Tian Feng nodded in approval.
"Now there are three forces in Xu and Yang states. Wang Zheng and Sun Ce are either dead or injured. Who gets the advantage?"
Yuan Shao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's just a tough ghost on the other side of Shouchun. Hey, Wang Zheng is so ignorant that he actually used his own soldiers and horses to make wedding clothes for others. As I expected, it's not bad.
After the two men finish fighting, the situation in the south will inevitably change. Now we have entered a critical moment of the war. We must not be unprepared. We can summon the ministers and come to the palace for discussion!"
"See you soon, my lord!"
This time Tian Feng affirmed sincerely. He immediately took the order and walked out of the hall. When he was about to cross the threshold, his steps suddenly stopped and he turned around again.
"My lord, I just remembered that besides Yuan Shu, there is another person who will win this battle. Should we also take precautions early?"
"Oh?" Yuan Shao was startled when he heard this: "Who else is there?"
Tian Feng stood in front of Yuan Shao, his eyes were compelling, and he said every word:
"Xu Du, Cao Cao!"
...
Now that Wu Sheng's troops have launched an offensive, military reports from the frontline camps are like a flood, sent one after another to the internal and external camps in Shu County.
Sometimes there are more than a dozen letters a day, and sometimes there are not less than five or six letters.
Through this sealed military newspaper, through the concise and clear text in the military newspaper, Wu Sheng and Guo Jia in the frontline camp constructed a vivid and three-dimensional scene for Wang Zheng.
He seemed to be able to experience the situation through this military report, and through the military report that was covered with salt and seemed to still have the residual warmth of the frontline soldiers, he directly saw the cruel and fierce battle!
That battle was taking place under the walls of Lu'an City.
"In the first year of Jian'an, on the 19th day of the sixth lunar month in the summer, at noon, Guo sacrificed wine to lure the enemy's cavalry out of the city, and used less to attack more, blocking the enemy outside the Wengcheng. The generals rushed to the rescue in time and wiped out more than 600 enemies."
"In the first year of Jian'an, on the twenty-third day of the sixth lunar month, at dawn, General Wu personally led his troops to kill prisoners in front of the battle array, beheading more than 200 people. Afterwards, his heads were displayed, and his wails shook the heaven and the earth. The thieves at the top of the city watched, and their morale was high.
Depressed."
"In the first year of Jian'an, on the twenty-sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the summer, at night, Huang Zhong's army arrived at the north gate of Liu'an, intending to use the puppet army's plan to gain access to the city gate. However, the plan failed, and Huang Gai saw through it."
"In the first year of Jian'an, on the twenty-ninth day of the sixth lunar month, in the morning, all the troops on our front line were in position. At midnight, we launched an offensive. General Wu attacked the east gate, General Huang attacked the west gate, Liu Xun's remaining troops attacked the south gate, and Wu Sheng
, Wang Xiong and all the generals took the lead and took the lead, with Guo Jia in the middle to control the situation."
"The North Gate was left vacant and not attacked. General Huang Zhong personally led his troops to line up outside the gate to prevent Sun's thieves from breaking through. The enemy general Huang Gai and other troops either guarded the East Gate, guarded the West Gate, or guarded the South Gate, and they all came in person.
Front line. When the battle reached noon, our army took a break and retreated. We tallied the results and found that we killed more than 1,200 enemies and injured more than 1,300 ourselves."
This was probably the first time since the Heavenly Army's uprising that Wang Zheng saw that his own losses exceeded those of his enemies, but he was not at all disappointed, and instead felt slightly complacent.
Because this is a siege battle where the enemy defends and we attack!
As the siege party, facing the defenders who are the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms Huang Gai and the elite Soochow troops who are far superior to the ordinary city defenders, they can still fight a nearly one-on-one battle even if the opponent has the equipment and the right location.
The loss ratio not only shows the urgency of the frontline war, but also proves the superior combat power of the heavenly army.
Moreover, the casualty ratio of system soldiers this time was not high, which also proved that those new soldiers and other Xuzhou Army already had a certain combat capability. This was what Wang Zheng was most gratified about.
Training an army for a thousand days can be used in one dynasty. As a later generation, when expanding the army, Wang Zheng did not choose to blindly expand the army according to the current trend of "stretching strong men". Instead, he took the route of elite soldiers and improved treatment.
And he spared no expense on rice and grain to keep practicing, and now it seems that it was finally in vain.
However, despite being proud, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Although the total number of troops sent this time was only 20,000, he almost took out all the elites under his command. Especially many of the first and second-level heavenly troops, in addition to the powerful physiques provided by the system, were actually honed through many bloody battles.
Combat skills and experience, the former can be obtained with experience points, but the latter is not!
These are supposed to become more powerful third-level soldiers or even fourth-level soldiers in the future. It can be said that every death means one less one. In fact, it cannot be supplemented by upgrading this cheating device with experience points in a short period of time.
Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, and immediately wrote a handwritten letter, sending a team of iron cavalry to Lu'an. The letter clearly reminded Guo Jia and Wu Sheng to be considerate of the old soldiers, and to use as many new soldiers as possible in the early stage of the siege.
Don’t attack by force if you can outwit them. At the end of the letter, he wrote a special sentence to Guo Jia:
"To raise one's voice and keep oneself far away is not to take advantage of the autumn wind, so those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."
These two sentences are from a five-character poem written by Yu Shinan in the Tang Dynasty, which reads, "The dew is hanging down to drink, and the sound of the flowing trees is flowing out of the sparse trees. The reason for speaking loudly and far away is not to borrow the autumn wind."
It means that the cicada's voice can spread far just because it is at a high place. It does not rely on the power of the autumn wind. The same is true for talented people. They do not need external means to become famous. Through the battle report, Wang Zhengneng felt that Guo
Jiahe and Wu Sheng attacked too fast and violently, and even tended to risk casualties. I am worried that they are eager to win, so I would like to remind you.
Little did they know that although Guo Jia and Wu Sheng were eager to break through Lu'an, they also wanted to help him break the siege of Shucheng as soon as possible.
...
"On July 2, the first year of Jian'an, all the armies finished their lunch and attacked the city for the second time. Trebuchets and crossbows were lined up and fired one after another. The battlements of Liu'an were all gone. Huang Gai erected a wooden fence on the city to resist it.
Of."
"General Wu Sheng personally came to the city, and Huang Gai bunched up mugwort and filled it with grease, burned it and threw it over to temporarily block our army. At the east gate of the city, an enemy general Dong Xi took advantage of the opportunity and came out and wanted to kill our camp. Huang Zhong led a hundred cavalry to attack with white swords.
We rushed straight into the enemy's formation, and the troops and horses made a move, and the enemy retreated. From the beginning of the Youdu battle until nightfall, the city was stained with blood. We calculated the battle damage, killed more than a thousand thieves, and suffered nearly 800 casualties."
"After dinner, our army attacked the city three times. We put out all the torches and used Guo's plan to sacrifice wine. The dark arrows were lost. At daytime, our army had surrounded the city, built many tall buildings, and stood high to approach them. They all fired them. Lost.
It was raining like rain. Because of the darkness of the night, our army's arrows were lost and all were painted black. The thieves could not distinguish them. Many of them were lost. Among them, General Huang Zhong showed his prowess and killed the enemy general Dong Xi with one arrow. There was also a young man.
He was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. His identity is unknown, and his life and death are unknown. However, he saw panic all over the city and heard the news hundreds of miles away. It is believed that his status is not low."
"On the third day of the seventh month in the first year of Jian'an, we attacked with arrows last night and stayed there until Mao hour. At Chen hour, two generals, Wu Sheng and Huang Zhong, attacked the east gate together, using Jiang soldiers as the vanguard to drive up the city. Although the generals in their army were slightly
I am dissatisfied, but I dare not speak out."
"At noon after a hard battle, the soldiers of General Huang's headquarters used a rushing chariot to attach a big hook to the end of the chariot to hold the battlement and destroy the city wall. Huang Zhong entered the city first, and Huang Gai personally went out to meet the enemy. The two fought fiercely at the bottom of the city. After only dozens of rounds,
Huang Gai retreated."
"Huang Zhong wanted to pursue, but the passage in the city wall he destroyed was narrow and no more than ten feet wide. His lone army went deep and was besieged by the enemy. General Huang was so energetic that he killed hundreds of people, but was wounded three times and had no choice but to retreat outside the city."
"Then the Sun thieves used the Wooden Girl Wall as a cover and stopped fighting. Huang Gai personally supervised the people and built a new wall behind the Wooden Girl Wall. By the time of Shen, the new wall in the city was completed, and our army retreated without success."
"General Huang and the new army retreated, and General Wu took over as the main force. Although General Huang suffered a loss, he refused to surrender and continued to command the siege. The battle reached Haishi. Our troops attacked all three sides of the four gates of Lu'an, but the east city was attacked.
The loudest."
"At the end of the day, our army retreated, and after calculating the results of the battle, we killed more than 1,300 enemies again, and killed four of the Sun thieves who were above Du Bo. Our army lost a thousand people, and one person who was above Du Wei died in battle, and above Du Bo was killed in battle.
Two people were killed, and seven people were killed in battle. Their names are listed on the right. Niu Ting, the captain of the Tianzhu camp, Dubo so-and-so of the first Tianzhu camp, Dubo so-and-so of the third army, and so-and-so the Tianzhu camp commander.
Commander of the Second Military Department, so-and-so..."
After reading the military newspaper, Wang Zheng, who was sitting in the tent, cast his eyes on the hanging system box and fell into thought.

A city in Lu'an actually lost nearly two thousand system soldiers... Wang Zheng sighed secretly.
According to statistics from all military reports, from mid-June to the present, the total number of casualties on the Heavenly Army's side has exceeded 5,000 for most of the month. Of course...
Huang Gai’s side is not much better either!
Because Lu'an is not far from Shu County, the changes in numbers of soldiers and experience points are almost instantaneous, and the new experience gained in the past half month has exceeded 100,000, which shows that Huang Gai's side is also the same
A man with a loss of more than 5,000 people can provide more than 200 experience points on average!
What does this mean?
It shows that the defenders of Lu'an are definitely elite troops!
So how many elites can Huang Gai have left?
Covering the military newspaper, Wang Zheng stood up, his eyes gleaming. Although the information displayed in the military newspaper was that Wu Sheng and Huang Zhong had only gained the upper hand so far, there were no obvious signs of the city being broken.
, but Wang Zheng has been able to deduce that Huang Gaijun's trump cards in Lu'an City have been exhausted, and the day when Lu'an City is destroyed is not far away!
He can analyze this matter through the information given by the system, and Sun Ce outside the city will also know better!
We must capture Lu'an in one fell swoop before he sends reinforcements!
