Chapter 299: Breaking the stalemate, Liu He enters the seclusion
Chapter 299: Breaking the Stalemate Liu He Enters the Netherworld
Under the joint calculation of several counselors and being misled by the book boy, Xu You fell into the trap! Poor Feng Ji once again smashed a huge stone on his feet. I wonder if he felt any pain! However,
Feng Ji, Yuan Shang, and Shen Pei were still kept in the dark, and they were happy that Xu You had forgiven Feng Ji.
Although Yuan Shao's sons were making quite a fuss over Yuan Shao's position, Yuan Tan and others were still trying to think of ways to deal with Liu Zhang. Whether they could succeed or not is another question. Liu Zhang was also discussing how to deal with Yuan Shao.
Countermeasures. Outside Yangquan City, in Liu Zhang’s tent, his subordinates were all gathered together!
"Brother, you had a great time smashing today. Why don't you keep smashing? If you keep smashing for a while, we can invade Yangquan City!" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Zhang with a beaming look, as if he invented the Thunderbolt Chariot.
"Scouts have reported that hundreds of thousands of troops are approaching Yangquan not far away. If Yuan Shao's reinforcements rush forward in a rush, we will lose a lot of the Thunderbolt Chariots in our hands! If Yuan Shao gets them, we will be in trouble!
Don't you hear, haste leads to waste! Yuan Shao has a million troops, let's eat slowly!" Liu Zhang explained very profoundly, Zhang Fei couldn't understand, so he immediately sat down and stopped talking.
"See you, my lord!" As the supervisor of the Pili Car, Meng Da finished counting the situation of the Pili Car before coming to the big account.
"Zidu, sit down!" Liu Zhang pointed to the lower position and said, "Sit down and report the situation!"
"Yes!" After Meng Da sat down, he cupped his hands and said, "For your information, my lord, today our army deployed hundreds of Thunderbolt vehicles to attack Yangquan City. Thirteen of them were damaged. Three of them are being repaired. Ten of them have their main parts damaged. We need
Remake!”
"Okay!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "We fought for an hour before destroying three of them. Starting from tomorrow, we will bombard for half an hour every day, morning, noon and evening. I want to put Yangquan City into panic!"
"Yes!" Meng Da asked: "What if the enemy attacks? When I returned, I found that many more troops from Yuan Army had arrived, almost completely surrounding Yangquan City!"
"This is a question!" Liu Zhang tapped the handsome case and asked softly: "Is there any information from Gong Jin, Yuan Zhi, Wen He?"
"No!" Zhou Yu and Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Ever since Guo Jia recovered from illness, Liu Zhang's intelligence system has become a bit slow! Of course, this cannot be blamed on Jia Xu. After all, one person's abilities are limited, and Liu Zhang wants him to do his best to find Zhang.
Ji, Hua Tuo. As for Li Ru, although he was very talented, he was inferior compared to Guo Jia, and Liu Zhang's trust in him was far less than Guo Jia.
"Check! Let's see how many reinforcements Yuan Shao has come!" Liu Zhang said helplessly: "Before there is information, don't push the Thunderbolt Chariot too far away from the camp and directly bombard Yuan Jun's stronghold outside Yangquan City! Remember, try your best
Make sure that the Pili Car will not be damaged. At the same time, send an order to Liu Ye and ask him to build a new Pili Car as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Meng Da stood up to take the order, and Liu Zhang waved for him to sit down.
To be honest, Liu Zhang was very satisfied with Meng Da's ability. As for his three betrayals in history, Liu Zhang didn't care much. Because Meng Da's treatment in history did not match his ability. From Liu Zhang's modern perspective, when his ability improves,
The salary was not satisfactory, so it was necessary to change jobs. Of course, although Liu Zhang did not mind that Meng Da had changed jobs, his trust in him was far less than that of Guan Yu and others, and even less than Mi Fang.
Yuan Shao's army was too large. Liu Zhang's men deliberated for a long time. There was no better way than cutting off and burning food. But cutting off and burning food was the last method Liu Zhang wanted to use. After all, food was also a matter of hard work for the people.
Planted. It is easy to light a fire, but the sequelae of starting a fire are not so easy to solve.
You see, after the Guandu War in history, Cao Cao burned Yuan's army's rations, leaving him with no food to gather the remaining troops. In order to prevent Yuan's soldiers from surrendering and rebelling again, Cao Cao actually ordered the killing of prisoners, and Cheng Yu also used human breasts as a weapon.
Recruit. These things made Cao Cao's reputation in history notorious. Although Liu Zhang was better prepared than Cao Cao, he still didn't have enough food and grass to feed an army of millions for a year, let alone the people of Jizhou!
"Lord, I have a plan that may be able to break the deadlock!" Zhou Yu said suddenly, making everyone focus on him.
"Oh?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile, "What's Gong Jin's clever plan?"
"I know it too!" Seeing Zhou Yu's expression, Xu Shu suddenly shouted.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me first?"
"Why are you so embarrassed? After all, it was you who thought of it first!" Xu Shu scratched his head in embarrassment. After all, he was one step slower than Zhou Yu.
"Why don't you find pen and ink, write it down, and then unfold it at the same time?" Liu Zhang suddenly remembered the most common method used by ancient people, and made a suggestion.
"Okay!" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Bring me the pen and ink!"
Soon, the principal brought pen and ink, and Zhou Yu and Xu Shu wrote their own words. After a while, the two of them unfolded the strategies they had written at the same time. There were only two words Liu He on it!
Everyone was puzzled, and Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Gong Jin, you should explain it!"
"Yes!" Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Liu He is the son of Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and has very high popularity in Youzhou. If he is allowed to organize a group of troops in Youzhou to harass everywhere, Yuan Shao will have to send people to divide the troops.
Youzhou.”
"This..." Liu Zhang asked hesitantly: "Liu He doesn't have much ability. If he is allowed to go to Youzhou, will it..."
"Don't worry, my lord!" Xu Shu said with a smile: "Liu He is a dandy. Let him go to Youzhou. If he can succeed, it will be the best. If not, he will always cause trouble to Yuan Shao! Besides, even if we can't defeat Yuan Shao,
, even if it consumes him, it will consume him to death!"
"Okay! Let Liu He go to Youzhou!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Gong Jin, Yuan Zhi, you two will handle this matter!"
"Yes!" Zhou Yu and Xu Shu responded, looking at each other and smiling.
Some time ago, the two of them discovered that Liu He's behavior was no different from that of a playboy in Bingzhou, and they had long wanted to deal with him. But Liu He was Liu Zhang's tribe after all, and they couldn't deal with him for no reason. In fact, it was this kind of behavior.
People who never make big mistakes but keep making small mistakes are the most hateful!
Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao were in a stalemate, but Liu Zhang had a slight upper hand. When Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang fought, Jingzhou was also in chaos. Cao Cao, under Han Song's persuasion, sent troops to Jingzhou and captured Wancheng with lightning speed.
Under control. Chen Dao, who was stationed near Tongguan, received a notice from Wei Yan, and the two of them went to Xiangyang to join Liu Bei.
"Second brother, uncle Zhi, you..." Looking at Wei Yan and Chen Dao, Liu Bei's face was full of bitterness. At nearly forty years old, he finally gained two counties and lost them again. But he couldn't blame Wei Yan and Chen Dao.
, because it was not the two of them who could resist Cao Cao, and Liu Bei did not expect that Cao Cao would send troops to Jingzhou instead of attacking Liu Zhang!
"Brother, my younger brother is incompetent!" Wei Yan knelt on the ground with a guilty look on his face, and Chen Dao also knelt beside him. Speaking of which, although Liu Bei lost Nanyang County and Nan County, his troops, food and grass were still there, and he was better than before.
The household is much stronger!
"Oh! Get up! You have followed me for many years and have never left me. How can I embarrass you for this little thing!" Liu Bei seemed to have aged several years. He personally helped Wei Yan and Chen Dao up, but Wei Yan and Chen Dao did not.
Dare to look at him.
"Brother, Nanyang County and Nanjun have been lost, what should we do?" Xu Chu knew the pain of defeat, so he quickly found an excuse to change the subject.
"Xuan Degong, the four counties in Jingnan are already unclaimed lands, why don't you lead your troops there!" Hearing that Cao Cao had captured Wancheng, Yi Ji felt helpless.
"I have made an agreement with Sun Ce, how can I break my promise?" Liu Bei hesitated.
"If we don't betray our trust, we will be trapped in Jingzhou!" As a fellow villager of Liu Bei, Jian Yong naturally says whatever he wants. Although his words make Liu Bei very embarrassed, they are the truth!
"Lord, we know that you are benevolent and righteous, but now is not the time to be benevolent and righteous! Liu Biao's army is in front, and Cao Cao's army is behind. If we don't make a decision quickly, we will be doomed!" As another counselor of Liu Bei, Sun Qian also began to persuade.
"This..." Liu Bei paced back and forth in the camp. After a long while, he slammed the table and said: "As you said, we will divert to Jingnan!"
"My lord is wise!" Everyone immediately packed up and left Xiangyang County.
At the foot of Xiangyang City, Cao Cao's troops arrived. Liu Biao stood at the top of the city, very torn in his heart. He didn't know whether to go down to the city and surrender, or to continue to resist. He was unwilling to surrender, but he had no capital to resist.
"Brother Jingsheng, you are well!" Cao Cao brought Brother Xiahou to the foot of Xiangyang City. Looking at Liu Biao at the top of the city, Cao Cao was filled with emotion. When he was in Luoyang, the Liu Biao he saw was like a jade tree standing in the wind and a scholar.
His magnanimity. But today Liu Biao still has his scholarly magnanimity, but he is getting older.
"Mengde, you're fine!" Liu Biao raised his hands on top of the city and asked, "I wonder why Prime Minister Cao is here?"
"Brother Jingsheng, why do you ask questions knowingly?" Cao Cao said with a smile: "The great man is not quiet, the truth is here to eliminate the rebellion!"
"Who is the traitor?" Looking at Cao Cao, Liu Biao's eyes shot out.
Cao Cao replied: "Sun Jian from Jiangdong, Yuan Shao from Hebei, and Liu Bei are all traitors!"
"Aren't the champion and I rebellious?" Liu Biao said with a smile: "I think the biggest rebellious person in Prime Minister Cao's heart is us!"
"No!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "From my perspective, you and the champion are both loyal ministers of the court!"
"Okay!" Liu Biao laughed loudly and said, "Whether Prime Minister Cao's words are sincere or not, I am very grateful. However, I will not surrender now!"
"I never wanted you to surrender!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, you only need to send your eldest son to the capital as a hostage!"
"This..." Liu Biao asked with a smile: "Isn't Prime Minister Cao afraid that I will cut off your food route?"
Cao Cao laughed and said: "I'm the best in my life to rob people's food routes. How can I not be careful? I will not lead my troops until you send your eldest son away. If you don't want your eldest son, just come and rob him!"
Liu Biao smiled and said: "In that case, please wait a moment for Meng De..."
