At the critical moment when Yuan Shao was about to perish, Liu Yu's kindness and kindness broke out again. He actually ordered: Yuan Shao is the only one who is the culprit! The rest of the soldiers and the people must not cause harm to them. They must not burn the houses.
Those who violate the order will be killed immediately!
So, a big reversal. Liu Yu's soldiers were unwilling to fight and fight under forced orders. Yuan Shao rushed out under the siege of thousands of troops.
Once Yuan Shao escaped, it wouldn't matter if he evacuated from Nanpi safely. It was really like breaking the jade cage and flying colorful phoenixes, breaking the golden lock and leaving the dragon. Yuan Shao immediately felt happy.
Yuan Shao first asked Qu Yi to lead the 800 dead soldiers to cut off the rear and block Liu Yu's pursuers. Then, Yuan Shao urgently ordered Yan Liang, the general who stationed troops in Zhangwu, to lead 100,000 troops to intercept and kill Liu Yu's troops from the flanks. At the same time, he also ordered Yan Liang, the general who stationed troops in Zhangwu.
The general Zhang He, who was stationed in the Bohai Sea, led 50,000 troops to copy Liu Yu's retreat and directly attacked the capital of Xindu, Liu Yu. Only the general Gao Lan led 100,000 troops to defend Youzhou's intervention.
At the same time, Yuan Shao also wrote a letter to Han Fu of the Wei army, uniting him to raise an army to fight against Liu Yu. He also falsely accused Liu Yu of the two courts in Luoyang and Chang'an to make him want to be emperor, and also held troops hostages and threatened his subordinates to rebel.
After those who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic, they swear to never obey and rise up to resist. They reported to the court.
Yuan Shao used these small methods.
First of all, Qu Yi led the deceased soldiers to fight to the death, which was in sharp contrast with Liu Yu's barely dealing with the soldiers and horses. He successfully blocked Liu Yu's soldiers and horses' pursuit of Yuan Shao.
Secondly, the soldiers and horses trained by Yan Liang took the cavalry of Liu Ming in Youzhou as the imaginary enemy. How tenacious is his ability to respond quickly? How terrifying is his training intensity and combat ability? Although their combat power is
It may not be able to really compare with the Liu Mingde troops in Youzhou. However, their combat effectiveness is compared with those of Liu Yu who have only been trained for a year and are not afraid to let go of fighting. That is really a hundred times stronger.
.This can be easily proved by Yan Liang's rapid mobilization of troops and easily cutting off and defeating Liu Yu's 200,000 troops.
In the end, Yuan Shao's diplomatic methods were also successful. Han Fu thought he was an old official of the Yuan clan, and he had a good relationship with Yuan Shao since he took office. Yuan Shao's ambitions and talent were a hundred times better than him and Liu Yu.
Moreover, in this chaotic world, he cannot be alone. He must unite with the strong to survive under the pressure of this huge environment. Therefore, Han Fu resolutely raised the flag of rebellion, responding to Yuan Shao's letters and raised an army to attack Liu Yu's back.
.
As a result, the tens of thousands of remaining troops and vast territory were surrendered and occupied by Yuan Shao in just a dozen days. So Luoyang and Chang'an have not yet issued the first memorial to Yuan Shao.
Reacting, Yuan Shao's second letter of suppression of rebellion was successfully completed, and the documents of the former general and Leling Hou arrived. These two courts were temporarily unable to deal with Yuan Shao, and were also unwilling to commit crimes against Yuan Shao, who was already in great strength at this time.
Under the circumstances, they agreed to Yuan Shao's request. Of course, all of this included the intention of using Yuan Shao's former general to resist the position of Liu Ming's Grand Marshal. And they also made the revenge of Liu Ming for Liu Yu.
At the time, you plan to take advantage of it.
But! No matter what, after this battle, Yuan Shao not only integrated all the soldiers and horses in Jizhou and Han Fu's soldiers, but after digging out the damage, his strength directly reached a huge number of 500,000. The most important thing is that
It was Yuan Shao who got all the money, grain, horses, armor, and weapons that Liu Yu had saved from working hard to manage Jizhou for many years, and immediately alleviated his imminent military ration and military pay crisis.
The most happy one among them is that Liu Yu and Liu Ming have a good relationship. Liu Yu is the only buyer who is not under the control of horses in Youzhou. Although Liu Yu has not trained cavalry for more than a year, Liu Yu has not trained cavalry.
But there are many horses accumulated, with a total of 30,000. This is a good thing that even if you have money, you can't buy.
However, it is precisely because of this good thing that directly led to the close relationship between Yuan Shao and his brother Yuan Shu, which created a considerable crack.
Who doesn’t love the short-term products like war horses? Especially those princes who are more inclined to the sky but can only look at them, but they can’t find any way to get them. This is especially true for Yuan Shu.
Now that Yuan Shuyi knows that Yuan Shao has so many treasures, how can he not be jealous?
Especially for Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao was just a son born in a concubine, and he could not be considered the orthodox family of the Yuan family. It was just that Yuan Shao was adopted by chance to his uncle, and thus became the representative of the Yuan family to the outside world. But in fact, he was only
It is the true orthodox blood relationship of the Yuan family. I asked Yuan Shao for horses, but I looked down on him. And I didn't ask him for too much. It was so easy for him to get his war horses, so I only got half of them, of course it was not an exaggeration at all.
.
But! Yuan Shu would think so, and Yuan Shao didn't think so at all.
Yuan Shao was also very precious to these war horses. The treasure war horse he had finally obtained was so hard that the ignorant brother wanted to take away half of it. It was a lion who spoke very much.
Moreover, because he was a son of a concubine, Yuan Shao always paid attention to his image and identity. In the second year of Jiaping, Yuan Shao met his mother's mourning. For his reputation, Yuan Shao avoided his official position and stayed at the office for six years, and it was just a daily life.
At every moment, Yuan Shao also showed a demeanor of respecting the wise and self-restrained. Therefore, after Yuan Shao put in so much hard work to gain a good reputation, he naturally looked down on him as an orthodox person, and nothing else
After Yuan Shu was rejected by Yuan Shao, he became angry and thought that Yuan Shao was so powerful that he had obtained a high-ranking official like the former general, and looked down on him, a legitimate successor of the Yuan family who was just the prefect of Huainan. Yuan Shu immediately decided to further expand his army and expand his army.
It is better to ask the court for a larger official position. But! Now Yuan Shu’s army of 250,000 is already the limit of Yuan Shu’s military, horse, money and food. If he wants to expand his army, his food will definitely not be able to support him.
.
Yuan Shu was a legitimate descendant of his four generations and three righteous people. He had a great face and wide connections. He immediately wrote a book to Liu Biao from Jingzhou and borrowed 200,000 stones of grain from him.
But Yuan Shu didn't think about it. Now the whole country has been greatly expanded by the arms race between Liu Ming and Dong Zhuo. No one has much food now, so how could Liu Biao lend him surplus food! Of course, Liu Biao refused to tell the truth.
Although Liu Biao refused openly, Yuan Shu didn't think so. Yuan Shu thought to himself: Jingzhou is a hometown of fish and rice, with a lot of money and grain. How could he have no surplus grain to lend him? Then, Yuan Shu remembered that Yuan Shao asked Liu Biao to intercept Sun Jian and Liu Biao
I immediately obediently did it. Liu Biao must be from Yuan Shao and his gang.
Yuan Shu was angry and became brave. He immediately sent a letter to Sun Jian, a subordinate who had been hiding in his name since he attacked Dong Zhuo, asking Sun Jian to send troops to attack Liu Biao.
However, Yuan Shu also knew that although Sun Jian had nominally praised him, Sun Jian was essentially his own school. Therefore, Yuan Shu's letters to Sun Jian were quite tactful, mainly focusing on provocation.
When Sun Jian answered the letter, he saw that the letter mainly told him that Liu Biao was from the same group as Yuan Shao. When he was intercepted and blocked by Liu Biao, it was Yuan Shao's order. Now, Yuan Shao has become stronger and stronger and has made great progress.
, intending to seize his treasure, and preparing to join forces with Liu Biao to attack him again. Yuan Shu could not see his subordinates suffer losses, so he sent him a letter and was ready to help him deal with Yuan Shao, so he could fight against Liu Biao with peace of mind.
.At that time, Yuan Shu will get Jizhou and his Jingzhou will be happy on both sides.
After Sun Jian finished reading it, he laughed loudly. At that moment, the generals gathered to discuss the matter.
After reading the letter, Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "Yuan Shu is cunning, and this matter is not necessarily credible."
Sun Jian laughed and said, "I don't know how Yuan Shu is. But what does it have to do with Yuan Shu when I take revenge? Can we still expect Yuan Shu to help us?"
When the generals around thought that Sun Jian had made up his mind, a young general shook his head and sighed: "Although Yuan Shao could not cross Yanzhou and other places and cross the land to attack us, since Yuan Shu gave us such a letter,
Then we have no worries for the time being. It is the great opportunity for the Lord to declare that Liu Biao had cut off our return in the past. But now the bandit Yan Baihu has not yet been pacified, and the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Zhengli, and Zhang Xiu from Nanyang, are all on the side.
If we rashly attack the royal family member Liu Biao for no reason, and Liu Biao will not be able to defend himself with the natural danger of the Yangtze River, we will not be able to attack for a while. I am afraid that these princes and bandits will not miss this great opportunity.
, and it is unfavorable to us."
The young general's words poured a basin of cold water on everyone. The analysis was too accurate. Moreover, this sentence came from the young general's words, and no one did not believe that things would develop in this direction.
The young general is not only a young child prodigy, but also a friend of Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.
Zhou Yu, whose courtesy name is Gongjin, was from Lushu (now Shucheng, Anhui). He was a gentry landlord from Jiangdong. He had a good relationship with Sun Ce since he was a child. Xiang Buyan, and he would always get what he said. This is a time that everyone here knows.
thing.
When Sun Jian heard Zhou Yu’s words, he withdrew his hot mind and said indignantly: “Did we miss this opportunity and reject Yuan Shu?”
Zhou Yu also shook his head and said, "No! If the lord rejects Yuan Shu completely and uses Yuan Shu's petty heart, he will definitely raise troops to attack us. Although we may not be afraid of him. But we are fighting with cranes and clams, for others, fishermen will be able to win.
Li. Wouldn't that let the lord's nemesis Liu Biao try his wish?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jian said angrily: "That's absolutely impossible. This general would rather fight Liu Biao to death than give Liu Biao a bargain."
Zhou Yu advised: "Don't be angry. There is still something to do. We just pretend to agree to Yuan Shu's proposal, bluff the way to collect ships and attack Liu Biao, and at the same time, we will be punished with Liu Zhengli and Zhang Xiuxu.
But we secretly concentrated our troops and stepped up the extermination of Yan Baihu, then put down Liu Zhengli, and then joined forces with Yuan Shu to destroy Zhang Xiu, and finally slowed down the goal of Jingzhou, so that the lord's foundation could be established. It is expected to compete for dominance in the world."
After Sun Jian obtained the jade seal, he thought he had a sign of destiny, so he was most enthusiastic about fighting for dominance in the world. Just now, Sun Jian deliberately followed Yuan Shu's opinion. Revenge was one aspect, and the most important thing was that Liu Biao intercepted himself for the jade seal last time, and Yuan Shao used to
He also pursued the jade seal from himself. Therefore, when Yuan Shu said this, Sun Jian believed it. Secondly, Sun Jian couldn't stand the crazy expansion of the army now. Conquering Jingzhou and alleviating his economic pressure, for Sun Jian,
That was also a big temptation. But now Zhou Yu has dispelled all his concerns and has drawn such a good path for him. Can Sun Jian agree happily?
And Sun Jian's fake attack and real attack, all the reactions around him came out.
Liu Biao didn't know whether it was true or not, so he could only actively prepare for the challenge. After all, Sun Jian's name as the tiger in Jiangdong was there.
However, Kuai Liang, who was under Liu Biao, did not give it to him for nothing. He advised Liu Biao: "Lord, don't worry. I have the natural danger of the Yangtze River as a basis. Then Sun Jian came across the river and crossed the lake. How can he use martial arts? The general Huang Zu, a general, needs to be ordered to be ordered.
Leading Jiangxia's troops as the front drive. The lord led Jingxiang's troops as the backbone, so he was free of worries."
So, Huang Zu, who was under Liu Biao and Kuai Yue, the Kuai brothers, were sent by Liu Biao to Jiangxia to prevent him.
Zhang Xiu from Nanyang held Dong Zhuo as his backer and also set up a carriage and horse to pick up cheap. Although Liu Zhengli from Yangzhou recently received assistance from his fellow countrymen, Liu Yao was not only good at all because of the world.
Taishici's evaluation and sighed: "If I use Ziyi, Xu Zi will laugh at me for not knowing how to use people!" So, he just gave Taishici an official position to supervise military information. He himself was also greedy for being safe in Yangzhou.
Self-protection is enough.
In this case, Yan Baihu could no longer support him and fled to Xu Gong.
At the same time, Sun Jian was busy with troops, so of course Yuan Shu would not be idle. Of course, Yuan Shu could not travel thousands of miles to Jizhou to attack Yuan Shao. But Yuan Shu also took this opportunity to do his best to deal with his own territory.
Bai Rao.
Bai Rao couldn't bear to eat Yuan Shu's ruthlessness. He was forced to go to the end by Ji Ling, a general under Yuan Shu. In the end, Bai Rao had to run to Sili, and join Guo Taibing to fight the family and get along.
But the local officials in Sili could not stand it. They immediately asked the two so-called courts for help, but unexpectedly, this action gave Cao Cao a great opportunity.
