On the second day of May in the fourth year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty, the Jianghuai land was in turmoil again. After resting for two months in Tancheng, Qingzhou, which had completed its reorganization, mobilized its entire army and marched southward, aiming directly at Xiapi City!
For all the heroes in the world, this incident was both expected and unexpected.
How could anyone be allowed to sleep soundly beside the couch? Liu Bei's move was undoubtedly a major provocation. How could Wang Yu, a man who was determined to retaliate against others, leave Liu Bei alone?
However, after all, the important weapons of the military and state cannot be influenced by personal emotions. Although Wang Yu acts very domineeringly, he always has a very specific purpose every time he raises troops. Even his seemingly innocent intention to go north to help in the war has now become a
This example of foresighted strategic decision-making has been analyzed and studied by many military strategists.
In addition, the rationality and restraint Wang Yu showed before was also very confusing.
More importantly, due to the connection between Chen Gong, Xu You, Chen Deng and his son, some conspiracies brewing in the dark have almost become an open secret. Due to Yuan Shu's sudden betrayal, Wang Yu may also be aware of it.
.
If he knew about it and understood what it meant, Wang Yu would surely know what a big change it would be, and the entire situation in Hebei might be reversed as a result!
On the eve of a huge change that could happen at any time, brazenly sending out troops?
Is Pengju's child crazy again? This is the sigh that many insiders unanimously expressed at the first time.
Did Yuan Shu show his loyalty for the first time, or did Pengju regard it as Xu You's bluffing strategy? There are many speculations, but no matter what everyone thinks, the facts are irreversible.
After reorganization, the Donghai Yulin Army reached 12,000 people and was divided into two armies: left and right.
The left army is composed of Langya Yulin headquarters. After selection and supplementation, it has a total of 5,500 infantry and 500 cavalry. The infantry has 500 heavy armor and 1,000 bows and crossbows. The remaining 4,000 are all armed with spears.
Long soldiers; the right army was composed of the Tancheng left-behind troops and the Danyang surrender army. The size was also six thousand, all of which were infantry, but the types of arms were extremely diverse.
There are heavily armored swordsmen and axemen, less well-armed sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, long iron halberds, heavy hammers and clubs, axes and hooks, and even a small group of people who regard strange weapons such as caltrops and caltrops as their own.
The weapons installed... It doesn't look like these 6,000 troops are going to fight, but rather like they are going to an armed parade and a weapons display.
Of course, if anyone underestimates the Right Army because of their various weapons, that would be a big mistake.
Although the configuration of these warriors is very messy and strange, their formation is terrifyingly orderly. Even when they are marching, they are as neat as knives. If it weren't for the uneven lengths of weapons that destroy the beauty of the team to a certain extent.
, the military appearance of this strong army is completely inferior to that of the Left Army which has been reorganized for two years.
Only Danyang warriors in this world can form an army so quickly and form a combat effectiveness.
It's a pity that in the war of troubled times, the ending of Danyang soldiers who are good at fighting is not so happy.
In the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms, the Soochow regime that occupied Danyang County had to repeatedly move and immigrate from other places in order to ensure the population size of Danyang County. The Danyang people who truly have a tradition of fighting had already had ten families before this.
It was all gone. This powerful army just disappeared silently into the long river of history, never to appear again.
But at this moment, the reorganization and formation of this army brought the heroes of the world not sighs, but shock.
What was even more shocking than the Qingzhou Army's march south was Que Xuan's response.
After being exploited by Wang Yu in Tancheng, the Que family's private army was no longer the same as before. However, Que Xuan was like a naughty boy who cared about food but not beating. He was slapped by Wang Yu and given a sweet date.
The strategy was completely conquered.
Almost at the same time that the Qingzhou Army reorganized and moved south, Que Xuan once again set out from his hometown of Quyang. With 2,500 men and horses, he attacked Cao Bao and defended Xiaxiang City, intending to cut off the connection between Xiapi and Guangling.
posture.
Although he only has two thousand soldiers, no one dares to underestimate him.
Since the negotiations had been going smoothly, in the end Wang Yu raised his hand and only asked for 500 heavy armor from Que Xuan, and paid the money readily. Therefore, although Que Xuan's military strength shrank, the most powerful heavy armor infantry
There are still 1,500 soldiers left, and the rest are 1,000 strong crossbowmen.
With such a military strength, no matter how small the number is, who dares to underestimate him?
After the news spread, Xiaxiang City was shocked three times a day, and the guard Cao Bao sent letters to all parties at a frequency of more than five times a day. Speaking of all parties, in fact, the only people he could sue now were Liu Bei and Liu Bei of Xiapi.
The Chen family in Guangling.
For Cao Bao, the spring and summer of this year were like a nightmare from which he could not wake up - a confusing defeat, a huge momentum, the inexplicable collapse of an alliance with many members, and the inexplicable collapse of some powerful members.
Turning against each other! Is there any way to continue living like this?
Actually, he wasn't very worried about Que Xuan.
Although the soldiers of the former emperor were elite, they had never experienced a real war. Although Cao Bao only had more than 2,000 defeated soldiers under his command, he was still sure of holding the city. Although Xiaxiang City was not big, it was not two thousand.
They can be surrounded by 1,500 infantry. As for the Qingzhou Army... isn't it blocked by Liu Bei?
What makes him uneasy is Yuan Shu, a capricious and despicable villain!
This villain also responded to the Qingzhou Army's march south, and he didn't just clap and applaud, he really took action!
The Huainan army was divided into two groups. Lei Bo and Le led an army of 10,000 to the north to attack Pengcheng where Zhang Fei was defending; Zhang Xun and Chen Ji's 8,000 army marched eastward along the Suishui River, starting from Qilu and attacking all the way.
Attack over, and the troops will be directed towards the prime minister where Cao Bao is!
Along the route of Zhang Xun's army, only Suiling was stationed by Liu Bei's army. A border fortress like this was completely empty. Even at Suiling, the defender was just an unknown Yellow Turban thief with only 500 troops and horses. There was no hope.
No. For Cao Bao, he would be in danger of being attacked from both sides at any time. How could he not be anxious?
In the first five days of the war, Cao Bao not only complained but also cursed. The person who cursed the most was Yuan Shu, followed by Wang Yu and Liu Bei. Most of the emergency letters were sent to Guangling. At this time, only the Chen family could
Worth relying on.
However, there is no use in cursing, and there is no use in asking for help.
It is impossible for people to be scolded to death and injured; and although Chen Deng and his son are very resourceful, they are only local tycoons after all, and their sources of intelligence are limited, which makes them completely unprepared for this unexpected situation.
Can you handle it?
As for Liu Bei, he sent letters to comfort Cao Bao every day, telling him to have confidence. To have courage and perseverance is to win. Of course Cao Bao didn't accept this trick. If shouting slogans is useful, why do we need an army? Now it's real swordsmanship.
In a life-and-death battle with guns, is it useful to shout these empty slogans?
Among all the bad news, the only thing that gave him some comfort was that the three enemy armies were not advancing very fast, especially the Qingzhou Army who was the first to raise troops.
It had been five or six days since the war started, and their vanguard had not arrived in Liangcheng until they officially launched the siege of Xiapi, which would have to wait at least ten days. And the two allied forces of the Qingzhou Army seemed to be waiting for news about the main battlefield. Zhang Xun's attack
After making the decision, he has been holding back his troops; Lei Bo is still wandering around Wuxian County, a hundred miles away from Pengcheng, staying at a safe distance.
Only Que Xuan was more anxious and rushed to the east bank of Surabaya early and started a confrontation with Cao Bao in Xiaxiang City. Cao Bao was not interested in chewing the hard nut of Que Xuan, but Que Xuan refused to stop and showed off his power to the defenders.
In response to the challenge, he summoned his friends, called on local powerful men to join the fight against Liu, and presented a certificate of surrender to the Qingzhou Army.
Although the Que family considers themselves noble and rarely interacts with other wealthy families, since they drink from the same river, the Que family cannot really be independent from the local area. In the past two months, Li Bin has also been jumping up and down. The most important thing is
Yes. The massive offensive of the three armies scared many people.
As a result, more and more wealthy families responded to Que Xuan.
On the one hand, they sent people to meet Liangcheng, and on the other hand, they also organized their own private soldiers and gathered them from all directions to meet with the Prime Minister to join forces with Que Xuan.
Most of these wealthy families are not big families, and their strength is relatively limited, but they can't handle their large numbers. Each family sends out a few children and brings dozens or hundreds of family soldiers. Twenty families will have more than a thousand people, and two hundred families will have more than a thousand people.
An army of tens of thousands!
That's right, when Cao Bao finally realized something was wrong, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had gathered outside the city, and Xiaxiang City was completely surrounded. Only the waterway could still pass, but looking at this situation, the waterway was blocked, that is, three or five
It's a matter of God.
Cao Bao was so shocked that he almost fell down from the top of the city!
He was so regretful that he almost burst out of his intestines.
If he had known that Que Xuan, a loser, could make such a big splash, he should have taken action earlier - it was not possible to attack Que Xuan first. This bone was too hard, and even a sneak attack would not gain much advantage. Cao Bao thought
The best thing is to leave as soon as possible. No matter what, we should go to Guangling first to avoid this disaster.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
If the current situation continues to evolve, Xia Xiangcheng will have to explain before Wang Yu and Liu Bei can decide the outcome.
Who would have thought that so many families would be deceived by lard, and rush to serve just because Wang Yu loosened his tone? Who could have thought that in such a short period of time, Wang Yu would
How could Yu actually bewitch so many people and have such terrifying appeal?
It’s not that Cao Bao doesn’t work hard, it’s because the enemy is too evil!
Since the connection with Guangling had been cut off, Cao Bao had no escape route to surrender. He could only desperately send a message to Liu Bei, hoping that the other party would try to rescue him, or at least give him a companion when he ran away.
As a result, Liu Bei's reply arrived the next day. It no longer contained those vain words and slogans, but only a concise and murderous sentence: You can choose the elite and decide the world in one battle! (To be continued. If

Not long ago, the previous masters had about the same number of votes as Xiaoyu. A single chapter gave Xiaoyu more than 100 votes, and he couldn't even see his shadow. It was so elegant. Xiaoyu only had 10 votes for a single chapter in an afternoon.
All are familiar faces.
I'm very happy, but also very frustrated. It seems that my character is really bad. Even if I work while sick and never update it, I still can't compare with the real masters.
I won’t write anymore today. Let’s read the masterpieces of masters and see how good their books are and how bad Xiaoyu’s writing is.
