Chapter 379: Yuan Liu's Great War (9)

With such a large contingent passing through their own jurisdiction, it is impossible not to pay attention to the recruitment. Just as Lu Bu and his party were about to cross the river, Zhao finally knew who was involved with Lu Bu.

Although the rangers of Lu Bu's army have been cruising outside, the detailed work of the lead cannot be explored more carefully. But just relying on the banners of Zhang Xiu, Duan Xuan and Lu Bu is enough to show what a huge force this is. What do these people want to do when they join forces? The subconscious feeling is not good. So he quickly sent the information he knew to Yuan Shang's desk in Huguan.

After Yuan Shang saw the letter from Zhao, he asked the messenger: "Does Lu Bu have the intention of attacking my Huguan?" ”

The messenger shook his head when he heard this, and said, "After Lu Bu failed to attack the city of the eldest son, he will no longer attack the cities in my state. ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he laughed: "Since that's the case, don't care what he does." ”

He looked at the map again, and said as if asking rhetorically: "What do you say Lu Bu and the others are doing when they gather in Zhangshui?" Yuan Shang's heart was already happy, Lu Bu and others gathered in Zhangshui, it was impossible to cross the river to the north, because there was Jinyang in front and Huguan in the back, and there was no way to go after Lu Bu's army crossed the river. So there was only one possibility left, which was to go down the river into Jizhou and go to Wei County. Although he still doesn't know why Lu Bu is going like this and what his purpose is, his brother is in trouble.

Lu Bu was suppressed by his cousin Gao Gan in the upper party, if he was unwilling to stay in the Wei clan and wanted to go to Wei County to stir up trouble and rain, this would also be in line with Lu Bu's character. Didn't he attack the city of the firstborn before? It's just that it wasn't taken. I think it's because I think it's not easy to fight in Bingzhou, and I'm going to fight Wei County.

As soon as I thought of Lu Bu, the plague god, leaving Bingzhou and going to plague Wei County. Yuan Shang's first reaction was not to inform his father and Wei Jun of the hostile situation, but to gloat. His father sat in Xiongzhou, and after the defeat of his uncle Yuan Shu, he was the only heir of the Yuan family in Runan. The world is in turmoil until now, and the future may mean that the country will change color, and after the world changes, his father is the master of the world. Whoever of the three brothers can perform better will be the prince of the world in the future. The eldest brother's ability is mediocre, but he has some advantages by virtue of his status as the eldest son, which makes his father hesitate until now. If Lu Bu attacked Wei County this time, he caught the eldest brother off guard. Hehe, then my father will know who is better. After all, he drove Lu Bu out of the state.

Yuan Shao was on the front line, and he didn't know that the two sons in the rear were already starting to play tricks and cause infighting. After he besieged the city of Gu'an, he marched to Zhuo County. Zhuo County is being stormed. At this time, after Zhao Yun and Tian Yu had a quarrel in Jizhou for a while, they received Liu Bei's order to lead troops north quickly and entangle Yuan Shao. Liu Yu from Youzhou sent a letter, there was no general in charge, and Zhuoxian was afraid that he would not be able to hold it.

Under Liu Yu, Tian Chou guarded his hometown, Yan Rou cooperated with Huang Zhong in Dai County, Xian Yufu stayed in Ji County, and it was Qi Zhou who guarded the city in Zhuo County at this time. Qi Zhou was engaged in Liu Yu's command, a Confucian student, although he had been in Youzhou for a long time, he had also experienced a lot of wars. But assisting from the sidelines and directing in person are two different concepts entirely. What's more, what he is facing is Yuan Shao, a prince. After a few days, he was staggered, and his strength was overwhelmed. I had to ask for help quickly.

Liu Yu received a letter of aid from Qi Zhou and sent Wei You and Cheng Xu to lead 5,000 troops to rescue Zhuo County. As a result, Yuan Shao set up an ambush on the way, and there was a big battle, the Jizhou general Wen Chou beheaded Cheng Xu, and Wei You led more than 1,000 remnants of the army to flee back to Jixian County, and the rest were all ink. At this time, Liu Yu was frightened, Youzhou was originally short of troops, and he had to defend against the Hu people who were about to move in Liaoxi, and there were thousands of soldiers all of a sudden, and Liu Yu was distressed to death. There is still a Ji County to guard, Liu Yu thought about it, and he didn't dare to send Xian Yufu out. So he flew to Liu Bei. said that the two families joined forces to deal with Yuan Shao, and they couldn't be crippled in Youzhou, and the Qingzhou Allied Army didn't appear yet, right?

After Liu Bei received the letter, he quickly asked Zhao Yuntianyu, who was still sabotaging in Jizhou, to quickly go north to support the Youzhou front. It's a pity that they hurried and hurried, and it was still late. When they arrived in Zhuo County, they got information that Zhuo County had been broken by Yuan Shao, Qi Zhou died in the battle, and the rest were scattered.

Yuan Shao in Zhuo County was very happy. It's not that he doesn't know that Liu Bei's Qingzhou army is making trouble in Jizhou. But Youzhou is the most important, as long as Youzhou is captured by him, then Liu Bei's Qingzhou army will naturally retreat. So far, it's working well.

Zhuoxian was taken, and one of Liu Yu's support forces was swallowed by him. Moreover, in this war, Liu Yu's Qi Zhou and Cheng Xu were both defeated and died. After the Youzhou forces, Gongsun Zhan was destroyed, Liu Yu was constantly weakened by him. The last time he came to attack, Liu Yu died Xian Yuyin, and this time Qi Zhou and Cheng Xu died. If this continues, how many people are available under Liu Yu's account? There are no soldiers and no generals, does Liu Yu lead his troops into battle himself?

In Yuan Shao's opinion, even if Liu Yu can't be completely eliminated this time, Liu Yu won't be able to last long. When the time comes, the local government in Youzhou will naturally observe the words and choose the strong to take refuge. His army is already stationed in Youzhou, will those people still choose to take refuge in Liu Bei?

Zhao Yun saw that Zhuo County was not saved, so he went to Guangyang to see Liu Yu and said: "Envoy, Yuan Shaoxing is far away, and it can't be long." So that the king led the army to guard the city of Ji, and I and the country let Tun ride outside. If Yuan Shao comes to attack the city, I and the country will come to the rescue; If Yuan Shao came to attack me, he would lead troops to attack him. This horn momentum also. When Yuan Shao's food is exhausted, we will all come out, and we can break Jizhou with one drum. ”

Liu Yu followed his plan and then made Zhao Yun set up a camp outside the city to wait for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was resting in Zhuo County, and Tian Feng came to see him and said: "My lord, there have been rumors in the army that the Yunqingzhou cavalry has invaded Jizhou in a big way, and the soldiers are uneasy. If so? ”

Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Qing also said that it was a rumor, how can it be taken seriously." If there is really something in Jizhou, I will report to me. And I have my own appointment with Meng De, Liu Bei really dares to mess with my Jizhou, and its situation is also chaotic, what are you afraid of. ”

They are all human spirits, and the army is on the Northern Expedition, how can the state not have a reason to leave a backhand? Yuan Shao attacked Youzhou for the first time, but returned in vain. This time, Yuan Shao secretly did enough work. invited Liyi, who had decided to be idle for a lifetime, out of the mountain again, and entrusted him with military and political affairs, so that he could sit in the old nest of Yecheng. In addition, he also colluded with Cao Cao, and agreed that if Liu Bei's army came out to attack Jizhou, Cao Cao would send troops to attack Qingzhou. At that time, Liu Bei will definitely return to the army. As long as Cao Cao can successfully hold Liu Bei back, after Yuan Shao defeats Liu Yu and takes Youzhou, he will fully support Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou. At that time, if Liu Bei makes small moves to deal with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will also send troops to attack Qingzhou.

Cao Cao listened to this plan and hit it off with Yuan Shao. Isn't his failure to attack Jingzhou this time because of Liu Bei's troubles. If he helped Yuan Shao this time, next time he marched into Jingzhou, Yuan Shao would definitely help him. At that time, Liu Bei himself will not be busy, where will he have time to save Jingzhou?

Poor Liu Bei didn't know that he had become the public enemy of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. It's a pity that Yuan Shao has calculated everything, but he can't count people's hearts. Zhang Fei led thousands of cavalry to swagger into his old nest of Wei County, while he entrusted him with the task of Lu Yi and his eldest son Yuan Tan chose to conceal it for various reasons. Thus losing a huge fighter. If Yuan Tan reported it as soon as possible, he was afraid that Cao Cao's army would cross the Yellow River and directly enter Wei County to encircle and suppress Zhang Fei with Yuan Tanlai.

But he didn't. No matter what the reason is, after Yuan Shao returns to his teacher, he will not forgive him. From the moment Yuan Tan listened to Ko Yi's advice, the position of heir was completely out of his line.
