The spring night is bitter and short, and the day is high, and the king does not rise early from then on.
On the second day, after Liu Bei got up in high spirits, he wanted to say that Bai Lotian did not deceive me in this poem. In the afternoon, Zhang Fei returned to Shouchun and brought back the bodies of Yuan Shu and Liu Xun as expected.
Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shu's pale face after losing blood. It's not a taste in my heart, and the fragments of those young and elegant fresh clothes and angry horses have emerged in my heart again. Gongsun Chan is dead, and Yuan Shu is dead. These princes, like meteors, illuminate the sky of history, and disappear in an instant. Next, whose turn will it be?
Stopping his emotion, Liu Bei ordered Yuan Shu and Liu Xun to be buried in the high ground outside Shouchun City. Yuan Shu died, and the counties of Jiujiang looked down on the wind.
Sun Jian was in Lujiang, and heard that Yuan Shu died, so he also led the army into Jiujiang, and Chen Ji of Hefei heard that Shouchun was not guaranteed, so he surrendered Sun Jian. Liu Beibing walked halfway, and heard that Chen Ji descended to Sun Jian, and Hefei was owned by Sun Jian. I was shocked and hurriedly led the army to Hefei.
Under the city of Bingtun, he sent an envoy to Sun Jian to be responsible: "Brother Wentai, Chen Ji is a rebel general, why should my brother accept it in vain?" Please behead it to show the people. β
Sun Jian has just won Chen Ji's people, where is he willing to follow. categorically refused: "Xuande's words are fallacious. Who is without fault? After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. At that time, each was his main ear. Now that they have abandoned darkness and turned to light, how can I harm them? Now I was ordered to come to Muyangzhou, and Xuande can retire. β
Liu Bei got the letter and led the army to attack Hefei. At this time, the two sides already knew that Chen Ji was just an excuse for war. One wants to use the name of Yangzhou Mu to let Liu Bei withdraw from Jiujiang County; One wants to grasp Chen Ji is rebellion and wants to seize Hefei.
The two sides fought a big battle in Hefei, Sun Jian was defeated and retreated to Xiang'an. In the north of Xiang'an, the water upstream of the water is built at the mouth of the water to reject Liu Bei.
Liu Bei not only broke Sun Jian, but also did not take Hefei, and also led the army to guard Shouchun. Suspicious left and right, Liu Bei said: "Hefei has no danger to defend, and it is useless to keep it." It's better to retreat and defend Huai. β
As soon as Yuan Shu died, Liu Bei's goal of rebellion had been achieved. At this time, Yangzhou also has a new owner. Liu Bei also knew that he could not try Yangzhou again for the time being. However, the hard-earned territory cannot be cheaper than Sun Jian. So Liu Bei continued to occupy several counties in the north of Jiujiang in the name of uncleared bandits, and firmly held the Huaishui line.
From the topographical point of view, Cao Cao can enter the Huai from the Yingshui, and Sun Jian can also enter the Huai from the Lujiang River. Huaishui runs through Xuzhou and then enters the sea. Therefore, Liu Bei guards the upper reaches of Huaishui, basically, it can also ensure the safety of Xuzhou.
Sun Jian was a justifiable Yangzhou pastor, and he was willing to sit back and watch Liu Bei's tiger in Huaishui, so he recruited warriors and prepared to fight Liu Bei again.
At this time, news came from the north that Yuan Shao commanded 50,000 troops to attack Youzhou. Youzhou Mu Liu Yu retreated one after another. Shouchun, Liu Bei is watching Liu Yu's letter asking for help. After reading it, Liu Bei sighed, he couldn't stay here, and he had to return north immediately to save Liu Yu. In any case, Youzhou cannot be owned by Liu Yu.
After thinking about it, Liu Bei summoned Guan Yu over and said: "Yun Chang, there is something in the north, I will return to the north, I want to stay in Ruzhen to guard Shouchun, and use Sun and Cao to protect me in the south." What do you think? β
Guan Yujiuzhen Plain, and Jizhou for many years, rich experience. Hearing this, he said, "I wish to guard this land for the Lord." β
Liu Bei instructed again. Because of the death of Vice General Guan Yu in battle, Wu Kuang, a pro-army soldier, was his deputy general. Before leaving, he said: "Yun Chang, the southern military, do your best." Discuss everything with Zhang Zibu, Chen Yuanlong, etc., don't lose my hope. β
He also expressed Chen Deng's father, Chen Qi, as the next minister, and ordered Chen Zhi to be the general of Zhonglang and guard Pengcheng. Then he led the army back to the north.
Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and had high ambitions. Then in the spring moon, he raised troops again, and took advantage of Liu Bei's southern expedition to raise troops to ask for Liu Yu's disrespectful words and the crime of arguing about the court.
After passing through Yishui, Yuan Shao was full of ambition, and said with a smile: "I have the wealth of Jizhou, and the courage of Youzhou, sweeping China, who can resist me?" β
The army was in Zhuo County, and the town general Xian Yufu was in a hurry while leading the army to battle. First fought in Beixincheng, and then fought in Fanyang. Lost two games in a row.
Liu Yu was shocked when he got the letter. Liu Yu has the talent to govern peace, is benevolent and can negotiate with him, and is loyal to defend the country. But he doesn't know about military affairs. Since sitting in Youzhou, the military aspect has also been maintained by Gongsun Chan and his generals. Later generations have poems that commented on Liu Yu: The Han family has no Zhou Dan, and the heavens send loyal and virtuous soldiers not to practice. Now that Yuan Shao has raised troops to attack, he has rarely lost consecutive defeats, so how can he not be surprised.
Just when Liu Yu summoned the ministers to discuss the matter, an even worse news came. The high-ranking cadres of the state led the cavalry to invade Dai County, and Yan Rou, the captain of Wuhuan, was alone and sent an envoy to ask for reinforcements.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind. Liu Yu couldn't help but lose color when he heard the letter: "Bitter, the sky wants to die in my secluded state?" β
Qi Zhou said: "Don't panic, the lord can make General Xian Yu go to aid Zhuo County, and Yan Rou will retire to Baodai County and Dangcheng." Then quickly send Qingzhou to move the rescue troops. β
Liu Yu sighed: "Xuande's southern expedition to Yuan Shu, how can it be in time." β
Qi Zhou said: "Although Liu Qingzhou is going south, all political affairs are entrusted to Xun Wenruo, and with his ability, he will send troops to save me." β
Liu Yu obeyed his words, so he ordered Du Wei Xian Yuyin to ride 20,000 to save Zhuo County. Another 800 li was urgently dispatched to Qingzhou to move rescue troops. He also remembered that Wuhuan was coming, so he sent people to the place where Wuhuan was recruited to obey the order.
Qingzhou Xun Yu got the letter, so he ordered someone to send a letter to Liu Bei in Yangzhou. He also sent Zhao Yun and Tian Yu soldiers out of the Qinghe River to attack Yuan Shao's side.
Zhao Yun and Tian Yufang entered the Qinghe, and the general Zhang Jaw led the army to intercept it. The two armies fought a battle at Qinghe, but they could not win each other, so they confronted each other in Ganling. Before leaving, Yuan Shao had an order: "If Qingzhou comes to attack, you only need to hold on and delay, there is no other way, you can abandon the cities and retreat to the boundary bridge." "Yuan Shao had long expected that Qingzhou might send troops to attack his rear, his plan was to fight whatever you wanted, I just need to defend the boundary bridge and other dangerous places, so that you can't hit Yecheng for a while, and when Liu Yu is defeated, the overall situation will be decided.
Zhang Jaw kept it in mind, used troops extremely cautiously, did not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and was entangled with Zhao Yun and Tian Yu. After a long time, Zhao Yun also reacted, so he and Tian Yuyi combined and led the army to turn around.
The open jaw made people probe that Zhao Yun led the army to the north, and the heart could not let you go north to Youzhou. So he led the rank to chase after him. Zhao Yun and Tian Yu set up an ambush in front of them to capture Zhang Jaw.
Unexpectedly, he opened his jaw and was as careful as a hair, and saw that the terrain was strange, so he sent scouts to explore it first, and then formed a formation and walked slowly, leaving no flaws.
Zhao Yunxin said that this would not work, so he and Tian Yuyi combined, and the two divided their troops. So Zhao Yun ordered the soldiers to set up more banners to confuse the enemy, and led the army to fight around the Qinghe River, while Tian Yu took advantage of the night to lead a group of men and horses and went to the north.
Yuan Shao has a countermeasure, but Xun Yu can't be calculated. After sending Zhao Yun's army, Xun Yu sent a letter to Lu Zhi again, asking him to make his own decisions according to the situation in Youzhou.
Before Lu Zhi received Xun Yu's letter, he had already made a move when he heard that Yuan Shao was coming to attack Youzhou. Hearing that Yuan Shao's troops were rising, the Wuhuan tribes were also surging with undercurrents and ready to move. Lu Zhi then ordered Huang Zhong to move to the army without worry, so as to suppress Zhuhu.
He also summoned Su Fuyan and others to come to see him, and said sharply: "My Han family promised to use pastureland, and it was easy to use salt and iron. For you and so on to support the people. If you dare to be disobedient, do you think that the sword in my hand is not good? β
The lords of the tribe only promised to bow down and go away.
Liu Yu sent an envoy to Badun, and Yuan Shao naturally would not let Badun go, not to mention that the two sides had been allies in cooperation. After meeting with the envoys from both sides, he retreated into the inner tent and said: "Today, Liu Yu is weak, and Yuan Shaoqiang is strong." How can I help? β
Left and right: "But the voucher is in charge." β
Bun Dun said to himself: "I helped Yuan Shao before, but he sat back and didn't save him. How can a perfidious person be helped? Liu Yu is weak and is not Yuan Shao's enemy, nor can he help. So neither of them was saved, but they sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.
