Chapter 331: Southern Expedition to Yuan Shu (2)
After the Suiling surrendered, Guan Yu took advantage of the night to cross the Huai, so that people reported to Yan Yan, and the two armies discussed the joint attack on Xutai. On this day, Yan Yan besieged the city, from morning to dusk, and still did not stop at night, raising fire and fighting at night.
Lei Bo incarnated as a firefighter for a whole day, and at this time he was already exhausted, looking at the Han army fighting at night under the city, he felt strange, and couldn't help but wonder: "What does the Han army want?" ”
Yan Yan led the army to storm the south gate and the east gate, Lei Boxin said, if you want to fight, you can do it. After tonight, I will transfer troops from Suiling to see how long you can consume. So he personally patrolled the city and strictly ordered the soldiers to defend it.
When Lei Bo fought bloodily in Nancheng, Guan Yu also led an army and ambushed under the city of Taipei. Lei Bo was in the Huaishui of Taipei City, and the rear was Suiling, so most of the defenders were transferred to the southern city to defend, and there were only a few hundred people at the gate of the northern city. Guan Yu found out the truth, so he made Jian die in a secluded place to climb the city, and then raided the city gate. The defenders of Beicheng never thought that there would be Han troops coming from the other side of the Huaishui. Caught off guard, he was killed by the Han army. Guan Yu saw the fire at the gate of the city, and knew that he had succeeded, so he gave an order, and the army rushed in.
By the time the colonel came to report the thunder, Beicheng was already owned by the Han army. Lei Bo got a report, looked back at the north, only to see the fire in the north city, shouting and killing, knowing that the general trend has gone, sighed, gathered all the cronies, abandoned the city and went to the west gate.
Not far from the west gate, suddenly a drum sounded, and the torches around were raised, illuminating the night brightly, Yan Yan led an army to stop in the middle of the road, immediately crossed the gun, and shouted: "The thief will not descend quickly?" ”
It turned out that after Yan Yan and Guan Yu had made a decision, if the Sidao thief knew that the northern city was lost, he would definitely flee, and if he didn't escape, he would go through the west gate. So he made Huang Shu lead the army to attack the city, but he was in the west gate.
Lei Bo saw that the Han army intercepted the road, and if he didn't fight to the death, he couldn't get out, so he ordered the soldiers to move forward and fight Yanyan. Lei Bo's department also knew that it was important to escape, so he rose up to fight the Han army. After Yan Yan stabbed a few thieves to death, he picked up his gun and knocked the horse stock, jumped out of the battle circle to find Lei Bo, Lei Bo lifted his spirits and came to fight Yan Yan. After more than ten days, Lei Bo was invincible and wanted to go, and when Yan Yan's two horses were in the wrong saddle, he used a return horse pistol, and the thunder was thin under the horse.
The Lord will be dead, and the remnant of the army will be surrendered or scattered. The night is not conducive to marching, and Yan Yan does not chase after him. After collecting the troops and taking the head of Lei Bo, he lived in the city and left.
Dongcheng Lei Bo left, the thief army was in chaos, at this time the north city had been lost, and Huang Shu attacked very urgently outside, so the thief army surrendered. Guan Yu entered the city with Yan Yan to appease the people, and then sent an army to search for the remaining enemy troops in the city, and by the way, kill those bandits who took advantage of the chaos to burn and loot.
Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to temporarily settle in Xuantai, and Yan Yan went south to Tangyi. This side made Zhang Fei cross the Huaishui and take the Huailing lightly. After the Huailing guards fled to Jiujiang with the defeated army led by Ji Ling, they knew that Huailing was not guaranteed, so they abandoned their officials one after another. After taking Huailing, Liu Bei did not let Zhang Fei attack Zhongli, who was close at hand, but asked Zhang Fei to turn his head and pose as a posture of wanting to join Guan Yu and attack Guangling together.
Yuan Yin was in Guangling, listened carefully, flew to Yuan Shu, and said: "Now Liu Bei is here again, Guangling has become a lonely place, and it is useless to defend it, it is better to withdraw back to Jiujiang and unite the soldiers." If Liu Bei gets the Jiangdu, he must try to cross the river. Sun Ce is lonely, and he will come to my aid. When the two families work together, they can refuse Liu Bei. ”
Yuan Shu was in Shouchun, watching his generals lose ground one after another, and it was the time to use people when he wanted to have a seizure, and he was depressed and had nowhere to vent, so he had to use the beauties in the palace to extinguish the fire. At this time, Yuan Yin reported, although the Guangling cities on the map had to change their banners again, but they felt that what Yuan Yin said was also very reasonable. Yuan Shu thought deeper, if Liu Bei was greedy for Jiangdong, Sun Ce would definitely not be able to help but fight with Liu Bei. Then you won't be able to take care of yourself. When his two families fought a real fire, they were both defeated, and then they worked hard to destroy the two families in one fell swoop, and recaptured Yang and Xu Erzhou.
Thinking of the pride, Yuan Shu couldn't help laughing, grabbed the two warm and greasy balls in his hands, and galloped vertically and horizontally. After the event, Yuan Shu asked Yuan Yin to return Shouchun, so that those who were inconvenient to carry the baggage documents and other books were set on fire.
Yan Yan was in Tangyi, and when he heard that Jiang had changed, he hurriedly asked the scouts to explore him. By the time Yan Yan knew that Yuan Yin had withdrawn westward, he couldn't catch up. As soon as Yuan Yin left, Yan Yan then possessed Yuguo, Jiangdu, Guangling, and Hailing counties. It also made people occupy the two major ferries of Jiangshui Temple and Tanglin Pavilion, so the entire territory of Guangling was owned by the Han army.
Zhang Fei heard that Yan Yan occupied Jiangdu, and rubbed his fists and said: "Lord, you can collect ships, cross the river from Jiangdu, and attack Jiangdong." Zhang Fei has long been dissatisfied with Sun Ce's seven dissatisfactions. In his opinion, his own lord Xing Wang Shi raised the banner of righteousness to crusade against Yuan Shu, the number one rebel of the Han family. As a result, we are fighting here for life and death, but you are picking up cheap in Jiangdong. There is no such good thing in the world, and all the territory I occupy now has to be spit out for me.
Not only Zhang Fei, Guan Yu is also ready to move. There are six counties in Yangzhou, and four of them are in Jiangdong. If you grab it, what a piece of land it is! How many people can be raised, how much land can be obtained.
Liu Bei smiled: "I'm here to beg for thieves, not to fight for land." Yuan Shu is not extinguished, but he can't go to the river for the time being. "How can I cross the river, I have always flaunted justice, and I came south under the banner of begging for thieves. If Yuan Shu led his division to cross the river before it was destroyed, wouldn't the people of the world understand at a glance, am I here to grab the land? When the time comes, I won't want this face. Stopping the generals, Liu Bei just ordered Yan Yan to set up a village at the ferry to prevent a sneak attack in Jiangdong, but he didn't mention anything about crossing the river.
Sun Cezheng led the crowd to fight with the Jingzhou army in Yuzhang, and when he heard that Liu Bei occupied Jiangdu, his heart couldn't help but beat violently. He is in Yuzhang, his father is in Lujiang, if Liu Bei's army crosses the river, Wu Jun is afraid that he will not be able to stop it. So he hurriedly sent a letter to Zhou Yu and asked him to station in Dantu and monitor the river.
After obtaining Guangling, Liu Bei transferred Chen Deng to be the Taishou of Guangling, so that he could guard the Jiangdu in case of Sun Ce. He also flew to Qingzhou, transferred Lu Jun to the south, and became the minister of the East China Sea, and also made Sun Qianyao and Ke Cao engage, and ordered Lu Jun's son Lu Shang to be a guest Cao Peng. On Chinese New Year's Eve, when Liu Bei feasted on the courtiers, Lu Heng made the maid look at Lu Xun, and the maid reported that she was handsome and elegant. Several maidservants said this in a row, and Lu Heng relieved himself and agreed to the matter. Liu Bei, who got the letter, asked Lu Min to pass Lu Jun's mansion, revealing this intention, Lu Jun was overjoyed, and he responded in one bite. The heart is so bad, and it can also ensure the wealth of the three generations of the Lu family. Now Lu Jun's heart is all tied to Liu Bei. Hearing that Liu Bei transferred him to the south, he settled the matter at hand, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to his family, he hurried all the way south.
Liu Bei asked Lu Jun to go south, also thinking that Lu Jun was a Jiangdong figure, and he was familiar with the scenery and people in this place, which was no better. As for Chen Deng, let him guard Guangling for himself and continue to exert his light and heat in this position.
