Chapter 779: The Three Great Princes Fight Yuan Shu Together

Luo Gan led a large army to attack Shouchun, Shouchun was in chaos, and hurriedly sent someone to inform Yuan Shu and let Yuan Shu return to the rescue.

In addition, Sun Ce, who occupied the south of the Yangtze River, also sent troops to attack Yuan Shu's territory, plus Cao Cao and Yuan Shu confronted each other in Runan, and now the princes of the three roads jointly sent troops to attack Yuan Shu.

When Yuan Shu heard this, he hurriedly collected his troops and returned to Shouchun to avoid the old nest being wiped out.

Cao Cao immediately waved his troops to chase after him, and also entered the territory of Shouchun.

"Report ...... Lord, Yuan Shu led the troops to kill, less than ten miles away from Shouchun. "The spies are coming.

"Report ...... Sun Ce sent troops to attack Liyang, Shuxian and other places. "Spy No. 2 is coming.

"Report ...... Behind the Yuan Shu army, Cao Cao's army, please decide the lord. "Spy No. 3 is coming.

Luo Gan frowned, looked at the tall Shouchun city wall, and hesitated, he couldn't capture Shouchun City at the moment, and this Yuan Shu led the troops back too early.

Is it necessary to set up an ambush under the city and fight Yuan Shu, but will Cao Cao stab him in the back?

Although they are all crusading against Cao Cao, the relationship between Luo Gan and Cao Cao is not much better, of course, in the troubled times, who can be better with whom among the major princes.

All thinking about annexing their opponents!

Wu Yong persuaded: "Lord, you can retreat twenty miles first, and watch the village, Cao Cao is here, and I am sending someone to discuss it, and then see how to deal with it." ”

"Okay, collect the troops, retreat twenty miles, and wait for the situation to change." Luo Gan was worried that Cao Cao would be cheapened, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Collect the troops!

As soon as Luo Gan's army retreated, Yuan Shu's army also arrived and entered the city, and Cao Cao's army soon arrived.

At this time, Yuan Shu led the army in the city, Cao Cao set up camp fifteen miles northwest of Shouchun City, and Luo Gan set up camp twenty miles northeast of Shouchun City.

In addition, Sun Ce's troops were divided into two routes, all the way to attack Lujiang County, all the way to Jiujiang County, at this time Sun Ce personally led the troops, Zhou Yu assisted, Lu Su was strategic, and the speed of the army was extremely fast.

Sun Ce conquered the city along the way, and soon captured Liyang, Fuling and other places, and then stormed Hefei.

Shouchun City was unfurled, the war horses were galloping, and the army was neat and tidy, and Shouchun was surrounded.

Cao Cao naturally knew that Luo Gan was leading the troops, and immediately sent someone to invite Luo Gan to the camp for a banquet to jointly plan and discuss the attack on Shouchun.

"My lord, don't go to Cao Ying. We have been enemies of Cao Cao many times, fought many times, and occupied half of Yanzhou, and this Cao Cao must hate us deeply. Beware, this is the Hongmen Feast. Wu Yong was worried that Cao Cao was cheating, so he took the opportunity of the banquet to assassinate Luo Gan, and hurriedly objected.

Wu Yong's words are also advantageous, the Hongmen banquet is not in vain, Liu Bang finally escaped for various reasons, but this trick in history is also tried and tested. For example, Yang Feng was originally booby-trapped by Liu Bei, and directly set up a banquet to entertain him, and smashed the cup as a number, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed out and slaughtered Yang Feng.

"What does Bonghyo think I should do?" Luo Gan turned his head to look at Guo Jia, wanting to hear his opinion.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "If the lord is worried about Cao Cao's Hongmen banquet, then why don't you make an appointment in the two military camps, and neither side should bring soldiers and generals, but only bring one or two retinues to discuss?" ”

"If I don't go, I'll let Cao Cao look down on me. But you can't help but prevent Cao Cao's assassination, so be it. Send someone to inform the two armies to discuss before the formation, and each of them will lead the troops to face each other, and I will discuss with Cao Cao. Luo Gan thought about it, he couldn't show weakness, so let's take a look.

If you really want to say that you don't bring troops, it is estimated that both of them can't trust each other, so they will lead troops, but they can't be too much, and they will deter each other.

Cao Cao also agreed, and in the end, both sides brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to discuss in the middle of the two army camps, and the army remained three miles away.

Luo Gan took Shi Wengong and Bian Shen, two fierce generals, to go, and Cao Cao fixed Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

"Cao Che has been riding for a long time, but he is getting richer and richer." Luo Gan arched his hand to Cao Cao, but he called Cao Cao to ride the car.

Cao Cao, the general of the chariot and cavalry, was patted behind Luo Gan, the hussar general, and Luo Gan had the intention of pressing Cao Cao's head in it.

Cao Cao laughed, so much that he didn't care, he was a pragmatic person, the Son of Heaven was in his hands, and what was there to say about the official position.

"Luo Hussar's soldiers and horses are getting stronger and stronger, and in the early days, he was just a Sima of another department, leading two or three thousand people, and now he is a prince, and he is a hussar general. If you are restless today, it is precisely because you need a great talent like General Luo to come out to help the Han family and eliminate this traitor Yuan Shu. Please also ask the general to send troops as soon as possible to attack Shouchun. Cao Cao first sighed, then complimented Luo Gan a few words, and then wanted to encourage Luo Gan to lead the troops to attack the city. 、

Luo Gan also planned to fool Cao Cao to attack the city and take advantage of it in the back, so he also smiled and said to Cao Cao: "General Cao, when you were the captain of the cavalry, you and I suppressed the Yellow Turban together. It can be regarded as fate, now I am a hussar general, you are a chariot general, and you are all important ministers of the imperial court. I am in charge of local government affairs, and you are in charge of the affairs of the court. It is necessary to work together to deal with the traitor Yuan Shu. It's just that I, the state and county soldiers, are as strong as the regular soldiers and horses of the general's court. I'm just here to cheer for the general. The heavy task of attacking Shouchun is still carried out by the general. Otherwise, how to reflect the strength of the imperial court soldiers and horses, how to reflect the majesty of the imperial court? ”

Everyone wants the other party to sit on each other and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but no one wants to do it by themselves.

In the verbal debate between Luo Gan and Cao Cao, some complimented each other, some threatened each other, lured each other, and fooled each other, no matter what the way was to greet each other, wanting the other party to deal with Yuan Shu.

The lords were arguing with each other, and the bodyguards were also high-spirited, staring at each other's every move with wide eyes, and the anger between the four eyes was very strong.

Shi Wengong stared at Dian Wei, Xu Chu looked at Bian Shen, the four super generals are all eight or nine feet tall, with big shoulders and round waists, very powerful and majestic.

Arguing with each other, Luo Gan finally suggested: "General Cao, if you and I can't work together to deal with Yuan Shu, it is very likely that Yuan Shu will defeat us in the end." I don't think it's better to be like this, you are in charge of the soldiers and horses of the court, and you can't help but set an example, and you and I don't have to argue. Let's do it together. You and I went to the north gate of Shouchun to call out the formation, led Yuan Shu's army to attack, and our two soldiers and horses worked together to kill the rebels, what do you think? ”

Cao Cao also knew that only by fighting together could Yuan Shu be eliminated, if the two armies were intrigued, it was likely to give Yuan Shu a chance, and it was impossible to really only let the other party fight.

"Okay, it's all for the people of the world, it's all for the court, you and I work together, Yuan Shu won't be able to support it for long." Cao Cao said.

Then the two made a bloody alliance, agreeing on the order of the two sides' troops, the deployment of troops, and how to attack the city.

After the discussion, they returned to the camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and on the third day, the siege equipment was ready, and the army was waiting for the day.
