Chapter 333: Decent
Cao Cao's attack on Jiaozhou, this is something that Shi Xie, who was out on the expedition, could not have imagined no matter what, Shi Xie did not blame Cao Cao, but he had some resentment towards Zhang Liao from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Liao and Cao Cao have been fighting for almost 800 years, from Yanzhou to Jiaozhou battlefield, they are all over the world, but they didn't kill Cao Cao, General Zhang and Cao Cao are together, right?
Of course, this kind of thing Shixie just thinks about it with a little resentment in his heart, in the final analysis, he still blames himself, he has no ability to spread the force all over Jiaozhou as soon as possible, but the gap in Lipu was caught by Cao Cao, and no one can do anything to fight from Jingzhou.
On this point alone, Shi Xie admired Cao Cao's courage very much.
Jiaozhou, not everyone has the confidence to rashly attack in, if it is a stunned youth, he may enter Jiaozhou regardless of it, but the same miasma will also make him suffer enough to scare him away. Cao Cao was not only not scared away, but also stayed in Jiaozhou, fighting with the Nanhai County Shiwu in the east and Hepu Taishou Shiyi in the south.
Being on the front line of Yizhou, he had just taken advantage of Liu Bei's lack of control over the southern part of Yizhou to instigate the Hao clan of Yizhou County to rebel, and Shi Xie, who was stationed in Dianchi and wearing armor, threw down the book and snorted coldly, "Running to other people's families, this Cao Mengde really knows how to be a guest!" ”
Cneism doesn't have a real effect, and things really have to be done by manpower. At this time, there were police in the rear, and Shi Xie couldn't care about Liu Bei in the north, so he immediately ordered his two sons to lead several generals to stay in Yizhou County, the southernmost part of the Yizhou Thorn History Department and Jiaozhou, and personally lead the troops back to Jiaozhi as a barrier to block Cao's westward attack.
The mission he gave to his son Shiyi and Shihui was to use Yizhou County as the foundation to recruit the powerful clans and local barbarian kings who disobeyed Liu Bei in Yongchang County in the west and Qike County in the east, so as to resist Liu Bei's next attack. If Liu Bei could not be defeated and continued to occupy the land in the north, then the land of the two counties would be consolidated and obtained, so as to wait for the future changes in the situation of the northern Yan clan's southern expedition.
Shi Xie knew very well that the land in the north belonging to the Yizhou Thorn History Department was still between the two whether it could be captured or not, whether it belonged to him or not, and if Yanbei did not agree to him to govern these lands, I am afraid that he could only return the land, so Yizhou was of little significance to him. The reason why he raised troops to attack Liu Bei was because Liu Bei had no prestige in the counties bordering him, on the contrary, the Shijia family had a long reputation in those counties, and many wealthy families in the county sent messages to him to ask how to deal with Liu Bei after he entered Yizhou.
If it weren't for Cao Cao leading his troops south, he would have had multiple benefits in sending troops to attack Liu Bei. However, now that Cao Cao is making waves in Jiaozhou, the Cao family has become a big problem for him, and the top priority must be to go back to resist Cao's attack.
However, this can also achieve the most important purpose of Shixie's attack on Liu Bei, the Cao family, the Liu family, fight anyone the same, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose - showing off force to the Yan family is the real goal.
Shi Xie's biggest worry is not the Cao family or the Liu family, he is worried that after Yanbei dominates the world in the future, he will summon himself to Handan and promise an official position such as Jiuqing, which is what he is most afraid of.
If this kind of thing really happens, let him go to Handan, who can be willing?
But if it happens, is there any room for him not to go?
Shi Xie never thought that princes like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who also controlled the land of Yizhou, could defeat him, but he also did not think that he could defeat Yanbei with such arrogance that he could defeat Yanbei.
He may lose to Liu Bei and Cao Cao by chance, but it is impossible to rely on luck to beat Yanbei.
A few children were wallowing in the mud, and suddenly an eight-foot burly man with a sledgehammer in his hand rushed in, how scary!
Cao Cao and Liu Bei Shixie are children rolling in the mud, but Yanbei is not this eight-foot man, the big man is the imperial court, how can a big man bully a child? The big man won't, but the hammer will.
Yanbei, Yanbei is the big hammer in the hands of the imperial court.
It's just that now the strong man is being dragged around by a sledgehammer and beaten.
Liu Bei, who was only a county away, was even more panicked than Shixie, because the battle in the north had caused his subordinates to lose their troops, and they had lost two Xiongguan and seven cities on the front line for several months, but Liu Bei had no way to reverse the defeat. It's not that the generals in front don't have command talent, but that Ma Chao and Zhao Yun overturned their grain routes from the rear, and even occupied several cities on the baggage line along the way.
Although those cities were not large, they were enough to give the Yan army enough opportunities to attack most of the grain teams along the route, how could an army without a grain route fight?
In Guan Yu's army, food for half a month has become the norm, and they are helpless, except for the earlier attack on Ma Chao's subordinate Qiang Di warriors to loot some grain and grass, it seems that they can only count on the sky to open their eyes to make them get a meager supply of grain and grass in the intermittent.
It's terrible.
No one in the world can win a battle in such a situation.
However, it seems to be a naïve opening of the eyes, close to the autumn moon, a letter from the palace of Zhao crossed the mountains and rivers to arrive at Liu Bei's garrisoned Chengdu, within half a month, the two generals Guan Yu and Ma Chao briefly negotiated peace in the south of Zitong County, with Zitong County, Guanghan County as the boundary, and no longer attacked each other. At the same time, Liu Bei could no longer attack and defend Cao Cao's Shixie, and of course Liu Bei nodded in response to this matter...... What kind of nonsense is Yan Zhongqing talking about, Liu Mou attacked Shixie!
Liu Bei, who was sitting in the Chengdu City Governance Office, just wanted to slap the topographic map of Shuzhong in front of him on the face of the cunning and cheeky Yan Bei, and let him widen his eyes to see who was beating whom!
I want my Liu Xuande to go to the year to establish the foundation of Yizhou, ten counties to get eight counties, and thousands of male soldiers and princes to stand side by side in the world, how long has it been, ah? The three counties of Yinan were gnawed away by Shixie, and Yibei was also captured by Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, and the subject country added half of Guanghan, and now Yanbei bit people first to let him stop attacking Shixie?
Shi Xie led the barbarians who were accustomed to the mountain roads in Jiaozhou to rush into Yizhou at a speed of sixty miles a day, and beat Yizhou County to incite the barbarians of the wealthy clans in the neighboring two counties to raise troops, and actually said that Liu beat him?
Is there such a truth in the world?
Okay now, although I don't know why Yan Zhongqing suddenly sent a message to cease the war, but don't care what conspiracy he has, at least it can be stopped for a while. If he continues to fight, I'm afraid he will have one Chengdu left, and Shu County will not be able to save it!
"Brother, if you really can't do it, you can give King Zhao a watch, and you can't beat him anyway, so let him be King Zhao." Zhang Fei was extremely fierce when he fought, but as soon as the two sides ceased fighting, Zhang Fei really didn't want to continue fighting, so he ran back to Chengdu in a hurry, "Brother, if you really want to find a decent way to join the Yan clan quickly, if not, let's declare war with Zhao Guo again-"
