The first month of the third year of the establishment of the Han Kingdom (198 AD). Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yangzhou, Shouchun.

Yuan Shu's army and Sun Ce's army fought fiercely on both sides of the Huaishui River. Xia Cai and Dangtu lost successively, and Yuan Shu commanded the army to approach Shouchun.

Sun Ce always thought that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would take advantage of this opportunity to attack Yuan Shu on three sides, but then the news came to him and gave him a big mockery. Cao Cao or Liu Bei didn't take him seriously at all, they had already withdrawn their troops and gone home, and they didn't even say hello.

Sun Ce is certainly not an idiot. He finished the army, and it was best to have Cao Cao and Liu Bei well, so he didn't do it. Sun Ce decisively ordered the whole line to retreat to the front line of Hefei and Liyang, and withdraw to Jiangdong at any time.

In the middle of the first month, Yuan Shu walked into Shouchun. Sun Ce was not bad, leaving Yuan Shu and his family behind, but he moved all the money and food, and even the furniture in the house was emptied.

Faced with the empty house and the frightened relatives who were crying and crying excessively, Yuan Shu could no longer control the anger in his heart, and was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and fainted to the ground.

Although Yuan Shu lay down, Li Ye, Yang Hong, Ji Ling and others could not be idle.

Li Ye hurriedly went to Luoyang and asked Yuan Shao for help. At this time, even if you whisper and suffer all the white eyes, you have to admit it, and you can't go hungry for the winter.

Yang Hong hurriedly went to Runan to ask Xu Xuan for help.

Ji Ling and Qiao Rui each led a large army, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way to Liyang, and all the way to Hefei.

Sun Ce is in Liyang. Hearing that Qiao Rui's army had arrived, he didn't say a word, left and led the army to retreat across the Yangtze River and return to Niuzhu on the south bank.

Not only that, but when Sun Ce left, he also took all of Yuan Shu's warships and sailors with him. Without warships, even if Yuan Shu wanted to attack Jiangdong, he would have to wait until he had enough warships, but with Yuan Shu's current financial resources, there was no money left to build warships.

Zhou Yu in Hefei. He didn't fight Ji Ling either, and led his army to retreat to Lujiang. Ji Ling led the army in hot pursuit, but Zhou Yu ignored it completely and led the army to retreat all the way, and finally retreated across the river.

Ji Ling's army lacked enough food and grass to carry its baggage, and the warships and soldiers of the navy were all taken away by Sun Ce, so they had no choice but to stop advancing.

In the second half of the first month, Yuan Yao, Xun Zheng, and Liu Ye, who had been hiding on the Yangtze River for more than two months, returned to Shouchun. They brought Li Yuan's letter, which made Yuan Shu breathe a sigh of relief.

After the Jizhou War, Qingzhou fell into the hands of an unknown Zang Ba, which was really a big accident. Although Li Yuan calculated that Yuan Shu would eventually withdraw his troops from Yangzhou, he did not expect Yuan Shu to fall into such a miserable situation. Now that he has Li Yuan's strategy of attacking from north to south, Yuan Shu knows that he is worry-free for the time being. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei called, Zang Ba in the direction of Qingzhou would contain him, which would give him plenty of time to recover.

Thinking that Zang Ba got the entire Qingzhou without much effort, Yuan Shu's heart was extremely unbalanced. Why am I so unlucky? I was full of ambition to fight the Central Plains, but in the end I ended up miserable, leaving only three counties. Why did God treat me so thinly? What kind of bullshit is this?

………………

When Yuan Shu was complaining about the heavens, his brother Yuan Shao, who was different from Lao Tzu, had a bad time.

The news from Guanzhong made Yuan Shao restless. After killing Ma Teng and Ma Chao's whole family, not only did it not achieve the expected effect, but it aroused the anger of the people of Western Xinjiang and attracted tens of thousands of Western Xinjiang troops. Guanzhong is in jeopardy.

Yuan Shao regretted it at this time. I knew that things were going in a worse direction, and it was better to spend a few dollars to buy Han Sui and kill Ma Chao. After all, at some point a few years ago, he had a good relationship with Han Sui and provided him with a lot of money and food.

At this time, Yuan Shu had driven away Sun Ce and recaptured Jiujiang County, although the loss of money was great, but Yuan Shu now still controls Peiguo, Xiapi, Guangling in Xuzhou and Jiujiang and Lujiang in Yangzhou, and there are tens of thousands of troops in hand, as long as he is given money and food support to help him get through the current sadness, Yuan Shu will immediately be alive and vigorous, and continue to fight with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce.

Hanoi's Northern Frontier Army showed no signs of continuing its attack. Reinforcements from Yuan Zhong and Xia Zhao had already arrived in Pinggao to join Guo Tu and Han Qiong to prepare for a counteroffensive in March.

Yuan Shao arranged the affairs of the Central Plains, and then requisitioned the Yuzhou army to rush to Guanzhong, and he rushed to Chang'an with Feng Ji and other strategists day and night to meet the Western Xinjiang army.

………………

Guanzhong has not yet started fighting, but the distant Qingzhou has started the war first.

Because Sun Ce had Sun Ce in the south to contain Yuan Shu, Cao Cao thought that this was a good time for him to take Qingzhou first.

During the previous Chinese New Year, Cao Cao took advantage of the death of Gongsun Chan and the chaos in the places he originally controlled, and sent troops to occupy the four counties of Dongping and Taishan in the east of Yanzhou, which were previously controlled by Gongsun Chan, and fully occupied Yanzhou. Then he led the army to invade the country of Jinan, first occupied the westernmost city of Jinan, and forced the east Pingling of the state of Jinan.

Zang Ba was greatly surprised to learn the news, and while sending troops to block Cao Cao's invasion, he asked for help from Li Yi, the general of Hebei.

Li Yi had just finished his cruise on the prairie and returned to Jicheng.

Regarding Zang Ba's request for help, the hundred officials of the Jicheng court had different opinions, and finally Li Yili overrode the public opinion and decided to send troops to support Zang Ba.

However, at this time, the question arises again, how many troops to send? Who leads the way? Sending fewer troops makes little sense for the overall situation; There are too many troops, and now Hebei can't afford it. After all, now in Guanzhong and on the battlefield in Hanoi, they are in a state of confrontation with Yuan Shao, and war may break out at any time. At the same time, it was necessary to support Han Sui's army, and the supply of food and grass was a little tight. As for who will lead the army, it is equally difficult to decide. Each general has his own reasons for leading the army to the battle, and no one is convinced.

In the end, Li Yi waved his hand, you all don't fight, this time I will go out in person.

Li Yi has not been on the front-line battlefield for several years, and several major battles have been commanded remotely in the rear, and he can't hold back. This operation to support Qingzhou was not large-scale, and he wanted to personally lead his army south to participate in the war. As for the dispatched army, Li Yi decided to take his personal guard army with 6,000 horses.

Although there are not many troops dispatched, the Iron Cavalry of the Pro-Guard Army is the most elite unit, and with the combat power of this Iron Cavalry, joining the battlefield can play a great role. It is just to solve the dilemma of Hebei today.

At the same time, Li Yi also had the idea of training the iron cavalry of the pro-guard army. Because he was almost not on the front-line battlefield in the past few years, the pro-guard army with the duty of protecting him also did not experience bloody battles for several years, which is not good news for an elite army.

Li Yi made a decision, and naturally no one dared to object. So, when the footsteps of the spring of the third year of Jian'an came, Li Yi led six thousand guards to the south, and the accompanying generals were the three generals of the pro-guard army, Dian Wei, Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong. In addition, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang also acted with the army.

………………

"I said Lao Wu, are you sure you are not taking the wrong way?" Yuwen Chengdu sat majestically on a fat and strong horse, looking left and right with great interest, while shouting loudly at the top of his voice.

"General Yuwen, be quiet, don't startle people." Wu Zida snorted unhappily, "It's not the first time I've taken this path, how could I go wrong?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu Boss waved his hand impatiently, compared it to the surroundings, and said with a smile: "Noisy? If you look around you, do you look like someone? Well, there are no living people, but there are quite a few dead people. But the ability to frighten the dead, a certain has not yet learned! ”

"It's weird, this is the official road you took last time?" Wu Zi himself was quite puzzled, marching and fighting led the wrong way, that was a great crime, and he didn't dare to joke about it.

He took the horse to the side of the road, turned over and dismounted, stomped his feet hard, and then looked at it again, and felt that he had a bottom in his heart, so he pointed to the roadbed and said loudly: "It's Sanhetu, it's the official road!" After crossing the river, there is only one official road leading to Rinzai, which is also drawn on the map! ”

"That's weird." The characteristics of the official road, even if Wu Zi didn't mention it, Yuwen Chengdu would not be unrecognizable, he scratched his head, and he was even more confused.

The official road is convenient, and normally speaking, there should always be some villages around. Wu Zi also walked on this road once last autumn, for an old soldier like him, how could he not have any impression of the road he had walked?

Yuwen Chengdu turned his gaze to Li Yi, since he crossed the river and went south, Li Yi has been in a state of contemplation, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

"The road should be right, it'......s just that things are wrong," Li Yi sighed.

For the general not to know the geography, although Wu Zi, an old horse who knows the way, to lead the way, but the map of Hebei and Qingdao, he has repeatedly seen it, as soon as he closes his eyes, relevant information will appear in his mind.

From the analysis of the nearby mountains and rivers markings, the official road under your feet is indeed the one that leads directly to Linji. It's just that the villages that were once marked on the map are now inaccessible. It's not so much about things and people, it's better to say the vicissitudes of life.

As if to confirm his thoughts, a sharp north wind swept through the fresh green weeds, bending the grass stems neatly, revealing several charred walls and decaying doors and windows, reminding passers-by that this place was once prosperous.

The vigorous vitality and the desolation of the ruined wall form a stark contrast, which makes people feel a lot of emotion. And the dry bones looming in the grass seem to remind Li Yi of the catastrophe that has happened here.

The situation was unclear, of course Li Yi didn't dare to move forward rashly, so he instructed Dian Wei: "Shunzhi, go find a few guides and ask what happened here." ”

Recently, Cao Cao was attacking Qingzhou, and when Wu Zi went north by sea, although Cao Cao had only captured Licheng, the westernmost part of Jinan, it had been more than ten days, and God knew where Cao Cao had hit.

After thinking about it, Li Yi added: "Be polite when you find people, don't scare them." (To be continued.) )
