"Lord, Yuzhou Mu was defeated, this is a good opportunity for us to recapture Yuzhou!"

Yang Hong, the long historian, almost used his hands and feet at the same time, came to Yuan Shu's bedroom and told Yuan Shu about the defeat of the Tang Dynasty.

Since Yuan Shu was betrayed by his subordinates, there were only a few counties left in Yingchuan County. Yuan Shu was defeated by Chu Zimou, and was said to have betrayed Tang, so he was in a hurry and was bedridden.

He heard that the traitor said that Tang was also defeated by Chu Zimou, and sat up in shock in his dying illness, talking and laughing: "That traitor seized my territory, and immediately called on all troops and horses in Yuzhou, with Zhang Xun and Ji Ling as generals, to crusade against the traitor and say Tang!" ”

Yuan Shu raised 30,000 soldiers and horses, called on all the old departments to resist Tang, and personally led his troops to attack Xu County.

However, Yuzhou did not respond to Yuan Shu, and the Taishou in various parts of Yuzhou have been replaced by Tang's cronies. They would rather take refuge in Xuzhou Chu Zimou than respond to Yuan Shu.

"Yuan Highway is self-defeating."

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh when he learned that Yuan Shu still wanted to turn the tables.

The princes who can survive until now are not easy to provoke.

He has been beaten by the inhuman princes Chu Zimou to the point of surrender.

Pang Juan's troops came to Puyang City and fought with Cao Cao many times. Pang Juan faced many generals and strategists led by Cao Cao, and there were many defeats and few victories, but with Guo Jia's plan, Pang Juan would not be defeated and always dragged Cao Cao.

Chu Tian defeated Cao Cao's biggest reinforcement, and now Cao Cao is no longer facing Chu Tian's partial division, but the main army.

Cao Cao gathered all the civil servants and military generals in the city. Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Le Jin, Lu Qian, Xue Yi, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and other military generals were recruited by Cao Cao. Also arriving were the military general Li Ling (Li Guang's eldest grandson) recruited by Cao Cao with the recruitment order of the Battle of Mobei, as well as other military generals and Inhuman disciples.

Li Dian, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Man Zhong were sent by Cao Cao to block the Le Yi army. The offensive of Le Yi's army was very fierce, although Le Yi was the only one, but at the beginning, Le Yi was able to hold back the generals of Langya State, and his ability was extremely strong.

"Now it is the autumn of life and death, Yuzhou Mu was defeated by Xuzhou Mu, Qingzhou Thorn Shi attacked Mount Tai in vain, if Yuan Benchu does not go south, I am afraid that we will have to rely on Xuzhou Mu."

Cao Cao looked around at the Wenchen generals present, and he already realized that he could not resist the Xuzhou army. If Yuan Shao didn't come to the rescue, he would be unable to support it alone.

Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other strategists remained silent. Different from the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's territory is not small, and the comparison of strength will not be much worse than Yuan Shao, but now Cao Cao only has two counties, how can he resist Chu Zimou, who has two states?

Zhang Liao also fell silent. He received the grace of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and only then did he survive the battle of Mobei.

Unwillingly were Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan and other clan generals, who followed Cao Cao for several years, but in exchange for surrender.

When Cao Cao's power was at its strongest, he didn't even have half of Yanzhou.

The young and vigorous Cao Chun was unwilling: "If we make one last fight, we may not lose!" Let me command the tiger and leopard cavalry to storm the enemy and turn the tide! ”

Xun You said: "If the generals fight, maybe the military heart can be used." If defeated, you can retreat to Chenliu and cede Dongjun to Chu Zimou. ”

Cao Cao came back from the Battle of Mobei and hesitated for a long time, and when he saw that the mastermind Xun You proposed to give up Dongjun, he couldn't help but wonder: "Dongjun is my foundation, and it is a wonderful plan to abandon the original and chase the end?" ”

"Dongjun borders Hebei, and if Chu Zimou occupies Dongjun, he will directly threaten Yuan Benchu, so that Yuan Benchu will have to join the war. Chen Liu approached Yingchuan, and the lord could borrow Yingchuan County from Yuzhou Mu, and the Tang Dynasty arrived in Xia, plus Yuan Benchu was killed, and the outcome was unknown. ”

Xun You, as the mastermind, can still find a chance for Cao Cao to turn the tables even under such a critical premise.

"Forcibly dragged Yuan Benchu down...... That's a good idea. ”

Because of Xun You's words, Cao Cao ignited the fighting spirit to fight again.

"Report! Yuan Benchu sent an envoy Xu Yu to come! ”

Just as Cao Cao's forces were in a difficult situation, Yuan Shao's forces, which were focused on going north rather than south, finally sent envoys.

"Why should Ah Pu be in a hurry, if Ah Pu moves to Yecheng and takes refuge in Yuan Benchu, great things can be done. At the beginning, Changshan State had been captured, and it was marching into Zhongshan Country, and Jizhou was within reach. ”

Before seeing him, he heard his voice, and Xu You didn't come in, so he called Cao Cao by his nickname.

Cao Cao frowned, he was the assassin of Yanzhou, and Xu Yu was too much to give him face.

……

"The big thing is not good, the matter of Dongjun may be variable."

Xue Yue, who was in charge of the intelligence of the aliens, personally came to Xia Cheng to meet Chu Tian and inform Yanzhou Dongjun of the matter.

Xueyue installed an alien disciple in Cao Cao's forces, and learned that Cao Cao wanted to give up Dongjun, go to join Tang, guard Chen, and immediately report to Chutian.

Chutian tried to recruit Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was not so easily recruited. The current Cao Cao was beaten into Liu Bei by Chutian and wandered around.

"Xun You deserves to be a top strategist, he pulled Yuan Shao into the water, and we have one more enemy to deal with."

When Chu Tian heard that this was Xun You's suggestion to Cao Cao, he was shocked.

If it weren't for Xun You, Cao Cao would probably have surrendered.

Xun You may not intend to resist, but Xun You, as a strategist, strives to find a living space for Cao Cao's forces.

Cao Cao had a mastermind, which was even more difficult to deal with.

"If Cao Cao is unwilling to surrender, he can only beat him until he surrenders."

Chu Tian was just stunned, but he thought that Cao Cao couldn't escape far, and Dongjun and Chen Liu were next to each other. Even if Cao Cao retreated to Chenliu, it would only take some more twists and turns.

Only by letting Cao Cao experience despair will Cao Cao completely surrender.

Chu Tian has always used to deal with Cao Cao. Once Chu Tian uses the main force, Cao Cao will know what is despair and what terror is.

"Is Tang's intelligence already investigated?"

"Yes. It is said that Tang is very hidden, but after the end of the battle of Xiaopei, his subordinates wavered, so he can buy off Tang's subordinates and obtain information. In the battle of Xiaopei, the commander of the Chinese army was Guo Ziyi, a famous marshal of the Tang Dynasty, and Feng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. ”

Yuzuki uses the panicked players as a breakthrough to successfully obtain information about Tang.

Guo Ziyi and Feng Yi...... No wonder I was able to break through their phalanx with two heavy cavalry. ”

Chu Tian knew about these two people, and he was relieved.

Guo Ziyi led the Shuofang Army to participate in the suppression of the Anshi Rebellion, and was the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses at that time, which may be a king-level or royal-level commander.

Feng Yi is one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai under the command of Emperor Guangwu, he can attack and defend well, and at the same time he is humble and does not compete with the generals. He is at least a king-level commander, and the kings of all dynasties have selected famous generals, and Feng Yi has been selected.

The two are famous generals of the Han and Tang Dynasties, second only to Wei Qing, Le Yi and others. With such a commander, the battle of Xiaopei was a little difficult.

For the generals of the Tang forces, Chu Tian almost figured them all out.

At least the king-level commanders Guo Ziyi, Feng Yi, and Li Daozong, the emperor-level generals Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin (according to historical facts), Xu Chu, and the king-level military general Chen Dao. As for Liu Bi, Gong Du, He Yi and other generals of the Runan Yellow Turban Army, Chu Tian directly ignored them. In front of a group of Han and Tang Dynasty generals, Liu Bi, Gong Du, He Yi and other generals of the Yellow Turban Army led a squad of soldiers and horses to conduct guerrilla attacks at most.

"It is said that Tang's operation in Runan is impenetrable, and the people's hearts in each county are above 90, if you attack Runan, the local people will definitely defend the cities, I am afraid that the army will be lost, and it will be difficult to make progress."

Xue Yue reminded Chu Tian.

It is said that the Runan County of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the Langya Kingdom of Chutian, has been painstakingly managed and has a large number of fortifications, which can withstand it for a year or two.

"In addition, it is said that Tang has the support of the Yingchuan and Runan families, and has the support of Wei Zheng, Chen Qun, Lü Fan and other military generals."

Xue Yue offered information that Chu Tian was more interested in.

"It is said that Tang can replace Yuan Shu, and it is not unrelated to the support of Yuzhou families such as Yingchuan and Runan."

Chu Tian probably understood why Tang's rise was so fast.

With the support of the family, it is said that the rise of the Tang Dynasty is a matter of course.

For their own interests, the families of Yuzhou supported the local princes of Yuzhou to say that Tang replaced Yuan Shu and represented the interests of their Yuzhou families. It is said that Tang's strength and forbearance are in line with the requirements of the Yuzhou family for the Ming Lord.

"You did a good job, saying that Tang Hu is in Yuzhou, and he is indeed a strong enemy. It's a pity that his forbearance also has drawbacks. After all, his development is slower than mine. If he is given another two or three years, maybe the general trend has been achieved, but he only has one Yuzhou now. ”

Chu Tian simply compared his strength. After he defeated Cao Cao, it was equivalent to having two complete states, as well as two counties in Qingzhou, one county in Yangzhou, and one county in Yuzhou. It is said that Tang's Yuzhou is no longer complete because of the loss of Peiguo. So it's not very difficult to deal with.

"How's Miss Xia's condition?"

The relationship between the snow moon and the cool summer is also good.

"Everything is fine. You can stay with her. ”

In order to soothe the cool mood in summer, Chu Tian let her have contact with other people as much as possible to reduce the uneasiness of the cool in summer.

……

Yingchuan County, Yuan Shu commanded the last 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Xu County, and he wanted to regain everything he had lost.

Yuan Shu called on various families and lords in Yuzhou to raise troops, but until now, no one dared to come to support Yuan Shu.

It is said that although Tang was also defeated in Xiaopei, it was undoubtedly more in line with the interests of everyone in Yuzhou than Yuan Shu.

"Those fools, I'd rather support the traitor than support me, I, Yuan Highway, am the fourth and third dukes!"

Yuan Shu was isolated and furious.

How could he have been so humiliated?

"Lord, say that Tang's army is coming!"

Yuan Shu hurriedly took Zhang Xun and other generals to battle.

On the horizon, it was said that the Yuzhou army commanded by Tang arrived, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and the commanders Guo Ziyi, Li Daozong, and Feng Yi urged the army to advance, and Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Chen Dao, Xu Chu and other fierce generals glared angrily ahead.

They were defeated in the Battle of Xiaopei, and only 60,000 or 70,000 of the 160,000-strong army remained. It is said that Tang returned to Runan, and Wei Zheng and Chen Qun supplemented his troops and horses, so that Tang's army increased to 80,000 and came to attack Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu wanted to take advantage of the new defeat of the Tang Dynasty to recapture Yuzhou, but he far overestimated the appeal of his fourth and third dukes, and also underestimated the terrible combat effectiveness of the Tang army.

Although Tang was ruthlessly pitted by Chu Zimou, the fierce generals under his command were not something that Yuan Shu could deal with.

"I want Yuan Shu to die!"

said that Tang instructed Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Chu, and Chen Zhi to go down.

"Yes!"

The four fierce generals took the lead and led the cavalry to directly attack the Yuan Shu legion!

"Capture the traitor alive and say that the Tang will have a bounty of a thousand taels!"

Yuan Shu was extremely resentful of Tang, so he ordered Ji Ling to fight!

Ji Ling joined forces with both hands, wielded the three-pointed two-edged knife, and engaged Qin Qiong, the three-pointed and two-edged knife slashed at the tiger head Zhan golden spear, and the sharp blade shook!

Qin Qiong struggled, the blade was bent, and Ji Ling's hands holding the knife trembled, and it was extremely difficult. The two sides are not fierce generals of the same level!

Xu Chu abandoned the heavy iron armor, his bare body, his strong muscles were like bronze, and he rushed to kill in the midst of ten thousand armies, and no one could stop him! Xu Chu, who had no armor, deterred the enemy army and was defeated one after another!

"Death to grandpa!"

Cheng Yanjin swung the giant axe and went on a rampage all the way, splitting the cavalry in half along the way!

The Yuzhou army suffered a big loss in Xiaopei, encountered the weak Yuan Shu, vented the anger of defeat on Yuan Shu, and swung forward! They can't defeat Chu Zimou's Xuzhou army, but they can sweep Yuan Shu!

Yuan Shu is just a stepping stone among the princes of the Central Plains!

The morale of Yuan Shu's army was not high, and it was attacked by cavalry, and the 30,000-strong army was defeated in less than an hour.

"Drive!"

Yuan Shu drove a mule cart pulled by eight mules, galloped like a fly, and escaped again. Since the Battle of Pengcheng, Yuan Shu has mastered the superb technique of driving a donkey cart.

"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"

Seeing that Yuan Shu was defeated again, Changshi Yang Hong knew that he could no longer serve Yuan Shu, so he led Yuan Shu's generals to surrender to Tang.

Zhang Xun, Ji Ling, Yan Xiang and others all surrendered to the command of Tang.

It is said that Tang indifferently glanced at this group of Yuan Shu's generals, there were not many people available, most of them were third- and fourth-rate generals, even second-rate generals were only a handful.

"Cheng Yanjin, you lead a team of cavalry to chase and kill Yuan Shu."

said that Tang moved the killing intent, and sent Cheng to bite the gold and kill Yuan Shu.

"Yes!"

Cheng Yanjin carried an axe and led five hundred light cavalry to chase and kill Yuan Shu day and night. The war horse left horseshoe prints on the soil and followed Yuan Shu.

"In addition, kill the lords of Liang and Chen, and replace them with our Taishou, and I will firmly control the entire Yuzhou. A scattered Yuzhou cannot be Chu Zimou's opponent. ”

It is said that after the defeat of the army, Tang's control over various places not only did not weaken, but strengthened.

Yuan Shu was defeated again, fled in the wilderness, and wanted to go north to join Yuan Shao. On the way, Yuan Shu was in a hurry, lay sick in bed, and was caught up by Cheng Yanjin and killed him.

A generation of mediocre heroes died in battle!

said that Tang killed Yuan Shu, purged the Yuan family's influence in Yingchuan and Runan, and regrouped.

After Yuan Shu's death, the Eastern Han Dynasty was in an uproar.

During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, all the princes of the late Han Dynasty came out, but few people could survive until now. Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Dong Zhuo, and Kong Ling were assassinated, Yuan Shu and Liu Yu were defeated and killed, Tao Qian died of illness, and only Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian and other princes were still holding on.

said that Tang killed Yuan Shu, but he had no strength to continue attacking Xuzhou, so he had to recuperate.

The failure of the Battle of Xiaopei had a huge impact on the morale of the Yuzhou army, and it was unable to fight again except to deal with Yuan Shu.

Whether it is Xuzhou or Yuzhou, they are trying their best to accumulate strength.
