Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 273: Cao Mengde captures Yanzhou
Continuous attacks on the city reduced the number of Cao's troops to 40,000, and 20,000 of Cao's troops died under Shanyang City alone.
"My lord, Shanyang City is high and deep. If the Jingzhou Army insists on defending it, it may be difficult to break through. Yuan Shu has occupied Yuzhou and cut off the Jingzhou Army's retreat. You might as well inform the people in the city. After the aristocratic families in the city learn about this situation,
I definitely don’t want to live or die with the Jingzhou Army,” Xi Ce said.
Cao Cao nodded. Wenpin, the guard of Shanyang, was a cautious person. Previously, Cao Jun also tried to contact the aristocratic families in the city and wanted to break Shanyang from the inside. Unexpectedly, Wenpin discovered it twice in a row, which also led to the chaos in the city.
The aristocratic family did not dare to make any changes, and they would also be afraid in front of the bloody butcher knife of the Jingzhou Army.
Although Wenpin tried his best to control the news that Yuan Shu had captured Yuzhou, thanks to the efforts of Cao Jun, it was still known throughout the city. The thoughts of the family came to life in front of such news. Yanzhou belonged to Cao Cao before, and the Jingzhou army was an outsider.
They had no choice but to submit to the Jingzhou army. As long as they could help Cao Cao capture Shanyang, not only would they not be guilty, but they would also be Cao Cao's army's benefactor.
Aristocratic families consider their own interests more often, especially in troubled times. What they think about is how to retain their strength and allow the family to continue. As for who is in charge of states and counties, as long as it does not affect their vested interests, they will not
They will oppose. When the Jingzhou Army is strong, they will turn to Jingzhou. When the Jingzhou Army is at a disadvantage, they will also betray. This is also the naked reality of "chiluo".
Three days later, Cao Cao's army ran out of food. The generals gathered outside Cao Cao's tent. Previously, Cao Cao said in front of everyone that Cao Cao's army had half a month's food. Why did the army run out of food three days later?
Facing the aggressive military general, the quartermaster looked helpless.
Cao Cao understood that he must give an explanation to the soldiers of the three armies, otherwise the Yanzhou army would mutiny before the noble families in the city could seize the city gate.
"I also understand the matter of food and fodder in the army. There is only one thing that can be solved at the moment." Cao Cao said.
The quartermaster didn't know why, "My lord, I may say it bluntly, but as long as it's a humble job, it's my duty to do it."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "I will take care of your family. Only your head can extinguish the anger of the soldiers." After saying this, Cao Cao drew his sword and chopped off the quartermaster's head.
The quartermaster didn't understand until his death why Cao Cao suddenly drew his sword and killed people.
Cao Cao picked up the quartermaster's head, walked out of the tent, and shouted: "The quartermaster was greedy for food and grass, which caused the army to run out of food. He was killed by his own officer. At this time, the generals can only have food and grass by seizing Shanyang with their lives."
When the generals heard this, they were angry and determined to capture Shanyang. If they could not capture Shanyang, the army would starve to death.
After the generals brought the news back, the soldiers started talking about it. Under the guidance of the generals, the soldiers turned their hatred towards the Jingzhou Army in the city. It was this group of people who kept them from returning home.
Wenpin was surprised to find that the Cao Army's offensive was more fierce than before. Soldiers of the Yanzhou Army attacked the city wall many times. The current Cao Army can only be described as being brave and not afraid of death. In the eyes of the Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers, the Yanzhou Army has already
crazy.
The city wall was in danger, so Wenpin had to mobilize all the troops in the city to the city to resist Cao's attack. At this moment, private soldiers from aristocratic families in the city took the opportunity to seize the city gate.
When the city gate of Shanyang was opened, the Yanzhou Army swarmed in and killed the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army on sight. Stimulated by hunger and hatred, they exerted a combat power far beyond ordinary.
Wenpin saw that he could not do anything and led his soldiers to withdraw from Shanyang.
The defeat of the Jingzhou Army did not stop there. After Cao Cao retook Shanyang, he immediately led a large army to pursue the Jingzhou Army.
The battle made the Jingzhou Army fear the Yanzhou Army. The scenes in Shanyang City were vivid in their minds. Facing such a group of lunatics, how could they not be afraid.
Wenpin led the Jingzhou army to retreat steadily, while the Yanzhou army advanced with great success.
The wars in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou gradually subsided as Cao Cao retook Yanzhou. The biggest beneficiary of this battle was Yuan Shu.
At this time, Yuan Shu held one county in Jingzhou, most of Yangzhou, the entire territory of Yuzhou, and one county in Xuzhou, making him the strongest among the surrounding princes. Although the Yanzhou army was good at fighting, after successive battles, many soldiers were lost.
With the strength in his hands becoming stronger, and with a powerful general like Hua Xiong under his command, Yuan Shu's mind came to life again. The jade seal in his hand made him unable to bear it.
Although there is no emperor in the world today, no one among the princes dares to violate the shackles of the Han Dynasty that no one without the surname Liu can be the king. It’s not that they don’t want to, but they dare not. Although the princes have their own ideas, they will not risk the disapproval of the world.
Things come up.
Yuan Shu summoned his ministers and generals to discuss matters: "Now that the Liu family has declined, the Han emperor has died and the army is in chaos, and the country is in a state of chaos. The four generations of the Yuan family are all important ministers in the court, and the people have surrendered. I want to uphold the will of God, comply with the people's will, and ascend the throne.
I don’t know what your Majesty’s wishes are when you proclaim yourself emperor?”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and the chief register Yan Xiang stepped forward and said: "In the past, the Zhou people, from their ancestor Houji to King Wen, accumulated great virtues and merits, and there were only two out of three people in the world, but they were still cautiously serving as officials of the Yin and Shang Dynasties; Ming Gong, you
Although the high-ranking officials in the past have been well paid, they are not as good as those of the Ji family. Although the Han Dynasty is declining and the emperor is unknown, it is our duty to support the Han Dynasty."
Yuan Shu had no choice but to give up after hearing this, but he was extremely angry in his heart.
It's okay for the generals in the army to say that they support Yuan Shu, but the civil servants are not so easy to fool. The literati cherish themselves more. It would be okay if Yuan Shu succeeds in proclaiming himself emperor. If he fails, their status will change from that of Han ministers to ministers of the Han Dynasty.
Became a traitor and a traitor, and endured eternal infamy.
Yuan Shu always believed that the surname Yuan came from Chen, who was after Shun. He used earth to carry fire and was the second in luck. It was widely spread in the counties and counties around Yangzhou that "the person who succeeded the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye."
On the battlefield in Youzhou, the Bingzhou Army gained the greatest benefit, and Zhang Yan also benefited a lot from Yuan Shao. Although the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans had a large number of people and were not afraid of Jizhou sending troops, compared with Yuan Shao, the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans
The army's background is too poor. For example, Yuan Shao's subordinates first ascended to the dead and defeated the White Horse Yi Cong. They were already famous throughout the world. After receiving the envoy sent by Gongsun Zan to ask for help, Zhang Yan was not impulsive. Yuan Shao would not stumble on the same thing.
Twice, the most important thing is that he is not optimistic about Gongsun Zan.
Facing such an opponent, Zhang Yan had to think carefully. At this time, he thought of Mrs. Guo, who had been a guest in the Montenegrin Army.
The strength of Bingzhou gave Zhang Yan the idea of going to Bingzhou. Guo Tai was a Yellow Turban Army, and Bingzhou could accept it. Bingzhou would definitely not be hostile to the Black Mountain Army, who was also a Yellow Turban. The most important thing was that Zhang Yan and Bingzhou had a common enemy.
