Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 381: The action of the princes begins

Immediately, Lu Bu thought that when he set out for the expedition, there were only about 3,000 soldiers and horses left out of the 5,000 troops, and the Wolf Cavalry had suffered huge losses, and his expression darkened again.

"My Lord, it is inevitable for soldiers to die in battle. It is also their choice for the Wolf Cavalry soldiers to follow the Lord on the battlefield. I sincerely ask the Lord to put safety first in the future and not to do such a dangerous thing." Guo Jia cupped his hands and said.

Dian Wei on the side also believed that this time was too dangerous. If it weren't for the elite wolf cavalry, surrounded by thousands of enemy troops, it would have been a disaster. "I hope my lord can put safety first."

Seeing the solemn expressions of Guo Jia and Dian Wei, Lu Bu smiled and said, "Fengxiao and Awei are gentle. I will act with caution in the future."

Sun Ce returned to the army and immediately sent his horses back to Jiangdong. At this time, Zhou Yu had prepared 30,000 troops and horses in Jiangdong in order to wait for Yuan Shu's defeat.

After receiving the news that Yuan Shu was defeated in Anfeng and the army was completely lost, Zhou Yu immediately ordered Han Dang to be the vanguard to attack Lujiang County, and ordered Huang Gai to lead 10,000 troops to Danyang. Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang, also defected to Sun Ce. Wu Jingben was

When a native of Wu County, Wu County, and Sun Ce's uncle saw Huang Gai leading his troops, he directly opened the city gate to welcome the army in. Liu Biao also secretly sent Liu Pan with five thousand troops to seize Lujiang River.

It is said that Han Dang led an army of five thousand as the vanguard. When Wan County and Juchao County saw the arrival of the army, they hurriedly opened the city gates to welcome Jiangdong's army. After Han Dang occupied the two counties, he organized his troops and waited for the arrival of Zhou Yu's army.

The defection of Wanxian County and Juchao was also within Zhou Yu's expectation. After all, Yuan Shu had been defeated, and the two counties had no more than a thousand troops at most. How could they withstand the attack of the army, so it was reasonable for them to defect to him.

After Zhou Yu led his troops to Juchao, he imitated Yuan Shu's handwriting and wrote an imperial edict and passed it to the city. When Liu Xun saw the jade seal mark on the imperial edict, he did not doubt that Yuan Shu was there. He thought that Yuan Shu was besieged by a large army and led 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city.

Because Zhou Yu was defeated on the way, Liu Xun was even captured alive by Zhou Yu.

After persuading Liu Xun to defect to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu captured Shu County, the prefecture without bloodshed. Since then, Sun Ce has Lujiang, Wujun, Kuaiji, Yuzhang, Yuzhang, and Danyang in his hands. Except for Jiujiang in Yuan Shu's hands, Yangzhou has basically surrendered to Sun Ce.

all.

Liu Pan led an army of five thousand to Shu County and was preparing to attack the city. Suddenly he saw a young man appearing on the city. He was eight feet tall, had a face like a crown jade, and was handsome and handsome.

"I am under the command of Marquis Wu, and now Lujiang is owned by Jiangdong." After saying this, Jiangdong's flag was suddenly raised on the city.

Liu Pan's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Jiang Dong to move so quickly and occupy Lujiang River.

"Is this the whole world that belongs to the royal family? I have come to take over Lujiang under the orders of the Holy One. Why don't you open the city gate quickly?" Liu Pan shouted.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "I am under the command of Marquis Wu. I dare not withdraw my troops without Marquis Wu's order. I hope the general will forgive me."

Seeing that the city was heavily guarded and the number of people was large, Liu Pan had no choice but to lead his troops back to Lu'an angrily.

The Yanzhou troops stationed in Chenliu also sent troops to occupy Runan, Chen State, Yingchuan, and Yuan Shu failed. The defenders of the three counties surrendered directly in the face of Cao Cao's army. Cao Jun sent troops to hold on, and then led his troops to Pei State.

, Liang State, prepared to occupy the entire territory of Yuzhou in one fell swoop.

Let us say that after Hua Xiong led two thousand cavalry to escape from Yangzhou, they went to Pei State. Seeing that it was Hua Xiong who was leading the troops, the Pei State Guardsman did not doubt that he was there and opened the city gate to welcome Hua Xiong into the city.

After occupying the country of Pei, Hua Xiong informed the general about the defeat of the Zhong family's army, and the officials and generals in the city chose to join Hua Xiong one after another.

Then Hua Xiong led his troops and took advantage of the situation to occupy Liang State.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun arrived with his army, but was blocked by Hua Xiong.

At this time, Hua Xiong had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered from Liang and Pei, and Cao's army could not conquer them for a while.

Hua Xiong knew that relying on the Liang and Pei kingdoms would not last long, so he followed the advice of his officials and ordered people to send a letter of surrender to the court, while secretly contacting Liu Bei.

After this great defeat, the territory under Yuan Shu's rule was divided among the princes. Yuzhou was occupied by Cao Jun and Hua Xiong. Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling, saw Yuan Shu's failure and defected to Xuzhou.

Liu Biao was in a bad mood. Liu Pan captured Lujiang but was overtaken by Jiangdong. Jingzhou and Jiangdong had been at odds with each other for a long time. It was very difficult to seize Lujiang from Sun Ce. Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang, also defected to Sun Ce. What's more,

What is hateful is that after the generals under his command arrived in Yuzhou, they found that Pei and Liang were occupied by Hua Xiong's troops and the remaining counties fell into the hands of Cao's army. This great victory turned out to be an advantage for Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei.

, but Jingzhou, which suffered the most casualties, did not take any advantage, and even looked at Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Cao Cao with even more unkind eyes.

Hua Xiong's letter of surrender was also delivered to Liu Biao's hands.

In anger, Liu Biao wanted to send troops to attack Pei and Liang, but was dissuaded by Kuai Liang.

"In Yidu, the Jingzhou Army spent a lot of money and food, and tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield. However, Sun Ce made a sneak attack on Lujiang County, and the Yanzhou Army also occupied Runan, Chen State and Yingchuan."

Kuai Liang said: "Your Majesty, on the surface, the princes are following His Majesty's orders, but in reality they have their own agendas. Hua Xiong has ten thousand people under his command. If His Majesty recruits them at this time, they will certainly be able to make Hua Xiong feel grateful and be able to contain Yanzhou's soldiers and horses."

"It's hateful that I don't have enough soldiers and horses in my hands, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed the princes to be so rampant." Liu Biao gritted his teeth.

"At this time, the rebels have just been defeated. The prestige of the Holy One is unmatched. The army has suffered heavy losses. We need to slow down the plan. When the Holy One has the land of Yangzhou, we can then capture Yizhou and revitalize the Han Dynasty." Kuai Liang faced the current situation.

There is no choice. With the strength greatly reduced, it is possible to get more benefits, and the Jingzhou army has no choice but to attack Yuan Shu.

The speed of the princes' actions was beyond Lu Bu's imagination. He originally thought that it would take a lot of effort for the princes to occupy Yuan Shu's rule, and they might break up with Liu Biao.

Yuan Shu, who used to be tyrannical in the past, now only has one county in Jiujiang in his hands. Even if the army does not attack Jiujiang, it will not last long. With one county in Jiujiang, it is not easy to support tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It can be said that Yuan Shu has nothing to worry about. This is also true.

In response to that sentence, the defeat was like a mountain. If the food and grass had not been burned, Yuan Shu's victory was a foregone conclusion. Unfortunately, Li Dou's fire cut off all Yuan Shu's hopes.

After escaping back to Shouchun, Yuan Shu did not forget Li Dou's incident and immediately ordered the arrest of Li Dou's family. He hated Li Dou's family to the bone. If it had not been for Li Dou's rebellion, the Zhong family would have won. The grain and grass were burned.

The family's army was defeated, and Yuan Shu was even prepared to execute Li Dou's tribesmen with the most cruel means. Without Li Dou, he would have defeated the coalition forces and achieved great achievements.
