Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Chapter 121 Yuan Shu Raids Yangzhou

In this way, the six prefectures of Qingzhou, Pingyuan County, Le'an Country, and Jinan Country all fell into Yuan Tan's hands.

After seizing these territories, Yuan Tan's [-] troops have reached their limit.

If you want to continue eastward to Beihai, or southward to Qi State, the damage will become very serious.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Kong Rong's reputation is very good, and Yuan Shao and his general counselors who attacked Beihai would not agree.

The governor of Qingzhou is dead, and Qi can be attacked at any time, so there is no need to rush.

When Yuan Shao waged war in the north, Yuan Shu also waged war in the south.

Yuan Shu only occupied Jiujiang County and Lujiang County in Yangzhou, as well as more than half of Runan County in Yuzhou. The land seemed small, but it was a wealthy place.

His military strength is only under Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao.

After seeing Yuan Shao start to test generals to expand the soil and strengthen himself, he also moved his mind.

The six counties of Yangzhou, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County are the most prosperous, but the four counties south of the Yangtze River are not bad.

Especially in recent years, wars have continued to break out in the north, a large number of people have moved south, and the population of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River has risen sharply.

Moreover, there are no powerful figures in the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, was driven to Qu'ah. There was Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu County, and Yan Baihu, the mighty Yan Baihu, and Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji County, was only so-so.

After much deliberation, Yuan Shu decided to appoint Ji Ling as the general, and Yuan Huan, Chen Ji, Lei Bo, and Le Jiu as the deputy generals, leading [-] troops to conquer Jiangdong.

The so-called Jiangnan refers to the vast area south of the Yangtze River, while Jiangdong mainly includes Danyang County, Wu County and a small part of the northern part of Yuzhang County.

But don't underestimate Danyang County, Danyang soldiers are famous all over the world.

Tao Qian is a literati, why can he sit firmly in Xuzhou, which is controlled by the three aristocratic families of Cao, Chen, and Mi, because he has thousands of Danyang soldiers.

It is these thousands of Danyang soldiers, others dare not have other thoughts.

Ji Ling was originally a retainer of the Yuan family, and he was very capable, otherwise Yuan Shu would not have put so much emphasis on it.

He led an army of [-] to Danyang County.

In the last attack, half of Danyang County was captured by Sun Ce, and Liu Yao only controlled a few counties in the north of Danyang County and part of Wu County.

After Ji Ling crossed the river, he occupied Shicheng with great speed, and then attacked Danyang County.

The Danyang soldiers were indeed formidable, but with an absolute advantage in numbers, Ji Ling still captured Danyang County within five days.

In this way, only the five counties of Moling, Hushu, Jiangcheng, Jurong and Liyang in the south of Danyang County are in Liu Yao's hands.

But Danyang County happened to be between Liyang and Moling. Ji Ling allocated 2 people to Yuan Huan and ordered him to attack Liyang County, and led the main force to continue northward.

After two years of development, Liu Yao came back to life, and he gathered an army of 5000 in Qu'a.

As the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court, he occupied Dayi. Liu Yao was supported by Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, and Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, who sent Liu Yao food, grass and military equipment.

Under Liu Yao's command, Zhang Ying, Fan Neng, Tai Shici and other generals also gathered.

He learned that Yuan Shu was determined to attack Danyang County again, so he decided to send troops.

If the northern part of Danyang County is lost, whether Wang Lang will admit himself is still a question.

Liu Yao personally led the army, set out from Qu'a, and after passing Jurong, he stationed in Moling to confront Ji Ling.

Although Yuan Shu lost [-] soldiers and horses last year, he was not injured, and he had many capable people under his command.

Ji Ling is the top talent under Yuan Shu's command.

He is not only a general, but also a handsome man. It is absolutely no problem to lead a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to fight.

Liu Yao is a serious Han family member. He received the elite education of the royal family since he was a child, and learned all his skills.

He led 10 elite soldiers, and even blocked Ji Ling's [-] horses.

After Ji Ling captured Danyang County, Shouchun's food and supplies were continuously crossing the river from Liyang and hoarding them in Shicheng.

Relying on the superiority of his troops, Ji Ling attacked Moling by force, and at the same time sent partial divisions to attack Jurong.

Liu Yao had few soldiers, and it didn't take long for him to persist, and Liyang completely lost contact.

After five days, he found that Jurong could no longer deliver grain and grass.

Without food, grass and equipment, the army could not fight for a long time. He immediately sent fast horses to the rear to urge him, and only then did he learn the news that Jurong was besieged.

Liu Yao was embarrassed now.

Moling is a fortified city. With 5000 people, it can indeed be defended, but without food, grass and equipment, it will be difficult to sustain.

And the most important thing is that there are only a thousand defenders in Jurong, and it is difficult to defend it.

Finally, five days later, Jurong was conquered by Master Ji Ling, and Moling had less than ten days' worth of food and grass.

Ji Ling ordered the army to besiege Moling and attack every day. Liu Yao's troops gradually decreased. After five days, Liu Yao's meal was halved, and every meal was halved again after five days. The soldiers could only drink porridge.

Their physical strength could no longer keep up.

Five days later, Liu Yao decided to abandon Moling.

He took out all the food and grass, let the soldiers have a full meal, and then opened the city gate to break out.

When Ji Ling captured Jurong, even Liu Yao was about to run out of food, so he kept on guard against him breaking through.

As soon as Liu Yao moved, the soldiers guarding outside the city reported the news to Ji Ling in the barracks.

Ji Ling immediately dispatched the main force to intercept Liu Yao, who was defeated. He led hundreds of cavalry and fled to Jiangcheng. Fan Neng and Zhang Ying were killed, and Tai Shici was also killed.

Ji Ling conquered Moling, but his pursuers were still reluctant to give up, and they pursued Liu Yao closely.

They besieged Liu Yao in Jiangcheng County.

A few hours later, Lei Bo led 1 troops to Jiangcheng County and surrounded him.

Ji Ling is still doing takeover and finishing work in Moling.

Tai Shici led dozens of cavalry to the east. He knew that Jurong was occupied, and now he could only return to Qu'ah County.

Running all the way back to Qu'ah, while recruiting young men, he sent people to inquire about Liu Yao's news.

Liu Yao was besieged in Jiangcheng County. There were only two hundred soldiers in the city, and even including the hundreds of cavalry around him, his strength was only five hundred.

After Lei Bo besieged Jiang Cheng for a day, he found out Liu Yao's reality, and he immediately ordered to attack the city.

In just two hours, Lei Bo's army attacked the top of the city, and Jiang Cheng broke the city.

At this time, Liu Yao had few soldiers and was unable to break through the siege, so he was trapped in Jiangcheng City.

Surrounded by all the generals, Lei Bo came to Liu Yao, who was unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide.

When Danyang County learned that Liu Yao had committed suicide, they all surrendered.

When the news reached Qu Ah, Tai Shici burst into tears, and then dismissed Qing Zhuang, without knowing where he ended up.

After Ji Ling seized the northern part of Danyang County, the entire Danyang County was in Yuan Shu's hands.

However, they were about to continue to attack Wujun to the east, but they were facing Shanyue's attack on the south of Danyang County.
