The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 303 Zhuge's conspiracy, the rampant Yuan Tan, died
Jiujiang, inside Shouchun City.

Because during the war, Shouchun City had already been under martial law.

As for Cao Cao's "big army", they were in Jiao County on the other side of the Huaihe River, a hundred miles away from Shouchun. They said that they had already fought a bloody battle, but they were completely fooling Yuan Shao.

The main reason is that Xun Yu felt that Yuan Shao was powerful and Zhang Xiu was weak, so it would be all right to put some water. After all, Yuan Shao really wanted to take Jingzhou in one fell swoop, but something happened instead.

At that time, Cao Cao cannot be alone.

At this time, the mansion will be closed.

Below the hall are Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Liu Ye, Zhang Liao, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang and other civil and military officials.

Zhuge Liang looked at the letter in his hand, his brows could not help stretching, showing a hint of a smile.

"Hehe, okay, my lord has already slaughtered many families in Jingzhou, and now I have led the fifth army to join forces with Huang Zhong to fight against Yuan Shao."

A few days ago, Zhuge Liang was not feeling well either.

The turmoil in Jingzhou also affected Yangzhou. Although the aristocratic families in Yangzhou had not been punished by Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, as the boss, would be punished sooner or later.

Coupled with the fact that Yuan Shao went south, it is not difficult to understand that they were excited, so that Zhuge Liang put all his energy into suppressing this matter, but now that Zhang Xiu is going north, these people should be honest.

"The First Legion and the Fifth Legion are combined together, plus Zilong's Canglong Yunqi, the total number of soldiers should be close to [-]. I'm afraid Yuan Shao will not be able to advance by an inch."

Because Gan Ning joined the army and has been in contact with water all year round, his skin looks a bit dark, and he said it boldly at this time.

"Marshal, now that my lord is facing Yuan Shao head-on, then we should exercise our muscles and bones, right? Otherwise, Han Sheng Zilong and the others will all make meritorious deeds, and we may not even be able to drink the soup."

Zhang Liao was also quite emotional, and said.

"That's right, it's time to give Cao Cao some color. He sent mere old, weak, sick and disabled people here. Does he really think we are soft persimmons?" Jiang Qin said angrily.

"Don't worry, I called you here today because I have something important to discuss, but it's not with Cao Jun." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Not with Cao Jun?" All the generals were slightly taken aback.

After all, Cao Jun was at the door, no matter how they looked at it, they were the ones beating Cao Cao. They were still thinking of beating the shit out of Cao Cao, but Zhuge Liang's words made them stunned.

"Hehe, if my guess is correct, the Cao army in Jiao County is not Cao Cao's army. I am afraid that at this time, he is attacking Sanhan, or even Yamatai."

Zhuge Liang looked composed.

But the other people in the hall looked horrified, Cao Cao captured Sanhan?Didn't he respond to Yuan Shao's call a short time ago and send troops south?
"Don't be alarmed, Cao Cao has great ambitions, and he is unwilling to be a minister, and he doesn't want to be a gun in Yuan Shao's hands. He is just pretending to show Yuan Shao, and he will never fight to the death."

"I intend to leave an army to contain Cao's army. As for the main force of our three armies, we can go out of Shouchun, enter the eastern part of Runan, and then circle around and insert Yuan Shao's rear to cut off his rear path."

As Zhuge Liang said, he walked to the sheepskin map hanging next to him, then drew an arc with his finger, and finally stopped at the boundary of Chenliu.

"A lone army going deep?" Zhang Liao and other generals shouted in unison.

"Commander, Shouchun detoured to Chenliu, which is nearly a thousand miles away. Not to mention that it is easy to be discovered by such a distance, what is there for the three armies!" Liu Ye also said.

"Commander, encircling and annihilating Yuan Shao is indeed feasible, but it's too risky to go deep alone. It's better to pass through Runan and approach Yecheng Yuan Shao, catching him by surprise."

Gan Ning frowned and said.

For a while, everyone was expressing their own opinions, but few agreed with what Zhuge Liang said.

"No, no, the number of soldiers is not as good as they are. I have prepared more than [-] pieces of Cao Jun's armor, and our army can hold high the Cao Jun's flag and go around in a fair manner."

"Cao Jun and Yuan Shao are allies. They bypassed Chenliu. The officials along the way only thought that we were starting from Xuzhou to support Yuan Shao. They never dared to question the authenticity of our army."

"As for the military rations, there are countless military rations in Yuzhou. Although Cao Cao found some, don't forget that more military rations have not been shipped out."

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said with a light smile.

He even suspected that Zhang Xiu asked people to hide the grain on the spot years ago, so that he would not have to prepare too much military food when he marched into Yuzhou in the future.

"This..." Everyone showed shock.

"At that time, I only need to lead [-] iron cavalry and [-] infantry, and I can easily take down Chen Liu. At the same time, Xu Shu's Fourth Army in Wuguan should also make a move."

"He led his iron cavalry out of Wuguan, and bypassed Hanoi from Guanzhong. After taking down Hanoi, he surrounded his lord three times. Yuan Jun came from a long distance. Seeing that the rear was lost, he was bound to be defeated."

Zhuge Liang added two more sentences.

He had already thought about this strategy, but he was waiting, waiting for Zhang Xiu to deal with Yuan Shao's strongest weapon, status, and influence.

Now that Yuan Shao's influence in Jingzhou has been abolished, he will be fighting Zhang Xiu with bare feet, and it will be a battle of thousands of miles. Zhang Xiu is at the door of his house, and Yuan Shao does not have the advantage due to emotion and reason.

"Three-way double-team?" Zhang Liao and the others murmured, looking a little dazed. They looked at the map carefully and found that if they double-teamed from the two wings, they could indeed cut off Yuan Shao's back.

"Commander, isn't this too risky? Why don't our troops follow what the lord said, and shoot Cao Cao here, but actually draw troops from Runan to Yecheng?"

Liu Ye asked tentatively. He still felt that there were too many variables in the battle of a thousand miles, and it would be better to open the situation from the front.

Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly, he liked to use regular soldiers more than anyone else, that is to say tough, he asked himself that his ability should not be weaker than that of Yuan Shao's ministers.

But at the moment, Zhang Xiu has taken over the front.

What's more, this battle is mainly a defensive counterattack. Even if he fights head-on, Yuan Shao will be beaten back at most, and it will be difficult to hurt him.

But if they cut off their retreat, Yuan Shao's three armies would be defeated without a fight, so maybe they could win a big victory.At that time, even if they can't attack Jizhou in one fell swoop, Yuan Shao will not be able to go south for a short time.

Of course, the more important thing is that he can get more credit for achieving this strategic goal.

"I know what you are worried about, but even if our army goes through to assist in the battle, even if we repel Yuan Shao, our contribution is far less than that of Huang Zhong and the others."

"What's more, this strategy can hurt Yuan Shao, and even directly force Yuan Shao to push out of the Central Plains and belong to the four prefectures of Hebei. This is the most important thing."

Zhuge Liang added another sentence.

This time, no matter what, he will definitely go back and take charge of his own side, which is what Zhuge Liang should do. Zhuge Liang disdains to deal with this kind of situation.

As soon as they heard the merits, the generals became short of breath. The promotion of military merits under Zhang Xiu's rule is still very comfortable. If the military merits are high enough, they will have unlimited glory.

Immediately, everyone agreed.

"Liu Ye, I will personally lead the army this time, and Shouchun will be left to you. Zhou Tai, He Qi, Quan Rou, you three will be the commander of Liu Ye." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Ye and made arrangements.

Liu Ye nodded, and the three of them were also reluctant, but Zhuge Liang's ability to govern the army and people was very superb, but at the age of weak crown, they were convinced.

"Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, the two of you mainly control the Jianghuai lakes, and are ready to help the Lord at any time. The rest of the generals will follow me in Cao Jun's armor and detour around Chenliu."

Zhuge Liang arranged to speak.

Although he has confidence in Zhang Xiu, after all, his hard power is twice as bad. This is not so easy to make up for. After all, Yuan Shao is not weaker than Zhang Xiu in terms of equipment.

"No!" All the generals agreed to drink.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang began to make arrangements, preparing to intersperse matters later. This move is very bold, but if it can be done, the rate of return is extremely high.

…………

The next day, early morning.

The sky was dim, and a ray of sunshine swayed.

Yuan Shao was resting in the camp. Last night they discussed the strategy of defeating the enemy, thinking that the reason why they didn't discuss it in the middle of the night also made him a little sleepy.

"Master, it's not good, Zhang Xiu led people to fight outside the village." The guard whispered outside the tent.

Being woken up in his sleep, Yuan Shao was a little annoyed, got up angrily, grabbed his sword and roared: "Little Zhang Xiu, you really don't know how to live or die, go and call all the generals to fight with me."

"By the way, call Yuan Tan!"

Although Yuan Shao was annoyed, he did not forget to give instructions while putting on his clothes.

Shaoqing, on the head of the village.

Yuan Shao has neatly put on his belt, looks tall and mighty, somewhat luxurious and heroic.

And behind him, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang He, Chun Yuqiong, and Yuan Tan are also considered extraordinary, and they feel quite proud of Zhang Xiu's entire camp.

"Yuan Shao, long time no see!" Zhang Xiu said with a light smile.

"Hmph, Zhang Xiu, don't put on a pretense here. No one in the world knows that you, Emperor Zhang Xiu, have seized power. Today, Master Xingyi must cut you off from his horse as a reward for the emperor's favor."

Yuan Shao was a little annoyed and shouted violently.

"Hehe, Alliance Leader Yuan has such a big tone! Alliance Leader Yuan disobeyed the edict of the Han Dynasty, committed a crime of rebellion, and openly attacked the Son of Heaven. This is really a felony to punish the nine clans."

"As the prime minister of the current dynasty, I have the right, responsibility and strength to eradicate these treacherous eunuchs like you, so as to shake the court and secure the people of the world." Zhang Xiu also took a high point and scolded.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Didn't you come to call for a fight? Then I will let you know what it means to ask for humiliation today." Yuan Shao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

"Where is my son, today I will kill the enemy for my father, to strengthen our army. Let Zhang Xiu see how the number one general under his command was killed by my son."

Yuan Shao said it very loudly on purpose, he wanted Zhang Xiu to know that none of the top generals under your command is my opponent, and you dare to think of a one-on-one fight, and you don't know how to live or die.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the boy will kill the enemy general with his hands today to strengthen the army." Yuan Tan was a little excited, and rushed out with his sword in hand.

"My lord, Zhao Yun is good at martial arts. The general is worried that he deliberately hid his clumsiness earlier. Why don't you let the general go to meet him. Although he can't kill this beast, it's not difficult to draw."

Wen Chou hesitated a little, but said anyway.

"Hidden clumsiness? Why is he hiding clumsiness? Look at me beheading him." Yuan Tan became unhappy in an instant, and immediately retorted.

"This..." Wen Chou couldn't explain clearly either.

"Okay, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Tan'er's martial arts has advanced by leaps and bounds, even if Zhao Yun is clumsy, he can still resist one or two. In this way, you two go to fight for Tan'er."

Although Yuan Shao didn't say anything, but Wen Chou's words still made him feel uncomfortable, but it also made Yan Liang and Wen Chou rush into battle. After all, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"No!" The two nodded in response.

Looking at Yuan Tan who had already rushed out, Zhang Xiu sighed a little, this man really regarded himself as a character, to put it bluntly, that idiot Xing Daorong could kill Yuan Tan.

"Dao Rong, why don't you try it yourself?" Zhang Xiu asked with a smile.

"My lord, leave this Yuan Tan to me. If you don't kill him, I'm afraid Yun will feel bad." Zhao Yun's expression was stern. He was defeated by showing weakness before, and today he wants to let him know what death is.

"Okay, then leave it to Zilong!"

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, Zhao Yun rode out and looked at Yuan Tan in the distance.

Looking at each other, Yuan Tan sneered with disdain, raised his sword high and said in a cold voice: "Zhao Zilong, you are the defeated general again, did you not convince you last time?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiu again, and said in a cold voice with disdain: "Zhang Xiu, don't you have anyone under your command who can fight? It's really boring. Then let's kill you today to boost the morale of the army."

Yuan Tan spoke slowly, as if he had already taken down Zhao Yun, and his temperament was very precise.

Zhao Yun was too lazy to talk nonsense with this bully, but he stared at him with cold eyes. This time, he wanted to avenge his shame and kill him with one blow, otherwise he would dare to be the number one general under Zhang Xiu's command.

"My lord, be careful, don't underestimate the enemy." Wen Chou frowned and warned, at the same time, he had reined in his horse and raised his gun, his body tense and ready to rush forward at any time.

He still knows Zhao Yun's strength.

At least he was not weaker than himself. With Yuan Tan's force, it might be difficult to sustain him.

As for Yan Liang next to him, he was also holding a big sword with some dignity. This was the vigilance of warriors for many years. He realized that Zhao Yun might not be simple.

"Hmph, why are there so many nonsense, I will behead the defeated general within three rounds." Yuan Tan was so confident that he raised his sword and galloped forward.

Zhao Yun didn't say a word, but when he mentioned Ye Zhaoyu, the latter knew how to raise dust, and rushed towards the opposite Yuan Tan like a bolt of lightning.

Zhao Yun leaned slightly, looking at Yuan Tan with cold eyes. The latter was full of flaws, but what he needed to find was a one-hit kill point.

"Found it!" Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes.

From the ribs to the top is the most difficult place for him to swing the knife. Of course, with Yuan Tan's strength, other places may not be able to block it.

As it was approaching, Yuan Tan was excited.

This time, he took the lead, raised the big knife in his hand, and slashed down with power. This knife seemed to have a bit of momentum, and he should have learned from Yan Liang.

This is Yuan Tan's middle door wide open, and he was eager to win, he didn't spare three points, this is a big taboo in a fight.The gun is okay, but heavy weapons like knives and halberds use up to seven points of force.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to parry and draw a knife.

"Hmph, you're looking for death!" Zhao Yun snorted coldly, but he struck out late, the long spear in his hand was like a silver, and he poked his head out to stab Yuan Tan in an instant.

The speed is extremely fast, like a corona snake.

Yuan Tan vaguely caught Zhao Yun's movement, his pupils shrank suddenly, a little scared, he wanted to draw a knife to parry, but it was too late, he could only watch the silver light send into his chest.

Pfft!

The tip of the gun pierced his chest, and the gurgling blood flowed out slowly, and the slightest pain and powerlessness spread all over Yuan Tan's body.He slowly looked down at the blood hole in his chest,
Looking up, a little unwilling, but trembling with fear, said: "Okay, so fast..."
