Three Kingdoms video king: The opening inventory of the top ten fighters!

Chapter 264 Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony ([-])

"My lord, I agree with Feng Xiao and Zhong De's opinions, and this is our only choice at present.

After successive years of fighting, our army's food and supplies have been greatly depleted. If they cannot be replenished in time, all hidden crises will erupt.

With our army's current grain and grass reserves, we can only last two months of war at most. If there is no good result after two months, then our army must withdraw our troops, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. "

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao finally made a decision, and the three masterminds under his command agreed, which showed that this was the best choice.

"Brother Ziyuan, you have heard, right? Our army looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact there are dangers lurking inside. If we suffer further setbacks on the battlefield, all conflicts will erupt.

This is the final opinion of our military alliance. If brother Ziyuan can make the decision, then we can discuss the specific details of sending troops. If brother Ziyuan disagrees with this alliance opinion, go back to Wei County early tomorrow. "

Seeing that Cao Cao said this, Xu You's face was a little ugly, knowing that there was no room for discussion, his mind turned quickly.

"Brother Mengde, this alliance has achieved the goal of the lord. I will definitely persuade my lord to send troops when I go back. Brother Mengde should also make early preparations. According to what Mr. Feng Xiao said, send troops to attack Liaocheng first."

"Brother Ziyuan, the important task of mobilizing Brother Benchu ​​to send troops will be placed on your shoulders. Our army will send troops to attack Liaocheng first. If you don't continue to move, then our army will withdraw and return."

After getting Cao Cao's final opinion, Xu You seized the opportunity, discussed the details, and left Puyang early the next morning.

And Cao Cao quickly dispatched Xue Rengui as the vanguard, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers as lieutenants, and sent out all the elite.

The vanguard of Commander Xue Rengui soon arrived at the foot of Liaocheng, and joined with Su Dingfang's army to start the siege of Liaocheng.

"General Xue, you are finally here, with the support of your [-] elite cavalry from Yanzhou, taking Liaocheng is just around the corner.

After you have arrived, you can finally stop Yang Zaixing and Zhao Yun, who are giving me headaches, and I can also attack Liaocheng with all my strength.

Without the harassment of the Fifth Army of the Huben Army, and only relying on the tens of thousands of soldiers in Liaocheng, it is just around the corner to break through the city! "

In Su Dingfang's barracks outside Liaocheng, when he learned that Xue Rengui led cavalry to help, Su Dingfang personally went to the gate to greet him with a very warm attitude.

"Yan'er, Luzhu, you can just wait with peace of mind, tomorrow I will send a betrothal gift, and if not, I can marry you."

Stayed in the backyard of Cai Mansion for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, Cai Yan and Lu Zhu still closed the door tightly, Gongsun Yue had to leave regretfully.

"My lord, this is the leader of the Baibo thieves who wanted to block the way and rob them when they saw that there were few brothers in our army's Wushuang battalion on the way home. At the end, the general saw that two of them were quite brave and cherished their talents, so they spared their lives.

In addition to the two leaders, the last general also selected more than [-] elites among them, and brought them to Beiping City together, preparing to be incorporated into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Peerless Battalion, while the others left freely. "

After returning to the General's Mansion, Li Cunxiao brought two people to meet him. It was Yang Feng, the leader of the Baibo bandits, and Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, the most important general under his command.

Xu Huang originally tried to persuade Yang Feng to go to Chang'an to seek refuge with Li Jue, but he encountered the carriage escorted by Li Cunxiao and others on the way. Together they were captured alive.

Xu Huang was originally one of Cao Cao's five good generals in history. He was praised by Cao Cao as "having the style of Zhou Yafu" because of his strict military management. Several major battles, such as the Battle of Liangzhou, Xiahouyuan, and the Battle of Hanzhong, did not fail.

Needless to say Xu Huang's many achievements, Siwei is also very good. Although the commander is slightly inferior to Zhang He, who is also a good general of the five sons, his force is still superior.

Compared with Xu Huang, Yang Feng's roles are much less, but he is not useless for being able to leave a name in history.

Dong Zhao commented that he is "brave but careless". Although he can't stand alone, he is still qualified as an executor, and his command and force are very good.

Apart from these two people, the more than three hundred people who can be called the elite by Li Cunxiao must be of good standard, which is a surprise.

"Ziqi, Gongming, why don't you pay your respects to the lord?"

Reminded by Li Cunxiao, Yang Feng and Xu Huang finally came to their senses and quickly knelt on the ground to salute. They came to Beiping City, and after seeing many good advisers and generals under Gongsun Yue's command, their arrogance was worn down.

"My lord, it's fine to leave this place to the last general. You and Mr. Yuan Kai will also go down to have a rest, and sit in the county office to make arrangements. If the east wall is breached by Yuan Jun, the last general will come to see you!"

Seeing that the east wall had already blocked the most violent attack, the more Gongsun knew to stay here, it made Di Qing feel scruples and took care of the two of them, so he no longer insisted on staying here.

"Hanchen, you are one of the few generals in our army who can stand alone. After the war here is over, I still count on you to sit in the south and take care of yourself!
Remember not to be stingy with the crossbow arrows, if they are gone, they can be remade, which can reduce the number of casualties for the brothers. Once Yingxiang and his reinforcements arrive, it will be time for a decisive battle. "

"The lord cherishes the soldiers, and the general understands that after a lot of painstaking efforts, he will not let the brothers sacrifice in vain at will!"

After leaving the eastern city wall, Gongsun Yue did not return to the county government office immediately, but inspected the other three city walls to confirm the situation before returning to the county government office to rest.

The east wall was guarded by Di Qing, the south by Han Qinhu, the west by Li Cunxiao, and the north by Qin Qiong.

The 1st Youwuzu Army guarded the eastern city wall, where the pressure was the greatest. The remaining [-] soldiers of the Youwuzu Fourth Army were evenly distributed with [-] soldiers from the [-] Youwuzu Third Army on the south, north, and west sides. The second army of the sudden cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry are the reserve team, ready to support at any time.

On the first day of attacking the city alone, Yuan Jun killed more than [-] people in battle. After losing more than [-]% of his soldiers, except for consuming a lot of arrows and defense equipment from the defenders, he did not even climb to the top of the city once.

"My lord, our army does not have an absolute advantage in strength, and a strong bow and crossbow are useless. Today, more than ten thousand brothers have been lost. We can no longer attack like this. Let's retreat!"

In Yuan Shao's large tent, the atmosphere was gloomy and gloomy. All the generals in the tent had red eyes, mixed with anger and fear. Although they were all experienced in battle, they still had lingering fears about today's siege.

"My lord, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the last is to attack the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort.

Now that our army is at a disadvantage in all aspects, and it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is better to suspend the war and wait for the next year to plan carefully and start all over again. We can't lose all our family fortunes! "

The reason why Gongsun Yue has this confidence is naturally that through the system, he spent another 100 million exchange points to exchange 50 "Silver Summoning Cards" that are biased towards politics, summoning 50 political talents, and went to the Yuyang Recruitment Hall to apply for recruitment one after another .

"My lord, Anping County is the bridgehead directly facing the Qinghe Kingdom. Yuan Jun's commander guarding the Qinghe Kingdom is Shi Wansui, one of the ten great generals. Our army must have a general who is good at fighting to sit here so that we can feel at ease.

General Di has strict military discipline, treats soldiers well, and is meticulous and reticent. He must carefully consider the chances of success before proceeding. "

The sooner Gongsun got through with Du Yu, Du Yu stood up while all the generals in the hall were still whispering to each other, and put out a candidate for everyone to discuss.

"Everyone, you can speak freely about whether Hanchen is qualified to be the prefect of Anping. If there is a more suitable candidate, you can also speak up and discuss it."

Li Cunxiao, Yue Yun, and Qin Qiong are the only people who can match Di Qing's qualifications. Li Cunxiao only likes to lead troops to fight, and he doesn't like many government affairs in a county, so naturally he won't fight.

Yue Yun and Qin Qiong's combat achievements were slightly inferior to Di Qing's, so naturally it was inconvenient to compete with each other. Seeing that Gongsun Yue was quite satisfied with Di Qing, and his elder brother Di Renjie was the prefect's chief history, he naturally wouldn't be blind.

"My lord, we all agree that General Di is the most suitable candidate for the prefect of Anping, enough to take on the great responsibility."

Seeing that Di Qing was favored by everyone, Gongsun Yue naturally made the decision immediately to appoint Di Qing as the prefect of Anping County, but Di Qing did not have the slightest expression of joy on his face, but was rather dignified.

"I am grateful to have such trust from my lord, but I feel that the burden on my shoulders is heavy. I need to focus on military affairs, and I may be neglected in government affairs. I also hope that my lord can send a capable person to assist the general in governing government affairs."

After listening to Di Qing's words, Gongsun Yue fell into a brief silence. Di Qing's worries did exist, and he should be assigned an expert in civil affairs.

"Mr. Yuan Kai, I know you have great talent. Right now, you are appointed as the prefect of Anping County and the magistrate of Xindu County. You are fully in charge of the government affairs of Anping County, while Hanchen is concentrating on military affairs. You don't feel inferior, do you?"

"Alright, alright, Ziqi and Gong Ming, hurry up, if you can come back from the wrong way, this general will definitely use it again.

From today onwards, Ziqi will join the Wushuang Battalion as the deputy commander, temporarily serving as the deputy general of General Zilong, while Gongming will join the Sixth Army of Youwu Army as the deputy general of General Xu Rong, to train another powerful army for our Youzhou! "

Especially after becoming the prefect of Zhongshan, Liu Bei would often find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, sighing and complaining about himself, quite depressed.

Although the various conditions offered by Gongsun Yue are very generous, but Liu Bei is the capital of a hero, he would not be willing to be subordinated to others, but he has never had the opportunity to let him go, so he can only lie dormant temporarily to wait for the opportunity.

"Congratulations to General Ziqing for getting two good generals to join us. Our strength in Jizhou has risen to a higher level!"

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are obviously different from other advisers and generals, and they exist more as partners. Because of this, they are quite incompatible with Gongsun Yue's advisers and generals.

Regarding these situations, Gongsun Yue was naturally very clear, but he did not express any opinions, but deliberately indulged them.

Neither give Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei too much room for independent development, nor let the three feel that they don't pay enough attention to it. We must use their talents and prevent them from growing.

"Brother Xuande, although I have a lot of good advisers in Jizhou, my development time is still short, and my military strength is obviously insufficient. Although I defeated Yuan Benchu, my background is still quite different.

In the coming time, they will fall into a stalemate, and it will be difficult to tell the winner in a short time. Only by working hard to increase their body size can they gain an advantage in future competitions. "

After Liu Bei came to Zhongshan County from Changshan County, he persuaded many times to send troops to welcome the emperor back to the east, but Gongsun Yue used various reasons to prevaricate him.

In order to stop Liu Bei's mouth, Gongsun Yue still used the lack of strength as an excuse to give him hope on the surface, but in fact they both tacitly understood that it was impossible to welcome the emperor back to the east.

Liu Bei is a smart man. After seeing Gongsun Yue's every move in Jizhou and Youzhou, he knew that Gongsun Yue didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the big man, and there were faint signs of regaining his independence.

However, Gongsun Yue hasn't fully shown all this, and Liu Bei hasn't found a suitable place for a while, so he can only watch the changes in the current situation for the time being, and make plans after being clearer.

"Everyone, there is still a lot of time before the dinner party. You can arrange the activities yourself, as long as you don't miss the time. If you have nothing else to do, go away."

As a veteran on the battlefield, how could Su Dingfang not know the truth of the importance of military speed, using military force to be just and to win by surprise, once the opponent is aware of the purpose, he will be inferior first, and failure is only a matter of time.

"Brother Rengui, don't worry, as long as there is no harassment from the Huben army, if you can't take Liaocheng in three days, then I will have no face to go back to Weijun to meet the lord!"

After a night's rest, Su Dingfang handed over the remaining thousands of cavalry to Xue Rengui's command to stop the Fifth Army of the Huben Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Army of the Huben Army, Gongsun Yue also dispatched the leopard cavalry led by Yang Zaixing, and the tiger cavalry was still under the command of Li Cunxiao for support at any time.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Zaixing and Zhao Yun took the lead, followed by Xu Huang and Han Meng. Although the Fifth Army of the Huben Army and the Leopard Cavalry had only [-] people, they were not inferior in terms of momentum when facing more cavalry than their own. .

"Zaixing, Gongming, the heavy responsibility of acting as arrows will be given to you two. Don't begrudge the five arrows in succession. If our army can't hold back the enemy's attack, once Liaocheng is breached, then Qingyuan City may not be able to recover." Hold on!"

"Zilong, don't worry, with Gongming and I charging ahead, you and Juzi leading the troops behind, not to mention that there are only ten thousand cavalry standing in front of us, even if there are twice as many cavalry, the tiger and leopard cavalry will not retreat. Half a step!"

After Yang Zaixing finished speaking, he rushed out with the Leopard Rider, followed by Zhao Yun and Han Meng, and the two armies fought under Liaocheng.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the two armies started an encounter battle. Yang Zaixing found Xue Rengui, while Xu Huang fought with Wen Chou.

Although both Yang Zaixing and Xu Huang were at a slight disadvantage, Xue Rengui and Wen Chou couldn't do it with three moves or two if they wanted to take them down.

However, the situation of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan was a bit worse. Xiahoudun was beaten helplessly by Zhao Yun, but Han Meng and Xiahouyuan had a relationship.

The cavalry led by Xue Rengui and Wen Chou were all elite, although they were slightly inferior to the Leopard Cavalry led by Yang Zaixing, they were better than the Fifth Army of the Huben Army, which was still a new recruit.

Although the Leopard Cavalry led by Yang Zaixing boosted morale at the beginning, as the war fell into a stalemate, the disadvantages of the Fifth Army of the Huben Army gradually became apparent.
