The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 180 Yuan Shu suddenly exploded
When he came to Hebei, Liu Bei originally wanted to use Cheng Yuanzhi's power to wipe out Lu Bu and regain his subordinates and family members.Seeing that Cheng Yuanzhi had no intention of sending troops south in the short term, he had to make another plan.

"I heard that Xuande's family and subordinates all fell into Lu Bu's hands?"

Cheng Yuanzhi changed the subject and talked about the Xuzhou matter.

In order for Liu Bei to follow the established route and continue to fight against Lu Bu and the remaining princes, he was really worried.

Liu Bei sighed: "Bei is very anxious about this matter. Lu Bu is capricious, and I have suffered from it repeatedly, and I am really unwilling. What should I do now? Please teach me."

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled slightly: "This matter is easy. Lv Bu and Zhang Yang had an old relationship. After Xuande arrived in Xudu, please ask Zhang Yangqi to write a letter to Lv Bu asking for his old ministry and family members."

"If you want to come, you will surely get what you want."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly bowed his hands in thanks and said goodbye.

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand: "Then I wish Xuande a smooth journey on this trip."

Su Gai leaned over from the side, looked at Liu Bei's far away back with unfriendly eyes, and wondered: "Marshal, since this man is half a hero, why did you let him go?"

"Three hundred knives and axes have been arranged..."

As he said that, Su Gai waved his hand regretfully, and a group of knife and axemen who were ambushing in the garden jumped out and walked away quickly with the murder weapon.

More than 300 swordsmen...

Do you want to chop Liu Bei into pieces... Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head and laughed: "The general trend of the world is that if it is united for a long time, it will be divided, and if it is divided for a long time, it will be united. If you are the master of the world, if you don't know the general trend of the world and the trend of the people, you will only do nothing. Act of."

"I don't understand." Sugai shook his head, then turned to look at Xiaobai, "Do you two understand?"

Both Xiaobai and Xiaobai nodded together: "Uncle Yuyang, you are so stupid."

After all, the two boys looked at each other and laughed.

Seeing that Xiaobai was teasing Sugai again, Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't help laughing.

Su Gai's face was embarrassed, his eyes widened, and he said fiercely: "Then you two talk about it, what does the commander-in-chief mean?"

"Hmph, if you're right..."

"If you're not right, I will let you taste the taste of slap-fried meat today..."

Xiaobai hurriedly took a few steps back to distance himself, and one of them said, "I won't tell you..."

After all, he hid behind Cheng Yuanzhi, poked his head out and made faces at Su Gai.

Sugai was so angry that he jumped on his feet.

Cheng Yuanzhi held one of his sons in one hand, and explained to Su Gai with a smile: "At this time, the world is in chaos, and the people think of Han, but the people in power don't think of Han. Wrap up and rule the people, and perform the actions of a famous minister and a real king."

"Now His Majesty is in Xudu. Although he has lost power, he still has lofty ambitions. He dreams that one day, I will wipe out the world for him and restore the ancestral foundation before returning power to him.

"Lu Buxiong lives in Xuzhou, and he is not a generation who is willing to live under others for a long time."

"Just say that my righteous brother Yuan Shu has power across the four prefectures of Xu, Yu, Yan, and Yang. He has abundant food and grass. He not only has a fierce general like the little overlord Sun Ce, but also has 20 soldiers and horses. How could he be willing to be a Han? minister?"

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, these are all the princes who expressed their intention to separate themselves and become kings very early on."

"Too many people with ideas is the first reason why the world is in turmoil."

Sugai scratched his head: "Master... I still don't understand."

"That... Actually, the commander-in-chief doesn't need to tell me so many reasons. Anyway, I know that it is right to follow the commander-in-chief."

"Anyone who doesn't want to follow the commander in chief, I will let him follow Hades."

"Just tell me who you want to kill, and I'll take his head off and give you a kick!"

Being so loyal is not in vain for my painstaking cultivation over the years. Cheng Yuanzhi was satisfied and asked:
"Xiao Dai, how can you be sure that following me is right. What if I'm wrong?"

Sugai tilted his head and thought for a while: "I remember when I was a child, there were wars in my hometown and the people were in dire straits. Whenever there was a famine, the people would change their children to eat each other. They would not hesitate to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to be with wild beasts."

"It can be seen that in the eyes of the common people, wars, banditry, and heavy taxes are extremely terrifying."

"Under the commander-in-chief, it is much stronger than when Emperor Han was in power. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and they love the commander-in-chief very much. The Hebei territory is at its peak."

"So the commander-in-chief must be right."

Cheng Yuanzhi laughed, turned to look at the vast sky, his thoughts diverged.

In the spring of the third year of Jian'an (198), Yuan Shu did not proclaim himself emperor, but the Central Plains was still in chaos.

The war will not stop because of the demise of a prince.

Because I am the driving force behind the scenes, I will not allow it to stop.

So, it's time to give Yuan Shu a little help...

.........

Xuzhou, Guangling County.

Yuan Shu personally led an army of [-], divided into seven groups, and had been stalemate with Lu Bu here for nearly a year, during which time they fought many times.The four major generals, Qiao Rui (ruí), Le Jiu, Li Feng, and Liang Gang, all died at the hands of Lu Bu.Only five of the nine great generals remain.

The enmity between the two sides has gradually deepened, and it has become an endless situation.

Sun Ce was busy pacifying Jiangdong, and had no time to take care of the Jiangbei war.

Liu Biao sat guarding Jingzhou and watched the fire from the other side.

On this day, Yuan Shu got the report and led his army to fight against Lu Bu.Soldiers and horses on both sides spread out.

Yuan Shu, wearing a golden helmet and a scarlet cloak, immediately stepped forward.Yang Hong, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and other generals lined up on the left and right.

The flags are flying and the army formation is in order.

The gate of the opponent's formation opened, Lü Bu rode out on horseback, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, each armed with weapons, defended from behind.

Yuan Shu pointed at Lu Bu with a whip and said, "Lü Bu, you made a rebellion and killed our generals. Now that our seven armies are here, why don't you just capture them with nothing?"

Lu Bu raised his halberd and replied, "You ruled the prefectures and counties separately, and you didn't serve the imperial court. You are called a Han minister, but you are actually a traitor of the Han! How dare you accuse others of rebellion!"

Yuan Shu shouted loudly: "I am ordered to attack you today, and the emperor's decree is here!"

Lv Bu laughed: "I obey His Majesty's word of mouth, to punish those who fail me!"

Yuan Shu was furious, pointed at Lu Bu with a whip, and shouted angrily, "Who dares to come forward and punish this traitor for me?"

The voice fell, but no one went out to fight, and everyone on the left and right was silent.

Lu Bu's bravery was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and all the generals under Yuan Shu's command felt sorry for him and dared not face him directly.

Seeing that no one dared to challenge him, Lu Bu threw his head up to the sky and laughed wantonly in front of the battle, his voice shook the whole field.

Moment limelight unparalleled.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army attacks!"

Yang Hong, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and other five generals swung their sabers and rode their horses, and led their troops to charge into Lu Bu's army.

With a wave of Lu Bu's long halberd, Ba Jian led his troops back and killed them.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides quickly collided head-on, fighting in one place, clashing and fighting back and forth, stirring up soot and dust on the battlefield.

Lu Bu saw Yuan Shu backing away quietly after the battle, so he led a team of personal guards to charge at the opponent's central army.

It was actually intended to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and all the troops went straight to take the head of the enemy's coach.

Yuan Shu had long guarded against Lu Bu's move to charge into the formation, and when he waved the command flag, five thousand crossbowmen from left and right rushed out, spread out their formations and shot.

Caught off guard, Lu Bu's army screamed miserably, and countless people died from the arrows.Lu Bu danced his halberd like a windmill to block arrows.Reluctantly, the arrows were like locusts, and arrows hit the body from time to time. Fortunately, he was wearing heavy armor and was not injured.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Bu led his troops to retreat quickly, turned around and rushed into the fighting area between the soldiers of both sides, killing and killing.

Yuan Shu waved the command flag in the formation, and tens of thousands of infantry troops poured out from the left and right flanks, each of them holding eight long spears, shouting loudly, outflanking them.

Although Lu Bu was brave, he had no cavalry. The [-] cavalry brought from Chang'an had long since disappeared.

After a year of fierce fighting in Guangling County, there were only more than 2 infantry left, less than a quarter of Yuan Shu's number.

In addition, Yuan Jun is good at using bows and arrows, and he must first rain arrows in every battle, and use human sea tactics to consume them.

Seeing that the momentum is not good, the subordinates seem to be plunged into the ocean, and there are enemy soldiers everywhere.Seeing that Yuan Jun's follow-up troops came to encircle him, Lu Bu hurriedly opened a gap and led his troops back to Xiapi City.

When Yuan Shu gained power, he moved his troops to approach Xiapi City and set up camp.

Chief Secretary Yan Xiang said: "Lü Bu has been defeated so far, and the number of available troops under his command is less than [-]. Our army still has [-] troops."

"My lord, you can send another [-] soldiers and horses to build a camp on the north main road of Xiapi City, and block the reinforcements from other directions in Xuzhou."

"In this way, Lu Bu will be trapped in the isolated city, and sooner or later he will be captured alive by the lord; if Lu Bu abandons the city, I will go to the Pi without using a sword, and Xuzhou will be half in the hands of the lord, and the situation will be settled."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he divided [-] troops into the main road north of the city, piled up soil to form a mountain, and built a fortress.

Seeing this, Lu Bu led his relatives to return north to Xuzhou in order to kill him.

But tens of thousands of crossbowmen fired like rain of arrows, making it impossible to move forward half a step.Had to return to the city.

Lu Bu stood at the top of Xiapi City, sighing.

He couldn't figure out why Yuan Shu's soldiers, who were obviously a group of rookies and were hoisted up by him to beat them, suddenly became so good at fighting.

Since he beheaded Yuan Shu's four generals last time, the latter never played the trick of fighting with him in front of the battle. In every battle, the more bully the less, swarming up one after another.

This side is still fighting, and there are more troops on the other side, as if there are endless soldiers and horses in the future.

This situation frightened his subordinates, and their fighting spirit sank, so they were defeated repeatedly.

It's as if two people are fighting each other to the death, and the other side keeps getting helpers to join the battle.

How can people not panic? !

Previously, in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, Lu Bu had released all Liu Bei's family members and subordinates after receiving Zhang Yang's letter.

This move was to concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shu.

Unexpectedly, he can't beat others now.

It's too embarrassing to say this!
