The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 100 Outside of Changsha County, there is a stalemate

In July, Wei Qing and Chen Qingzhi's army broke through Xiangdong County and continued to attack Changsha.

Outside Changsha County, like Bai Qi and Li Cunxiao who came here, they encountered fierce resistance from Sun Quan's army.

Among them, the army of Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Chengdu totaled 20.

After finding out that his own army had blocked Changsha County from all directions, Liu Bian led Huo Qubing and Lu Bu to personally lead an army of 12 to go there.

He naturally wanted to see for himself such a big scene as winning Sun Quan.

However, the news that Zhou Yu's navy was vulnerable and defeated in just one morning reached the ears of princes all over the country again.

In September, Cao Cao conquered Liyang and was celebrating his victory. When he saw the news, he stood up abruptly.

"Zhou Yu's navy is well-known all over the world. How could it be so vulnerable that it was defeated by Liu Bian's navy in just one morning? How is this possible?" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and murmured.

"Prime Minister, for the present strategy, we should speed up the Northern Expedition to take down the four northern states, concentrate our superior forces, unite with other princes, and jointly fight against Liu Bian, otherwise, the world will be in danger!" a counselor said indignantly.

Cao Cao nodded heavily, and ordered: "Release the news, I will send troops to help anyone of Yuan Shao's sons who are willing to surrender to Cao Cao. At that time, as long as they sincerely assist Emperor Xian to govern the world, the past will be forgotten. The Yuan family can still monopolize the four northern states. Send protons to Xuchang!"

"If all four are willing to surrender, I agree with them to divide and conquer, and I will promise them a bright future!"

"My lord, the prime minister's opinion!" The counselor just now couldn't help but admire.

Although it is not as good as taking the four northern states directly, it is definitely the fastest way to solve the four northern states.

Obviously, the biggest scourge today is not Yuan Shao's masters, but Liu Bian.

This son, the princes of the world, everyone will punish him if he gets it, otherwise, he will only have the fate of being eaten by him.

Jingzhou.

"What a Liu Bian, really should not be underestimated, Zhou Yu's navy was so vulnerable..." Liu Biao was amazed and worried.

I am amazed that Liu Bian's navy can defeat Zhou Yu's proud navy, and I am worried that he sent [-] troops to support him. If Sun Quan is defeated, then Liu Bian will definitely target him.

"My lord, the plan now is to send troops as much as possible to support Sun Quan against Liu Bian, so that Liu Bian won't take Changsha so quickly!"

"Now that Sun Quan and I have been bound together, we can only do this."

Liu Biao could only continue to support Sun Quan with Zeng Bing.

As for Liu Zhang in Chengdu, he was still the same as before. When he heard that Zhou Yu's army was defeated, he would surrender like Liu Bian and recall the [-] troops he had sent out.

However, under the persuasion of the counselors below, additional troops were sent to support Sun Quan again.

For a time, Changsha became the center of the Southern War.

Sun Quan sent 30 troops, Liu Biao sent 15 troops, and Liu Zhang also sent 15 troops for reinforcements.

Since then, at the request of Sun Quan many times, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong also sent [-] troops to support.

Even though Liu Bian had strong guns and powerful soldiers, the opponent's nearly 70 troops were defending Changsha, and Liu Biao sent troops to harass him constantly. For a while, the war was at a standstill.

In mid-October, Liu Bian had led his army to the vicinity of Changsha County.

In the big tent, except for Zheng Chenggong, other generals are in it.

"Your Majesty, in the current situation, if we attack by force, even with the blessing of firearms, there will be heavy casualties. This will only benefit Cao Cao in the north in vain. This matter must not be rushed. The place where Sun Quan is now is just a tiny place. " Bai Qi got up and said.

Liu Bian nodded, then turned to ask other generals, "What do you generals mean?"

"Your Majesty, there are 70 Chen soldiers in Changsha County. It is really inappropriate to attack by force. In my opinion, I can only wait!" Han Xin got up and said, "It is rumored that when Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others sent troops, they all brought nearly a year's supply of food and grass. , and as Sun Quan’s base in Changsha, the food and grass inside may last for a year or so!”

"And what we have to do is to consume hard, consume their patience, consume their fighting spirit, consume their food and grass!"

"In addition, you can send General Huo to rush thousands of miles into the hinterland of Liu Biao and Liu Zhang to launch a surprise attack, so that these two people will know what will happen if they offend His Majesty!"

"General Zheng must find a way to stop Liu Zhang from transporting grain and grass by water, so that we can take Changsha with the least casualties!"

"I agree with what General Han said!"

"The minister also agrees, we must not attack by force!"

The other generals also nodded in agreement.

"In addition, we need to be vigilant in advance to prevent the 70 defenders in Changsha from dying to counterattack!" Han Xin reminded.

"Well, that's the only way to go!" Although Liu Bian didn't want to stop, he had to stop.

This time he brought 57 troops, almost all of his combat strength, and it would not be a wise choice to fight to the death with the opponent's 70 troops.

On the contrary, it is cheaper, that old thief Cao Cao!

Since Cao Cao sent the letter to Yuan Shao's sons, Yuan Shao's sons looked at each other and did not reply to Cao Cao immediately.

In the next year, the four members of the Yuan family had detailed talks with Cao Cao, but the results were not reached for a long time, but Cao Cao saw that the four of them were already tempted, so he was not in a hurry.

Most importantly, on the southern battlefield, Liu Bian besieged Changsha, and being unable to attack for a long time gave him the patience to wait.

In March of the same year, Huo Qubing and Lu Bu led [-] dragoons each, and began to enter the mansions of Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, spreading the news that Liu Zhang and Liu Biao were traitors, and told the local people that as long as they went to Liu Bian's rule, they could get Land and rations.

For a time, people under the rule of Liu Biao and Liu Zhang were in panic, and some people were already tempted and began to flee to Liu Bian.

"Liu Biao, a rebellious minister, a gray-bearded old thief, knows that the young emperor is alive, but has repeatedly rebelled against him, intending to kill the emperor and treason the country. I don't know how this old man will face the kindness of the emperor in the future. Those who avenge their kindness will be punished by everyone!"

"puff--"

Seeing the leaflets distributed by the Dragoon Guards under his rule, Liu Biao couldn't help being furious and spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"The first emperor? The first emperor..."

With a pale face, he thought of all the past, and the kindness that Emperor Ling had shown him, and for a while, he remembered what he had done to the young emperor, and fell into endless contemplation and regret.

"The first emperor, the old minister is sorry for you, the old minister is sorry for you!"

Liu Biao slapped his big mouth while talking to himself.

"My lord, my lord, how are you? Quickly, call the doctor..." The counselor standing beside him hurriedly shouted.

"Tell me, am I wrong?" Liu Biao asked while holding the hand of the counselor beside him.

The counselor was silent.

"Hahaha...it seems to be me, wrong..."

"puff--"

Another mouthful of old blood spurted out!

Just fainted.

It seems that Liu Biao couldn't stand the sentence of killing the emperor, treason and the kindness of the first emperor.
