The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265 Chen Moutian Breaks

Chapter 265 Chen Moutian Breaks

And just when Xu Huang's army started to march, the two brothers of the Yuan family in Hebei also started their orthodox struggle. First, Mu Yuanshang of Jizhou ignored the persuasion of Tian Feng and others, and personally led an army of [-] to conquer Yuantan in Bingzhou.

Not to be outdone, Yuan Tan personally led an army of [-] to meet Yuan Shang's army. The two were ready to fight at the junction of Jizhou and Bingzhou, that is, Zhao Guojun in Jizhou and Shangjun in Bingzhou.

It can be said that Yuan Shang mobilized the whole army. Except for Yan Liang's [-] Qinghe army, Yuan Shang almost dispatched all Jizhou soldiers and horses, and ordered Bie Jia to dispatch [-] soldiers and horses to stay in Yecheng.

In order to be able to win the first battle, Yuan Shang mobilized all available generals, including Wen Chou, Su You, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, etc., with Tian Feng and Ju Shou as advisors, and countless other officials of all sizes.

On the other hand, Yuan Tan was much weaker. The generals were Chun Yuqiong, Peng An, Wang Zhao, Cen Bi, etc., and the only counselors were Guo Tu and Chen Lin.

Whether it is a general or a counselor, Yuan Tan is weaker than Yuan Shang, but in terms of soldiers, the two armies are about the same, because Yuan Tan will lose all the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou to deal with Yuan Shang, while Yuan Shang must keep Yan Liang's [-] troops Sitting in Qinghe, to keep the rear safe.

Tian Feng had already reminded Yuan Shang that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had wolfish ambitions, and they would definitely take this opportunity to capture Jizhou if they were not stopped by Yan Liang's Qinghe army.

Yuan Shang was unlucky enough, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao hadn't held back, he would have transferred Yan Liang's [-] troops here, and Yuan Tan would have been easily captured.

Yuan Tan led his army to gather at Dingyang City in Shangjun County of Bingzhou. According to Chen Lin's strategy, he asked General Chun Yuqiong to lead [-] troops to set up camp at Mashan on the east side of Dingyang City. Yangcheng was surrounded by Yuan Shang's army and became an isolated city.

Yuan Shang led his army to set up camp thirty miles outside Dingyang City, and was calling for generals to plan for the slope.

"My lord, Yuan Tan's army is divided into two groups, and the troops are stationed in Dingyang City and Mashan. Both are places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. A strong attack is not good for our army. We should break it by plan." Tian Feng stood up and opposed Wen Chou and others. People's strategy to storm Dingyang City.

"However, there are Yuan Tan's [-] troops in Dingyang City, and they can go down in a few days, and there are Chunyu Qiong's [-] troops on the Mashan Mountain outside the city. No matter where the Lord's army is attacking, another army will come to rescue. The lord's army will be attacked by the enemy." Ju Shou also opposed the strategy of attacking one place by force.

"A strong attack cannot be done. Does the military commander have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?" Yuan Shang is now in high spirits, and he finally feels the taste of power in his hands. At the same time, he regrets that he did not listen to the good advice of Tian Feng and others and let Yuan Tan, a wolf cub, go away.

"It's not difficult to defeat the enemy. In the future, my lord can order General Wen Chou to go outside Dingyang City to call for battle, destroy his spirit, and let his morale drop. Then, order the army to besiege Dingyang City. The siege will not attack, and the food and grass in the city will be destroyed. For a few months, the grain and grass in Dingyang City must be in urgent need, Yuan Tan is determined not to give up Dingyang City, he will order Ma Shan Chunyu Qiong to lead an army to bring grain and grass to help, the Lord can order the army to fall outside Dingyang City, and break Chunyu Qiong's troops.

Chunyu Qiong's soldiers and horses were destroyed, Dingyang city lost foreign aid, and there was no food and grass, so they would break through the siege. My lord can order the soldiers and horses to ambush outside the city. Without Chunyu Qiong's soldiers and horses to help, Yuan Tan's army could be broken. "

Tian Feng's talent is far from comparable to that of Guo Tu, Chen Lin and others. Although Chen Lin's strategy of dividing the army is very good, it is a pity that Tian Feng can see the flaws in this formation at a glance.

And going to Tianfeng can be counted, Yuan Tanding is reluctant to give up Dingyang City, otherwise Yuan Tan would lead an army to break through the encirclement early when there is sufficient food and grass, and Chunyu Qiong's [-] soldiers and horses will be there to support him. With Yuan Shang's current strength, it is impossible It can't stop Yuan Tan's [-] army.

"Be good, just act according to the strategy of the military adviser." Yuan Shang was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately dispatched troops to prepare to kill the disobedient brother.

Although Yuan Shang is far behind his father Yuan Shao in talent and fame, he has an advantage, that is, he relies heavily on Tian Feng and others in the military. Unlike Yuan Shao, who often goes his own way, often looks down on Tian Feng and others' strategies and is self-righteous , There are words of joy and salary.

As Tian Feng said, after Wen Chou showed his power outside Dingyang City and beheaded three generals, Yuan Tan was afraid of Wen Chou's bravery and no longer sent people to fight. Close the four doors and go back to the mansion to enjoy the blessings. It can be said that it is out of sight and out of mind.

Wen Chou saw that it was useless to call the battle, so he followed Tian Feng's policy and ordered the army to besiege the four gates of Dingyang City. A wide and deep trench was dug outside the gate, and more horses and other objects were set up, as if to guard against death.

After Yuan Tan heard this, he immediately led all the people in the city to the top of the city to watch.

"What is the meaning of this? I want to trap you to death?" Yuan Tan's expression was not good. He was not afraid of Yuan Shang's army attacking the city, because there were [-] soldiers and horses in the city. According to Chen Lin's strategy, whether Yuan Shang attacked Dingyang City or Mashan, the two The local soldiers and horses can support each other. After a long time, Yuan Shang will not be able to attack for a long time, and he will definitely leak a loophole. At that time, he can find a good opportunity to defeat the enemy.

However, Yuan Shang did not follow his thinking, but surrounded rather than attacked, which made Yuan Tan, who did not have much military strategy, at a loss.

"My lord, the food and grass in the city can last for more than a month at most. Don't waste it with the enemy army for a long time. Make plans early." Yuan Tan's master Bo Chenlin said hastily. Looking at it from above, it is a taboo for military strategists to guard the four cities.

"What do you mean, you want me to give up Dingyang City?" Yuan Tan's face became even more ugly after hearing Chen Lin's words. It was very demoralizing to lead the army to flee before the fight started.

"My lord, Yuan Shang's troops and horses came from a long way. It is the best strategy to lure them deep into the land of Bingzhou, and then look for opportunities to cut off their food routes." Chen Lin hastily offered another strategy.

"How can Dingyang be abandoned? If you lose the backing of the strong city, who can defeat Wen Chou's courage?" As Tian Feng expected, Yuan Tan was unwilling to give up Dingyang City, and finally decided to stick to Dingyang City and wait for a while. After time, see if you can find an opportunity to defeat the enemy.

During the period, Yuan Tan also ordered the general to go out of the city at night to attack the soldiers outside the city. Unfortunately, Wen Chou commanded the troops well and did not give Yuan Tan a chance at all. with.

When the Yuan brothers led the army to confront each other, Liu Bei's various armies began to mobilize quietly. Xu Shu went to Peijun, preparing to mobilize Peijun soldiers and horses to threaten Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao could not be divided into Hebei. Chen Gong rushed to Youzhou to fight with Huang Zhonghui, with a command of [-] troops, went quietly to Bingzhou. Guo Jia also brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals, as well as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, to the Jinan Military Region to make final preparations, waiting for the Yuan brothers When the winner is determined and the strength is greatly damaged, it is the day to enter the army.

Not to be outdone, Cao Cao ordered Cheng Yu to go north to join Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong to coordinate the war in the north, while he himself led an army to confront Liu Bei's army in Peijun.

Chapter 266 Changes in the World

Chapter 266 Changes in the World

At this time, another ambitious prince, Sun Ce, the little overlord, was unwilling to be lonely. Under Zhou Yu's plan, he let his uncle Sun Jing sit in the town to build a business, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong assisted, and then ordered Lu Su to command an army of [-] sailors. Sitting in Huainan, he led [-] soldiers and horses to Huiji, intending to take this opportunity to take Jiaozhou.

Today, most of Jiaozhou has been occupied by Shi Xie's family. It can be said that Jiaozhou's family has already separated one side, and Shi Xie is also a man of great talent. land.

It's a pity that there are many alien races in Jiaozhou, which are difficult to tame, and they often rebel everywhere. It is quite difficult for Shi Xie who just ruled Jiaozhou, but fortunately, Shi Xie of Jiaozhou can be regarded as a vassal now.

Shi Xie is very capable. While integrating the strength of Jiaozhou, he sent people to investigate the movements of surrounding forces.

Shi Xie knew very well that with Jiaozhou's economic and military strength, he was not qualified to challenge those big bosses in the Central Plains. He kept a low profile, but no matter how low-key he was, he was still targeted by the ambitious Sun Ce.

When Shi Xie got Yangzhou and Sun Ce mobilized an army in Huiji, he knew that something bad was going on. Huiji bordered Jiaozhou, and Huiji had no enemies. Sun Ce's intention was already obvious, and that was his Jiaozhou.

It wasn't long before the Shi family took Jiaozhou, and they divided their troops to suppress the disobedient aliens. The soldiers in their hands were no match for Sun Ce and other tiger and wolf divisions.

The strategic Shi Xie began to plan his way forward, and it was definitely not an option to stick to Jiaozhou, because he had no confidence in being able to withstand Sun Ce's attack.

As for foreign aid, there are only Yizhou and Jingzhou. Both states are under the control of the clan of the Han Dynasty, and the strength of the two states is very strong. However, it is very difficult for Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou to send troops to help.

"Is that really the only way? I hate that I was born in a remote place in Jiaozhou." Shi Xie was very helpless. He was full of knowledge and ambitions, but the background in Jiaozhou was too weak, and he didn't have any talents in his hands. It was just a few of his brothers, and they were all a group of people with little ability, let Shi Xie do something against Sun Ce.

"Do your best and obey the destiny." Shi Xie sighed helplessly, and then sent his son Shi Hui to Jingzhou with a large number of rare treasures, and asked Liu Biao to send troops to contain Sun Ce in Yangzhou, so that Sun Ce would not want to attack Jiaozhou.

Shi Hui is Shi Xie's most proud son. He has good achievements in both knowledge and strategy. Moreover, Shi Hui loves riding and shooting. He often leads troops to suppress aliens. Let him be able to inherit the land of Jiaozhou in the future. After his strength is strong, it is not without the opportunity to compete with many princes in the Central Plains.

Jiaozhou scholars were threatened, and they were mobilized urgently, and the army gathered.However, Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, the two orthodox clansmen of the Han Dynasty, remained unmoved by the outside world and still went their own way.

Liu Zhang in Yizhou had just gained power, and he was full of spirits. He took a concubine today and traveled to the mountains tomorrow. He had a great time. The boss Liu Ba and others repeatedly persuaded him, but Liu Zhang still went his own way, and he did not pay attention to and win over the Yizhou clan. The big family has a very high opinion of Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was worried about Zhang Lu, an old official. He wanted to transfer Zhang Lu away from Hanzhong and send his cronies to control important areas in Hanzhong. Unfortunately, Zhang Lu was not an idiot. He captured Zhang Lu's family, young and old, and ordered General Pang Xi to lead his troops to attack Hanzhong.

It's a pity that Pang Xi was not Zhang Lu's opponent, and Zhang Lu defeated him many times when he used troops. As a last resort, Liu Zhang gave up the idea of ​​attacking Zhang Lu, and let Pang Xi sit in Bazhong to guard against Zhang Lu. As for Liu Zhang, he started to be his local emperor again.

Zhang Luruan and Liu Zhang led troops to attack Chin Chin, killed Pang Xi, and fought with Liu Zhang forever, but the land of Yizhou was very dangerous. No matter how powerful Zhang Lu was, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops and go back to Yizhou. , as his Hanzhong king, ignoring the changes in the Quartet.

As for Sili Prefecture, the heart of the big man is, because of Dong Zhuo's actions, Sili Prefecture can be said to be the most turbulent place, and the people are miserable.

After finally waiting for Dong Zhuo to die, several generals under Dong Zhuo began to attack me again, and they fought happily.The family property that made Dong Zhuo rule the world has been exhausted to only a hundred thousand soldiers and horses left. The Liangzhou iron cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry who were frightened in the world, now there are only two or three big cats and kittens left.

Since Lv Bu took the opportunity to kill Guo Si and Li Jue, he took control of the two imperial capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an, welcomed the emperor back to Luoyang, learned from Dong Zhuo, and controlled the government. He has the strongest strength.

Then Zhang Ji, Dong Zhuo's old general, led [-] troops in the east of the river. He ignored Lv Bu's order and had no intention of fighting.

Fan Chou, Dong Zhuo's former general, led [-] troops into Hongnong County, and followed Zhang Ji's example to stick to one side, and was named Zuo Zhonglang General by Lu Bu in the name of the Son of Heaven. Since then, Dong Zhuo's legacy has weakened to the limit.

But even so, the three forces add up to more than one hundred million soldiers and horses, but Dong Zhuo's most powerful period is so terrifying.

As for Liangzhou, under the guidance of the ambitious Han Sui, he joined forces with Ma Teng to attack the city everywhere. Now Ma Teng and Han Sui have already shaken Liangzhou. Ma Chao, Pound and other fierce generals.

Although Han Sui's strength is not bad, but he is afraid of Ma Teng's strength, so he has to put himself under Ma Teng and make good friends with Ma Teng to protect himself.
