Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

And after Xue Rengui had the qualification to lead an army alone, Gongsun Xu also gave the two other qualifications to lead an army alone.The three are Wei Qing and Ran Min.

Therefore, during a discussion in Puyang City, Gongsun Xu gave Xue Rengui, Ran Min, and Wei Qing the qualification to lead an army alone, and even gave Gongsun Xu the banner of the three-member army.At the same time, because Xue Rengui, Ran Min, and Wei Qing started to lead the army alone, Gongsun Xu also dispatched the three of them, and equipped them with a relatively complete lineup.

Xue Rengui was the chief general of the Lingbiao army, with Wei Xiaokuan as his military advisor, and under his jurisdiction were Wei Gao, Yang Yande and others.

Ran Min is the chief general of the Nuxiong Army, with Zhang Dingbian as the deputy general of the Nuxiong Army, governing Luo Cheng, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin and others.

Wei Qing is the chief general of the Snow Mang Army, with jurisdiction over Wei Yan, Tian Yu, Tian Ji, Tian Dan, Tian Zaibiao and others.

The Lingbiao Army, the Nuxiong Army, and the Snow Mang Army's three Yan State new armies all have 5 troops, but now the Snow Python Army under Wei Qing's command can gather 5 soldiers in a short period of time. In addition, Ran Min's Nuxiong Army and Xue Rengui's Lingbiao Army are both in the embarrassing situation of insufficient numbers.Especially Xue Rengui, Ran Min has a certain reputation in Bingzhou, and Xu Da is not someone who would be jealous, so Ran Min should still be able to pull out 3 to [-] people in Bingzhou, Jizhou will support Ran Min again , then Ran Min's [-] Angry Bear Army should be completed soon.

However, the Lingbiao Army on Xue Rengui's side is more difficult to deal with. Xue Rengui's original Wild Lion Army had less than 3 people left after capturing Puyang. Although Xue Rengui is eager now, he is discussing with Di Qing After asking several times, he asked Gongsun Xu again. After Gongsun Xu spoke, Di Qing gave Xue Rengui [-] troops.Fortunately, Gongsun Xu also said at the end that the Wild Lion Army and the newly formed Lingbiao Army will go south to Yuzhou. At that time, no matter what methods Di Qing and Xue Rengui use, what he wants to see It is because the Wild Lion Army and the Lingbiao Army can be fully established, which means that Gongsun Xu hopes to see [-] Wild Lion Army soldiers and [-] Lingbiao Army soldiers in Yuzhou.

And Gongsun Xu's order was to ask Xue Rengui and Di Qing to surrender the prisoners on the battlefield, but this was not a problem for Di Qing and Xue Rengui.The only problem is that Gongsun Xu actually just pointed out a way for Di Qing and Xue Rengui, and did not ask Xue Rengui and Di Qing to complete it. The number of the army was replenished.

Not long after the appointment of Ran Min and Wei Qing was announced, Gongsun Xu received a message from Meng'er, a message of Xiang Liang's death.

Although I don't know why Xiang Liang died, the news Meng'er sent to me is absolutely true, and Xiang Liang's death means that Chu's southern expedition army is on the brink of failure. After all, Xiang Liang The main general is dead, and the rest of Si Xingfang, Li Tianrun, Shan Shiqi and others can't support the main beam, so when he got the news of Xiang Liang's death, Gongsun Xu began to calculate how long it would take for Xiang Yu to get the news .

After calculating the approximate time, Gongsun Xu called Xue Rengui, Di Qing and others, and at the same time sent an order to Su Lie in Qingzhou. After the discussion was complete, Gongsun Xu led the [-] imperial guards The soldiers of the army and the two large armies of the Wild Lion Army and the Lingbiao Army, which have been somewhat effective in enlisting soldiers and horses in Yanzhou recently, headed towards Yuzhou.

After receiving the order from Gongsun Xu, Su Lie, the leader of the Wind Leopard Army in Qingzhou, immediately discussed with his teacher Li Jing. In the end, Su Lie led the [-] Wind Leopard Army from Qingzhou, entered Yanzhou, and finally left Yanzhou Go to Yuzhou.

On the other hand, the news of Xiang Liang's death in battle was also quickly passed to Xiang Yu in Yuzhou by Fan Zeng and others after it reached Xiangyang.After Xiang Yu learned that Xiang Liang died in Jiaozhou, he was inexplicably sad. Finally, after discussing with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, Xiang Yu left Ning Bobiao, Zhong Limei, Ji Bu and others to stay in Yuzhou , I led the three thousand overlord cavalry back to Xiangyang first to stabilize the situation in Chu.

And the cause of Liang's death was learned by the high-level Chu army in Yuzhou. It turned out that Xiang Yu led all the generals to attack Jiaozhou south, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who occupied Jiaozhou, used the terrain to block him. The elite of the army attacked Jiaozhou all the way, and beat Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming army to flee when they saw the Chu army's banner.But in the end, during Xiang Liang's underestimation of the enemy, Xiang Liang was ambushed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and a thousand elite Chu army faced Zhu Yuanzhang's three thousand elite men. In the end, all three thousand elite men of Xiang Liang died in battle, including Xiang beam.

Zhu Yuanzhang also used this battle to attack the Chu army who had invaded Jiaozhou, and forced Chu's southern conquest of Jiaozhou to end in failure.

Chapter 735 Three-way Army Attacks Yuzhou

In the camp of the Chu army in Peiguo, Yuzhou, Ning Bobiao and Lu Wenlong were frowning at this time, looking at a map in front of them with a sad face.

Three days ago, after Xiang Yu learned that Xiang Liang had died in battle in Jiaozhou, he rushed back to Jingzhou with three thousand overlord cavalry. The territory of Yuzhou was assigned to three people, and these three people discussed all matters in Yuzhou after Xiang Yu left Yuzhou.

The three men were Ji Bu, Zhong Limei, and Xu Shu. Among them, Ji Bu led [-] Chu troops in Yingchuan, Zhong Limei led [-] Chu troops in Liangguo, and Xu Shu led [-] Chu troops to confront Yue Fei in Peiguo. And among Ji Bu, Zhong Limei and Xu Shu, Xu Shu is the main one.However, since Xiang Yu left, Xu Shu began to shrink the Chu army's defense line. Unlike the aggressive behavior of the Chu army when Xiang Yu was there, after Xiang Yu left, Xu Shu seemed to intend to stick to Yuzhou.

Xu Shu's behavior was opposed by Xu Shu's subordinates Lu Wenlong and Ning Bobiao, but they were forcibly suppressed by Xu Shu. Afterwards, even though Lu Wenlong and Ning Bobiao harassed him many times in the army, but Still did not force Xu Shu to change his combat policy.

However, Ning Bobiao and the others couldn't say anything against Xu Shu just a few days after the antipathy was carried out, because on this day, Xu Shu received a letter of appeal for help from Ji Bu of Yingchuan County. And according to what Ji Bu said in the appeal letter, the Yan State sent at least [-] troops from Chenliu to Yingchuan, defeating Ji Bu steadily.

At the same time, Yue Fei's 3 men who were confronting Xu Shu and others in Peiguo also began to move around, as if they wanted to deal with Xu Shu and others.

And Xu Shu didn't expect that the Yan State would choose to act at such a time, let alone that the Yan State would act so decisively. At this time, Xiang Yu had just led his troops back to Xiangyang, and Xu Shu hadn't completely convinced Ji Bu and Zhong Limei. Moreover, Ji Bu and Zhong Limei are self-respecting for their outstanding military achievements, and they never take Xu Shu seriously.

If Xu Shu was given a little more time, Xu Shu was confident that he could solve the problems of Ji Bu and Zhong Limei. Even if he could not convince these two people, he could still make them obey his orders. But at this time, Xiang Yu had just left Yuzhou. Xu Shu has not had time for Di Jibu and Zhonglimei to do it.Moreover, Xu Shu did not expect Yan Guohui to use such a large amount of money.

Originally, the State of Yan had Yue Fei's [-] Jinpeng army in Yuzhou, but according to the request letter sent by Ji Bu, the State of Yan had mobilized another [-] troops. With an army of [-], Xu Shu didn't understand why the Yan army didn't need to digest Yanzhou well?Such an impatient attack on Yuzhou would not be worth the loss.

But no matter how Gongsun Xu thinks about it, now that Gongsun Xu has made a move, Xu Shu has to follow up. If he can't, then the state of Chu may lose Yanzhou. This is not the result Xu Shu wanted. .

Xiang Yu led his troops to attack Yuzhou and brought a total of 1 troops. Later, he lost a lot of soldiers and horses one after another in the fight with Wei Guo’s general Wang Zhongsi and Yan Guo’s No.4 general Yue Fei. As a result, Xu Shu is now in Yuzhou. The total number of soldiers and horses that can be commanded is only more than 2. Excluding the soldiers and horses that need to guard the various places, what Xu Shu can use now is nothing more than 1 of his own men and 4 of Ji Bu and Zhongli's men, a total of [-]. people.

But now Yingchuan, where Ji Bu is located, is being attacked by Gongsun Xu's army, and the situation is in a precarious situation, and now Yue Fei is about to make a move. Xu Shu understands that if he is entangled by Yue Fei, then Ji Bu of Yingchuan may really be captured by Yan Guo It's all gone.

So after getting the news, Xu Shu began to rack his brains to think about how to deal with Yan State's offensive against Yuzhou.After Xiang Yu and Zhuge Liang left, they handed over the overall situation of Yuzhou to him. This was trust in him, Xu Shu, and Xiang Yu valued him so much.

After Ning Bobiao and Lu Wenlong had been arguing for a long time, Xu Shu slowly raised his head, respecting Ning Bobiao and Lu Wenlong, and said, "Give me an order to summon the troops immediately."

Ning Bobiao had a fighting spirit on his face at this moment, and said: "General Xu, we are going to fight that Yue Fei."

Looking at Lu Wenlong who was also asking questions on the other side, Xu Shu shook his head slowly, and gave an answer that Ning Bobiao and Lu Wenlong didn't want to accept at all.

"No, we want to withdraw our troops. We will immediately withdraw from Pei Kingdom and retreat to Runan."

"General Xu, why?" Ning Bobiao couldn't believe Xu Shu's words, and asked again.

But at this time Xu Shu obviously didn't want to say more to Ning Bobiao and others, and said coldly: "You don't need to know why, you just need to obey the order."

However, Ning Bobiao was obviously a little bit indomitable, and continued to say loudly: "General Xu, if you don't tell me why today, please forgive me for Ning Bobiao's difficulty in obeying orders."

Xu Shu was also irritated by Ning Bobiao's attitude at this time, and said: "Ning Bobiao, before the king left Yuzhou, he entrusted me to handle all the affairs of Yuzhou. Are you trying to disobey now?"

Ning Bobiao did not expect that Xu Shu would be so radical today. Originally, he just wanted to express his opposition, but now that Xu Shu said this, Ning Bobiao felt a little bit embarrassed to step down.

In the end, it was Lu Wenlong who pushed Ning Bobiao out and blocked the confrontation between Ning Bobiao and Xu Shu.

Afterwards, Lu Wenlong and Ning Bobiao also obeyed Xu Shu's order and assembled all the [-] troops under their command, and then left an empty camp under Xu Shu's order, and the [-] soldiers of the Chu army headed towards Runan. go.

Although Xu Shu achieved his goal today, it also exposed a problem among the Chu army, that is, Xu Shu, who is currently the person in charge of Chu State in Yuzhou, does not have enough prestige among the Chu army in Yuzhou Even Ning Bobiao dared to refute Xu Shu, let alone Ji Bu and Zhong Limei.

What Xu Shu didn't know was that this time Yan State not only dispatched 8 troops to invade Yuzhou. With an army of nearly 16 people, plus Yue Fei's [-] Jinpeng Army and the [-] Wind Leopard Army from Qingzhou, it can be said that Gongsun Xu invested a total of [-] troops in Yuzhou this time.It can be seen that Gongsun Xu attaches great importance to this Yuzhou and Xiang Yu.

However, because the Wind Leopard Army hadn't rushed to the battlefield, Xu Shu didn't know the traces of the Yan Army along the way, but even so, the number of Yan Army that Xu Shu knew now was more than 10, so Xu Shu didn't know Dare to divide the troops, but intend to withdraw the troops back to Runan, gather all the Chu troops in Yuzhou in one place, and at the same time divide the Yan troops with the land of Yuzhou's counties, in order to achieve the purpose of strengthening the Chu army and weakening the Yan army.

Therefore, after leading his troops to withdraw from Pei State, Xu Shu also asked Ji Bu of Yingchuan and Zhong Limei of Liang State to lead their troops back to Runan immediately and join him there.It's just that Xu Shu's order has been issued, but it's not certain whether Ji Bu and Zhong Limei will listen to it. The timing of the appearance of the Yan army is too unfavorable for the Chu army in Yuzhou. It's fate.

And Xu Shu withdrew his troops very decisively. When Yue Fei got the news, the Chu army camp had become an empty camp. Afterwards, Yue Fei ordered Yang Zaixing to lead a cavalry attack, but they were ambushed by Xu Shu. The pursuit was repulsed.Then Yue Fei didn't have any good solution, he could only sit back and watch Xu Shu lead his troops back to Runan.

However, since Xu Shu led his troops to withdraw, Yue Fei also acted decisively. He led his troops to occupy the entire Pei Kingdom in just a few days. Sending troops away seems to have taken Zhong Limei as a target.

Chapter 736 Killing Zhong Limei

In Yingchuan County, Ji Bu held a long sword in his hand and looked at the order letter issued by Xu Shu. After reading it, he couldn't help but angrily said: "What the hell is Xu Shu doing? He won't send troops to Yingchuan to support him at this time." , actually want me to give up Yingchuan and return to Runan? I really don’t know what the king thinks, but let such a cowardly person be my chief general in Yuzhou.”

But after Ji Bu gritted his teeth and scolded Xu Shu, he remembered that Zhuge Liang and Xiang Yu asked him to obey Xu Shu's orders before leaving, and he also agreed to Zhuge Liang's request, so Ji Bu at this time was quite angry. , but finally after some psychological struggle, Ji Bu decided to follow Xu Shu's order and withdraw from Yingchuan to Runan.

Ji Bu was a man with a fighting spirit, good at fighting against injustices, and was famous for keeping his promises and keeping his promises. In Ji Bu's original era, there was a widely circulated proverb among Chu people that "a hundred catties of gold is not as good as getting Jibu's promise". Therefore, the idiom "one promise, thousand gold" was derived.

At the beginning, Ji Bu promised Zhuge Liang to follow Xu Shu's orders in Yuzhou, so although Ji Bu didn't understand Xu Shu's orders, but out of his own heart, Ji Bu decided to withdraw his troops.

However, the opponent Ji Bu is facing now will not allow Ji Bu to withdraw easily. Now Ji Bu is in Yingchuan with 8 soldiers and horses alone against Gongsun Xu's army of [-] people. Continued to lure away from Yingchuan, waiting for the arrival of Su Lie and Li Jing's Wind Leopard Army. This time Jibu had already killed Yingchuan.

However, with the passage of time, Gongsun Xu was also preparing to attack Yingchuan. Although Ji Bu was one of the five generals under Xiang Yu's command, at this time Gongsun Xu's lineup was enough to crush Ji Bu, so Ji Bu If he is still alive at this time, it is entirely because Gongsun Xu is not ready yet.In other words, Yan Jun is not ready yet.

Gongsun Xu's original plan was to invade Yuzhou together with the three armies of Yan, and finally wipe out the Chu army in Yuzhou to achieve the purpose of occupying Yuzhou. However, since the original base of the Fengbao Army was in Qingzhou, it would take a lot of time to rush to Yuzhou. The time is short, so Gongsun Xuna has been waiting for the arrival of the Wind Leopard Army.

However, although Gongsun Xu has not killed Ji Bu by force yet, he has deployed heavy troops in several key places in Yingchuan County. Therefore, it is not easy for Ji Bu to lead his troops to retreat to Runan at this time. .

But people always come up with the solution. Although the lineup of Gongsun Xu's Yan army is enough to make people feel desperate, Ji Bu is not a person who will be caught without a fight. What's more, it's not that Ji Bu has no chance to evacuate Yingchuan now.

Ji Bu, who was stationed in Yingchuan, was willing to follow Xu Shu's order to withdraw, while Zhongli, who was stationed in Liang State, was not too impressed with Xu Shu's order.Originally, Zhong Limei had a lot of opinions on letting Xu Shu take charge of Yuzhou affairs. At this time, the Yan army invaded Yuzhou, Xu Shu not only did not launch a counterattack, but ordered himself to retreat, which made Zhong Limei very disgusted. .

So after receiving Xu Shu's order, Zhonglimei chose to ignore it, as if Xu Shu's order had never reached Zhonglimei's hands.And as one of the five generals under Xiang Yu's tent, Zhong Limei's ability to govern the army is needless to say. Among the [-] soldiers under his command, none of them raised any objection.

After making a decision, Zhong Limai quickly mobilized the [-] troops under his command, and then led his troops to leave Liang Guo on the second day after receiving Xu Shu's order to retreat.However, Zhong Limei did not retreat south to Runan as Xu Shu ordered, but went west to Yingchuan.

The relationship between Zhong Limei and Ji Bu is very good. After learning about Ji Bu's danger, Zhong Limei always wanted to send troops to support Ji Bu, but because Xu Shu didn't order, Zhong Limei never sent troops. Since Shi chose to disobey Xu Shu's order, the first thing Zhong Limei had to do was to send troops to join Yingchuan and Ji Bu's troops.
