The words are divided into two ends.

With Yuan Shu's proclaimed emperor, Li Su himself had no time to know for a while how the other princes shamelessly borrowed his political philosophy theories to attack Yuan Shujun's morale.

Yuan Shujun, from civil and military officials to ordinary soldiers, was oppressed by this public opinion offensive to a state of anxiety and concern about God's punishment.

However, since Li Su, as the inventor of this set of political philosophy theory of mind-abiding, must have made great use of it, and no one can use it more perfectly than him.

Moreover, there is another amazing coincidence that the heroes saw, that is, although Li Su didn't know that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao copied him, he falsely promoted the enemy in advance and used "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also copied him" as an argument to prove his correctness.

It’s like the more a paper is cited, although it enhances the persuasiveness of the cited, but it also increases the influence factor of the cited, making the cited's reactionary academic authority more stable. Li Su’s move is equivalent to bragging about whether others have cited it or not.

In addition, Li Su knew that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor, which was actually earlier than Liu Bei and Yuan Shao—

When Pang Tong came back from Yan Xiang, he went to Zhang Xun's place to report the transfer order, and secretly sent one of his servants to tell Li Su about the information he had found in Luoyang.

Pang Tong can also be regarded as selling intelligence to gain a higher starting point in his career, and he will save more credit when he is undercover.

All of this made Li Su more and more capable.

Therefore, Li Su ordered Gao Shun to strengthen his offensive against Jiyang County as early as April 2nd, the day after Yuan Shu ascended the throne. In addition to attacking the city, Gao Shun sent a lot of scolding players and shouted all kinds of swear words at the top of the city with a paper tube horn from afar, which was a trick to attack the heart:

"Yuan Shu has already proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang! Yuan Shao has issued a manifesto in Yecheng that swore to tear Yuan Shu into pieces! Even Yuan Shao said that Yuan Shu was in line with the 'first heaven' and that the generals who followed him would die! The soldiers should surrender quickly and don't die with him!"

"Cao Cao also issued a proclamation to fight against the thieves. Brothers on the other side, we know that you are not educated. You can not believe in those literary words, but you cannot believe in the punishment of ghosts, gods and gods.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Xiang Yu was so strong back then, how could he die? Even if he killed the Emperor Yi, he was punished by God. This is not nonsense. Cao Cao said so. Chen Lin, who was beside Yuan Shao, said so. They all believed it. If everyone in the world believes in things, only if you don’t believe it, you deserve to run slowly as a scapegoat!”

Some of these cursed words are elegant, quoted from classics and said to officials; some are vulgar, specifically to ordinary soldiers who cannot read big words. In short, it is a variety of ways, and there is always a suitable rebel soldiers.

So much so that "Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor" did not become a favorable factor that encouraged Yuan Shu's morale, but instead became a negative factor from the beginning.

While the morale of the rebel soldiers defending the city was extremely low, the morale of Gao Shun's siege soldiers was extremely high.

The officers and soldiers of the Han army were all sincerely inspired by this ideological work and truly believed that "Yuan Shu was calling himself emperor to absorb the punishment of heaven, and his troops were all over, and beating Yuan Shu would definitely be easier than before."

In ancient wars, once one side had morale aroused and the other side was depressed, there would be a significant gap in combat effectiveness, even if it was a battle to defend the city, it would not work well.

Gao Shun attacked fiercely for one day and actually broke through the Jiyang city wall and city gate. Han troops flocked in. During the process of breaking the wall, only hundreds of people died in the entire army, and the killing and injury to the enemy far exceeded the casualties of our own side. The exchange was very beautiful.

However, what Gao Shun did not expect was that after the city wall was broken, the morale of the enemy should have been extremely low, and the entire army would immediately put down their weapons and surrender.

However, Ran Le still brought the elite troops of Yuan Shu army with a total of four or five thousand people, refusing to guard the buildings such as the treasury in the city, as well as a main street leading to the west gate, and the city wall tower on the west side that was close to the clear water, and continued to fight to the death.

Gao Shun rushed for a while, and the Han army suffered a slight casualty and ineffective persuading surrender, Gao Shun was very surprised.

He finally caught several prisoners who were fearless and fearless on the battlefield. The other party cut off the line of fire and asked why they refused to surrender. Then he asked some important information.

It turned out that before the battle today in Jiyang City, there were still more than 16,000 defenders. When the city wall was broken, three or four thousand had been killed or injured. Among the remaining more than 10,000, 7,000 troops, and even local peasant soldiers, almost immediately put down their weapons and surrendered.

There are about 4,000 people who are the elite soldiers of Yuan Shujun, and officers above the age of the army are basically the basics of the Northern Army back then, and they are the direct descendants who have been with Ji Ling and Le for many years.

The key to their death-torn battle was that this unit was still in the battle of Yique Pass more than a month ago. After Le, he climbed over Taigu slope and intercepted the troops that Emperor Huai of Han, Liu Xie, retreated.

These people were fed by Yuan Shu's heavy reward and participated in the high-risk battle of regicide. Le has repeatedly popularized threats in the army, letting them know that if the world is still in the Han Dynasty in the future, none of the soldiers and officers here will survive!

The heavy reward and fear of punishment made these people desperately force the explosive power of fighting to the end, which is quite difficult.

However, the battlefield was so chaotic that Gao Shun could no longer stop the offensive in a hurry and wanted to calm down the enemy's hearts. At this time, he had to win and defeat first.

Isn’t there still four thousand bandits who are not afraid of fighting to the end! Then fight with all the expectations of killing them!

Gao Shun personally led two dissatisfied camps to fight the vanguard, and even Ganning Zhou Tai joined in. The Han army gradually oppressed from three sides in the southeast, spearing the trolleys, stabbing the horses and swords, and killed Dele, and his personal soldiers retreated step by step, and their men and horses were shattered.

The long streets of the Fukuoyamen were everywhere, with Yuan soldiers on the streets lying on the dead, and blood flowing into the canal, and thousands of dead were killed.

The killing sound of killing lasted for half an hour, and Le was left with only the last few hundred of the most deadly personal soldiers, about half of the other soldiers were killed, and the rest were either injured, captured or collapsed and surrendered. In the end, these hundreds of people were all forced to the tower of the West City Gate.

Gao Shun waved a special double-edged thick-ridged horse-slashing sword, wearing a full-body steel armor containing forged steel breastplate, lined up along the city wall to chop forward, and the soldiers next to him were also neatly chopped backward, with a rainbow of momentum.

"The regicide dog thief is killed!" Gao Shun finally came to Lejiu, and a gesture made the soldiers retreat slightly.

Le knew that he would definitely die today. Gao Shun was obviously much more soldiers than him and was willing to fight with him. Of course, he was happy to get a bargain, so he tacitly signaled the soldiers around him to get out of the way and not get in the way.

Le took out a heavy and thick ancient ingot knife and fought with Gao Shun on the city wall. Both of them were pounding and smashing, regardless of the loss of weapons. Each knife cut his wrists sore and numb, and Le still fought endlessly.

Gao Shun was not a famous general who was particularly good at his personal martial arts. In addition, Le was the last battle of the explosion. The two of them even tried more than a dozen moves but failed to win.

The weapons were more or less, and the quality of the ancient thick-backed ingot knife of Leju was worse, so it could only be used as a blunt iron rod. Gao Shun only shouted when he was just fighting, and then he was quiet and speechless throughout the whole process. Leju cried and shouted repeatedly, but he could hear that his breath gradually faded and his middle energy was insufficient.

After fighting to the death for about the twentyth move, Gao Shun finally shouted again after a long silence. He roared and slapped the horse sword at the right angle and swung it over.

Le was barely blocked, but was swung to the largest gap in the blade. A sound of tooth-acid metal fatigue breaking, Gao Shun's horse-slashing sword was also twisted and deformed, but at least he had his spare force hit Leju's helmet's neck protection.

The horse-slashing sword that lost its sharp blade could not cut off the connected iron armor piece, but it also made the neck-protecting armor piece sunken. Le's head tilted, obviously the cervical spine was completely broken, and the head was dislocated several inches away to the other side, leaving only the flesh and blood together.

"Drink!" Gao Shun pulled back the Mass Sword, and took advantage of Le's tilting to the ground, pressing the weight of his body on the hilt of the sword and stabbing it downwards, stabbing Le's on the city wall and stabbing it half a foot deep into the rammed earth.

The Han army rushed forward and killed the remaining soldiers in Le. Those who did not surrender died. Many of the remaining soldiers collapsed, surrendered on the spot, or jumped into the city to escape and fell to death. The shouts and kills in Jiyang City finally subsided.

After the battle, Gao Shun quickly wiped the blood on his face. He was not excited on the surface, but actually felt secretly happy: at least one Tinghou has obtained it!

...

After Jiyang was defeated, Li Su was of course rewarded by the county according to merit. Not to mention the matter of being a marquis, it would be necessary for Liu Bei to decide the final decision, but money and rewards can definitely be given first.

At this time, the soldiers were feasted, and gold and silk were distributed, allowing the troops to rectify for three days, and then continued to advance to Wancheng.

At the same time, Li Su also made adjustments to the goal of continuing to advance, allowing some troops to do the intention of "if Wancheng is in a hurry and difficult situation, he will set up a plan to divide some of the troops around Wancheng and penetrate the rear to try to cut off the Yuan Shu occupied area between Wancheng and Xu County."

In other words, it is pretending to cut off the retreat of Yuan Shu from Luoyang to leave Henan Yin.

On the one hand, it is possible that the enemy in Wancheng cannot control the city wholeheartedly. On the other hand, it is also an excuse to provide the Yuan Shu army in other regions, especially the Yuan Shu army in the west, to make up for leaks and block the leaks, and cooperate with Pang Tong's undercover proposal.

Coincidentally, when Jiyang City was broken, Li Su made an attitude of division of troops north on the third day of the fourth day of the fourth day, which just passed the ban on Yuan Shu's refusal to give up the territory.

On the other hand, Pang Tong had also returned to Zhang Xun and Xun Zheng, and after discussion, Zhang Xun took most of the defenders of Wuguan to move eastward along the Danshui River to Danshui, Nanxiang and other places. At the same time, Xun Zheng brought the troops from Shangluo County, Wuguan Road Mountain District to Wuguan to retreat to Wuguan. (Note: The first Danshui is the name of the river, and the latter Danshui is the name of the county)

Finally, Qiao Rui, who is still guarding the Ship Pass, will also take his main force to retreat to Shangluo first and then to Wu Pass. Of course, in order to prevent Ship Pass from being lost too early, so that the large army was chased by Liu Bei when retreating, thousands of cannon fodder must be left behind in Ship Pass.

Qiao Rui will promise to the cannon fodders: for at least seven or eight days, and wait until the main force withdraws from the five or six hundred miles long Wuguan Road, and then allow you to surrender to Liu Bei to save your life.

Qiao Rui also knew that if the troops were not allowed to surrender, then perhaps the morale of the generals would collapse and surrender once he left. It would be better to reward them and beg them to stay for seven or eight days for the sake of the old boss.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, Zhang Xun arrived in Nanxiang County, and Xun Zheng also retreated from Shangluo to Wuguan. Then Zhang Xun went east from Nanxiang and left Danshui to the south, passed north of Rangcheng, and moved closer to Wancheng. Xun Zheng began to move from Wuguan to Nanxiang.

At this time, he had already received news that Li Sujun had launched a siege south of Wancheng and was preparing to attack. Moreover, Emperor Yuan Shu seemed to have left Luoyang and moved to the southeast.

On the ninth day of the fourth month, even most of Xun Zheng's troops changed the pace of withdrawal required by the previous transfer order, accelerated the progress, and left Nanxiang and advanced eastward.

As a result, the defense in the direction of Wuguan became unprecedentedly weak. There were no generals who were famous in history books, and only a few thousand troops were left. There was also a lack of defense along the way, and many troops retreated eastward and ran away.

Of course, they didn't think there was any problem at that time, because Qiao Rui had already retreated to Shangluo and took a batch of the remaining Danshui boats in Shangluo. Some of them walked and climbed the mountain and took some boats down the river, and they could retreat to Wuguan in a few days. As long as Qiao Rui himself rushed back, there would certainly be no problem with Wuguan.

Unfortunately, Pang Tong knew the rhythm of Yuan Shu's withdrawal. After Xun Zheng withdrew from Wu Pass, he used the excuse to inform Qiao Rui, but in short, he designed to escape.

After escaping, Pang Tong, a small boat and a fast boat went down the Danshui River, and asked the boatman to row the oars wildly, give the boatman a reward, and quickly arrived at a Han army camp that had been hidden and lurking for many days near Wudang Mountain.

Xu Shu knew Pang Tong and immediately took him to Zhang Fei: "General Zhang should do it quickly! The opportunity should not be missed. Zhang Xun and Xun Zheng ran away in advance. Qiao Rui was still in Shangluo. Hurry up and attacked. You can easily take advantage of their handover and let the main army of King Hanzhong enter the Wuguan Road!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Shu. Xu Shu quickly explained, confirmed that he had guaranteed Pang Tong's identity, and also helped Pang Tong explain a few words to tell Zhang Fei not to mind Pang Tong's etiquette issue, and to follow the power of things urgently.

Zhang Fei then jumped up from the tiger-skinned horses: "Grandma, I have been hiding in this Wudang Mountain camp these days, and the birds have faded out every day! Finally, it's our turn to send troops. Ziyi, hurry up and pack up all the troops. We will kill to Nanxiang County today and will arrive at Wuguan tomorrow! The march day and night is not allowed to stop!"

With Zhang Fei's order, the 20,000 Hanzhong soldiers who had been lurking and entrenched in Wudang County, Shangyong Prefecture for many days immediately entered the state like wolves and tigers.

They originally planned to attack a month ago, and went straight to Xiangyang and Xinye along the Han River to protect the Han River grain road to provide Li Su with logistics and military rations. It was only because of a temporary change that Li Su played diplomatic cards and forced Liu Biao over. Liu Biao took out the Xinye treasury and some other warehouses to provide Li Su with military rations, which made Zhang Fei idle for so long.

Taishi Ci, who was responsible for transporting troops on the water route under Zhang Fei, was full of energy and rushed down the river to the mouth of the Danshui River in an hour, and then went up the Danshui River against the current, and rushed towards Wuguan through Nanxiang.
