A large table of good wine and delicious food was arranged in the room. Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu, whose face was a little swollen, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you have suffered a lot along the way, Yuan Jiujiu!"
While Yuan Shu was devouring his food, he said vaguely: "Yes, it's really bad to eat dry food every day!"
He grabbed the jug and poured it directly into his mouth, "Gulu gulu". After drinking a jug of fine wine, Yuan Gongli came to life again. He patted the table and said: "On the way to Hebei, I didn't even drink honey water."
, almost made me thirsty to death!"
Yuan Shao couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing this. He didn't expect that Yuan Shu would turn out like this. Just as he was about to speak, shouts and the sound of weapons clashing suddenly came from outside. Yuan Shao's expression changed slightly and he turned his head to look behind him.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou felt relieved again.
Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why does it seem like there are people fighting outside?"
Yuan Shao smiled and said: "Then you must have heard wrong. This is Hebei, who dares to act so arrogantly?"
Yuan Shu stood up and said with certainty: "Yes, someone is fighting."
With that said, he opened the door and walked out. Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao shook his head, stood up, and walked out together. There were many soldiers standing under the eaves in the backyard.
All of them were neatly dressed and carried weapons such as ring-headed knives, large shields, and crossbows.
One man, covered in blood, knocked aside the soldiers guarding the hospital door and rushed in. When he saw Yuan Shu, the man shouted: "My lord, leave quickly, Yuan Shao wants to kill you!"
When Yuan Shu saw the man, he exclaimed: "General Ji Ling!"
The person who came was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a broad body. Who else could he be if he wasn't Ji Ling? He had multiple injuries all over his body, and there was a crossbow bolt stuck in his back, making him look even more vicious. Ji Ling shouted again: "
Lord, leave quickly!"
Yuan Shu swallowed, turned to look at Yuan Shao beside him, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he screamed, "Yuan Benchu, are you going to kill me?"
Yuan Shao stopped pretending now and sneered: "It's not that I want to kill you, but everyone in the world wants to kill you!"
Yuan Shu shouted frantically: "We are the descendants of the Yuan family in Runan, you can't kill me!"
In the courtyard, Ji Ling swung his ring-headed sword, cut off a spear that was stabbing him, and ran forward two steps. The bow string on the side vibrated, and more than a dozen arrows and crossbow bolts flew over and pierced his body.
, but could not stop him from moving forward. Seeing that Ji Ling had already run for more than ten steps and was about to reach the eaves of the corridor, Yan Liang pulled out the horizontal sword he was wearing and jumped down.
Yan Liang is also a strong man eight feet tall. The weapons in his hands were bought at high prices from Guanzhong. The current general Chen Cheng is a money man and sells everything, let alone horizontal knives. As long as he has money, even steel armor.
The same goes for takeout. But now Chang'an only recognizes silver and copper coins issued by Xiliang people. It is said that Chang'an Bank also issued gold coins, but few people have seen them.
"Everyone get out of the way!"
Yan Liang shouted loudly and walked up with a horizontal sword. Ji Ling was covered in blood, not only from his own blood, but also from his enemies. Every time he took a step, there were bright red footprints under his feet. The soldiers beside him even
I wondered if this man would fall to the ground and die the next moment after bleeding so much.
Seeing Yan Liang approaching, Ji Linghu roared and rushed forward with his sword. Yan Liang also raised his sword and slashed at him.
The light of the sword flashed like a sword, and the two men each ran forward a few steps. After Yan Liang stopped, he kept the posture of swinging the sword forward. He looked at the iron armor under his ribs that had been cut open by the blade.
He said regretfully: "My martial arts skills are good, what a pity!"
Behind him, there was a "pop" sound, and Ji Ling's body fell weakly in the dust.
When Yuan Shu saw Ji Ling's death, he became even more panicked. He knelt down with a pop and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Benchu, you can't kill me! I'll give you whatever you want."
Here you go! I’ll write to those people in Runan right now and teach them to worship you as their Lord, okay?”
Wen Chou looked at Yuan Shu with disdain and whispered: "It's really not worth it for Ji Ling!"
Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Shu with pity and said, "Highway, be more decent!"
He pulled out his sword and threw it in front of Yuan Shu, saying: "For the sake of our surname Yuan, you can finish it yourself!"
"ah?"
Yuan Shu stretched out his hand tremblingly, and as soon as his fingers touched the handle of the knife, he quickly retracted it as if he had touched a red-hot iron block. He knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
After crying for a while, Yuan Shu knelt forward and tried to hug Yuan Shao's thigh, but Wen Chou kicked him out.
"I don't want to die, wuwuwu... Yuan Shao, please spare my life?"
Yuan Benchu looked at the slug-like Yuan Shu with some boredom, and said to Yan Liang: "Go and help him!"
Yan Liang said "Hey", stepped forward and trampled Yuan Shu under his feet, and wrapped the horizontal knife around his neck. The leader of Liuyang rolled from the floor to the courtyard with a "gurgling" sound. Yuan Shu's head turned several times on the ground.
It was stained with a lot of dust, and finally stopped in front of Ji Ling, whose eyes widened in anger.
Yuan Shao said unhappily: "I asked you to help him, why did you cut off his head? No matter how unbearable Yuan Gongli is, he is also a member of my Yuan family, how can you do this to him?"
He looked around and said: "Come here, find a good coffin and restrain Yuan Shu!"
As soon as Liu Bei led his troops to the border of Hebei, he heard about Yuan Shu's death. After questioning Yuan Shao's envoys to Chang'an in detail, Liu Bei could only lead his troops back to Hongnong.
As a result, Yuan Shu's power, which once shocked the world and made all princes fearful, was destroyed. But this was just the beginning, and it was far from the end, not even the midfield. As the autumn harvest ended
, a new round of war has begun in the world.
The flames of war burned from the middle of Shu to the coast of the East China Sea, and tens of millions of people were involved. Countless money, food, and lives were involved and turned into ashes, but nothing was left.
In the autumn of the first year of Xingping, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, died of illness. The first person to promote the "establishment of state pastoralism" finally died of old age on his sick bed after many years of peace in Shu. He was still alive.
At that time, Zhang Lu, who relied on his superb skills to subdue the powerful people and scholars in Yizhou internally and support the Five Pecks of Rice Cult externally, could be said to be able to turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.
But when Liu Yan died, all his original plans came to nothing. Liu Zhang, who succeeded to the throne, did not have the wisdom and skill of his father. As soon as he seized the power, he started to attack Zhang Lu who was entrenched in Hanzhong and Dongchuan.
Destroy the Five Dou Rice Sect and swallow up Dongchuan and Hanzhong.
As a result, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang continued to fight each other. The Hanzhong army was not strong in combat power, but its morale was high. The Liu Zhang army's combat power was average, but its morale was pretty good. The two sides were noobs, and they fought back and forth. But even
No matter how rookie he is, he is still a powerful force capable of mobilizing 100,000 people.
According to Zhang Hengtong of Wudu County, Zhang Lu was initially ready to make a move after the fight with Liu Zhang, but when he heard that the Five Pecks of Rice Thieves were armed with so many soldiers, he immediately retreated. Are you kidding? He is only six years old now.
An army of thousands of black armors can stand up to the sky and be able to deal with 30,000 people.
In a war between princes like Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, it would be better for him to interfere less.
At the same time, Yangzhou Mu Liu Yao's power increased greatly after annexing part of Yuzhou. He left his general Tai Shici to guard the north to resist Cao Cao, and then he took his troops and went to fight the local tyrants in Jiangdong.
But there is a saying that Liu Yao's fighting skills were a bit fashionable, and I don't know if it was because of the heavy humidity in the south.
The Yangzhou Army and Yan Baihu and his ilk were also noobs, and they fought back and forth. The terrain in the south was divided by mountains and rivers, and there were broken terrain everywhere. Therefore, it was rarely like the north, where there were hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands at every turn.
A large-scale battle involving 100,000 people. The battles in the south were mainly small-scale battles.
It is said to be a small scale, but there are always 20,000 to 30,000 people fighting together. Due to the terrain, cavalry cannot be said to be useless in the south, but compared to the north of the Huaihe River, the role of cavalry is greatly weakened.
.When fighting in Jiangdong, more reliance was placed on boats to transport grain and soldiers.
In Hebei, after Gongsun Zan had some food and grass in his hands, he launched another attack on Yuan Shao. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gongsun Bogui's attack momentum was getting weaker and weaker. Of course, Baima Yicong was a first-class strong soldier.
, after the installation of new cavalry equipment, the impact became stronger. However, Gongsun Zan was not good at handling internal affairs and did not have enough supplies to maintain the powerful army under his command.
After fighting Yuan Shao for two years, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops gathered by Gongsun Zan were exhausted and a lot of them were lost. The army in his hands became weaker and weaker. On the contrary, Yuan Shao's strength
But they continue to become stronger in the battle. Now, Yuan Shao from Hebei has surpassed Gongsun Zan in strength. Even in a field battle, Jizhou's armored cavalry can compete with Youzhou's sudden cavalry.
.
However, Yuan Shao had just overtaken him in strength, and he had more than enough defense but not enough offense. Gongsun Zan came over and robbed food and people everywhere, which also made Yuan Shao's head so big that he had to send troops and generals to fight the fire everywhere. Zhang Yan, who was trapped in the Taihang Mountains, was not willing to be alone.
, echoing Gongsun Zan from the west, and repeatedly sent troops to invade Hebei, causing Yuan Shao a lot of trouble.
Even last year, they once invaded Yecheng. If Tao Sheng, the leader of Zhang Yan's command, had not surrendered to Yuan Shao, Zhang Yan would be fighting for Hebei with Gongsun Zan now. After that, Yuan Shao sent troops to invade the territory of the Black Mountain Army and break through
There was a massacre behind the barrier, killing fifty or sixty thousand people.
Although the battle in Hebei was fought back and forth, it could not be regarded as a fight between rookies. Whether it was Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, or even Zhang Yan, they could pull out more than 100,000 troops and fight an overwhelming battle.
It shook the mountains and rivers. But no matter how fierce they fought, they were still in a tug of war. They fought back and forth, consumed a lot of money and food, and lost many soldiers, but the battle line did not change much.
When everyone around him was fighting bad battles, Cao Cao's performance was like a miracle.
