Chapter 601 Yuan Clan Destroys the Southern Alliance
No matter what Yuan Shu's mentality was, no matter what Cao Cao and Xun Yu had said about Yuan Shu and the Yuan family's prospects. Yuan Shu returned to Shouchun to fight with Cao Cao, and news of the battle between Liu Bei and Liu Bei soon spread throughout the world.
In Yecheng, Hebei Province, Ying Zige was sitting in the middle hall, quietly listening to the information coming from the Black Ice Platform below.
"In the battle of Feishui, Cao Cao led his army to fight head-on. In the middle of the battle, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei led their cavalry to attack from the right front. Zhang Yide's formation killed Yuan General, causing the Yuan Army's right front to collapse. Then the two cooperated with Xiahou Dun, Cao Chun and other Cao Generals in one fell swoop.
Yuan's army was defeated and the entire Feishui battlefield was defeated. Since Yuan Shu retreated with gold, at least tens of thousands of elites died in the process of breaking through and retreating. For more than ten miles up and down Feishui, corpses were everywhere, and the whole land was dyed red with blood."
The information on Black Ice Platform was as detailed as if he had actually experienced the war, but Ying Zige was not surprised at all. If Black Ice Platform, which has been developing for nearly a thousand years, could not achieve this with the full support and training after he took over,
Then it's time for them to do a big purge.
Waving his hand, Ying Zige slowly turned his calm eyes to look at the personal guards: "That's all?!"
The personal guard naturally knew what his lord was asking, and continued: "The shadow leader believes that if Yan Xiang in Shouchun City had not responded in time, on the one hand, he would send troops from inside the city to attack Cao Jun's troops stationed outside the city, and on the other hand, he would
They directly released their backup forces and sent out the Yuan family's navy that had been stationed at the intersection of the Huai and Fei rivers to support Yuan Shu. In addition, Cao Cao and Liu Bei each had their own plans in mind, in order to avoid excessive losses.
, let me, Da Qin, reap the benefits of being a fisherman, and there is no possibility of Yuan Shu returning to Shouchun after the battle with Feishui."
"But even so, Yuan Shu, who is trapped in Shouchun at this time, actually has few options left. There are only two outcomes: defend or lose. If he defends, Cao Cao will continue to fight and expedition. Considering that we cannot continue to delay, at most
In another month, he will definitely choose to return to Yanzhou. However, Liu Bei has settled Xuzhou and Qingzhou is still in a state of chaos, so it is impossible for him to fight to the death in Shouchun. In this way, as long as Yuan Shu can endure it for more than a month and wait for both sides to retreat, he can take advantage of it.
Jiang Xia's power reconnected the forces under his command, took a breath, and waited for the vitality after the change. Of course, if he could not hold on, everything would naturally come to a halt.
"But according to Hei Bingtai's further observation and investigation, despite the calculations of Cao Cao and his top advisers, as well as the terrifying combat power of the top generals under Liu Cao's coalition forces, Yuan Jun's defense of the city continued to suffer increasing losses.
However, due to Yan Xiang's ability to react in the face of battle, the Yuan family's naval forces were able to join more than 30,000 Yuan troops who were able to return to Shouchun, and Shouchun City itself is a rare strong and important city. Therefore, our prediction is:
, If Yan Xiang can always control the power of city defense, and Cao and Liu are not willing to suffer heavy losses in their own troops or continue to increase their troops, Yuan's army and the grain and grass reserves in Shouchun City will be enough to defend Shouchun for at least half a year!"
"Can't keep it!"
After the guard finished speaking, he bowed silently and waited quietly for Ying Zige's reaction. Ju Shuo, who was also listening quietly, shook his head slightly and said. As a newly surrendered minister, Ying Zige and Meng Yi visited Hebei not long after,
So he ordered him to be recruited to Yecheng. On the surface, he was using his reputation in Jizhou to help Wang Jian and Yan Pu to stabilize and develop Jizhou together. In fact, he was trying to appease and win over him and at the same time examine his abilities.
Ying Zige closed his eyes thoughtfully, and after silently sketching the current situation in his mind, he asked: "What do you mean, sir?!"
"Your Majesty!" Ju Shou came out, "Yuan Shu's mentality has collapsed. Shouchun is now being carried by Yan Xiang rather than Yuan Jun, but his status and ability determine that he cannot carry it.
, once the aristocratic families in the city launch an attack, the result is self-evident. Moreover, it will soon be June, and the humidity in Huainan is thick. June has always been the season of plum rain. Due to the location of Shouchun City, and the current Yan Xiang's
If we use the strategy of defending the Huai River, it is possible that the Huai River will be used by Cao Cao and others. Once the strategy of breaking the dike is used, Shouchun and outside will be flooded, and Yuan Shu will be the turtle in the urn!"
"Break the embankment!" Ying Zige nodded silently, "With Cao Cao's temperament, if he cannot attack for a long time, he may not use this strategy. It will be a pity for the people of Huainan!"
Closing his eyes and meditating, Ying Zige's belief in unifying China as soon as possible could not help but become stronger. Then he lowered his head and looked at Ju Shou and asked: "Does Gong Yu think that the Yuan family... Yuan Shu is going to be destroyed?!"
Jushou shook his head, "It's not about destroying! I think Shouchun City may be destroyed at this time, and the information about the Yuan family's family destruction is already on its way to Yecheng!"
"Huh?" Ying Zige turned to look at the bodyguard on one side.
"This..." The spy was slightly startled, and then responded: "We have not received any corresponding information yet!"
"Then just wait a little longer!" Ying Zige pondered slightly, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, constantly sketching out the current situation in the world in his mind, combined with Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Baili Xi, Meng Yi, Fazheng, Jushou, etc.
People communicated one after another, constantly planning, laying out, and calculating the best time.
At the same time, it did not go beyond Jushou's expectations, just when Ying Zige was listening to the information from Black Ice Platform.
Here in Xiangyang, Liu Biao has faced an unprecedented difficult moment since he rode down to Jingzhou alone. Lu Bu, who has been entrenched in Nanyang since the Battle of Puyang, took advantage of the opportunity when Liu Biao's army was greatly reduced and decisively sent troops, tens of thousands of elite troops attacked directly.
Nanjun, with great momentum along the way, soon advanced to the Dangyang front line. Liu Biao was so frightened that he hurriedly recalled Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, who were stationed in Jingling and Jiangling, and Wenpin, who was stationed in Xiling, Anlu, back to Nanjun.
He led an army of 30,000 men cobbled together by his subordinates to stop Lu Bu's offensive in Dangyang.
In this battle, if Huang Zhong's performance was not strong enough, using his long sword and sharp arrows to withstand Lu Bu's unparalleled fighting power, allowing Wenpin and Liu Pan to expand their formation and entangle Nanyang's soldiers and horses, then Xiangyang would have been
Lu Bu's troops came to the city and destroyed it with one blow.
Of course, Lu Bu's disruptive state had been planned and prepared by all parties for a long time. Cao Cao and Liu Bei naturally could not allow him to act randomly. The two people who quickly reacted immediately sent envoys to contact Lu Bu, and Liu Biao made statements to both parties.
On the premise of being polite first and then fighting, and giving up enough Huainan interests, the war between the two sides was calmed down, and Lu Bu was also drawn into the alliance.
Lu Bu was naturally reluctant at first, but on the one hand, Huang Zhong had a strong literary talent, on the other hand, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were not easy to mess with, and on the other hand, the threat of Ying Zige was indeed something that all the princes could not ignore. Therefore, under Chen Gong's persuasion
, naturally walked down the slope and responded. For a while, except for Liu Biao silently licking his wounds and only sending Huang Zhong to participate in the battle, intending to take back the entire Jiangxia territory under the covenant after the war, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei joined forces, and soon
Then he defeated Shouchun and wiped out the last strength of the Yuan family.
As for the distribution of interests after the war, when Sun Ce suddenly intervened, in order to resist Ying Qin, Xun Yu took the initiative to persuade Cao Cao to launch an alliance in Shouchun, using Huainan Jiangxia and other Yuan Shu territories as a link of interests, and he just pulled the entire south into it.
