Chapter 150: Conquering the Lujiang River
Guo Si saw through Li Jue's motives, so he sat down to see Fan Chou defeated, and then led the troops from the headquarters back to Wu Pass to defend, intending to trap Li Jue's troops outside the pass, and sat down to see that they were annihilated by Lu Bu, and then occupied Guanzhong.
After this situation was formed.
Li Jue also secretly asked Jia Xu for advice, pretending to be ignorant, and led his troops to fight to the death with Lu Bu, and avenge the dead Xiliang Erlang in order to be confused.
But at the critical moment, Li Jue took advantage of the dark night and suddenly came to the city of Wuguan and launched a large-scale attack, which caught Guo Si off guard.
The next morning, he arranged for all the soldiers of the army to gather outside the pass and began to criticize Guo Si.
All the news that Guo Si refused to save him and retreated without authorization, which led to the end of the entire annihilation of Fan Chou's troops by Lu Bu's army was exposed.
Even though Guo Si tried his best to defend himself, the effect was minimal.
What is the solution? After all, what Li Jue said is true, and the soldiers gradually began to look at each other with a hint of cold eyes.
Lu Bu, who was in a great victory, was also very energetic at this moment. When he heard about the internal division of the Xiliang army, he felt deeply that he would defeat the enemy, recover Wuguan, and even have the opportunity to come to Guanzhong...
With this in mind, Lu Bu started to rectify his military equipment, intending to take advantage of the victory and defeat the main force of the Western Liang army in one fell swoop.
But in the end, I didn't get what I wanted!
Just when Lu Bu was preparing to launch a large army to launch Wuguan, the rear reported that Liu Biaoyi, who was entrenched in Jingxiang, ordered Huang Zu as the main general and Kuai Yue as the army to command 20,000 infantry troops to go straight north along Fancheng, threatening Xinye, Huyang and other places south of Nanyang. The troops were directly aimed at the hinterland of Anzhong, Jingyang and other Nanyang.
Not only that, Liu Biao also ordered Cai Mao to command 30,000 Jingxiang Navy to advance along the Han River, thinking that he would be the support of Huang Zu's troops.
For a moment, Liu Biao also paid a lot of money to recover Nanyang County.
Tens of thousands of troops marched north and the momentum was extremely huge.
Under the power of Liu Biao's army, Lu Bu was worried about the mistakes in the rear and had to temporarily extinguish his intention to kill. In addition to ordering Zhang Liao to station in Shunyang to defend the western defense line, he mobilized the main troops to gradually move south to fight against Liu Biao's army.
Without the attack of Lu Bu's army, Li Jue could even surround Wu Pass and threaten the city without restraint.
He persuaded the soldiers under Guo Si to surrender with both kindness and power.
A few days later.
As the incident fermented, rebellions began to rise in Wuguan City every now and then, and some generals and officials and their headquarters tried to break through the door and welcome Li Jue's army into the interior.
Even in the end, the rebellion was extinguished by the trusted officials under Guo Si in a timely manner.
But the continuous response of soldiers to Li Jue outside the city also made Guo Si frightened.
At this moment, he seemed to be unable to sleep even harder.
Feared, Guo Si had to flee overnight with his confidant army and rushed to Chang'an!
As he escaped from the pass, the other generals and officials in the pass made a decision and naturally opened the city openly and surrendered to Li Jue's command.
At this point, the situation where the Xiliang Army checked and balanced with Li, Guo and Fan, with the three forces of Li, Guo Si's power was lost to most and no longer existed.
After Li Jue gathered most of the military forces between the two sides, he now completely dominated Guanzhong and had a great power.
After entering the pass.
From the scout's inquiry, Li Jue received the situation where Guo Si was leading his confidants to Chang'an for days and nights, trying to enter Beijing to control the emperor and the court to reconfront Li Jue.
After hearing this battle report, Li Jue, who was about to send troops to work with Liu Biao, was shocked, so he had to follow Jia Xu's advice and temporarily extinguish the plan to attack Nanyang to destroy Lu.
Then guard the passes and eliminate internal forces and make plans.
After a few words.
Li Jue began to rush into Chang'an with his troops, competing with Guo Si for the right to belong to the emperor and his subordinates to Guanzhong.
...
Until today.
In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (194), in December of winter.
It has been more than several months since Yuan Yaoping attacked the Yellow Turbans of Runan and wiped out the Zheng family's forces.
After several months of condensation, the combat power of his main troops has also increased significantly.
Not only that, the military strength of the main units has also expanded from the initial 20,000 to more than 30,000.
During this period, the infantry army was more than 28,000 and the Knight army was two thousand.
The army was resting for several months and had been replenishing its energy for too long.
At this moment, Yuan Yao's silent thoughts became active again.
He wanted to start preparing for war. When the snow was mixed in spring, he once again led the main force to fight south, pointing his troops to Lujiang County in an attempt to recover the counties in Jiangbei.
Since there has been a decision, Yuan Yao is also a decisive person and has not hesitated at all. He immediately asked his father Yuan Shu for battle and resigned.
Afterwards, he led his generals and Sun Ce to march south to Liyang to take charge, gathering troops to wait for the attack.
...
After arriving in Liyang, Yuan Yao immediately summoned all the civil and military generals under his command to gather together to discuss the military affairs of the southern expedition to Lujiang.
Houses.
As the main general, Yuan Yao was also of noble status and deserved to be ranked above the main position. On both sides of the hall were civil and military generals standing together.
Among them, Wen had staff members Jiang Gan and Liu Ye.
Wu included Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Xu Chu, Lu Meng, Deng Dang and other generals.
The army under his command is extremely strong.
This is the power accumulated by Yuan Yao for several months since entering the Yangtze and Huai areas.
This time, he would bring his generals and tens of thousands of elite main legions to the south to conquer Lujiang, striving to defeat and establish a victory.
Looking around for a while, Yuan Yao's eyes seemed to emit a dazzling light, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, our army will strive to conquer Lujiang in the south and strive to defeat the enemy in one battle. However, compared with Jiujiang, the enemy situation is more complex, and all forces in the territory will gather everywhere and fight together."
"It may not be easy for our army to easily combat all parties!"
After the words came, Yuan Yao looked at everyone with a slight eye and said softly:
"But I wonder if you have any targeted suggestions on the combat plan of the southern battle to Lujiang. Please give me some advice?"
For a time, he began to solicit everyone's plans in a targeted manner.
After the words are finished.
Because Jiang Qin often lives in the Jianghuai area, he also has a very rich understanding of the terrain of Lujiang County. After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but bow:
"Your Majesty, with Qin's familiarity with Lujiang, he finally thought that our army would first seize Lu'an, Shuxian and other places during this southern expedition."
"These two cities are the central cities in the northern part of Lujiang. The most important thing is to be connected to Liyang and even Jiujiang County. As long as our army can unexpectedly capture these two cities."
"Then our army will firmly grasp the initiative in the war, and can both attack and rely on Liyang as a supporter to defend and deal with all forces."
