Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 291: Nanyang War

It is no one else who stands up. It is the famous celebrity Kuai Yue of Jingzhou, who Cao Cao called "I don't like Jingzhou, I am happy with different ears". The Kuai clan is a famous clan in Jingzhou with Cai and Huang. The most outstanding people in the clan are Kuailiang and Kuaiyue. Kuailiang is a deep and reticent person, and currently lives in Jingzhou, while Kuaiyue has a conspiracy and can speak well.

Kuai Yue talked eloquently: "The Han Dynasty belongs to the Liu family. He went out of town Jingzhou to be the chief official of the frontiers, and he should have been called Zhou Mu. Now that he is granted by the emperor, why not do it?"

Liu Biao said with some worries: "Dong Thief controls the government. If he accepts Dong Thief's court appointment, how will the world think about someone?"

"The father doesn't need to panic." Kuailiang said suddenly, who had not spoken.

Liu Biao smiled and said, "Oh? How can Zi Rou teach me?"

Kuailiang arched his hands and said: "If today, the two emperors of Hongnong and Chen Liu stand side by side, and the two days are in the sky, the princes of the world don't know what orthodoxy is. They don't know whether to blame Liu Ye or Dong Zhuo, and how could they involve the public? ?"

Liu Biao nodded: "That's true."

Kuai Yue said loudly: "Since the lord is willing to accept the appointment of Jingzhou Mu, the key thing now is to regain the entire territory of Jingzhou. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has attracted a large number of refugees and scholars into Jingzhou. If you make good use of it, it can be the foundation of the king. ."

Liu Biao nodded: "Okay, in that case, give me an order to order Huang Zu to be the captain of Dangkou, leave Zhenjiang Xia, and Cai Tao as the prefect of Nanyang County, waiting for the opportunity to attack Nanyang County."

Nanyang County, Wancheng.

"General Xu! I really want to surrender the **** city to the enemy? How can this be done!"

Zhang Xiu's face was full of anger, and he obviously couldn't understand Dong Zhuo's military order.

Xu Rong had no choice but to explain: "Xiaowei Zhang, this is the order of the prime minister and the military division to surrender Nanyang, so that Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong and Yuan Shu of Yingchuan are competing for the top."

"What about our army?" Xiaowei Wang Fang asked puzzled.

"Our army withdrew from Nanyang and retreated to Wuguan. Liu Ye drove the Liangzhou soldiers to attack Tongguan. The prime minister ordered our army to return to the army to prevent Liu Ye from attacking Luoyang." Xu Rong said slowly.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, a trace of humiliation flashed in his eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Okay! It's best for our army to fight a tough battle with Liu Ye, and let him retreat when he sees difficulties!"

In the Battle of Chang'an, Zhang Xiu, known as the King of the Spears of the North, was slammed by Liu Ye with three shots, which became a shame that Zhang Xiu remembered almost all his life.

Seeing that the generals had no objections, Xu Rong immediately said in a solemn voice: "The whole army listens to the order! Withdraw from Nanyang and retreat to Wuguan, and each will immediately execute the military order."

Zhang Xiu and others clasped their fists together: "Here!"

Xu Rong was originally just an inconspicuous lieutenant in Dong Zhuo's army. Although Li Ru, a military strategist, fully recommended it, some people in Dong Zhuo's army were naturally dissatisfied.

However, Xu Rong successfully proved his genius-like military talent through the two battles before and after Nanyang. He defeated the Nanyang Army and Changsha Army with a total of 60,000 and established his unshakable majesty.

Therefore, Xu Rongjun's order had just been issued, and the generals immediately accepted it respectfully, and then proceeded to prepare.

On that day, the Liangzhou army with a total of 30,000 people withdrew from Nanyang County and slowly retreated in the direction of Wuguan.

The closest to Nanyang was the coalition of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian who were entrenched in Yingchuan County to recuperate. After hearing the news of Xu Rong's withdrawal, the two of them couldn't believe it.

But after all, Sun Jian is a daring master of art, so he suggested that Yuan Shu send some soldiers and horses to investigate whether Xu Rong really retreated or was using some conspiracy.

Sun Jian sent General Huang Gai to go there in person. After the scouts arrived in Wancheng, they found that the gates were open on all sides of Wancheng. They turned around and didn't dare to go in and informed Huang Gai.

Huang Gai ordered his scouts to disguise themselves as ordinary people and easily enter the city without encountering any obstacles. Huang Gai asked the residents in the city why Xu Rong withdrew his troops inexplicably.

"Who knows? These Liangzhou soldiers didn't know what was going on, so they left inexplicably."

Huang Gai didn't dare to be careless. While Qingqi flew to Yingchuan, he sent people to Wuguan to investigate, and finally determined: Xu Rong did indeed withdraw his troops, leading his 30,000 troops from Wancheng to Wuguan all the way.

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard about it. He immediately used Sun Jian as the vanguard and sent 20,000 troops to drive Nanyang directly (about 10,000 of them were the Nanyang Army and Changsha soldiers who were defeated by Xu Rong, and the rest were forced to pull in Yingchuan. Income from a strong man).

Sure enough, the army drove straight in, easily regaining Wancheng, and at this time Yuan Shu also got the reason for Xu Rong's withdrawal.

Wancheng, Chamber.

"Lord, great joy!"

The main book, Yan Xiang, walked into the hall with a smile on his face, and was immediately happy to Yuan Shu.

Seeing Yan Xiang's smile on his face, Yuan Shu couldn't help but curiously said: "The Lord's Book, what good news is there?"

Yan Xiang smiled and said, "Isn't the lord curious why Xu Rong withdrew?"

Yuan Shu nodded. He still has lingering fears about the battle of Wancheng. Xu Rong's use of soldiers is really unique and easily destroyed the 50,000 Nanyang army. If Sun Jian came to the rescue in time, it is estimated that Yuan Shu would be Xu Rong's prisoner.

"Why did Xu Rong withdraw? Is it possible that Dong Zhuo had another explanation?"

Yan Xiang smiled and said: "It was General Liu Ye Ming, who built the plank road in the west of Chencang. He played the banner in Hexi County, but actually appeared in Tongguan himself. Liangzhou soldiers fought back and forth and took down Tongguan in one go. The soldiers pointed directly at Wuguan and Wuguan. Hangu Pass, so the old thief Dong Zhuo recalled Xu Rong."

Yuan Shu clapped his hands and laughed: "Well, Xu Rong and Liu Ye are in the same situation. If the two are in a battle, I'm afraid that both lose and lose. Wouldn't our army benefit from it?"

Yan Xiang's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said in his heart: General Zhengxi led the king to conquer Dong thief. You should be happy, lord, how can you lose both?

Yan Xiang originally wanted to say something, suggesting that Yuan Shu send troops to Wuyang, threaten Tongguan, and attack Liu Ye back and forth to attack Luoyang together to rescue the emperor. Hearing Yuan Shu speaking like this, he didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Ji Ling's heavy footsteps rang and walked into the hall.

Yuan Shu saw Ji Ling's sullen face, and immediately wondered: "Ji Ling, what's the matter?"

Ji Lingning said: "Lord, just got the intelligence from the army, Jingzhou Liu Biao, led by the school Wei Cai Tao, sent 12,000 troops from Deng County, and the soldiers were directed at Xinye, and they will soon enter Wancheng."

Nanyang County was the northern barrier of Jingzhou. Later Zhang Xiu who occupied Wancheng surrendered to Cao Cao. Jingzhou lost this barrier. Liu Biao chose Xinye as the second barrier. Therefore Xinye is located between Xiangyang and Wancheng, which is also Nanyang. The only way between the county and the southern county.

Yuan Shu was furious upon hearing this: "Liu Biaozhuo, An dare to deceive me!"
