Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 833 Between Allies 1
Yuan Shu was already desperate. Although he chose to retreat to Huainan, this only delayed his defeat. Yuzhou was quickly captured by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and there were still many people in other places resisting. But both sides of the fierce battle showed fatigue, and everyone wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

After Yuan Shu's letters asking for help were returned many times by Sun Ce, he realized that he was already helpless. The yellow-haired kid who used to be attached to him and relied on him to dare to go back to Jiangdong now doesn't want to talk to him for a very good reason. Simple, because he proclaimed himself emperor, because he forcibly occupied the jade seal of the Sun family.

After entering Huainan, Yuan Shu had to be busy with a lot of things. Liu Bei was about to occupy Ruyin, and Ji Ling hadn't withdrawn yet. Although he still had 20 troops, the soldiers were not elite and their morale was low. Under the circumstances, Yuan Shu even wanted to choose to negotiate a peace.

But Cao Cao and Liu Bei's swift offensives told him a truth. These people would never let him go. In order to ensure the safety of Huainan, Ji Ling deployed a large number of soldiers and horses on the only way to Huainan. It is still under his control. Shouchun has not been captured yet. He is waiting now, and will temporarily go into hibernation when the soldiers and horses from various places return.

In the middle of Yuzhou, Ji Ling's 10,000+ army is now immobilized by Cao Cao. He has received Yuan Shu's order to retreat, but Cao Cao is keeping a close eye on him. Although it is only a small group of soldiers, it is really suitable to stop them from retreating.

"General, the enemy is here to challenge again." Ji Ling is also very busy now. He didn't expect Cao Cao's speed to be so fast. In order to ensure that he can retreat successfully, Ji Ling began to prepare to divide his troops, but Cao Cao Anxious.

"Our army is in a critical situation. My lord has sent people to support our army's retreat." Ji Ling looked at his subordinates and said, "As long as we successfully retreat to Shouchun, Cao Cao will not dare to pursue rashly. However, our army has too many people for many years." If you retreat in a hurry, you will definitely be ambushed by Cao Jun, so I decided to leave 3 troops behind to buy time for the army to retreat."

Hearing this, these generals became a little worried. It is not a good job to stay behind. It is necessary to ensure the safety of the army and at the same time to ensure that it can withstand the attack of Cao Jun. In the end, it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out. .

"You have all followed me for many years, and you are all my good brothers and subordinates. I don't want to embarrass you." Ji Ling continued: "My lord has shown us the kindness of knowing you, we can't abandon you when you are most in danger, brothers , All of this is God's will, let God decide everything today.

I have already made a lottery, everyone takes turns to draw one, whether to stay or go, let God decide, no matter what, we are all good brothers who live and die together, at worst we will be brothers again in the next life. "

At this moment, Ji Ling called Yuan Shu the lord, in order to let everyone appreciate Yuan Shu's kindness, and then use brotherhood to win over everyone, because he understands that staying may mean death, and everyone wants to live, but someone must stay. Come down.

Everyone drew their lotteries in order and checked them immediately. Naturally, some people were happy and some were worried. Ji Ling walked up to a subordinate and sighed, "Li Feng, you have been fighting with me for many years. This time, the comfort of the army will be given to you." is you."

The general named Li Feng got the remaining task, and the others all looked at him with respect. No matter what, the remaining people are worthy of respect.

"Little general, take orders." Without arguing or worrying, Li Feng can be regarded as a professional soldier. Although he was in a daze when he learned that he would be left behind, he soon recovered.

"Okay, all the soldiers, go back and prepare immediately." Ji Ling ordered: "The army pulled out the camp overnight to avoid Cao Jun's eyes and ears. No matter what, the enemy can't let the enemy catch up. We don't have much time, so we must withdraw to Shouchun in the shortest possible time. ,,,,,"

Two days later, Ji Ling led an army of more than [-] people to continue retreating towards Shouchun. The retreat plan he made failed to escape the calculations of Cao Cao, Sima Yi and others. Although Li Feng led the army to resist to the death, he was finally defeated by Cao Cao After breaking through, Li Feng himself was also beheaded by Cao Cao. After the accident happened to the rear troops, Ji Ling's rear was exposed. In desperation, Ji Ling had to order to retreat as soon as possible, even though Cao Jun might catch up.

As a result, after Ji Lingang led more than 1 troops back to Shouchun, the more than 20 troops stranded in the rear were also defeated by Cao Jun. It is a heavy loss.When they went north, there were [-] troops, but now when they come back, there are only half of them left, and their morale is low, and their fighting spirit is even worse. And there's a whole lot of mess to deal with.

Liu Bei's attack was very smooth. After taking Runan, he had a temporary foothold. After rectifying the sergeants, Liu Bei dispatched troops one after another, and achieved considerable results. Since Zhuge Liang assisted Liu Bei, Liu Bei's vision has finally been prosperous From the beginning, Liu Bei can be said to have made a lot of money in this battle of Yuzhou. If he can continue to advance and win Yuan Shu, Liu Bei's prestige will definitely reach a new height.

Half a month later, under the city of Shouchun, Cao Jun and Liu Jun completed their plan to besiege Shouchun. The defenders in the city failed to break through, and now they have to deal with the harassment and attacks of the enemy outside the city every day.

"I didn't expect to fight with Xuande again so soon." In the big tent, Cao Cao sat on the chief seat and smiled at Liu Bei: "Xuande took the lead in breaking through Yuan Shu's army and opening a gap for our army to go south. I have already asked His Majesty for credit, and it will not be long before His Majesty's reward will come, so I will congratulate you first."

"Compared to Meng De, I am far behind." Liu Bei replied modestly: "My ability and Meng De must be a small fight after all. The most important thing at present is to suppress the rebellion. There is no good plan."

"Su asked Mr. Zhuge that Le Yi is still alive. I saw Mr. Zhuge's ingenuity when he encircled and suppressed Lv Bu last time. I don't know what good strategy Mr. Zhuge has this time." Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "Mr. Taking down Chen Lan's [-] troops, presumably it won't be too difficult to take down Yuan Shu, I'm willing to listen to you."

"Extremely, I am willing to listen to you." Sima Yi said hastily: "With Mr. Zhuge's ingenuity, it must not be difficult to win Shouchun in three days, and it is easy to settle Yuan Shu in half a month. I still have many things to ask Mr. Zhuge for advice." Ask for advice."

Cao Cao and Sima Yi deliberately used Mr. Zhuge to address Zhuge Liang. Everyone could hear the rustiness in the words. It seemed that Liu Bei's previous behavior made them very annoyed. This time they also wanted to deliberately embarrass Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang is so Is it easy to deal with?
