Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 835 The False Emperor’s Ending 1
After several days of besieging the city, the morale of the army in the city was low. Coupled with the meticulous instigation and rumors, the people in the city were panicked. Regarding Yuan Shu's situation, he always wanted to break out of the siege and join Yuan Shu, so he was repeatedly tricked by Cao Cao.

After Liu Bei led his troops to the south, he didn't want to fight Yuan Shu to the death, but who would have thought that Yuan Shu, who was originally strong, would fall to this point. Zhuge Liang, who was looking for a fighter, decided to change his strategy. After discussing with Liu Bei for several days, he finally ordered to take the initiative to attack.

Although Yuan Shu, who retreated to Huainan, wanted to change something, his already hollowed-out body could no longer support him. Sun Ce severed ties with him at a critical moment, and now he was about to march north to attack Huainan, almost overnight. In the meantime, the mighty Yuan Shu has now become a street rat.

"Your Majesty..." In the main hall, when Yuan Shu was about to check how much territory he had left, a minister ran in and shouted, "Your Majesty, the traitor Liu Bei has captured another city of our army. So far, Liu Bei has captured four cities of our army one after another. According to reports from the spies, the traitor Liu Bei spread rumors everywhere, and many soldiers and civilians were bewitched by him, and now they have to take refuge in him. Your Majesty, if things go on like this, our army will hardly support."

"Cough cough cough..." Yuan Shu coughed angrily. These days, he was overwhelmed by these annoying things, and his physical condition plummeted.

"A mere Liu Bei dares to deceive me." Yuan Shu said angrily, "Where is Cao Cao now?"

"Cao Cao wanted to besiege Shouchun's army, but General Ji Ling didn't dare to send troops rashly after suffering a few losses at his hands." The minister replied: "Cao Cao, who has learned about the battle in Huainan, doesn't seem to want to stay in Shouchun any longer. The main force has been dispatched to the south, ready to attack Huainan, Your Majesty, if there is no large army stationed, Huainan will be in danger."

"Could it be that Huainan can't even be defended now?" Yuan Shu said sadly: "So, people in the world really want to kill me. The world is so big, what should I do?"

Seeing Yuan Shu's expression, the minister asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, why don't we abandon Huainan and go to your elder brother? The current strategy is to avoid the enemy's entanglement to keep us safe. He came from the Yuan clan, and he didn't send troops to participate in the battle of Yuzhou, so he presumably took into account the feelings of the same clan, at this moment, we can only offer a heavy gift and promise that he will not ignore you."

"Go to his place?" Yuan Shu looked at the map in a daze and smiled wryly, "That's all, that's the only way, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, pass the order, the army is assembled and ready to go north, now Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both entangled, we The army only has this chance to break through."

At the critical moment, Yuan Shu was not thinking about defending to the death, nor about fighting to the end, but about how to escape. Perhaps it was his strategy that led to his series of failures. If he was really decisive, he would at least be able to resist Liu Bei. It's a pity that Yuan Shu's character is like this, and it is doomed that he will not achieve great things.

The road to the north is not so easy, he has not made detailed arrangements, and there is no one under his command to advise him, so this plan to break out of the siege is full of loopholes, Zhuge Liang, how could he let go of this opportunity.

In order to break through the encirclement smoothly, Yuan Shu only led the most elite [-] old men under his command, and the rest of the troops were left to defend. However, how long can the army hold on without the main general? Those generals may be very loyal to Yuan Shu, but those ordinary soldiers are not. They didn't mean to fight to the death, once Yuan Shu left, they all clamored to go home, plus Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others were bewitching outside, it would be difficult for these remaining troops to last long.

"Yuan Shu gave up Huainan and prepared to break through to the north." In the big tent, Cao Cao pointed to the map and analyzed: "This time, Liu Bei took a big advantage. Most of Yuan Shu's left-behind troops have no fighting spirit. I guess Liu Bei will entangle Yuan Shu's follow-up soldiers. Ma, we don't care about the enemy army in Shouchun for the time being. We will go south to block Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Shu is captured, this battle will be completely over. If Yuan Shu is allowed to escape, the remnants of the enemy army in Yuzhou, Huainan, etc. If you continue to resist, the war will enter a state of anxiety, which is definitely not what I want to see."

"Our army first dispatched an army to entangle Yuan Shu. In order to break through the siege, Yuan Shu must have not many troops around him." Sima Yi stood up and said: "The subordinates think that our army can adopt a sneak attack strategy. In this way, there is a chance to take Yuan Shu down in one fell swoop." . "

"I think so too." Cao Cao nodded and replied: "Miaocai, among the entire army, the soldiers under your command march the fastest. Find Yuan Shu's location, and it is best to take the opportunity to kill Yuan Shu, Shouchun still needs soldiers and horses to guard, I will send someone to meet you, are you willing to go?"

"The final general leaves for Huainan immediately." Xia Houyuan quickly stood up and took orders: "The final general will definitely return with Yuan Shu's head, my lord, please rest assured."

After finishing speaking, Xia Houyuan left the big tent, the military situation was urgent, he knew he could not delay, there was still a long way to go to Huainan, if Yuan Shu was allowed to escape, then he would have nothing to do.

"Since that's the case, prepare the army immediately." Cao Cao squinted his eyes and ordered: "Cao Ren, I order you to lead 2 troops to defend Shouchun. It is necessary to create an appearance that the main force of our army is still here, and the enemy in the city must not be detected. , I only want you to hold on for ten days, and after ten days, I will definitely take down Yuan Shu. "

"The last general obeys orders." These years, Cao Ren basically led the army as Cao Cao's deputy general. Under normal circumstances, when Cao Cao was at a loss, Cao Ren would lead an army alone to echo Cao Cao. This time, Cao Cao had to rely on himself. old brother.

Both Cao Cao and Liu Bei are carrying out the final encirclement and suppression of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu is also having a very difficult time at the moment. He originally wanted to escape from Huainan, but he was attacked by Liu Bei's general Chen Dao not long after he left. Fortunately, Chen Dao Only three thousand soldiers and horses did not cause much damage to it.

However, in this way, his plan to break out of the siege and go north was exposed. Now it seems that only by speeding up and leaving the place of right and wrong can Yuan Shu save his life.

It is a pity that the opponent Yuan Shu faces this time is too strong. Which one of Cao Cao and Liu Bei is not a hero in the world. , It is simply a piece of cake, the battle has been going on until now, it has proved that Yuan Shu has lost the capital to stand up.

"Have you found the whereabouts of the enemy army..." In a camp in the wilderness, Zhao Yun looked at the generals around him and asked, "What's going on in the battle ahead?"

"Yuan Shu failed to break through and has already been entangled." Zhang Liaohui reported: "Cao Cao and Liu Bei have mobilized an army to encircle and suppress Liu Bei. General, should our army continue to go south?"

"No need, waiting for them here is,,,,,,"
