three kings

Chapter 262
The next one was Zhang Liao, who had just won the battle and was appointed as the "General Against Rebellion".

One month ago, Zhang Liao found out that Sun Ce had the intention to send troops, and immediately wrote a letter to Xu Shu, the prefect of Jiangxia, and Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, to discuss a plan to defeat the enemy.

Xu Shu came up with a plan. He asked Chen Deng to inform Yan Baihu to guard against Wuhu County, and he himself sent troops to attack Chaisang after Sun Ce sent troops.

Less than half a month after Sun Ce dispatched troops, he learned that Chaisang had been attacked.

Chaisang was Sun Ce's foundation at this time, and he couldn't lose it, so he immediately returned to the teacher to rescue him.

And Zhang Liao was in charge of intercepting halfway. He knew Pang Tong's strength well, and he knew that his strategy was not Pang Tong's opponent who simply opened up the battle and waited on the only way Sun Ce had to pass. confront each other.

Although Sun Ce's military strength is higher than Zhang Liao's, which is three times that of Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao's command is all cavalry, while Sun Ce's command is all infantry.

On the vast plain, Zhang Liao took advantage of the right time and location, defeated Sun Ce's army with absolute advantage, and then left calmly.

Sun Ce was worried about Zhang Liao setting up an ambush and worrying about Chaisang's safety, so he could only watch Zhang Liao leave. When he arrived at Chaisang, the cunning Xu Shu had already returned to Jiangxia.

Although this battle was not a big victory, it also killed more than a thousand enemies, which severely dampened Sun Ce's spirit.

"Wen Yuan, since you saved my life in Luoyang, you have been on the saddle, and the 'Wolf Riding Battalion' under your leadership has surpassed the previous Bingzhou Wolf Riders, and even let Jiangdong children know how powerful our army is a month ago. I, Huainan, can stand upright, you should be the first to contribute!"

Seeing Sun Can's praise of himself in front of the generals, Zhang Liao felt honored on his purple face, and said loudly: "Zhang Liao has received great kindness from the lord, and he will serve as the lord, and he will not hesitate to die."

Sun Can laughed, turned around and walked towards Fan Wu. He counted the merits of the soldiers one by one, and went around the hall for a full circle. Everyone's achievements were complete, ranging from beheading generals and capturing the flag to being shot by arrows. Injured, everything is clear.

From the beginning of the army to the present sitting on the land of Jinghuai, all the military exploits and achievements of the soldiers are described, and they are praised and praised one by one.

After counting everything and seeing that there were no omissions, he returned to his seat, looked at the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Without the support of all the generals, I, Sun Can, would not be where I am today." The position of "general" is the result of your joint efforts. Sun Can will keep in mind every meritorious service you make. Can knows that you are all bold people, so I won't talk nonsense.

But at this moment it is too early to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards. You all know Yuan Shao's intention of going south, and after we have worked together to destroy Yuan Shaoxun's bandits, we will discuss meritorious deeds. "

All the generals present felt Sun Can's heroic spirit and confidence in winning, and saluted together: "I am willing to do my best to wipe out Yuan Bandit."

Yuan Shao, who has four families and three fathers, has been reduced to a Yuan thief in the eyes of everyone at this moment.

Sun Can smiled slightly and said, "Wen Ruo, tell everyone about the current battle situation."

"As ordered," Xun Yu bowed slightly and walked out, "Generals, the battle between Cao and Yuan touched the hearts of righteous men all over the world. You must know something about it. Since Cao Cao's surprise attack on 'Tunxi' failed, he retreated to Guandu , intending to wait for a counterattack. However, Yuan Shao is strong and his troops are more than ten times that of Cao Cao. Cao Cao's troops are in danger of food shortages, and the situation is very critical. Cao Cao decisively withdrew Xiahou Dun who was guarding Yanzhou, gave up Yanzhou, and returned to Guandu.

Due to the disparity in strength, Cao Cao has already moved Emperor Xian to Luoyang, and plans to return to Hulao Pass to defend at the end of October this year.That is to say, Yuan Shao will occupy Yuzhou and Xuzhou two months later, and officially connect with our army territory.Soon, he will extend his greedy claws to Jinghuai, and the war is coming. "

Zhao Yun on the side said: "Is Cao Cao reliable? I have heard of this man. He is cunning and cunning, so don't trust him."

Sun Can looked at Zhao Yun in surprise and smiled happily.There is a saying in the art of war: to attack the unprepared, to catch the unawares.To seize any fighter that can strike the enemy.

Cao Cao retreated to Hulao Pass, obviously ceding Yuzhou to Yuan Shao.Yuan Shao will definitely send soldiers to receive them. If he divides his troops to attack these soldiers at this moment, it will definitely be effective, and it will be a very favorable opportunity.

But this fighter can only be successful on the premise that Cao Cao is trustworthy. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are in collusion, then this fighter is the opponent's bait.

Zhao Yun didn't ask other questions, but directly asked Cao Cao if he was credible, which was enough to prove that he had thought about the fighter, and he had thought about it further, instead of focusing on the fighter as before, regardless of external factors.From this point, it can be seen that Zhao Yun is making progress, and he has the potential to be a commander.If trained properly, his achievements will not be inferior to Xu Huang and Zhang Liao.

Sun Can said with a smile: "Cao Cao really can't believe it, but he can't do anything right now. He has no reason to offend me after offending Yuan Shao."

"My lord once said that when two armies confront each other, interests come first. Wouldn't Cao Cao form an alliance with Yuan Shao?"

"Impossible!" Sun Can explained patiently: "Benefits themselves have their size. In Yuan Shao's eyes, our army is not the one with the most benefits."

"Xiandi?" Zhao Yun understood what Sun Can meant.

Sun Can nodded and said approvingly: "Exactly, as long as Emperor Xian is in Cao Cao's hands, Yuan Shao will have no possibility of forming an alliance with Cao Cao! The source of this battle lies in Emperor Xian. Yuan Shao's eagerness to go south is to get Cao Cao's help. Seize Emperor Xian in your hands so as to achieve his well-known ambition."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "That's okay, Yuan Shao is arrogant and self-righteous. We can just use Cao Cao to retreat, and when Yuan Shao divides his troops to garrison the city, we can give Yuan Shao a hard blow. It can defeat the enemy's spirit, and it can also promote me. Military prestige kills two birds with one stone."

"Well said!" Sun Can picked up the command arrow in one hand and said, "Zhao Yun listens to the command!"

"The last general is here!" Zhao Yun immediately went out to take over the order.

"You immediately lead the 'Eagle Cavalry Battalion' to Runan, superficially assist General Chen Dao to guard Runan, and immediately go north to attack Yuan Shao's army when the right time comes. All matters are up to you to decide."

"Yes!" Zhao Yun accepted the first order happily and said, "The last general will never disappoint the high expectations of the lord."

"Where is Zhang Liao?"

"The end is here!"

"You lead the army and horses of the headquarters to continue to station in Wan County to guard Lujiang County."

"Yes!" Seeing that he could not participate in the battle against Yuan, Zhang Liao felt a little disappointed, but he still took the general order without hesitation.

Sun Can said: "Wenyuan, this battle is a life-and-death battle for our army, so there must be no mistakes in the rear. Stabilizing the rear is a prerequisite for defeating the enemy. Although it is not on the battlefield, the significance is far more important than the front. victory or defeat."

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "Zhang Liao understands that if you want to enter Huainan, my son Sun Ce, you must first walk over my corpse."

Sun Can smiled and said: "It's not that serious, I believe Wen Yuan will be able to hold the rear position." Then, he ordered the whole army: "All the rest of the soldiers will stand ready after returning to the camp, and are ready to be dispatched at any time."

The battle between Sun and Yuan is coming! (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
