three kings

Chapter 312 The whole army of the Central Plains collapsed?

After Jia Xu got the news, she told Sun Can the news at that time.

On such a major issue, Sun Can did not dare to be arbitrary, so he immediately summoned several counselors to study it together.

"Everything is ready now, the only difference is the timing. If this news can be proved to be correct, everything will be fine. But in case this is a trap, Yuan Jun is attacking in advance, or directly crossing the river to surprise Hefei. In this way, we will have a good time for the other side. If you are caught off guard, there is a possibility that if you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose a lot of rice, and not only will your success fall short, but the thousands of hu grains will go into Yuan Shao's pocket for nothing." Guo Jia immediately thought of this after hearing the news Jia Xu received. The authenticity of the news.

Liu Hua said: "This news is presumably true."

"Why?" Sun Can didn't know why Liu Hua was so sure.

Liu Hua said with a mysterious smile: "I secretly sent people to spy on Yuan Shaojun's current movements, and found that they are fabricating bamboo felling in a big way. This move must be to make preparations for crossing the Huaihe River."

Sun Can showed joy, Yuan Shao fabricated the bamboo raft for two purposes, one is to use it for the army to cross the river after capturing Runan.The second is to attack Hefei.However, Yuan Shao's fanfare was obviously not for a sneak attack.

Sun Can said loudly: "The whole army is ready to stand by for the counterattack in half a month's time."

In the blink of an eye, nine days passed.At that time, Jian'an six years, November 26th.

Yuan Shao raised an army of 20 and took turns to attack Runan County. Sun Can personally led the generals to defend with all their strength.Yuan Shao's army continued to attack without breaking through for three days, and suffered heavy losses. Sun Can's army also suffered many casualties.

November 27.night.

In the city of Runan, Zhao Liang, the great merchant, Shi Shuding, the head of Runan, and Wang Qiang from the Wang family gathered more than a dozen merchants from aristocratic families in the city, assembled generals and thousands of rioters, and captured the West Gate by surprise.

At the critical moment, Sun Can immediately ordered all the rebels to be punished by the three clans. Zhao Liang, Shu Ding, Wang Qiang and more than [-] merchants from aristocratic families were all executed.The thunderbolt method immediately calmed down the situation, and no one dared to take advantage of the fire to rob.

However, since the gates of the city were lost earlier, Yuan Shao's army, who had already ambushed nearby, had already occupied every key point, and soldiers poured in like a tide.

Under the enemy on both sides, the North City Gate was also declared broken.Sun Can's army fought fiercely for three hours, but in the end they were outnumbered, and the defeated ones fled everywhere.

November 28st.

Sudden bad news came from the north. Gongsun Du of Liaodong pointed his troops at Yecheng. Yuan Xi, who was guarding Yecheng, rushed to ask Yuan Shao for rescue.

At this moment, Yuan Shao is at a great opportunity to destroy his grandson, so he has no time to spare.All the generals intend to take advantage of Sun Can's defeat to make extraordinary achievements.Only Liu Bei was willing to go north to fight against the enemy.

Yuan Shao allocated [-] soldiers and horses to Liu Bei, plus his original [-] troops, to fight against Gongsun Du in the north.

November 29st.

Yuan Shao took over the whole county of Runan, left Zhang Yun and Gao Lan to guard Runan with a rate of 45, and then led [-] to cross the Huaihe River and go straight to Hefei.

December [-]rd.

The south bank of Daying on the Huaihe River.

After four days of extradition, most of Yuan Shao's soldiers had crossed the Huai River, where Yuan Shao held an emergency meeting.

Yuan Shao sat on the main seat with an expression of pride, his eyes glanced back and forth on the faces of the officials, at this moment he was already the veritable number one in the world, and Sun Can's army had been defeated by him.It's a pity that he didn't capture Sun Can, but Sun Can is already a lost dog at this moment, and he has no qualifications to be his opponent at all.The reason why I am afraid of him is nothing more than because of the 15 elites in his hands known as "the world's sharp dawn". Now that Sun Can's army has been killed by him, Sun Can naturally cannot pose any threat to him.

Although Sun Can still has Jinghuai, Huainan has been exposed to his iron cavalry, and it is easy to conquer Huainan with his own strength.Without Huainan, Sun Can was just lingering in Jingzhou.

At this moment, Yuan Shao felt that he was getting closer to the day of unifying the world, and said proudly: "Now that Sun Can's main force has been defeated by our army in Runan, what do you think about this?"

Guo Tumei said with a smile: "My lord has risen to the sky with great fortune and defeated the powerful enemy. Judging from the current situation, the day when the lord dominates the world is just around the corner. Congratulations, congratulations!"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction and nodded.

The judge frowned. Guo Tu is the confidant of the eldest son Yuan Tan, and he is the subordinate of the third son Yuan Shang. The two have always been very at odds. , He said worriedly: "Master, there is no need to rush this matter. This subordinate believes that there are many doubts about the victory of this battle. Sun Can is not an idler. How could he be defeated by our army to such a degree? This subordinate is worried about fraud."

Yuan Shaodao: "Zhengnan has been worrying too much. You were the one who came up with this wonderful plan to defeat the enemy. You should ensure that it is feasible before the battle. Now that everything is going well, how can you go back on your word?"

The judge shook his head, "Originally everything was within the subordinate's prediction, but the current results far exceeded the subordinate's estimate. What Sun Can said, he is also a reputable overlord, how could his strength be so weak? How could it be possible to kill Sun Can's army to pieces in just one battle?"

Yuan Shao was a little stunned, his victory really came too fast, and he was also a little surprised when he was told by the judge.Just as he was about to think about it, there was a voice of objection from the hall.

"The subordinates think that the decision made by the judge is too hasty."

Yuan Shao looked for the reputation, and it was Xu You, the counselor.

I saw Xu You came out of the class and said: "My lord, you and Sun Can were good friends when you were young. You should know what kind of person Sun Can is. Is this man bloodthirsty?"

Yuan Shao replied: "Although Sun Can's path is different from Shao's, it is certain that Sun Can is not like Cao Cao, he is a cruel and bloodthirsty generation."

"However, not long ago, Sun Can ordered Zhao Liang, Shu Ding, Wang Qiang and more than [-] merchants from his family to be killed. As the old saying goes, 'The family is not to be blamed, and the wife and children are not to be blamed.' Sun Can is not a bloodthirsty person. Why would you let go of such a crime?" Xu You shook his head and said logically.

Feng Ji interjected: "This is Sun Can's method. In the situation at that time, only the method of thunder can shake the scene."

"Means?" Xu You asked back, "You can put it another way, but I feel that Sun Can is angry from embarrassment. Just imagine, Sun Can is so fond of Runan that he almost sent all his troops to guard this place. However, because Zhao Liang, Shu The relationship between Ding, Wang Qiang and the others caused loopholes to appear in Runan City, which is like an iron wall, and caused him to fall into a place where he will never be restored. No matter how well-bred Sun Can is, he will become angry from shame and execute all these people."

"This..." What Xu You said was not unreasonable, and the judge did not know how to answer.

Seeing that he had become everyone's point of view, Xu You smiled slightly, coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, have you seen Sun Can's army's defeat?"

Everyone nodded.

Xu You said: "I believe everyone must remember that Sun Canjun's retreat route, who can tell it, or draw it."

After a cup of tea, no one spoke.

Xu You went on to say: "Can't draw it? To be honest, I can't draw it either. Because Sun Can's army is not called a retreat, but a collapse, and the ones killed by our army are scattered in all directions. Sun Can is an expert in using soldiers. How can it be false if he loses?" It will look like this. The strength of Sun Can's army lies in his soldiers. Gathering the soldiers together will lead to no disadvantages. Even our army's mighty army should be in awe. However, Sun Can's army is so scattered at the moment, isn't it because our army really defeated Sun Can? Is it the best proof of Chan? So now is the best time to attack."

Yuan Shaoxi said: "Ziyuan's words are indeed reasonable."

The judge couldn't refute it either, he also saw the collapse of Sun Can's army with his own eyes, the remnant soldiers were defeated and fled in all directions, without any order, it wasn't to lure the enemy to go deep, maybe it was really his own paranoia.

Seeing that everyone acquiesced to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao smiled happily: "Since everyone is meaningless, then do as Mr. Xu You said.

Pass my general order, the army is approaching Hefei, and we are planning to seize the opponent's food and grass first. "

Xu You stood up again and said, "My lord, Sun Can's army has been defeated. This is the moment when the opponent's army is in a state of disarray. Our soldiers show off to the public and march very slowly. According to my subordinates, I can send a general to lead a team." Qingqi, surprise attack on Hefei. This is the moment when their army's morale is unstable. If they attack unexpectedly, Hefei will definitely be available in one battle, and the food in the city will also be owned by our army. If we take Hefei earlier, our army's food will be stabilized earlier. Grain and grass , is an important matter in the army, and should not be taken carelessly."

"That's right!" Yuan Shao said loudly: "General Chunyu Qiong, I have specially ordered you to lead fifty thousand light cavalry to Hefei as quickly as possible. You must conquer Hefei before my army arrives."

"Order!" Chunyu Qiong, with a beard and a beard, ordered loudly.

December [-]th.

Chunyu Qiong arrived in Hefei with [-] light cavalry.

On the Hefei city wall, Chen Dao looked sternly at Chunyu Qiong at the bottom of the city, and remembered what Sun Can said to himself not long ago, "Uncle and nephew, the situation has reached a critical moment. One wrong step will result in failure. There is no chance at all. Your task is to ensure that the city of Hefei is not lost from now until the night three days later. During this period, you must not only defend against Chunyuqiong's 40 cavalry attack, but also Yuan Shao's [-] Wan Dajun's five-hour offensive. Whether your success here is directly related to the victory or defeat of our army."

When Chen Dao saw that Sun Can was so fond of him, he was deeply moved, and said loudly at that time: "Even if I die in battle, I will die in Zishi three days later."

"No, uncle and nephew, we must live," Sun Can nodded slightly, as if affirming something.

He repeated it again, as if he wanted to engrave the name in his heart, "Nephew, you must live well for me."

Think here.Chen Dao suddenly had an unspeakable urge, whether he lived or died, this person, I will follow him for the rest of my life!

He looked down at Chunyu Qiong, and shouted in his heart:

"Come on, even if you, Yuan Shao, have an army of one million, even if your army strength is ten times larger, I will complete the task entrusted by my lord."
