Chapter 229 Throw Out Nanyang And Alienate Liu Biao And Yuan Shu
Cao Cao first appointed Cao Ren as his general and raised an army of 30,000 troops. He left Chenliu County and attacked Hulao Pass, intending to contain the Jin army's flanks. Then he personally led an army of 50,000 troops, intending to cross the Yellow River and invade Jizhou.
Liu Bei personally led an army of 80,000 people and also sent troops from Xuzhou, intending to join forces with Cao Cao and invade Jizhou together.
Gongsun Zan went south with an army of 60,000, preparing to take Hejian and Zhongshan directly in Jizhou.
The troops of Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Yuan Shu in Huainan were also mobilized. They seemed to respond to Wang Yun and even intended to invade the Hulao Pass of Jin.
One battle report after another made Yingyi frown.
These princes saw that the Jin army was besieging Chang'an and the Jin army was lacking in troops in the rear, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the autumn wind.
"Scats like Cao Cao and Liu Bei know how to fish in troubled waters and carry out sneak attacks from behind.
"Do they really think that this king is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by them?"
Anger is anger, and how to deal with the troubles in front of you is the most distressing thing.
On the Jizhou side, Xu Huang only had 70,000 Jizhou troops, which was more than enough to deal with any of the princes including Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Gongsun Zan15.
However, facing the invasion of three armies, it was somewhat stretched.
"Send an order for Zhao Yun to lead five thousand troops, withdraw from Hulao Pass, and rush to support the Jizhou battlefield."
"General Xue Rengui transferred 20,000 troops from Bingzhou, joined General Zhao Yun's troops, and transferred them to Jizhou together."
"Dian Wei and Fan Lihua immediately mobilized the personal guards. I will personally sit in Jizhou to deal with the thieves like Cao Cao and Liu Bei who took advantage of the situation.
In Jizhou, the three armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei totaled more than 100,000 people, and Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others personally led the troops.
Even if the reinforcements from Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun rush over, the two sides will be in a confrontation at best. It is not that easy to repel each other.
During this period of time, Ying Xin has been staying in Jinyang, and his hands and feet are a little cold.
I just took this opportunity to go out and stretch my muscles and see if Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others had made some progress.
"Wang Meng immediately recruited troops on the front line of Bingzhou, and within three months, he will gather more troops."
During this period of time, the Jin State had always implemented a policy of elite troops and strong generals. It did not recruit troops and engage in military warfare like Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu, Bei and others.
Now with the expansion of Jin's territory, if Chang'an is captured in the future, the east-west defense line from Chang'an to Jizhou will be too long.
Only by continuing to recruit troops can we deal with the invasion of these princes at any time.
"With the king personally taking action, the situation in Jizhou and Jizhou can be in a stalemate even if they cannot defeat Cao Cao and the others, making Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others dare not act rashly.
"As long as the Prime Minister seizes Chang'an, Cao Cao and others will retreat without a fight."
"However, Tan Ma came to report that Liu Biao and Yuan Shu were also dispatching troops. If they took advantage of the lack of troops in Wuguan and sent troops from Wuguan to attack Chang'an [Song Dynasty], they were afraid that it would affect the Prime Minister's plan to surround Chang'an." Guo Jia stood up and said.
"Feng Xiao said this, so he must have a way to deal with the two of them."
"Nanyang."
The place name suddenly came out of Guo Jia's mouth.
Nanyang County originally belonged to Jingzhou and was Liu Biao's territory.
However, Sun Jian took advantage of the eighteen princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo and killed the Nanyang governor at that time.
Taking advantage of the fact that the governor of Nanyang was killed and Nanyang fell into chaos, Yuan Shu sent troops to occupy Nanyang and forcefully snatched the piece of fat from Liu Biao's mouth.
Later, Yuan Shu relied on his powerful strength, and even expanded his private parts, burning, killing and looting everywhere.
Not only did they capture Yuzhou and Huainan, they even sent troops to Jingzhou from time to time to seize territory and resources. He and Liu Biao had already forged a deep hatred, and the forces on both sides were constantly having friction in Nanyang and other places.
If we take Nanyang as our guide and let the two fight against each other, it will not only prevent them from causing trouble behind their backs, but it can even weaken their strength.
Ying Xi immediately adopted Guo Jia's alienation strategy. While dispatching troops and generals to Jizhou, he also ordered spies to spread rumors in Jingzhou, Huainan and other places.
On the surface, Liu Biao followed the imperial edict of the young emperor Liu Xie, mobilized troops on a large scale, and prepared to send troops to Wuguan and go to Wuguan to support Chang'an. In fact, he was just to secretly seize the land of Nanyang.
After Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, Yuzhou and Huainan, his ambitions expanded rapidly. He also planned to take advantage of the God-given opportunity of the imperial edict issued by the little emperor to station troops in Nanyang. In fact, it was to mobilize more troops and seize the nine counties of Jingxiang in one fell swoop. , taking the entire Jingzhou into his pocket,
Soon, Liu Biao, who was located in Xiangyang, received rumors spread by the net.
When he learned that Yuan Shu was preparing to attack Jingzhou on a large scale, he broke into a cold sweat.
"Damn Yuan Shu, you took advantage of your status as the fourth generation and the third prince to take away my Nanyang, and that's all.
"Nowadays, the people are even more insufferable. They want to take my entire Jingzhou into their pocket. It is simply unbearable."
Kuai Yue on the side looked like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu actually dared to violate the White Horse Alliance set by Emperor Gaozu and openly proclaimed himself king. This is tantamount to wanting to betray the Han Dynasty."
"Now it is even more ambitious and has set its sights on our country of Chu."
"Your Majesty, why not take this God-given opportunity and, in the name of eliminating thieves for the country, directly send troops to attack Yuan Shu, take back our land of Nanyang, and let the princes of the world know that our Chu country is not easy to mess with."
Cai Mao also agreed: "Yuan Shu has always been an ambitious man who often invades our Chu country's territory and treats our Chu country as if it is nothing.
"Our Chu State has an army of hundreds of thousands, with strong soldiers and horses, and the Jingxiang Navy is invincible in the world."
"A mere Yuan Shu has repeatedly provoked the authority of Chu State. It's time to teach them some lessons and let them know that Chu State is not easy to mess with.
"Wait a minute!" Kuai Liang did not lose his mind. When he saw Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, they were angry and planning to send troops, so he quickly persuaded him: "I think this matter is a bit strange. Even if Yuan Shu wants to plot against me, Jingzhou should also be acting in secret, so why is this matter known to everyone.
"I'm just worried that there are evil people out there trying to harm us. They just want us and Yuan Shu to kill each other."
