Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 52: Chaos in the World

Lu Bu got Hedong, and then Zhang Yang, who had agreed to join him before, brought the Shangdang to the imperial court, but the imperial court is more busy with accepting Hedong and disaster relief. As for the Shangdang, Lu Bu only appointed Yang Xiu as the prefect of the Shangdang temporarily. He also ordered Hua Xiong to guard Jiguan.

It's just that Lv Bu occupies the Hedong and Shangdang, so it will start to border Yuan Shao. To the east of Jiguan is Hanoi. Huaxiong stationed at Jiguan means that he has the ability to threaten Hanoi at any time. Since Shangdang belongs to Lu Bu, Lu Bu can always You can directly attack Yecheng through the Zhuozhang water.

Taixing Eight Xings, Lu Bu controlled four at once, how could Yuan Shao sit still after getting the news?

After Yuan Shao, who was confronting Gongsun Zan, got the news, he immediately wanted to retreat to Yecheng to guard against Lu Bu's surprise attack, but was stopped by a group of counselors.

"My lord, although Lü Bu occupies the two territories, he obtained Hedong by trickery. The foundation is not stable. Moreover, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong this year. Lv Bu has been running around for disaster relief before. Even if he wins the two counties now, he is powerless Our army is going to war." Tian Feng looked at Yuan Shao and said in a deep voice.

"That's right!" Feng Ji said solemnly, "My lord, if Lu Bu wanted to cross the Taihang Mountains, he would join forces with the Black Mountain bandits and come here through the Taihang Baxing, but our army has been fighting against the Heishan bandits all year round. Said that the checkpoints and passes set up by our army are all useless efforts?"

Xu You also nodded and said, "That's right, and Lu Bu has issued an order that all the princes of all parties can attack Gongsun Zan to avenge Liu Youzhou. Although he took the opportunity to attack Hetao and cut off the wings of our army, he still needs to be righteous. , Now our army is following an order to attack Gongsun Zan, and Lu Bu's sneak attack at this moment is a loss of righteousness!"

Ju Shou laughed and said: "My lord, although Lu Bu is strong, he is still a mortal. Now that he has internal and external troubles, it is not enough to start another war. If the lord is still worried, he can send his order back to Yecheng and be on guard. Because of this, the opportunity to destroy Gongsun Zan was missed, and it will be even more difficult to attack Youzhou."

It was Yuan Shao who, after Lv Bu swept Hetao, felt that Lv Bu was a growing threat and that a war in the future might be inevitable. He gave up the previous strategy of slowly consuming Gongsun Zan, and decided to attack Gongsun Zan as soon as possible, unify Hebei, and then watch the world change.

So during this period of time, Guanzhong took Hedong by the way for the people who were busy with disaster relief, while Yuan Shao kept attacking Gongsun Zan. After Gongsun Zan committed suicide and killed Liu Yu, he won the entire Youzhou and became more and more arrogant.

As a result, many of Liu Yu's old troops went south to vote for Yuan Shao, which indirectly strengthened Yuan Shao's power. Coupled with Yuan Shao's rapid attack, Gongsun Zan was able to fight Yuan Shao well at first, and even gained the upper hand for a time. Yu Jiu will join, and Gongsun Zan gradually begins to fall into the disadvantaged.

But at this time, there was news that Lu Bu captured Hedong and won the Shangdang without bloodshed. Although he had the upper hand, he didn't look like a big victory. In addition, he might face Lu Bu's threat in the rear, Yuan Shao naturally wanted to retreat.

But Yuan Shao hesitated when he saw a rare and unified strategist. He knew that if he won this battle, he would have nothing to worry about, and then he could fight Lu Bu well. What should I do if Lu Bu regains his strength after being unable to fight?

It is possible for others to be short of food, but it is impossible for Lu Bu to be short of food. Yuan Shao is absolutely sure of this. After all, most of the Guanzhong gentry were slaughtered by him, and those who were alive obediently gave up their money to save their lives. Lu Bu, even if there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, Lu Bu still has enough food to fight a big battle.

But Yuan Shao was a little surprised and embarrassed by the reaction of his counselors. His own decision was different from that of the others, and the opinions of the others were not unreasonable.

"But Gongsun Zan is so eager to break through...what can I do?" Yuan Shao actually wanted to retreat because he had been attacking Youzhou for a long time.

"My lord, although our army is exhausted from fighting for a long time, why not Gongsun Zan? Also, he is headstrong. Since he can't attack by force, it's better to plan it out!" Guo Tu smiled.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "The plan will be released?"

"Our army is pressing too hard now, so even though Gongsun Zan is defeated, he is fighting the enemy with all his strength. It is better for our army to withdraw for 30 miles and release the news that after Lu Bu captured Hedong and Shangdang, he stationed troops at Jiguan and Shangdang. When Gongsun Zan hears that he will definitely pursue him, my lord can pretend to retreat, and at the same time send a general to ambush in the middle of the road, and when Gongsun Zan pursues him, he will charge out from the rear, while our army will turn around and attack fiercely, attacking back and forth, why worry that Gongsun Zan will not be defeated?" Guo Tu laughed.

"So what if Gongsun Zan doesn't chase after him?" Feng Ji asked rhetorically.

"If he doesn't chase..." Guo Tu thought for a while and said, "Our army can only regroup and fight again."

Whether it is war or not, the strategy does not necessarily succeed, but according to Guo Tu's estimation, Gongsun Zan is a man who will get revenge on the one hand, and secondly, he is very successful, so the probability of falling into the trap is extremely high.

"According to the words of Gong Ze!" After Yuan Shao thought about it, he finally decided to use Guo Tu's strategy. Lü Bu did capture Hedong, and he did intend to withdraw his troops. This strategy is reasonable. As for whether Gongsun Zan chased him out, it was not theirs. I can control it.

At that moment, Yuan Shao began to rest his troops and began to prepare for his withdrawal. At the same time, he secretly spread rumors. On the other hand, Gongsun Zan soon got the news.

"Lü Bu captured Hedong and Shangdang?" Gongsun Zan came to the map, carefully checked the map and said, "If that's the case, then it's no wonder that Yuan Shao wanted to flee. Eight Xings of the Taihang, these two counties will fight four Xings, if Lv Bu sends troops at this time , then Yuan Shao is facing the enemy, why worry about being undefeated?"

"My lord, since Yuan Shao retreats, will our army pursue it?" Yan Gang asked.

Gongsun Zan frowned after observing the map for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I should pursue it. I'm afraid that this is just Yuan Shao's plan to deceive us. I heard that there is a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, so Lu Bu may not be able to move even if he wants to. How could they suddenly invade Hedong? Moreover, the imperial court should have made the news known to the world, but Yuan Shao's army spread the word before we received it?"

Could there be fraud in this?

Gongsun Zan is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight. He has fought with Yuan Shao to this day, and he has many generals in the war. But in terms of strategy, almost all decisions are made by Gongsun Zan. At this time, it is impossible to rely on a piece of news that he fabricated .

But soon, Gongsun Zan's doubts were dispelled. The day after Yuan Shao withdrew, Gongsun Zan received an envoy from the imperial court, but the envoy sent by the imperial court was blocked because of the war. Yuan Shao was outside the city, so he could see him naturally. But Gongsun Zan was in the city, and the envoy couldn't come in for a while.

Now that Yuan Shao withdrew, the court envoys naturally entered the city.

Is it true?

Gongsun Zan looked at the imperial edict, which had the jade seal of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo on it. This prince could not imitate it. His eyes narrowed. In other words, it was true that Yuan Shao retreated?

Ignoring the court envoy, Gongsun Zan threw the edict on the ground and shouted loudly, "Send my military order, all generals muster!"

Since it is true that there is a problem in Yuan Shao's rear, why should Gongsun Zan be polite to Yuan Shao, take advantage of your illness and kill you, just beat him to death!

At present, Gongsun Zan gathered all the generals out of the city, and personally led the army to find the direction of Yuan Shao's retreat, chasing after him for more than 50 miles. Along the way, he encountered many broken soldiers and horses, but they were easily defeated by Gongsun Zan's fine cavalry. It was dark, just about to set up camp, and when we had to rest for one night and chase again tomorrow, there was a sudden sound of gongs on both sides, followed by two troops rushing out from the slanting stabs, the timing was perfect, it was Gongsun Zan who was about to set up camp, and the soldiers finally Time to relax, and pop out from behind.

Gongsun Zan was caught off guard, and was thrown into chaos by two troops. On the other side, Yuan Shao, who was supposed to be retreating, saw the signal from the rear and rushed back overnight. All the way back, he seized more than 20 cities, and chased until Yijing, before stopping.

Gongsun Zan was devastated after this battle, and at the same time those Youzhou officials who had supported Liu Yu also surrendered, and even Yi Jingdu almost fell.

However, Yuan Shao's confidence increased greatly. After ordering the general to guard the rear, he ignored it and began to command the army to launch a full-scale attack on Gongsun Zan.

The war in the north was in full swing, and Cao Cao was not idle in the south. After raising enough food and grass in April, he began to attack Xuzhou again. It made Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou more difficult than last time.

And in this battle, Tao Qian also invited several powerful generals, they were the three brothers who fought against Lu Bu in Hulaoguan and retreated unscathed. These three were brave and led the Xuzhou army several times The defeat of Cao Jun on the local battlefield caused Cao Cao a lot of trouble.

However, it seemed that Cao Cao's luck was bad. Just when he was about to attack Xuzhou desperately, something happened in the rear. Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, joined forces with Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and other scholars to attack Yanzhou. The counties in Yanzhou responded one after another. Almost broke.

At this point, Cao Cao didn't care about settling accounts with Tao Qian, and hurried back to Yanzhou to fight against the rebels formed by these aristocratic families. With the help of people, Yanzhou was successfully taken back, but locust plagues occurred in Yanzhou, and many places had no harvests. Therefore, Cao Cao was no longer able to attack Xuzhou, so he could only settle down temporarily, lick his wounds, and recuperate.

In short, the first year of Xingping did not look like Xingping at all. There was a severe drought in Guanzhong, Lu Bu was busy with disaster relief, and the princes of the Guandong were also fighting endlessly. However, because of this chaos, many Yanyu people fled to the land of Heluo. Lv Bu took Wei Qi as the Yin of Henan Province, and was responsible for collecting and managing these refugees who had fled. They settled down in Heluo. At the same time, he ordered Wei Xu to lead his army to Luoyang and station troops in Yanshi. nerve……
