Chapter 523 Nanyang War
Li Feng's 50,000 troops were wiped out under the joint hands of Cao and Liu. After a few days of rest, they attacked the Huainan border and the troops came to the Huainan border.
Yuan Shu heard the scouts sent to report that Li Feng's army was almost wiped out, and none of them could escape back to Huainan. Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost fell from his golden dragon chair. Yuan Shu was still in shock, and then a scout came to report. When Cao Cao and Liu Bei led their troops to the Huainan border, Yuan Shu only felt that his head exploded and roared exhaustively!
"Liu Bei!!!! He!!!"
"Your Majesty, it must be Liu Xuande who secretly colluded with Cao Cao, so the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the two generals Li and Le will be destroyed so easily!"
Yan Xiang took a step forward and shouted in a hurry.
"Big-eared thief, it's so vicious!!! I!! I!! I!!! Come on, inform all the soldiers and horses, and gather the whole army. I want to fight in person, the traitor of the big-eared thief!!!"
Yuan Shu was so angry that he was shudling.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it! At this time, Cao and Liu were newly defeated by our army, and their morale was like a rainbow. Their two armies had as many as 70 or 80,000 troops. At this time, they rushed out to fight, but I was afraid that they could win. Your Majesty, please be patient for the time being and wait for General Sun's army to come, combine the general trend of the two armies, and then fight against the rebels!"
Yan Xiang gave advice again. Yuan Shu suppressed his anger, looked at Sun Ce with quiet eyes, and shouted with a reproachful attitude.
"Bo Fu! Why is your father late for the future? He doesn't know that the country is in danger at this time!?"
"Your Majesty is angry. Of course, my father knows your majesty's urgent needs. Yesterday, he sent someone to inform the last general's house that it only takes three days, and the army will definitely arrive!"
Sun Ce bowed his hand and bowed very respectfully. In fact, he was laughing coldly in his heart.
"Yuan Highway is in a hurry to find death. When your father arrives, your emperor's life should be over!"
Hearing that Sun Jian would arrive in three days, Yuan Shu's gloomy face was much better, and then he felt that his tone was relatively fierce just now. At this time, Sun's lineage was in power. Sun Ce was not only his son-in-law, but also very famous in his army, and his father Sun Jian held nearly 80,000 heavy soldiers. Yuan Shu did not dare to treat him. Too harsh.
"Hahaha. The Sun family is loyal. I have Sun's protection, so I'm not afraid of the two thieves of Cao and Liu. Bo Fu, after this matter, you and your father, I will be rewarded again! I hope the Sun family will fight for me, and don't live up to my trust!"
"The last general will die!!!"
Sun Ce knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly, as if he were in a loyal posture. However, he laughed wildly in Sun Ce's heart. Sun Ce was even looking forward to it. A few days later, when his father Sun Jian opened the Shouchun city gate, put Cao and Liu Dajun in, and then killed Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses with his soldiers, Yuan Shu would show a crazy expression.
At the same time, the war in Nanyang and Runan is also going on fiercely.
In Nanyang County, Xiahou Dun's 20,000 troops were like broken bamboo and attacked Nanyang City. Lei Bo and Chen Lan saw that Xiahou Dun's army was fierce, so they gathered all the Nanyang soldiers in Nanyang City, wanting to take advantage of the strength of Nanyang City to sharpen the edge of Xiahou Dun's army. In addition, for years of water and drought in the south, people are short of food. Lei Bo and Chen Lan all want to wait for Xiahou Dun to run out of food, and they will inevitably retreat.
It is said that because Cao Cao used 100,000 troops, it consumed a lot of food, and the counties were deserted, so it was too late to help. Xiahou Dun urged the army to fight quickly, but Lei Bo and Chen Lan made the sergeants stay steady and did not go out. Xiahou Dun saw that the grain was decreasing day by day, and Nanyang City was not conquered for a long time, so he called Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures.
In Xiahou Dun's tent, Xiahou Dun's face was calm, while Jia Xu was thinking quietly. After thinking for a while, Jia Xu slowly opened his mouth.
"Although our army's grain is about to run out, it can still last for half a month. Unexpectedly, Lei Bo and Chen Lan wanted to spend food with us. Then we might as well cut off the water source of Nanyang City. People can have no food for three days, but they can't have no water for a day. The water storage in Nanyang City can be used for up to five days. As long as the water source is cut off, after five days, it will inevitably change in Nanyang City. At the same time, General Xiahou can send several teams of soldiers and horses disguised as soldiers and horses to send grain. When Lei Bo and Chen Lan saw that our troops had food supplies, they must be in a hurry. Sometimes Nanyang was in chaos. Even if they did not want to attack, their soldiers would also push each other. At that time, I will set up a net and wait for them to destroy themselves.
"Ah, but if this water source is cut off, then more than 100,000 people in Nanyang City can!"
As soon as Jia Xu's voice fell, Li Dian couldn't help exclaiming. Xiahou Dun also frowned. He was not a kind person. If so, he would not follow Cao Cao and live a killing life of licking blood with a knife.
"This plan is good, but it is to avoid hurting people. The lord has just become the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. It is the time when he is criticized. If this matter is leaked, I'm afraid that the lord's reputation will be greatly damaged, and then he will be made a big deal by some people.
"In the troubled times, if you only keep your reputation, it will be difficult to achieve a great career. If the lord is here, with his hero nature, he must be decisive. After all, as long as Lei Bo and Chen Lan's soldiers and horses are destroyed, the people in Nanyang can naturally regain the water source. The number of people who die due to lack of water is tens of thousands of people. But if our army attacks Nanyang, most of the soldiers will be sacrificed. Of course, General Xiahou is the leader of the army. If it is General Xiahou, he doesn't need Jia's plan. Jia didn't dare to say more.
Jia Xu's face was indifferent, and he talked about the life and death of nearly ten thousand people. Unexpectedly, he did not change his color. He was indeed a cruel man called a 'poisoner' by the world.
Xiahou Dun listened carefully. After a while, he patted the case with one hand and nod his head.
"The military division's plan is very good. There is no reason to use it! General Li, you immediately send my order to lead three teams to block all three water sources in Nanyang. From today on, I want there to be no half a drop of water flowing into Nanyang City!"
"Oh, the last general is in command!"
Li Dian's eyes are a little impressible, but how dare he disobey the military order. After receiving the order, Li Dian withdrew from the outside of the camp and ordered the three teams of soldiers to rush to the water source outside Nanyang City.
In the tent, Jia Xu and Xia Hou Dun fell into a strange silence. Xiahou Dun glanced at Jia Xu silently. This man was covered in cold and vicious. Xiahou Dun couldn't help but secretly glad that such people were under the command of Cao Cao. Otherwise, they would be the enemy. If they were a little careless, they would take off a few layers of skin even if they didn't die.
Xiahou Dun, according to Jia Xu's plan, cut off Nanyang's shui source, and at the same time, he sent Li Dian to lead several teams of soldiers and horses to install them as food delivery convoys.
Lei Bo and Chen Lan led the army to defend Nanyang City. Seeing that Xiahou Dun had been unsold for a long time, he thought that soon he would run out of food and soldiers, so he had to withdraw from Nanyang. While the two were secretly happy, suddenly a soldier came to report that Nanyang Shuiyuan was intercepted, and the people in the city were robbing the wellhead in the city to store water.
Lei Bo and Chen Lan were shocked when they heard it. Chen Lan said to Lei Bo in an urgent voice.
"General Lei, once the water is cut off, it is more disturbing than the grain shortage! At this time, there is Cao Jun guard outside the city, and we can't get water from the city. It can only be maintained by water storage in the city. If this is caused by these people to rob, I'm afraid that in less than five days, there will be no half a drop of water in Nanyang City. What should I do?"
"General Chen calm down! If you mess up, won't you be in the arms of the enemy? We and other soldiers protect our home and the country, and naturally give priority to the use of water storage in the city. Come on, pass my order, immediately send 3,000 armored soldiers to suppress the riots and guard all the wellheads in the city. No one can get close to any wellhead without my order! Those who disobey the order, be killed!"
Thunder thin eyes are gloomy, and he actually wants to monopolize the water source in the city with violence.
"Wow!"
After the soldiers knelt down to receive the order, they hurriedly retreated and informed the generals. Soon after, 3,000 soldiers rushed to all the streets of Nanyang City, driving away the people who rushed to the mouth of the well to draw water with cold and sharp weapons, and then divided into teams to guard all the well mouths in Nanyang.
The people of Nanyang looked at the rows of guns and dared not say anything, so they had to retreat one after another. However, this is only the first day when the water is cut off in Nanyang. With the accumulation of time, the people in the city will run out of water in their homes. At that time, these people will become crazy and fearless.
Time is like a white horse passing through the gap. Five days later, in Nanyang City.
Angrily, roaring, and crying everywhere. Most of the people in Nanyang are pale and dry. Their eyes are full of madness, and they are constantly crowded towards the wells in the city. A team of Nanyang soldiers blocked it with weapons, but these Nanyang people had been out of water for five days. At this time, they only felt thirsty, and the water source was the only thing they wanted most urgently at the moment. The people of Nanyang ignored the guns and rushed out crazily, rushing away a team of Nanyang soldiers. In order to resist the crazy approach of the people, a Nanyang soldier was angry for a moment and stabbed an old man to death by mistake. Blood dripping from the gun, and the people of Nanyang watched the old man scream and fall. First, they were frightened. Later, two men rushed out, or the two men were the relatives of the old man. The two men shouted excitedly and attacked the Nanyang soldier who killed the old man. In order to save his life, Nanyang soldiers pulled out Xue Linlin's gun and stabbed the two men. The blood soared again, and the two men fell into a pool of blood one after another. The death of these two men seemed to ignite the deep resentment accumulated by the people of Nanyang. More and more people started to fight at the Nanyang soldiers, and the troops of the soldiers rushed to Nanyang one after another. Although these soldiers had armor and weapons, there were only 3,000 people. How could they be the opponents of more than 100,000 people? They were immediately beaten and fled everywhere. After a team of Nanyang soldiers fled, the wellhead was no longer guarded. Suddenly, the Nanyang people rushed to the wellhead crazily to rob the water source.
Some soldiers came to report the thunder, saying that the people in the city were in chaos and were crazily grabbing the mouth of the well to store water. Lei Bo was furious after hearing this and quickly gathered all the soldiers in the city to suppress it.
A team of soldiers held guns and set up a large array to kill the unarmed people on the streets of Nanyang. Lei Bo killed at the front, killing people at first sight, extremely ruthless. More and more people in Nanyang died under the blades of Nanyang soldiers, and the streets were stained with blood.
Nanyang City seems to have become a hell on earth, and the heartbreaking sad screams are endless. However, those so-called Nanyang soldiers who protect their families and defend the country have become ruthless and cruel executioners, abusing the people in the city. Within a day, Nanyang City was almost covered with blood, and countless people were killed and injured. Under the crazy killing of Nanyang soldiers, the threat of death seems to hang over every Nanyang people.
Bao's chaos was temporarily suppressed. Lei Bo looked at the people running for their lives in a panic full of fear and made bursts of cold and cruel laughter. Lei Bo's laughter filled Nanyang City, which not only frightened the people of Nanyang, but also made the soldiers under his command feel numb.
Throughout the history, the army that killed the people has never had a good end. Many Nanyang generals, looking at the people who fell in the pool of blood, suddenly felt the sadness of the rabbit and the fox.
Lei Bo suppressed Bao and returned to the county hall in the city with Chen Ji. Chen Lan's face was gloomy and whispered in a low voice.
"General Lei, it's not a way to go on like this. Although Bao will be suppressed today, as there is less and less water storage in the city, these people will become more and more crazy. We can't suppress it by force all the time! And today I see that many soldiers can't bear to kill the people in this city. If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be mutiny!"
Lei Bo was walking. After hearing Chen Lan's words, he suddenly stopped. Lei Bo slowly turned around and shouted coldly.
"Who dares to mutiny! I immediately broke him to the ashes!"
Chen Lan frowned and secretly said that he would be punished sooner or later if he was so tyrannical. Lei Bo narrowed his eyes and seemed to find out Chen Lan's thoughts. He stared at Chen Lan and said again.
