Chapter 534 Bingzhou Break, capture Li Ru
He suffered a little loss on the battlefield, and Weilan didn't pay attention to it. He didn't expect that he could completely cut off the other party's grain and fodder with only 300 cavalry. As long as Yuan Shao's heart was escorted by a large number of soldiers every time he transported grain and fodder, there would be no success in attacking the grain and fodder. At best, he could only make the Jizhou army unable to survive. .
However, the Jizhou army can come up with such a plan to put the infantry in the carriage and make it seamless, which is indeed not to be underestimated. Weilan also understands that there are powerful figures in the Jizhou army.
The battlefield of Bingzhou is coming to an end, and the same is true of Xuzhou. Liu Bei is not the Xuzhou Mu, who has been sealed by the imperial court. When the state government has just been besieged, the letters from all over Xuzhou who defected to Cao's army are overwhelming. When Liu Bei gains power, they may be able to exert some strength, but when they arrive at Liu Bei's building, they will be overwhelmed. They don't mind kicking again. For the sake of their own glory and the interests of the family, they can only sacrifice Liu Bei.
For the officials who defected to him, Cao Cao didn't care about the past and was rewarded. Since then, more officials' hearts have fluctuated. Liu Bei is also famous for treating people with benevolence and righteousness in Xuzhou. At the beginning, the people who followed him from Yuzhou can be said to be his true fans. They once shared adversity together and escaped the pursuit of Cao Cao's army. Naturally I won't abandon Liu Bei.
In the Jiangdong Water Army, Jiang Qin looked indifferent. At this time, the weather was still a little cold, but his upper body was **, and his horizontal muscles appeared. The soldiers not far away cast envious eyes. Since the incident of the water military camp on that day, after years of efforts, Jiang Qin wanted to kill alone in the Jiangdong Water Army, for the beginning. The dead brother took revenge, but the reason in his heart stopped his impulse. Instead, he suppressed his inner hatred and turned to the Jiangdong Water Army. Because of his bravery, he was soon promoted to the general of the three fastboats. In every battle, Jiang Qin was a pioneer, not afraid of the streamers, and was deeply loved by the Jiangdong Water Army.
However, Jiang Qin gave everyone the impression that he was taciturn. As long as he could not say anything, he would never say one more word. Since then, a version of the Jiangdong Army about the taciturn general appeared. However, about Jiang Qin's predecessor, he can still know one or two through some means. After all, these things are not through intelligence. What can be covered up by the Internet is that Jiang Qin was a water thief before, and then after the Dazhai was broken, he rationally chose the back way and became a statement that Jiangdong people were willing to accept. Regarding his origin, Jiang Qin did not mention anything except for what he told Sun Ce on the same day.
Zhou Tai's situation is not much better. He was confusedly arrested and confusedly removed the poison on his body, but he went to the Jingzhou water army. Cai Mao learned that the leader of the water thief across the river was captured and came to check it in person. In fact, the poison of that day was not difficult to remove. It's expensive in a fast word. If it can't be quick. If it is solved, Jia Rong's symptoms will appear.
Seeing that Zhou Tai's physique was majestic and not like ordinary people, Cai Mao was overjoyed and secretly ordered people to explore Zhou Zhou Tai's mouth. As the original leader of the water army, he did not need to mention his own skills. If it could be used for himself, it would be a great help for the Jingzhou water army.
The two brothers, one became a general of the Jiangdong Water Army and the other became a soldier of the Jingzhou Water Army.
There are many personnel in the Jiangdong Army of the Jingzhou Army, and the power is staggered. Even the Xianlian Pavilion can't find out all the information clearly. Perhaps when Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin grow up to a certain extent, which is enough to attract the attention of the intelligence organization personnel, the things about them will be excavated one by one.
After Zhang Fei was captured, there was no trace of treatment that prisoners should have. Every day was good wine and meat, and the shackles on his body were also ordered to be removed by Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao obviously underestimated the affection between Zhang Fei and Liu Bei. Zhang Fei disdained these small means and was dedicated to death. The food did not refuse, nor did he give Cao Cao a good look on his face.
Cao Cao Cao couldn't get the result he wanted. He had to let the generals take turns to persuade him. Some counselors directly persuaded him and killed Zhang Fei. He cut off Liu Bei's right arm and could not keep it for himself. They were all rejected by Cao Cao. However, all famous generals could not be persuaded in a few words. The more they were unyielding. The more it is worth Cao Cao to persuade him to surrender. Such a person will be loyal in the future.
The state of Xuzhou was surrounded by the Cao army. In the siege of the city since March, the Xuzhou army has been completely reduced to the trend. The Cao army, which has experienced hundreds of battles, is not comparable to the Xuzhou army, especially the literary ministers and generals under Liu Bei. There are no excellent think tanks and intelligent generals. After the loss of Chen Deng, everything is basically It was all done by Liu Bei himself.
And Cao Cao Cao's hand has the talent of seeking the country such as Xun You Xun Yu. The generals have the brothers of the Xia Hou family and the Cao family. Xu Zhu Dianwei is a peerless and fierce general with a lot of talents. Even the strong Xiliang Army can't compare with Cao's talents. One is to rely on the poor scholars, and the other is to rely on the scholars of the world, which is not a starting point. .
State governance is besieged, and officials from all over Xuzhou have become panicked. As the saying goes, the wall is pushed by everyone. Even if Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous, few people will choose to be brave and righteous in the face of life and death. Following Cao is a smooth path. Following Liu Bei is a worrying fate. Most officials chose to go to Cao's army when the state is besieged. The emperor nominally belongs to Yanzhou and belongs to Cao Cao's rule. These officials surrendered without any great psychological pressure. Anyway, Xuzhou is also the Liu family, and he did not surrender. This idea was circulated and received a response from many officials.
There are 60,000 troops in the city. It can be said that all of Liu Bei's savings over the years have been marching east and west for more than ten years. Once he was besieged by Cao's army, Liu Bei had mixed feelings in the face of the betrayal of officials.
The people in the city are quite cooperative with Liu Bei. Perhaps it was Cao Jun's style that made the people completely lose confidence in them. Thinking of the bloody massacres in those years, it makes people feel chilled.
Compared with the situation in Xuzhou, the situation in Youzhou is much better. Under the leadership of Xian Yufu, the seemingly shaky Guangyang County has survived under the fierce attacks of the Jizhou army, especially a big victory in Dai County, which made the defenders excited. The fear of the Youzhou army in the face of the Jizhou army in those years is gone. Returning, the county where Weilan was located also attracted the attention of most of the Youzhou soldiers. Unconsciously, Weilan became a famous general of Youzhou.
Ji County used to be the state's seat. The city was high and the walls were thick, and it was rare for Yufu to keep it wholeheartedly. It was difficult for Yuan Shao to move forward half a step forward. The same was true for Xu You in Dai County. However, he defeated Weilan's cavalry and got the approval of Yuan Shao. After that, the movement was not much. He had 20,000 people, and there were many defenders in the city, and most of them in Weilan's hands. The brave Wuhuan people fought bravely and were not afraid to die. It was a rare thing in their eyes to step on the corpses of their companions. Even if the 20,000 Jizhou army and the garrison in the city started a battle, they did not dare to say that they were fully sure of winning.
The turtle-shelled Jizhou army camp also made Weilan feel helpless. He had never seen the Han people's camp defend so closely.
It has been more than three months since the Xiliang Army went to war, and the last line of defense in Bingzhou is about to collapse under the fierce offensive.
There are traces of boulder smashed on the wall. Jia Rong is a little resentful why he chose to strengthen these walls with cement. It was Li Ru who got a bargain. If it were an ordinary wall, under such a strong attack, it would have collapsed long ago.
The boulders attacked day and night. The Thunderbolt car was damaged a lot under this intensity of attack. The carpenters who followed the army worked day and night. The soldiers of the army also began to polish the stones in their spare time. If you want to improve the accuracy, the shape of the stone should also become regular.
Li Ru's face is pale, and there is no demeanor of the former Taishan Mountain collapsed on his face and his face unchanged. He is busy inside and outside. It can be said that he is worried. Duan Wei and Xu Rong's death in the battle have a great impact on the morale of the defenders in the city. The two have always been representatives of the Bingzhou Army, especially Duan Wei. No matter what their own martial arts are, the means of unifying the army are indeed The top, especially the cavalry fighting, long-range raids, otherwise Lv Bu's cavalry composed of Xianbei people would not have suffered such a big loss in his hands.
In such a situation, Li Ru does not have the slightest remorse. The more trouble Li Ru can bring to Jia Rong, the more happy Li Ru feels in his heart. Every time he falls asleep these days, Dong Zhuo always appears in front of him. The body is a little bloated and the big fat man who trusts him, with his voice and smile are still in front of him.
Knowing that Jinyang is difficult to preserve, Li Ru will not take Jia Rong cheaply. The merchants in the city are suffering from inhuman treatment almost every day, that is, constantly collecting grain and grass money. In order to save their lives, merchants have to temporarily compromise, and even ordinary people do not let go. When the last bit of food was requisitioned by the Bingzhou army. Under the great pressure of survival, the prosperous man was still pitted by the Yellow Turban Army, not to mention a small Jinyang City.
Li Ru was not defeated in the hands of the Xiliang Army, but in the hands of the people and merchants in the city. Driven by more than 100 people, he grew rapidly like a snowball. Some of the soldiers patrolling in the city also joined in it. The heart of the army was scattered, and the army and the people were in turmoil together. How powerful it was. The stones and other debris blocked in the gate were Move away and welcome the Xiliang army into the city.
Looking at Li Ru, who was tied up by five flowers, Jia Rong didn't know what to do.
"Wen You, you are also a character for a while. What else needs to be explained?" Jia Rong asked.
Standing in the lobby of the state government, the dense civilian generals of the Xiliang Army glared at Li Ru, who stood proudly in the middle. He was not the person in front of him. Why did the Xiliang Army pay such a price? For the rebels, the punishment of the Xiliang Army has always been the most severe. It is not shameful to lose the battle, and the most hateful thing is the surrenderers.
"I, Li Ru, have been fighting for a lifetime. I didn't expect such an end in the end. I hope the general can be kind to the people of the Confucian family! What's more, he can be buried next to the lord's grave after death, and he is still willing to serve the lord," Li Ru said indifferently, without the fear he should have when he was about to die.
