At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were no Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

It's ironic that he defected to Yuan Shao with the idea of ​​avenging Liu Bei, but now he ended up like this!

"Hahaha!... I, Jian Yong, will wait for you below! Hahaha..."

After he was dragged out of the hall, Jian Yong not only shed tears, but laughed wildly with his head raised.

And none of Yuan Shao's subordinates stood up to intercede for him.

Yuan Shao was in a fit of anger, whoever dared to dissuade him would end up just like Jian Yong.

When Jian Yong died, Liu Bei's remnant party, Xia Houlan and others in Yuan Shao's army naturally couldn't survive and were all executed.

……

Chapter 495

Seeing Jian Yong being dragged away, Yuan Shao's anger was still hard to calm down. After a long time of relaxation, Yuan Shao slowly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Now, with Zhuge Liang not around, Yuan Shao put his focus on Xun Chen again.

"So Yizhou sent troops and entered from the rear of Xiangyang. If it wasn't for Mr. Zhuge, then we would have suffered heavy losses and fled back to Yangzhou in embarrassment. Our troops were weakened and it would be difficult to defend."

Glancing at Guo Tu, Xun Chen and others who were ashamed, Yuan Shao continued to speak.

"Now that Lujiang River has been lost, Xunyang is not optimistic. If you just sit idly by, once Xunyang is destroyed, then Hefei will be lost! At that time, my longevity will be in danger! What plan do you have?!"

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, he stopped talking, leaned his body on the seat, and looked at the few people calmly.

Guo Tu opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, and then retreated helplessly.

As for Xun Chen, he also kept silent, with a slumped face. Seeing this, Yuan Shao's anger that had just subsided flared up again.

"What? Are you all dumb?! You all claim to be great talents and famous officials, but why are you pretending to be deaf and dumb when you are in a crisis?!"

Looking at the angry Yuan Shao, Xun Chen sighed inwardly.Then he took a step forward and said to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, at the beginning Mr. Zhuge intended to garrison troops in Hefei, north, to support Shouchun, and south, to support Xunyang! However, Liu Yu's army is too strong and moves quickly. If we attack Xunyang rashly, I'm afraid You will fall into the enemy's trap and lose your troops!"

Yuan Shao was immediately annoyed when he heard the words, pointed at Xun Chen, and said sarcastically.

"Then according to what Mr. You Ruo said, are you going to give up Xunyang's [-] soldiers? Hide in Shouchun and wait for the army to encircle you?! Is this your strategy?!"

Hearing this, Xun Chen shook his head at Yuan Shao and explained.

"My lord, Hefei's soldiers and horses only have the strength to defend the city, and they don't have the sharpness to take the initiative to attack. The high-ranking generals in Xunyang, relying on the danger of Xunyang City, as long as they don't go out of the city to fight, they can defend for ten days. It is easier to defend than finding Yang, as long as Mr. Zhuge defeats Zhou Yu in Wu County, then he can lead his troops back to help!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart moved, and the anger on his face also dissipated a lot.

"If Xunyang City is broken, Jia Xu and Cao Cao attack Hefei together, and Xia Cai's defenders hold our army in check, so what?!"

Hearing this, Xun Chen cupped his hands at Yuan Shao again, and answered.

"If this is the case, my lord can only give up Jiujiang County and Jiangbei County, cross the Yangtze River to guard Moling, and rely on the danger of the Yangtze River to resist the Zhenbei Army! This is also Mr. Zhuge's intention, but Mr. Zhuge didn't explain it."

"call……"

Hearing this, Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and then his face became a little slumped.

It turned out that what Zhuge Liang meant was not just abandoning Jingzhou, but the entire Jiangbei.

At that time, he didn't say anything clearly. He was afraid that if he said this, it would arouse his anger.

If Zhuge Liang had really suggested that, Yuan Shao would have been furious if he had asked himself.

As Xun Chen said just now, it may be difficult for the Xunyang defenders to defend for ten days.

If Xunyang is destroyed and the [-] soldiers and horses are wiped out in the whole army, then his situation will be very dangerous.

"Send someone to send a letter to Gao Gan. If Xunyang City cannot be defended, we will lead troops across the river and go to Feifei along the Yangtze River to defend Cao Cao. When Mr. Zhuge wins Zhou Yu, then we can unite and deal with Cao Cao and Jia Xu!"

Seeing the ordering soldiers running out of the hall quickly, Yuan Shao felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Shouchun, he has governed for many years, how can he be willing to let him give up Shouchun?

However, compared with Shouchun and even the whole Jiangbei, his own life is more important.

As for whether I can stand up, it depends on whether Zhuge Liang can defeat Liu Yu's navy.

……

Where is the navy led by Zhou Yu now?Of course it is the sea.

At this time, he was leading an army of 15 sailors around the coast and sailing in the direction of Shanyin City in Kuaiji County.

As for Zhou Yu leading the army to leave, whether Jiangdu City in Guangling County will be attacked by the main force of Yuan Shao's army stationed in Dantu City, Zhou Yu is not at all worried about this.

With Tai Shici leading a 15 naval army to guard Jiangdu, even if Dantu's 25 naval army is exhausted, even if it loses, Jiangdu City will not be breached in a short time.

And don't forget that the sailors who landed are ordinary infantry.

On land, the Zhenbei Army ruled. If Zhuge Liang took the risk, even if Jiangdu was defeated in the end, Zhuge Liang's soldiers and horses would be few and far between.

At that time, what will he use to resist the 15 navy that Zhou Yu pursues?

Moreover, when he came, his lord had already told him about Zhuge Liang's weakness.

Zhuge Liang is a man with a long-term vision, astronomy and geography, and a strange array of formations. He is proficient in everything.

The disadvantage is that it is safe to use a plan, which can be said to be an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

According to what my lord said, if he wanted to break Zhuge, he would disturb his stability, break his state of mind, and make him stand up and take risks.

As for how to get rid of it, Liu Yu didn't explain it to him, and Zhou Yu also understood it very well.

If you tell him everything about how to fight against the enemy, what use is there for Zhou Yu? !

Zhuge Liang is called a rare talent in a big man by his lord, so I must fight him!

As for how to make Zhuge Liang lose his stability and break his mood, Zhou Yu already had a countermeasure.

Zhou Yu only hoped that Zhuge Liang would not be mad at himself to death.

After defeating Zhuge Liang, helping his own family to rule the world fairly, and becoming famous himself, that is when he will marry his sweetheart!

"Report..."

Just as Zhou Yu bowed his head in thought, a navy soldier ran to Zhou Yu's side, then knelt down on one knee and reported to Zhou Yuhui.

"Commander, our army has entered the bay, and we are still three hundred miles away from Shanyin City!"

The soldier's words awakened Zhou Yu, who was in deep thought, and when the soldier finished speaking, Zhou Yu gave instructions to the soldier without looking back.

"Tell General Gan Ning, General Zhao Yun and General Ma Chao to stop at the shore near Shangyu City and order the army to rest!"

"promise!"

The soldiers led away, leaving behind Zhou Yu who was standing on the Zhenbei ship, facing the sea breeze, looking at the vast sea.

"Zhuge Liang? You bear the name of Crouching Dragon, and if you have you, the world will be safe? Oh! These are all falsehoods!"

Zhou Yu muttered something to himself, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke again.

"Let me, Zhou Yu, see what kind of abilities you, who are often talked about by the lord, have!"

……

In Shanyin City, the prefecture of Kuaiji, Zhuge Liang was in the study of the government office.

Slightly bowed and leaned over, holding a pen in his hand, drawing something on a piece of paper.

Just when Zhuge Liang was concentrating on drawing the last stroke, a loud shout came from outside the hall.

"Report...Mr. Zhuge, the enemy has been found in Shangyu City! Visually, there are 15 troops and ten buildings and boats! There are countless boats and small boats!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, the smile on his face widened a lot, and he only heard him speak.

"Is it finally here? I, Zhuge Liang, have been waiting for a long time!"

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang put down the pen, then picked up the painting, handed it to the soldier, and ordered.

"Put the painting in the courtyard to dry, and when the ink is dry, send it to my residence!"

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang left the study and walked towards the government hall.

……

Chapter 496 Attacking Shangyu

Shanyin City is the seat of Kuaiji County, and Shangyu City is a hundred miles east of Shanyin City.

When Zhou Yu arrived near Shangyu, he did not directly send troops to attack Shanyin City, but chose to attack Shangyu.

But according to the film department's report, there are about [-] defenders in Shangyu City, which is beyond Zhou Yu's expectation.

According to Zhou Yu's thinking, Zhuge Liang's main force is in Shanyin City, and he will not divide his troops to Shangyu.

After all, compared to Shangyu, Shanyin City is much more important than Shangyu City, whether it is a strategic location or guarding Wu County.

It is better to gather all the troops together and defend Shanyin. The two sides have similar forces. If Zhou Yu wants to break through Shanyin, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu's heart moved, Zhuge Liang guessed that he would land in Shangyu, so he sent troops to guard Shangyu, and the distance between the two cities was less than a hundred miles.

If the battle is stalemate, if Zhuge Liang is ambush near Shangyu City, then he will suffer from the enemy.

Moreover, the naval army led by Zhou Yu was in a hurry all the way, and the morale of the army was exhausted, so the situation was not good for him.

"Report..."

Just as Zhou Yu bowed his head in thought, a messenger soldier suddenly ran to Zhou Yu's side, then knelt down on one knee and reported to Zhou Yuhui.

"Report! Zhou Shuai! Yuyao City also found a large group of people, no less than [-] people!"

Zhou Yu frowned suddenly when he heard this. Yuyao City is to the east of Shangyu, and the distance from Shangyu is about a hundred miles.

Yuyao actually had a garrison, and there were 15 people, plus the [-] soldiers and horses from Shanyin City, a total of [-] troops.

This Zhuge Liang actually scattered his soldiers and horses in three cities, and each city had [-] troops, which happened to surround the coast.

The three cities depend on each other. No matter which one Zhou Yu attacks, the other two cities will quickly support him.

"This Zhuge Liang is really steady and steady, taking every step carefully, and he actually set up three defenses on the coast!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and then gave instructions to Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and others.

"General Gan Ning, lead [-] soldiers and horses, and set up camp ten miles in front of Shangyu City! General Zhao Yun, lead [-] soldiers and horses, and set up camp ten miles east of Shangyu. General Ma Chao, you also lead [-] soldiers and horses, and set up camp in Shangyu City." Set up camp ten miles west of the city!"

After Zhao Yun and Ma Chao heard the words, they surrendered their orders, and there was no unnecessary nonsense, while Gan Ning asked carelessly.

"Shuai Zhou, Zhuge Liang has set up three lines of defense. Why don't our army directly attack Shanyin City, and try to capture Shanyin City before the other two troops arrive, and capture Zhuge Liang alive!"

Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said, "I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, the warships on the back will be burned! Zhuge Liang didn't stop our army in the bay because our warships were stronger There are too many of them, and Shanyin City is not so easy to break through."

Gan Ning nodded unwillingly when he heard the words, then turned and left.

That night, Shangyu City was quiet, Zhou Yu was not busy attacking the city, and the guards of Shangyu City did not venture out of the city to attack.

On the second day, Gan Ning led [-] soldiers and horses to the city of Shangyu.

Afterwards, they began to assemble catapults and other siege equipment. After everything was ready, a group of soldiers began to line up to attack the city.

Because the catapults are too large and have many parts, only large ships can carry them. Therefore, the number of catapults is not many, only twenty.

However, although the number of catapults was only twenty, the huge body still brought a lot of deterrence to the soldiers defending the city.

The number of soldiers attacking and defending the city was similar, so it would undoubtedly be even more difficult to break through Shangyu City with these twenty catapults.

However, things are not absolute. There are many factors that determine the victory of a siege battle, and the number of people is an important factor.

But the morale, weapons and equipment of the two armies, and even the leading generals, also determine the balance of victory.

Just after the catapult was assembled, Shangyu City upstairs also responded.

I saw soldiers holding large shields lined up to the top of the city, and then came to the front and stood the large shields on the ground.

Seeing this, Gan Ning raised the corner of his mouth, showing a cruel smile, and then waved his hand.

"Buzz..."

There was a sound of piercing through the air, and dozens of stones the size of a human head rose into the air, and then fell at a high speed. The target was the defenders on the top of the city.

"Bang bang bang..."

Although some stones were missed, there were still more than a dozen boulders that fell on the shield impartially, making loud noises.

Although Yuan Shao's weapons and armor are not as good as Zhenbei Army, his weapon making technology is still much better than Goguryeo.
