Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World
Chapter 262 New Crisis
In October of the year 201 AD, the autumn wind blew across the land, bringing with it a hint of desolation. In this turbulent period, wars raged and the situation became increasingly complex.
During the time that Suo Chao was away, Cao's army launched several fierce attacks on Xuzhou, and General Yue Fei also took action many times.
Cao Cao appointed Han Xin as the general. Han Xin lived up to his reputation as a military genius. He commanded the army well and led Cao's army to capture the three counties of Langya, Pengcheng and Donghai, putting Xuzhou in a state of emergency.
"I have the military genius Han Xin! Great things can be accomplished!" Cao Cao stroked his beard and praised impromptu.
On the battlefield, Han Xin was wearing armor and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He observed every detail of the battle and decisively issued orders. Under his command, the soldiers rushed towards Lu Bu's army like a tide, with great momentum.
As a military strategist, Guo Jia faced off against Sun Bin from a distance, and the battle of wits unfolded silently on the battlefield.
Guo Jia cleverly used a strategy of sowing discord to try to break up the alliance between Suo Chao and Sun Ce. In his tent, holding a wine jug, he paced back and forth, thinking, a cunning glint in his eyes, as he planned every move.
The Jiangdong army, alienated by Guo Jia's scheme, failed to send reinforcements to Xuzhou in time, which infuriated Lü Bu and the alliance between the two armies ended in turmoil.
Lü Bu stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, his brow furrowed and an angry expression on his face. He gripped his weapon tightly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Jiangdong's actions:
"Jiangdong rats, unworthy of our association! This battle was fought so pathetically! Is there no other solution?"
At this moment, Sun Bin, dressed in white, came out of the tent on a wheelbarrow and said with a smile:
"General, don't be angry! We still have a chance." His eyes were clear and firm, revealing a reassuring power.
"Oh! I wonder what good plan the military advisor has?" Lu Bu said with a gleam in his eyes.
Sun Bin raised his head slightly and looked towards the distant sky, as if he was thinking about something. His eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate the clouds and see the future battle situation.
After a moment, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the general, his eyes full of confidence:
"General, although we are currently facing some difficulties, this does not mean that we have lost. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and every detail may become the key to turning the tide."
In response to Guo Jia's plan, Sun Bin once again adopted the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao. He sent a letter to General Yue Fei, ordering him to attack Cao's Yuzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou.
After receiving Sun Bin's letter, Yue Fei immediately began deploying his troops. He appointed Fa Zheng as his military advisor and ordered Zhang Xiu and Borshu to march out from Nanyang County with 10 troops to attack Yingchuan and Runan counties in Yuzhou respectively.
"The military situation is urgent and we cannot delay any longer!" Yue Fei issued a series of combat orders, and the front-line combat troops and the rear-line baggage troops were gathering in full swing.
Yue Fei was in the tent with a serious expression. He was discussing the battle plan with Jia Xu. He gestured on the map with his fingers, his eyes revealing firm determination.
At the same time, Yue Fei appointed Xu Shu as his military advisor and ordered Generals Chen Tang and Agui to lead 10 troops each to attack Zhongshan and Bohai. Cao Cao's army dispatched Generals Xiahou Dun and Batu, each with 8 troops to meet the enemy.
On the battlefield of Bohai, Cao Cao's general Batu was extremely brave. He rode his steed and brandished his weapon, unstoppable, and Ah Gui was no match for him.
Chen Tang was extremely anxious when he heard the news. He frowned and thought about countermeasures. He then sent his vanguard general Ashina She'er to relieve General Agui's crisis.
Agui and Ashina She'er were both powerful generals in Gongsun Zan's army. After Gongsun Zan's defeat and self-immolation, both generals surrendered to Suo Chao's army and served under Chen Tang.
Upon receiving the order, Ashina She'er immediately led his troops to the battlefield and joined forces with General Agui. With a determined gaze, he fought bravely. Together, they finally repelled Batu's army.
Generals Yue Fei and Ran Min set out from Henan Yin and Henei County respectively, sending out 30 troops to attack Jiyin County and Dongping State respectively. They were eager to open up the lifeline connecting Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Yue Fei was riding on a war horse with a huge army behind him. He looked ahead with a sense of mission in his heart.
Ran Min, with a determined look on his face, brandished his weapons, urging his soldiers forward. The two armies advanced with unstoppable force, and Cao's army was unable to withstand their advance.
Although Cao's army sent generals such as Wu Qi, Le Jin, and Cheng Yu to fight, they were still unable to withstand the offensive of Yue Fei's army. In the end, Jiyin County and Dongping State were captured by Yue Fei's army.
Huang Zhong was the first governor of Jiyin County, commanding an army of 10; Yue Fei was stationed in Dongping State, commanding an army of 10; Ran Min was stationed in Henei County, commanding an army of 10
After Huang Zhong was transferred to be the prefect of Jiyin County, he and Lu Bu's army stationed in Xia Pi City formed a pincer attack on Pengcheng State in Xuzhou.
Huang Zhong stood on the city wall, gazing at Cao Cao's army in the distance, his eyes filled with vigilance. Meanwhile, Lü Bu was actively organizing his troops in the city, ready to respond to any enemy attack.
Zhang Mei Niang, stationed in Taiyuan Commandery, collaborated with Chen Tang's army to launch a fierce attack on Xiahou Dun's forces in Changshan. Her command on the battlefield was unwavering, her presence imbued with majesty.
Although Chen Tang suffered some losses in the attack on Bohai County, he succeeded in conquering Zhongshan State in Ji Province. Once the gates of Ji Province were opened, Chen Tang had to be cautious in the face of Wei Qing's arrival.
Zhang Xiu's army also won the battle of Yingchuan County. On the battlefield, Zhang Xiu led his soldiers to fight bravely, his face was covered with sweat and dust, but his eyes were full of excitement.
However, the battle between Cao's army and Suo Chao's army was fought with equal victories and defeats, and the situation remained tense. In order to eliminate the threat to Yuzhou and Jizhou, Cao Cao launched an alliance with Sun Ce.
"Bofu, in the face of great cause, even brothers can kill each other, let alone sworn brothers?" Zhou Yu shouted at the top of his lungs.
Seeing that Cao's army was in danger, Sun Ce, along with his military advisors Sun Wu and Zhou Yu, analyzed the situation and pointed out the crucial point that the lips and teeth would be cold if they were separated. Sun Ce finally agreed to join forces with Cao Cao to resist Suo Chao's camp.
In order to deal with the threat from Eastern Wu, Yue Fei sent military advisors Xu Shu and Yuwen Tai to garrison Nanyang County, and Zhang Xiu and Fa Zheng to stay in Yingchuan County.
Xu Shu was in Nanyang Commandery, carefully observing the situation and pondering countermeasures, while Yuwen Tai was actively training soldiers and strengthening defenses.
Yan Yan, who was stationed in Shangdang County, had been feinting to attack the State of Zhao in Jizhou. They led their soldiers on a long journey towards their target.
Cao's army was in crisis on many fronts and had to temporarily postpone its plan to capture Xuzhou. Sun Bin's strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao began to show results.
Suo Chao's army and Cao's army fought for more than a year. Jiangdong's strong participation made the front line face many difficulties. The situation was like a complicated chess game, and one move could affect the whole body.
In Hanzhou, Taishi Ci hosted a banquet for the national teacher Suo Chao, who was accompanied by Murong Ke, the naval commander of Hanzhou.
"General Ziyi, General Ke. Thank you for your hard work over the years." Suo Chao said with a smile and gratitude in his eyes.
"Master, this is what we should do." Taishi Ci replied respectfully, his eyes revealing respect for Suo Chao.
"Yes. Imperial Master, we have been training our navy extensively on the Wo Island, and we have seen initial success." Murong Ke said excitedly, a proud smile on his face.
"Okay! I want to personally experience the style of the navy someday." Suo Chao said with a smile, a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
The three generals discussed the new situation in the world and their insights on the next strategy.
"My dear generals, the Xianbei occupying Buyeo and Goguryeo must be eliminated. However, the front lines of other states are also in danger. Cao Cao and Sun Ce have formed an alliance, so we have to be on guard." Suo Chao frowned and said seriously, his heart full of worries.
"Imperial Master, how should we defend against the enemy?" Murong Ke asked anxiously, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"General Taishi Ci will be stationed in Hanzhou and help General Chen Tang defend Youzhou to prevent the Xianbei from invading." Suo Chao said firmly. He looked at Taishi Ci with eyes full of trust.
"I obey your command!" Taishi Ci saluted solemnly, his face full of determination.
"General Murong Ke, you will set out from the water, lead 3 troops, and feint an attack on Qingzhou, the heartland of Cao's army." Suo Chao turned to Murong Ke and said.
"I obey your command!" Murong Ke answered loudly, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he had already seen victory on the battlefield.
At this time, Wei Qing and Wu Qi were stationed in Jizhou and Yuzhou respectively, while Cao Cao was personally on the front lines in Yuzhou. There was also a threat from Jiangdong in the direction of Yizhou and Nanyang Commandery.
Suo Chao had to postpone the task of pacifying the Xianbei. Although he felt a little regretful, he was well aware of the urgency of the situation. He immediately packed his bags and prepared to rush to the front lines in Yizhou and Jingzhou.
At the same time, Suo Chao also sent letters to Liu Yuan stationed in Zhuyazhou and Tuoba Tao entrenched in Yizhou, asking them to take the opportunity to harass Jiaozhou and Yangzhou.
The alliance between Cao Cao and Sun Ce caught Suo Chao off guard. Suo Chao wanted to consolidate the frontier defenses as soon as possible to clear the way for the next expedition to the east to subjugate the Xianbei.
