Three Kingdoms: Beginning To Replace Liu Bei And Marry The Mi Family

Seven days later.

Liu Wu stayed with Zhao Yun and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to sit in Qiao County to supervise the transportation of grain and grass transferred from Xuzhou and Yangzhou for military supplies.

Liu Wu, in his capacity as General Qi Wangjia, commanded the 60,000 coalition army composed of Qi Jun and Cao Jun, marching all the way westward, heading towards Xudu in a mighty way.

Wherever the army passed by, counties and counties such as Xinping, Chenxian and other counties, which had already fallen to Yuan Shao's bitterness, all turned against the wind.

Less than ten days after the troops were dispatched, Liu Wu's army had already approached Xinji City, a hundred miles east of Xudu.

Xudu, the imperial palace.

Yuan Shaogao sat on the dragon seat that originally belonged to the emperor, but the dragon seat was removed and replaced with an ordinary couch.

"Then Cao Cao has abdicated to Liu Wu, and forced the emperor to make him a general to assist in military and state affairs."

"Liu Wu is leading 60,000 Liu-Cao coalition troops, rushing to Xudu, and the cities along the way are waiting for the wind. The enemy has captured Xinji, and Xu is less than a hundred miles away from me."

"The imperial edict issued by Liu Wu in the name of the Son of Heaven has spread to all states and counties in the Central Plains, and many counties and counties that had previously surrendered have declared to obey Liu Wu's magistrate!"

Ju Shou under the steps read out bad news one after another.

Yuan Shao's face was livid, and his eyes were burning with anger, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Sudden.

He clapped the case and scolded angrily: "Liu Wu, what are you? You are just a poor boy pretending to be a member of Liu's clan. Are you worthy to replace Cao Cao and be my enemy!"

Angry and arrogant curses echoed in the army.

All the ministers were stunned, all bowed their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Yuan Shao suppressed his anger, and asked: "How is our army damaged in battle, and how many soldiers and horses are there?"

"Reporting to my father, our army lost nearly 30,000 people in the first battle of Qiao County. In addition to the loss of soldiers and horses during the siege of the city for one month, the total loss was more than 40,000 people."

"After we collect the defeated soldiers, there will be at least 150,000 soldiers available."

Yuan Tan hurriedly stepped forward to report.

The anger on Yuan Shao's face turned into arrogance, and he snorted coldly: "That kid Liu Wu only has 60,000 soldiers and horses. My lord's 150,000 troops are still twice as big as him, so it's easy to destroy him!"

"My lord is right."

Feng Ji hurriedly agreed: "In the battle of Qiao County, Liu Wu just won by luck. He was so arrogant that he wanted to take back Xudu. The lord's army of 150,000 will confront him head-on. Rolling!"

This remark made Yuan Shao's face even more proud.

"Yuan Tu's words are wrong."

"Although our army was caught off guard in the first battle in Qiao County, it also showed that Liu Wu used his troops like a god and was extremely good at winning.

"After this battle, we must never underestimate him, otherwise we will suffer another big loss!"

Tian Feng looked vigilant, and sang against Feng Ji.

"Yuan Hao is right."

"Our army has been newly defeated, and the enemy's spirit is in full swing. At present, it is right to avoid its edge and not confront it head-on." "

"I think the Lord should gather the main force, stick to Xudu and wait for work, and at the same time divide the troops, from Qingzhou Yanzhou to attack Xuzhou, to attack Liu Wu's flank."

"Then Liu Wu has few soldiers, so he must not be able to take care of each other from head to tail. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he still has no time to spare and is in a mess."

"As long as the enemy's army is in chaos, openings will appear. At that time, the lord seizes the opportunity and advances to defeat it. He will surely win in one battle."

Jushou also didn't advocate a decisive battle with Liu Wu, and presented a safe strategy for dividing troops.

The voice fell.

Yuan Tan jumped up and said sharply: "That Liu Wu is coming so fiercely, all the states and counties in the Central Plains are watching. If father insists on not fighting, will he show the world that he is afraid of Liu Wu, the states and counties that have surrendered? I don’t know how many will turn against Liu Wu again, and the consequences of this, have you and Jugong thought about it!”

Ju Shou was at a loss for words.

"Tan'er is right!"

As soon as Yuan Shao shot the case, he said angrily: "The government must not be on the defensive, this battle must be fought, the government must use all its troops to go east to Xudu, and also wipe out 60,000 enemy troops in one battle, and kill Liu Wu and Cao Cao. Kill in one fell swoop!"

As soon as he uttered such bold words, he was suddenly agitated and coughed involuntarily.

Seeing this, Feng Ji took advantage of the situation to wink at Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan understood, and cupped his hands generously: "Father is not in good health, so don't move lightly. Xu Du is in charge of the overall situation. My son is willing to lead the army eastward and cut off Liu Wu's dog's head for my father!"

The voice fell.

Ju Shou said anxiously: "Although the eldest son has a lot of martial arts, but Liu Wu is the god of soldiers. If Han Xin is resurrected, I think that if he really wants to fight Liu Wu, he should be the master himself to lead the army.

The implication of his words was that he believed that Yuan Tanwu Lu was far inferior to Liu Wu.

Yuan Tan's face darkened, he stared at him and said: "Ju Gonghe, what do you mean by that, you are mocking me, isn't that Liu Wu's opponent?"

"Young Master misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just..."

For a while, I don't know how to explain.

Yuan Tan said proudly: "That Liu Wu is indeed deceitful in using troops, but the terrain around Xinji is open, he has no room for deceit at all, our army is far stronger than that Liu Wu, my son just needs to follow the steps and crush him head-on, and he is not afraid of breaking Don't want him!"

Ju Shou was at a loss for words.

Yuan Tan's words also made Yuan Shao's worries remain in his heart, and the smoke disappeared.

"#7!"

Yuan Shao took the case and said happily: "Tan'er, I will give you 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry for the battle as my father, and I will sit in Xudu as my father, waiting for your success!"

Yuan Tan was overjoyed and said with emotion: "Father, don't worry, within five days, my son will sacrifice the heads of Liu Wu!"

The decision was made, Yuan Tan gathered 110,000 cavalry that day, with Gao Lan Yanliang as the majority, and Feng Ji followed the army to plan, and rushed to Xinji in a mighty manner.

At dusk, Xinji City.

In the main hall of the county government, the aroma of wine filled the air.

Liu Wu was drinking with Cao Cao while discussing the recovery of Xudu.

"It's Xudu within a hundred miles. What does my father-in-law think Yuan Shao will do next?"

Liu Wu refills a glass of wine for Cao Cao and asks.

Cao Cao, who was in the wheelchair, took a sip of wine and said, "If I were Yuan Shao, I would stick to Xu Buzhan, and at the same time divide my troops to invade Xuzhou, so that you can't look after each other. In this way, you can take advantage of the large number of troops."

Liu Wu said with a sneer: "I really feel that Yuan Shao will not stick to it. He will definitely raise his army and come to a decisive battle with us."

Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "How can a good son-in-law decide?"

"This Duke Yuan holds the land of the seven prefectures and two hundred thousand soldiers in his hands. He thinks that he is invincible and that it is easy to conquer the world."

"But I don't want to, Qiaoxian fled in embarrassment in the first battle, and lost all face."

"Father-in-law thought that with Yuan Shao's conceited and arrogant character, he would be able to swallow such a thing, and would be beaten by me, and he would shrink back and not fight, making the world laugh at him?"

Liu Wu asked back.

Cao Cao's expression froze, as if he had realized something.

At this time.

Zhang Liao entered the account, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, the scout just sent back a message that Yuan Shao has sent his son Yuan Tan to command 10,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry, rushing towards Ji County!"

All the generals in the tent were slightly shocked.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Wu in admiration, and laughed at himself: "I have known Yuan Shao for decades, but I don't understand Yuan Shao as well as my son-in-law. I am ashamed of my son-in-law's ability to read people's hearts.

~Father-in-law has won the prize. "

Liu Wu smiled lightly and waved his hands and said, "Since Yuan Tan is here to die, let's pass on the order to tell the soldiers to get ready for a decisive battle with the poisonous army outside Xinji city tomorrow!"

As soon as this remark came out, half of the generals in the tent were taken aback.

Zhang Liao, Tai Shici and other generals of Liu Wuyuan's subordinates had long been accustomed to him winning more with less, so they naturally took it for granted.

Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and other generals of Cao Cao's troops did not change their colors.

Cao Ren hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, Yuan's army is far more numerous than mine, and there are 10,000 cavalry. The strength is so disparate. Isn't it rash to fight head-on?"

"Yes, my son-in-law."

Cao Cao was also worried, and said: "I know that you use soldiers like a god, but this battle is different from your surprise attack on Qiao County, it is a direct confrontation with Yuan Jun, especially Yuan Tan also brought 10,000 cavalry, so don't underestimate the enemy. .”

Liu Wu took a sip of his wine and said lightly, "Father-in-law, don't worry, this king never fights uncertain battles. Since he dares to fight Yuan Jun decisively, he is sure to defeat Yuan Tan's 10,000 cavalry!"

Cao Cao's expression froze, and a trace of suspicion could not help flashing in his eyes.

"Jia heard that under His Highness King Qi's command, there was a Beiwei army that defeated Yuan's cavalry in Qingzhou.

"His Highness's trump card against Yuan Tan's cavalry is this Beiwei army?"

Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Liu Wu said with a smile: "Feng Xiao also knew that this king backed Wei (won Zhao) army, yes, this king indeed has such an elite team, which once defeated Yuan Xi's cavalry in Qingzhou."

Guo Jia went on to say: "This Beiwei army is indeed the best in the world, but since it has fought against Yuan Jun before, Yuan Tan will definitely be on guard. Jia is afraid that if he fights again this time, His Highness' Beiwei army will not be able to act as a surprise soldier again. , Your Highness, please be cautious."

"Fong Xiao, you reminded me."

Liu Wu applauded at first, but then changed the subject: "However, this king's trump card to defeat Yuan Jun's cavalry this time is not to back Wei Jun.

Guo Jia was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Cao Cao wondered: "Son-in-law, do you have another enemy-destroying army?"

"It's a matter of victory or defeat. Before the war, it's better not to say anything."

"Tomorrow's decisive battle will naturally be decided, and my father-in-law will know when the time comes."

Liu Wu is unwilling to reveal the secret, but his brows are full of confidence that he is determined to win.

Cao Cao's thoughts raced and he wanted to break his scalp, but he couldn't figure out what kind of tricks his son-in-law had to defeat 10,000 Yuan Jun's iron cavalry.

"My son-in-law is unpredictable in the use of soldiers, and he has never lost a single battle in his life!"

"Since he is so confident, he must have an absolute chance of winning. I just have to believe in him!"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said happily: "Okay, son-in-law, you have confidence, and I will believe in you. Tomorrow we will have a showdown with Yuan Tan!".
