The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 455 Great Tang Famous General vs Great Ming Famous General
Yuan Shu was caught in a dilemma, and there was a disagreement between civil and military opinions.The generals persuaded him to proclaim himself emperor, but the civil officials refused to let him proclaim himself emperor.The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.

But although Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor from the bottom of his heart, he was not overwhelmed. What Yan Xiang, Yang Hong and others said was indeed reasonable.Once proclaimed emperor, the princes from all walks of life really attacked him, wouldn't he, Yuan Shu, take advantage of the princes around him.First, proclaiming himself emperor hit the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and second, his territory was divided up, which strengthened other princes.

Fortunately, civil and military opinions differed. If it was like Yuan Shao, several counselors under his command disagreed, and Yuan Shu really didn't know what to do.But now the three advisers who rely heavily on him have persuaded him not to become emperor. Compared with generals, he is still willing to trust advisers who have read a lot.

Yuan Shu held back his ambition to become emperor for the time being, looked at Yan Xiang and the other three and said, "You don't agree with me being emperor, and how should you deal with the emperor's attack?"

Yang Hong cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to repeat the sixteen words I said earlier, cultivate benevolent government internally, tie princes externally, rectify military discipline, and develop people's livelihood!
The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.The people are profit-seeking people, the lord only needs to promulgate a few benevolent policies, and the people will be grateful and grateful, and the hearts of the people will naturally return.

Join the princes outside, and the lord looks at the surrounding area of ​​Nanyang. Once the emperor takes Nanyang, Yingchuan County in Yuzhou will be surrounded by Henan County and Nanyang. At that time, not only Liu Biao, but also Zhao Kuangyin will be threatened.However, Zhao Kuangyin is an ambitious man, he even defeated Yuan Shao, so the lord should not make friends with him.The lord can make friends with Liu Biao, Tao Qian princes, and support each other. "

Before Yang Hong finished speaking, Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "I already understand how to rectify military discipline and improve people's livelihood, but Tao Qian has always been weak. I'm about to attack Xuzhou, but how can I show my kindness to him?"

"As the lord said, Tao Qian is weak. Not only the lord wants Xuzhou, but also Zhao Kuangyin. The lord can make friends with Tao Qian. If Zhao Kuangyin attacks Xuzhou in the future, he will definitely ask the lord for help. At that time, won't the lord want Xuzhou easily? ?” Yang Hong explained with a smile.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu was overjoyed and said, "A clever plan, a wonderful plan, isn't this just reaping the benefits of a fisherman? Go ahead and talk!"

Yang Hong was very happy to see Yuan Shu, so he continued with a smile, "Right now, my lord only needs to prepare some troops to support Nanyang, and at the same time, I will write a letter to Liu Biao to explain his interests to him, and drag him into the water! My lord is here, I just need to publish a few The policy of benefiting the people is enough to regain the hearts of the people and develop strength with peace of mind. At the same time, we are making good friends with Tao Qian in Xuzhou. After repelling the emperor's soldiers and horses, the lord can take Jiangdong first. At that time, the lord's power will occupy half of the world. At that time The hearts of the people are attached, and the lord's strength is at its peak, and proclaiming the emperor at that time is what the people want, and it is the best time!"

Yuan Shu was elated when he heard this, thinking that he would defeat Liu Bian and occupy Jiangdong. Xuzhou Tao Qian asked him to send troops to rescue Xuzhou, and take Xuzhou by the way.At that time, he will occupy half of the Han Dynasty and ascend the throne as the emperor.

"Okay, according to what you said, immediately send people to Jingzhou to ask Liu Biao for support, and withdraw from the soldiers and horses arranged on the border of Xuzhou, and make friends with Tao Qian. And I will govern the place here, and let the people of Huainan return to their hearts!" Yuan Shu stretched his sleeves put on the road.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu had a good idea, but the reality was very cruel. After all, he himself was not the master. After handling the government affairs for less than three days, he handed things over to the people below, and went to enjoy singing and dancing.Most of the people under him are obedient and obedient. How easy is it to win the hearts of the people?This has to be done by the ruler himself, so this plan is only a few days old, it is the same as if it has not been announced.

The hegemony that Yang Hong and others said to Yuan Shu was based on the premise that Yuan Shu's troops could repel Liu Bian's troops in Nanyang.If Liu Bian could not be defeated, then he would not only lose the most affluent Nanyang, but also be known as a traitor forever.

On the Nanyang side, Chang Yuchun's troops entered the territory of Champion County, and Hou Junji finally led his troops to intercept them.Hou Junji was the first to enter Champion County, leading 4000 soldiers. In addition to the [-] soldiers, there was also the [-] vanguard army brought by Lanyu. Although most of them were wiped out by Chang Yuchun, there were still [-] to [-] people.These troops were also stationed in Champion City together.

In the rear, Wancheng and other county towns had [-] soldiers and horses stationed for defense.Hou Junji was good at using troops, and [-] troops defended Champion County, blocking Chang Yuchun's way to enter Wancheng from the east.At the same time, there are [-] soldiers and horses guarding the rear. As long as it is not a surprise attack by tens of thousands of troops, there will be no danger.

Chang Yuchun's army set up camp outside the city of Champion County, and sent ten thousand people to collect the surrounding small towns to appease the hearts of the people.After several days of confrontation between the armies, Hou Junji also got the news that Huang Zu sent troops to Nanxiang.Hou Junji soon realized that this was a war opportunity. Nanxiang was besieged, and the Han army could not distribute food. Chang Yuchun's army had no food and grass, so he could only retreat. Once Chang Yuchun retreated, he could take advantage of the situation. Winning strike.

Therefore, Hou Junji sent scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Han army outside the city every day, and only waited for the Han army to run out of food and grass to retreat before leading the army out.

In the Han army camp outside the city, Chang Yuchun discussed with Gan Ning, and Chang Yuchun asked, "How many days do we have enough food and grass?"

"It's really hateful that I can last for five days. Huang Zu dared to send troops to cut off my food supply. If it weren't for this journey, the people from all over the country greeted us with food and pans. It's already exhausted. General, you should retreat. No one has come to deliver food for several days, and the soldiers are panicked." Gan Ning said angrily.

Thanks to Yuan Shu's unpopularity, even lost the hearts of some aristocratic families, when Chang Yuchun led the army to march eastward, Qiu won the love of the people without any crime, and the people greeted them with food.Chang Yuchun did not accept the supplies sent by ordinary people, but Chang Yuchun from a wealthy family did accept them.

Thanks to the food and supplies sent by the people along the way, Chang Yuchun's army lasted for a few more days, and Chang Yuchun also came up with a strategy to defeat the enemy.

"Don't worry, we have persisted for a few days because of the food and grass sent by the people along the way, enough for Chang'an to react and send us food from Zheshui. We can last for five days, and we can last until the food and grass are delivered. Hou Junji is huddled in the city and refuses to go out to fight, I just use this to lure him out of the city!" Chang Yuchun said to himself.

"What clever plan does the general have?" Gan Ning said happily.

"In the past two days, you asked the kitchen to reduce the cooking smoke and reduce the two meals a day, making Yuan Jun think that we are running out of food and grass. On the third day, we are retreating! Even if Yuan Jun refuses to leave the city, the food and grass for the remaining two days will not be enough. It is enough for us to retreat!" Chang Yuchun ordered.

After hearing this, Gan Ning bowed his hands and took the order, and went down to prepare.

On that day, the gang leaders in the Han army camp were busy, not only to cook enough food to feed the people, but also to reduce the emission of cooking smoke to confuse Yuan Jun.So the soldiers in the kitchen blew away the cooking smoke, and at the same time boiled it on a high fire to reduce the emission of cooking smoke.

Sure enough, with this method, the Han army cooked enough meals for the soldiers to eat, but reduced a lot of cooking smoke emissions.Yuan Jun's scout discovered this change and hurriedly reported it to Hou Junji.Hou Junji was overjoyed and asked the soldiers to investigate again to observe the changes in the cooking smoke among the Han army.

Hou Junji said to the generals: "The Han army smoked less today than yesterday. It must be because they are short of food and grass, so they reduced the use of food and grass. It seems that the Han army can't eat enough, and they can't last long. Get ready. , as long as the Han army retreats, we will go out of the city and fight!"

For the next two days, the smoke rising from the Han army's camp became less and less. On the third day, the soldiers reported to Hou Junji: "There is a lot of noise in the Han army, and there are faint voices of shouting and complaining."

"General, the Han army can't have enough food. The smoke from the kitchen is getting less and less every day. They must eat less and less. They are starving and starving. Now they can't support it anymore, so they yell and complain." road.

Hou Junji nodded and said: "The Han army is suffering from hunger and hunger. I am afraid that they have run out of food and grass. They will retreat today. You should always pay attention to the movements of the Han army. If the Han army retreats, you first lead 1 horses to pursue them." , I will lead [-] soldiers and horses behind!"

"The Han army is retreating. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them with all our strength. Why are you leading [-] soldiers behind?" the first general wondered.

"The fact that a villain like Lan Yu was defeated by Chang Yuchun shows that he is not a reckless man. You must know that the ancient Sun Bin used the trick of reducing the stove. If the Han army lures our army out of the city to fight, it will be very bad!" Hou Jun set explained.

"It's better for the general to be cautious in using his troops!" the generals admired.

At night, Chang Yuchun abandoned the camp, and his troops retreated westward. When Yuan Jun in the city got the news, he went to pursue him.The generals led ten thousand soldiers and horses in front, and Hou Junji led ten thousand soldiers and horses behind, with a distance of three or four li between them.

"General, Hou Junji is so cautious that he leads [-] troops in the rear, several miles away from the front army!" Among the Han army's middle army, the Han army returned from the rear army and reported to Chang Yuchun.

"Pass the order, the rear army slows down slightly, let Yuan Jun catch up, and the middle army keep a distance from the rear army. If Yuan Jun catches up, let them just run for their lives and lure Hou Jun to chase after him!" Chang Yuchun quickly said issue an order.

"In this way, Guigui is too risky. Once the rear army is really defeated, it may cause a real defeat!" Gan Ning hesitated.

"On a narrow road, the brave wins. Yuan Jun, a group of mobs who only know how to plunder the people, how can they compare with my warriors? What's more, soldiers are always adventurous, and they can't win without taking risks!" Chang Yuchun said in a deep voice.

"No! I'll pass the order right away!" Gan Ning retreated with his arms folded, came to the rear army, and gave the order.

Gan Ning gave an order, and soon the central army and the rear army gradually opened up the distance. Seeing this, the [-] Yuan troops in the rear pursued them like wolves and tigers.But the Han army got the order but didn't fight with it, just ran away.
