Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 86: Counterattack begins

Ji Ling Han Xian attacked for many days. Although he almost broke the city several times, he finally failed to break the city defense of Xiapi. After many days of war, Yuan Shujun was exhausted, and at the same time the food and grass were consumed seven or eighty eight, so he suspended the attack and prepared to rest for two days before attacking the city. At the same time, Ji Ling sent a messenger to Yuan Shu Camp to ask for food.

Yuan Shu saw the messenger, listened to his report, and said: "Go back and tell Ji Ling Han Xian, and when the food and payment arrives from the rear, you will send it to them immediately." It turned out that Yuan Shu's large camp was also insufficient. Waiting for the rear food and payment to be delivered. As the saying goes, the three armies did not move the food and grass first. Yuan Shujun has been fighting for a long time, and morale is inevitably low. It is necessary to reward the three armies with food and salary to boost morale.

Today Yuan Shu is in a good mood, because the battle situation in Xiapi is better than he expected. Yuan Shu estimates that according to the current situation, as long as the food is delivered, the city should be broken within a few days. When Xia Pi was captured, Xuzhou was like a turtle in the urn, unable to escape.

Yuan Shu asked his soldiers to bring drinks and delicacies to him. He drank himself in the big tent, and unknowingly became a little drunk, he fell asleep on the bed with his clothes.

I don't know how long it has passed before Yuan Shu was suddenly awakened by a sudden call. I saw General Yang and the others standing in front of the couch anxiously calling him. Yuan Shu only felt his head dizzy and painful, and said in an angry manner, "What's going on in the middle of the night?"

General Yang said anxiously: "Lord, just received the news that the 200,000 food and salary escorted by General Chen Ji was robbed by the cavalry led by Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun north of Huaiyin!"

Yuan Shu was shocked, jumped up and shouted: "What?" Then he shouted infinitely angrily: "Outrageous! Outrageous! How could Chen Ji's 20,000 soldiers and horses be robbed of food? What did he eat? !!!"

General Yang sighed and said: "The enemy army appeared very suddenly, and Chen Jibing has been very tired from the long journey. During the battle, I heard that our army was rushed by the enemy's sudden charge. He and Zhao Yun were even more courageous than to enter the land of no one! Although General Chen Ji tried his best to stabilize his position, he was defeated like a mountain and could not be forbidden! After the half-day battle, Chen Ji's 20,000 soldiers and horses were killed and injured, and the remnants fled. It’s Huaiyin! All food and payment have been robbed by Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun!"

"Damn! Damn! Chen Ji really **** it!" Yuan Shu shouted angrily, and then the general Chen Lan who was standing on the side shouted: "Immediately send the order! Capture Chen Ji! Ming Zhengzheng!" Chen Lan Yingnuo, ready to go down to send the order. . General Yang hurriedly stopped Chen Lan and clasped his fist towards Yuan Shu, saying, "The lord will stop his anger! Chen Ji's defeat can't be completely blamed on him. Now it is the time when he is employing people, ask the lord to put aside the thunderous anger, so that Chen Ji will do the merit!

Yuan Shu roared: "Chen Ji frustrated my army, and the even more hateful one was robbed of 200,000 food and salary by the enemy! Not killing him will not dispel my hatred!" Then he shouted at Chen Lan: "Hurry up and pass the order!" Chen Lan didn't dare to delay, and hurried down. Yang Da will continue to persuade Yuan Shu just not to listen.

Yuan Shu suddenly thought that although Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun had robbed him of 200,000 food and payment, the food and payment of 200,000 was so large that it would not be easy to carry it away. At this moment, they should be still on the road. If they send cavalry, they can take the food and payment back. At this point, he immediately called General Zhang Xun, so that he immediately led all 50,000 cavalry to Huaiyin, and must take back the food. General Yang was shocked and hurriedly persuaded: "Master! This place is still more than 300 miles away from Huaiyin, and the enemy is deliberately planning to attack my food supply line. How can we not be prepared! General Zhang Xun will definitely not be able to catch up! , The enemy army can burn the food and payment, our army is also in vain!"

Yuan Shu cursed: "Nonsense!" Zhang Xun was immediately ordered to act. Zhang Xun rushed out of the big tent, quickly gathered nearly 50,000 cavalry, hurried out of the camp and headed southeast.

A day later, the fifty thousand cavalrymen felt that no enemy was found near Huaiyin, only the traces of deep ruts left on the ground. Fifty thousand cavalry immediately followed these rut tracks until they reached the shore of Wenshui, only to see that a floating bridge on Wenshui only burned a little debris. Zhang Xun couldn't, so he led 50,000 cavalry back and reported to Yuan Shu: "Lord, when the end arrives, the enemy has already crossed Wenshui with food and salaries. The pontoon has been burned down, so he will be unable to, so he has to return first and return! "

Yuan Shu was furious, and shouted: "Useless things! Wouldn't you rush to build a pontoon to catch up? You let them run away! It's damned!"

Zhang Xun quickly explained: "It will take at least two or three days to build the pontoon. At that time, the enemy must have retreated to Juxian. Moreover, our army only carried two days of grain and grass and couldn't cross the river to attack!" Juxian, southeast of Xiapi Here, they are also on the shore of Wenshui. Since Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun have passed Wenshui, they can retreat to Juxian within half a day.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he heard Zhang Xun's explanation and called the soldiers to drag Zhang Xun down and hit a hundred army sticks. Zhang Xun was lying on the marching couch. The soldiers were applying medicine to him. He grinned with pain, and felt resentful and unlucky in his heart.

Yuan Shu thought of the current shortage of food and payment, and the danger of interruption. On the one hand, he hurried back to Huainan to redistribute food and payment. On the other hand, he sent his officers and soldiers to various towns and villages around Xuzhou to grab food and payment. However, Jia Xu had long anticipated the opponent’s move. While Yuan Shu’s army was still attacking Huai’an, he suggested to Ailang that the people in all towns and villages within hundreds of miles around Xuzhou should bring clothing, grain, money and hide nearby. Go into the mountains, or hide in Xuzhou City. Therefore, Yuan Shu's army looted everywhere and worked for two days. They could not rob much of the food. Instead, they were ambushed by Lu Bu's army several times, killing and wounding thousands of people.

Over the past few days, Yuan Shu's army's food and payment has become more tense. The hearts of the people in the army are floating, and they all have the idea of ​​retreating.

General Yang suggested returning to Huaiyin and Huai'an and other places immediately, and then launching an offensive after the food and payment have been shipped to restore morale. Yuan Shu felt helpless and had the idea of ​​retreating.

At this moment, the gate of Xuzhou city opened, and Lu Bu led an army of 60,000 out of the city, approaching Yuan Shujun to challenge. The sound of war drums was earth-shaking!

When Yuan Shu heard the movement outside, he was surprised at first, but then he was overjoyed and shouted: "Lu Bu thinks that our army is short of food and has a chance! We are just taking this opportunity to eliminate Lu Bu's main force and enter Xuzhou!"

General Yang hurriedly said: "No, lord! Our army has low morale due to lack of food and supplies. Now if we confront the enemy, I am afraid that there will be accidents! We should not stand fast. After the enemy retreats, the cavalry is broken, and the army quickly retreats! "
