Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 198 Sun Jian Sends Troops

Chapter 198 Sun Jian Sends Troops

Cao Bao's army approached the city of Qiao County. Facing Qiao County with only [-] troops and no support from the people, Cao Bao thought that taking Qiao County was as easy as picking something out of a bag.But when the fight really started, Cao Bao realized that he was wrong, and it was very serious.

When Cao Bao captured Xiangxian County, the county magistrate, county lieutenant and other county leaders were all officials appointed by the imperial court. After surrendering to Yuan Shu once, they were not afraid to surrender a second time.It is in everyone's mind that it is always difficult to make a decision for the first time, but after making a decision once, it is much easier to do the same thing in the future.

Therefore, after more than half of the 100 Yangzhou soldiers stationed in Xiangxian County were killed or injured, the officials of Xiangxian County took the initiative to open the city to welcome them.At this time, the Xuzhou soldiers led by Cao Bao only killed and injured less than [-] people.Once this happened, Cao Bao only said that Yuan Shu was unpopular with the people of Yuzhou, but he was someone the people of Yuzhou were looking forward to.But what I didn't expect was that after Qiao County failed to attack the city for three consecutive days, the people in Qiao County still remained silent.

After another failed siege, Cao Bao could only withdraw his troops bitterly.On the way back to the camp, Cao Bao looked back at the city of Qiao County and secretly said in his heart: "When I break the city, I will kill the officials in the city one by one and hang their bodies on the city gate. superior!"

Just don't say that Cao Bao has no chance to break through Qiao County, even if Li Feng suddenly made a fool to let Cao Bao break through Qiao County, Cao Bao has no chance to kill those officials in Qiao County.When Li Feng made up his mind to stick to Qiao County, he had already dealt with all possible troubles, including those officials in Qiao County.For the sake of Yuan Shu's great cause, Li Feng naturally couldn't attack the aristocratic families in Qiao County, but killing the officials in Qiao County would also have the effect of deterring those aristocratic families.

After returning to the camp, a general beside Cao Bao came up and said to Cao Bao: "General, although Qiao County is difficult to attack, the defenders in Qiao County are still few in number. How can they stop the general for how long? Today's sunshine Mingmei, why don't you go out to camp and hunt, General, so you can relax."

Cao Bao turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was the general Cao Hong.Looking at Cao Hong, Cao Bao's originally depressed mood suddenly relaxed a little.Think about it carefully, even though the city of Qiao County is high and deep, there are only four thousand defenders. Even if they can block their attack this time, how many times can they block it?

"Alright, since that's the case, let's go for a walk." After Cao Bao thought about it carefully, and he was really tired of eating the meals in the military camp these days, it would be a good choice to go out and get some game.

Seeing that Cao Bao agreed, Cao Hong followed Cao Bao out of the camp.After Cao Bao arrived at the stables and selected the horses, Cao Hong had already brought over an army of dozens of people.From the looks of it, Cao Hong had been prepared for a long time, and he only made this proposal today.

Cao Bao took people out to hunt wild game in a hurry, but the morale of the Xuzhou soldiers in the camp was low at this time.Originally, the army was not good at attacking the city. At this time, the general did not stay in the barracks to find a way, but ran out to hunt. This made the morale of the already low morale of the Xuzhou army even lower to the extreme.

In Qiao County, Li Feng was using the time when the Xuzhou Army was not attacking to strengthen the city defense.In the past few days, although they repelled the attacks of the Xuzhou Army many times, they still lost more than 1000 people. This is based on the fact that the Xuzhou Army did not continue to attack the city from morning to night every day.

"Master Li, the defenders in the city are suffering heavy casualties, but the lord does not know when he will be able to return. Master Li has a countermeasure, how about recruiting people from the city to defend the city?" Just as Li Feng was arranging soldiers to prepare for the city defense, Someone behind him said this to Li Feng.

Li Feng looked back, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "So it's Mr. Yin, don't worry, Mr. Yin, the lord will return immediately after receiving our letter." The person who spoke earlier was Yuan Shu. His nephew Yuan Yin.

Yuan Yin was originally the prefect of Danyang, but Sun Jian later occupied Jiangdong, and Yuan Yin was expelled.Later, Yuan Yin voted under Yuan Shu's Liu Xun's tent, and Yuan Yin was transferred to his side until Wei Zhongdao, Yuan Shuying's request to send troops.But when Yuan Shu sent troops to Yangdi, he left Yuan Yin beside Li Feng as his deputy.

"If Cao Bao attacked Qiao County before the lord came back, how would he deal with himself?" As a member of the Yuan family, Yuan Yin did not vote for Yuan Shao but voted for Yuan Shu, because he believed that Yuan Shu would become the head of the Yuan family.This time can be said to be Yuan Shu's most critical time, and Yuan Yin will naturally be worried.

Hearing what Yuan Yin said, Li Feng looked at Cao Bao's camp outside the city, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Yin, my subordinates look at the Xuzhou army camp outside the city. Apart from routine patrols, the Xuzhou soldiers in the barracks There were no soldiers practicing, which shows that the morale of the Xuzhou army has dropped to the extreme. A soldier saw dozens of cavalry in the barracks heading towards the mountains and forests. Except for the enemy general, who would dare to go hunting in the mountains at this time? It can be seen from this that, The leader of this enemy army is also an incompetent person."

Yuan Yin was extremely worried at first, but after listening to Li Feng's explanation at this time, he was relieved.Not only Yuan Yin, but also the soldiers who heard the dialogue between the two armies lost their nervousness and relaxed at this time.Yangzhou is connected to Xuzhou, and Yangzhou soldiers are afraid that Xuzhou soldiers will not be able to do so for a day or two. Although Xuzhou soldiers have repelled the offensive before, this kind of worry can be reversed with one or two small victories.

But it's different now, even the general thinks he will win, and what he said makes sense, what do these little soldiers have to worry about?The next time the enemy army comes to attack the city, it is just to die.The morale of both sides went up and down, and now even the mentality has changed. Cao Bao is doomed to be useless.

But at this time in Yangzhou, there is an army marching in a hurry, but this army is not flying the banner of Yuan Shu, the first banner bearer holds a big banner with the word "Sun" written on it.It turned out that this was Sun Jian's army.

The person walking in the front was wearing red heavy armor and a red cloak, with an ancient ingot knife pinned to his waist, and a Dawan horse under his crotch, looking majestic and majestic.

"Mr. Zhongdao, if it is as you said, how will we get along with you after I rescue Yuan Gonggong?" Sun Jian asked while riding on his horse, looking at Wei Zhongdao beside him.

After Wei Zhongdao persuaded Yuan Shu to send troops, he did not return to Xiliang, but stayed in Yangzhou.When Wei Zhongdao heard that Yuan Shu did not stop at Yuzhou and sent troops to Yangdi, Wei Zhongdao seemed to have expected Yuan Shu's failure, and set off for Jiangdong District to seek Sun Jian to send troops.

The reason why Sun Jian agreed to send troops was that apart from gaining some benefits, it would be more unfavorable for them to conquer Shanyue. At this time, an envoy from the imperial court came to intercede for Shanyue.Various coincidences made Sun Jian agree to Wei Zhongdao's request.In any case, Yuan Shu was Yuan Shu's subordinate, and Sun Jian took away the part of Yangzhou in Jiangdong from Yuan Shu's hands.

"After General Sun rescues General Yuan, he can occupy the land east of Jiangdong with peace of mind, and there is no need to worry that General Yuan will suddenly attack the general. In this way, the general can run the six counties of Jiangdong with peace of mind. Isn't it a great kindness?"

After hearing Wei Zhongdao's words, Sun Jian thought for a while, but he didn't answer Wei Zhongdao, and ran forward with a horse whip.
