Chapter 844: Sun Ce Dispatches Troops to Wujun
Just when Huangfu Chaobo was about to end the meeting, Guo Jia suddenly said, "My Lord, wait a minute, Jia has another suggestion."
Huangfu Chaobo was stunned, and quickly sat down again, saying, "Please speak, Fengxiao!"
"After thinking it over again and again, Jia felt that it was not appropriate for General Huang and several generals to go to Yuzhou alone. Although the Yuzhou army has sufficient manpower, the soldiers basically have no experience in major battles. It will be difficult to reach the combat power to compete with Cao Cao's army in one or two years."
"In this case, simply draw two schools of soldiers from the Huben Camp, use them as the skeleton, and expand it into the Yuzhou Army War Barracks. In this way, it will achieve twice the result with half the effort, and there is another benefit, which is to save the trouble of drawing generals from other armies."
Huang Zhong nodded and said that this method was good, so Huangfu Chaobo finally decided to transfer two schools of infantry from the Huben Camp to join the Yuzhou Army as low-level generals. Huang Wudie will use the remaining two schools of Huben Camp soldiers as the skeleton to replenish the four schools of soldiers.
Looking at the people coming out in a line, Huangfu Chaobo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally solved the problem of Yuzhou. As long as the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou were trained, Huangfu Chaobo was confident that he could let go and fight Cao Cao. He believed that as long as the various departments cooperated well, he should be able to beat Cao Cao so hard that his father would not recognize him before the surrounding princes reacted. Maybe if everything went well, he could solve him within one or two years.
Of course, Taizu of this dynasty once said that we should despise the enemy strategically and show the enemy tactically. So no matter what time, Huangfu Chaobo would not relax his vigilance.
Time soon entered October. On the battlefield of Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Ji Ling were about to fight. The two armies had fought back and forth for more than ten battles, but they still could not determine the winner. So Cao Cao, under the advice of Sima Yi, sent a detachment of more than 20,000 people from Qiao County to attack Xiapi State, originally thinking of forcing Ji Ling to divide his troops for rescue.
Who knows, Ji Ling was not fooled, but only ordered Xu County, which was close to Hongze, to strengthen its defense, and then watched Cao Cao's army successively capture Xiaqiu and Tongguo. In desperation, Cao Cao's army had to stop the offensive again in Tongcheng, because if Xiapi was not captured, Cao Cao's army would not dare to attack the east of Sishui or the south of Huaishui.
In the end, the two armies had to stalemate under Xiapi again. Seeing that winter was coming, Cao Cao also began to reduce the frequency of attacks and considered whether to withdraw his troops.
At this time, Jiangdong, when everyone thought that the little tiger was hiding there licking his wounds, he had already prepared to send troops to Wujun.
After more than a month of preparation, Sun Ce drew nearly 30,000 guards from the counties of Danyang, and then left 20,000 elites from the more than 20,000 troops withdrawn, and the rest of the soldiers were all used as skeletons. These 30,000 guards and the 10,000 guards in Danyang City were reorganized into 40,000 troops.
In this way, Sun Ce's army had 20,000 elite soldiers, and 40,000 newly trained soldiers with elite soldiers as the skeleton.
On October 16, Sun Ce, the governor of Danyang, suddenly issued a manifesto, saying that Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, was a relative of the Han Dynasty, but did not think about serving the country, but colluded with the rebels, so he decided to send troops to attack Liu Yao.
On the 18th, Sun Ce sent 20,000 troops to attack Qu'a County, Wujun.
As Zhou Yu expected, Liu Yao saw that Sun Ce only sent 20,000 troops to attack him, so he led the Qu'a garrison to defend the city, and sent General Fan Neng to lead 40,000 troops to support Qu'a, preparing to annihilate Sun Ce's 20,000 troops under Qu'a City.
Who knew that before Fan Neng arrived at Qu'a City, the 40,000 troops were ambushed by Sun Ce's 50,000 troops ten miles north of Qu'a. Only Fan Neng led hundreds of guards to flee back to Dantu. Thousands of the rest of the soldiers were killed, thousands fled, and more than 30,000 soldiers were captured by Sun Ce's army.
By this time, everyone knew that Liu Yao was finished.
Sure enough, a few days later, Sun Ce led the 20,000 Wujun soldiers who surrendered and his own 50,000 troops to appear at the foot of Dantu City, and then the army began to attack Dantu.
More than 10,000 Wujun troops only defended Dantu City for less than five days before they were captured by Sun Ce's army. Liu Yao broke out under the protection of 2,000 guards and fled into Qu'a City. Afterwards, Sun Ce sent Zhou Yu to lead several generals and 30,000 troops to follow.
Three days later, Qu'a City was broken and Liu Yao fled again. Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi led troops to stop them, but they were seriously injured by a young general under Liu Yao. If it weren't for the desperate protection of their generals, the two might have died outside Qu'a City.
Players watching outside Qu'a City exclaimed, "The young general of Qu'a has appeared!"
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was an unknown young general who fought against Sun Ce with Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci and Sun Ce had a big battle, but this unknown young general blocked Huang Gai alone for nearly half an hour and was affectionately called the young general of Qu'a. However, players almost turned Qu'a and Dantu upside down but couldn't find this powerful young general, but now he suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
In fact, Zhou Yu's original intention was just to let the generals intercept Liu Yao for a while, and then chase Liu Yao to attack the cities of Wujun. However, the generals of Sun Ce's army were not convinced by Zhou Yu, so there was a scene where Huang Gai and Zhu Zhi intercepted Liu Yao. The two originally wanted to capture Liu Yao, but they hit a wall and almost lost their lives.
After Zhou Yu ordered the two injured generals to be placed in Qu'a, he led his army to pursue Liu Yao and captured Piling, but was blocked by Dong Xi, a general under Yan Han, under the city of Wuxi. After a fierce battle between the two sides, Zhou Yu led his army to attack Yangxian.
After Zhou Yu's army captured Yangxian, he no longer sent troops to pursue Liu Yao, but stationed his army in Yangxian and Piling, and then led his troops back to Dantu.
Liu Yao, under the protection of the young generals of Qu'a and Zhang Ying, passed through Wucheng, Yuhang, Fuchun, and then went west to Yuzhang County.
After forcing Zhou Yu's army to retreat, Yan Han received the news that Liu Yao had fled, and he occupied the three counties of Wucheng without stopping. Not only that, he also gathered the four generals Fan Neng, Yu Mi, Xue Li, and Chen Heng under Liu Yao and nearly 20,000 soldiers who fled. It can be said that his harvest was still good.
However, knowing that he had offended the Little Overlord, the days ahead might be difficult, so under the advice of military advisor Kan Ze, Yan Han stepped up military training and preparations while sending people to Kuaiji to form an alliance with Wang Lang, hoping to jointly deal with the Little Overlord.
He did not expect that the Little Overlord would send troops to Wujun. Although he was at great risk, he also picked up a lot of loopholes. Not to mention anything else, the three counties and four historical generals alone had already brought him great gains.
