But after a bloody battle, Guo Yan still broke out of the siege of Cao's army and led the remnants to flee to Qingzhou.Cao Cao was so angry that he discussed with Guo Jia, and ordered Cao Ren to lead 10,000 horses to guard Beihai, and he led an army of 40,000 to chase and kill Guo Yan.Guo Yan was chased by Cao Cao in a hurry, and lost troops along the way, and when he returned to Qingzhou, there were not many people around him.But what surprised Guo Yan even more was that the banner on Qingzhou City was no longer the word "Dong" or "Guo", but the word "Yuan", and the soldiers on the city were not their own, they were Yuan Shao's.Yuan Shao laughed at the head of the city and said, "Guo Yan, surrender quickly." ”Guo Yan was furious: "What a Yuan Shao, while I am going to attack Beihai, you actually occupy my Qingzhou, it is too shameless." ”Yuan Shao said with a smile: "The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, I calculated that you would go to Beihai, so I ambushed me here." ”Guo Yan looked behind him, there was a lot of dust over there, and Cao Cao was about to catch up.It's really stronger than people, and now the people and horses in their hands are almost fighting, what to use to counterattack Qingzhou, and if you don't run away now, you won't even have your life when you wait.In desperation, Guo Yan had no choice but to lead the remnants of the defeated army to withdraw and flee back to Chang'an.When Cao Cao came to Qingzhou City, he was also surprised, he thought he was here to pick up a bargain, but who knew that Yuan Shaojie was the first.Yuan Shao smiled at the head of the city and said, "Cao Cao, Cao Cao, if you had come one step earlier, I wouldn't have this opportunity." ”Cao Cao said angrily: "Your sister's Yuan Shao, believe it or not, I will beat you immediately" Yuan Shao smiled again and said: "Eon, but let me tell you, I brought 80,000 soldiers and horses this time, and I am determined to win."
But alas, if you are one step late, I will even get my hands on Beihai. ”Cao Cao's face was blue, Yuan Shao brought 80,000 horses, what else did Qingzhou attack was not attacked by Yuan Shao out of the city, and it was already Amitabha.Here, Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao's troops, his face changed slightly, and he shouted: "You are only such a small number of people, and you dare to attack Qingzhou, you really don't know how to die."
Hmph, I'm happy today, let you go, you'd better run away immediately, lest I regret it. ”Shocked and furious, Cao Cao was forced to withdraw his troops and retreat towards the North Sea.Sun Jian continued to retreat south, and sent fast horses to contact the garrisons in various places, collected a lot of men and horses, He Qi also found Sun Jian, and there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses left with him.Sun Jian roughly calculated, there are more than 30,000 people in total, and there are still some grain and grass, enough to support half a month, as long as a city is built, many problems will be solved.He discussed with Cheng Pu and others and decided to attack Guiyang, where the defenders were only 20,000 people.When Zhao Fan, the Taishou of Guiyang, learned that Sun Jian had arrived nearby, he immediately ordered the defenders to strengthen the city wall and beware of Sun Jianshun leading the sheep.As expected, at nightfall, Cheng Pu took the lead in raiding Guiyang City.Zhao Fan defended desperately, Cheng Pu attacked for an hour without progress, and Sun Jian led the main force to arrive.Sun Jian looked at the thick walls of Guiyang's high city, and vaguely felt that Guiyang was not easy to capture, but he still let the troops storm several times to test Zhao Fan's ability to resist.All of a sudden, Guiyang City fought fiercely, arrows were like locusts, flowing stones were like tides, and the siege soldiers suffered heavy casualties.After attacking for two hours, Sun Jian ordered to stop the siege and personally went to the city to negotiate with Zhao Fan."
Sun Jian, there's nothing to negotiate," Zhao Fan said."
Zhao Fan, if you belong to me, I will make a comeback in the future, and I will divide you into five cities."
Sun Jian promised."
Changsha has been lost, you, the tiger of Jiangdong, have fallen into Pingyang, what are you talking about" Zhao Fan disagreed."
If I attack for three days, Guiyang will be broken, so you don't think about your back road" Sun Jian was furious."
You just have tens of thousands of horses, and you don't have any territory, I'm afraid you will do much" Zhao Fan sneered.Sun Jian saw that Zhao Fan had a tough attitude, so he didn't bother to talk to him anymore and rode back.The negotiations failed, and the strong attack could not be carried out, so Sun resolutely decided not to attack Guiyang, and continued to go south by detour to attack Linhe.Cheng Pu and others praised this decision, Linhe is the vanguard of Jiaozhou, Shiwu is stationed in Linhe, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is definitely a soft pistle, very easy to pinch.Shiwu received Sun Jianzhi's imminent congratulations, and hurriedly complained to Shixie and asked for reinforcements.However, Sun Jian's speed was very fast, and Cheng Pu led the leading troops to Linhe City, cutting off Shiwu's retreat.Besieging Linhe, Sun Jian began to attack the city, and after several rounds of fierce attacks, both sides suffered heavy casualties, but Linhe was still in the hands of Shiwu.Cheng Pu ran back and said to Sun Jian: "Lord, it's not okay to fight like this, this is forcing the warriors to fight the trapped beasts." ”Sun Jian said: "Send someone to persuade you to surrender." ”Cheng Pu said: "Shiwu is Shixie's relative, how can he surrender to us" Sun Jian said: "I don't want to let Shiwu go, I want to clear Shixie's generals one by one." ”Cheng Pu said: "It should be so, but we have limited food and grass, and we must build a city as soon as possible to get supplies."
Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our side and will affect morale. ”Sun Jian thought for a while and said, "Stop the attack first, you go and talk to Shiwu, he can surrender the best."
If he refuses, I'll consider something else. ”Cheng Pu took the order and ordered the soldiers to stop the siege, while he himself ran to the city to interview the soldiers in the city."
Surrender, did you wake up," Shiwu said disdainfully."
You have also seen the current situation, you can't hold Linhe at all, we only need to attack a few more waves, and you will be destroyed and killed."
Cheng Pu shouted."
Then I will die with you, I still have 5,000 elite soldiers in my hands to fight with you."
Shiwu said.Cheng Pu used both soft and hard, and all the warriors didn't eat, so Cheng Pu had no choice but to go back and tell Sun Jian.Sun Jian frowned: "Don't eat soft and hard" Cheng Pu nodded: "What should we do with another wave of strong attacks, Linhe will take it." ”Sun Jian said: "But Shiwu will lead the crowd to fight with us in the streets. ”Cheng Pu said: "We can drive out all the warriors. ”Sun Jian said worriedly: "But the casualties will also be very heavy." ”Cheng Pu shook his head: "There is no way to do it, unless you let go of the south gate and let Shiwu escape." ”Sun Jian said: "Then let go of the south gate." ”Not long after, Sun Bing evacuated the south gate, and Shiwu saw the vitality and immediately led the remnants to flee from Linhe and run to Jiaozhou.Sun Jian led the crowd into the city, rested his troops, and prepared to continue southward without giving Shixie a chance to send a large army to counterattack.The next target is Cangwu, where Shisong is garrisoned, with less than 5,000 troops, which is a rare soft sword.Shi Song was not actively preparing for war, he just hoped that the reinforcements from Jiaozhou would arrive as soon as possible.It's a pity that the reinforcements have not arrived, Sun Bing has arrived, and Cangwu is caught in the war.Sun Jian also concocted the same method for Shi Song, leaving him a back road at the south gate.Unexpectedly, Shi Song's head was a basket, and he firmly believed that reinforcements were coming, so he was stunned to fight with Sun Jian, and as a result, there were 2,000 left of 5,000 men and horses
