One million allied troops attacked Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and Jia Xu had already been prepared.
But when he received Liu Ke¡¯s order, he was still stunned for a moment.
You actually want to give up most of Jiaozhou?
But if you think about it, Jia Xu will know why he did this.
The biggest reason is the lack of troops.
Liu Ke knew that the Allied forces wanted to capture Jiaozhou and sent Zhao Yun south to guard Jiaozhou. However, he could not cover up the problem of insufficient troops.
There are only 150,000 troops in Jiaozhou. If Sun Ce is the only one, they may be able to fight him. With Liu Yan's words, Jiaozhou will be in crisis.
Liu Yan¡¯s attitude is unclear and he cannot bet.
¡° Moreover, Jiaozhou is sparsely populated and its troops are scattered, which is not conducive to defense.
Jia Xu¡¯s ability to mobilize 50,000 troops to act with Zhao Yun was already the limit.
In summary, Jia Xu also decided to abandon most of Jiaozhou.
The order was quickly issued to all counties. Liu Ba, the governor of Hepu, sighed and resolutely carried out the order.
God knows how much loss this will cause him, and all his years of hard work will be wasted.
For the sake of the overall situation, you can only sacrifice your ego.
According to the plan, Liu Ba will lead more than 10,000 defenders to the South China Sea to meet with Zhao Yun.
But due to the procrastination in moving, Huang Gai¡¯s troops kept biting him.
Liu Ba fought and retreated, avoiding the main road, but was eventually overtaken.
"As long as you surrender, my lord will definitely treat you kindly!" Huang Gai persuaded to surrender.
Because Liu Ba gave up on his own initiative, Sun Ce easily took over Hepu.
However, what Sun Ce got was an empty city and he was very angry, so he sent various troops to pursue the fleeing defenders.
Huang Gai was lucky enough to capture Liu Ba's traces.
"If you want to fight, then fight? Why do I need your mercy?" Liu Ba said firmly.
After an hour of fighting between the two armies, Liu Ba showed signs of defeat. He was heavily surrounded by Sun Ce's army. When he was about to die to repay Liu Kezhi's kindness, soldiers and horses suddenly came out.
Huang Gai was also stunned. What is going on?
Suddenly a young general in white robes rode forward and shouted:
"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, who dares to fight with me?"
It turned out to be the commander of the Yangzhou Tiger Guards!
Huang Gai knew something was wrong, so he could only bite the bullet.
Bang!
After only a few rounds of fighting, Huang Gai's scalp became numb.
At the same time, the Tiger Guards had defeated Sun Ce's army cleanly.
Huang Gai did not entangle, seized the opportunity to escape, and said: "My lord Sun Ce will definitely come back!"
After putting down the harsh words, Sun Cejun retreated like a tide.
Zhao Yun did not pursue, and returned to the South China Sea with Liu Ba and several thousand remaining soldiers.
It is true that his mission is to guard the South China Sea, but it does not mean that he does not have the power to send troops. Liu Ke sent Zhao Yun to Jiaozhou just to allow him to act easily.
Liu Ba was filled with emotion for the rest of his life.
"I feel sad that Jiaozhou has fallen, and I don't know when my lord will be able to go south." Liu Ba sighed.
"Prefect Liu may not know that the latest battle report shows that our lord has severely defeated the Allied forces. Sixty-five of the North Route Allied forces were wiped out from 100,000 to 500,000," Zhao Yundao said.
Liu Ba was stunned. He just said casually, the lord actually achieved such a huge victory in such a short period of time?
Yangzhou has a total of 400,000 troops, and Liu Ke deployed 150,000 in Jiaozhou.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Ba was willing to retreat and obey orders.
Liu Ke sent Zhao Yun south to tell them that he would not give up Jiaozhou, but that he did so as a last resort because of his lack of strength.
Now, Liu Ke relied on one-third of the Allied forces to defeat the Allied forces and gave them great confidence in the people fighting in Jiaozhou.
After hearing about Liu Ke¡¯s cavalry attack strategy, Liu Ba couldn¡¯t help but admire and said: ¡°My lord is really a genius!¡±
"Of course!" Zhao Yun said proudly. He disclosed the battle situation appropriately just to inspire people.
The effect is obvious.
Liu Ba's army lost more than half of its troops and was scarred, but it has now been completely calmed down.
After Sun Ce captured Hepu County, he did not continue to go south. Instead, he sharpened his sword and went straight to the South China Sea.
This is also the case with the alliance?Assigned tasks.
It¡¯s ridiculous to say that in the entire alliance, only Sun Ce is unswervingly executing the combat objectives.
After all, all the territory he conquered belongs to him.
Of course, there is also Liu Yan, a competitor.
After Sun Ce captured Hepu County, he cut off the entire Jiaozhou. If he didn¡¯t join the war now, how could he wait?
So Liu Yan sent veteran general Yan Yan as commander, Zhang Ren and Wu Yi as deputy generals, Yan Xing as vanguard, and led an army of 150,000 to invade Jiaozhou.
Because the road was rugged, the army walked for a long time. As soon as he entered Jiaozhou, he occupied all the counties in Jiaozhou.
These are all achievements!
Yan Xing launched a frenzied attack, conquering forty-five counties in a row, and became famous.
At the same time, he was cautious and did not forget to inquire about the main force in Jiaozhou. He soon learned that Jia Xu had gathered 80,000 troops in Jiaozhi and was preparing to hold on.
"The Marquis of Dongyang has made great achievements in battle, but his subordinates are just a bunch of rats!" Yan Xing laughed.
Yan Yan soon received a report from Yan Xing, a member of his clan, and he also guessed Jia Xu's intentions. After leaving some troops to garrison various places, he led an army of 120,000 people and went straight to Jiaozhi.
This is the main battlefield. Only by eliminating the Jiaozhi garrison can Yizhou truly rule here.
Jia Xu has been prepared for this for a long time and is not afraid at all.
According to Yangzhou¡¯s policy, Jiaozhou needs to stick to the South China Sea and Jiaozhi and wait for rescue.
"However, Liu Ke did not restrict Jia Xu's actions. After all, the opportunity was fleeting.
Jia Xu had 80,000 defenders in Jiaozhi. He made various arrangements and summoned 80,000 young men to participate in training.
Therefore, the longer it takes, the better it is for him.
This is the power brought by population.
During this period, Jia Xu continued to receive immigrants from Yangzhou and gained their trust. This is where his confidence lies.
However, the news of the fall of half of Jiaozhou County still caused uproar in various parts of the Central Plains.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of Jiaozhou was corrupted, and the Marquis of Dongyang would soon be defeated. The news spread like wildfire.
The Allies vigorously publicized this matter in order to undermine the morale of Yangzhou. The Yangzhou battlefield, which was originally sluggish, suddenly turned around.
The Allied Forces, originally known as a million-strong army, have now been confirmed.
It¡¯s really a million!
"It's a pity that the Yangzhou battlefield was not strong enough, and nearly 100,000 troops were lost.
Cao Cao's crusade was flying all over the sky. The main idea was: All classes in Yangzhou, you should stop resisting. When Jiaozhou falls, Liu Yan and Sun Ce's 400,000 troops will march north. What can you do to resist?
A true strategist will definitely laugh it off.
"But many people in Yangzhou don't know why, so it still causes people to panic.
Especially scholars, as intellectuals, their every move will become a benchmark for everyone's actions.
Now even they are restless. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
