Chapter 332 Liu Yu was miserable by Cao Cao
Cao Cao did this and made Liu Yu miserable.
"Cao A'hao, I, your ancestor, have been so stubborn. I didn't even take action, but you came first to do this to me." Liu Yu was so angry that he cursed.
Liu Yu couldn't help but be angry.
Originally, Liu Yu thought that when Cao Cao needed time to stabilize Jianghuai, he would send troops to Jizhou to attack Yuan Shao.
Liu Yu's calculation was very good. Yuan Shu caused great harm to the Jianghuai River. To describe it as the people's livelihood is difficult to describe, it is light. Even if Cao Cao gets this place, he will not be able to stabilize it for a while. The people who are waiting for food are a huge burden. And Sun Ce
, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei will definitely not be so honest, and they will definitely have conflicts and frictions between interests and territories with Cao Cao, and even war. With the checks and balances of these people, Cao Cao can not only stabilize Jianghuai, but also not suffer losses.
That's good. Then Liu Yu can safely attack Yuan Shao, who has been weakened by the thieves.
However, Cao Cao used iron-blooded methods to swallow up the Runan Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince. He also confiscated the properties of several aristocratic families and obtained countless wealth. Using this wealth, Cao Cao stabilized the situation. Sun Ce and Liu Biao also
In order to protect the immediate interests, he did not dare to conflict with Cao Cao. What made Liu Yu most angry was that after Liu Bei was driven out of Shouchun by Cao Cao, he returned to Xuzhou obediently without letting out a single fart. Liu Yu really wanted to ask
Liu Bei, where is your blood?
If the plan goes well, Liu Yu can unify the north and establish the huge power to unify the world in one fell swoop. Then he can destroy Cao Cao with several attacks. At that time, Liu Yu can easily go south and slowly take over the entire Han Dynasty.
Down.
Liu Yu's perfect plan was ruined by these uncooperative bastards.
Cao Cao teamed up with Liu Biao and Yuan Shao to attack Liu Yu, causing Liu Yu's current situation to be very unhappy.
Although Yuan Shao was defeated by the thieves group led by Zhang Yan, Yuan Shao took advantage of this opportunity to continuously compete with others and train a large number of elite soldiers.
Yuan Shao knew that Liu Yu was the mastermind behind the thieves group, and it was just like that under his own rule. It would not be so easy to restore the status quo. So Yuan Shao simply let go, mobilized a large number of troops from Youzhou, and personally took charge of the killing.
After entering Bingzhou, Huang Zhong, the defender of Bingzhou, was caught off guard and retreated steadily. Fortunately, Liu Yu had been operating in Bingzhou for many years and had sufficient preparations. He was able to stabilize the situation and formed a confrontation with Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao felt fierce and mobilized some of Jizhou's defensive troops, led by Yan Liang, to attack Huguan.
Yuan Shao's desperate behavior made Tian Feng and Huang Zhong angry and kept reporting the situation to Liu Yu. Liu Yu hurriedly ordered Lu Bu and Dian Wei to speed up the rescue to prevent Yuan Shao from making any further progress.
At the same time, outside Hulao Pass, Cao Cao personally led tens of thousands of troops known as elites to threaten Luoyang.
Ma Chao and Chen Gong in Hulao Gate didn't know Cao Cao's intentions. They thought that since Cao Cao didn't attack, they could just hold on.
The choices of Ma Chao and Chen Gong played into Cao Cao's plan, and he was eager to continue like this and let Yuan Shao and Liu Biao weaken Liu Yu.
Liu Biao did not personally lead the troops this time. The commanders of the attack on Wancheng and Shangyong were Huang Zu and Cai Mao respectively. Liu Biao did not want to fight Liu Yu. He did not have much ambition anymore. Liu Biao did not want to fight, but his
My subordinates are thinking that the big families in Jingzhou want to fight. Although there is no news about the big families in Liu Yu's territory, there are not many big families under Liu Yu's rule. Except for Yang Biao and several ministers who are quick to gain momentum, they are from big families.
In addition, there are Tian Feng, Chen Gong, and Jushu who joined Liu Yu earlier because they were from big families, while the others were from small families, and most of them were from poor families. From this, we can see Liu Yu's attitude towards the aristocratic family.
Therefore, in order to prevent Liu Yu from invading in the future, the wealthy families in Jingzhou decided to take back Wancheng and Shangyong.
Faced with the turbulent public sentiment, Liu Miao reluctantly issued the order to attack.
Cai Hao led 50,000 troops to attack Wancheng, almost all of them were private soldiers of aristocratic families. Liu Biao was not stupid, he would not give his direct troops to Cai Hao. In order to show his presence and influence in Jingzhou, Cai Hao let
Various aristocratic families in Jingzhou provided many private soldiers.
After being rejected by Liu Yu last time, the petty Cai Hao was always grudge. Now that there is such a good opportunity to take revenge, how could Cai Hao let it go?
Zhang Xiu of Wancheng knew that he could not send troops hastily. As long as he defended Wancheng, he would be invincible. So no matter how Cai Mao attacked or sarcastically attacked, Zhang Xiu refused to send troops. Cai Hao was so angry that he kept attacking Wancheng, giving
Wancheng caused huge losses.
Huang Zu led the Jingzhou navy to swim upstream and attack Shangyong.
Liu Yu did not have a navy under his command, nor did he have a dedicated navy general. After getting Shangyong, Liu Yu ordered the construction of warships on the Yangtze River and trained the navy.
It is precisely because of this that the aristocratic families in Jingzhou began to feel threatened.
Huang Xu and Gao Shun arrived at Shangyong before Huang Zu with 30,000 troops.
After Huang Zu's navy arrived, they did not go ashore to attack the heavily guarded Shangyong City. Instead, they used their powerful navy to wipe out Liu Yu's unfinished navy.
Huang Xu and Gao Shun were both land generals and knew nothing about water warfare. They could only watch the water army that Liu Yu had invested so much effort in burnt to the ground.
After Liu Yu received the news, he was so angry that he really wanted to tear Liu Biao to pieces.
After Huang Zu destroyed Liu Yu's navy, he calmly landed on land and began to attack Shangyong.
In the battle on land, Liu Yu's army had not been afraid of anyone. Gao Shun directly led the trapped camp and rushed out to fight Huang Zu.
Huang Zu originally thought that there were not many elite soldiers and generals in Shangyong City, so he attacked the city by himself, and he would naturally capture Shangyong City.
The trapped camp was a powerful attacking force under Liu Yu. Although Gao Shun was not famous, he was extremely brave in fighting. Many of Huang Zu's soldiers and horses were slaughtered.
Huang Zu suffered a heavy loss and decisively counterattacked with crossbows from the warships. Only then did Gao Shun worry about the excessive losses and returned to Shangyong City.
The two sides also started a confrontation.
Luoyang is also unsettled. Cao Cao arranged some spies in Luoyang based on the methods provided by Li Fu. Now, under Cao Cao's orders, these spies are constantly wandering among the people of Luoyang, spreading rumors and causing trouble, and are harmful to Liu Yu in various ways.
The rumors spread in Luoyang.
Liu Yu called Li Gui over and scolded him. If there were still similar rumors in Luoyang, Li Gui could go back and not come back again.
Li Gui felt that he had lost all face. He was a spy, but now someone was spreading rumors and causing trouble on his own territory. How could Li Gui not blame himself?
Li Gui, who was scolded by Liu Yu, was also furious at the head of the "Anbu", saying that if there were even the slightest rumors, the "Anbu" from the leader down would be punished.
The punishments given by "Anbu" are relatively severe, and the lightest ones have to lie in bed for half a month.
Under such a threat, the "Anbu" dug out all the enemy's spies in less than half a day.
After interrogating all the spies, Li Gui killed them all with a wave of his hand.
