Chapter 220 To Rob the Yuan Family's Tomb? Liu Bei Defeats Yet Another Time!
"Ju Shou is blessed."
Guo Jia thought to himself.
It seems that Su Yu's idea of forming a professional tomb raiding team is not new.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yu said:
"Fengxiao could write an autobiography to record his tomb raiding career."
"I, Su, dare to guarantee that many years from now, perhaps not many people will remember Xun Wenruo, who only knew how to bury himself in hard work."
"But many people regard you, Fengxiao, as their patriarch!"
Guo Jia was deeply moved.
It seems... if I were to pull this off, I'd be establishing a new school of thought!
But Su Yu's purpose was not limited to this.
If Guo Jia were to become a tomb raider, he would definitely need to strengthen his body.
Otherwise, with that small frame, what kind of tomb raiding could he possibly do!
Moreover, the tomb raiding team that Su Yu wants to build will not only raid tombs, but also carry out psychological attacks on hostile forces!
As the saying goes, winning hearts and minds is the best strategy.
As mentioned above, if Ju Shou suddenly learned that the tomb of the Ju family in Guangping had been robbed, his expression would certainly be quite interesting.
It's impossible for one's mental state not to be affected.
"Fengxiao, would you be interested in giving it a try?"
Su Yu patiently guided Guo Jia, and the more Guo Jia listened, the more he felt that this matter was feasible!
It's exciting, fun, and you get paid and commission!
Where can you find such a high-paying job?
And so, Guo Jia, the first generation leader of the tomb raiders in Cao Cao's camp and the tomb raiding master, officially went online!
Why is it called the Tomb Raider's Sacrifice?
This sacrificial wine is not the same as that sacrificial wine.
The proper position of libationer is usually awarded to literary giants.
For example, Xun Yu's ancestor, Xunzi, once served as the Jixia Libationer.
Guo Jia's role as the "Tomb Raider's Sacrifice" was indeed to offer wine to the heavens before each tomb raid, hence the name "Tomb Raider's Sacrifice."
Guo Jia's first job was to direct the gold diggers to rob the tomb of the Yuan family in Runan!
And so, Yuan Shu declared himself emperor.
Guo Jia would naturally not let go of the ill-gotten gains of the Yuan family of Runan, a family of traitors.
……
in a few days
Nanyang
Near Ye County
Liu Bei advanced triumphantly, capturing six counties in succession without encountering any significant resistance.
Moreover, without Cai Mao accompanying him this time, Liu Bei was the master of these 50,000 troops, enjoying a high degree of freedom.
This feeling of freedom and unrestraint was something Liu Bei both fascinated and longed for.
Night falls
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei entered the tent and came to Liu Bei's side.
Seeing Liu Bei engrossed in reading by candlelight, Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, the entire territory of Nanyang is within our grasp."
"But after we take Nanyang, are we really going to return it to Liu Jingsheng intact?"
"The thought of Liu Jingsheng using the land of Nanyang to win over Cai Mao and Kuai Yue makes me want to stab Cai Mao to death with a spear!"
Zhang Fei, with his fiery temper, had been putting up with Cai Mao and the others for a long time.
In particular, Cai Mao bears full responsibility for the Jingzhou army's defeat to Yuan Shu last time.
If it weren't for his lack of command skills, his rambling and disruptive behavior, and his attempt to suppress the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei as commander-in-chief.
Even if the Jingzhou army did not win, it was impossible for them to suffer a major defeat.
This overwhelming victory further solidified Zhang Fei's belief that Cai Mao was an incompetent fool.
Liu Bei put down the book in his hand and smiled:
"What nonsense are you talking about, Third Brother?"
“We three brothers are Jing Sheng’s capable assistants, so naturally we must guard Nanyang for him.”
Zhang Fei was about to try to persuade him again, but Guan Yu grabbed Zhang Fei's arm.
The meaning of elder brother Liu Bei is already very clear!
To protect Nanyang for Liu Biao meant that he was unwilling to cede land and resources to Cai Mao and Kuai Yue!
This wasn't the first time Liu Bei had done something like double-crossing.
As the saying goes, the bolder you are, the greater your reward.
Liu Bei even fantasized about whether Liu Biao might suddenly die!
Ideally, let him take over the Xuzhou scenario again and take Jingzhou from Liu Biao!
This time, however, Liu Bei has learned from his mistakes and will not be as naive as he was in Xuzhou.
Even if he were to succeed Liu Biao, he would have to get rid of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and the others beforehand!
however.
Liu Bei's illusions shattered amidst the distant shouts of battle!
"Report!!!"
"Reporting to my lord, the mountains and fields are teeming with enemies, and our scouts have been unable to ascertain the exact number of them."
"The enemy commander is flying a banner with the character 'Ji' on it!"
"The banner with the character 'Ji' on it?"
"Could it be that scoundrel Ji Ling?"
The three brothers, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, rushed out of their tents.
However, their 50,000 troops, facing an enemy force that covered the mountains and plains, quickly fell into panic.
Moreover, Ji Ling had come prepared.
He adopted Yang Hong's strategy, deliberately using those six counties to lure Liu Bei, and then ambushed 200,000 troops in this valley, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Liu Bei when the time was right!
Liu Bei was actually quite good at commanding troops, especially guerrilla warfare and small armies of less than 10,000 men, which he managed to master.
But 50,000 troops is considered a large-scale army.
These soldiers were all from Jingzhou and lacked identification with Liu Bei, their supreme commander.
Moreover, Liu Bei had a very bad habit of using troops.
He always preferred to pitch his camp near special terrains such as valleys and dense forests.
Caught off guard by Ji Ling's ambush, Liu Bei suffered a crushing defeat.
Less than 10,000 men remained and followed the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei back to Jingzhou.
When Cai Mao and Kuai Yue learned of the news, they were naturally furious and kept hurling insults at Liu Bei in front of Liu Biao!
Liu Biao was speechless.
This is... they gave him money and food, but Liu Bei is useless!
But right now, Liu Biao has no better pawn than Liu Bei by his side.
The only option was to continue stationing Liu Bei in Xinye and silently swallow the bitter pill of this defeat.
……
When Ji Ling and Yang Hong decisively defeated Liu Bei.
After Cao Cao rallied his troops in Xuchang, he was preparing to march on Runan.
Suddenly, an urgent message arrived in Xuchang from the intelligence corps.
After reading it, Cao Cao burst into laughter.
This is another instance of Yuan Shu aiding the enemy since he declared himself emperor!
In the previous war with Yuan Shu, of the counties in Yu Province, apart from the largest Runan, there was only one Chenguo County that was not captured by Cao Cao's army.
But Chen State County is special.
Nominally, this was the territory of Prince Chen, the younger brother of Emperor Huan of Han, Liu Zhi.
In reality, Yuan Shu had long since sidelined him, and Prince Chen had become a figurehead.
But no matter how much of a mascot he is, he is still a prince of the Han Dynasty, and besides, the Han Dynasty is not yet extinct.
Since Yuan Shu declared himself emperor, Prince Chen has opposed Yuan Shu.
Enraged, Yuan Shu imprisoned Prince Chen.
Intelligence gathered that Prince Chen had committed suicide in prison not long ago.
Before he died, he left behind a letter written in blood.
The original document was naturally taken by Yuan Shu.
But the content spread like wildfire.
King Chen was a kind and generous man, and had a very good reputation in Chen State.
Yuan Shu's murder of the King of Chen has greatly angered the people of Chen State.
Yuan Shu personally appointed the governor of Chenguo Commandery, who, persuaded by the powerful families of Chenguo Commandery, also planned to surrender to Cao Cao.
In other words, Yuan Shu's territory in Yu Province was reduced to only Runan.
The surrendered soldiers of Chenguo County are about to transform into the vanguard of Cao Cao's army as they march straight to Runan!
