Vol 2 Chapter 999: Xishui Xiongguan

Throughout the life of Yuan Shao, these words can be used to sum up briefly: "The wind is fierce as a tiger, and the wind is a nest".
In the history without serious business interference, the strategic situation of Yuan Shao after the discussion of Dong was quite bad. It only occupied a small place in the Bohai Sea, and even its own army had to rely on Han Yu to help.
At that time, Han Yan had felt the threat of Yuan Shao and began to gradually reduce the supply of grain to Yuan Shao in an attempt to resolve Yuan Shao with relatively gentle means.
Then Yuan Shao made a decisive attack, and the Sun Yat-sen of Beilian got the righteousness and won the rich land of Jizhou without spending a single soldier.
But even so, Yuan Shao's strategic posture has not changed much. At that time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu broke up. Yuan Shao was threatened by Gongsun Yu in the north, Yuan Shu, who was the most prominent at the time, in the south, Tao Qian and Kong Rong, and Zhang Yan's Heishan Army eager to try. It can be said that Jizhou was looked around by the men. Dangerous.
In this case, Yuan Shao did not panic, and decisively united with Cao Cao. He rejected Gongsun in the north and Yuan Shu in the south, defeated the three-party coalition forces of Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Yuan, and successively achieved great victories. In the end, he swallowed Youqing and Sanzhou in one breath, completing the northern hegemony together.
It can be said that Yuan Shao at that time was the prince who was closest to the goal of unifying the Chinese nation.
Unfortunately, from this moment on, Yuan Shao turned on the "windward one nest rat" mode, a blind operation of flowers and whistles, which made it difficult for the good cards to be exchanged.
Previously, Shang Yang looked down on Yuan Shao, thinking that he was the second ancestor of a defeated family, but today, the princes who can make such achievements are not for nothing!
Yuan Shao let go of all worries and started desperately, finally showing the potential of the world's largest princes. He said in a few words that the retreating princes were forced into a dead end, completely killing the thought of surrender.
Then, they tried to disagree with each other, and awarded and honored Sun Jian and Gong Sunzhen, which strengthened the determination of the two main players to continue to discuss Dong.
After that, the army's discipline regulations were resolutely rectified, and a loose sand coalition was initially integrated.
It stands to reason that this was an impossible task. The relations between the various princes were intricate and complicated. To integrate the army involved too many things, but Yuan Shao insisted on persuading all the princes to support the new rules.
Of course, in the process, Yuan Shao's selflessness and self-giving spirit earned him high honors. Yuan Unionist Bo Yuntian was impartial and selfless throughout the coalition forces.
In fact, he has indeed achieved fairness and justice. Otherwise, no matter how much rhetoric, it is impossible to integrate the princes.
It took about half a month for the vassal coalition to make adjustments. After the reorganization, the vassal coalition forces have not changed in strength, but their overall combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
The first aspect was morale. Yuan Shao pulled a group of princes and sent condolences to the camps day and night. They bluntly pulled up the low morale caused by the vanguard's defeat.
On the other hand, the joint forces of the coalition forces have a preliminary coordination and coordination, and a uniform military order. Unlike before, the coalition forces were actually stationed together.
These changes are inconspicuous, but they have really improved the combat effectiveness of the coalition.
Half a month later, the high-spirited and stable coalition forces set off again, heading towards Lishuiguan.
The coalition was very cautious during the march, with front horses and backs, left and right wings, and ranger guards. The ministries maintained strict communication and reported at any time.
Along the way, the coalition forces laid down a strict march line, and all soldiers who departed from the prescribed route were executed. Any large army dispatch requires the order of the coalition headquarters. Without ordering the army to be dispatched without authorization, the general leader directly beheaded the public!
With the efforts of Yuan Shao, this has been unanimously recognized by the princes! China
These rules are not something to be proud of the normal army, but to the coalition army composed of eighteen forces, it is an absolute miracle.
The army strictly complied with the regulations of enlisting camps at three moments, and traveling 100 miles a day. Set up camp and settle down at a glance, at the expense of great efforts to lay out Lu Chai, Arrow Tower and other buildings every night. At night, five layers of light and dark whistle were arranged within twenty miles around the army, and the twelve elite cavalry regiments took turns to maintain a high level of combat readiness, ensuring that even enemy raids could calmly respond.
The princes take turns to sit in the handsome account at night. Be sure to ensure that at least two or more princes sit in the handsome account at any time.
Although these measures are slightly rigid, they are in line with the current reality of the coalition forces.
During this period, Huaxiong led the attack several times, and the coalition forces responded properly under the command of Yuan Shao. Instead of taking advantage, Huaxiong suffered a small loss.
It should be understood that before the Xiliang Army was able to kill two princes in one fell swoop and destroy three in one fell swoop, the biggest reason was that these princes who acted as pioneers took their own money and grabbed food, relaxed their vigilance, and Huaxiong took advantage of the night attack.
Of course, the Xiliang Army has a powerful fighting force, and the demonized Huaxiong Demon mighty is also an important reason that cannot be ignored.
This time, under the auspices of Yuan Shao, the coalition forces steadily fought and did not give Huaxiong a chance to take advantage. Seven million elite troops, including a large number of high-end special legions, Huaxiong did not dare to fight harder three or five times.
It is said that the generals who can stand alone with the demonized Huaxiong without falling into the wind have more than two hands!
After Huaxiong had eaten a few small losses, he dared not continue to presumptuously. The coalition forces steadily beat all the way, and it took nearly half a month to arrive at Rongyang-Lushuiguan!
"Is this the Lishui Pass known as the first portal of Liyang?"
Shang Yang and a number of princes came across the horse, murmured at the magnificent checkpoint in the distance.
"That's right, here is the Wushui Pass. After passing this level, there will be Tiger Prison, and then we can hit Dong Zei's lair."
Yuan Shaoling stood up, his eyes were radiantly looking at Yuanshuiguan in the distance, he said loudly.
"But how can you overcome it?"
Looking at the horror checkpoint with a maximum height of 100 meters, Shang Ye asked with a headache.
The walls of Lishuiguan are not long ~ EbookFREE.me ~ only about 15 miles. The pass is built on the mountain, and there are vast mountains on the left and right sides. There is only one pass that can be entered.
The terrain here is extremely dangerous. The construction of the checkpoint is directly compared to the imperial city. The main body of the building is cold iron stone, and a few key parts even use star rock. You should know that Xingxingyan is the raw ore from which Xingchen Iron is extracted, and Xingchen Iron is the most commonly used material for creating high-level weapons and equipment of spiritual level and above!
Shang Yan looked closely, and he could vaguely see that the city was equipped with a large number of defensive equipment. Huaxiong led a million elite troops stationed at Lishuiguan.
At this time, Huaxiong himself was leading 300,000 elite troops stationed under the checkpoint, forming a linkage with the checkpoint one mile and one mile away, to avoid the situation where long guards must be lost.
From Shang Ye's perspective, even if the coalition forces attacked with all their strength, they would not be able to open the water gate in half a year!
But is it possible that the coalition will spend half a year here?
This is of course impossible, not to mention how long Yuan Shao ’s supernatural state can be maintained. In just half a year, the money, food and supplies needed for the 7 million elite army to cross the state expedition can bankrupt the princes' finances!
