Chapter 1553: The Battle of Xuzhou (150)
The current situation is indeed unexpected, at least few people can think that Houqian can last too long, but in the current situation, the situation is really very unfavorable to the Jizhou army. Although Guan Yu and Liu Lan were very competitive in the deduction, the offensive and defensive deductions aside, the current situation is undoubtedly the best situation for them.
Not to mention whether Houqian will evade the battle again after retreating to Changyang, but if he really plans to fight to the death with the Jizhou army in Changyang County, then Liu Lan will never stand by and watch, he will suddenly attack when the two sides are fighting, kill two birds with one stone, and completely solve these two troubles.
Speaking of this, he looked at Zang Ba, before he said anything, the latter had read everything from his gaze, first of all, it was impossible for them to send troops to infiltrate Qingzhou because of this matter, so they could only rely on the Qingzhou army to solve it, and now the Qingzhou army he sent was in Chengyang County, as long as the news was timely, when they arrived in Changyang County, presumably Houqian and the Jizhou army would have been killed.
Of course, the Qingzhou army also has to be careful, once Houqian chooses to avoid the war again after arriving in Changyang, then Qingzhou must be careful, so as not to be discovered by the Jizhou army, and all the anger will be sprinkled on us.
Although Liu Lan said this half-jokingly, the enemy army knows what the significance of the Qingzhou Army entering Qingzhou is, if it was planned to add a fire to Qingzhou before, then now it is to stir Qingzhou upside down, then it must not meet the Jizhou Army or even Houqian in the front.
However, according to the current situation, Hou Qian can escape to Changyang County, so that the Jizhou army has repeatedly missed, although it seems a little incredible, but behind this is enough to show that Hou Qian has long been different from what it used to be, he already has a certain strategic vision, so it is expected that he will fight with the Jizhou army in Changyang County, and the possibility of hitting the stone with an egg is not big, otherwise Mu Ping is his lair, where it is more certain to fight with the Jizhou army, but he does not, that is to say, he has his own plan, or has planned a plan, Now I'm waiting for the Jizhou army to take the bait.
If the Jizhou army enters Changyang County, what the money wants to do when the time comes, it will be ready to come out.
In fact, whether it is Liu Lan or Guan Yu at this moment, the most curious thing is what Houqian wants to do, although several people have made some guesses, but there is still no answer to convince everyone, and the most important point is that everyone does not know what the purpose of Houqian is.
In such a situation, it is inevitable that many people will associate Houqian with Liu Lan, and feel that there is Liu Lan's shadow behind Houqian, which is planning to delay the Jizhou Army, and even Zang Ba Huang Zhong and others have such doubts, but Liu Lan knows that this is not a fact, he hopes that Houqian has always been under his account, but unfortunately this is not a fact, so he is very curious about the real purpose of Houqian at this moment, what is he going to do?
has been going around in circles in Donglai, and there is no benefit to Houqian, unless from beginning to end, they are just a bait, once they cheat Houqian to Changyang County, they will attack Muping Huang County in an instant, this may be the biggest, but even if Mu Ping and Huang County are defeated, what good is it to Houqian? After all, these two counties were under his control before, and if there was anything there he wanted, he should have gotten it.
"Maybe Hou Qian is to let the Jizhou army go around in circles with them in Donglai, and once the management commander learns that Huang County has been attacked in Changyang, can he not save Huang County, maybe the real purpose of Hou Qian is to mobilize the Jizhou army, wait for the opportunity to appear, and eliminate them in one fell swoop."
After Zang Ba finished speaking, Liu Lan fell silent, but then Guan Yu shook his head and said: "If I were Houqian, I wouldn't do such a thing, the gains outweigh the losses, after all, although he is only facing these 30,000 people now, don't forget that the Jizhou army has more than 100,000 horses in Qingzhou, even if he really defeats Guan Tong, but after that, he angered Wen Chou and entered Donglai in a big way, and Houqian has no reason to survive, so I think that he is retreating now, not to wait for an opportunity to eliminate Guan Tong and his Jizhou army, Rather, it serves another purpose. ”
There are some words Guan Yu does not dare to make a decision easily, but in fact, he has made it very clear that Houqian will never be stupid enough to fight against the Jizhou army, then his purpose is likely to be to lead the disaster to the east, and from the current situation, there are more and more people who believe that the news that the back money is Liu Lan is true, from which it can be seen that Houqian may want to lead the Jizhou army to Xuzhou, as long as he can lead the disaster to the east, then he can be unscrupulous in Donglai, and while we are fighting with the Jizhou army at the same time, He will be able to control Donglai, and the two troubles he fears the most will not have time to take care of him because of his confrontation.
Guan Yu's analysis makes people chill behind their backs, this may be very big, at least everyone thinks it is very likely, and in addition, there is really no more reasonable explanation.
But what confidence does Hou Qian have to guarantee that Guan Tong will definitely come to Xuzhou, even Gao Ran doesn't dare to come over at this moment, is it difficult for him to eat the ambition leopard guts?
But soon, everyone seemed to have figured it out, because he didn't need to lead Guan Tong to Xuzhou at all, just let Guan Tong know that he had fled to Xuzhou, so that everything Hou Qian did in Qingzhou would be counted on Liu Lan, and without Hou Qian's attack, I was afraid that the battle of Xuzhou would not be too far.
Is this really the plan for the back money? Especially regardless of Hou Qian's progress into Xuzhou, he just needs to make an illusion of entering Xuzhou, and the most critical thing after this is that the Qingzhou Army and the Liaodong Army are heading to Donglai, and the disappearance of Hou Qian coupled with the appearance of these two troops, I am afraid that no one in the world will believe that Hou Qian has nothing to do with him.
This money, I hope you don't really bring the trouble over.
Originally, Liu Lan was very happy about Hou Qian's attack on Donglai and helped him a lot, but now it seems that Hou Qian not only shared his worries, but also gave him more headaches, if he really secretly Chen Cang led the Jizhou army to Langya, then they would really be ridiculed by the world.
He won't be fooled by the money, but he can't guarantee that Wen Chou won't be fooled, and when the war on their side is in full swing, they will become the laughing stock of the whole world.
Of course, Hou Qian is bound to shock the world because of this battle, and his prestige will inevitably make him the most powerful one in the world, and he will recruit more soldiers in Donglai because of this, taking advantage of their confrontation with Yuan Shao, attacking the city and plundering the land, and it is not impossible to become a new force in Kwantung.
Even if he can't gain a foothold in Qingzhou in the end, with his prestige at that time and his influence in Donglai County, he can completely be the emperor of one party.
For such a situation, Liu Lan must take precautions and resolutely not let the ghost idea of Houqian succeed.
And at this moment, after strengthening the confidence to attack Pei County, Cao Cao raised the account early the next morning, such a discussion has been lost for a long time, since Guan Yu left Pei County, Cao Cao has not been raised again, and today suddenly raised the account, many generals felt extremely surprised for the first time, until the drum sounded twice, this was not very bad, and hurriedly ran out of the camp tent and rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The generals entered the account one after another, and then Cao Cao transferred out of the inner tent and sat down in the main seat, his opening remarks were very simple, that is, to explain the current situation in detail, and bluntly said that the time was ripe to attack Pei County.
Cao Cao didn't say anything about the pressure from Shouchun's side, there was no need, he was completely based on the current situation, no matter when Yuan Shao and Liu Lan clashed, they had to be prepared, and capturing Pei County was the primary purpose, and they couldn't beat Pei County, so once Yuan Shao and Liu Lan fought, and then attacked, it would be too late, and when they defeated Pei County and sent troops to Qingzhou, where might the victory or defeat have already been generated, and even one side may have already taken advantage of the victory to pursue.
Of course, he himself hoped that Yuan Shao would win, but if Yuan Shao won, if they had some accidents in Pei County, then by the time they rushed to Xuzhou and Pengcheng, it would be too late, so it was wisest to prepare in advance and wait for news from Langya.
Cao Cao's attitude was very firm, but there was a whisper in the big tent, although Cao Cao said it very clearly and plainly, but it was more like a contradictory explanation, because it was too far from their original idea, first of all, Yuan Shao and Liu Lan did not face each other, they went to attack Pei County, which was meaningless.
On the contrary, it will arouse Liu Lan's promotion and attention, even if Liu Lan is defeated in Langya, it will not be too easy for them to enter Xuzhou, and secondly, Yuan Shao may not be able to win, even if they capture Pei County now, if Yuan Shao is defeated, they will still have to withdraw from Pei County at that time, which is also meaningless.
