Xian Yufu's reminder, it can be said that it is true that Xu Huang specially told him before leaving, in the past few years, whenever Xu Huang went to Youbeiping to support Gongsun Zhan, he would encounter similar things on his return, and now the three counties of Karasuma, Liaodong have basically been cleared, or they have all been driven out, they either run into Xianbei in the east, or enter the Liaodong vassal country and Liaoxi in the west.

It is precisely because of this that Sanjun Karasuma hates Xu Huang's existence to the core, and he does not want to annihilate him all the time, after receiving Yuan Shao's letter, although he will intercept it, he will never dare to come rashly, but after making a trade-off, otherwise he will be hit again.

The current three counties Karasuma has already learned to be smart, and there is a chance of victory, no chance of winning, and they will never dare to provoke, and this time the situation is more special, because they are no more than 10,000 people, if it is a cold winter, the Karasuma people also do not dare to fight in winter, although they know that they want to pass through the Liaodong vassal country, but they can only choose to give up, but if it is spring, then the possibility of them to intercept is too great.

For the three counties of Karasuma, Liu Lan initially had a misunderstanding about them, it can be said that the same is true for later historians, Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County, and there is no controversy, but for Liaodong vassal countries, there are many voices, and there are many historians who interpret it as Liaodong County or Shanggu County, but this is debatable.

And after Liu Lan came to this era, he personally crusaded against the three counties of Karasuma, and naturally knew the situation of the Liaodong subject country, in fact, Liu Lan has also been thinking about expanding to the Liaodong subject country in the west, he remembered that the later Liaodong subject country was changed to Changli County, but now here, except for nomads like Karasuma, there are not many county towns where the Han people live, even if it is the largest Changli County, it is actually no different from the small county town in the Central Plains.

And because the scope of the subject state of Liaodong is too large, it is equivalent to from Liaozhong to Chengde in later generations, this range is not easy to attack, and it is not easy to defend, so Liu Lan has always asked Xu Huang to guard Liaodong, the simplest truth, if you get the subject country of Liaodong, regardless of whether it is changed to Changli County, because it is close to Youbeiping and Liaoxi, Yuan Shao attacked, it was relatively easy, but if it was to defend Liaodong, then Yuan Shao would have to pass through the subject country of Liaodong to be able to attack him.

And this is also the reason why Yuan Shao has not come to attack Liaodong even if he has captured the right Beiping and Liaoxi over the years, compared to attacking Liaodong, it is obvious that Qingzhou is the best choice, and there is no need to take the risk of a long journey, after all, this road is just a march, and the cavalry will take more than a month, and Jizhou is mainly infantry, and it will take half a year to Liaodong without March, and when the army arrives in Liaodong, the variables are too great, even if the generals under the account have confidence, but Yuan Shao and a group of advisers are a little weak-hearted.

Not to mention whether there will be any danger when the time comes, even if the journey is smooth, after the main force penetrates deep into Liaodong, it means that Jizhou is empty, Liu Lan can send troops to Jizhou and cooperate with Xu Huang in Liaodong, once there is any threat in Jizhou, even if he wants to send the main force back to support, he can't do anything, and this is the reason why Yuan Shao can even say that his advisers have not dared to move Liaodong.

The subject state of Liaodong has become a natural barrier to protect Liaodong County, but the subject country of Liaodong has also become a barrier for Yuan Shao to surround Youzhou, plus the Karasuma in the county, it will also make Xu Huang feel jealous, as if at this moment, Xian Yufu's statement undoubtedly hit Tian Yu's three inches, and talked about his sore spot.

Although Tian Yu also knows that this possibility is almost zero, now he knows too well the weather conditions in Youbeiping and Liaodong's vassal countries, it is difficult for them to come, Yuan Shao sent a messenger to go, it is even more impossible, the heavy snow covers the mountain and wants to see the Karasuma people, it is not easy to say in the current weather, but he does not dare to guarantee, nor dare to take risks, if the Karasuma people really receive the news, when they are on the way back, they will face the interception of the Karasuma people, and they may not be able to return to Liaodong safely.

Tian Yu was silent for a long time, slowly raised his head, looked at Xian Yufu, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but whether to withdraw the army, I still need to evaluate." ”

"I advise General Tian Yu, you know that even if you continue to stay in Lu County, it will not be possible to pose any threat to Ji County, and it will not help the war in Xuzhou, so it is best to recognize the situation now, give up greed and illusions, and return to Liaodong immediately, which is not only for you, but also for the tens of thousands of people under your account."

"Thank you, General." Tian Yu got up with a smile, at this time, he didn't want him to observe his innermost reaction, although he also understood that his previous reminder showed all his timidity, but the more this happened, the more he had to think about it carefully, after all, he couldn't be led by his nose like this.

Tian Yu sent the guests directly, and even the dinner party prepared by the servants before was exempted, and the Xian Yufu brothers, who left directly from Luxian, were completely relieved in their hearts, he knew that Tian Yu had been tempted, or had been convinced, he was really scared, it was precisely because he observed his previous reaction, so he was sure that Tian Yu would not continue to stay, although it was not clear how long he would stay, but he could finally go back to the errand, and it could also make Yuan Xi really rest assured, and there was no need to be worried.

In fact, with Tian Yu's current strength, how can he have the ability to attack the city, that is to bring about his own destruction, and even rarely wish that he would attack the city, in this way, the war will end faster.

After sending away the two Xian Yufu brothers, Tian Yu summoned all the generals under the tent, and after everyone arrived, they saw him sitting on the main seat of the council hall with a serious expression, seeing that he was so general, he didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, and it took a long time for Tian Yu to react, and when he looked up, he found that everyone had arrived and sighed and said: "You are all here." ”

"Is the general worried about the affairs of Jixian County?"

"I was right by what you said, Xian Yufu came to tell me just now that Yuan Shao has contacted the Karasuma people and wants to cut off our retreat in Liaodong's vassal country."

"Hmph, how can Xian Yufu's words be believed, if Yuan Shao really contacted the Karasuma people of the Liaodong vassal country, then he would be so kind to tell us?"

"Yes, this is also what I'm worried about, Xian Yufu will never be so kind, even if it is for Yuan Xi to invite merit in front of Yuan Shao, I also don't believe that he will be like this, if it is to invite merit, he can not tell us the truth at all, and when the time comes, cooperate with the Karasuma people to attack me back and forth, wouldn't the effect be better than now?"

The generals under the tent immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Then what is the plan of this Xian Yufu?" ”

"I don't know, but I don't have any good intentions."

Suddenly, one of them whispered: "General, when the general was still a personal soldier under the lord's account at the end of the year, he went to Zhuo County with him as an official, and at that time, the lord was not a soldier in Zhuo County, and the governor of Zhuo County was this person, could he be out of the past..."

"Private feelings and righteousness can rarely be distinguished." Tian Yu shook his head and said: "No matter what Xian Yufu's plan is, we can't mess with this matter ourselves, and we can't be in a hurry, there are still more than three months before the beginning of spring next year, we have enough time to see the situation clearly, just keep an eye on Jixian these days, if there is any news over there, we will make the final decision at that time." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~

In Pei County, the defenders of Pei County guarded the city tower, Cao Cao did not attack, they did not attack, they all stood listlessly on the city tower, and a bird came out.

At this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly came with a team of county soldiers, about 100 people, all wearing helmets and armor, holding spears and bows and arrows on their backs. After Zhang Fan ascended the city tower, he shouted: "All the Peixian troops will go downstairs, and the city defense will be taken over by the county soldiers." ”

A group of Peixian defenders looked at Zhang Fan in surprise, and one of the Bai Chang came to him and asked in a low voice: "General, let them defend the city, is it true that they are going to give up Peixian?" ”

Zhang Fan glanced at Bai Chang, who was holding the Pu knife: "This is General Zhang's order, don't ask so much, hurry up and change the guard." ”

"No."

Bai Chang led his brothers down the city tower one after another, but he was extremely worried in his heart, the county soldiers who were replaced were skinny one by one, and the most important thing was that they were even more listless than them.

But they had no choice but to accept the military order and go down to the city one by one, but when they returned to the barracks, they suddenly became stunned, because a group of people appeared in the army, they had seen, it was the county soldiers who had been changed by them before.

He still wondered if those people had never seen it before, but what was the situation in front of him, could it be that he suddenly thought of General Zhang Fan's words before, this was General Zhang's order, not the order of the military advisor or General Chen, that is to say, this change of guard was given by General Zhang Liao.

What General Zhang Liao is doing these days, of course he knows it, now after seeing the county soldiers, he immediately reacted, and they were all newly recruited young men who were replaced by feelings, this Pei County is still a fucking fart, and it is important to pack your bags quickly.

He hurriedly called a few chiefs over and told them to get ready, although he didn't dare to say some things, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army and being punished, but judging from the current situation, eight or nine are not far from ten.

And not long after he returned to the camp, he suddenly heard the bell ringing above the Zhongcheng Tower, and then ran out of the camp, but there was no sound of battle in Zhongcheng, just at the moment when he wondered, he saw a soldier running over, and then General Zhang Liao and General Xu Sheng, who were excited, took their own soldiers to Zhongcheng one after another.

They inquired everywhere about the situation, but they could never know what was going on, and it was not until the north-west that a raging fire broke out and the flames raged into the sky, that they realized what might be happening outside the city.

Ten miles away, the flames were in the sky, and the thick smoke there made Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, and Xu Sheng, who hurriedly came to the city tower, laugh loudly: "The plan was successful, and General Zhao's surprise attack was successful." ”

What does this battle mean, Chen Gong can't make an accurate judgment now, is it because of this, the Cao army is disheartened, the whole line collapsed and finally had to retreat and leave, or does Cao Cao have to break the cauldron and attack Peixian desperately, only time to verify the truth.

At this moment, Zhang Fan suddenly came with a team of county soldiers, about 100 people, all wearing helmets and armor, holding spears and bows and arrows on their backs. After Zhang Fan ascended the city tower, he shouted: "All the Peixian troops will go downstairs, and the city defense will be taken over by the county soldiers." ”
