After Bohai County experienced a battle with Gongsun Zan last year, there were not many soldiers left in the county, and only 20,000 troops remained in the past to recruit troops in various counties.

20,000 soldiers gathered in one place can still support a battle. However, if the soldiers are transferred to all sides and carried out in parallel, it is very likely that they will not be able to take care of both the beginning and the end.

The Bohai Sea must be guarded, Qingzhou must be occupied, if there is a careless slight difference in the pool, it is the situation that the Bohai Sea cannot be guarded and Qingzhou cannot be occupied!

Yuan Shao is not gambling.

At the moment, there is no perfect solution for him. The northwest competed with the Yan family, and the Yuan family fell behind, even if Yanbei was reluctant to start a war this year, could it not fight next year? Even if he doesn't fight next year, he will rely on a Bohai County to spend the year after next, what's the point?

The longer it dragged on, the less he had the capital to go against Yanbei.

Instead of being cut by a blunt knife, it is better to jump out of Jizhou and fight fiercely!

The Bohai Navy crossed the river under the banner of Yuan and the scorching sun and broke through to the counties of Qingzhou...... There was no suspense, the name of the Yuan clan made those counties and county governments open the city gates, let the Yuan garrison, and there was no war, and the banner of the Yuan clan was enshrined in every city in Qingzhou, even the Beihai County of Kong Rong was no exception.

As for Donglai, it has long been wiped out by Yuan's navy, Huangxian Chengchi was broken three days before Yuan Shao entered Beihai, the defenders broke through after the city was broken, and more than 300 Yan soldiers were scattered among the countryside, leaving them only to become bandits.

Taking over Qingzhou is far smoother than expected!

In just more than ten days, Qingzhou was completely restored to the hands of the Yuan family, and there were more than 7,000 more soldiers for Yuan Shao to drive, scattered all over the place. This is great news, because Liu Bei is only the assassin of Qingzhou, not to mention that most of the officials in Qingzhou are local scholars, and they are not satisfied with Liu Bei's background, and there are not too many counties and counties that fall to his rule, not to mention that Liu Bei is not a rule in Qingzhou. He is like a general who owns land, like Gongsun Zhan, and he doesn't have much room to govern.

The county soldiers in various places are in the hands of the Taishou Captain, Liu Bei can really drive only the plain country, the plain country has more than 8,000 soldiers, Liu Bei can't bear to take them all, leaving 2,000 garrison counties, and leading 6,000 soldiers and horses to Xuzhou, Kong Rong sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to Beihai on the way, which is considered to have 9,000 soldiers.

And the remaining soldiers in Qingzhou naturally went into Yuan's pocket.

When Yuan Shaochu arrived in Qingzhou, he didn't care about anything else, so he first sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to control the ferry on both sides of the Yellow River, in case his Bohai Navy could have a way out after leaking news...... Yuan Shao gambled very clearly, he was not betting on whether he could win against Yanbei, he knew that it would be difficult for him to win in the face of the Yan clan, which was better than the Bohai Sea in terms of region, population, soldiers, and wealth.

He bet that Yanbei didn't know that he had captured Qingzhou before this winter.

Once the Bohai Sea provocation is opened, Chun Yuqiong and the others will have to retreat slowly, even if they abandon the Bohai Sea. exchanged Qingzhou for Bohai, Yuan Shao earned. If you have enough luck, you won't start a war before winter, and you will be able to compete with Yanbei in Jizhou next year!

He is not worried about Yanzhou in the west, even if the relationship with Cao Mengde is no longer close, but they are still the two closest among the princes in the world.

If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you really get to that point, there will be no one who will not declare war.

Not to mention Xuzhou in the south, Liu Bei and Tao Qian are too busy to take care of themselves, where do they still have the heart to come to Qingzhou to find trouble...... The growth of Meng Dexian's brother should not be underestimated. Unconsciously, the stunned young man who set up a five-colored stick staff in Luoyang to kill Uncle Jian Shuo has grown into an invincible famous general and the princes of Yanzhou.

"When people meet, they are mysterious...... Is this the warship of Liaodong? ”

Yuan Shao rode into the port of Huangxian County, looked at the huge warships moored on the coast, and chuckled, Liaodong craftsmen were ingenious and built such warships. "If it falls into the hands of Yuan today, it will make it shine!"

Five nearly 20 fighting ships across the sea, compared with the Ke how huge, not to mention that the craftsmanship is not much better than the river boats made by Luoyang craftsmen in the past, and it has a good material of Liaodong giant wood, and the performance is better...... Although such a warship can be built in the Bohai Sea, it is limited by the qualification of timber after all, and the wood is limited, so if you build one, you will have one less.

There are more than 100 ships in the Bohai Sea, but most of them are river boats, and there are almost no sea boats. This is also a matter of ambition, Yuan Shao never considered the plan to go north or east, highlighting the Central Plains, he wanted to go south to the Central Plains after unifying Hebei; But Yanbei is different, Liaodong is his hometown, and it is also the place where the Han people in Youzhou have the most borders with foreign people, and the deepest influence of the land on his blood is the idea of a corner of peace, if you want to be safe, you must sweep away the surrounding enemies.

Comparatively, the Yi people overseas are more dangerous than the Han Chinese.

There are no river boats in Liaodong, all of them are sea boats.

These ordinary warships in the hands of Yanbei, for Yuan Shao, are a sharp weapon that can sweep away Youzhou's overseas islands!

The battle of Donglai made Lu Weihuang, the captain of the Bohai Sea Navy Army, raise his eyebrows, and at this time he said to Yuan Shao with a sense of merit: "Yuan Gong, in this battle, I Bohai Sea captured more than ten of its long ships and dozens of short boats, swept its north and south Changshan Island, Daheishan Island Water Village, and broke thousands of enemies, which can make its Liaodong Navy vitality greatly injured!" ”

Yuan Shao shook his head when he heard this, and what Lu Weihuang said was true. Liaodong County sea ships are very prosperous, listen to their Bohai envoys in Liaodong to see and hear, as early as two or three years ago when Yanbei was stationed in Liaodong, the shipbuilders on the coast of Wenxian County stretched for more than ten miles, and there were nearly 100 keels drying on the coast at the same time.

Now two or three years have passed, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be no less than 200 warships in Liaodong, and there will never be less than 100 warships of more than 10 zhang.

Destroying more than a dozen ships in Liaodong at one time and capturing more than ten long ships means that the navy of Liaodong County will be at least 10,000 soldiers short in transporting soldiers.

This is worthy of praise, but Yuan Shao couldn't praise Lu Weihuang, but instead said: "The coast has been frozen for several months, and the garrison cannot be underestimated before the freeze, we are taking advantage of the surprise attack to capture Huang County, if not, Captain Lu's army may fight with the Huang County garrison on the sea?" ”

Lu Weihuang was deflated and didn't dare to answer.

His riverboat was unstable when it left the coast, how could he fight against the sea ships of Liaodong?

However, Yuan Shao was too late to knock Lu Weihuang, and black spots suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance that were rapidly approaching the coast, which were burning Bohai river boats, dragging black smoke towards the Donglai coast where they depended for their lives.

Immediately behind, there was a large number of sea ships with swallow flags, like wolves on the sea, chasing after each other, and at a cursory glance, a large area was densely packed.

With the sound of the collapse of the strings on the huge fighting ship, the strong crossbow of Liaozao Wugang, which was firmly nailed to the piercing head, shot a thick spear arrow, penetrating the sail of the rivership, and the fire became more and more rapid with a fire oil tank hanging on the spear. The ship leaked and caught fire, and the nearest riverboat flying the Yuan Ziqi slowly sank less than ten miles from the coast, while those Liaodong warships showed their sharp fangs towards the port of Huangxian, which made people shudder.

Tian Yu stepped on the bow of the ship hanging with five-colored brocade, his eyes glared angrily at the port of Huangxian County, and he pulled out the ring knife inserted in the bow of the ship, raised the knife and shouted angrily: "Kill, destroy the city and pull out the village, burn the ship and capture the flag!" ”
