Jia Xu was silent for a while, then pointed to the map and said: "Then put Cao Cao in Ganling City, so that the rebels' intentions can be partially realized, so that Yuan Shao's attack will be weakened, and the losses of the army on the battlefield on the western road will be greatly reduced." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The rebels' target was the central part of Jizhou, and if they took the city of Xindu in Anping, they basically took most of Jizhou, but in order to achieve this goal, the three armies must cooperate with each other and maintain a suitable distance in order to support each other. If we put Cao Cao into the Qinghe Kingdom first, it is equivalent to disrupting the distance between the rebels of the three routes, so that our opportunity has come. ”

"After Cao Cao entered the Qinghe Kingdom, he entered the stage of stalemate with us. At this time, in order to continue to go north, he must get the cooperation of the left and right wings, and he will constantly urge Yuan Shao to attack Yecheng. ”

"At the same time, in order to stop Cao Cao, we must transfer troops from the east to support the middle battlefield. As long as our reinforcements rush to Qinghe State, and Yuan Shao has already approached Yecheng, Cao Cao will definitely divide his troops to support Gongsun Chan in this foolproof situation, so that Gongsun Chan can take advantage of the weak strength of the battlefield on the east road to storm Nanpi. ”

"The opportunity to annihilate the enemy is in this mobilization, and the passivity of our current forces has therefore been transformed into a strategy to lure the enemy."

Li Yi, Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xu Shu, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and others already understood what Jia Xu meant, and couldn't help nodding again and again.

"It seems that in order to stabilize the people's hearts, I, the general, am going to move to Qinghe Country." Li Yi said with a smile.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "If the lord is willing to rush to the Qinghe Kingdom to command, then we will be more accurate in grasping the opportunity, and the chances of winning this battle will be greater." Jia Xu said with a smile, "Yuan Shu's kind of nonsense is unreliable, if there is, we can take advantage of it, if not, it is simply a trap, we can't give up, we have to take advantage of Yuan Shu's opportunity in the Central Plains to make this matter true, let Cao Cao believe it at the right time, let him take care of one thing and lose the other, even if he makes mistakes, it is difficult for him to be undefeated." ”

Li Yi thought of Yuan Shu's annoyed and angry appearance, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "When I was in Luoyang, Yuan Highway asked Gongda to bring me a message, but I didn't expect that I would use this sentence on him today, I am really sorry for him." ”

Xun You laughed.

Sima Yi approached Xun You curiously and asked, "Brother Gongda, what did Yuan Shu ask you to bring?" ”

"Yuan Shu said that national politics is fraud, and the truth of the soldier's trickery is the same." Xun You smiled, "This time, regardless of whether Yuan Shu lied to us or not, let's lie to him first." ”

At the beginning of June, Dongbu Yang.

The fire on the city wall is still burning, Daxu is still fluttering in the air, and the colorful battle flags are still dancing in the wind, but the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army have begun to retreat.

Guo Zhen, a soldier of the Northern Xinjiang Army, was covered in blood, lying under the corner of the city wall and crying: "Why do you want to go? We didn't defeat, why retreat? ”

"You kid still won't let people live?" The team leader Huatai kicked him in the leg and scolded angrily, "Military orders are like mountains, military law is ruthless, don't you know? You disobeyed military discipline and cut off your head alone, but the bowl is a big scar, but one of our team members accompanied you to cut off your head, which is dozens of scars. ”

"I'm not leaving." Guo Zhen cried sadly, "A hundred people came out of the tun together, and now there are only sixty-four people left, I want revenge, I won't leave." ”

"Stinky boy, do you want your aunt to be widowed and your little brother to have no father?" Huatai was so angry that he raised his foot and wanted to kick him again.

Du Hong, a soldier standing on the side, hurriedly pulled it and persuaded: "Forget it, forget it, he is still a child, if he fights a few more battles, and if there are many deaths, he will see it." ”

"What are you doing? Beating a soldier? A majestic voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.

Huatai was startled and hurriedly looked back. Li Zhong was looking at him with a smile, and next to Li Zhong stood a tall and burly, majestic man, who looked like a big man, and he was the one who spoke just now.

"General......" Huatai and Du Hong hurriedly saluted.

"No courtesy......" Li Zhong waved his hand, "This is Guan Yu, the general of Zhengdong." ”

The two of them were dizzy and wanted to salute again. Guan Yu raised the whip in his hand and said loudly: "Excuse me." What's that kid all about? What are you crying about? I don't cry when I fight, but I cry when I don't fight, which is interesting. ”

When Guo Zhen heard the words "General Zhengdong", he was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry. He always thought that the biggest official he saw was Li Zhong, the general of Weilie Zhonglang, but he didn't expect to see another general today, and he was also a big general of Zhengdong, this is a legendary figure in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and it is said that he is still the righteous brother of the lord. He forgot to salute.

"General, our team lost too much when we evacuated the river embankment, and more than a dozen people died during the days of defending the city, and everyone was a ...... of the villagers."

Huatai said two words, his nose was sore, and he couldn't go on.

"Hmph......" Guan Yu snorted coldly, "Butcher Cao won't live for a few days, and if he kills too many people, God won't spare him." ”

"Hurry up and get down." Li Zhong stretched out his hand and touched Guo Zhen's head and said, "When we get to the big river, we will kill him again." ”

"General, let's retreat to the Great River?" Huatai asked Li Zhongdao in surprise.

Seeing Li Zhong nodding, Huatai raised his leg and kicked Guo Zhen again, and said loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's a good place to kill people, haha......"

………………

In early June, Changsangsu.

Yuan Shao, accompanied by Shen Pei, Guo Tu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Yuan Wei, Ma Teng and others, rushed to the Changshoujin Ferry.

On the embankment, there were stalls of dried blood everywhere, and the strong smell of blood made people dizzy and unbearable.

Three miles in front of the ferry was a high slope, on which the Northern Frontier Army set up horse rejection and deer barricades, dug several deep and wide ditches, and erected hundreds of ballista trucks and dozens of catapults.

Tens of thousands of Yuan troops fought here for more than ten days, but they found nothing but a few thousand corpses.

"These Yellow Turban thieves are more cunning than foxes, and after getting the ordnance of Northern Xinjiang, their strength has increased exponentially, and it is too difficult to fight." Yuan Wei sighed in frustration, at a loss.

"Now the direction of Liyang is blocked by Yu Poison, the direction of Puyangjin is blocked by Wu Ba, the direction of Neihuang is blocked by Sima Ju, the direction of Yecheng is blocked by Lu Bu, and here another Guanhai is blocked. Originally, he hoped that Liu Biao, who was in the direction of Hemucheng, could open up the situation, but he gave a surprise attack to the iron cavalry in the northern Xinjiang, and after killing thousands of people at once, he was unwilling to go north alone, saying that the soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, and it was difficult to continue. Yuan Shao complained dissatisfiedly, "Cao Cao has already taken Dongwuyang and Yangping, and is about to attack the Qinghe Kingdom, and we are still on the embankment of the Yellow River, shame." ”

"If Zhang Yang can make a breakthrough in the direction of Neihuang or Yecheng, we will be able to stride north." Guo Tu said regretfully, "It's a pity that he is still hanging around Montenegro, I don't know how he fought this battle?" ”

"Send someone to urge again." Yuan Shao thought for a while, then pointed to Guo Tu and said, "Gongzhi, it's better for you to go to Montenegro in person." ”

"Lord, I heard that Zhang Yang and Lu Bu secretly met once." Gao Gan whispered.

Yuan Shao was taken aback, turned his face to look at him, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did the news come from?" ”

"Zhang Yang's subordinate Yang Chou said." Gao Gan leaned close to his ear and said, "Yang Chou has a good relationship with my subordinate Xia Zhao, and this news was brought to Xia Zhao by him by asking someone." ”

Yuan Shao hurriedly said, "Where is Xia Zhao?" Tell him to come to me at once. ”

………………

In early June, Qin Ting.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and Liu Pet gathered to discuss matters.

The situation in the three battlefields now appears to have basically achieved the initial objectives. Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the middle have successfully attacked the first line of Fagan, Leping, and Liaocheng, and they are still one hundred and fifty miles away from Ganling City.

Gongsun Zan on the east road used 50,000 horses to contain the same number of northern Xinjiang troops, and only Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Zhang Yang on the west road were blocked from attacking, and so far they have not been able to achieve good results.

However, it was precisely because they successfully pinned down the most powerful main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army that Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army were able to attack in the middle.

"The next attack strategy is to contain the two wings and attack in the middle." Cao Cao said excitedly, "After more than ten days of fierce fighting, our troop deployment has been fully exposed, under the fierce attack of our attacking armies from all directions, the Northern Frontier Army is very passive, in order to change this passive situation, Li Yi will immediately adjust the troops, from the east and west flanks of the battlefield to support the middle road, to block our attack on Ganling City." ”

In order to quickly take Ganling City and attract more Northern Xinjiang Army to support the middle route, so as to help the armies of the two flanks of the battlefield to successfully kill Yecheng and Nanpi, and prepare for the next step of the three routes of the army marching together and joining the army in Xindu City in the middle of Jizhou, Cao Cao suggested that troops should be immediately transferred from the western battlefield to strengthen the strength of the middle route army.

Liu Biao's Jingzhou army and Ma Teng's Xiliang Iron Cavalry will turn to the middle battlefield, join Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army, and attack and advance to Ganling City with a force of 200,000 troops.

This was originally agreed, and Liu Biao and Ma Teng had no objections, and immediately agreed.

If the army on the middle road can quickly capture Ganling City and force Xindu, the Northern Xinjiang Army will have to draw more troops to support the middle road, so that Yuan Shao on the battlefield on the west road will soon be able to break the current stalemate and quickly approach Yecheng, and Cao Cao can also take the opportunity to divide troops to support Gongsun Chan and help Gongsun Chan quickly kill Nanpi.

In this way, the medium-term attack objectives of the Northern Expeditionary Army were all achieved.

Cao Cao looked up at Yuan Shao and said with a smile: "Brother Benchu, whether I can capture Ganling City as quickly as possible depends on whether you can launch a more fierce attack on the battlefield on the Western Road." ”

Yuan Shao smiled lightly and said, "I immediately ordered Zhang Yang and Han Hao to join forces and defeat Neihuang first." After the defeat of Neihuang, the back road of the Northern Xinjiang Army was cut off, and the grain and grass could not be supplied, so Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu had to withdraw if they did not withdraw. ”

Cao Cao nodded happily, then turned his face to look at Yuan Shu, and said, "Highway, no matter what, you have to ensure that the grain and grass are continuously transported to Hebei, this matter is no joke." ”

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "If the prime minister is not at ease, you stay in Yanzhou, and I will go to the front to command the army." ”

Cao Cao laughed, and Yuan Shu looked unhappy. (To be continued.) )
