As soon as Tian Feng left, the smile on the face of a certain city lord disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a faint mockery.

Chen Gong and Lu Zhi walked in and sat down one after another.

Chen Gong frowned and said: "Yuan Benchu asked Tian Feng to appease, but he didn't want to be tried by the lord to be insincere, so it can be seen that Yuan Benchu's large-scale attack on Qingzhou this time was not as simple as asking Liu Bei for trouble. ”

"Yes, it's not good!"

Lu Zhi's face sank like water, and he said with some annoyance: "If Yuan Benchu had the intention to make friends with my Fengxiang, before sending troops to Qingzhou, he should have sent someone to contact us, but he didn't, but he sent someone over until he was about to fight Qi State." If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Shao hopes to avoid conflict with us as much as possible before taking Pingyuan, Le'an, and Jinan, and he may even count on us to agree that we will agree to him attacking Beihai by the way, and when he completely defeats Liu Bei, he will gather the strength of the four states of Ji and Qing to attack us. At that time, the goal of 'avenging Kong Rong' will no longer be Liu Bei, but A Niu. ”

Lu Zhi has been an official in the court for many years, and he has seen a lot of political struggles, and he is still standing for decades, obviously not by luck, at least, this little ninety-nine between the princes has almost no secrets in the eyes of his old man.

Ah Niu looked calmer: "Sir, don't worry, Yuan Shao's thoughts, we don't see it, it's just a battle." Well, not long ago, that guy relied on his power to advance, and secretly sent someone to invite Mr. over, seeing that he was enthusiastic about him, I promised not to kill him. ”

A certain city lord of Lu Zhi was amused and laughed.

Chen Gong also couldn't help laughing, but Chen Gong acted rigorously and still didn't forget his business. said: "Lord, three groups of envoys have come to Qingzhou Mansion today. Please send our troops quickly. ”

"Three waves...... Qingzhou Mansion can't bear it so soon? ”

Lu Zhi sighed: "They have been supporting themselves for a month. Now almost all the plains have fallen, and Jinan has also disappeared. In addition, Liu Xuande has been seriously ill for more than a month, and has not yet recovered, and his son Liu Zhenwei is insufficient. ”

Ah Niu nodded, he also noticed Liu Zhen.

Liu Bei suddenly had an extra player next to him, which didn't attract too much attention.

But with Liu Bei falling ill, Liu Zhen was actually in charge of Qingzhou. Its identity can no longer be hidden, and now few players don't know that Liu Zhen is a lucky person who was reincarnated as Liu Bei's son, but almost no one knows how many times Liu Zhen committed suicide for the reincarnation of the princes' family, and no one knows that Liu Zhen's previous life was a powerful vacuum cleaner that was famous in the past. The news that someone was reincarnated as the son of a prince caused an uproar in the player world, and no one expected it. The legendary path of the third princes actually exists, and there are already players who have succeeded, and countless players hate that they did not commit suicide bravely.

There are indications. After Liu Zhen stepped into the forefront, the suicide rate of risk-taking players rose sharply, and some players felt that they didn't mix well or thought that they had the potential to win the jackpot. have embarked on the road of suicide......

Lu Zhi's implication is obviously that he thinks that Qingzhou Mansion is unsustainable. Tend to Feng Xiang to send troops.

Ah Niu turned to Chen Gong and asked, "What does Gongtai think?" ”

"If no outside force intervenes. Jinan can hold out for at least half a month, but if our army does not send troops until then, the Qingzhou Mansion will be too weak, so that our army will be under too much pressure. In addition, the Qingzhou government has agreed to our request and handed over 20,000 state government troops to our army for deployment. Third, after the end of the rebellion of the hundred tribes, I Fengxiang was able to calmly dispatch troops, and now all kinds of arrangements have been completed. The subordinates thought that the time had come. ”

Qingzhou Mansion has a limited mobile force, and it is only 60,000 at the best time, and after distributing 20,000 to Fengxiang, the Qingzhou Mansion is extremely nervous. But Ah Niu doesn't care about these, at this stage of the war is to help Qingzhou Mansion resist the enemy, there is no reason to let Feng Xiang Erlang rush to the front line desperately, for this, a certain city lord is quite insistent, Qingzhou Mansion finally had to reluctantly accept, the result is that Zhang Fei became the commander of the light pole, fortunately, Yuan Tan, who attacked Le Anguo, did not have many troops, Zhang Fei commanded the garrison of the famous city, and he could also hold the city, but he was no longer able to attack.

Zhang Fei and Jian Yong are more understanding of a certain city lord's approach, although Qiang is unwilling, but only by inducing Fengxiang City to participate in the war as soon as possible can Yuan Shao feel that it is more difficult to take Qingzhou Mansion, thereby increasing the possibility of him making peace with Yuan Shao secretly, and he can only pinch his nose and admit it.

Lu Zhi and Chen Gong agreed on the same opinion, and Ah Niu did not hesitate anymore.

A month after Yuan Shaojun fought with Qingzhou Mansion, Zheng Aniu, the prime minister of Qi, finally stopped being silent and sent troops to resist Yuan.

The first to discover that the Qi State had sent troops was Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang bypassed Dongpingling, the administrative office of Jinan, and planned to attack Tugu County, but he met a Qingzhou army outside Tugu City, numbering about 23,000 people, which was half less than half of Yuan Shang's right army with more than 45,000 troops, but Yuan Shangleng did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

The banner of that army is the Phoenix Banner!

It's not that Yuan Shang is timid, but because Yuan Shao has repeatedly explained that it is not appropriate to take the initiative to fight against the Fengxiang army at this stage. The appearance of the Fengxiang army in Jinan County means that the Yuan family's expedition to Qingzhou this time finally appeared the most undesirable situation, that is, the Qi State and the Qingzhou Mansion joined forces.

Even if Yuan Shang wants to strike first, he has to worry about his hardness.

Fengxiang's army includes 3,000 crossbowmen!

Fengxiang crossbow soldiers, notorious, Yuan Jun has suffered a lot before, and there is still a shadow in the army.

In fact, of the 23,000 troops, only the 3,000 Xiandeng dead soldiers were Fengxiang's descendants, and the other 20,000 were all from Qingzhou Mansion. However, with 20,000 Qingzhou heavy infantry coordinated protection, the first dead soldiers could unscrupulously exert their long-range power, and if they really fought, Yuan would not be able to take advantage of it.

Yuan Shang also understands this.

Now that the situation is unclear, Yuan Shang still has a lot of concerns: Feng Xiang's army appeared outside Tugu City, which is not enough to prove that Feng Xiang has officially been involved in the war, what if others just have something to pass by? Will a direct start of war fall under the pretext of "taking the initiative to provoke a war"? What's more, even if Feng Xiang asked Qingzhou Mansion to send troops to intervene, Feng Xiang's investment in this war has yet to be ascertained, and passive defense and active attack will directly affect the way Yuan Jun responds.

So Yuan Shang chose restraint and ordered the troops to make a detour and make a gesture to the new target.

Yuan Shang wanted to see how Feng Xiangjun would respond.

If Feng Xiang's army stood still or retreated into the city, Yuan Jun would need to further understand Feng Xiang's attitude. If Feng Xiangjun takes the initiative to pounce. Yuan Shang could immediately tell that Feng Xiang's will to fight was very strong. Yuan Jun no longer had to waste energy to figure out and probe, and there was no negotiation of an all-out war.

Feng Xiangjun's next move. Yuan Shang was stunned.

They neither attacked Yuan Shang nor retreated into the city, but marched westward at high speed with their whole army!

Yuan Shang had difficulty judging Feng Xiangjun's true intentions for a while, and he was not even sure whether Feng Xiangjun's appearance here was hostile to Yuan Jun, after all, they didn't do anything at all. After thinking about it, Yuan Shang simply sent people to the plain to report the situation encountered by the Right Route Army outside Tugu City, and continued to lead his troops north. Attack another county seat.

In any case, now that the Qingzhou government is unable to take care of Jinan County, it is always good to lay more ground.

After the Middle Route Army outside Pingyuan City got the news, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi were shocked.

Ah Niu knew that Yuan's army was attacking Qingzhou Mansion, but still sent a large number of Fengxiang troops into the war zone, and did not send anyone to explain to Yuan's army in advance, how could he have good intentions? Besides, Tian Feng had just made a trip to Fengxiang City, and Ah Niu didn't reveal the slightest hint. also used Yuan Shao's "unreasonable request" that it was completely impossible to agree to, and tested Yuan Shao's uneasy and good intentions towards Qi Guo, and then Feng Xiang's army appeared in Jinan County, in addition to taking the initiative to participate in the war. There really is no better explanation.

As for why they avoided the battle and headed west, Feng Xiangjun was afraid that he planned to copy the rear road of the right army......

Yuan Shao was furious and scolded a certain city lord for "not knowing how to lift". At the same time, he was also worried that Yuan Shang would be cut off from the back road and fall into danger. Hurriedly sent someone to ask Yuan Shang to suspend the attack. In order to avoid the worst-case scenario, Yuan Shao adopted the frustration of the construction of yì. Let the general Wen Chou lead 30,000 troops and quickly move south to deal with the right army, so as not to lose Yuan Shang.

Before Wen Chou entered the territory of Jinan, he received bad news and the city fell.

Licheng is the first city captured by Yuan Shang in Jinan County, Licheng was captured, and the rear road of the right army was intercepted!

Yuan Shang also received the news, he couldn't believe this fact, he parted ways with Feng Xiangjun in less than a day, and it took half a day to get from Tugu to Licheng, how could he get a county seat so quickly?

Cain's left hand looked ugly, and he said to Qiang: "Zheng Aniu asked the lord of the famous city to fake the fight, after all, the princes' army to fight the famous city does not affect the player's occupation of the famous city, and it can also reduce the losses of both sides." And he also threatened to retaliate against the territory of those who did not cooperate, and this was the case in Licheng, as soon as the cavalry of Fengxiang City arrived, the lord transferred his troops away from the city walls and key roads, and the flying wing battalion easily captured the city lord's mansion. ”

Gritted his teeth strongly: "Shameless! Isn't that county also dangerous? ”

Cain: "No, the lord who now occupies Taixian County is a person from my fourth department, and I asked him to refuse Zheng Aniu's proposal." If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know what to do ......."

The back road was cut off, Yuan Shang decisively gave up the offensive and retreated in the direction of Taixian, but was ambushed by Fengxiang's army on the way. Yuan Shang witnessed the terrible Fengxiang crossbow army, three thousand soldiers who died first, became the nightmare of the Yuan army's soldiers, their crazy and efficient killing, greatly shook Yuan Shang's determination to win the right army, and the appearance of five thousand Wuhuan cavalry on the battlefield made the right army even worse.

After a fierce battle for half a day, Yuan Shang suffered heavy casualties and had to break through the siege with all his strength and send rangers to the rear for help.

The ranger encountered Wen Chou, who was shocked and urged the troops to bypass Licheng and gallop at full speed to help Yuan Shang.

However, the two thousand winged cavalry, making full use of the advantages of speed and range, continued to harass along the way, so that the speed of the Wenchou division could not be fast, and after dark, the winged battalion Shi Shiran left. Wen Chou was afraid that Yuan Shang would lose, so he led his troops to march overnight, but what he didn't know was that an hour ago, Fengxiang's infantry had ended their attack on Yuan Shang's troops, leaving only the Wuheng cavalry to patrol around Yuan Shang.

Feng Xiang's foot soldiers didn't run far.

They dug some pits, cut down some trees, blocked some roads, and buried some fire-starting objects on the road that Wenchou had to pass. When Wen Chou led his troops to arrive, he was greeted by Feng Xiang's foot soldiers, and in the brilliant firelight, arrows were like flying locusts.

Wen Chou rushed left and right, trying his best to break out of the ambush circle, and the 30,000 troops had lost 10,000.

Early the next morning, Wen Chou finally met with Yuan Shang in Tai County. Before the two had time to have breakfast, the wildfire man from Taixian County approached them and brought good news and bad news.

The good news is that the Fengxiang army did not come to Datai County, and the two generals do not have to worry about security issues for the time being.

The bad news is that the Fengxiang army continues to move westward, killing the southern part of the plains!

Feng Xiang does not move, and as soon as he moves, the momentum is like thunder.
