Chapter 1023: The Great War Ends

Liu Bei made a comeback, sat in Beihai to transfer resources, guaranteed strong support to the front line, and strongly deposited 20 million gold into the Qingzhou Mansion before leaving, which was originally intended to be used to attack Fengxiang City, but the result made the Qingzhou Mansion, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly become rich. The Qingzhou Mansion war plane was in full swing, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't have to worry about their backs, they just had to focus on the war.

Le Anguo, due to the failure of the powerful vacuum cleaner plan, the troops of Qingzhou Mansion did not defect, and Yuan Tan naturally could not enter Donglai County, and Yuan's left army formed a confrontation with Guan Yu.

Zhang Fei rushed to Dongpingling and joined the Cao Zheng coalition army, and the strength of the coalition army in Jinan County increased greatly.

Tao Qian of Xuzhou, after learning that Cao Cao had entered Qingzhou to fight, raised troops to the border of Yanzhou as promised and threatened Taishan County. Through the guΓ² player communication, Cao Cao learned of the Xuzhou army's abnormal movements for the first time, and a certain city lord also reminded him to ask Cao Cao if he wanted to return to the division first to solve the danger in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao sneered, "It's okay. Tao Qian, the ears of the rats, has a son of filial piety, and he can't set off the wind and waves. ”

Guarding Taishan County is Cao Cao's younger brother, Cao Ren, the general of both wisdom and bravery.

The two armies fought for the first time, and Cao Ren won the battle generals, beheaded Tao Qian and two generals in succession, and then returned to the city to keep his limited strength behind. The Xuzhou army entered Yanzhou for thirty miles, trying to lure Cao Ren into battle, but Cao Ren was still unmoved, so the Xuzhou army did not dare to advance. At this time, Tao Qian also learned that the Qingzhou Mansion did not join forces with Yuan Shao, and the situation of the Xuzhou army suddenly became extremely embarrassing, and it was in a dilemma.

As for Liu Biao of Jingzhou, who had high hopes for the wildfire, he did not move at all.

Liu Biao has always been known as the "dog of success", and his enterprising spirit is insufficient, even if he makes a move, he must be after watching clearly. If the situation develops as planned, Liu Biao may still pretend to send troops to threaten Cao Cao's rear. But the plan has changed dramatically, and it is quite difficult for Liu Biao to make up his mind. Liu Biao also had a good excuse: if the Jingzhou government wanted to threaten Cao Cao's rear, it also needed to use Yuzhou, and if the Yuzhou government did not agree to use the road, Liu Biao could refuse to send troops on the grounds of "good-neighborliness and friendship." to avoid provoking "interstate contradictions".

Liu Biao became a turtle with a shrunken head, Tao Qian was even more lonely, and after thinking about it all night, Tao Qian felt that his attack was too hasty this time, so it was better to go home and reunite with his wife and concubine, so the Xuzhou army began to retreat. Cao Ren was worried that this was a trick by the Xuzhou army to lure the enemy, so he did not send troops to pursue him, and let Tao Qian retreat.

The wildfires were used to contain Cao Cao's two princes, and they hardly caused Cao Cao any trouble.

Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Ah Niu. have all relieved their worries, and they can fight with Yuan Shao with all their might.

The decisive battlefield is Jinan County.

Yuan Jun vs coalition forces, objectively speaking, Yuan Shao's strength still has an advantage. Moreover, although the Wildfire Legion failed to attack Fengxiang, they also have strong forces, and they can not only provide communication support. It also controls a number of famous cities and can provide support to Yuan's army.

Yuan Shao is playing away. Coupled with the unexpected outbreak of this war, his confidence in fighting a war of attrition with the coalition forces has greatly diminished. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Yuan Jun began to take the initiative to attack, trying to take advantage of the favorable opportunity that still had the advantage to consume the strength of the coalition army as much as possible.

The coalition forces are now strong and do not show weakness. Face the enemy head-on.

The two armies faced each other, and Yuan Shao took the initiative to ask for fighting generals with fierce generals such as Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Han Meng under his tent.

As a result, Yuan Shao was saddened, if he was given a chance to do it again, he would not fight if he died.

Qingzhou Mansion Guan Erye did not come. and Zhang Fei, who bravely won the three armies; Although Yanzhou Cao Cao had not received Dian Wei and Xu Chu at this time, he also had Xiahou brothers, all of whom were warriors; As for Fengxiang City, there are not too many cattle people...... The fight will end in the complete defeat of the Yuan family, and Yan Liang, who had just recovered from his injuries, was injured by Xiahoudun, and in addition to grief, he firmly believed that "Qingzhou is not a good land".

Winning the heads-up, the morale of the coalition army soared, and they had a slight upper hand in the ensuing group fight.

Yuan Shao sent all the cavalry, hoping that the elite Youhe cavalry would turn the tide of the battle.

The Fengxiang cavalry immediately responded to the battle.

The Flying Wing Battalion and the Thunder Cavalry, two cavalry units with their own characteristics, are already amazingly powerful, and once the joint operation mode is turned on, a chemical reaction occurs. Both cavalry have powerful and efficient long-range attacks, and the covering attack of Hercules arrows complements the frontal attack of the Great Yellow Crossbow! In terms of melee combat, the lightness and elegance of the flying wings are perfectly combined with the invincibility of the thunder, and the combat power is not as simple as 1+1 equals 2, but a geometric increase!

The two special cavalry beat Yuan Shao's Youhe cavalry to a wolf's howl, making everyone marvel at the strength of the Fengxiang Army again. The Wuheng cavalry generally believed that it was a very happy thing to have friendly troops like Flying Wing and Thunder, for example, now, in such a large-scale battle scene, they almost didn't have to fight tough battles, they only needed to be a little careful when beating the water dogs, and they could reap a lot of results, and their own casualties were very low.

At dusk, the two armies collected their own troops.

In this battle, the losses of Yuan's infantry were not too large, but the few cavalry that were left suffered a devastating blow, and the remaining remnants of the army were defeated, and they hardly had much combat effectiveness.

The coalition forces won the cavalry duel and further occupied the initiative on the battlefield.

Cao Cao was a man who knew the army and one of the famous military strategists of the Three Kingdoms, who knew how to use his strengths. The day after the battle, the Flying Wing Battalion and the Wuheng Cavalry broke away from the main battlefield and entered the plains, and their combat goal was very simple: to intercept Yuan's backup, so that Yuan Shao could not be effectively replenished!

This trick seems ordinary, but it is actually very fierce, which makes Yuan Shao very uncomfortable.

There are still many resourceful people under Yuan Shao's account.

Tian Feng believes that a large number of coalition troops are gathered around, and the coalition cavalry is very strong, even if the Yuan army wants to retreat, it will pay a heavy price, but the overall strength of the Yuan army is still slightly stronger than the coalition army, and there are three states as the backing, the war potential is huge, and now only by breaking the cauldron and fighting with the coalition army can there be a chance to turn defeat into victory!

"The coalition forces come from three forces, and they may not be in harmony with each other, so we can take advantage of this. Don't look at the fact that they are now unanimously against us, but if we fight hard enough, their losses are too great, and naturally some people will want to preserve their strength! Even if they don't have a plan, the strength of the three coalition forces is uneven, and the level of trust in each other is not the same...... Liu Bei is the weakest, and his relationship with Cao Cao and Zheng Aniu is not strong enough, as long as there is an opportunity. We should seize the onslaught of the Qingzhou army and continue to consume Liu Bei's strength, and when he is unable to continue, and the Qingzhou Mansion is unable to fight again, we will send rumors that Liu Bei wants to preserve his strength, and the coalition army will definitely fight among themselves! ”

Yuan thought so. Grit your teeth and continue to fight with the coalition forces.

For five consecutive days, every day from morning to night, both armies suffered heavy losses.

To the surprise of the Yuan army, the coalition army showed no signs of losing its strength, except for the relative weakness of the Yanzhou army, the Fengxiang army and the Qingzhou Mansion were as if they had fought a chicken, and they were not afraid of a tough battle.

- Liu Bei is a thorn in Qingzhou, and he has a strong sponsorship of 20 million, of course, he is not afraid of a tough battle.

β€”β€”Feng Xiangjun took the initiative to seek battle. It was because of the persecution of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zong Wuyan: "Send our famous city troops to death, don't be polite, you can't afford to raise so many troops!" ”

Yuan Shao didn't know the reason, and he didn't know who to ask for an answer in his heart.

When the war came to this point, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere. The only consolation is that the wildfires are still alive and well, and they have shown their determination to break the boat. Realizing that it was difficult to pose a direct threat, the wildfire began to change the concentration point to Jinan. Assist Yuan Shaojun in the battle.

On the seventh day, Yuan Shao heard bad news again.

The Canglan Naval Division made a detour of thousands of miles, went upriver along the mouth of the Yellow River, and threw 10,000 Fengxiang troops into the rear of Yuan Shaojun, in the north of Pingyuan County. Originally, the threat of 10,000 Fengxiang troops taking the back road was not great. Instead, it may be eaten by Yuan's army, but Yuan Shao didn't expect that the Fengxiang army captured Ande County, and with a county town as a stronghold, Fengxiang "airdropped" 10,000 foot soldiers. Survivability and destructive power immediately increased dramatically.

Fengxiang's two cavalry were in Jinan County, destroying the southern supply line of the Yuan army, which had made Yuan Shao's head as big as a fight, and the Yuan army had to rely more on the supply of the northern line.

At this time, the coalition forces sent envoys to Yuan Shao's camp and asked Yuan Shao to withdraw from Qingzhou and shake hands and make peace.

At a huge cost, having already occupied most of the three counties of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao obviously could not accept the proposal of the coalition army. The strategists also believed that the coalition forces took the initiative to sue for peace, which showed that the coalition forces were also somewhat unsustainable, and in any case, it was impossible for the Yuan army to give up all the territory occupied in Qingzhou.

The negotiations failed, and the two armies continued the war.

On the 10th, an army of 20,000 men landed in Bohai and wreaked havoc on the strongholds of the towns and villages of Bohai County.

This time it was the Liaodong Army that shot, the fat dragon baby already had a grudge with Yuan Shao, and had the opportunity to stab Yuan Shao's chrysanthemum, and the baby naturally didn't want to miss it, after all, the stronger Yuan Shao, the more dangerous Liaodong became. The Liaodong Yellow Turban used the waterway to bypass Yuan Xi's defense line and directly wreaked havoc on Yuan Shao's lair.

Yuan Shao was furious and fainted on the spot.

After Yuan Xi heard the news, he led his troops to launch a tentative attack on Liaodong, but although the Liaodong Army drew 20,000 men to attack Jizhou, the old nest was still well guarded, and Yuan Xi returned in vain.

Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Ah Niu and Baobao, the four princes went into battle together, no matter how strong Yuan Shao's capital was, he didn't dare to say that he had a higher chance of winning.

It was also difficult for the coalition forces to defeat Yuan Shao, and if it continued to be consumed for a long time, it would only increase everyone's losses, and, as Fu Zhi expected, there were also disagreements within the coalition forces at this time. Liu Bei is the assassin of Qingzhou and hopes to recover the entire Qingzhou; Ah Niu was determined to fight abroad, and had no pursuit of Qingzhou's territory, and participated in the war entirely because Yuan Shao threatened Fengxiang; Cao Cao participated in the war, in addition to helping Ah Niu, he also hoped to get some benefits, and this was bound to be opposed to Liu Bei; The baby is relatively simple, and he knows that he can't occupy the territory, so he just wants to take the opportunity to weaken Yuan Shao.

With the disagreements, the coalition forces are no longer as strong as they once were.

Negotiation has become the first choice of both sides.

After repeated consultations, the negotiations reached a final conclusion; Yuan Shao withdrew from Jinan and Le'an, retaining Pingyuan County; Cao Cao controlled Jinan; Le'an still belongs to Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao was not very satisfied, and Fei Lao Dajin only got a plain county, but he finally got something; Liu Bei was not very satisfied, he lost two counties, but he kept the position of Qingzhou Assassin, and there were two counties; The most satisfied is Cao Cao, the harvest is comparable to Yuan Shao, and the payment is far less than Yuan Shao.

The Battle of Qingzhou came to an end. (To be continued, the novel is better and faster!)
