Chapter 784: Confusing
Zhang Fan captured dozens of villages in half a day, quickly organized the people among them to go to Jizhou, and then gathered a large army and prepared to attack the city!
The six counties of Qingzhou, Jibei County, Rencheng County and Boyang County are firmly in the hands of Zhang Fan, and Yuan Shao's Beihai County, Langxi County and Penglai County are already full of holes, and they only need to fight hard to expel Yuan Shao from Qingzhou!
Zhang Fan's army of 300,000 people, even the city of Keli and Dong'anyang, the sea side in their own hands, the siege battle is very smooth, because Yuan Shao is divided into troops to defend, there are not many defenders in the city, about 350,000 people, naturally not the opponent of Zhang Fan's elite division, one drum.
In this regard, Yuan Shao's army lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, 600,000 soldiers and horses only left more than 400,000, and lost so many soldiers and horses before the real war, in the final analysis, Yuan Shao's strategic decision-making mistakes can only be blamed, he is not only ready for a decisive battle with Zhang Fan, but also wants to save the people under his rule, plus he thinks that Zhang Fan is hindered by the threat of the contract and Cao Cao, he does not dare to start a war, and he is negligent in his defense, which leads to this defeat!
The defeat this time was not Yuan Shao's lack of strength, but a mistake at the strategic level, after all, no one expected Zhang Fan to be so decisive, and he couldn't prevent it at all.
Attacking three cities in a row, Zhang Fanjun's casualties were only a little over 10,000, which was completely within a bearable range, Yuan Shao's sphere of influence was further reduced, and the situation he had to face was very dangerous!
"The chaotic offensive position is really vicious, he completely blocked our road to Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and now we have our backs to the sea, there is no way to retreat, it seems that he doesn't want to defeat us, but wants to kill us all!" Yang Xiu sighed.
Yuan Shao's face was pale, it was impossible for anyone to be indifferent to such a big loss, he shouted: "Pass my order, the army will gather in Beihai City to resist the next offensive of Fengyun Chaos!" ā
As a result, the soldiers and horses of the main station of Qingzhou were immediately assembled, and more than 300,000 people and nearly 400,000 people gathered in Beihai City to fight an offensive and defensive battle with Zhang Fanjun!
The next day, Zhang Fan led the men and horses to Beihai City, Yuan Shao had been waiting for a long time, he was strong and clear, relying on the advantages of the city wall to defend it.
Seeing Zhang Fan's arrival, Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said: "The storm is chaotic, you are treacherous, you tear up the armistice treaty without authorization, and you should be spurned by the people of the world!" ā
Zhang Fan's face was slightly cold when he heard this: "I tore up the treaty? Yuan Benchu, you will sue the wicked first! Obviously, you sent someone to attack me first, but I just took advantage of the situation to fight back, where did I say that I would tear up the treaty? You don't want to spew blood! ā
Yuan Shao was immediately furious: "There is a public opinion on the merits, I, Yuan Shaoke, swear to the sky, I will never send someone to attack your army, otherwise the sky will thunder!" ā
Zhang Fan looked at him, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, this person is still struggling with this topic, does it make sense? Now that things have come to this point, is there room for manoeuvre?
I think so in my heart, but Zhang Fan will never show it, the ancient expedition is the most righteous, and the people who occupy the righteousness are gathered, and the morale of his subordinates is high, and the treacherous ones will be criticized by the world, and their prestige will be greatly reduced, Zhang Fan will never admit his small means, and immediately said: "Full of nonsense!" The **** scout was patrolling outside, but was suddenly killed by your soldiers and horses, hundreds of soldiers died because of this, and there was a lot of blood debt, do you want to get rid of it all now? ā
Although Zhang Fan played some tricks, he only said it to a few henchmen, and he also concealed it from the army under his command. Blood debt and blood repayment! ā
Nearly 300,000 people roared together, and the waves of air went straight up to the sky, as if the sky was shattered, Yuan Shao was shocked when he saw this, his head was a little confused, and he muttered: "Could it be that the wind and clouds are really chaotic, is it really something?" But I didn't order the army to attack, could it be that the guards in some places did not abide by the military rules and attacked rashly? ā
"Impossible!" Yuan Shao immediately denied his idea, he was still very confident in his reputation in the army, and he said softly after being puzzled: "Could it be that other princes want me to start a war with Fengyun Chao, send troops to pretend to be our army, and want to ignite the flames of war?" ā
Yuan Shao was a person who was scheming and decisive, and the thoughts in his mind were one after another, he just wanted to clarify, but was stopped by Yang Xiu, who shook his head at him: "The chaos is just quibbling, and it is in vain to talk to him, if you want to fight, you will fight!" ā
Yuan Shao suddenly realized that this qiÄ was just an excuse for Zhang Fan to cover up, but it was impossible to admit it when he looked like that, and he didn't have any substantial evidence, so he could only swallow the bitterness in his stomach, and immediately ordered the whole army to stick to the city to resist the Jizhou army!
Beihai City is the capital of a county, the city is high and thick, and there is a large army to defend it, it is difficult to break through the light yƬ, Zhang Fan looked around, and did not rush to attack the city, so he retreated ten miles to the village first, and discussed the siege with everyone.
Tian Feng said: "Cao Cao is eyeing the side, I believe he will receive the news soon, although there is a Tiebi general to guard Rencheng County, but its troops are insufficient, I am afraid that it will not be able to support for too long in front of Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army, so our army must fight quickly!" ā
Xu Shu nodded and continued: "We must do our best to capture the city, but we can't blindly attack when we go to the army, we should use wisdom to win!" ā
He just proposed a direction, and the specific plan couldn't be taken out for a while, after all, now Yuan Shao is all soldiers, and he will definitely not go out of the city lightly, and he also has Cao Cao as an ally, he should choose to stick to the city and wait for Cao Cao to come to reinforcements, in this case, it is really difficult to use a plan, and you need to think carefully.
Just when the two military advisors were at a loss, Aoshuang Douxue suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "Attacking the city must be attacked, but it doesn't necessarily have to be attacked Beihai City!" ā
"Huh?"
This is a new way of thinking, Xu Shu Tianfeng is a wise man, hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned many thoughts, at this time, he only heard Aoshuang Douxue and said: "Yuan Shao in order to prevent our army from attacking, gather a large army in Beihai City, then the rest of the cities in Qingzhou must be empty, we can give up this city and attack other cities!" ā
After a pause, he continued: "If the surrounding cities can be captured, then Beihai will become a lonely city, the so-called lonely city is difficult to defend, I am afraid that there is no need for our army to attack at that time, as long as the grain and grass in Beihai City are exhausted, Yuan Shao will be defeated without a fight!" ā
"Brilliant plan!" Tian Feng and Xu Shu praised again and again: "The strategy of fighting snow is really like the frozen blood, which makes the enemy feel cold!" ā
Aoshuang Douxue smiled humbly: "The two military advisors praised it falsely, this is just a strategic phalanx set by the marshal!" ā
He was not wrong, Zhang Fan had talked to everyone at the beginning to learn the strategy and tactics of the great man and surround the city with the countryside, and now most of the villages in Qingzhou have fallen into the hands of Zhang Fan, and Aoshuang Douxue has gone one step further at this strategic level, surround the big city with a small city, which is also the same thing!
Zhang Fan was quite pleased with this, he knew that this meant that these top players had risen to a certain height, and they could already approach or even surpass some powerful historical celebrities in terms of thinking, and be on an equal footing with them.
Aoshuang Douxue proposed a plan, which was adopted by Zhang Fan, Tian Feng and Xu Shu discussed it for a while, and said: "This plan is very wonderful, but there can be some changes!" ā
"Two military advisors, hurry up!" Zhang Fan asked anxiously.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and said: "We must always pay attention when attacking other cities, in case Yuan Shao leads the army out of the city to attack our army's belly, and even in some cases, we can deliberately make a difficult situation to attack the city, inducing Yuan Shao to go out of the city to attack, and we set up an ambush halfway to stop the enemy army!" ā
Zhang Fan was stunned when he heard this: "How similar is this to the Battle of Linzong, can Yuan Shao still suffer such a loss?" He's going to be prepared! ā
The smiles on the faces of Xu Shu and Tianfeng were so confident, and they said, "What you want is that he is prepared!" In order to prevent an ambush by our army, Yuan Shao will definitely advance carefully, and even lay out a counter-ambush strategy, but in this way, more soldiers and horses will be needed, and the Beihai guard must be weak, so we can leave a military horse to hide near the Beihai Sea all the time, just wait for Yuan Shao to lead the army out, and then take the opportunity to attack it, then Beihai can go down, and a county can be obtained! ā
"This, this, this!" Zhang Fan was completely dumbfounded, he led the army to fight very well, he can be said to be a genius commander, but there is obviously a certain gap from the top strategists in terms of strategy, Xu Shu Tianfeng and the people united, and the plan he came up with can be described as earth-shattering, if Zhang Fan is Yuan Shao, I am afraid that Beihai City will also change hands!
"In this way, attacking other cities is also tantamount to a false shot?" Meng Qing was stunned.
Zhang Fan had already figured it out, and suddenly smiled: "Definitely!" If Yuan Shao can't bear it, we will quickly capture the rest of the cities, if Yuan Shao comes out, we can see the opportunity to move, or fight or avoid, anyway, Beihai City is secure! This is the strategy of the false and the real, but the serial scheme! ā
Marching and fighting, there should be real in the virtual, and there is fiction in the real, this is the perfect strategy, which can ensure that the conquest is safe!
In this regard, the poisonous plan against Yuan Shao came to light under the brainstorming of Zhang Fanjun and others, such a strategy is interlocking, making people unable to prevent it, and they are not afraid that Yuan Shao will not be hit!
So, Zhang Fan left an army of 50,000 to lurk next to Beihai City, commanded by Meng Qing and Wen Chou, and personally raised an army of more than 200,000 to bypass Beihai City, and went straight to Yuan Shao's hinterland, cutting off his back road!
Avoid the real and draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle!
Zhang Fan had a smile on his face, Yuan Shao also had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Li Dao Guo Yan, who had rushed from Chang'an to the direction of Jizhou, had a residual glimmer of hope, and Cao Cao of Yanzhou was also in action, but he encountered a stubborn sniper attack from an iron wall, and was blocked in the other dark side of the water, looking at each other with cold eyes.
Things are developing towards a situation that no one expected, Zhang Fan and Yuan Shao both think that their plans are foolproof, so who can have the last laugh?
