Chapter 1442 : Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty-Four
"Half a month is too fast. I'm afraid Yuan Shao doesn't even have a chance to react. He is really bullying. www
"Ha ha ha ha."
The generals all laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
"Okay, this time we will leave 20,000 cavalry, including tiger and leopard cavalry, and 30,000 infantry in Yanzhou. I will personally lead an infantry of 150,000 horses to attack Qingzhou and destroy Yuan Tan."
Seeing this, Cao Cao showed a slight smile on his face, nodded and said.[
"promise."
Many generals agreed in unison.
Immediately, the generals all retreated. Whether it was guarding the rear or following Cao Cao, it was not an easy task and required some preparation.
Soon, only four people, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Chen Qun and Cheng Yu, were left in the hall.
"This time leading troops to attack Qingzhou is actually a small matter. Preventing Liu Feng is the big deal. Fengxiao and Zhongde stayed behind, and Changwen followed Gu to attack Qingzhou."
Cao Cao glanced at the three of them and said.
"promise."
The three of them agreed in unison.
In this way, Cao Cao's army's mission for this campaign was fully assigned. Three days later, Cao Cao left Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and other civil and military forces behind, gathered countless famous generals, and personally led an infantry of 150,000 horses to attack Qingzhou.
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.
Although everyone in the world knows that among the three princes in the north, Cao Cao is the strongest. In order to unite the north, there will be a battle sooner or later. They also know that Cao Cao's strength is rapidly recovering.
But when this war broke out, people couldn't help but be shocked.
Will Cao Cao really be able to unify the north with his powerful campaign this time? Not only will he regain the fruits of victory in the Battle of Guandu, but he will also seek revenge on the Han Dynasty who stabbed Cao Cao in the back?
Everyone in the world feels that this battle may be very, very important.
As for who wins and who loses, it is difficult for people in the world to make a conclusion. However, people in the world also have a certain guess, that is, Cao Cao is the strongest, and if it is Yuan Shao, the Han Dynasty wants to save his own life.
They must unite with each other and attack Cao Cao, so as to balance the power of both sides.
People in the world can have time to think, but for Yuan Tan who is guarding Qingzhou, there is no time.
Qingzhou was the territory of Qi State during the Warring States Period, and the capital of Qi State has always been Linzi. Now Qi State has been renamed Qingzhou, and its administrative seat is still in Linzi.
At the same time, this is where Yuan Tan's troops are stationed.[
Qingzhou also went through the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was in a very dilapidated state. Especially Yuan Tan did not have much ability to develop. At this moment, Qingzhou only has about 600,000 people.
Too few.
Yuan Tan's soldiers were not many, only about 50,000, and most of them were infantry.
Qingzhou borders Yanzhou, and it was impossible for Cao Cao to conceal his cavalry training in Yanzhou from Yuan Tan. However, when Cao Cao led a 150,000-horse infantry to attack Qingzhou, Yuan Tan still felt panic.
In Linzi City, in the hall of the Governor's Mansion.
Yuan Tan summoned all the civil servants and generals in his tent to discuss important matters.
"Everyone, Cao Cao's 150,000 horse and infantry troops are coming fiercely. How to resist them?" Yuan Tan looked around at the civil and military personnel and asked.
But even the civil servants and generals under Yuan Shao's account have been reduced to second-rate status. Not to mention Yuan Tan, the civil and military officials present have no strategy at all to stop Cao Cao and protect Qingzhou.
"Send someone to ask father for help." Seeing this, Yuan Tan couldn't help but stamp his feet secretly, as if he was really a bunch of drunkards. At the same time, he also issued the only contingency strategy he could think of, asking Yuan Shao for help.
