"Attack an unprepared enemy and take him by surprise. The victory of this military strategist cannot be passed down first."
Soon after General Anhan and Beihai Prime Minister Lu Bu entered Beihai with 5,000 troops, he frequently sent out signals of goodwill to the powerful powerful people in various counties in Beihai. He recruited a large number of outstanding scholars from the local powerful Teng family, Wang family, Zhou family, etc. as officials.
Dong Zhao, the chief registrar, managed the civil affairs of Beihai together.
After sending away the former Beihai Prime Minister Kong Rong, Lu Bu formally recruited his troops. Counting the more than 5,000 people he brought from Hebei, the total number was 10,000. With Wei Xu, Hao Meng and others as generals, he divided his forces to attack the Yellow Turban Bandits.
Hai. Lü Bu led his troops and was good at trapping his cavalry in a sudden formation. He had some cavalry generals such as Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, and was assisted by the outstanding counselor Dong Zhao. It didn't take long to defeat Guan Hai and regain the kingdom of Beihai.
Mi, Chunyu, Zhuangwu and other counties achieved what Kong Rong failed to achieve.
In ten months, Lu Buwei became famous in Qingzhou. Not long after he stabilized Beihai, he pursued the victory and followed Guan Hai into Donglai. He killed the Yingzhou governor and other officials secretly set up by Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, and killed Guan Hai on the seashore.
Lu Bu then asked Dong Zhao to come forward and appease the pirate Guan Cheng and others one by one, recruit the rebels to surrender, and promised them the positions of captain, captain, etc.
Having solved his worries, Lu Bu immediately reported to the court, stating that Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, had invaded other counties without authorization and set up officials privately, as well as the justice of his cross-border attack. By the way, he boasted about his martial arts and asked his subordinates to do so.
Wei Xudai became the governor of Donglai.
It was already late June or early July. When Lu Bu was sweeping Beihai and Donglai with his extraordinary force and courage, Yuan Shao suddenly led his troops north to Changshan to attack the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan.
The main force of Jizhou moved northward, causing the eastern defense to be weak. It also provided opportunities for Youzhou Mu and Zhenbei General Gongsun Zan to find a fighting opportunity. While Yuan Shao was fighting with the Black Mountain Army and could not escape, he immediately took these days to consolidate and eliminate the 30,000 steps.
Ride south to the Bohai Sea.
The third day of July in the fourth year of Chuping.
Qingzhou, Plain Country.
Gongsun Zan originally thought that he would be able to defeat Zang Hong in a single battle due to his overwhelming momentum this time, but he did not expect how difficult his opponent Zang Hong would be this time.
Zang Hong, the governor of Qingzhou, was a wise man. In the short period of time he took office, he drove away the bandits who were governing the plains, and the people were happy. Therefore, when Gongsun Zan's army came to the city, all the officers, soldiers, and people in the city did their best to help, and they blocked Gongsun Zan's army at the city.
.
"What kind of war is this going on now!" Gongsun Zan angrily opened the tent door, clasped a bag on his waist with his right hand, and strode in: "Zang Ziyuan is huddled in the city like a turtle, it's really hard for people to say anything.
.”
Guan Jing, the chief historian, advised from the side: "Don't be anxious, sir! Now Tian Kai and Liu Bei are leading troops to attack Jinan. Wait for Jinan and we will join forces and we will be able to break through the plains."
Although Gongsun Zan's sworn brother Liu Weitai made arrogant remarks in the last military meeting, he was scolded by Gongsun Zan and ordered not to enter the tent to discuss matters again. However, Gongsun Zan was a rough and free man and showed great tolerance to old friends like Liu Weitai. This time
Liu Weitai discussed matters in the account in a grand manner, but Gongsun Zan didn't say anything and Quan acquiesced.
At this time, Liu Weitai said: "Now that Yuan Shao is attacking Heishan in the west, Jizhou is empty. It can be said that it is a real thing. It can be seen that there is no ambush in Yecheng. Since the plain is difficult to attack for a while, why doesn't Bogui send troops to Jizhou to attack its heart?"
The reason why Gongsun Zan did not take advantage of the situation and enter Jizhou at first was mainly because he was worried that Yuan Shao's shot at Zhang Yan was a false shot, and he deliberately set a trap for Gongsun Zan so that he could invite you into the trap, so Gongsun Zan did not dare to take this risk.
After much deliberation, he finally did not break into Jizhou, which seemed empty but was actually lurking in danger. Instead, he found another battlefield and attacked Qingzhou, hoping to attack it and save it, in an attempt to catch Yuan Shao off guard and regain the initiative in this war.
.
However, this time Yuan Shao led his troops to attack Heishan with great fanfare and boldly exposed his innermost feelings. In fact, it was an "empty city strategy". As a result, he successfully frightened Gongsun Zan and made him dare not invade because of worries. Therefore, according to Jushou and others' expectations, let
Gongsun Zan thought he had an opportunity and fell into the quagmire of the battlefield in Qingzhou.
It was not until a few days after the siege that Gongsun Zan finally got the news that Yuan Shao was really attacking Zhang Yan and was not making a fuss. Therefore, when the entire army was unable to attack Pingyuan for a long time, Liu Weitai put forward this suggestion at the right time, hoping that it would
The army turned around and abandoned the plains to attack Jizhou.
Guan Jing glanced at Liu Weitai angrily, moved his body aside as if he was disgusted, and said to Gongsun Zan: "It's difficult to get down from the plains, how can it be easy to get to Yecheng? If he retreats at this time, Zang Hong will not leave the city even if he doesn't leave the city.
The pursuit can also lead to a counterattack against Tian Kai after our army leaves. By then, our arrangements in Qingzhou will not only be in vain, but we will also be completely isolated in the north, and it will no longer be possible to open up key roads and communicate with Xuzhou."
Qingzhou is extremely important to Gongsun Zan. It is the link between him and Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, and even the later general Yuan Shu. If Qingzhou is controlled by Yuan Shao's Zang Hong, Lu Bu and others, then Gongsun Zan will be alone in the north and with the south.
Allies are cut off from contact and can easily be defeated by each other. Therefore, he cannot easily abandon this place, and now he can only remain in a stalemate.
Gongsun Zan said with a gloomy face: "Didn't it mean that when Liu Xuande was prime minister in Pingyuan, it was difficult to defend against external invaders, but he was rich and generous at home, which won the hearts of the people in the country? How come Zang Hong only came to Pingyuan for less than a year, and he was able to make the officials and people serve him? I
There must be some pretense here. In comparison, I believe in Xuande more. If he stays longer, he will win more people than Zang Hong."
Guan Jing understood the meaning of Gongsun Zan's words, raised his hands and said: "What do you mean by the Lord, is that Zang Hong allows the officials and people to come to the city to help in the war, but he does not actually do so voluntarily?"
"Whether it just depends on these two days." Gongsun Zan sat with his sword in his hand and said with awe-inspiring power: "I have been attacking the city continuously in the past two days. I want to see if the army and the people in the city are united!"
When everyone in the tent saw this, they immediately sang the promise loudly.
At this time, a tent official suddenly walked in outside the tent. He looked at his head at the tent door and said, "I'm reporting to you, your Majesty. The envoy from the field is urgently reporting!"
As soon as he heard that it was Tian Kai's military report, Gongsun Zan immediately asked someone to get it for review. He quickly browsed the contents above and his face gradually became ugly.
"How abominable!" General Gongsun Zan threw the gun to the ground, slapped the table and shouted: "Young man, Lu Bu, how dare you offend me!"
Everyone looked at each other and could roughly guess what it was. It must be that after Lu Bu got Donglai, he was still not satisfied and led his troops to attack Tian Kai's rear.
Liu Weitai bravely walked down and picked up the Jiangjun newspaper. When he picked it up and took a look, he found that this was indeed what happened.
It turned out that Lu Bu, with the help of Dong Zhao, led the army to win consecutive battles and wipe out the powerful bandits one after another. Feeling satisfied, he listened to Dong Zhao's advice and attempted to take advantage of the dispute between Gongsun Zan and Zang Hong to gain control of the Qi State.
, Le'an, and even annexed Jinan and Pingyuan, completely bringing Qingzhou into the center.
Tian Kai and others did not expect that Lu Buping would attack Donglai so quickly. Unexpectedly, when they learned that there was a fire in the backyard, they were immediately in chaos.
