Chapter 312 Great changes in Qingzhou, Liu Beis power expansion
"Master Military Advisor, what do you think our top priority should be?"
Regarding the strategy given by Xun You, Yuan Shu expressed his approval. The general direction of the strategy is completely feasible, and even if the strategy is implemented well, Pei Yuanqing, Pei Renji and other Wagangzhai generals can join his command.
"Appreciate further details!"
I saw Xun You caressing his beautiful beard and continued to tell Yuan Shu and others the details of the strategy, such as the confrontation between Cao Cao's southward support troops and the traitor Li Zitong's troops.
No matter which side suffers a loss, it will be beneficial to Yuan Shu!
Assuming that the thief Li Zitong's troops suffered heavy casualties, the situation in Yuzhou would change and Wagang Village would be unable to support the isolated tree. If Cao's army's support troops suffered heavy casualties, Cao Cao, as the lord, would be furious and would most likely lead his troops to fight against the thief.
Fight to the death.
So for Yuan Jun,
Having eliminated the rebel traitor Li Zitong,
It also indirectly weakened the Yanzhou Army, so why not?
"The key to this battle lies in Pei Yuanqing, the most powerful general in Nawa Gangzhai.
As long as General Jia Fu can defeat or capture him alive, then our next strategic steps will be smooth..."
Seeing that military advisor Xun You was sure of victory, Yuan Shu's original worries and anguish disappeared. He dismissed the meeting and ordered his generals to assemble an army to go north and cross the river to aid Yuzhou!
"We must reach Yuzhou within three days. Anyone who dares to retreat during the march will be executed."
The iron order was like a mountain, and all the soldiers in the army did not dare to slack off. They packed up their personal belongings in the shortest possible time, then performed their duties and followed the torrent of steel towards Yuzhou.
…
The situation in Yuzhou was fierce. Wagang bandits Wang Junke, Qu Tutong and others jointly led the army to capture Qisi, Yuanlu, Fubo, Anyang, Yiyang, Xinxi and other counties.
They powerfully killed the Yuan army generals Yang Xiong, Gou Zheng, Zhen Cheng, Chang Sheng, and Cheng Gui, seriously injured Deng Mao, Cheng Yuanzhi, and Shi Wengong, and were now continuing their march south toward Yang'an County!
At the same time, after receiving the help of many fierce generals from the system, Liu Bei's forces in Qingzhou began to expand externally, intending to regain the counties in Qingzhou that had been invaded by thieves.
After learning that Liu Bei's army had annexed Zhu Can and digested Zhu Can's forces, he began to gather troops and station troops at the border.
This completely panicked the two rebel princes and kings, Gao Tansheng and Meng Jiigong, who were always carefully monitoring the whereabouts of Liu Bei's army. They hurriedly dispatched all their soldiers to prepare for battle.
"Gao Tansheng and Meng Jiigong are not even the lords of defense. It is entirely feasible to divide our forces to deal with them!"
Liu Bei followed the advice of military advisor Zhou Shu and did not worry too much. He directly gathered his soldiers and began to assign tasks. He divided his forces to attack the forces of Gao Tansheng to the west and Meng Jiong to the east.
Liu Bei currently has many generals, leaving behind Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, Zhu Biao, Zhu Yongqing, and Zhu Wannian. These five generals and eight thousand soldiers are guarding the home, and the rest are dispatched.
Liu Bei ordered Zhang Dingbian to be the chief general, and Luan Tingyu, Luan Tingfang, Luan Guangzu, Yuan Lang, and Zhu Dian to be deputy generals, commanding six thousand elite soldiers.
Head west to talk about the holy power!
He also appointed Wang Yanzhang as the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, Wang Yan as the army supervisor and grain transport officer, Wang Yansheng, Wang Yanchao, Wang Yantong, Lei Heng, Yan Shun, Zheng Tianshou, Shi En, and Li Zhong as deputy generals, commanding 10,000 elite troops.
Meng Jiong's forces from the east advanced.
In addition to these two armies, Liu Bei led 800 personal guards, military advisor Zhou Shu, commander Bo Jianyong and newly defected general Tian Yu, and recruited two people to prepare for war in the form of a support army to guard against surprises on the battlefield.
occurrence situation.
The war was about to break out. Liu Bei's general Zhang Dingbian led the army and launched a blitzkrieg attack on Gao Tansheng's forces. In just one day, he captured three counties and killed his generals Ge Qian, Zhang Jinshu, Gao Kaidao and Zhang Junli.
, Xie Leng.
This sudden encounter made Gao Tansheng unable to react for a while. By the time he led his troops to defend, Zhang Dingbian had already broken through several more cities. He led his troops directly to the Dongchao City where Gao Tansheng was located and launched an siege!
The battlefield in the west is in full swing, and so is the battlefield in the east.
Wang Yanzhang fought steadily and made great progress, defeating three 5,000-man armies sent by Meng Jiigong to block the attack, beheading his general and disciple Meng Xigui and his legitimate son Mengyi, and capturing his wife Ma Saifei alive!
Meng Jiigong knew that he was defeated, so he wrote a letter to Wang Shichong of Beihai County to ask for help. After receiving the letter, Wang Shichong also understood the meaning of death and coldness, so he dispatched Shan Xiongxin, Shan Xiongzhong, Yuchi South, Yuchi North, and Mao Gong accordingly
, Jincheng, Niugai, Qi Guoyuan and many other generals led 8,000 warriors and 5,000 armored troops to support Meng Jiong.
The supporting army totaled 13,000 people, with Shan Xiongxin as the chief general, Shan Xiongzhong as the supervisor, and Mao Gongsu as the grain transport officer. They marched towards Meng Jiong's forces in a mighty manner.
The battle in Qingzhou entered a fierce stage. Gao Tansheng in the west was defeated by Zhang Dingbian's offensive. After breaking the city, he tried to escape, but by mistake he was killed by Luan Tingyu during his escape. His general Gao Tansheng died, and the defeated general
Ge Shixiong chose to lead the remaining army and accept the surrender!
On the other side, the morale of the army under Meng Jiigong in the east was low. The successive defeats made them shrouded in fear and there were countless deserters.
Meng Jiigong knew that there was no way to continue like this, so he decided to abandon the city and flee eastward, and combined with the support army sent by Wang Shichong to launch a general attack on Wang Yanzhang's army, and the battle would determine the outcome!
After Liu Bei learned of the news, he immediately led 800 personal guards to support Wang Yanzhang. Not only that, he also sent scouts to Zhang Dingbian to ask for help, and asked Zhang Dingbian to send some of his soldiers to march towards Meng Jiong's forces to help himself and Zhang Dingbian.
Wang Yanzhang won this battle.
After Zhang Dingbian learned that Liu Bei and Wang Yanzhang were in a bitter battle, he directly arranged for his subordinates Luan Tingyu and Luan Tingfang to stay in Dongchao City with three thousand soldiers to continue cleaning up the battlefield and gathering surrendering troops.
He himself took the remaining troops and rushed to Meng Haigong's forces in a hurry to support his eldest brother and second brother!
While Zhang Dingbian was leading the army on the way, Liu Bei and Wang Yanzhang had already fought against Shan Xiongxin's troops who were supporting Wang Shichong's army.
The enemy general Shan Xiongxin rode out to challenge Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei's generals "Golden Eye Biao" Shi En and "Tiger Fighting General" Li Zhong rushed to fight, taking the Shan Xiongxin in front of them as the credit for coming to the door, and prepared to
Showing off his skills in front of the two armies, he killed Shan Xiongxin in formation to show his military prestige.
Unexpectedly, these two people working together were no match for Shan Xiongxin. The three generals from the two sides fought each other for several rounds, but Shi En and Li Zhong joined forces and were trapped in a bitter battle and could not escape!
On the other hand, Shan Xiongxin here, after figuring out the offensive routine of Shi En and Li Zhong, he directly shot out like a dragon, penetrated the back of the head of the 'tiger general' Li Zhong, and then shot the 'golden-eyed Biao' Shi
En's heart was pierced, and he killed Liu Bei's two powerful generals in an instant.
The speed was so fast that Liu Bei, Wang Yanzhang and others were caught off guard and did not react at all!
"Kill my two warriors, and I want you to pay with your blood."
Wang Yanzhang's eyes were split open, and he waved the magic weapon in his hand and rushed towards Shan Xiongxin.
Shan Xiongxin was horrified when he saw it, so he quickly rode back to his own army, hid among the armored troops, and cooperated with Meng Jiong's remnant army to launch a general attack on Liu Bei!
After a general attack, Liu Bei's army suffered heavy casualties, losing the lives of nearly two thousand soldiers. You must know that in the siege just now, the casualties did not exceed a thousand at most...
Now this round of general attack has lost two thousand soldiers, but only more than a hundred people on the opposite side have been killed. If this continues, I am afraid that the battle will be defeated!
