Qin Hao stretched his hand into the North Sea. This was undoubtedly something that Yuan Shao and Huang Chao could not bear. They would definitely use all possible means to deal with Li Jing, including jointly sending troops.
Beihai's strength is indeed too weak. Even if Li Jing has 103 points of command, it will still be difficult to resist the simultaneous invasion of the two major princes from the north and the south.
Therefore, how to let Li Jing gain a foothold in Qingzhou has become a big problem that Qin Hao needs to solve.
Forming an alliance with Song Jiang and increasing the combat power of the Northern Navy was only the first step to gain a foothold in Qingzhou, but Qin Hao's real hidden move was actually to encourage Zhu Wen to rebel.
Qin Hao didn't know what Huang Chao was thinking. It was clear that Zhu Wen had higher power and prestige in the Qi army, but he chose to support Zhu Wen's brother Zhu Tianpeng to fight against Zhu Wen. This was not done to himself.
Not feeling comfortable?
There is no doubt that Huang Chao's move left hidden dangers for the Qi army and also gave the Jin Yiwei an opportunity to sneak in.
Under Jin Yiwei's instigation, as long as Zhu Wen agreed to cooperate, the Qi army would surely fall into civil strife. By then, they would naturally have no energy to attack Li Jing's Beihai County, and the crisis in Beihai would naturally be resolved.
As for the remaining Yuan Shao in the north, with the alliance of Beihai and Liangshan, they naturally have no fear of Yuan Shao's threat and can even defeat Yuan Shao.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs.
The crisis within the Qi army was caused by Huang Chao himself, so Qin Hao was given the opportunity to provoke this.
For example, Yuan Shao's Zhao army was very united internally. Even if Qin Hao wanted to instigate internal fighting, Jin Yiwei spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but still could not find a good opportunity.
——————————
Soon, Qi armies from all over the country gathered in Linzi. After the 50,000-strong army was mobilized, Zhu Tianpeng and Zhu Wen immediately swore to go out, and their target was Li Jing's Beihai County.
At the same time, Yuan Shao also ordered Shajuanlian as his chief general, Tantaiyu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Tian Hu, Dong Cheng and other generals as his subordinates, and sent a total of 70,000 troops to conquer Beihai County.
On the Beihai side, after receiving news of the incoming armies of Zhao and Qi, Li Jing immediately organized his army to prepare for war.
However, the total strength of Beihai is only 38,000, of which more than 15,000 are new soldiers, and only 25,000 can be effective on the battlefield.
In addition, Liangshan's total military strength is only 30,000.
Therefore, even if Beihai and Liangshan unite, the total force they can mobilize is only 55,000, but what they have to face is the 120,000 Zhao Qi army.
All in all, the situation in Qingzhou was not optimistic, but Li Jing did not panic at all, and instead gave orders with a calm face.
"Where is Taishi Ci?" Li Jing shouted.
"The end will be here." Taishi Ci shouted.
"I now order you to be the chief general and lead an army of 15,000 to join forces with Liangshan and Songjiang to fight against Yuan Shao."
Song Jiang only had 30,000 troops in hand, and it was impossible to stop Yuan Shao's 70,000 troops, so Li Jing had to send troops to support Song Jiang.
"this……"
Taishi Ci looked surprised and asked: "But if the general takes away the 15,000 main troops, then the general will only have 13,000 main troops and 20,000 recruits left? So many recruits?"
How can I order Huangchao?"
"General Taishi Ci, it is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. Since I have given such an order, I am naturally certain. All you have to do is obey the order."
"This...No."
Li Jing nodded when he saw this, and then continued: "Jintai, you are the deputy general of Taishi Ci. In addition, the two generals Qin Ming and Qin Huaiyu will also join Taishi Ci's army to fight against Yuan Shao."
"No." The generals shouted.
"I will personally lead the remaining 33,000 troops to confront Huang Chao's Qi army. Ran Min and Lin Chong will go out together with me."
"No." Ran Min and Lin Chong responded together.
The armies of Zhao and Qi totaled 120,000 troops, coming in two directions from the north and the south, with the intention of occupying Beihai and Liangshan and carving up Qingzhou. Song Jiang and Li Jing also united to fight against them.
Song Jiang and Taishi Ci led 45,000 Liang troops to fight against the 70,000 Zhao troops of Shajuanmen;
Li Jing's army of 33,000 faced Zhu Tianpeng's 50,000 Qi army;
The third Qingzhou War breaks out again!
As soon as the war started, Zhu Tianpeng's 50,000 Qi troops approached Juxian County, intending to directly attack the Beihai Administrative Office, but were blocked by Li Jing and Chen's troops at Erlong Mountain.
Zhu Tianpeng also knew that the army under Li Jing's command was the entire strength of Beihai, so he was not in a hurry to conquer Beihai. As long as he was defeated immediately, Beihai County would also send a message.
The next day, Zhu Tianpeng personally led his generals to challenge. First, he sent General Shang Rang of the Qi Army to fight, while Li Jing sent Lin Chong to fight.
Shang Rang and Lin Chong fought for twenty rounds with no outcome. Lin Chong saw that he could not defeat Shang Rang in a short period of time, so he pretended to be defeated and fled. Shang Rang rode his horse to pursue him, but was stabbed to death by Lin Chong with a carbine.
After killing Shang Rang, Lin Chong still had the strength to fight again, so he continued to challenge and defeated the Qi general Fu Daozhao.
After Lin Chong defeated two generals of the Qi army in a row, the morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted, but then Wang Yanzhang's younger brother, Wang Yantong, defeated him in a hurry with just three moves.
If Ran Min hadn't taken action and rescued Lin Chong, I'm afraid Lin Chong would have been the first general to die in battle after the Qin army entered Qingzhou.
After rescuing Lin Chong, Ran Min went out to fight Wang Yantong. Wang Yanzhang knew Ran Min's reputation and understood that Wang Yantong was no match for Ran Min, so he went to help his younger brother. The two brothers joined forces to fight Ran Min.
Wang Yanzhang's basic force is as high as 104, which is just a hair away from the God of War, while Wang Yantong's basic force is also 103 points. The two brothers cooperate very well, and the combat power they unleashed by joining forces is already higher than that of the ordinary God of War.
But after all, Ran Min is not an ordinary God of War. Not only is he a super general, but his basic force is as high as 107. When he saw him fighting Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yantong alone, not only did he not fall behind, but he also had a vague tendency to overpower the two brothers.
.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Tianpeng immediately sent Xia Luqi to support Wang Yanzhang's brothers, but he was a step too late. Before Xia Luqi arrived, Wang Yantong had already been defeated and fled, leaving Wang Yanzhang still gritting his teeth and holding on.
Xia Luqi joined the war and teamed up with Wang Yanzhang to fight against Ran Min.
After fifty rounds, Wang Yanzhang was seriously injured due to lack of internal strength and retired, and the battle became a one-on-one duel between Ran Min and Xia Luqi.
As the fierce general of the God of War, Xia Luqi's strength is needless to say, but compared to the super general Ran Min, it is still far behind.
After the two men fought for a hundred rounds, Ran Min knocked away Xia Luqi's golden spear with a halberd. Just when he was about to kill Xia Luqi, Zhu Tianpeng personally came to the rescue with his generals.
