Zhang Liao solemnly said: "Yuan Shao did not stay in Yixian to guard, but chose to continue withdrawing his troops. According to the current trend, Yuan Shao is very likely to retreat to Muxian County in the south and rely on Muxian County to resist us."
Tian Chou looked in agreement and said: "General Wen Yuan's words are right. Yuan Shao retreated to Min County, and he can use the city to defend himself. This time in the battle of Yijing City, Yuan Shao suffered huge losses, but after a large number of fleeing soldiers returned, Yuan Shao's military strength also declined.
Not weak. If we attack Mon County by force, the losses will be even greater."
Zhang Liao said seriously: "It is not suitable to attack the city by force. Other means must be used."
Tian Chou asked: "What did you think about it?"
A flash of light flashed across Zhang Liao's eyes, and he said: "Yuan Shao retreated to the defense of Min County, and we trapped him to death. We arranged for sentries to spread the news that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed, and then falsely reported that Yuan Shao had fainted and was in critical condition, and could no longer escape.
.”
"The news is true or false. If Yuan Shao is trapped in Mo County, it will easily be true."
"Further steps can cause shock in Jizhou."
"We adopted the strategy of encircling the points to provide reinforcements, forcing Yuan Shao's other armies to rush to reinforcements, and constantly annihilating the Jin soldiers and horses who came to reinforcements."
"In addition, after Yuan Shao was trapped in Mo County, although food and grass could temporarily support him, Mo County did not have as much food reserves as Yi County, so it would definitely not be able to support him."
Zhang Liao looked confident and said: "When we are surrounding Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shao can't bear it first and wants to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight with us, it will be easier to defeat Yuan Shao's army in one go."
Tian Chou praised: "As expected of General Wenyuan, his strategy is outstanding. This arrangement is very good."
Zhang Liao said: "If Tian Changshi thinks it is feasible, I will arrange it."
Tian Chou said firmly: "Hurry up and make arrangements."
"Report!"
A soldier entered and reported: "Tian Changshi, there is a battle report from the state of Wu."
"Send it up quickly."
Tian Chou gave an order.
The news about Lu Xuan's campaign in Yizhou, as well as Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other aspects were collected in Shuxian, and then sent out from Shuxian, and sent out sentries to Youzhou. Although the news was slower, it could still take care of Youzhou.
.
Tian Chou took the letter from the soldier's hand and read it quickly.
After reading it, the smile on his face was beyond words and he handed the letter to Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao read more, Tian Chou said: "Your Majesty defeated Cao Cao in Yizhou. The governor of Zhou Dynasty is encroaching on Yanzhou. The defeat of Xiahou Dun is just around the corner. Although there is no further news about the Qingzhou Governor Kuai for the time being, the Kuai Governor has captured Qingzhou and the situation has completely reversed.
to the State of Wu."
Zhang Liao lamented: "The king defeated Cao Cao and captured Yizhou. The governor of Zhou used his troops to invade like fire and swept across Yanzhou. The governor of Kuai had far-reaching plans and could kill with one strike. They all achieved further success, which is amazing."
Having said this, Zhang Liao clenched his hand into a fist, waved it fiercely, and said loudly: "Tian Changshi, I don't want Youzhou to fail to break through."
His eyes were fiery.
A fierce fighting spirit also emerged in his chest.
Yizhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou have all made breakthroughs, how can he keep making no progress?
Tian Chou's eyes were bright and he said: "You are right, we in Youzhou are not inferior to others and cannot make no progress. Jizhou is Yuan Shao's base camp, and it is difficult for us to capture the entire Jizhou. However, to seize parts of Jizhou, we can take advantage of Yuan Shao.
If you tear off a piece of meat, you still have a chance."
Zhang Liao echoed: "Tian Changshi is right."
"Report!"
Another soldier entered and reported: "Tian Changshi has the latest information on Qingzhou."
"Bring it here quickly."
Tian Chou quickly ordered.
He took the letter from the soldier again. After reading it, he became even more horrified and said, "The news I just sent back is that Kuai Liang sent troops from Qingzhou and asked Zang Ba to lead his troops to quietly raid Chonghe County in Bohai County and seize the county seat.
"
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said: "Zang Ba captured Chonghe County, Jizhou will definitely be shaken. Yuan Shao's army left behind in Yecheng will definitely be sent to Chonghe County. It will be easier for us to besiege Yuan Shao."
"Tian Changshi, I think our goal needs to be adjusted. Defeating Yuan Shao is not enough. I think Bohai County must be captured. The Hejian Kingdom where we are now must also be captured, and Yuan Shao must be severely damaged."
Zhang Liao said: "After defeating Yuan Shao, we can capture more places."
Tian Chou said in a deep voice: "Not only that, but also the Zhongshan Kingdom southwest of Zhuo County. Once Zhongshan Kingdom, Hejian Kingdom and Bohai County are connected, Yuan Shao's Jizhou will be completely weakened and become our meal."
Zhang Liaoyue became more and more excited as he said, "It's just that it's difficult to seize Zhongshan Kingdom, Bohai Jun and Hejian Kingdom at the same time."
Tian Chou smiled and said, "It's actually easy to arrange."
Zhang Liao asked: "How to arrange it?"
Zhang Liao was very good at marching and formation, and could also command large armies in battle. When it came to strategy and winning by surprise, Tian Chou was even more powerful. This time, with the help of Gongsun Zan's Yijing City, Yuan Shao's troops were consumed, which was Tian Chou's layout.
The actual fighting was led by Zhang Liao.
The timing of the battle, the arrangement of the strategy, everything is prepared by Tian Chou.
A flash of light flashed across Tian Chou's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "In addition to large-scale publicity about the results of Kuai's capture of Chonghe County, as well as publicity about Yuan Shao's defeat, our general plan remains unchanged, trapping Yuan Shao to death, and encircling him.
Click for help.”
"In addition, Gongsun Kang, the governor of Zhuojun, and Tian Yu, the governor of Liaodong, are dispatched to fight. Both of them have certain strength."
"Gongsun Zan sent troops from Zhuo County and went south to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom. Tian Yu sent troops from Liaodong and led his troops south to attack Bohai County. Whether he goes south by the seaside road or goes south by boat, he can attack Bohai County."
"Three-pronged approach to seize the Jizhou region."
Tian Chou looked tough and said loudly: "We, the people in Youzhou, cannot let the governor Kuai and the governor of Zhou be more beautiful than us. After all, we in Youzhou are also a battlefield."
Zhang Liao praised: "Tian Changshi's plan is very good. I am afraid that after this battle, Tian Changshi will become the real governor of Youzhou and truly take charge of Youzhou."
Tian Chou looked humble and said: "General Wenyuan has given me the compliment. I appreciate your good words."
Tian Chou changed the subject and solemnly told: "In short, this is our current plan. The army will rest for a day and rush south tomorrow morning to surround Yuan Shao in M County."
"Here!"
Zhang Liao responded with clasped fists.
He said directly: "There are many things to arrange in the army, I will arrange them first."
Tian Chou nodded, and after watching Zhang Liao leave, he personally met with Guan Jing, praised Guan Jing's decisiveness and decisiveness, and appeased Guan Jing and other generals under Gongsun Zan.
These people are key and cannot be ignored.
Tian Chou appeased everyone before summoning Guan Yu further and praising Guan Yu's martial arts.
After Tian Chou arranged all the personnel matters, he personally visited and comforted the injured soldiers, and mobilized doctors to diagnose and treat the patients.
When you are busy, time flies by.
Early the next morning, Tian Chou, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Guan Jing and others, together with all the troops, left Yixian and headed south towards Muxian.
