Since Yang Chou entered the army, Zhang Yang has been feeling frightened and unable to sleep or eat well. A feeling of extreme worry and uneasiness has always lingered in his heart. For this reason, he asked Yang Chou to send a messenger to report the situation every day in order to control the situation.
On the first day, there was no progress; on the second day, Yang Chou began to divide his troops; on the third day after Yang Chou set off, the latest battle situation came from the front. It was bad news that could not be worse, which made Zhang Yang worried
It felt like the sky was falling and the earth was falling - Yang Chou's three thousand army was completely destroyed, and even Yang Chou himself died in front of the battle!
The destruction of three thousand soldiers and horses was already a traumatic experience for Zhang Yang. What was even worse was that every one of the defeated soldiers who fled back one after another could tell clearly what the enemy's strength was.
"Many people, so many people, rushing out from all directions all over the mountains and plains, you can't see the end at a glance!"
"Cavalry? There are a lot of cavalry! There are only a few hundred in each route, but they launched three attacks at the same time... The subordinate is in General Yang's own team. Because he sprained his foot, he fell to the back of the team. It's very obvious to see
It is clear that when our team was attacked, it was only four-quarters of an hour before the Zengjiacun warning was issued, not even half an hour... Sir, think about it, how can such a small amount of time be enough? The raid on our team was
The cavalry and the ambush in Zengjia Village are definitely not the same people."
"General Yang rose up to resist, but the enemy general was too strong. The enemy general who attacked our team was Donglai Taishici! This man's combined spear and halberd were incredibly powerful. He was like a storm. Not to mention,
This man also has hidden weapon skills, and General Yang was killed by his halberd with one blow!"
"Zhang Shijun, you must be careful when entering the army!"
Based on everyone's opinions, Zhang Yang can come to the conclusion that the enemy is very strong, and the generals are the strongest link. The truth is worse than he guessed. The leader of the army is not only Zhao Yun, who has white horses and silver spears, but also a general.
Taishi Ci, who is equipped with a sword and a halberd! The two generals joined forces and brought an unknown number of powerful cavalry! In addition, the surrounding people were also mobilized, and there were tens of thousands of mobs helping the Qingzhou Army!
He didn't know what the truth was, but he agreed with the final advice. War was risky, so be careful when entering the army.
The army in his hands is much stronger than that of Yang Chou, but the enemy army does not seem to have used its full strength. No one can guarantee that the result of his rash attack will be stronger than that of Yang Chou.
Zhang Yang was afraid of death, and even more afraid of losing the power he had, so after repeated calculations, he rejected Mu Shun and others' call for war, broke camp and retreated to Dongwu City, and sent an envoy to report to Yuan Shao urgently, asking for rescue.
…
Yuan Shao's central army moved much faster than the two flanking divisions because he did not have to raise food and grass on the spot.
A looting-style food requisition operation will cause considerable public resentment, which will in turn affect his reputation. Yuan Shao is a man who cherishes feathers, so of course he will have some considerations.
If the Allied forces take action, it will not affect his reputation. The so-called Allied forces are originally troops with the same goal but not under unified orders. They have done evil. What does it have to do with General Yuan?
The Allies solved the supply problem by raising money locally, and Yuan Shao was able to save money and food. His reputation was not damaged, and he also lost benefits. It was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone.
There was no need to raise food, and there was support from the front. As a former outpost, Yi County had stored a lot of food, which was enough for the army to use in the short term. With protection on both wings, support in the front, and supplies in the rear, Yuan Shao marched without any distractions, and his speed was far away.
More than two lines of partial divisions.
When Zhang Yang's urgent report was received, Jizhou's main army had already reached Pingyuan City.
After joining Zhang Jaw, Jizhou's military strength has reached 60,000! The army is spread out on the plains, with continuous camps and constant sound of horns. In the face of such a military situation, the plains and the two cities of Gaotang, which are horns with each other, look so helpless.
and desolate, and in an instant they were surrounded by water.
"We are each other's horns? I want to see how they can find the palm of Gu's hand!" Standing on the top of Mingshi Mountain, overlooking the mighty army, the momentum was like a rainbow. For a while, Yuan Shao was also high-spirited.
The series of accidents that disgraced him started from this plain. Now, he has made a comeback, once again firmly holding the future in his hands, regaining his prestige, and striving to dominate the world, and he will fight here!
Guiding the mountain and guiding the country, this kind of courage certainly requires many supporting players to join in the fun. Guo Tu and others originally had this intention, but they did not expect that someone who was good at destroying the atmosphere would move faster.
"Could it be that my lord intends to attack the city?" It was a worried voice that brought Yuan Shao back to reality.
"Huh?" Fortunately, his interest was disturbed not once or twice, and Yuan Shao was more or less used to it. He made an accented sound from his nasal cavity and did not answer, because he knew that someone would help him deal with this cold-tempered man.
"If we can't defeat these two cities, how can we advance into Qingzhou? Chase the king's thieves?" Feng Ji took the lead in asking. The significance of competing with Jushou was not only for personal reasons, but also played a very positive role in the factional disputes.
There are many purposes for attacking a city, some are for occupation, and most are to ensure safety. With two cities with more than 10,000 troops stationed on the back road, who dares to continue to advance.
"What Yuan Tu said is true," Jushou shook his head, saying that he had no intention of competing for the limelight, but said worriedly: "However, the Qingzhou army is well prepared to fight, and the defensive measures in the city must have been well laid out. Maybe it is the right way for our army to attack the city.
You have played into Wang Yu’s hands.”
"Gongyu still thinks that Wang Yu's return of troops was a deliberate attempt to lure the enemy, rather than a change in Qingzhou?" Guo Tu suddenly sneered and said sarcastically: "In that case, why did Gongyu advocate for peace that day and let Wang Xiaothief do it?
Do you have room to escape?"
Jushou retorted: "Wang Yu was indeed sincere in negotiating peace. When he led his troops to retreat, didn't he just give up the Qinghe River?"
"That was his intention. He just wanted to use this to promote his reputation and force the lord to have to sacrifice himself to help him. He has a vicious heart and can only be punished!"
"Yes, the king thief is very good at creating momentum and profit. He just wants to take advantage of the lord's kindness. However, some people do not know what is good and are deceived by them, repeatedly causing trouble for his own people!"
"You guys are slanderous! Since your feelings are not your hometown, can you let others mess with you? Don't you have the eyes to see what those barbarians did in Quang Binh? You still have the nerve to say it now..."
Although Yuan Shao used political tactics to balance the internal conflicts in Jizhou, once the conflicts have arisen, it is difficult to eliminate them. It is not impossible to eliminate them. Yuan Shao is best at maneuvering, but it takes time, not less than a month.
It can be solved within a short period of time.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Seeing the chaos again, Yuan Shao became furious. He first shouted to stop everyone, and then looked at Jushu: "Now the decision to march on the army has been made. I agree with you. You only want to say what is the plan for now."
, how can we advance into Qingzhou without attacking the city?"
Jushou sighed secretly in his heart and said with force: "The Qingzhou Army fully crossed south three days ago. After crossing the river, they deployed a wide range of cavalry to intercept and kill sentries. Therefore, our army knew nothing about its movements and rushed to attack the city.
, If he really set up a plan to lure the enemy, and when our army is almost exhausted, if he turns around and kills us, wouldn't the army be in danger?"
After a pause, he saw that Yuan Shao's face was a little gentle. He must have listened to what he said. Jushou breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "For the current plan, it is better to win with stability. We will encircle Pingyuan and the two cities of Gaotang for the time being.
and
If we do not attack, we will send out elite troops and generals to explore Henan, and wait for the two partial divisions to come and join together. At that time, we can siege the city with partial divisions, keep the grain roads open, and cross the river with the main force to take Licheng directly and force the Qingzhou Army to come for a decisive battle."
Licheng is the northwest gateway of Qingzhou. Wang Yu has been operating here for a long time. It is very important to send his confidant General Xu Huang to station here in recent years. If Licheng is lost, the Jizhou army can go east along Jishui and attack Jinan along the way.
The administrative office is Dongpingling, the Le'an administrative office is Gaoyuan, and finally it points directly to Linzi City in the center of Qingzhou.
Keeping the main force intact, targeting the enemy's vital points, and taking full advantage of the strength of the troops, this is Jushou's response strategy. There is no surprise at all, but there are no obvious flaws.
Yuan Shao hesitated and didn't answer.
In his heart, of course he didn't like this step-by-step, cautious strategy. Especially when Ju Shou proposed to send elite soldiers and generals as scouts, he undoubtedly wanted to use Wen Chou's cavalry to fight a scout battle with Qingzhou.
That's not a good deal. The quality of Jizhou's cavalry is still much worse than that of Qingzhou's cavalry, who was born in Baima Yicong. Although they have the upper hand in numbers, they are fighting on the opponent's territory, which is very dangerous.
.
There is also Wen Chou. This man is also a man whose bravery exceeds his brain power. If he accidentally follows in the footsteps of Yan Liang, the cavalry establishment in Jizhou will completely disappear. Wang Yu is good at using cavalry and is famous all over the world. Without cavalry to resist, the battle that follows will be difficult.
How to fight?
However, he also knew that Jushou's strategy was the safest. After suffering so much from Wang Yu, he had to temper his arrogance from a famous family and deal with it with all his energy.
Xu You watched his words carefully and knew that Yuan Shao was unwilling to give in, so he slowly said: "But Gong Yu, your strategy is sound enough, but have you ever thought that if Wang Yu returns to the army in a hurry, it will be to deal with Langya
What about the threat? If our army delays advancing and Zang Xuangao fights alone, and is taken advantage of by Wang Yu, and is defeated or retreats, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity?"
This is the trouble in this era of separate attacks and joint attacks. Failure to contact and a slight difference in cooperation will cause one party to fall into the dilemma of fighting alone. Zang Ba is an important chess piece of the Anti-Qingzhou Alliance, and it is also the only one available at present.
If the chess piece misses the opportunity and is destroyed by Wang Yu, the Jizhou army will have to fight head-on if they want to attack Qingzhou.
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shao's expression really changed.
Jushou sighed again in his heart and played his last trump card: "Don't worry, my lord, although Langya is a long way away and it is inconvenient for news to spread, General Cao has already made arrangements for this. His military advisor Xi Zhicai has already arrived ten days ago
, arrived at Kaiyang in a light carriage and with simple servants. Zang Ba is brave and ambitious, and he will not be easily taken advantage of by Wang Yu. My lord, you can rest assured."
"Cao Cao?"
All the counselors looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect that the defeated Cao Cao would actually leave behind such a back-up man. The drama Zhicai was not well-known at first, but after entering Cao's camp, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and showed his sharpness. With this person's help
, which is enough to be worth tens of thousands of lions. There is really no need to worry too much about Zang Ba.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from a distance and drove straight down the mountain.
Yuan Shao hurriedly asked people to inquire. Not long after, the personal guard reported back, but it was an urgent report sent by Zhang Yang on the horse. Yuan Shao was surprised and suspicious, but he did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered someone to bring the messenger up and inquire in detail.
As a result, after reading the emergency report, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He threw the letter heavily on the ground, stamped his feet angrily, and cursed: "It's unreasonable. Uncle Zhang Zhi is so incompetent that Yu Gu is implicated. I'm really angry!"
All the staff were shocked. Jushou did not avoid suspicion and bent down to pick up the letter. Everyone gathered over and took a look, and all of them gasped.
After being shocked, everyone was in different moods.
Guo Tu and others looked at Ju Shou, somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
Seeking stability? Are you caught blind now? Zhang Yang has already cried and shouted for help, how could he come to join us again? A quick victory is the right thing to do.
Jushou couldn't care less about these guys, he was also in a mess. Before he could figure it out, he saw a huge chaos in Gaotang City, which frightened him so much that his breath choked in his throat.
The house leaks but it rains all night? What's going on? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! Mobile phone users please go to the m. site to read.)
