However, it is obvious that Chu Yan, Guan Hai and others have underestimated the army under Yuan Shao.

After all, in the early late Han Dynasty, the person most capable of unifying the Three Kingdoms was Yuan Shao.

He wants people and soldiers, and now after uniting those Karasuma people, it is the strength that is stronger than Yuan Shao in history, except that there are no four counties in the territory, Yuan Shao can be said to be the most capable one to compete with the imperial court.

Two hours later, outside the city of Linzi.

The 20,000 troops led by Ju Yi and Gao Ran have already appeared here.

The army of 20,000, most of which are Karasuma cavalry, although it is Karasuma cavalry, but a large part of the men and horses are their own cavalry trained by the Han people recruited by Gao Ran himself.

These people, who have already fused Han Chinese and 50,000 people, are easier to command.

"General Gao Lan, our army has won the banner and has taken down Le'an County, and now we only need to break through Linzi City, the seat of Qi County, and most of this Qingzhou can be in my hands."

Guo Tu, as the strategist of the vanguard army this time, obviously has some pride.

The reason why Yuan Shao suddenly attacked Liu Zheng this time was naturally because Guo Tu was instigating him.

Gao Ran, as one of several generals under Yuan Shao, has him to make a move, and it is also a matter of capturing the city, especially when Gao Ran has attacked a state and county in Qingzhou at this time, it is the time to be proud, Guo Tu patted a few horses on the side, which made Gao Ran even more proud.

"Mr. Guo Tu, thanks to your strategy, we can take down several cities of the other party in a short period of time, and when this Linzi city is laid, the follow-up army of the lord should be almost there, and then the army will sweep Qingzhou, and even in half a month, Qingzhou will be defeated, and even go south to capture Xuzhou."

The cooperation between Yuan Shao and Lu Zhi was that he led the soldiers and horses to attack Qingzhou, contained some of Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, and then the people of the imperial court went south from Yanzhou, as for whether the imperial court attacked Xuzhou or Yangzhou, it was not something that Yuan Shao should think about.

"Hmph, let that Liu Zheng despise me the last time I was on an envoy, and this time I will make him pay."

The reason why Guo Tu was so obsessed with letting Yuan Shao's men attack Qingzhou was, of course, because of Liu Zheng's contempt for Guo Tu last time, which made Guo Tu feel insulted when he was in Wu County, so Guo Tu wanted Liu Zheng to be destroyed.

In addition, this time about the plague, Liu Zheng did something excessive, and he had already offended many people, not only selling grain to Yuan Shao and others at a high price.

made Yuan Shao more and more jealous of Liu Zheng, when the plague was rampant, Yuan Shao had to rely on Liu Zheng, and it was not good to turn his face directly.

Now that the plague has passed, coupled with the end of spring ploughing, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have also recovered, which makes Yuan Shao have to do something.

At this time, Lu Zhi, Liu Zheng and others also became more and more jealous of Liu Zheng because of Liu Zheng's affairs, so Yuan Shao found an opportunity to take a break with Lu Zhi.

"Mr. Guo Tu, this Linzi City, I'm afraid it's not so easy to fight, before Le'an County, we were caught off guard by the other party, and the cavalry captured Le'an County before they had time to react in a short period of time, and now the other party has reacted, there are already a lot of soldiers and horses in this Linzi City, and it will be difficult to quickly defeat Linzi City."

Although he had already occupied some advantages before, Ju Yi did not feel that his people could easily defeat Linzi City.

The height of the city in Linzi City is not comparable to the cities attacked before.

Linzi City is the city tower alone is tall and two long, six or seven meters high, look down from the city tower, need a long cloud ladder to be able to erect the city tower.

Even if it is the first to climb the dead under Ju Yi, it is not easy to climb up, and if it is attacked, it will definitely be seriously injured.

Although his Xiandeng dead soldiers did not suffer much casualties in the previous battle, if they were killed and wounded in the first battle of attacking Linzi City, it would not be acceptable to Ju Yi.

"General Ju Yi, do you have any way to attack Linzi City?"

"The city of Linzi is high and strong, it is not a good choice for a strong attack, and besides, you and I are mostly cavalry, and the cavalry is not good at attacking the city, in my opinion, we might as well change the route and deliberately not attack this Linzi City."

"Oh?"

Ju Yi's words attracted Gao Ran's attention.

"My men, I went to test it just now, there are at least 20,000 people stationed in this city, plus the people we caught when we came before, after asking, we know that the people stationed in Beihai have come from Beihai."

"Now we know that there are at least tens of thousands of troops in Linzi City, if it is just a vanguard army, just sweep away these little people and horses first, and open the way for the lord's army, this big fish, it is better to wait for the lord's army to attack in person."

Ju Yi does not recommend directly attacking Linzi City, no matter from all factors, they will not be beneficial in attacking Linzi City, they will only lose soldiers and horses, even if they can really defeat Linzi City, it will be worth the loss.

It's better to give up Linzi City directly, and attack other places.

In that way, before Yuan Shao's headquarters army arrived, they had recovered the entire Qingzhou, and only one Linzi City remained.

Even if the people in Linzi City find out that something is wrong and want to go out of the city to fight Juyi and them, they will be in the wild.

When it arrives, the cavalry under Gao Ran has become a big killer, and in the face of these Qingzhou troops, it is a massacre.

Ju Yi's opinion was immediately agreed by Gao Ran.

"Wonderful, with such a method, we can indeed avoid these people, and occupy Qingzhou in a short time, when the time comes, when Liu Zheng reacts, we have pacified Qingzhou, even if he is angry, he can only eat coptis dumbly and swallow his stomach."

Gao Ran immediately understood Ju Yi's intentions, and immediately agreed with Ju Yi's statement.

But Guo Tu, the pig teammate on the side, was immediately unhappy.

"No way!"

As soon as Guo Tu said this, Ju Yi and Gao Ran were both stunned, and immediately looked at Guo Tu, wanting to hear Guo Tu say a reason.

"Two generals, if we don't attack Linzi City, won't the role of our vanguard army be gone?"

"Well, how?"

"Do the two generals want to take down Linzi City to wait for the lord to be rewarded, or do they want to wait for the lord to come here, and then give the credit to the people behind, when the time comes, we will lay down Linzi City, and then before the lord's men and horses arrive, they will directly occupy the entire Qingzhou, you say such a big credit, don't you want it?"
