Chapter 40: A dilemma between Yuan Benchu

"Liu Xuande, when will they arrive?"

Yuan Shao walked around on the west city wall, looking into the distance from afar, he always felt as if he was about to see Liu Bei and them, but he was faint and couldn't see clearly.

It's been a morning, why is it still faint like that, and you can't see it really?

Yuan Shao complained to Wen Chou beside him.

"And Zhao Zilong should have gone to find Xu Gongming to surround us, but there is no news from the east. Zhong Qian, what kind of medicine do you say is sold in this Liu Xuande's gourd? ”

Lord, you don't want me.

Wen Chou just thought of this sentence in his heart, but since Yuan Shaodu was already exportable, he had to answer a few words even if he couldn't figure it out.

"This ...... Maybe Liu Xuande is afraid of war? ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Chou wanted to slap himself twice, this Liu Bei's strength advantage is in front, Liu Bei has not yet met his own army, how can he be afraid of war?

Yuan Shao glanced at Wen Chou, he said this kind of answer, it seems that Zhong Qian still hasn't grown.

But it's not right to say that he hasn't grown, the last time Xu Yu and frustrated the teaching, it was Wen Chou's discovery.

Now that I think about it, I guess he hit it right.

Yuan Shao shook his head.

He knew that Liu Xuande's people were definitely not that simple, after all, he had Chen Chen by his side.

If they like to play complicated, then maybe their vision will not be limited to Tai'an City.

According to what he said and thought so, Yuan Shao felt a sigh in his heart, and he suddenly thought that Chen Chen might suggest Liu Bei what to do.

Thinking about it, after Zhao Yun harassed his city, he rode his horse and galloped away from Tai'an City and headed in the direction of Mount Tai, while Liu Bei and the others were grinding and chirping, and they disappeared for a few days.

Now he didn't wait for the arrival of Liu Bei's army, nor did he wait for Zhao Yun to take Xu Huang to outflank him from the rear. Basically, Zhao Yun should have gone in the direction of Qingzhou, and he may have brought Xu Huang's Dingyuan army.

Yuan Shao thought about it again, and the guys he left in Qingzhou instantly felt half cold.

Because if he wants to fight Liu Bei, he definitely has to take out all his family resources, Yuan Shao naturally brought all the main forces that are good at fighting, and only some local troops are left behind in Qingzhou.

According to the previous layout, there was still a defensive line on the border of Taishan County, and the territory controlled by Yuan Shao and them could be stopped by the main force of Liu Bei's army, and the battle they had would only take place on one battlefield.

But now, Yuan Shao's army moved away from the position and stuffed himself directly into Taishan County, which is equivalent to giving up the position of Le'an, and as soon as this position is abandoned, the passage into Qingzhou will be directly sent to Liu Bei.

Especially now that Zhao Yun has taken Xu Huang after bypassing Sun City, then they only need to cross Mount Tai to go straight to Qingzhou.

Yuan Shao's scalp was a little numb, and he scratched his head a little anxiously.

All the logistics and families of his army are in the rear, and his two sons are also in the rear. Compare the combat power of Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, and then think about the combat power of those armies left behind them, even if they have their own talent and skill bonuses, they are definitely not Zhao Yun and Xu Huang's opponents.

But what could he do now? Will he be able to abandon Tai'an City and return to Qingzhou with a large army?

Not really.

Once out of the city, the battle between him and Liu Bei became a field encounter.

Not to mention, if Zhao Yun and Xu Huang did not attack Qingzhou by surprise, but set up an ambush on the road and waited for them, they would attack from all sides at that time. Their own army will never hold on.

It may also be that as soon as he opened the city gate, Liu Bei's army would suddenly arrive.

This is a naked conspiracy.

As long as they are familiar with the art of war, Xiaochang's military generals, under the current situation, may be able to make a judgment and understand what Liu Bei and they want to do.

But no matter how much they read the art of war, no matter how much they understand military affairs, they probably won't be able to break this situation now.

This is because this gap in strategy and strength cannot be broken by the art of war and skills, and this kind of oncoming and mighty sense of oppression is difficult to resist.

Yuan Shao felt hopeless.

If this continues, the decisive battle will not be a decisive battle, but a judgment book for his defeat.

"Zhong Qian, if you are sent back to Qingzhou with more than 10,000 cavalry, can you guarantee to protect Qingzhou and prevent Zhao Zilong and Xu Gongming from succeeding?"

With a glimmer of hope, Yuan Shao turned back to be ugly.

But this task is too difficult, Wen Chou suffered a loss in the hands of Zhao Yun, and Wen Chou also described the situation during the battle to Yuan Shao in detail, even if Wen Chou is strengthened, he may not be able to beat Zhao Yun.

What's more, there is not only one Zhao Zilong on the other side, but also Xu Gongming.

And if Wen Chou can't protect Qingzhou, then the meaning of his departure will be negative.

Because if Wen Chou leaves, then in the subsequent war, Yuan Shao will not be able to send troops out of the city at all, and he will not be able to leave Tai'an City at all.

He will be completely disadvantaged and passive.

Damn, it's this damn powerlessness again.

Originally, I thought of myself back then, the outrageous young man I met outside Luoyang City, although the young man's words sounded rebellious and confused, but he would definitely choose to recruit him immediately, or kidnap him directly.

If we had done that, perhaps we would be in a different situation today.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as the original.

As Yuan Shao expected, after Zhao Yun received Chen Chen's letter, he found Xu Huang's location in Mount Tai, they gathered in one place, set up an ambush in Mount Tai for two days, and did not wait for Yuan Shao's pursuers, they left Mount Tai and headed towards Qingzhou.

The first one they left was Le'an.

In fact, after Le'an City was repeatedly occupied by Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, the people in the city did not have much enthusiasm for either side, but passively accepted the occupation of the new troops.

However, Xu Huang had occupied this place before, and he was familiar with this city, so it was also familiar to take Le'an City, which did not have many defenders.

Moreover, Zhao Yun's White Horse Army's record of eleven cities in the Yunzhong Army was not a joke.

This White Horse Army is now in the mouth of the people of the world, and it is the first cavalry to siege the city.

There is such a thing as horse warfare, whether it is strong or not, and not to mention the record of the siege, the White Horse Army is a must.

Yuan Shao himself did not leave much of a strong garrison in Qingzhou, and even the scale was not as good as the half of the Dingyuan army led by Xu Huang now.

So the two of them joined forces, and the speed of the siege was extremely fast.

On the side of Tai'an City, Liu Bei's army had not yet arrived under Tai'an City, and Zhao Yun and they had already taken the entire Qingzhou.

Xu Huang and their chess pieces are almost inserted into the boundary of Xuzhou.

Fortunately, Liu Bei and Tao Qian also exchanged letters, and the relationship was not bad, and they did not involve the territory of Xuzhou. As for Yanzhou and Yuzhou, where do they have the strength and confidence to meet Liu Bei and Yuan Shao and come to Qingzhou to grab territory.

Don't look at Yuan Shao looking weak now, but that is relative to Liu Bei, in addition to Liu Bei, Yuan Shao is also the number one prince today.

So the battle between Qingzhou and Jizhou, it can be regarded as a war between the gods, mortals will suffer if they don't hide, everyone is too late to hide, how can they get together and rob Qingzhou?

Therefore, Xu Huang stayed in Qingzhou to rectify the soldiers and horses, and accepted the displaced people, which was regarded as a relatively fast integration of Qingzhou, and strived to allow Liu Bei and them to recover a revitalized Qingzhou after the war.

And Zhao Yun turned around and rushed back to Tai'an to help Liu Bei.

"So we took down this Qingzhou like this?"

Liu Bei blinked his eyes, looking at the letter that Zhao Yun sent back in his hand, this decisive battle has not yet begun, Qingzhou has already arrived in his hands.

The entire Han world, divided into Kyushu.

The land of Kyushu, four of which are in their own hands.

So in your own hands, isn't there half of the country?

Liu Bei winked at Chen Chen again.

Why do I always feel that something is wrong, how fast this progress is a little scary.

When I first arrived in Taiyuan County and then became the pastor of the state, it took a total of several years. In the past few years, there have been countless aspects of the business, and although the development is not difficult, it is not easy.

In the past few years, there have been hundreds of battles, large and small, and he can be regarded as holding the state and sitting firmly in the position of the state pastor.

But now it's only a one-year limit, how can I just start to cross the Taihang Mountains, just want to get half of the situation of Jizhou, and now, I have won Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou.

The territory swelled up like a balloon.

It's scary and dreamy when you think about it now.

"It's already been taken down, Xuande Gong doesn't have to think about it. Our task now is to solve the last city of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao, and after solving it, we will completely take Qingzhou. ”

Chen Chen plucked out his ears with a natural smile on his face.

"After we take Qingzhou, we will continue to develop."

Liu Bei nodded, he was quite happy.

But it didn't take long for him to feel that something was wrong, how did he feel that something was strange.

It seems that when he first got Taiyuan County, Chen Chen seemed to have said something like this, we have to rely on the development of Taiyuan with Taiyuan, why do we have to go to the land of Sizhou?

If Chen Chen wants to let go of the fight, wouldn't he have unified the Han Dynasty now and dominated the world?

Sure enough, Mr. is the number one plan in the world!

With Mr., it is really a blessing for three lives!

Liu Bei himself made up a bunch of big dramas in his heart, as the saying goes, it is called lewdness.

If Chen Chen knew Liu Bei's thoughts, then he could only say that Liu Bei still didn't understand the economy.

If only in terms of the size of the territory, it is true that this growth rate is somewhat beyond imagination.

However, if we convert land into capital, from an economic point of view, it is only a high-speed stage of economic development.

The previous operation in Taiyuan was laying the foundation, and now the foundation has been solid, so it is natural to spread its own strength and have enough achievements.

Or from another point of view, judging from the natural growth rate of species, the current power of Liu Bei's camp is in the vicinity of K/2.

Chen Chen knows what he said, and the next stage should be really low-key.

Because if after defeating Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, who owns the land of Sizhou, basically has the confidence to push the world, and other forces will naturally be prepared against Liu Bei in advance, even if Liu Bei does not take any offensive measures against them.

So if you want to take down the whole Han more easily and quickly.

Now we must keep a low profile, so that others will forget about the four northern states and forget Liu Bei, the giant.

"Now that Qingzhou has been taken, then we should attack Tai'an City."

Xun You added next to him, he found that he was always prone to sleep if he was too idle recently, and he always felt as if someone had passed on his negative state to himself.

Like Chen Chen, he is better at this kind of big strategic layout, so Xun You prefers to have some pre-war real-time strategy.

"What Mr. Gongda said is, then let's go, it is estimated that it will only be a matter of a few hours."

Liu Bei waved his hand, he was in a good mood now, he was in this situation, there were still these people around him, and he felt that he had long been invincible.

In his opinion, setting off to fight Yuan Shao is like going to receive his honorary certificate.

"Then let's set off as a whole army, and I'll go lie down."

Chen Chen thought about it, he could lie down and paddle next, it seemed that Xun You had held back for too long and was about to make a big move.

At this time, you should sensibly find a place to rest and watch movies.

It's like the original Hun War.

Speaking of which......

After beating Yuan Shao this time, do you have to faint too?

Chen Chen suddenly thought of this question, he always suspected that after taking Xihe County, he was trapped for two days because of the expansion of the territory, which affected his mental strength.

But after taking Jizhou and Youzhou, he didn't feel anything wrong.

Could it be that there is some mystery in Xihe County?

Looks like I'm going to have to take someone back to see it.

Chen Chen pondered by himself, but the person was already lying in the carriage, and both eyes were closed.

"Sir is pretending to fish again."

Liu Bei smiled and pointed at Xun You, Chen Chen, who was lying down with his back to them.

"If someone who doesn't know comes in, it is estimated that Mr. will think that Mr. has been fishing all day, but in fact, it is the harvest brought by Mr. Talent."

Xun You nodded approvingly.

"Brother Chen'er looks like this, wise and foolish."

Chen Chen, who pretended to be asleep, pouted, I have already pretended to be asleep here, why are you still discussing me? Shouldn't it be time to start discussing tactical plans for reinforcements?

But it's okay, it should only be for a moment.

But how could he have imagined that during the time he lay down and pretended to be asleep, it was a full two hours, four hours.

Liu Bei and Xun You are both blowing him up here.

Could it be that today is the arrival of the Kwakwa group?

Chen Chen was a little puzzled, why did he brag about himself like this today?

Just as he was wondering, the carriage stopped.

"Big brother, Tai'an City has arrived!"

Zhang Fei poked his head in from the window outside the carriage and happened to face Chen Chen, who was pretending to be asleep.

"Eh, why does the gentleman lie down and not sleep?"

Liu Bei and Xun You smiled and looked at this guy who was indifferent after listening to the rainbow fart for four hours and was lying on his side peacefully, this guy was really thick-skinned.

Chen Chen: ......
