Chapter 181: The Situation
Yizhou.
At this time, Liu Zhang's troops and He Jin's troops on the Yizhou side were already entangled, and the two sides could be said to have fought several times.
The battle situation can be said to be very hot and anxious. As soon as He Jin came up, he launched an attack on all fronts. Liu Zhang's troops fought at the beginning can be said to be defeated and retreated, but Liu Zhang's troops are old princes after all. Although the reaction was a little slow, it also blocked the first charge.
After a few charges, He Jin did not take any advantage here. After all, He Jin's army on this side marched in a hurry. Coupled with the day and night journey, it can be said that it is a little tiring. Combat effectiveness is a little impaired.
And the troops on Liu Zhang's side can be said to have been waiting here for several days. Although it was said that it was sneak attacked, the effect was not very obvious, and it can only be said that He Jin's troops were caught off guard this time. It didn't work out well.
He Jin originally thought that Liu Zhang did not have many troops here, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to arrange so many troops to treat the troops here.
He also felt that He Jin's troops were very strong, and he was very serious about He Jin, so he didn't dare to underestimate He Jin, so this time, He Jin was a little careless.
Although it is a bit careless, but that's it, this does not affect the next battle plan of He Jin's side, as long as he takes a break, then the overall combat effectiveness of He Jin's side will rise a lot as a whole.
When the time comes, it can be said that the troops on Liu Zhang's side will be just around the corner. At present, the troops on the side of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao are respectively supporting the Yizhou side.
Everything can be said to be too fast, and Kong Rong and Ma Teng's troops are also holding back. In a short period of time, the troops of Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao could not reach Liu at all.
Youzhou and Jingzhou have all been dragged down. In a short period of time, these two troops will not be able to reach the Yizhou battlefield at all.
At this time, the Yizhou battlefield can be said to be a focal point of the entire thirteen states. It is also a breakthrough point in the next battle.
Qingzhou side, and Yuzhou side. For the time being, there was no big fighting, and the two sides seemed to have reached some agreement, and neither sent too many troops to attack.
Over there in Yuzhou. It's still understandable. After all, the food problem on the side of Yuzhou can be said to be known to the thirteen states, but I am afraid that you already know about the northern barbarians.
Therefore, it is understandable that Yuzhou does not plan to send too many troops, but it is incomprehensible on the northern barbarian side.
Because, Yuzhou's side is because of food shortage, but the northern barbarians are still relatively rich in food, so why didn't he attack Yuzhou's side.
This is very incomprehensible, really incomprehensible, after all, the northern barbarians were still fighting fiercely before.
But now, there is no reaction at all, which makes people very surprised and confused, and I don't know why, what caused it.
In fact, Yuzhou knows it. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian's troops have been found. The secret army of the northern barbarians hiding secretly on the side of Qingzhou.
That is, some of the hidden troops on the side of the northern barbarians, and the two sides can already be said to have exchanged fire. It's all done in secret, and no one knows about it.
During this time. Cao Cao's troops, Yuan Shao's troops, and Sun Jian's troops have been conducting secret assaults on the northern barbarians.
Although there is still a little gap between the two sides, it is made up for because of the number of people. Therefore, the combat strength of the two sides is equal, and there is no big disparity.
It can be said that no one knows about the fight between the two sides, and at present, only the northern barbarians know, as well as Cao Cao's side, Yuan Shao's side, Sun Jian's side, and Yuzhou's side.
As for the people in the other states, they didn't get the news at all, after all, they didn't know about it at all. There are still so many troops hidden in the north by the barbarians.
It can be said that these are some of the troops secretly hidden by the leaders of the northern barbarians. It is a unit prepared to deal with some unexpected situations.
But he didn't expect to be discovered by Cao Cao's side, which was really surprising, so in a short period of time, he didn't dare to move at all, once he moved.
I'm afraid it will be restrained, right now, Yuzhou is eyeing it. If you support that secret force, then his side will be in danger.
Once, if he finds an opportunity by Yuzhou's side, he will be broken with one blow, and then he can only retreat to Qingzhou. If the northern barbarians retreat to Qingzhou.
Then the next situation will be very difficult, and it can be said that it will be even more difficult to break into the Central Plains, so it is also difficult to ride a tiger on the northern barbarians' side, and there is no good way at all, and it can only be delayed at the moment.
Just look at Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian. If you can't stop the secret troops on the side of the northern barbarians, if you can't stop it, that's the best, if you can't stop it, the situation will be unpredictable.
At the moment, Yizhou is a focus, and it is all focused on Yizhou. The troops on He Jin's side are fighting in Yizhou, which can be said to be the largest battlefield in the entire thirteen states at the moment, and the two sides can be said to be fighting very hot.
He Jin can be said to have given a death order here. In order to kill Liu Xie, it can be said that he paid a lot. But Liu Xie is not so easy to kill, Liu Zhang is protecting him, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is protecting him, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is also protecting him, and Yuzhou can be said to be indirectly protecting him.
This Liu Xie is still very difficult to kill. Yuzhou is also protecting him. After all, Liu Xie can't die now, once he dies, then the entire royal family, the last bit of blood, will really be gone.
When the time comes. Matters that contact all parties. It's really gone, and it's impossible to do it just by relying on Yuzhou, so Liu Xie's role is just a buffer effect, although it doesn't have such a big effect, but it's still very useful at a critical time.
This is why Yuzhou wants to protect Liu Xie. At a critical time, Liu Xie has a buffering effect, which can stabilize the relationship between the surrounding forces and the royal family and clan in the major state capitals, so as to reduce some unnecessary friction and losses as much as possible.
On the Yuzhou side, they didn't want to launch too much of a surprise attack to kill these people. After all, if you do this, you will kill a lot of people, and Yuzhou doesn't plan to do this.
Yuzhou, on the other hand, wants to solve all these problems in a gentle way. It can be said that these are all decisions that can only be made after the northern barbarians are forced to retreat.
After these trivial matters are resolved, then it is time for the Central Plains to wave the Northern Expedition. At that time, the entire Central Plains will be pacified, and the northern side will also be pacified.
It can be said that this is the big plan for the next year in Yuzhou. The most important thing is to drive out the people from the northern barbarians, which is an important strategy on the Yuzhou side, and this is also a strategic indicator on Cao Cao's side.
At the same time, Cao Cao's side.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian were plotting a meeting. Cao Cao said lightly at this time.
"I didn't expect that this northern barbarian, the hidden troops, would be so strong. I was surprised that the assault on our side did not achieve any real results. ”
"When I first positioned it. I couldn't believe it, but when it really found out, it was really the secret army of the northern barbarians. I was pleasantly surprised. I was going to do a surprise attack and annihilate this force in one fell swoop. ”
"I didn't expect this force to be so vigilant. It is worthy of being the trump card force on the side of the northern barbarians. We're careless. ”
"The preparations we made before, so to speak, have failed. It's a useless exercise. ”
Yuan Shao said lightly at this time.
"It's not useless, is it? Basically, our side can be said to have delayed for a while for Yuzhou's side. And a good thing. At the moment, the states don't know that our side is at war with the ace forces of the northern barbarians, and if they know about it, we may be in a difficult situation internally. I'm afraid they'll raid our base camp, and we'll be in real trouble then. ”
Sun Jian shook his head at this time and said.
"Probably not, Yuzhou is still watching. They won't find out in a short time. But the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be. At present, our side must bear it, if we can't bear it, the situation on the Yuzhou side will be very difficult next. ”
"As long as we hold on to our side, we try to delay as much time as possible. When the autumn harvest in Yuzhou is completed, it will be the time for our side to fight back. ”
Cao Cao thought for a moment at this time, and then said.
"That's true. After the autumn harvest is completed in Yuzhou, it is time for our side to counterattack, I think the northern barbarians are probably waiting for an opportunity, but they are at this time. I guess it's on our side, if our side can't hold it. Then it will be difficult for Yuzhou. ”
"Right now, our side can be said to be a key, and our side must be guarded, understand?"
Sun Jian and Yuan Shao said on the side at this time.
"We get it, don't worry. Nothing like this will ever happen. ”
Cao Cao thought for a moment at this time, and then said.
"I hope so. I hope that our side will not drop the chain for the Yuzhou side, once the chain is dropped, not only will it be difficult for our side, but it will also implicate the Yuzhou side. Try not to hold back the Yuzhou side, understand? ”
"At present, Yuzhou is a hope on our side, and it is also a hope for driving away the northern barbarians. It's impossible for others, and now He Jin is actually crazy over there. In order to kill Liu Xie, I am afraid that he has gone crazy, and he doesn't care about anything at all, my people have already contacted him, but he doesn't listen to anything. ”
It can be seen that the heart of killing Liu Xie is among them. I also heard about the things back then, but I didn't expect that the pressure on He Jin would be so great, in order to kill Liu Xie, he didn't even care about the overall situation, which is really incomprehensible. ”
Yuan Shao said lightly at this time.
"Who's to say it isn't? If you want to blame Liu Xie, blame Liu Xie, the incompetence of the year. Why did you kill He Jin's sister? ”
Sun Jian said on the side at this time.
"I can only talk about what happened back then. It's all because of Liu Xie. On the one hand, it is because he can't control the situation. Someone needs to be killed. I didn't expect it. This person turned out to be He Jin's sister. ”
Cao Cao said on the side at this time.
"Forget it, it's all old things, let it pass, the grievances between He Jin and Liu Xie are already mortal enemies, and we can't adjust them at all. Now, should we try to be as fast as possible? Let the pressure on the northern barbarians be greater, and let him send troops quickly, so that the Yuzhou side can also relieve some of the pressure. ”
Yuan Shao said on the side at this time.
"But there's going to be a lot of pressure on our side."
At this time, Sun Jian on the side said.
"I don't think the northern barbarians will dare to send troops, after all, the Yuzhou side has been staring at it, once the northern barbarians send troops. Then their defense will definitely be lax, and if the Yuzhou side seizes the opportunity at that time, they will definitely attack the northern barbarians in one fell swoop. ”
"Then you don't have to wait until after the autumn harvest. It can be said that it is a game at the moment. It's up to whoever can break the game first. ”
Cao Cao said at this time.
"That's true, it's hard to break this game right now. I hope that Yuzhou can seize the opportunity. Break the game as soon as possible, that's it. There would not be so many wars in the Central Plains. ”
Yuan Shao and Sun Jian said one after another.
"That's true."
At the same time, Yuzhou's side.
At this time, Lin Chuan looked at the information in front of him and said lightly.
"Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, how is the situation on Cao Cao's side? Can you still bear it? ”
Guo Jia said on the side at this time.
"Tell the lord, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian's troops can still withstand it for the time being, and Cao Cao's side has sent a message. There will be no accident on their side in a short time, but after a long time, they are afraid that the northern barbarians will launch a breakthrough on their side, and they may not be able to withstand it at that time. ”
Lin Chuan said at this time.
"That's true, this force hidden by the northern barbarians is still extremely strong. It will be fine in a short period of time. However, if it takes a long time, I'm afraid something will happen. ”
"Right now, we have to wait for the autumn harvest before we can counterattack the entire northern barbarians. It's going to take a little longer. Let Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian's troops push a little more time as much as possible, this is also a matter of no choice. We can't prevent it for the time being. ”
Lin Chuan thought for a moment at this time, and then said.
"Right now, what's going on in Yizhou. It's also a headache over there, you must let Liu Zhang's troops hold it back, understand? There are also troops who keep an eye on Ding Yuan's side, and troops on Lu Bu's side. ”
"However, I'm worried that there will be a battle on their side, let's watch them, the contradiction between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's side is still relatively deep, once there is a battle on their side, I'm afraid that Yuzhou's side will be involved, and the situation will be really difficult at that time."
"I'm afraid, the northern barbarians are probably waiting for this opportunity."
Guo Jia said on the side at this time.
"That's true, I'm afraid that the northern barbarians are also waiting for this opportunity. I think that our side can no longer sit idly by, we must deter the people in various states, and now there are some people from various states who are recruiting on our side, presumably, because of He Jin's side. ”
Lin Chuan nodded at this time, and then said.
"That's true, He Jin did make some agreements with some princes to prevent our side. But my side may not be able to make a move on He Jin's side, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"For the sake of one. Let the northern barbarians break through, it is simply impossible on our side. It can be said that He Jin actually thinks too much, but he doesn't blame him. On our side, we are thinking about the big picture. Let's hope everything goes well. ”
"Right now, our side can only wait for the autumn harvest to sanction the states, and only then can we launch a surprise attack on the northern barbarians, and before the autumn harvest, our side can only temporarily hold still, you are right, it's good to deter for the time being."
"Although they are over there. But they may not be able to make a move on our side, because they also know that once they attack our side, then they will let the northern barbarians in, and then it will be really difficult. ”
"When the time comes, after the northern barbarians attack our side, their side will not be spared at that time."
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, and then said.
"Tell me to go down. The heads of the MeSign states, let them know that our side still has the strength to deal with them, and let them not act rashly for the time being, understand? ”
Guo Jia said on the side at this time.
"Okay, my lord, I'll arrange it."
