On the third day after receiving Ding Feng by his side, the potter got the news that the school affairs had returned.

Yuan Shao's army was overwhelming, and it had launched fierce attacks on all ports of the Yellow River!

Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were too many, from Le'an in the east to Hanoi in the west, almost every port had Yuan's army attacking from north to south, but the offensive was strong in some places and weak in some places.

This kind of large-scale net-casting attack can be described as unprecedented.

The potters' army, which was in charge of the governor's guard, sent urgent messages to the potters themselves almost overnight.

Looking at the emergency military information sent by the school office on the table, it was about to become a hill, and the potter's head began to hurt.

Head wind, maybe that's how it came about.

He led the mountain barbarian battalion to sit in the middle of the town, in order to be able to rush to the aid of the unfavorable location at the critical moment.

But now he found that almost as many as twenty large and small battlefields were all in unison and needed his help.

This point is more disturbing, are these generals afraid of being bullied by themselves on weekdays, and take the opportunity to retaliate...... Let's find fault together?

In desperation, the potter found his five great advisors.

Cao Cao has Xun Yu, Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu's intelligent and strategic five-person group.

The potters are not too reckless, and now the combination of Guo Jia, Chen Deng, Lu Su, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi is enough to resist...... Of course, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's age is indeed too young at the moment, and they are still on fire.

After listening to the potter's account, all five of them began to ponder, considering how to deal with the current predicament.

In the end, he saw Lu Su suddenly stand up and arch his hand to the potter: "Taifu, in fact, the current situation seems to be chaotic, but in fact, it is easy to think. ”

In terms of the overall situation, Lu Su's vision is second to none among these five people, and even Guo Jia may not be as strong as him.

"What does Zijing mean, please elaborate."

Lu Su calmly walked to the Pitu in the tent and said to the pottery merchant: "There are more than 20 large ports that our army needs to defend at the moment, and they were suddenly attacked by Yuan Shao. ”

The potter wondered: "Why? ”

Lu Su sorted out his thoughts and said: "Yuan Shao has a lot of soldiers, these many ports have been attacked for a while, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in a hurry, all the generals have made military orders, and they are afraid that they will not be able to stand for help for a while, and it is inevitable to panic and ask for help, but as long as they survive this period of time, there should be no major incident." ”

After that, Lu Su tapped at the various strategic points on the pitu one by one, and said: "And although our side needs to defend as many as twenty key points, even if some are captured, if the terrain of the northern army after crossing the river is not good, and if the troops rush into the army, it is easy to go deep alone and commit a taboo, so some places seem to be in crisis, but in fact, it doesn't matter if you lose them or not, unless our side collapses completely, but this is unlikely." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhuge Liang, who was swinging a white feather fan, suddenly woke up and said, "Reasonable! ”

The current Zhuge Liang is still too young, his vision has not been opened, and he is not as strong as Lu Su's overall view, but after all, he is an outstanding figure in history who put forward Longzhong, and subconsciously, the untapped sense of the overall situation is still quite strong, as long as he is guided a little, he can think clearly.

Therefore, the first to react was Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang got up and said: "According to Brother Zijing's meaning, the current urgency, our army only needs to guard a few suitable for the army, its port is coherent, and it is easy to be connected by the other army. ”

Lu Su said with emotion: "Kong Ming knows me well. ”

Zhuge Liang swayed his feather fan, walked to Pitu, and stared at Pitu back and forth.

"Zhencheng, Licheng, Shiquan, Yi'an, Gaomi! As long as these five places can be protected, it will be enough to protect the rest of the roads. ”

Lu Su nodded with emotion, admiring Zhuge Liang's ability to draw inferences from one another.

This little brother is really a genius, just a little mention, he can think so much.

In a few years, I am afraid that it will be far above me.

The potter also praised Zhuge Liang with satisfaction, and then took out the battle reports of these five key places.

Among the five places, the situation is the most tense in Licheng at the moment.

The generals sent by the pottery merchants to Licheng are Jiang Qin and Ling Cao, and the current person in charge of attacking here is Jiang Qi, the general under Yuan Shao's account, and a number of deputy generals, whose momentum is quite fierce, its soldiers and horses have rushed to attack the shore, Licheng City is short, Ling Cao sent a letter asking for help, saying that the defense of Licheng is in danger at the moment.

The potter immediately decided to lead the Shanman battalion to rush to Licheng to help.

After arriving in Licheng, the potter realized that he was indeed right to come to Licheng first.

There are more than a lot of strong soldiers in Hebei.

Moreover, the soldiers of the northern land are strong, tall, have many war horses, and fight bravely, and the Xuzhou soldiers and Jinling army, which have always been regarded as the strongest armies in the world, can not take advantage of them at all.

Jiang Qin's first battle in Licheng ended in a fiasco, he was beaten by Jiang Qi, three military marquis of the Jinling army were killed, Jiang Qin's generals also lost nearly one-third, Jiang Qin himself was also seriously injured, all relying on Ling Cao alone with the remnants of the defeated general in Licheng to defend the enemy, in order to continue to support.

After that, Jiang Qi's soldiers came to fight twice, Ling Cao fought bravely to kill the enemy, and faced the battle with the mentality of risking his life.

However, the losses of the Jinling army were also relatively large, and most of the remaining soldiers were wounded, and their morale was relatively low, especially Jiang Qin's serious injuries could not participate in the battle, which seriously affected the morale of the army.

It was at this moment of crisis that the potter led the mountain barbarian battalion to arrive.

The potter's banner was still in Kaiyang City in Langya Kingdom, and Mi Fang used the name of the potter to scare Gao Gan, so the potter's actions were extremely secretive, and even Jiang Qin and Ling Cao didn't know that he would come in person.

At this moment, his sudden appearance was like falling from the sky, which made the second general dare not believe it.

Jiang Qin was seriously injured and couldn't come out to greet him, and when Ling Cao saw the potter, his eyes couldn't help but turn red in an instant.

"Taifu, why are you here?"

The potter looked Ling Cao up and down, when this man was in Jinling, he was also a tough guy with a high body and good spirit, but now it has not been long apart, and he has been guarding in this town for less than half a month, and he actually ended up with a face full of vicissitudes, describing a withered appearance, and his armor was stained with blood, indescribably miserable and haggard.

The potter sighed and said, "How did you get mixed up like this?" ”

Ling Cao's eyes were red, and his tone was a little choked: "Taifu! The end will be a death penalty! Since the establishment of our Jinling Army, how have we suffered such great humiliation? It was the last general who disgraced the Jinling Army and lost face to Taifu! ”

The potter stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Otherwise, Yuan Shao is the number one prince in the world, he is different from the opponents we have encountered before, and hard battles are inevitable, I don't blame you...... Let's go, get in and talk! ”

After that, he walked into the county hall.

The potter saw Jiang Qin, and his arms, juniors, and legs all had knife wounds, and they were very serious, especially the blow on the leg, which was likely to leave sequelae.

Thanks to these years, Zhang Ji has provided many military doctors from the medical department college in Xuzhou, which greatly ensured the cure rate of Tao Shangjun's injuries and reduced the mortality rate of soldiers to a minimum.

The potter then checked the available generals in the city who were not injured...... It turned out to be less than 2,000, counting the 4,000 mountain barbarian battalions he brought, adding up to only 6,000 people who could be dispatched.

"How many soldiers and horses are there under Jiang Qi?"

Ling Cao didn't dare to hide it, and said, "There are about 10,000 of them, and there are many cavalry. ”

The potter raised his head and said lightly: "Ten thousand against six thousand? Enough, what fierce generals are under Jiang Qi's command? ”

Ling Cao sighed and said, "It's okay for others to say, that is, there is a Jizhou pioneer officer named Cheng Ping, who is extremely brave and good at fighting, and his means are very good!" Jiang Qin was injured by him. ”

Hearing this, the pottery merchant said: "Okay, then kill him first, improve the morale of the three armies, and then defeat Jiang Qi and save the decline of Licheng." ”
