Just when the whole world thought that the Bohai Navy was ready to take Xuzhou in one fell swoop, the Bohai Navy unexpectedly shrank its forces, and even did not hesitate to give up the two counties of Donghai and Langxie that had been placed in the palm of its hand.

At the junction of the Bohai Navy and the Gongsun Zhan forces, more than 1,000 cavalrymen known as the White Horse Righteous Servants quietly sneaked across the border at night and advanced towards the hinterland of the Bohai Navy, but soon encountered an ambush in a dangerous mountain and forest area, and did not even see the appearance of the enemy clearly, so they were dizzy by a rain of arrows, leaving more than 100 corpses and forced to retreat.

In this regard, Gongsun Zhan's side immediately sent a letter of condemnation, saying that the Youzhou Army and the Bohai Navy have always had a good relationship, and this time the troops were spontaneously organized by some veterans of the Northern Army, but they were expelled by hostile forces, demanding an explanation and compensation for the losses. At the same time, he stressed that it was precisely because of the fierce fighting in Xuzhou and the emptiness of troops in the Bohai Sea that bandits were rampant, and in order to avoid the recurrence of attacks by friendly troops, he had urgently dispatched 3,000 of the most elite cavalry to strengthen this front-line defense and suppress bandits. After Gongsun Chan received Gao Shun's letter, the voice of condemnation immediately stopped abruptly.

In Jizhou, Yuan Shaojun's army of about 15,000 troops was marching along the line of Xiangguo and Julu to the Qinghe of the Bohai naval force, when it was suddenly attacked and harassed by the cavalry of the Southern Huns halfway. Without waiting for Yuan Shao to mobilize troops to help the battle, Zhang Yan's army in the west suddenly attacked, and the troops quickly broke into Wei County, connecting several county seats, which overwhelmed Yuan Shao. The Baibo Army, which Yuan Shao cited as foreign aid, was also besieged by Yang Feng, Baique, and Baihuan of the Black Mountain Army.

However, the army of Zhou Ang, the assassin of Yuzhou who advanced eastward, marched to Xiao County, but was fiercely attacked by Sun Cejun, who played the banner of "justifying the name of his father", and suffered heavy losses. The reason why Sun Cejun launched the attack was very simple, there was only one assassin in Yuzhou, and that was the late Sun Wentai. Although Sun Wentai died, Nan Ying, the uncle of the Han Emperor, had already asked for a performance, and his son Sun Ce succeeded him as the assassin of Yuzhou.

In the northwest, Lü Bu suddenly announced that he had joined forces with Hanzhong Taishou Wang Lei, and jointly sent troops to attack Guo Yan's army, and Zhang Ji, who was entrenched in the southeast of Chang'an, heard the news and sent troops to aid Guo Yan, but was blocked by Zhang Liao, the general of the Bingzhou army, and the war was deadlocked.

Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, heard that Hanzhong was empty, and lost no time in sending troops to attack, but he immediately resisted for Bajun Taishou Sugu, Wudou Mijiao Zhang Lu and Northwest Zhuqiang, and resisted at the dangerous passes, and it was difficult to advance at all.

As the initiator, the Bohai Navy was of course not idle, they gave up the East China Sea and Langxie counties on the surface, but in fact they were not without gains. Before retreating, they took advantage of the skyrocketing popularity of the Bohai Navy and the declining reputation of Tao Qian to launch a powerful political offensive, widely publicizing Tao Qian's terrorist remarks that Tao Qian was going to settle accounts after the autumn in the two counties, and taking the opportunity to issue a new policy of reducing taxes in the entire Bohai Sea within three years, which attracted the people of the two counties to ask to take refuge in Qingzhou with the army. Thousands of four-wheeled chariots exerted their incomparably powerful transport capacity, transporting tens of thousands of people into Qingzhou in two days and two nights, and some village pavilions were emptied. At the same time, the Bohai Navy once again confiscated a number of local heroes who were known to have public grievances, and took away all their wealth, grain and rice, making a lot of money.

Not only that, but the Bohai Navy even had the spare strength to send an elite light cavalry to travel hundreds of miles over a long distance, and attacked Yuan Shu's army at night, and killed them to the ground.

As the saying goes, the whole body is moved, and for a time, most of China is in one piece, and war is everywhere. Although on the bright side, the Bohai Navy is still a faction that resists the crowd and is at ease, but with the appearance of the dagger, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, and even Liu Yan and Li Dao Guo Yan and other generations, have declared war on the Southern Eagle forces openly or covertly, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, a huge Southern Eagle encirclement network has been formed, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan and others are just temporary help, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others are still in the wait-and-see and secretly expand their power. The one who is really on the side of Nanying is just Sun Ce, who is still not in the climate.

So far, a well-known commentator has pointed out: Although the Bohai Navy is strong, the best in the world, and occupies the advantage of orthodoxy, there are too many enemies, and no effort is spared to cut off the local heroes, causing everyone in the world to endanger themselves, and its momentum has become the end of a strong crossbow, and the day of defeat is not far away. As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately recognized by the majority of people.

No one knew that just when everyone in the world was pessimistic about the prospects of the Bohai Navy, the Bohai Navy, which had returned to its division in a hurry, had already begun to secretly reorganize its army and reassemble an army of nearly 20,000 people.

The Battle of Xuzhou did not cause any losses to the Bohai Navy, on the contrary, in this battle, part of the new army has been tempered in the grinding gravel, and has grown into qualified soldiers, and the combat strength of the whole army has increased instead of decreasing. At the same time, the Tao Qian group, which was ambitious in Qingzhou, was hit hard, and it was difficult to recover even its vitality in the short term, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the Bohai Navy. The most critical point is that Li Jin has completely cleared Qingzhou, and even defeated Kong Rong, who was in the same bed and had different dreams, consolidated the situation in Qingzhou, and improved his defense day by day, and was no longer afraid of any small enemy attack. It can be said that although the Battle of Xuzhou abandoned the two counties that had been occupied, it eliminated some hidden dangers, frustrated the covetousness of a few people, and obtained valuable population and money and food, and the rapid return of the Bohai Navy made the open five fingers clenched into a fist again, and had the ability to launch a large-scale battle in other directions.

On the banks of the galloping and roaring Yellow River, Nanying watched the teams of eagle divisions quickly board the ships and the warships sail offshore, with a proud smile on his lips...... By the time of the tenth month, he had already led the army to cross the Yellow River three times, using his powerful ability to maneuver at high speed to play countless enemies in the palm of his hand, completely losing the correct judgment of his true strategic intentions. At present, the situation in Xuzhou has been chaotic, and the princes of all walks of life have also shown their fangs, but he retreated bravely and returned to the north bank of the Yellow River, in order to launch a fatal blow to the Yuan Shao group. When he crossed the Yellow River for the fourth time, it was the time to truly recover Xuzhou.

The original plan for Xuzhou was not only a long-distance expedition with free advance and retreat, but also a bold test that was difficult to judge the truth of, and only when all the enemies took action, could their forces be seen at a glance. Especially Yuan Shao, he is his only rival in the world today. If the enemy does not move, it will be an excellent ending to sit back and watch the Bohai Navy annex Xuzhou, so that you can dominate the east and look at Jingyang. If it develops like this today, it can be a good strategy to lure the snake out of the hole. Because Yuan Shao had really already acted, he didn't even care about completely completing the deployment of troops, so he couldn't wait to march towards the Bohai Sea, just falling into the trap of Nanying...... Unless the 15,000 soldiers and horses met up with the 30,000 soldiers and horses on the defensive line, Gao Shun would not be in danger of losing the defense at all. And when these 15,000 soldiers and horses were advancing and retreating because of Zhang Yan's sudden attack behind him, it was a God-given opportunity for Nanying to surprise his troops and go up the Yellow River.

In the original plan, the 20,000 Eagle Division would land in the south of Wei County, defeat the 15,000 Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses marching slowly in one fell swoop, and then attack the 30,000 Yuan troops confronting Gao Shun from behind the Qinghe River. At this time, Nanying could use the threat of a great victory to force Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou, to connect the Qing and Yan lands south of the Yellow River, completely cut off the connection between Yuan Shao and Liu Biao and Zhou Ang, and even more to promote the wavering Montenegrin army to stand on their side. In this way, the reunification of the north is just around the corner, because Gongsun Chan simply does not have enough strategic depth, and once the Bohai Navy launches a three-sided offensive from the west and south directions on land and from the sea, he can resist for a month and be ranked among the famous generals of the ages. The last force in the north besides Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is Liu Yu, who is a staunch royalist and has no ambitions, and can easily be dealt with with just a glass of wine and military power. Oh, by the way, there is also a Gongsun Du in Liaodong, but unfortunately there is no sense of existence at all in Nanying's heart, just a small character who can be swept away with his hands free.

If the north is peaceful, it can be reorganized for three years, and at least 100,000 to 120,000 soldiers and horses can be mobilized to the south, first take Yuzhou, and then capture Sanfu, complete the feat of meeting the east and west, and from then on surrender to Liu Yan in the west, reject Han Ma in the north, and capture Liu Biao in the south...... Maybe Liu Biao couldn't wait for that day to be killed by Sun Ce. And after that...... There is no rival north of the Yangtze River, and even if Sun Ce has unified the south, with the close relationship between the two, it is very likely that they will surrender without a fight.

Thinking of this, Nanying's heart was on fire. He had never imagined that the victory of unifying the world would one day be so close to him. He only had to wait for the last opportunity now, and that was the movement of Gongsun Zhan's troops. If Gongsun Chan suddenly made a move when he was dealing with Yuan Shao with all his might, Gao Shun would have a hard time, but it didn't matter, Gao Shun only had to hold on for twenty days, and Li Jin's reinforcements from Qingzhou would die on top of it, making it difficult for Gongsun Chan to cross the Lei Chi by half a step.

"General!" Gao Feng, who was in the dust, appeared behind Nan Ying, and he said with a little excitement: "Gongsun Zhan's troop intelligence is here!" ”

"Oh? Say it! Nanying turned around like a whirlwind, but saw Xun You standing behind Gao Feng with a blank face, and couldn't help but be stunned. Since this Xun Gongda was forced to join the Bohai Navy that day, he can be said to have unreserved trust in him, except for the "Diao Chan Operation" and the Hanzhong Eagle's Nest, all confidential information is fully open to him, and the power enjoyed by the chief staff officer is no different, but this person is always silent, and he has not offered a single policy so far.

"Yes! Checkmate! Gao Feng grinned: "Gongsun Chan not only did not send additional troops to the front line, but secretly drew troops from the front line to gather north, and now the troops on the defense line are less than fifteen thousand!" ”

"Assemble north?" Nan Ying's body was shocked, and he blurted out: "He's going to do something to Liu Yu!" ”

"Not bad!" Gao Feng smiled and said: "Before, we still had suspicions that his Gongsun Zhan had eaten the heart of a bear and dared to send only a thousand white horse servants to invade our realm...... Now it seems that it is simply a sound to cover up. His real purpose is to quickly eliminate Liu Yu without arousing the vigilance of our army, so as to avoid worries. ”

"It's a pity that Liu Yu ......" Nan Ying sighed: "Go and pass the order!" The whole army acted according to the original plan, all boarded the ship, and went straight to Wei County! ”

"Wait! This is not a good plan! A sudden shout made the two of them look sideways together.

"Oh! Does Gongda still have the icing on the cake? Nanying was stunned, and spread his hands to Xun You and said: "The strategy has been agreed, if Gongda does not make major adjustments, of course there will be no disallowing!" ”

"General!" Xun You's face flashed with a look of struggle, and he suddenly fell to the ground: "You beg the general, give up the conquest of Yuan Shao, and the whole army will be rerouted and go straight to Zhuoxian!" ”

"What do you say? Attack Zhuoxian! Nan Ying was stunned for a while, and his face suddenly turned cold: "Gongda, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What you mean is that you won't attack Yuan Shao for the time being, but go to rescue Liu Yu!" Xun You seemed to have made up his mind, and looked back at Nanying without giving an inch: "That's what it means!" ”

"Okay, you Xun You!" Before Nan Ying could speak, Gao Feng was already angry and laughed: "How much effort did it take us to get such a thousand-year opportunity that can defeat Yuan Shao, but you asked us to temporarily change our plan to save Liu Yu?" I have heard that your Xun family has a close relationship with Yuan Shao, and Xun Shuang is a loyal lackey of the Heavenly Stems Branch, and today he has really revealed his true purpose! ”

"Someone!" He turned around and shouted, "Tie up this traitor to me!" (To be continued.) )
