Liu Yi's army entered Jizhou, Zhang He led the Huwei battalion to attack Anxian for the first time, after nearly three days and nights of fighting, after paying more than 10,000 casualties, finally succeeded in occupying Anxian, the defender Lu Weihuang and eight thousand defenders almost did not survive, the city was also burned by the defenders at the last moment, Zhang He entered the city useless and still outside the city, and sent a fast horse to fly the battle report to Liu Yi's hands.

Liu Yi and several military divisions followed Gao Shun's Liaodong battalion along the eastern front to kill Nanpi, which was also a strategy set before the war, and the marching speed of the soldiers after the dispatch was controlled within a cautious range, so as to wait for the results of the Huwei camp in Anxian County, and when the fast horse flew to the time when the army was still one hundred and twenty miles away from Nanpi, and the road was not blocked by any Jizhou army.

In the war of this era, communication has always been a great problem, Liu Yi and several military divisions are racking their brains for this, especially this expedition to Youzhou dispatched more than 300,000 horses, such a large-scale battle is also the first time for Liu Yi, the contact between the battalions is the most important, so before the war, everyone has discussed to disperse the 1,000 cavalry of the pro-guard battalion to the various departments, and the communication between them will be handed over to them to complete, so that the responsibilities can be clarified, and the security of information transmission can also be ensured! At this time, in the territory of Jizhou, there were countless knights of the personal guard battalion between the various battalions that had begun to march together, and the details of the march were gathered one by one to the place where the main public army division was.

"Lu Weihuang, looking at Jun Yi's battle report, this person's ability to defend the city is still above Han Meng, and his loyalty and righteousness will not be lost, but Yuan Benchu, such a general, is also willing to throw it in Anxian? What a pity! Liu Yi sat in the middle of the big tent, and sighed after reading the battle report, Lu Weihuang was undoubtedly another accident for him, who would have thought that an unknown person in the history books could do this? As for the Tiger Guard Battalion capturing Anxian on time, he was not surprised, General Zhang Hecai and the elite soldiers should have done this.

"The lord's love for talents has never stopped, and Lu Weihuang is indeed a loyal and brave man, but Yuan Benchu's trick of breaking the wrist of a strong man is extremely useful, and the lord must not ignore it." Jia Xu said on the side, unlike Liu Yi's sigh, he was quite appreciative of Yuan Shao's behavior of treating Anxian County as an outcast.

What does Wen He's words mean? Let's elaborate. Liu Yi asked when he heard this, in fact, he also had a faint guess about Yuan Shao's intentions in his heart, and asked Jia Xu also had his own thoughts, as a superior person, it is necessary to let his subordinates feel that value, which is extremely important to Liu Yi, who is becoming more and more powerful, and this is also the so-called way to control the subordinates, which is quite mysterious.

"The lord sent troops this time in the name of Yuan Shao's disrespect for the Son of Heaven, and the facts are also true, several times and three times called but always reported the illness, the impact of this move on the army may be smaller, but among its subordinate officials at all levels, there are already quite a few complaints, now the loss of Yi'an County and Lu Weihuang's martyrdom with the city can stimulate the morale of the three armies, and the other can also be the heart of the same hatred of the enemy in Jizhou, isn't it a two-pronged strategy? The military family does everything to the extreme, where the benefits are, when it is abandoned, it must be abandoned, and Yuan Benchu's decision this time is also decisive. Jia Xu said eloquently.

"What a poisoner?" Liu Yi sighed in his heart when he heard this, remembering that when he went to Sizhou, Jia Xu opened the killing ring in Beijing, and he also took all the responsibility on himself, looking at what he said today, if he needs to, I am afraid that he can even be abandoned as a chess piece, so where is Jia Wenhe, who is still the wise and wise self-protection in history? However, this kind of strategist is what Liu Yi needs, and his words are also the most reasonable soldiers, it seems that he needs more experience in this aspect, even if he can roughly see Yuan Shao's intentions, he will not use such a strategy!

"Wenhe's words are yes, but everything is two-sided, Yuan Jungu can use this to win people's hearts, our army can have high morale, Anxian County is strong, and the defenders are elite, but they are still being taken down by our army for three days, according to this, what should happen to Nanpi Liyang?" Guo Jia took over and said.

"Feng Xiao's words are extreme, Jun Yi this battle greatly increased the prestige of our army, when the battalions boasted, Wen He Zhiyi also knew that since Luoyang has not underestimated the original brother, you and quickly return to the general Zhang, after the Tiger Guard battalion rested, the army Qi to the south of the skin." Liu Yi said out loud, now is not the time to sigh, no matter how Anxian conquers it, it can greatly boost the morale of the army, at this time, the messenger came to the camp to listen to the order after a short rest, and Lang Sheng ordered him to return to Anxian County as soon as possible to convey the military order.

"You give this bag to General Zhang, go and bring a team of cavalry guards this time, and report back immediately after the military order arrives." At this time, Fang handed over the silk seal and the bag to the messenger soldiers, and at the time of the war, the military order was heavier than Mount Tai, so the guard battalion would also send a team of cavalry to escort it, so as to make sure that everything was perfect.

"No." The scouts who passed the message gave a salute after the results of the tips, and the military information transmission could not be delayed at all, and the cavalry of the personal guard battalion also underwent special training in this area during the training in Youzhou.

"Lord, General Taishi's Beiping battalion of 50,000 horses will arrive in the west of Nanpi City tomorrow, at this time the Yuan army has not been much moved, it seems that Tian Yuanhao's perseverance is very valued by Yuan Shao this time, even so, I can concentrate on the Liaodong battalion, the Beiping battalion and the tiger guard battalion of Jun Yi to attack Nanpi, Yuan Tan's son can not be compared with his father, once the situation is critical, he will be difficult to calm down." Xi Zhicai got up and came to the map of Nanpi City, and after looking at it for a while, he said to Liu Yi.

"Zhicai's argument is also, Tian Yuanhao uses a strong wall to clear the wilderness, according to the law of the city's stability, it is the best countermeasure, but Yuan Shao uses his strategy but is not a person, blindly cronyism is also the way to take trouble, if Liu is him, he will choose one of the two generals of Gaolan Juyi to Zhennanpi! However, although this Yuan Dagongzi is ambitious and talented, Nanpi has been operating for many years, and its strength is far away from Sheng'an County, and the grain is not the same, plus Yuan Tan's 50,000 soldiers are all the elite of Jizhou, if you want to make him anxious, you still need to carefully consider the method of attacking the city, Jing Fang, in your opinion, my three battalions of more than 100,000 troops gathered under Nanpi City, can this city be broken? Liu Yi heard the words and said, in the war of the cold weapon era, attacking the city is the most helpless choice, relying on the strong city if it is properly planned to one enemy ten is not necessarily a myth, Nanpi is a famous male city in Jizhou, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a lot of food in the city, and the difficulty may not work, even if Yuan Tan has no plan to make him anxious is not an easy thing.

In the past few days, Gao Shun even thought about the method of attacking the city in his mind during the march, and the map of Nanpi did not know how many times in his heart, carefully looking for the weaknesses of each city defense, and on that day he led Liu Yi's entire army of 80,000 elites to dare to promise that the lord would take the tiger prison guarded by Zhang Ji's 20,000 soldiers within ten days, which was almost unimaginable to others, but the course of the incident also proved that Jing Fang's words were not nonsense, and the name of being good at attacking fortifications was indeed worthy of the name.

But now in the face of Nanpi City, although the number of soldiers is nearly doubled, he does not dare to assert that from his point of view, Nanpi is indeed a Xiongcheng, and if the 50,000 elite soldiers under Yuan Tan are in his hands, I am afraid that the 200,000 enemy troops will also be regarded as nothing. This is not to say that the solidity of Nanpi City surpasses the strength of the world's Xiongguan Tiger Prison, but the magnanimity of this city is far better than it, and the longer the attack surface, the more disadvantageous it is for the besiegers, but the defenders can use the strong city walls as a cover, relying on the wide attack surface to give the enemy heavy damage, which is the most troublesome place.

"Lord, along the way all the way to think about the way to break the city, but also asked the love of Nanpi to the people under Guo Junshi, so far there is no good strategy, do not dare to answer the lord's question, wait for the Japanese soldiers to come to the city of Nanpi, Shun personally look at the city before it can be said, please the lord is not strange." Gao Shun is born to be cautious and calm character, if everything is not sure will not lie, the more the lord values his words, the more careful he must be, the reason why he dared to speak out to take the tiger prison and he once guarded this pass is not unrelated, for the besiegers, everything must indeed be concluded after the field investigation, and only through the actual test can he better grasp the advantages and disadvantages of the city defense of Nanpi!

"There is a way to use soldiers on the respectful side, this is the way of a general, how can Liu be strange? That being the case, he will camp here tonight, and tomorrow morning the troops will send Nanpi, come to the people, send the letter and Ziyi quickly, and tomorrow at noon he will set up a camp in the west of Nanpi City, and come to my account to discuss the law of breaking the city. Gao Shun's temperament Liu Yi will not know, but also very appreciative of it, what he wants is the generals this careful, immediately ordered the whole army to camp, and sent fast horses to pass Tai Shici overnight.
