Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Wei Yan say?

He changed the topic and said, "Ju Yi is Yuan Shao's general. He was stationed in the camp and fought to the death. We can conquer the big camp though. But I'm afraid it will take some time. I wonder if the mistress has a good plan? ”

"Well, that's a good question."

Fan Lihua took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Wei Yan: "You send someone to send this letter to Gan Ning." Let him lead all his soldiers and horses to help in the battle. I want to conquer Yuan Shao's grain and grass camp in the shortest possible time. ”

"Yes."

Wei Yan took the letter.

But he was puzzled in his heart: "Didn't the master mother want to lure Yuan Shao to help?" Why was he in a hurry to capture Yuan Shao's grain and grass camp? ”

"Guess what?"

"Uh... The last general will be dull, and he still hopes that the master's mother will teach him. ”

Wei Yan was a little speechless.

This is headless and brainless, how can he guess?

Mu Guiying walked over and said, "We've been attacking Juyi for four days, right?" Yuan Shao has not returned to help, which shows that he has given up. Instead of besieging but not attacking and missing the opportunity, it is better to cut off Yuan Shao's grain route first. ”

"Sister Mu said yes. It's all my lack of consideration. Didn't expect... Yuan Shao really dared to ignore the grain and grass camp in Beihai. This is also his own death, so we are welcome. ”

Wei Yan's eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy: "So... Bai Qi is in Linlang County, is it impossible to make contributions? ”

He said it in his heart.

Fan Lihua and Mu Guiying didn't know.

Wei Yan clenched his fists and replied: "The last general immediately sent someone to send the letter to Gan Ning and asked him to come to help in the battle." ”

"Hmm."

Bai Qi waited in Linlang County for five days.

At dawn on the sixth day, I saw 20,000 foot soldiers passing under the bamboo mountain.

Bai Qi thought about it for a long time, and finally did not let go of Yuan Jun this way. First, use a thousand artillery pieces to blow up the boulders on the mountain. The boulder rolled down, blocking the road, and then shot it with a bow and arrow.

20,000 reinforcements, none of them survived!

value at this time.

Gan Ning also received a letter from Fan Lihua.

He now has 80,000 heavy troops in his hands (another 30,000 have been transferred from Jiaozhou), and he has occupied Donglai County, Le'an State, and Qi State in the north of Qingzhou. and Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, confronted in Jinan.

Even if Fan Lihua didn't intervene, he would be able to conquer Qingzhou sooner or later.

After reading Fan Lihua's letter, Gan Ning hesitated: "The master mother asked me to lead all the soldiers and horses to Beihai to help in the war." What do you think? ”

There were two rows of generals standing in the tent.

Admiral Wang Fang said: "We finally defeated three counties, and suppressed Yuan Tan to the death. When we defeated Yuan Tan, the entire Qingzhou was won. The mistress ordered us to go to help in the war at this time, wasn't she blindly commanding? ”

"Shut up!"

Gan Ning's face sank, and he reprimanded: "You dare to say this? ”

"The last will be a rectum, and he won't say anything nice..."

"Say?!"

Gan Ning scolded, put away the letter, and said, "The master mother asked me to go to Beihai to help in the war, and I have her own reasons. As a courtier, I can just do what I am told, how can I question it? ”

Wang Fang said: "The general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside." We cannot afford to give up the good things we are doing for the sake of a letter. The last general suggested that the governor should reject the mistress. Let's just say that he is at war with Yuan Tan, and he can't withdraw from the battle for the time being. ”

In fact, Gan Ning has the right to refuse.

Fan Lihua is the governor of Xuzhou. He was the governor of Jiaozhou. The official positions are equal, and there is no explicit order from the Military Aircraft Department. Even if she refused, Fan Lihua couldn't say why.

It's just that Gan Ning thinks about things more comprehensively than Wang Fang.

Thinking of Fan Lihua's identity, Gan Ning shook his head and said, "No." My position in the court is different from yours. I had a heavy army in my hands, and I captured three counties in Qingzhou one after another. If you reject the mistress, you will be suspicious. ”

"Report..."

Just when Gan Ning secretly decided to go to Beihai to help in the war.

The soldier came to report: "Yuan Tan's 50,000 troops (lost some in the battle with Gan Ning, but there are supplies from county soldiers), have evacuated Jinan Dongpingling. Move north. ”

"To the north? Yuan Tan is also going to Beihai? ”

Gan Ning took out the map in surprise.

After a while, he smiled and said: "The master mother said in the letter that she has surrounded Yuan Shao's grain and grass camp. Yuan Tan went to Beihai to help in the war. We must quickly gather troops and horses to stop Yuan Tan. Oh no... It's to destroy him completely! ”

Wang Fang hugged his fists and said: "If Yuan Tan also wants to go to Beihai, then there is nothing to worry about." The previously captured cities only need to leave a small number of troops to garrison, and they will not be counterattacked by the enemy. ”

"Hmm."

Gan Ning raised his head and said, "Wang Fang led 10,000 troops and garrisoned the Qi country. Dong Fu led 10,000 troops and stationed in Le'an. Zhou Zhi led 10,000 troops and garrisoned Donglai. The rest of the departments hunted down Yuan Tan with me. Destroy him before he enters the North Sea. ”

"No."

The congregation will go their separate ways.

Yuan Tan was able to stalemate with Gan Ning for so long, all because of the advantage of geographical advantages. Jinan Dongpingling is a fortified city, which cannot be conquered without heavy troops. Gan Ning is only a few tens of thousands of sailors, how can he win?

And if Yuan Tan wants to recover Qingzhou, it is impossible.

As a result, the two sides are at an impasse...

But now, Yuan Tan has left Dongpingling, which is equivalent to losing all advantages. The fighter plane that Gan Ning was looking for had arrived, and even if there was no letter from Fan Lihua, he would never let it go.

Late October.

Gan Ning led an army of 40,000 sailors and fought with Yuan Tan on the border of the Beihai Sea.

The two sides fought for a day.

Yuan Tan's 50,000 troops were mostly county soldiers who were later supplied, and their combat effectiveness was limited. It was another hurried battle, and he was defeated by Gan Ning. There were only more than 5,000 people left, and they retreated to Dongpingling.

Gan Ning should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue and completely exterminate Yuan Tan.

However, he did not want to disobey Fan Lihua's order, so he left 10,000 soldiers and handed them over to Wang Fang, who was stationed in Qi State, and ordered Wang Fang to surround Dongping Tomb. When he returns from Beihai, he will conquer Yuan Tan again.

Gan Ning still has about 20,000 troops left, and he went to Beihai to help in the war.

It's just that...

He hurried and hurried, but still didn't catch up with the attack on Juyi.

Because Bai Qi came back to help!

Although Bai Qi is small, he has a lot of eyes. He knew that Yuan Shao would not rush to the aid of Beihai, and it would be useless to wait any longer. Therefore, a suspicious army was left behind and set up a formation in Linlang County. He personally led 30,000 main forces to return to Beihai.

Fan Lihua's troops increased greatly, and it only took one day to conquer the enemy village.

Ju Yi was beheaded by Wei Yan!

More than 20,000 soldiers of the Yuan army were taken prisoner.

Gan Ning understood what happened and was a little dissatisfied. But I didn't dare to say it explicitly. When Fan Lihua asked about the war in Qingzhou. Gan Ning replied: "Yuan Tan's 50,000 army has been wiped out by the last general. Dongpingling is also about to be conquered by me. I have 80,000 Jiaozhou troops and have traveled thousands of miles. finally lived up to the trust of the lord, but it's a pity, it looks like it's about to make a contribution, but... ”

He didn't say anything more.

Fan Lihua is a smart person, and when she heard it, she knew what Gan Ning meant.

Fan Lihua hugged her fists and said, "General Gan is not strange. I didn't think about it and didn't expect your situation there to be better than I thought. If I knew this was the case, why should I invite you here? I am here... I make amends to you. ”

"How dare the last general."

Gan Ning abides by the duties of a courtier, how dare he accept Fan Lihua's gift.

He reached out to help Fan Lihua, stretched out halfway and retracted back: "Master, please get up." I just didn't want to be reconciled and missed the best opportunity to exterminate Yuan Tan. But he couldn't escape. When I go back, I will be able to conquer Dongpingling. Yuan Shao's seven counties in Qingzhou will be the lord's sooner or later. ”
