0457: Parties contained
In the conference hall of Dongpingshu, Xun Chen, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, and Xu Yu expressed their own opinions, but basically, most of them agreed to go south to attack Qingzhou first, and it was not too late to turn back and crusade against Li Yi after defeating Liu Bei.
And in this regard, Yuan Shao was also very moved. After all, compared to Li Yi in the west, Liu Bei in the east seems to be better to fight no matter how you look at it. Although Liu Bei has also made many military exploits, he can only crusade against the Yellow Turban, where is like Li Yi, the Yellow Turban, Hu Man and Dong Zhuo He have all fought.
Although it can't be said that Yan Liang and the others also have the strength of Li Yi, since they can be sent to Jizhou by Li Yi, it can obviously explain some problems. Of course, the most important thing is that now there are troops of Gao Gan and Yuan Yi and others in Qingzhou, as long as he goes south to form an encirclement with them, how can Liu Bei be able to stop it? !
"Junxin! Let you be the county guard of Hejian County, Yuan Tu, you are the military advisor to assist Junxin, don't ask for anything else, just block that Gongsun Zhan! Yuan Shao looked at Lu Yi and said in a deep voice.
"Please rest assured!" Koji Yi opened his mouth to answer, but there was not much respect in his tone.
In this regard, Yuan Shao didn't seem to care, but turned his head to look at Xun Yu with a calm expression and said, "Wen Ruo, I know that you and that Li Yi are good friends, so I hope you can go to Dongjun and persuade Meng De to send troops to help me, I only need him to send troops to help me defend Wei County!" ”
"No." Xun Yu replied respectfully when he heard this.
After arranging everything, Yuan Shao left 20,000 horses and horses for Liyi, and led 60,000 troops south to Qingzhou. On the other side, Zhang Yan, who received letters from all sides, became extremely angry and helpless.
"What am this group of people when I?! Someone who follows their instructions?! Zhang Yan roared in a low voice.
Although the letters from Yan Liang, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others were very polite, Zhang Yan still felt their contempt for him from between the lines. Well...... Maybe it's because Zhang Yan is too inferior? Who knows? Anyway, in addition to being angry, Zhang Yan could only agree to Gongsun Zhan's request.
Although he was unwilling, Zhang Yan knew very well that if he didn't support, then once Qingzhou Liu Bei was defeated, he didn't know whether Li Yi would be driven back to Bingzhou, but he knew that he would definitely be in danger. But to support Liu Bei, he obviously couldn't do it, so he could only retreat and choose to send troops to help Gongsun Zhan, so could Yuan Shao still attack Qingzhou with peace of mind?
As for Yan Liang's side, Zhang Yancai didn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, he didn't want Yuan Shao to sit big, but he also didn't want Li Yi to completely occupy Zhao State and Wei County. If he could, he would like to see a balanced situation between the forces of all sides, so that he would be able to take the opportunity to expand his power.
Taiyuan Jinyang.
"Hehe, Bowu and Shanzhi did a good job! Especially Wenxin, he dared to sneak attack Yecheng! Li Yi looked at the battle report sent by Yan Liang and chuckled.
Li Yi basically expected their results, after all, with strong troops and top generals and military advisors, there was no reason why they couldn't win against each other. But obviously, the speed of Yan Liang and Tong Fei still surprised Li Yi.
"Yes, although it seems that there is a great chance of success, once something goes wrong, the five thousand troops that Wen Xinhe brought with him must stay in Yecheng." Guo Jia chuckled and praised.
After laughing for a while, Li Yi brought the topic back to business, "Let Zixin and Uncle Ya lead 10,000 people to Yecheng to support Wenxin, since they have taken Yecheng, there is no reason to send them back!" ”
Li Yi's attitude is very resolute, after all, no matter in his heart, or from the actual situation in all aspects, Yecheng is in Li Yi's hands, and there are too many things that can be provided to Li Yi.
"But Dong Zhuo's side ......," Guo Jia reminded with some concern.
Just after Tong Fei took Hanoi County, Dong Zhuo's side began to react, and Zuo Fengyi, the southern part of Hedong County, and Hongnong County all had news of the build-up of troops. Although there was no sign of sending troops, this kind of gathering of a large number of troops was enough to make Li Yi's side vigilant.
In fact, on the Hedong and Hanoi sides, Lu Bu and Tong Fei both sent more than a dozen horsemen to inquire about intelligence, and at the same time ordered all localities to strengthen vigilance to prevent Dong Zhuo from taking the opportunity to attack.
"It's just 10,000 people, and it's out of the way." Li Yi said lightly when he heard this, his tone was full of confidence.
Hearing this, Guo Jia didn't say much, after all, there were still 30,000 flying cavalry battalions and 10,000 trapped camps, as long as they didn't move, at most the garrison of the local city would become weaker. This situation is not a problem at all for today's merger states.
In addition to Li Yi, Yuan Shu in the south was also vigilant against Dong Zhuo's actions, after all, as long as Dong Zhuo went out of the martial arts, he could directly attack Nanyang. If it was before, Yuan Shu naturally wouldn't care, but now, Yuan Shu didn't want Dong Zhuo to cause him trouble, because he already felt that it was enough trouble.
"Liu Biao! Tao Qian! One day, I'll tear you to pieces! Yuan Shu kept cursing, in fact, since he returned from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, Yuan Shu cursed Tao Qian and Liu Biao almost every day, as if he couldn't express his anger at these two people if he didn't do so.
But it's no wonder, because it was because of the actions of the two of them that Yuan Shu had to withdraw his troops, and it also gave those forces in Yanzhou who supported Yuan Shao the opportunity to help Yuan Shao attack Liu Bei in Qingzhou.
You must know that in Yuan Shu's opinion, as long as he sends troops to Yanzhou, even if he doesn't fight them, just drags them down, it won't be long before Jizhou will be divided by Li Yi and others, and Yuan Shao, even if he doesn't die, will become a lost dog. At that time, the forces that were originally attached to Yuan Shao will naturally be dependent on him instead.
But now, Zang Ba under Tao Qian led an army of 30,000 Chen soldiers and Peng Chengguo, and Jiangxia County under Liu Biao guarded Huang Zu with 30,000 troops, taking advantage of Yuan Shu's time in Yuzhou to directly capture the bridgehead Xinxi City between Yuzhou and Jiangxia. Although he did not attack after Yuan Shu led his army back, it was obvious that this situation made Yuan Shu have to watch out for enemies on both sides.
And although the forces on the Yanzhou side are supporting Jizhou at this time, who knows if they will go south again?
Of course, the most headache for Yuan Shu is Nanyang's side, Cai Mao led an army of 60,000 to attack Deng County, if it wasn't for Sun Jian's quick reaction to help, I'm afraid Cai Mao would have led the army to attack Nanyang.
If Dong Zhuo suddenly came to intervene at this time and went out of Wuguan to attack Nanyang, then Yuan Shu didn't know what to do. Although the probability of Dong Zhuo interfering is not great, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, who knows if Dong Zhuo will suddenly go crazy?
"My lord, my subordinates think that we should turn defense into offense, and with the strength of Yuzhou, even if our army takes the initiative to attack Jiangxia, there will be no problems." Yang Hong and Yan Xiang suggested at the same time.
It's just that Yuan Shu didn't agree to this, because he didn't want to take risks too much.
