Runan Yuan Shu, who failed to compete with Liu Biao for Nanyang and Cao Cao for Yanzhou, fled all the way to Huainan, actually stood up, respected in the south of Shouchun, and openly established himself as the emperor.

Yuan Shu dared to be the emperor, and he still had some dependence.

Originally, he only had a county in Jiujiang, and successively captured Guangling County and Lujiang County, and Sun Ce under his command led troops to cross the river to pacify Danyang, Wu County, and Huiji County, Xuzhou Lu Bu was its ally, and Runan, Peijun and other places also responded to his heroism.

In the face of this extravagant and arrogant old friend of Luoyang, Cao Cao still felt quite tricky to deal with.

Huainan has a dense water network and a river that is even more moat-like, so rashly attacking with cavalry is afraid that it will be difficult to conquer in an eagerness, but will fall into the predicament of the labor army's expedition.

But Yuan Shu is indispensable, if Yuan Shu, who is called the emperor, is allowed to sit in the southeast, then the careerists in the world who think that they have a little strength will follow suit, and when the time comes, the people who call the king and the emperor do not know how many, then the Xu Du Hanting, which he painstakingly managed, will no longer lose all the advantages of "name and instrument".

The upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.

At present, Cao Cao can only adopt the strategy of cutting down relations against Yuan Shu. Lü Bu of Xuzhou and Sun Ce of Jiangdong became the targets of the Xudu court, and Cao Cao secretly sent envoys to use the official positions of the imperial court in exchange for trying to make Lü Bu and Sun Ce and Yuan Shu turn against each other and join the camp of the rebellious king.

In contrast, the defection of Lu Yi and the bitterness between Sanhe and Hebei were not so important to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao did not want to offend Yuan Shao, who was still an ally, nor did he want to break his face with Yan Xing, who was a close friend in private, so he only symbolically asked the imperial court to send an edict to Hanoi to announce the edict of the Son of Heaven to both sides to dissuade the great battle in Hanoi.

As for the suggestion vaguely mentioned by Yuan Shao's envoy that the two families send troops to attack Yan Xing and divide the land of the Three Rivers equally, Cao Cao, who was obsessed with the fire, politely rejected it on the spot on the grounds that Nanyang was undecided and that Yuan Shu was being defeated.

Cao Cao's reason was awe-inspiring, and Yuan Shao's envoy, who couldn't find fault, could only give up, so he took Cao Cao's reply and set off to return to Yecheng.

Yuan Shao of Yecheng learned of Cao Cao's reply and the court only sent a mediator, and he was angry in his chest, although it was not good to send Cao Cao to reprimand Cao Cao, who was righteous and righteous, but he also secretly scolded Cao Cao in his heart for being ungrateful, and he sent troops several times to save him from danger.

Today, he dared to refuse to send troops, did he think that the Hebei army would not be able to sweep away Yan Xing in Sanhe without him Cao Apu and the declining imperial court?

Yuan Shao, who was angry in his heart, wanted to plan a large-scale attack on Sanhe again, and then turned around and turned to beat Cao Cao, and his Tian Feng, Xin Ping and others were worried that Yuan Shao would "raise troops because of anger", ignoring the fact that the people of Hebei were unsettled and the civil strife was not settled, so they repeatedly admonished Yuan Shao, advising Yuan Shao to first appease the hearts of the people and eliminate Gongsun Zhan, and then it was not too late to attack Yan Xing in Sanhe.

Just when Yuan Shao was struggling with whether to immediately conquer Sanhe, a new Yuyu urgent report came from the rivers where the soldiers were still fighting.

Since the Battle of Changshan, the Montenegrin thieves who had disappeared for a long time revived, and the Black Mountain thieves' Qu Shuai Zhang Yan led his troops to make a comeback, echoing with Gongsun Zhan, who had recently repeatedly sent troops to attack Hebei cities, and set off waves one after another in Hejian, Changshan, Zhongshan, Zhuojun, Daijun and other places, and there were faint signs of cutting off Ji and Secluded.

Yuan Xi of Youzhou is not a general, and he cannot control the unruly Wuhuan cavalry, so he has to ask Yecheng for help, hoping that Yuan Shao will send more troops and horses to Hejian and Zhongshan and other places to quell the wars caused by Gongsun Chan and Montenegro thieves as soon as possible.

For this reason, Yuan Shao urgently mobilized Gao Lan's army to the north for reinforcements, which temporarily quelled the strong intention to crusade against Sanhe.

···

The Hebei army decided to turn around and head north, and the generals of Chaoge did not dare to rush into Gongxian and Jixian, and the two armies of Sanhe and Hebei confronted each other from afar, allowing the court's confidants to run back and forth, and mediated the Hanoi war with a weak heart.

The soldiers and horses of Hanoi, who successfully rescued Lu Yi and captured Gongxian and Ji County, took advantage of this gap to continuously strengthen the city defenses, build beacons, and began to build and consolidate a new defense line for the confrontation between the east and the west.

Gongxian Barracks, in this place where Lu Yi used to garrison the army, Yan Xing also had the first meeting with Lu Yi, who had recovered physically and mentally.

"The general of the defeated army, see the prince!"

Lu Yi entered the tent alone, and when he entered the tent, in the face of Yan Xing's personal guards who asked to untie his sword, Lu Yi paused slightly, and handed over his sword without hesitation, and as soon as they met, he quickly greeted him with a big bow.

Yan Xing was not too surprised by Lu Yi's humble attitude, he stepped forward with a smile and helped Lu Yi up, and said with a smile while inviting Lu Yi to take a seat:

"General Koji is too modest, the general crisscrosses the north and south, with only 2,000 soldiers, resisting tens of thousands of troops in Hebei, turning to thousands of miles, winning many battles, occasionally small setbacks, and non-war crimes. Lone and the general are both cool people, and they have long heard the name of the general's good war, and they have long wanted to ask the general for the art of war! ”

"How dare a defeated general speak out. Even if he has a little brave reputation, but in front of the princes who have repeatedly broken strong enemies and shocked Kansai, how dare they talk about military affairs. ”

The face of Lu Yi, who got up and followed the seat, was full of humility, where was there still the appearance of pride in the past.

Seeing that Lu Yi, who had escaped with his life and had just arrived, was deliberately hiding his clumsiness, Yan Xing knew it in his heart, and he did not blame it, but said with a smile:

"Although Lone said that he broke Li Dao, Han Sui and other strong enemies in the Kansai region, but in the Kanto, he was often forced by Yuan Shao in Hebei, the general was originally a general in Hebei, and he knew the reality in the army.

Lu Yi saw Yan Xing humbly asking for advice, he calmed down in the past few days, and also figured out the reason why Yan Xing saved himself, first, he wanted to break the overlord authority of "Yuan Shao's invincible", second, he wanted to set up a statue of the "God of War" who defeated the generals of Hebei, and third, he wanted to learn the specific and detailed enemy situation from the mouth of his Hebei general.

It is necessary to hide oneself moderately, but it is also impossible to shelter and reuse a useless waste.

Lu Yi thought for a while, and slowly spoke:

"If the people of Hebei are prosperous, and the soldiers and food are abundant, if there is enough time to prepare before the war, with the foundation of Hebei, plus the three prefectures of You, He, and Qingdao, it is completely possible to mobilize more than 100,000 or 200,000 cavalry troops to participate in the war, and the rear can also recruit more than 300,000 people to transport military supplies, and provide more than 100,000 troops with grain and grass for three years of fighting."

Hearing about Yuan Shao's true strength from the mouth of Lu Yi, the Hebei general, Yan Xing, who was calm before, was also slightly moved on his face at this time.

With his current strength, if he dispatches 100,000 troops to fight at one time, after a long time, theoretically the logistics will be unable to turnover, and he can only recruit a large number of old and weak women to transport grain and grass and military supplies, and if these 100,000 troops fight for more than a year, the army that consumes a lot of grain and grass every day and eats empty warehouses will automatically fall into a situation of disintegration.

In contrast, Yuan Shao of Hebei is like a huge giant elephant, he seems to be unable to deal with the small force of soldiers and horses who are familiar with the virtual and real, and flexibly interspersed, and also let the Hanoi soldiers and horses who take advantage of the situation take advantage.

But if he is allowed to ease up and concentrate all his strength to deal with Sanhe, he will not have a decisive battle with the army, but only need to press the border with heavy troops, and confront Yan Xing's soldiers and horses with huge consumption, only one year old, Yan Xing will be forced to abandon Sanhe and turn to Guanzhong to defend because of lack of food and grass and other rear reasons.

Of course, in troubled times, there will never be an equal game.

Yan Xing would also continue to seek to fight against Hebei under unfair circumstances to Yuan Shao, and this kind of adept use of the situation and subjectively create an unequal relationship in his favor was itself part of a military strategy.

"So it seems that the resurgence of the Gongsun Chan and the Montenegrin Army rebellion will not last long?"

Yan Xing looked at Lu Yi and asked slowly.

"Indeed." Koji nodded and continued:

"With the strength of Hebei at this time, as long as Yuan Shao is freed up and goes all out to deal with Gongsun Chan and the Black Mountain Army, within a year old, Gongsun Chan will perish, and Zhang Yan can only retract back to hide in the Taihang Mountains, if he is not careful, he will be cut off by the same party and sent to Yecheng to ask for merit and reward."

"That means that in less than two or three years, Hebei will be able to mobilize more than 100,000 troops to attack the land of Sanhe in an all-round way?"

"That's right, unless Yuan Shao dies suddenly, with the grudge and distance between Sanhe and Hebei, he will destroy Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan, and after solving his worries, Yecheng will definitely raise a large army and kill Sanhe on a large scale."

Speaking of this, Lu Yi also stopped, and a strange pleasure rose in his heart.

If he could attack Yecheng and kill Yuan Shao that day, then Yan Xing might face a leaderless and disintegrated Hebei.

It's a pity that Yan Xing didn't believe that he could attack Yecheng, and he didn't want to risk sending a large army to fight for others, so he failed, and Yan Xing had to face a still powerful Yuan Shao.

Yan Xing seemed to see Lu Yi's thoughts, he smiled, in fact, even if he sent troops to attack Hebei, he would not let Yuan Shao of Yecheng show any fatal flaws in the face of Lu Yi's small army, as long as Yuan Shao is still there, and the hearts of the people in Yecheng are still there, it is not something that just one or two thousand light soldiers can capture.

It's just that the fallen Koji is still unwilling to accept the reality of failure.

Seeing that Yan Xing's face was not melancholy, but showed a meaningful smile, Lu Yi's heart moved, and he said again:

"Moreover, in order to deal with the Knights of the Three Rivers and the Qin Hu soldiers of Guanlong, Hebei is also constantly recruiting the Wuhuan Turquoise cavalry of the three counties and training cavalry on a large scale, including armored cavalry with the same armor and horse harness armor as the Sanhe people!"
