Chapter 353: Two-Front Strategy (5)

Without the containment and obstruction of Xiahou Yuan's department, Ji Lingjun could easily take the small Chen County, and when Yuan Shu's military order arrived at Ji Ling's camp, Ji Lingjun had already rushed to Chen County.

The messenger hurriedly went to find Ji Ling's army, but was told that the city was being attacked, and the messenger exclaimed, "One hundred thousand urgent", but no one paid attention, and no one could stop at the critical moment of the siege.

After Ji Ling took Chen County, he went into the city to rest, and only then did he see the messenger. Yuan Shu gave a brief explanation of Cao Cao's meaning, Ji Ling secretly called "fooled", no wonder the "people" called "Shan Fu" would urge him to hurry up and march, it turned out to be Jiang Sheng's meticulous work!

Chen County had already taken it, and he couldn't get rid of it, Ji Ling hurriedly sent someone to explain the misunderstanding to Xiahou Yuan, but it was too late.

Xu Shu had already gone to Xiahou Yuan's camp to provoke, and Xiahou Yuan was suspicious of Xu Shu's identity, but what Xu Shu said was completely consistent with the military order given to him by Cao Cao, that is, to withdraw from the army and show sincerity.

Xu Shu instigated Ji Ling to attack the city, and confirmed Yuan Shu's crime of agreeing to Cao Cao's proposal but taking the opportunity to take the city, and the fact that Chen County was captured by Ji Ling made Xiahou Yuan even more suspicious, and regardless of Xu Shu's identity, he would fight with his army.

Cao Cao also let Yuan Shu play tricks, and the military order given to Xiahou Yuan was that if Yuan Shujun took advantage of Cao's retreat to take the city, he would unceremoniously counterattack.

Ji Ling's envoy had not yet left the city, and Xiahou Yuan's army had already besieged and killed him.

Cao Cao is treacherous, he is naturally guarding against the more insidious Yuan Shu, coupled with Xu Shu's such flickering and provoking, the current situation of division and confrontation between Yuan and Cao's armies has been promoted, and Xu Shu can be regarded as the first contribution.

The two armies must have their own injuries in the fight, and after a few days of hot fighting, people were sleepy and tired, and Zhang Liao's army of the Luoyang Captain Department had already been killed, and Ji Ling and Xiahou Yuan woke up.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and when the two armies reacted, Zhang Liao's army launched an attack.

There is no suspense in the battle, even if Xiahou Yuan and Ji Ling temporarily unite, but the run-in cooperation is not good, plus the fight for many days, the combat power plummets, the rise of Zhang Liao's army killing, winning thirteen games in a row, even if Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry combat power is extraordinary, it is difficult to reverse the decline, so he has to retreat. Zhang Liao divided the main force to pursue the victory, and a small part of the troops made a posture of besieging Ji Ling's army.

The 25,000 infantry troops of the Chang'an army did not enter Yingchuan, but turned south and fought in the rear of Ji Ling's army.

The battlefield on the western front is difficult to solve, Liu Bei on the eastern front was held by Zhao Yuntai Shici in the rear, Liu Bei had to shrink the whole army, if the next Pi is lost, Liu Bei will not be able to return to the sky, Xun You's Qingzhou army is fighting more and more bravely, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have to withdraw from Linyi to the south.

Without Guan Zhang Ceying, the Liaohua Department that attacked Taishan County fought alone, and was in a critical situation, so it had to withdraw to Xiaopei. Jiang Sheng's crisis on the Eastern Front is solved!

Dian Wei entered Qingzhou with some reinforcements from Jizhou, and was on the way to reinforce Liaocheng, Cao Cao's army Cao Hong's department intercepted halfway, and had been killed for a while, evenly matched, Xu Chu took the opportunity to storm Liaocheng.

Liu Beijun's Liaohua Department originally planned to respond to the Liaocheng war, because Langya was lost, and had to withdraw, Xun You's Qingzhou Army divided a part to support Taishan to fight, stabilized the situation, Taishan County's local township Yong cooperated with the Qingzhou Army guerrilla Xu Chu's flank, and the situation developed in the direction of Jiang Sheng.

At this time, Liu Biao's petition had been sent to Yecheng, Jiang Sheng nodded slightly after reading it, and said to Guo Jia: "What do you think of Fengxiao?" ”

"My lord, the situation Liu Biao is facing makes him have no choice, and only by reconciling with his lord can he gain a foothold in Jingzhou."

"So what should we do with it?"

Haosheng comforted and mediated Sun Ce and Liu Zhang's strategy for Jingzhou. There is only one point, Nanyang has been controlled by our army and cannot be let out! ”

Jiang Sheng listened quietly, and Guo Jia continued: "Nanyang is a strategic place for the north to enter Jingzhou, and it is necessary to control Nanyang if the Lord and the Lord dominate the world. ”

"Don't let Nanyang, I'm afraid that Liu Biao will make trouble again, and it is really not appropriate to cause trouble again at this time!"

"As long as the lord transfers Liu Zhang's sons and brothers out of Jingzhou, Liu Biao will not talk about Nanyang."

"Well, yes, it's up to you."

"Subordinates obey!"

Although Liu Biao was obsessed with Nanyang, Jiang Sheng took Liu Zhang's forces away from Jingzhou, which was already a great favor to Liu Biao, and without the influence of Liu Zhang's forces, Yizhou did not dare to attack Jingzhou.

Sun Ce at least remembered Jiang Sheng's friendship with Sun Jian, accepted Jiang Sheng's mediation, and retreated to Lujiang.

Liu Biao's Jingzhou was saved, and he acquiesced to the ownership of Nanyang, and Li Tong ruled Jingzhou across the Han River according to Jiang Sheng's intentions, and Nanyang became Jiang Sheng's base camp in the southwest.

When Nanyang stabilized, Li Tong freed up his hand to wave his army eastward, preparing to encircle Ji Ling with Zhang Liao's army.

Zhang Liao pursued Xiahou Yuan's army for 20 days, forcing Xiahou Yuan's army to retreat to Chenliu, considering the overall strategy of Yuzhou, Zhang Liao did not recover Liang, but went south to recover Runan.

After more than a month of fighting, Ji Ling was defeated and retreated to Shouchun in disgrace, and Runan rejoined Jiang Sheng's sphere of influence!

When Xu Shu returned to Yingchuan to restore his life, Tian Feng had already entered Ruyang and was designated as the seat of governance in Yuzhou, which was equivalent to the provincial capital. So far, except for Peiguo to Liu Bei and Liang to Cao Cao, Yuzhou belongs to Jiang Sheng's territory.

Jiang Sheng's two-line strategy has also achieved phased results.

Cao Cao's strategy of "Qingjun's side" was declared bankrupt, and Cao Cao couldn't sit still as he saw Jiang Sheng's main force in Youzhou moving south.

The Liaocheng that Xu Chu had just conquered was also abandoned by Cao Cao, and all the soldiers and horses gathered back to Yanzhou and turned to attack and defend. And Cao Cao led the elite of Yanzhou to camp in Dongjun.

After Liu Bei withdrew his troops, Zhao Yuntai Shici's task had been completed, so he withdrew from Xuzhou and went south by boat into the Yangzhou territory.

The huge fleet appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Yuan Shu's patrol troops immediately reported to Yuan Shu after discovering it, Yuan Shu was shocked, Jiang Sheng's navy fought in Liaodong for the first time, became famous in Xuzhou, and was already a powerful force known to the world, as long as it was on the sea or along the coast, it was already invincible, Yuan Shu's coastal defense troops placed in Songjiang (now Shanghai) were beaten by the trebuchet of the Tai Shi Ci navy, and the patrol fleet was also beaten.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to go to the table to ask for guilt, and Jiang Sheng accepted it when he saw it, and ordered Tai Shici and Zhao Yun to be the teacher.

Cao Cao's operation was very unsuccessful, and the strategic allies in various places had their own evil intentions, and they did not form a joint force at all, and did not pose a substantial threat to Jiang Sheng.

Although Cao Cao retreated, Jiang Sheng couldn't just forget it, Xu Huang stayed in Liaocheng, and Dian Wei waved his army into Yuzhou and officially came under Tian Feng's rule.

Tian Feng played Xu Shu's merits, Jiang Sheng heard that Xu Shu came to vote, he was overjoyed, and personally went to the city to greet Xu Shu, showing Xu Shu as a lieutenant general, in fact, the head of the Strategy Department of the Military Academy.

In order to further consolidate his jurisdiction over Yuzhou, Jiang Sheng reorganized the main force, determined to take Chenliu and Dongjun, and then encroach on and eliminate Cao Cao's forces.
