Chen Qingzhi led the army away, and Luo Shixin set a fire to Yuan's camp and then led the cavalry back to the camp early. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Vomiting blood and falling off the horse, the generals helped him up in a panic, pushed everyone away, and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and put out the fire?"

Looking at the fire in the camp, the soldiers had nothing to do, this fire had swept through the entire camp, the fire was fierce, what could they do about this level of fire? When Luo Shixin set the fire, the Yuan camp was almost empty, and the soldiers were at the gate of the main camp, which was not like an ordinary robbery camp, and the soldiers would save the camp while surround the enemy to control the fire. Therefore, this kind of robbery cannot cause much damage.

And Chen Qingzhi figured out his high-spirited and irascible character, calculated that he did not take strict precautions, and let Luo Shixin lead the light cavalry to surround the rear, and he himself led the main force to carry sufficient bows and arrows and armor to drag the main force of Yuan's army in front of the main camp. Let Luo Shixin set a fire and burn down the camp of the Yuan army.

Regardless of whether it can be saved or not, it must be saved, some Yuan soldiers went to the nearby river in a panic to find a water source, regardless of whether there were containers or not, grain and grass. , can you bring back the grain and grass? Some took off their clothes and armor to put out the fire, and some used weapons to shovel soil to extinguish the fire.

The camp consisted of tents and wood, and by dawn the fire was finally extinguished. It is not so much that the soldiers extinguished, but that it was burned out naturally, in short, what Gao Gao saw at this moment was a charred black camp, and the dozens of bamboo warehouses in front of him that were originally hoarding grain and grass had also become a charred black mound at this moment.

Gao Gao took a large knife and cut open the mound, which was a burnt black particle, and the middle part was slightly better, yellowish-brown, not burnt black, but it gave off a pungent burnt smell, which was obviously inedible.

High, Yang big eyes want to cry without tears, now Dazhai has been burned, there is no camp quilt, the weather in the north in March is still cold, the day is fine, at night these soldiers will be cold and unable to sleep. And the most important thing is grain and grass, don't look at Youzhou and Zhou, there is no extra material to support the soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao does not have much grain and grass here.

Last year, Liu Biancai ransacked the Jizhou grain market, thanks to Cui Hao's support, the grain and grass for this expedition were raised by Cui Hao with countless efforts. Destroy Qingzhou can naturally return to the capital, if you can't destroy it, it will be a miserable loss, now the vanguard of Gao Gao has no food and grass, and can't survive at all, in order to save the 50,000 soldiers and horses, there is only one way to retreat.

After Chen Qingzhi returned to the camp, after a period of congratulations, he gave Luo Shixin a first credit. The generals stood in the camp, Chen Qingzhi said with a smile: "Last night burned the camp of the Yuan army, their grain and grass were destroyed, and now they have no grain and grass to support, and Yuan Shao's main force is still assembled in the plain, and it cannot be reached for the time being, if I expect it to be good, Gao Gao should retreat!"

Qin Qiong slapped his palms and said happily: "Great, after the high retreat, they will have to raise grain and grass for a while, which can be delayed for at least half a month." When the rainy season comes, the water level of Juyang will rise, and we will be able to intercept Yuan Shao west of the Juyang River with the help of the water army! ”

"In this battle, the situation on our side is stable for the time being, but General Lin's side, I'm afraid it's a vicious battle!" Chen Qingzhi sighed and said.

"Although General Lin does not have the danger of the giant ocean, there are more than 40,000 troops, in addition, there are a large number of young people to help defend the city, so the number of troops is not less than Zhao Kuangyin, although there is no danger of the giant ocean like ours, but there is also glue, Weishui interception, it should not be difficult to hold the southern defense line!" Qin Qiong groaned.

Chen Qingzhi smiled bitterly: "Having said that, Zhao Kuangyin is not Yuan Shao, and his soldiers and horses are much more difficult than Zhao Kuangyin." Your Majesty has already sent a letter to Yuan Shao, and he will send troops and horses against Yuan Shao, hoping to make contributions as soon as possible and resolve the crisis in Qingzhou! ”

The next day, Gao Gao retreated, and it is unknown how Yuan Shao will punish him after he returns. Besides, on the defensive side of Qingzhou's southern front, Zhao Kuangyin led 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Beihai County of Qingzhou in Langya County, Xuzhou.

There are also rivers on the defensive side of the southern line, but he flows from south to north, and he doesn't want to intercept Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses on the opposite side.

The two rivers on the southern side of the route are Weishui and Jiaoshui, which originate in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and flow north through the Qingzhou Peninsula and into the sea.

Between these two rivers, Lin Renzhao built defenses in Anqiu, Chang'an, Gaomi and other county seats. Lin Renzhao's main force was stationed in Gaomi, and other counties put a large number of young and strong, hoarded a large amount of grain and grass for defense, and Zhao Kuangyin's main army did not want to divide the troops, and 100,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Langya Dongwu County, looking at Gaomi County twenty miles away.

Zhao Kuangyin can be described as strong, when he first made a fortune, he had 40,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, and later recovered the Qingzhou soldiers, and got 200,000 young and strong. When Zhao Kuangyin occupied Yanzhou, there were already 200,000 soldiers and horses, and later he took Yuzhou, got most of Yuan Shao's remnants, and also carefully selected 50,000 soldiers and horses, but Yuzhou was too deeply harmed by Yuan Shu, and has been recuperating. These 50,000 soldiers and horses were also transferred to Yanzhou soldiers and horses, so that Yanzhou soldiers and horses were in Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao's old department was placed in Yanzhou.

As for Xuzhou, there were originally 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhao Kuangyin also received them all, and Cao Bao, who was bent on Zhao Kuangyin, was placed in Yanzhou by Zhao Kuangyin to serve as an idle post, and did not end well.

Roughly calculated, Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers and horses also have more than 350,000, and among the princes of the world, his strength is second only to Liu Wei.

Now Zhao Kuangyin attacked the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, most of them were from Yanzhou, and half were Xuzhou soldiers and horses.

In the county seat of Dongwu, Zhao Kuangyin sat on the main seat, Chen Gong stood on the left, and Cheng Yu raised grain and grass in the interior of Xuzhou to supply the army. Because there is a Mount Tai between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, it is difficult to deliver grain and grass, so Zhao Kuangyin chose to attack Qingzhou from Xuzhou, a place where the river is flat. On the right are Xu Chu, Hua Yun, Li Dian, Hou Junji and other generals. As for Yu Ban, Shi Wansui and others were Zhao Guangyi's cronies, guarding Yanzhou and did not dispatch.

And Cao Bin, Cao Ren and others are guarding Yuzhou, guarding against spring.

Zhao Kuangyin held the letter in his hand, with a deep groan, Zhao Kuangyin slapped the letter on the table, and scolded: "Yuan Shao, a mediocre talent, sent 50,000 pioneers to attack the Qingzhou defense line, but was burned by Chen Qingyi, and now the 50,000 army has returned to the plain, and the day of his attack on Qingzhou is going to be postponed again, and he is actually embarrassed to play with me with grain and grass!"

"This Yuan Shao is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, didn't he get a Cui Hao, why is he still so mediocre?" Chen Gong sighed and said.

"Cui Hao is Cui Hao, Yuan Shao's nature is like this, what can be done if he is suspicious? I heard that he also listened to the rumors, and sent Chun Yuqiong to replace Zhang Yan of Montenegro, I think there is another accident on the front line of Taihang Mountain, and the fire in his backyard is not far away! Zhao Kuangyin said with a gloomy face.

"He has no grain in Jizhou, and now he has been burned by Chen Qingzhi for 50,000 troops, and I don't know if he can hold on until Qingzhou is destroyed, will we send him this grain and grass?" Chen Gong asked.

"Although he is useless, he still has use value, at the moment, the main thing is to destroy Qingzhou, and he can't delay, so he ordered the second brother to send some grain and grass to Yuan Shao in Yanzhou to support him!" Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand helplessly.

"No!" Chen Gong wrote it down.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Chen Gong and asked, "The military advisor has also looked at the defense set up by Lin Renzhao, but there is a way to attack?"

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said: "This Lin Ren Zhaoduan is a good general, the defense line he set up on the opposite side is impregnable, in addition to the main force guarding Gaomi, and a large number of young and strong people have been arranged in other counties, there are cavalry patrols in the middle, there are naval troops on the river, hoarding grain and grass baggage, if our army divides troops to attack, it will not be able to fight in a short time." If our army attacks one place together, it can be resisted with his forces. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said regretfully: "This Lin Renzhao has always been inconspicuous and dewy, I didn't expect it to be so powerful, is there no way to solve him?"

"It turned out that there was no, but Yuan Shao's letter gave me a way!" Chen Gong suddenly laughed.

"Oh? What is the strategy of the strategist? Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed.

"Chen Qingzhi resisted Yuan Shao in the west, hoping to rely on the blockage of the Juyang River to delay the rainy season when the rainy season comes! And Lin Renzhao here, although he refuses to be the head of the city, there is also Weishui and glue as a risk! But unlike the giant ocean, these two rivers are upstream of us, and even if the rainy season comes, there is no threat to us! Chen Gong explained.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized: "What the military advisor means is that Chen Qingzhi can take advantage of the arrival of the rainy season and the rising water level of the Juyang River to resist Yuan Shao." Our army can also take advantage of the arrival of the rainy season to cut off the source of Weishui and glue upstream, and use water to deal with Lin Renzhao? ”

Chen Gong arched his hand and smiled: "The lord is wise, one point can be passed, Lin Renzhao's defense in Anqiu, Chang'an, Gaomi and other county towns are all close to Weishui, glue, stay until April and May, the rain is sufficient, our army only needs to cut off this river upstream, and it can destroy the defense line set by Lin Renzhao without spending a single soldier!"

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed: "This is a naked plan, even if Lin Renzhao learns of our army's intentions, he can keep his soldiers and horses." It can't stop the monstrous offensive of the flood, and after waiting for two months, the defense line he has worked so hard to set up will be self-defeating. ”
