Chapter 166: Yuan Shao's Strength

The reason why Yong'an City became the northern gate of Hedong County and was selected by Xu Huang as the base camp to intercept Yuan's army was not just because he was close to the mountains and rivers. The rushing Fenshui passes through Yong'an City, the left side is the Tongtian Mountain from west to east, blocking the Xihe County and Sili Hedong County of Bingzhou, and the Huo Dashan on the right side is separated from the Shangdang and Sili Hedong from south to north, leaving only Yong'an in the narrow section connecting Taiyuan County and Hedong County, if you look down from mid-air, Huo Dashan and Tongtian Mountain are like two wings spread by a bird and the Fen River is the center line of the bird, the bird's head is the Taiyuan Jiexiu area, the huge bird body is Hedong County, Yong'an City is located in the bird's chest, It connects the bird's body, neck, and outstretched wings.

Therefore, Feng Ji has never planned to attack Yong'an after the temptation, unless he has nothing to do and Feng Ji claims to be superior in resourcefulness, how can he do such a thing without a little strategy? Therefore, he will hold back his mind and calculate Yang Shuo.

There is no problem with the mentality of the lord, and the generals have no scruples and speak freely, but they don't know the essentials. Shi Jin was not present because he was seriously injured, and there were only four people present: Liu Ji, Xu Huang, Yang Zaixing and Yang Shuo.

"Feng Ji is exquisite, he definitely doesn't bother to attack Yong'an, and he will definitely change his way to attack us, I don't know what the military advisor has to do?" Xu Huang asked Liu Jidao.

Liu Ji didn't answer Xu Huang's words, but asked Yang Shuo: "Lord, I don't know where General Zilong is?" ”

"Xiangling has passed, and it will be here in another day!" Yang Shuo said.

Liu Ji nodded, closed his eyes slightly, and raised his head again: "If you want to break through Yong'an, in addition to attacking and luring me out of Yong'an City to gather and annihilate it, the rest is to attack us from other directions, and the strong attack is disdainful, and the lure has failed, so the only way to attack is to attack from other directions!" ”

"Yong'an has Tongtian Mountain in the west and Huo Dashan in the east, can Feng Ji still fly over?" Xu Huang said with some pride, it was his choice to block Yuan's army in Yong'an, otherwise it would have been precarious to face Yuan Shao's 50,000 army with 10,000 foot soldiers and 8,000 cavalry alone.

"Tongtian Mountain and Huo Dashan continuously blocked the attack of the Yuan army, but it does not mean that there are no paths to pass through Tongtian Mountain and Huo Dashan, and the north of Puzi County in the northwest of Yong'an is Tongtian Mountain, where every household makes a living by hunting, and there are many Shilou people in Xihe County, will they still make a detour to Yong'an or go to the county?

There is also Xiangling in the southeast of Yong'an and Shangdang's Xishi only separated by a Huoda Mountain, can General Gongming guarantee that there is no contact between the two places? ”

"This?" Xu Huang was a little dumbfounded, although Tongtian Mountain and Huo Dashan are lofty mountains, but they are far worse than Taihang Mountain, Taihang Mountain is still unable to block Jizhou and Hezhou, not to mention Huo Dashan and Tongtian Mountain to block Bingzhou and Hedong, as long as they have the heart to find the local hunters, they will definitely find a road suitable for a small number of soldiers and horses to pass.

After figuring it out, Xu Huang no longer had any scruples, nodded and said with certainty: "When I was stationed in Linfen, someone often brought things from Shangdang from Xiangling instead of passing through Huze and Tianjing Pass, presumably through these trails. ”

"Since Orion can travel from the two places, Yuan Shao's army can also pass through the Huo Dashan and Tongtian Mountain trails, in case of a division of troops to Puzi and Xiangling to intercept Yuan's army!" Liu Ji proposed.

"It's okay, just according to the words of the military advisor!" Yang Shuo nodded, Feng Ji's mind is changeable, he has to be guarded, as long as it is possible to threaten Dao Hedong, he must be strangled in the cradle.

"It's just right, Zilong's army will come tomorrow, there is a lot of fatigue in the march for days, there is Zilong stationed in Yong'an, General Gongming led the army to Xiangling, General Zaixing led the cavalry to Puzi, if there is a Yuan army coming over the mountain, it is just to annihilate it!" Liu Jidao.

The plan has been decided, just waiting for Zhao Yun to lead the army to arrive, Xu Huang and Yang Zaixing will lead the army to various places. And the information from all over the Central Plains was also continuously transmitted to Yang Shuo.

First of all, Jiangdong Sun Ce took the opportunity to take the opportunity to embrace the entire Yangzhou south of the Yangtze River when Yuan Shu went north to attack Cao Cao, and the Jiangdong scholars were afraid of Sun Ce's bravery and turned into the Sun Ce group, and the power was further expanded.

And Liu Biao of Jingzhou did not stop after the defeat, and ordered Han Xuan and Jin Xuan to command 50,000 troops to the north again, with a total of 80,000 troops, and Wen Ping was the commander waiting for the opportunity to capture Xuchang, absorbing the lessons of the last failure, this time Wen Ping did not choose to attack Cao Xiu and Cao Chun's Cao army, in the case of maintaining a high-pressure situation, Wen Ping forced Zhang Xiu to attack Cao Cao, while fighting with Liu Pi, Gong Du and others in Runan, and so on to completely occupy Runan and attack from behind Xuchang, in general, Cao Cao's east is heavily armed, The wars continued, but they were mainly fought by small groups of soldiers and horses.

After Liu Biao played the slogan "Qing Jun's side, punish Cao Cao", Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei, also joined the ranks of Cao Cao and attacked Yanzhou with Lu Bu's army.

Yuan Shujun dispatched seven soldiers and horses, nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses on each road, at the beginning Xun You took advantage of the fact that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life did not gather together to gather Chen Ji and Lei Bo's two soldiers and horses, but Yuan Shu's Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang two roads sprung up, in one fell swoop broke through several points of Xun You's defense and advanced the war to the rear of Xun You, the persecuted Xun You had to give up the duck in hand and retreat, until he retreated to the capital of Liang to gain a firm foothold, and Lu Bu of the northern line also led the army to advance to the Dingtao area of Huaiyin County, so far Cao Cao only left Yingchuan and Chen Guo, Chenliu County, Dong County and a few other counties are in his hands, most of the land has been lost, and the situation is precarious.

Seeing that the combined forces of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were about to destroy his little henchman Cao Cao, Yuan Shao could no longer sit still and slowed down the attack on Gongsun Zhan, while ordering Yuan Tan of Qingzhou to lead an army of 60,000 from Lang Xie to attack Lu Bu's Xuzhou to achieve the goal of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, on the other hand, with Yuan Shang as the main general, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan as generals, Tian Feng and Fu Zhi as the army, and commanding 100,000 troops to kill the Liang State on a white horse, and the level of the war escalated again.

Yuan Shao sent troops to aid Cao Cao in everyone's expectations, after all, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers have been fighting for so long, at this time, seeing that Yuan Shu's strength is about to surpass Yuan Shao's, how can Yuan Shao watch Yuan Shu become bigger? But at the same time, he also realized the strength of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu was a violent expedition to get more than 200,000 horses, and Yuan Shao was not, while besieging Gongsun Zhan, Qingzhou Yuan Tan led an army of 60,000 to attack Xuzhou, Jizhou Yuan Shang led an army of 100,000 to attack Yuan Shu, and Zhou Gaogan led an army of 50,000 to attack Yang Shuo, a total of nearly 300,000 horses and horses were dispatched at the same time on four roads, and only Yuan Shao had this force in the world, and had the ability to dispatch so many troops and so much grain and grass to supply 300,000 soldiers and horses at the same time.
