751. Marched to Liangfu County
Zang Ba was really a little worried that Yuan Shaojun of Qingzhou led by Yuan Tan would enter his territory, but now he seemed to have no way to stop it.
So on the one hand, Zang Ba bargained with Yuan Tan, wanting to get some guarantees, and asked Yuan Tan to lead Yuan Shaojun in Qingzhou when passing through several county seats, he could only march outside the city, and could not enter the city or anything.
On the one hand, Zang Ba also made precautions in advance in Yingxian, Fenggao County, and Boxian County to deal with the possible attack of Yuan Shao's army in Qingzhou led by Yuan Tan.
As a small warlord born as a bandit, he really has an instinctive distrust of Yuan Tan, the second-generation son of an official family, so only when the arrangements are made can Zang Ba dare to let Yuan Shaojun of Qingzhou led by Yuan Tan pass through.
It's just such a careful thought, but Tai Shici found the opportunity to launch an offensive first, but advanced the battlefield to the territory of Taishan County, and only he knows how much regret Zang Ba has in his heart afterwards.
Of course, with Tai Shi Ci occupying Feiguo County, waiting for the follow-up soldiers and horses to gather, Liu Bei had already fled to Liangfu County with the remnants of the army, bringing Zang Ba the news that Tai Shi Ci's army had invaded Taishan County.
After Zang Ba received the news, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked his subordinates Sun Guan and Sun Kang to rush to Liangfu County with 4,000 soldiers and horses, and united Liu Beijun to prepare for the battle here.
Then Zang Ba didn't care whether Yuan Shaojun in Qingzhou led by Yuan Tan would snatch his territory by the way, and sent a letter of help to Yuan Tan as quickly as possible.
So Yuan Tan finally entered Taishan County with more than 20,000 Qingzhou Yuan Shaojun, and soon, as Tai Shici had expected, Yuan Tan, Zang Ba and Liu Bei's remnants set up a position on the side of Liangfu County, preparing to meet Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion.
It's just that at this time, although Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion has gathered in Feiguo County, it will have to follow the Wushui River to South Wuyang, and then pass through the western area of Mengshan to reach Liangfu County.
Such a complex terrain made Tai Shici have to consider the stability of the army's logistics route in advance.
After all, Zang Ba is the head snake of Taishan County, if he sends Taishan thieves from Mengshan to directly harass Zhu Weijun's logistics supply line, it will also make Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion feel very troublesome.
This is also the reason why Zang Ba was able to entrench in Taishan County for so long, it is with the help of the geographical advantages of Taishan County, Zang Ba can live in the gap between the three forces of Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Gunzhou so far, making it difficult for outsiders to attack Taishan County to exterminate him.
Tai Shi Ci was also a little worried about the terrain of Taishan County, so before officially marching to Liangfu County, Tai Shi Ci left Ma Zhong with 3,000 troops to garrison Feiguo County, which would be sent to Taishan County as Pengcheng logistics materials to a material hoarding point.
Then Tai Shici arranged for Zhang Shuo to take 2,000 troops to be responsible for the escort of logistics materials to prevent Zang Ba's army from passing through Mengshan to cut off the rear grain road.
After making these arrangements, Tai Shi Ci was relieved to lead the army in the direction of Liangfu County in the front, preparing to meet the three coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei.
However, Tai Shi Ci didn't plan to fight them alone, and he also sent a letter to Huang Zhong's side, hoping that Huang Zhong could lead his troops from Xiaopei through Lu State and detour to Liangfu County to support.
Although there is also a part of Zhongni Mountain entrenched in the southeast of Lu State, the western area of Lu State is the landform of the Luxi Plain, so the Huainan Battalion led by Huang Zhong can completely bypass Zhongni Mountain and Mengshan Mountain from Lu State and directly reach Juping County of Taishan County, so that it can attack Liangfu County from west to east.
At the same time, after Huang Zhong arrived in Juping County, he could also send troops to cut off the road between Liangfu County and Zang Bahou Bo County and Fenggao County, and cut off the follow-up grain route of the combined forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei.
Even if Zang Ba wants to support Liangfu County, he can only find a mountain road to transport supplies from the Culai Mountain, but this must not be an easy task.
In this way, maybe Tai Shici's Shenjian Battalion and Huang Zhong's Huainan Battalion can encircle and annihilate the three coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei on the side of Liangfu County, and then they will be able to solve the hidden dangers in the north of Xuzhou in one battle.
Speaking of the name of Liangfu County, the name of the county also happens to have a special meaning, the so-called Liang Fu is also known as Liangfu, which originally refers to a hill in Taishan County, which is the place where the dead are buried in ancient times.
It is said that Yan Ying of Qi used two peaches to kill three warriors, and the three warriors of Qi were killed, Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang and Gu Yezi, who were buried in the land of Liang Fu.
Therefore, there is a Yuefu poem "Liang Fu Yin" about this matter, and the person who wrote this poem is said to be Zhuge Liang, which shows that Liangfu County does have some bad implications.
But now that the three coalition forces of Yuan Tan, Zang Ba, and Liu Bei are actually facing Zhu Weijun on the side of Liangfu County, I just don't know which side of the dead people buried here in the end is.
Not to mention these side words, just say that after Tai Shici and Huang Zhong agreed, they led their troops to Nanwuyang County first, and then went further to the mountain area in the west of Mengshan, and only after this mountain area can you really enter the territory of Liangfu County.
Although there are official roads that can be safely navigated between the mountains, the terrain in the mountains here is complicated, and it is very likely that people have set up ambushes.
If Zhu Wei was here in person, he would naturally be able to see the situation through the map of the Three Kingdoms game system, and he could easily see through the ambush inside, but now Tai Shici naturally does not have this ability.
Therefore, Tai Shici could only send Bao Long and Chen Ying to lead 3,000 troops to explore the way for the vanguard, and the two of them were originally from Orion in Guiyang County, Jingnan, but they could also adapt to the mountain warfare on the side of Taishan County.
As for Tai Shici, he led more than 22,000 regular soldiers and nearly 10,000 auxiliary soldiers as the Chinese army, slowly following behind, and marching steadily towards Liangfu County.
According to the map, after going out of the official road in the mountainous area in the west of Mengshan, there is a small city called the Ju Qiu Ju, and after this Ju Qiu Ju is the real territory of Liangfu County.
As a result, Bao Long and Chen Ying, who were the pioneers in front, really found traces of Zang Ba's Taishan thief army in the western mountains of Mengshan, and it seems that Zang Ba really sent people to set up an ambush in the mountains.
The name of Dafan Mountain comes from its main features, and this Mengshan Mountain is a steep and unpredictable mountain as the name suggests.
The mountainous terrain of Mengshan is stacked on top of each other, the clouds and mist are filled, giving people a sense of being deep and unpredictable, obscure and difficult to distinguish, thousands of peaks in the mountains are towering, thousands of ravines compete for the stream, often fall into the situation that people are in the mountains and rivers are restored, and there is no way to advance and retreat.
It can be said that in addition to some granite peaks, Mengshan is also lush and deep, and the terrain is extremely complex, which can be regarded as a very suitable place for hiding soldiers to ambush.
Although the marching route chosen by Tai Shici belongs to the relatively sparse area of mountains and forests in the western part of Mengshan, and there are official roads connecting it, the terrain is already a lot simpler, but there are still many places suitable for ambushes.
Now it seems that Tai Shi Ci's caution is obviously necessary, at least there is really Zang Ba's Taishan thief army in ambush in this mountain......
