The secret agents in Luoyang will fly to report the battle situation of Yuzhang at any time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fought so hard, Liu Mang was both surprised and admired.

However, Jiangnan is far away after all. Liu Mang has no mood or energy now, and pays too much attention.

Wang Bodang was killed in battle, and Liu Mang was sad.

The situation in Yongliang is developing in a favorable direction, but the situation faced by the Luoyang army is not optimistic at all.

In the Battle of Qishan, although the Xiliang Army suffered a lot of losses, under Yang Guang's constant urging, the main force of the Xiliang Army quickly completed its rest and was rushing to the eastern front one after another.

The Luoyang army seized Tongguan, Linjin and other key passes, and destroyed Shangluo. But Yang Guang will never give up, and will definitely gather the main force of Xiliang to seek a decisive battle.

In addition to the Yongliang War, there is another thing that Liu Mang also pays close attention to, that is, the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

……

Yuan Shao raised troops and horses, sent troops to attack Qingyan!

The five armies are:

The East Road Army, the main general Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, the superintendent Guo Tu, and the deputy generals Wei Changhui and Dong Ping. Troops were sent from Nanpi, Bohai County, Jizhou, to attack West Pyeongchang, Qingzhou Plain County.

The left-wing army in the middle lane, the main general Yan Liang, the supervising army, and the deputy general He Ruobi, etc. Troops were sent from Xiu County, Bohai County, Jizhou, to attack Pingyuan County, Qingzhou Plain County.

The right-wing army in the middle lane, the main general Wen Chou, the supervising army Fu Zhi, the deputy general Pan Mei, etc. Troops were sent from Yuancheng, Wei County, Jizhou, to attack Dong'e, Yanzhou East County.

The army on the right, Yuan Xi, the second son of the main general Yuan Shao, Xin Bi, the deputy general Shi Chong, Lu Junyi, etc. Troops were dispatched from Fanyang, Wei County, Jizhou, interspersed with blocking the passage of Jiyin County of Yanzhou to support Dong'e, and cooperated with the capture of Dong'e.

The main army in the middle lane, led by Yuan Shao himself. Gao Ran and Zhang He were generals, and Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xu You and others accompanied the army with staff officers and military affairs. Troops were dispatched from Ganling, Qinghe State, Jizhou, to attack Gaotang, Qingzhou Plain County.

Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Shang, stayed in Yecheng, acting for military and political affairs, and acting as an assistant for discipline.

In addition, Cao Bin, Cao Wei, etc., were stationed in Guangyang, Yuyang and other places in Youzhou to prevent foreign races in the north and the rising Gongsun Du of Liaodong.

……

Yuan Shao attacked in a big way, and Cao Cao had already prepared.

-for-tat, in Dingtao, Dong'e and other places, arrange the five-way army to meet the battle.

Cao Cao's pro-unification road, and the other four roads were led by Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan.

Luoyang spies reported back the military deployment of Yuan and Cao as soon as possible.

According to the analysis of Liu Mang and his staff, Yuan Shao's strength is obviously stronger than Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao had the advantage of geography, people and advantages, which was enough to fight.

However, the development of the war was beyond the expectations of Liu Mang and others.

After several battles, Cao Cao lost one after another.

West Pyeongchang, the easternmost side of the defensive line, was fiercely attacked by the Jizhou army.

The Yanzhou army lost thousands of men, and the defenders were forced to abandon West Pingchang and retreat to Pingling, East of Jinan.

The Jizhou army occupied West Pyeongchang and was gathering troops and horses to prepare for an attack on the plains.

West Pyeongchang was lost, and the plain became the only stronghold north of the Yellow River on the Qingyan defensive line.

If the plain is lost, the Yanzhou army will be compressed to the south bank of the Yellow River.

With the loss of the stronghold to the north of the Yellow River, it is extremely difficult for the Yanzhou army to counterattack.

Gaotang County is only separated by a river from Pingyuan County.

If the plain is lost, it will be difficult to protect Gaotang.

If Pingyuan, Gaotang, and West Pyeongchang are all lost, the Jizhou army will be able to control the entire Pingyuan County. Then, open the eastern passage of Qingzhou.

To the east of Pingyuan County, there are two vassal states of Le'an and Qi.

In that year, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought in Xuzhou, and then through the mediation of Liu Mang, Kong Rong and the lords of the vassal states, they stopped the sword soldiers.

At that time, the conditions for peace talks included one: Le An and Qi were used as buffer zones between the two sides, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei were not allowed to send troops to occupy them.

However, this condition can only bind Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and has no binding force on Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao occupies these two vassal states, he will form an encirclement of Cao Cao from the west, north, and east.

Lao Cao, dangerous ......

……

Is Cao Cao really so can't help fighting?

Three years ago, Cao Cao formed an alliance with Liu Mang and fought fiercely with Yuan Shao in Yanzhou.

That time, Cao Cao was also defeated in successive battles, and the commander of Jizhou drove straight in.

Cao Cao's defeat that time was to take the initiative to retreat to lure the enemy. After Yan Liangwen Chou became a lone army to go deeper, the Yanzhou army immediately launched a counterattack, successfully surrounded Yan Liangwen Chou's army, and forced Yuan Shao to retreat.

Could it be that Cao Cao repeats his old tricks?

All the intelligence shows that this time, Cao Cao really can't resist!

The Jizhou army is fully prepared, and the armies of all walks of life are coordinating and cooperating, and the momentum is rapid.

In each encounter, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army suffered hundreds of casualties. Cao had the intention to lure the enemy, but he couldn't afford to spend such a large amount of money.

……

Cao Cao's territory, surrounded by Yuan Shao, Lü Bu, Zhang Miao, and Liu Bei, was surrounded by enemies and lacked strategic depth.

If the Jizhou army crosses the Yellow River, Cao Cao will have no way to retreat and no danger to defend.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are good friends from childhood to adulthood.

The relationship between the two is also like the relationship between children, fight today, play tomorrow, and fight the day after tomorrow......

But this time, Yuan Shao obviously didn't want to "reconcile" anymore!

Under the current situation, if Cao Cao is defeated, it will not be a simple gain or loss of the city's territory, but a complete annihilation!

Cao Cao, the hero in history, will withdraw from the stage of history!

The fall of Cao Cao is not what Liu Mang is worried about.

What Liu Mang is worried about is that Yuan Shao is bigger!

If Yuan Shao destroys Cao Cao, he will unify the four states of Yanqing.

These four states are vast and wealthy, with a population of nearly 15 million, and are the places where the Central Plains culture flourishes.

Yuan Shao is the most powerful prince in the world, and if he wins Qingyan Erzhou, he will be like a tiger.

And after it annexes Qingyan, the next target must be Si Li! It must be Liu Mang!

……

Of course, Liu Mang did not want to see Yuan Shao annex Qingyan and dominate the four states.

Immediately summoned Liu Bowen, Wang Meng, Du Ruhui, and Di Renjie, who served in Hongnong, to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Mang's idea is very clear, he must try to stop Yuan Shao!

However, Liu Mang didn't expect that when he said his thoughts, Liu Bowen and others were all against it!

The starting point of Liu Bowen and other aides' opposition is different. But there is one point of view, and all the staff members are highly unanimous: stopping Yuan Shao requires not only courage, but also strength.

The main force of the Luoyang Army was all pinned down on the Yongliang battlefield. The decisive battle with the Xiliang Army is about to begin. In the current situation, it is impossible for the Luoyang Army to use troops on both sides!

Wang Meng believes that under the current situation, the battle of Yongliang is more important than everything.

At present, the most important task is to make every effort to solve the problem of Yang Guang and the Xiliang Army Group. Occupying the rich Guanzhong Plain, expanding the space for development, and increasing the strategic depth in the north-south and east-west directions will be more conducive to future development.

Liu Bowen's view is slightly different from Wang Meng's.

Liu Bowen is an old slipper, and his strategic starting point is simpler and more practical.

He believes that helping Cao Cao against Yuan Shao is, from a strategic point of view, correct. However, proceeding from practical interests, there are big problems.

Liu Cao joined forces, and there was indeed a possibility of defeating Yuan Shao.

However, with the current strength of all parties, there is absolutely no possibility of completely defeating the Yuan Shao group.

In other words, even if Yuan Shao is defeated, he will not be able to make enough benefits from it.

Yuan Shaobing is strong and strong, and has been operating in Jizhou for many years.

"Even if you win, you don't have enough land. Even if it occupies its territory, it is difficult to gain a foothold without the support of the local clans. The old slippery head shook his head as he spoke. It's not a good deal......"

Everyone objected, and Liu Mang was not very happy. However, Liu Mang, who is becoming more and more mature, does not show the slightest expression on his face.

"Ke Ming, tell me about it."

Du Ruhui handed over two letters. "I just received the letter, please take a look at it." (To be continued.) )
