Chapter 1002: Yuan Shao's Countermeasures

Yuan Shao raised a five-way army and attacked Qingyan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Having learned the lesson of the previous time, Yuan Shao strictly ordered all units not to take the enemy lightly, fight steadily, coordinate and cooperate, and strive for victory.

The three armies of Jizhou were killed, and Yuan Tan's division on the east road conquered the western Pingchang of Qingzhou Pingyuan County, and soon controlled Leling and Yanci in the eastern part of Pingyuan County.

After seizing West Pyeongchang, the Jizhou soldiers immediately pointed to Pingyuan City.

Yuan Tan's division on the left road, Yan Liang's division on the left wing of the center, and Yuan Shao's main force of the Chinese army, the three-way army, all assembled on the plain.

Pingyuan City is Cao Cao's important town on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The plains can't be lost!

Cao Cao sent reinforcements one after another, but the Jizhou army was strong and well deployed, and the Yanzhou reinforcements were unable to break through the tight defense line of the Jizhou army.

Helpless, Cao Cao could only abandon the plain city, withdraw to the south bank, concentrate his forces, and stick to Gaotang.

West Pingchang and Plains missed, and Cao Cao's strongholds in the north of Yanzhou and on the north bank of the Yellow River were also lost.

At this point, the Yanzhou army had completely lost control of the north bank of the Yellow River.

After successive battles, Yuan Shao did not get carried away, but was doubly cautious.

Command all roads, consolidate the results of the battle, and after full preparation, divide the way and cross the Yellow River in the south!

……

In Yuan Shao's eyes, Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army are not worried, and Liu Mang and the powerful Luoyang army are Yuan Shao's worries.

Yuan Shao made up his mind to use troops against Qingyan, because he predicted that Liu Mang and the main force of the Luoyang Army would be pinned down on the Yongliang battlefield, and it would be difficult to separate themselves from the east.

Yuan Shao sent a large number of spies to closely monitor the movements of the Luoyang army.

Su Dingfang raided Daijun, and Yuan Shao was not very worried.

Dai County is a strategic abandonment area.

As long as the Luoyang army does not launch an attack from the Sili area, it will not pose a real threat to Jizhou.

However, the performance of the Xiliang Army disappointed Yuan Shao.

The 100,000 Xiliang army was defeated in a battle, which was incomprehensible to Yuan Shao. And the Xiliang army actually broke into Weishui, so angry that Yuan Shao almost burst out with foul language!

On the surface, Yuan Shao denounced the Xiliang warlords and ignored the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. What really made Yuan Shao angry was that although the Xiliang army was defeated, there were still more than 100,000 or 200,000 strong soldiers. If you can't do this trick, with the high walls of Chang'an and Yiwu City, you can also fight with the Luoyang Army!

And the Xiliang Army actually chose to break Weishui!

The westward advance is blocked, Liu Mang and the Luoyang army are bound to shift their attention to Qingyan! Yuan Shao was annoyed, precisely because of this!

Yuan Shao hesitated......

"Report! In the upper reaches of the river, in the direction of Puyang, several Luoyang naval warships were found! ”

Liu Mang really wants to intervene in the Qingyan war!

Yuan Shao hesitated even more......

Yuan Shao had a difficult choice, and the only way was to convene the commanders and supervisors of the army from all walks of life to discuss countermeasures.

In addition to Yuan Shang and Feng Ji, who stayed in Yecheng, the two sons Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, the generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the staff reviewed and matched, and all participated.

The congregation generals were completely unanimous: the army was full of momentum and morale, so it was natural to take advantage of the situation to go south!

The staff also seconded the proposal.

The trial believes that although the Luoyang Army has broken the Xiliang Army, the threat of the Xiliang Army is still there, and Liu Mang cannot completely get out of the Yongliang battlefield.

In the Battle of Yongliang, the Luoyang army also suffered heavy casualties and needed a long rest.

The cold winter has arrived, and even if Liu Mang wants to participate in the battle of Qingyan, he has more than enough strength but not enough strength.

As for the Luoyang warships that appeared, there was no need to worry.

Cao Cao lost his city and land one after another, and he would inevitably ask Liu Mang for help. or ask Liu Mang to send troops for support, or ask for grain and grass assistance.

If Liu Mang had the heart to participate in the war, he would never send only a few warships.

There were only a few warships, transporting soldiers, but only a few hundred; Transporting grain and grass, up to 1,000 stones. No worries.

This shows that Liu Mang has no intention or inability to support Cao Cao. Sending out a few small boats is nothing more than a gesture and a show.

Yuan Shao's heart moved......

However, one person has attracted Yuan Shao's attention!

frustrated and frustrated, he never expressed any opinion.

Yuan Shao did not express his position immediately, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to retreat.

"Gong and stay."

He is good at strategy and cautious.

It's not that he doesn't want to express his opinion, but the other civil and military forces have the same opinion, and they all advocate continuing to attack Cao Cao, and his own people are in decline, and if he expresses his opinion, he will definitely be refuted by everyone. Not only could he not convince Yuan Shao, but he offended everyone.

……

Zhong Wenwu withdrew, and Guo Tu took a few steps to catch up with the trial.

Guo Tu was originally Han Fu's staff, but he secretly befriended Yuan Shao and persuaded Han Fu to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu has a credit to Yuan Shao, but because of his seller, he is despised by the world.

The judge is upright and never hides his dislike for Guo Tu.

Seeing that he was following, he glanced at him and did not speak.

"Alas, it's a pity!"

Guo Tu sighed and shook his head very regretfully.

The judge snorted disdainfully and said, "If you have something to say, don't sell it!" ”

"Mr. Zhengnan is afraid that he will be slandered by villains, so Guo has this sigh."

The judge knew that he was frustrated, snorted, and said with a thorn in his words: "The villain does have it, but it is not frustrated!" ”

Guo Tu knew that the judge was talking about himself, and he scolded in his heart, but his face did not show it. What Guo is referring to is not frustration. Yuan Gong's relatives and gentlemen are far from villains, and villains are in prison! ”

After speaking, Guo Tu glanced at the trial meaningfully and walked away.

"Trick up the mystery......" The judge stared at Guo Tu's back and muttered, but his brows furrowed......

What Guo Tu is referring to is obviously Tian Feng!

Tian Feng, Frustration, Feng Ji, and Trial are the four staff members that Yuan Shao relies on the most.

Yuan Shaochu was in charge of Jizhou, with Tian Feng and Fu in charge, and he was in charge of the army with discipline and trial.

As Yuan Shao's strength became stronger and stronger, the contradictions between the four staff members gradually became apparent.

Discipline and trial matching, the relationship should be good. Although the relationship between Tian Feng and Fu Zhu is not close, the two often agree with each other.

Na Tian Feng, regardless of the place and occasion, often refutes the discipline and trial in person, and even counts the lord Yuan Shao in person.

finally angered Yuan Shao and was imprisoned. When discipline is judged, it is natural to be happy to go to a political enemy.

The trial is quite brainy, so he naturally knows what Guo Tu means.

Although Tian Feng is in prison, he is still by Yuan Shao's side. When everyone discussed, they were silent, but Yuan Shao left behind, and he would definitely refute his suggestion.

The judge frowned, thought for a while, and turned back......

……

Yuan Shao stayed frustrated, just to hear his opinion.

There is no one else, and he is outspoken. "My subordinates think that it is not appropriate to cross the Yellow River south and attack Qingyan."

Yuan Shao knew that he should not express his position in public, and he did not agree to continue to use troops against Qingyan. Yuan Shao nodded, encouraging him to continue.

He explained that south of the Yellow River was Cao Cao's lair. Crossing the Yellow River to the south will inevitably meet with stubborn resistance from the Yanzhou army.

Liu Mang has withdrawn from Yongliang, and he will never sit idly by and ignore the battle of Qingyan.

He believes that with the current situation, there are three major hidden worries about crossing the Yellow River in the south and continuing to fight.

Su Dingfang harassed Shanggu and Zhongshan, one of the hidden worries.

When Liu Mang returns to Luoyang, he must step up preparations, fund Cao Cao, and even directly send troops, which is the second worry.

There are two states in Qingyan, and there are many vassal states. Yuan Shao did not win the support of the princes surnamed Qingyan Liu, even if he seized the land of Qingyan, it would be difficult to hold on, and the third worry was the third worry.

Frustrated with Tian Feng, the views of the two often coincide. However, due to his personality and way of doing things, the same suggestion was often made by Tian Feng, which often made Yuan Shao dissatisfied. And from the frustration to say, whether Yuan Shao adopts it or not is still secondary, but at least it doesn't sound harsh.

Yuan Shao was silent for a long time and said, "What should I do if I don't continue to use soldiers?" (To be continued.) )
