Chapter 911: Four-front combat
This day was the third day of Cao Cao's defeat and retreat to Puyang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Cao Cao drank the medicine, he beat his spirit and called everyone under his command to hold a pre-army meeting.
"Where are Lu Bu's soldiers and horses?" Cao Cao had strips of white cloth tied around his head, draped in clothes, and his face was pale.
The atmosphere in the hall was depressing, and everyone's faces were solemn.
Guo Jia came out and said; "General Lu's 100,000 army has passed through Lu County, the lord."
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's depressed expression and said: "After the Battle of White Horse, the Qin army's Zhang Liao Department has less than 60,000 troops, and with General Lu leading the army north, our NATO's strength in Gunzhou will reach 140,000. You can stick to the city first, and when General Lu's soldiers and horses arrive, you will start a head-on decisive battle. β
Since the Qin army was on Cao Cao's territory, there was no other city to rely on except for the small city of White Horse.
NATO's goal of wanting a decisive battle can be easily achieved, and if the Qin army is unwilling to fight a decisive battle, it can only retreat to Baima, or choose to retreat to the mainland.
Retreat to the white horse, just enough to surround it.
With 140,000 troops, more than 50,000, and fierce generals like Lu Bu to participate in the decisive battle, the situation is favorable to Cao Cao's side.
Cao Cao's face finally became a little ruddy, and he laughed: "I didn't expect Qin Zijin to see through my plan, but it doesn't matter, I will fight again in the future, and I will definitely destroy this Qin army that entered Gunzhou." Qin Zi entered the third line to fight, but if he broke all the way, he would be told that he would not come back. β
Cao Cao's people also regained their confidence, and after the news spread, the Cao soldiers gradually came out of the previous defeat.
The situation began to be very favorable to Cao Cao
However, soon a new news came, and the Xiliang cavalry entered the Tiger Prison Pass. Because of this, the Qin army's strength on the front line of the tiger prison was extremely strong.
Tiger Prison Pass to Guandu is Cao Cao's lifeline, forced by the pressure of the Qin army on the front line of Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao had no choice but to order Cao Ren and Cao Hong to guard Puyang. And Cao Cao himself went to Guandu to sit in town.
Cao Cao transferred more than 20,000 troops, leaving only 20,000 Cao troops on the Puyang front line in Dongjun. But fortunately, Lu Bu's army of 100,000 came up immediately. Cao Cao asked LΓΌ Bu to go out of Mount Tai and cut off the connection between Qin Feng and Zhang Liaobu. He also told Cao Ren and Cao Hong to stick to the place, wait for Lu Bu's troops to arrive, and choose the opportunity to join forces and use troops to destroy the Qin army Zhang Liao first.
Subsequently, Cao Cao led the army back to Guandu.
On the other hand.
Jinan City, Qingzhou.
This is already Qin Feng's headquarters base camp.
In the past few days, Qin Feng's strategy in Qingzhou has been very smooth. Qingzhou Jinan territory is all subdued, Xu Huang's department is entering Le'an County, Ji Ling's department is heading to Qiguo County, and Zhang Ji's department is moving to Chengyang County.
In the conference hall, Qin Feng summoned the three military divisions and said: "Wenyuan defeated Cao Mengde in Gunzhou, and I intend that the troops and horses of the headquarters will advance eastward, go straight to Beihai City, contain Yuan Shao in Beihai City, and wait for the three counties of Le'an, Qi State, and Chengyang to report the victory, and surround Beihai on all sides." β
Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Fu Zhu agreed with Qin Feng's strategy of marching, and they were shocked when they saw the battle report from Zhang Liao. I didn't expect Qin Feng to be able to calculate Cao Cao's strategy before he set out on the expedition, which was really a god.
And Qin Feng learned that the trick really worked, and while secretly saying that he was ashamed, he felt that it was really difficult to change the nature of the country, and Meng De was Meng De.
Due to Zhang Liao's great victory in Gunzhou, the west side of Qin Feng's headquarters could be guaranteed, and he was able to mobilize troops and horses to besiege Yuan Shao.
Although Qin Feng is now fighting on three fronts, as long as he succeeds all the way, the momentum of the southern expedition will be able to reach its peak. Now it seems that Yuan Shao's way is the easiest to complete.
Qin Feng was about to give the order to send troops.
At this time, Lu Fan, the messenger of his eldest apprentice Sun Wukong, came.
"Prime Minister." Lu Fan saluted respectfully.
Qin Feng got a letter from his eldest apprentice, Sun Wukong.
Sun Ce expressed his shame to his master, saying that if he attacked Hefei and contained Lu Bu, he would be able to expand his territory. However, the 200,000 Jingzhou army gathered in Jiangxia and was eyeing Jiangdong, and Sun Ce had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
Qin Feng looked at the letter, his eyebrows furrowed. Historically, Jingzhou and Jiangdong have restrained each other, and even for many years, the situation in Jiangnan has not changed.
Qin Feng still comforted Lu Fan with good words, and repaired a letter on the spot and asked Lu Fan to take it back to Sun Ce.
LΓΌ Fan completed his mission and left with the letter.
Qin Feng said to the military advisors: "It seems that Lu Bu's army is not far away. β
As if to confirm it, as soon as his words fell, urgent information came: Lu Bu's 100,000-strong army will arrive at Mount Tai immediately.
Qin Feng had one-third of his soldiers and horses, and he contained Cao Cao on the front line of the Tiger Pass. And a third of the soldiers and horses fought in Gunzhou. With the addition of Lu Bu's 100,000 troops this time, Qin Feng's troop deployment was overstretched.
Then, another piece of information came.
This time, the information came from Zhang Liao's department in Gunzhou, and Zhang Liao found out that Cao Cao had divided his troops and withdrew from Puyang. Now there are only 20,000 Cao troops in Puyang, and Zhang Liao wants to launch a strong attack on Puyang, so he came to report to Qin Feng that he learned.
Qin Feng is in charge, and all the wars that occur in Yuzhou, Gunzhou, and Qingzhou require him to plan and dispatch in a unified manner.
With the latest news from Zhang Liao, this made Qin Feng find an opportunity.
Qin Feng said to the military advisors: "Lu Bu's 100,000 army is going north, and it is not easy to deal with. It is useless to divide a small number of troops, and it is useless to capture Qingzhou if there is a large number of troops. All walks of life have become a situation of full flowering and no results. But if Zhang Liaobu can capture Puyang and Gunzhou can take it down with a snap of his fingers, the general trend is completely on our side. β
He also said: "The soldiers and horses of our army's tiger prison are far away and cannot be mobilized. The Zhangliao Department of Gunzhou needs the advantage of troops to capture Puyang, and the soldiers and horses along the way cannot be adjusted. I plan to divide 30,000 troops from me to meet Lu Buyu Taishan and contain his soldiers and horses. Zhang Liao's troops attacked Puyang, and our headquarters attacked Qingzhou, but if either side wins, it will form a flanking attack on Lu Bu. β
Subsequently, Qin Feng and the three military advisors began to discuss the possibility of this strategy.
No strategy or tactic will be perfect, and now this strategy, as long as Qin Feng has one side to win, the momentum will be able to rise. But if you can't win quickly, you will fall into an embarrassing situation. The 30,000 soldiers and horses that Qin Feng sent out would be difficult to hold back Lu Bu's 100,000 army for a long time.
However, Qin Feng's strategy was effective, and he could block Lu Bu's army, and he could attack Gunzhou and Qingzhou at the same time.
In the end, Qin Feng decided to send Xu Huang and Ji Ling to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses into Mount Tai, and let Fu Zhi be the military advisor of the army to contain Lu Bu's army going north.
Due to the withdrawal of Xu Huang and Ji Ling, the army that entered Le'an and Qi would not have a general to lead it, so Qin Feng sent Dian Wei and Xu Chu to replace them and continue to attack Qingzhou.
A day later.
Outside the city of Jinan, Qin Feng sent out an army of 30,000 from this part, which won the time to take the initiative to meet Lu Bu, and let the soldiers and horses who invaded Qingzhou not have to be transferred back.
"My lord! The last general must hold back Lu Bu's soldiers and horses to win time for our army to attack Gunzhou and Qingzhou. Xu Huang said.
Qin Feng instructed: "Discuss everything with the military advisor and Ji Ling. Although Lu Bu has no strategy, his military advisor Chen Gong is scheming and should not be underestimated. β
"Please rest assured, my lord."
Xu Huang, Fu Zhu, and Ji Ling bowed.
In this regard, Qin Feng once again divided his troops. And NATO was completely united, mobilized nearly 300,000 troops, and fought on four fronts with Qinfeng in Yuzhou, Gunzhou, and Qingzhou.
Jia Xu watched the army go away, put his hands in his sleeves, and muttered: "The lord brought 70,000 troops into Qingzhou, and there were losses in the previous battle, plus this division of troops, there are 30,000 troops left on the lord's side that can be mobilized." Although Yuan Shao was defeated, he still had 30,000 troops, and the war in Qingzhou was not easy to fight....... β
