Watching Lu Liang's kid leave in ecstasy, Zhang He had mixed feelings in his heart.

As a martial artist, surrendering without a fight is obviously not a good reputation. However, the building will collapse, and he will not be able to support it alone. And Yuan Tan's behavior made Zhang He feel the fast knife from the top of his head. In such a situation, Zhang He, who has never belonged to the foolish and loyal generation, changed his door, but he did not have much psychological pressure.

Anyway, it's not the first time that Zhang He has changed his court. You know, he was Han Fu's subordinate at the earliest.

The news that Zhang He was willing to surrender made Zhang Qiao, who was preparing for the siege outside the city, feel like he was punching the cotton. As a fan of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Qiang's evaluation of Zhang He, one of the five good generals, is really not low, and he is naturally well prepared for the siege. Even if the kung fu of arrogance and qi cultivation has been extremely profound, he is still extremely surprised by this news.

"Surrendering without a fight is by no means Zhang Junyi's character. There must be something inside that we don't know. ”

This is what Zhang Qiang said to his "military advisor".

"It's a pity that the treasures we carefully prepared seem to have to be postponed for a while before they can appear in the eyes of the world......"

Zhang Madness said half-jokingly, and this was his first reaction to Zhang He's submission.

Zhang He's surrender avoided the casualties of thousands of soldiers of the Jizhou Army, and also set the final tone for the general trend of the Qingzhou war. In return, when he met with Zhang He, who came to pay respects, Zhang He was not stingy, and directly gave Zhang He the official position of a miscellaneous general.

Don't think that the arrogant approach is stingy. You must know that in the last years of the Han Dynasty, the name of the general was not as widespread as in later generations. For example, the level of "Miscellaneous General" is already the highest level of military generals under the arrogant subordinates.

As for Zhang He's subordinates, Zhang Qi naturally had to reorganize them before he could send them to the battlefield with confidence. So. In the next Qingzhou strategy, Zhang Hejun has no chance to show up.

After solving Zhang He, Zhang Mad led the army to continue eastward, until he reached the city of Pingyuan, and confronted the Chun Yuqiong army who returned from Qinghe to resist the invasion. At this time, the mobile cavalry corps heading south finally conquered Linzi with Guo Yan's troops a few days ago. After slashing Guo Tu, the battle report that Yuan Tan fled in embarrassment came over.

Zhang Madzai carefully read the battle report twice, and then he believed that he was indeed not wrong. And his strange performance also made Cheng Yu, who has always had the name of "military advisor", a little strange.

Cheng Yu is the first top strategist to take refuge in insolence. This old man, who is nearly 60 years old, is not only strategic, but also good at governance. Because the time to take refuge in Zhang Yu was early enough, Zhang Qi gave Cheng Yu a high status and great authority.

As a result, Cheng Yu was spying. He has worked in logistics, managing the people, and governing the army, and is almost an all-round talent. When he was arrogant in attacking and merging states, he also held important positions in states and counties many times, and he was in charge alone, and he could be regarded as a bigwig-level figure who straddled both the military and the government. In terms of status, in the civil and military system under the arrogant subordinates. There is no one who can compare with it, and it is truly "under one man." above 10,000 people".

Of course, due to his resolute temper, Cheng Yu did not have a good relationship with many arrogant subordinates. But this point is just in line with the arrogant mind.

Zhang Mad believes in Cheng Yu's loyalty, and Cheng Yu's eldest son Cheng Wu is now also under Zhang Mad . Served as the magistrate of a county. The relationship between the two sides is so close, Zhang Qiang doesn't think Cheng Yu will have other thoughts. However, as the second person in the military and government with prestige and qualifications second only to Zhang Qiang, Cheng Yu is still a Cheng Yu who cannot talk about a harmonious relationship with his colleagues, which can reassure Zhang Qiang.

"Mowgli. Is it weird? ”

"Sir will understand when you see it."

Zhang Madness handed over the battle report with both hands. Cheng Yu took it and took a rough look, and he also said "Huh".

"This ...... Yuan Benchu is really a tiger father and a dog! ”

Cheng Yu was once a member of the party, and he had a special feeling about "Yuan Benchu, the world's model". This feeling did not make Cheng Yu have any mercy towards Yuan Shao, but it did not prevent him from sighing afterwards and missing this late old friend.

"Tian Yuanhao is the barrier of Qingzhou. With Tian Yuanhao here, our army will conquer Qingzhou, and there will be some repetition. Since Tian Yuanhao died at the hands of his master, Yuan Tan Xiaoer is not worried, Qingzhou will definitely arrive! ”

He proudly tapped his finger on the table and said with a smile on his face. Although his Qi cultivation kung fu is already very good, he can get the territory of a big state almost without damage, and no one can be indifferent, right?

"It's not just Qingzhou, the Chun Yuqiong in front of you is now also a drum!"

Although Cheng Yu is old, his spirit is still strong. He straightened up and spoke:

"Although Chun Yuqiong is difficult, after all, he is only a general. Now that even his lord has been lost, after the news spreads, I don't believe that Chun Yuqiong's subordinates can still have the will to fight. Mowgli, this matter must be widely publicized, so that all the soldiers on the opposite side understand that their support has been cut off, the foundation is not there, and they are already turtles in the urn! ”

Cheng Yu's suggestion happened to be an arrogant idea. Over the years, although Chun Yuqiong has not made any trouble for Jizhou, he has held Qinghe County, but the next expansion of Zhang Qi has been greatly restricted. Being able to pull out the big obstacle of Qinghe is obviously a pretty good thing.

"Good news, lord! Qingzhou good news! ”

While the two were talking, another small school rushed into the big tent in a hurry. After reading the new military report, Zhang Mad brows curved into a smiling shape.

"Yuan Tan has been captured!"

Hearing the arrogant words, even Cheng Yu couldn't help but stand up from the straw mat.

"Who's the credit?"

"Li Zhiran [Li Dao]!"

"Good! Now, Qingzhou is also determined! Qinghe is settled! ”

To say that Li Dao is also lucky. He, Le Jin, Tai Shici, Guo Yan and other four people, according to the previous strategic arrangement, adopted the method of taking turns to serve as the vanguard and rolling into the battle alternately. Le Jin played the first formation, Tai Shici was the fourth formation, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were in the middle. When he attacked Linzi City, it was Guo Yan who took the lead and won the merit of capturing the city. Li Wei was envious in his heart, and naturally he didn't want to fall behind, so he didn't even enter Linzi City, so he directly drove his troops forward to pursue the deserters in Linzi.

Although poor Yuan Tan can also ride a horse, after all, he has been pampered for a long time, where can he compare to the swift cavalry under Li Dao who can break through for a hundred miles in one day?

After being discovered by a team of 100 people, most of Yuan Tan's personal guards were quickly killed by random arrows. Finding that he couldn't get rid of the pursuers, Yuan Tan had to surrender to the pursuers behind him in order to save his life. In this way, Li Dao easily got a great achievement.

"Since Qingzhou is easily pacified, do you want to take the opportunity to go south and swallow Yanzhou and Xuzhou together?"

After his emotions calmed down, Cheng Yu opened his mouth to ask about Zhang Mad's next strategic intentions.

"This ......"

The insolence of the question groaned.

This Qingzhou raider, Zhang had no intention of pacifying the Central Plains in one fell swoop. In his plan, taking advantage of Cao Cao's trip to the west, if he could successfully annex the entire Qingzhou within three months, he would already be satisfied.

However, at present, the smoothness of Qingzhou's strategy is unexpectedly smooth. Yuan Tan abolished his martial arts and eliminated the important minister Tian Feng, which also made Qingzhou panic all of a sudden. With the great help of this "great hero", it is expected that within one month, Zhang Qiang will be able to smoothly control the entire Qingzhou. In the whole process, Jizhou not only did not have any losses, but could increase its strength by absorbing Qingzhou's troops.

Moreover, the grain and straw captured from Qingzhou, plus the materials that Zhang Qi had prepared for this war before, were enough for him to continue to wage a war of 100,000 men for three months without feeling tired. No matter how he thought about it, Zhang Qiang felt that it was feasible to continue fighting.

However, Zhang Qi did not make a hasty decision on this.

"What do you think, sir?"

Hearing Zhang Yan's inquiry, Cheng Yu stroked the three-foot long hair under his chin with his hand. Due to his age, his original green beard was dyed a lot of gray. However, Cheng Yu's spirit is no worse than in the past.

"Cao Cao is proficient in the art of war, and there is no shortage of fierce generals and ministers under him. It is firmly defended in Yanzhou, and the city defense is strong, which is not easy to attack. Moreover, this time, Cao Cao marched east to welcome the Son of Heaven and had already contacted Sun Jian. Sun Jian is the tiger general in the world, even Lu Bu has many inferiorities. The two combined, even if they can't defeat our army, they are also a difficult bone to gnaw. ”

"Lu Bu is superior in force, and it is difficult to have an opponent in the world. However, this is the courage of the horseman, and there is nothing that can be done against the army. Moreover, Xuzhou is full of heroes and strong, and they are independent. Although Lu Bu is called the state pastor, he only has a county. However, Xuzhou is strong and xenophobic, although there is endless internal fighting, but in the face of external enemies, it can unanimously fight the enemy. If our army attacks Xuzhou, it is obviously to help Lü Bu unify the military power in Xuzhou. ”

Cheng Yu paused when he said this. Seeing that Cheng Yu didn't say anything, Zhang Yan asked:

"According to the gentleman, isn't it not suitable for both?"

"Do you have that?"

Seeing Cheng Yu's denial of his words, he waited quietly and arrogantly, waiting for Cheng Yu's explanation.

"The battle in Qingzhou won in a 'fast' word. However, after the Qingzhou War, the motorized cavalry horsepower was exhausted, and if they continued to fight, I am afraid that they would not be as fast as they were at the beginning. Moreover, seeing that our army captured Qingzhou, whether it was Cao Cao or Lu Bu, they must have reacted, dispatched troops, and prepared to meet our army. Attacking at this time is undoubtedly a tough encounter with the opponent. ”

"With the plan of servants, Yan and Xu can attack, but not now. As soon as Qingzhou is new, it is necessary to stabilize the place and appease the people. Second, the mobile cavalry has exhausted its horse fat and must be raised. ”

"But our army can make a big show and preach an offensive, but only a false shot is a shot from a partial division. When Cao Cao and Lu Bu mobilized with all their might, our army died down and quietly retreated. When the enemy slackened slightly, our troops again went on the offensive. If this is the case, when the enemy is exhausted, our army will take it by surprise again, drive thousands of miles with light troops, detour to the enemy's rear, and press the front with a large army. Such a combination of right and strange is that the enemy will definitely not be able to resist! (To be continued......)
