Chapter 476: Three Ways to Retreat
Gongsun Chan retired. When this Youzhou boss learned of Qin Feng's true strength, he withdrew as soon as possible. and scolded Lu Bu for being a fool, and even invited Qin Feng's soldiers and horses to fight Qin Feng.
This is simply seeking skin with a tiger, which is like a tiger trying to eat Lu Bu, and Lu Bu finds another tiger, touches the tiger's buttocks, and asks the tiger to help him beat another tiger. As soon as the tiger turned around, Lu Bu was paralyzed with fright, and it turned out that what he found was the tiger that only ate himself.
Gongsun Chan suffered a loss and threw down 10,000 people on the battlefield in Jizhou, but left without saying a word. It's no longer possible for him to leave, and the Karasuma people are wreaking havoc on his territory.
With the retreat of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu inevitably caused chaos in Youzhou again, so Liu Yu also withdrew after saying hello to Qin Feng.
The news reached the Central Plains.
Cao Cao was extremely shocked when he learned that the Black Mountain Army was also the Qin Army, and said again and again: "It turns out that this is the true strength of Zijin Xiandi. β
Guo Jia couldn't help admiring, "Champion Hou is really calm and calm, and in the face of pressure from the three parties, he insisted on using his strength until the end. The first battle turned the whole situation around, and within half a month, the state will be under the command of the champion Hou. When Guo Jia said this, he sighed, "The world is unpredictable, if it weren't for Lu Bu seeing the benefits of mobilizing troops, it would be Yuan Benchu who would have suffered a big loss." β
Guo Jia's analysis is also right, Yuan Shao and Qin Feng are fighting for Jizhou, and they must fight again. Yuan Shao ignored the strength of the 30,000 Black Mountain Army, and he would definitely suffer a big loss. Now it is Lu Bu who has suffered this loss and lost the state. And Qin Feng endured it for so long to launch and get the land of a state, he did not suffer a loss, but brought the possible results of the Black Mountain Army to the maximum.
"And the state...... and state ....... "Cao Cao is too envious. Thinking about it carefully, now in the world, there are only Qin Feng who can own one state and one and a half territories.
Guo Jia suddenly said: "Champion Hou withstood the pressure that ordinary people can't resist, and only then did he have today's results. β
Cao Cao nodded, he knew that Guo Jia didn't mean to ridicule him, but was telling him. Without hard work, there will be no results. You don't have to envy others, as long as you work hard, you will get good results. Qin Feng has worked hard to achieve such fruits.
"With Zijin in the north, I can also rest assured that I can face the southeast. Since Zijin is already worry-free, he immediately ordered the Yuan of Jizhou to let them withdraw and come back. Cao Cao personally wrote a letter congratulating Qin Feng on his decisive victory, and he had a large gap in troops and was about to withdraw his troops.
β¦β¦
In early winter, the temperature plummets, and although it has not snowed yet, there is severe frost every day.
After the generals of the Qin army, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan, entered the annexed state, they swept away the counties. Zhang Liao was born in the Bingzhou Army, which made the process very smooth, and the past counties surrendered.
According to the witnesses of the people of Jinyang, when Lu Bu left, he took a lot of money and food, as well as some soldiers.
Qin Feng got the annexation of the state, he was popular with the people, and his control was immediately consolidated.
On this day, on the tenth day of October, the Jizhou boundary bridge, the camp of the Qin army.
The big tent of the Chinese army was warm and the atmosphere was warm. With the retreat of Gongsun Zhan, the Qin army formed a north-south attack on Yuan Shao.
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan glanced at each other, and the former walked out and said, "Champion Hou, today we are going to return to Gunzhou." β
Qin Feng has already received Cao Cao's letter, and Cao Cao's four battles in Gunzhou have a large gap in troops. Qin Feng's side had completely taken the initiative, and he had no reason to keep Cao Cao's reinforcements. Qin Feng got up and said solemnly: "Thank you two generals for your support this time, go back and tell my brother-in-law Mengde, brother-in-law will not forget his help this time." β
Brother Xiahoudun's expression became strange, and he said in his heart that it was really right for his brother to marry this sister-in-law, and he was a brother-in-law with the champion Hou, if only he married his sister. The two put away their thoughts, clasped their fists, and turned away.
With the departure of Cao Cao's reinforcements, the Jizhou battlefield formed a one-on-one situation between Qin Feng and Yuan Shao. This time, it's different from the last time. Last time, it was Yuan Shao who had the advantage in troops, and this time, Qin Feng had an absolute advantage.
Not long after the Xiahou brothers left, Qin Feng received a report from the scouts, and the Qin army scouts detected that Yuan's army had retreated.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Feng's four military advisors gathered together to study the future strategy for Yuan Shao. Since Qin Feng got the position of Jizhou Mu from Han Fu, he has been facing a dangerous military situation, thanks to the continuous planning of the four military divisions, this has repeatedly turned danger into relief and won fruitful results.
"Lord, if it is as expected, Yuan Benchu has retreated and insisted on the letter." Xu Shu said.
Qin Feng thought the same thing. With the fall of Lu Bu and the evacuation of Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao was already in an extremely unfavorable situation. Yuan Shao no longer has the ability to attack at all, and strict defense is the only way out for him now.
Xun Yu said meaningfully: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is very unfavorable for our army's fortification, especially after the snow, ....... β
The bitter cold of winter will make the logistics of the army and the daily life of the soldiers difficult. It is difficult to march in the snow, and the cold will make the soldiers' movements clumsy, which is even more detrimental to the siege. Since ancient times, it has been rare for an attacker to attack in the winter, unless it is a stalemate that drags on until the winter.
Tian Feng nodded for a while, "My lord, you are new to the state, it has been rumored that there have been many changes in the state clan recently, and it will take time to consolidate the local area." It is better to take advantage of this winter leisure to temporarily withdraw troops and take care of the local reorganization of the army. It is believed that through the integration of one season, both the local war potential and the combat effectiveness of our army will rise to a higher level. Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter ....... β
Qin Feng's territory expanded from a half-state to a state and a half. It is true that there is too much government work and needs a good environment to take care of it. Tian Feng's words were affirmed by Qin Feng, but Qin Feng had no plans to withdraw his troops for the time being.
He pointed to Anping County, Jizhou and said: "Anping County, Xindu, these were originally our places. Now that LΓΌ Bu was in exile, Gongsun Zhan retreated in fear, and Yuan Benchu must not be allowed to occupy these places. β
"The winter in the north is very cold, which is extremely unfavorable for the warriors. Therefore, before the heavy snow covers the land, take Xindu, drive Yuan Benchu out of Anping County, and drive him back to his old nest Bohai. β
Qin Feng's words were extremely firm, and the letter was originally Qin Feng's. Now that Yuan Benchu is occupied, this is the result of the battle. Qin Feng would never allow his troops to strike when he lost ground.
Moreover, Qin Feng wanted to take Anping County before midwinter, and he also had other strategic intentions. Because Anping County has a very important strategic position for Qin Feng, Anping County borders Yuan Shao's Hejian County, Bohai County, and Leling County. Getting Anping County is equivalent to inserting a knife in Yuan Shao's door.
After taking Anping County, Qin Feng got a bridgehead to attack Yuan Shao and defend Yuan Shao's outpost. It is of great significance to Yuan Shao's strategic situation in the future.
Qin Feng planned to mobilize heavy troops and attack Xindu.
"My lord." Xun Yu walked out, "Although our army has doubled the strength of Yuan's army, if we attack Xindu, we will inevitably lose a large number of soldiers and horses. β
Qin Feng knew Xun Yu very well, thinking that he would not just come out and point out the defects, so he asked, "What is Wen Ruo's opinion?" β
Xun Yu pondered for a moment, and then he was confident, "You can feint to attack Hejian and Leling, Yuan Benchu only has three and a half counties, and two of them are in an emergency, how can he sit idly by." When he transferred the troops of Xindu, our army took Anping County in one go. β
Give the dummy.
So, the Qin army mobilized. Qin Feng dispatched Zhang He to lead a group of soldiers and horses to attack Leling County in the east of Jieqiao, and ordered Gao Shun to lead the soldiers and horses of Zhongshan County to launch an offensive against Hejian County controlled by Yuan Shao in the east.
Qin Feng also ordered Zhang Yan, who was in Bingzhou, to lead 20,000 Montenegrin troops back to Jizhou, and secretly marched to Anping County to support.
Sindu.
In the conference hall, the atmosphere was a little tense, and Yuan Shao and his subordinates were uneasy, after all, the princes of the three roads failed to bargain in Qin Feng's hands, and one was destroyed, not to mention that only Yuan Shao was left now.
"Merge the state, Qin Zijin got the merger state, that's the merger state!" It seems that Yuan Datou is more of a greedy head, and for Qin Feng to get a state of land without much effort, he is worried about falling out, and there is no moment of stability. Yuan Shao faced the offensive of the Qin army, and he was still in the mood to think about this. is because after all, he recaptured the big city of Xindu, and he is really the only one among the princes of the Three Roads who has achieved results.
"Report to the ......, my lord, something is wrong, the Qin army Gaoshun invaded Hejian."
"Report to the ......, my lord, the Qin army Zhang Hebu marched to Leling."
The originally tense atmosphere in the hall suddenly rose to panic, whether it was a general like Yan Liangwen Chou, or a strategist like Xu You and Guo Tu, including Yuan Shao who was walking around the hall, everyone was panicked.
Yuan Shao's main forces were all in Xindu, and he originally planned to rely on Xindu to strictly defend and drag Qin Feng into the middle of winter. Then, no matter whether Qin Feng withdraws his troops or not, Yuan Shao, as the defender of the city, will occupy a very favorable situation. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng did not send a letter to the capital, but instead divided his troops to take Hejian and Leling.
In Yuan Shao's hands, only the three counties of Hejian, Leling, and Bohai are really under his control, and now the two counties are threatened. Yuan Shao, who had insufficient troops in various counties, suddenly panicked.
"How's that good?" Yuan Shao looked at the strategists on his left.
While Xu You was still pondering, Guo Tu got up and said, "Don't panic, the lord doesn't need to panic, Qin Feng doesn't come to Xindu, obviously he also knows that he has no ability to capture Xindu." Since he divided his troops to take Hejian and Leling, the lord divided his troops to resist. As the saying goes, when the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover the earth, although Hejian and Leling do not have such big cities as Xindu. But if Qin Feng wants to conquer county by county, it is absolutely impossible. β
Guo Tu's strategy is to put it simply, if you don't keep your word, you can defend other places, and the Qin army is still helpless.
"No......." Xu You said lightly.
Guo Tu was suddenly displeased, "Master Xu, what's wrong?" (To be continued.) )
