Yuan Shu's side quickly returned to defense, and Gao Shun was also very single, so he directly gave up Dongcheng and retreated to Zhongli.

Originally, there were only a thousand people in the trap camp under his command, and he had already been transferred to become a sword guard again. This kind of existence, wearing steel armor and holding dual knives to harvest the enemy's life with the fastest attack speed, is his biggest reliance, but also his shortcoming.

If he wants to maintain the combat effectiveness of this force, then it means that he must give up a large-scale expansion of the army. Fang Yun only gave him a thousand people, after all, if he continued to recruit, it would cost too much money, even if Fang Yun had money, he couldn't afford to support it.

After all, this is not that kind of ordinary troops, although recruiting new recruits will lead to a decrease in experience, but the newly recruited Excalibur Praetorian Guard's combat effectiveness is very strong from the beginning, and there is a lot of training time left, which can replenish the combat effectiveness of the troops in time, and each soldier is not afraid of death. In this regard, this small team of 1,000 people is even more terrifying than the troops of tens of thousands of people.

After retreating to Zhongli, Zhou Cang had almost arrived, and coupled with Guan Zhong's three thousand crossbowmen, even if Yuan Shu had the heart to recapture Zhongli, he was afraid that he would have to pay a very heavy price. After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shu could only increase the previous troops, but as for Zhongli, he could only choose to give up.

At this time, the Yizhou Pioneer Corps had already begun to set off, led by He Yi, who had been transferred to the head of the Construction Corps. He was ordered to come to Yizhou with 5,000 soldiers of the construction corps and 500 navy to establish a port city in Keelung (chicken coop) as a base for the comprehensive development of Yizhou.

With the army came 300 doctors, as well as various medicines. Especially cyanlowin. Just because I heard that there is a miasma here. And after being accidentally stung by the malaria mosquito. You can get malaria.

Mosquito coils have become a major military supply, and even doctors use local materials to make mosquito coils. The soldiers learned to burn ghost needles to repel mosquitoes, and they could be said to treat those mosquitoes like jackals, tigers and leopards. Of course, good hygiene is also the main measure to prevent disease, which was popularized before coming.

"It's hard to imagine, why did the lord have to develop here?" He Yi looked at this deserted place and sighed.

"The lord intends to use this place as a base to explore the world in the south. Meantime. It can also be used as a stronghold for attacking Huiji County and Jiaozhou, and even military supplies can be hoarded here for later use. In a strategic sense, it is indeed a unique place. "The commander of the five hundred navy is Bu Yuan, a member of Bu Ji's clan, and everyone is in the same vein as the Yellow Turban, so they are naturally familiar with each other.

I have to say that Bu Ji has a good vision, and he sees that the navy must be an important branch of the army in the future, so the generals who have a good relationship with his clan are arranged to be admirals. It doesn't matter if you learn it from scratch. It's good to occupy this area, and no one is eyeing it for the time being. But in the future, many people will inevitably want to meddle in the big cake.

Although, he didn't really know what cake was...... Perhaps, some kind of pastry with eggs? It should be the same concept as fat, but it seems that Fang Yun prefers to use a big cake to represent the existence of some kind of relatively large interest.

Since Jiaozhou can also be regarded as the inevitable target, Fang Yun's ambition to dominate the world has almost been exposed. However, as a general under his command, Fang Yun's ability to be the emperor was naturally the best result, so they were very happy to do so.

"In this way, I have to tell my sons and daughters to work harder, and be sure to build this place properly, otherwise I will drag the lord back in the future, and then I will become a sinner for the ages!" He Yi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"It's not necessary for sinners through the ages, but it's inevitable that they will be recorded by the military department once." There are no outsiders here, so Bu Yuan is also happy to ridicule.

Let's not talk about Yizhou, but look at Danyang County. Before Sun Ce returned to the army, Zhu Zhi was also trying to find a way to break through in the face of the back road that had been cut off, and even recovered the lost Hushu and Jurong.

However, with He Man replacing Gao Ran in the rear, Gao Ran also began to go south to Jurong to stand by, and Zhang Liao came to Hushu to help, so that Zhang He's department, which is currently in Hushu, has a reliance, and plans to eat Jiang Cheng's 20,000-strong Sun Ce army!

I heard that Zhu Zhi was one of the few veterans in the Sun Jian period, and only Han Dang and Huang Gai were left in the same period. Zu Mao and Cheng Pu both died under Fang Yun's attack, and even Cheng Pu was killed by Fang Yun himself. In this way, if you kill a veteran of Sun Jian's era, wouldn't you be able to anger Sun Ce? If you can't kill him, it's not bad to be disgusting and disgusting!

Fortunately, Zhang He is also a famous general, so it is naturally impossible to be rash, and when he learned that Jiang Cheng's military rations were not much through the inquiry of the Han Soul Organization, Zhang He had the idea of sending troops. After all, even if he sent troops, in order to find a way out, Jiang Cheng's side would attack him, and if he waited until Sun Ce returned to help, it would not be easy to fight back and forth.

However, since Jiangcheng County is the front line, the soldiers there are naturally the most elite existence in Sun Ce's army. In addition, the people on Danyang's side are belligerent, and every young man is a very good source of soldiers, so he is not weak in terms of combat effectiveness. At the same time, in terms of weapons of war, I am afraid that they are also armed a lot.

I'm afraid that a strong attack will cost somewhat, and there is nowhere to outwit it, and Zhang He is also quite a headache. Fortunately, Fang Yun attached more importance to this war, so he sent a few staff officers over to Zhang He, and the newly formed staff department is currently conducting deductions according to the terrain near Jiangcheng, as well as the situation of the opponent's army, and even the character and military habits of the officers.

Jiangcheng to Hushu, even Jurong is a land route, there is no waterway to pass here, in the later generations are under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and Moling is the ancient name of Nanjing. It's a bit mountainous around, but it's not the kind of situation that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, there are many mountains and forests, and the most in the south in these years are mountain forests, and there are undeveloped primeval forests everywhere. Jiang Cheng's generation is not bad, at least it has been developed for some years, but there are still a lot of forests.

When it comes to forests, guerrilla warfare or fire attacks come to mind. At first, the staff also planned around this, but later, considering that Zhu Zhi's combat style was cautious and he was the kind of guy who thought twice, it was impossible to lure them into the forest to fight.

At least, even if they enter the forest, Zhu Zhi will arrange all kinds of back roads to ensure that they can get out as soon as possible if something goes wrong. Ordinary fire attack tactics or even ambush tactics will not work for them.

So, is it possible to make a fuss about his prudence? After determining his character, the General Staff began to reformulate its policy in response to this situation.

Finally, the next day, the first draft appeared on Zhang He's table. Zhang He studied it carefully and felt that there was a lot to be done. I immediately felt that the setting of this staff department was indeed very powerful. A staff officer may not be as good as a super military advisor like Guo Jia or Xi Zhicai, but with the concerted efforts, he has designed a plan without leakage, which is already very rare!

If he is from the afterlife, then he will naturally know that this is called: Three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang.

In fact, this 'cobbler' should have been 'General Pi' at the earliest, that is, the deputy general in the army, which means that the wisdom of the three lieutenants combined can even surpass Zhuge Liang. But when it was spread later, maybe it was an accent problem, so he became a cobbler.

At that time, most of the generals already had a sufficient understanding of the art of war, and even many of them were born in the family, and when the three of them shared wisdom, they could naturally check and fill in the gaps, and it was not surprising that they really wanted to beat Zhuge Liang.

The strategy has been developed, all that remains is refinement, as well as reasonable changes based on the variables on the battlefield. Zhang He can't guarantee that this plan can be implemented perfectly, and half of it can be considered a very successful one.

The next day, he sent people to Zhu Zhi's army to invite a battle, saying that he would fight to the death at the foot of Qinglong Mountain.

Qinglong Mountain is the junction of Hushu (the area around Jiangning District, Nanjing City) and Jurong (Jurong City, Nanjing), as well as Jiangcheng (Xianlin University Town, Qixia District, Nanjing). There are even mountains such as Lion Mountain, Dalian Mountain, Longwang Mountain and Turtle Mountain. The real junction point should be between these mountains.

But in order to be able to let Zhu Zhi'an fight, it was set at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, just because there was a plain area there. That is, the area in the northwest of Shangfang Town, Nanjing.

When Zhu Zhi received the battle report, his first impression was that there was fraud, after all, this place is close to the Qinglong Mountain Range and the Dalian Mountain Range, and the enemy army is likely to hide in the ambush in the mountain range, waiting for the two armies to suddenly kill when they are fighting.

In particular, the woods in that area are very dense, and no one can guarantee that there will be no ambushes. simply replied to Zhang He with a letter, it was okay to fight a decisive battle, but the location was chosen by him, and finally chose the Qilin Town area in the later generations, although it was surrounded by mountains, but it was his Zhu Zhi's territory, and it was difficult to say who ambushed whom at that time.

"Haha, Zhu Zhi really chose Qilin Town! God help me! Zhu Zhi's caution did not disappoint Zhang He, but shouted happily.

Without him, Zhang He had long expected that Zhu Zhi would not agree to start a war on the battlefield he had predetermined, and would inevitably choose the terrain that was favorable to him. But there are many mountains in the area of Purple Mountain, can Zhu Zhi really master it?

Zhang He's self-confidence is not groundless, just because just a few days ago, 5,000 people from the Huang Dye Department of Wudang Fei happened to come to his command to listen to the dispatch. This is a real mountain elite, Zhu Zhi was afraid that he never dreamed that Fang Yun had already trained a group of troops who were suitable for mountain combat when he was in the Taihang Mountain Base Area, right?

At that time, I was afraid that most people thought that Fang Yun trained that army to ensure the safety of the Taihang Mountain base area.

Who would have thought that with the expansion of Fang Yun's territory, the trend of winning the world is becoming clearer and clearer. Everyone found out that this army was prepared by Fang Yun for the southern strategy! Ten or even twenty years of preparation shows Fang Yun's long-term vision.

If you can't get the world like this, it's simply unreasonable! (To be continued......)
