Chapter 479: Eventful

After a long time, Yan Xiang suddenly woke up as if he had been slapped in the face, and shouted: "I can't let this shaft succeed, so I will return to Shouchun and explain this matter to the lord!" ”

"It's too late. ※※" Jia Xu shook his head lightly, and sighed lightly: "Zhou Gongjin has been launched for a long time, and now I am afraid that he has reached the territory of Guangling. Even if the horse returns quickly and convinces the highway general on the spot, I am afraid that it will be too late. ”

"Wen He is too worried, right?" Chen Qi was shocked: "Not long after Di Rong left Xiapi, the territory is empty, but it is understandable, but Di Rong is entrenched in Guangling, how can it be so easy to deal with?" If he sends the message back in time, maybe he can cut off the supply of grain and grass when Sun Ce and Zhen Rong confront him, just so that he can kill himself! ”

"It's too late, it's too late." Jia Xu didn't argue with him, just shook his head and sighed to himself.

Chen Jue was shocked and anxious in his heart, and was about to say something more, when someone outside the tent suddenly shouted: "Report ......"

"Speak!" Wang Yu snapped.

A personal guard flashed into the account, and after clasping his fists and saluting, he reported: "Enlighten the lord, General Zhang returns from Langya......"

"Oh? Is the war already in sight? The speed of the army's march is not slow. Wang Yu's eyebrows furrowed, the corners of his mouth raised, and a smile escaped.

Langya's battle is easy to fight, but it is also difficult to fight. It is easy to say because Zang Ba suffered a fiasco in Mount Tai, and his strength is no longer the eleventh he used to be, and under the disparity in strength, it is naturally much easier to deal with.

But after all, the Taishan thief is not an ordinary grass bandit, and the remnants of the army are all bandits, beasts! Injured beasts are often more ferocious than they were before they were injured. The battlefield is in the mountains and forests where these beasts are most familiar, and if you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss.

This kind of war does not show much merit if you win, and if you are careless, you will suffer losses. Obviously, it is not suitable for the arrogant generals of Tai Shi Ci after the victory. In addition to Yu Ban and Zhao Yun, that is, Zhang Jaw is the most suitable, and now it seems that the latter's performance is within his expectations.

General Zhang reported that the Taishan thieves gave up all the outer territories and shrank all their forces to the Cangshan Mountains south of Yangdu. According to your prior explanation, General Zhang set up the camp in Ju County, and the two counties of Dongguan and Chengyang are under the control of our army! ”

It is not unpleasant to open the jaw and enter the army. In more than ten days, it has swept most of Langya country. Ju County is the heart of Langya, on the bank of the water, down the river can drive directly to Kaiyang, and even Xuzhou Zhisu Tan County!

For Qingzhou. This is good news. But for Chen Jue, this military report is simply a house leak and it rains overnight, with such a force of soldiers and horses, Wang Yu can launch a large-scale invasion of Xuzhou at any time.

Fortunately, the guard mentioned two other terms, which gave Chen Jue a glimmer of hope: "Dare to ask the prince, the two counties of Chengyang and Dongguan ...... in the end."

Chen Qi is a full reader of scriptures and books, and he is also familiar with geography. is no stranger to the word Chengyang. Chengyang State was established at the beginning of the second year of Emperor Wen, and was once the largest county in Qingxu Prefecture. Later, in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was incorporated into the Langya Kingdom. Wang Yu suddenly mentioned Chengyang County again, obviously to re-establish this county.

Other words. Qingzhou's invasion of Xuzhou may end here? Chen Qi looked at Wang Yu hopefully, wanting to see something from his expression.

Wang Yu nodded and replied casually: "In order to prevent the recurrence of the Battle of Mount Tai, I have discussed it with the princes of the palace. It is believed that it is necessary to re-establish the two counties of Chengyang and Dongguan and station troops here. That's the only way. In order to suppress the Taishan thieves in Langya, and maintain the closest contact with Xuzhou. ”

"I see." Chen Qi sketched the situation in Langya after being divided in his mind.

What Wang Yu said is valid in a sense, and the reason is very good. According to the current situation, Zang Ba is completely surrounded in the Kaiyang area, and he can either come out of the mountains and fight with Zhang Jaw, or he can only nest in the mountains. For Xuzhou, with the barrier of Kaiyang, it can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

He was a little suspicious, since Wang Yu could predict Sun Ce's movements, then his plan to attack Langya was probably a plan to take advantage of the fire. As long as he doesn't invade the East China Sea, Xuzhou, which is suffering from internal and external troubles, will be able to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Before coming, Chen Qi still thought about protesting, but now that he saw it, he had to swallow all his words back, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "The prince is well arranged, presumably Tao Gong will not have any objections." ”

Chen Yu's attitude made Wang Yu quite satisfied, he smiled slightly, and asked: "In order to better integrate the two places into Qingzhou, I originally planned to use people from Xuzhou as the county guard, I don't know if Mr. Han Yu has any good recommendations?" ”

"This ......" Chen Qi was a little hesitant, it looked like a gesture of courtship? Could it be that the other party has already regarded Xuzhou as a bag?

Wang Yu originally knew that Chen Qi and other head snakes were a little resistant to him, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to give the other party a step down, but now it seems that the other party's resistance is even more than imagined, so he refuses to obey.

"Mr. Han Yu doesn't need to be in a hurry, you can think slowly." He didn't urge, waved his hand, and looked at the guard again.

Not to mention how Chen Qi was relieved, the military information brought by the guards was far more than that, when his angry voice sounded again, as soon as he spoke, he almost scared Chen Qi over.

Sun Cejun swore an army on the seventh day of the first lunar month, left Pengcheng, and marched east along Surabaya. Ji Ling of the Huainan Army led an army of 20,000, and as soon as Sun Ce left, he waved his army into Pengcheng, and after a little repair, he followed Sun Ce and marched eastward. On the same day, Xuzhou's troops also moved south, and the main general, Cao Bao, led 5,000 Danyang soldiers and 10,000 Xuzhou elite ......"

"The two armies met on the outskirts of Xiapi City, and the negotiations were fruitless, and they were already in a mess. The subordinates left Juxian three days ago, when Xiapi was still in the midst of fierce fighting, and the losses on both sides were very large......"

"Oh my God!" Chen Qi's eyes suddenly darkened.

Cao Bao is Tao Qian's countryman and number one confidant, although there are not many soldiers and horses under his command, but he is the main force with the strongest combat power in Xuzhou. He and Ji Ling started a war in Xiapi, which was basically equivalent to the decisive battle between Xuzhou and Huainan.

Before his horror could be fully vented, the guard gave him another blow: "After leaving Pengcheng, Sun Ce marched quickly, entered the territory of Guangling on the ninth day of the first month, and fought fiercely with the Zhenrong army in Sikou on the 10th, and personally went into battle, slashing the left and right protectors of the Zhenrong Buddha army, and defeated the Zhenrong army, and then ......"

In the chaos of Xuzhou, Sun Ce had the least troops and the weakest forces, but his purpose was also clear, and his actions were also the most rapid. He used a clever plan to lead Cao Bao and Ji Ling into a fierce battle, and the main forces of the two major forces battled, attracting all the attention of the surrounding Xuzhou army and the subsequent Huainan army, and he was in Xiapi as if he was in a no-man's land.

The battle between Cao Bao and Ji Ling certainly didn't affect Zhen Rong, but Sun Ce didn't only use tactics. To deal with Zhen Rong, he didn't use any strategy, but launched an attack with all his might.

The Buddhist soldiers and horses of Zhenrong were many elite but few, and the large array of troops in Sikou was broken by Sun Ce with one drum. As soon as the almost rabble of the Buddhist army was defeated, it could no longer be retracted, and was chased and killed by Sun Ce all the way, and he didn't even enter Huaiyin City, so he could only go all the way south and flee with his life.

But Sun Ce was not greedy for merit, he passed Huaiyin City without entering, and chased all the way behind Zhenrong, until he reached Jiangdu City on the north bank of the river.

Zhen Rong is ruthless and unrighteous, and he can survive to this day because of his cunning and unprovoked. He did not stay in Guangling for a long time, but he made sufficient preparations, and prepared hundreds of boats as a way back at the Jiangdu ferry as early as possible.

But where did he think that Sun Ce chased all the way, for the sake of these ships!

Sun Ce chased all the way, but he deliberately couldn't catch up, but he just fell behind Zhenrong and didn't leave, killing a few defeated troops from time to time to enhance Zhenrong's sense of crisis.

In this way, on the eleventh night of the first lunar month, the two armies chased and fled to Jiangdu City. I don't know what strategy Zhou Yu used, so he made Zhenrong think that he was safe for the time being, so he left the city to go to the ferry to get the boat, and then, it was tragic......

"Sun Ce's array was slashed, the Buddhist army was defeated, half of it was annihilated, and the rest surrendered. Now Sun Cejun has hundreds of large and small ships, with nearly 10,000 people, and occupies most of Guangling County, which is a situation where it can be attacked and retreated. General Zhang thought that Sun Ce was very threatening, so he ordered his subordinates to report back and ask the lord for instructions. ”

Chen Qi was about to faint, and Yan Xiang was also dumbfounded.

These battles all happened when he was out, but he knew very well that the current strategy of the Huainan Army was to try not to fight a big war, because in the past two years, it had fought too many defeats in Nanyang, Yan, and Henan, and the losses were too heavy to be suitable for expanding the war at all.

Yuan Shu's previous plan was also to let Wang Yu mediate, but he had to control the timing, and it was best to accept mediation after the Huainan Army had taken possession of the three counties of Xuzhou.

No matter how domineering Wang Yu is, no matter how partial he is to Xuzhou, it is impossible for Yuan Shu to spit out all the food that he eats, and he will give up at most one of the three counties. In this way, it not only occupies the field, but also can easily resolve Xuzhou's counterattack.

According to the plan, all the tough battles should be Sun Ce in the front, and the Huainan army should reap the benefits. Now it's a good thing, Ji Ling attracted all the Xuzhou troops, but instead created a fighter plane for Sun Ce.

Now Sun Ce nominally occupies Guangling, but in fact, his soldiers and horses are concentrated in Jiangdu in the south, and he has no contact with the Huainan army at all.

As Wang Yu said, Sun Ce is really going solo.

Thinking about this section, Yan Xiang and Chen Qi had no intention of accusing each other at all, so they could only look at Wang Yu with blank eyes, hoping that he would come forward to mediate as soon as possible, and if he could recover some losses, he would try to recover a little.

However, at this moment, Wang Yu was somewhat anxious.

He didn't care about the victory or defeat of Cao Bao and Ji Ling, but Sun Ce's advance to the south really surprised him. It's nothing else, the key is that Sun Ce crossed to the south, will he abduct a group of people as in history?

Wang Yu doesn't care about other people, he only cares about the one who has almost arrived, if he is almost kidnapped and taken away, he will really cry to death.
