Chapter 146
Baili Wuji's intention is to force Guo Rong to negotiate peacefully, but he can't force it too tightly, if it is too much, with Guo Rong's character, he may not be able to break the net, this is not the purpose of Baili Wuji.
Now for Baili Wuji, the existence of Zhou and Guo Wei is needed, and they need to contain Liao.
Although the battle outside Xuzhou was out of the control of Baili Wuji, but now, the situation has begun to become controllable, and Baili Wuji will naturally not easily let the situation get out of control.
Baili Wuji ordered Baili Kang to restrain the soldiers of the Special Operations Army, to be on strict alert but not to attack without authorization.
Now we need to wait, wait for Guo Wei to take the initiative to ask for peace talks.
Baili Wuji is not afraid of other armies of the Zhou State coming to Xuzhou to reinforce Guo Wei, with Liu Renzhen and Baili Yi two armies to contain, the Zhou State can not distinguish many soldiers and horses to come to Xuzhou, and as long as they defend Xuzhou, with the advantage of firearms, the cavalry of the Zhou army will not be able to exert their power in the siege battle.
As a result, in the confrontation between the two armies, Xuzhou City did not fight for ten consecutive days, and it was a peaceful scene.
What Baili Wuji didn't expect was that Baili Yi didn't think so.
Since the capture of Yi and Mi Prefectures, Bailiyi's fighting spirit began to swell, and he aimed at a greater result, Qingzhou.
Qingzhou is the seat of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, since the Jin State Pinglu Jiedu made Yang Guangyuan rebelled and was killed, the Pinglu Jiedu envoy has been vacant, until now Guo Wei established the Zhou State, and has not been appointed.
There are less than 10,000 defenders in Qingzhou City, and there is no festival to make the town guarded, this information is undoubtedly a kind of confusion and irresistible confusion for Bailiyi, who wants to make great achievements.
Baili Yi chose to cut off contact with Baili Wuji. Led the Fourth Army of the Black Flag Army to the north.
The defenders of Qingzhou City only resisted for three days before surrendering the city, which made Baili Yi out of control. Baili Yizhi said that his eldest man had always wanted to go north to conquer Liao. How can you let go of such a good opportunity now, occupying Di and Cangzhou can open up the road to the north.
Therefore, he wanted to continue to go north, but he began to worry that the logistics would not be able to keep up, but he could report to Baili Wuji and was afraid that he would be stopped by Baili Wuji, so Baili Yi thought of a compromise. sent someone to Sun Guangxian of Jinling Mansion to ask the forbidden army to go north for support, because Bailiyi felt that Xu Shiming was too stable and not as good as Sun Guangxian's appetite for him. In order to prevent the Jinling Mansion from reporting Baili Wuji, Bailiyi stopped it from going north, and immediately led the army from Qingzhou to attack Dizhou while sending a secret letter.
Sun Guangxian received a secret letter from Bailiyi. Don't dare to call the shots. Unable to mobilize the forbidden army alone, he handed over the letter to Xu Shiming, and after the two discussed, they both felt that the matter was too big to hide, so they hurriedly sent someone to Xuzhou to send a letter.
When Baili Wuji saw the letter and learned that Baili Yi had gone north without authorization, he sighed in his heart. Now the situation is about to get out of control again, if Guo Wei learns that the Chu army has connected the three prefectures of Yi, Mi, and Qing. And continue to go north, then the current confrontation is likely to turn into a decisive battle, a decisive battle that will never stop fighting.
Baili Wuji was angry at Bailiyi's unauthorized northward journey, but now even if he quickly sent someone to pass the order, he couldn't stop Bailiyi's pace, and the only thing he could do was to deal with it.
Now that the situation has changed, Baili Wuji can only make mistakes and order the Second Army of the Black Flag Army stationed around Jinling to quickly move north to Qingzhou to defend the back road for Baili Yi.
The Xiong Ji headquarters of the Third Army of the Black Flag Army was ordered to quickly change guards with Chen Yanzheng's division of the Ninth Army stationed in Shouzhou, and ordered Chen Yanzheng's headquarters to go north and garrison Yizhou to make the supply line unblocked.
At the same time, Zhou Xingfeng temporarily led a ban army to escort firearms to Suzhou south of Xuzhou, so that he could supply Xuzhou at any time. The special army of Xuzhou City was ordered to be under martial law, and the city gate was closed tightly to prevent the Zhou army from suddenly attacking the city.
After giving the order, Baili Wuji exhaled a sigh of relief, although Baili Yi went north without authorization, but Baili Wuji did not explicitly order that he could not go north, now is not the time to punish Baili Yi, but to ensure the safety of the army led by Baili Yihe.
From Yizhou all the way to Cangzhou, the distance is more than 2,000 miles, such a narrow supply line, this is a test for the Chu army, and all that Wuji can do is to deploy the army and prevent the Zhou army from being cut off.
Bailiyi, I hope you go well and come back safely. Baili Wuji said silently in his heart.
Guo Wei got the news a day later than Baili Wuji, maybe it was the inconvenience of transmitting the news after the fall of these states, or the subconscious good news was not reported, in short, the news was a day late.
But this did not affect Guo Wei's anger, he felt that he had a feeling of being deceived, this Baili boy wanted to negotiate peace with me on the one hand, but on the other hand, he sent troops to attack the depth of the Zhou State.
Is it unbearable or unbearable, isn't it just a fight to break the net?
Guo Wei quickly ordered that the Taining Jiedu of Yanzhou made Murong Yanchao lead an army of 20,000 from Qizhou to attack Qingzhou and cut off the back route of the Chu army.
Ling Tianping Jiedu made Fu Yanqing reinforce Dizhou from Qizhou.
Henghai Jiedu ordered Pan Yu to go south to Dizhou, join forces with Murong Yanchao by the Yellow River, and block the Chu army north of the Yellow River.
At the same time, the army led by the order was reorganized and prepared to attack Xuzhou City early tomorrow morning.
Both Chu and Tuesday have mobilized more than 100,000 troops this time, and the situation is becoming more and more uncontrollable.
Although Baili Wuji had no intention of fighting Guo Wei, the war was out of control at the beginning. Since the vicious battle cannot be avoided, then let's talk about the battle, Baili Wuji has the courage to go against the current.
Although Guo Wei has the heart to negotiate peace, he has been cornered. Since he can't be good anymore, let's fight against the water, Guo Wei has the courage to break the kettle.
For a time, there was a lot of noise outside the city of Xuzhou, and a vicious battle was inevitable. The people began to pack their belongings and prepare to flee.
That's often the case, providence makes people.
Just the next morning, just as Guo Wei had completed the formation of the army and was going to attack Xuzhou City, a sudden change made Guo Wei no longer have the heart to attack Xuzhou City, and the only thing he thought of was to negotiate peace with Baili Wuji, even if he had no face, it was better than the destruction of Zhou.
When Guo Wei's messenger came to Baili Wuji in Xuzhou City, Baili Wuji also got the news that the Liao army began to move south again, and Baili Wuji didn't want to fight with Guo Wei after cheapening the Liao people.
The night before, they were still preparing to fight each other to the death, and today, they are about to sit together to discuss peace talks, which is not ironic.
Unlike Shi Jingtang before, this time it was Liu Min of the Northern Han Dynasty who cooperated with the Liao people to go south.
Maybe he is from Shatuo with Shi Jingtang, and he has no nerve to know the shame of the Dao, Liu Min contacted Yelu Ruan to go south to attack the Zhou State together after being regarded as a nephew by Yelu Ruan, Liu Min is to avenge the murder of his son, and Yelu Ruan wants to find another emperor, and by the way, "fight the grass valley".
