"Lord, there is Lecheng City in front...... Although General Gongsun was arrogant, he was more self-aware than Zhang Yan, and knew that he was lacking in internal affairs, so the three counties in eastern Hebei followed suit. In the past two years, it has also looked a little better, but compared to our Qingzhou, it is still far from ...... after all."

With full pride, the guide dutifully explained the geographical people along the way, and at other times, Wang Yu would definitely listen to it with relish, but now he was a little absent-minded.

It was now the fifth day after leaving Pingyuan City, and along the way, Wang Yu had received reports from Wei Yan, Xu Huang and Tai Shici, and the sharp turn in the battle situation in Youzhou was not an exaggeration.

Gongsun Chan is too anxious, and the enemy is too cunning.

The union of the three Xianbei tribes should not have happened in history, otherwise such a major event would definitely be recorded. It didn't happen in history, and it is likely to be related to Cao Cao's foreign strategy; Now this matter is likely to be related to the instigation of Liu Yu and Xu You.

Yan Rou and Xian Yufu later became Cao Wei's high-ranking officials. Cao Cao personally conquered Liaodong and exterminated Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, leaving the northern Xinjiang to these local forces, Xian Yufu is the Youzhou Mu after Liu Yu, what is Yan Rou's official position, Wang Yu doesn't remember much, but compared to Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan's era, it must be only high and not low.

Because it is a Huairou policy, Xianbei people do not feel the imminent crisis and are still immersed in cannibalism. After Xian Yufu, Yan Rou and others took control of the real power, they were also able to participate more deeply in the struggle for hegemony on the grassland, so the northern frontier in the Cao Wei era was not too seriously threatened.

Later, when Cao Zhang came of age and left the northern frontier, the border became more stable, and Cao Cao was able to focus on competing for hegemony with the Sun and Liu families.

What now? Gongsun Chan is a well-known hardliner, although he has only dealt with foreigners once. But the victorious mountain of Gaotang has long been famous all over the world. Even Huo Quai's illness back then, his methods had never been so ruthless, and while sealing the wolf, he didn't catch fewer prisoners.

Therefore, Xianbei people will feel afraid, and it is understandable to take self-protection measures.

Of course, with the wisdom and information of Xianbei people, it is difficult to grasp the key point of the matter, but Xu Yu can! This man walked among the princes of the Central Plains. His understanding of the situation in the Central Plains is not under any prince, coupled with the conspiracy planning ability and eloquence he has cultivated since the Zhongping years, it will not be too difficult to convince the simple-minded Hu people?

Relying on Xu Yu alone, he definitely did not walk in the Xianbei tribes. collusion, but Liu Yu is very famous on the grassland. sent money and food every year, and also helped suppress the evil tiger of Gongsun Zhan, if you can't get the friendship of Xianbei people, then Xianbei people can't be counted as people.

Wang Yu sighed, to some extent, he helped Xu Yu.

He wasn't upset by that. The Youzhou problem must be solved sooner or later, sooner rather than later, and if it drags on, it will take a long time and have many dreams, as for being used by the enemy or something. That's unthinkable.

The biggest feature and charm of war is that the process is full of uncertainties, and even the old man has never left a word. Teach future generations how to completely control the situation in their own hands, because that is completely impossible to achieve.

Take this battle of Youzhou as an example. I didn't expect Zhao Yun and Wei Yan to fight so easily in Zhongshan, and I couldn't control Gongsun Zhan's emotions, so I could only watch him rush into the trap.

The question now is not to learn lessons, but how to solve difficult problems.

The current situation is as follows: Gongsun Chan was defeated in Juyong City, but the whole army was not destroyed, Gongsun Chan was seriously injured in the fierce battle, and under the protection of the remnants of the army, he avoided Juyong City and waited for help.

A part of the cavalry who broke through the siege and asked for help passed the news of Juyong City to Shan Jing of Jixian County and Zou Dan of Zhuo County, and the two concentrated their few soldiers and horses, and while asking for help from the Qingzhou Army, they embarked on the road of rescue without hesitation.

With more than 2,000 cavalry and about 7,000 foot soldiers, he launched an attack on the 100,000 Hu cavalry who had just won a great victory, which can be described as hitting a stone with an egg. But whether it was the selfish Shan Jing or Zou Dan, there was no hesitation, and after the Second Army met in Changping, they didn't wait for Xu Huang's reply at all, and went north directly.

Obviously, Wei Yan's persuasion failed, not only failed, but also made Zou and Shan realize that it was impossible for the Qingzhou Army to rescue Gongsun Zan as desperately as they did, so the second general went so simply.

The mood they felt when they left Changping must not be the hope of victory, but the determination to die with the old brothers, right?

Xu Huang's response was decent, he divided his troops into four routes, and sent Guan Ping's 3,000 troops to Quanzhou to help defend against Yujin, and at the same time, it could also effectively prevent the enemy from the east from sneaking through the defense line of the east road and attacking Jizhou.

Hu Cai led 3,000 soldiers to stay in Yongnu City to protect the grain route from Piaoyujin to Jixian County, and at the same time served as the reserve army of Guanping; Li Le led 2,000 troops west to Fanyang, joined up with Wei Yan, and suppressed the local forces of Liyi and Fanyang; He led the main force into Jixian County, taking into account the safety of all fronts, and taking necessary actions according to the progress of the war situation.

There is no conspiracy, and there is no need for conspiracy, at this time it is required to be stable, no matter what, the formation cannot be chaotic, this is the so-called general wind.

Comparatively speaking, Wei Yan and Tai Shici are a bit radical.

Long before joining forces with Li Le, Wei Yan had already targeted Zhuo County.

Lu Yi is also a general, Zou Dan is besieging the city, Wei Yan is watching, he naturally does not dare to move lightly, but as soon as Zou Dan leaves, if he still doesn't realize that the battle situation has changed and takes decisive action, then he is just a mediocre man who can only work hard with red eyes.

Wei Yan's plan was to predict Kojiyi's movements, and then set up an ambush on his path, and when he passed, the whole army would launch a surprise attack.

The plan can't be considered bad, but the uncertainty is too high, and once the prediction is inaccurate, or it is snooped on by Koji Yi and used to it, Wei Yan's situation will be very dangerous. Intelligence shows that Qi Zhou, one of the leaders of Youzhou Zahu, led the rest of his troops into Fanyang after the battle of Jixian.

Wang Yu had never heard of this person's name, but since he could be placed alongside Xian Yufu and Yan Rou, the power would definitely not be underestimated, once Qi Zhou and Lu Yi merged, then even if Wei Yan succeeded in the ambush, he might not be able to reverse the trend of strength and weakness, but would send himself into the fairyland.

But Wei Yan is not the most dangerous, the most adventurous is Tai Shici.

Will there be a warning signal on East Road? It's still uncertain, so Xu Huangtong only deployed a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses on the Eastern Front. Wang Yu estimated that Xu Huang should feel that Tian Kai was still blocking Youbeiping, even if he couldn't stop it, at least he could pass on the news, and it would be too late to make adjustments when the time came.

Xu Huang's disposal is beyond doubt.

Now that the Youzhou front is in an emergency, it is overstretched everywhere, and it is safest for the troops to remain mobile and build a defensive line. Passive defense everywhere will only completely give up the initiative.

However, Wang Yu felt that with the cunning after the union of Hu Lu and Xu You, Karasuma Ruo. It is also unlikely that the carriage and horses are coming, and the worst should be prepared in advance.

Tai Shici seemed to think the same way, so he left the defense of Drifting Yujin to his deputy Li Bin, and he sailed east with five hundred navies, preparing to snipe the Karasuma army coming from the east.

Wang Yu rubbed his eyebrows, it's not good. This is another battle of hundreds against tens of thousands, why can't this Taishi Ziyi make people save a little bit?

When Wang Yu frowned and thought hard, Zhuge Liang, the staff officer, was not idle. On the one hand, he took the map and studied it carefully, correlating the battle situation with the geographical situation one by one, and asked several guides for advice on the other hand, so as to avoid talking on paper. The guide's introduction to Lecheng. Most of it was for him.

Having seen the ridge of Le Chengcheng from afar, Zhuge Liang finally figured it out. reminded: "Lord, when you arrive in Lecheng, you must decide the direction of progress, is it to go northeast along Qingzhang Water to support Piaoyujin?" Or continue north along Lishui and go to Pham Duong to support General Chang? Or take the Hutuo River route and go to Jixian County to preside over the overall situation? ”

It's a very difficult and important choice, and there are reasons why you have to go on all three paths.

Needless to say, Wei Yan and Tai Shici are facing very strong enemies, but their own forces are very limited, Xu Huang seems to be safe there, but it is actually quite dangerous.

On the one hand, Xu Huang had to decide when and on what scale to support his colleagues' sub-battlefields, and on the other hand, he could face the 100,000 Hu cavalry who came to him at any time. It is also a risk to put such a major decision in the hands of a minister.

"Don't wait for the return of the Feather Forest Army and the Wind Cavalry to decide?" Wang Yu was still thinking, and before she could answer, Lu Qiling was straightforward and interjected to ask.

Wang Yu shook his head: "After Zilong came out of the customs, his whereabouts have been wandering, and it is difficult to say where he is now, it is better to expect him to judge for himself when he gives him instructions." Actually, I would like the Messenger to not find him, and if he can be found, he will be in a dangerous situation. ”

Unlike his personal guard, Zhao Yun's light cavalry is super powerful, even if he knows his marching route, the messenger may not be able to catch up, let alone in the chaotic Daijun. Therefore, Wang Yu's order to Zhao Yun was the most vague, and it can even be said that it was not an order, but only provided a military analysis for the other party's reference.

Lu Qiling looked back at her team and understood.

Nominally cavalry, the Heavy Guards in the name of Fire were not very fast, as they were heavily armed cavalry.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 1,500 people on the surface, but there are two or three times as many followers as there are them! After getting on the road, Lu Qiling found that the actual size of this small army of 1,500 people had exceeded that the Thunder Army of 5,000 people had already exceeded 5,000 people.

Therefore, the marching speed of the Wind and Fire Cavalry, especially the strategic marching speed, is actually several times worse. The messenger can find Wang Yu accurately, but it is extremely difficult to find Zhao Yun.

"What about the Yulin Army?" After thinking about it, she asked again.

"Then," Wang Yu exhaled, forming a long and thick white mist, watching the white mist gradually dissipate, his thoughts began to cleanse: "As long as there is an order, it will definitely be executed flawlessly, and he doesn't have to worry about ...... there."

As he spoke, he bowed and pointed at the map in Zhuge Liang's hand: "I decide, let's go this way!" ”

"This?" Looking at the place pointed out by Wang Yu, Zhuge Liang and the others were taken aback, this choice is really a bit unreliable.
