Crossing rivers such as the Panhe and Qinghe rivers is not too difficult for the cavalry of the Shu army, after all, the Shu army is equipped with boat bridge troops, which can build a pontoon bridge for cavalry to pass in a relatively short period of time, but crossing a large river such as the Yellow River, the Shu army seems to have more than enough strength and strength.

What's more, after Ma Long fled back to Qingzhou, he did not withdraw his army to the hinterland of Qingzhou, but deployed defenses along the river, building river fortifications on the south bank of the Yellow River, strictly guarding and preventing the Shu army from smuggling across the Yellow River.

The Yellow River has become the last line of defense of the Jin army in Qingzhou, if the Shu army breaks through the Yellow River defense line, the fall of the entire Qingzhou, including Chongzhou and Yuzhou, is only a matter of time, the combination of cavalry and firearms of the Shu army is absolutely indestructible, in addition to the natural danger like the Yellow River, Ma Long really does not know what to use to block the attack of the Shu army.

Luo Xian went to the Qinghe Plain this time, except for the annihilation of about 15,000 Jin troops in the battle of Jieqiao, the rest of the places, the Jin army fled in despair, Luo Xian entered the realm of no one, and easily won the two counties of the Qinghe Plain.

However, Luo Xian regretted that he did not destroy the enemy much, after all, according to Liu Yin's consistent strategic policy, it was mainly to annihilate the enemy's living forces, and the attack on the city fell second, although he successfully took the Qinghe Plain this time, but Ma Long's main force only lost a small part, and most of them fled back to Qingzhou, which is bound to create difficulties for the Shu army to capture Qingzhou next.

The Shu army used six cavalry armies this time, with a total of 90,000 horses, and it really had the potential of thunder, but it was obviously thunder and rain, and the harvest was extremely limited. In fact, this can't be blamed for the lack of combat power of the Shu army, on the contrary, it is precisely because the combat power of the Shu army is too strong that Ma Long does not dare to meet the enemy at all.

Since he couldn't cross the river for the time being, Luo Xian had to ask Liu Yin for his life, what should he do next, after all, it was a waste for the 90,000 army to stay here.

Liu Yin has no intention of crossing the river for the time being, and if he does not solve the Yanghu that is far from Yecheng, it is impossible for the Shu army to cross the Yellow River, and it will be necessary to open up a new battlefield to fight across the river, and the 100,000 troops of Yanghu remaining in the north of the Yellow River are a big trouble after all, and only by getting rid of this worry, the Shu army can be transferred to the south of the Yellow River.

Therefore, Liu Yin ordered Luo Xian to march west along the Yellow River from the plains and besiege Yecheng from the east road.

However, if you want to eat the Yanghu of Yecheng, it is not an easy task, the entrenchment fortifications built by Yanghu within a hundred miles around Yecheng are indeed a must in terms of delaying the attack of the Shu army, although the Shu army has been continuously filling the trenches on the periphery, but the progress is slow, if you really want to attack the city of Yecheng, I don't know if it is the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

"Wen Xuan, it's not a way to fight like this, the progress is too slow, I don't know when I will be able to attack Yecheng City, it will be winter in two months, if I can't fight it again, I can only retreat." Fu Yan said.

Retreating means that all the previous achievements are wasted, perhaps this is the outcome that Yanghu wants to see the most, but for the Shu army, the labor force is moving, and the cost is huge, once the army is withdrawn, the situation in Jizhou may become uncontrollable.

But now Liu Yin has no better way, Yanghu deep trenches and high bases refuse to fight, and do not give the Shu army a chance to fight a decisive battle at all, the Shu army can only advance for the camp step by step, every time you cross a trench, you must pay a considerable price, this kind of offensive warfare is not what Liu Yin is good at, whether it is the cavalry advantage of the Shu army, the infantry advantage or the firearms advantage can not be brought into play.

The current Shu army is like a giant with infinite strength, with inexhaustible strength but nowhere to exert force, it can only advance slowly step by step, and there is nothing to do.

Liu Yin frowned, it will definitely not work to fight like this again, this kind of play is completely a fight for consumption, not to mention that it is impossible for the Shu army to advance to the city of Yecheng in two months, even if it can really take Yecheng and eliminate Yanghu, but the strength of the Shu army will definitely be consumed, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, this kind of play is not advisable after all.

Liu Yin said slowly in a low voice: "If the strong attack fails, it seems that you have to outwit it." ”

Fu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Could it be that Wenxuan, do you have a clever plan?" ”

Liu Yin said: "I can't talk about the wonderful strategy, but it depends on whether Sima Yan can take the bait." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I plan to lead the Chinese army from Shangdang to the south, take Hanoi directly, and threaten Luoyang from Xiaopingjin, if Sima Yan is recruited, he will definitely call Yanghu back to help Luoyang, so that the matter of Yecheng can be easily solved. Of course, this is just a suspicious tactic, and now our army does not have enough strength to cross the river, and it may not be able to really threaten Luoyang, if Sima Yan will not give in, it will be a more difficult thing to do. ”

Fu Yan pondered for a while and said: "This might as well give it a try, as long as our army can really threaten the safety of Luoyang, it will inevitably cause panic in the Jin Dynasty, and Sima Yan may not be able to sit still." ”

Liu Yin said: "I hope so." Yecheng will ask your father-in-law and Luo Dudu to keep the siege going, and at the same time pay close attention to Yanghu's movements. ”

Fu Yan nodded yes, and Liu Yin immediately summoned Huang Chong, the deputy governor of the Central Army, and the three guards Fu Zhu, Gao Yuan, and Luo Xian to come, and ordered them to immediately set up camp and return to the division to join the party.

Fu Zhu was very puzzled and said: "Brother-in-law, you are in such a hurry to transfer troops back to the party, could it be that there is something big happening on the party side?" ”

Liu Yin said: "Shangdang has nothing to do, but Yecheng can't be captured for the time being, and it is useless for the army to gather here, so I decided that the Chinese army will go south from Shangdang, take Hanoi directly, enter Luoyang, and open up another front." ”

Fu Zhi was very excited when he heard it, these days the progress of the Shu army is slow, very aggrieved, Liu Yin decided to attack Luoyang, this is really exciting good news, Fu Zhi immediately went down to gather the army, ready to go.

After the Shu army defeated Sima Jun in the Yangjiban, there was no idea of marching from the Yangjiban Road, but after the soldiers surrounded Yecheng, the Shu army had to return to the party from the Yangjiban, making up for the regret that they did not take this road at that time.

Liu Yin completely followed the old path that Cao Cao had walked back then, but Cao Cao still had a vicious battle to fight when he entered Bingzhou, but Liu Yin didn't have to worry about the war ahead, but the Shu army was not easy to walk, and he deeply experienced the feeling of being humiliated.
