"Hahaha, Lu Bu's main force is trapped in Muzhou, Yuan Shao is burning everywhere, and this battle is worry-free!"

Qingzhou, in Linzi City, Zhao Yun looked at the latest report, laughed and laughed, and the other generals of the Qingzhou Corps also showed happy smiles.

On the battlefield of the north, south and central three fronts, the most comfortable one was the northern front, which was a confrontation from beginning to end, and there were almost no large-scale bloody battles. The happiest thing was the middle line, the main ace army led by Shang Ji was beaten violently by Yuan Shao's army with fewer enemies, and the southern front army commanded by Zhao Yun was the most difficult army.

Zhao Yun led the Qingzhou Corps to monopolize the three main armies of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Lu Yi, and the difference in combat effectiveness was extremely large. As soon as the war began, Zhao Yun lost Pingyuan County and Jinan County, and the whole army shrank to Qi County, relying on the king-level city of Linzi to resist the alliance's attack.

At the most dangerous time, a section of the city wall of Linzi City collapsed, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Zhu, the three peerless fierce generals, led the elite army to rush and the city wall was almost lost.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun exerted great might, repelled the attack of the three with one enemy and three enemies, and kept the city wall.

It was also after that time that Zhao Yun uncharacteristically took the initiative to ask Shang Ji for help, and after Shang Ji considered it, he withdrew two combat legions from the rear to supplement the Qingzhou Corps, making the number of core legions of the Qingzhou Corps reach seven.

The injection of new forces finally stabilized the situation in Qingzhou, and cooperated with the naval division to barely resist the alliance's attack.

Zhao Yun, as the core general of the Shang Army, is naturally qualified to know the existence of the Battle Spirit Army, and he also understands that once Lu Bu enters the grassland, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will not want to run back.

And Zhang Yan's backlash surprised Zhao Yun a little, after all, he was not responsible for the work of the secret front, and persuading Zhang Yan to support Shang Ji was mainly the credit of Qianhuan, and Zhao Yun did not know the inside story.

However, if you think about it a little, you can understand that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others are fighting with Shang Ji, because these three people have the possibility of reaching the top after killing Shang Ji, and in the face of the supreme throne, no one is willing to give up.

But Zhang Yan is different, no matter whether the success or failure of the war is discussed, Zhang Yan has no hope of reaching the top. And once Yuan Shao achieves the final victory, Zhang Yan will definitely be liquidated, since this is the case, why not take refuge in Shang Ji as soon as possible to fight for a generation of wealth?

With the fire in Yuan Shao's backyard, most of the Jizhou army led by Lu Yi was transferred back to Jizhou to suppress the rebellion, and the pressure on Zhao Yun was immediately reduced. Coupled with the news of the suspected destruction of Lu Bu's army, the offensive of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others immediately slowed down a lot.

Even Liu Bei and Cao Cao, in the face of this rollercoaster-like change in the situation, need to stop and ponder.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are a little cowardly now!

Just when Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others were muttering, Shang Ji also had a headache, and the reason for his headache was exactly the same as Liu Bei and them, but Shang Ji was worried that he was overexerting himself on his side and frightened the princes.

The reason why Shang Ji did not announce the news of the siege of Lü Bu's corps was that he was worried that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would be too frightened after receiving the news and withdrew their troops.

For this negotiation war, the strategic goal of the Shang Ji is simple and great - to unify the entire north!

Liu Bei said that the territory is in Xuzhou, as long as Shang Ji frees his hands and relies on a powerful sailor, he can take Liu Bei at any time. But Cao Cao is different, Cao Cao's core is in Luoyang, and Luoyang has Xiongguan to obstruct it, so he finally took advantage of this opportunity to lure Cao Cao's main army out, if he let him run again, it will be difficult in the future.

Recruiting Zhang Yan was one of Shang Ji's scheduled plans, but what Shang Ji didn't expect was that Zhang Yan was too familiar with current affairs, and he quickly put it into effect before Shang Ji made a move, and set fire to Yuan Shao's backyard, which was the main force in the negotiation, which directly disrupted Shang Ji's strategic deployment.

Just when Shang Ji was thinking hard about how to renew Cao Cao and them, so that they felt that they could be rescued again, the accident came again!

Perhaps stimulated by Zhang Yan, Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie, who had been riding the wall, suddenly expressed his stance and made an appeal to value peace and turn hostility into jade silk, and at the same time turned the achievements of Shang Ji over the years to publicize and publicize, and emphasized that such a highly meritorious and loyal minister, how could he have the heart to seek the throne? The princes must have misunderstood!

Although everyone knows that this is farting, the meaning of it cannot be ignored.

Before Zhang Yan, the coalition army was huge, except for Cao Cao and other princes who sent heavy troops to crusade, others such as Liu Biao and others were also waving their flags and shouting, as if Shang Ji was really the devil that everyone shouted and beat. Now Shi Xie suddenly expressed his position, seemingly neutral, but in fact he was already biased towards Shang Ji's side.

Jiaozhou is remote and desolate, and Shixie, the pastor of Jiaozhou, is a bag of anger, and he is powerless to affect the situation in the Central Plains, but his statement also further shakes the determination of Cao Cao and others to resist.

Shi Xie was proud, thinking that it was good to sell Shang Ji, but he didn't know that Shang Ji wanted to beat him up at this time!

"Guys, do you have any good ways to give Cao Cao and them the confidence to continue fighting?"

After hearing Shang Ji's question, everyone looked at each other.

If they want to boost the confidence of their army, they have a hundred ways, but now there is really no good way to cheer up the enemy.

"Or, let's spread rumors that the expeditionary force led by General Liu has been frustrated?"

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, someone immediately retorted: "Cao Liu and others are not blind, and General Liu is like a bamboo in the Japanese country, and someone must believe that the attack is frustrated!" ”

Everyone discussed for a while, but they didn't come up with a feasible message.

Suddenly, he said: "Lord, since this road is not passable, then we might as well go the opposite way and release rumors, saying that Diao Chan is taking advantage of the lord's divine power and wants to serve the lord." And according to the order of the lord, he is about to send a surprise army to conquer Luoyang and cut off Cao Cao's back road.

In this way, Cao Thief must have panicked and hurried back to his teacher. We adopted the strategy of "letting Cao attack Liu" and let Cao Cao's army leave on its own.

At the same time, select elite and strong soldiers, take the naval division battleship, land from Donghai County, Xuzhou before Liu Bei's withdrawal, cut off Liu Bei's army's back road, and then order the Qingzhou Army to counterattack and eliminate Liu Bei's group in the north and south. ”

Shang Ji Zou frowned and looked at the map for a while, and then said: "It can only be like this now, the general will order, immediately announce to the outside world, just say that Lu Bu's corps has been captured, and is currently on the way to Xiangping (bragging, in fact, Lu Bu is still insisting), and ordered Gao Shun to immediately release and detain our personnel, and lead the people to surrender."

Order, spreading rumors that Diao Chan has surrendered to our army.

Ordered, the main force of Gaoliucheng immediately went south, and ordered Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army to attack to the east, and cooperate with our main army to annihilate Yuan Shao's main force as soon as possible.

Ordered, the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard to prepare for the battle; The Qingzhou Corps was ready for a counteroffensive, and once the enemy showed signs of retreat, the Qingzhou Corps gave priority to dragging Liu Beijun. ”
