Qingzhou is not as good as Huizhou, and the latter's position is actually quite embarrassing. In contrast, in the territory of Daliang, the boundary of Huizhou, which borders Yuzhou, is only a part of the northwest, and more is actually bordered by Jingzhou, which is the opposite compared with later Huaxia.

Although Huizhou has a garrison to defend, the number is actually not large, which is also one of the reasons why Huofeng can invade wantonly.

And Qingzhou, there is Yuzhou in the southwest, Jizhou in the northwest, all of which are Huofeng's territory, and further north is Youzhou, which seems to be separated from Jizhou, but Youzhou and Qingzhou are the closest places, and the march is only three days. It is almost the location of Yuyang City, otherwise why did Zhou Shaoyu rebuild Yuyang first in addition to Yancheng, in addition to the convenience of the sea, this is it.

Therefore, the entire garrison of Qingzhou has 100,000 troops stationed for a long time at the junction of Jizhou in the north. And not far from Licheng, there are also 50,000. Of course, there are 15,000 fewer right guards in Licheng, and now there are only 35,000 people left in Licheng. However, on the west side of Licheng near the junction of Yuzhou, there are 80,000 garrisons. Not only that, Beihai County, the central point, also has nearly 100,000 troops left for deployment.

These alone, there are more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, not including the tens of thousands of Penglai sailors and city guards.

From this point of view, the departure of the right guard of Licheng does not seem to have much impact.

But things can't be seen that way at all.

Qingzhou border defense, is to Licheng as a point, divided into the north and the west of the border to leave a garrison, if there is a war situation, Licheng can mobilize troops and horses at any time to help. In the case of 50,000 soldiers and horses, it is not a problem to transfer 30,000, and 20,000 people are enough to support it for a period of time. Even if another garrison cannot be mobilized, the North Sea behind can be mobilized. So you can be sure that you can't lose anything.

But with only 35,000 people left in Licheng, it is not so easy to mobilize.

Just imagine, if there are 100,000 troops on one side and 80,000 on the other, if so many people can't bear it, the people sent to 10,000 are basically in vain, and they won't play any role at all, unlike the original 30,000 or so much deterrent.

The so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, that's probably it.

However, there is no doubt that there are still many Liang troops in Qingzhou.

Thinking about the fact that his career is normal, not to mention that Gao Yuyao had been in Licheng for a long time, when he went north to crusade against the Turks, he successively allocated more than 500,000 troops. Subsequently, there were also various places in Daliang that went north to Qingzhou for rescue.

If it weren't for the fact that Gao Yuyao allocated a lot of troops to the south during the process, I am afraid that Qingzhou would not be able to move at all at this moment. The number of people alone is scary enough.

And now, you can still fight.

The fire phoenix turned around and suddenly went north, and no one was prepared. Because no matter how you look at it, it's not a normal move.

The latest occupation of Jingzhou has been reported, and there is no natural danger for Xiao Jiwen to cross the river smoothly, although the troops are at a disadvantage, but many of them are veterans who have followed Xiao Jiwen to fight many times. Although there are many troops on the Liang side, most of them are recruits who have not been tempered by war, and no matter how much training they have, there is always a big difference without actual combat.

In other words, the Jingzhou battlefield will continue for a while. This also means that Huizhou will not have any support in the short term, even if the Great Liang Imperial Court reacts quickly to transfer troops from other places, it will take time. As long as Huofeng is willing to attack the city, within this time period, it is fully capable of attacking nearly half of Huizhou.

On the other hand, on the Qingzhou side, more than 300,000 troops are stationed in it, no matter how you look at it, it is a thankless job, and even if you win, the loss will not be small. Moreover, after such a bypass, it is equivalent to a lone army going deep into the logistics, which is really a taboo for soldiers.

But people are coming!

No matter how much the Qingzhou garrison defends, it doesn't defend the junction on its own territory, this is simply Qingzhou from the south. Defend the north and the west, but not the south.

It's not so accurate to say this, in fact, there is still a pass, with 5,000 people left to guard it, but only 5,000 people, plus the pass is in disrepair, how can it stop the pace of the army?

What to do?

Don't do it, it's all here, what else can you do, fight!

The garrison in the north allocated 50,000, the west drew 30,000, and Beihai County sent another 20,000 to form an army of 100,000 and went straight to Huofeng. Qingzhou is not Huizhou, since you dare to come, you have to prepare for a big war, otherwise, you may not be able to go back.

"Report, the Qingzhou Army was found a hundred miles in the north."

Huofeng's footsteps did not stop, and continued to walk at the head of the city to boost morale. It is important to be away from home for a long time and to go deep alone. As for this small city, it is naturally just taken, and it is not very difficult, because the position is relatively backward, and the standing guards are only 3,000 people, and even before they can organize the young and strong to defend the city, they have already taken it.

Over the years, it has not been better than the general uprising, and the control of the army and the promotion of military discipline have far exceeded the beginning. The army entered the city, and it really did not commit any crime with Minqiu, and no one looted without permission.

If you don't rob the people, you won't rob the people, will the government treasury and the big households in the city still have to rob it?

In ancient times, whether it was an uprising of the people or a hostile invasion, nothing else was mentioned for the time being, anyway, the big households were the targets of robbery. It's not just a matter of money, but there's probably a slightly darker shadow side, jealousy. Whoever made you mighty and blessed, right?

The harvest was very good, Huofeng was very satisfied, and after the morale was boosted, he did not hurry and ordered the garrison to rest again today. What's the hurry, there's still a hundred miles. It's not a fast horse, the speed of a 100,000-strong army, this can't be fast.

In the early morning of the next day, burying the pot to cook and filling the stomach, an order was issued again, and the fire phoenix army actually advanced to the east.

What is this for? Can't figure it out to kill yourself? Isn't this even more severed from contact with the Yuzhou base camp?

No matter what it is, it can't be allowed to act wantonly on the Qingzhou territory, it must be pursued. And this chase actually went directly into Langya County, except for the protruding corner in the northeast of Qingzhou, which was already the easternmost point.

It was also at this time that Jizhou moved.

Qin Liangyu has been waiting for a long time, and finally waited for the day of the war, when he first came to Huofeng's side, he was responsible for confronting Xiao Yuwen in the first battle, and the result was anticlimactic. So in Qin Liangyu's view, this time is the real first official leader.

At this time, the eyes of the entire Qingzhou were attracted by Huofeng's army, and Qin Liangyu suddenly appeared, leading 100,000 troops, launching a surprise attack on the remaining 50,000 garrisons in the north of Qingzhou, and directly crushing this garrison at the cost of nearly 10,000 dead and wounded. Except for the thousands who fled, the rest were either killed or captured. This record is not uncommon, without him, there are cavalry troops under his command!

But no, in addition to foreign races today, the most indispensable war horse is Zhou Shaoyu. The second is Huofeng, how can you not take care of your own people. If it weren't for the fact that Li Xiuning and the others led the army north to prepare to participate in the war between the Turks and the Jin State, it would not be said that there were still people and horses from Bingzhou or Youzhou in the cavalry to secretly participate.

Even so, the cavalry under the command of Huofeng is not so lacking.

And then there is no shortage of war horses is Xiao Jiwen, the Western Regions are subordinate to her, how can she not provide horses. At most, it cannot be compared with the Turks in terms of quantity, and the blood of war horses is different, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In the end, it was Gao Yuyao, when she put aside the burden and divided the places, although she threw off the burden, but the war horse also completely lost its source.

If it weren't for Ashina Huqin when he was still in Youzhou, he took the opportunity to make some deals and get some, I'm afraid there would be no war horses at all. After all, there is still a lot of shortage.

Far away, the garrison in the north of Qingzhou, Qin Liangyu besieged Licheng non-stop, and Licheng immediately asked for help in an emergency.

At this moment, there are only 40,000 garrisons left in Beihai County, and they don't dare to move lightly, after all, the army of Huofeng in the east is still wandering, and they may kill it at any time. At this point, how can you not know that this is the plan?

Using Huofeng itself as bait, transferring nearly half of the Qingzhou Army, isn't it just to give Jizhou at this moment an opportunity to send troops?

As a last resort, the Western garrison can only step up reinforcements, and Licheng must not be lost. Once I came here, it was the place where the Daliang royal family lived, and I can't say when Gao Yuyao would come to live again. Second, as soon as Licheng was lost, they who stayed in the west were in an awkward position in an instant, and they were easily cut off from returning if they couldn't get up or down.

Be careful, be careful, but still be surrounded and sent for reinforcements. Rao is casualties are not many, and there are more than 40,000 soldiers who can fight, but if they lose, they will lose, and the impact on morale is inevitable. More headaches, or cavalry! In a relatively flat place like the north, how can the foot soldiers fight with the cavalry? is too passive, unless the numerical advantage is too large, it is almost impossible to win, so you can only choose a distant location and station, and contain it as much as possible.

At this moment, Qingzhou is very embarrassed in all aspects. Especially the 100,000 soldiers and horses who pursued Huofeng, it was simply difficult to choose.

Continue the pursuit? People are constantly walking, and they don't face it head-on at all, and after chasing it for so long, they haven't officially started fighting once. God knows how long it will take to catch up.

Don't chase back to the division?

How can it be! Huofeng also has tens of thousands of troops here, okay. Could it be that they can't be allowed to mess around in Qingzhou? Or do you want to learn from Huizhou, and the cities can't shrink at all? Let's solve the danger of Licheng first?

What to do? It's embarrassing.

Huo Feng didn't care about this, and when he learned the battle report from Licheng, Huo Feng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and the plan was quite smooth. And then, no matter whether the 100,000 Qingzhou troops behind her chase or not, she has already determined the direction.

That's right, it's Penglai. The purpose of this trip to attack Qingzhou is not necessarily to be taken, but one of the absolute goals is to disrupt Penglai and the surroundings, so that Penglai sailors cannot gain a foothold, so that they are forced to move, so as to liberate Zhou Shaoyu's sailors from Yuyang City in Youzhou.

After achieving this goal, it depends on the specific situation how far we can go next.

When the news reached Jingshi, Gao Yuyao was naturally a little anxious. has always relied on wits and means to play balance and containment. I don't want to get my shoes wet today, Xiao Jiwen is fighting, Huofeng is also fighting, even if it is not a crisis, but it is also quite a headache, fortunately, in recent years, the army has been expanded a lot, and there is still a lot of surplus, and the problem of transferring troops to support is not big.

It's just that......

Thinking of the consumption of money, rice and grain, Gao Yuyao felt a little painful, is it easy to save so much money?

Just when Gao Yuyao ordered the transfer of troops, a group of men and horses swayed and beat Huizhou and entered the Qingzhou territory. This location is relatively westward, in other words, originally not far from here, there should have been tens of thousands of Qingzhou garrisons guarding it, but the problem is, no one! It was an empty camp at all, otherwise how could Zuoba, who was familiar with the military situation in Qingzhou, agree to enter from here.

"I want to come to Qingzhou to have a war, and the scale is not small, otherwise it is impossible for the garrison of this side to leave at will." Zuoba guessed so, and for the sake of safety, he immediately sent scouts to investigate.

Daji and the others really don't know the current situation in Qingzhou, and the scouts were not sent before, but basically they just paid attention to the front and the surroundings and there were no suspicious people, and they could make sure that they were safe. Not to send scouts from afar to find out what was going on.

Now that Zuo Ba is saying this, the three daughters of Daji are naturally as good as flowing. Qingzhou actually doesn't care so much about the situation, as long as they don't delay going north to Youzhou.

Of course, compared to Zuoba, they still know some news. Huofeng's attack on Qingzhou has long been an established strategy, and it has been set early. That is, the three of them are not very involved in the deliberations, and they know very little, but they can always hear a few ears. Maybe I didn't feel it at the time, but when I think about it now, I also faintly found it, but I wasn't so sure.

"Huh? Sure enough, is Huofeng attacking Qingzhou? Daji was amazed when she heard the news. Cai Yue on the side hurriedly asked, "Is there a specific situation?" ”

"This, I only know that a group of men and horses seem to have surrounded the city, and the latter is defending it." In a hurry, there was only so much to discover. As for where Huofeng himself is, it is said that he went to the east, and it also attracted a lot of Qingzhou troops, where it is, God knows,

When the three girls heard this, they were a little embarrassed.

The location of Licheng is located in the northwest corner of Qingzhou, to the west is the boundary of Yuzhou, and to the north is the boundary of Jizhou. If they didn't think about anything else, Daji and the others naturally chose to detour around the line near Yuzhou.

But now it's basically impossible. No way, most of the people under his command are Huizhou people, and they don't have a good impression of Huofeng, they can be said to hate and fear, and the latter is the majority. Really go around Yuzhou, even if it is one by one, it is easy to have an accident.

Then you can only go around the back of Licheng, that is, to the east, as little as possible to attract attention to the past of the stitches. It would definitely not be possible in normal times, after all, there were so many people, but now, weren't they all attracted the attention of the two armies of Fire and Phoenix.

Besides, if you don't go like this, will it be possible to go straight to Licheng and meet with Huofeng's army? What if there is a conflict, I can't say which people's family members will die in the hands of the Fire Phoenix army? Who can say for sure?

So decided! To the east, go around, avoid Licheng, and do not go to Yuzhou in the west.

No problem, no problem. The choice is still good. But......

It's good to die, and the remaining more than 40,000 garrisons originally in the west of Qingzhou happened to be in the way. People are also very helpless, they get closer, they can't fight Qin Liangyu to the death, who let the latter have a cavalry. It can only be farther away, and the direction is naturally backward, if it changes, it can also quickly withdraw to Beihai City, and this position, although the distance is not close, can be somewhat contained, so that Qin Liangyu can't attack Licheng so casually, no matter how you have to divide your forces to guard.

Originally, that's right, however, Daji and the three girls are here!

and more than 70,000 people under his command, plus more than 10,000 former city guards!

What do you say? When did it become 70,000? Ahem, did you collect it on the way? Didn't you see that Qingzhou was also in chaos?
