Tian Feng insisted on stationing in Liaocheng County, on the one hand, because of the credibility of MeSign, and on the other hand, because of the excellent geographical location of Liaocheng County.

Although Liaocheng County is only a county-level city, due to the nearby rivers and topography, the moat in the county seat is the widest in the surrounding area, which is very conducive to defense.

Therefore, Tian Feng not only took Liaocheng County as the forward stronghold of this southern attack, but also planned to take Liaocheng County as the foundation south of the Yellow River for a long time.

At this time, within the scope of Xuzhou, there was still no large-scale confrontation, Lu Bu's army was still slow, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry at all, and Cao Cao was still stationed safely in Yang Rui's camp for a hundred miles.

Only Yuan Shu and Sun Jian became the most active, as the two princes who sent troops late after the official start of the plot of the [Battle of Xuzhou], also in the name of supporting Yang Rui, Yuan Shu's 500,000 army and Sun Jian's 200,000 army went straight to Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou governance.

The intention of the two is actually obvious, and their goal is to control Xuzhou!

Originally, the main purpose of Yuan Shu's participation in the plot of [The Battle of Xuzhou] was still aimed at Cao Cao, but after Sun Jian participated, he carefully analyzed the situation for Yuan Shu, and the goal of the two armies changed.

As a hero of troubled times, Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, was not weaker in personal strength and strategy than any of the princes, and in his advice to Yuan Shu, he clearly analyzed the most important opponents in the battle for Xuzhou. It is Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu.

Yang Rui is not included. It is because Sun Jian believes that the land of Qingzhou and Xuzhou is enough to occupy most of Yang Rui's energy at present. Therefore, Yang Rui's appeal to Xuzhou should not be very large, but he can take Xuzhou with the help of the troops of Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

At that time, if Yang Rui is given enough benefits in exchange, the land of Xuzhou can be easily pocketed, so the plot of [Xuzhou Dispute] provides a great opportunity for the two to seize Xuzhou!

Sun Jian's suggestion, of course, is also for his own considerations, if Yuan Shu can successfully control Xuzhou in his hands, he himself will have more room for maneuver on the turf, you must know that at this time in the continuous competition with Liu Biao. Sun Jianke didn't take advantage of anything.

In fact, the plot of [Xuzhou Dispute] is not only involved in Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, these princes, but also on the princes of other parties, which of course is a later story.

"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

"Help!"

"Ah......h

“……”

Putting aside the movements of the princes of all parties, Yuan Shao's troops in Gaotang County were defeated, and Yang Rui and Zhang Ning chased them for more than an hour, and the number of Yuan Shao's soldiers killed continued to increase.

More than an hour passed, and finally a large number of Yuan Shao's soldiers fled from Liaocheng County to the bank of the Yellow River, but at this time the Yellow River became a moat that blocked its continued progress.

When Yang Rui was in the Xuzhou region, he used to pass orders through carrier pigeons. Let the Taishi Cishui army on the Yellow River destroy all the Yuan Shao boats they encountered along the river, according to the time. This order may not have been long in the hands of Tai Shi Ci.

However, Tai Shici, as a good general who can take charge of himself, even if he has not received Yang Rui's order before, when he encounters Yuan Shao's ship, the smaller one will be destroyed directly, and the larger one will be directly dragged away.

After Yuan Shao's troops crossed the river, they sent some troops to watch these boats, but these guards and soldiers were obviously no match for the big ships equipped with some small catapults, and there were no generals among them who could compete with Tai Shici.

Coupled with a group of scaly and armored sailors who are extremely good at water warfare, as well as the huge advantage in the number of troops, Yuan Shao's soldiers guarding the ship are naturally not enough.

Tai Shici's navy was actually not far from the Yellow River section of Liaocheng County, and it was only more than a day ago that he cleaned up the boats of Yuan Shaojun's river crossing point in the most downstream near Liaocheng County.

Gaotang, Liaocheng, Yangping three more concentrated Yuan army crossing points left a large number of boats, and were all collected by Tai Shi Ci, at this time Tai Shi Ci Navy has more than 100 captured ships of all colors, more than half of which are medium-sized transport ships.

It can be seen that Yuan Shao is going all out to cross the river this time, you must know that Yang Rui has always attached great importance to the construction of ships, and at this time, there are only sixty or seventy medium-sized transport ships in his hands, which is less than the number that Yuan Shao has mastered.

The reason for this situation is mainly that Yang Rui took a short time to obtain the blueprint of the medium-sized transport ship, which was only redeemed during the player's Exotic Space Battle, and he didn't have time to make much at all.

Another reason is that Yang Rui used most of his craftsmen in the construction of medium and large warships, such as ships, fighting ships, and building ships, and the progress of the construction of transport ships was greatly restricted.

Of course, twenty or thirty of the medium-sized transport ships in Yang Rui's hands were large transport vessels, the Yuzhang Dafang, which were two or three times more than the medium-sized transport vessels, and naturally they were not comparable to Yuan Shao's ships.

This batch of more than 20 Yuzhang Dafu was originally to be handed over to the Wanyue Alliance according to the agreement, but it was just for Yang Rui to use it temporarily.

"Report to the General! No trace of Yuan Shao's troops was found in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Fan County. ”

When Tai Shici commanded the navy to reach the vicinity of Fan County against the current, a group of 20 small boats, led by a senior general, quickly approached, and this small group of boats was specially designed to scout for intelligence on the Yellow River.

There are more than 10 similar Ge boat squads on the Yellow River, distributed in various sections of the Yellow River from Yanzhou to Qingzhou, which were slowly developed after the naval army under the command of Tai Shici entered the Yellow River and Jishui line.

"Report to the General! The section of the river near Liaocheng County was found to have Yuan Jun crossing the river before night, but it was blocked by our troops on the shore, and it has retreated to Hebei ...... at this time."

At this moment, another team of Ge boats came quickly against the current, and after approaching the big ship where Tai Shici was, he raised his voice and said that what was reported was the matter of Yuan Shao's troops being blocked the night before.

At this time, the transmission of information was still a little slower, from the time Yuan Shao's troops and horses crossed the river to the time when the relevant information was transmitted to Tai Shici's ears, almost a day had passed.

"An order was passed down, and the warships turned their bows and sailed with our big ship, and the captured transport ships were sent to a nearby dock for strict guard......

Tai Shi Ci heard the report of the two teams of Ge boat squads, and immediately passed down the order, turned the bow of the boat again, and went to the section of the Yellow River near Liaocheng. (To be continued.) )
