The battle line between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu is very long, Cao Cao knows this, and Yuan Shu naturally knows it.

Now Yuan Shu regrets a little, why didn't he take the opportunity to raid Cao Cao's territory when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou? You must know that Cao Cao was completely entangled by Fang Zhiwen at that time!

It's just that the most lacking medicine in this world is regret medicine, and Yuan Shu doesn't have this magic medicine!

Now Cao Cao has made it clear that he wants to attack in an all-round way, Yuan Shu has two choices, one is to infiltrate each other and form a big war situation, and the other is to focus on defense to fight the idea of fighting water and covering the troops to block, according to the ideas of Lu Fan and others, it should be the strategy of key defense, so that Cao Cao can retreat in the face of difficulties, and now Yuan Shu's strength does not have the ability to fight a big war, because Yuan Shu's territory is too big.

And this reality is exactly in line with Yang Hong's view, Yuan Shu has to admit that, as Yang Hong said, he is not too small, but too big. p> It's a pity that Yuan Shu doesn't have a second regret pill, so he can only sigh.

As for Zhu Jun in Runan, after Yang Hong personally went to Runan to talk to Zhu Junguan, Zhu Jun was reluctant. But he still listened to Yang Hong's persuasion, took his son to Luoyang in person, accepted the position of Luoyang lieutenant, and handed over all the military power of Runan to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately went south to Ruyin to rectify and adjust the troops in Runan, hoping to eliminate Zhu Jun's influence as soon as possible and fully integrate this army, but Cao Cao would not give Ji Ling this time.

On 2 July, Cao Cao's offensive was in full swing. Xiahoudun went out of Qian County and attacked Wuping in Chen County, and Yu She, who was stationed in Wuping, held on, and Xiahoudun immediately besieged the city.

Xiahou Yuan set out from Song County to attack Xinyang in Runan, and the newly arrived Chen Lan did not dare to attack easily, so he could only rely on the defense of the fortified city, and Ji Ling strictly ordered Chen Lan not to go out of the city to fight.

And Cao Cao himself personally led the army from Shouchun and stormed Ruyin. Ji Ling is the same, sticking to Ruyin behind closed doors.

Meantime. Ji Ling gave the order for all the fronts to retreat, and the task was also assigned to the aliens, while Cao Cao was attacking in an all-out way, Ji Ling was busy moving the people north, and Ji Ling's insistence in Ruyin made Cao Cao dare not pursue easily, so he could only let Xu Chu lead an army south, wanting to intercept the people who were going north from Anfeng.

But Chen Ji, who was in Anfeng, sent Yang Spring, forcing Xu Chu to return to Fang Yang Spring. After Chen Jixuan shook a shot, he turned around and went north to Yuanlu, and after meeting the people who went north, he went north to Xincai from Yuanlu, and gave the original deer directly to the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Liang's choice is also beyond reproach. Once Ji Ling changed the previous practice of Zhu Jun to suppress the Yellow Turbans with all his might, it would undoubtedly be a huge benefit to the Tongbai Mountain Yellow Turban Army, which had a very difficult environment, and. If the Yellow Turban Army did not take the city that Ji Ling took the initiative to concede, it would naturally fall into Cao Cao's hands.

As for whether Cao Cao will have a bad relationship with Zhang Liang in the future, this has nothing to do with how many empty cities Zhang Liang has won now, in this case, Zhang Liang must choose to take this opportunity to expand the territory and deepen the depth, and there are other benefits to befriending Ji Ling, that is, if Cao Cao attacks him in the future, he can also ask Ji Ling to contain Cao Cao from the side, and one more friend is always better than one more enemy.

Therefore, Zhang Liang sent Zhang Mancheng to capture Yuanlu in person, and Liao Hua captured Anfeng, directly bordering Cao Cao's territory, this change made Cao Cao very unhappy, although it had been predicted, but the Yellow Turban Army's robbery still made Cao Cao very angry, but now is not the time to directly turn his face with the Yellow Turban Army, at least defeat Ji Ling first.

Cao Cao was most worried that Zhang Liang would collude with Ji Ling, in that case, his offensive against Runan would not be so smooth.

It's just that things will always go in the direction you don't like the most, and this rule applies in the game world as well.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Mancheng liked or accepted the existence of the Inhumans more than Yuan Shu, so after taking the original deer and An Feng, they quickly divided the new territory to the Inhumans, and even the original deer and Anfeng City were sold to the Inhumans, while the Yellow Turban Army only retained the power of garrison and supply.

This kind of stabbing attack immediately made the ambitions of the players of the Yellow Turban Army camp in Tongbai Mountain, which had been silent for a long time, skyrocketed, and also greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of these players, and the players began to vigorously build the newly acquired city, and at the same time began to infiltrate Cao Cao's territory, in order to plunder the population to enrich their new territory, which made Xun You stationed in Huainan and Sun Jian in Lujiang County extremely annoyed.

At the same time, after Ji Ling found out about the benefits of Huang Yu, he sent an envoy again to persuade Zhang Liang to help each other and block Cao Cao's erosion together.

On July 10, according to Yuan Shu's order, Yu Shi took the initiative to abandon Wuping and retreat to Chen County, so that Xiahoudun, who occupied Wuping, would face enemy forces in the two directions of Yangxia and Chenxian, and if he attacked Yangxia, the Chen County army would raid Wuping, and vice versa, Xiahoudun had limited forces but was unable to advance.

On the same day, Chen Lan, who was stationed in Xinyang, retreated to the head of the realm, relying on the danger of mountains and rivers to block Xiahou Yuan, who was dominated by cavalry.

On the second day, Ji Ling, who had been attacked by Cao Cao for a few days, took the initiative to withdraw from Ruyin and retreated north to Gushi, Chen Ji retreated to Pingyu, Ji Ling relied on the head of the boundary, Gushi, and Pingyu to rebuild the defense line, and ceded Xincai to Zhang Liang, and Ruyin to Cao Cao.

So, in the territory of Runan, a three-way confrontation pattern was formed, and Cao Cao, who got Ruyin, was also very depressed, and now the situation is that Ji Ling and Zhang Liang formed a horn trend, and he was trapped in Ruyin, although he also laid a lot of territory, but the results were really much worse than what was expected.

Fang Zhiwen, who was far away in Miyun, had also been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield in Runan, almost every afternoon. Fang Zhiwen will take Zhou Yi to the staff headquarters for a walk to see the latest progress and deductions.

"Lord, Ji Ling's tactics of exchanging time with land should be said to be successful, although not all the people have successfully transferred, but it can take away most of the population, which is already very good."

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he picked up a piece of dim sum on the plate on the table, threw it into his mouth and chewed it comfortably, Zhou Yi, who was beside Fang Zhiwen, looked at it with wide eyes and envy, but unfortunately his father didn't let him eat too many sweets. So I can only watch and swallow my saliva dryly.

"Ji Ling is worthy of being Yuan Shu's general, this time he almost didn't give Cao Cao any chance, and his peace with Zhang Liang was even more brilliant, and now Runan has become a three-legged situation, and Cao Cao may not be so easy to take advantage of. Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shu relocated the population to enrich Henan Yin, and at the same time shrank the territory that was not strong in control, strengthened the control of his own territory, and integrated the internal instability. He clenched his fists further, so Yuan Shu was satisfied with the situation1

Tian Feng slowly concluded. Fang Zhiwen nodded, looked at his son's drooling appearance, smiled and didn't make a sound, Tian Feng pursed his lips and continued:

"Looking at Zhang Liang again, the depth of expansion without spending a single soldier can also benefit from the aliens, and at the same time, it also alleviates the dissatisfaction from the savings of the aliens, which helps to consolidate Zhang Liang's integration and control of the Yellow Turban Department of Tongbai Mountain, and also appropriately opens up the development space of the Yellow Turban Army. Zhang Liang is undoubtedly very satisfied with the current situation. ”

"The rest is Cao Cao, Cao Cao now has Wuping, Xinyang and Ruyin, and the territory he gets is about more than 20% of Runan, although this ending is not satisfactory, but firstly, it alleviates the desire of the internal clan for new land, and secondly, it is also for the depth of the expansion of Qiaojun and Huainan, presumably next year's farming should not be harassed again. Although it was not very in line with his original expectations, but at the same time, the price that Cao Cao was originally expected to pay in this battle was greatly reduced, therefore. It's still acceptable. ”

Guo Jia swallowed the snack in his mouth, took a sip of tea and exhaled contentedly, winked at Zhou Yi, and continued: "So, these three parties should be safe for the time being, but the aliens in the three camps will still disturb a bit, and the main theme of the next Runan and the western and southern parts of the Central Plains is to recuperate, pay attention to internal development, and the hot spots in the Central Plains will move north." ”

Fang Zhiwen nodded, glanced at the huge map on the side and said, "So you have decided to accept President Bai's suggestion and establish a port in Yanjin?" ”

"Of course! However, the lord wants to build a water camp, not a port, the environment there is too narrow, even General Jiang Qin can't look down on it, let alone Ziyu, Ziyu means that it is enough to place a supply water camp there, as for the navy, it will not be stationed there. ”

Guo Jia pouted and said, in fact, Yanjin's status is definitely not as insignificant as the navy said, it's just that Yanjin really has no role for the navy, but for Guo Jia and Tian Feng, Yanjin's role is to give Fang Zhiwen an entry point to exert influence on the situation in the Central Plains, which is very important to Miyun's overall strategic deployment.

Fang Zhiwen smiled, it seems that the navy and the army are inherently not very good at dealing with each other, and now according to Fang Zhiwen's adjustment, the General Staff is preparing to separate an army staff department, and Xu Shu will be transferred back to serve as an army staff officer, and Guo Jia seems to have been interested in competing for this position, so Guo Jia, who has already been the chief of staff of half of the army, is naturally a little dissatisfied with Hua Xin.

"Fengxiao, you are not the chief of staff of the army, and I don't recommend you to be the chief of staff of the army, your temperament is still suitable for the battlefield, so you should still be your deputy chief of staff, and the army staff officer should still come straight to Yuan1

Guo Jia frowned, he seemed a little unwilling, but he himself was actually very hesitant, since he did a few tasks with Fang Zhiwen, Guo Jia found that he actually liked the military career very much, if he was faced with a bookcase and a lot of paperwork all day long, it would be very boring.

"How about I think about this?"

"I said, aren't you so active because you have more opportunities to drink as an army staff officer?" Fang Zhiwen suddenly looked at Guo Jia and asked, Guo Jia blinked and didn't speak, but pinched a piece of dim sum and stuffed it into his mouth, and Tian Feng on the side laughed.

Fang Zhiwen shook his head helplessly, this guy!
