When Fang Zhiwen galloped in Guangling County and worked hard to whitewash Guangling County, Xu Shu was dealing with Yuan Shao in a very restrained manner, according to the strategy of the General Staff, it was necessary to show weakness on the battlefield in Qingzhou to induce Yuan Shao to participate in the war.

As for why he wanted to induce Yuan Shao to participate in the war, Xu Shu was naturally clear, this matter must be the opinion of the lord, in order to be able to take revenge on Yuan Shao in the name of justice in the near future, and reap the benefits from Yuan Shao.

From the perspective of grand strategy, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's tacit alliance has redefined the status of Miyun and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, from the original position of cooperation and confrontation to the status of confrontation and moderate exchanges.

They all wanted to cut off Fang Zhiwen's hand that had reached into the Central Plains and Jizhou, and they didn't want Fang Zhiwen to continue to plunder wealth and population from these two places, so redefining the relationship between them became an inevitable choice, and war was the manifestation of this choice.

As for Miyun itself, it is naturally prepared for a long time, and the strategy formulated by the General Staff is to break away from the land and use the sea advantage to maintain the initiative, and breaking away from the land is actually a kind of retreat, in order to avoid causing a direct large-scale conflict, because there is no need for Miyun to fight in Jizhou and the Central Plains now. Now Youzhou is not unified!

And maintaining maritime superiority gives Miyun the ability to intervene in this area at any time. In order to maintain the excuse to intervene at any time, it is necessary to start a war with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and for a long time to come, Miyun and Yuan Shao will be in a state of war, but it will be a state of war of low intensity.

And Xu Shu, who is in Qingzhou to grasp the overall situation, must respond to this strategy and always control the conflict between Yuan Shao and Kong Rong within an acceptable range, and at the same time. By the way, I will also crack down on the large number of Inhuman forces entrenched in Qi and Le'an, in any case, the expansion rate of Inhuman forces is obviously faster than that of the aborigines, and the secret here is that the Inhumans can transfuse blood from the outside, while the aborigines do not.

"Yuan Zhi, like this, he was defeated all the way down, and he didn't wait for Zhiwen to return to Qingzhou. I'm afraid that Le'an and Qi Guo will be lost1

Kong Rong didn't know much about military affairs, so his tone of voice was deliberative, and Wang Xiu and Wu Anguo on the side also looked at Xu Shu curiously.

Xu Shu tapped his finger lightly on the map, and shook his head with a smile: "No, Linzi and Nanfeng of Qi are our bottom line, Master Kong." Our ultimate goal is to compress the territory of the Inhumans, otherwise it will be difficult for the Inhumans to control in the future. ”

"However, isn't the territory of the Inhumans in Donglai County bigger?"

"Hehe, we are blocking the west side of Donglai County. To the east is the sea, what tricks can these aliens come up with? And Le'an and Qi are different. They are backed by Yuan Shao and Zhang Bao, and it will be very troublesome for us to suddenly turn against them, so it is better to drive these alien forces to Donglai County and Chengyang County1

Kong Rong nodded and sighed softly, in Kong Rong's opinion, war is very terrible, and Kong Rong is not good at dealing with war, but Xu Shu and Fang Zhiwen are controlling war, they use war to realize strategic ideas, control war in the palm of their own hands, that feeling, can only make Kong Rong look up.

"Master Junshi, Linzi is not a big problem, but now that Yuan Shaojun has captured Le'an City, and the Wenchou Department attacking Lixian is also a trouble, it seems that General Li is a little powerless1

Wu Anguo's opinion may not be unfounded, at least, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Yuanzhi has been defeated and retreated from the above ugliness, and has not achieved any decent results, but has lost a lot of territory.

"Hehe, that's because General Li is carrying out the orders under him, luring Wen Chou to the Guangrao area, and we will give up Li County, and then use the terrain around Guangrao, especially the lake there, to completely trap Wen Chou there, so as to turn the entire front into a stalemate stage."

"General, the people of Li County have been transferred, should we evacuate now?"

Li Yuanzhi looked down at the map, and said without raising his head: "Don't worry, we are not fleeing from the wind, and Wen Chou's troops have not yet shown their heads1."

"So what now?"

"Rest, it's okay to go and play a dungeon if you have nothing to do1

"Ugh"

"General, why did we retreat all the way, at most to harass Wen Chou? Our army can completely go deep behind enemy lines and completely cut off Wenchou's logistics! Our army's self-sustaining capability is the strongest. ”

"Huh, can't wait?" Li Yuanzhi raised his head from the map and asked with a smile.

"But isn't it, this is not the last general's idea alone, but everyone feels aggrieved and incomprehensible. The lord galloped across Guangling, and Huang Zhong and General Yue Xi made meritorious contributions one after another, and the soldiers would naturally be very envious. On the other hand, we just retreated all the way, and we didn't even fight a decent battle. ”

Li Yuanzhi put back the smile on his face and said solemnly: "The soldiers must obey the order, as long as the lord does not give the order to fight, it is to let us throw both Linzi and Shouguang to the enemy, and we should not have the slightest hesitation, understand1."

The lieutenant looked grim and replied loudly, "Understand 1."

"Very good, go and talk to the soldiers, the big battle will start soon, so don't worry."

"No1

"Report! The forward of our army made contact with Li Yuanzhi's troops north of Lixian and has now retreated 1

"Okay, the Chinese army accelerates, catch up 1

Wen Chou already has a little psychological advantage over Li Yuanzhi, Li Yuanzhi's troops are very slippery, but the will to fight is not strong. They often slip away if they can't take advantage of it, and they don't look like a strong army at all. More like Inhuman troop style.

However, even so, Wen Chou is still very careful, along the way, Wen Chou will never be greedy for merit, always put the foot and cavalry together, and the striker will recover when he encounters Li Yuanzhi, and then use the Chinese army to crush it, this tactic has been proven to be very effective again and again.

Today. Wen Chou's tactics made another contribution without accident, and Li County was easily taken by Wen Chou, although Li County is still an empty city, but with Li County, Wen Chou's logistics line has more guarantees.

After a little trimming, Wen Chou's troops ensured the control of Lixian. Continue to advance towards Guangrao.

However, Wen Chou's good luck ends here!

Lixian to Guangrao is only about a hundred miles, but Wen Chou soon found that the road is getting more and more muddy, and it is okay to walk on the straight, but if you get out of the straight. It was almost impossible to move an inch, seeing such an environment, Wen Chou's heart was a little uneasy, but Guangrao County was in front of him. As long as you take it in one fell swoop, everything is easy to say.

Wen Chou didn't even set up a camp. Directly prepared to start the siege, and then he found that there was a very wide moat outside Guangrao City, and if he wanted to cross the river, he would need to pay a heavy price, because in Guangrao City, the Inhuman troops arranged a large number of trebuchets and heavy crossbow troops, and the muddy ground outside the city caused a huge obstacle to the attacker.

Subsequently, Li Yuanzhi's troops and the Inhuman cavalry troops appeared, Li Yuanzhi wandered not far from Wen Chou's troops, involving and restricting Wen Chou's cavalry, Wen Chou was also very strange, why Li Yuanzhi's war horse would not be limited by the mud, the speed did not seem to have any effect, and his own cavalry was much slower than usual, so Wen Chou did not dare to take the initiative to attack, he could only let the foot horse gather closely.

However, the Inhuman cavalry was farther away and began to try to block Wen Chou's logistics line, and started a tug-of-war with the Inhuman troops who followed Wen Chou.

Wen Chou tried to use his usual moves, wanting to force Li Yuanzhi back, but this time Li Yuanzhi did not withdraw with a little contact as before, but slipped away from Wen Chou's front, turned to the side and continued to attack Wen Chou's infantry with bows and arrows, due to the muddy ground, Wen Chou's troops moved much slower, and there were inevitably problems when the formation was changed, and the coordination between the infantry and cavalry was not smooth, so Li Yuanzhi often seized the opportunity to hit hard.

The troops, which had not been damaged all along, began to suffer a large number of casualties, coupled with the uncharacteristically pressed and beaten by Li Yuanzhi, the soldiers felt aggrieved and helpless, and the psychological conditions of these two troops seemed to have dropped one by one at once.

Seeing this, Wen Chou immediately gave the order to retreat, if he continued to entangle here, I am afraid it would be bad, but Wen Chou's order was late, under the pursuit of Li Yuanzhi, Wen Chou did not go far to find that the straight road had been dug by the troops of the aliens and there were traps everywhere, and he couldn't walk!

Wen Chou's heart was a little hairy, and in desperation, he had to set up camp on the spot, at least this could block Li Yuanzhi's constant attacks, maybe in a few days the weather would be fine, and the ground would be better!

Unfortunately, the sky didn't follow people's wishes, and it started to rain the next day!

Li Yuanzhi braved the rain and took the cavalry to walk around outside the Wenchou camp, although the rain in early spring was very cold, but Li Yuanzhi's heart was hot, the military division was really accurate, and even the rain was calculated, Li Yuanzhi also specially asked some old people in Guangrao City, the climate here is rainy in early spring, it seems that the military division is using this to calculate Wenchou.

Seeing that Wen Chou did not dare to leave the camp, Li Yuanzhi immediately divided his troops and went north, clearing the alien troops who followed Wen Chou to the south along the way, and then directly launched an attack on Li County, Li County has been in Li Yuanzhi's hands for a long time, and Li Yuanzhi is enough to do a lot of small actions in Li County, such as the tunnel that runs through the city wall.

That night, Lixian changed hands, and a large number of disappeared Inhuman troops suddenly appeared, and Lixian became a solid rope that locked Wen Chou's throat overnight.

Knowing that Li County was lost, Wen Chou suddenly realized that he should have been fooled, and now Wen Chou's 40,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry are trapped between Guangrao and Li County, isolated and cut off from food and grass, if there is no foreign aid, it is already a defeat, Wen Chou did not rush to break through, but immediately asked Yuan Shao for help, hoping to open up Li County from the direction of Le'an and relieve the current desperate situation.
