Lin Sen immediately approved Sun Ce's strategy of switching from defense to offense at that time, and added a clause, a total of four words, to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

Lin Sen has set off from Xiaopei, the goal is to pass through the East China Sea, Langxie, into Qingzhou Beihai, at this time, Sun Ce has just arrived in the territory of Xi County, at the same time, Han Dang led 50,000 troops to stay in Shouguang County, Cheng Pu rushed to Xi County, to participate in the siege of Yuan Shao.

Failure to capture Linzi and Le'an was actually a complete failure for Yuan Shao, not only the failure of the battle, the loss of money, food, soldiers and horses, but the competition for Qingzhou, he would completely fall into the disadvantage, and it was difficult to have a chance to turn over.

Originally, Yuan Shao's strength was far behind Lin Sen, in the past, with the prestige of the Yuan family, plus every time he was killed, this or that thing would happen, he would get out safely, and then with the Yuan family's protégé and former officials to provide him with soldiers, horses, money and food, he would quickly recover his strength.

The reason why Lin Sen didn't make the first move this time is to take into account the people of the world, the princes and heroes, when they killed Wang Qiang before, the two were nominally allies, and the defeat of the alliance was a huge thing, and it would be very difficult to win if they wanted to win.

Now that Yuan Shao has made the first move, not only the defeat of the alliance, but also Yuan Shu's usurpation of the emperor in Shouchun, Yuan Shao's move will give the world an impression, this is the two of them rebelling against the imperial court, Lin Sen sent troops to fight against it, it was the mandate of heaven, the people's will, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and harmony, how could it be invincible.

Yuan Shao now looks back and thinks about it, he knows this very well, not only is it morally disadvantaged, but also in terms of terrain, Beihai Country is extremely unfavorable for defensive warfare. Except for the lonely cities, there is no key pass that can stop the Jizhou army from wreaking havoc. Up to Dongnai County.

Yuan Shao himself thought of two strategies to deal with it, one was to pile up soldiers and horses in the county. Build the strongest line of defense and resist to the death; The other is to run, to other states and counties, to temporarily live under the tents of other princes, and then try to develop and grow in the future.

He didn't dare to go back to Donglai County, Donglai County is a dead end, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out, and it is even very likely that he will be forced to die in Donglai County.

Yuan Shao's heart wavered. He has always been scheming and indecisive, and now he is like this, he does not want to give up the large land of Qingzhou, but also feels that he is seriously damaged, and now it is difficult to compete with Jizhou in terms of financial resources and troops, and the county is very dangerous, and he wants to evacuate Qingzhou.

If there is the idea of fighting, there is room for strategists to play, Guo Tu admonished: "My lord, the top priority is to find an ally. Fight together against Lin Sen. ”

"What's the trick of the rules?"

"Liaodong County is too shou Gongsun Du, although he temporarily submits to Lin Sen, but the relationship between them is extremely weak, and the lord can send an envoy to Liaodong. invited him to send troops to Youzhou, as well as the War Spirit Department of Xuansu County, he had an old grudge against Lin Sen. There will be troops. However, this matter needs to be completed before the battle in Xuzhou is not resolved. ”

Feng Ji stayed in Donglai County. Yuan Shao asked, "What does Ziyuan think?" ”

Xu Yu squinted his eyes, thinking in his head. Said: "I think what Mr. Guo said is feasible, but we need to go to Liaodong by land, and we don't have a big ship that can cross the Bohai Bay by sea, so the envoy must rush to Liaodong as quickly as possible, otherwise the battle in Xuzhou will be decided, and Lin Sen will have enough troops to invest in Qingzhou, and we will be in danger at that time." ”

At this time of danger, Yuan Shao also became wise, and immediately agreed to Guo Tu's advice, and quickly sent an official to Liaodong, and equipped him with two of the best horses, a thousand miles of good horses, fast and good endurance.

However, within two days, Yuan Shao received another bad news, he also has players under him, and the player's news is very well-informed, the Jinfan Sailor finally broke away from the battle of Xu Yang, and is currently heading north at full speed.

The Jinfan Naval Division suffered a certain amount of losses in Yangzhou, but it did not hurt the fundamentals, and the 500 warships were sunk only by dozens, on the contrary, the losses of the Taiwan Associated Press were calculated in multiples, but the Taiwan Associated Press was not afraid of the loss of the warships.

Yuan Shao suddenly felt the pressure doubled, once the Jinfan sailors participated in the war, then the coastal industries of Donglai County would suffer a devastating blow again, and they would also enter the interior along the river, the most difficult thing is that the Shandong Peninsula is now the rainy season, the rain is more and the water is rising, especially suitable for naval warfare, and the defense of Donglai County is even more difficult.

Helpless, Yuan Shao could only transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses from Duchang Guo Yuan to return to Donglai County, under the control of his eldest son Yuan Tan, a total of 200,000 troops, to build a defensive line to resist the upcoming Jinfan Naval Division.

Guo Yuan has also been confronting Han Dang, and the two cities are very important to both sides, and no one can leave their own cities.

The middle, west and north of the county are all mountainous areas, belonging to the eastern foothills of Taishan, the northeast ends are plains, and there are several rivers in the territory, although these things cannot be effectively used in real combat, but the game has expanded a lot, and the hills have become undulating, and the usual kind of waist-deep rivers have also become big rivers, which can be used well to block Sun Ce.

Yuan Shao personally commanded the whole army, Tai Shici was the main general, in each mountain, every river was set up to defend, the mountain built a cottage, the river built a dock fort, most of the medium and large catapults and ballistae were folded in Linzi, and the rest were transported to the cottage for use.

There are also many small catapults and ballistas, which are not useless, on the contrary, because they are light and convenient, do not affect the mobility of the army, and are especially suitable for defending rivers.

In the end, Yuan Shao also did one thing, that is, before the current situation deteriorated, he first took his wife and concubine children from Donglai County to Xi County, which was to learn the lesson of the last time and leave a way back for himself.

When Sun Ce's army arrived, the fortifications of the Yuan army were all built, and they were very solid, Sun Ce personally probed the military situation, rode a horse and walked all day, and when he came back, he felt bad, do you still remember the battle of Yiling in the Three Kingdoms, he is now just like Liu Bei at that time.

Yuan's army held the main rivers in the canyon, if he attacked one place, other places might attack his rear, and there were no warships, they couldn't cross those rivers, ordinary ferries were useless, and they would be sunk by those catapults and ballistas before they rowed to the other side of the river, and for a moment, Sun Ce was stumped.

Zu Mao proposed that the army be separated, and one army should be divided to break through its cottage, and the other army would block the enemy's reinforcements, or like Lin Sen's military order, encircle the point and send reinforcements, Sun Ce acted according to the plan, Zu Mao led the army to storm a cottage, and Sun Ce and Huang Gai blocked the enemy's reinforcements.

After trying for two days, the effect was not very obvious, not only did one cottage not be captured, but it also lost a lot of its own, and there were no reinforcements from other places, which was equivalent to playing in vain.

Sun Ce led 300,000 troops on this trip, Yuan Shao only had 200,000 people in total, and he had to defend separately, there were only more than 100,000 in the mountains, but it was really a mountainous area, and no matter how many soldiers and horses could not be effectively deployed, Sun Ce had sufficient siege equipment, but Yuan Jun also had it, and the number was smaller, but the terrain was too favorable for them, and it was offset to a certain extent, after all, even catapults and ballistas could not bombard wildly, so once the durability was gone, the car would be destroyed, and it was thousands of miles away from Qingquan City, and if there were no these, it would have to be filled with people.

The battle came to a stalemate, and Lu Su and Zhang Hong had no strategy to deal with it, so they could only report the battle situation to Lin Sen, who quickly gave a reply, and the answer made Sun Ce both happy and a little disappointed.

"Young boy, does the lord have a plan to deal with it?"

Since they have taken refuge in Lin Sen, the title has to be changed, Huang Gai, Zu Mao, Lu Su and others have a look of hope.

"Alas......" Sun Ce sighed and said, "I am disappointing my uncle's hopes, and I can't break through this small line of defense." ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Sun Ce continued: "Uncle has come to the news, the battle in Xuzhou has been decided, and the cavalry is rushing to Qingzhou as the vanguard, and my uncle will lead the infantry himself, and then he will arrive. ”……
