Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Yang Tian did not stay active in Qian County for too long, and such a high-intensity sports battle could not be persisted for a long time for him. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) However, those divine envoy guards are very perverted, and they have not shown fatigue after fighting for so long.
After visiting nearly twenty households, Yang Tian left from Qiaoxian County, leaving behind a bleak city and the army that stayed behind to defend the city. This time the basket is really big enough, if the city is lost, their responsibility may not be too great, and no one will even hold them responsible. But the current situation is that the city still exists, but the mansions of those dignitaries in the city have been plundered, and even the city lord's mansion where Yuan Shu lives has not been spared. Especially those generals who were fighting abroad, when they learned that their families left in the city of Qian County had been taken captive, one can imagine how terrible their anger would be. In order to appease the anger of these important people, Yuan Shu would definitely not mind taking a few generals to defend the city as substitutes for the dead ghosts.
Of course, Yang Tian didn't pay attention to this, and after he swaggered away from Qian County on a firebird, he found a place to rest. The next day, during the day, he visited a county town in Yuzhou again, and the same tragedy was repeated in this county town.
Yuan Shu, who had originally returned to Qian County to clean up the mess, was almost so angry that he vomited blood when he heard the news. Now he can't suppress this news, it has spread to the front line of the war, and it has already had a certain impact on the morale of the army. If the situation is allowed to continue to unfold, where will the army in front still have the heart to kill the enemy? It's not bad if you don't run away.
But Yang Tian was too slippery, and the target of the action alone was very small, even if Yuan Shu wanted to prevent it. There's no way to start. What's more, the strength of Yang Tian's team is extremely strong. It was impossible for Yuan Shu to organize a team to compete with it.
In desperation, Yuan Shu had no choice but to think of a way that was not a solution, to let the officials and their families living in various cities find some inconspicuous places to hide, and not to live in those deep mansion compounds, so as to avoid being attacked by Yang Tian.
This method was not something he came up with, because before he was ready to attack Yangzhou, he was worried that Yang Tian would adopt a slashing tactic and directly attack Qian County with a revenge mentality. And with Yang Tian's usual approach. Attacking a city is necessarily a direct attack on the city lord's mansion. Therefore, one of his advisers built a house, and he found an ordinary house to hide his family, and even he himself hid in the house. This allowed him to escape the previous catastrophe.
He had escaped, but his men had not been so lucky. But in order to prevent this situation from spreading, he also contributed this method.
Now that the upper echelons of the entire Yuzhou have all experienced the life of the poor people, and at the same time, they have also buried a shadow on Baiyun City in their hearts. Many people agree that Baiyun City can't be beaten, this is not! His own army had just reached the edge of Baiyun City's territory. The whole of Yuzhou was on fire everywhere. If it really provokes Baiyun City, what kind of result will it be?
After Yang Tian's trouble, the people in Yuzhou were very resentful, and the morale of the generals in front plummeted, which cast a shadow on Yuan Shu's heart. Now he only hopes that his army can compete for strength and open up the situation in Yangzhou as soon as possible. As long as they fought the war in Yangzhou well, Yuan Shu believed that Yang Tian would never continue to stay in Yuzhou.
However, when the Yuzhou side put on a posture of being strong and clear, Yang Tian had already left Yuzhou. Yuan Shu doesn't know for the time being.
The reason why Yang Tian left Yuzhou so quickly was naturally for a reason. Since this time, Yuzhou and Jingzhou jointly attacked Baiyun City. He can't favor one over the other, can he? On the other hand, Yang Tian got the news that the main army of Baiyun City had already fought a fierce battle with the Jingzhou army yesterday. The two sides fought fiercely over the four cities.
After a bloody battle, the two armies captured the target city, and the other two armies continued to fight. This is not to say that the combat effectiveness of Baiyun City's side has weakened, but that the combat style of the Jingzhou army on the two roads is simply not afraid of death, and they are completely blocking the way of the Baiyun City army with their lives. Baiyun City has never shown weakness, so the battle between the two sides is extremely bloody, and a day has passed, and the two sides are still engaged in fierce street battles.
For this result, Yang Tian was naturally very distressed, he had some psychological preparations for this battle, but after this battle, the losses of the six main army corps were close to one million, which was not what he wanted to see. Yang Tian knew very well that the reason why these Jingzhou troops had such a strong will to fight was because they were very loyal to Liu Biao. And the only way to weaken their spiritual sustenance is to attack Liu Biao's prestige.
Therefore, Yang Tian immediately left Yuzhou and went straight to Jingzhou, his purpose was to take Xiangyang, the capital of Jingzhou. As for whether he can directly meet Liu Biao this time, Yang Tian no longer has much hope.
……
At the same time, the troops sent by Cao Cao to Yizhou and Zhang Lu's forces finally handed over hands, and the strength of Cao Cao's army was indeed not comparable to Liu Zhang, whether it was combat quality or personal strength, Cao Cao's soldiers were far superior to Liu Zhang. Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, Zhang Lu suffered a big loss.
Zhang Lu knew that he was invincible to Cao Cao, so he had to withdraw his troops backwards, intending to defend against the danger. However, Cao Cao didn't want to spend too much time with Zhang Lu, and the leader of this army, Xiahou Yuan, had already received orders from the lord Cao Cao to fight before he came out. So when Zhang Lu withdrew his troops, he also bit it tightly.
This Zhang Lu's home advantage is reflected, and Zhang Lu's forces are located in the northern region of Yizhou, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Xiahou Yuan, who is anxious, has suffered a lot of losses here. Fortunately, he still has a lot of combat experience, and he immediately let the army retreat, which is not a bone-wrenching injury.
This retreat was not tight, but the previous plan to decide on the war was completely frustrated. After Zhang Lu eased up, he would inevitably build fortifications along the way, and in this steep mountain forest, if he had to add fortifications, this battle would have to be fought. Unless Xiahou Yuan had Yang Tian's magical ability to transfer troops, he could only rush forward one by one.
After Xiahou Yuan reported this situation back to Cao Cao, Cao Cao also had a headache, and if the problem here was not solved, it would be very unfavorable to Cao Cao's next alliance plan. According to Cao Cao's idea, as long as he helped Liu Zhang take down Zhang Lu in one fell swoop, and then took advantage of the situation to quell the Liufeng Alliance, his prestige would be greatly increased, and then he would take this opportunity to form an alliance with other indigenous forces to fight against Baiyun City. Their side's odds of winning will increase dramatically. As for how he would arrange these aboriginal forces allied with him after defeating Baiyun City! There is no need to bother with any brains at all, the ancients had a good saying, and those who go along will prosper and those who rebel will die! Is there a second way to go?
