The war in the south was in full swing, but Li Yunfei led an army of 100,000 all the way north, as if no one was in a land. However, even if most of the cities he encountered looked at the wind and fled when he heard the wind, Li Yunfei still advanced slowly, advancing thirty miles a day, and never risking to break through and make any surprise attacks.

It is said that after the thirty-six successfully took Yecheng, he went straight to Yuan's mansion, and when Hu Yi went out on the expedition, he shouted that he wanted to bring the legendary Zhen Mi back to the lord and dedicate it to the lord, and now he is fortunate to take this Yecheng, and it is necessary to complete the commitment of this brother for Hu Yi. However, there was no Zhen Mi in the Yuan Mansion, and even a member of the Yuan family had already disappeared.

There were only some frightened subordinates left, and after careful questioning, they learned that as early as after Huyi took Puyang, the people of the Yuan family had already moved to other places, and they didn't know where they went, so they had to give up on this matter.

left a general and more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, but he took more than 1,000 men and horses to catch up with Li Yunfei's camp to restore his life. The other troops sent out to capture the city also went quite smoothly, leaving a part of the men and horses to defend the city after taking the city, but the follow-up work was handed over to those professionals who came with the baggage team, and all the nine counties of Yizhou were taken in less than a month.

In fact, it is already considered to be prepared for the recovery of the four northern states, and a considerable number of officials have been trained for most of the year, and the new policy will also be promoted with the takeover of the city by these officials.

After Yizhou was successfully taken, Li Yunfei only rested for a few days, arranged some defenses, and appointed some trustworthy officials and generals to lead the defenders, and then continued not to advance in the northeast direction. The pace of the attack was very slow, but it was very safe to move step by step.

Lao Jiu, who had been in the south for more than a month, finally returned from the south again, and brought back a lot of important news, of course, the most important thing is that there are still many things that Li Yunfei needs to make a decision in person.

“…… You look so jubilant, but Xuzhou has won a big victory? Seeing Lao Jiu's unconsciously joyful return from the disaster, he can basically judge that the overall situation of the war in the south has been decided.

"The main attack is wise, not only Xuzhou has won a big victory, but Jingzhou also has good news, which can be described as double happiness." Lao Jiu excitedly sent a piece of information, which was very detailed, including the Battle of Xuzhou, the detailed process of the Battle of Jingzhou, and the detailed process of Jiaozhou Mulaitou......

……

Lao Jiu brought not only all kinds of materials, but also several letters asking for peace, respectively from Gongsun Kang, Yuan Shao's third son and Ma Teng, but there was no letter from Cao Cao, thinking that he also knew that it was useless to seek peace.

Because when Lu Bu begged for mercy more than a year ago, he did not release him, but directly ordered him to be executed, and he also just knew that Lu Bu's wife Yan also died in the chaotic army when the city was broken, so Miss Lu had a grudge against him for killing his mother, and she would never let him go.

The most interesting thing is the letter of peace from Yuan Shao's three sons, saying that they were completely deceived by Cao Cao when they went south this time, and if they were willing to make peace, they could sacrifice the head of the culprit Cao Cao......

“…… Lao Jiu, you have to find a way to reply to the three brothers of the Yuan Shao clan, as long as they can really cut off Cao Cao's head, I will let them go. ”

"Lord, do you really want to let those people go? Those guys are not a good thing, in the north in order to grab territory, the people who attacked each other made it difficult to live, because of the attack between them is enough to kill millions of people, and the evil they have created, it is enough to die a hundred times. "Lao Jiu, who is from the folk, has no good impression of the so-called fourth world and three dukes.

“…… It's stupid, why are you so accurate when you send a letter? "I thought that Lao Jiu would get his meaning back, but I didn't expect this guy to have to make it clear by himself, so he could only explain one sentence.

"The lord is wise!"

"What's wise, it's just a conspiracy to kill people with a knife, in fact, the three sons of Yuan Shao can't be said to be so bad, they are far worse than Cao Cao, and this time I can't let that Cao Cao run away."

"I can't run, the water outside is impassable, even a bird flies out...... Lord, how to deal with Ma Teng and Gongsun Kang's peace letter? ”

Those two guys also wanted to send a batch of money, money and food for Li Yunfei to let them go back to their own territory, which was of course impossible.

"Now they are no longer qualified to negotiate conditions, let them surrender unconditionally, I can spare their lives!"

"No! And Zhuge Liang made a promise to that Zhang Jin, did the lord agree? ”

"It's just a fictitious position, give it to him, as for whether he can be released to be an official, he has to pass the assessment."

"Understood, my subordinates will do it."

The information was quickly written, and it was transmitted by the flying pigeons that had just been brought from all over the country, Lao Jiu also stayed in Yizhou to run his intelligence department and deal with some people with ulterior motives, while Li Yunfei continued to go north to Youzhou with the more than 100,000 troops who had been recuperated and replenished, and went straight to Cao Cao's base camp, Youzhou is actually not all Cao Cao's world, and part of it is in Yuan Xi's hands.

Originally, when Yuan Shao hung up, Yuan Xi was assigned to the land of Youzhou, and he was only borrowed by Cao Cao from a small place to raise troops, the main purpose was to let Cao Cao block the two brothers for him to attack his territory. It's just that after a few months of raising tigers, most of the territory was unknowingly taken by Cao Cao......

……

The army continued to go all the way north, and almost all the cities encountered were surrendered to the wind, until they reached the right Beiping City (now a city between Beijing and Tianjin), only to really meet the people who held the city, but it was Cao Jun, but they had no way to retreat, if they retreated, they could only run to the outside of the pass. However, one of the generals defending the city surprised Li Yunfei a little, and one of them turned out to be his old subordinate Zhang Liao.

It really makes people feel that life is different, Zhang Liao has not had a good time since he voted for Cao Cao, although he is still trusted, but Lu Bu is not dead, this Cao Cao cannot be fully trusted, so the soldiers in Cao Ying's army are not willing, and for more than a year, although Cao Cao's strength has recovered, after all, it is not as fast as Li Yunfei's opening and hanging.

Gao Shun, who was once not reused, is now an official worshipping a former general, and the 200,000-strong army led all the way west to fight Liu Zhang's and Zhanglu's allied army was defeated. And now Zhang Liao is still just a partial general, defending the city, in fact, he is only serving as Xiahoudun's deputy......

Seeing this situation, Li Yunfei thought about it again and again, and finally decided to use the discordant strategy, although it would be a little disadvantageous to do so, but if the Cao army was to defend to the death, the 100,000 army he brought would attack, although he could take the city with the help of the explosive arrow, but the city gate was on fire and affected the pond fish, and under the large-scale siege of the city, many innocent people would definitely die, so it was better to use the strategy to make chaos inside the defenders first.

In the middle of the night, a group of arrows with letters were shot directly on the city tower, not to persuade them to surrender, but to talk about the old subordinates of the past, by the way, but today's form, of course, there is no lack of praise for Zhang Liao between the words.

Of course, there are also some letters to Yuan Xi's generals, because Yuan Xi's subordinates who did not want to surrender this time in the north have already come here with the remnants of the army to resist with Cao Jun with the help of Jiancheng, so they also sent them a batch of letters, the content is very obscure, and some information revealed, it can probably be guessed that Yuan Xi is ready to take refuge in himself, Cao Cao is about to finish, etc...... When I was done, I went back to sleep.

The seeds have been planted, just wait for a while, there will be unexpected harvests, anyway, a small port dozens of miles away has been firmly occupied, sea ships can land directly, logistics and resources are constantly sent, so it takes a while and nothing, to do it, you only need to camp outside the city to prevent Cao Jun's sneak attack.
