"I thought that this Li You must be a fierce general, and he would immediately attack Henan Province after advancing eastward, but I didn't expect that now he is planning to stabilize Dugi Province first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" In the camp of the Yuan army, Yuan Zhang said with a stern face, "I wouldn't be afraid of him if he immediately waved his army eastward, but now his hand makes me a little embarrassed." ”

"Yes, Dugi Dao was originally the territory of the King of Qi, even if he led the troops through, many Qi Wang's subordinate officials in the rear would not be willing to give up, and would definitely find a way to harass his back road so that the Jiazhou army and us would both lose." Yuwen Yisheng also thought so, "But after his hand, Dugi Dao was actually pacified by him, not only will it not cause trouble for him, but it can also transfer materials on the spot, reducing the trouble of transporting grain and grass for him over long distances." ”

"And keeping the Jingshi without fighting also makes it a little difficult for us to deal with." Yuan Zhang added that if Li You attacked the Beijing Division, then Arubu's army would defend the city to wear down its spirit, and by the time the Jiazhou army was tired of fighting for a long time, the dean would have successfully taken Henan Province and could attack from both sides to the west, and then maybe Li You would be able to stay outside the capital.

But Li You decisively gave up this seemingly easy opportunity, so that the Yuan army that was preparing to go south was a little overwhelmed, and there was also the army of the King of Shu next to the pursuit, although they could not compete with the Yuan army, but it was not a problem to solve the need to use them; Don't chase it, and only Yuan Zhang faced Li You's army alone, although there were 100,000 troops who followed him south, but it was really hard to say whether these people could win Li You, after all, they still had to divide their forces to strangle the resistance of King Qi.

"Since the Jiazhou Army still has some days to come, then let's just clean up King Qi and them first, right?" Yuwen Yisheng blurted out, but as soon as the words fell, Yuan Zhang raised his head suddenly, as if he had thought of something again.

"I'm afraid he not only wants to take down Dugi Dao, but also wants to borrow our hands to get rid of King Qi and these wealthy families." Yuan Zhang high-fived and said, "I'm afraid this is his main purpose, right?" After all, the King of Qi and the King of Shu are a family, and if Li You is allowed to take down the King of Qi, I am afraid that it will make the King of Shu and the King of Yue even more jealous; And these families continue for hundreds of years, and the power can almost be said to be all over the entire Great Wei, if he dies in the hands of Li You, he may have a lot of trouble in the future, on the other hand, now through our hands to uproot these families, those scattered around the family children will also attribute hatred to us, and in recent years, Li You, the only one who has defeated us, has become their best target. ”

"In that case, why don't you send another envoy to persuade the King of Qi to surrender? Take these families for your own use. Yuwen Yisheng also realized that these families were indeed a big trouble, so he put forward his own suggestions to Yuan Zhang.

"Humph! This generation only knows how to oppress the people and mess with the world for their own selfishness, if it weren't for their Great Wei, why would they end up where they are now? What's the use of them? Yuan Zhang, who has gradually reined in his temper over the years, became cynical when he heard this, "The envoys can be platooned, but they want them to surrender the city, these people's lives may be saved, but there is no need to think about the official position, I might as well use those scholars from poor backgrounds." ”

The hatred and disgust for these wealthy families is one thing; On the other hand, they were afraid of their powerful forces, and if these people returned to the Great Yuan, they would inevitably have conflicts with the tribal leaders, the foundation of the Great Yuan, and then cause super-hearing turmoil, and Yuan Zhang would never allow the good situation that he had just settled down to be destroyed by these people.

"Since Li You is not in a hurry to march now, then we don't need to put all our troops to the west, he wants to take this time to take Dugi Province, then we will also use this opportunity to completely pacify Henan Province, give them another day, if they don't surrender, start attacking the city immediately." Yuan Zhang made a decision.

The whole world is looking forward to the decisive battle between Li You and Yuan Zhang, but the two of them strangely slowed down the speed of the march, but began to slowly clean up the existing opponents, Li You gradually incorporated Dugi Dao into his own command, although Dugi Dao is the smallest area among all the roads in the world, but the geographical location is very critical, with this territory he can go west to the Beijing Division, to the east can attack Henan Dao, take this territory let him occupy a great strategic initiative.

And Yuan Zhang also took this opportunity to launch a final attack on the location of the Qi Palace, the King of Qi, who had been annihilated most of the troops, would be Yuan Zhang's opponent, and after holding on for less than three days, someone should join forces to open the city gate for them, and the people of the major families under the rule of the King of Qi except for Wang Xun escaped in disguise, the rest of the people became Yuan Zhang's prisoners, and most of the territory of Henan Province was occupied by Li You except for the westernmost states and counties, and the rest belonged to Yuan Zhang.

The fleet under the command of King Yue had already arrived at the port to receive the King of Qi, but seeing that the current situation had suddenly become like this, he simply occupied several important places and some islands along the coast, relying on the Yuan army for a while and a half to take care of these places under his rule, Yuan Zhang in order to obtain some necessary supplies from Jiangnan Dongdao, and out of consideration to balance Li You, did not send troops to attack here, but sent envoys to trade with them.

Occupying most of Henan Province, Yuan Zhang also needed time to digest these territories, so he couldn't take care of westward expansion for a while, so he could only hold on to a few strategic places in the westernmost part to prevent Li You from carrying out a sneak attack, and Li You also had to sort out the government affairs of Dugi Province, and he also didn't want to start a war at this time, and the two sides formed a stalemate on the border.

Yuan Zhang took most of Henan Province, Li You occupied several prefectures and counties in Dugi Province and Henan Province, nailed into the Central Plains like a wedge, and King Yue also got the long-coveted northern port, and even the army of King Shu took this opportunity to loot around Gyeonggi Province and took one or two unguarded states and counties, of course, they never dared to go to the capital.

"I'm afraid it's going to be peaceful for a while." Li You said to the generals under his account, but he didn't want to see Yuan Zhang continue to develop and expand his strength, "Although it is unlikely to start a large-scale battle with Yuan Zhang now, some harassment still has to be done." ”

While they were discussing, someone suddenly came from outside the tent to report, "Lord Qiyu, someone outside the tent asks to see you." ”

Well? If you have to not disturb during the military discussion, who can let the soldiers outside the tent come in and report? Li You and everyone in the tent immediately began to speculate. (To be continued.) )
