"How's Chen Liu?"

"General Sun sent news from Chenliu early in the morning that Cao's army is now guarding along the riverbank, obviously in a state of defense.

The same is true of the area around Runan, between the mobilization of Cao's army, and his troops should suspend the attack on the neighboring counties of Yanzhou and others!

The battle situation in Yingchuan came from Cao Cao and the people in Cao Ying, and they were very worried.

If there is no matter of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu can be advanced, so that Jun Zu can lead his troops to quickly obtain the land in the south of Chenliu, and wave his army to the south!

Now the situation of Pi is also an opportunity for you to break through Lu Bu's various ways!"

After Liu Qi unfolded the map, Guo Jia informed him of the latest military report.

According to the letter sent by Tao Qian, the Ministry of Jiangdong can be obstructed for the time being. But with the opposition of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, that is, the battle in Xiapi, it was indeed a good opportunity to defeat Lu Bu.

can think of Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, each in Xuzhou, whether it is Liu Qi or Guo Jia, they can see the hidden crisis.

That is, with the convergence of the two departments, Lu Buxu was difficult to stop, and the important land of the lower Pi was taken by him.

Therefore, it became very urgent to strike first, and break Lu Bu to get the important part of it.

"Fengxiao, I plan to use General Fang's troops, as well as other Xuzhou men and horses guarding on the north side, to make a coalition, and between attracting Yuan Shu and Sun Ce's troops, we will gather the main force to first attack the main road to Xiapi!"

Liu Qi pointed his finger on the map and drew a dotted line.

What he said, not only Guo Jia, but also the rest of the staff members accompanying the army also groaned.

The stability of Xiapi City may not be known to ordinary people, but Liu Qi knows.

Cao Cao launched the Battle of Xuzhou that year, but failed to directly capture it. In the end, he had to use the strategy of flooding, and finally captured Lu Bu alive.

And he can't postpone the offensive against Xiapi because Lu Bu will defend Xiapi City to the death. Cheng Dang between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, take this time to seize advantageous land and complete the effective defense of the south.

Lu Bu, who was cowering in Xiapi City, was equivalent to cutting off his arm outside, which was enough to slowly figure it out. This is also for the overall strategy of Xuzhou, and Guo Jia quickly supported this decision.

After a total of the day, a specific plan was finally come up.

After sending a letter to Tan County and cooperating with the operation, the attack in the direction of Xiapicheng can be accelerated.

Two days later, without Xu Huan's military order, the land of Pengcheng was broken, and Gao Shun, who was guarding here, quickly broke through the siege and returned to Xiapi according to the military report sent by Lu Bu when the city was broken.

In the next ten years, Fang Zhen of Yu Wuyuan, as well as Xu Yu who moved forward, broke Peiguo Lu Bubing, and Zang Ba, who came to support, and all walks of life counterattacked in three directions.

Lu Bu was on the north side, and the people on the west side kept retreating.

By mid-February, Peng Chengguo had all been in Liu Qi's hands.

For this reason, it was inevitable that there would be a war with the main force of Yuan Shu, who also occupied most of the southeast of Peiguo and stationed troops in Daze Township and Fuli.

The general under Yuan Shu's account stationed in Fuli is Chen Lan.

Chen Lan was originally a hero in the Lujiang area, and after Yuan Shu was transferred to the Jianghuai area, he took the initiative to do the work. He made a lot of contributions to Yuan Shu to open up the situation in Jiujiang and other places.

This time, Yuan Shu recognized what Sun Jian had done, and went to Yangzhou to settle the war, facing the direction of Xuzhou, and it was Ji Ling, Chen Lan and others who would cooperate with each other.

With Chen Lan in the place of separation, in addition to Yuan Shu's early desire to get involved in Xuzhou, there is also a war strategy against neighboring Yuzhou.

Especially when he saw the defeat of Cao's army for Liu Qi and the emptiness of Lu Bu's rear, if it weren't for the prevention of his staff, Yuan Shu would have let the general Chen Lan attack the Runan area occupied by Cao Cao. And Peiguo is a springboard, with the goal of Deyu and Xuzhou.

It is because in the past few years of operation in Jianghuai, Yuan Shu has reused local heroes to recruit barbarians, and his troops are not small.

With these troops, he not only made Lei Bo and other generals fight with Huang Zu in Jiangxia. At the beginning of Sun Jian's journey to Jiangdu, he gave a lot of support.

Now, after the friction between Xiapi and Lu Bu, Yuan Shu has a formal reason to win Peiguo

, and then take the opportunity to take the land of Lu Bu and go north. It's just that who would have thought that Liu Qi's strength would be so fast?

On the battlefield in the land of Xuzhou, the very powerful Lu Bu's subordinates, when facing Liu Qi who came to fight, the speed of defeat and retreat was also so fast?

It was a military report from the front line, which had just been sent to the land of Shouchun, Yuan Shu discussed with his staff and adjusted the soldiers, and Liu Qi had the next progress.

This kind of speed made the Yuan Shu Department in front of him constantly run around, and he was very tired. Then, in the first battle with the men and horses led by Zang Ba, the men and horses led by Chen Lan ushered in a small defeat.

The defeat here made Chen Lan go north to Pengcheng according to the military order, and the plan to sneak attack Lu Bu's rear was forced to be terminated. What Cheng has seen now because of Pengcheng has been the first step for Liu Qi.

"How's that good?"

Standing on the city of Fuli and looking at a small city with a black spot on the other side of the river, it is exactly where Sun Guan took the lead in taking Zhuyi with a group of people.

Zhuyi, which was placed in the Qin period, belonged to Surabaya County at that time. And it is recorded in the "Hanshu Cao Shen Biography": In the twelfth year of Emperor Gao (195 BC), he and Gaozu would attack the Dubu army and break it. South to Qi, but also set Zhuyi, Xiang, Xiao, stay.

Later, it was renamed Zhuxian, and when it was Emperor Guangwu, the Han Dynasty was revived, and the name of Zhuyi County was restored, and it belonged to Pei China.

Chen Lan looked into the distance, her eyes full of anxiety.

Now the Zang Babu who came to attack, the intention is unknown, but according to the scouts, there are many people and horses, if they cross the river to fight, with the previous defeat, morale is low, and it may be difficult to be a guard.

While Chen Lan was worried, another military order from Shouchun was once again delivered to his hands.

"Does the prince want me to resist and attract the attention of this Liu Xide, so as to win Ji Ling, Sun Ce and others, and break the opportunity?"

After reading the general's order, asking the soldiers to bring the drawings, and figuring out the purpose of Yuan Shu, Chen Lan was actually a little surprised.

He was surprised that if the people of his own side acted like this, they would give Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Lu Bu who was trapped in Xiapi City an opportunity to threaten Sun Ce, Ji Ling, and Qiao Rui who were equal to the land taken by the central and southern parts of Xuzhou.

But these thoughts are only fleeting.

Since the order has been issued from above, no matter how many casualties there are, he can only obey it.

After mobilizing the troops and horses of the various military villages outside the city overnight, Chen Lan quickly deployed for these thousands of troops.

His people planned to take it in two ways, and with their best efforts, they would strive to delay Liu Qi's troops and attract troops.

Steroid Hill, the main force of Zang Ba, is guarding here. To the southwest, Zhuyi, which is only a few dozen miles away, is stopped by his subordinate general Wang Zhengxing.

For Yuan Shu's department, Zang Ba's idea was to defend according to the river pop, and then according to the arrangement of Qingzhou Mu Liu Qi, a part of the troops would be deployed in the direction of the lower phase, and then complete the containment of Yuan Shu's other people.

Unexpectedly, on the same day, just after discussing the military situation with his staff, a letter sent from Pengcheng was not opened, and a military report came from the other side of the river.
