The battle of the prime minister lasted all day.

This time, in order to avenge the past, in addition to making Gao Shun attack, Lu Bu also sent other people from all walks of life.

The remaining Qiao Rui, even though he had many victories in Xuzhou, but in the end, due to the gap in numbers, he still had to retreat and leave.

After Gao Shun got the prime minister, he did not stop the pace of the attack and continued to go south.

It wasn't until Ji Ling and Sun Cebu, who were evacuated from Pengcheng, returned that they fought back in one fell swoop.

Ling County.

Zhou Yu looked at the letter in his hand and frowned.

He then handed the letter to the scribe and looked at the Quyang land on the north side.

This time the surprise attack on Pengcheng failed.

Jiangdong soldiers and Yuan Shubu had to retreat, plus Qu Yang came to fight fiercely after receiving the news.

Some of the previous advantages have been greatly reduced.

However, this arrangement is also a last resort.

Since Pengcheng can't get it, next, it is necessary to prepare for the worst, change the strategy, and hope that Qingzhou Mu Liu Qi's department will not be too fast.

After returning to the official residence in the city, Zhou Yu issued more than a dozen orders, and sent a letter for Sun Ce and Sun Jian, who was far away in Jiangnan to quell the rebellion.

After doing this, Yu soldiers came to report that Sun Fu, the general of Xuzhou who had arrived from Quyang, had arrived at the predetermined location, and his people immediately ordered him to be attacked.

Under Zhou Yu's plan, it was the menacing Sun Fu who fell into the siege and was defeated overnight. The plan to take the opportunity to break the Jiangdong soldiers not only failed, but when Zhou Yu seized the opportunity, the Jiangdong soldiers who stayed behind quickly moved forward, which led to the loss of Quyang, which was held by the people of Xuzhou.

The battle of Quyang also became a tactful victory for Sun Cebu after the failure of the surprise attack on Pengcheng.

After the loss of Quyang, the southeast gate of Donghai County was opened, and Tan County was also under threat, and the situation in Xuzhou became complicated again.

Pengcheng, six days have passed since the fighting.

Because of the loss of Quyang, Tao Qian's request for help, in the past few days, in addition to the rest of the tribe, and waiting for the rear supplies, Liu Qi and Guo Jia combined, slowed down the encirclement of Yuxiapi.

He had to admit that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's cleverness was that in addition to attacking Pengcheng, they could also be prepared, and then took the opportunity to defeat the general Sun Fu.

But in the same way, Yuan Shu was in the Xuzhou department, and Ji Ling and Qiaorui were in heavy casualties this time. As a result, the morale of Yuan Shu's main force was low, and for several days, not only did Lu Bu gain some important land. Even the general Zang Ba of his own side was in Peiguo, and he also won a great victory.

Liu Qi and Guo Jia discussed it, and they had long suspected that this battle of Pengcheng. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's purpose may not be as simple as victory. What's more important is the consumption of Yuan Shu's men, if this can be proven, it is enough to show Sun Jian's self-reliance in Yangzhou!

And this is bound to intensify the infighting between Yuan Shu's department.

This possibility is not impossible, on the contrary, it is very large!

In this conjecture, under the unclear public opinion war, Liu Qi found a way to go to Shouchun to send some words to Yuan Shu through the hidden guard, which aggravated the contradictions.

Since the beginning of June, the entire land of Xuzhou has quickly become hot.

Liu Qizhi's ministry is steadily advancing to the lower Pi country.

Ji Ling and Qiao Rui's men and horses, after the defeat, received the military order from the main general Yuan Shu and retreated to the Huailing area.

Sun Ce, together with Zhou Yu, led most of his troops into Quyang, began to run the area, and launched several attacks on Lü Bu, and another tentative attack on Siwu.

In the land of Jizhou, Cao Cao returned to Yingchuan early after strengthening the garrison of Chenliu. After receiving the Yingchuan celebrities, he recruited troops again, and thwarted Zhang Xiu's attack on Yuzhou. But with the containment of the Nanyang Ministry, even if Cao Cao had the heart to recapture the land left behind first, he was powerless to act.

Also in this June, in the land of Jingshi, a major event happened. After obtaining permission for the imperial court, Liu Bei led his troops and launched a surprise attack on Hu Zhen, who occupied Guanzhong.

Hu Zhen was defeated, lost the checkpoint in a row, and Liu Bei's general Guan Yu even attacked Zheng County.

In the end, under Jia Xu's plan, Hu Zhenqi attacked Guan Yu's rear department, and with the help of Guan Yu's arrogance, he broke it and recaptured the important town of Zheng County. Guan Yu retreated to Huayin to garrison under Zhang Fei's answer.

However, with this battle, the situation occupied by Guanzhong Wei Hu Zhen was broken, and Dong Zhuo, in addition to several places in Taiyuan, was also eyeing Guanzhong. Therefore, the situation in Guanzhong has become more severe.

Due to various reasons, the defeat in Guanzhong made Hu Zhen very worried. At the end of June, news came from Yizhou that Liu Yan died, and his sons Liu Fan and Liu Zhang, with the support of all parties, did an internal fight, and Hanzhong Taishou also participated. On this occasion, Jia Xu decisively suggested that Hu Zhen raid Hanzhong with elite troops to stay as a way back.

This battle came suddenly, and when Zhang Lu reacted, his man Ma happened to be in Ba County. Back in the guard, Hu Zhen's department has already poured in along the meridian road and other roads.

In the land of Hanzhong, a fierce battle ensued, and a number of land was obtained by Hu Zhen, but with Zhang Lu's management over the years, even if Hu Zhen wanted to take it, it would take some effort.

Xuzhou.

In August, Tai Shici was ordered to return from Jizhou and lead Jizhou reinforcements, and after arriving in Pengcheng, Liu Qi's army grew again.

His troops were already approaching Xiapi City, and in the department outside the city of Lu Bu in a row, looking at the fortified Xiapi City, Liu Qi had to flood the city, in order to be able to break down one of the cities.

In addition to the siege of Pi, he continued to launch a counterattack against Sun Ce with Fang Zhen, Tai Shici and other generals, each leading the water and land departments.

The first round of fighting lasted until mid-November.

With the recovery of the rear, after another reinforcement from Beihai and other places arrived, the pressure faced by Sun Ce skyrocketed.

In December, Liu Qi summoned Guo Jia and other generals to discuss the deployment arrangements for the counterattack of the Jiangdong soldiers.

With the men and horses of the lower prime minister direction captured from Gao Shun as the main force, and the other side is supplemented by Siwu and Houqiubu. On December 12, the battles in Quyang and Lingxian officially began.

This time, Liu Qi invested twice as many troops as Jiangdong soldiers!

After Yuan Shu's department retreated and Lu Bu could not defend the city, the Jiangdong soldiers led by Sun Ce, even if they had been supplemented by Jiangdu several times, still seemed to be weak.

After the war began, Liu Qi used the vanguard department to blow up Sun Ce's sailor ship with thunderbolts and other sharp weapons, resulting in a great loss of the strength of Sun Ce's proud river division.

In this regard, it provided greater help for the joint operations of the Xuzhou soldiers and the Qingzhou soldiers.

However, in a few days, after the rear was attacked and defeated, Sun Ce had to withdraw his troops from Quyang, and retreated to gather superior forces and conduct garrisons.

December 24th.

Liu Qi took a boat and came to Lingxian County.

"Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" notes Ying Shao said: "Lingshui out", because of this name.

The army has been attacking for several days. However, with the help of a small group of sailors, the enemy general Huang Gai continued to travel outside and destroy, forming a huge resistance to the capture of Ling County.
