When Tai Shici commanded the troops to attack the South Road of Yizhou in three ways and appeared in Yizhou with great triumph. Zhao Xing, the king of Pingxi, who was thousands of miles away, was the "chief planner" of the surprise attack on Yizhou in the south, and was paying close attention to the situation in Jingzhou and Jiangdong with Chen Qi, Li Jinsi, Lu Xun, Ma Tan and other senior staff members, and discussing the follow-up action plan.

In Zhao Xing's view, Jiangdong because of Sun Jian's accidental assassination, the actual situation has developed in a more favorable situation for his side, and when Sun Jian finds out the real mastermind behind him, as long as the Jin State firmly supports Dongwu to raise troops for revenge, he can tie Sun to his chariot, and he will not be able to continue to be the wall-riding faction that sways from side to side.

There are two aspects that make Zhao Xing more worried now, one is whether the South Route Army that landed in Jiaozhou has launched an operation to poke Yizhou's eyes as planned, and the other is that Liu Biao in Jingzhou has never seen such a big formation before, and when it comes to the door, will he admit to the imperial court?

According to Zhao Xing's idea, this time to clean up Sima Yi, we must let him go to the sky without a ladder and enter the ground without a door, not only Tai Shici and Zhang He will attack Yizhou from the north and south, but he also asked Jia Xu to select a force to enter the snowy plateau, borrow the road from Tang and Qiang, and block Sima Yi's escape route to the west. As a result, only the eastern part of Yizhou was left along the Yangtze River, and there was no Zhao Xing's descendant troops to stop Sima Yi for the time being.

Zhao Xing now has a full and deep understanding of Sima Yi's ruthlessness and determination, and he has no doubt that when Sima Yi finds that he has been besieged and killed by Zhao Xing in Yizhou, he will adopt the method of cutting off the tail of the gecko and breaking the wrist of the strong man, concentrate all the forces of Yizhou to attack Yiling, and then break into Jingzhou to make a big move, and maneuver north to try to unite with the forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Zhao Xing also did not doubt that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would take the initiative to attack and go to war with the Jin State again in order to rescue Sima Yi or capture Jingzhou.

At the level of Zhao Xing, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, they will not abide by the so-called armistice agreement set by anyone, as long as they touch the bottom line of each other's survival, they will definitely resist and fight by the most fierce means, instead of choosing to sit back and wait for Zhao Xing to "peel the onion", clean up the forces on the periphery of the Central Plains, and then concentrate on dealing with the Han court.

It is precisely because Ma Tan also understood this that he proposed to Zhao Xing his "package" plan to solve Yizhou and the Central Plains, although it was not complete and mature, but it did bring Zhao Xing some very important inspiration.

Zhao Xing has always been worried about how to have a showdown with Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the end, and when he launched the Central Plains War, he had to find a reason and an excuse for the various armies, right? Now Zhao Xing finally saw the reason and excuse for launching the Central Plains War, that is, when Sima Yigou jumped over the wall in a hurry, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei took the lead. I don't fight you, you fight my allies and even attack my homeland, then don't blame me for being too stormy when I fight back!

After sorting out the ideas for the coming year, Zhao Xing immediately asked Ma Jian to write a letter to the commanders of the various armies, informing all the armies of his thoughts and ideas on launching the Central Plains War in an all-round way next year, and asking all armies to recognize the missions and tasks shouldered by their own armies and make full preparations for participating in the battle!

It can be expected that when this military analysis written by Ma Tan for Zhao Xing is delivered to all armies, it will definitely cause a lot of shock among those troops who have not fought for a long time. The generals of the "militant faction" headed by Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Pang De, and Li Tiezhu waited for this military analysis by the Crouching Tiger Command, but they waited for many years. Even generals like Zhao Yun and Xu Huang at the commander level are bored in one place, and they really want to stretch their muscles!

After a year of operation and development, the Northeast region has now achieved self-sufficiency, and has even begun to provide food and meat to several legions. After Zhao Xing's inspection of the northeast ended, the combat enthusiasm of the officers and men of the various armies became even higher, and although the main resistance forces had been crippled, the officers and men still carried forward the spirit of responsibility of "cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots" and vowed to find out all the Goguryeo, Samhan natives, and filthy people who were hidden in the Changbai Mountains and the Daling Mountains alone, and either send them to prisoner of war camps for domestication or to work in the mines around Zhengyang City.

After a year of training, the Liaodong Army, the Yanqing Army, and the Yu'an Army of the Northeast Army have all made a name for themselves and prestige in their respective states and counties. It can be expected that when the Central Plains War breaks out next year, the 100,000 troops of the Northeast Army can at least send 50,000 to 60,000 elites to the south to cross the Qingxu land to participate in this grand military operation.

The situation in the north is like this at present, and all follow-up actions still depend on the results achieved by Tai Shici's army on the southern route to attack Yizhou. General Taishi Ziyi never disappointed the King of Pingxi, he not only quickly absorbed 30,000 local soldiers to join the army in Jiaozhi, but also requisitioned a logistics support team of tens of thousands of people, closely followed behind the Southern Route Army, and transported a large amount of grain and military supplies.

It's November, and the north is already a frozen scene, but in the mountainous jungles of southern Yizhou, it is a good time of year to be warm and dry, just right for the army to move, and also to avoid the annoying miasma and malaria.

According to the predetermined plan, Guan Ping first led 30,000 Qinghuai troops to arrive outside the city of Dianchi, the seat of Yizhou County. The thousands of local soldiers defending the city suddenly saw 30,000 soldiers dressed in the costumes of the natives of southern Qiqi surrounding the city, hurriedly made a threat, and fired several rounds of arrows at the city from time to time.

Guan Ping turned his head and shouted at the troops behind him: "Brothers, I will only give you two hours, if anyone can't take this bird city, don't blame me for not giving you meat and wine when the time comes! Now listen to my orders and start attacking the city!"

With Guan Ping's order, the soldiers of the Qinghuai Army wearing rattan armor imitated the shouts of the natives, let out a howling sound from their mouths, and rushed towards Dianchi City with light siege equipment such as ladders.

It was a battle, and the Qinghuai army only took an hour and a half to take Dianchi Lake lightly, and did not let go of a deserter in the city. The casualties of the Qinghuai Army itself were extremely weak, which was all due to the important role played by the rattan armor mass-produced by the Crouching Tiger Equipment Institute.

Subsequently, Guan Ping immediately commanded 20,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Kunze, the old nest of Wu Yibu, eighty miles north of Dianchi, and occupied Kunze within one day, capturing all the 5,000 Yizhou troops left behind in Kunze!
