The arrival of the 300,000 elite legions in Jiaozhou finally made Liu Fan breathe a sigh of relief, and after reading the handwritten letter from Di Qing and Ma Yuan, Liu Fan's brows tightened. Who is standing behind Zhang Rang? He can make an agreement between the demon clan and him, maintain absolute pressure on the border pass, and prevent the border army from entering the pass, and even the lion empire in the north, the sea tribe in Yizhou, and the barbarians in Bingzhou have all reached an agreement with Zhang Rang.

"Lord, the entry of the border army in Jiaozhou can certainly make a decisive change in our battle situation, but if the demon clan enters the customs in a big way, can the elite Jiaozhou corps that has been transferred block the attack of the demon clan?"

Liu Fan frowned, the Jiaozhou Corps was defeated in the hands of the Demon Clan, with heavy losses, these 300,000 elites are already half of the Jiaozhou Corps, the Barbarian Fortress is dangerous, but whether the remaining Corps can rely on the Barbarian Fortress to block the attack of the Demon Clan is the key. Moreover, Zhang Rang would not let the Jiaozhou Corps enter the customs so easily, and the same Bingzhou Corps was in the hands of Tianwu Hou, Tianwu Hou was a close confidant of Prince Li back then, and there was no reason why the Jiaozhou Corps would not enter the customs after the Jiaozhou Corps entered the customs, and compared with the heavy infantry corps of the Jiaozhou Corps, the cavalry troops of the Bingzhou Corps obviously put more pressure on the Praetorian Guard.

"If the Jiaozhou Corps does not enter the pass, our troops are insufficient, and we cannot continue to fight on two fronts, especially in the face of the elite Praetorian Guard. "The Jiaozhou Army does not enter the customs, and the pressure on the Liujia Army to support the two-front battle is extremely great, if Yangzhou is unified one step earlier. Relying on the fortified fortress, it was able to block the attack of the Praetorian Guard. Now Yangzhou obviously can't provide Liu Fan with so much help.

Liu Fan put down the information in his hand. The messenger stood motionless, and the chamber fell into an unusual silence, everyone was looking at the map, and the markings on the map showed that the demon clan maintained constant pressure on the Jiaozhou Corps. Once the Jiaozhou Corps enters the customs, it is impossible for the demon clan to let go of such an opportunity, at least they will occupy the barbarian fortress to open up the passage for the next invasion.

Rescue soldiers is like fighting fire, the entry of the Jiaozhou Corps must be carried out, but the demon clan must also be blocked. Feng Wuhou's daughter Deng Ling is in Yangzhou City, is this a signal from the Jiaozhou Corps? Liu Fan thought about countermeasures, if the Jiaozhou Corps did not enter the customs, the crisis in Jianye City Liu Fan really couldn't think of where to draw troops.

"My lord, General Zhou Yu of Huiji City has led the naval officers who surrendered from the Yizhou Legion to the north. Su Lie took a piece of information and said to Liu Fan, who was still meditating: "Lord, the other party is besieging Jianye but not attacking, obviously the purpose of the attack is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, whether to let General Zhou march slowly." ”

"Yizhou's navy goes north to support Jianye?" Liu Fan was slightly stunned, the information that had just come back a few days ago was that Zhou Yu wanted to use Yang Yayue and Yang Qiming as a breakthrough to split the Yizhou navy. But he didn't expect that just a few days later, the Yizhou Navy followed Zhou Yu to the north, and the Yizhou Navy went north to involve part of the attention of the Praetorian Guard. However, the strength of the Janissaries was still slightly insufficient, and Zhou Yu's 200,000 navy distracted the Praetorian Guards, and they could still rely on their strong forces to break through Jianye City.

"No, we can think of this, Zhou Yu can also think of it, he can defeat the navy of Yizhou with the control of absolutely weak forces, and he will definitely not be defeated by the hands of the Praetorian Guard. Liu Fan decisively rejected Su Lie's idea, and it was obviously not a wise choice to take the Yizhou Yizhou Navy to the north, but Zhou Yu must have his thoughts in doing so, and it is likely that Zhou Yu's combat purpose was also to encircle Wei and save Zhao, cut off the logistics of the Praetorian Guards besieging Jianye City, and force them to retreat.

"Su Lie, you are immediately reorganizing the army and leading the army north to support the front line of Jian'an. Gao Pet, you immediately send a letter to Guo Jia, who is sitting in Yangzhou City, and ask him to start transferring all the garrisons in Yangzhou now, and give Yang Wu an order to take the army from the waterway to Huiji City to join me. Liu Fan quickly made a decision, and now regardless of the disappearing Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion, if he wants to untie the knot of Jianye City, he can only transfer all the troops of Yangzhou.

"You send this letter to Ma Yuan and Di Qing, and say they must do it. Liu Fan quickly wrote a letter and handed it to the two messengers, the two took the letter and left in a hurry, the troops of the Jiaozhou Corps could not enter the pass, once the demon clan invaded the pass, the civil war was far from simple, just like why the Liangzhou Corps was now entrenched in the north, not south, because they didn't dare, once the Liangzhou Corps that did not solve the Yanmen Pass went south, the back road would be cut off by the Lion Empire, this is a battle of life and death, no one dares to fight this war easily.

Yangzhou's immature war machine turned again, Su Lie's reorganized army was ready to take the Shouchun Army north to support the Jian'an front, and Jihua, who raided Jiangzhou, was vetoed by Liu Fan. Raid on Jiangzhou, although it can break the current war puzzle, but the only way for such an elite to retreat is to die, even if Yizhou's navy is not active, the current civil and military marquis of Yizhou will still not let Liu Fan occupy Jiangzhou, and the assault on Runan's army has only one consequence, that is, death.

Liu Fan would never agree to such an army to take risks, he would rather fight the Praetorian Guards face-to-face like this, even if the Praetorian Guards have been rectified by Zhang Rang, but there must be many loyal soldiers, as long as Liu Fan can withstand the first few waves of attacks of the Praetorian Guards, he can slowly disintegrate the Praetorian Guards in the future, rescue Ximen Ye, and completely solve Zhang Rang.

Liu Fan's only idea now is to dismantle the Praetorian Guard, these 3.6 million Praetorian Guard soldiers are the elite of the elite, if the loss is undoubtedly a huge loss in the civil war, the Tianlong Empire is in crisis, only by quickly pacifying the civil strife, Liu Fan has the ability to continue to expand and hold this foundation.

"Zhao Yun, you follow me. Guan Yu, you immediately rush back to Lujiang to sit in the town, give you 3,000 defenders to guard Lujiang, let Xiang Yu and others immediately lead the troops north to join me, in addition, I ordered Chaisang's defenders to leave 3,000 elites, and the rest of the men and horses immediately went north, and all the cities of Jicheng converged to rescue Jianye City. "Liu Fan has already begun to squeeze troops from everywhere, no matter what the combat effectiveness of these large armies is, first of all, they must piece together a large army, at least in terms of numbers, they must not lose too much to the Praetorian Guards of Jianye City, otherwise they really have no chance at all.

Just when Liu Fan was still looking for reinforcements from somewhere, the storm had already begun to surge within the empire, and the battle between Zhang Rang and Liu Fan attracted the attention of the Tianlong Empire. Fang Jiao of the Sun and Moon God Sect in Jizhou couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, their intelligence work was far better than Liu Fan's, as soon as Zhang Rang's Praetorian Guard disappeared in the imperial capital, Fang Jiao already knew where Zhang Rang's Praetorian Guard had gone.

"Second brother, third brother, now that the strength of the imperial capital is empty, can we use the internal response of the imperial capital to open the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass and attack the imperial capital to control the royal family?" Fang Jiao looked at the original strong army of the imperial capital, the strength is gradually shrinking, and there are few good fighting divisions left in the imperial capital, most of the remaining are new troops, even the Praetorian Guard stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass is also the twelfth Praetorian Guard Legion, the combat effectiveness of this legion is far from being comparable to the standing army of the empire.

Controlling the imperial capital, their major affairs are half done. The empty army of the emperor is an opportunity for them now, and now their hand is not just the people, even Zhang Rang's newly formed guards have been infiltrated very badly by Fang Jiao, the reason why Fang Jiao dares to propose this is that what he sees is the empty strength of the imperial capital, and his inner should be able to control the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Big brother, we're not waiting. Fang Liang looked at Fang Jiao with a smile and said: "The war between Zhang Rang and Liu Fan can't end in one day, and Liu Fan's strength is far stronger than we imagined, so it's a bit too hasty for us to capture the imperial capital now, I mean continue to wait, waiting for the outcome of the battle between the two sides." ”

"Big brother, don't underestimate Ximen Zhong's influence in the military, and don't overestimate Zhang Rang. Fang Liang's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and said solemnly to the other corner. (To be continued.) )
