Chapter 568: The Major Warlords
Dong Zhuo went south, this is absolutely unpleasant news for Liu Fan, when Liu Fan is now concentrating all his forces to fight to the death with the Sea Clan, Dong Zhuo chose to go south at this time. The north has not yet settled, Dong Zhuo occupies Liangzhou and Yongzhou, such as starting to attack Qingzhou, and Fang Jiao seems to have reached some secret agreement with Dong Zhuo, and even called on the followers of the Sun and Moon God Sect in the world to respond to Dong Zhuo's army and attack Qingzhou. At this time, Liu Fan did not have any large army stationed in Qingzhou, and the Qingzhou general Zhu You had successfully led the army to successfully join Yuwen Chengdu's headquarters, and now he was about to attack Yuzhou and support Yizhou to fight, and only a small part of the garrison army remained in Qingzhou, and it was not the opponent of Dong Zhuo's tiger and wolf division at all.
"How are our armies prepared? Where has my father-in-law's department arrived? Wang Jian and Le Yi haven't rushed to the Northern Army yet?" Liu Fan's army is basically a group of dragons without a leader, and the generals of all parties have been concentrated in Jianye City to attend the wedding, if Zhang Rang's army goes out of the Tiger Prison Pass at this time to cooperate with the Fangjiao Department that is heading south from Jizhou, then the Yuwen Chengdu Corps will face a devastating blow. Zhang Huai and Luo Chun are obviously not Dong Zhuo's opponents, only Yue Fei arrives, and with Yue Fei's ability, he can stabilize the situation in Yongzhou, but if he wants to completely turn the tables, he still needs strong military support.
"My lord, General Yue's troops are traveling day and night, and they are now rushing to Yongzhou by bypassing the imperial capital. And General Yuwen still has a day's journey to reach the army, and General Wang Jian and others will pass together with General Yuwen, and they will also arrive at the Yuwen Corps tomorrow. The clerk immediately found out the letters sent by the generals and said to Liu Fan.
"Map!" The two guards hurriedly hung up the map, and the officers of the staff department quickly made on the map the locations of each army and the movements of the surrounding enemies, and now Zhang Rang of the imperial capital has not sent specific information. But it is also obvious that Zhang Rang will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity, waiting for Liu Fan to attack him. Zhang Rang will definitely cooperate with Fang Jiao to find a way to take out Liu Fan's most threatening army to the imperial capital. That was the Yuwen Chengdu Corps stationed in Chen County. Almost without thinking, the target of Fang Jiao and Zhang Rang must be Yuwen Chengdu's corps.
Although Yuwen Chengdu's corps has been supported by the Wuwei Dart Bureau and has gathered many masters, it does not have the confidence to confront Zhang Rang. The bravery of a general may be able to change the outcome of a small battle, but in the melee of hundreds of thousands of millions of troops, even if there are a hundred or a thousand more such generals, they are definitely not the opponent of an army that has completed the formation. What's more, Zhang Rang also has the largest weapons division in the empire in his hands, which can continuously provide the army with a variety of different combat equipment, but Liu Fan is a shortcoming in this regard.
"Lord, Fang Jiaoji occupied Jizhou in one day, and responded in Yanzhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou and other states, but fortunately, the strength of the other party was not connected, and the strength of Youzhou and Yanzhou, which was practiced, was too weak. Jingzhou and Xuzhou are under the high pressure of our army, and their shili will definitely not be big. But we can't ignore the square corners of the land of Jizhou. Jizhou has a large population and is close to Yizhou. The people are still martial, and the land of Jizhou is very rich, completely self-sufficient to feed hundreds of thousands of troops, and more importantly, he can get the support of the Sea Clan, once this Shili goes south, I am worried that the Yuwen Chengdu Corps, which has been transferred 200,000 elites, is not their opponent. Han Xin analyzed the current situation on the side, and the entire empire was full of wars except for a few states that were still calm. Han Xin's analysis is very reasonable, if Fang Jiao suddenly joins forces with Zhang Rang at this time and eats Yuwen Chengdu's corps first, this is indeed a big deal, and Liu Fan can't help but pay attention to it.
"My lord, the current situation of our army is that there are garrisons everywhere, and it is true that the strength of the garrisons in various places is not very fistful, and our Liliang is not completely concentrated. None of our two fist corps has yet been able to play a role, and Li Jing's corps urgently needs to argue, while our corps is reorganized and marching towards the battlefield in Yizhou. Han Xin continued to be distracted by the current situation and said: "Li Jing's corps must support our Yizhou operation, and also attack Yuzhou, to prevent Zhang Rang from rushing out, it can be said that this corps is currently completely stuck in the border of Yuzhou by Zhang Rang and Fang Jiao." We lack a mobile combat corps, and all our combat forces are trapped, and there is no way to support the tight battlefield. ”
"At present, Jingzhou is forming a mobile corps, and Chen Qingzhi's department will also be our army's mobile combat corps, but these two armies have not yet begun to be formed, so our army is in a tight war, and we can only rely on various armies to find a way to solve it. Liu Fan's brows were furrowed, this is the embarrassment of too many battlefields, almost all of Liu Fan's troops are concentrated on various battlefields, even the newly formed corps has to face various difficulties, first of all, the lack of weapons and armor, making it difficult for these newly formed corps to have a strong combat capability in a short period of time.
"Lord, urgent military report!" A guard hurriedly took a military report and handed it to Liu Fan, as soon as Liu Fan heard the emergency military report, his face suddenly changed and took the military report, his face instantly darkened, he finally came, he didn't expect them to start so quickly, the liliang of the eight imperial merchants is really not to be underestimated.
Liu Fan handed the information in his hand to all the generals who were gathered together, and everyone looked solemn after reading it, they didn't expect that in just a few days, these people would completely burst out with great strength, and all the spearheads were pointed at Liu Fan, it seems that they must get rid of the Liu family army first and then quickly.
"My lord, it seems that it is impossible for Li Jing's corps to support our Yizhou operation, and we must rely on our own Liliang to fight. Sun Bin looked at the numbers on the battle report and gasped, 10 million troops, this number is no longer acceptable to everyone, the entire empire is only 4 billion people, and although Sizhou has a population of 300 million, but it is not possible to collect 10 million troops in a day or two, but there is a shili that has done it, that is, the eight imperial merchants.
"They have joined forces with Zhang Rang to go out of the tiger prison, and the target is directly aimed at our Li Jing Corps and Yuwen Chengdu Corps. Lord, we can only rely on a strange army to open up the situation on the entire battlefield, otherwise we will definitely lose!"
"Where did the soldiers come from?" Liu Fan's face was very solemn, an army of 10 million, even if it was a pile of human lives, could pile up all of Liu Fan's army to death, this is no longer something that quality can defeat, and the eight emperors once left a deep fear in Liu Fan's heart.
