A few days passed, and the two sides were tense until the beginning of April.

The snow disaster in Youzhou finally began to thaw, and the north of Zhuojun turned into a muddy world, and the earth became muddy and watery everywhere, and many crops withered.

In fact, the reason why Yuan Shao has been going south to fight this year was that he was forced to be helpless. There was a catastrophe in the northern counties, if Yuan Shao did not quickly go south to Zhuo County to snatch Qiantai's grain, waiting for the world to be in chaos, Yuan Shao would be dragged down by a catastrophe, and the competition for the territory of Youzhou with Qiantai would be even more disadvantaged.

At this time, Yuan Shao was even more reluctant to release Liu Boxi, and he had to cede Yongnu County to Qiantai before he could release him.

In April, Qiantai began to send a large army into Shanggu County. Qin Tieshu led 20,000 golden armor troops and 30,000 faith soldiers, all the way to the water to build bridges, and open the road in the mountains. Qianming took 5,000 tiger horsemen to secretly respond, but this time Qiantai did not go out with the army, and took 20,000 garrisons in the barracks to wait for news from the front line at any time. This time, Qiantai also decided to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the southern battlefield of Shanggu County, so that Yuan Shao, who committed in the south, would have nothing to lose.

Since Qin Tieshu led the army north, Yuan Shao's army, which had fought all the way, was defeated and retreated.

On the day of the border army, Qin Tieshu first used 20,000 gold-armored army iron cavalry to break through Yuan Shao's recent border defenses, and then let 30,000 faith soldiers divide and kill several gathering point barracks of the northern army on the border, directly opening Yuan Shao's vanguard on the border.

On the next five days, Yuan Shao led the army all the way north and directly hit Juyong County, where Yuan Shao left 40,000 troops to fight against Qin Tieshu again, but unfortunately he was almost killed by Qin Tieshu and his troops after several battles.

Qin Tieshu sent people to the army to summon the news on the same day, and he had already taken Juyong County.

In the border military camp of Zhuo County, a shrine has been built in Qiantai's tent at this time, and Qiantai has been sitting on the altar for the past few days, watching Qin Tieshu's battle in the north through his eyes.

This time, Qiantai learned the lesson of being deceived last time, and spent these days in retreat to build this altar and personally calculate the chances of winning this Northern Expedition.

On the day that Qin Tieshu occupied Juyong County, the herald rushed back to the barracks in the afternoon, came to the tent of Qiantai through the handle, and said in awe to the mysterious Qiantai sitting on the altar: "Report! Master Hou, Captain Qin Tieshu has led people to break Yuan Shao's 50,000 army and go down to Juyong County. ”

When Qiantai heard this, he immediately dispersed the clouds in the starry sky on the altar, but he saw that there was a military spirit in the north that was high and friendly to himself, implicating the morale of the people in the south of Shanggu County, and had already occupied a county seat.

At the same time, Qiantai could clearly see that the dragon qi vision above his head began to be active and excited, absorbing the people's spirit surging from Shanggu County in the north.

Qiantai waved his hand to the herald and said, "Stand down, this county already knows." ”

After the herald left, Qiantai sat cross-legged on the altar alone, and began to urge the secret method, holding the dantian with one hand, pinching the sword with the other hand and pointing at the center of his eyebrows, his eyes emitting divine light and shining out of the tent and looking out to the north.

The tent was guarded by guards, and outsiders could not disturb it.

In the tent, with the secret method of Qiantaiyun, the magic power was used to mobilize the qi of the earth, and the power of the earth was used to break through the qi of the sky.

There is a great avenue in hand, this is Qiantai's dragon slaying technique, a lifetime of cultivation experience, thousands of secret methods in the heart of the memory, Qiantai is not worried that he can't fight Yuan Shao, this child, otherwise he is not the famous Yin Si Difu Lord Yama King in his previous life.

This time, Yuan Shao's army retreated step by step, leading Qin Tieshu to chase the enemy deep into Shanggu County, Yuan Shao was cunning, and he couldn't say that there were conspiracies. Therefore, Qiantai secretly asked Qianming to follow the army with five thousand tigers, and followed Qin Tieshu all the way without making a move, waiting for Yuan Shao to make a move. However, Qiantai was in the border barracks, and Qiantai sat in the rear to observe the overall situation at any time and prevent Qiantai from taking the opportunity to enter Zhuojun again and attack the west.

Last time, the reason why Qiantai didn't strike first in the last war was because Qiantai saw that the situation in the north was worse, and Yuan Shao would inevitably not be able to wait and start a big war first, so he lost his righteousness. To the present, Qiantai sent troops to punish Yuan Shao for disregarding the safety of the two counties last time, betraying the imperial court and recklessly mobilizing the army, and secondly, to rescue his subordinate Liu Boxi, and the public and private Qiantai occupied the righteousness at the beginning of this war, and this righteousness is the reason for fighting for the world, Qiantai and Yuan Shao fighting, so as not to lose the hearts of the people.

Looking at the past and present, there has always been a great righteousness in great wars, otherwise he will be a murderous tyrant, and he will not be recognized by the people, let alone arouse the people's fighting heart. In this world, according to Qiantai's understanding, the righteousness is even more related to the favor of humanity, and the people's heart is the will of humanity, and if you lose the support of the people's heart, you will lose a few points first.

For example, in this war, Qiantai sat on the altar and could clearly feel that although he sent troops to attack Shanggu County, the dragon qi he cultivated and the sense of humanity in the underworld did not decrease. Yuan Shao also used military affairs to fight with Zhuo County at the time of the catastrophe in the north, and then there were conscriptions to collect grain, which caused the northern counties to suffer greatly from the war, and they had lost their benevolence and were unpopular with the people. The Northern Expedition of Zhuo County is also something that should be done in the hearts of the people of Youzhou, after all, it is still Yuan Shao who is holding the officials of Zhuo County and is unwilling to let it back.

As Qiantai carefully observed the qi in the north little by little, he quickly found out the pieces of turtle and dragon qi hidden hundreds of miles away from Juyong County, which was the arrangement of Yuan Shao's army.

Qiantai has already glimpsed a trace of heaven, with the calculation in his heart, there seems to be a star in his eyes, and the yellow earth qi on the altar is diffused, like a yellow sand fog, and Qiantai's eyes in the fog are like the sun and the moon rays are transmitted, and the momentum is even more magnificent.

Qiantai suddenly saw that there was a faint encirclement of a large army in the north of Juyong County, and he was about to rush south. This is Yuan Shao's conspiracy, Qiantai saw at a glance that Yuan Shao's military strategy led the enemy deeper, and then ambushed on all sides. deliberately led Qin Tieshu to Juyong County, and then surrounded and killed Qiantai's 50,000 troops in the city, knocking out most of Qiantai's military strength.

Qiantai's hands quickly pinched the seal, and with a wave of his hand, he dragged a leyline dragon qi into the void and disturbed the heavenly machine.

In the void, thousands of visions in Youzhou thundered with a flat thunder, and all the visions turned into chaos, so that no one could see a trace of the situation

Qiantai dispersed the earthly qi on the altar, closed his eyes quickly and breathed for a while, Qiantai opened his eyes and shouted outside the tent: "Come on, let Qingda come!"

Qingda, who was guarding the barracks at any time, came to the camp tent and knocked: "My subordinates pay a visit to the waiting master." ”

Qiantai said: "You immediately led the remaining 10,000 golden armor troops in the military camp all the way to the north, and after entering Shanggu County, they sneaked into the mountains to listen to my orders. ”

"Yes, Lord Hou. Qingda didn't know why Qiantai suddenly gave this order, but Qingda was left in the army by Qiantai early in the morning, just so that someone could lead the soldiers in the army to resist the enemy.

The army was quickly dispatched, and with Keidae leading into the border of Kamiya-gun, he secretly infiltrated the mountains.

Now the roads of the entire northern land are muddy, and the snow will soon cover up the traces as the snow melts after the army, so it is easy for Keida to hide when he enters Shanggu County with 10,000 men.

At the same time, Yan Du, the second god clone who had already entered Shanggu County with Qin Tieshu, immediately sensed the news of the deity, and the doppelganger Yan Du followed the army north to follow the battle all the way to collect the souls of the dead. At this time, Juyong County in the north was still busy and lively in the dark night, and Qin Tieshu was leading the soldiers to take over the county seat, establish defenses, and repair the city walls. The doppelganger Yan Du immediately appeared in Qin Tieshu's residence and appeared in front of Qin Tieshu. Qin Tieshu recognized the idol of Yan Du, and was naturally not surprised to know the doppelganger Yan Du, knowing that this demon general had always been out of the devil and had no way to hide in the netherworld, and his magical powers were vast. Yan Du said to Qin Tieshu: "The Juyong County that Hou Ye has already investigated is a ruse, Yuan Shao is organizing a large army to prepare for the siege of the city, and Captain Qin must prepare to defend the city." Hou Ye has already transferred troops to also ambush, and he wants to defeat Yuan Shao outside the city, so the captain must be prepared to defend the city, so that Yuan Shao's army will be kept out of the city, and it will drag down here, and the captain will play this big drama well. ”

"Qin Mou knows, thank you Shenjun for telling me personally, Qin Mu will live up to the trust of the waiting master. Qin Tieshu assured strongly. There are 50,000 troops in the city, and for a general like Qin Tieshu, he is completely confident that he will defend the city with all his might and resist the enemy when he knows the information in advance.

The doppelganger Yan Du left Juyong County that night to find another force, the five thousand tigers led by Qianming, which was a big killing force.
