Chapter 313: Follow-up Plans

After taking Huaxian, Ugong Terulie stopped all military operations and instead arranged fortifications around Huaxian, entering a state of switching from offensive to defensive. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

One drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, Ugong Terulie led the army to conquer the north bank ferry one after another overnight, took Yanjin, and captured Huaxian, and successfully extended his tentacles into Jizhou, his subordinates After a night and half a day of fighting, they were already exhausted, Ugong Teruleu could not use this tired division to fight, the strategic purpose has been reached, and the rest is not in a hurry.

Now Ugong Terulie needs to have enough patience to wait, not only for Xiahou Yuan's reinforcements, but also for Yuan's army to be in chaos without a fight. After taking the county, Ugong Zhaolie had already sent someone to send an order to Xiahou Yuan, asking him to immediately lead the 30,000 troops of his headquarters to come to support, and go to the south bank of the Yellow River to join the 30,000 troops left by Guo Jia there, and truly form a trend of attacking from the north to the south, surround the Yuan army led by the trial, and be ready to swallow this Yuan army in one bite at any time. After last night's battle, Ugong Terulie calculated through battle losses that there are only 80,000 or 90,000 people left in the 130,000 army under the trial and distribution subordinates, and it is not too difficult to have a one-pot end.

On the other hand, Ugong Terulie is waiting for Yuan Qi's battle results, waiting for Yuan Qi to defeat Yuan Ding's main force again. When the battle in the north came, it was bound to cause panic among the sergeants of the trial division in the south, and at that time, Unomiya Terutsu's opportunity came. If the troops of the trial can be annexed, Ugong Zhaolie's command will have tens of thousands of more combat power, and the importance of population resources is not worse than that of Yuan Qi, and the Yuan army of the commander of the trial and matching, in the eyes of Ugong Zhaolie, it is a big piece of fat, and it is a pity not to eat it. As for whether Yuan Qi can defeat Yuan Ding as Ugong Terulie thinks, Umiya Terulie is not worried at all, or rather, he is very confident in Yuan Qi, an opponent and friend who is also an enemy and friend.

In Unomiya Terulie's strategic concept, the first is to find a suitable base in Jizhou. Now he has achieved this goal; the second is to annex the troops led by the trial and distribution, and integrate the subdued troops into his own troops, so as to strengthen the personnel and combat effectiveness of his own troops; and the third is to take advantage of the fact that Yuan Qi is fighting with the remnants of Yuan's army in the north after annexing the headquarters of the trial and distribution department, he will attack the city in the south and take two or three counties of Jizhou with his own hands. Ugong Terulie knew that Yuan Ding's foundation in Jizhou was extremely strong, and the so-called hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen. It is certain to be defeated by Yuan Qi, but if Yuan Qi wants to completely eliminate Yuan Ding in a short period of time, it is not so easy to do. Therefore, Ugong Terulie still has a lot of opportunities to occupy the counties of Jizhou in the future, and he is not in a hurry.

Eyes returned to the north of Jizhou. Yuan Ding, who fled in a hurry for three days, finally encountered 150,000 reinforcements led by Yuan Shang in Xinhe County, Anping. After receiving this powerful reinforcement. Yuan Ding's confidence was full again, and he led his troops to be stationed in Xinhe, and sent military horses to gather the scattered sergeants, preparing to fight Yuan Qi again here.

The Yuan army, which was defeated by the Yan army in the Hejian camp, many people did not know the news that the grain and grass had been burned by the Yan army, and after getting the news that Yuan Ding was entrenched in Xinhe, they immediately gathered to Yuan Ding. In their thinking, only by following Yuan Ding can they have food. There are also many people who know that Yuan Ding's grain and grass have been burned, but they still return to Yuan Ding's side with the mentality of giving it a try, and having reinforcements means that new grain and grass have been transported, even if the grain and grass are not sufficient, but it is better to not eat than to starve to death. Of course, there were also a few Yuan Jun who refused to return to the Yuan camp at all, and they took off Yuan Jun's armor. changed into ordinary people's clothes, returned to his hometown, and completed the reunion with his family.

After five days of gathering the remnants of the army and defeating the generals, Yuan Ding re-assembled a team of 100,000 people, and the 300,000 troops that were brought to the river at the beginning, except for those who were killed and those who surrendered, Yuan Ding could only gather so much. In cooperation with the 150,000 troops brought by Yuan Shang. The attack of 250,000 troops stationed in Xinhe still had an absolute advantage in numbers, nearly twice as high as the Yan army and Jiangdong army under Yuan Qi. What Yuan Ding didn't know was. He can mobilize reinforcements, Yuan Qi is also mobilizing reinforcements, and now 20,000 Yan army infantry and 20,000 elite sailors are coming by land and water under the leadership of Zuo Ci and Gan Jing.

Yuan Qi's navy in the entire north, is invincible, close to the five northern states of the sea area, has already been in Gan Jing to combat training under the general purpose, by the 60,000 Yan army of the navy to clean up a clean, large and small dozens of pirates and water bandits, were all wiped out by Gan Jing, the Yan army's naval army has also risen in strength, in the Yuan Qi did not expand the navy, from the original 40,000 people, rapid development to 60,000 people, this is still Gan Jing adhering to the purpose of Yuan Qi training, in line with the idea of rather lack than indiscriminate, a large number of conquered pirates and water bandits have been reorganized, select the strong, cut out the old and weakAfter rounds of selection, the establishment of the navy army was reduced to 60,000 people.

Therefore, the sea area near the five northern states, quietly and unconsciously, has completely become the territorial waters of the Yan army, and Gan Jing was able to sail all the way south smoothly, and came to Jizhou before the infantry led by Zuo Ci, and joined Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin who were guarding the Bohai Sea, and then immediately sent someone to Yuan Qi to ask for instructions on the next move.

After Yuan Qi learned that Gan Jing had come to the Bohai Sea, he immediately issued an edict asking Gan Jing to lead 20,000 Qilin troops to enter Jizhou along the mouth of the Yellow River, and conduct a skirmish near Anping, where Yuan Ding's troops were attacking, disrupting Yuan Ding's sight.

On the second day after Gan Jing's arrival, Zuo Ci also came with 20,000 horsemen, and Yuan Qi asked Zuo Ci to rush to Zhongshan non-stop to replace Zhao Hu to guard there. And Zhao Hu's department, after these few days of recuperation, is in full morale, just enough to march westward to attack Changshan. Zhao Hu is very familiar with every grass and tree in Changshan, and no one is more suitable to attack Changshan than him.

In this way, while Yuan Ding gathered the remnants of the defeated army, Yuan Qi also launched the next round of operations. A new round of competition is quietly brewing, and the decisive battle between Mars and the Earth is about to be staged.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhuge Liang came to Yuan Qi's room alone, and saw Yuan Qi studying the thirteen chapters of the Ghost Valley under the candlelight, so he coughed lightly, which attracted Yuan Qi's attention.

Yuan Qi smiled slightly and asked Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, it's already late at night, why haven't you slept yet?" Zhuge Liang took a few steps forward, came to Yuan got up, and smiled back at Yuan Qi. At the same time, he said softly: "Didn't King Yan sleep too, in fact, Liang came to find one thing that was not sure of the direction, so I came to ask King Yan for advice." ”

Yuan Qi looked at Zhuge Liang with interest, and said strangely: "Is there anything that you Mr. Wolong can't understand?" Interesting, let's hear it." Plus, there's no one else right now. Don't always open your mouth Yan Wang and shut up Yan Wang, it sounds awkward. Have a seat. ”

Zhuge Liang obediently sat on the chair opposite Yuan Qi and said: "Big brother, now that Ugong Zhaolie has also extended his tentacles into Jizhou, after Yuan Ding is defeated, there will inevitably be two leaders in Jizhou. That is, the eldest brother and Ugong Terulie share Jizhou equally, and with Ugong Teruye's strategy, they will definitely get a share of the pie in Jizhou, so doesn't it mean that we have boosted Unomiya Terulie's strength? Once Unomiya Terulie gains power, it will be difficult for us to clean him up, therefore. In terms of how to clamp Unomiya Terulie and the degree of control, Liang felt a little confused. ”

Yuan Qi smiled lightly, this question is actually not difficult for Zhuge Liang to think through, but Ugong Zhaolie's reputation has never been very good, and he took Yanzhou and Yuzhou in one fell swoop with the order of the Son of Heaven to conquer Yanzhou. After that, he blatantly used troops against Qingzhou, and then took Xuzhou on the grounds of avenging his father, and at the beginning of the city, he slaughtered the city for three days, resulting in a large number of people in Xuzhou being unjustly killed. It gradually transformed in the opposite direction, in other words, after Unomiya Terulie acquired a large amount of city land, soldiers and horses, and gradually got rid of the shackles of the Yuan clan. The trend towards dictatorship has been carried out.

Yuan Qi united with Unomiya Zhaolie to fight against Yuan Ding together, and implemented the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, such a simple truth, Zhuge Liang has no reason not to figure it out, and the crux of preventing Zhuge Liang from thinking clearly about this problem is Zhuge Liang's heart. Although Zhuge Liang did not express his support for the Yuan Empire in public, it does not mean that he is not loyal to the Yuan Empire, on the contrary, Zhuge Liang has always put the Yuan Empire in the most important position in his heart, so he cannot tolerate the gradual exposure of his ambitions, and in the words of later generations, the current Ugong Zhaolie has become a traitor in the eyes of Zhuge Liang, which is why Zhuge Liang is not happy to ally with the Ugong Teriya.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Qi opened his mouth and said: "Kong Ming, your worries, you understand, are you afraid that you will be involved in a relationship with Ugong Zhaolie, and you will be infamous in the future, right? As for how to clamp down on Ugong Teruje, this point has not thought of an excellent solution for the time being, if we want to defeat Yuan Ding, we must rely on the strength of Unomiya Terulie, and unite with Unomiya Terulie to defeat Yuan Ding, after all, Yuan Ding's family background is too rich, the wealth left by the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, whether it is connections or money and food, is much higher than ours, plus Jizhou is also known as the largest state in the Central Plains, which makes Yuan Ding's wealth even stronger, and we are united with Ugong Terulie is also forced by the situation, but there is one point, we may be able to take advantage of it, presumably won Mount Tai in Jingzhou, and has long been dissatisfied with Ugong Terulie。 Let Tarzan make trouble behind Unomiya Terulie and contain Unomiya Terulie is not a good move. ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he groaned and said: "Taishan has been exiled for a long time, he is an unborn hero, half of Jingzhou will definitely not satisfy his appetite, this is indeed a good move, but Taishan's chief military advisor Pang Shiyuan is Liang's classmate, and his intelligence is not under Liang, if he wants to hide from Shiyuan, he must seize the opportunity to provoke Taishan to harass him in the rear of Ugong Zhaolie when our army and Ugong Zhaolie dissolve the alliance, which is somewhat difficult." ”

Yuan Qi smiled maliciously and said: "Strategizing is your strategist's business, and a certain martial artist just asks, you go and discuss with Mr. Jia Yuan and them to make a plan." Between the words, Yuan Qida looked like he was in charge, and threw this difficult problem directly to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Qi a little helplessly and said: "Big brother, you are really a scoundrel, you are embarrassed to call yourself a martial artist? ”

The smile on Yuan Qi's face became thicker, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Mixed Yuan Halberd leaning in the corner of the room: "If you are not a martial artist, can you play it?" Therefore, if you are an authentic martial artist, your brain is not as good as your literati. ”

Speechlessly patted his forehead, Zhuge Liang turned around and walked out of Yuan Qi's room, he suddenly found that Yuan Qi was even more cunning than he imagined, and he was worried that Ugong Zhaolie would take the opportunity to share Jizhou with Yuan Qi, and now it seems that with Yuan Qi's cunning, he doesn't need to worry about anything at all!

Behind him, Yuan Qi's voice came: "Kong Ming, go back and have a good rest, tomorrow we will advance by land and water, and we will meet Yuan Ding again in Xinhe!"
