Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2505: Divide the troops into Qingzhou and bloom everywhere

Whether it was Qingzhou or Jizhou, facing the troops of Xue Rengui and Li Mu, they adopted a policy of active retreat, gave up a large amount of territory to shorten the battle line, concentrated all their strength, clenched their fists, and concentrated all their strength in a limited number of places.

But this time, he just sat there and watched Qi Jiguang control the Yellow River, thus dividing Qingzhou into two halves.

It has to be said that Xue Rengui also admired Liu Bei's courage very much.

In fact, Liu Bei said very helplessly that if he had any way, would he have to do this?
Liu Bei's behavior did give Xue Rengui a headache.

Although they completed the plan to temporarily divide Qingnan and Qingbei, they failed to successfully complete another plan.

According to their original idea, they wanted to use the Yellow River Navy and the Yangtze River Navy, and let Qi Jiguang and Han Shizhong join forces to attack and destroy the Qinghan Navy on the Yellow River.

In this way, if they divide Qingzhou into two halves, the meaning will be completely different.

Moreover, if Qinghan’s naval force is gone, Youzhou’s naval force will be even more vulnerable.

You know, Youzhou's navy is not as good as Qinghan's navy.

If these two naval forces can be completely eliminated, the three northern states will completely become their backyard, with plenty of places for them to break through.

By that time, the three forces in the north will be restricted in every way.

However, now they have not been able to resolve the Qinghan navy as they had initially thought. Although, even if the Qingzhou navy and the Youzhou navy joined forces, they were no match for the Han navy.

The Qingzhou Navy and the Youzhou Navy, if taken alone, can at most be compared with the Yellow River Navy, but cannot be compared with the Yangtze River Navy.

Even if the Qingzhou Navy and the Youzhou Navy were combined, they could not be a match for the Yangtze River Navy.

The navy trained in the north and the navy trained in the south are naturally different.

If the navy of the North can compare with the navy of the South, then what advantages does the South have?
"If the Qinghan Navy is not eliminated, some of the original plans cannot be implemented rashly!" Xue Rengui frowned when he thought of this.

Originally, according to their plan, they not only included dividing Qingzhou, but also attacked Bohai County in Jizhou and Youzhou through Bohai Sea, relying on the huge naval force to strike at the rear of the three northern families, leaving them unable to take care of themselves.

However, the enemy's naval force has not been destroyed, but is avoiding fighting to preserve its strength. In this way, it is impossible to proceed as planned before.

"Grand Commander, even if the plan is hindered, the overall situation is still in the hands of our army!" said Liu Bowen, who was temporarily transferred to serve as Xue Rengui's military advisor.

Now, the Yellow River has completely fallen into their control. They have a great possibility of landing in Qingzhou from the Yellow River. The whole Qingzhou will be in a state of being surrounded from all sides, like an isolated island. Under siege from all sides, it will be conquered sooner or later.

Therefore, even if Qingzhou’s navy was preserved, it still could not change the overall situation.

"Well, if that's the case, then let's focus on Ji Qing first!"

"Let Qi Jiguang take control of the seaport. Since the Qingzhou navy has escaped, don't let any of their soldiers enter the Yellow River!" Xue Rengui nodded.

As long as Qi Jiguang controlled the seaport and did not allow any Qingzhou navy to enter the Yellow River, Han Shizhong could unscrupulously transport a large number of troops from the Yellow River to Qingzhou, and use their advantages of large numbers of troops. In this way, Liu Bei and Jizhou voluntarily gave up a large amount of territory and finally shortened the battle line, but then they would fall into a state of fighting everywhere. It can be said that they completely failed.

For them, as long as they fully utilize their advantage in military numbers and start fighting from all directions, the three major princes in the north will eventually give up.

Even if a breakthrough cannot be made in this direction, it will be the same if a breakthrough can be made in other directions.

Next, Xue Rengui dispatched 80,000 troops without hesitation, and immediately informed Han Shizhong and Qi Jiguang, asking their navy to cooperate with the 80,000 troops to attack the northern part of Qingzhou from multiple directions along the Yellow River.

The entire Qinghan, plus the remnants of Zhao Kuangyin's army, only had a total of 180,000 soldiers and horses.

Excluding the 30,000 naval forces, it can be said that the remaining force that Qinghan can use is only 150,000 soldiers and horses.

But Tian Dan alone occupied half of these troops, with 60,000 soldiers stationed here.

After all, Tian Dan was facing Xue Rengui's army of nearly 200,000.

At this time, Xue Rengui separated 80,000 troops from him and marched to the south and north of Qingzhou from across the Yellow River. How many troops would Liu Bei still have in Qingzhou?
Don't forget, Guo Ziyi still has 100,000 troops advancing towards Qingzhou!

Therefore, as long as this front is opened, Qingzhou will end up with leaks everywhere.

When Liu Bei and his men gave up the Yellow River, they had not failed to anticipate this outcome.

But they are still helpless!
After all, with the 30,000 Qinghan Navy, if they were facing Han Shizhong's Yellow River Navy, it wouldn't be a big problem, and it's still unknown who will win or lose!

In fact, Liu Bei's chances of winning are even higher!
After all, since the Han Dynasty established the Yangtze River Navy, its main development direction has never been on the Yellow River Basin. Whether it is warships or manpower configuration, the Yellow River Navy has been the same.

In this respect, there is a difference compared to the Qinghan Navy, which is developing at its best.

After all, the Han Dynasty had many famous generals in terms of its navy.

However, if the Qinghan Navy is compared with the Yangtze River Navy, it is far inferior in all aspects.

The Han navy was indeed not bad in terms of generals, but this could not change the gap in hard power between the two sides.

Although it is said that it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but difficult to get a good general, it is useless to have a general without soldiers.

The two have always been mutually reinforcing and indispensable.

Therefore, even if his navy stayed on the Yellow River, it would not change the final result. Instead, it would be a vain sacrifice. It was only a matter of time before the Jin army controlled the Yellow River.

Therefore, for Liu Bei, it is better to preserve his strength than to sacrifice himself in vain, as there may be a chance to turn the situation around later.

Only when you have a certain amount of power in your hands can you seize the opportunity. If your troops are annihilated, even if the opportunity is placed in front of you, there is a high probability that you will not be able to grasp it.
