Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 555 Yuan Shao's Wrath

"Has Yecheng been breached?" Pingyuan and Gao Shun looked at the letter sent by Chu Nan, with a little joy on his expressionless face, turned to look at Ji Ling and said, "Map!"

"Here!" Ji Ling quickly opened the map and explained to Gao Shun: "General, we are now in the plains, a full five hundred miles away from Yecheng. Can be defeated but not chaotic, now that Qinghe County has laid down heavy defenses, it is quite difficult for our army to break through its defenses, and it may be difficult to rush to rescue the Lord quickly."

"Don't worry, my lord can defend the city alone. I didn't send this letter to ask our army to rush to help Yecheng." As half of Chu Nan's teacher, Gao Shun probably knows better than Lu Bu what skills his disciples have. Forgot that Chu Nan was in the camp back then.

"Why is that?" Ji Ling asked puzzled.

"Yecheng has been broken, and the Jizhou army's morale will be turbulent. What our army has to do is to fight steadily and nibble away at Jizhou step by step. Now that the plains have fallen, the connection between Jizhou and Qingzhou has been completely severed. Let this news spread to Qingzhou. At least Qingzhou can be in my hands!" Gao Shun said in a deep voice.

It is impossible to swallow Jizhou in one gulp. Although the veteran Han Qiong in front of him is no match for him, he has a strong tenacity. Against this kind of opponent, we must be careful and careful, but if he catches a chance, he can turn defeat into victory. Turn the tide of battle.

"Afterwards, our army went all out to capture Qinghe County and Anping County. In this way, our army was connected with the lord, and trapped Xiahou and Cao Ren's two departments here. Together with Wenyuan and the lord, as long as these two troops are eaten Next, Jizhou can be settled!" Gao Shun drew on the map with a pen, looked at Ji Ling and said, "What do you think, the general?"

My lord, can he really keep it?

Ji Ling looked at the map and said thoughtfully: "General, but Yuan Shao still has the main force who has never shown up."

According to what Gao Shun said, if they can conquer the two counties, they will be connected to Wei County and form an encirclement trend against Xia Houyuan in Liyang, Chaoge, and the Second Division of Cao Ren. As far as he knows, most of Yuan Shao's main force is here However, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, Gao Lan and other top Jizhou generals have never appeared on the battlefield. If this team suddenly breaks out, it will become their enemies.

Gao Shun clicked on the desk table and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. Three days ago, information was sent. Yuan Shao led Jizhou elites to ambush Wenhou in the Juyongguan area, but Mr. Gongtai... saw through it. Not only did he lose troops, but The so-called Four Courts of Hebei are now only left by Zhang He, what Yuan Shao should consider now is not how to counterattack, but how to defend the other half of Jizhou and Youzhou in front of Wenhou."

"Juyongguan!?" Although Ji Ling is Gao Shun's deputy general, he did not participate in the discussion on the layout of this battle, but has been helping Gao Shun in the army to train troops. The grand strategy of the entire Chunan Group is to use Lu Bu to draw Yuan Shao's main force , and then allow them to take Jizhou more easily.

Now that the battle has been fought, Yuan Shao has actually been defeated, but Yuan Shao's family property is too big, even Chu Nan can't swallow it all, so there is the current situation.

"Well, this is a strategy discussed in advance." Gao Shun nodded.

"But where do the soldiers come from?" Ji Ling asked puzzled.

As a general in the army, under the echelon of Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan, he is on the same level as Xu Huang, Li Tong, and other descendants of the Cao army. He is very clear about how many soldiers Chu Nan has, basically All of them have been involved in this battle, and the rest cannot move and must defend the rear. No matter how powerful Lu Bu and Chen Gong are, they must take a detour to fight Juyongguan, and Bingzhou must be taken.

Where did the soldiers and horses that penetrated Bingzhou and then entered Youzhou and defeated Yuan Shao's main force come from?

Even if there are soldiers, what about food and grass?Where is the food?

"Guanzhong." Gao Shun pointed to Guanzhong, which should not be in the scope of this war, and said: "Chen Gongtai went to Guanzhong to persuade the generals in Guanzhong to provide soldiers and horses. Marquis Wen went to Hetao to persuade the Huns to provide troops. Grain funding."

Gao Shun's words were concise, but to Ji Ling's ears, it was another matter. He went to Guanzhong, so the generals in Guanzhong handed over their soldiers and horses, and Lu Bu went to Hetao, so Hetao took the initiative to take over the responsibility of food and grass.

That's it?

What about the process?What about the details?This is very unconvincing!

But looking at Gao Shun's expression, Ji Ling didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Gao Shun and Chen Gong didn't like each other. Among them, Gao Shun just mentioned the result without explaining it in detail. Obviously he didn't want to help Chen Gong to make a name for himself. Think carefully, Ji Ling naturally knows.

"If this is the case, the general's strategy is feasible!" Ji Ling returned his attention to the map and said, "As long as our army continues to win as it is now, it will surely succeed!"

"It's not that easy. Han Qiong is killing our army's vigor now, and he doesn't want to fight head-on with our army. The art of war goes like this: one go at a time, then decline again, and three times. Although our army is as powerful as a broken bamboo, this sharpness will not last long Save." Gao Shun is not as optimistic as Ji Ling, and Han Qiong is not as easy to deal with. After discovering that his morale is sharp, he has been showing weakness to wear down his spirit for a while, even if he gives up the whole plain. own strength!
For Gao Shun, such an opponent is the most difficult to deal with. You don't know when he will strike back, but the counterattack is bound to be thunderous, so Gao Shun took the initiative to stop after winning the plain, in order to adjust morale , and at the same time unload Han Qiong's energy.

Han Qiong is old-fashioned, but Gao Shun is not a stunned young man who has just entered the battlefield. He has a calmer mind than most generals. It is easy to control the rhythm of the war in your own hands.

"The counties in Pingyuan will be captured as soon as possible." Ji Ling had worked with Gao Shun for so long, so he naturally understood Gao Shun's intentions in doing so, and smiled immediately.

"The officials have already dispatched county magistrates. What our army needs to do now is to maintain the stability of the counties and..." Gao Shun looked at Ji Ling and said in a deep voice, "Butcher!"

"The general will understand!" Ji Ling bowed quickly.

……

Zhuo County, Zhuo County.

Returning all the way from Juyongguan to Zhuo County, Yuan Shao was already in a bad mood, but what made him even more uncomfortable was that the news of the destruction of Yecheng came back not long after.

"Bang~"

The exquisite lacquerware was smashed into pieces by Yuan Shao. At this moment, there was a kind of beast-like madness in Yuan Shao's eyes: "Why is this so!? It is impossible for Yecheng to be broken!"

Not only because Ye City is strong and easy to defend, but more importantly, there are still ancestors sitting in the Yuan Mansion, how could Ye City be broken?
"My lord, the current situation is not good for our army!" Tian Feng sighed. He didn't suggest She Chunan to deal with Lu Bu at the beginning, but there is no need to talk about this kind of thing now. It will only shake the morale of the army. The most important thing is to think about how to make a comeback.

"Once Yecheng is broken, there will be turmoil in the army. If our army can't recapture Yecheng as soon as possible, this battle will undoubtedly be defeated!" Seeing Yuan Shao's fierce eyes staring at him, Tian Feng sighed, bowed his head and refused to talk to Yuan Shao. They looked at each other, but bowed down.

"Did Yuan Hao think it was wrong for someone to insist on sending troops to attack Lu Bu?" Thinking of Tian Feng's words before going out, Yuan Shao always felt that there was something wrong with the way Tian Feng looked at him, which seemed ironic and disdainful.

"It's not necessarily wrong, it's just that I waited a long time to calculate a lot." Tian Feng closed his eyes, shook his head and said: "If our army can't quickly defeat Chunan, the whole territory of Youzhou will be lost, and Lu Bu can drive straight in and threaten Jizhou! No matter what It is possible to choose anywhere, and the defeat in this battle is not a crime of war!"

I can only comfort Yuan Shao in this way. In short, their strategy has completely failed so far. Bingzhou has fallen, and Youzhou has lost two counties. Now that Yecheng has been captured, the loss may be even greater, and most importantly, Now they can't take Qingzhou into consideration. At this time, it is not a time for internal conflicts. It is true that we should work together to fight the enemy and think about countermeasures to defeat the enemy.

Yuan Shao's expression softened when he heard the words, but when he thought of the loss of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan, he felt uncomfortable. Up to now, only Zhang He was left in the Four Courts of Hebei, and the general Lu Weihuang was probably gone, so he went to harass him Han Meng, who is on the other side of Liangdao, is still in Xialuo. He is trapped, and it can also be regarded as a door.

Now Yuan Shao couldn't think of anyone other than Zhang He who could be used for a while!
"What's your plan?" Yuan Shao calmed down, looked at the crowd and asked.

"My lord, in the current battle situation, Chu Nan has already gained an advantage. It is not a wise move to confront the opponent head-on at this time. It is indeed a wise move to take back Yecheng as soon as possible, but secondly, our army needs foreign aid!" Xu You bowed. Dao, this time he didn't confront Tian Feng tit for tat, obviously also realized that the moment of life and death has come.

"Foreign aid?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You.

"Yes." Xu You nodded and said, "The reason why our army did not mobilize the princes to fight against Chunan before is because our army should have won, but now that we have lost several battles, our army has no choice. In addition to continuing to fight against Chunan, if Jiangdong Sun Quan and Jingzhou Liu Biao are willing to send troops to harass Chunan's rear, it can greatly alleviate the current danger of our army."

Now that Yuan Shao has lost troops and defeated generals, it is obvious that he is in a losing position. It is already very difficult for Yuan Shao to defeat Chu Nan by himself. At this time, if Jiangdong and Jingzhou in the rear can lend a helping hand at this time, it will greatly reduce Yuan Shao's pressure.

"If our army returns to Yecheng, don't we want to hand over the whole Youzhou to Nalu Bu!?" Yuan Shao looked at Xu You, feeling very reluctant in his heart. Before that, he dominated the four prefectures and looked at the Central Plains, but now Bingzhou is gone. Lost, Qingzhou can't be counted on, only Youzhou and Jizhou are left. If Youzhou is also given up, there will be only Jizhou, which can be defended infinitely. After Lu Bu digests Youzhou, can he do whatever he wants? !
At this time, Yuan Shao began to miss Ju Yi who helped him turn the tide of the battle and defeated Gongsun Zan. The situation now is similar to that before, but unfortunately there is no second Ju Yi who can help him turn the tide of the battle.

"Could it be that the lord has forgotten that the lord still has a power to mobilize?" Xu You looked at Yuan Shao and smiled.
