Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 517 Intensified 1
Gongsun Xu led an army to besiege Bohai for several days, but the defenders in the city did not dare to fight. Gongsun Xu felt that there was no need to attack the city for the time being, so he ordered the army to keep an eye on each city gate.After the matter on the Bohai Sea was settled, Gongsun Xu immediately sent Zhang Fei with an army of [-] to attack Julu.

Anyway, there are only a few cities left in Jizhou, and Gongsun Xu can take them all as long as he waits patiently. As for whether Yuan Shao will counterattack now, Gongsun Xu no longer cares.Yuan Shao gave up the influence of Jizhou and turned to attack Qingzhou. This may be the need for a strategic shift, but at the same time, Yuan Shao also gave up his many years of management in Jizhou.

Gongsun Xu was naturally surprised by Yuan Shao's behavior. Guo Jia couldn't tell the reason for a while, and they could only wait and see. Anyway, Yuan Shao would not give up the territory of Jizhou so easily, so Gongsun Xu concluded that Yuan Shao would Lead the army to counterattack.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Xu kept Bohai and did not attack. If he took Bohai, he only needed to dispatch a large number of siege equipment and infantry. This meant driving Yuan Shao to Qingzhou completely.

Gongsun Xu is not yet ready to take over the territory of Jizhou. After all, this involves dealing with local aristocratic families, settling refugees, defending against foreign enemies, and many other things.

In the past, Gongsun Xu was only adjacent to the territory of Yuan=Yuan Shao. If Jizhou was captured, Gongsun Xu would be neighbors with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and even Yuan Shu. In this way, he would have to face a large number of opponents. Gongsun Xu's original intention was inconsistent.

With Yuan Shao around, Gongsun Xu has a buffer zone, so he doesn't have to intrigue with other princes.This is of great benefit to the development of northern Xinjiang. At least Gongsun Xu can free up a lot of manpower and financial resources to do a good job in production first.

"Yuan Shao can't rely on this strength." Gongsun Xu discussed the military situation with the generals in the tent, looked at the map and said: "After fighting the enemy during this period, you should have discovered some strange things.

Yuan Shao's army was not elite, and they were not good at field battles. Many soldiers were locals, so they worked extra hard when defending the city.Also, those city guards are very hostile to our army. I asked many people, and they all said that some people preach that our army will indulge soldiers to loot after entering the city.

This must be Yuan Shao's trick, he wants to arouse the hatred between our army and the local defenders, and then use the local defenders to hold us back.Based on what I know about Yuan Shao, he has at least 5000 elite troops in his hands, which can be regarded as elite veterans, and there may be [-] cavalrymen among them.

However, so far, our army has not encountered such an army. This can only explain one thing. Yuan Shao took all the elites to Qingzhou, and the remaining troops were recruits. The potential is exhausted. "

"My lord's words are true." Guo Jia analyzed: "I sent people to inquire, and most of the soldiers who surrendered were recruited in the past year, and they didn't receive training for a long time. The main reason for the fight.

Guo Yuan, Feng Li, etc. are all locals, except for the senior cadres in Bohai City. He is Yuan Shao's nephew, and he can be regarded as Yuan Shao's confidant.In my opinion, even if Yuan Shao lost Jizhou, he would not have lost much.

He can quickly recruit so many troops in Qingzhou. At the same time, after he incorporates the Qingzhou army, his elite may reach as many as 10. This is terrifying, because Yuan Shao only needs [-] people to defend Qingzhou, and he can Free up more men to attack the enemy, including us.

As we all know, Qingzhou is almost surrounded by the sea on three sides, which is of great benefit to Yuan Shao's defense. Unless our army uses the navy, it will be very difficult to attack Qingzhou. After all, we cannot borrow from Yanzhou or Xuzhou. road.

But Yuan Shao is different. Not only can he go north from Le'an, Leling and other places, but he can also pass through Yanzhou to attack Jizhou. Cao Cao has not yet planned to send troops to help our army. This can only show that there is already a relationship between him and Yuan Shao agreement.

These vassals are all watching the play, they are waiting for the opportunity, I guess Yuan Shao made them do so with a very tempting gift.Although Lu Bu sent troops to join the battle, it can be seen from the number of two or three thousand cavalry at the beginning that his sincerity was not enough.

If I guessed correctly, Yuan Shao must have been busy negotiating with Lu Bu during this time, nothing more than to ask Lu Bu to stop participating in this matter.In the end, even if our army takes Jizhou, it will be very difficult, and at the same time we have to defend against so many enemies, which is not a good thing. "

"Report,,,,,," a soldier came in and knelt down and said, "My lord, report urgently."

After taking a look, Gongsun Xu frowned twice. After a cold snort, he handed the first piece of information to Guo Jia and the others.

After Guo Jia saw it, he sneered and said, "What a coincidence, Lu Bu has retreated, hehe, it really is unreliable, Yuan Shao has already bought him."

"There is something more interesting here." Gongsun Xu handed over the second message and said, "Chang'an has sent troops, and [-] cavalry are heading towards Bingzhou. It is estimated that they want to encircle Wei and save Zhao. The combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army should not have weakened." , but the destructive power must have increased.

Wherever they go, they must be burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes. They can't be allowed to enter Bingzhou, come and send orders, let Zhang Fei lead [-] cavalry from the headquarters to rush to the east of the river to intercept the [-] Xiliang rebels, and at the same time order Zhengfang to go there Pay attention to this matter, let him think of a way from Hu Qiang Zajucao, and transfer Hua Xiong there. "

"Is it considered to be a move now?" Guo Jia said while browsing the information: "It's still a little bit, but I'm afraid it won't be enough to stop our army."

"It's a little unexpected." Gongsun Xu said after reading the last piece of information: "Yuan Shu recruited troops and formed another 30 troops. So far, Yuan Shu has [-] troops. He takes Ji Ling as his commander and leads [-] troops." The attack on Xuzhou was also one of the reasons why Lu Bu retreated."

"What, is Yuan Shu crazy?" Guo Jia said in amazement: "He has occupied Yuzhou for such a short time and is going to send troops again. Who does he think he is? He has no opponents in the south. Once he goes north, he can fight. Who can win, my lord, this Yuan Shu probably has a lot of ambition."

"Hehe, yes, I am afraid that those who own that thing will have a lot of ambition." Gongsun Xu said with a wry smile, "Yuan Shu is looking for a dead end, alas, when our army took the grasslands in the east of Xianbei, we stopped fighting." Two years, after taking the Hetao, it was also a year of rest.

What we do is nothing more than to fight steadily. I am afraid that there is no such thing as a fat man. Yuan Shu rushed to send troops before he had time to appease the people of Yuzhou. Hehe, he is really arrogant.

The Jiangdong side is now almost unified by my righteous brother Sun Ce. He is now building a navy, rectifying his troops, and is preparing to cross the river to attack Jingzhou. Yuan Shu's side is no longer in trouble, so he will take advantage of this time to send troops expand the territory. "

"So that's it." Guo Jia nodded and said, "The ambition is quite big, but the way of doing things is not right. Yuan Shu is not bad if he can last for two or three years. In my opinion, within three years, Yuan Shu will definitely die.

If my lord doesn't want to cause too much trouble now, we can persuade Lu Bu to send troops, we give him Pingyuan, Leling and other places, and let him guard against Yuan Shao for us.As for Cao Cao, he must still be thinking about taking back Yanzhou. He has no time to fight with us now. "

"They all want to expand the territory." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "Our army's current problem is that the territory is too large and has not been fully digested. It is not good to expand now, but we also want to let the world know the strength of our Northern Border Army.

As long as there is another year, another year, we can solve the Hetao issue. At that time, we will go south from Bingzhou to capture Sili, and then take Jizhou, so that we can be proud of all the heroes in the world, but it is not yet time. "

"My lord, for the present plan, I'm afraid I can only find a way to talk to Yuan Shaohe." Guo Jia suggested: "Anyway, Yuan Shao definitely doesn't want to continue fighting with our army. As long as he can give a reasonable bargaining chip, we can let go He has a way out."

"How can we talk about it for sure, but we can't do it now." Gongsun Xu shook his head and said, "If you don't beat him up, how can he talk to us honestly? Zilong, Ziyi, Bujun, you three Starting tomorrow, we will go to the city to fight for generals one after another, and we must beat down the morale of the enemy army.

Yun Chang, that Hebei Spear King suffered a loss in your hands, and I don't know if he is dead or not.You go tomorrow too, I want to see what they plan to do, whether to hide in the city and be a tortoise, or come out of the city to fight with us. "

"Hebei Spear King?" Zhao Yun sneered and said, "If my master is willing, how could this title be yours? Tomorrow I will show you the real marksmanship."

The next day, Gongsun Xu led his generals to fight again. Gao Gan only felt his scalp tingle after watching it on the city wall. He had never taken advantage of the fight so many times, and last time he lost Han Meng This general.

"Old general, what do you think about this?" Gao Gan looked at Han Rong beside him and said, "If you don't fight for morale, you won't be able to win."

"Huh, it's okay, let's take it on." Han Rong sneered and said, "I've been thinking hard for the past few days, and finally let me think of the key to cracking Guan Yu's sword technique. First class.

He is naturally suitable for using swords. I was obsessed with swordsmanship before, so I suffered a disadvantage in his hands. Don't forget, the old man is also nicknamed Hebei Spear King. It seems that I have to rely on me to crack Guan Yu's swordsmanship This marksmanship. "

"Oh, it's great that the old general has such confidence." Gao Gan said excitedly: "Come on, order the soldiers and horses, and let's go out to fight."

The two sides once again set up battles under the city. Guan Yu walked back and forth in front of the battle with a big knife in his hand. His eyes were fixed on Han Rong, as if he was staring at a dead man.

Zhao Yun stepped forward and said to Guan Yu, "Yun Chang, is this the man?"

"That's right, Hebei Golden Sword Han Yidao, the king of swords back then."

"He is holding a big gun today, Yun Chang, I'm sorry, this guy is here to find me."

"Hehe, if Zilong wants to make a move, he can do it. I won't fight you."

"I've heard of Han Rong's name a long time ago, and my master has mentioned this person many times, heh heh, I'm going to have to get to know him well when the time comes today."
