Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 520 Unexpected Strike 2
Gongsun Xu has already assembled a large army on the border of Qingzhou to support the migration of the people. This is the second time he has done this in Qingzhou, and it is a piece of cake for him.

Although Yuan Shao had submitted the letter of surrender, he did not think that Yuan Shao would admit defeat like this.This time, nearly 20 people in Qingzhou were coaxed away by him. It would be a lie to say that Yuan Shao was not angry, so Gongsun Xu had to guard against Yuan Shao.

Besides, how could Gongsun Xu not understand the thoughts of other princes when things had developed to this point. They just wanted to sit on the sidelines and watch.

Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu are all princes of one party. At this time, I am afraid that they all want to do their best to develop their own power. The strength of the northern border will definitely make them more or less united. Gongsun Xu must Beware of them.

After Baixin retreated into Jizhou, Gongsun Xucai left Tai Shici with [-] cavalry to patrol the border, and absolutely did not allow the troops of other princes to enter Jizhou.

He intends to strike, and also plans to give up part of the territory of Jizhou, but there is a premise, that is, he must get rid of the people and supplies in these places. At that time, no matter who comes, Yuan Shao or Cao Cao It doesn't matter if you capture Jizhou, anyway, it was almost hollowed out by Gongsun Xu.

"In addition to the places we occupied before, this time I also want Hejian and Qinghe. Julu three places, the people who migrated can also be resettled in these three places. This is still Jizhou. I don't think these people will have Resistance.

After finishing this matter, Yun Chang transferred all Zhongshan's troops to these three places for defense. They fought steadily and gradually encroached. Jizhou has been occupied by us, and we will let them grab the remaining places.

Feng Xiao, I will stay in Yunchang to lead the guard here. You have to help me with the internal affairs in addition to military affairs. For the sake of safety, the army here will not be mobilized too much for the time being. After all, there are still many guards in Bohai Sea. Jun, you look so good. "

"My lord, don't worry." Guo Jia replied: "If Yuan Shao dares to come, I will definitely make him suffer a lot, hehe, besides, it is a question of whether he has the courage to come now. The troops deployed by our army here are not counted. At least, Yuan Shaojun will be useless when he walks out of the city, and he will be suppressed and beaten by our army."

"Hehe, it's better to be careful." Gongsun Xu replied: "Zilong, Ziyi, and Bujun will still be here in these two months. If there is any major war, it will be enough to deal with it."

"My lord, what do you mean?" Guo Jia asked, "You want to lead the troops away? But because of the rebellious soldiers in Chang'an."

"That's right." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "Yide sent information that he had successfully intercepted the [-] rebels, but the Xiliang rebels turned to the grassland where the Hu and Qiang lived after suffering a bit of a loss. Many local people have been harmed, and the Sili area may suffer disaster.

More importantly, Chang'an sent another 4 cavalry to support them. Now Yuan Shao's side has been resolved. Chang'an's rebellious army cannot be supported by itself.

Ma Teng suffered a little loss in Xiliang, and Han Sui didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, so he actually made a serious move. Although Ma Chao had achieved some results in the battle, he had to retreat now, and Chang'an would make room for him. More troops, hehe, these bandits really take themselves seriously. This time, I will definitely swallow up the [-] cavalry and let Chang'an learn a lesson. "

"How many soldiers and horses will my lord bring there?" Guo Jia asked, "The enemy army is considered elite, and the 2 people on Yide's side can be regarded as support."

"Five thousand tiger troops are enough." Gongsun Xu replied: "I will stay here for the rest of the army, especially the ten thousand front-runners. They can act as a deterrent here. I will leave the matter here to you. With Feng Xiao's talent, and Zilong and the others here, even if Cao Cao and the others come from far away, I won't worry."

"My lord, just relax, this matter is not easy." Guo Jia saluted and said, "I will definitely return my lord a stable Jizhou, and none of them will try to take advantage of me."

The next day, Gongsun Xu set off with [-] tiger and cardinal troops. Chang'an's rebellious army has always been a cancer. Scared, but it makes him worry.

Generally, when the two armies are at war, both sides may attack the local people. Whether it is collecting food and grass or destroying local defenses, generally speaking, the local people will definitely suffer from military disasters.

This is also the main reason why Gongsun Xu chooses the battlefield on the territory of other princes every time he fights.He will not take the initiative to destroy the local production and the stability of the people. After the war has progressed to a certain extent, the opponent will attack the local people instead. This is Gongsun Xu's strategy. popular support.

In Jizhou and Qingzhou, that's what Gongsun Xu did. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take away so many people from these two places in such a short period of time. Home, abandon their homeland?

Fortunately, the Xiliang rebellious army has come to their own territory. If Gongsun Xu hadn't let Zhang Fei's soldiers intercept them in time, the southern part of Bingzhou would have suffered a military disaster. Gongsun Xu would never allow such a thing to happen On his own territory, that's why he was in such a hurry to wipe out these 4 people.

"Report,,,,,," a scout ran over on his horse and shouted: "My lord, General Zhang Fei sent an urgent report that the bandit army is currently resting in the territory of Hedong, and the local tyrants and aristocratic families spontaneously formed an army to resist.

General Zhang Fei has already led his troops to encircle and suppress another [-] enemy troops from Hongnong to the north, and there is a tendency to join the former. The people in Hedong may suffer. "

"The movement is quite fast." Gongsun Xu snorted coldly: "Run in such a hurry, is it to die? The whole army speeds up, trying to catch up with the enemy before they leave Hedong. Hmph, I want to hunt grass in Hedong to send food and grass , how courageous you are.”

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu ordered the whole army to speed up. Zhang Fei and the others have probably already fought the enemy. After the 4 enemy troops converge, Zhang Fei will definitely not force it, so Gongsun Xu must fight in the shortest possible time. rush over.

At this time, Hu and Qiang were living in the grassland, and Hua Xiong led five thousand elite cavalry to march towards the east of the river. When he received Gongsun Xu's order to dispatch troops, he was busy exterminating several tribes that suddenly appeared on the grassland and made trouble.

It was this incident that delayed the trip. He was not leading the Northern Border Army this time, but the elite soldiers of the Li Ru tribe. However, he could not reveal his identity, so he was always blocked when marching on the grassland. disturb.

Fortunately, Gongsun Xu also issued an edict ordering the grassland tribes to form cavalry to fight against the Xiliang rebel army, so the actions of Huaxiong's 5000 people are not surprising. There are many stumbling blocks on the road.

"You bastard, you don't dare to fight head-on, you just try to make trouble in secret." Hua Xiong scolded, "I really think I have no temper, come on, go ahead and check, is there someone who doesn't have a good eye? The tribe is blocking the way, believe it or not, I will lead people to destroy them now."

After more than an hour, Hua Xiong's side finally set off again, and the tribes blocking the way all got out of the way after learning that they had obeyed Gongsun Xu's edict.

This kind of thing is very common on the grasslands. After all, Hua Xiong still has to use a road to pass through. Some tribes will let them pass after obstructing them for a while, and then provide some cattle and sheep as compensation.

Some tribes will also obey Gongsunxu's edict, not only providing a certain amount of cattle, sheep and horses, but also sending warriors from the tribe to participate in the battle.

So far, in addition to the 5000 troops in the headquarters, Huaxiong has also received more than 4000 reinforcements along the way.There are not a few tribes along this road, the larger ones have 800 people, and the smaller ones have 400 people. Just make do with this, Hua Xiong's side has almost [-] troops.

The three-way army came towards the [-] Xiliang rebels. At this time, the Xiliang rebels who had been entrenched in Hedong for two days seemed to have obtained enough food and grass. advance.

The other [-] troops have already entered the territory of Hedong, and they will be able to meet in about a day. The combat effectiveness of the [-] cavalry is not weak, and their destructive power is also very strong. Otherwise, Gongsun Xu would not be so eager to kill them. .

In Xuzhou, Yuan Shu's army began to capture some smaller cities. Because Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou for a short time, he was not strong enough to restrain those cities on the border. Many cities chose to surrender in front of Yuan Shu's army.

Today's Yuan Shu is definitely strong and general, with more than 30 troops under his command, which is much stronger than Liu Bei. Just to attack Xuzhou, Yuan Shu mobilized [-] troops, and there will be more civilians in charge of logistics and food.

At this moment, Liu Bei is still sending someone to ask for help from Lu Bu, and he has already agreed to Lu Bu's most unreasonable request.As long as Yuan Shu retreats, he will give up several large cities in the north of Xuzhou to Lu Bu.

After this period of rest, both Lu Bu and Cao Cao have recovered to a certain extent. Cao Cao captured Shandong and defeated countless remnants of the Yellow Turbans. The food, grass and military strength have almost returned to their peak. Now he is going to start to recover Yanzhou.

Although Lu Bu occupies most of Yanzhou's territory, he wants to waste too much time here. Yanzhou is not an ideal base. In the place of the Four Wars, there are enemies on almost every side. If he had a choice, Lu Bu would even prefer to occupy Qingzhou. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, it is enough to deploy heavy troops on one side.

Now, Lu Bu can only try his best to expand his power. He knows that Cao Cao will definitely not let it go, but it doesn't matter, Lu Bu is not afraid, the worst is to fight again.

In order to cope with the possible battles that may occur next, Lu Bu has collected a lot of food and grass in Yanzhou, and recruited some recruits. His idea is very simple. Cao Cao will definitely try his best to attack Yanzhou. If the time comes, he will give up if he cannot fight. That's it.

However, he would make Cao Cao a mess.
