Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 827 Kong Ming’s Conspiracy 1
The crusade against Yuan Shu has been going on for almost a month. During this month, the princes who actually sent troops were Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao. The other princes who agreed to send troops have not made any moves so far, including Gongsun Continuing, the powerful Northern Xinjiang Army still has not entered the territory of Yuzhou.

Cao Cao has urged Gongsun Ce to send troops more than once, but the envoys he sent could not even see the shadow of Gongsun Xu. According to the last news, Gongsun Xu is already in the north of Bingzhou at this moment. The spies under Cao Cao once witnessed Gongsun Xu leading Lu Bu The others were about to go to the grassland where the Hu and Qiang lived together, and something happened there.

Without the participation of the northern border army, Cao Cao's fight here was not as smooth as he had imagined. However, it is an indisputable fact that his 20 troops suppressed Ji Ling's 20 troops.There are rumors in Yuzhou that Ji Ling's ability is not good enough. He has an army of 10 and the advantages of the city.

Although Yuan Shu was in the deep palace, sometimes he would ask about the situation on the front line. When he learned that Chen Lan in the west had won consecutive victories, while Ji Ling in the north had lost troops, he couldn't bear it anymore. Ling was the number one general under his command, and when he proclaimed himself emperor, he named Ji Ling the General of Hussars. From this, it can be seen how much he valued Ji Ling.

Several letters were sent to Ji Ling one after another. Yuan Shu asked Ji Ling to counterattack and defeat Cao Cao as quickly as possible. But in the end, he didn't know what Ji Ling replied to Yuan Shu. He didn't pay too much attention to the war in the north, and now he is living a life of drunkenness and dreaming every day, playing and playing with divas and beauties in the resplendent palace, Yuan Shu feels that he has never been so happy in his life.

On the western border of Ludi, Ji Ling built another line of defense here. Cao's army was fierce, and Ji Ling had already lost the entire Ludi, so he had no choice but to retreat to the border.

"General, since our army fought with Cao's army, our army has never taken the initiative to attack. The morale of the army is low. We must fight back." A general said to Ji Ling, "We have lost the whole of Ludi. Back off, I must be sorry for the lord's trust, Chen Lan has already defeated Liu Bei several times in a row, but we have lost cities one after another, if this continues, how can this battle continue."

"As for how to deal with the enemy, this commander has his own decision." Ji Ling replied coldly: "I have already said that I am fully responsible for the war, and the orders I give represent the orders of the lord. You just need to Execution is not to affect our actions because of the situation in front of us.

I know that you are all holding your breath now, and I understand your feelings. Chen Lan can win battles, but we lose face in a row. You should be the lord and serve His Majesty, and everything should be based on His Majesty's interests. If you only affect His Majesty's plan because of your own gains and losses, how many of you will pay for it. "

"The last general is guilty." The general nodded and said, "It's just that the morale of the army is low, and it's not an option to continue like this. If we can't win a few battles, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable. Moreover, those rumors before are now also in the army. It is rumored in the middle, I am afraid, the soldiers will be disappointed with the general,,,,,, "

"Rumors, hum." Ji Ling sneered and said, "Since the day we served His Majesty, which day have we not spent in rumors, why, do you now know the horror of rumors?
Let me calm down, you should know why there are rumors, why they appear at this time, I tell you, it is because Cao Cao has nothing to do, every time he captures a city of ours, he has to pay thousands of people, just Countless food, grass and weapons have to be wasted. Let me tell you, Cao Cao won the city, but he paid a very high price. "

"Nuo,,,,,," the other generals were intimidated by Ji Ling's intimidation, they rarely saw Ji Ling get angry, even in the most difficult times, Ji Ling always restrained himself as much as possible, but now, He got angry with his subordinates because of the rumors. It seems that Ji Ling is very dissatisfied with the current state of his subordinates.

On the other side, Cao Cao is also preparing for the next attack at this moment. For Yuzhou, he must take it. He knows that he has no time. To capture Qingzhou, such speed and strength made him terrified.

Cao Cao has always been afraid to agree to the northern border army going south, because he didn't know if he would be tricked by Gongsun Xu. Therefore, his initial plan was to only need the northern border army to provide food, grass, military equipment and war horses. He didn't want and didn't want the Beijiang Army to send troops to join the battle, but, up to the present position, the Beijiang Army still failed to reach an agreement with him. He originally wanted to put pressure on Gongsun Xu through Liu Xie. He couldn't find it, and it's not that he hasn't looked for other people, such as Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, etc., but they all said that they have no right to make decisions, and they dare not make decisions.

Facing Yuan Shu's number one general, Cao Cao was at a loss now. He never thought that Ji Ling would be so willing to be a coward. He had already used the trick to lure the enemy. Ji Ling would rather miss the opportunity to attack.

Therefore, he had no choice but to choose this method. Sima Yi also said that if he wanted to defeat Ji Ling, he had to start from the inside first, and at the same time, he had to start from Yuan Shu. Cao Cao was already making preparations. Yuan Shu's side, Soon someone will say bad things about Ji Ling. Presumably, Ji Ling will also be in an embarrassing situation by then.

When Cao Cao and Ji Ling continued to confront each other, Chen Lan in the west continued to attack Liu Bei after replenishing food and reinforcements. The continuous victories made Chen Lan mistakenly think that he was Han Xin reborn. Maybe he will stick to it like Ji Ling, but he is facing Liu Bei, who has no reputation and no territory. After the initial contact, Chen Lan won the victory, so much so that he thinks Liu Bei and his subordinates are unbearable one strike.

Liu Bei's vanguard troops were all defeated at the moment. In the plain area, they still knew how to rely on each other to retreat, but once they entered the mountainous area, these people were in chaos, and each of them wanted to escape as soon as possible. As a result, the originally solid formation collapsed. There was a vacancy, and when Chen Lan's army caught up, the defeated army here fled into the mountains in a panic.

"Soon, soon." On the mountain peak, Zhuge Liang lightly shook his feather fan and said with a smile, "My lord's subordinates are here. This battle will at least add tens of thousands of troops to my lord, hahaha..."
