"My lord, Mr. Guangping's words are very good. My lord, you must not miss this opportunity." Tian Feng also analyzed: "Cao's army sent troops to Qingzhou instead of Liaocheng and went straight to the battlefield in the plains. He chose to take the Jibei Road and go north to Jinan. His goal must be

This is Licheng. If Cao Jun successfully captures this choke point, Tian

The two thieves Kai and Kong Rong will inevitably withdraw completely and retreat to Jinan. Linzi, Beihai and other places will defend the city. If our army does not seize this God-given opportunity and immediately increase its troops in Qingzhou, it will not only lose the opportunity for a decisive battle, but also miss the opportunity to defeat the drowned dog Quan Quan.

Annihilating the enemy is such a God-given opportunity that only comes once in a while!"

"My lord, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back." Xun Yu's fourth brother Xun Chen also encouraged: "Although increasing troops in Qingzhou at this time may cause our army's casualties to increase than expected, it can save our army countless

With precious money, food and time, our army can then free up its troops on the southern front to eradicate the traitor Gongsun Zan with all its strength, officially unify the four states of Jiyou and Qing Dynasty faster, and also reduce the loss of money, food and soldiers of our army."

Several loyal counselors suggested this. Shen Pei, Feng Ji and other Yuan Shangdang were also undecided and did not speak. The indecisive Yuan Sangong inevitably began to waver and said hesitantly: "Although your words are reasonable.

, but the number of troops that can be dispatched in Yecheng is only 20,000 at most, and the Bingzhou team has just passed Huguan. At most, it will only reach Shexian County, and the main force will be assembled to rush to Qingzhou. I am afraid it will be too late."

"No problem." Xun Chen shook his head and suggested: "My lord, today is the second day of March. Forty thousand reinforcements from Bingzhou have arrived in the plains from She County. It will only take twenty days at most. After a little rest, they can arrive in March at the earliest.

The decisive battle of Qingzhou will be launched on the 25th. In this case, the lord can send a fast horse to order Cao's army to reinforce and slow down his advance.

With the speed of our troops, we arrived at Licheng on March 25th to launch an siege. In this way, the main force of our army formed a pincer attack with Cao's army, making it difficult for the Qingzhou rebel army to follow the rear and being attacked from both sides. It also prevented Cao's army from passing by.

By conquering Licheng early and alerting the enemy, Tian Kai and Kong Rong were forced to retreat, depriving our army of the opportunity for a decisive battle."

As soon as Xun Chen came up with this plan, Tian Feng and Ju Shou, two sensible people, naturally applauded. However, after hesitating and hesitating for half an hour, Sangong Da Yuan finally nodded and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay,

Just do it this way, although it is a bit cheap for Xuzhou Tao Ying, but Tao Ying is my son-in-law, and he is considered my half son. He is usually filial and obedient, so it doesn't matter if it gives him some advantages."

"My lord, in order to lure the enemy deep into the battlefield and prevent them from escaping," Jushou suggested again, "My lord, you might as well secretly order the eldest son to cheat a few more battles to build confidence in the enemy, and even deliberately let the Tiankong bandit army break through our Yellow River defense line.

It doesn’t matter, anyway, as long as the main force of our army arrives and Cao Jun stabs Tian Kong’s bandit army in the eye of Licheng at the same time, it will be difficult for our army to lose the decisive battle of Qingzhou.”

The Third Duke of Yuan Dynasty also experienced the sweetness of luring the enemy deep into the battle with Gongsun Zan, so this time the Third Duke of Yuan Dynasty did not hesitate at all, and immediately nodded in agreement with Jushu's suggestion. He immediately asked his secretary Chen Lin to write a letter to his son to order Yuan

Tan pretended to be defeated, leaving the desperate Tian Kaihe

Kong Rong saw the hope of victory and prevented them from running away. Here Yuan Shang saw that the matter was done. No longer hesitating, he immediately stood up and raised his hands and said: "Father, I am willing to lead the main force of Bingzhou to the plains to reinforce my brother, and join forces with my brother to annihilate the Qingzhou bandit army.

Recover the entire territory of Qingzhou for my father."

"You?" Sangong Da Yuan glanced at his beloved son and thought that it would be strange for you to work together with your brother. So Sangong Da Yuan shook his head and said: "My son is too young, and

Shaojing Battle Formation, leading the main force in a decisive battle with the Qingzhou bandit army, it is a bit difficult to leave it to you now, so don't be busy, let me think about it carefully before talking about it."

Yuan Shang retreated in disappointment, but secretly worried in his heart, "Don't hand over all the troops to Yuan Tan. In this case, I will be in trouble, and my brother-in-law will be in trouble too."

………………

Mr. Yuan Shang may have been worried for nothing. Sangong Yuan also overestimated his own prestige and even more seriously underestimated the sincerity of Mr. Cao's cooperation with him. So when Mr. Sangong Yuan's order was delivered through a fast horse, the three men

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the order to launch an attack was sent to Yanzhou and to Cao Ren, the commander-in-chief of Cao's army who had arrived in Dongping. Although Cao Ren was very surprised that Yuan Shaojun had

He ordered his own army to reinforce Qingzhou as soon as possible and now ordered his own army to slow down the pace of the advance. Cheng Yu, an old fox who volunteered to be the staff officer of this army, saw through the wishful thinking of Sangong Yuan at a glance, and immediately suggested to Cao Ren: "General Zixiao, Qian

We must not listen to this order, our army must do the opposite and seize the time to go north to attack Licheng and force the Tian and Kong thieves to retreat!"

"Why did Mr. Zhongde say that?" Cao Ren asked in surprise.

"Yuan Shao is planning to launch a decisive battle in Qingzhou." Mr. Cheng Yu, the most vicious man under Boss Cao, sneered: "Tian Kai and Kong Rong made a desperate move and marched westward with the purpose of driving Yuan Shao's army out of Qingzhou, and then fighting our army with Xuzhou

The thieves were defeated one by one, but their perseverance and tactics are worthy of praise.

However, they also gave Yuan Shao an excellent opportunity to decide Qingzhou in one battle. I concluded that the old man must be determined to launch a decisive battle in Qingzhou, so they set a time for our army to enter, so as to prevent our army from arousing the enemy and scaring Tian away.

Kai Kong merged with the two thieves, causing him to lose this God-given opportunity."

"Of course, although Yuan Shao's move can reduce some of our army's losses, for the lord and our army, the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits." Cheng Yu analyzed Cao Ren again: "Because once Yuan Shao is in the field,

Defeat the main force of the Tian-Kong coalition, then he will attack Qingzhou

The battle in the remaining cities will reduce a lot of losses and pressure, and will greatly speed up the conquest of the entire Qingzhou area. Then, we can concentrate all our efforts on attacking Gongsun Zan's main force in Youzhou, thus greatly shortening the time to unify Youji Qing and merge the four states.

In other words, only one harm can bring a hundred benefits."

"Our army's mortal enemy, the little thief Tao Ying, will also gain a lot of benefits from this, because once Yuan Shao defeats the main force of the Qingzhou thief army in advance, his pressure to attack Qingzhou after the wheat is ripe will be greatly reduced, and it will also help him speed up the end.

The progress of the Qingzhou war has allowed him to free up his hands more quickly to embarrass our army, which is of great benefit to him and no harm at all."

"The only one whose interests are harmed is our army! Because the traitor Tao Ying is the mortal enemy of our army, and the old man Yuan Shao is also very dissatisfied with the fact that our army has the emperor. He wants to hold the emperor hostage to make the princes salivate. Once they escape from Qingzhou as soon as possible

, then our army must be attacked from both sides.

The north and the south are in urgent need! Therefore, it is right for our army to break through Licheng as soon as possible, force the two bandits Tian Kong to retreat to the hinterland of Qingzhou, drag the old man Yuan Shao and the little traitor Tao Ying into the hinterland of Qingzhou, and make the war in Qingzhou protracted.

Our army only does one harm but has hundreds of benefits!"

After listening to Cheng Yu's detailed analysis, Cao Cao's cousin Cao Ren didn't even blink an eyelid, and immediately made a decision: "Go north to Qingzhou at full speed. We must reach Licheng within five days. We will give it to you in three days."
