The first thousand and forty-third chapters, the defense retreats from the Central Plains

This is the first time Zhang Niujiao has arrived on the prairie. The journey seems very far. In fact, as long as you climb over Hengshan north of Changshan County, you can’t walk far away, you can see the old Great Wall. After passing through the Great Wall, you can reach Guangchang in Dai County for about half a day. You can walk from Guangchang for two days and walk from Dai County for another three days to reach the new Great Wall. From Zhangbei, you can enter the grassland.

There are basically roads along the way, but the road through Hengshan was slightly worse. After entering Dai County, there were carriages provided by Youzhou Army along the way. The speed of the people accompanying him increased. It took only five days to pass through Dai County and enter the boundary of Fengning County.

I walked about one-third of the trip here, but in Tian Yu's words, the road ahead is smooth and as long as you don't feel tired, it's easy to walk very well!

Zhang Niujiao looked at the last carriage carrying supplies passing the gate of the gate, bowed and bowed to Tian Yu:

"Little instructor, thank you all the way!"

"Haha, it's just my job. I can't say thank you. I won't give you the way I will send you. Next, Brother Zheluo will come to escort you."

"I dare not ask for help from the little instructor."

Tian Yu looked up at the endless grassland and the long dragon walking on the grassland. He said with some emotion: "Zhang Niujiao, the world in Mobei is very big, and it is very big. It is even larger than the entire Han Dynasty. To the west, there is a broad world. This is just the beginning. There are many Hu people in Mobei, which are not our race. They are brave and show off their might but do not have virtue. However, they can also be educated and utilized. After this, don't turn the Yellow Turban flag into a Humao Banner, which is regrettable!"

"Don't worry, little instructor. Although you and I have different ideals, it cannot be changed by being a Han Chinese. No matter how bold Zhang Niujiao is, he dare not forget his ancestors."

"Very good, go! From now on, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and there will be no obstacles!"

Zhang Niujiao saluted solemnly, knocking his feet hard on the abdomen of the war horse. The war horse neighed and ran towards the grassland.

In October of the sixth year of Guangxi, in the early snow, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Niujiao's vanguard, had 20,000 cavalrymen. 20,000 auxiliary soldiers and 100,000 civilians traveled thousands of miles to Huaiyuan Fortress, the last supply point in the south of the desert.

Then Zhang Niujiao's troops first passed through the desert and occupied a rich area of ​​water in the northwest of the Xianbei Mountains in the north of the desert. The civilians and auxiliary soldiers then headed north. A steady stream of supplies also passed through the desert and went north to the north of the desert. Zhang Niujiao began to establish the first settlement.

In November, the war was in full swing under Julu and Taocheng, and players from the Yellow Turban camp were suddenly discovered. On their mail route, a Taiping Mountain City, the ending point far north, appeared. A curious player took the mail coach and found out that the Taiping Mountain was actually north of the Daxinganling (Da Xianbei Mountain). It turned out that the Yellow Turbans were going to go far away from the Mobei route was not a rumor, but a strategy that was already being implemented.

The news came out and the player was shocked!

The Yellow Turban Army had two important significances for going to the north of the desert. One was that the Yellow Turban Army had since then jumped out of the Han army's encirclement and suppression. There was a possibility of long-term development; the second was that the war in Jizhou would be reduced from fighting to the death to delay time as much as possible and ensure that the Yellow Turban people could transfer smoothly.

This news also explains why Yuan Shao reduced the intensity of the battle after he captured Guangping. It seems that Yuan Shao also received news that the Yellow Turban Army would retreat in an entire way, so he fought a peaceful battle with the Yellow Turban Army. Only those who were still fighting to the death were those who didn't know what to do.

This made many players feel very poor. Fortunately, the tasks given by Zhang Jiao and Yuan Shao were quite generous, otherwise they would have offended the players.

For the strategic shift of the Yellow Turban Army, most of the players in the Yellow Turban Army supported the Yellow Turban Army. The Yellow Turban Army transferred to Mobei not only had the strength of the surrounding enemies, but also had a lot of threat from the Han army in the south because of the barriers of the desert and the mountains. However, there is no need to worry about not having an opponent. Not only did Mobei have a large number of Hu tribes, but also players in the Han army camp who were hunting in Mobei.

In other words, going far away from the Mobei region will alleviate the survival worries of the Yellow Turban Army, but it will not make the players in the Yellow Turban camp feel bored. Therefore, this decision has been supported by the majority of players. Of course, there are also those who do not agree with it. However, they can go south to Mount Tai or Tongbai Mountain, and there are also Yellow Turban banners that insist on fighting there.

However, the spread of news affected the morale of the Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Turban camp players on the battlefield, and the will to fight was no longer so tenacious, allowing Yuan Shao to take the opportunity to take the initiative on the periphery of Julu. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Yan had to give up Julu and retreat to Boxiang to continue to establish a defense line.

Afterwards, Gongsun Zan captured Zhongqiu, and the defenders of Zhongqiu retreated to their houses. The Yellow Turban Army's front line was loose and they could only resist step by step and slowly retreated, which accelerated the speed of the Yellow Turban Army's population heading north.

Gongsun Zan, who occupied Yangquan City, Leping County, actually wanted to raid Jingxing Pass and capture Zhending to cut off the Yellow Turban Army's retreat. However, he was defeated by Bai Bo at Jingxing Pass, and Gongsun Yue was almost dead again. Gongsun Zan, who suffered a loss, finally calmed down his fever mind and turned to Zhang Liao intently, turning the direction of the attack towards Yangyi, Yuci, and Guangmu.

"Fang Zhiwen finally intervened! He finally intervened!"

Lu Bu walked back and forth in front of the map, looking up at the marks on the map from time to time, frowned, and a scorching flame leaping in his eyes. His right hand was only holding the hilt of the sword on his waist, and his body exuded the breath of Wuwei County, like a beast that chose people to eat.

Pang Yuan sat quietly behind the desk on one side, put down a booklet in his hand, looked up at Lu Bu and said, "General, you are walking around like this so hard that it makes people unable to concentrate!"

"Uh, someone is upset!"

"Then the general go outside and play with the big elves for a while!"

"You've been so angry with someone!"

"Haha, General, this world is like a chess game. When we take a single piece of the ball, the other party will lose one. We can't teach you all the benefits. So what's the fun? In life, isn't it just that we have to have opponents to have fun!"

"Well, that's right. But it's natural for the Ming Dao and Ming Gu to attack a certain family, but now it's so easy to fight between Jizhou. Both sides are fighting intrigues, which is very anxious!"

"I understand, the general feels that he has nowhere to use his strength!"

"That's right, Yan Liang is like a turtle huddled in the turtle shell. He will never die in the city. We will conquer each city one by one. When will it be so big, what's even more atrocity is that the ones who have won the bloody battle are still empty. What's the battle this is called? "

Pang Yuan put away the smile on his face and said righteously: "General, Yuan Shao's purpose is to delay time and try to delay time so that he can successfully complete the war on the Northern Line. Now it seems that Fang Zhiwen supports Yuan Shao to unify Jizhou, otherwise he would not have opened the door of convenience and sent the Yellow Turbans to Mobei to start over. Speaking of which, I really admire Fang Zhiwen's courage. He is not afraid that the Yellow Turbans will become a climate in Mobei in the future and will attack Youzhou in turn?"

"Tsk! If the Yellow Turbans have the ability to attack Youzhou, you don't have to wait for the future. Youzhou will be even stronger in the future! A person who has nothing begins and has a strong foundation. Unless there is a problem within Youzhou, there will be no chance for the Yellow Turban Army. Besides, if there is a problem within Youzhou, the powerful people occupying Youzhou will be the Central Plains. When will it be the turn of the Yellow Turban Army?"

"Haha, too. Zhang Jiao was eliminated in this way, but he also gained a new life. Yuan Shao unified Jizhou at a small price with the support of Youzhou. Next, the competition for Yanzhou became the focus. Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan suddenly made efforts. If General Zhang Liao could defeat Gongsun Zan, our army could have attacked Yuan Shao on both sides."

Lu Bu sighed regretfully. Zhang Liao's problem was that his troops were insufficient and his territory was too large. However, after this rebalancing, Gongsun Zan's offensive would soon be eased. Similarly, the iron army had been transferred back to Yan County, and Gongsun Zan would not ignore the back of his butt.

"Fuqing, as stated, Yuan Shao will soon increase his military investment in Henan and compete with our army for Yanzhou?"

"This is certain. Therefore, on the one hand, we must try our best to seize better strategic nodes, and on the other hand, we must increase internal rectification and construction, accelerate military training and material reserves. The Yanzhou War will definitely begin soon, and the surrounding Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and even Gongsun Zan will not stop. We will face a strong counterattack from the enemy. Only after we successfully resist the enemy's counterattack will the entire Yanzhou be stable."

Lu Bu thought carefully about Pang Yuan's words, which contained a profound meaning.

"Re-Qing refers to the morale of the army, the people, and the hearts of the court officials?"

"Yes! The general is wise, and the morale of the army is not a big problem. With the general, the morale of the army will not be lost, but the people will be unstable. On the one hand, the newly occupied territory needs to be consolidated and built. When Yanzhou is attacked from all sides, will it be in chaos before the war? Secondly, the hearts of all the ministers. If everyone is half-hearted at the crisis or even turns against each other, that is trouble!"

Lu Bu frowned, his face filled with coldness: "Hmph! Let them see if the knife in a certain family is fast!"

"Haha, the force cannot be suppressed for a long time. General, internal struggles are not based on swords, but on swords that have not been cut down. In the end, it depends on wisdom! My subordinates think that the general should ask Lord Wang for Miss Diao Chan as soon as possible. Does the general like Miss Diao Chan?"

"Uh, why did this suddenly talk about this? What does this have to do with stabilizing the hearts of the people and the hearts of the ministers?" Lu Bu's face was a little twisted, and everyone knew what he meant in his heart when he seemed worried about gains and losses.

"Why doesn't it matter? If the general can marry Wang Situ, the military and political affairs will be united, and the ministers will be at ease. Those who have different thoughts will have to think again. When the ministers' hearts are stable, the people's hearts will be guaranteed! Therefore, the affairs of the general and Miss Diao Chan are not only the private affairs of the two, but also the official affairs, involving the security of Yanzhou and the stability of the court."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said reluctantly: "A simple thing, I will tell you about it, and it will become complicated. This matter is really so important."

"It's really important, but if the general does not like Miss Diao Chan, his subordinates will think of another way."
