[The chapter number of the previous chapter was wrong again, it should be Chapter 427. Unfortunately, I can't correct it. I'm so troublesome! Sorry!]

Zhang Jiao's high-profile appearance made all the rumors self-defeated. The brothers Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao awkwardly congratulated the elder brother for accepting their adopted son Zhang Yan and then went back to their territory. Zhang Yan was at its peak and became the second-ranked figure in Julu City. The Yellow Turban soldiers in Julu City also changed their anxiety a few days ago and showed a high momentum, which made Huangfu Song outside the city a little strange. He hurriedly asked the spies to step up their investigations into what happened in the city.

However, no matter what happened in the city, no matter what players jumped up and down to inquire about the inside story in Julu City, and their speculation and curiosity about Zhang Jiao's health, it cannot change the current situation of the long-term confrontation formed inside and outside Julu City, nor can it change the current situation of the entire Jizhou and even the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion.

The strategic stalemate stage has been formed.

So, Fang Zhiwen's prediction was achieved.

Zhao Yun chose to go north to Anguo to assist in defense, so those who went south to Qingzhou were Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong. Of course, this was also Fang Zhiwen's choice, and Zhao Yun was chosen. Although he was dissatisfied, there was no way. Anguo's defense was also very important. Fang Zhiwen must be prepared. Once he took action in Qingzhou, Anguo and even Fengning County may be retaliated against by players.

This time Fang Zhiwen went south to only mobilize 10,000 cavalry. Of course, if necessary, Fang Zhiwen could also draw infantry from Duan Zhiran's naval forces to participate in the war. But don't forget that Fang Zhiwen did not go to Qingzhou alone. He also had an accomplice, that is the famous Lu Bulu God of War! With this great god here, how could he not be able to conquer those small cities in Qingzhou?

Of course, Fang Zhiwen's target of attack is also of particular importance and cannot be beaten randomly. Of course, if Lu Bu beats himself randomly, it would be different. It has nothing to do with Fang Zhiwen. Even if Lu Bu captures Linzi, the capital of Qingzhou, Fang Zhiwen is willing to accept the population sold by Lu Bu. As for the explanations related to the player guild, is it necessary?

To put it bluntly, what Fang Zhiwen did was to use his own ship to transport Lu Bu's 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry from Qinghekou Port to Duxian Port. Please don't have anything to do with Fang Zhiwen anymore.

It is very clear what Fang Zhiwen Lu Bu wants, because the terrain environment in the north of Bingzhou is different from Fengning County, it seems that it is short of food! Now Fang Zhiwen is opening up the Lelang granary. As long as Lelang can have a bumper harvest in three months, this year Fang Zhiwen's old grain can be sold. It is the most cost-effective to sell it to Lu Bu, who uses the population to pay for the goods.

Where did the population come from? Naturally, it was stolen from the players.

Where did the player's population come from? This has to be pushed to the Intelligent Brain Dada. In order to balance the large amount of damage caused by the population in the war, Intelligent Brain Dada tried every means to quickly replenish the population from the player's territory. Therefore, don't think that the population of the player's territory is an incremental population that fell from the sky. In fact, the total population still develops with a reasonable increase. Of course, the only thing that is more difficult to control is the player itself. Tens of millions of players are a huge population. Well, if there are no corresponding indigenous people to balance it, what will it be?

It's a long way to go. Back to the main text, it's completely meaningless to stay in Bo Luojin after the Battle of Guangping. It's even more boring to follow Huangfu Song to Julu City to release the horses. So Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu went north at the same time, one said to strengthen the offensive against Lu Nu, and the other said to try to attack Shangquyang.

However, the two people who went north together disappeared after they arrived in Anguo. Cheng Lian took Lu Bu's other 10,000 cavalry to Tang County near Shangquyang. Zhao Yun stayed in Anguo County to cultivate his mind and character, Tian Feng also stayed to assist Li Xueyin, while Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu took the airmail ship to Anguo to return to Qinghekou Port, and then quietly appeared at Duxian Port under everyone's nose.

When it comes to postal ships, it is necessary to explain that this is something that belongs to the system of postal ships, similar to postal coaches, which passes between cities with ports. This kind of thing is prevalent in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins, and is less in the north. The first one to be opened in the Haihe River basin was Qinghekou Port to Jixian. Anguo built a port and upgraded to a third-level town before it was opened. Although the price is more expensive than the transportation of its own ships, fortunately the safety factor is much higher, at least Gongsun Zan dared not rob the postal ships.

Beihai County is located in the central part of Qingzhou and southeast of Beihai County. It is a relatively barren area in Qingzhou, and the northwest of Beihai County is a relatively high-development area. This part of the areas include three counties and states, Le'an County, Qi State, and Jinan County.

These three counties and states can be said to be the most developed areas in Qingzhou. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the competition between players also gathered in this area. There are small towns everywhere in this area, and there is a small city almost twenty miles away. These small cities are now divided by players. The Le'an County is under Linji (level three town), the Jinan County is under Dongpingling (level three town), and the Qi County is under Linzi (level one city), and the Yellow Turban Faction players are also under the hands of the Yellow Turban Faction.

Especially the fall of Linzi at that time was definitely a very dramatic and classic battle example. Linzi was compromised from the inside by players' forces, and it was not a force, but a group of forces. Of course, this was thanks to the incompetence of the Qingzhou governor at that time.

Therefore, Linzi is now a joint-stock city, becoming the base camp of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban camp and a free trade city, which is very prosperous and lively. The local garrison is in the form of a coalition, hosted by a player association.

Fang Zhiwen naturally did not think about going to fight Linzi. Although there was a population of 600,000 there, it was very attractive. The problem was that with his 30,000 troops and Lu Bu, it was obviously not realistic to capture a first-class city for a period of time, and the two of them were not so crazy.

However, both Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu were staring at the northwest of Qingzhou. As for the vast southeast, both of them gave up automatically due to population and strength. In fact, the choice of northwest of Qingzhou was entirely because there were basically no top player forces here, and the top player guilds were concentrated in the southeast of Qingzhou.

"Guanting?! Why is Guanting? It's a small town that has just been promoted to a first-level town. Its population is only 50,000, I remember you said it once."

In the military camp outside the capital county, Fang Zhiwen, Lu Bu and their important subordinates were in a military meeting before the war. This military camp was originally a general of Kong Rong, Zong Bao, but now it was temporarily borrowed by Fang Zhiwen. Zong Bao naturally knew what Fang Zhiwen was. The Zong family was also a big family in Beihai and had close trade with Miyun and Lelang. Therefore, Zong Bao felt that Fang Zhiwen was half of his lord. The Zong family had no ambitions, just wanted to make money.

"Haha, because Guanting is the gate of Shouguang, if you don't take down Guanting, how can you attract Shouguang's defenders to come out? How can you take the opportunity to take down Shouguang's third-level town? Shouguang's city wall is six meters high? Do you think it's so easy to climb up?"

"Haha, six zhang is not considered high!" Lu Bu was full of passion, and Fang Zhiwen was speechless. Even if he admired him, he was a little disregarded. You are not afraid, how many soldiers will die?

Lu Bu smiled and looked at Fang Zhiwen's defeated look, waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's listen to you. Take down Guanting first, lure the enemy out, and then attack Shouguang, which is insufficient in the defensive army, reduce losses and strive to maximize profits. I know!"

Lu Bu has never been stupid. On the contrary, he is very smart. However, when a person's force reaches the extreme, he will gradually become superstitious about force and believe that fists can solve everything, and he will use his mind to solve problems less and less. Fang Zhiwen has known Lu Bu for some years, so he naturally noticed these changes in Lu Bu. Although this is not a good thing, it actually has nothing to do with Fang Zhiwen.

Fang Zhiwen shook his head: "You can't send cavalry when attacking Guanting, in order to prevent our main force and identity from being exposed, first use infantry... 10,000, plus Zong Bao's 20,000 to take Guanting down with thunder."

"Zongbao!" Everyone was shocked. Is it necessary to deal with such a small city, 30,000 infantry will be used. Besides, Zongbao's troops' combat effectiveness is really worrying.

"Sir Fang, I have to go into battle too?"

Zong Bao was not afraid. In fact, he was still very young and had never been to the real battlefield. He was still looking forward to the battlefield. He just didn't know if he would have such thoughts after seeing the blood and cruelty of the battlefield. His surprise at this moment was of course from the surprise that he could also go to the battlefield. He originally thought that he had nothing to do.

"Well, you just go and act like that, of course, if you want to try a real war, it's OK."

Fang Zhiwen smiled strangely. To be honest, Zong Bao's troops can still fight compared to players' troops, but compared with Lu Bu's elite infantry, that's all!

Zhang Liao and Taishi Zhaorong quickly understood Fang Zhiwen's idea. It turned out that he wanted Zong Bao to confuse the Yiren in the Yellow Turban camp, so that they thought it was a war launched by the Beihai official army. Moreover, with the strength of Zong Bao's troops, it would not scare Yiren, so that Shouguang dared not come out.

With this force between Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu, it is most suitable for quick battles and field battles, and cannot be fought into a protracted battle. Once it becomes a protracted battle, it may fall into the ocean of the Yi Ren troops. Even if it cannot be killed, it will be drowned.

Therefore, the generals here understand that once the identities of Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu are exposed, they need to conduct a rapid raid and break the attack, and create a powerful force among the three counties in the northwest of Qingzhou. Then, they force Yiren to fight on their own, so that they can gain the greatest benefit in this battle to go south. (To be continued)
