Chapter 1013 Comeback
As soon as Tian Feng left, the smile on a certain city lord's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a faint ridicule.
Chen Gong and Lu Zhi walked in and sat down one after another.
Chen Gong frowned and said, "Yuan Benchu asked Tian Feng to comfort him, but he didn't want his lord to be insincere. It can be seen that Yuan Benchu's large-scale attack on Qingzhou this time is not just as simple as asking for trouble for Liu Bei."
"Not bad, the person who came here!"
Lu Zhi's face was as deep as water, and he said a little annoyed: "If Yuan Benchu had the intention to get along with me, Fengxiang, and before sending troops to Qingzhou, he should have sent people to contact us, but he did not, but he soon arrived at Qi before sending people here. If I was right, Yuan Shao hoped that before taking Pingyuan, Le'an and Jinan, he would try his best to avoid conflicts with us. Even, he might still hope that we would agree to him to attack Beihai, and when he completely defeated Liu Bei, he would gather the power of Jiyou and Qing four states to attack us. By then, the goal of "aggressing revenge for Kong Rong" would no longer be Liu Bei, but A Niu."
Lu Zhi has been an official in the court for many years and has seen many political struggles. He has remained strong for decades. Obviously, it is not up to luck. At least, there is almost no secret among the princes in his eyes.
A Niu seemed calm: "Don't bother with me, sir. We didn't realize that Yuan Shao's thoughts are just a battle. Well, that guy relied on his power to make a big move not long ago and secretly sent someone to invite me over. Seeing that he was very enthusiastic about me, I promise not to beat him to death."
A city lord Lu Zhicheng was amused and smiled with his beard.
Chen Gong was also a little laughed, but Chen Gong was rigorous in his actions and did not forget the serious matters. He said, "Lord, three batches of envoys have arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture today. Please send troops quickly."
"Three waves... Qingzhou Prefecture can't stand it so quickly?"
Lu Zhi sighed: "They have been supporting it for a month. Now the plains are almost all falling, and Jinan is two out of ten. In addition, Liu Xuande has been seriously ill for more than a month and has not recovered yet. His son Liu Zhen is not in a state of power. Although he temporarily takes charge of the affairs of the state, his heart is unstable. Qingzhou Prefecture is in a difficult situation."
A Niu nodded, and he also noticed Liu Zhen.
There was a player suddenly appearing next to Liu Bei, which did not attract much attention.
But as Liu Bei fell ill, Liu Zhen actually took charge of Qingzhou. His identity could no longer be concealed. Now few players don’t know that Liu Zhen was a lucky person reincarnated as the son of Liu Bei. However, almost no one knows how many times Liu Zhen committed suicide for the family of the princes, and no one knows that Liu Zhen’s previous life was a famous powerful vacuum cleaner in the past. The news that someone was reincarnated as the son of the princes made the player world an uproar, and no one expected that the third road to the princes actually existed, and some players had succeeded. Countless players hated that they did not commit suicide bravely.
There are signs that after Liu Zhen came to the front stage, the suicide rate of adventurers rose sharply, and some players who felt that they were not doing well or believed that they had the potential to win the jackpot were on the road of suicide...
Lu Zhi's subtitle was obviously thinking that Qingzhou Prefecture was no longer sustainable and tended to send troops to Fengxiang.
A Niu turned to Chen Gong and asked, "What do you think the Gongtai thinks?"
"If there is no external force intervention, Jinan can last for at least half a month, but if our army only sent troops then, Qingzhou Prefecture would be too weak, so that our army would be under too much pressure. In addition, Qingzhou Prefecture has agreed to our request and handed over 20,000 prefecture troops to our army to dispatch. Third, the riot of the Hundred Tribes ended, and I, Fengxiang, was able to calmly dispatch troops and generals, and now all arrangements have been completed. My subordinates think that the time has come."
Qingzhou Prefecture has limited mobile troops, and at its best, there were only 60,000 people. After being allocated to Fengxiang 20,000, Qingzhou Prefecture's troops were extremely tight. But A Niu didn't care about these things. At this stage, he was to help Qingzhou Prefecture defend the enemy. There was no reason to let Feng Xiangerlang fight on the front line to fight desperately. The city lord was quite persistent in this regard, and Qingzhou Prefecture had to accept it helplessly. As a result, Zhang Fei became the commander of the barely-armed commander. Fortunately, Yuan Tan's troops attacked Le'anguo were not many. Zhang Fei led the garrison troops of Mingcheng and could also defend the city, but he was unable to attack anymore.
Zhang Fei and Jian Yong understood the behavior of a certain city lord. Although Qiang Power was unwilling to accept it, only by inducing Fengxiang City to join the war as soon as possible could Yuan Shao feel that it would be difficult to take down Qingzhou Prefecture, thereby increasing the possibility of making peace with Yuan Shao in secret. He could only hold his nose and admit defeat.
Lu Zhi and Chen Gong had the same views, and A Niu did not hesitate any longer.
After Yuan Shao's army fought with Qingzhou Prefecture for a month, Qi's prime minister Zheng Aniu finally stopped silent and sent troops to fight against Yuan.
Yuan Shang was the first to discover that Qi State sent troops.
Yuan Shang bypassed Dongpingling, the capital of Jinan, and planned to attack Tugu County. As a result, he met a Qingzhou army outside Tugu City, with a population of about 23,000. Compared with Yuan Shang's right-wing army, which had more than 45,000 troops, it was half less, but Yuan Shangling did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
The banner of that army is Fengniu Banner!
It’s not that Yuan Shang was timid, but because Yuan Shao repeatedly explained that it was not advisable to take the initiative to fight against Fengxiang’s army at this stage. The appearance of Fengxiang’s army in Jinan County means that the Yuan family finally had the most unwilling situation to see when they conquer Qingzhou, which was that Qi State and Qingzhou Prefecture joined forces.
Even if Yuan Shang wants to take the initiative, he has to consider his own hardness.
The Fengxiang army includes three thousand crossbow soldiers!
The Fengxiang crossbow soldiers are notorious. Yuan's army has suffered a lot before, and there are still shadows in the army today.
In fact, there are only 3,000 troops, and only the 3,000 troops first climbed the dead soldiers are Fengxiang's direct troops, and the other 20,000 troops are from Qingzhou Prefecture. However, with 20,000 heavy infantry in Qingzhou, the dead soldiers first climbed the dead soldiers can unscrupulously exert their long-range power. If they really fight, Yuan may not be able to gain a advantage.
Yuan Shang also understood this.
Now that the situation is not clear, Yuan Shang still has many concerns: the appearance of Fengxiang's army outside Tugu City is not enough to prove that Fengxiang has been officially involved in the war. What if someone just passes by? Will the direct fight be made to "take the initiative to provoke the war"? What's more, even if Fengxiang requests troops to interfere in Qingzhou Prefecture, Fengxiang's investment in this war still needs to be determined. Passive defense and active attack will directly affect Yuan's way of dealing with it.
So Yuan Shang chose to restrain himself and ordered the troops to take a detour and make a move toward a new goal.
Yuan Shang wanted to see how Fengxiang Army would respond.
If the Fengxiang army remained still or retreated into the city, the Yuan army needed to further understand Fengxiang's attitude. If the Fengxiang army took the initiative to pounce on it, Yuan Shang could immediately judge that Fengxiang's fighting will was very strong. Yuan army no longer had to waste energy to guess and test, and there was no discussion on the full war.
The Fengxiang Army's next actions shocked Yuan Shang.
They neither launched an attack on Yuan Shang nor retreated into the city, but the entire army was moving westward at a high speed!
Yuan Shang was unable to judge the true intentions of Fengxiang Army for a moment, and was not even sure whether Fengxiang Army appeared here and was hostile to Yuan Army. After all, they did not take action at all. After thinking about it, Yuan Shang simply sent people to the plains to inform the situation that the right army encountered outside Tugu City, and continued to lead the troops northward and attack another county town.
No matter what, Qingzhou Prefecture is now unable to take into account Jinan County, so it is always good to build more territory.
After the Central Army outside Pingyuan City received the news, Tian Feng and Ju Su were shocked.
Even though A Niu knew that Yuan's army was attacking Qingzhou Prefecture, he still sent a large number of Fengxiang troops into the war zone, and did not send anyone to explain to Yuan's army in advance, how could he be kind? Moreover, Tian Feng had just traveled to Fengxiang City, and A Niu did not reveal any verbal words. With the "unreasonable request" that Yuan Shao could not agree to, he tested Yuan Shao's uneasy intentions towards Qi. Then Fengxiang's army appeared in Jinan County, and there was no better explanation except for taking the initiative to participate in the war.
As for why they avoided the war and went west, the Fengxiang Army was probably planning to capture the rear of the right army...
Yuan Shao was furious and scolded a city lord for being "unaware of politeness". At the same time, he was worried that Yuan Shang would be cut off from his back and fall into danger. He quickly sent someone to ask Yuan Shang to temporarily suspend the attack. In order to avoid the worst case, Yuan Shao adopted Ju Su's suggestion. He asked the general Wen Chou to lead 30,000 troops and quickly went south to support the right army to prevent Yuan Shang from making any mistakes.
Before Wen Chou entered Jinan, he received bad news and Licheng fell.
Licheng was the first city captured by Yuan Shang in Jinan County. Licheng was captured and the rear of the right army was intercepted!
Yuan Shang also received the news that he could never believe this fact. He and Fengxiang Army parted ways in less than a day, and it took half a day to go from Tugu to Licheng. How could he capture a county town so quickly?
Cain's left hand looked ugly and said to Qiangli: "Zheng Aniu asked the Mingcheng Lord to fake the battle. After all, the princes' army attacked the Mingcheng, which did not affect the players' right to occupy the Mingcheng, and could also reduce the losses of both sides. Moreover, he also threatened to retaliate against the territory of those who did not cooperate. This is the case in Licheng. As soon as the cavalry of Fengxiang City arrived, the lord transferred the troops away from the city walls and important roads, and the Feiyi Camp easily captured the City Lord's Mansion."
Qiangli gritted his teeth: "Shameless! Isn't that Tai County also very dangerous?"
Cain: "No, the lord who now occupies Tai County is my fourth part. I asked him to reject Zheng Aniu's proposal. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't know the tricks..."
The retreat was cut off, and Yuan Shang decisively gave up on the attack and retreated towards Tai County. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Fengxiang Army on the way. Yuan Shang witnessed the terror of Fengxiang Crossbow Army with his own eyes. Three thousand first climbed the dead soldiers and became the nightmare of Yuan army soldiers. Their crazy and efficient killing greatly shook Yuan Shang's determination to win the right-road army, and the appearance of five thousand Wuhuan cavalry on the battlefield made the right-road army even worse.
After half a day of fierce battle, Yuan Shang suffered a tragic battle of casualties and had to break through with all his strength and sent a cavalry to the rear for help.
The roar met Wen Chou, who was shocked and urged the troops to bypass Licheng and rush to assist Yuan Shang at full speed.
However, the two thousand flying wing cavalry, who made full use of their speed and range advantages, kept raiding along the way, preventing Wen Chou's troops from moving faster. After dark, the Fei Wing Camp left. Wen Chou was afraid that Yuan Shang would be in trouble and led his troops to march overnight, but what he didn't know was that an hour ago, the Fengxiang infantry had ended the attack on Yuan Shang's troops, leaving only the Wuheng cavalry patrolling around Yuan Shang.
The Fengxiang infantry didn't run far either.
On the road that Wen Chou must pass, they dug some pits, cut down some trees, blocked some roads, and buried some fire-induced objects. When Wen Chou led his troops to arrive, they met Fengxiang infantrymen who welcomed him. In the gorgeous firelight, arrows were like locusts.
Wen Chou rushed left and right and tried his best to break out of the ambush circle, and the 30,000 troops had lost 10,000.
The next morning, Wen Chou finally met with Yuan Shang in Tai County. Before the two could eat breakfast, the wildfire crowd in Tai County found them and brought good news and bad news.
The good news is that the Fengxiang army did not come to attack Tai County, so the two generals don’t have to worry about safety issues for the time being.
The bad news is that the Fengxiang army continues to go westward and fights to the southern part of the plain!
If Fengxiang does not move, it will be like thunder when it moves. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
