Chapter 1230: Letting Cao Attack Liu
"Hahaha, Lu Bu's main force is trapped in Muzhou, and Yuan Shao is fighting everywhere, so there is no need to worry about this battle!"
In Qingzhou, in Linzi City, Zhao Yun looked at the latest report and laughed, and other generals of the Qingzhou Corps also showed happy smiles.
On the north-south, middle- and third-line battlefields, the most comfortable place to live is the northern line. It is a confrontation from beginning to end, and there is almost no large-scale bloody battle. The most fun thing to pass is the center line. The main ace army led by Shang Ji has fewer enemies and more enemies, and beats Yuan Shaojun violently, while the southern line army commanded by Zhao Yun is the most difficult army.
Zhao Yun led the Qingzhou Corps to monopolize the three main forces of Liu Bei, Cao, and Quyi, and their combat effectiveness was extremely different. As soon as the war started, Zhao Yun lost Pingyuan County and Jinan County, and the whole army shrank to Qiguo County, relying on the king-level city Linzi to resist the alliance's attack.
At the most dangerous time, a section of the city wall of Linzi City collapsed. Three peerless generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Xu Zhu led an elite army to charge, and the city wall almost fell.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun showed great power and defeated the attack of three people with one against three, and kept the city wall.
It was also after that time that Zhao Yun uncharacteristically asked Shang Ji for help. After Shang Ji considered it, he removed two combat legions from the rear to supplement the Qingzhou Corps, bringing the number of core legions in the Qingzhou Corps to seven.
The injection of new forces finally stabilized the situation in Qingzhou, and cooperated with the navy to barely resist the alliance's attack.
As the core general of the Shang Ji Army, Zhao Yun is naturally qualified to know the existence of the War Soul Army. He also understands that once Lv Bu enters the grassland, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will never come back.
However, Zhang Yan's betrayal surprised Zhao Yun, after all, he was not in charge of the secret front work, and it was Qian Huan who persuaded Zhang Yan to support Shang Ji, and Zhao Yun didn't understand it.
But after a little thought, you can understand that Yuan Shao, Cao, Liu Bei and others fought against Shang Ji because the three of them had the possibility of ascending to the top after killing Shang Ji. Facing the supreme throne, no one would give up. .
But Zhang Yan is different. Regardless of the success or failure of the war, Zhang Yan has no hope of reaching the top. And once Yuan Shao wins the final victory, Zhang Yan will definitely be liquidated. In this case, why not turn to Shang Ji early to fight for a generation of wealth?
Following the fire in Yuan Shao's backyard, most of the Jizhou army led by Qu Yi was transferred back to Jizhou to suppress the rebellion, and the pressure Zhao Yun faced dropped sharply in an instant. Coupled with the news that Lu Bu's army was suspected to be destroyed, the offensive of Cao, Liu Bei and others immediately slowed down a lot.
Even Liu Bei and Cao needed to stop and ponder over this rollercoaster situation.
To put it bluntly, Liu Bei and Cao are a little scared now!
When Cao, Liu Bei and others were muttering, Shang Ji also had some headaches. The reason for his headache was exactly the same as that of Liu Bei, but Shang Ji was worried that he would use too much force on his side and frighten the princes.
The reason why Shang Ji did not announce the news of the siege of the Lu Bu Corps was that Cao and Liu Bei were too frightened to withdraw their troops after receiving the news.
For this battle of discussion, the strategic goal of Shangji is simple and great - to unify the entire North!
Fortunately, Liu Bei said that the territory is in Xuzhou, as long as Shang Ji spares his hand and relies on a powerful navy, he can take Liu Bei's knife at any time. But Cao is different. Cao's core is in Luoyang, and Luoyang has Xiongguan in the way. He finally took advantage of this opportunity to draw Cao's main force out. If he is allowed to run away, it will be difficult in the future.
Surrendering Zhang Yan was originally one of Shang Ji's planned plans, but what Shang Ji didn't expect was that Zhang Yan was too knowledgeable about current affairs, and quickly took effect before Shang Ji could make a move. Disrupted Shang Ji's strategic deployment.
Just when Shang Ji was thinking hard, studying how to continue the wave for Cao and the others, so that they felt that they could save another one, the accident happened again!
Perhaps stimulated by Zhang Yan, Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie, who had been sitting on the fence, suddenly expressed his opinion,
He issued a number of appeals such as peace is the most precious, and wars are turned into treasures. At the same time, he dug up Shang Ji's achievements over the years for publicity, and emphasized that such a great and loyal minister with outstanding merits, how could he have the heart to seek the throne? The princes must have misunderstood!
Although everyone knows that this is a release, the meaning it represents cannot be ignored.
Before Zhang Yan, the Allied Forces for Discussing Shang was very powerful. Except for Cao and other princes who sent heavy troops to attack, others like Liu Biao were also waving their flags and shouting, as if Shang Ji was really a monster that everyone shouted to fight. Now Shi Xie suddenly stated his position, seemingly neutral, but in fact he was already leaning towards Shang Ji.
Jiaozhou was remote and desolate, and Shi Xie, the Jiaozhou herdsman, was a victim, unable to affect the battle situation in the Central Plains, but his statement further shook Cao and others' determination to resist.
Shi Xie was complacent and thought he had sold Shang Ji a good deal, but he didn't know that Shang Ji wanted to beat him up right now!
"Everyone, do you have any good ways to give Cao and the others the confidence to continue fighting?"
Hearing Shang Ji's question, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
If it is said to boost the confidence of their own army, they have a hundred ways, but now there is really no good way to cheer up the enemy army.
"How about we spread rumors that the expeditionary force led by General Liu was frustrated?"
As soon as this suggestion was put forward, someone immediately retorted: "Cao Liu and the others are not blind. General Liu is in full swing in the country of Japan. Someone must believe that the attack has been frustrated!"
Everyone discussed for a while, but did not come up with a feasible message.
Suddenly, Jushou said: "My lord, since this road is blocked, we might as well go the other way and spread rumors, saying that Diao Chan was taken by the lord's power and wants to serve the lord. And according to the lord's order, we will soon send out surprise troops to conquer Luoyang, Cut off Cao's back.
As a result, Cao thief must have panicked and returned to the teacher in a hurry. We adopted the strategy of "let Cao attack Liu" and let Cao Jun leave on his own.
At the same time, they selected elite soldiers, boarded naval warships, and landed from Donghai County, Xuzhou before Liu Bei withdrew, cutting off Liu Bei's army's back route, and then ordered the Qingzhou Army to counterattack aggressively, attacking from north to south to eliminate Liu Bei's group. "
Shang Jizou frowned and looked at the map for a while, then said: "This is the only way to go now, the general ordered to announce it to the public immediately, saying that all members of the Lu Bu Corps have been captured and are currently on their way to Xiangping. , ordered Gao Shun to immediately release and detain our personnel, and lead the crowd to surrender.
order to spread rumors that Diao Chan had surrendered to our army.
Order the main force of Gaoliu City to go south immediately, order Zhang Yan's Heishan Army to attack to the east, and cooperate with our main force to annihilate Yuan Shao's main force as soon as possible.
Order, the Second Army Corps of the Guards is ready to go out; the Qingzhou Corps is ready to counterattack. Once the enemy shows signs of retreating, the Qingzhou Corps will give priority to holding Liu Beijun. "
