Chapter 540

The war in the south was raging, but Li Yunfei led an army of 100,000 all the way to the north, as if there was no one in the land. However, even though most of the cities he encountered were waiting for the wind and fleeing upon hearing the wind, Li Yunfei still moved forward slowly, only advancing thirty miles a day, and never took the risk of rushing in for any surprise attacks.

It is said that Thirty-Six went straight to the Yuan Mansion after taking Yecheng smoothly. Before Hu Yi went out to fight, he clamored to bring the legendary Zhen Mi back to his lord, and now he was lucky enough to take this Yecheng , it is very necessary to promise this brother Hu Yi endlessly. But Yidao did not see any Zhen Mi in the Yuan's residence, and even a member of the Yuan family had long since disappeared without a trace.

Only some frightened servants were left. After careful questioning, they found out that the people of the Yuan family had already moved to Bieyang after Huyi took Puyang. As for where they went, they didn't know. I can only give up.

He left behind a general and more than 5,000 troops to garrison, but he led more than 1,000 troops to catch up with Li Yunfei's camp to return to his command. The other troops sent out to capture the city were also quite smooth. After taking the city, some troops were left to defend the city, but the follow-up work was handed over to those professionals who came with the transportation team. Got it all within a month.

In fact, it has been well prepared for the recovery of the four northern states. It took more than half a year to train quite a few officials. The New Deal will also be promoted as these officials take over the city. It is easy to grab land, but it is not easy to manage, especially if you want to Well managed, it was quite difficult.

After Yizhou was successfully captured, Li Yunfei just rested for a few days, arranged some defenses, appointed some trustworthy officials and generals to defend the army, and then continued not to advance in the northeast direction. If you win a county, you will wipe out the bandits and bandits nearby, and you will move on after you are sure it is safe. The speed of the attack is very slow, but it is very safe to stay at every step.

Lao Jiu, who had been south for more than a month, finally returned from the south again, and brought back a lot of important news. Of course, the most important thing is that there are still many things that need to be decided by Li Yunfei himself.

"...You look so beaming, but Xuzhou has won a big victory?" Seeing the joy that Lao Jiu showed unconsciously after returning from a difficult situation, it can basically be judged that the overall situation of the war in the south has been decided.

"The main attack is wise, not only Xuzhou has won a big victory, but Jingzhou also has good news, which can be described as double happiness." Lao Jiu excitedly sent a piece of information, which was very detailed, including the Xuzhou battle and the Jingzhou battle The detailed process, as well as the detailed process of Jiaozhou Mulai to vote...

...

Lao Jiu brought not only various materials, but also several letters seeking peace, from Gongsun Kang, the third son of Yuan Shao and Ma Teng, but there was no letter of seeking peace from Cao Cao. He knew that seeking peace was useless.

Because when Lu Bu begged for mercy more than a year ago, he did not let him go, but directly ordered the execution, and he also just found out that Lu Bu's official wife, Yan Shi, also died in the chaos when the city was broken. Therefore, Miss Lu had a grudge against him for killing his mother, and she would never let him go.

The most interesting thing is the peace petition letter from Yuan Shao's three sons, saying that they were completely deceived by Cao Cao when they went south this time.

"...Old Jiu, find a way to reply to the three Yuan Shao brothers. As long as they can really chop off Cao Cao's head, I will let them go."

"My lord, do you really want to let those people go? Those guys are not good things. In the north, in order to grab territory, the people who attacked each other were struggling to survive. Millions of people died because of their attacks. As many as they have committed, one hundred deaths are enough." Lao Jiu, who came from the common people, has no good feelings for the so-called four generations and three fathers.

"...What a fool, when you delivered the letter, why did you deliver it so accurately?" I thought that Lao Jiu would take back his meaning, but I didn't expect this guy to have to express it himself, so he could only explain one sentence.

"My lord is wise!"

"What's wise, it's just a plot to kill people with a borrowed knife. In fact, Yuan Shao's three sons are not that bad. They are far worse than Cao Cao. We can't let Cao Cao escape this time."

"I can't run away, the surrounding area is so tight that even a bird can fly out...My lord, how do we deal with the peace letter between Ma Teng and Gongsun Kang?"

Those two guys also want to send a batch of property, money and food to Li Yunfei to let them go back to their territory, which is of course impossible.

"Now they are no longer qualified to negotiate terms, let them surrender unconditionally, I can spare their lives!"

"No! And Zhuge Liang made a promise to Zhang Jin, did the lord agree?"

"It's just a vain job, just give it to him. As for whether he can be released as an official, it depends on him passing the assessment."

"Understood, this subordinate will do it now."

The information was quickly written and sent out by Feige who had just brought over from various places. Lao Jiu also stayed in Yizhou to run his intelligence department and deal with some people with ulterior motives. Yu Wan's army continued to go north to Youzhou and headed straight for Cao Cao's base camp. In fact, Youzhou was not entirely controlled by Cao Cao, and part of it was in Yuan Xi's hands.

Originally, when Yuan Shao died, Yuan Xi was allotted the land of Youzhou. At first, Cao Cao borrowed a small place to raise troops. The main purpose was to let Cao Cao block his two brothers from attacking his territory. It’s just that after raising tigers for several months, more than half of the land was taken over by Cao Cao unknowingly...

...

The army continued to go all the way north, and almost all the cities they encountered were looking forward to the wind. It was not until Youbeiping City (now a city between Beijing and Tianjin) that they really met the people who stood firm in the city, but it was Cao Jun. They were There is no way to retreat, and if you retreat again, you can only run outside the pass. However, Li Yunfei was a little surprised by one of the generals defending the city. One of them turned out to be Zhang Liao, a former subordinate.

It really makes people feel that life is different. Zhang Liao has had a hard time since he voted for Cao Cao. Although he can still trust him, but Lu Bu is not dead. Cao Cao cannot fully trust him, so he has no ambitions in Cao Ying, and this time Over the years, although Cao Cao's strength has recovered, it cannot compare with Li Yunfei's rapid progress.

Gao Shun, who was not valued in the past, is now a former general, and the Liu Zhang-Zhang-Lu Allied Forces who led an army of 200,000 marched westward were defeated. But now Zhang Liao is still just a partial general defending the city, in fact, he is only serving as Xiahou Dun's deputy...

Seeing this situation, Li Yunfei thought about it again and again, and finally decided to use the alienation strategy. Although it would be a little guilty to do so, if Cao Jun was to stick to it, the 100,000 troops he brought would attack, even with the help of the bursting arrows. Going down to this city, but the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond. Under a large-scale siege, many innocent people will definitely die, so it is better to use tricks to cause chaos inside the defenders.

In the middle of the night, a batch of arrows and letters were shot directly on the tower, not to persuade them to surrender, but to chat with the old subordinates. By the way, the form of the attack today, of course, there is no lack of praise for Zhang Liao.

Of course, there are some letters sent to Yuan Xi's generals, because Yuan Xi's subordinates who did not want to surrender this time have already brought their remaining troops here to join Cao Jun to resist with the help of the strong city, so I also give them Send a batch of letters, the content is very cryptic, but some information revealed, you can probably guess that Yuan Xi is going to take refuge in himself, Cao Cao is about to die, etc... After finishing the work, go back to sleep .

The seeds have already been planted, and you only need to wait for a while, and you will have unexpected harvest. Anyway, a small port dozens of miles away has been firmly occupied, sea ships can land directly, and logistics resources are constantly being delivered. It doesn't matter if it takes a while, all you need to do is set up camp outside the city to prevent Cao's sneak attack.
