"What's the clever idea for Feng Xiao?" Yuan Fang's eyes showed excitement.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My strategy is divided into two parts. As long as it is implemented well, it is expected that Yuan Shao's backyard will be on fire."
At that moment, Guo Jia took his time and revealed his strategy.
The first strategy is to send people to Luoyang to ask the emperor to appoint Zhang Yan as the governor of Bingzhou and order him to lead the Black Mountain Army out of Taihang to attack Yuan Shao's grain road.
Although the Black Mountain Army was repeatedly defeated by Yuan Shao, its main cavalry force still existed. If Zhang Yan used all his cavalry to harass Yuan Shao's grain roads, and Yuan Shao's cavalry was all concentrated in the Central Plains, he would be unable to protect the grain roads.
Guo Jia's second strategy was to send a spy to Yecheng to spread the truth about the internal fighting between Yuan Shao's army, Ruying's faction and Hebei's faction, and to spread the word that Yuan Shao's general Ju Shou was imprisoned because he was preparing to abandon the Hebei scholars and seize the opportunity. After the Central Plains, the people of Ru Ying were fully reused.
In Yuan Shao's army, it is a well-known fact that Xu You, Feng Ji, Ju Sue and others are fighting openly and covertly. In the past, Yuan Shao would turn a blind eye.
Now, Yuan Tan first did not save Wen Chou, causing Wen Chou to surrender to Yuan Fang.
Then, Xu You took the opportunity to slander Jushou and was imprisoned by Yuan Shao. All these factors made Ru Ying's faction headed by Yuan Tan gain the upper hand in this struggle.
If Yuan Fang spreads the news at this time, the Hebei faction headed by Yuan Shang will be deeply frightened and afraid of losing power.
When Yuan Shao's army went south, those who stayed behind in Yecheng were Yuan Shang, Shen Pei and other Hebei scholars. If these people were unsettled, they would cause trouble in Yuan Shao's lair out of fear. The impact was definitely more serious than a fiasco involving Yuan Shao.
"If Yuan Shao interferes with our food routes, we will use redoubled measures to fight back against him. When there is chaos in his rear, I wonder how he can still maintain a stalemate with us." Guo Jia said wildly.
After Tian Feng heard this, he nodded again and again: "Feng Xiao's plan is indeed a brilliant plan. Yuan Shao has many internal conflicts and internal instability. This is his biggest fatal wound. We will attack him severely on this wound. Let¡¯s see how he responds.¡±
??Two great counselors. They all reached a consensus, and Yuan Fang had no doubts.
"Okay!" Yuan Fang slapped the case and said happily: "Just as a filial piety plan, I will be in Yuan Shao's backyard. I will light a fire fiercely. I will see how arrogant he continues."
The moment. Yuan Fang urgently summoned Sun Qian and ordered him to quickly go to Luoyang to ask for the emperor's order, and then go to Hebei. Secretly met Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, and implemented a plan to cut off Yuan Shao's food supply.
At the same time, Yuan Fang ordered his agents to build a network and let them spread rumors widely in Hebei, especially in Yecheng, to instigate Yuan Shang and Shen Pei who stayed in Yecheng.
As soon as various orders were issued, the scouts hurried in and presented another piece of intelligence from Hebei to Yuan Shen's head.
As soon as Yuan Fang scanned the information, his Yingwu face became even more excited. He couldn't help but slap the table and laughed and said: "Okay, God is really helping me. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, you have a leak in the house and it is raining continuously. This time, let me see what you do." response."
The counselors and generals were all refreshed and curious about the information that made Yuan Fang so excited.
Yuan Fang then laughed and showed the latest information to everyone.
It turned out that the intelligence claimed that Gongsun Zan's old general Zhao Yun had recently summoned Gongsun Zan's old troops and raised troops in the Zhongshan area. They robbed hundreds of thousands of dendrobium grain and grass that Yuan Shao had recruited south from Youzhou, as well as more than a thousand war horses, causing Yuan Shao's logistics to suffer. A serious blow.
"This Zhao Zilong, after Gongsun Zan's fall, there has been no news from him. I was still worried about his safety. I didn't expect that he was dormant in the wild and suddenly appeared to help me at this time. It's really God helping me."
Yuan Fang couldn't hold back his joy, and his mood was a little excited.
"What kind of person is Zhao Yun? He is a great general in the world who has superb martial arts, intelligence and intelligence, and is close to being flawless.
As early as that year during the Battle of Pingyuan, Yuan Fang had an encounter with Zhao Yun, and he admired him very much, and had often wanted to recruit him under his command.
It¡¯s just that Zhao Yun is loyal and courageous. Even though Gongsun Zan is mediocre and not a wise master, Zhao Yun can¡¯t bear to abandon him. He follows Gongsun Zan until Yi Jing falls and his entire army is wiped out.
After that, Yuan Fang was worried about Zhao Yun's life and death, and ordered Xizuo to go to Youzhou to inquire about Zhao Yun's whereabouts.
A closer look at the information sent back revealed that when Yi Jing fell, Zhao Yun did not die in battle, but disappeared, probably escaping back to his hometown in Changshan.
Changshan is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and Zhao Yun is nowhere to be found. Even if Yuan Fang wanted to recruit him, he could not find Zhao Yun, so he could only put this thought in the back of his mind for the time being.
But he didn¡¯t expect that at the critical moment of his confrontation with Yuan Shao, Zhao Yun would unexpectedly appear and indirectly help Yuan Shao.?A huge help.
How could Yuan Fang not be happy and excited at this time.
"Gongsun Zan's old troops are back again, if Zhang Yan is willing to send troops, and Yuan Shang Shenpei is causing trouble in Yecheng, Yuan Shao's old nest will be in trouble now, hehe~~"
When Guo Jia saw this information, he couldn't help but feel happy. He couldn't help but lift the gourd of wine and drank it all in one breath.
Snapped!
Yuan Fang slapped the table fiercely and sneered: "Very good, now that everything is ready, just wait for Yuan Shao's ass to bloom, and then it will be time for our old and new hatreds to be settled together with that old thief!"
Yuan Fang is bold and confident. He has never been so confident as he is today.
The civil and military generals present were also infected by Yuan Fang, and their confidence increased sharply and their blood boiled.
They knew very well that although Yuan Shao still had many soldiers and horses, after experiencing a series of defeats, the morale of the army had fallen to the bottom.
Now, all it takes is the last straw to break the enemy's will and crush the behemoth Yuan Shao.
And this straw is behind enemy lines far away from the battlefield.
All is ready except for the opportunity!
¡¡
A few days later, good news came from Luoyang.
Yuan Shao's strategy of respecting the king and repelling the barbarians showed its advantages at this time. The emperor was grateful for Yuan Fang's respect for him, so he naturally approved his request without hesitation.
The day after Sun Qian arrived in Luoyang, the emperor issued an order to make Zhang Yan the governor of Bingzhou and the Marquis of Hucheng, and ordered him to lead his troops to raid Yuan Shao's grain road.
Sun Qian immediately adhered to the emperor's order, crossed the Northern Army's defense line as an angel, and went to Taihang to issue an order to Zhang Yan.
Guo Jia's strategy is proceeding in an orderly manner. To the east, Zhuge Liang and Yan Liang have also led an army of more than 10,000 people and rushed to the front line of Beihai Kingdom at starry night.
Gongsun Du is nothing to worry about, but the Liaodong Army with Lu Bu is extremely powerful in combat.
If Yuan Fang wants to defeat Yuan Shao, he must also contain the Liaodong Army's offensive in Qingzhou. Otherwise, once it breaks through the Beihai Kingdom and enters the plains, it may cooperate with Yuan Shao to form a north-south pincer attack on the plains.
If the plain is lost, Yuan Shao's minions will extend into Qingxu, and Yuan Fang's flanks will collapse. This is something he absolutely does not want to see.
After Zhuge Liang led his army to the Beihai Kingdom, he joined Zang Ba's defeated army and gathered more than 15,000 troops.
He and Yan Liang followed Yuan Fang's instructions and decisively changed their tactics to avoid field battles with the Liaodong cavalry. Instead, they deployed their troops and horses in several strategic cities such as Duchang and Zhuxu to hold on to the passes without fighting.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang also ordered that all the people in the countryside be moved into the city, and all the food, grass, cattle and sheep were also moved into the city. Those who could not enter the city were simply burned down.
Zhuge Liang wanted to use the policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, so that the Liaodong Army would not be able to plunder a grain of food.
The Liaodong Army came from the sea, and the transportation of grain and grass was not easy. It must be adhering to the strategy of supporting war with war and searching for grain and grass on the spot.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mb out out out of the enemy's army to grab food, increase their logistical burden. Perhaps, before Yuan Fang's army arrives, the Liaodong Army may withdraw from Qingzhou early due to lack of food.
Facts have proved that Zhuge's tactics are effective.
In the next half month, 10,000 Liaodong cavalry traveled across the Beihai Kingdom, but failed to break through a single city, plundered the countryside, and could not find a single grain of food.
The search for food and grass was restricted, and the Liaodong Army's originally unstoppable offensive finally began to be curbed.
Duchangchengdong
Five thousand Liaodong cavalry were arrayed outside the city, showing off their force in a mighty manner. Hundreds of loud soldiers yelled at the defenders in the city at the top of their lungs, trying to lure Zhuge Liang into battle.
Zhuge Liang was unmoved. He even had an idea and asked his subordinates to carry his guqin to the top of the city and burn incense and play the qin in front of the enemy.
"I have been practicing martial arts with my master for these years, and I haven't played the piano for a long time. I have almost forgotten this elegant thing. But anyway, it is the enemy outside Qi City, and this level is enough"
Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, then he closed his eyes slightly and shook his head, immersed in the music.
The enemy troops outside the city shouted at the top of their lungs, but what they heard in return was the sound of musical instruments. The soldiers' mouths were dry and their tongues were dry, and it didn't take long for them to wilt.
Under the banner of the Chinese Army, the general standing majestically, holding a painted halberd in his hand, has a deep frown and a trace of hatred on his scarred face.
"Bu Lu, it seems that the Zhuge boy guarding the city is quite calm despite his young age. With things like this today, I'm afraid we won't be able to induce him to fight, so we might as well withdraw our troops and return to the camp first."?. "Next to me, the man who looked like a scribe said.
Bu Lu suddenly turned around, glared at him with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yi, although you rescued me back to Liaodong back then, I am no longer that unknown soldier. I am the commander-in-chief of this army. You But pay attention to your title.¡±
Liu Yi's body trembled, and a chill ran down his back. He hurriedly said: "Yi was negligent. Please forgive me, General Bu."
Only then was Bu Lu satisfied. He turned his razor-sharp gaze towards Duchang City. In his silence, he had an aura of calmness and authority.
Liu Yi coughed a few times and said cautiously: "General Bu, we came from the sea. Even if we can capture a few counties, we won't be able to hold them in the end. Since we can't fight for a long time, how can we just accept it when we see it and take the captives with us?" Dingkou and his wealth are returned to Liaodong, why bother with Yuan Fang?"
Bu Lu was silent, with a complex expression flashing in his eyes, as if he had recalled something, and his scarred face became more ferocious.
After being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Because that person took away everything that originally belonged to me, I must destroy him with my own hands!" (To be continued)
