"What?" Ju was surprised: "so Liu Ye didn't attack xingkou at all?"
Juxun and Yan Liang fought in Shangdang County, so the news war
after asking Yan Liang's whereabouts, the Wen Chou rushed into the camp, and juxun had no chance to speak.
At the same time, Qu Yi came slowly with his troops and horses, and Ju gave him a hasty welcome: "general Qu, how did you withdraw from xingkou?"
Ju was very puzzled. The garrison at xingkou was a very important part of his plan. He could stop Liu Ye's army from going northward. However, how could Qu Yi and Wen Chou suddenly lead his troops northward?
"Mr. Gonghe, it seems you don't know." Qu Yi laughed: "Liu Yuqing didn't send troops to attack xingxingkou. Instead, he fought Zhang Yan and defeated 100000 Black Mountain bandits. Then he went east slowly. After learning that Liu Ye had given up xingkou, Qu Yi and Wen Chou knew that the 10000 troops stationed in xingxingkou were no longer useful. After their discussion, they simply took 10000 troops to the north.
However, it was unexpected that Qu Yi and Wen Chou came at the right time. Lu Bu was about to defeat 20000 Jizhou army with 3000 iron cavalry. However, as the manpower and horsepower of Bingzhou iron cavalry were almost to the limit, they killed Qu Yi and Wen Chou on the way to save Yan Liang Juxue.
But Ju's face became dignified and said, "no, it seems that the situation our army is facing will be very severe."
Seeing Ju's worries, Qu Yi comforted him and said, "don't worry, Mr. Gonghe, as long as the Huguan pass is still in our army's hands, we can't open the pass by one man, and the strategy of merging States will not be a problem."
He shook his head and sighed: "even if Huguan is still in our army's hands, what should Liu Ye do if he attacks Jizhou?"
In a daze, Qu Yi suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. Liu Ye's purpose is to attack Bingzhou and rescue Lv Bu. If he can't attack Bingzhou, he can attack Jizhou to the East and rescue Bingzhou by encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao.
"No way!" Ju said: "write to the Lord and ask him to lead his troops to Jizhou."
...
Liyang, 60 Li to the south of Yecheng.
Liyang City belongs to Wei County, is located in the forefront of Ye City, and is the barrier of Ye City, the capital of Jizhou. However, under the fierce attack of more than 40000 Liangzhou army, this strong city was attacked in less than three days. The walls of Liyang City were covered with blood stained dark red, which is the proof that the city just experienced the fire.
The Yellow Qilin banner of the Han army was flying high above Liyang City. A group of high spirited Liangzhou soldiers stationed in front of Liyang City Gate, and Liangzhou army officers and soldiers came in and out from time to time.
"Urgent military information!"
Outside Liyang City, a Liangzhou military sentry with a small flag on his back came flying with a lacquered letter in his hand. The guard's soldiers naturally released him and rushed to the front of the Liyang City's garrison, but it has become a temporary general's residence.
No one dares to stop him when he sees the letter. The sentry rushes into the conference hall and kneels on one knee and says, "report to the general, General Ma Chao."
"Wenhe." Liu Ye glances at Jia Xu. Jia Xu takes the letter and unfolds it gently, frowning.
"Wenhe, what's the matter?" Liu Ye asked.
Jia Xu put up his letter: "general, general Meng Qi's surprise attack on Huguan was frustrated. The enemy general saw through general Meng Qi's scheme of deceiving the city. He fired his arrows at random, and he could not open his door."
Ma Chao was ordered by Liu Ye to lead 5000 iron horses westward to attack Huguan and open the door of Bingzhou. Ma Chao led five thousand Liangzhou iron cavalry to attack 600 Li in two days. He boldly formulated a scheme to cheat the city, but he failed.
"It's kind of interesting." Liu Ye asked with a smile, "who will be the enemy of defending the city? It's a bit of a strategy. "
"I don't know." Jia Xu replied: "I only know that there is a banner of holding characters at the head of Huguan."
"Leading the banner?" Liu Ye is thoughtful.
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "general, since general Meng Qi's surprise attack strategy has failed, we can't attack the city with cavalry. Now we'd better call general Meng Qi back. Although we were unable to enter Bingzhou to support Wen Hou, our army had no choice but to attack Jizhou and encircle Wei and save Zhao. "
"The general can lead a large army to attack Yecheng directly with great fanfare." Guo Jia said: "Yecheng is the governing Office of Jizhou. Yuan Shao and his family are in Yecheng. If our army forces Yecheng directly and order the army to spread news to Bingzhou in detail, the Jizhou army may come back."
Jia Xu shook his head: "although Yuan Shao sent a large army to attack Bingzhou, it would be no surprise to raise another 560000 troops with the capital of Jizhou. I'm afraid Yuan Shao may not recall the Jizhou army in Bingzhou."
Guo Jia laughed with a playful look on her face: "it depends on the pressure our army has put on this yuan Jizhou. How big is it?" According to Guo Jiayan, as long as the Liangzhou army marched into Yecheng and put great pressure on Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao would naturally recall the Jizhou army.
"Good." Liu Ye clapped his hands and said, "in this case, our army will march towards Yecheng!"
"No!"
In the middle of May, the Liangzhou army attacked a large area of Weijun and conquered liyangjian city. At the suggestion of Guo Jia, a member of the army, 40000 troops rushed to Yecheng.Ma Chao, who failed to succeed in attacking Huguan, also received orders to leave Huguan and move closer to Yecheng. According to Guo Jia's plan, Ma Chao made a great deal of momentum all the way, including refugees. Although the number was no more than 5000 iron cavalry, he pretended to be 30000, and formed an angle with Liu Ye's army. It was as if a pair of tongs was coming towards Ye City.
The heavy atmosphere gradually spread, and the cloud of war shrouded Yecheng for a moment.
"What? Liu Ye has captured Liyang and is ready to attack Yecheng? "
Looking at the war report in front of him, Yuan Shao couldn't believe it and said, "Zhengnan, is this true?"
With a dignified face, he stepped out of the line and arched his hand and said, "my Lord, there are our army's secret words in the military situation. If there is no accident, it should be true."
Yuan Shao said in a hurry: "but Ju Gong doesn't mean that as long as you can hold xingkou, Liangzhou army will not appear? How come Liu Ye's soldiers have already pointed to Yecheng? "
At first, Ju gave him a perfect analysis. When the army attacked Bingzhou and guarded xingkou to prevent the enemy from attacking, Jizhou army could easily take Bingzhou, but now Liyang has fallen into enemy hands, and even Yecheng has been heavily attacked!
Guo Tu suddenly sneered: "at the beginning, Guangwu Jun failed to stop Huaiyin Hou from unifying Hebei, and Ju Gong and nature couldn't stop Liu Ye's momentum."
Juxu didn't stay in Yuan Shao's account for a long time, just because he was a Hebei school. Yuan Shao relied on him, so he put it into important use. Guo Tu, the Nanyang school, was very dissatisfied for a long time. He just took this opportunity to fall into trouble.
