"Congratulations to General for this wonderful achievement!" Li Zheng and Ren Yuan stood in the palace of the city lord of Hefei City, and they all said to Li Yan.
"Uh~" Li Yan was still a little confused until now. He looked at Li Zheng and Ren Yuan, sorted out his thoughts, shook his head and said: "Don't be too busy congratulating me. This matter is weird in every aspect. Qingtian captured this city.
, with the fortified city, even if there is a huge disparity in military strength, we should not give up, unless..."
An astonishing thought occurred to Li Yan and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
"Unless what?" Li Zheng and Ren Yuan looked at Li Yan in confusion. He captured a city with 50,000 garrison with two thousand people. With this ability, they should not be afraid of them. But in fact, the other party
But he walked very neatly, so crisply that it made people stare.
"Unless he had no intention of wanting this city in the first place!" Taking a deep breath, Li Yan spoke out his inference. However, although it was just an inference, Li Yan had absolute confidence in his inference. This was by no means based on thin air.
guess.
"You didn't plan to take this city? You planted the flags of our army all over the city, as if it was given to us. Is he crazy?" Li Yan's simple mind could not understand this approach at all, and he fought hard.
If you give the city you came down to the enemy, what's the difference between it and the enemy?
Li Yan shook his head and did not explain, but calculated in his heart. He was very clear about the temptation of Hefei to Liu Biao. If he captured Hefei, even if Liu Biao had no love for fighting for hegemony in the world, once he controlled Hefei, it would be equivalent to
There is an additional portal to the east, and the location has been changed. If he were sitting in Liu Biao's position, he would never let Hefei return to Yuan Shu's hands again. Even if he knew it was a trap, Liu Biao would not hesitate to step in.
This Qingtian, with such great courage and powerful methods, has brought the relationship between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu to a freezing point with just one city. Moreover, as Yuan is left to fight, the Sun family as an ally is likely to be dragged in. When the time comes,
, the melee in Jiangbei, Qingtian City reaps the benefits.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yan had to admire Qin Tian's calculation, killing two birds with one stone. If he hadn't learned some of Sun's plans from Yu Fan, Li Yan would have been a little worried, but now, he has secretly surrendered to Sun's family.
However, he was secretly thinking about how he could benefit the Sun family and at the same time increase his bargaining chips to enter the Sun family in the future.
Yuan and Liu were fighting, and Qingtian City had an opportunity to take advantage of it, but it might not be without benefit to the Sun family. It just depends on how to deal with it. That night, Li Yan wrote down the affairs of Hefei on bamboo slips and ordered his confidants to send them to Changsha to avoid the Sun family in the future.
When he and Liu Biao turned against each other, the Battle of Hefei affected the judgment of Sun's counselors. At the same time, he wrote a memorial, asking Li Yan to send people to Liu Biao, and at the same time build city defenses and prepare for war. No matter what, Yuan and Liu fought.
In addition to being of little benefit to Yuan Shu and Liu Biao as the parties involved, it is also beneficial to Qingtian City and the Sun family. After thinking about it, it is more beneficial to the Sun family who has already begun to prepare to embezzle Jingxiang. In this case, although seeing through
Qin Tian's intention was revealed, but Li Yan was not prepared to stop him, so he simply took advantage of the plan and completely determined Liu Biao's determination.
As for Qin Tian, Li Yan no longer has any thoughts. After all, Huainan is now Yuan Shu's territory, and Qin Tian has cavalry who come and go like the wind. Although he has an army of 50,000, he is not fighting at home. He has no idea whether he can encircle him or not.
Li Yan didn't have much confidence in killing the cunning and scheming Qin Tian.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Qin Tian gradually changed from a prey to a hunter during this period, and with three thousand newly recruited troops, he affected the entire Jiangbei situation in one fell swoop. Although Li Yan admired him in his heart, he was also a little scared.
.
It is really not a good thing to have such an enemy always thinking about you. It is better to leave this matter to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. If Qin Tian can get rid of them, Li Yan will also feel a little relaxed. After all, Sun Liu will be in the future.
If you turn against each other and throw yourself into the Sun family, you will inevitably meet again on the battlefield. Instead of being embarrassed then, it is better to end it now and be happy.
At the same time, Yuan Shu, who learned that Hefei had fallen, responded quickly after being furious. One hundred thousand troops set off in a mighty manner under the leadership of generals Qiao Mao and Chen Ran. At the same time, the counties along the way actively prepared for war.
Food and fodder needed by the army along the way.
At the same time, Liu Biao, who received the news, also reacted. General Liu Pan, General Jingxiang Wenpin and the cavalry quickly rushed to Hefei with the governor's secret order. At the same time, they recruited troops and horses from nearby counties in Lujiang and gathered in Hefei.
….
And Qin Tian finally got a relatively safe environment, not only because of the cooperation of Yuan and Liu. On the second day after leaving Hefei, Qin Tian met the second support army. The commander of this support army was none other than
It’s Qingtian City’s navy general—Gan Ning!
"My lord, I am late to save you. Please punish me!" The burly body knelt in front of Qin Tian without any hesitation. The usually unsmiling general was now bursting into tears with excitement.
"What kind of punishment? I'm doing well, isn't it?" Qin Tian waved his hand and stretched out his hand to help Gan Ning up. Seeing an arrogant man burst into tears in front of him, it really made him feel like he couldn't laugh or cry.
"My lord, please come back to the city. It's really hard for my mistress to support the situation in Jiangdong on her own now!" Gan Ning said to Qin Tiandao, with admiration on his face when he said Luo Yun. Obviously Luo Yun can survive Qin Tian's absence.
Carrying the huge Jiangdong on one shoulder, he prevented Jiangdong from falling into chaos due to Qin Tian's departure, allowing the enemy to take advantage of it, and won the heartfelt love and admiration of these generals who were loyal to Qin Tian.
"We must go back, but there are still some unresolved matters, and we need to stay here for a few days. You first take people to send these things back to Jiangdong, and at the same time give this manuscript to Li Ru!" Qin Tian shook his head.
Shaking his head, he had been hunted for more than a month, and he would not give up so easily until Jiangbei was turned upside down.
"This..." Gan Ning was a little hesitant. After all, his mission was to escort Qin Tian back safely. This was a mission he had gained without shame. When Qin Tian lured away the pursuers on his own, he was moved at the same time.
, and also felt extremely guilty.
"My lord has an order, and I shouldn't refuse. However, before I came out, I promised that I would not escort my lord back safely. I raised my head to see you and asked my lord to allow me to stay." Gan Ning
He nodded and then said firmly.
"That's fine." Qin Tian nodded, thinking that among the opponent's troops there were top generals like Huang Zhong and a first-class general like Gan Ning, so he would be more confident in dealing with them.
"Ding Feng!" Seeing Qin Tian nodding, Gan Ning was overjoyed and quickly turned around and shouted loudly.
"The last general is here!" In the crowd, a sturdy young man stepped out from the crowd, came to Qin Tian, and saluted: "The last general Ding Feng, see my lord!"
"Your name is Ding Feng?" Qin Tian lowered his head and looked at this pillar of the Wu Kingdom in the later period of history. At this time, Ding Feng's face was still a little immature, but he already had the demeanor of a general in his movements.
"Yes." Ding Feng nodded and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Lord, despite his young age, this boy is a good young man and is brave in battle. Chaisang didn't fall last time because of this boy." Gan Ning patted Ding Feng on the shoulder and said to Qin Tianda.
"Oh?" Qin Tian nodded, looked at Ding Feng and said, "Not many people can be praised like this by Xingba. Did you hear what I just said to Xingba?"
"General, I heard it." Ding Feng nodded.
"Take these things back, give this to your mistress, tell her that you are safe, and then stay in Qingtian City and make arrangements after I return." Qin Tian said with a smile.
"Yes, General, take your orders!" Even though he was calm, there was a little excitement in young Ding Feng's voice at this time.
Yu Du and the other four looked at Ding Feng's departure with some jealousy. Although they didn't know the meaning of Qin Tian's words, they knew from the envy of other nearby generals and the pleased eyes of Gan Ning that there must be benefits, but they didn't dare
To say the least, one Zou Yulan is enough trouble, and now there is Gan Ning. The coercion of a top military commander exuded from Gan Ning makes these gangsters behave like good children.
"Lord, what should we do next?" Gan Ning's eyes flashed with eagerness to try. Every general has a warlike element in his heart. Before, he was just concerned about Qin Tian's safety and forcibly suppressed it. Now Qin Tian
Having made a decision, this historical Soochow general is eager to try and wash away his shame.
"Yulan, Luanfeng Camp has been dispatched to the Hefei area, but if there is any trouble, we need to know immediately. The movements of Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Li Yan are the main targets of the investigation." Qin Tian said slowly after thinking for a moment.
In a foreign place, intelligence is very important to this lone army. Qin Tianxing has been fighting for many years, so he naturally knows what they need most at the moment.
"Here!" Zou Yulan responded softly. In this regard, Luanfengying had an unrivaled advantage even in the entire world of Samsara Three Kingdoms.
"Xing Ba, send a force to garrison the port. We must not cut off our army's return path!" Qin Tiandao looked at Gan Ning again.
"I've already given the order." Gan Ning smiled.
"Okay, now we can give it a try." He looked at Gan Ning with satisfaction. This famous Jiangdong general had experienced the last defeat of Chaisang. Although he still could not change his warlike characteristics, he was obviously much calmer.
He is also more considerate when encountering problems, showing his general style.
"My lord, now that Yuan and Liu are fighting in a melee, we, the troops, I'm afraid..." Zou Yulan looked at Qin Tian hesitantly. Qin Tian provoked the two sides into a melee, which was obviously an attempt to fish in troubled waters, but even with the addition of Gan Ning's troops, they are now
The number of troops is less than 10,000, and the role this small force can play in a battle of 100,000 units is really limited.
"Don't worry about this. We are not going to collide head-on with the armies of both sides. With these troops, it is enough." Qin Tian chuckled, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.
