Wen Chou came back to his senses. Junyi opened his jaw to let the merit go to him.
"Uncle evil, don't be angry. Jun Yi doesn't understand our rules and won't apologize."
Looking at the angry Wen Chou, Yuan Shu couldn't help but smile.
"General Wen, you opened your jaw and realized you were wrong."
Opening his jaw, he quickly rushed to Wen Chou and cupped his fists in salute.
"Okay, let's do this for now, then it's time to plan the next move."
As soon as Tian Feng spoke, the originally playful lobby suddenly turned serious, even Yuan Shu was the same.
"My lord, it is better to march to Montenegro sooner rather than later. I suggest leaving five thousand militiamen to mop up the remaining enemies in Wei County. The remaining troops will quickly go south. Instruct Liu Bei to set off from Liyang and finally meet at Chaoge."
Tian Feng emphasized the importance of troops and speed, so he directly chose to march to Chaoge.
"Well, what Yuan Hao said is true. He passed on our military order and ordered Changle to send the militiamen of Neihuang County directly south to Chaoge.
Yuan Yu was ordered to go north with five thousand militiamen to recapture Yecheng and attack Qiu, Wei County and Yin'an.
Liu Bei was ordered to march from Liyang to Chaoge.
The remaining soldiers and horses will defeat Dang Yin first, and then go straight to Chao Ge."
"promise."
As soon as Yuan Shu's military order was issued, Anyang City instantly became lively.
In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Shu did not rest and led the entire army to head towards Dangyin. After taking it without any effort, the army headed straight for Chaoge.
The war in Wei County has basically ended, and soldiers and horses from all directions are marching towards Chaoge from north to south.
Liyang Liu Bei was closest to Chaoge and was the first to arrive. Moreover, Zhao Yun came from Zhongshan Kingdom in a light chariot from Jian. There was a shortage of food and baggage, but Liu Bei thoughtfully brought a large amount of food and baggage.
Anyang is not far from Chaoge, only about 200 miles in total. Yuan Shu's main force was all driven by horse-drawn carriages. They traveled more than sixty miles a day and arrived at Chaoge in three days.
"Lord."
"Ming Gong."
Zhao Yun and Liu Bei went out of the city to meet Yuan Shu.
"Don't look outside. We are all our own people. Come into the city quickly."
Seeing the two of them traveling ten miles out of the city to greet them, Yuan Shu also felt a twinge of pain. What he hated most was this kind of face-saving project, but it was indispensable in ancient times.
"As commanded."
"As commanded."
Although Yuan Shu's guards, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw's troops traveled in horse-drawn carriages, the militia under his command had to run on two legs.
After five days, the vigilante group finally arrived at Chaoge City.
"Yuan Hao, what should we do next?"
The soldiers and horses arrived, and Yuan Shu and Tian Feng began to discuss the next steps.
"Lord, Yu Du's military stronghold is here."
According to Yu Du's remnant soldiers, Tian Feng has already visited Yu Du's military camp and has a clear picture of it.
Yu Du's Yellow Turban Army was stationed in the Chaoge Xishan area, starting from Qingyan Mountain on the north bank of Cangshui River in the south to Qingyanjue on the south bank of Qishui River in the north, which was the scope of his continuous village, and his base camp was at Luchang Mountain.
There is Laohuling in Luchang Mountain. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Taking a fancy to this terrain, Yu Du led the skilled craftsmen to build a military stronghold on the top of the mountain. From then on, Laohuling was renamed Yu Duzhai.
"Military advisor, since we captured Yu Du alive, why not use Yu Du to recruit and surrender his stronghold."
When Yuan Shu heard that Yu Du's village was occupied by Monan, he couldn't help but think of Yu Du himself.
"My lord, I have long said that being too poisonous is not the key. Moreover, when he leads the troops this time, he must be convinced that all his elite and trusted followers will be sent out, and those who remain in the military camp will disappear."
Tian Feng shook his head slightly, signaling Yuan Shu not to think too much.
"Then he is useless?"
After hearing what Tian Feng said, Yuan Shu was very depressed. The big fish he had spent so much effort to catch was actually useless.
"That's not the case. As long as we wipe out his company and finally surround the main stronghold, and Yu Du comes on stage again, we might be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
"So I understand, you continue."
The key point that Tian Feng mentioned was the offensive and defensive battle at Duzhai.
"What we have to do is to divide our troops and go to various places to block the mountain passes. At the same time, we send troops from Cangyan Valley to Xidaling to cut off the enemy's retreat. Then we attack from all sides of the valleys to break through his company, and finally fight decisively at
In the Poison Village."
Tian Feng followed the strategy of encirclement and annihilation, gathering superior troops to attack from all sides, and finally captured Dujunzhai.
"I will do as you say and beat the drum to gather the generals."
"Dong dong dong."
After the three drums, all the civil and military personnel came to Yuan Shu's hall.
On the left are Wen Chou, Zhao Yun and Zhang Zha, and on the right are Liu, Guan and Zhang.
"Liu Bei."
"exist."
"I order you to lead Zhang Fei and Zheng Yu to attack the Yudu Army stronghold in Cangyan Valley with their troops and horses. After defeating it, they will detour to Xidaling and cut off the Yellow Turban Army's retreat."
"Liu Bei takes the order."
"Open your jaw."
"exist."
"I order you to lead your troops and horses to cooperate with the 5,000 militia group to surround the four valleys in the east. After defeating the strongholds in each valley, you can maneuver towards Luchang Mountain."
"promise."
"Wen Chou."
"exist."
"I order you to lead the mighty army to surround the four valleys in the west, defeat the strongholds in each valley, and then maneuver towards Luchang Mountain."
"promise."
"Dianwei."
"exist."
"I order you to lead the guards and the remaining militia to attack from Nangu Dazhai, defeat the stronghold and then maneuver towards Luchang Mountain."
"promise."
"Zilong, your eagle raises the army to the center and follow my maneuvers."
"promise."
As soon as Yuan Shu's military order came out, Chaoge City immediately became extremely lively, and rows of baggage followed the people and horses running into the distance.
"Brother, this Yuan Shu is too biased and doesn't even allow us to participate in the siege of the Poison Lord's Stronghold."
Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei towards Cangyan Valley, and couldn't help but complain on the way.
"Third General, sometimes a loss is not necessarily a loss."
After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Cheng Yu smiled slightly.
"Sir, what do you mean by this?"
After hearing Cheng Yu's words, not only Zhang Fei was stunned, but Liu Bei was also stunned.
"My lord, it is said that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. A drink and a peck have their own consequences.
Although we were sent to the north by Yuan Shu, we did not come here for the credit. Going north exposes the least strength and makes the least sacrifices, but it is just what we want."
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were both stunned. This seemingly insignificant job turned out to be a good thing under Cheng Yu's analysis.
"That's exactly what you said. Third brother, speed up towards Cangyan Valley. You must win it as quickly as possible."
"promise."
"promise."
Liu Bei's entire army accelerated towards Cangyan Valley. At the same time, Zhang Jaw led 10,000 Jianzhong troops and 5,000 militia troops to the east and four valleys, Wen Chou led the Huwei army to the west and four valleys, and Yuan Shu led Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to attack the south valley.
.
Yu Du's military stronghold stretches for nearly twenty miles and has many exits. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is full of cunning rabbits. However, it was suddenly overwhelmed by Yuan Shu's powerful encirclement of 780,000 to 80,000 troops.
The eight east and west valleys, including the Cangyan Valley where Liu Bei attacked by surprise, were all defeated in one battle. Only the Nan Valley where Yuan Shu stormed met with unusually strong resistance.
