Although he knew what happened to the Eastern Route Army, Liu Bei was still puzzled as to how Ju Shou did it.
"My lord, I am not a god. I cannot predict the future. However, I can only lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, ambush them in advance, and attack them separately."
Although he didn't know how Jushou did it, Cheng Yu gave his own opinion.
"Please explain in detail."
Liu Bei is now like a curious baby, and Zhang Fei is the same, staring with big copper bell-like eyes, waiting for Cheng Yu's explanation.
"If you want to completely annihilate the Black Mountain Army advancing eastward, you cannot care about the gains and losses of one city or one place. If it were me, I would abandon the key point of Jingxing and let the enemy in.
Then, using Zhending as bait, he mobilized the Polu army and the Xiliang army to ambush outside the city.
As long as the Montenegrin army dares to attack the city, the two troops and horses ambushed outside the city will take the opportunity to attack and attack their backs. If the troops and horses in the city attack at the right time, Montenegro will be defeated."
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's eyes lit up. This was a real trick to lure the enemy deeper.
"What about the Huns and Wuhuan people?"
This time Liu Bei didn't need to speak, Zhang Fei asked on his own.
"The Huns and Wuhuan people are not from the same place, and naturally they cannot meet on the same day. If we can detect the traces of the two groups of prairie people, we can calculate the necessary footholds based on their footsteps, and then use Gao Lan's prairie cavalry to go one by one.
It is not difficult to attack or cooperate with the army to crush it."
Cheng Yu's eyes flashed with wisdom as he spoke, and everything was in his heart. He believed that he could only do better than Jushu in his place.
"Liu Bei admires his virtue and his resourcefulness."
Cheng Yu was able to think of strategies to defeat the enemy just by relying on his own few words, which shows that his intelligence is so high that no one can stop him.
"My lord, this battle is over. Yuan Shu has no more constraints. Next, he will either go east to Qingzhou or go west out of Bingzhou. You should rush back to Yangping immediately to plan for Yanzhou."
Now that Zhang Yan has been destroyed and the biggest cancer in Yuan Shu's territory has been eradicated, Yuan Shu will definitely attack aggressively after a short rest, and when he attacks, it will be Liu Bei's opportunity.
"Okay, I'll go find Yuan Shu to say goodbye."
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he left the military camp and rushed towards Yuan Shu.
"My lord, Liu Bei has come to say goodbye."
While Yuan Shu was quiet, Tian Feng's voice sounded outside the door.
"Okay, let him come in."
Yuan Shu put away his previous compassion and put on the majestic image of a state pastor again.
"Liu Bei pays homage to Yuan Zhoumu."
Liu Bei came in and bowed his hands to Liu Bei.
"Mr. Xuande, the war has just concluded, why don't you stay for two more days?"
Seeing Liu Bei being so polite, Yuan Shu greeted him with a smile.
"Sir, the war between Zhang and Yan in Heishan is over. Dongjun has just been seized by Cao Cao, but the Yellow Turbans still exist. However, when I send troops to Pingyang this time, there are almost no troops to defend it. If I don't go back, I'm afraid that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans will enter Yangping from Dongjun. As a
Naturally, I, the governor, cannot let this happen."
Liu Bei's words were taught by Cheng Yu. Now that the battle in Montenegro is over, he, the governor of Pingyang, should go back to guard the border. At the same time, he also pointed out the old silver coin of Cao Cao.
Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard Liu Bei's words. Yes, how could he forget about Boss Cao?
"Since this is the case, I will not leave Xuande here. You can lead your troops and horses back to Pingyang quickly."
"Then Liu Bei will take his leave."
Liu Bei clasped his fists and said goodbye to Yuan Shu, then ordered his troops and horses to gallop towards Pingyang County.
After a few days of brief rest at Zhang Yan Dazhai, Yuan Shu ordered the burning of many military villages along the way and returned to Changshan County with countless trophies.
Although Zhang Yan was captured without hesitation, the scouts under his command did not know and still rushed to different places with their original mission.
Northland Right Beiping
"Ah Yue, Yuan Shu and Zhang Yan were fighting fiercely."
Gongsun Zan casually handed Zhang Yan's letter asking for help to Gongsun Yue.
"Brother, as Zhang Yan said, it is an opportunity for us."
Gongsun Yue quickly read Zhang Yan's letter, and then a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Opportunity? Do you mean to go south again? Yuan Shu transferred Ju Yi and his 10,000 Xiandeng troops to Hejian County. It's not easy to fight."
Gongsun Zan frowned. He knew that Ju Yi was good at training troops and had his own unique way of dealing with cavalry.
"Brother, I'm not talking about going south, but going west."
Gongsun Yue smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Go west?"
After hearing what Gongsun Yue said, Gongsun Zan was stunned.
"That's right, we are marching west to Yuyang. We didn't fight before because we were afraid that Yuan Shu would sneak attack us. Now all his troops are with Zhang Yan.
"
The more Gongsun talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the stronger the light in his eyes became.
"Okay, the whole army is dispatched, and the advance will never end."
"promise."
Chang'an
"Prime Minister, Zhang Yan and Yuan Shu are fighting."
Li Ru took three steps in two steps and trotted all the way to Dong Zhuo's side.
"Didn't we start fighting already?"
Although Dong Zhuo also had spies in the Central Plains, he also knew that Yuan Shu was attacking Montenegro.
"It's different. Zhang Yan couldn't resist anymore and asked the court for help."
Li Ru handed the letter to Dong Zhuo.
"Isn't it the Montenegrin Army? What happened to him asking for help? You are so excited."
After reading the letter from beginning to end, Dong Zhuo felt nothing at all.
"Prime Minister, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to restore the glory of the imperial court. As long as we can successfully mediate between the two parties, then the world will pay attention to Chang'an again. The imperial court is still there, and the great Han Dynasty is still there."
Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo was also excited. Only by regaining the glory of the great man, he, the prime minister, would be a real prime minister, unlike now, who lives in a corner and is a tortoise.
"Then you immediately draft a decree for the emperor, select a person to be the mediator, and go to Changshan."
"promise."
Qingzhou Qiguo
A messenger rushed into the Yellow Turban Army's base camp, his body covered with the smell of dust.
"Commanders, please save the life of our great king Zhang Yan."
The messenger knelt down in front of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban commanders.
"?"
Seeing this yellow scarf, the four generals in the room all looked confused.
"What's wrong with Zhang Yan?"
A strong man eight feet five stood up suddenly and looked at the messenger with wide eyes.
"Commander Guan Haiqu, our king was ambushed by Yuan Shu and is now surrounded by Dazhai. I hope you will send troops to attack Jizhou and rush to my aid."
Now Qingzhou Yellow Turban is different from the Black Mountain Army. Black Mountain is dominated by Zhang Yan's family, while Qingzhou Yellow Turban is divided into pieces. Now sitting in this room are four of the five leaders.
"Zhang Yan has hundreds of thousands of troops. Yuan Shu only has tens of thousands of troops. He can be defeated. He has enough."
A thin-looking middle-aged man looked at the messenger and spoke to him. This man's name was Xu He. Like Guan Hai, he was also a Yellow Turban Qushuai, also known as a marshal.
"Xu He, this is no time for joking. Zhang Yan is surrounded and may be destroyed at any time. The so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If he is destroyed, who can guarantee that Yuan Shu's next target will not be us?"
