Another voice suddenly sounded, this person was the youngest among the four.
"Sima Ju, what do you mean? Could it be that if Zhang Yan is destroyed, Yuan Shu will attack us?"
Another burly man stood up and asked Sima Ju. This man's name was Guan Cheng, and he was also a commander.
"Commander Guan Cheng, I am not 100% sure, but if I were Yuan Shu and defeated the Black Mountain Army, my next target would definitely be Qingzhou."
Sima Ju shook his head, not so sure.
"That's okay. It's okay if we don't attack Jizhou. Yuan Shu may not come to attack. But if we send troops now, it will be like moths rushing into the flame and destroying ourselves."
Xu He also shook his head. From the bottom of his heart, he disagreed with provoking Yuan Shu, the fierce tiger hanging above his head.
"Xu He, you are really short-sighted. If Yuan Shu is a tiger, then the Black Mountain Army is a steel knife hanging above its head.
No matter what the tiger wants to do, be careful with the steel knife.
If the steel knife hanging above the head disappears, then the tiger will show its fangs, and the weakest sheep will bear the brunt. Unfortunately, Qingzhou is this sheep."
Hearing Xu He's words, Sima Ju couldn't help frowning and hurriedly retorted to him.
"We, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, have hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Who dares to say that we are sheep? I still say that the most important thing is not to provoke Yuan Shu."
Guan Cheng also shook his head, Yuan Shu was so powerful that no one wanted to face it.
"you."
Sima Ju's hands were trembling, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, stop arguing. Sima Ju, you can do whatever you want. I won't stop you, but I won't send troops. If you ask me to use my son to save an unrelated person, I'm dreaming."
Guan Hai slapped the chair away and strode towards the door.
"A vertical plan is not enough."
Xu He did the same. He stood up, cursed secretly, and then followed Guan Hai out.
"snort."
Guan Cheng, who was connected to Guan Hai, snorted coldly and followed him out.
The room that used to be occupied by four people instantly became occupied by Sima Ju. Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but shake his head and walked out.
The next day, 50,000 Yellow Turbans under Sima Ju set out directly from Qi State and headed for Jinan State, while Guan Hai and others hoarded their troops and horses in the counties in the southern part of Qi State, seemingly intending to infiltrate Yanzhou.
"My lord, Ji Ling has come to report that the whole territory of Qingzhou is in ruins, and the prefects and ministers of the counties and states are struggling to protect themselves, let alone the military purge.
Now the total number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou is about three to four hundred thousand. Their troops are divided into two groups, one group is sent to Jinan Kingdom, and the other group is in Qi Kingdom. Depending on the posture, they will either go north to Jizhou or attack Yanzhou westward."
Tian Feng and Jushu came to Yuan Shu together and reported to him the news they had just received.
"It came so quickly."
Hearing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown. His troops had just returned to rest after more than a month of war, when the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans moved.
"Yes, but there are only 50,000 or 60,000 Yellow Turbans in the Jinan Kingdom, and most of the remaining troops are stationed in the Qi Kingdom. I speculate that they must be divided internally."
Tian Feng analyzed the situation of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou from military reports.
"Well, Zhao Yun is ordered to lead the Ying Yang Army to Pingyuan County, join forces with Wen Chou, and destroy all invading enemies. At the same time, pay close attention to the developments in Yanzhou, especially Cao Cao."
"promise."
Zhao Yun's Yingyang Army did not stop, but moved forward in light vehicles and rushed towards Leling County.
"General, do you think these Yellow Turban thieves really dare to come to Jizhou?"
A military academy looked at Ji Ling on top of the city with doubts in his eyes.
"Shi Ming, I have told you many times that everything is possible in marching and fighting. Since the Yellow Turbans have stationed troops in Jinan, they will have their own plans. What they are planning is nothing more than Pingyuan County, and Leling County is also to cooperate with the stationing of troops in Qi State.
Yellow Turbans, attack Jinan Kingdom or encircle Taishan County from north to south."
After Ji Ling finished speaking, he looked into the distance.
"Now that my lord is attacking the Black Mountain Army, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are very likely to pretend to attack Jizhou."
After hearing Ji Ling's words, Military Academy Zhou Chi also looked into the distance. He wanted to be clairvoyant and be able to see clearly where the Yellow Turban came from and where it went.
"General, the scouts have come to report that the Yellow Turbans Commander Sima Ju's troops are divided into two groups. On one side, Xiao Shuai Yu Bing leads 20,000 Yellow Turbans to Leling via Dong Chaoyang, while Sima Ju personally leads 40,000 Yellow Turbans from Licheng to the plains.
"
While the two were discussing, the scout rode up to Ji Ling and reported to him the situation of the battle.
As early as Yuan Shu's attack on Heishan in the west, Ji Ling had placed many scouts in Qingzhou. As soon as there was news about the Yellow Turbans, he would rush 800 miles to the plains.
"Okay, we're finally here. I ordered the governor of Leling to clear the plains and resist the Yellow Turbans. The rest of the troops will follow me to send troops to Gaotang."
When Ji Ling heard that Sima Ju led 40,000 troops straight towards the plains, Ji Ling was not surprised but overjoyed. He immediately ordered the entire army to attack and head to Gaotang to meet Sima Ju.
"Commander, Commander-in-Chief Guan Hai is really awesome."
A young handsome man came close to Sima Ju and vented his dissatisfaction.
"Lu Xin, everyone has their own ambitions. I am me and they are them. You need to know why the Yellow Turbans are here. It is not to fight for territory and be the boss, but for the oath and vision of the Heavenly Master."
While Sima Ju was speaking, his eyes were looking towards the sky, as if there was a face there looking at him.
"Commander, are you confident about attacking the plains this time?"
Although what Sima Ju said was somewhat ideal, the reason why Lu Xin followed Sima Ju was precisely because of his unrealistic ideals.
"Are you sure? I'm not sure, so just try your best."
Sima Ju shook his head. The purpose of attacking Pingyuan County this time was different from that of Guan Hai and others.
Guan Hai and the others were really fighting to capture the city, but they were feigning an attack. It would be great if they could capture Pingyuan County. It didn't matter if they couldn't. As long as Yuan Shu knew that the Yellow Turbans were heading north to attack Jizhou, their goal would be achieved.
"promise."
Forty thousand Yellow Turbans were like a rolling torrent, heading towards Gaotang.
Five days later, Sima Ju finally led his army outside Gaotang, but only 38,000 of his 40,000 troops were left.
"Report to the commander, there are enemy troops five miles ahead. There are about 20,000 troops. The flag is plain guard Ji Ling and his fierce tiger army."
When he heard the scout's military report, Sima Ju was shocked. His trip was just a feint attack and he didn't want to come into contact with Yuan Shu's elite, but he didn't expect Ji Ling to come over.
"Commander, Ji Ling, Tiger General Ji Ling."
Lu Xin was startled when he heard that Ji Ling was waiting for them in front.
"When Ji Ling leads the fierce army to Gaotang, the plain must be empty. Lu Xin, I will lead 30,000 troops to fight with Ji Ling here. You will immediately advance lightly and lead 8,000 troops to sneak attack on the plain."
Although Sima Ju was shocked, his mind was not clouded.
Since Ji Ling is here, it means that Pingyuan County must be empty. If he can sneak attack Pingyuan, even if he just surrounds Pingyuan,
Ji Ling will definitely return to the rescue, and then he will take the opportunity to attack. He will definitely defeat Ji Ling and the Tiger Army.
"Commander, that's Ji Ling, can you resist it?"
Although Sima Ju's plan is a good one, he must really be able to resist Ji Ling, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
