The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 624 Four-way Siege
Yuan Shao sat on the table with a gloomy expression.

He doesn't trust Xu An, and the report of the evil spirit also proves that the Taiping Road is not peaceful.

Now that the Yellow Turban Army has withdrawn most of its soldiers from Liangzhou, the main force of the Yellow Turban Army has returned to Bingzhou. At the same time, the activities of the Jizhou Eagle Wolf Guard are also showing signs of being active.

He knew what Tian Feng said was correct, Xu An had been waiting, waiting for a chance to rush out of Bingzhou.

Dong Zhuo's defeat was really fast, and Sun Jian's speed of stabilizing the interior also exceeded Yuan Shao's expectations, so everything now seems a little flustered.

"Xu An's biggest possibility is to capture Youzhou while our army is fighting fiercely with the Eastern Army."

Tian Feng pointed to Youzhou in the north with a solemn expression.

"The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army is brave, and Liangzhou cavalry can't resist. With the help of the Xiongnu and Shanggu Wuhuan, if we attack Youzhou, the main force of our army is now in the south, and it may be difficult to resist."

Although Ta Dun was brave, he only had one man with two arms. There are not a few brave generals in the Yellow Turban Army.

Wuhuan of the three counties fought repeatedly and suffered heavy losses. In the battle of Rushui, Wuyan, king of Khan and Lu, was beheaded and later defeated by Gongsundu.

Tian Feng knew very well that Wuhuan in the three counties and the defenders in Youzhou today would never be able to stop the Yellow Turban Army from invading.

Yuan Shao's face was extremely ugly. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to defeat Youzhou, how could he give up so easily.

"If you want to keep Youzhou, you need at least [-] troops to defend it, so that you can resist it."

Ju Shou frowned, staring at the map in front of him.

If [-] soldiers were mobilized to go north, then Youzhou could be kept, but the southern line could not stop Sun Jian. When the time came to protect Youzhou, there was no way to preserve Jizhou.

"The victory of this battle depends on Dong Zhuo."

Tian Feng looked solemn, facing Yuan Shao, and said solemnly.

"Dong Zhuo?"

"That's right, it's Dong Zhuo."

Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo is now trapped in the Kanto region. The terrain in Hanzhong in the south is steep and cannot expand southward. The east, west and north sides are all occupied by the Taiping Road, just like a caged animal."

"Dong Zhuo is the key to breaking the game."

Tian Feng put his hands on the Guanzhong area surrounded by light yellow dye.

"Dong Zhuo's army was defeated in the Battle of Yanshi, and its strength was greatly damaged, but there were still many soldiers in the Guanzhong area. However, these parts were not sent out because they needed to guard against Xu An. In the chaotic situation everywhere, block the attack of Dong Zhuo's army."

"Since Xu An wants to watch the two tigers fight and profit from it, then drag him into the chaotic battle, so that he has no energy to attack our Youji two places."

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked up at Tian Feng.

"You mean, let Dong Zhuo attack Xu An, so that Xu An has no time to clone, and there is no extra force to attack our army."

"What Duke Ming said is exactly what I think in my heart."

Tian Feng bowed his hands and said in a deep voice.

"The current situation in Guanzhong is clearly visible. Dong Zhuo's mastermind, Li Ru, is not a mediocre person. He must be able to clearly understand the dangers in Guanzhong and their current predicament."

"Xu An occupies the two places, the danger to Dong Zhuo is much greater than to us, and Dong Zhuo has more worries in his heart than we do, so I think it only needs to send a lobbyist to state the pros and cons, and Dong Zhuo's Northern Expedition will be promoted. Xu An, drag Xu An into the quagmire."

Xu An now occupies the northern territory, and if he wants to continue to expand, it is absolutely impossible to attack the Xianbei tribe in the north.

The Xianbei tribes in the north originally had three tribes, East, West, and Central.

The western Xianbei broke away from the Xianbei sequence very early and was already defeated by Xu An. Its remnants were defeated by Wusun and other tribes in the north, and now it seems to be merged into the central Xianbei.

After Tan Shihuai's death, Helian's younger brother, Kuitou, led Xianbei on behalf of Qianman. His son Qianman was young and did not have any problems.

But as Qianman grew up, the leader was unwilling to abdicate, so a protracted war broke out between the two Xianbei tribes.

Kuitou and Qianman are equal in strength, Xianbei in the east supports Kuitou, while Xianbei in the middle supports Qianman.

Although Xianbei has been fighting internally for nearly ten years, the two sides have not fought on a large scale, so their strength is still there. It is impossible for Xu An to go to Xianbei to die for the cold place in the north.

Moreover, the elimination of Xianbei will not help. There are still tribes in the Northland. Unless they fight all the way to the vicinity of the Arctic Ocean, it will be difficult to eliminate their worries after all.

Since it is impossible to attack Xianbei, there are only four states to choose from: Youzhou, Jizhou, Sili, and Yizhou, and the most likely of them are Youzhou and Sili.

"Dong Zhuo is now in a predicament, and the only way to break the situation is to defeat Xu An."

Tian Feng looked deeply and said in a low voice.

"Dong Zhuo, he has no choice."

Yuan Shao pondered for a while.

"Xu An's generals are strong now, and the soldiers are strong. I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will be unable to defeat Xu An. Instead, he is speeding up the time for the collapse of Guanzhong."

Tian Feng paused and smiled.

"There are tens of thousands of troops under Dong Zhuo's command. No matter how bad it is, Xu An can be dragged into the mud. Regardless of Dong Zhuo's victory or defeat, Xu An will focus all his attention on Dong Zhuo, and our army can take advantage of it." This opportunity defeats Sun Jian, captures Yanzhou and Qingzhou as one, and looks at Yuzhou and Guanzhong."

"Once our army defeats Sun Jian, we can occupy Luoyang and open up the connection with Guanzhong."

Ju Shou turned around and looked at Yuan Shao.

"At that time, our army will enter the Guanzhong and welcome Dajia from the west, that is, the capital of officials and strong soldiers will be attached to them, and the princes will be enslaved by the emperor, and the beasts and horses will fight for justice. Who can resist it?"

"Dong Zhuo's life and death, what does it have to do with me?"

Jushou took a step forward and walked to Tian Feng's side.

"Dong Zhuo may not be able to defeat Xu An with only the land in Guanzhong, but we still have foreign aid."

"foreign aid?"

"Most of the land in Youzhou is now in the hands of our army, but the two counties of Dai County and Shanggu County are in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army."

"And the Northland is the Eastern Xianbei..."

Ju Shou's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice.

"Now that the Xianbei tribes are in constant internal turmoil and are in a stalemate, our army can use our advantage to induce the two Xianbei tribes to go south and invade the territory of Bingzhou."

"Let Tadun lead the three counties Wuhuan to attack Dai County and Shanggu County, and use Xianbei in the east as reinforcements. If we can capture the long-lost two counties of Youzhou, the initiative will once again be in the hands of our army!"

"Although the Qiangs in Liangzhou were overwhelmed by Xu An's iron-fisted tactics, they are advancing in three directions. If Xu An has difficulty parrying, Dong Zhuo can persuade a familiar man to stir up commotion in Liangzhou."

"Internal and external troubles, sending troops from four directions, if the plan goes well, when our army and Sun Jian are determined to win or lose, Xu An may still be tired of coping with the predicament on all sides."

"In this way, the dilemma of our army can be solved."

Ju Shou stood up straight, his eyes cold.
