I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 208 Form Reversal
The situation is turbulent and the world is ever-changing. The Bingzhou army in Jizhou and Youzhou is advancing rapidly according to the original plan. These two places are also undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Guan Yu led a main force of [-] to [-] people, all the way north, attacked the city and pulled out the village, and regained Jizhou, basically did not encounter any decent resistance.After all, Yuan Shao's main force had been completely wiped out by the Bingzhou Army, and those left in the counties and counties were old, weak, sick and disabled who had no combat effectiveness, and did not dare to confront the Bingzhou Army.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan in the north also successfully attracted Chun Yuyue's army, which also provided Guan Yu with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Soon, under the deterrence of Guan Yu's army, the counties and counties of Jizhou surrendered wherever the army arrived.The Bingzhou army pushed Guangping County, Yangping County, Pingyuan County, Changshan and Zhao Guo.Bingfeng has advanced to Zhongshan, Hejian County and Bohai County bordering Youzhou.

Although Gongsun Zan of Youzhou led an army of 2 to win all the way and planned to seize Jizhou, Chunyuyue's army of more than [-] was defending north of Jizhou.

Chun Yuyue relied on the terrain to stick to Hejian County, and confronted Gongsun Zan.Since Chunyuyue was surrounded by Gongsun Zan's army, he had no news from the outside world at all, so he naturally didn't know that Guan Yu was leading the army all the way to attack the city and pull out the stronghold, heading north.

In order to speed up the seizure of territory, Gongsun Zan also stormed Hejian County regardless of casualties. After paying a price of more than 3 yuan, he wiped out Chunyuyue's defenders, and Chunyuyue also died among the rebellious army.

Although Gongsun Zan finally wiped out Chunyuyue's defenders and occupied Hejian County and Zhongshan County, after such a delay, Gongsun Zan's steps to the south were delayed, and the vast territory in the south was seized by the Bingzhou Army.

After hearing the news, Gongsun Zan was very annoyed, knowing that he was being teased again, and he was pressed and rubbed on the ground continuously for the same thing.

"Humph, Li Shimin, a villain, is still swearing to talk about an alliance with me, but he dares to tease me. I'm so angry. If I don't show him some color, I swear I won't be a human being. Come on, immediately mobilize soldiers and horses, and go south to capture Jizhou." Gongsun Zan said angrily.

The worried Tian Kai quickly said: "My lord, if our army goes south alone and attacks Jizhou at this time, it will leave an empty space behind our army. If the Bingzhou army sends troops to attack again, our army will definitely be in trouble. Please calm down and think again." Let's do it."

Tian Kai began to doubt Li Shimin's real intentions, and always felt that there was a huge conspiracy in it, and it seemed that the Bingzhou Army's target was not only Jizhou, but also Youzhou, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

When Gongsun Zan heard about it, he asked in great displeasure, "Are we going to miss this opportunity and allow the Bingzhou army to take Jizhou without doing anything? How can I swallow this breath?"

"Uh... this..." Tian Kai was at a loss for words for a moment, and didn't know how to answer him.

Just when everyone hadn't discussed a countermeasure, they suddenly heard shouting outside the door: "Report...Report..., General Yan Gang of Yuyang County urgently reports..."

Gongsun Zan felt a "thump" in his heart, as if he had an ominous premonition.

The messenger staggered in and said out of breath, "My lord, the rebels Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yu Yin, together with Xianbei, Wuhuan and other alien races launched a [-]-strong attack on Yuyang County, and Yan Gang is fighting hard. .”

"What? Yuyang County was attacked by rebels?" Gongsun Zan was shocked.

The thing that worried him the most still happened. Xian Yufu was his heart disease. Liu Yu's subordinates, these people really linger.

After recalling the cause and effect of the incident, Tian Yu seemed to understand a little bit. He finally understood the strategy of the Bingzhou Army.He stood up and said, "My lord, I'm afraid we have fallen into the trap carefully designed by Li Shimin?"

"What? A trap?" Gongsun Zan asked with some doubts.

"My lord, I'm afraid that the rebel Xian Yufu has secretly joined the Bingzhou army. He just waited for our army to go south to fight for Jizhou, and then suddenly raised his troops to draw the bottom line of our army. This made our army unable to look after each other, and not only let our army withdraw from the occupied territory. Jizhou, maybe the Bingzhou army has reached out to Youzhou and is ready to take the opportunity to capture Youzhou." Tian Yu expressed his final worry.

"Hiss..." Gongsun Zan was also shocked by Tian Yu's words.

But at this time, Gongsun Zan was very unwilling. After working hard for a month, he lost nearly [-] troops, and the Hejian County and Zhongshan Kingdom he occupied, could it be that he just gave it up?
"Furthermore, relying on Xianyufu's [-] mob to take my Youzhou, it would be too small of me. Li Shimin is being besieged by Cao Cao, so where are the extra troops?" So Gongsun Zan was a little hesitant.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's hesitation, Tian Kai immediately stood up and said, "My lord, don't lose the big because of small things. If you don't withdraw the army at this time, it will inevitably make Xian Yufu and others bigger. If Guan Yu's army goes all the way north at this time, If the rebels are rarely used to attack from the north and the south, then we must not be able to look at each other head to tail, and the situation must be extremely critical."

Tian Kai's words completely moved Gongsun Zan. If it continues, not only the two counties, but even Youzhou will lose their protection.

Although Tian Kai didn't know the specific actions of the Bingzhou Army, he analyzed it in a random manner, which completely moved Gongsun Zan.

"Ah! Withdraw the troops..."

In the end, in desperation, Gongsun Zan still chose to withdraw his troops, and the old nest was lost, so what's the use of these counties?
…………

In fact, Guan Yu's army was stationed in Anping County at this time. After learning that Gongsun Zan had occupied Hejian County, he did not act rashly. He was waiting until Gongsun Zan took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

It's not that he's afraid that he won't be able to beat Gongsun Zan, it's just that he can take down Hejian County and other places without bloodshed, so why not do it?Besides, Gongsun Zan will be taken care of.

Guan Yu's mission is not to eliminate Gongsun Zan, he only needs to occupy the entire territory of Jizhou. He has more important missions waiting for him to complete.

When news came from the scout army that Gongsun Zan had led his army to retreat northward, Guan Yu acted immediately and sent troops to Zhongshan, Hejian and Bohai counties.

After these counties experienced Gongsun Zan's baptism of war, they were already riddled with holes, the people were in dire straits, and they had no resistance, so Guan Yu took these three counties almost without bloodshed.

After regaining the three counties, Guan Yu left more than 1 troops stationed in the three counties, waiting for the governor of Jizhou Jushou to send people to take over and completely restore the administrative jurisdiction of the Bingzhou Army over Jizhou.

On the other hand, he led the army to the south and headed towards Wei Jun.As for Youzhou, someone will naturally make a move.

So far, all Jizhou was taken by Guan Yu. Except for the loss of more than [-] troops when Yan Liang was eliminated, the other counties and counties basically did not encounter decent resistance, which can be called a beautiful victory.
