Chapter 166 Yanzhou Wenwu was shaken

When Chen Xi was wandering around Wancheng with his army, Yang Ji, who had stationed troops in Juping, also began to send troops to Yanzhou.

Almost within a day after Xia Houyuan left Yingchuan, Yang Ji ordered Zhao Hong to lead the white horse to attack first, bypassing the Lu State and destroying the communication network between the Jibei defenders and Chen Liu.

Afterwards, Yang Ji led the remaining more than 40,000 people and unexpectedly attacked the military camp of Jibei defenders.

Although there was a relatively fierce resistance in the middle, after all, the people guarding Jibei seemed to be members of Cao Cao's clan, probably so. Yang Ji didn't care anyway.

After capturing the Jibei Kingdom, Yang Ji drew a straight line between Jibei and Chenliu on the map, and then used the secret technique of cloud orbit to head straight for Cao Cao's lair, Chenliu.

If they encounter cities in a straight line, they will attack those that can be captured in one day, and simply abandon those that cannot be captured. After all, their main target is Cao Cao and his civil and military forces.

If there is no way to directly capture Cao Cao and his subordinate Wenwu this time, it is unlikely that there will be a chance next time.

After all, this time there was a battle between Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and the peek at half of Nanyang attracted the attention of Yanzhou civil and military forces, giving Yang Ji the opportunity to lead his troops straight into the hinterland of Yanzhou.

After Yang Ji's raid, the princes of the world will definitely think about this aspect of intelligence collection.

In order to avoid the loss of the people of Yanzhou, Cao Cao basically moved the people on the side of Yanzhou near Mount Tai to settle around Chenliu.

The cities that Yang Ji's army encountered on the way forward were basically filled with field soldiers sent by Cao Cao to garrison the fields.

In less than ten days, the 50,000-strong army led by Yang Ji had already reached Changyi in Shanyang County, and they did not encounter much resistance.

Seeing that they were about to enter Jiyin County, Chen Liu's side seemed to have just reacted and quickly sent troops to build a defense line along the Dingtao-Chengwu line in Jiyin.

And with the terrain of Yanzhou, it is not an easy task to stop Yang Ji's progress.

What's more, Yang Ji may not necessarily choose to attack the city. It is not impossible to give up the attack and go straight to Chenliu.

Although Yang Ji has ordered Baima to destroy the communication network in eastern Yanzhou as much as possible.

But in this era where there are more beasts than people, it is extremely difficult to completely block a person in the wild.

Being able to buy Yang Ji ten days is the greatest affirmation of Baima's speed.

This world is not an ordinary world after all. Who knows what magical knowledge those long-established families have passed down from their ancestors.

Just like now, although Yang Ji tried his best to block the traces of the army's march, some spies had already appeared around Changyi City before Chen Liu's troops arrived.

And why did the Yanzhou Army react at this time? Of course it was Chen Xi who was causing trouble in Nanyang.

Otherwise, how could Yanzhou Wenwu's reaction be so slow? It was half a beat slower than the reaction speed of those aristocratic families.

It is said that Chen Xi has been wandering around the counties south of Wancheng, but he refuses to enter Wancheng, which makes Cao Cao and others anxious.

It was precisely because of this that Cao Cao and others were hesitant about sending troops to occupy Wancheng.

If troops are sent to Wancheng, what should we do if Chen Xi leads his troops to intercept Yanzhou's troops?
You know, these soldiers under Chen Xi are not the new recruits from Yanzhou.

Even half of them were new recruits like Yanzhou soldiers before leaving Taishan, but these soldiers, led by Chen Xi and others, defeated Yuzhou all the way. Although they have abandoned Yuzhou now, it cannot be denied that these soldiers are no longer recruits.

Even if these soldiers who had experienced the Battle of Yuzhou could exert 80% of their combat effectiveness, their combat effectiveness would still be much higher than that of the Yanzhou soldiers.

After all, most of the soldiers in their Yanzhou Army were retrained after they occupied Yanzhou.

And Yingchuan was not captured through the battle of Yanzhou soldiers, so even if the current Yanzhou soldiers have some combat experience, compared with the Taishan Army led by Guan Yu, their combat effectiveness is not even a little bit worse.

However, the grain, wealth, various materials and the population in half of Nanyang were too attractive to Cao Cao and others.

Although they have now occupied the boundary of Yingchuan, who would give up if they can gain more.

And their new recruits will not necessarily lose to the army led by Guan Yu, even if the leader of this army is Guan Yu.

However, on a battlefield of this level, even Guan Yu would not be able to display the supreme force he envied.

The only people who can determine the outcome of this war are the soldiers who form a collective and the commander who directs this collective to fight.

New soldiers always have to go through the baptism of war before they can become veterans. In this case, Cao Cao and others will not be afraid of the army led by Guan Yu.

They don't think that their Yanzhou Army will be weaker than the Taishan Army. At most, the Taishan Army has experienced more wars than them, and the gap has not widened.

After all, everyone has the same starting point. At most, you, Liu Xuande, have developed a little faster than us.

Even after the Taishan Army regained the battlefield of Qingzhou, it developed a strong enough army.

But it is impossible for all the troops appearing in Nanyang County to be those who have been trained.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to be afraid of. At most, the loss will be a little bigger, and Yanzhou can still hold on.

Besides, they didn't think that the army led by Guan Yu would occupy Nanyang. After all, Nanyang was separated from Mount Tai by Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

Guan Yu led his army into Nanyang, most likely for Nanyang's various supplies and population. After all, everyone could clearly see the movements of the Taishan Army in Yuzhou.

Nowadays, there is still a steady stream of scholars setting out from Yuzhou to Mount Tai, just to get the permission to borrow books from the Taishan Library.

This trend even spread to Yanzhou, Jingzhou and Xuzhou next to Yuzhou. Many scholars from these three states also set out to Mount Tai to find out.

If this news is confirmed, it is estimated that scholars all over the world will remain unmoved, especially those from poor families.

Finally, they had a place where they could borrow books for free, and they would not let this opportunity pass them by.

As for having a household registration in Taishan or Qingzhou, you can have the authority to borrow books from the Taishan Library Pavilion.

Then add it to Taishan's household registration. What's the point? After all, it's a collection of tens of thousands of books.

Besides, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and many other great scholars are teaching in Taishan Academy, so there is nothing to hesitate about.
