The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 167 Convinced Yanzhou
Since Taishan cannot occupy an enclave across the two states, as long as Yanzhou can win this war, they may even be able to capture the entire Nanyang.

This is no joke, Yuan Shu has now returned to Yuzhou from Xiangyang, and the garrison left in Xiangyang is less than 20,000.

Unless Yuan Shu mobilizes troops from Yuzhou again, the number of Yuzhou troops in Nanyang County will be the same.

And now the Taishan Army led by Guan Yu has given Yanzhou an opportunity to control the entire Nanyang County.

After all, the Taishan Army at this time had cleared all the land south of Wancheng. As long as the Yanzhou Army could win the next battle, it would be logical to take over the land south of Wancheng.

Although Yuan Shu at this time had the ability to interfere with Yanzhou's move to take over Nanyang, Yuan Shu, who was hampered by Chen Xi's backhand, could not send many troops to attack Nanyang.

Even after Yuan Shu solved the troubles in Yuzhou, he thought of taking back Nanyang from Yanzhou.

But by that time, Yanzhou had completely stabilized Nanyang. Even if Yuan Shu wanted to send troops to take back Nanyang, whether he could defeat Yanzhou was one thing.

So Cao Cao dispatched 50,000 troops from Yanzhou headquarters, from Chenliu to Yingchuan, and then to Nanyang.

In the process of planning to take the whole of Nanyang into his pocket, he will take advantage of the war with the Taishan Army to train his Yanzhou soldiers.

As for the depletion of Yanzhou's military strength after transferring 50,000 soldiers and horses from Yanzhou, it is nothing compared to Nanyang County.

After all, Jizhou in the north is planning to start a movie with Youzhou further north, and Yuan Shao can't even care about his little brother Cao Cao now.

In the land of Yongliang in the west, Li Jue and others are now locking the three levels and playing their own games, not wanting to get involved in the chaos in the Central Plains.

There is also Yuzhou in the south. Aren't they currently fighting with Yuan Shu, and they have also robbed him of Yingchuan County.

As for Mount Tai in the east, what should I say? Anyway, Cao Cao has moved the people in the east of Yanzhou to the surrounding counties of Chenliu.

Most of those who stayed in the eastern part of Yanzhou were farming soldiers. I have to say that the farming system spread over Mount Tai is really a good thing.

But with their current strength, they really have no more energy to develop and operate the eastern part of Yanzhou.

Although the group of civil servants headed by Xun Yu in Yanzhou have strong internal affairs management capabilities, they can also achieve good results with the current Chen Xi.

However, the food problem alone can severely limit Xun Yu's ability to develop eastern Yanzhou.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao and others wanted to further develop the eastern part of Yanzhou, the most they could do was send some field soldiers to occupy those lands.

As for whether Taishan wanted to seize the opportunity to capture Yanzhou, in the eyes of Xun Yu and Zhicai and others, this was a thankless task.

After all, it is not an easy task for Taishan, who has occupied the entire territory of Qingzhou, to completely digest Qingzhou. It will take time.

Although the robbery of Yuzhou this time greatly supplemented the various talents that Taishan was short of, it accelerated the digestion of Qingzhou.

However, this still takes time.

Besides, it's impossible for them to watch Taishan digest Qingzhou and remain indifferent.

While Taishan was spending time digesting Qingzhou, time on their side couldn't be stagnant. Taishan is developing, and they are also developing. At most, the speed of development is different.

We are all people with one shoulder supporting another head. It is impossible for you to achieve leapfrog development in this era.

Having said all this, I actually want to explain that the Yanzhou gang had never been to Mount Tai for on-site inspection. They were just civil servants and generals who heard about it and had a fundamental misjudgment of Mount Tai's strength and development.

It was precisely because the civil and military forces in Yanzhou underestimated Taishan's strength that the 50,000-strong army led by Xia Houyuan and Cheng Yu were discovered by Chen Xi's white horse scouts deployed at the junction of Yingchuan and Nanyang as soon as they entered Nanyang.

Although the main force of the White Horse is on Yang Ji's side, Chen Xi already knows what the terrain of Yuzhou and Nanyang County is like, so how could he not bring a few teams of White Horse with him.

After discovering that the Yanzhou Army entered Nanyang, Chen Xi also took out the secret technique of cloud orbit, and then used various military formations to attack Wancheng while ensuring the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

With the help of the tunnel left by Yanzhou in Wancheng, Wancheng was captured before the Yanzhou army reached halfway.

"Wenhe, do you think Xiahou Miaocai and Cheng Zhongde, who have marched to Duyang City now, will be recalled by Cao Mengde urgently?" Chen Xi asked Jia Xu while standing on the wall of Wancheng.

Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi, and anyone could hear the gloating in Chen Xi's words. After all, who would have thought that Cao Cao was undefended in the east of Yanzhou.

It cannot be said that there is no defense, but with the troops deployed by Cao Cao in the east of Yanzhou, it is still possible to block Yang Ji's attack.

But who would have thought that Yang Ji's purpose was not to annex the eastern part of Yanzhou, but to capture Cao Cao and his subordinate Wenwu in Chenliu or Yingchuan.

But now that Yang Ji has advanced to the central part of Shanyang County, Cao Cao and the others must have realized what Yang Ji's true purpose is.

"We must recall, but how much they have to recall depends on whether they can find helpers." Jia Xu said leisurely.

"Yes, maybe even the Yingchuan County that was just occupied will have to be returned to Yuan Gongli." Chen Xi chuckled.

“Or maybe Cao Mengde will choose to ask Yuan Benchu ​​from Jizhou to send troops to Qingzhou.

After all, the lord and Gongsun Bogui are brothers, and Lu Ziqian is still teaching at Taishan Academy.

By then, even Yuan Benchu ​​will be afraid of a north-south attack between us and Youzhou. "Jia Xu also raised a possibility.

"Haha, otherwise, why do you think that guy Zhao Zilong would stay in Mount Tai and wait until Duke Xuande returns with his troops before going to the plains to guard it." Chen Xi said calmly.

Jia Xu nodded, even though they made this plan together.

However, a plan is just a plan after all, and it is impossible for anyone to calculate all changes in reality into the plan.

Just like the current Yanzhou eastern defense line, they never expected that the eastern Yanzhou defense line was so empty, as if it had been abandoned by Cao Cao and others.

After being pushed to the middle of Yanzhou by Yang Ji, Chen Liu seemed to have reacted and hurriedly dispatched the remaining more than 10,000 regular soldiers and tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers to Jiyin County to set up a defense line.
