The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1178: Great Victory ([-])

Five days later, Lu Xun commanded the entire army, and a large-scale war broke out with all Cao Wei's troops in Bingzhou in Fenyang and Shangdang.

This new battle lasted a total of six days.

Lu Xun's army successfully broke through the defense lines of Cao Wei's three coalition forces, successfully captured Fenyang City, and obtained a lot of strategic materials.

However, Guo Huai was Guo Huai, and he quickly led the army to retreat to Pingtao City in Taiyuan County. He still abandoned the entire territory of Xihe County, but he was able to completely stop Lu Xun's army and continue northward on the road to Jinyang.

In this way, although Lu Xun's army won the battle and captured something, due to time constraints, they could only unfortunately decide to stop continuing to go north.

And even if Xihe County is captured, according to the logistics supply route, it is almost impossible for the Shu Han army to hold Xihe County.

Jiang Wei also successfully repelled the reinforcements from Jizhou, and once again pushed the army to the city of Shangdang.But the biggest result is that it can only reach this point.

With the enemy's army sticking to Shangdang, it is very difficult to conquer it, and it will inevitably take a long time.

At the same time, the Liaodong army is ready to attack Youzhou with the whole army at this time.

After Gongsun Yuan led Liao Li to hold a flag sacrifice in Changli, he appointed Bei Yan as the vanguard, and dozens of generals, and the [-] army under his command finally began to attack Liaoxi County first.

The geographical scope of Liaoxi County is actually not very large, and the population is not very large. There are only five counties in total: Yangle County, Feiru County, Haiyang County, Linyu County, and Lingzhi County.

Linyu County is the border area between Cao Wei and Liaodong, and a heavy army of 4000 people is stationed there to guard it.Originally, there were not so many troops here, but they were temporarily dispatched by Guanqiu Jian after he withdrew from Liaodong.

The purpose, of course, is to worry that the Liaodong army will suddenly attack here.

It should be said that Cao Wei must have noticed that the Liaodong army was well prepared. However, because the situation in Bingzhou was more urgent, even if Sima Yi continued to write to Cao Rui, he did not get a satisfactory answer after all.

Moreover, Sima Yi has no military power after all.After all, he is not the governor of Youzhou, so he can mobilize the troops in Youzhou to garrison in the northeast to curb the military operations of the Liaodong army.

However, as the intelligence continued to gather in Sima Yi's hands, he discovered that the Liaodong Army would definitely make a big move in Youzhou next.

Therefore, Sima Yi took decisive measures to deal with it.He also no longer waited for the latest order from Luoyang City, and directly commanded the 5000 troops directly under him, and set off for Youbeiping and Liaoxi counties.

However, Sima Yi's action was actually too late.

Because at this time, the Liaodong army had already entered the territory of Liaoxi County.

After Liao Li's personal planning, Bei Yan led the most elite cavalry unit in the Liaodong army. Under the cover of night, they rushed across the border like a whirlwind. The Cao Wei garrison in Liaoxi County did not respond at all. Under such circumstances, like chopping vegetables, he successfully wiped out Guan Qiujian's 4000-man garrison.

So, then everything becomes easier.

Gongsun Yuan commanded the army, and within three days, he successively captured the four county towns of Yangle County, Haiyang County, Linyu County, and Lingzhi County. The speed was really like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.Among them, only Yangle County, the seat of Liaoxi County, encountered some minor troubles, and the other three counties almost all fell without a fight.

Now, within the territory of Liaoxi County, only the westernmost Feiru County remained.

And the result of winning more than one county in one day immediately made Gongsun Yuan smile.

He never dreamed that this time the dispatch of troops would go so smoothly, which completely boosted his confidence, and he lost the fear of Cao Wei's army that had always existed.

Gongsun Yuan's rejoicing nature was immediately revealed.He immediately wanted Yangle County to rely on the generals, and he wanted to throw a feast to celebrate.

Fortunately, Liao Li's mind was relatively calm at this time, so he hurriedly went to find Gongsun Yuan himself, and advised Gongsun Yuan that the Liaodong army has indeed achieved a very good record.But the problem is that it is only the initial stage of the war. The Liaodong army dispatched troops so quickly that Cao Wei's Youzhou army was caught off guard.

Next, as the war gradually unfolds, not only the Cao Wei army in Youzhou will start to integrate, but also the Youzhou army that entered Bingzhou will return to aid Youzhou. I'm afraid it will also help Youzhou.

At the same time, one has to consider that the Yongzhou Shuhan army in Bingzhou is approaching the time limit for retreat. Whether the troops of Youzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou there will directly enter Youzhou to fight.This is also a huge unknown variable.

Therefore, what Liao Li meant was that it is still time to take advantage of the enemy's lack of reaction and seize as much territory as possible in Youzhou, so that the celebration can be delayed later.

Due to the brilliant victories—compared to the Liaodong army in the past, Gongsun Yuan now admires Liao Li a lot, and he naturally listens to what he said. Sure enough, the celebration was terminated and Liao Li began to redeploy the army to attack again.

In fact, Liao Li had already sent an army from the right wing at this time, going west to capture Feiru County.Moreover, the strategic position of Feiru County is very important, and it is one of the two passages for the Liaodong army to invade Youbeiping County.

Liao Li immediately took orders, left the Yangle County Government Office, got on his horse and went straight to the camp outside the city.

Liao Li sent an order to Bei Yan, asking him to lead the army to the southern border of Liaoxi County and prepare for the invasion of Youbeiping.

At the same time, Liao Li himself commanded an army of 1 people and came to Feiru County.

The size of this county is not very large, similar to the information Liao Li got earlier.

Liao Li ordered his lieutenant general Xianyugao to attack the west gate, Yamen general Huahui to attack the east gate, and Du Weiwenlu to attack the south gate.Because the north city gate was facing the river, Liao Li sent a team to carry out a feint attack.

At the same time, Liao Li also dispatched General Yingyang Fuwu to command a 3000-strong force to march west quickly to occupy the border passages and cut off the Cao Wei army's retreat.

Fu Wu looked at the map and asked, "Military Master, are we still coming back to join the battle?"

"No need, when Cao Wei's army was defeated and fled from Feiru County, it was enough for you to kill, what's the rush?" Liao Li smiled, "You should bring more food, grass and weapons, no matter whether you get news of Feiru's victory in two days , you have to lead your troops to attack Qinglong Town."

"After you occupied Qinglong Town and cut off the retreat route of Cao Wei's army, Cao Wei's army lost the most important stronghold in the northeast of Youbeiping. At this time, it is difficult for their reinforcements to continue northward, and they chose to march southeast." Liao Li exhorted.

Fu Wu immediately took the order and left.

Then, Liao Li said: "Xian Yugao, you can bring your iron cavalry to the vicinity of Feiru overnight, kill whatever you see, and scare Cao Wei's army first, disturbing their morale."

Xian Yugao worriedly said: "Military Master, will this backfire and force Cao Wei's army to defend the city? If our army wants to take down Feiru, the difficulty will increase accordingly."

Liao Li shook his head and said: "Cao Wei's army has few soldiers. It is a dead end for them to defend the city. Only by withdrawing to the area south of Youbeiping can they persevere. The enemy army will not be so stupid. They will definitely preserve their strength as soon as possible. Retreat. The tighter we push, the faster they will retreat. This time, no matter how much we pay, we must defeat Cao Wei's army in the shortest possible time and seize more territory, and the more peaceful the future of Liaodong will be. "

Xian Yugao bowed to accept the order.
