Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 427 The Battle of Jizhou ([-])
In the City Lord's Mansion...

Liu Qi and a group of subordinates also changed into dry clothes and gathered in the hall.

After all, when it started to rain, they attacked the city, and when they took the city, they were all soaked.

Now that the overall situation in the city has been decided, and there is no resistance force, the rest is how to advance.

Liu Qi glanced at the crowd and said, "Wei has already taken it now, and the number of people who have been scattered from the city is no more than [-]!"

"Yan Liang and Shenpei who retreated from the city will definitely lead their troops to join Yuan Shao. Not surprisingly, Yuan Shao who retreated from Youzhou will reach Guangping before our army. Once they meet, the winner will be determined, and Yuan Shao did not lose too many troops in Youzhou, plus the troops gathered in Guangping from the rest of Jizhou, the total strength will never be less than 35 troops!"

heard.

Everyone also nodded. After all, what Liu Qi said was correct. When the two armies meet, there will definitely be a battle to determine the outcome without any hesitation.

If they want to annex Jizhou, they must defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. Only in this way can they take over Jizhou from Yuan Shao and control it. The rest is to guard against the other kings and stabilize the situation in Jizhou.

But if Yuan Shao wanted to defend Jizhou, he had to defeat them and drive them out of Jizhou.

From the time they swung their troops into Jizhou, they and Yuan Shao both understood that Jizhou would only have one side staying, and there would never be a second result. The victory or defeat would depend on the confrontation between the two armies after they met.

Haven't waited for everyone to speak.

Liu Qi continued: "Now that Yuan Shao is leading his troops from the direction of Guangzong, our army will definitely meet Yuan Jun when we go up from Wei County; we can also lead our troops from Neihuang and Yangping to bypass Yuan Shao's army. , Take Xindu directly, and have a decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Xindu; what do you think is the best way to march?"

The voice fell.

The counselors also frowned a little.

After all, most of the soldiers and horses in Jizhou have been transferred to Guangping, and there are feasible opportunities, but there are also certain risks.

"Master, my subordinates believe that it is safest to go straight to Guangping and confront Yuan Jun head-on. Although Yuan Jun has a great advantage in strength, our army is not afraid of Yuan Jun in a frontal confrontation, and Yuan Shao's subordinates are not single-minded. There are also many opportunities to find during this period!"

"Walking the army around, passing by Yangping, taking advantage of the emptiness everywhere, can quickly take Xindu, but if Yuan Shao reacts and divides his troops into two groups to surround our army, then if he wants to take down Jizhou, It will be several times more difficult, and if you are not careful, you may fall short!"

"The soldiers are divided into two groups, and they don't have an advantage in the face of Yuan Jun, and they may be defeated one by one!"

"It's not that the subordinates build up the ambitions of others and destroy their own prestige, but if our army can defeat Yuan Shao's army head-on, it can also deter the rest of Xiaoxiao and force Jiangdong's troops to withdraw. If we can keep Yuan Shao's army in Guangping, Jizhou is no longer able to resist our army, and our cavalry can drive straight in and take the entire land of Jizhou!"

Guo Jia stood up and analyzed.

Wait for Guo Jia to finish speaking.

Zhuge Liang, who was shaking his feather fan, also stood up, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, my subordinates also agree with what Guo Junshi said, and whether it is through Guangping or Yangping, in the end, we must get rid of Yuan Shao's strength. , In this way, why detour to Yangping and go directly to Guangping!"

"Subordinates wait for second!"

Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others also stood up and agreed.

Especially Huang Zhong and other generals, with fighting spirit in their eyes, obviously didn't want to make a detour.

Yuan Shao mobilized the soldiers and horses from Jizhou to rush to Guangping, and the soldiers and horses led by Yuan Shao from Youzhou were arranged in Guangping. Such a formation obviously wanted to carry out a decisive battle in Guangping. How could they Thinking about missing out.

That is their battlefield.

heard.

"In this way, we will take Guangping directly!" Liu Qi said.

He also knew that no one would agree to detour. After all, even if Xindu was taken down, Yuan Shao would still be able to fight back with his troops. If he wanted to truly control Jizhou, Yuan Shao and the hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops had to Only when they are defeated can they take over the land of Jizhou.

Moreover, the gentry in Jizhou were also on Yuan Shao's side.

After taking Guangping directly and defeating Yuan Jun, they can also drive straight in. Yuan Shao is powerless to compete with him.

The reason why they thought of taking a detour was because they wanted to reduce their losses. Taking advantage of Yuan Shao's deployment of heavy troops in Guangping, they took Xindu directly and captured Xindu, which could also damage Yuan Jun's morale, and it was easy to deal with!

While morale is high, morale is low at the same time. In many cases, this alone is enough to see the results.

"promise!"

Hearing Liu Qi's order, everyone also complied, and also put on a smile, and there was infinite fighting spirit in their eyes.

I can't wait to have a big battle right away.

After all, Yan Liang gave up Dongjun directly, and he couldn't hold out in Puyang, but when he came to Weijun, he didn't expect Jia Xu to come up with a sinister plan, destroying [-] yuan troops outside the city gate with a fire.

And there is a second plan, which is to include his own five thousand soldiers and horses in it.

He didn't perform well either, Yan Liang had already ordered to evacuate and left Wei County.

From then on, none of them had any chance to make a move, which made these generals feel a little depressed.

After all, in this way, they will have nothing to do with them, and they will lose their enthusiasm. Only when they go to the field to kill the enemy can they be able to excite their hearts.

And Yuan Shao stationed a large number of troops in Guangping, which was exactly in line with their thoughts.

Liu Qi smiled lightly.

How could he not be clear about the thoughts of these generals, but he didn't say much.

I glanced outside the hall, it was still raining, and it didn't stop, and the sky became cloudy, maybe it wouldn't stop raining today.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "The rain will not stop for a while, so I will stay here until the morning of tomorrow, and then continue to march in Guangping, and have a decisive battle with Yuan Jun, and the winner will be determined!"

"promise!"

Everyone has no objection to this, and it will not have any influence.

Although Yuan Jun's soldiers and horses in Guangping have not yet assembled, and the army led by Yuan Shao is still on the way, but even if they are marching now, they will at most gather at the same time as Yuan Jun all assembled in Guangping.

It was also impossible to capture Quang Binh before it happened.

After deciding.

Liu Qi also discussed some details with everyone, but did not continue the discussion.

And they are very confident that they can defeat Yuan Jun, but no one dares to be 100% sure of the final result.

the other side.

Yan Liang and Shen Pei also led the remnants of the defeated generals who escaped from Wei County, braved the rain, and marched towards Guang Guang.

Guangping also gathered more and more Yuan Jun and set up camp outside the city. After all, hundreds of thousands of troops could not be placed in the city.
