Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 365 Yuan Shao is Back

After clearing away You Beiping and Liu Wei's powerful clan, Liu Wei continued to march southward, heading towards his next target...the country of Yan.

If it’s about the country of Yan, everyone might not be familiar with it, and they might think it’s back to the Warring States period, but if it’s about the county government of the country of Yan, everyone will know it, and the county government of the country of Yan is Jixian.

Liu Wei sent troops to Yan State, and in less than five days, even the two counties of Kechangping and Anci, the army went straight to the city of Jixian County.

However, Ji County was originally the prefecture of Youzhou, with a tall city wall and extremely strong city walls, as well as powerful defensive weapons such as the Qianjin Gate. According to Liu Wei's calculation, even if the city walls of Ji County were bombarded day and night, it would take six or seven days to bombard the city walls. Blow down the city wall (because the artillery needs to be cooled, five or six shells can be fired in an hour).

Moreover, Liu Wei didn't dare to let the artillery battalion attack the city at night, because once Yuan Jun got out of the city at night and attacked his artillery, he was afraid that his enhanced Italian artillery would be taken away by Yuan Jun, and it would be too late for him to regret it.

"Zilong, can you find out how many enemy troops are in the city? Who is the guard?"

Sitting in the handsome tent, Liu Wei frowned, unexpectedly they were stumped by Ji County who were making rapid progress.

"My lord, according to Tan Ma's investigation, Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, was in charge of the city. Yuan Shao gave Yuan Tan an army of 30 troops, and ordered him to take charge of Jixian County. Qu Yi, who was originally serving in Liaozhou, was also sent to the city. here!"

Zhao Yun replied slowly.

"Hey, this guy Yuan Benchu ​​is not stupid, he actually knows to send Qu Yi to help Yuan Tan defend the city."

Qu Yi served under Liu Wei. Liu Wei knew Qu Yi's ability, he was a rare handsome talent, and he was familiar with his troops. It might not be that easy to take down Ji County.

Moreover, Liu Wei guessed that according to his own understanding, Qu Yi would probably go out of the city to meet the enemy and confront them head-on based on his superiority in military strength.

If the military strength is equal, Qu Yi is not afraid at all, but Qu Yi has [-] more troops than himself, and he has come from a long distance, so it is difficult to supply logistics. If Qu Yi confronts himself head-on, while sending If a person cuts off his own grain path, he will be in some danger.

"My lord, don't worry about Qu Yi. Although Yuan Shao put Qu Yi here to help Yuan Tan guard the city, it is absolutely impossible to delegate power to Qu Yi! Qu Yi can only command a part of the army, or even ask Yuan Tan for instructions on mobilizing troops. So Qu Yi can't mobilize troops, he is a tiger without claws, nothing to fear!"

Guo Jia analyzed for Liu Wei.

"Well, Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, but even so, it may not be easy for us to conquer Ji County!"

Liu Wei sighed again.

"Report! Yuan Shao led an army of 50 to support, and now he has entered Ji County!"

A Huben Guard led a scout into the big tent.

"Yuan Benchu ​​is here? Then it's not suitable to stay here for long!"

Liu Wei rubbed his chin, and then said: "I will pass on the order to Yuexi to lead the Xiong Wei army. After Zhao Yun leads the Flying Leopard Army to meet him, the whole army pulls out the stronghold and retreats to Xuwu County."

"My lord, it's just Yuan Benchu. We defeated him before, why are we retreating now?"

Tai Shici didn't understand what Liu Wei meant, so he stood up and asked.

"Taishi Ziyi, do you dare to question the prince's order?"

Before Liu Wei could speak, Dian Wei, who was behind Liu Wei, had already widened his eyes.

"Ziyi, it's not that I'm afraid of Yuan Shao. This time our army has traveled a long distance and our troops are insufficient. I'm afraid that he will cut off my food supply. Secondly, Yuan Shao's menacing attack will overwhelm me in morale. We must defend the city. , kill his vigor, and confront him head-on."

Liu Wei explained to Tai Shici.

"So that's how it is. The general understands, but how can I let General Yue and General Zhao always do this matter of severing the queen? I am willing to lead my troops and horses to make the lord's queen!"

Tai Shici said.

"Hehe, Ziyi has this heart, and this king has his heart, but how many cavalry do you have in your hand? Three hundred or five hundred, how can this be possible? Both of them lead cavalry with strong mobility. Emergency situations can also be quickly retreated, and Ziyi, you are from Qingzhou, right?"

"Reporting to my lord, the final general will be from Donglai, Qingzhou!"

"Okay, these days you go back to Liaozhou first, and let me search for Qingzhou people, and then gather them together. As for the weapons and armor, you can ask the prime minister!"

Liu Wei said to Tai Shici.

"My lord, I, Tai Shici, are actually people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. I will not return to Liaozhou. I will fight Yuan Jun to the death!"

"No, no, if you can muster an army of more than [-] people from Qingzhou, then you will be a great achievement and will be of great use to me in taking down Qingzhou in the future!"

"Here, good! Then I will set off immediately, and I will go back to Liaozhou to summon the Qingzhou Army for my lord!"

Tai Shici cupped his fists at Liu Wei, then got up and left.

"My lord, why do you want such an army and horses? If we don't have enough soldiers and horses, we can go back to Liaozhou to recruit soldiers. How can we say that our Liaozhou now has a total population of nearly ten million people, and get rid of the slaves of foreign races and Sanhan?" There must be five or six million people, and if you want another 600 troops, I can get them for you!"

Dian Wei looked at Liu Wei puzzled.

"Hehe, you don't understand this. When Gaozu surrounded Xiang Yu at Gaixia, he ordered his subordinates to sing the songs of the Chu people. As a result, Xiang Yu's subordinates surrendered one after another because they missed their hometown. Therefore, Qingzhou people must be used to attack Qingzhou!"

Liu Wei opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh, I understand. When everyone sings Qingzhou's song, the Qingzhou army will disarm and surrender. That's how it is, that's how it is!"

Liu Wei glanced at Dian Wei helplessly, then shook his head, rotten wood cannot be carved!
On the same day, the 20 troops led by Liu Wei withdrew to Xuwu County and defended the city against Yuan Shao.

Three days later, Yuan Shao led an army to the city of Xuwu, and shouted to the city: "Liu Ziyan, you are so shameless to attack me when I was not prepared, Liu Ziyan, if you return the city that occupied me now, I can let the past go and spare your life, otherwise, I am determined to kill you this time and take your Liaozhou!"

"Hahahaha, it's just each other! And aren't you afraid that Cao Mengde will steal your back door?"

Liu Wei spoke to Yuan Shao.

"Tell you Liu Wei, I won't pay attention to Cao Cao this time, I'll focus on you!"
