Chapter 184
In the secret naval barracks in Bohai County, Qi Jiguang summoned [-] marines and prepared to set off at night.

He set off one day later than Zhu Ling's Jizhou army's main force. After all, it was a secret operation.

Moreover, without boosting morale like the main force of the Jizhou Army, what the Navy needs is absolute secrecy.

Standing on the bow of the ship and heading towards Le Lang, it will take at least ten days to sail at sea.

And this is already the most advanced warship, according to Qi Jiguang's own cognition, let skilled craftsmen modify it.

Qi Jiguang's deputy general stood beside him and asked uneasily, "General, it's really dangerous for us to cross the entire sea like this!"

Although this lieutenant general is also a master with strong water skills, what he is worried about is the soldiers under his command who have just been trained for more than a year.

Although these naval soldiers are already familiar with water, they have not tried sailing for more than ten days.

Qi Jiguang frowned slightly, glanced at the moonlight and said: "My lord sent troops to attack Youzhou, we must also take action."

"In the entire Youzhou area, only Lelang County can let us land, so we have to cross half of the Bohai Sea."

"Whether the soldiers can persist or not, they must persist desperately! Also, try to catch fish during the day to reduce unnecessary food consumption."

The sea breeze blew on Qi Jiguang's face, and the moonlight stretched his shadow infinitely.

After the lieutenant heard General Qi's words, he immediately sent an order to go down, and at the same time used the flag to contact other warships.

Qi Jiguang carried enough food and grass, enough for the 500 people under his command to persist for half a month.

But once they landed, they only had five or six days of rations, so they had to save food and money.

If Lelang County cannot be attacked and captured within three days, Qi Jiguang knows that his entire army will be wiped out with this one piece!
However, such a 3000-man army, whose own survival is a problem, will become the last straw that crushes Gongsun Zan.

Three days later, in the city of Zhuojun

When Xu Rong met with Zhu Ling and Lu Zhishen, the three of them attached great importance to etiquette.

They are all equals, so in private, no one puts on the airs of the chief general.

Although Zhu Ling commanded the Jizhou army this time, Xu Rong still has his own choice on how to send troops.

Xu Rong laughed loudly: "You two, here is a brief topographic map of Xiyouzhou, and this location is Jixian County."

"Ji County is impenetrable now, and it is personally guarded by Gongsun Zan's army, so we won't have any advantage in attacking."

"My lord also gave me a general order, asking me to cooperate with the two to capture Shanggu County and form a siege to Ji County."

Xu Rong simply pointed out the terrain near Ji County, and at the same time asked Lu Zhishen to take a look at the nearby plains.

Plain areas are suitable for cavalry charge operations, which is where Baima Yicong is best at displaying combat effectiveness.

The bloodthirsty tiger guard is a heavy armored infantry that restrains the white horse righteousness, so the task of restricting the white horse righteousness is naturally Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen nodded slightly.

He was very calm and did not express his personal opinions.

But Zhu Ling said: "General Xu, I can cooperate with General Zhang Yan to attack Shanggu County, but I'm afraid it will take more than 20 days to take it down."

"My lord has already enabled the Xianbei tribe Kebi to restrain other grassland alien races, so Gongsun Zan won't have more support."

"But there are other forces of the Gongsun clan in the Liaodong area, especially Gongsun Du on Le Lang's side!"

Xu Rong also nodded, knowing that Gongsun Du is a person, and he is not a member of the clan who is closely related to Gongsun Zan.

Although they are all surnamed Gongsun, Gongsun Du is even more ruthless and knows how to endure.

After Lu Zhishen heard Gongsun Du's name, he said, "The Sa family also knows that Gongsun Du is a man. His father, Gongsun Yan, fled to Liaodong."

"Although Gongsun Du is not as powerful as Gongsun Zan, he is no less difficult to deal with."

"However, he is far away on the peninsula of the Liaodong region. Even if he wants to come to support Gongsun Zan, it will take at least a month's march."

Lu Zhishen knew the situation in Liaodong better than Zhu Ling.

He is a typical person who looks carefree in secret but is careful in heart.

Xu Rong and Zhu Ling nodded after hearing Lu Zhishen's words. They knew what Lu Zhishen meant.

In other words, the battle situation in the western part of Youzhou will be established within a month, and even if Gongsun Du comes to support, it will not help.

Just as the three generals were thinking, Guo Jia walked in from the outside and smiled slightly.

"The analysis of the three generals is very accurate, but we still need to cut off Gongsun Zan's support as much as possible."

"Tomorrow morning, General Lu Zhishen will lead the bloodthirsty tiger guards to station at the main road in the southern part of Yuyang to block Baima Yicong."

"General Xu Rong led his troops to the north to cooperate with General Qu Yi to besiege Ji County. But this time, you need to attack."

"We also have the support of General Pan Feng, the guard of Bohai County. Now that there is no fighting in Qingzhou, he will come to support."

"As for General Zhu Ling, please lead the Jizhou army to directly attack Shanggu County and take Yuyang County within fifteen days."

Guo Jia spoke out his strategic plan calmly, without any fancy plots.

In the face of the absolute strength of the army, all conspiracies and tricks are delusions and nothingness, and have little effect.

Moreover, Guo Jia had already calculated Gongsun Zan's deployment of troops, and he was also preparing to surround the spots for reinforcements.

Pan Feng is a strange army in Guo Jia's plan, and also an important force to wipe out the White Horse Yicong.

"I'll wait for orders!"

After hearing Guo Jia's order, the three of Zhu Ling took orders one after another without any objection.

Guo Jia is a big celebrity next to the lord, and he can be regarded as the number one military adviser. Naturally, no one will refute Guo Jia's decision in person.

In addition, Guo Jia's decision-making is perfect, it is completely a calm battle plan, and Xu Rong and Zhu Ling agree very much.

And Lu Zhishen are both calm generals, so Guo Jia's decision won the hearts of the three of them.

Guo Jia chuckled softly in his heart, thinking: "I just don't know if General Qi Jiguang under the lord's command can capture Lelang City."

"The fall of Le Lang City means that Gongsun Zan's army has been completely cut off from the rear. At that time, he can only counterattack."

"In a field battle, if the Jizhou army wants to kill Gongsun Zan, it will need to consume at least eight or nine thousand troops. But it is still worthwhile to switch to a stable Youzhou."

Guo Jia's smile made Zhu Ling's three generals more confident, although they didn't know about Qi Jiguang.

On the contrary, Gongsun Zan of Ji County became more and more anxious. He was writing letters to Gongsun Du and other grassland aliens himself.

"You send someone to deliver these letters immediately! Zou Dan, you go and deliver the letters to Gongsun Du yourself, and let him come to support me."

"No matter how loud Gongsun Du is, you must first agree to Gongsun Du's request."

"Even if he wants me to give up half of Youzhou, that's okay! Anyway, I want to see Gongsundu's army within a month!"

Gongsun Zan handed over the letter to the messengers, telling them to send the letter immediately and began to ask for help.
