Chapter 540: distance meter
The war in the south was in full swing, but Li Yunfei took a hundred thousand troops all the way to the north, as if no one was there. But even if most of the cities he encountered looked down at the wind and fled, Li Yunfei still advanced slowly, only advancing thirty miles a day, never taking the risk of making a surprise attack.
It is said that the Thirty-Six went straight to Yuan Mansion after winning Ye City successfully. At the beginning, Hu Yi shouted that he would bring the legendary Zhen Mi back to his lord. Now he is fortunate enough to take this Ye City. , It is necessary to promise this brother Tiger Endless. However, the Yuan family did not see any Zhen Mi, and even a member of the Yuan family had long since disappeared.
Only a few frightened servants were left, and after careful inquiries, they found out that the Yuan family had already moved to Buyang after Hu Yi captured Puyang. Can only give up.
He left a subordinate general and more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, but he took more than 1,000 troops to catch up with Li Yunfei's camp to return to life. The other troops that were sent out to capture the city were also quite successful. After capturing the city, some troops were left to defend the city, but the follow-up work was handed over to the professionals who came with the baggage team. All within a month.
In fact, it is well-prepared for the recovery of the four northern states. It has trained a considerable number of officials for more than half a year. The new policy will also be promoted as these officials take over the city. It is easy to grab land, but it is not easy to manage, especially if you want to Well, it is quite difficult.
After Yizhou was successfully won, Li Yunfei only rested for a few days, arranged some defenses, appointed some trustworthy officials to lead the defenders, and then continued not to advance in the northeast direction. In order to ensure the safety of logistical support, there was no If you win a county, you will clear some nearby bandits and rogues, and you will move forward only after you are sure of safety. The speed of the attack is very slow, but it is very safe to hold back.
Lao Jiu, who had been in the south for more than a month, finally returned from the south again, and brought back a lot of important news. Of course, the most important thing is that there are still many things that Li Yunfei needs to make decisions personally.
"...You look so happy, but Xuzhou has won a big victory?" Seeing Lao Jiu's involuntary jubilation after returning from a difficult time, you can basically tell that the overall situation of the war in the south has been settled.
"The main attack is wise, not only the Xuzhou side has won a great victory, but also the Jingzhou side has good news, it can be said that it is a double happiness." Lao Jiu excitedly sent a piece of information, which was very detailed, including the Xuzhou battle and the Jingzhou battle. The detailed process, as well as the detailed process of Jiaozhou Mulai vote...
...
Lao Jiu brought not only various materials, but also several letters for peace, from Gongsun Kang, the third son of Yuan Shao, and Ma Teng, but there was no letter from Cao Cao, and he knew that it was useless.
Because when Lv Bu begged for mercy more than a year ago, he did not release him, but ordered the execution directly, and he also just learned that Lv Bu's wife, Yan Shi, was also killed in the chaos of the city when the city was destroyed. So Miss Lu had a grudge against him for killing his mother and would never let him go.
The most interesting thing is Yuan Shao's three sons' letter of reconciliation, saying that they were completely deceived by Cao Cao when they went south this time.
"...Lao Jiu, find a way to reply to the three Yuan Shao brothers. As long as they can chop off Cao Cao's head, I will let them go."
"My lord, do you really want to let those people go? Those guys are not good things. In the north, the people who attack each other in order to seize territory are hard to live, and there are millions of people who died because of the attack between them. There are so many sins that they have done, and it is enough to die a hundred times." Lao Jiu, who came from the folks, has no sympathy for the so-called four generations and three princes.
"...How stupid, when you send a letter, why do you send it so accurately?" I thought Lao Jiu would take back what he meant, but he didn't expect that this guy had to express it himself, so he could only explain it.
"My lord is wise!"
"What is wise, it's just a conspiracy to kill with a knife. In fact, the three sons of Yuan Shao can't be said to be bad. They are far worse than Cao Cao. This time, we can't let that Cao Cao run away."
"I can't run, the surrounding water can't get through, even a bird will fly out... My lord, what about Ma Teng and Gongsun Kang's letter of reconciliation?"
Those two guys also wanted to send a batch of property and money to Li Yunfei to let them go back to their own territory, which is of course impossible.
"Now that they are no longer qualified to negotiate conditions, let them surrender unconditionally, and I can spare their lives!"
"No! And Zhuge Liang made a promise to Zhang Jin, did the lord agree?"
"It's just a vacant post, just give it to him. As for whether he can be released to become an official, he has to pass the assessment."
"Understood, subordinates will do it now."
The information was written quickly and sent out by the flying pigeons that had just been brought from all over the world. Lao Jiu also stayed in Yizhou to run his intelligence department and deal with some people with ulterior motives, while Li Yunfei took the rest and supplemented ten. Yu Wan's army continued north to Youzhou and went straight to Cao Cao's base camp. In fact, Youzhou was not entirely Cao Cao's world and part of it was in Yuan Xi's hands.
Originally, when Yuan Shao died, Yuan Xi was allocated the land of Youzhou. At first, Cao Cao borrowed a small place to raise troops. The main purpose was to let Cao Cao block his two brothers from attacking his territory. It's just that after raising tigers for a few months, more than half of the site was unknowingly taken over by Cao Cao...
...
The army set off and continued all the way to the north. Almost all the cities encountered were looking down at the wind. It was not until the city of Youbeiping (now a city between Beijing and Tianjin) that they really met the people who were defending the city, but it was Cao Jun, but they were There is no way to go back, and if you go back, you can only run outside the customs. However, Li Yunfei was a little surprised by one of the generals defending the city. One of them turned out to be Zhang Liao, an old subordinate.
It really makes people feel different in life. Zhang Liao has not had a good life since he joined Cao Cao. Although he can still trust him, but if Lu Bu is not dead, it is impossible for Cao Cao to completely trust him. Over the years, although Cao Cao's strength has recovered somewhat, after all, it can't compare to Li Yunfei's leaps and bounds.
Gao Shun, who was not re-used in the past, is now an official worshiper of the former general, and the Liu Zhang, Zhang and Lu allied forces who led a 200,000-strong army all the way to the west were defeated. And now Zhang Liao is still only a partial general and defending the city, in fact, he is only the deputy of Xiahou Dun...
Seeing this situation After thinking for a while, Li Yunfei finally decided to use the alienation strategy. Although it would be a bit of a loss, if Cao Jun was to defend, the 100,000 army he brought with him would attack, although he would take advantage of the explosion. Arrow Zhili can also take the city, but the fire at the city gate will bring disaster to Chiyu. Under a large-scale siege, many innocent people will definitely die, so it is better to use a trick to cause chaos within the defenders first.
In the middle of the night in the middle of the night, a group of arrows, carrying letters, shot directly onto the tower, not to persuade him to surrender, but to be at home with his former subordinate, Lala.
Of course, there are also some letters to Yuan Xi's subordinates, because Yuan Xi's subordinates who did not want to surrender this time have already brought their remaining troops here to join Cao's army and use the strong city to resist, so I also gave them to them. Sent a batch of letters, the content is very obscure, but I have revealed some information, you can probably guess that Yuan Xi is going to rely on himself, Cao Cao is about to die, etc... After finishing things, I went back to sleep and went back to sleep. .
The seeds have already been planted, and you only need to wait for a while, and you will have unexpected harvests. Anyway, a small port dozens of miles away has been firmly occupied, and ships can land directly, and logistical resources are continuously delivered. It doesn't matter if it takes a while, to do it, you only need to set up camp outside the city to guard against Cao's sneak attack.
