Since Yuan Shao is dead and Yuan Shang is not a concern, at the beginning of episode 8 of "Ge Zhaogong Creates Huangtian Again", a plot of the disintegration of the anti-Yuan Shao alliance is staged, and Ge Zhao is the first to fire the first shot.
Tearing up the alliance treaty will cause a loss of credibility, but for those scholar-bureaucrats, how can a Yellow Turban remnant like Ge Zhao have any credibility at all? It is already a negative number, and it will still be a negative number no matter how much it falls.
"As I said before, the yellow turban remnant party government like mine cannot farm, so we cannot allow the warlord government the opportunity to farm, otherwise it will not be able to catch up after the gap widens."
"Since the alliance has been torn up, the target of the attack must also be carefully considered. I think this is a good idea. We must attack Liu Cong's army instead of Han Sui's army."
"In these years of war, the fundamentals of Han Sui's army have not been affected much, and Han Sui's own rule is quite stable, and he can be said to have a strong army."
"On the one hand, Liu Congjun is internally unstable. On the other hand, except for the Yangtze River Delta, the rest of the land in the Central Plains was conquered after repeated tug-of-war. If he can have enough time to digest it, he may be able to improve the strength of his forces. Go to the next level, but obviously I won’t give him this chance.”
After all, Ge Zhaodu belongs to the remnant Yellow Turban government. At this time, his opponents are all warlords. The two sides have different requirements for the territory. As long as Ge Zhaodu's old camp is still there, he can sweep all the way, so he used the Showa method of killing him while he was sick. Method is the best way.
Ge Zhaodu's judgment was not over yet: "And after Liu Cong's army is eliminated, Huang Tian's cause will truly control the south. In the future, there is no need to worry about the retreat during the Northern Expedition."
"Then some people may be worried, what if I don't fight Han Sui but he comes to fight me? Let me tell you, Han Sui will either recuperate or fight Yuan Shang. It is impossible for him to fight me."
"Except for my brief raids over the years, Yuan Shang's basic base has not been affected at all. It can be said that it is already richer than the Central Plains."
"And what about the land I have on hand? Although the area seems larger than that of Hebei, it is land that has been repeatedly sawn and sawed. It is a poisonous pill. Is Han Suijun going to grab this land after he is full? He is not afraid that Yuan Shang will take the opportunity to attack it. Did the river cut off his escape?"
After that, things developed as Ge Zhaodu had judged. After Ge Zhao tore up the alliance and launched an attack on Liu Cong's army, Han Sui's army did not choose to attack Ge Zhao's army, but crossed the Yellow River to launch a final attack on the Yuan family.
It should be said that after crossing the Yellow River, the logistical pressure required by Han Sui's army increased significantly, and the richness of Hebei also gave Yuan Shang the capital to resist, so it is still unclear who will win in the short term.
During this period, a battle broke out between Ge Zhaodu and Liu Cong's army. His Yellow Turban remnant tactics were as disgusting as ever, but they were effective enough. Before Liu Cong's army could digest the recovered or newly conquered land, it was plundered and attacked by Ge Zhaodu, and could only drag The tired body fights again.
But obviously you can't be the only one in the game who disgusts others, and others can't disgust you. King Ge Zhaoge, who has always been disgusted by others, capsized in this attack.
The early offensive was quite smooth. In the spring of 209, the overwhelmed Liu Cong army withdrew his troops from the north bank of the Yangtze River and handed over these cities to Ge Zhaojun.
The strategic purpose of Ge Zhao's poison pill tactics is to win without fighting and force the enemy to behave like Liu Cong, but King Ge's suffering is about to begin.
Not long after Ge Zhao took over these cities, he received bad news from the south. Liu Cong's army actually sent troops to the south bank of the Yangtze River, defeated the useless General Huang Tian and captured Wuling.
In the game "Three Kingdoms", if you click on the real mode on the information interface, for example, Ge Zhao does this in this video for the live broadcast effect. In this way, you will not be able to see territorial changes at any time. It mainly relies on the messengers from all parties to send information to You, you can get the latest news from it.
Therefore, if the territories are far apart, some weird plots will appear. For example, other video owners have a talent selection program. After the Northern Expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, he moved his hometown from Jiaozhi. As a result, when he learned that the local indigenous people rioted and captured Jiaozhi. , half a year has passed.
This is not the worst. There is a video host who chose Liu Yan to start in Shu. After entering the game, he first conquered the south and then went north. As a result, he did not receive taxes from Yunnan for 2 years. He thought it was because the Yunnan governor was separatist and was greedy for money. , but they sent people to investigate and found out that Yunnan had been wiped out by the indigenous riots, and they blocked the news so that they didn't know about it.
Therefore, in Ge Zhaodu's position, he learned the news a few months after Wu Ling was lost, which was faster than the two unlucky brothers above.
You must know that although one is on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the other is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the raised peninsula in the middle of the Yangtze River is occupied by Liu Cong's army, which causes Ge Zhao's information to spread in a large circle to the east.
After Ge Zhao regained Wuling and before he could decide on his next strategy to eliminate Liu Cong's army, he learned another unfortunate news. Xinye on the north bank of the Yangtze River was once again conquered by Liu Cong's army.
Danmu was very happy to see this, and asked mockingly, "What do you think King Ge looks like?"
A god replied below: "Like a dog that is so tired that it sticks out its tongue, but its owner has no idea and continues to throw the flying saucer with great interest."
Ge Zhaodu would not admit that he was a dog chasing a flying saucer, but he also had a similar view: "It's okay if Liu Congjun occupies Xiangyang, and the Yangtze River Fleet is really disgusting. He can run to the south bank or the north bank very quickly, but I will go there once." If I continue like this for a few months, I will be really exhausted.”
Just when Liu Cong was using the Yangtze River to play with Ge Zhao, something even more unfavorable happened. After Han Sui's army ended the war in Hebei, he raised troops and went south to launch an attack on Ge Zhao.
During the years when Ge Zhao and Liu Biao fought, the Hebei battlefield also had its winners and losers. Gongsun Zan, who had only been defeated in the annexes, was now in dire straits. He not only owned Beiping and Xiangping, but also went west to capture Ji and Nanpi. , bringing most of the land in Hebei under its control.
The Yuan family, the former overlord of Hebei, was even more miserable. After Yuan Shang succeeded to the throne, he lost his prestige due to successive defeats. After losing Yecheng and fleeing to Jinyang, he was actually killed by his brother Yuan Tan, who was supposed to be the heir of Yuan Shao according to the patriarchal system. , and then Yuan Tan inherited the Yuan family's status.
After this round of Northern Expedition, Han Sui's army controlled Yecheng and the plains on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then did not continue to go deeper but chose to stop here to protect Tan's army's independent identity and prevent it from being annexed by Gongsun Zan's army. This would prevent Gongsun Zan from unifying Hebei and have a root. The nails are holding the opponent back.
As a result, the war situation in Hebei was temporarily stagnant. After many years of war, Gongsun Zan was unable to continue to expand and had to temporarily stop to recuperate. Han Sui's army could launch an attack on Ge Zhao who was fighting Liu Cong's army after the autumn harvest in 210.
The eighth episode of "Ge Zhaogong Creates Huangtian Again" has come to an end here. Ge Zhaodu expressed his satisfaction. Please appreciate how the wise and wise Ge Zhaogong fought back in desperate situation in the ninth episode.
