Liang Sicheng and Zhaka from Youzhou didn't know what happened at Guangcheng Pass at this time. Naturally, they couldn't predict that under Lin Biao's careful calculation, Cai Hao, who had been entrenched in Jingzhou and was arrogant, would now become a powerful man. The dead souls were killed by the cannon, and all the combat power under his command had fallen apart at this time.
Fifteen thousand people, almost all 300,000 Jingzhou troops were wiped out at Guangcheng Pass. This news will spread like wildfire soon, and will become a topic of discussion in the world for a long time.
From the beginning, when Wang Jianguo led his troops to occupy Xiaopei and regain Xuzhou, to when Lin Zhuang devoted all his efforts to the victory of Guangcheng Pass, to when Liang Sicheng and Zhaka released a large-scale plague in Youzhou.
The three of them each took their own response measures, either actively or passively.
Of course, Qi Zhen was the back-up man lying in ambush in Yizhou, and Lin Biao did not give him much room for his own performance.
While Liang Sicheng and Zhaka were still carrying out the plan of extermination in Youzhou, Wang Jianguo, who was in Xuzhou, had already received a secret order from Luoyang.
It is not accurate to say that it was a secret order, because the letter did not mean to order him, but simply told him what happened in Guangcheng Pass. As for what to do next, it was up to him to decide.
The secret letter was naturally written by Lin Biao.
The first thing Lin Biao did when he returned to Luoyang City was to tell Wang Jianguo the news about Dading in Jingzhou.
In fact, what Lin Biao wanted to say was very simple, and could be summed up in just one sentence.
The South has been decided, don't have any worries.
On the day he received this letter, Wang Jianguo called Qin Feng, Zhao Yu, Mi Fang, Zang Ba and other civil and military officials in Xuzhou to discuss the strategy of marching.
You must know that since Xuzhou stabilized, both internal affairs and military affairs have been kept in order due to the efforts of several officials. Now Xuzhou is enjoying peace and prosperity.
From the perspective of military strength alone, Xuzhou currently has the most abundant troops and horses. In the world, only the Youzhou Army after the combined army can compare with it.
No matter which aspect you look at it, Wang Jianguo has no reason to ignore this situation.
After capturing Xiaopei and occupying Xuzhou, his immediate task was to further compress Youzhou's defense line, and use the large number of soldiers at his hand and Xuzhou's geographical location to find a way to share the pressure for Lin Biao in Luoyang.
The current situation was the best he could imagine.
The fall of Xiaopei had almost no impact on everything that existed in Xuzhou. If we don’t move now, when will we wait?
I haven't heard any news from Jizhou yet, so I have to hurry up here.
The army was assembled within a few days, and according to Wang Jianguo's order, the sword pointed at Qingzhou!
Qingzhou used to be Yuan Shao's base camp. After it was captured by Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, as the governor of Bohai, went south in panic and sought asylum in Xuzhou. According to preliminary inspections, Liu Bei's remaining troops in Qingzhou were not actually sufficient. Most of the troops were He was still leading him to fight against Youzhou.
Therefore, it should not be difficult for Xuzhou to attack Qingzhou like a lion fighting a rabbit.
The facts did not exceed Wang Jianguo's expectations.
In about ten days, the entire Qingzhou was captured defenselessly in front of the majestic Xuzhou Army.
The so-called autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, but that's it.
The war horses supplemented by Qin Feng's pro-army troops from Xuzhou played a decisive role.
As the saying goes, one move can conquer the whole world. This dynamic siege method of encircling a point to reinforce the city and depriving the enemy of all supplies has produced excellent results.
Except for several counties and the Qingzhou Prefecture, which encountered strong resistance, almost no effort was expended. The entire Qingzhou was like a wind and a lingering cloud, completely becoming Wang Jianguo's bag.
Of course, this does not mean that this battle was easy. In fact, most of the soldiers in the Xuzhou Army had never fought like this before, and their physical strength was greatly exhausted.
The siege of Qingzhou City lasted for three days before the enemy took advantage of the flaw that was finally exposed to gain a foothold on the city wall.
This battle was extremely difficult, and Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng secretly gritted their teeth. If they had known it, they should have pulled out a few cannons from Luoyang, how could it have become what it is now?
But in short, the battle was won without any danger.
However, after the battle, Qin Feng and Xuzhou's civil and military forces did not say anything, but Wang Jianguo began to be secretly wary.
The capture of Qingzhou went too smoothly.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, after paying such a price to capture Qingzhou, no matter the right time, the right place, and the right people, they were all on their side at this moment, and there was no reason why they could not win.
But after all, he is a different person from this world. For Wang Jianguo, Qingzhou, which is adjacent to Youzhou, should not be captured so "easily". Just like Liang Sicheng thought in Youzhou City, if it is too simple, it must be has a problem.
Now among the few people in the team, except for Zhaka, who is not willing to use his brain or his brain is not that easy to use, everyone else knows very well that once the game's mission is too simple, then the next step What awaits them must be a not-so-simple follow-up.
But Wang Jianguo didn't know whether this accident would happen in Youzhou or Jizhou.
But like Liang Sicheng, Wang Jianguo also believed that at this time, he must not delay any longer, at least, not give the other party any time and opportunity to breathe or prepare.
So when Qingzhou still had a weak foothold, he opposed all opinions and insisted on dividing his troops into two groups, one of which was directly towards the northern line of Qingzhou, which was the border of Youzhou.
The other army advanced straight to the west and rushed towards Jizhou.
Neither Mi Fang nor Zhao Yu, not even Zang Ba, a warrior, understood why Wang Jianguo was so eager for quick success.
Only one person chose to support his approach unconditionally.
This person is Qin Feng.
In countless battles in the past, Wang Jianguo and he had accumulated a considerable degree of trust. It can be said that if it were not for Wang Jianguo's existence, the casualties of his soldiers would have been at least doubled!
Since Wang Jianguo thinks so, he naturally has his own considerations, and what he has to do is to give him the greatest support without hesitation.
With the persistence of Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng, it was naturally difficult for others to express any different opinions. After all, both sides were incomparable in terms of status and voice in front of the emperor.
The more important reason is that Zhao Yu is still brooding about what happened in Xuzhou. To put it bluntly, he is doing something wrong.
When the situation was urgent, the civil and military officials who had surrendered in Qingzhou were responsible for cooperating with Zhao Yu and Mi Fang to stabilize the situation in Qingzhou. Zang Ba was responsible for leading a large army northward and westward into Jizhou. The task fell to Qin Feng and Wang Jianguo. On the head.
Thinking about how the two of them had burned, killed and looted all the way in Jizhou, and then heard that Liu Bei was supported by Gongsun Zan and ascended the throne, the two of them, with only 60,000 troops left, were as panicked as a bereaved dog. .
This counterattack on Jizhou will definitely be a bloody return!
Just the night before the army was about to set off, Wang Jianguo received another secret letter.
Still from Luoyang.
Even if this letter was sent at an accelerated speed of 800 miles, it would still take several days. In addition, it would also take at least half a month to send back the news that the army had completely captured Qingzhou.
Judging from Lin Biao's tone in the letter, it seems that he had anticipated this result when he knew that Wang Jianguo had organized an army to capture Qingzhou.
The content in my mind was simpler than last time. The main idea was just one sentence: Someone will attack Jizhou from the west.
The last time he was told that there was no need to worry about Jingzhou, this time he was told that Jizhou would be supported by friendly forces. In other words, whether he decided to directly attack Youzhou to the north or attack Jizhou to the west, Jizhou would not cause him any harm. interference.
I'm afraid Lin Bian never thought that Wang Jianguo would have such courage and choose to send troops in two directions!
Wang Jianguo thought for a while, but still did not change his established strategy.
Since there are friendly forces joining him to attack Jizhou from both sides, at least he doesn't have to worry about this.
I just don’t know which general is leading the troops. Do you know him?
At dawn the next day, the army marched westward.
The Xuzhou army that attacked Qingzhou totaled 300,000, almost wiping out all the combat power of Zang Ba's command. This time, there was no need to worry about Jingzhou when heading north, and the entire Xuzhou army was mobilized and spent a lot of money.
The capture of Qingzhou was neither easy nor easy. In the end, Zang Ba led 100,000 soldiers to the north, while Qin Feng and Wang Jianguo also led 100,000 soldiers to the west.
One hundred thousand people, more or less, if the daily number of defenders in an ordinary city was used, one hundred thousand people would be able to capture any county in the world.
Except for the capital of Jizhou, perhaps no one can stop the advance of the army.
However, Wang Jianguo knew in his heart that apart from these, the off-board moves that the system might design were what he really needed to be wary of.
Previously, Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng had 60,000 cavalry troops. These 60,000 people were just plundering in the middle of the city, using their speed advantage to carry out harassment, not to mention actually attacking the city and plundering the territory. None of the troops have met once.
This time is different.
Whether it was a "simple" occupation like Qingzhou, or a serious loss of vitality like Yuzhou, Wang Jianguo was not prepared at all.
But he desperately hoped it would be more difficult.
Backfired.
Wang Jianguo and Qin Feng, who held an army of 100,000, marched westward at a pace that can be described as overwhelming.
Almost no city can survive an attack by a hundred thousand troops for one day.
This may be the same as the situation in Qingzhou. Most of the soldiers were taken to Youzhou by Liu Bei to fight Gongsun Zan.
But with each passing day, Wang Jianguo's heart became more and more unsettled.
A few days have passed since he occupied Qingzhou, or in other words, more than a month has passed since he led the army to invade Qingzhou. Why is there no movement in Youzhou?
