Fight for hegemony from a desert island

Chapter 512
Although Qingzhou was won, Zhang Taiyi ran away, and the thing Liu Cheng wanted most also ran away with Zhang Taiyi, so Liu Cheng was not in a good mood.

But having said that, in fact, if Liu Cheng really wants to pursue Zhang Taiyi further at this time, it is not impossible.

Although Zhang Taiyi left in a hurry, he also took away the other two keys of the Qinglong treasure chest.

And Liu Cheng happens to have a copy of the [Qinglong Key Map] in his hand. As long as Liu Cheng passes through that map, he can roughly lock Zhang Taiyi's location and track him further.

But after thinking about it again and again, Liu Cheng finally chose not to use this trick.

The main reason is that the situation in Qingzhou at this time is a bit delicate. Liu Chengcheng has grasped Zhang Taiyi's position, and it is impossible for him to spare people to encircle and suppress Zhang Taiyi given his current situation.

The situation in Qingzhou is delicate, not because of any changes on the battlefield.

To be honest, with most of the Yellow Turban army under Liu Cheng's control, the current battle situation in Qingzhou has almost become Liu Cheng's game alone.

In this game, he can play whatever he wants, and with the yellow scarf, he can't make waves at all.

What really made Liu Cheng feel that the situation was delicate was the reaction of the neighbors in Qingzhou.

In fact, since Liu Cheng announced that he would take over Qingzhou, several of Qingzhou's neighbors, Tang from Yanzhou, Daming from Xuzhou, and Dahan from Jizhou, all made corresponding moves.

These three forces have frequently mobilized troops in the past half month, and each has a troop stationed at the junction of Qingzhou.

From this action alone, it is not difficult to see what kind of attitude they have towards Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng's identity is too complicated, he is not only the overlord of the Great Zhou at sea, but also Wang Fugui's nephew and adopted son.

It's fine for such a person to hang overseas alone, if he is allowed to go ashore successfully and set up a banner of the Great Zhou, it will be a big trouble for those Wuhun forces, naturally no one will welcome Liu Cheng to go ashore.

So for Liu Cheng, the real trouble is not Qingzhou at all, but the neighbors near Qingzhou.

Once the news of Liu Cheng's capture of Qinghai City spreads, the three forces of Tang, Ming, and Han will definitely take action.

Under such a situation, Liu Cheng simply didn't have the time to free up his hands to encircle and suppress Zhang Taiyi.

After a single hit, Liu Cheng had no choice but to admit it, and changed hands to Cong Bo to take over Qingzhou, and officially began to deploy Qingzhou.

And when Liu Cheng started to lay out Qingzhou, he was not in a hurry at first.

He knew very well that he still had some time. It would take at least two or three days before the news of Qinghai City's collapse reached the three neighbors.

Before the news of the destruction of Qinghai City spread, those 'neighbors' in Qingzhou would not have acted rashly.

Liu Cheng's conjecture is correct, but it is also wrong.

There is a tacit understanding between the various martial arts forces in the Great Zhou. Under normal circumstances, if the situation in Qingzhou is not critical, the martial arts forces of all parties will not easily enter Qingzhou.

But Liu Cheng's situation this time is very unusual. Liu Cheng somewhat underestimated the vigilance of various forces towards him.

Therefore, almost as soon as his army entered Qingzhou, the armies of all martial arts forces directly marched into Qingzhou.

Not only that, the martial arts forces of all parties dispatched a lot more troops this time, and the lineup of generals is luxurious.

On the other side of Yanzhou, Datang dispatched an army of 15, led by Xue Rengui.

On the Jizhou side, the big man dispatched an army of 17, led by Wei Qing.

Even on Xuzhou's side, Daming dispatched as many as 15 troops, and Xu Da was the commander.

The three parties dispatched a total of 47 troops, and each unit was led by top military generals or commanders. Such a lineup could no longer be described as terrifying.

Although Liu Cheng knew from the very beginning when he was preparing to attack Qingzhou that the opponents he would face in this battle would not be limited to Qingzhou, but when he saw the list of all parties to fight, Liu Cheng was inevitably stunned for a moment.

He never thought that those three families would come up with such a luxurious lineup.

"It seems that the next battle may be a bit difficult."

Although this is what he said, when Liu Cheng was speaking, there was not much unnecessary expression on his face.

Afterwards, Liu Cheng began to get busy.

After Qinghai City was taken, the second stage of Liu Cheng's tactics also began to be implemented.

The [-] warships, which were originally mighty and mighty, were about to land from Donghai County, but they hadn't landed here yet, so they set sail, turned around and left.

Of course, they didn't really leave, but went around from the sea to the port closest to Qinghai City and landed.

Naturally, this move of theirs could not be hidden from the Yellow Turban Army. One could tell at a glance that Liu Cheng was planning to open up the passage from Qinghai City to the port.

However, it is one thing to see it, and another thing to be able to block it.

The Yellow Turban's army does not need Liu Cheng's fleet. It is not too difficult for them to move hundreds of kilometers on the sea surface with the assistance of [Elementary Navigation] [Intermediate Navigation] and other skills.

In one day, they were able to travel from the East China Sea to a designated location more than 200 kilometers away.

The Yellow Turban Army is no good, they are the army, although many of their generals have the skills to speed up the march.

But the effect is not one or two points worse than that of Liu Cheng's fleet. There is no way for them to complete the large-scale transfer of troops in one day.

In addition, the entire Yellow Turban Army was under Liu Cheng's control at this time, so he made two gestures casually and operated secretly, so the Yellow Turban Army could only temporarily send some reinforcements to that port.

All the scripts were under Liu Cheng's direction, and the Yellow Turban Army naturally couldn't afford to make any big waves.

Although the Yellow Turban did complete the reinforcements before Liu Cheng's fleet arrived, those books were of no use.

Liu Cheng's battleship came over, and the remaining four [Shenwei Invincible General] and one [Shenwei General] bombarded that port.

After one or two hundred shells went down, that port was directly defeated. Liu Cheng's fleet took the opportunity to land, and it only took half a day to take down this port without any effort.

The acquisition of this port means that Liu Cheng's army will be able to open up the route from the port to Qinghai City with lightning speed.

Once this route is opened, Liu Cheng's follow-up logistics can be continuously delivered to Qinghai City, and Qinghai City will be built into Liu Cheng's base camp on the Qingzhou battlefield.

Generally speaking, the first battle in Qingzhou was quite perfect when Liu Cheng had all kinds of advantages.

It's just that all of this is just the beginning...
