There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

On the way back to Beihai, scouts reported that the territory east of Linzi City, including Donglai County, was attacked by Jinling soldiers who appeared from nowhere, and all fell. The coach in charge of guarding Linzi City, Qiu Yu, was killed. Tai Shici, a general of the Jinling Army, killed a large area of ​​Qingzhou, and Linzi City was in a hurry.

Upon hearing the news, Erlu's head went dizzy, and he almost vomited blood and died without back-to-back!

What's the situation?

Dongnai County lost?

How did those Jinling soldiers get there?

Erlu didn't dare to delay any longer, and they didn't have time to clean up Yu Fuluo, so the two hurriedly changed their schedule and rushed to Linzi City like crazy.

Day and night, Erlu kept urging the soldiers and horses to march, without stopping for a moment.

In this way, although the speed of marching was accelerated, Erlu and the soldiers under his command were exhausted. They never closed their eyes day and night, and their fatigue level can be imagined.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Linzi City, and about a hundred miles away from Linzi City, Erlu finally ran into the encirclement of pottery merchants.

"Boom boom boom!"

The encircled area was the junction of a dense forest and a valley. The sound of dense drums sounded from the dense forest, waking up the tired and drowsy Yuan Jun. Everyone hurriedly took precautions and looked around in horror.

Countless Jinling soldiers rushed out from all directions, and led by Xu Huang, Qu Yi, Ji Ling, Zang Ba, Li Tong and others, they divided Erlu's troops into several sections.

Erlu's soldiers and horses themselves were exhausted, and now they were suddenly ambushed, and they were almost powerless to fight back. Facing the enemy's premeditated division, Yuan Jun could not come up with an effective way to obstruct the Jinling Army.

The Jinling army was strong, and when they were young, they used one square formation after another as the center, desperately attacking the enemy, and soon killed Yuan Jun in pieces.

The leaders, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, fled around in a panic. The two were in a panic, but they still tried to find a chance to escape from the chaos and ascend to heaven.

It's a pity that someone has already targeted the two of them.

Huang Zhong, who was holding a golden saber, met the two of them head-on from a slanted stab.

Huang Zhong still had a friendly expression on his face, and said with a smile: "The two generals Lu, old man Huang Zhong from Nanyang, recently served as generals under the prime minister's command. He has received great favors but has not made any meritorious service. Today, he wants to borrow something from the two generals and deliver it to you. In front of the prime minister, I thought it was a gift to be close, so please be sure to fulfill both of you."

Lu Xiang was a little frightened at the moment, and he hurriedly said to Lu Kuang: "Brother, this old man asked us to borrow something, should we borrow it or not?"

"Excuse me! You are stupid! What he wants is our brother's head!"

Huang Zhong laughed, swung his knife horizontally, and praised: "Smart!"

Chapter 665 Yuan Shao's Panic

A hundred miles away from the northwest of Linzi City, the soldiers of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were intercepted and killed by the ambush soldiers arranged by the pottery merchants. After running for a day and a night, the fighting spirit and ability of the two Lu soldiers had dropped to the lowest level. Gu, most of the soldiers were exhausted and had no fighting spirit.

On the mountain not far away, the pottery merchant fiddled with his right hand left and right while watching his side gradually gain the initiative.

The potter feels that he has developed some rotten problems recently. For some reason, the left and right hands always have to play with something from time to time. No matter what they are playing with, they can't let their hands be idle.

The potter himself diagnosed that it was due to excessive mental stress, and the slight obsessive-compulsive disorder caused by it was like a small problem that could not sleep without counting money. Although it was a disease, it did not need to be treated.

Seeing his teacher's two hands kneading back and forth, he was quite upset, Zhuge Liang behind the potter took the initiative to pass the white feather fan to him, and said, "Teacher, why don't you encourage this?"

The potter looked back in surprise, and said, "Didn't I give this to you?"

Zhuge Liang smiled shyly: "Didn't the teacher tell me that back then? People will recognize this thing after more than 2000 years."

Pottery: ""

After taking Zhuge Liang's white feather fan, after fanning it a few times, the potter suddenly said: "Kong Ming, you said that after this battle, we occupied Beihai County, Donglai County and Linzi City, and the small half of Qingzhou is in our Under the control of the army, how will Yuan Shao react?"

Zhuge Liang didn't have a white feather fan in his hand, and he was not used to it for a while. He had nowhere to put his hands, and finally put them on both sides of his body.

He pondered for a while, and then answered the pottery merchant: "After taking Erlu, go back and rescue Mr. Guo. After everything is settled, it will already be winter according to the time. Most of our army is southern soldiers. It is not conducive to fighting in the severe cold, so we can only stay in the city for a while, wait for the next spring, and then compete with Yuan Shao."

The potter nodded and said: "Our army can only adopt a defensive attitude this winter, but what I asked you just now was Yuan Shao's reaction, and you haven't said that yet."

"Ah..." Zhuge Liang frowned and pondered for a while, before he said slowly: "According to common sense, Yuan Shao should divide his troops quickly, attack our city by force, and seize the initiative on the eastern front, so as not to face the enemy three times in the future."

The pottery merchant handed back the white feather fan in his hand to Zhuge Liang, and then said with a smile: "According to normal principles, it is true that we should seize the time to attack. If it were Cao Cao, he would definitely ignore the severe cold, and it would cost him much effort and loss." They drove us out of Qingzhou, but Yuan Shao was different."

Zhuge Liang wondered, "What's the difference between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao?"

The pottery merchant patiently explained to Zhuge Liang: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are similar in essence. They are both heroes in the world, but they are a bit worse in temperament, especially as Yuan Shao has grown older these years, and the battle of Guandu He was quite cautious in doing things, and now that the situation has changed suddenly, the first thing he thinks about is not to restore the situation, but how to stabilize the situation, or to delay the time."

Zhuge Liang didn't quite understand the meaning of Tao Shang's words, he swung the white feather fan in his hand again, thought carefully, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that Yuan Shao will send someone to negotiate peace with us?"

Just as the two of them were talking, Huang Zhong, whose face was drenched in blood, laughed loudly, stepped up the hillside, threw two heads in front of the potter and Zhuge Liang, and said, "Prime Minister, the event is settled!"

The potter looked down and said, "These two are the heads of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang?"

Huang Zhong nodded vigorously and said: "Exactly! Thanks to the prime minister's ingenious plan, Yuan's army has been completely defeated. The old man killed Er Lu with his own hands, and sent their heads to the prime minister."

The potter said with emotion: "General Huang has worked hard, and with the head of Erlu, the crisis in Linzi City will naturally be resolved."

Liyang, the barracks of Yuan Shao's army.

On the Qingzhou battlefield in the east, the potters designed to seize the territory of the two counties of Qingzhou, and on the Jizhou side, Yuan Shao has really been busy recently.

Cao Cao and Tao Sheng of the Black Mountain Army launched two attacks on him at the same time. Zhong Yao of Luoyang joined forces with the generals in Guanzhong to cooperate with the Black Mountain Army to fight Yuan Tan and Gao Gan in Bingzhou, while Yuan Shao commanded the generals of Jizhou to fight Cao Cao in Liyang.

Yuan Shao learned the lesson of the last battle of Guandu, instead of being arrogant, he confronted Cao Cao with a more cautious heart.

Yuan Shao himself has changed, and the combat power of Yuan Jun in Hebei has risen in a straight line. Even in the face of the generals in Guanzhong, Cao Cao, and the three-way army of the Black Mountain Army, Yuan Jun still has dealings with them, and faintly returns. gain the upper hand.

Winter is about to begin, according to Tian Feng and Ju Shou's calculations, the fierce fighting between the two sides lasts for at most one month before turning into a dormant period.

Yuan Shao's nerves had been tense until now, and he finally settled down.

It's a pity that before Yuan Shao was comfortable, the scout responsible for inquiring about news from the east brought the news to Yuan Shao's tent.

At that time, Yuan Shao was discussing the strategy to deal with the Black Mountain Army with a group of advisers under his command, and when he heard the news, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Beihai County, Donglai County, Linzi City lost?

The well-arranged previous camps in Beihai County have been lost?

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were killed, and their heads were taken by potters to solve the crisis in Beihai, and the soldiers and horses were beaten to pieces by the Jinling army in panic?

Hearing these news, Yuan Shao suddenly felt dizzy.

There are so many prefectures and counties in Hebei, the loss of two counties will not have much impact on Yuan Shao in terms of land, but the scary thing is that after this point, pottery merchants will take root in Hebei, threatening him all the time !

Yuan Shao's legs went limp, and he sat on the ground with a "plop".

Tian Feng hurried forward and said to Yuan Shao: "Don't be alarmed, General. Although the pottery merchants have entered Qingzhou, the southern soldiers are not resistant to the severe cold. Right now, the two counties have just fallen, and the pottery merchants have yet to gain a foothold. At the same time, quickly send troops to counterattack Beihai and Donglai, expel the pottery merchants, and stick to it again, it is expected that there will be no serious problems."

Yuan Shao stared straight ahead, and shook his head after a long while: "This matter won't work, not to mention the disadvantages of fighting and attacking the city in winter, this time Tao brought my unworthy niece and a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, His determination to attack the city is already firm, and Cao Cao and the Heishan Army have not retreated, once my attention is diverted to the east, which gives Cao A an opportunity to hide, Jizhou will not be guaranteed, and such a risky method is not feasible."
