Baima County, East Commandery, is where Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang in the novel.

Lin Fu came with more than [-] elite riders, and soldiers had already reported to the county government.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yan, magistrate of Baima County, immediately ordered the gates of the city to be opened wide and no resistance was allowed.

All the people in the city cheered.

Yanzhou has suffered from Yuan Shu for a long time, and there is opposition from top to bottom.

Lin Fu didn't stay, but just carried out a simple supply, accepted Liu Yan's request to surrender, and appointed him as the prefect of Dongjun.

When the Jizhou army arrives, he will be responsible for supporting the army and comforting the people.

But Lin Fu continued to move forward, all the way to Qufu.

There is no need to ask about Yuan Shu's marching route. It must be the same as Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. He set off from Luoyang, passed through Zhongmou, Kaifeng, Dingtao, Juye, and Jiaxiang, and arrived at Qufu.

Qufu is the hometown of Confucius.

Since Confucianism was abolished, the status of Confucius has been getting higher and higher, and the Kong family in Qufu has naturally risen.

Regardless of whether the emperors of the past dynasties reused it or not, etiquette is indispensable.

Yuan Shu will definitely learn from Liu Xiu, and first went to the former residence of Confucius in Qufu to give wine and meat to the descendants of Confucius.

Then depart from Qufu and arrive at Mount Tai Fenggao, fasting and bathing, increasing the amount of water in the temples of Mount Tai, and then taking Taishan stones for carving.

It is one foot two feet high, three feet wide, and two inches thick. It is called a standing stone, and words are engraved on it to record merit and virtue.

Lin Fu was going to Qufu to intercept Yuan Shu.

Just as Lin Fu and others were rushing towards Qufu, Tian Feng of Qingzhou finally received the order to send it quickly.

Tian Feng immediately recruited Xu Shu, Lu Meng and others to discuss sending troops to Yanzhou.

But before the troops were mobilized, Chen Shi, the prefect of Donglai County, was in a hurry. Gongsun Du came across the sea and invaded Donglai County.

"For the current plan, the soldiers are divided into two groups!"

When Tian Feng said this, he looked up at Lu Meng.

Of course Lu Bu knew what Tian Feng meant.

Now the number of soldiers in Qingzhou is limited, and they are more than enough to protect themselves, but if the soldiers are divided into two groups, it will be a bit stretched.

But Yanzhou had to attack, and no one would be able to bear the responsibility if the opportunity was delayed.

Since we want to attack Yanzhou, it is natural to dispatch the main force.

And Donglai County needs Lu Meng and his newly trained navy to come to the rescue.

"The final general is willing to lead the troops there!"

Without any hesitation, Lu Meng directly agreed.

He knew what kind of enemy he was about to face.

Gongsun Du has lived in Liaodong for a long time, and his navy is mature, crossing the sea and river as if walking on flat ground.

On the other hand, although he stepped up training, the time was too short after all.

Of course Tian Feng also knew what was going on with Lu Meng, but now he had no other choice and could only do this.

"If things can't be done, it's okay to leave Donglai County temporarily, especially in the future."

It is a taboo for military strategists to declare defeat before a battle.

Of course, it is impossible for Tian Feng not to know, but based on a rational analysis, this is almost an inevitable result.

The strengths of the two sides are not at the same level at all, he just reminded Lu Meng not to fold himself there for a momentary victory or defeat.

It's not terrible to lose once, what's terrible is to lose your life to win back a victory.

Tian Feng did not hesitate, and immediately asked Lu Meng to lead the navy to Shunzhi Shuihe all the way west to Donglai County.

And he personally led the Qingzhou army to Yanzhou, leaving Xu Shu to guard Qingzhou.

Although Tian Feng is a civil servant, it is no problem to lead the army.

He still has a god-level skill 'Soldier Impermanence' that has not been unlocked yet.

The war on the Qingzhou side is about to start, and the war on the Guanzhong side is about to end.

Zhang Lu led the army straight to the vicinity of Meiguo County, and the scouts came to report that Zhang Xiu led the army fifty miles east of the city of Meiguo and was rushing over, and they could arrive at night at most.

Zhang Luben took the risk of "Ziwu Valley Strange Conspiracy" just to quickly capture Guanzhong.

Naturally, there are not many supplies of food and grass, so we want to make a quick decision.

Now that Zhang Xiu's army is about to arrive at night, he immediately ordered to attack the city with all his strength, at any cost!

As long as he can occupy the city of Mei before Zhang Xiu arrives, Zhang Xiu can make a trip for nothing.

And once Zhang Xiu withdraws his troops and reveals any flaws, he will lead the army to pursue, and it is bound to defeat the enemy.

"Children Zhang Xiu, you don't know the art of war. Since you know you can't arrive before us, why bother to lead the army!"

Zhang Lu didn't take Zhang Xiu seriously any more.

Now that you know you can't make it in time, you should stand guard in the next city.

The simple truth of waiting for work with leisure is not clear, and it will undoubtedly fail.

How did he know that Zhang Xiu was implementing Zhuge Liang's strategy, deliberately marching slowly to let the opponent attack the city.

Siege warfare is a meat grinder.

Under normal circumstances, the death ratio in siege battles is between 4:1 and 7:1.

After all, the defender has the city, the moat, the urn, and the advantages of being condescending, and this ratio is considered normal.

But that is the proportion of deaths in a step-by-step siege, which is the proportion after gradually weakening the enemy's morale, disturbing the enemy's army, and disrupting the enemy's position.

And because Zhang Lu wanted to capture the city before Zhang Xiu arrived, the death ratio reached a terrifying 10:1.

If one soldier defending the city dies, ten will die on their side.

Under the siege of the city regardless of the cost, the defenders in the city soon couldn't hold on, and opened the east gate to abandon the city and fled.

Chapter 114 This wave is positive and negative teaching

Zhang Lu was not in a hurry to pursue, but just asked the scouts to find out the situation on Zhang Xiu's side.

Once Zhang Xiu withdraws his army, he will take advantage of the victory to pursue.

But what I didn't expect was that when Zhang Xiu learned that the city of Mei was occupied, he didn't retreat, but set up camp on the spot.

Although it felt strange, Zhang Lu didn't notice anything wrong.

Since the other side did not withdraw their troops, he simply ordered the army to enter the city to recuperate. At the same time, he sent Yang Bo and a group of generals to lead a thousand elite troops each to attack Zhang Xiu's camp in turn.

The army here can rest well in the city, and Yang Bai and others can also take turns to rest.

But Zhang Xiu's army don't want to rest.

If you can't sleep well at night, you won't have the energy to fight against yourself the next day.

Zhang Lu's idea is still very good.

The strategy of exhausting the enemy has been tried and tested.

But what he didn't expect was that it wasn't Zhang Xiu who couldn't sleep tonight, but himself.

In the middle of the night, the moon and stars are thin.

Suddenly there was loud shouting in the city, followed by flames, and before Zhang Lu could make any move, the flames rose up, directly into the sky, and could not be stopped at all.

The city was on fire, turning the sky red.

It was Zhuge Liang who made the sulfur flames hidden in the houses of the defenders in the city burn in advance, which made it burn so fast.

Zhang Lu and the others turned pale with fright, their armor and spears were too short for them, they all fled in a panic, rushing out of the city with billowing smoke and blazing fire.

But it is said that Zhuge Liang's ambush soldiers who had ambushed at the small road in advance saw the flames in the city of Meiguo rising to the sky, and immediately led their troops to kill.

Zhang Xiu also immediately swung his army forward, intercepting and killing Zhang Lu's army that was already in chaos.

Yang Bo was ordered to lead his army to harass the enemy.

But suddenly he saw the fire burning in the city behind him, for some reason, he just thought that the enemy army was attacking the city by going around the back.

There was no time to stop Zhang Xiu, and he quickly returned to rescue Zhang Lu.

"My lord, this is a god-given opportunity. Hurry up and lead your troops to chase after him, and Zhang Lu can be captured!"

Hu Che'er remonstrated.

But Zhang Xiu shook his head: "Although I don't know what the military master said, I must listen."

Immediately, he just led his army to pursue in the rear, but he was not in a hurry to take the opportunity to wipe out Zhang Lu's army.

Under the attack from both sides of Zhang Xiu and Xiaolu's ambush army, coupled with the fire in the city, Zhang Lu was defeated.

It was only when Yang Bai and others led five thousand soldiers forward that they managed to stabilize the defeated army.

Although the army was stabilized, the soldiers threw away their helmets and armor and were unarmed, so they could not continue to fight Zhang Xiu.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu led the army to kill, Zhang Lu could only avoid the sharp edge temporarily and retreat towards the direction of the inclined valley.

Zhang Xiu strictly followed Zhuge Liang's strategy and pursued him closely, but he couldn't chase him too hard.

Chasing and killing all the way, Zhang Lu's army is like a bereaved dog.

As long as he paused for a while, Zhang Xiujun immediately chased him up and killed him for a while.

They could only continue to run wildly.

There is really no way, the defeat is under the relentless pursuit of the opponent, and there is no way to stop it.

What's more, when most of them escaped from the fire in the city, they didn't even have time to get their weapons.

They also want to fight hard, but they are bare-handed, so what can they do.

escape!

Run away!

Only with a sufficient distance can the soldiers and horses be rearranged.

Zhang Lu wanted to distance himself, but Zhang Xiu didn't give him a chance at all.

As long as the distance is a little farther, leave and lead the troops to chase and kill.

After killing for a while, he deliberately gave the opponent a chance to breathe and let the opponent continue to escape.

Moreover, it must be controlled so that Zhang Lujun cannot be completely dispersed.

If someone had a bird's-eye view from the sky, they would see that Zhang Xiu seemed to be driving cattle and sheep into the sheepfold.

This is Zhuge Liang's plan to drive sheep into the pen.

It is not so easy to invade Hanzhong in ordinary times, and the dangerous places along the way are guarded by pass defenses.

One man should be guarded by ten thousand men.

But now, Zhang Xiu drove Zhang Lu's army up, and the passes along the way were hard to resist.

You can't massacre your own people.

What's more, Zhang Lu is still in it.

The chaotic army was like water breaking a dike, going upstream, unable to stop at all.

Running all the way, after the initial panic, Zhang Lu has already realized Zhang Xiu's intention.

Even so, he couldn't stop the defeated army, so he could only run away.

But Zhang Lu was not in a hurry.

It is true that a small number of soldiers at the pass cannot stop the rout of the army, but the defenders in the city can.

As long as they reach the vicinity of the city, the army in the city will come out to block Zhang Xiujun for a moment. After rectifying the soldiers and horses, they will fight out together, and the enemy will be defeated!
