Chapter 860 The Battle of Unification (19)
While Wei Jun was in a stalemate, the rest of the Xixia soldiers and horses made no new progress.
At this time, Liu Bei also returned to Liaodong to regroup.
When the troops of Liao and Han were resting, Liu Bei also summoned Tian Feng to discuss future countermeasures.
"Yuan Hao, now that our army has withdrawn from Qingzhou, the fall of Qingzhou has become a foregone conclusion. How should we act in the future?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that our army will only use the navy mainly for raids and harassment in the future."
After hearing this answer, Liu Bei was not very satisfied.
After Tian Feng noticed Liu Bei's thoughts, he immediately added: "Your Majesty, the Xixia army is now at its peak. If we attack head-on now, it will be nothing more than an egg hitting a stone. For the current plan, we can only pray that the Wei army can hold on for a while longer. Otherwise,
, Iām afraid the unification of Xixia is a foregone conclusion.ā
Liu Bei sighed helplessly upon hearing this.
"Yuan Hao, can we just sit back and watch?"
"Your Majesty, our army will either focus on harassment or stay put. Otherwise, we have no third option. Even if we want to help Cao Cao, with the national strength of Liao and Han, we cannot do anything for Cao Mengde."
Turn the situation around.ā
After Liu Bei carefully considered it, he finally reluctantly agreed to Tian Feng's suggestion.
Immediately, Liu Bei summoned Guan Yu and assigned him a task.
"Yun Chang, now the Xixia soldiers and horses are marching northward in large numbers, and the Northern Wei soldiers and horses are also losing consecutive battles. I plan to let you lead the navy to harass the Xixia soldiers and horses."
Guan Yu immediately understood what Liu Bei was thinking.
"Your Majesty, if it is just harassment, our army will no longer be able to invade the Central Plains."
"Yun Chang, it's difficult for us to reverse this situation now. Just act as planned!"
Guan Yu was helpless when he heard this. After all, the national power of Liao and Han was very small.
In the end, Guan Yu accepted the order and left.
Liu Bei stayed in Liaodong to observe the changes.
Then turn to Yang Su's side.
After Yang Su led the Xixia navy and navy into the Bohai Sea, they quickly attacked Bohai County.
Soon, the Xixia navy and navy captured a port in Bohai County and began to march inland.
Not long after, Yang Su led his troops to capture Yangxin County.
At this time, people who escaped from Yangxin County also passed the news on.
Yang Su, on his side, sent his generals to begin an all-out attack on Bohai County.
As the Xixia soldiers and horses began to attack Bohai County in an all-out manner, the Bohai prefect immediately sent an order to Nanpi County to gather troops.
At the same time, the governor of Bohai also sent soldiers to ask for help.
Since then, the wars in the Northern Wei and Xixia entered a white-hot stage.
Bohai County, Dong County, and Wei County became the main battlefields for fierce fighting between the two sides.
Not long after, Li Jing also led 70,000 cavalry under his command to Daijun, Youzhou.
As Li Jing's troops arrived outside Youzhou Pass, the Northern Wei defenders inside the pass were also shocked. They did not expect that the Xixia cavalry actually came from the grassland to Daijun.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers guarding the gate quickly reported the enemy's situation to their commander-in-chief.
When General Qian Zhao of the Northern Wei Dynasty guarding the border learned that the Xixia cavalry had arrived outside the border, he immediately sent an order to start mobilizing nearby troops.
At this time, Li Jing's troops were temporarily stationed outside the pass.
For a time, the all-out war between the Northern Wei and Xixia finally broke out.
At this time, Cao Cao, who was guarding Yecheng, also received urgent letters from Qingzhou and Bohai.
Suddenly learning that Qingzhou and most of Bohai had fallen, Cao Cao felt very helpless. After all, Xixia had many soldiers and generals, and the Northern Wei had lost many capable generals due to consecutive defeats.
After Cao Cao calmed down, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the situation.
When the ministers learned that Qingzhou and most of Bohai had fallen, they were also shocked.
Upon seeing this, Cao Cao immediately asked: "My dear friends, the eastern defense line is now in danger. How should I solve it?"
Hearing Cao Cao's question, the officials were silent for a while.
"Can I just watch the Xixia soldiers and horses march into the hinterland of Jizhou?"
At this time, Xun You said: "Your Majesty, Xixia is now fully invaded. After all, our army does not have the advantage in strength. I think that in order to solve the problem of the eastern defense line, we can only ask Liu Bei to dispatch the Liaodong army to help."
Hearing Xun You's proposal, Cao Cao felt a little unhappy, because letting the Liao and Han troops enter was just as the saying goes: it is easy to invite gods, but difficult to send them away.
Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao was worried, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Xun said is the most ideal choice. Qingzhou has fallen. If we don't look for foreign aid, the Xixia army will definitely attack the hinterland of Jizhou. Once this happens, our army will
It would be meaningless to hold on to Yecheng."
Cao Cao thought carefully and then said helplessly: "It seems that this is the only way."
Afterwards, Cao Cao sent a messenger to Liaodong.
At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Xixia and Northern Wei continued to fight.
At this time, Guan Yu led the Liao-Han navy to appear in the Bohai Sea.
After Guan Yu led his troops to inspect a few times, he soon discovered the ships transporting grain and grass to the Xixia army.
Immediately, Guan Yu led his troops to attack Xixia's grain-carrying ships.
Not long after, Yang Su, who was attacking Bohai, learned that the grain transport team had been attacked.
As soon as he got the news, Yang Su guessed that it was the Liao-Han Navy that was responsible, because now the only one with ships was Liu Bei.
Although he knew it was the Liao-Han navy that was responsible, Yang Su did not send troops to attack immediately because all his troops had been sent out.
Despite this, Yang Su still sent someone to convey the order and summon his subordinates.
As Yang Su's subordinates received the news, they quickly led their troops back.
Soon, various ministries under Yang Su's command gathered in Gaocheng County.
When Yang Su learned that his generals had rushed back, he immediately sent an order for them to gather.
When all the generals gathered in front of Yang Su, Yang Su also informed them of the attack on the grain transport team.
After listening to what Yang Su said, Zhou Yu immediately said: "General Yang, I'm afraid the Liao-Han navy did this."
"I think so too, but I didn't expect that the Liao-Han Navy would have the guts to come out. It seems that if we don't completely defeat the Liao-Han Navy, our army's rear may not be peaceful."
After hearing what Yang Su said, all the generals agreed very much.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Su said: "So this is why I called everyone back. I wonder which general is willing to go to sea to face the Liao-Han Navy?"
Hearing what Yang Su said, Liu Rengui quickly stood up to protect his children.
Then, the second general asked Yang Su for orders to fight against the Liao-Han navy.
Upon seeing this, Yang Su immediately agreed, because the two of them led a navy that could actually go to sea.
Following Liu Rengui, Laihuer took the order, and Yang Su immediately asked them to go to sea with his 20,000-strong navy.
Yang Su, on the other hand, was temporarily stationed in Gaocheng County.
Liu Rengui, after receiving the order to protect his children, immediately led the Xixia naval soldiers to go to sea.
After the two of them went to sea, they immediately started looking for Guan Yu's tribe.
At this time, Guan Yu didn't know that he had been targeted by the Xixia Navy.
After Liu Rengui's troops searched the Bohai Sea for several days, they finally encountered the Liao-Han navy led by Guan Yu.
When Guan Yu saw a warship appearing on the sea, he immediately reacted.
"It seems that these warships are the Xixia Navy. Today I will defeat you in one fell swoop."
After sighing with emotion, Guan Yu began to command his navy to form an array.
