Chapter 543 Yuan's withdrawal
After hearing Yuan Shao's words, everyone couldn't help but congratulate him.
Who doesn’t know that the Yuan family and Dong Zhuo are enemies of extermination?
Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Yuan’s revenge is halfway.
"Ming Gong, this is a great opportunity! Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Ru is just a scholar. He and the mighty generals of Xiliang can only share the hardships and difficulties, and it is difficult to share the wealth and glory. Our army can take the opportunity to join forces with Bai Bo, Fang Yue, Zhang Yang and other troops to attack Guanzhong. If he can get the emperor and the court, one-third of the world will be decided." Ju Su saw the excellent fighter opportunity and immediately made a statement.
"No, our army has just fought in Jizhou for several months, and the troops are exhausted and we need to be cultivated. We should not move lightly. Besides, Ma Qiang is eyeing him. If our army goes south to fight for Guanzhong, then what should we do if Ma Qiang attacks Mushan?" Xu You immediately opposed.
"Mother Mountain is thousands of miles north and south, and hundreds of miles east and west. If it is a strong attack, it cannot be taken for several months. Zhang Yan can resist it himself. But if we don't go south when we are in chaos in Guanzhong, it will be difficult for us to take Guanzhong." Ju Su said again, "What's more, Ming Gong, even if we cannot take Guanzhong, it will not be unprofitable for us."
Yuan Shao's hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped.
He understood what Ju Su meant.
Although Yuan Shao is nominally in a lot of military and territories, he is mostly franchisees and not subsidiaries.
For example, Baibo Army, Heishan Army, Fang Yue, Zhang Yang and others nominally obey Yuan Shao's orders, but their soldiers and generals were actually supported by themselves. On the one hand, this did reduce Yuan Shao's burden, but on the other hand, it also increased the independence of these people. Yuan Shao can now be said to be strong and weak.
Ju Su meant that it was the best to be able to win Guanzhong. If you can’t win, you can also win Hedong, Hanoi and other places, so that Yuan Shao’s real direct territory could be expanded.
"Mr. Ju said so much!" Yuan Shao could not sit still when he saw the benefits.
"Jizhou was haunted by our army for two months and was unable to compete with me. Now is the time to go south to rescue the emperor! He ordered Han Meng and others to withdraw their troops!" Yuan Shao made the decision.
"promise!"
Seeing that Yuan Shao had made a decision, the others stopped talking.
After Yuan Shao made a decision, he still liked to speak, only Ju Su and Tian Feng, and now there is only one Ju Su left.
"By the way, what progress has been made by the thunders sent by Yan Liang?" Yuan Shao looked at the senior official next to him.
Gao Gan bowed and said, "The skilled craftsmen in the army have been dismantled. The internal structure is very simple. It is just a rope that can be ignited and some black powder. As for the specific formula of this powder, it is still under research, but it has already gained insights."
Yuan Shao nodded and said, "This matter must be accelerated. Ma Qiang won many battles and often relies on this thing. If our army can have this weapon, it is not difficult to destroy Ma Qiang!"
"promise!"
——Jizhou Fushan
"Ming Gong, Huang, Hua, and Zhao San jointly sent a telegram that the Yuan family of Zhongshan has all retreated to the Taihang Mountains, and Yuan Shao gave up!"
Guo Jia handed it to Ma Qiang with the telegram. Ma Qiang took it and looked at it. He felt something was wrong.
"I gave up? Why? In Zhongshan Country, our advantages are not obvious."
"But if Yuan Shao persists, it will be profitable."
Ma Qiang nodded in agreement. If we start from the perspective of interests, it makes sense.
"Since the war is over, let Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other troops return to their garrisons, and then strengthen the border guards, and order the generals to arrange their troops and return to Guangzong to reward merits."
"promise!"
"By the way, how are Cao Cao fighting?"
"Lu Zhi is worthy of being a great master of his generation. He did not withdraw his troops eastward, but retreated southward, forcibly crossing Sishui and moving towards Pengcheng."
"Pengcheng?" Ma Qiang walked to the map strangely. It was very hard to walk along the way. He forced his way across the entire Lu State. Although Lu State is very small, it is also the territory of Yanzhou. What is Lu Zhi going to do?
Ma Qiang walked down this direction and suddenly found that the northwest direction of Pengcheng was Pei County.
!!!
"Cao Cao was half surrounded by Lu Zhi and Liu Bei?" Ma Qiang pointed at several positions and said.
"Ming Gong is wise. If Cao Cao continues to pursue, he will fall into this encirclement. Cao Cao sent too few side troops before and could not keep an eye on Liu Bei. Moreover, Liu Bei and Lu Zhi are masters and apprentices. Liu Bei will never refuse Lu Zhi's military orders, not to mention that Liu Bei is surrounded by Zhang, two powerful generals.
Therefore, if Cao Cao continues to fight, he will either return without success or be defeated!"
Guo Jia's judgment made Ma Qiang feel that the direction of the Xuzhou battle was not right.
If Cao Cao was killed by Lu Zhi and Liu Bei in the front line...will the cute boss Cao not have to wait until Hanzhong to taste the feeling of being chased by Uncle Liu?
Tsk tsk tsk, this plot is so magical.
"Pay attention to the situation in Yanzhou and ask Yan Rou to lead his troops to secretly go to Chiqiu, and then blockade the news from Fanyang, Guantao Line and Yanzhou."
Seeing Ma Qiang's deployment like this, Guo Jia thought about it and asked, "Does Ming Gong think there will be changes in Yanzhou?"
"It's still hard to say, be careful now, leave and take the camp back to Guangzong."
——Guangzong Zhenbei General's Mansion Prison
"Sister Qingcheng, please tell me about it quickly. I know I was wrong. I have been locked up for two months. When will I let me go back?"
Guo Yin complained while eating buns in big mouthfuls.
"You still want to go out. I heard from the people who came back from Fushan that Brother Ma was really angry this time and said he wanted to kill a warning to him."
"Kill..." Guo Yin opened his mouth and the unfinished buns fell out.
"I don't want it~~ Sister Qingcheng~~I'm still young~Don't kill me, wuwu~~ Our Guo family still relies on me to inherit the family line~"
"You Guo family has your brother, you can rest assured about this."
"What am I worried about? Is it the same thing as the one I pass on!"
"It's the same thing for Uncle Guo!"
"I don't care! I don't want to die! Woo woo~~ I obviously won the battle, but this is not as good as not winning at the beginning!"
"I also hope you didn't win!" Outside the prison gate, Ma Qiang's voice suddenly came. Guo Yin and others looked at it and saw Ma Qiang bringing several people in.
"I know I'm back and running here, Qingcheng, you... Besides, when will I say I want to kill him?"
As soon as Ma Qiang returned to the general's mansion, he heard from the people in the mansion that Qingcheng had gone to the prison, so he naturally understood what Qingcheng meant.
These juniors in Osong Village have grown up together since childhood, so naturally they don’t want to see each other suffer.
But this also reminded Ma Qiang that the hills within his group were becoming more and more obvious.
If you don’t want Guo Yin to suffer in jail today, will you not want other people from Dasong Village or Hongxing Camp to be punished in the future?
There are one and two...
"Ah~ I didn't know you're back so soon~" Qingcheng jumped to Ma Qiang, hugged Ma Qiang's hand, blinked his big eyes and kept acting cute to Ma Qiang.
Ma Qiang was shaken by Qingcheng a few times, and he felt that his soul was almost shaken.
It is indeed the east wind and the west wind that can't resist the pillow wind.
