"Now Qinghe is empty. If you fight Shi Le here, you will be attacked by the barbarian cavalry."

Liu Yu frowned slightly.

"In this case, it just happened to be Shi Le's intention. When our army's support was ineffective, we had to withdraw our troops, and the barbarians could follow them and continue to attack. Not only would these newly attached people be killed or injured, but it was unknown if our army was not careful and suffered a great defeat."

Xi Jian continued.

"Although Jizhou is large, it can only accommodate one master. As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Your Majesty personally led elite troops to build a army here. Why not personally encourage the bloody courage of the three armies and completely seize Jizhou?"

After listening to Liu Yu, he felt a surge of heroism in his heart.

However, it is one thing to suddenly feel proud of yourself, and the reality is another thing.

"But now, the subsequent food and supplies of our army must be transferred from the rear. If the barbarians keep avoiding fighting and just stumbling on the supplies and food routes, wouldn't that be too passive?"

Today, Qinghe County has a large area of ​​originally fertile land except for a bunch of hungry and cold people.

However, no matter how fertile the land in Qinghe County is, it is impossible to grow food immediately, and local supplies cannot be completed.

The transportation routes along the way are all flat Jizhou Plain, which is most conducive to the maneuvering harassment of the Huhu cavalry.

Soon, the problem Liu Yu faced was not the formation battle, but the harassment and defense of the logistics supply line.

"Haha, Your Majesty, why does our army have to defend Qinghe?" Xi Jian said.

"Hmm? What does this mean?"

"Now Qinghe is almost white. Apart from the tens of thousands of households left in Qingyang, Dongwu and other places, what else can be used for?

"What does Xi Bo mean?"

Liu Xiu asked in confusion.

This is true in the current situation of Qinghe County. If you do not defend Qinghe County, you have to retreat to Pingyuan County, which is only separated from Liu Yu's rear by river water and Ji water. Even if you use food and grass to support it in the rear, it will be safer and more secure.

"Your Majesty, I have just said that the brave ones will win when we meet on a narrow road! Now that our army is bound here, Shi Le will definitely lead a large army to restrain our army when he hears the news."

When Liu Yu heard this, he nodded. He had already guessed this situation.

"I think that at this time, we cannot lead these people in Jizhou to retreat to the plains, nor can we trap this."

After Xi Jian said these words, Liu Yu had roughly guessed what Xi Jian was going to say in his heart.

"Mr. Xi, what you mean is to take the initiative and continue to move forward from Qinghe?"

Xi Jian nodded and said.

"Yes, your Majesty is exactly what I think."

"Yes, Qinghe County is already like this. If you continue to go deeper, the difficulty of the Later Army escorting food and supplies will be even greater. How could it be a better way?"

"No, Your Majesty has thought about it? It's also in Jizhou, why didn't Shi Le's army think about the issue of back-range supplies?" Xi Jian said.

Liu Yu touched his chin and said.

"It must be because many powerful people from Jizhou joined in Shile's army. After these surrendered to Shile, Shile marched in the Hebei area, which was actually marching on his own territory. In addition, our army did not have any extra cavalry to harass him, so we naturally rested on our retreat."

Speaking of this, Liu Yu thought of another point.

"In this way, the transportation line of Shile's army is actually very short, and there is less risk of being attacked and cut off."

After hearing this, Xi Jian nodded and said.

"Yes, it is because Shi Le merged with Jiehu and the thief's power to force the powerful Jizhou to surrender, which not only lacked many worries, but also had sufficient food and manpower."

After listening, Liu Yu suddenly realized.

"I understand. Mr. Xi means that I can also use the army in my hands to make these Jizhou tyrants betray Shi Le and turn to our army, right?"

Xi Jian smiled slightly and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary."

"What's the reason why these powerful people in Jizhou have insulted the reputation of their ancestors, and have turned against the morals of the world, and have to do whatever they want?"

"It's nothing more than fearing Shi Le's cruelty, so he leaned over to become his hawk."

When Liu Yu heard this, he knew that Xi Jian must have a solution to it.

"Since that's the case, what's the trick of Mr. Xi?"

"Now Shile occupies six counties of Ji County, Yangping County, Zhao County, Wei County, Julu and Anping, among which Julu and Anping are both located in the north of Mainland Ze. The places of Zhao and Wei are echoing each other, one south and one north to restrain Qinghe."

"Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty lead the soldiers of the three armies and the scholars of Qinghe to go north to attack Anping and win the Xindu of Anping County!"

"Xindu?" Liu Yu repeated gently.

"Yes, it's Xindu. Xindu is an important town in Jizhou. Although it is no longer as prosperous as the Han Dynasty and is now inferior to Yecheng and Xiangguo, it is located in the center of Jizhou. As long as Xindu is captured, the powerful people of Julu and Anping will definitely surrender. With the power of Your Majesty, who will be willing to serve Hu'er again?"

Liu Yu didn't believe this sentence very much. After all, these powerful people's thoughts are not just a simple Hu and Han division.

However, as long as Xindu is captured, it means that Liu Yu's military deterrence is higher than Shi Le. At least, for the powerful people in Julu and Anping, it is like this.

"The powerful people of Anping and Julu are bound to be able to provide food, grass, supplies and other things for His Majesty's army. In this way, even if Shi Le follows him, he will do nothing."

Liu Yu heard about Xi Jian's plan more and more. If it succeeds, although Shi Le cannot be driven out of Jizhou immediately, it will only be a matter of time before Shi Le is driven out of Jizhou by relying on Julu and Anping counties.

After all, these Jizhou tyrants surrendered to Shi Le simply because they were "Wen Hu was frightened". If Liu Yu defeated the Hu barbarians on the ground in Jizhou, then all the situation would become "Wen Hu was frightened".

"Okay! Mr. Xi's plan is really wonderful." Liu Yu praised.

"However, Liu Yan and Wang Jun, who are close to the north of Anping and Julu counties, have regarded me as enemies. If they are from Shi Le, wouldn't they be trapped in the north and south attack?"

Xi Jian's plan is good for everything, and it is this problem that makes Liu Yu a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty is so worried. Why doesn't Liu Yan, who occupied Changshan County, think of Wang Jun this way?" Xi Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Although these two people are both Jin ministers, they are already enemies. They are too late to guard against each other, so how can they have the spare energy to attack?"

Liu Yu nodded in agreement.
