Chapter one hundred and seventieth battle damage and the army

In the hot summer days, the fires raged into the sky, and the corpses were scattered all over the ground, which was a symbol of the aftermath of the war.

Wei Zhongdao looked at the fire, his eyes flashed, and he already had a plan to deal with Yuan Shao and Shen Pei.

From Tian Feng's mouth, he learned that Yuan Shao's nature is hesitant, and this fatal weakness is similar to Yuan Shao in his impression.

If he could separate the relationship between Yuan Shao and Shen Pei, he would be able to take Chen Tao City as soon as possible and end the battle of Jizhou earlier.

Now that Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have all sent troops, even if he has enough food and grass, it is still very difficult to face the siege of the four major forces at the same time.

The way to solve this problem is to defeat Yuan Shao as soon as possible, so that he can completely control the land of Jizhou.

Only in this way can he reject Gongsun Zan in the north and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu in the south!

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongdao threw his shirt and ordered Zhang Liang: "Ozifang, you should write a letter right away, and go to persuade him to surrender in Zhang He's name."

"And this matter, we have to let Yuan Shao know about it inadvertently, so as to make him suspect the trial.

"Even if Yuan Shao doesn't really believe that Shenbei will surrender, it will alienate him because of it."

"No!" Zhang Liang responded and went down to make arrangements.

Liao Taocheng is a big city in Julu, and it is not easy to take it down. In addition, Yuan Shao still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding it, so a strong attack is not the best strategy.

Zhang Liang knew this, so he agreed with Wei Zhongdao's idea.

Tian Feng, who was on the side, saw that Wei Zhongdao did not shy away from himself, and told the plan in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling moved.

After all, Tian Feng was under the command of Wei Zhongdao, and it is impossible for those who surrendered to know this kind of secret plan.

But Wei Zhongdao didn't hide it from him, which showed that Wei Zhongdao trusted him very much.

As a captive who surrendered, Tian Feng was naturally moved by being treated like this.

It is very popular in this era that a scholar dies for his confidant. In addition, Tian Feng is an upright character. He feels that Wei Zhongdao treats him like this, and he must swear to repay it.

Just as Tian Feng was contemplating, the three generals Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Zhang Shun also returned.

"See Your Majesty!" The three generals saluted at the same time.

"No ceremony~" Wei Zhongdao smiled indifferently and raised his right hand: "Tell me about the damage in this battle.

This battle was played very beautifully, and the time to end was fast, only four hours.

But they hit the north bank in one fell swoop, forcing the court to burn even the Yuan army camp. Wei Zhongdao is very much looking forward to Yuan Shao's loss this time.

Zhao Yun stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the 30,000 Yuan army in this battle only escaped back to 10,000. The remaining 20,000 and 14,000 people died in battle, and more than 5,000 people were captured."

"Our army's casualties are not large, only more than 1,500 casualties.

"It's just that this fire even burned Yuan Jun's granary, and the last commander has already ordered people to rescue him. How much can be rescued?

Zhao Yun's official position is the largest, and he is also the leader of the vanguard, so he is the only one who reports the battle situation.

From Zhao Yun's point of view, the biggest regret in this battle was that he failed to capture Yuan Jun's food and forage.

It would be even more perfect if even the food and grass here were taken down by them.

But Wei Zhongdao waved his hand and smiled when he heard the words: "It doesn't matter, our army has enough food and grass, and there is no shortage of this food and grass!

"Now that the fire is spreading, you go and command the soldiers to put out the fire and transport the infantry of our army from the south bank. 35

"Also, the rear army led by Xue Rengui will probably arrive the day after tomorrow, and our army will rest here on the north bank for three days before heading to Qingtao City.

"No!" The three generals responded, and then acted separately.

Only Liang Shanshui Army and part of Zhao Yun's vanguard army participated in this battle. The central army and part of the vanguard army led by Wei Zhongdao were still on the south bank, led by Zhang He and Gao Lan.

Now that the North Bank has been captured by them, Wei Zhongdao will naturally be stationed on the North Bank to prevent Yuan Jun from making a comeback.

It would take a lot of time to transport tens of thousands of infantrymen. Even if the Liangshan Shui Army had a large ship, it would not take over all the soldiers until night.

For the next two days, Wei Zhongdao waited for Xue Rengui's army to come.

It was not until two days later that Xue Rengui led the rear army and rushed to the north bank with provisions.

Inside the tent, Wei Zhongdao sat in the main seat, and everyone gathered together.

"I have seen the king!" Xue Rengui and Zhang Xiu greeted Wei Zhongdao as soon as they came in.

"No gift, the two generals are escorting food and grass. It's hard to carry the luggage. Come and give me a seat!" Wei Zhongdao waved his hand, and the two soldiers came up on two stools.

"Thank you, King for the seat!" The two generals saluted Wei Zhongdao at the same time.

"Okay, now that the main force of our army has all gathered, the next step is to attack the Tao City!

Wei Zhongdao didn't talk nonsense, he said straight to the point: "Ran Min has already heard news that his Guan Ning cavalry and Han Shizhong's soldiers and horses are only 70 miles away from Chen Tao City, and they can arrive every day.

"Anping County has been captured by them, and now he asks when this king will attack Chentao City.

"This king has not replied to him yet. First, the situation of Chentao City is unknown, and secondly, the walls of Chentao City are tall. This king wants to try to use alienation tactics to alienate Yuan Shao. Our army will take the opportunity to attack the city. It must be done with less effort.99

The meaning of Wei Zhongdao is very simple, know yourself and know your enemy, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liang stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't forget Mr. Yuan Hao, he has stayed in Chentao City and should know the situation there.

Hearing this, Wei Zhongdao's eyes lit up and turned to look at Tian Feng: "I wonder if Mr. Yuan Hao has something to say?"

Tian Feng Shili stood up and replied: "Back to the king, Yuan Shao's troops in Qingtao City were more than you expected.

"Originally, it was Chunyu Qiong and Ju Yi's combined total of 100,000 people. Later, Yuan Shao was worried that he would not have enough troops, so he transferred all the troops from all the prefectures. 35

"At the same time, he is also collecting soldiers locally to replenish his troops!"

"In a short period of time, his original 100,000 troops became 150,000! 99

"Even if 20,000 were wiped out by our army here, there are still 130,000.

Tian Feng has always been under Yuan Shao's command, and he has a clear understanding of Yuan Shao's internal situation, and he has always been against conscription before, but Yuan Shao rejected it.

Hearing this, Wei Zhongdao couldn't help narrowing his eyes, and a flash of killing intent flashed: "This Yuan Shao has some skills!

"In just two months, the county soldiers and the recruits recruited have actually expanded by 50,000."

"Sure enough, being born into a wealthy family is different. Everyone thinks that they can live a good life with him. 95

At the end, Wei Zhongdao couldn't help sighing.

Now Yuan's army has 130,000, and he has 80,000. Adding Ran Min's Guan Ning Cavalry and Han Shizhong's navy, it's only 120,000.

Although the military strength was similar, Yuan Shao was the defender of the city, so many soldiers and horses were not good for the Wei army.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongdao raised his brows: "If that's the case, then please tell Mr. Yuan Hao about Yuan Jun's arrangement in Qingtao City."
