Guo Jia stood up and replied: "My lord, I think I know the reason. After Ruo Rong took office, he embezzled and withheld the money and food from the three counties for his personal desires. Monk. After Tao Qian heard about it, he wanted to transfer him back to the state capital to cut his powers. This person should have heard the news, so he hooked up with Liu Yao and sold the two counties to protect his prosperity."
Hearing this, Xu Ding could only mourn for Tao Qian for a minute. He didn't know who he was, and he didn't know who he was. He directly lost the whole south.
The total number of Xuzhou is only five counties. After adding half of Peiguo, there are barely six counties under the rule. This time, there are no two counties. directly shrunk by half.
This has only just started, and it is really mysterious whether we can stop the 30 troops in the future.
After pondering for a while, Xu Ding said: "Gongyou, go and tell Tao Qian to let him guard the checkpoints in every city and city of Xuzhou with peace of mind. Don't worry, our troops will go to support immediately."
"It's my lord, I'm going to Tan County to reassure Tao Qian." Sun Qian took the order and went down.
Guo Jia said: "My lord, are you going to go in person this time?"
"Of course, if I don't go, do those people from Qingzhou and Yanzhou dare to jump out?" Xu Ding believed that Yuan Shu and Liu Yao were just the first batch to denounce him, and there will be a second batch, a third batch, and then another jump out.
Xuzhou just lured itself to send troops, leaving Donglai, Beihai, and the peninsula empty so that they could take advantage of the opportunity. Those who really want to eat other people are still waiting for the opportunity, and they will pounce when the opportunity comes.
If he sits at home, the opportunity those people are waiting for will never come.
Soon Xu Ding led the army and horses to go out, and the newspapers also followed up, blaming Yuan Shu and Liu Yao for launching an unjust war, starting a fire war, and disregarding the lives of the people.
The world was in an uproar again.
Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou rolled up a battle with more than 50 troops, and how the outcome will make people daydream.
Chapter 387 Liu Ye's Shock
Huaiyin!
Liu Yao's central army had just arrived, and he was in a very happy mood. Because of Liu Ye's plan, Ruo Rong rebelled against Tao and let him take Xiapi and Guangling counties without bloodshed.
At this time, Liu Yao was a little high-spirited and extremely confident, so he asked Liu Ye, "Zi Yang, how long do you think it will take for Zhang Ying to take Qu County?"
Liu Ye said: "My lord! I'm afraid it will take some time. Qu County is the headquarters of the Mi family. The defenses have improved in recent years, and the city is also fortified. It may be difficult to conquer for a while, and we are advancing a bit fast. Tao Qian's reinforcements must rescue Qu County first."
Qu County is not only the money bag of the Mi family, but also the money bag of Tao Qian. It is not as smooth as Xiapi and Guangling to win here.
Without internal support, it is quite difficult to capture a well-defended city at once.
Liu Ye doesn't think Liu Yao's current army has this strength.
Liu Yao also knew his own situation, and he couldn't help but regret: "If we can't take Qu County in a short time, then we can't stop Donglai's navy from rushing to help Xuzhou."
"My lord! Why do you want to block Donglai's reinforcements? With our current strength, it is impossible to completely block and block Donglai's reinforcements. Without Qu County, Xu Ding can still land in Ganyu, and he can also rush to assist Xuzhou. On the contrary, I think we can use On the contrary, we will be a little passive in Xiaqu County." If it wasn't for the huge amount of money and food from the Mo family in Quxian County, Liu Ye would not support Daqu County.
Liu Yao asked, "What does Zi Yang mean?"
Why did Liu Ye pour cold water on it at this time, which is quite disappointing.
If it wasn't for Liu Ye's persuasion, he would have sent troops to attack Tan County directly, behead Tao Qian, the old guy, swallow Xuzhou, and have a good fight with Yuan Shu.
Liu Ye analyzed: "My lord, we are advancing too fast now, Tao Qian's troops are all on our side for defense, and when Xu Ding's reinforcements come, they will fight us first.
My lord, our army strength is only 10, and we are fighting with Xuzhou's heavy troops plus Xu Ding's reinforcements, the outcome is unpredictable.In addition, taking Qu County is easy to disperse our army's strength. "
Because of the swallowing of the two counties of Xiapi and Guangling, Liu Yao's army was the first to directly engage Tao Qian's army.
At this time, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses have not yet advanced to Tan County, and Tao Qian's key firepower strikes will all be concentrated on his side.
In addition, Xu Ding is a fierce man, so he is not easy to deal with. If he fights them alone, he wins less and loses more.
"Then do you want to? Send someone to urge Yuan Shu to hurry up." Liu Yao asked after thinking for a while.
Liu Ye said: "It is very necessary, otherwise, with the insidiousness of the Yuan family, I am afraid that they will deliberately let us and Xuzhou lose and hurt, and then come out to clean up the mess and take advantage of it."
Yuan Shu's character cannot be flattered.
The two were chatting when someone hurried in to report back.
"Report! My lord! General Zhang Ying failed to attack Qu County, and was ambushed by Donglai Navy Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's troops and lost [-] troops. He was defeated and returned to Haixi."
Liu Yao and Liu Ye looked at each other, both a little surprised.
Liu Yao said: "How could this be so? Why did Donglai's navy come so fast!"
The messenger didn't know how to get back, because he didn't know either.
Liu Ye focused his eyes halfway, thought of something, and suddenly realized: "Zhang Ying failed to attack Qu County because of an ambush. It seems that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not return to Weiyuan Island as promised, but hid nearby On the coast of Xuzhou, I heard that two of his disciples had previously built a refugee collection and transfer station on Yuzhou Mountain Island, and I’m afraid there might be tricks in it.”
"Yuzhou Mountain Island!" Liu Ye mentioned this, and Liu Yao suddenly realized.
The reason why Yuzhou Mountain is remembered by everyone is because Xu Ding recruited refugees, and 50 million people lived there.
If you can hide people here, you can naturally hide the army. It's a good idea.
"Hey, General Zhang Ying is in danger!" Liu Ye said suddenly, and Liu Yao asked, "Why is Zi Yang so surprised and deceitful?"
Liu Ye sighed helplessly: "My lord, since Xu Ding has hidden a large number of navy troops in Yuzhou Mountain, they can not only break the siege of Qu County, but also quietly enter the Huai River from the Yellow Sea, attack Huaipu, and block General Zhang Ying. cut off our connection with Zhang Ying, send troops to rescue Huaipu immediately, and at the same time order General Zhang Ying to abandon Haixi and retreat to Huaipu."
Liu Yao was also aware of this big problem, and he was a little confused: "Who will be sent to rescue Huaipu?"
Liu Ye said: "Master! I would like to go."
Liu Yao thought for a while and said, "Okay! Since Zi Yang recommended himself, then you go, I allow you full power over military and political affairs, Zhang Ying and others are under your control, you must guard Huai Pu, there must be absolutely no such things here. lose."
Once Huaipu loses Huaiyin, it will be in danger. Both Huaipu and Huaiyin are important barriers between Xiapi Kingdom and Guangling. If the two places move, the two counties will also undergo major changes.
So Liu Yao immediately ordered Liu Ye to lead the troops out.
Unbeknownst to Liu Yao and Liu Ye, when they set their sights on Huaipu, several large ships stopped in the offshore waters of Hailing County.
Not long after, an army of about [-] troops landed and went to Hailing County.
At the same time, hundreds of large ships were sailing upstream on the big river, heading towards Jiangdu in Guangling County.
Guangling City!
Ruo Rong was lying comfortably on the soft couch, flipping through the Buddhist scriptures for a long time, watching with relish, when he suddenly thought of something, he called out: "Come on! Go and bring that guy Zhao Yu over here."
"Promise!" The subordinates immediately complied, and then brought the former prefect Zhao Yu over.
Ruo Rong lay down on his body and said, "Zhao Yuanda, I'm asking you, whether you will surrender or not, you will still enjoy endless glory and wealth if you serve me as a county magistrate. Don't give your life to that old Tao Qian, he will almost kill himself It's hard to guarantee, Liu Yao won Xiapi and Guangling, and an army of [-] can attack the city of Tan County in an instant, and Tao Qian will be finished by then."
"Hmph! Do you think that Tao Gongzu's defeat will make you feel better? Xuzhou is an ally of Marquis Weihai. When Marquis Marquis leads his troops to kill Liu Yao and defeat him, you, a traitor, will also be decapitated." Zhao Yu sneered.
If you want him to get along with Ruo Rong, it is better to kill him.
"Hahaha! Marquis of Weihai! It turns out that you have been reluctant to give your life to Tao Qian, and you want to go to that guy Xu Ding." Ruo Rong stood up, holding a sword, and circled around Zhao Yu.
