The spies replied: "There is no movement in Xiaoxian County, the enemy army is all quiet, and the navy and army continue to adopt a conservative strategy, shrinking inside the city and on the other side."

"What does Wang Xiu mean? Let us take Lu County so easily, what on earth is he trying to do?" The victory came too fast and too easy, which made Yuan Huan feel unreal.

As a resourceful person, he learns that this matter is not so simple.

It is a taboo for military strategists to fail to understand the opponent's intentions.

Yuan Shu didn't care about this, and said directly: "Yaoqing, since Lu County has been destroyed and there is no movement on the two wings, let's directly send troops to the east, first sweep Wuyuan and Fuyang and other places, and capture Tao Qian and say."

Yuan Huan said: "My lord, I don't think it's better to rush eastward. It's okay to send a striker to test and move forward. It's better to wait for Pengcheng's reaction, and contact the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, especially the Cao family, and try to win them over. Once attacking Xuzhou, I felt that the atmosphere nearby was a bit weird.

We haven't seen through what Wang Xiu wants to do, so we can't rush forward. "

Yuan Shu frowned. Now that the long snake array has been broken, he still dare not move forward, and he still plays guessing games with Wang Xiu. Isn't that stupid?

However, Yuan Shu listened to Yuan Huan's opinion very much, and said, "Okay, I'll just wait for three days. After three days, if there is no other action, the army will advance to Dan County. As long as we send heavy troops to guard Lu County, even if Wang Xiu and others want to come Take it, surround us in Xuzhou, our army is not afraid of him."

In order to guard against Wang Xiu's move, Yuan Shu ordered Runan to send [-] troops to the east to build their own food roads and back roads.

This coincides with Yuan Huan.

Wuyuan City!

Cao Bao and a group of representatives of the aristocratic families gathered quietly, seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Bao said: "I believe that the one in the west has contacted each family, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay. Now the old man's meaning is obvious. He wants to go all the way to the dark. He doesn't care about our life or death. Why should we call Xuzhou's life or death!"

"That's right, half of the military power is divided among Wang Xiu and others, and there is also Qingzhou's shadow in government affairs. Once the threat from the west is gone, the old man will immediately send Xuzhou to Xu Ding, and then our real hard days will come to an end." coming."

"Although the person in the west has such a reliable statement, he is still a fourth-generation and third-generation man. Everyone has the same fundamental interests. He won Xuzhou, so he must reuse us from Xuzhou!"

"That's right! That's right! If we continue like this, we will be annexed by Qingzhou sooner or later."

Amidst the falling voices, someone suddenly said worriedly: "But can this one in the west really protect Xuzhou? Can he stand firm?

Yuzhou Mountain is in my Xuzhou, and Donghai County, Langya County, and Guangling County are all adjacent to the Yellow River. Who can stop Qingzhou's navy, is it us?It's still the one from the west.

Are we going to move west? "

As soon as this person spoke, everyone was dumbfounded, completely silent and not speaking.

Except for Xiapi Kingdom and Pengcheng Kingdom, the other counties are all close to the sea.

The edge of the Qingzhou navy is still unstoppable.

What's more, Xiapi State and Pengcheng State are also connected by Surabaya and Huai River, so where can they migrate.

"Everyone, this time the people from Guangling County did not come, nor did the people from Langya County. I think their attitude is very obvious." Cao Bao glanced at the crowd, and then said:

"My suggestion is to stand in the team first. Whether Yuan Shuhe Hao or Xu Ding, they are not ideal candidates for us. Let them fight first. In the end, who can really stand in Xuzhou, we are voting with our feet."

"But now the Yijing from the west has captured Lu County, and the next step is to attack us." Cao Bao's thinking is similar to that of everyone else, and they don't want to stand in line, and the world is too chaotic now.

The Chen family who took the initiative to stand in line last time was removed from Xuzhou.

Investment is risky, and you need to be cautious when standing in line.

"What are you afraid of? Wang Xiu and Yan Yan can't stop Yuan Shu, and Xia Houbo can also stop Yuan Shu. If we can tell our army, we can stop him. Yuan Shu wants Wuyuan City, so let him take it?" Cao Bao sneered:

"Yan Yan can retreat strategically, can't we, he goes east, we go north. I believe Yuan Shao is not a fool, so he understands that it is meaningless to fight us."

"This is not bad!"

"Yes! Yes! Let them fight, and we will retreat strategically." Everyone echoed.

Therefore, under Cao Bao's leadership, three days have passed on Yuan Shu's side, and they haven't received any news of the Xuzhou family's offer, and of course they haven't received any news of their refusal.

It was as if the mud had fallen into the sea and nothing had happened at all.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he scolded Cao Bao and others again.

"My lord, this may not be good news. Since Xuzhou's aristocratic family didn't want to join forces, but they didn't refuse. This is a tacit agreement that we take Xuzhou. As long as Dan County is taken down and Tao Qian is captured alive, they will accept it whether they are willing or not. Attach to us." Yuan Huan persuaded optimistically.

"Hmph, we are taking Xuzhou and taking them slowly." Yuan Shu said, "Immediately dispatch troops to destroy Xia Houbo and Yan Yan, and take Wuyuan City."

Soon Ji Ling led the army to kill Xiahoubo in the east.

Xia Houbo resisted step by step with Yan Yan according to the order, and kept retreating eastward, setting up roadblocks along the way, but in the end he withdrew across Zushui and retreated to Liangcheng.

Then Ji Ling sent his troops to the north to take Wuyuan City.

Xia Houbo retreated to Liangcheng, and Ji Ling could not cross the river to the east in this area, otherwise he would be flanked by Jiang Qin from the Downhill Country.

Therefore, Yuan Shu's army must take Wuyuan City first, pass through Donghai County, and attack Dan County from north to south.

In this way, the route of Yuan Shu's army was lengthened again.

Unsurprisingly, Wuyuan City was brought down by Ji Ling with little effort.

Of course, Cao Bao and others waited for Ji Ling to attack for half an hour before retreating.

After all, fake beating is also a technical job, so you have to pretend to be decent, and you can't be too shabby.

Of course Ji Ling didn't go after Cao Bao. He thought it wasn't the first time he had fought someone like Cao Bao, and this guy wasn't worthy of being a warrior.

Every time he ran away obediently without hitting him.

So Bound Yang City is just around the corner, but it is still in the hands of Cao Bao and others, Ji Ling has no interest in beating them at all.

After capturing Wuyuan City, Yuan Shu's army crossed the border of Donghai County, and then diverted eastward to attack Dan County.

Pengcheng!

Wang Xiuxiu was playing chess with others, and when the middle-aged man on the opposite side landed black stones, he sighed, "You lost a piece and a half, and you won again!"

The middle-aged man on the opposite side smiled and said: "Although Shu Zhi lost a half on the chessboard, he won a half on the battlefield. This boring game can be over soon."

"The chessboard is the chessboard, and the battlefield is the battlefield. Before the final moment of the game, who knows who will win or lose?" Wang Xiu shook his head slightly, reached out and picked up the white pieces and put them into the chess box, saying:

"But since Zibu has confidence in this, I think I should be able to win, why don't we complete this most critical step together."

The middle-aged man stood up and clasped his hands in salute: "Your Excellency, please, Zhao Yi also wishes."

Chapter 629 Wang Xiu moved Tao Qian eastward

Known for his talent and learning, Tao Qian admired him and recommended him as a talented person, but Zhang Zhao rejected him.
