Chapter 578 Naked Conspiracy
Chen Qingzhi led the army away, and Luo Shixin led the cavalry back to the camp early after setting a big fire on Yuan Jun's camp.

Gao Gao vomited blood and fell off the horse, the generals hurriedly helped him up, Gao Gao pushed the crowd away, and cursed: "What are you doing here, put out the fire?"

Looking at the fire that filled the camp, all the soldiers were helpless. The fire had swept across the entire camp, and the fire was raging. What could they do with a fire of this magnitude?When Luo Shixin set fire to it, the Yuan camp was almost empty, and the soldiers were all at the entrance of the main camp. This was not like an ordinary camp robbery. After the soldiers found out, they would rescue the camp while surrounding the enemy to control the fire.Therefore, this kind of camp robbery cannot cause too much lethality.

However, Chen Qingzhi was sure of his high-spirited and irritable character, so he didn't take strict precautions. He asked Luo Shixin to lead the light cavalry to go around, and he himself led the main force to carry sufficient bows and arrows and armor, and dragged the main force of Yuan Jun in front of the main camp.Ask Luo Shixin to set fire to Yuan Jun's camp.

Regardless of whether it can be saved or not, it must be saved. Some Yuan Jun soldiers panicked and went to the nearby rivers to find water sources, regardless of whether there were containers or not, food and grass. , can the grain and grass be brought back.Some took off their clothes and armor to put out the fire, while others shoveled soil with weapons to put out the fire.

In this big camp, there are basically tents and wooden camps. By dawn, the fire was finally extinguished.Rather than saying that the soldiers extinguished it, it was better to say that it was burned naturally. In short, what Gao Gao saw at this moment was a charred black camp. The dozens of bamboo warehouses in front of him that had stockpiled grain and grass had also turned into a scorched mound at this moment.

Gao Ang took a big knife and cut open the mound. Inside were burnt and charred particles. The middle part was slightly better, turning yellowish brown and not burnt black, but it gave off a pungent burnt smell, which was obviously inedible. up.

Gao Ang, Yang Dayan wanted to cry, but now Dazhai was burned and there was no quilt in the camp. The weather in the north in March is still cold, but the day is fine, but at night these soldiers will be too cold to sleep.But the most important thing is food and grass, although Youzhou and Bingzhou don't have extra supplies to support troops and horses, and Yuan Shao doesn't have much food and grass here.

Last year, Liu Bian ransacked the grain market in Jizhou once. Thanks to Cui Hao's support, the food for this expedition was raised by Cui Hao's countless efforts.Destroying Qingzhou will naturally make it back. If it can't be destroyed, it will be a disaster. Now that Gao Gao's vanguard has no food and grass, it can't survive at all. In order to save the [-] soldiers, there is only one way to retreat.

After Chen Qingzhi returned to the camp, after celebrating for a while, he gave Luo Shixin a credit.The generals stood in the camp, Chen Qingzhi said with a smile: "Yuan Jun's camp was burned last night, and their food and grass were destroyed. Now they have no food and grass to support them, and Yuan Shao's main force is still gathering on the plain, and they can't arrive yet. As expected, Gao Ang should retreat!"

Qin Qiong clapped his hands and said happily: "Great, after Gao Ang retired, they will have to raise food and grass for camp tents for a while, which can be delayed for at least half a month. When the rainy season comes and the water level of the giant ocean rises, we can Relying on the navy, intercept Yuan Shao to the west of the Juyang River!"

"In this battle, the situation on our side is stable for the time being, but General Lin's side is probably going to be a fierce battle!" Chen Qingzhi sighed.

"Although General Lin's side does not have the danger of a huge ocean, it has an army of more than 4. In addition, there are a large number of young men and women who help defend the city. This calculation is not less than that of Zhao Kuangyin. Although there is no army like ours, The danger of the huge ocean, but there is also glue, Weishui intercepts it, and it should not be difficult to hold the southern defense line!" Qin Qiong pondered.

Chen Qingzhi said with a wry smile: "Although that is the case, Zhao Kuangyin is not Yuan Shao, and his troops are much more difficult than Zhao Kuangyin's. Your Majesty has already sent a letter, and will send troops to fight against Yuan Shao. I hope he can make contributions as soon as possible to resolve the crisis in Qingzhou. !"

The next day, Gao Ang withdrew his troops, and it is unknown how Yuan Shao will punish him after he returns.Besides, on the defense side of Qingzhou's southern line, it was Zhao Kuangyin who led [-] soldiers and horses to attack Qingzhou Beihai County in Langya County, Xuzhou.

There is also a river on the south line of defense, but it flows from south to north. He didn't want to block Yuan Shao, so he directly intercepted Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses on the opposite side.

The two rivers on the south line are Weishui and Jiaoshui. They originate in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, pass through the Qingzhou Peninsula in the north, and flow into the sea.

Between these two rivers, Lin Renzhao built defenses in Anqiu, Chang'an, Gaomi and other counties.Lin Renzhao's main force was stationed in Gaomi, and other counties put a large number of young and strong, hoarding a large amount of food, grass and luggage for defense, and Zhao Kuangyin's main force did not intend to divide the troops. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were stationed in Langya Dongwu County, and twenty Gaomi County, miles away, faces each other from a distance.

It can be said that Zhao Kuangyin is strong. When he first started to make a fortune, he had 20 soldiers and horses under his command. Later, he recovered Qingzhou soldiers and got 20 young and strong.He also implemented the policy of garrisoning fields. When Zhao Kuangyin occupied Yanzhou, he already had [-] soldiers and horses. Later, he took Yuzhou and won most of Yuan Shao's remnants, and he also picked out [-] soldiers and horses. In recuperation.The [-] soldiers and horses were also swapped with Yanzhou's soldiers and horses, so that Yanzhou's soldiers and horses were in Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao's old troops were placed in Yanzhou.

As for Xuzhou, Zhao Kuangyin took over all of the original [-] soldiers and horses. Cao Bao, who wholeheartedly took refuge in Zhao Kuangyin, was placed by Zhao Kuangyin in Yanzhou as a idler, and he did not end well.

Roughly counting, Zhao Kuangyin has more than 35 soldiers and horses. Among the princes in the world, his strength is second only to Liu Bian.

Most of the [-] soldiers that Zhao Kuangyin attacked Qingzhou were from Yanzhou, and the rest were from Xuzhou.

In Dongwu County, Zhao Kuangyin took the high seat, Chen Gong stood on the left, and Cheng Yu raised food, grass and supplies in the interior of Xuzhou to supply the army.Because there is a Mount Tai between Qingzhou and Yanzhou, the food and grass are not easy to deliver, so Zhao Kuangyin chose to attack Qingzhou from Xuzhou, a place with a flat river.On the right are Xu Chu, Hua Yun, Li Dian, Hou Junji and other generals.As for Yu Jin, Shi Wansui and others are Zhao Guangyi's cronies, guarding Yanzhou, and did not dispatch.

But Cao Bin, Cao Ren and others are guarding Yuzhou to guard against Chang Yuchun.

Holding the letter in his hand, Zhao Kuangyin groaned. Zhao Kuangyin slapped the letter on the table and cursed: "Yuan Shao, a mediocre man, sent [-] vanguards to attack the Qingzhou defense line, but Chen Qingzhi burned them all. Now the [-] troops Back to the plains, his attack on Qingzhou will be postponed again, and he has the nerve to play with me for food!"

"This Yuan Shao is really not good enough to succeed, but not good enough to fail. Didn't he get Cui Hao, why is he still so stupid?" Chen Gong sighed.

"Cui Hao is Cui Hao. Yuan Shao's nature is like this. What can he do if he is stupid and suspicious? I heard that he still listened to rumors and sent Chun Yuqiong to replace Zhang Yan from Heishan. I think there will be another accident on the front line of Taihang Mountain. The fire in his backyard is not far away!" Zhao Kuangyin said with a gloomy face.

"He has no food in Jizhou, and now Chen Qingzhi has burned [-] troops. I don't know if he can persist until Qingzhou is destroyed. Shall we give him the food?" Chen Gong asked, clasping his hands.

"Although he is useless, he is still worth using. Right now, the focus is on destroying Qingzhou. There is no delay. Order my second brother to send Yuan Shao some food and grass to support him in Yanzhou!" Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand helplessly.

"No!" Chen Gong cupped his hands and wrote it down.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Chen Gong and asked: "The military commander also saw Lin Renzhao's defense, is there a way to attack?"

Chen Gong caressed his beard and said: "The one who started Lin Ren was a good general. He set up an indestructible line of defense on the opposite side. In addition to the main force guarding Gaomi, he also deployed a large number of young and strong civilians in other counties. There were cavalry patrolling in the middle. There is a naval army on defense, hoarding food, grass and supplies. If our army splits up and attacks, it will not be able to defeat it in a short time. If our army joins forces to attack a place, he can resist it with his strength."

Zhao Kuangyin said regretfully: "This Lin Renzhao has never shown himself, and he has never shown himself. I didn't expect him to be so powerful. Is there no way to deal with him?"

"It turns out there is not, but this letter from Yuan Shao gave me a solution!" Chen Gong laughed suddenly.

"Oh? What's the strategy of the military adviser?" Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed.

"Chen Qingzhi resisted Yuan Shao in the west, hoping to rely on the obstruction of the Juyang River, and wait for the rainy season to come, and use the navy to delay! And Lin Renzhao here, although he refused to take the lead with the city, but he also has Weishui and glue as a danger! But with Juyang It's different, we are upstream of these two rivers, even if the rainy season comes, there is no threat to us!" Chen Gong clasped his hands and explained.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized: "The military adviser means that Chen Qingzhi can take advantage of the rainy season and the rising water level of the Juyang River to resist Yuan Shao. Our army can also take advantage of the rainy season to cut off the upstream Weishui, the source of the glue, and use water to deal with Lin Renzhao?"

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your lord is wise, you can get through at one point. Lin Renzhao's defensive counties in Anqiu, Chang'an, and Gaomi are all close to Weishui and Glue. In April and May, there will be plenty of rain. Our army only needs to By cutting off the river upstream, the defense line set up by Lin Renzhao can be destroyed without a single soldier!"

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed: "This is a blatant plan. Even if Lin Renzhao learned about our army's intentions and could keep his soldiers and horses, he would not be able to stop the flood. After waiting for two months, he worked so hard to set up The line of defense will break itself.”
