Chapter 608 Information lag(1/2)
Xiakou Military Staff Headquarters:
Qin Qi, Xi Zhong, and Xun You looked at the huge sand table with many small red and white flags on it.
"Lord, Zhang Ren and Yan Zhi's cavalry division captured the Donglai area, and the Lusu Corps captured the Dongwu area.
Two large armies are pressing towards Changyi and the two counties of Beihai. As long as they capture two areas, they will attack Linzi together, and Liu Biao will become a caged bird."
Xi Zhongdao.
Qin Qi nodded. The speed was quite fast. It looked like he would be able to solve Qingzhou in one fell swoop and control the area south of the Yellow River by the end of the year.
"However, neither Changyi nor Beihai is easy to fight. The city walls are high and thick. If you don't want to sacrifice too much, you can only besiege them and consume the food in the city."
Xun You said.
"It seems that there are a large number of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in the area around Beihai. The Lusu Corps let the infantry bombard the city, while the Taishi Ci Cavalry Division cleared out the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army."
Xun You added.
"The Yellow Turban Army entrenched in the Beihai area is very powerful. Liu Biao has always wanted to wipe it out, but he has been unable to do so."
Xi Zhongdao.
"There is a man named Guan Hai among the Yellow Turbans. He is very powerful. None of Liu Biao's generals can resist him. Our cavalry division has Ziyi and is strong enough to resist Guan Hai."
Qin Qi said.
"My Lord, don't let Cao Cao and Guo Jia's troops surround him, block Liu Biao's escape route north, and don't let him cross the Yellow River."
Xi Zhongdao.
Qin Qi shook her head.
"After getting rid of Liu Biao, we will confront Yuan Shao. Lao Cao and Yuan Shao grew up together. I guess Lao Cao is not willing to fight with Yuan Shao.
Let’s not embarrass Old Cao. To deal with Yuan Shao and Jizhou, we have the Gao Shun Corps, the Lu Su Corps, and the Zhao Yun Corps that came out of Liaodong.
It's enough to crush Yuan Shao and can eliminate Yuan Shao in a short time."
Qin Qi said.
"In addition, letting Liu Biao and the others cross the Yellow River and join Yuan Shao will only distract Yuan Shao's strength, not increase it, and it will be beneficial to us."
Qin Qi said.
"Lord, where will Cao Cao's troops be used?"
Xi Zhongdao.
Qin Qi's fist hit Liangzhou's territory hard.
Xi Zhong and Xun You were puzzled as to how Cao Cao's troops could reach Liangzhou with so many princes in between.
Do you want to send troops to attack Chang'an?
It shouldn’t be!
Chang'an is where the little emperor lives. Logically speaking, Qin Qi would not take action easily. Otherwise, when Fatty Dong died, he would have sent troops long ago.
Seeing Xi Zhong, Xun You looked over.
"Boss, don't look at me. I haven't received any news, but it should be almost done."
Qin Qi said.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Come in!"
Qin Qi said.
"My lord, Xu Huang and Tian Feng of Luoyang jointly sent a letter."
Dian Wei Dao.
oh!
Qin Qi took it in his hand, tore it open and examined it, then handed it to Xi Zhong and Xun You for examination.
In the letter, Tian Feng suggested sending troops to capture the young emperor. Even if he could not capture the young emperor, he could seize the opportunity to capture the Hedong area.
He sent someone to deliver a letter, but Xu Huang and Tian Feng's regiment had already sent troops, and it was too late to stop them now.
To be honest, Qin Qi had the Queen Mother in Xiakou City and didn't mind the little emperor Liu Xie very much.
After all, until now, the Xiakou area has not recognized the legitimacy of the little emperor.
Except for Xun Yu, the civil and military officials in the Xiakou area were basically unwilling to welcome the young emperor into the Xiakou area.
Who is not selfish!
Once the little emperor comes to Xiakou, the benefits obtained by the officials will be greatly reduced. Especially since the officials in Xiakou area are not the little emperor's confidants, they will definitely not welcome the little emperor to Xiakou.
The world was conquered by Qin Qi with the officials in Xiakou area, and the officials were unwilling to hand over the great rivers and mountains to the little emperor.
Tian Feng's suggestion completely disrupted the agreement among Xiakou officials.
Once the little emperor is captured and brought to Xiakou, there will definitely be a conflict between the officials in Xiakou area and the officials in the central court around the little emperor.
Think about another dimension, the officials under Lao Cao's tent, who would be jealous of the important officials around the young emperor? They are completely opposite.
The key is that the young emperor is restless, and the officials around him are even more careless, and they often cause chaos in the rear for Lao Cao.
So much so that Lao Cao continued to clean up the people around the little emperor.
From this point of view, it is not that Old Cao is cruel, but that the young emperor is really restless and always causes trouble for Cao Cao.
No one would be happy if Lao Cao retreated from behind at a critical moment.
Relatively speaking, Lao Cao is still pretty good.
If it were placed on the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the little emperor would definitely be defeated.
Qin Qi smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Seeing Xun You, Xi Zhong didn't speak.
Hahaha!
Qin Qi laughed.
"Just pick it up. It's just a few more idle people. What does it matter?"
Qin Qi said.
"My lord, once the little emperor arrives in Xiakou City, the situation will not be as simple as imagined, something will definitely happen."
Xi Zhongdao.
"My lord, be careful! When the time comes, who will have the final say on matters in the Xiakou area? Will my lord be handed over to the little emperor?"
Xun You said.
"Don't worry! No matter who comes to Xiakou, they must be coiled up. I will not allow anyone to interfere in the military affairs.
In matters of government affairs, no one is allowed to dare to cause trouble and affect the Xiakou army's pace of pacifying the world.
The strategic goals we have set will not change because of the arrival of the little emperor, please rest assured."
Qin Qi said.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Come in!"
Qin Qi said.
"Lord, Li Ru sent the Chang'an intelligence he just received?"
Dian Wei Dao.
oh!
"Let Wenyou come in!"
Qin Qi said.
"My lord, I just received information from Chang'an. The young emperor escaped from Chang'an with his important officials and fled toward the east of the river.
In addition, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji could not find the young emperor, so they had internal strife. Zhang Ji and Fan Chou died in the battle.
Their soldiers were annexed by Li Jue and Guo Si. Now Li Jue and Guo Qin are fighting fiercely outside Chang'an City.
The killing was very brutal. Can we send troops to Chang'an? One is to occupy Chang'an, and the other is to kill Li Jue and Guo Si."
Li Rudao.
Qin Qi nodded.
"My lord, Hanzhong General Chen Dao's infantry division can move. Let Chen Dao raise his troops to capture Chang'an and take over the entire Guanzhong area."
Xi Zhongdao.
Qin Qi nodded.
To be continued...
