Chapter 699 Strong
Fang Zhiwen held a bidding meeting in Changping, Xincheng!
This kind of meeting has actually been held many times in Fengning County. The reason why this time was held in Changping was to let players see the environment here on the spot, and let them see the plan to layout along the Daliao River, as well as the environment around the Daliao River. The Daliao River is very long and many cities can be built along the river. Fang Zhiwen's new huge territory, including some key roads in Liaodong County, needs to be built on both sides. This is the purpose of this meeting.
"Now there are more places to sell county seats in the Dahan area. Why are you still interested in these remote places? Do you think the prices here are cheaper?"
This player's words were quite provocative, and it was obvious that the other party must be in a competitive guild with them.
"Haha, our guild has limited financial resources, so we have to go to this remote area to find territory. Isn't the Guizhou rich and powerful? Why are we here to participate in the bidding in this remote area? Could it be that the Guizhou has fallen into depravity?"
"Well......"
"Haha, you two are really good at joking. Although Youzhou is located in a remote location, the roads and sea transportation are very convenient. Moreover, Youzhou's political situation is stable and there are no dangerous groups around. Farming and raising horses here are profitable businesses. Look at the county seats in Fengning County, which one is not making a fortune, look at the top guilds in Jiaozhi, Jingnan, which one has no horse farm in Miyun, and which one does not want to open a grain field iron ore in Liaodong?"
"Haha, this brother looks like a torch! I just don't know what the price of this auction will be?"
"This is hard to say. However, it is definitely not worse than the county seat in Central Plains!"
"This is not necessarily true? After all, the location of the Central Plains is much better than here. The development level of prefectures and counties is incomparable, and the level of trade is very different!"
"Hehe, you don't understand this! The Central Plains is not suitable for farming now. If you accidentally get ruined by the war, you see that the one over there is the representative of the Iron Army. Awesome guild is not here to seek horse farms, grain fields, and iron ore? From this we can see that the territory of the Central Plains is important. But the territory here must not be missing, especially the guilds that have requirements for cavalry and war horses."
"So that's it, I've been taught!"
Although everyone had their own guesses before the auction, the actual bidding results were slightly higher than everyone expected, because Fang Zhiwen released only eight county seats this time, and four Xuantu in Liaodong. Due to the small number, the price naturally increased.
Moreover, Fang Zhiwen's requirements this time were even higher, requiring each county to sign a military cooperation agreement, and the tax sharing paid must be set at a high of 30%. Although Fang Zhiwen is so strong, these eight county governments still sold at a very good price, providing sufficient construction funds for the newly built four cities.
....................................................................................
Unlike Gongsun Zan, who is vigorously eliminating dissidents and rectifying the rule of the country and actively squeezing outward forces, Yuan Shao was quite low-key after returning to Jizhou.
In terms of practical interests in the Central Plains War, Yuan Shao seemed to have returned to Jizhou empty-handedly, and even had to put a lot of food and grass consumption. However, when Yuan Shao went there, he had 90,000 infantry and cavalry, and the number of troops was more than doubled. The more he fought, the fewer he fought, the more he fought.
In addition, Yuan Shao's reputation is now the second place in the Han Dynasty. The first place is naturally Dong Zhuo, who holds the emperor hostage to live a prosperous life.
Yuan Shao's low-key return made Zhang Jiao really nervous for a while. He didn't even sleep at night, for fear of great strength and great reputation Yuan Shao took revenge. The Yellow Turban Army soldiers on the front line were even more ready to go. Even the Yellow Turban Army besieged Xindu had withdrawn from the Fuliu line, but it was just a long confrontation.
However, Yuan Shao, who lost Anping County, seemed not very nervous, and he was not even very interested in regaining Anping County. On the contrary, Yuan Shao gathered heavy troops in Pingyuan and Leling, and seemed to have the idea of attacking Han Fu Qinghe County and Guangping County. This action made Han Fu nervous and even sleeping was a little uneasy.
However, with smart people like Ju Su and Xu Miao under Han Fu, it can be seen that Yuan Shao’s purpose is more about strategic layout than really trying to take action in the military. Now Jizhou is in a three-legged posture, and Yuan Shao will not act rashly. Yuan Shao’s attitude of suppressing Han Fu and pleasing Zhang Jiao is more about wanting the Yellow Turban Army to aim at Han Fu, or there is also the idea of causing changes within the Yellow Turban Army.
However, for the sake of safety, it is very necessary to increase troops and defenses in Guangping and Qinghe County.
When the Central Plains forces and players on the south bank of the Yellow River were all planning to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, Yuan Shao suddenly took action.
Yuan Shao’s target was not the Yellow Turban Army, nor Han Fu, but Yi Ren!
On May 11, just as Fang Zhiwen was forcibly descending to Suli's ministry, Yuan Shao kicked off the war in Jizhou.
Yan Liang led 100,000 infantry and cavalry to cross the Yellow River from Leling Lijin and directly took the city of Le'an County in northern Qingzhou. The player troops in the city were not prepared at all. No one expected that Yuan Shao would be the first player to start the operation, and they would fight across states, directly burning the war to Qingzhou.
However, when players found it difficult to accept and wanted to appeal, they found that Qingzhou is now a prefecture without Shangguan management, with no governor or governor, Le'an County, Jinan County, and Qi State without county magistrates and prime ministers. Therefore, these places can even be said to be places without management.
I don’t have to pay taxes to share, so naturally no one comes to help me now. As for Kong Rong, he has not even settled Beihai County yet, let alone why should he help?
Yan Liang had strong attack ability, and the player's preparation was not sufficient, so the city fell that day. The player did not continue to fight street battles, but retreated directly and retreated to Qiancheng City to defend. Qiancheng was located on the main road, which happened to be stuck in the main road going south. If Yan Liang wanted to attack Le'an County, Qiancheng was the place that he had to take.
Unfortunately, Le'an County has always been a fight for players, so there is no unified strategic plan. Everyone can only temporarily choose Qiancheng as the fulcrum to block Yan Liang's troops. However, everyone forgot that Qiancheng is not a war fortress, but an ordinary third-level town. It cannot accommodate so many troops.
While Yan Liang took action, Wen Chou also led his army to set off from the plains and crossed the river to seize the county. Like the city, Zhuo County was attacked without any precautions. Although the game's guild in Zhuo County was very tenacious to resist, Wen Chou finally broke the city strongly. After fighting a street battle for a day and a night, Zhuo County lost its footing, but Zhuo County bought a day of preparation for other player's guilds in Jinan Country.
The three northwest counties of Qingzhou were originally areas with very good development. They were later washed by the Yellow Turban Army, and soon afterwards were washed by Fang Zhiwen and Lu Bu. Although they had experienced more than two years of restorative development, their population still did not return to their heyday.
Yuan Shao also saw this and was ready to swallow the three-in-one land behind him, on the one hand, to control the estuary of the Yellow River. On the other hand, to seize these land and population to compensate for the fields lost after being pushed by the Yellow Turbans. His last thought was to lay a springboard to reach out to the Central Plains. Yuan Shao never thought of giving up the Central Plains.
Yuan Shao's plan is good. The players in these three counties are indeed a mess, and their combat power is really not strong. More importantly, if they have no helpers, the Yellow Turban Army around them will not help them. The aristocratic tribes in Yanzhou will not help them, and Kong Rong will not help them even more.
But Yuan Shao didn't expect that players are sometimes very difficult to deal with. The development level of these three counties is high, which means that there are many cities and more cities, so there are many players. Even if one player has nothing, what about ten? What about a hundred?
There are hundreds of players entrenched in the three northwest counties of Qingzhou, which is the main reason why Cao Cao dared not act rashly after he arrived in Jinan.
Usually, there is nothing wrong with these players fighting each other in a mess, but once they unite to the outside world, it is a huge force. Now Yuan Shao has already felt the troubles of these players!
"Ziyuan, the situation is a bit troublesome now. Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not suffered serious losses, it may take more time and cost to successfully capture the three northwest counties of Qingzhou. This..."
Yuan Shao frowned at the map. Now Yuan Shao is surrounded by talents, Xu You, Guo Tu, Chen Lin, Pang Ji, Xin Ping, Geng Bao, Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, etc. Unfortunately, there are not any people who can make effective suggestions to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao had to click directly, and click Xu You at one point, which made many people feel a little disgusted.
Xu You shook his head with his goatee twisted his beard, glanced at the crowded men with a little reserved and proud attitude, and slowly spoke: "Don't worry about this, why is this difficult? There are three strategies for the upper, middle and lower to choose from!"
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and at the same time he was a little murmured in his heart, why should he keep it in a silence? He had to ask me to ask you to say that this was not intentional trick! However, Yuan Shao's face did not show any signs, but instead showed a look of surprise and said eagerly: "Oh!? Then Ziyuan quickly tell me!"
"This is the plan to surround the points to fight for reinforcements, first take the reinforcements of Yiren, try to attract Yiren to actively attack our army, and even deliberately reveal flaws to form a war. Taking advantage of our army's strong field combat capabilities, we will kill and damage the vitality of Yiren's troops. In this way, even if the three counties in the northwest of Qingzhou are full of players' cities, there will be empty cities without defense at that time, and it will be easy to capture!"
Xu You stretched out a finger, and when everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. They thought it was a magical plan. It turned out that it was just that. Who wouldn't use this trick to surround the point and set up an ambush to lure the enemy?
But they all seemed to have automatically ignored a fact. Why didn’t they think of this simple strategy alone before Xu You spoke?
The strategy doesn’t matter whether it is clever or not. It just uses the right method at the critical moment to force or induce the other party to make a mistake and grasp this mistake. That is a good strategy!
Xu You glanced at everyone's disregard for expressions, smiled coldly, and stretched out his second finger: "This is a trap..."
