Chapter 262
The five thousand vanguard troops that were let go had already rushed to Peng Cheng County!
I think after Ji Ling gets the news, he will definitely retreat immediately!
As for the direction of Xia Qiu, the thirty thousand troops left by Yuan Gonglu probably won't give Lin Yang a chance!
This battle!
To sum up, it just made Yuan Gonglu lose thirty thousand troops!
"Alas, no way, the terrain here is like this, it is not a dangerous pass!"
With a sigh, Lin Yang looked at the valley in front of him!
This valley was already one of the few places suitable for ambush on the entire Jianghuai Plain!
The Jianghuai Plain is flat as a pancake!
It is really difficult to find a terrain suitable for ambush that can swallow Yuan Gonglu's thirty thousand troops!
This is not Shu, where there are dangerous mountains everywhere!
An ambush, a rolling stone, can kill the Phoenix Fledgling!
An ambush in the Gourd Valley directly burned away Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops!
In this flat terrain, if Zhuge Kongming came!
He wouldn't be able to annihilate Yuan Gonglu's entire army either!
"Enough, Fengxiao, now is not the time to defeat Yuan Gonglu, this person still needs to be kept!"
Looking at the direction Yuan Gonglu fled, in Lin Yang's eyes, Yuan Gonglu was just Yuan Gonglu, not worth worrying about!
Even if he almost suffered a loss this time!
But in Lin Yang's heart, Yuan Gonglu's priority was still lower than Cao Mengde and Lu Bu/Chen Gong!
Now Cao Mengde and Lu Bu, Chen Gong were fighting in Yanzhou!
If he attacked Yuzhou at this time!
Once Yuan Gonglu was crippled, this great Yuzhou would be cheap for Cao Mengde and the others!
Lin Yang would not do such a stupid thing!
"Hmm, I think Yuan Gonglu lost thirty thousand troops this time, so he shouldn't attack again!"
Guo Jia nodded; losing thirty thousand troops was indeed nothing!
But calculating the time, the news of Yuan Benchou capturing Qingzhou and Qi Commandery should be coming soon!
The two commanderies left by Cao Mengde were originally to exchange for Yuan Gonglu to send troops to Xuzhou to drag out Lin Yang!
As a result!
Yuan Gonglu's troops hadn't arrived yet!
Yuan Benchou was the first to set his eyes on those two commanderies!
Yuan Benchou gave up Beihai Commandery and Donglai Commandery!
The great army attacked the two commanderies under Cao Mengde with all its strength!
Calculating the time, Yuan Gonglu would soon get the news!
"Haha, if I were Yuan Gonglu, I would definitely not want the two commanderies of Qingzhou, I would definitely send the great army south to capture Lujiang Commandery!"
The two commanderies of Qingzhou are not adjacent to Yuzhou!
To take over those two commanderies, one still needs to borrow the land of Yanzhou!
Now Cao Mengde is restrained by Lu Bu, so he has no time to manage the territory of Qingzhou, which is why he gave it to Yuan Gonglu!
Once Cao Mengde handles Lu Bu, the two commanderies of Qingzhou will definitely be taken back!
At that time, Cao Mengde's army will move out, cut off the food supply between Yuzhou and Qingzhou from Yanzhou, and send troops to the two commanderies of Qingzhou!
He can easily take them back!
Such an enclave is useless!
It is far inferior to Lujiang Commandery below Jiujiang Commandery!
If Yuan Gonglu occupies Lujiang Commandery, he can send troops to Sun Jian's Yuzhang Commandery at any time!
In this way!
Sun Wentai would be the fish on Yuan Shu's chopping block!
Wanting to capture the remaining few commanderies of Yangzhou, there would be no chance at all!
Once this happens, Yuan Gonglu can nibble away at the remaining three commanderies of Yangzhou to raise his great army!
It's a pity!
Now everything is too late!
"Gather the surrendered soldiers, the army goes to Peng Cheng!"
Now that Yuan Gonglu's thirty thousand troops were broken, the danger to Peng Cheng and Xiapi was completely resolved!
Lin Yang also had to rest his army and prepare for the next battle!
It is now mid-February!
After the beginning of spring, his army must move!
Time waits for no one!
Because of Yuan Gonglu's stupidity, Sun Jian of Yuzhang Commandery has now greatly increased his strength and is about to capture the entire Lujiang Commandery!
If he is late, I am afraid Yangzhou will be gone!
Following Lin Yang's order, the army moved again!
On one hand, he sent people to notify Zhao Yun and told him about Yuan Gonglu splitting his troops!
On the other hand, he sent people to notify Dian Wei and Zang Ba to let them prepare!
Two days later, Yuzhou, Pei State, Xiang County!
"My lord, the army has retreated, and currently only two thousand surrendered soldiers have been gathered!"
Zhang Xun looked at Yuan Gonglu in front of him with a disheveled look; thirty thousand troops!
They were completely burned away by a fire!
Except for the five thousand vanguard troops brought back by Ji Ling, the remaining twenty-five thousand soldiers were all routed, with countless casualties!
"Damn, damn Lin Ziyuan!"
His perfect plan was destroyed by Lin Yang!
His thirty thousand troops were burned away by a fire!
Roaring in anger, flames almost sprayed from Yuan Gonglu's eyes!
"Report, my lord, urgent report from Qingzhou!"
Just then, the soldiers outside came in a hurry and handed over the bamboo slips in their hands!
For a time!
Looking at the urgent report sent from the direction of Qingzhou, Yuan Gonglu looked at it with doubt!
When he saw the content above, Yuan Gonglu was suddenly furious and smashed the letter on the ground!
"Yuan Benchou, Lin Ziyuan, you all deceive people too much!".
