Lu Qi carried out a reorganization of the army in Dezhou, and all the former commanders of Fu Qian's army became his commanders of the army, that is, they became temporary commanders. The cavalry and infantry were basically adjusted based on the battalion and mixed with the military strength brought by Lu Qi. However, five thousand infantry were still one army and two thousand cavalry were one army. They were still led by Du Yuhou and were directly ordered to be the envoy of Xuanfu.

Yang Yanzhao also became the commander of the military commander. Lu Qi and Yang Yanzhao and the cavalry Du Yuhou held a secret military meeting. He told the generals that he had arranged a surprise attack on the capital of Yan State at sea.

There were 200,000 Yan troops attacking Zhou, of which 100,000 were cavalry. Once the Yan army retreated, it should be that the sea forces attacked the capital of Yan. Lu Qi ordered Yang Yanzhao to lead 50,000 cavalry to rush to the north to find a place to ambush and wait for an opportunity to attack the retreating Yan army. No matter how Lu Qi was deployed, everything was decided by Yang Yanzhao.

Of course, Lu Qi would not go to the north to fight in person. He is now responsible for the overall situation. He not only needs to deter those who follow the military, but also needs to take into account the changes in the territory of Zhou at any time so that he can make corresponding decisions in a timely manner.

In addition, Lu Qi knew that he was not as good as Yang Yanzhao when he went to the north to fight. The Duke of Dingguo and his son fought against Yan State for many years in the north, and the geography and military information he had accumulated must be rich. He went to the north because he was unfamiliar with geography, so it was difficult for him to make the best military strategy.

Lu Qi's northern strategy was mainly to assist Zhu Wu's military attack. What he had to do was to deal with the Yan army entering the Zhou Kingdom. When Lu Qi sent troops from Taiyuan, he had already sent 50 elite scouts and divided them into ten groups to rush to the Yellow River. He bought boats from the Yellow River and flowed down the Yellow River mouth and into the Bohai Sea, striving to send military information to Zhu Wu's army.

Generals such as Yang Yanzhao were naturally confused about Lu Qi's surprise attack on the sea. Lu Qi said bluntly that he actually had Suzhou and Changzhou, and His Majesty the Great Zhou also knew it, so His Majesty the Great Zhou appointed him as King of Yu. The name Yu was Hanwu. His Majesty the Great Zhou asked him to send troops to advance to Yan State at sea. The generals who did not know the truth were surprised and followed the order of Lu Qi's army to set off.

Five days after the cavalry left, Lu Qi also led the 130,000 infantry to start a counterattack against the Yan army. He adopted a step-by-step strategy, trying not to fight with the Yan army on flat ground, avoiding the real and the false, and then leaving the army to defend. The main force of the Yan infantry was mostly against the Dingguo Duke in Dingzhou. Although there were a large number of cavalry, he did not dare to stand alone and stand too deep.

Although Lu Qi's counterattack progressed slowly, he regained the territory step by step, and fell into a stalemate of hide and seek with the Yan army. You attacked and defended, and divided the army to seize the land. Lu Qi took advantage of the number of infantry troops and only divided the army to capture the city and defended it, but did not engage in large-scale battles with the Yan cavalry.

****

On the sea, there were several days of southeast winds. Above the endless waves, thousands of large ships were shaking the wind and waves. Each large ship carried hundreds to one thousand soldiers, a total of 200,000 Jin troops who set out to fight.

Zhu Wu, Song Laoqing and Wang Ping all gathered on a commanding ship. Since they captured the Goryeo Peninsula, they have not received real reign. Small-scale rebellions and sneak attacks are constantly occurring everywhere. Zhu Wu repeatedly delayed the surprise attack on Yan State and forcibly moved away more than 100,000 Goryeo population.

"Report! The commander-in-chief, the vanguard ship brought back some scouts, saying that it was the Lord's envoy." Someone outside the cabin shouted to report.

Zhu Wu was playing chess with a subordinate. Song Laoqing and Wang Ping were lying on the other side on the bamboo chair looking at the sky. Wang Ping looked listless as if he was half dead. After going to sea, he could not drink. Wang Ping became a sick man, but Song Laoqing looked at the sky with half-squinted eyes, just like an old man was dozing off.

As soon as the news came down, there was a movement in the cabin. Wang Ping and Song Laoqing suddenly bounced away like being bitten by a snake. Zhu Wu also stood up, but he seemed much calmer. The three generals did not give in and walked out of the cabin door.

Outside the deck outside the cabin, there was a medium cabin ship beside him. Some soldiers in Zhou's armor were helped onto the handsome ship. The soldiers who were helped onto the deck looked ugly, all of whom were almost dead and still fearful. They were ordered to enter the sea. As a result, after entering the sea, they looked around and fell into a fear of being unable to go back. There was no way. Most of the soldiers sent by Lu Qi were water ducks, and none of them were familiar with the sea.

"Hey, can you speak?" Wang Ping asked impatiently.

Two soldiers nodded, and Wang Ping hurriedly asked, "It was the Lord who asked you to come. Where is the Lord?"

"Who are you? We want to meet the coach?" a soldier replied.

"You're dizzy. Aren't these all the coaches?" Wang Ping slapped his golden armor and said angrily.

The soldier was stunned and said, "Master, let us see Marshal Zhu Wu, Marshal Wang Ping, and Marshal Song Laoqing."

"I am Wang Ping, this is Zhu Wu, that is Song Laoqing, you should talk about the serious matters." Wang Ping waved his hand and pointed, a little anxious.

The soldier nodded and saluted, "I'll pay homage to the three great commanders."

"Well, do you have anything else?" Wang Ping glared.

Another soldier saw that something was wrong and hurriedly said, "No, the Lord is in Taiyuan, and urgently ordered us to rush to the Yellow River and enter the Bohai Sea to deliver letters to the generals. The Lord is now the Xuanfu Envoy of Zhenbei, and has led his army to fight against the Yan army in the north. The Lord said he would restrain the 200,000 Yan army that attacked Zhou."

Zhu Wu nodded and said, "Come on, sit down and talk slowly."

Zhu Wu took the lead and asked carefully the scout who came to deliver the letter. The three great mentors were extremely surprised after hearing this. Wang Ping couldn't help but say happily: "This should be a drink."

Zhu Wu nodded happily and said, "Go in and drink."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ping bounced up like a rabbit and ran into the cabin. Zhu Wu also looked forward and sighed loudly. In fact, half of his delay in marching into Yan State was concerned about the deep crisis of the march. After advancing to Goryeo, he knew more about the situation of Yan State. The warship could only carry 200,000 troops at a time. He was unwilling to advance and cause a crushing defeat. If Jin State had not supported the 5,000 divine crossbow army, he would have given up the surprise attack on Yan State.

Five days later, the Jin army suddenly arrived on the coast of Yan State. Regardless of where it was, it landed rapidly. The landing army quickly captured the local fishermen. Knowing that the landing place belonged to Jizhou and Jizhou was in the northeast of Youzhou, Zhu Wu received the report and immediately ordered the army to advance to the northwest and deploy strategic plans during the march.

200,000 Jin troops advanced all the way, and destroyed a military town with 3,000 troops stationed along the way. After that, the army was almost unhindered. Zhu Wu obtained the military information of Yan State along the way. Yan State did have 200,000 troops to attack Zhou State, and 100,000 troops stationed in the Juma River. Yan State had only 30,000 troops to guard the capital of Yan State, and Yan State had 400,000 troops to deploy defenses in the northwest and north. It can be said that not only the capital of Yan State was in a state of emptiness, but also took coastal defense lightly, or did not have the spare energy to pay attention to the sea defense gap.

The Jin army landed from the sea and reported to the capital of Yan State in one day. The Yan State's court was immediately shocked by joy. The Yan State's court had also celebrated the advancement of several states of Zhou State, and tasted the spoils sent back by the army ahead, thinking that this time it would at least capture the territory north of the Yellow River, which was Hebei Road during the Tang Dynasty.

The Yan State court did not know that it was the attack of Jin State's military forces, and guessed whether it was the attack of Zhou State or the Goryeo people. Yan State and Goryeo have always had a disagreement. Yan State had sent troops to fight the Goryeo Peninsula several times, but they did not successfully seize it. Therefore, after Zhu Wu seized the Goryeo Peninsula, Yan State did not discover that the Goryeo Peninsula changed hands for a long time.

Due to the urgent military situation, the Yan State court transferred troops to rescue the capital while fiercely debating whether to retreat, that is, the court and the emperor left the capital of Yan State to avoid the enemy's troops and avoid the emperor and the court being captured.

Finally, the sound of retreating prevailed. The Emperor of Yan and the ministers of the court fled from Yan's capital and ran to Jumahe. When the Emperor of Yan left, he took away 20,000 Yulin troops to protect him. The majestic Youzhou City has been the towering and majestic city, and there were only 10,000 Yan troops guarding him.

Zhu Wu led a large army to attack Youzhou City. According to the scout's reward, he knew that the towering Youzhou City had only 10,000 defenders. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. If he could capture Youzhou City, he would have an invincible foundation.
