Chapter 365 Prelude to the Battle of Youzhou

The latest website: "My lord, the governor of western Liaoning, Prince Yan, and the governor of Youbeiping, Gongsun Zan, abandoned the city and fled, left the frontier, and disappeared!"

"Even if Youbeiping falls, they can retreat to Yuyang County to defend, so why flee north?"

The chopsticks in Liu Bei's hand fell to the ground.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan gave up their resistance, which was a fatal blow to Liu Bei's forces.

In Ji County, Liu Bei had been in Youzhou for less than half a year, and his power had just reached its peak when he was attacked by various forces.

In a sense, Youzhou is the land of the four battles in the north. The Liaodong Army in Mingguan moved westward and wanted to take Youzhou. Yuan Shao and Zhao Long's Jizhou forces moved north to take Youzhou. Huma of Bingzhou wants to take the land, but also cuts a piece of meat from Youzhou.

Liu Bei was attacked by powerful enemies, and was only slightly better than Cao Cao.

"Master, how can this be good?"

Liu Bei invited Chen Xi, a foreign military advisor, to come to the banquet, and the current Liu Bei forces simply could not withstand the attack of the four princes. Not to mention the four major princes, even from Mingguan in Liaodong, with a large number of cavalry and heavy infantry in Liaodong, the quality of their civil servants and generals is not comparable to Liu Bei. Mingguan has obtained a lot of benefits in previous epic battles and national wars, second only to Chutian, and similar to Jijiu Lao Qin.

Chen Xi's expression at this time was also very puzzled. He couldn't understand why Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan didn't flee for their lives in the south, but instead ran to the desert in the north.

The generals of Liu Bei's forces went to resist Yuan Shao, Zhao Long, and Huma, and they faced Yan Liangwen Chou, Lanling King, Hu Luguang, Han Jihu, Shi Wansui, Lian Po, Zhou Dewei, and Ju Shou, Tian Feng and other advisors, even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and generals from other dynasties recruited by Liu Bei, could not support them.

"Changshan, Zhongshan, and Anping in Jizhou have been occupied by Yuan Shao and Zhao Long, and Daijun and Shanggu in Youzhou have been captured by Huma. We only have Hejian in Jizhou and Zhuo in Youzhou. County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, a total of four counties."

Chen Xi mentioned the precarious situation of Liu Bei's forces, and the Youzhou officials present were silent.

At the peak of Liu Bei's period, there were four counties in Jizhou and five counties in Youzhou that he actually controlled. There were a total of nine counties. Now they are besieged by major princes, leaving only four counties left. And the expansion of the major princes is not over yet.

Liu Bei's thoughts were so heavy that it was hard to swallow: "The situation is critical, please ask the military teacher to teach me."

Chen Xi looked at the Youzhou officials present,

Indicates that Liu Bei's matter is confidential and cannot be known to the public.

So Liu Bei got up and went to the back room with Chen Xi alone to conspire.

Chen Xi knew that Liu Bei's willpower was the most tenacious of all the princes. Cao Cao would waver when things went wrong, but Liu Bei fled all the way from the north to the south. Liu Bei would not give up so easily.

If Liu Bei escaped to Hulao Pass, his choice would be different from that of Cao Cao. Liu Bei would rather flee to Jiujiu Lao Qin as a guest general, guard the Xiongguan for Jiji Lao Qin, wait for an opportunity, and would not surrender to Chutian and be deprived of military power.

This is Liu Bei's tenacity.

Even if Liu Bei is now besieged by Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Liaodong, Liu Bei will not give up.

In the face of Liu Bei, who trusted him, Chen Xi proposed a risky plan: "Yuan Shao is in the south, Huma is in the west, Mingguan is in the east, and the north is Mo Nan. The lord can rely on one of the forces to preserve his troops and lead the three major forces to You. The decisive battle in the state. The three forces are like wolves like tigers, and none of them are good. In order to compete for Youzhou, they will definitely fight, and the number of troops and villagers may be as many as one million. Once the three parties suffer heavy losses, the lord can Take advantage of the fisherman and regain control of Youzhou. This plan is very risky, but it is a gamble. Among the three parties, if one of the three parties still has spare strength after the war, we will not be able to accomplish anything.”

Contrary to Chen Xi's expectations, Liu Bei quickly agreed: "Who do the military advisors think they should rely on?"

"You can rely on Yuan Shao and make Yuan Shao, Huma, and Mingguan territories border on each other, and then the three-army war can be facilitated. And Yuan Shao can tolerate the existence of Zhao Long. Since he has set a precedent, he can naturally tolerate the lord as a guest general."

"Okay, I will send you to Yuan Shao's barracks to discuss with Yuan Shao about the four counties to join us. But please allow Yuan Shao to allow us to have troops and horses to be stationed in my hometown Zhuo County. I am willing to give up Jixian, the seat of Youzhou government."

Liu Bei made up his mind and sent military advisor Chen Xi to Yuan Shao's barracks.

Chen Xi agreed.

Yuan Shao's 50,000 troops were completely wiped out by Chutian's cavalry in Henan. In his anger, he vented all his anger on Liu Bei and sacked the Jizhou county under Liu Bei's control. He almost owned Jizhou's nine counties and became the largest prince in Hebei. .

The rise of Yuan Shao is inseparable from the support of the alien lord Zhao Long. Zhao Long controls the guild formed by free players and is responsible for inquiring and infiltrating Jizhou. He also owns fiefs such as Zhao and Changshan, and has generals such as Shi Wansui and Han Qihu. and a large number of soldiers.

Although Yuan Shao was also on guard against Zhao Long, Zhao Long was still attached to Yuan Shao on the surface, and Zhao Long was too big to fall, so Yuan Shao didn't dare to touch Zhao Long. Zhao Long was infiltrating within Yuan Shao's forces. If Yuan Shao wanted to harm him, he could get the news as soon as possible. The internal fire of Jizhou will only make other princes cheaper. Yuan Shao knew this.

Yuan Shao's forces seem to be getting stronger and stronger, but there are major factions inside each other.

Now, there is another force. Liu Bei, the shepherd of Youzhou, secretly sent an envoy to ask to be attached to Yuan Shao. He was willing to dedicate four counties, but he also requested to keep one county. Zhuo County, assist Yuan Shao to monitor the north.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard the news.

If he accepts Liu Bei, Yuan Shao can not only own the nine counties of Jizhou, but also the three counties of Youzhou. Obtaining Liu Bei is equivalent to obtaining Liu Bei's civil servants and generals!

Tian Feng knew that Liu Bei had sent people to lobby Yuan Shao, looked at the map, and poured cold water on Yuan Shao: "My lord, no, Liu Bei's offering of the city is actually a disaster!"

Chen Xi, a foreign military adviser to Yuan Shao's forces, was shocked in his heart. Sure enough, such a strategy could not be concealed from Yuan Shao's advisers Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

The advisors present, Xu You, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Xun Chen, Xin Pi and others all looked at Tian Feng and Chen Xi who was standing in the middle of the hall.

Yuan Shao was puzzled: "Liu Xuande came down from the four commanderies and states, and he guarded the north for me, so I can do my best to go south, why would the disaster lead to the east?"

"Liu Xuande is unwilling to be subordinated, and relying on the lord is only an expedient measure. Once the lord occupies Jixian, he will definitely be hated by Huma and Mingguan. When the Bingzhou and Liaodong legions gather in Jixian, it will definitely be a shocking battle, the sun and the moon. No light. In case of defeat, not only will the land be lost, but even if it is defeated, it will definitely suffer heavy losses and be taken advantage of by villains!"

Tian Feng made a generous speech, completely seeing through the strategy of Liu Bei's alien military adviser Chen Xi, and looked at Chen Xi to let Chen Xi know that he had failed. At the same time, Tian Feng accused Sang of scolding Huai, and demoted Liu Bei and Chen Xi to villains.

Yuan Shao's advisers whispered in private, they have the ability to stand here, they are not mediocre, after Tian Feng's reminder, they can see the clue.

Chen Xi squinted, Tian Feng is very smart, but he may not lose to Tian Feng. Tian Feng has a fatal weakness, that is, it is too rigid.

Chen Xi glanced at Guo Tu.

Guo Tu stood up and said: "Why should the lord be afraid of Huma and Mingguan! If the lord wants to unify Hebei and compete in the Central Plains, Bingzhou and Liaodong must be eliminated! Now Liu Xuande offers Youzhou, and he leads Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals as the lord Effectiveness, this is a good opportunity to eliminate Huma, Mingguan, occupy Bingzhou and Liaodong, and dominate Hebei! God has given the lord such a good opportunity, how can you give up Youzhou because of fear of war?"

Tian Feng was in a hurry and accused Guo Tu: "Our army has not been fully prepared, the Bingzhou wolf is like a wolf, the Liaodong iron is like a tiger, and the battle of Youzhou is likely to be defeated. How can we rashly go north to Jixian and compete with Bingzhou and Liaodong? It's better to Xu Xutu. Instead, secretly accumulate strength, sit back and watch Bingzhou and Liaodong suffer both losses, and then seize Youzhou in one fell swoop!"

Ju Shou stood up and stood in the same camp with Tian Feng: "If Liu Xuande sincerely joins the lord, he should surrender all his troops and horses. The lord will occupy Zhuo County, cede Ji County to the forces of Bingzhou and Liaodong, and wait for the opportunity."

Guo Tu was furious: "Tian Feng and Ju Shou are as timid as mice, and they are not enough to be reused. Following their advice will only make the lord miss the opportunity, and the Central Plains will not be visible!"

Shen Pei stood on Guo Tu's side: "The lord is sitting on the nine counties of Jizhou, with strong troops and strong horses, it is advisable to fight quickly, sweep Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Liaodong, control one million strings, cross the Yellow River, and unify the world."

Yuan Shao's internal advisors were divided into two factions again. Tian Feng and Ju Shi proposed to confiscate Liu Bei's military power and wait for work. Guo Tu and Shen Pei advocated taking in Liu Bei, marching into Youzhou, and making a quick decision.

Yuan Shao was hesitant, and every time he encountered a major decision, Yuan Shao would be divided into two factions, arguing endlessly.

Chen Xi added: "Today, Chu Zimou in Henan has attacked Yanzhou, annexed Cao Cao, and devoured it. It will take at least a year to digest Yanzhou and establish a ruling system. Once Chu Zimou is allowed to unify the four states of Henan, it will be difficult for Duke Yuan to compete with him. Please Yuan Gong. Using our lord as a minion, the Duke defeated Bingzhou and Liaodong soldiers and horses, swept Hebei, and went south to fight with Chu Zimou. This is the opportunity given to Duke Yuan to unify the world, don't worry about it."

Chen Xi's words touched Yuan Shao's fear of Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou.

Yuan Shao looked at Zhao Long, the alien lord who had supported him very early, and Zhao Long kept silent: "What do you think, Brother Xian?"

Zhao Long seemed to have fallen asleep, when Yuan Shao asked him this, and then he stood up: "I personally think that what Chen Xi said is very true, if you don't control Hebei as soon as possible and let Chu Zimou dominate the Central Plains, I'm afraid your lord will not be able to make a difference. ."

Zhao Long's status in Yuan Shao's mind was higher than other advisors, because Zhao Long had generals and troops, and he helped Yuan Shao defeat Liu Bei in the Battle of Julu.

"Since the wise brothers have said so, I have made up my mind. Liu Bei moved to Zhuo County, Yan Liang and Wen Chou sent troops to occupy Ji County, with Tian Feng and Feng Ji as military advisers and Liu Bei as minions, to reject strong enemies from all directions. Brother, go north!"

Yuan Shao had Zhao Long and Liu Bei as eagle dogs and thought he could defeat Huma and Mingguan.

Liu Bei's alien military adviser Chen Xi looked at Zhao Long intentionally or not, with some doubts in his eyes. He tried to bribe Guo Tu and lobby for trial match, but he never approached Zhao Long.

Could it be that Zhao Long couldn't see Liu Bei's intention to lead Yuan Shao north to fight Bingzhou and Liaodong?

Zhao Long's eyes were erratic and absent-minded.

Yuan Shao recruited troops and horses from various counties in Jizhou, and each county sent 40,000 troops and horses, which could also make up an army of 300,000.

"Please stop!"

"Can the two gentlemen have any advice?"

"Could it be that you can't see that Liu Bei wants to bring disaster to the east?"

Yuan Shao sent everyone down to prepare, Tian Feng and Ju Shou stopped Zhao Long, not understanding why Zhao Long would suddenly support Guo Tu and Shen Pei. For a long time, Zhao Long has been on good terms with all parties in Yuan Shao's forces, especially with Tian Feng and Ju Shou. Tian Feng and Ju Shou knew Zhao Long's ability, and they did not believe that Zhao Long could not see Chen Xi's strategy.

Zhao Long said: "Of course I can see it."

"Then why..."

"Chu Zimou can unify the Central Plains in a year or two, and the next step is Hebei. If you don't defeat Huma and Mingguan as soon as possible, how will you fight against Chu Zimou? If you have a battle with Chu Zimou in the future, please also ask The two gentlemen help me. I will go back to Handan to prepare for the battle and prepare to go north."

Zhao Long has a good relationship with Tian Feng and Ju Shuo, so he speaks briefly and directly.

Along with Zhao Long was Shi Wansui, and a general who didn't even know Tian Feng and Ju Shou.

Ju Shou looked at Zhao Long's back, "He has something to hide from us."

Tian Feng is more concerned about the generals who follow Zhao Long: "That person is very popular and very personable."

"It seems that Zhao Long came back from Mobei and recruited a general."

After all, Tian Feng and Ju Shou were weak and weak, and it was already difficult to contend against Guo Tu and the matchmaking. With Zhao Long's support, Yuan Shao did not follow Tian Feng and Ju Shou's advice in the end.

The sky over Youzhou was densely covered with dark clouds. Liu Bei announced that he would be attached to Yuan Shao, moved to Zhuo County, and surrendered Youzhou to Yuan Shao, the shepherd of Jizhou. In order to compete for Youzhou, Huma and Mingguan gathered troops and horses and marched to Ji County.

"interesting……"

In Puyang City, Chutian returned to the division and learned that the princes of Hebei were fighting for Youzhou. It seemed that Liu Bei had withdrawn from the competition for Youzhou and was relying on Yuan Shao, but Liu Bei still had soldiers and horses in his hands.

The Battle of Youzhou may cause hundreds of thousands of casualties and corpses on all sides.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan had already gone to Monan according to Chutian's request to manage the horse production area for Chutian.

In Puyang City, Cao Ren, Man Chong, Xiahou Dun and others were captured and held in prison.

When Cao Ren saw Cao Cao, he couldn't help crying.

After Cao Cao's inquiries, he heard that Man Chong had persuaded Cao Ren to surrender, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Man Boning, know me too."

Because of Cao Cao's appearance, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Man Chong and others all pledged allegiance to Chutian after meeting Cao Cao.

"Ding! King-level military general Xiahou Dun (according to Romance) is loyal to you."

"Ding! The king-level general Cao Ren is loyal to you."

"Ding! The diamond-level commander Man Chong is loyal to you."

"Ding! Platinum-level commander Cao Ang is loyal to you."

"Ding! Platinum-level civil servant Xue Ti (Yanzhou nobility) is loyal to you."

"Ding! Gold-level general Cao Anmin is loyal to you."

...

Another group of civil servants and generals are loyal to Chu Tian, ​​many of them are Cao Cao's clan, and Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang...

Now Cao Cao's whole family has been captured by Chu Tian, ​​as well as Cao Cao's family Ding and side Bian.

Chutian returned Cao Cao's wife and children to Cao Cao, ordered them to move to Xiacheng, and monitored them to ensure Cao Cao's loyalty. Although Cao Cao likes other people's wives very much, Chu Tian doesn't think that Cao Cao would like his wife to be taken away.

It will take some time for Chutian to digest the numerous civil servants and generals in Yanzhou. Chutian planned to take Cao Cao to fight the national war. There is no need to worry about Cao Cao's mutiny during the national war, because Cao Cao is unlikely to surrender to the aliens.

"There may be a war in Youzhou, and I just want to farm well in Henan..."
