After Xu Huang received Zhou Cheng's order, he led his army south.

The Dang Kou camp has now expanded to 12,000 people. In the past, the standard for the Dang Kou camp was to be good at running.

Now in order to expand the scale of the gangster camp, the standards have been slightly lowered.

However, the focus is on the prisoners in the death fighting camps and the elite supplements in the military camps in various places.

The Yongrui Battalion currently has a strength of 15,000 and is stationed in Yecheng.

During this expedition, Yongrui Battalion was tasked with transporting grain, grass and baggage.

……

Taiyuan City.

Yuan Shao just woke up today and learned that his third son Yuan Shang was ill.

Among the three sons, Yuan Shao favored Yuan Shang the most.

Because Yuan Shang is the prettiest and looks most like Yuan Shao.

However, when Yuan Shao accompanied Yuan Shang, Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others were already anxious.

Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others all hoped that Yuan Shao could go south and lead his army to take the emperor Liu Xie to Taiyuan or to Luoyang.

Although there are advantages and disadvantages to using the emperor to control the princes, if you can control it and convince the world, you can quickly grow and rise.

It's just that Yuan Shao only cares about Yuan Shang now and doesn't want to talk more about Luoyang.

"The lord hasn't come out yet!"

"Hey, the chaos in Luoyang is extremely involved, but at this time, the lord...hey."

Ju Shou and Tian Feng are really anxious.

However, is Yuan Shao really not going to Luoyang just because Yuan Shang is ill?

Yuan Shao has Yuan Shao's own ideas.

He once wanted to make Liu Yu emperor, but Yuan Shu did not support him, and Liu Yu Yu himself is not willing.

Needless to say, Cao Cao and others will definitely not support it.

And Yuan Shao now controls Bingzhou, and like Yuan Shu, dominates one side, why should he look for trouble?

Moreover, holding the emperor to order the princes seems to be a good thing , in fact?

Will Dong Zhuo have a good end?

Now, how can Li Jue and Guo Si have a good end?

Yuan Shao is so scheming, cruel and timid, how could he dare to take such a big risk?

……

Outside the fortress, Zhou Cheng camp.

Xu Fang just reported that Xu Huang had arrived at the Yellow River ferry and was crossing it.

At the same time, there was bad news.

According to the investigation of the Qingqi battalion scouts, Cao Cao gathered troops and horses in Yingyang, and it seemed that he also wanted to intervene in Luoyang.

After reading the map, Zhou Cheng snorted coldly:"Only Cao Mengde in the world has the courage and determination to dare to compete with me."

Jia Xu said:"My lord, although Cao Mengde has ambitions, his foundation does not exist. We can defeat him in battle."

Although Jia Xu also understood that Cao Cao was more powerful than Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Zhou Cheng focused on attacking Cao Cao, causing Cao Cao to lose Yanzhou now.

Without Yanzhou, the county towns in Yuzhou alone are not enough to cover a county, and they still need to rely on Yuan Shu's money and food for support.

Even if Cao Cao is good at fighting, what can he do?

Li Ru said:"My lord used Wen to attack Yuan Jiujiu. If Cao Mengde wants to go to Luoyang this time, he only needs to lobby Yuan Jiujiu to restrain Cao Mengde."

The so-called 'Wen attack' means to attack the opponent by non-military means.

There are detailed notes on 'Wenfa' in Six Taoist Teachings.

Zhou Cheng has also been using the method of"literary attack" to deal with Yuan Shu.

For example, buying people around Yuan Shu while avoiding fighting with Yuan Shu made Yuan Shu think that Zhou Cheng was afraid of him.

When Wen Sheng went to Shouchun as an envoy, he obeyed Yuan Shu's wishes, flattered him, and fostered his pride, making Yuan Shu even more arrogant.

These methods are all"literary attacks". It seems that Zhou Cheng did not attack Yuan Shu, but in fact, Zhou Cheng has achieved a strategic purpose.

Use Yuan Shu to contain Cao Cao.

Zhou Cheng said:"Well, although Yuan Jiujiu did not succeed enough, he failed more than he did. If he had helped, Cao Mengde would have returned without success this time."

Jia Xu said:"My lord, the chaos in Luoyang this time has spread to all states and counties."Why don't my lord use this as an inducement to lure X Wentai and his son to attack Xuzhou?"

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said,"I will follow the teacher's advice."

……

July 195 AD.

Zhou Cheng sent the death camp and Huben camp south, and ordered Zhang Liao to lead an army of 30,000 to guard the ferry.

In order to prevent Yuan Shao from taking the opportunity to attack Jizhou.

Zhou Cheng also ordered Taishi Ci, Guan Hai and others to mobilize troops from Bohai, Qinghe and other counties.

At the same time, Cao Cao took Cao Ren as the vanguard.

Cao Ren led an army of 20,000 troops and marched into Yingchuan.

Cao Cao, however, led an army of 40,000 and carried all the food, grass and baggage, and it looked like he was going to make a desperate move.

Moreover, Cao Cao sent envoys to Yuan Shu to lobby Yuan Shu, hoping that Yuan Shu could give Cao Cao more support.

At this time, the armies of Zhou Cheng and Cao Cao gathered around Luoyang City.

Xu Huang led his army and horses to confront Cao Hong.

And in Yanzhou East County.

After Chen Gong heard that Cao Cao had sent troops to Yingchuan, he changed his mind and suggested that Liu Bei send troops to attack Cao Cao.

Liu Bei also didn't expect Chen Gong to hate Cao Cao so much.

However, Liu Bei's army was unknown, so he couldn't attack Cao Cao without any reason.

Liu Bei said:"Gongtai, although I fought with Cao Gong because Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, I have no grudges with Cao Gong. Today Cao Gong entered Luoyang to rescue the emperor. If I attack without reason, I will be reviled by everyone in the world.""

Chen Gong was angered by Liu Bei's words. Without waiting for Chen Gong to persuade him again, Liu Bei said:"Gongtai, no need to say more, I have made up my mind."
