Thousands of miles away.

On the grassland outside the Great Wall, Zhou Cheng camp.

Zhou Cheng was listening to the scout's report.

Xu Huang is currently crossing in front of Cao Cao's army, making Cao Cao afraid to continue advancing.

Jia Xu said:"Cao Mengde is afraid of the power of the lord, and Cao's army has been defeated in this battle." Li Ru said:"Wen He planned the strategy, and someone is not as good as him."

Jia Xu's time of advancing Cao's army, and his reaction when he met Xu Huang, It’s all calculated clearly.

It doesn't matter if Li Ru refuses to accept it.

Zhou Cheng said:"If we win this battle, the teacher should take the first credit."

Jia Xu said:"It all depends on the power of the lord."

Jia Xu's words are not flattering.

It was true that Zhou Cheng was so capable and dared to fight that Cao Cao was afraid and did not dare to be careless.

And now Cao Cao has little food. If Yuan Shu cuts off Cao Cao's military food, then even if Cao Cao plunders Yingchuan, he won't be able to squeeze out much oil and water.

Of course, Luoyang still has food.

But if you want to get the food of Luoyang, you have to cross Xu Huang.

Zhou Cheng said:"There is no other Yuan Dynasty in this battle. We will win."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile:"Cao Mengde is blocked. The next step is to expand the chaos in the Central Plains."

Zhou Cheng laughed. He said:"If I have a teacher to help me, why worry about the world not being able to help me?""

……

In August 195 AD, Sun Jian and Sun Ce led 30,000 troops, crossed the Yangtze River and headed north, attacked Xuyi and Huaiyin, and began to conquer Xuzhou.

Shortly after Sun Jian and Sun Ce sent troops, Wen Sheng was ordered to arrive in Shouchun.

When Wen Sheng came to see Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's spirit had obviously deteriorated recently.

As the 'overlord of the south', Yuan Shu was obviously inflated, unwilling to make progress, and at the same time, he was content with enjoying himself.

Therefore, it is natural to be drained by wine and sex.

When Wen Sheng saw Yuan Shu, he said:"Greetings to Ming Gong."

Yuan Shu said to Wen Sheng:"Why did you come here this time?"

Wen Sheng replied:"There is chaos in Luoyang this time, and Cao Mengde wants to plot Luoyang. , I want to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes. Cao Meng's virtue, talent and virtue are all inferior to Duke Ming. Now he looks up to Duke Ming but is ungrateful. This is an unjust person." When

Yuan Shu heard Cao Cao's name, he snorted coldly. He said:"If I had not kept the dogs of Cao Meng's family, they would have been destroyed by Duke Zhou long ago. What they have done now is not respecting my orders, which is really hateful."

Cao Cao left Yingyang, invaded Yingchuan, and marched towards Luoyang.

All this was not reported in advance, which made Yuan Shu very dissatisfied.

After all, in Yuan Shu's eyes, Cao Cao was defeated by Zhou Cheng and it was entirely dependent on him to send troops to rescue him to survive.

Now Cao Cao doesn't know how to be grateful, and actually wants to climb on Yuan Shu's head.

Wen Sheng said:"My lord wants to destroy Cao. If we can get help from Ming Gong, we can achieve great things."

Yan Xiang frowned and said,"My lord, this matter still needs to be discussed."

Yang Hong also secretly shook his head towards Yuan Shu. , reminding Yuan Shu not to make hasty decisions.

After Yuan Shu saw the two counselors, he said:"I have fulfilled Duke Zhou's wishes. This matter needs to be discussed again."

After Wen Sheng left.

Yang Hong then said:"My lord, Mr. Wentai and his son are attacking Xuyi and Huaiyin. My lord, please don't let them grow bigger."

Yan Xiang also said:"My lord, if Cao Mengde and the Zhou thieves fight, one of them will be injured. If Cao Mengde is defeated, , we must rely more on the lord. With Cao Mengde on his lord's behalf to resist the enemies from the north, both Yuzhou and Yangzhou will have no worries. Now that Xtai and his son are attacking Xuzhou, it is the best time for the lord to enter Xuzhou."

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said:"Send the order Ji Ling, led the army to attack Guangling"

……

At the end of August 195 AD, Yuan Shu adopted Yan Xiang's strategy and ordered Ji Ling to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Guangling.

At this time, Xuzhou encountered a pincer attack from Sun Jian and his son, and Yuan Shu.

Tao Qian felt the pressure doubled. While he mobilized Zang Ba and others to fight against Ji Ling, he defended Xuyi and Huaiyin.

However, what Yuan Shu didn't know was that what he and Sun Jian and his son did were all within Jia Xu's expectations.

The strategy Jia Xu proposed to Zhou Cheng was also a poisonous one.

In the past, Xuzhou was a peaceful place with many people and sufficient food.

However, after the invasions of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu, Xuzhou experienced war, what was left?

Of course, Xuzhou is still a strategic artery.

But what is the basis for fighting for the world? It's money, food and military horses.

If you want more money, food, and military horses, you need enough people.

Without the people, who would cultivate the land or join the army?

Yanzhou was in chaos, Xuzhou was in chaos, and Qingzhou was in a disaster year again.

Under this situation, the chaos in the Central Plains will not only be difficult to stop, but will also spread to all states and counties in the world.

Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region.

If you want to dominate the world, you can't just focus on the city and place in front of you.

The reason why Zhuge Liang is so powerful is because he sees far enough.

Longzhong is right, he has three parts of the world, his vision is unique, and he is really powerful.

However, Zhou Cheng was assisted by Jia Xu, who had the talent of Zhang Liang, and also planned a route for Zhou Cheng to conquer the world.

Therefore, whether it is the emperor of Luoyang or Tao Qian of Xuzhou, they are just bait.

They will only exacerbate the chaos in the Central Plains.

As long as the battlefield is in the Central Plains, even if it spreads to Jizhou, Zhou Cheng will still make money.

Because the flames of war did not reach beyond the Great Wall, Zhou Cheng could safely hoard food and produce people. As time went by, he became stronger.
