Cao Cao led the army from Wancheng, went north along the Feishui River, crossed the Feishui River again, entered Yangcheng, and turned northeast to Yingchuan.

Yingchuan is almost 'empty' now.

Due to successive years of war, the county town was deserted. The young and middle-aged people in the village, with their families and families, either fled to Jingxiang or fled to the southwest and took refuge in Yizhou.

If you really don’t want to leave your hometown, you can hide in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, after Cao Cao entered Yingchuan, the place he passed was deserted.

Not even a wild dog could be seen on the road.

The fields were overgrown with weeds, and the houses encountered were even more dilapidated.

Yingchuan used to be so prosperous.

The talented scholar from Yingchuan is famous all over the world.

Today's Yingchuan makes Xun Yu and other Yingchuan people unable to bear to look at it.

Cao Ren urged:"Speed ​​up!"

This time when he went north to fight against the Zhou army going south, Cao Cao brought a large amount of food, grass and baggage.

Yuan Shu had a criminal record, and Cao Cao was afraid that Yuan Shu would kill him because of the lack of food and grass.

However, Cao Cao had fewer cattle and horses. At this time, he could only rely on manpower to push the cart.

The civilian men forcibly recruited from Wancheng now acted as oxen and horses, pushing the vehicles forward under the urging and even whipping of the soldiers.

Cao Cao's army numbered more than 50,000, and the number of civilians reached 100,000.

Fifteen thousand people eat horse chews every day, which consumes an astonishing amount of food and grass.

However, Cao Cao also had other preparations.

If the Anti-Zhou Dynasty can win this time, they will stay in Yanzhou and regain control of Yanzhou.

……

At the same time, Liu Bei also led his troops and horses and marched quickly.

Unlike Cao Cao, Liu Bei did not bring a lot of food and grass this time.

This battle was led by Liu Qi. Liu Qi was Liu Biao's eldest son. Would Liu Biao still cheat his own son?

With Liu Qi here, the supply of food, grass and baggage will definitely be solved.

Along the way, Liu Qing also frequently got close to Liu Bei.

Chen Gong, Jian Yong and others all saw that Liu Qi was deliberately trying to get closer to Liu Bei.

No matter what, Liu Bei is still a member of the Liu family and can be relied on.

What's more, Liu Bei also has two fierce heroes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

With Liu Bei's help, Liu Qi will be more confident this time.

Liu Bei was also happy to welcome Liu Qi's proactive approach.

Liu Qi is the eldest son of Liu Biao. If the order of eldest son and youngest son is followed, Liu Qi will inherit Jingzhou in the future.

Liu Bei needs Liu Qi, and Liu Qi also needs Liu Bei. The relationship between the two has improved day by day, and Liu Qi frequently consults Liu Bei on military and political matters.

And Liu Bei also tried his best to answer Liu Qi's questions, which benefited Liu Qi a lot and made him more dependent on Liu Bei.

……

Yuan Shu led his army and horses and set out from Shouchun at the very end.

This time, Yuan Shu personally led the army.

Among the princes in the south, Yuan Shu has the most soldiers and supplies.

Therefore, Yuan Shu sent 100,000 troops for this battle.

Among them, Yuzhou sent 30,000 troops, Xuzhou sent 20,000 troops, Yanzhou sent 20,000 troops, and Yangzhou sent 30,000 troops.

Therefore, in fact, when Yuan Shu set out from Shouchun, he only led an army of 30,000 men.

The military horses from Yuzhou and the military horses from Xuzhou will gradually approach and join.

As for grain and grass, Yuan Shu also recruited grain and grass and young people from Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and Yangzhou.

The advantage of a vast territory and large population was realized at this time.

However, Yuan Shu's advance was very slow.

He was not in a hurry to rush to Yanzhou. He marched every day during the day and set up camp to rest at night.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, it is simply more than a little bit slower.

At this time, a scout came to Yan Xiang.

Later, Yan Xiang reported:"My lord, Sun Jian has encountered Xu Gongming's troops. Xu Gongming rushed to Sun Jian's rear and burned his food, grass and baggage."

Although Sun Ce was good at fighting, Sun Jian used Sun Ce as the vanguard to stop Xu Huang.

However, Xu Huang took advantage of Yanzhou's flat and open terrain and used cavalry to agitate and penetrate. Not only did he leave Sun Ce behind, but he also bypassed Sun Jian's large army, inserted directly into Sun Jian's rear, and attacked Sun Jian's grain, grass and baggage.

Now if Sun Jian continues to march, he must rely on Yuan Shu to provide food, grass and baggage.

Sun Jian has also put forward demands in this regard.

Yuan Shu snorted contemptuously:"You are a reckless man."

Afterwards, Yuan Shu ordered the scouts in the army to strengthen the investigation, but still did not speed up the march.

As for the supplies of grain, grass and baggage, they were not replenished according to Sun Jian's request.

Sun Jian could only station the large army in place while raising food, grass and baggage.

……

The military flag with the character Sun flying in the air.

Inside Sun Ce’s tent

"hateful!"

Sun Ce beat the wine case angrily.

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others were silent.

They can only be described as cowards now.

Xu Huang's cavalry simply ignored them and passed by them, but they It was impossible to catch up.

As a result, Xu Huang's cavalry was divided into two groups. One group attracted Sun Ce and Sun Jian's attention from the front, and the other small group of cavalry rushed to the rear.

They burned the grain, grass and baggage that Sun Jian's army had stored in the rear.
