"Lord, look at the map!"

Chen Deng pointed to the map on the desk and said loudly: "Xuzhou is located in the center of Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou. Yuan Chang, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north were at war, no matter which side won, the north was pacified, and now although Yuzhou is terra nullius, once Yuan Chang and their tripartite war is over, Yuzhou will inevitably fall into their hands. At that time, the lord's Xuzhou is the first place they want to capture, and Xuzhou has no natural dangers available, once it falls into the quagmire of war, whether it wins or loses, it is not a good thing for the lord. Therefore, now the only way to take advantage of the tripartite battle between Yuan Chang and them is to take Yangzhou in one go, use Yangzhou as a springboard, and then go south to occupy the land of Jiangdong, and enter Jingzhou in the west, with Jingzhou and Yangzhou elite soldiers, they are fearless. In addition, the people of Jingzhou and Jiangdong are good at water, and once a war starts, the lord can send a naval army to march from the sea to deter Qingzhou, Jizhou and other important towns in the north.

Chen Deng's ability cannot be compared with Wolong Zhuge Liang, so Chen Deng can only see the benefits of occupying Jiangdong and Jingzhou, but he can't put forward a proposal to occupy Yizhou.

"Yuanlong's words are very good!"

For Chen Deng's proposal, Liu Bei was quite satisfied. However, after hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "It's just that Jingzhou is under the jurisdiction of Liu Jingsheng, the clan of the Han family, how can I bear to seize its inheritance." ”

It has been a long time since he took refuge in Liu Bei, and Chen Deng naturally understood Liu Bei's thoughts. Liu Bei is an ambitious person, maybe he doesn't have the ambition of Gaozu Liu Bang and Emperor Wu Liu Che, but at least he has the ambition of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, saying that Liu Biao is a member of the Han family and can't bear to seize his foundation, but in fact, because Liu Bei started by fame, if he seized Liu Biao's territory for no reason, then the reputation he worked so hard to build in the past will not be guaranteed. In Liu Bei's heart, the territory and soldiers can be without, but the reputation is indispensable, speaking of which, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao are somewhat similar, and they both care about their reputation.

Therefore, Chen Deng understood that Liu Bei's mind was not forced, he thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and said: "Lord, if it is inappropriate to seize Liu Jingsheng's foundation for no reason, then, if Liu Jingsheng sends troops to help and rebel, the lord does not need to worry, and he can be justifiably a teacher." ”

"This..."

Liu Bei had a look of hesitation on his face, but his heart moved. If Yuan Shu is defeated by Liu Bei, he will not ask Liu Biao in Jingzhou for help, and it is naturally possible to do this kind of thing with Yuan Shu's personality. In history, Yuan Shu looked down on Yuan Shao very much, and after being beaten and crying for his mother, he did not ask Yuan Shao for help, and expressed his willingness to give up his throne to Yuan Shao. Now, Yuan Shao is at war with Yuan Chang and Cao Cao, and naturally rescues Yuan Shu flawlessly, so Yuan Shu has only one way to ask Liu Biao in Jingzhou for help.

After all, Liu Bei still has to nod his face, and he can't agree so simply, otherwise wouldn't he tell everyone that he has the idea of plotting Liu Biao's family business, although knowledgeable people know it, but Liu Bei still has to keep this archway.

"Putting aside the affairs of Jingzhou for the time being, the top priority now is to crusade against the rebellious Yuan Shu..."

Saying that, Liu Bei's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "The generals listen to the order, the Benzhou Pastor appoints Chen Deng as my Xuzhou military division, and the order of the military division is my order, but if there are those who do not obey, the military law will be engaged! The military division and the prime minister of the three armies, rectify the soldiers and horses, hoard grain and grass, choose the day to send troops, and crusade against Yuan Shu, this battle can only be won and not defeated!"

"Only win, not lose!"

"Whoa!"

Looking at the emotional crowd below, Liu Bei was also full of ambition in his heart, and seemed to see the prospect of dominating the world and ascending to the throne!

…

Yi County, when Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, has been established for nearly 500 years. Yi County, as a town in the border area, is quite prosperous, however, since Huan Ling, the world has been in turmoil, and the northern aliens continue to harass the border, and the Yi County, which was originally used as a border trade, is now also a little dilapidated, and the population of the entire city is only tens of thousands, compared with the original population of hundreds of thousands, it can be said that it is extremely withered.

After more than ten days of marching, Zhao Yun and Yu Ban's two lines of soldiers and horses also arrived at Yi County at the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou, and crossed the Great Wall to the west of Yi County, which was to enter the territory of Bingzhou. Therefore, Zhao Yun and Yu Ban stationed a large army outside the city of Yi County, repaired for two days and then set off, once they entered the territory of Bingzhou, I am afraid that there will be no time to rest.

When Qin Shi Huang was unified, the early days of the Great Wall were not the territory of the Qin Dynasty, so the Great Wall was built to resist foreign races, and the later period of the state also became the territory of the Central Plains, so there was no need to strengthen the Great Wall. The Great Wall at the junction of Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou and the north has been repaired by the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and its solidity is naturally incomprehensible. Therefore, even if Bingzhou sent troops and horses to garrison, Zhao Yun and Yu Ban didn't have to worry too much.

"Report, Commander Zhao, Yanmen County is too guarded and stationed 10,000 soldiers and horses on the Great Wall. ”

When he arrived in Yi County, Zhao Yun sent scouts to the Great Wall to inquire about the news, and after the camp was completed, the spies also brought the news back.

"Okay, you go down and rest!"

After Zhao Yun sent away the scouts, he sat back in his place, looked at Yuan Chang who was in the main seat, and said: "Chairman of the committee, it is said that this Yanmen County is too guarded by Gao Yuan to be a brother of the Gao Gan clan, and the reason why Gao Gan arranged Gao Yuan in such a bitter cold place as Yanmen County is to facilitate trade with foreign races in the north. Therefore, my Youzhou and other places have been repeatedly invaded by foreign races in the north, but such things have never happened in the land of Youzhou. ”

"Humph!"

Yuan Chang snorted coldly and said slightly angrily: "For the sake of profit, Gao Gan and others do not hesitate to sell the things forbidden in my Central Plains to the northern alien races, so that the people of my Central Plains have repeatedly suffered from the scourge of the northern alien race, and these people are extremely evil and unforgivable. After the state is taken and annexed, the matter should be thoroughly investigated, but no one should let go of anyone who is found to be in collusion with the foreign races in the north. ”

On weekdays, Yuan Chang's temperament is still very lenient, and he is not very strict with some crimes. However, he will never be lenient for this crime of betraying the interests of the nation and the state. The reason why the Central Plains has suffered so many times is precisely because of the existence of this kind of person, which occupies a large part of the reason.

"Yes!"

The people present would not disobey Yuan Chang's orders, and besides, they also hated this kind of behavior, and there was no reason to forgive.

"Political Commissar Guo, Political Commissar Xu, it is up to you to strengthen the spiritual civilization of the soldiers, and this matter cannot be ignored. ”

Yuan Chang looked at the other two, naturally Guo Jia and Xu Shu. Guo Jia and Xu Shu were the political commissars of Yu Ban and Zhao Yun respectively, and they were also responsible for the functions of military advisors. As a socialist successor who grew up under the red flag, Yuan Changke understood the role played by the political commissar very well, and it can be said that the political commissar played an indelible role in the battles with the Japanese people. Therefore, Yuan Chang arranged a political commissar for each army, and originally five political commissars were required for the five routes, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Pang Tong and Chen Gong, who were more suitable as political commissars and military advisors. And Xun Chen and Dong Zhao's talents are mainly in the ruling area, and they are a little worse in making suggestions, so they thought of reluctantly appointing one, but who knew that before the army set off, Lu Su actually came to take refuge.

That's right, it is Lu Su, known as the good man of the Three Kingdoms, the humble and gentlemanly Lu Su. Therefore, the position of the fifth political commissar and military advisor was directly thrown to Lu Su, and he was arranged in Tai Shici's army. As a newcomer who has just taken refuge, he can get such a heavy responsibility, Lu Su was very moved, and vowed to repay him.

"Yes, we should obey the chairman's orders!"

Xu Shu responded to Yuan Chang's request with a straight face, after all, Yuan Chang emphasized it many times, which shows that Yuan Chang attaches great importance to this matter. As for Guo Jia, he seems to be a little unhappy, if it is not for Yuan Chang's forced arrangement, Guo Jia prefers an idle life, but with such a big man in the stall, Guo Jia can only accept his fate.

After some arrangement, everyone dispersed, and after two days of repair, the army marched again, and in half a day, the army came under the Great Wall at the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou.

Originally, Zhao Yun just wanted to attack tentatively and try the situation of the enemy army. Who knows, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses attacked, the enemy army on the Great Wall was defeated, and there were no casualties at all across the first line of defense of Youzhou and Bingzhou, in the face of such a situation, everyone was a little stunned.

Later, after the scout came with the news, everyone knew the reason.

It turned out that nearly half of the 10,000 soldiers stationed on the Great Wall were servants and guards brought by the children of the Gaogan family. Seeing the murderous attack of the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, the children of the Gaogan family were immediately frightened, and fled with their servants and guards without saying a word, and the other soldiers also fled when they saw this, so the previous situation appeared.

"Not to mention trading with foreign races and betraying the interests of the Central Plains, in order to develop his own family, he arranged his children in such a critical place, and such people must not stay. ”

Don't talk about Yuan Chang, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others all think that people like Gao Gan will be killed.

It was so easy to invade the territory of the state, which made people feel so unreal. However, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia and others are experienced after all, and they did not hesitate at all, and immediately waved their troops to keep up, and most of the cities they passed along the way were garrisoned by the children of high-ranking families. In addition to making people laugh and cry, this is also the case of making people hate the behavior of high-ranking cadres; if there is an invasion by foreign races from the north, how can such a person be able to hold on? Therefore, as long as there are children of high-ranking cadres who trade with other races and oppress the common people, those who are serious will be beheaded for public display; those who are a little less serious are also directly thrown to labor camps, but some of them who do nothing are only demoted to civilian people.

In this way, in just ten days, the entire Yanmen County fell into the hands of Youzhou, except for the Yanmen City, which governed the place, and the two remote cities of Mayi and Sangqian. As for the two cities of Mayi and Sangqian, after Zhao Yun sent a cavalry of 5,000, the children of the high-ranking cadres who were responsible for defending the city also immediately abandoned the city and fled.

Yanmen City is too guarded

Yanmen County is too high and far away to gather a group of officials and generals, with a look of fear on their faces, and said: "Everyone, now that Youzhou Yuan Chang has invaded Bingzhou, its troops are strong, and no one can stop it, and now in the entire Yanmen County, only the city we are in has not fallen into the hands of the enemy, I don't know if you have a good strategy?"

"The enemy is strong, how is this good?"

"Or, we will also abandon the city and flee to Taiyuan?"

"Yes, yes, the soldiers and horses in Youzhou are strong, how can the soldiers and horses in the city be able to stop it, Gao Taishou, I should make plans as soon as possible." ”

The officials and generals of the entire Yanmen County are all relatives of high-ranking families, or people from good families, most of them come to gild, to say that they have the ability, it can be said that there is no one, hearing that the Youzhou soldiers are so strong, where do they have the mind to resist, the first thought is to abandon the city and flee, and they have never thought of resisting. Moreover, many of the children of the Gaogan family have been beheaded, and they have also received news, where are they willing to stay in the city.

"No!"

While everyone was discussing, a general stood up, only to see that he was in his thirties, full of momentum, and said with a straight face: "The governor of Jizhou has already ordered to let all places hold the city, and the Jizhou pastor also has an order to repel the soldiers and horses of Youzhou, how can he flee without a fight now, if so, how to explain to the two governors?"

"This..."

The general's words made everyone hesitate for a moment, but after all, his own life was paramount, and soon someone stood up and shouted: "Captain Zhang, now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, how can we match them? If there are reinforcements, we should hold on to the city, but the governor has already ordered that all the soldiers and horses in the city will resist, and most of the soldiers and horses have been recruited into Taiyuan City, so we will not be able to wait here for death?"

"That's right, who is not born to a mother, is it possible that the people in Taiyuan City are more noble than us, they can't die, we should die, there is no reason for this?"

"Exactly, since the soldiers and horses have gathered in Taiyuan City, then we will also bring the soldiers and horses of Yanmen to Taiyuan City, wouldn't it be better to strengthen the defense of Taiyuan City, it is much better than sacrificing here in vain. ”

"That's right, that's right!"

Some people took the lead, and the rest of the people spoke out in support, 100,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Taiyuan City, and it can be said that nearly half of the soldiers and horses in each county were transferred, some of them were in Taiyuan City, and some of them were naturally in Huguan. This is also why Yanmen City, as the seat of Yanmen County, is only garrisoned by 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"Gao Taishou, what is your opinion?"

The general didn't pay attention to the clamor of others, but turned his gaze to Gao Yuan, after all, it was Gao Yuan who could really call the shots. As long as Gao Yuan orders to hold the city, who dares to disobey.

"Captain Zhang, I think what you said is reasonable, we should abandon the city..."

"Sonorous..."

It's just that before Gao Yuan's words were finished, Captain Zhang had already pulled out the long knife on his waist, and the cold light flashed, and Gao Yuan was already in a different place. The sudden change made everyone present stunned.
