After the destruction of the Qi State, Yuan Shu could be said to be isolated in the Central Plains. In line with the relationship that everyone is an ally, Sun Ce will also support him with some materials and equipment, but the troops are powerless.

At this moment, Luo Guo is dealing with Shanyue in an all-round way, and at the same time, he is also trying to make contact with Wuximan, and there is no extra force to go north. Relatively speaking, if the two barbarians can be subdued, then the strength of the Luo Kingdom will inevitably rise to a new height.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo Guo has completely abandoned Jiangbei and built Jiangnan in an all-round way.

The Han army entered Xuzhou, Zhang Fei was in charge of the guard, and Lü Bu continued to fight guerrilla warfare with Yuan Shu on the frontal battlefield...... Of course, Zhang Fei himself couldn't be idle, and he planned to run over to help privately several times, but was stopped by Zhao Yun.

..................No matter what Zhang Fei said, Zhao Yun just took him back silently, and then stared at him expressionlessly. In the end, Zhang Fei, who consciously took care of his losses, finally admitted his cowardice and obediently guarded Xuzhou.

Besides, it's not that there is nothing to do at all, it's only Zhang Chaobu who has been destroyed, in fact, Que Xuan, Zhenrong and Zang Babu are still cruising in Xuzhou, but the approximate location is already known, and it can be swept a little.

"It's almost winter, it seems that Yuan Shu has given up, right?" Lu Bu is also advancing little by little according to Xu Shu's original suggestion, and in a blink of an eye, Jiujiang County has been taken down.

This means that Yuan Shu only has the territory of Runan County and Lujiang County left.

After the winter, even if you plan to continue fighting, you will have to face more brutal conditions. After all, everyone launched an attack around the autumn harvest, and they didn't know if Yuan Shu had prepared the clothes for the winter.

If not, Yuan Jun's soldiers are estimated to be more difficult in winter.

"General, are we going to push forward?" Zhang Liao stepped forward to ask, and if he continued, he might be able to occupy at least a few more counties in Runan before it became completely cold.

It has no practical effect, but it can continue to squeeze Yuan Shu's range of motion. On Yuan Shu's side, there are at least thirty or fifty thousand troops, that is, scattered all over the place, if it is a gathering action, it is too easy to find.

"The advance is definitely going to advance, but it is not ...... from here" Lu Bu pointed to his feet, this is Dangtu in Jiujiang County, and it is also where their main force is stationed.

Chenjun's side has been garrisoned by other generals, such as Yu Ban and Le Jin, such as Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian. On the Jiujiang side, there are actually 5,000 soldiers. After deducting Lu Bu, Xu Shu and Zhang Liaobu, the rest are Cheng Lian and Cao Xing.

"The three of you stay and guard, after Zhang Fei gets it done, he will also send someone over to assist, maybe he himself will come over to join in the fun." Lu Bu said slowly, "Yuan Zhi and I went to Runan, cooperated with the other four departments of Chen County, and squeezed them on both sides. Until the weather is too cold to be good, at least the whole of Runan must be controlled. ”

In this way, the front line will advance further, at least there is no need to worry about the defenders of Jiujiang County, who may be attacked on their backs. Besides, there is a Jiujiang County or something between Runan County and Lujiang County, which feels weird.

"General, the target is tens of thousands of troops!" Zhang Liao is still very worried.

If the defenders of Chenjun are assembled, then thousands of troops will be fine. The problem is that Lu Bu only went north with 2,000 soldiers and horses, and if he encountered a complete interception by the enemy, then there would be a big problem.

"Haha, even if there are tens of thousands, it's nothing more than a bunch of local chickens and dogs!" Lu Bu laughed, disapproving.

It's not just because of the relationship with the scroll, but the combat power on Yuan Shu's side, he really doesn't care about it. If Yuan Shu was really that powerful, he would not still be fighting guerrillas, harassing him from time to time, but he didn't dare to confront him head-on.

If it continues, those magistrates in Runan County will probably not be able to bear it and come forward to betray Yuan Shu.

"On the contrary, be careful on your side, after all, I don't have a scroll to leave for you. Yuan Shu may have 10,000 or 20,000 people in Lujiang, and if necessary, he will go north to raid. Our soldiers are naturally not afraid of them, and even without the blessing of spells, they will fight head-on, and it will not be a problem to fight three or three, but we still have to be careful that the other party will use tricks. Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao.

"Although this general can rest assured, the last general will not fight a battle that he is not sure of." Zhang Liao hurriedly replied.

"When you're not sure but you have to fight, you have to bite the bullet for me!" Lu Bu scolded with a smile.

"Of course, the men of the state are never afraid to go into battle to kill the enemy!" Zhang Liao said with a smile, although everyone is from different counties, they are all from the merger state, according to the faction, Zhang Liao is strictly speaking the merge state system.

It's just that he was transferred to Guan Yu by Liu Tao very early, so he has the label of Liu Tao's lineage.

After having this label, Lu Bu did not get too close to Zhang Liao, so as not to cause Liu Tao to misunderstand. However, both of them are from Bingzhou, and they are half of the same countrymen, and in many things, Zhang Liao will help him say a few words appropriately.

But in terms of right and wrong, he must be on Liu Tao's side, after all, Zhang Liao is such a person.

After arranging the defense, Lu Bu also began to set off. Now that Jiujiang County has temporarily entered a state of military management, Zhang Liao is not only responsible for local military affairs, but also responsible for local government affairs and public security.

Originally, Lu Bu was also responsible for these things, and the latter went north at the moment, perhaps because he also felt that this thing had a headache, so he simply left it to Zhang Liao to deal with. This question was only a few days later before Zhang Liao reacted......

"General, there is news from Xiyang, and the county commander over there has sent someone over, indicating that a large army of the Yuan Shu Department is stationed in that area." On the third day of the march, the scouts came to report to Lu Bu.

"We killed from Shenxian to Ruyin, and we only came to tell the ......whistle at this time" Lu Bu was a little disdainful, after all, their next target was Xiyang.

According to Xu Shu's analysis, at least the main force of the enemy army should also be active around the Pingyu range. Unexpectedly, on the side of Xiyang, there was actually a large army gathering.

"Maybe it was a deliberate attempt to draw us over to the decisive battle, after all, we only have two thousand men on our side, and they are all cavalry. As long as you set up a reasonable terrain and restrict the movement of cavalry, it will be easy to deal with! Xu Shu reminded.

"Of course it's possible, it's even very possible. Ben will personally come over to serve as a bait, and if the other party doesn't come to fight, then there is no need to fight! Lu Bu said casually.

He went north this time, using him as a bait to attract Yuan Shu's main force to come over, and then the main force from Chen Jun's side quickly occupied the territory to the south. When Yuan Shu reacted, it was estimated that the huge territory in the northern part of Runan County had been occupied by them.

"So how are we going to fight? Or don't fight? Xu Shu asked.

"Hit it, know the terrain well, and fight when you should fight!" Of course, Lu Bu was not afraid of anything, "Do you know what the enemy's greatest weakness is?" That is, now under Yuan Shu's command, there is not an excellent general who can handle it, and there is not an excellent strategist! Otherwise, you wouldn't have really been attracted to me as a bait! ”

The stratagmies of third-rate characters and the soldiers who dominate them, why be afraid?
