"Zilong, you go to Xianbei, let Tie Ye San and Xiong Bai prepare five thousand cavalry each."

Zhao Hui was already ready to fight Yuan Shao.

In the past two years, Xianbei has been relatively calm and has recovered a little.

But the entire ethnic group did not exceed 200,000 in number. Among them, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 young men.

The Iron Leaf Tribe and the Green Bear Tribe are already the two strongest tribes in Xianbei.

But these two tribes now have only twenty or thirty thousand people, and there are only four or five thousand men over the age of fifteen and under the age of forty.

Whether it is the Iron Leaf or the Green Bear Tribe, they want to form a cavalry of 5,000 people. Their own tribe was not numerous enough and had to be recruited from other small tribes.

Zhao Hui was ready to fight Yuan Shao, whether it was to ensure his own strength or not to have any worries, it was a good choice for him to recruit troops from Xianbei.

The Xianbei cavalry can be formed separately and separated from the soldiers and horses of Zhao Hui's headquarters.

Use them to harass Yuan Shao's army, or plunder Yuan Shao's grain and grass.

Zhao Hui didn't want to use them yet, and directly fought head-on with Yuan Shao's army.

Not only Xianbei, but Cheng Yuanzhi, as the captain of the Karasuma Guard, also had to recruit 10,000 Karasuma cavalry in Karasuma to participate in this war with Yuan Shao.

Cheng Yuanzhi planted wheat in the field cultivated by Karasuma, and now it is almost ripe and can be harvested in a month.

At this time, Zhao Hui recruited the Xianbei Karasuma people to prevent some of them from being greedy and coming to grab food.

Now the people of Xianbei Karasuma are not having an easy life.

Zhao Hui asked for someone from Xianbei Karasuma, of course, it was not for nothing, and he would give three stones of food according to a person's head.

Their treatment was definitely not comparable to those soldiers in Zhao Hui's hands.

Three stones of grain, only more than 100 catties. With the cattle and sheep in their hands, it is almost enough for a family to survive a winter.

So whether it is Karasuma or Xianbei, there is not much disgust with Zhao Hui's recruitment of them.

It's just three stones of grain, and it obviously doesn't completely fall into the hands of those who answer the call.

How much was detained by Tie Ye San and Xiong Bai.

Although Zhao Hui knew, he didn't care about them.

As long as the cavalry promised to be in place, Zhao Hui would not care about the affairs of their tribe.

Tie Ye Sanxiong Bai was greedy enough, and it was easier for Zhao Hui to control them.

And these grains they withhold, Zhao Hui can also poke them out when necessary, making them the target of public criticism, so that they cannot gain a foothold in Xianbei. Zhao Hui can easily support other tribes.

Cheng Yuanzhi is in Karasuma and already has a certain prestige.

Now the leaders of the Karasuma tribe were already three points shorter when they saw Cheng Yuanzhi.

In the two years that Cheng Yuanzhi has been in Karasuma, he has not made Karasuma strong, but it has made Karasuma's people live a little better than before.

In the past two years, there have been hundreds of tribes in Karasuma, and none of them have been annexed except for their own extinction.

The tribes were at peace with each other, and no war was waged.

The economy was backward, and there was no war to accumulate wealth, so the various Karasuma tribes have always been like this, and it is difficult for them to develop.

Now Xianbei Karasuma has always been under Zhao Hui's gaze, unless they are willing to fully integrate into the Han, otherwise they can only be at the mercy of Zhao Hui all the time. It has always been divided, and there can never be a reunification.

Liaodong, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang are also preparing.

In the past few years, Goguryeo in Liaodong has also been scared by Pei Yuanshao's Guan Hai.

Now that Liu Yu is in charge of Liaodong, it is enough.

Leaving enough troops, the two took a warship, followed the coast from Liaodong, landed in Liaoxi, and rushed back to Jicheng all the way.

In the past few years, the two of them have also grown a lot in Liaodong, and even Guan Hai, who was a little impulsive in Chong, has become more stable.

Although their strength is not as good as that of Taishi Cidian Wei Zhaoyun, they are also indispensable middle-level generals.

There are many things that need to be carried out by them.

and state, Tai Shici also received instructions from Zhao Hui.

The soldiers on the front line of the Great Wall did not move, and they were guarded by Pei Yuanshao.

Tai Shici personally led an army of 50,000 and entered Shangdang County.

Although Bingzhou and Jizhou are adjacent to each other, there is a Taihang Mountain Range in the middle.

If Tai Shi Ci wanted to attack Jizhou, he could only enter Shangdang County, bypass Taihang Mountain, and attack from the southwest from the junction of Jizhou and Yanzhou.

In the battle with Yuan Shao, hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible for them all to gather in one place and fight to the death.

Joining forces in one place is not good for Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui's troops were no less than Yuan Shao's.

He can divide his troops into multiple ways to contain Yuan Shao from each other.

Whichever side has an advantage, the main attack is taken, while the other side is on the defensive, or slightly slowed down.

Zhao Hui did not let Zhang Wangliao Hua come back from Qingzhou. Instead, they used warships to send them a batch of grain and grass.

Before, Zhao Hui didn't care much about the nail behind Yuan Shao.

But now that he is ready to attack, if he can leave this nail, Zhao Hui will naturally not give up easily.

Zhao Hui's strategic policy has now been basically determined.

The main force, led by Zhao Hui himself, moved south from Youzhou and approached Changshan.

The second army, led by Tai Shi Ci, set out from Shangdang County, passed through Hanoi County, and attacked Wei County from the southwest of Jizhou.

The third part is to look at Liao Hua's troops in Qingzhou to contain and interfere with Yuan Shao.

Three battlefields, one north, one east, and one southwest. Completely encompass Yuan Shao's territory.

For Zhao Hui, it is offensive and defensible.

Even if the war is lost, he can easily go back.

As for Yuan Shao, if he retreats, he can only retreat into Yanzhou.

And now Lü Bu and Cao Cao are fighting for Yanzhou.

And it was also because of Lu Bu and Cao Cao that Zhao Hui chose to fight with Yuan Shao at this time.

If you continue to stay in Youzhou, then Yanzhou will inevitably eventually fall into the hands of Cao Cao.

Rather than fighting Yuan Shao at that time, it is better to start now.

This time, for Zhao Hui, what he wants to see most is that he defeats Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu defeats Cao Cao. Kick these two out first.

As for the back, what is the relationship between him and Lu Bu and Yuan Shuhui, he is talking at that time.

And the last thing Zhao Hui wanted to see was that he failed to defeat Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao.

Then his large-scale attack on Jizhou this time is purely consuming his strength.

Zhao Hui did not give Lu Bu other support, but at this time, he mobilized troops and horses on a large scale to fight Yuan Shao, which was the greatest support for Lu Bu.

So that Lu Bu can not worry about Yuan Shao, and can rest assured that he and Cao Cao can compete for control of Yanzhou.

On Cao Cao's way back to Xuzhou, Xiahoudun still lost Puyang.

Lü Bu was going to attack Zhengcheng, because Cao Cao's wife and children were in Zhengcheng, Xiahoudun was worried about the loss, so he led his troops to support, but halfway through, he was defeated by Lü Bu's ambush. Lü Bu took advantage of the situation to seize Puyang.

At this time, in the entire Yanzhou, there were only three cities left, which were still holding on and did not surrender to Lu Bu.
