Just when Huangfu Song led his troops to fight in Xingyang, Liu Xie, who was far away in Guide, looked at where the sand table stood and pondered.

Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie, who was contemplative, and asked tentatively: Your Highness, is there anything worrying?

Liu Xie heard Guo Jia's voice, turned his head, looked at Guo Jia, sighed and said: The current situation is very unfavorable for us, the Yellow Turban Army is attacking from all sides, and we only have three soldiers and horses, so we can't cope with it at all. After Liu Xie finished speaking, he pointed to the sand table and said: Yan Liang took 10,000 soldiers, went out of the continent, and took the entire territory of the continent.

Wen Chou took 10,000 soldiers and went out of Youzhou to take the entire territory of Youzhou.

Zhang He took 10,000 soldiers out of Qingzhou and took the entire territory of Qingzhou.

Leng Bud took 10,000 soldiers, went out of Yanzhou, and took the entire territory of Yanzhou,

Zhang Bao took 10,000 soldiers out of Xuzhou and took the whole territory of Xuzhou.

Zhang Liang took 10,000 soldiers, went out of Yuzhou, and took the whole territory of Yuzhou.

Guan Hai took 10,000 soldiers and went out of Jingzhou to take the entire territory of Jingzhou

And now we are mainly distributed in Yuzhou, Jizhou and Jingzhou. Even if we sent Sun Jian to Yangzhou. However, Sun Jian of Yangzhou wanted to clean up the troops, and it would take a long time for the troops to set off. So we now have at least five continents, and we can't take care of it, so we can only let the Yellow Turban Army wreak havoc in the local area, and we have no way at all.

Guo Jia, who was standing in front of the sand table, listened to Liu Xie's words, and his heart was also full of worries. He and Liu Xie had no doubts about the final victory of the war. However, it may take much longer than originally anticipated. And right now, what they lack most is time. According to intelligence, the barbarians of the northern steppes are already ready to move. The war between the Central Plains and the northern barbarians is not far off, and there is not a lot of time left for them.

Guo Jia and Liu Xie stood together and looked at the sand table, silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Guo Jia pointed to the direction of Youzhou on the sand table, looked at Liu Xie and shouted: Your Highness, Youzhou.

Liu Xie heard Guo Jia's cry and also shifted his gaze to the direction of Youzhou. Looking at Youzhou, Liu Xie thought of the order that Ma Teng from Liangzhou led the team south some time ago, and the order he gave Ma Teng was to go south from Youzhou along the Great Wall. The Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou can just be cleaned up by Ma Teng.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie directly ordered the herald beside him: Order Ma Teng, let Ma Teng sweep the Yellow Turban Army in Qingyouzhou first, and then go south. The herald said yes and hurried down to give the order.

Liu Xie watched the herald leave the big tent. Only then did he turn his head to look at Guo Jia and smiled: It seems that Lone is not a qualified commander of the army, and in the face of the Yellow Turban Army's attacks everywhere, Lone is actually in a mess. I forgot what kind of army Ma Teng had. After the Yellow Turban Army was pacified, Lone still stayed in the capital and did a good job of logistics.

Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie with a lost face, and he didn't know how to comfort him, and deep in Guo Jia's heart, he really hoped that Liu Xie could stay in the capital. Don't go to the front lines of the war lightly. Now Liu Xie himself can realize this, to be honest, Guo Jia has some joy in his heart. So he didn't plan to persuade Liu Xie.

However, Liu Xie's heart was strong enough, and after a while, he returned to his original confident appearance. looked at Guo Jia and said directly: Fengxiao, our army is going to change its combat thinking. We can't just go and join Lu Zhi. Since our army has more than 10,000 people, and all of them are elite and strong generals, then we must shoulder the responsibility of our army. I decided to march out of Yanzhou in a big way. Chase the cold bud. After killing Leng Bud here, we went to Jizhou, met Lu Zhi, and had a decisive battle with Zhang Jiao.

Guo Jia listened carefully to Liu Xie's decision, thinking that Leng Bao's army no longer had much strength, and the most important thing was to go out on the expedition of the crown prince. You can't get nothing at all, and it's not good for commanding the army. Guo Jia nodded and agreed.

Liu Xie saw Guo Jia nodding, and directly ordered the sergeant outside the big tent and said: The army will pull out the camp and go to Neihuang.

According to the intelligence, after the rout, Leng Bao's army was defeated all the way to Neihuang and gained a firm foothold. Moreover, in Neihuang, he killed people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil. The locals have been crying for a long time. The army went just in time to relieve the people of the Han Dynasty and the crisis.

And the main reason why Liu Xie and Guo Jia made up their minds to encircle and suppress Leng Bao was because Lu Zhi's war in Jizhou was not going well. Zhang Jiao ordered the Yellow Turban Army to strictly guard every city, and if Lu Zhi's army wanted to advance, it could only pull out the nails on the road step by step. And now that Lu Zhi's army is resting, even if they rush over quickly, the impact on the overall situation of the war is not too great, it is better to solve Leng Bud first to join Lu Zhi.

At the same time that Liu Xie gave Ma Teng's military order, Ma Teng, who was far away in Youzhou, was running into Wen Chou, who came to Youzhou on the order of Zhang Jiao to expand his territory.

It's also a coincidence. Just when Ma Teng led the army through Youzhou to prepare to go south, at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, Fan Yang met Wen Chou, who had just come to Youzhou on the order of Zhang Jiao, and the scouts on both sides found each other's identities at the first time, and under the report to their respective commanders, Ma Teng and Wen Chou made the same choice, and the army stopped advancing and waited for further orders. And Ma Teng led a group of generals to discuss the current situation.

Ma Teng looked at the generals under his command and asked with a serious face: Thirty miles ahead, there are 10,000 horses of the Yellow Turban Army to intercept us, and it is estimated that their purpose is to prevent us from going to the Central Plains and participating in the counterinsurgency.

Ma Teng's son Ma Chao listened to Ma Teng's words, and jumped up directly and said: Father, this is not good, this time our army went south, under the orders of the imperial court and the prince, just with his 10,000 soldiers, he also wanted to stop the pace of my 20,000 cavalry army, are they here to be funny? After saying that, there was a burst of laughter. The rest of the generals under Ma Teng's command also burst out laughing when they heard Ma Chao's words.

However, in anyone's opinion, this battle has been won before it has been fought, no matter from which point of view, in terms of numbers, Ma Teng and they have 20,000 elite soldiers, while the Yellow Turban Army only has more than 10,000 soldiers who have become an army in a hurry, not in terms of numbers, but in terms of training, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are far inferior to them. The main thing is that the 20,000 people on their side are cavalry, while the 10,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army are foot soldiers. For the cavalry, a charge can reach the distance, and for the foot soldiers, the distance of thirty miles requires them to walk for half a day.

Therefore, in the eyes of the generals under Ma Teng, this battle has been won before it has been fought. They also have a lot of incomprehension about how Ma Teng summoned the generals to discuss the matter with great fanfare, at this time, shouldn't they rush forward directly while the Yellow Turban Army is not firmly established?

There were only a few generals who grasped Ma Teng's thoughts, and they secretly guessed that Ma Teng might have some other thoughts in his heart.

And Ma Teng looked at the general in front of him, and really thought about the war in the Central Plains
