In the Xuzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion in Xiapi City, Yuan Shu is in the main position, on the left is Yan Xiang, Xun Yue, Zhao Yan, Chen Deng and other ministers, and on the right is Ji Ling, Xu Chu, Gao Cang, Xu Ding and other military generals.

Yesterday, when Yuan Shu led his troops to break through Xiapi City, Liu Bei led his troops to kill and intervened, but in the end he was still defeated by Yuan Shu and drove Liu Bei out of Jizhou, but even if Yuan Shu's side arranged the golden blood cavalry outside Xiapi City in advance, cutting off Liu Beijun's retreat, Liu Bei was not able to stay. Under the charge of the golden blood cavalry, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei brothers joined forces to fight a bloody road, took most of Liu Bei's soldiers away, and retreated in the direction of Donghai County.

After Liu Bei retreated, Yuan Shu did not keep pursuing, after all, he had just taken Xiapi and had not yet fully controlled Xiapi City, and Xuzhou Mu's seal ribbon was taken away by Mi Zhu, which was also a problem and needed to be measured well. And now Liu Bei can no longer pose any threat to Xiapi, and Yuan Shu is unwilling to fight with Liu Bei.

A day later, with the help of Chen Denghe and many families in Xiapi City, who had long been willing to take refuge in Yuan Shu, Xiapi City finally stabilized, although there were still many scoundrels who took the opportunity to make trouble, and small problems continued, but the big problems were basically eliminated.

Yuan Shu's gaze swept over the group of civil and military officers in front of him, and finally landed on Yan Xiang, and asked, "Zixuan, Zang Hong is coming?" ”

Yan Xiang replied: "My lord, Zang Hong has arrived in the starry night, and it will take another day to arrive in Xiapi City. ”

"Good!" Yuan Shu nodded and said, "Gao Cang, after Zang Hong came, you led 10,000 troops to attack Guangling with him, and sent Sun Jian back to Jiangdong for me, is it possible?" ”

Gao Cang clenched his fists and said, "The last general will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Gao Cang himself is fond of fighting, this time in Xiapi City, he has fought with top powerhouses such as Xi Zhicai, Sun Jian, Zhang Fei, Wu Anguo, Guan Hai, etc., which makes Gao Cang feel that the bottleneck that has plagued him for many years seems to be a sign of a breakthrough, which makes Gao Cang ecstatic, you know, he has stayed in the middle of the Ning Gang Realm for a long time, and now after several fierce battles, he found that this bottleneck has signs of loosening, which naturally makes Gao Cang want to have a few more battles to promote the breakthrough of his cultivation.

Although Yuan Shu's side has a Xu Chu's strength firmly above Gao Cang, the battle between Gao Cang and Xu Chu can only be regarded as a competition, not a life-and-death fight, so naturally Gao Cang cannot break through with his strength.

Gao Cang and Zhang Fei were defeated in the end, which also made Gao Cang breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, of course, Gao Cang also understood that Zhang Fei was able to stabilize himself by virtue of his cultivation that was deeper than his own, as long as he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, and when the time came, he would definitely be able to pull himself and Zhang Fei to the same level with the power of the bloodline phantom and the law of blood transformation.

That is to say, as long as there is a breakthrough in cultivation, Gao Cang is confident that he will fight with Zhang Fei again, and once Zhang Fei is unable to stabilize Gao Cang in cultivation, the victory or defeat between the two sides depends on the strength of each other's means.

At this time, when he heard that Yuan Shu asked him to expel the Jiangdong Army, Gao Cang was overjoyed in his heart, although Sun Jian's cultivation was not as good as himself, but with the Holy Weapon Ancient Ingot Knife, he could fight with himself, maybe he would be able to understand this time. It's just that the last time the Jiangdong Army retreated, Sun Jian seemed to be injured, I don't know how the injury was at this time, I hope to recover one or two, it's better to be boring.

Yuan Shu naturally didn't know what Gao Cang was thinking at this time, the reason why he let Gao Cang and Zang Hong attack together to expel the Jiangdong Army was just because at this time, Yuan Shu's Gao Cang could be said to be the second strongest, second only to Xu Chu, and the strength of the Jiangdong Army was not weak, so it was more secure for Gao Cang and Zang Hong to attack together.

Guangling was originally Zhang Chao's territory, and later Zhang Xuan aided Zhang Miao to send troops to Yuzhou, but was defeated by Yuan Yao, Zhang Chao died in battle, Zang Hong was captured, and Guangling became a borderless land. A few days ago, the Jiangdong army did not withdraw from Xuzhou after retreating from Xiapi, but entrenched in Guangling, obviously because of the thief's heart and still coveted Xuzhou.

Yuan Shu took Xiapi City this time, and the next thing to do was to mobilize troops against the counties of Xuzhou, and the first target he chose was Guangling County.

Choosing Guangling County can expel the Jiangdong Army from Xuzhou and drive it back to Jiangdong, so as to prevent Sun Jian from interfering in the next battle in Xuzhou, and let him out first; Second, when Zhang Chao was appointed as the Taishou of Guangling, Guangling affairs were basically handled by Zang Hong, and Zang Hong also had a lot of prestige in Guangling, and with Zang Hong's move, it was much easier to take Guangling County than other counties. Xuzhou has Langya, Donghai, Xiapi, Pengcheng, Guangling five counties of land, now Langya is occupied by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the East China Sea is Liu Bei, Pengcheng is Cao Cao, Xiapi is now Yuan Shu's territory, Guangling has Sun Jian entrenched. If Guangling can be taken, Yuan Shu can concentrate on conspiring to seize the three counties of Langya, Pengcheng and Donghai without worries.

Although the existence of Zang Hong can give Yuan Shu a head start in seizing Guangling County, but Zang Hong is a subordinate after all, and now although Yuan Shu has surrendered to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu still has some doubts about Zang Hong, so he will send Gao Cang out, with Gao Cang, if Zang Hong does not have two hearts, then everything is easy to say, and even if there is any idea with Gao Cang, it is enough to suppress it.

After assigning Gao Cang a task, Yuan Shu asked Gao Cang to go down and order good soldiers and horses, and only waited for Zang Hong to send troops to Guangling as soon as he arrived.

After Gao Cang went down, Yuan Shu said again: "Yuanlong and Zhongyu, you two are now trying to find a way to contact the families in Pengcheng and the East China Sea to see if you can provide some help when we attack these two counties." ”

"No!"

Chen Deng and Xun Yue stood up at this time to answer the order, both of them are members of the family, Chen Deng's Xiapi Chen family has been entrenched in Xuzhou for many years, and most of the families in Xuzhou have contacts, and with the current Yuan Shu in Xuzhou, presumably most of the families in Xuzhou will not fight against Yuan Shu even if they do not tie themselves to the warship of Yuan Shu.

It's a bit troublesome in Donghai County, although the Mi family is a businessman, but they have been entrenched in the East China Sea for many years and have strong power, so it may be a little difficult in this county. But Pengcheng County is still no problem, Pengcheng is now entrenched by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao went on a killing spree after entering Xuzhou, so that many families in Xuzhou are in danger, Chen Deng and Xun Yue both believe that as long as they release the news, without their effort, many families in Pengcheng County will take the initiative to come to the door.

Yuan Shu had a smile in his eyes at this time, this attack on Xiapi could be said to be a complete victory, as long as it continued like this, it wouldn't be long before Xuzhou would fall into his hands.
