As far as Liu Biao is concerned, he has been gathering troops since the completion of the alliance with Cao Cao's envoy Dong Zhao, and when he learned that Cao Cao and Sun Ce led a large army to contain Liu Bei's defenders in Nanyang, Liu Biao gathered troops in Xiangyang!

The soldiers in Xiangyang really belong to Liu Biao, and they will only obey Liu Biao alone, and the soldiers who were assembled before are the soldiers who have gathered in various counties to go to battle with them!

The 150,000 troops that Liu Biao fought this time were actually 80,000 of the allied troops of various counties, and 70,000 were Liu Biao's headquarters. And the generals Huang Zu, Cai Mao, and Cai He also went to battle with the army!

Liu Biao did not choose to send troops from Guiyang County to attack Cangwu County, but considered not to fight Yuan Shu too early, so he chose to attack Yulin County from Wuling County and Lingling County in two ways!

However, Zhu Fu of Yulin County also led his troops to resist Xi Zhong at this time, and acted secretly, causing He Ting to lead an army of 20,000 to flee to Hepu County!

And Zhu Fu learned that at this time he led an army of 50,000 to pursue and Ting, and at this time, Liu Biao led an army of 150,000 into Yulin County, and the 50,000 troops arranged by Zhu Fu in Yulin County also fled to Zhu Fu when they saw this.

Therefore, the entire Yulin County was taken by Liu Biao and Zhu Fu without fighting, Liu Biao occupied the north of Yulin County, and Zhu Fu occupied the south of Yulin County!

In fact, at this moment, Liu Bei's concentration of 170,000 troops may be able to easily counterattack Yulin County, but Liu Bei missed this opportunity!

If Liu Bei attacks Zhu Fu first with the advantage of 170,000 troops and a number of generals, after Zhu Fu is destroyed, he will counterattack Liu Biao, although it will be a cruel battle, but there is still a chance to win!

Besides, after Zhu Fu and Liu Biao divided half of Yulin County, Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue as an envoy to Zhu Fu!

After Kuai Yue arrived in Zhu Fu's army, Zhu Fu personally received Kuai Yue.

"What is the matter with Xenomorph here? I am the pastor of Jiaozhou, what is the reason why your lord Liu Biao privately led the army to capture my Jiaozhou? ”

"Zhu Jiaozhou, this statement is fallacious, my lord was summoned by the Son of Heaven to assist Zhu Jiaozhou in expelling Xi Zhong, because my lord did not lead a large army for no reason.

And this time, I came to discuss with Zhu Jiaozhou how to enter Xizhong and divide Jiaozhou! Kuai Yue said without fear!

Zhu Fu was a little unhappy when he heard this, and then said: "Divide and conquer Jiaozhou? I am the pastor of Jiaozhou, how can I divide Jiaozhou with you? ”

"Zhu Zhoumu is too worried, this is just in wartime, when he is at war with Xizhong, how can my lord naturally discuss the withdrawal of troops with Zhu Zhoumu after the war!

Now the main force of Xizhong is in Jiaozhi County, while Hepu County and Cangwu County have 30,000 and 40,000 troops respectively.

If Zhu Zhoumu is willing, he can lead an army of 100,000 to attack Cangwu County, and my lord is responsible for dividing the troops into two routes, all the way to attack Hepu County, all the way to attack Jiaozhi County, and only need to take Hepu, Jiaozhi, and Cangwu County.

Then the state is all in the hands of my lord and Zhu Zhoumu, and then how to discuss how to distribute and withdraw the troops? Kuai Yue said eloquently.

Of course Zhu Fu didn't believe it, Zhu Fu at this time already knew that he was played by Cao Cao this time and used as a gun by Cao Cao, but at this time, the situation was stronger than people, and Zhu Fu couldn't afford to have other ideas!

If Zhu Fu does not agree at this time, Liu Biao will either start a war with Zhu Fu and lead the troops back to Jingzhou, and no matter what, Zhu Fu will definitely be defeated, so at this time, Zhu Fu is quite distressed!

Of course, Zhu Fu has another choice, that is, to surrender Xi Zhong, but whether Xi Zhong accepts it or not is not something that Zhu Fu can be sure!

After thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "Since your lord Liu Biao is here to help me expel Xizhong, it is naturally good, but it is not impossible for me to have an army of 100,000 to attack Cangwu County, and I need to give me troops in Bushan, Zhongtao, and Guilin counties of Yulin County!" ”

When Kuai Yue heard it, he was secretly happy, and then agreed: "This is natural, Zhu Zhou Mu is the pastor of Jiaozhou, no matter where he wants to Jiaozhou, he should be!" ”

After that, Zhu Fu led the army to garrison Bushan, Zhongtao and Guilin, while the rest of the counties were occupied by Yuan Shao.

Subsequently, Yuan Shao led 150,000 troops to be stationed in Linchen and Guang'an, and the two armies gathered only a hundred miles, which can be used as horns for each other! At the same time, it echoes with Zhu Fu!

Its purpose is to guard against the 30,000 remnants of Heting in Hepu County and the 100,000 troops in Jiaozhi County! At the same time, he ordered Jingzhou in the rear to mobilize another 100,000 troops into Jiaozhou, preparing to attack Jiaozhi County to the west!

Jingzhou, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, did not receive the impact of war, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, and the Liangzhou Rebellion, the people of the northern states migrated to the south in order to avoid the war.

An example is Nanyang County in Jingzhou, which has increased from 1.44 million to more than 2 million, while the population of Lingling County, Changsha County, and Guiyang County in Jingzhou has also exceeded the million mark, and Nanjun has less than 2 million.

In this way, although Liu Biao did not occupy all of Jingzhou, nor did he use all the troops, he could easily recruit 400,000 troops!

It's just that it is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has no war horses, so the combat power of the soldiers is not strong, and Jingzhou's internal instability is unstable, so it is unable to expand!

What's more, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yizhou around Jingzhou are all populous states, but Jiaozhou has a small population, but the roads are difficult and there are too many mountains!

When Kuai Yue sent Zhu Fu, Liu Bei had not yet arrived in Zhuya Prefecture, and the war came too quickly, and He Ting failed to get the first-hand information of Yulin County, so Liu Bei missed the opportunity to counterattack in vain!

When Zhu Fu was preparing everything and preparing to attack Cangwu County, Yuan Shu basically ended the battle in Nanhai County!

Compared with Liu Biao's ease, Yuan Shu is more difficult, although Wei Chizhan is only a second-rate top or first-class general, but at least he has led many coalition armies, so the strength of the army is not bad.

Although there were only 50,000 troops, it added a lot of trouble to Yuan Shu in the early stage, especially relying on the high mountains in Nanhai County, and there were several ambushes!

In the end, after several battles, Yuan Shu annihilated Wei Chizhan's 30,000 army at the cost of 50,000 troops! And forced Wei Chi Zhan to withdraw from Nanhai County!

Then Yuan Shu spent half a month occupying the counties of Nanhai County and arranging officials. For the battle with Wei Chi, Yuan Shu also deeply understood the combat power of Jiaozhou's soldiers, so he once again mobilized 50,000 troops from Yangzhou to enter Jiaozhou, leaving only 100,000 troops to garrison Yangzhou!

After capturing Nanhai County, Yuan Shu was also extremely excited, and through Dong Zhao's previous envoy, Yuan Shu knew that this time he was attacking Jiaozhou with Liu Biao.

This time he sent troops to Jiaozhou, Yuan Shu's goal was to take Nanhai County, Cangwu County, Hepu County and Zhuya Prefecture, so Yuan Shu also urgently needed to have an accident Liu Biao divided the territory and then divided the troops to attack!

However, because Wei Chizhan was blocked in Cangwu County, it was difficult for the scouts to pass Liu Biao's news, and Yuan Shu was quite helpless about this!

However, even so, it did not affect Yuan Shu's mood, and on this day, Yuan Shu's entire civil and military forces discussed how to enter Nanyang.

"Lord, according to the previous detailed report, there should be at least 200,000 troops in the entire Jiaozhou, but for some reason, Xi Zhong previously mobilized 100,000 troops to Jiaozhi County, so the lord has a chance!

It's just that now that the war has begun, Xi Zhong will inevitably send a large army back to help, so if you want to fight Cangwu, you need to fight quickly, and I'm afraid there will be trouble if it's late! Yan Xiang opened his mouth and said to Yuan Shu.

"Although Xizhong has an army of 100,000 in Jiaozhi, Liu Biao is not a vegetarian, at this time Liu Biao must have occupied Yulin County, so Xizhong's 100,000 army will inevitably confront Liu Biao.

The second is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the lord, and the lord's hundreds of thousands of troops only need to face tens of thousands of troops! Therefore, the lord should use the army at this time to be stable! Yang Hong opened his mouth and put forward a different suggestion!

At this time, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong were both dissatisfied with one and quarreled on the side, while Yuan Shu enjoyed the quarrel between the two strategists under his command. For the time of half a pillar of incense, Yuan Shu stopped:

"The two military advisors have gained a reason, but I am worried about Liu Biao, if Liu Biao also attacks Cangwu County, it is not what I want to see, so this time the army should be based on speed.

Pass my order, rest for a day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will personally lead an army of 130,000 to continue to attack Cangwu County in the west! ”
