After Zhang He and Gao Ran led their troops to Xuzhou, they were dispatched by Gao Cang, and the three major legions added up to a total of 110,000 troops.

Such a large-scale troop movement of the Zhong army naturally could not hide from the Guan Hai and Wu Anguo who were guarding Qingzhou, and Guan Hai and the few people also reacted quickly after knowing the transfer of troops and horses of the Zhong army, and the 40,000 army suppressed Donghai County and began to confront the Zhong army in Donghai County.

After Gao Cang led his troops to Donghai County, he did not immediately attack the Han army, after all, this Guan Hai and Wu Anguo were not weak, although Gao Cang was confident that he would crush the Han army in Xuzhou with a large army under his command, but if he wanted to achieve better results, then the casualties of the Battle of Xuzhou could not go up, otherwise even if he had the opportunity, he would not be able to achieve his goal.

Therefore, in order to be able to achieve victory with minimal casualties, Gao Cang must make a good arrangement before the battle.

In the camp of the Zhong Army, in the main tent, Gao Cang, Zhao Yan, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xu Ding, Xing Daorong, Niu Jin and others are all surrounded by a sand table, this sand table is also very large, it is the terrain sand table of Xuzhou, Gao Cang has guarded Xuzhou for the past two years, and it is not that he has done nothing, this sand table is the last production of the intelligence that the scouts under his command desperately probed out.

Although the Black Moon Tower will also provide combat sand tables for the major legions, those things that are not their own after all, and they are not very handy to use, so Gao Cang will rely on his own strength to create such a sand table.

At this moment, on the sand table, there are two-color flags planted on it, representing the golden flag of Dazhong and the red flag representing Dahan.

Gao Cang's eyebrows revealed a look of perseverance, looked at the sand table in front of him, and asked Zhao Yan beside him: "Bo Ran, the Han army now has 40,000 troops, this is the soldiers and horses they can use to the limit, although Guan Hai and Wu Anguo have good strength, but to be honest, I am not worried about the victory of this battle, but how to take Xuzhou at the lowest cost, only if the casualties are not large, we can plot Qingzhou after taking Xuzhou." ”

Zhao Yan, who joined the army of the Third Legion, and was also the military advisor of the 110,000 Zhong Army this time, looking at the sand table, Zhao Yan frowned, and said: "The East China Sea was originally the territory of the Mi family, for so many years, Mi Zhu has also been sitting in the East China Sea, but the East China Sea has been built well, and now if the Han army is willing to fight with us out of the city, it will be able to defeat it smoothly, but if the Han army sticks to the city, we will be very uncomfortable, and the losses will be great." ”

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhao Yan continued: "So what we need to do now is to force the Han army to fight with us out of the city, only outside the city, can we rely on the superiority of troops to win a big victory." ”

Gao Cang looked at the sand table and frowned a little: "Guan Hai, Wu Anguo, and Mi Zhu, which one is not weak, in the case of weak troops, will they go out of the city to fight?" ”

"Donghai County is governed by Tan County, which is also the place where the Han army gathers on a large scale today, the Han army in Xuzhou has a total of 40,000 horses, I estimate that there are at least 30,000 people in Tan County now, now we will enter Tan County first, see if we can force the Han army out of the city to fight, if the Han army insists on sticking to Tan County, then we are making calculations."

Gao Cang nodded, and then ordered: "The army is out and attack, Tan County!" ”

Guan Hai and Wu Anguo are the army stationed in Tan County, and after the Zhong army killed all the way to Tan County, Wu Anguo was angry, led his troops to attack, and defeated Niu Jin, the vanguard of the Zhong army, but later when Wu Anguo took advantage of the situation to pursue, it fell into Zhao Yan's calculations, Zhang He personally shot and defeated Wu Anguo, but unfortunately failed to kill Wu Anguo, so that Wu Anguo led more than a thousand remnants to flee back to Tan County.

After Wu Anguo fled back from defeat, Guan Hai and Mi Zhu were also reluctant to go out of the city again, and led their troops to defend Tanxian, and at the same time sent envoys to Linzi to ask Liu Bei for help.

In the palace of the Han Dynasty in Linzi, when Liu Bei received a letter of help from Xuzhou, he also had a headache, because a few days ago, a very tragic war broke out between Jizhou and Youzhou.

After Liu Bei became king, Guan Yu was in Jizhou, Zhao Yun was in Youzhou, Guan Hai and Wu Anguo were in Xuzhou, and Zhang Fei and Shi Ci stayed in Qingzhou.

A few days ago, Youzhou was the first to send a battle report, Yan Wang Yuan Tan with Lu Yi as the main general, Tian Feng as the military division, led Han Meng, Gao Gan, Zhu Ling, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other generals, killed to Youbeiping, Youzhou is Zhao Yun, Tian Yu, Shan Jing, Yan Gang and others, the two sides launched a big war in Youbeiping.

Although Zhao Yun is a powerhouse in the Xuan Transformation Realm, and is also in charge of an elite army like Baima Yicong, the Yan army directly dispatched Chen Xiao and Lu Yi, two strong men, and killed all the way, Chen Xiao pinned down Zhao Yun, and Lu Yi led the lead to the death of the soldiers as the vanguard, and in several battles, they all defeated the Han army led by Zhao Yun.

In the current situation in Youzhou, the Han army is at a disadvantage, and it can hold on for the time being. The most dangerous is the Jizhou battlefield.

In Jizhou, Zhang Liao, the general of Zhao State, personally attacked, with Cao Xing as the vanguard, and fought with Guan Yu several times in Jizhou, and the strength shown by Zhang Liao in this battle undoubtedly reached the Xuan Transformation Realm.

After the change of heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth increased, which also led to the improvement of the cultivation of many powerhouses who were originally trapped in the Ning Gang Realm for various reasons, and correspondingly, the powerhouses of the Xuanxuan Transformation Realm in the world also increased.

Zhang Liao is not only a strong man, but also a famous general, in the confrontation with Guan Yu, sent Cao Xuan to lead the troops to sneak attack Guan Yu's rear grain and grass, directly made Guan Yu's Han army food and grass tight, in desperation, Guan Yu had to withdraw his troops and return to the Bohai Sea. In such a situation, Zhang Liao pursued all the way and killed him to the Bohai Sea.

After receiving the letter asking for help, Liu Bei immediately summoned Meng Fang, Sun Qian, Guan Jing and Zhuge Liang to discuss the matter. After discussing for a long time, Liu Bei sent his general Zhang Fei, with Sun Qian as his military advisor, to lead 20,000 troops to support Xuzhou. At the same time, Tai Shici, who had just broken through to the Xuan Change Realm, led 20,000 troops, with Meng Fang as his military advisor, to Bohai County, Jizhou, to support Guan Yu.

As for Zhao Yun in Youzhou, including Tian Yu, Shan Jing, and Yan Gang, they were all once Gongsun Zhan's generals, and they were quite prestigious in Youzhou, and they should be able to resist the offensive of Liyi, and first solve the Zhao army and the Zhong army, and then deal with the Yan army. This is the strategy discussed by Liu Bei and others.

After getting Liu Bei's order, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici led their troops out, this year, the history books of later generations called it the second year of the kings, and the year when the seven kings were kings was the first year of the kings, and it was not until the world was unified that the year of the kings ended.
