Chapter 1253: Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's Worries

"Although the number of troops under the command of the lord is large, it cannot be called elite soldiers, and the soldiers and horses of the three parties meet in one place, more for training the soldiers, so that the soldiers can be more calm and unhurried in the face of war, which is also a great test for the generals of the various departments." Guo Jiadao.

Chen Tian understood when he heard this.

"After this officer leads the troops away, Youzhou will rely on Lord Chen and General Chen Zhi." Guo Jia said slowly.

Chen Tian said with a smile: "The military advisor is too worried, but now Youzhou is stable, there is no war, and only three thousand troops need to be left." ”

"Don't take it lightly, Youzhou seems to be stable, but secretly the family has a lot of rejection of the lord, if they know that Youzhou is empty, it is difficult to guarantee that they will have other ideas." Guo Jiadao.

Chen Tian nodded, his heart was vigilant, as Youzhou Mu, the burden on his body is still very heavy, especially in the two places of Liaoxi and Liaodong, Liaoxi has been war-torn for a long time, and there are a lot of thieves and thieves in Liaodong, Liaodong is the place where the Gongsun family has been operating for many years, although Gongsun Du was defeated and killed, there are still many people who secretly want to restore the rule of the Gongsun family, the first is the family of Liaodong, the gradual implementation of the Youzhou policy, so that the strength of the family has been seriously damaged, These people, who usually regard the interests of their families as more important than anything else, can imagine what kind of thoughts they will have, but they dare not make any changes because of the strength of the Youzhou Army.

Youzhou's territory is long and narrow, and it is not easy to manage, before Liaodong had Zhang Liao's three thousand iron cavalry guards, but no one dared to make trouble, but now Zhang Liao has become the main general in the Jizhou army, which will inevitably make these families breed other ideas.

Chen Zhi is still a little disappointed that he can't lead the troops to Jizhou, and now Chen Zhi is in charge of the strong crossbow army, and he is also a famous figure under Lu Bu, but Chen Zhi is not willing to get such a credit, he wants to have a greater achievement, under Lu Bu, the pressure of competition is very great, there is no doubt about this, how many generals want to achieve a career, and if they want to stand out from it, they need to make more efforts, which is recognized by the generals in the army.

After agreeing with the generals in the army to send troops, the Youzhou army came towards Jizhou, and along the way, the officers and soldiers of each department showed outstanding discipline and did not commit any offense to the people.

The most worried about the mobilization of troops and horses in Youzhou, grassland, and Bingzhou was Yuan Shao, who did not expect that less than a year had passed, and Lu Bu had another expedition, and the first thing that appeared in the minds of Yuan Shao and others was the word "reckless and reckless".

However, compared to Jizhou, Youzhou and other places, Qingzhou's situation is the worst, although the number of Qingzhou's army has surged to 60,000 at this time, compared with the original Qingzhou army, the number of towns is doubled, but Yuan Shao understands that if this army competes with the Bingzhou army, there will be more defeats and fewer victories.

After a series of wars in Qingzhou, there are less than two million people in it, and it is extremely difficult to support more troops.

Conscription of 60,000 soldiers can be said to be the limit of Qingzhou at this time.

"Lord, now the troops and horses under Lu Bu's command are frequently mobilized, and even the Xianbei army on the grassland has been dispatched, so I have to guard against it." Feng Ji's tone was full of worry.

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "If Lu Bu attacks Qingzhou at such a time, then Qingzhou will be in danger." ”

"When an envoy was sent to Yanzhou again to persuade Cao Cao that if Lü Bu attacked Qingzhou, the two sides would form an alliance and advance and retreat together, with the city as a backing, and the state army would not want to break Qingzhou." Feng Ji Dao.

"That's right." Yuan Shaodao.

Alliances are sometimes fragile, and after having enough interests, the so-called allies will become enemies of life and death in the blink of an eye, and this kind of thing is even more common.

Not only Qingzhou, Cao Cao also felt urgency after learning the news of the transfer of troops and horses from all sides, and it can be seen from the movements of these armies that Lu Bu has a move to attack Qingzhou or Yanzhou.

Dongjun is divided into two parts for the Yellow River, one of which is north of the Yellow River, if the army under Lü Bu takes advantage of the situation to capture it, in the face of Lü Bu in the future, Yanzhou will be more passive.

"Lord, although my subordinates don't understand what Lu Bu means by this move, but the Bingzhou army does not have the power to attack at this time, and the soldiers under his command have just been recruited and trained, and after the battle of last year, there must not be much grain and grass, and this year, Lu Bu has moved millions of people from Bingzhou to the land of Sanfu, which consumes a lot." Xun Yu analyzed.

"It can't be taken by common sense, Lu Bu marches to fight, does not stick to the rules and regulations, it is extremely difficult to deal with, and although the state has experienced war, there are not a few losses of baggage, Lu Bu has secretly hoarded a lot of grain and grass over the years, and the princes thought that it was extremely difficult for Lu Bu to attack Liangzhou's Ma Teng, but Lu Bu drove Ma Chao out of Liangzhou with the Chang'an army that had just been formed for three months, and Ma Teng was defeated and died." Cao Cao said.

"In this way, when the fierce general is sent to the East County to guard." Xun Yu said: "At the beginning, there were a lot of soldiers in the Chang'an army, otherwise even if it was the Marquis of Jin, he would not have thought of defeating Ma Chao so easily." ”

The Liangzhou Army is one of the strongest armies in the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo relied on the Liangzhou Army to run rampant in the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao's rule is not stable, this is Xun Yu's most worried place, Xuzhou as a rich state and county, but it is turbulent, when Cao Cao led the army to attack and the state, Zang Ba seized Xiapi, caused a lot of damage to Xuzhou, if Xuzhou is stable, then Cao Cao will have more energy to expand the territory.

Although Zang Ba chose to take refuge under the edge of Cao's army, the battle of Xuzhou was extremely large in terms of the amount of grain, grass and baggage, and since Cao Cao took charge of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, the wars experienced were too frequent, which caused fatigue under his rule.

"My lord, the Dahan newspaper said that the transfer of soldiers and horses under the rule of the Marquis of Jin this time is for training, I am afraid it is not true, otherwise, why did the soldiers and horses from all over the country go to Jizhou to transfer, this kind of training method, subordinates have not heard of it before." Xun Yu Dao.

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully, this is also what he is most worried about, this kind of training method, as long as it is a slightly wise person, will not choose, the transfer of the army means that a lot of grain and grass are consumed in vain, judging from the movement of the army under Lu Bu, it is clear that the baggage is also transported, giving people the feeling that they are dealing with the war.

"Order Cao Ren to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Yangping to resist Lu Bu's army, if Lu Bu's army has no intention of attacking Boping, don't provoke." Cao Cao ordered.

"Whoa." Xun Yu arched his hand.
