Zhang Yu set off and set off for Liaodong with a large fleet.

This time, Zhang Yu took a few wives with him.

His wife Xiang Xin must go, and Mrs. Mi and Cai Yan also go over, and of course Zhang Ning.

took the four of them and took them to Liaodong, which showed Zhang Yu's determination, and Xiang Xin, as his wife, went to Liaodong, which could also boost morale.

In mid-February, Zhang Yu and his team arrived in Liaodong.

At this time, the ice and snow were still there, and there was no major war.

Zhang Yu asked Xiang Xin and the others to stay in Liaodong, which was warmer here, and Zhang Yu took Dian Wei directly to Shenyang City.

At this time, the city of Shenyang had been preparing for war, and the grain in the city was piled up one warehouse after another, and the timber was piled up directly under the city wall and other open spaces.

Their war supplies are enough to hold for more than a year.

After Zhang Yu summoned the generals, he began to understand the situation.

(I'm sorry, I forgot about Xi Zhicai when I wrote it, and I have been ignoring Xi Zhicai, so I apologize here, so I will directly let him appear in the ranks of Liaodong.) ）

Guo Jia reported and said: "Lord, now that we have faced Yuan Shao directly, we must fight sooner or later, but at this time Gongsun Chan is still holding on, but Gongsun Chan is in a county, and it can't last a long time." ”

Zhang Yu asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

Xi Zhicai stood up and said: "My lord, my subordinates suggested that I take the initiative to send troops to attack Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao will fall into a two-sided battle." ”

Xi Zhicai's suggestion was agreed by everyone, sooner or later he would fight with Yuan Shao, at this time Gongsun Chan was still there, it was the most favorable time, and when Yuan Shao killed Gongsun Chan, then Yuan Shao would be able to mobilize more troops.

"Okay, in that case, let's take the lead in igniting the flames of war." Zhang Yu made a decision.

However, this is not the best time to go to war, because Youzhou is still covered with ice and snow.

"Before the war, we must reorganize the army, Evil Lai, Zilong, Hansheng, you three expand the soldiers and horses, each legion is 50,000 people. Ziyi and Wen Yuan did the same, expanding the soldiers and horses, establishing a legion, five legions with a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses, and the garrison of Shenyang City remained unchanged. ”

As soon as Zhang Yu opened his mouth, he formed 350,000 soldiers and horses.

But now for Liaodong, 350,000 soldiers and horses are nothing.

Zhang Yu has five counties, including Liaodong, Liaoxi, Xuansu, Lelang, and Daifang County, and the population is also very large, and there is nothing to raise an army of 350,000.

After the reorganization, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici were still infantry, and Zhang Yu couldn't afford to raise so many cavalry.

However, Huang Zhong's army was not easy to manage, because he was a heavy cavalryman, and the requirements for horses and soldiers were very high.

However, Zhang Yu set a goal of 50,000 for him, and he could recruit as much as he could, but he would rather lack than abuse.

Together with Dian Wei and Zhao Yun's cavalry, there are a total of 150,000 cavalry, which is already a huge force.

The army on the Youzhou side began to undergo an intense reorganization.

The recruitment and training of the army is very simple, directly from some of the garrison armies, and from the militia, and it can be formed quickly.

It was the trouble point of Huang Zhong's army, and after a few days, there was still a huge shortage of soldiers and horses.

But that's not a big deal, although it's troublesome, but with a strong mobilization, it is possible to recruit enough soldiers.

Preparations for war were urgent, and all kinds of supplies were gathered in the war zone.

After a month of preparation, Zhang Yu and his team mobilized more than 100,000 troops and a large number of supplies.

At this time, it is already the middle of March (this article is the lunar calendar), the snow is no longer falling, and the snow has melted in many places.

Zhang Yu began to count troops.

"In this battle, all five of my legions will attack, and we must defeat the enemy with one blow, and it is best to annihilate the enemy's army." Zhang Yu said.

The following generals are excited, they were born to fight, and now that the war is imminent, they are naturally excited.

They were excited, Zhang Yu was equally excited, how long had it been since they had "expanded their territory".

After the preparations were completed, the army was quietly assembled, and Zhang Yu's target was Changli County, which was in the middle of Liaodong and Liaoxi.

In order to compromise, Gongsun Chan gave up Liaoxi County, and Liaodong and Liaoxi were separated by Changli County, which was originally Gongsun Zan to restrain Zhang Yu's nail, but now it has become Yuan Shao's nail, and more than 100,000 troops are stationed in it.

Part of Zhang Yu's army was transported by boat, directly in Liaoxi County, while part of it quietly moved to the border of Liaodong County, ready to surprise at any time.

Five-way people, except for Huang Zhong's men and horses, who are not fully staffed, the rest of the soldiers and horses are already full.

After a few days of layout, the people have arrived at the designated location.

At this time, Yuan Shao also sent people to start encircling and suppressing Gongsun Zhan.

Yes, in terms of encirclement and suppression, at this time, except for a part of the north that was not surrounded, all other directions of Gongsun Chan were surrounded by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was not unguarded against Zhang Yu, and annexed hundreds of thousands in Changli County in order to prevent Zhang Yu from interfering.

"The army is ready, then act according to the plan, and we can't let this Yuan army run away." Zhang Yu said.

The army began to move, one set off from Liaoxi at the agreed time, while Zhang Yu set out from Liaodong with 50,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry.

In addition, Huang Zhong also followed him all the way, but he was dozens of miles away and walked in concealment.

This time, Zhang Yu divided the soldiers and horses into two roads, in order to advance quickly and destroy Yuan Jun before he could react.

The soldiers and horses were deployed in place, and Zhang Yu led people to attack.

There were not many soldiers and horses on the border, Zhang Yu asked Dian Wei to attack, and after breaking through their defenses, he did not hide his whereabouts, and pushed directly towards the camp of the Yuan army.

Yuan Jun soon received the news and then shrunk his forces.

Gao Ran was very nervous in Changli County, and he immediately gathered his troops and horses after receiving the news.

"Immediately send multiple heralds to inform the lord, and send police to other counties." Gao Ran ordered.

Zhang Yu sent more than 100,000 soldiers and horses this time, and their soldiers and horses in Changli County were only 100,000.

Gao Ran is quite wise.

But he didn't know that Zhang Yu was bright and dark this time, and the other way, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's 100,000 soldiers and horses had been quietly hidden on the border, ready to pounce at any time.

Yes, it was to pounce, ready to ambush the army that rushed to support.

Zhang Yu attacked all the way, and soon killed under Changli City.

Zhang Yu besieged Changli County.

"General Gao Ran, you have been surrounded, it is better to surrender, you and I will save trouble." After Zhang Yu arrived, he shouted to the city.

Gao Ran came out and scolded Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was not angry, the two sides were just fighting and taking advantage, Zhang Yu just wanted to put pressure on Gao Ran.

Zhang Yu surrounded three sides and did not attack immediately, but let the army encamp.
