In mid-June 194 AD, Liu Wei officially launched an army to attack Cao Cao, and the troops were directed at Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is located in Ancheng, under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County, Chen County, Runan County, Qian County, Yiyang County, Yang'an County, Xiangcheng County, Ruyin County, nine counties, as well as Liang and Peiguo, a total of nine counties, two countries 97 counties.

"Your Majesty, now that General Zilong's army is going first, I'm afraid it's already in Luoyang at this time."

During the march of the army, Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei and said.

Liu Wei nodded, and what he asked Zhao Yun's army to do first was to ensure that the army could pass through Sizhou in advance.

From Sizhou to Yuzhou, if you go directly south, you can capture the land of Yuzhou from Wancheng, and if you go north, you can reach the famous Guandu place.

"After Zilong arrives in Luoyang, he can occupy Xingyang, and at that time, whether it is going north to Guandu or south to Yingchuan, he will occupy a favorable position." Liu Wei looked at Xi Zhicai and nodded and said.

Sun Ce and Lu Bu will send troops together in Shouchun, although they will jointly raise troops to fight against Cao Cao, but this time it is not a place where the soldiers are united.

"Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao and the like, and the people under him are not ordinary people, I am afraid that this battle cannot be easily ended."

After listening to Liu Wei's words, Xi Zhicai also agreed and said.

It is precisely because of this that it is necessary to march from Sizhou to occupy the geographical advantage of Xingyang, and when the time comes, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

A few days later, Liu Wei led the army through Hanoi to Luoyang.

It has been a few years since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang, but looking at Luoyang at this time, Liu Wei felt that the goal was still only dilapidated.

The original palatial palace has long since lived up to its existence.

Now Luoyang is in ruins, and the people are miserable, which is why he, even if he can regain control of Luoyang, he will not re-establish the capital here at this time.

"Your Majesty, in front of you is General Xu Huang."

When the army came to Luoyang City, Xu Huang had already led his headquarters to meet him outside Luoyang City.

"Why is General Xu here? What about Zilong? Xi Zhicai looked at Xu Huang and asked.

It stands to reason that Xu Huang and Zhao Yun went to the army together, why did Xu Huang stay in Luoyang at this time.

"General Zilong has led his men and horses to occupy Xingyang." Xu Huang said after listening to Xi Zhicai's words.

"Zilong said that Luoyang's proximity to Yingchuan should not be underestimated, and it is inevitable that it will be lost, so the last general will temporarily guard Luoyang with this town, waiting for His Majesty to come to the army."

After hearing this, Liu Wei nodded, "Cao Cao is not an idle person, and you two should be careful." ”

As the so-called generals are outside, the military orders are not subject to them, and Zhao Yun can divide his troops with Xu Huang in combination with the actual situation, which is indeed very good.

Otherwise, once Luoyang is really occupied by Cao Cao, then it will inevitably be unfavorable to his subsequent advances.

After all, in addition to Xingyang, Luoyang at this time is also an important strategic place for himself.

"The army will rest in Luoyang for one night, and set off tomorrow to take Yingchuan."

After a while, Liu Wei looked at everyone and spoke.

Xi Zhicai also nodded, if Yingchuan can be taken at this time, then it will inevitably have a greater deterrent to the situation in the entire Yuzhou.

And after occupying Yingchuan, you can not only march to Xuchang, but also go south to Runan, Xiangcheng and the ancient city.

In this way, an encirclement posture can be formed against Xuchang.

In this way, even Cao Cao is afraid that it will be difficult to hold this land of Yuzhou at that time.

"Your Majesty, Jia Xu asks to see you."

In the evening, when the army was encamped, Liu Wei was thinking about how to take Yuzhou in the big tent, and Xi Zhicai shouted outside the tent.

"Jia Xu?" Liu Wei was also stunned.

Why did Jia Xu come here, shouldn't he still be in Wancheng at this time?

"Come in." Liu Bianxin had doubts and immediately spoke.

"Jia Xu has seen Your Majesty."

After Jia Xu came in, he looked at Liu Wei and saluted.

"No need to be polite, I still have to thank Mr. for the things in Runan in the past, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid Zhang Xiu wouldn't have agreed to send troops."

Liu Wei looked at Jia Xu and spoke, and at the same time raised his hand to signal him to get up and speak.

"Your Majesty is serious, just take what you need." Jia Xu raised his eyes and looked at Liu Wei and said.

Liu Wei looked at Jia Xu in front of him, and had to say that there was a reason why he was able to live so long in history.

Jia Xu stood in front of him, and there was no place at this time that people could not be.

Even if you speak, it is the same, giving people a sense of indifference.

But Liu Wei knew that this person seemed to be peaceful, but once he used a trick, he knew that he was powerful.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Wei looked at Jia Xu and asked.

However, compared to Jia Xu a long time ago, it is more important to ask Jia Xu about his intentions.

At this juncture, Jia Xu will come to himself, so it must not be for no reason.

"Your Majesty's crusade against Cao Cao this time, I wonder what chance Your Majesty has of winning?"

Jia Xu did not directly answer Liu Wei's words, but looked at Liu Wei and asked rhetorically.

Jia Xu looked at Liu Wei quietly like this, waiting for his answer on the side.

"Now that Cao Cao has committed the anger of the people, and all the princes are crusading against Dong Zhuo together, how can there be no chance of victory?"

After listening to Jia Xu's words at this time, Xi Zhicai on the side spoke.

"Oh? Really? If so, you're afraid you won't let me in, will you? ”

Jia Xu glanced at Xi Zhicai, then raised his eyebrows and said.

Obviously, Jia Xu was obviously dissatisfied with Xi Zhicai's words, and he did not agree with it.

"It seems that you really can't hide it from Wen and you, this crusade against Cao Cao, if you want to completely eliminate Cao Cao, this victory is impossible."

Liu Wei looked at Jia Xu at this time and said.

If you want to completely eliminate Cao Cao, I'm afraid it's not yet time.

However, this time, taking advantage of this opportunity to take Yuzhou, it is definitely a goal that must be achieved to hit Cao Cao hard.

Jia Xu nodded after listening to Liu Wei's words, as if he was quite satisfied with this answer.

"In the past, the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Xiangguo, but they all returned defeated, and all that was left was Luoyang like it is now, and the reason for this, presumably Your Majesty naturally knows."

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Wei quickly understood what Jia Xu meant, the reason why the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo at the beginning was naturally because of the disunity of people.

However, there is only one fundamental reason for this, and that is the word Li.

"Wen He came to remind me this time, is he here to help me?" After Liu Wei reacted, he looked at Jia Xu and asked.

But soon Jia Xu shook his head, "I came here today just to tell Your Majesty that my lord will also send troops to attack Cao Cao this time." ”

After Liu Wei heard Jia Xu's words, he immediately understood.

"Then I don't know what the conditions are for Zhang Xiu's dispatch this time?"

Jia Xu actually saw through this sharp word, and now he said that Zhang Xiu would send troops, which naturally means that Jia Xu came to talk about the conditions.

"Actually, it's very simple, Your Majesty can hand over Runan County to my lord." Jia Xu looked at Liu Wei and said with a smile.

"What if I don't agree?" After hearing Jia Xu's words, Liu Wei immediately spoke.

If Runan is handed over to Zhang Xiu, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up a county in Yuzhou, which is contrary to what he wants to control Yuzhou.

"Your Majesty will agree, Jia Xu will not disturb Your Majesty." After Jia Xu finished speaking, he got up and saluted, and then left Liu Wei's big tent.

Liu Wei watched Jia Xu's confident appearance and leave the big tent, and he was also a little puzzled.

Could it be that Jia Xu knows something?

However, Liu Wei also knew that if he didn't agree to Jia Xu's request, he would definitely not say it.

Jia Xu's arrival made Liu Wei a little uneasy, but even so, Liu Wei knew that this battle must be fought.

The next day, Liu Wei led the army to Xingyang to join Zhao Yun, and then sent troops to Yingchuan.

Outside Yingchuan City, at this time, Cao Cao's army was already camped outside the city and Yingchuan City was a horn of each other.

"Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, there are about 30,000 troops guarding Yingchuan this time." In the camp, Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Wei and said.

Liu Wei nodded, if the 30,000 army is attacked, it will indeed be difficult to fight.

The next day, the general set up a position outside Yingchuan City.

"You are finally here, I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of my lord." Cao Jun rushed out in front of the formation and spoke.
