Sun Ce is the loser, the big loser.

Originally, there were more than 100,000 troops, but after several major battles, there are now only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Fortunately, there are 50,000 elite soldiers hidden at home.

Sun Ce also pays attention to the number of troops, otherwise, with his current territory, if he is ruthless, he can also pull up a large army like Yuan Shu.

Although such an army can be frightened, once it is not well led, it is easy to be defeated and collapsed, and even affect other elite soldiers.

This is a serious blow to morale.

It was not only Sun Ce who was sad, but Liu Bei at this time also wanted to cry without tears.

He lost all his territory, and his soldiers and horses were only in his early 30,000s.

Sun Ce can pull up another army of soldiers and horses when he goes back, but what about him?

Liu Bei didn't even have a territory.

Therefore, after Liu Bei crossed the river, he went to find Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu also needed soldiers and horses at this time, so he took advantage of the situation to incorporate Liu Bei.

In this way, Liu Bei became Yuan Shu's subordinate.

Liu Bei ran out of scheming, but he still became someone else's subordinate.

I lost my own territory again.

Liu Bei re-lived a life under the fence, his heart was full of unwillingness, he was never a master who was willing to be someone's little brother.

At the beginning, he occupied Luoyang, and he was a pastor in Xuzhou for nearly two years.

Of course, it's more about living under the fence, and now living this life again.

This also shows that Liu Bei's mental quality is still very good.

Yuan Shu took a fancy to Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and as soon as he settled down, he had to disperse Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, because Yuan Shu's army was really short of officers, which seriously affected the combat effectiveness.

So, Yuan Shu proposed to break up the original veterans and disperse them.

Liu Bei naturally disagreed, Yuan Shu was already a little crazy at this time, and if he didn't agree, he would rob it, and even did not hesitate to kill the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang.

In the end, Liu Bei compromised and gave 15,000 soldiers and horses to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was also generous, and transferred a lot of new soldiers to Liu Bei, replenishing Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to 50,000, so that Liu Bei could continue to lead.

This one in and one out, there are a lot more troops, but cronies and their veterans have been divided a lot.

Liu Bei also had blood dripping in his heart and could only accept it.

What is even more unbearable for Liu Bei is that Yuan Shu only gave half of the equipment, and he still has more than 20,000 people who can only train with wooden sticks.

"Big brother, this Yuan Shu is not a thing, we simply turned against him." Zhang Fei was so angry that he scolded.

Liu Bei immediately stopped Zhang Fei, this is someone else's territory, if Yuan Shu's people hear it, they will be in danger.

"Alas, it's all because my brother is incompetent, and he ends up like this, and my Han Dynasty's hundreds of years of foundation are probably going to be destroyed on our unscrupulous descendants."

Liu Bei seemed to lament, but in fact, he emphasized his identity, and showed his grand ambition to revitalize the Han Dynasty, so that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could review it, so as not to have any thoughts.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei was about to cry again, so they hurriedly persuaded him.

Diverting the attention of the two, Liu Bei continued: "Yuan Shu can't be conspired with, now his condition is not good, it won't be long before the army will be defeated, we need to strengthen our armaments, and we can only rely on ourselves at a critical time." ”

Liu Bei no longer has a sense of the overall situation, and he can also see that Yuan Shu is dying, but he doesn't know how to formulate a strategy, he only knows how to strengthen the army.

Liu Bei has the ability, but he can't see the overall situation, so he has been stumbling and has not achieved much.

Yuan Shu hurriedly recovered his strength, Zhang Yu agreed to restore his strength as well, and even Sun Ce was much more radical, and after he returned, he hurriedly expanded his army, and it was expanded to 200,000 at once.

These 200,000 troops do not count the troops on the other side of Changsha and Dongting Lake.

However, they have encountered a major problem in expanding their armed forces, that is, they are short of armaments.

It is very troublesome to build armor, or weapons and equipment, and they don't have Zhang Yu's advanced equipment for armor, and they can forge a pair of armor in more than ten days.

Three months later, that is, in February 197 AD, Zhang Yu restored his army of 300,000 troops, and the army was strong again.

The 300,000-strong army, drawn from the militia, and after three months of training, was ready for a war.

However, at this time, Zhang Yu did not seem to be ready to go on the expedition.

Two of his children have been born.

Xiang Xin gave birth to a boy and Cai Yan gave birth to a girl, and all of a sudden he had both children and daughters, and Zhang Yu had a smile on his face every day.

Just a few days ago, two major events occurred that made Zhang Yu temporarily stop his expedition to Yuan Shu.

One is that Cao Cao had no choice but to move the capital to Luoyang by Zhang Yu.

Moving the capital is such a major event, which is very troublesome.

Cao Cao wanted to hold a grand ceremony, and the mobilization of the army could be said to have affected the whole body.

The entire Cao Cao force must be mobilized.

What made Cao Cao nervous was that Yuan Shao also saw the opportunity to move the capital, and set up hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border.

"If you have a chance, you must kill Zhang Yu." Xu Chu cursed as he walked, obviously he also understood that Zhang Yu had caused them big trouble this time.

Cao Cao has been in a bad mood for more than three months since he woke up, but he is more thinking about the overall situation.

"If we don't break it, we can wait until we arrive in Luoyang, and we can take the opportunity to gather people's hearts and talents."

Cao Cao knew that there were pros and cons to moving the capital, so he would act so quickly.

Another major event is that Yuan Shu became the emperor.

Yuan Shu finally couldn't help but be the emperor.

The jade seal was in hand, and there was a large army, so it swelled.

Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, and the matter immediately swept Kyushu, and everyone crusaded.

However, Zhang Yu was still hesitating whether to take the opportunity to crusade.

Needless to say, Yuan Shu was unpopular when he was called emperor, and in history, because he was called emperor, he quickly lost the hearts of the people, and he was not as good as day by day, and finally hated.

And Zhang Yu considered the impact of this matter.

"Lord, such a rebel army, Yuan Shu is weak at this time, we will crusade against him, we will definitely be able to achieve great righteousness, attack the city and plunder the land, no problem." Zhang Zhao said.

Guo Jia didn't say a word, such an obvious thing, of course he knew that there were huge benefits to crusading against Yuan Shu.

But Guo Jia is smart, at this time, Zhang Yu has received the news for three days, and he has not taken action for three days, and he has only convened them to discuss today.

Obviously, Zhang Yu has other arrangements.

And this arrangement.

Zhang Yu thought about it for a long time before he said: "Yuan Shu is unpopular, and he is asking for his own death. But this matter can be used, we are not inferior to Yuan Shu's territory, if there is a fight, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce will all pounce, and the territory we can share is limited. ”

When everyone heard Zhang Yu say this, they knew that Zhang Yu had other plans, and they were all listening to Zhang Yu.

"This matter can be used to attack the authority of the Han Emperor, as long as we operate it properly, it can further collapse the imperial power, which is beneficial to us." Zhang Yu said.

Although Guo Jia knew that Zhang Yu had a plan, he didn't know what he could use in this matter?

Zhang Yu saw that they didn't understand, so he said: "Let's throw out a topic, on whether Yuan Shu is qualified to be the emperor?" ”

Obviously, Yuan Shu is not qualified, and Zhang Yu also knows it, but this question is very vicious.
