Youzhou, Jicheng.

At this time, the doors of Jicheng are closed. Every house was locked, and none of the people dared to go out.

In just one month, Youzhou changed hands twice, and the banner of Wei was still hanging on the head of the city a month ago, and then it became the banner of Gongsun Yuan, and now, the head of the city has changed into the banner of the Han Dynasty again. It is precisely because of this that the common people dare not go out, and they are waiting for the overall situation outside to be decided.

In the distance, two people appeared on the official road, an old farmer on the left, and a young man on the right.

The old peasant looked up at the banner on the head of the city, and sighed slightly: "Hey, this Jicheng has changed people again!" I don't know who is coming this time. ”

After talking to himself for a moment, the old peasant suddenly appeared, and the banner on the head of the city seemed familiar.

"I know the words on it!" The old farmer took a soft breath.

"Dad, aren't you illiterate, how can you know the words on the banner in the city?" The young man next to him asked.

"This is a 'Han' character, when Lord Liu Yu was in Jicheng more than forty years ago. I see it every day in and out of town, yes! The old farmer spoke.

"So, is it the Han army that has attacked? I don't know if these Han soldiers are fierce or not, and whether the price of cents entering the city has increased. The young man said with some confusion.

At this time, in Jicheng, an Anmin list has been posted, but the people still dare not go out.

"Knock knock knock......" The gong sounded, and immediately after, the shouts of soldiers resounded on the street:

"General Tian Yu is back! General Tian Yu is back! ”

Tian Yu has been in Jicheng for many years, and has won the hearts of the people, and the people in the city know Tian Yu in ten places. Hearing that Tian Yu was coming, some good people walked out of their homes.

The arrival of Tian Yu has calmed down the originally floating people's hearts in Jicheng a lot, and the soldiers have begun to patrol the streets, and the security in Jicheng has been maintained well.

In the evening, when the city gate was about to be closed, a large group of Han troops came to the city of Jicheng, and then entered the city.

City House.

Jiang Wei strode in.

"The last general, Jiang Wei, has seen General Wei, and has seen General Fuyuan."

"Boyo, thank you for your hard work." A smile appeared on Zhao Yun's face, and then he took Tian Yu and Ma Qiu to greet them.

"General, Your Majesty has a will, let General Fuyuan go to Huguan immediately, and the responsibility of the garrison in Youzhou will be temporarily acted by the last general." Jiang Wei said and took out the holy decree.

Zhao Yun took the holy decree and read it. Then he nodded and said, "In this case, Ma Qiu, you go and prepare immediately, and set off as soon as possible!" ”

Ma Qiu took the holy decree and walked out, while Zhao Yun opened his mouth to explain: "Guorang, Ma Qiu is good at attacking but not good at defending, although the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry can dominate the world, but it is really a bit of a chicken rib to let them defend the city." ”

Tian Yu nodded and asked, "Zilong, Your Majesty transferred Ma Qiu's cavalry to Huguan, are you preparing to attack Jizhou?" ”

"I think so."

……

Right Beiping.

The news of Ma Qiu's transfer was sent to Gongsun Yuan on the second day.

"Ma Qiu is gone?" A hint of joy appeared on Gongsun Yuan's face.

"Lord, it seems that Liu Chan is preparing to attack Jizhou." Deng Ai said from the side.

"Hehehe, without Ma Qiu's Liangzhou cavalry, my Liaodong cavalry can gallop through Youzhou!" Gongsun Yuan smirked.

"The lord is going to attack Youzhou?" Deng Ai asked from the side.

"What Shi Zai said is right, I am bound to win Youzhou!"

"Lord, I think it's not the time to attack Youzhou now." Deng Ai said slowly.

"Isn't it time? That Ma Qiu's Liangzhou Iron Cavalry has already left, why do you still say that it is not time? ”

"My lord. Liu Chan transferred Ma Qiu, and the ten ** were to attack Jizhou. So we don't wait until Liu Chan sends troops to Jizhou, and then attack Youzhou, so that Liu Chan will have no extra troops to aid Youzhou. Deng Ai said.

"But that Huguan is not far from Yecheng, and from Huguan, you can almost arrive at dawn and evening." Gongsun Yuan opened his mouth and said.

"Don't forget, the lord, there is still a Sima Yi in Qingzhou! Dongwu also had an intention of Jizhou, Sun Deng would never sit back and watch Liu Chan seize Jizhou, presumably between Liu Chan and Sun Deng, there will inevitably be a protracted war for Jizhou. Besides, Cao Rong can also gather an army of three or four hundred thousand in Jizhou alone, and he still has the strength to fight! It took four or five years for Cao Cao to attack Jizhou, and now it seems that if this Jizhou wants to be pacified again, it will take five years! In five years, the minister will be able to train 200,000 elite soldiers for the Lord to defend against foreign enemies! Deng Ai replied.

"Shizai, you said Liu Chan and Sun Deng, who will take Jizhou?" Gongsun Yuan asked.

"Well, it's hard to say. Liu Chan has Xu Shu to help, and Sun Deng also has Sima Yi to help, and both of them know the situation in Jizhou well. Liu Chan has Ma Qiu's Liangzhou cavalry, which can crisscross Jizhou, and Sun Deng also has Jiangdong Naval Division, which can attack Jizhou from the sea at any time, and the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides should be comparable! Who can get Jizhou in the end. It's hard to say. ”

"Counting it, I would prefer that it was Sun Deng who took Jizhou instead of Liu Chan. If Liu Chan is allowed to occupy Jizhou, I will be in danger. ”

"My lord's words are wrong."

"Shizai, why do you say that?"

"Lord, I think it's best to let Cao Ei continue to occupy Jizhou, with Cao Ei here, the lord will be worry-free! As long as Cao Rong does not die for a day, then neither Liu Chan nor Sun Deng will trouble us. ”

Gongsun Yuan nodded, and then asked, "In this way, we and that Cao Rong are cold?" ”

"Now it seems that it should be so." Deng Ai replied.

"Dead lips and cold teeth...... Then should we help that Cao Ei? ”

"Helping is naturally to help, but don't forget, lord, if we help Cao Ei, it will be equivalent to offending the Han and Dongwu parties at once, and in exchange for just helping Cao Ei buy more time. It's not worth it. Therefore, these gangs belong to the gang, but they can't help them explicitly. ”

"Shizai, what do you mean ......?"

"Cao Ei lost the two states of You, and also cut off the source of war horses, the lord can send someone to Yecheng to sell some war horses and that Cao Ei." Deng Ai replied.

"Well, great idea! War horses, I have in Liaodong! I'll send the steward to Yecheng. ”

……

Qingzhou, Donglai County.

After receiving Sun Deng's order. Sima Yi immediately began to build a large port in Donglai.

Zang Ai's father and son have been in Qingzhou for two generations, and the connections in the celebration are naturally not comparable to others, and Zhuge Festival is a big family in Langya, under the mobilization of Zang Ai and Zhuge Dan, tens of thousands of people were summoned in a short period of time, plus it is winter now, and the Tuntian soldiers in Qingxu Erzhou have nothing to do, so they were also transferred to Donglai to build a port.

For Sima Yi, the sooner the construction of Donglai Port was completed, the sooner he could control the powerful naval army in Jiangdong.

6 Xun has returned to Shouchun, and the Jiangdong army is beginning to assemble towards Qingzhou. Jiangdong's posture was obviously preparing to attack Qingzhou.

On the other hand, the Han army also assembled in Bingzhou and Guandu respectively. Winter is the dry season of the Yellow River, so it is more convenient for the army to cross the Yellow River by Guandu than to go out of Huguan Pass.

The focus of the world is once again focused on Jizhou. Whether it is Dahan or Dongwu, they are all looking at Jizhou with fierce eyes, hoping to swallow this tempting fat in one bite.

However, at this time, Jizhou's fat meat was not ready to be caught.

Yecheng, the Imperial Palace.

Cao Shuang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, visit Malay to report, the Eastern Wu army has begun to assemble in Qingzhou. Moreover, Sima Yi built a large port in Donglai, which seems to be preparing water 6 and entering. ”

Cao Ei waved his hand mechanically, these days, every day more or less always hears some bad news, Cao Ei has long been used to it.

"Your Majesty, in the past month, all townships and counties have recruited 100,000 soldiers, and as long as you give the ministers three months, you can train into an army." Cao Shuang continued.

The recruitment that Cao Shuang said is, of course, mandatory. After the Battle of Guandu, Jizhou has recovered its vitality after more than 20 years of recuperation. It is not difficult to recruit 100,000 people.

Cao Rong nodded mechanically again, although 100,000 people are a lot, but compared to the armies of the Han and Eastern Wu, it is really not much.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you raise the power of Jizhou, you can recruit another 200,000 troops! Now that the enemy is present, I ask Your Majesty's permission to continue to recruit men and horses to defend against foreign enemies! Cao Shuang continued.

"Recruit another 200,000? Do we have enough food and grass? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Jizhou has saved a lot of grain and grass over the years, and the large and small granaries near Yecheng are all full, and it is more than enough to raise an army of 200,000." Cao Shuang replied.

"En......" Cao Rong pondered for a moment, at this time it can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

"It's a pity that Gongsun Yuan's thief actually attacked Youzhou, otherwise the minister could still train tens of thousands of cavalry, if there are tens of thousands of cavalry. Looking back and forth for the coastal area of Leling, he is not afraid of his Jiangdong sailors. Cao Shuang sighed and said.

"The hateful Gongsun Yuan, who actually bit back at this time, is really an immature wolf. If he had known this, he would have pacified Liaodong earlier......" Cao Ei's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

At this time, Wang Chang walked in from outside and came to Cao Ei.

"Your Majesty, Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong has sent an envoy." Wang Chang spoke.

"Messenger, Gongsun Yuan's wolf ambition, sending a messenger must be nothing good, I don't see it, bomb that messenger away!"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"What's the matter, I didn't kill him, I already gave him a lot of face."

"Your Majesty, this time is different, this time Gongsun Yuan sent Guan Ning."

"Guan Ning, but that Beihai Guan Ning?" Cao Rong hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it's him!"

"Uh, that's ......" Cao Rong nodded, Guan Ning is a famous person in the world, and he has been famous for decades, not that he can be blown away.

"Alright, I'll meet him!" (！ )
