Liu Kuan summoned Tian Yu from Qingzhou to Liqiu, and sent Sun Guan as the main general, with Yin Li as his deputy, to garrison Qingzhou, because Qingzhou is connected to Youzhou and Yanzhou, as long as the troops are stationed on the border of Qingzhou and Xuzhou to prevent the threat from Xuzhou.

Liu Kuan was relieved to know that Qingzhou's internal affairs were handed over to Zhang Zhao. Through his recent contact and observation with Sun Guan, Liu Kuan found that Sun Guan was brave and strategic, and he was a great general, and Qingzhou was guarded by him, so he was very relieved. What Liu Kuan didn't know was that in the original history, Sun Guan was under Cao Cao, and he served as the assassin of Qingzhou.

After Tian Yu received Liu Kuan's order, he knew that Liu Kuan's adjustment must have caused a major change, so he hurried over. After Tian Yu arrived, Liu Kuansheng was in charge.

After Liu Kuan introduced the situation in Jizhou, he said: "On that day, Changwen and Zhu Gong set the Linzi strategy, and now the situation in Jizhou has changed, what are the good strategies of Zhu Gong, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Chen Qun came out and said: "My lord, the situation in Jizhou is changing, and the strategy of Linzi cannot be changed. Yuan Shaochu won Jizhou, people's hearts were unstable, and his power was not strong. It should be defeated with the momentum of thunder while it has not yet been integrated and strengthened! ”

Xun Yu ranked first on the left, got up and said: "Changwen is reasonable, my lord, Yuan Shao killed the imperial court members and seized the prefectures and counties without authorization, Liu Zhoumu is the governor of the four states, and it is the righteousness of our army to crusade against usurpation." Han Fu's old army was dissatisfied with Yuan Shaoduo, Yuan Shao's short-term expansion of the army, lack of training, and the number of troops in a hurry must be much less than mine. Yuan Shao has just taken over Jizhou, and government affairs will be disordered.

In addition, our army has just defeated Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, and Yuan Shao has no alliance, and when the strength is weak, our army sent troops from Yanzhou and Youzhou at the same time. If we don't send troops at this time, when Yuan Shao grows stronger, Cao Cao, Zhang Yang and others become powerful, and our army will take Jizhou again, it will be ten times more difficult, and it will be in vain to waste troops and grass! ”

Xu Shu has always spoken enthusiastically, "My lord, what you say is very reasonable, and it is the best policy to attack at this time." My Youzhou army doesn't have to pay attention to other counties and counties in Jizhou, but can directly enter the Xindu of Jizhou to encircle and annihilate Yuan Shao, and the other old Han Fu troops in Jizhou will not save each other. Yuan Shao's subordinates came to save the besieged city, and our army could besiege the city and destroy it! ”

Liu Kuan shouted after hearing this! I thought to myself, Xu Shu is really a talent, and he was well versed in the art of war of Taizu two thousand years ago to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements.

Xu Shu was interrupted by Liu Kuan, waiting for Liu Kuan to speak, but when he saw Liu Kuan's face showing joy, he looked at him with joy and felt very awkward. Seeing this, Liu Kuan regained his demeanor, stretched out his hand and asked, "Yuan Zhi, please continue." ”

Xu Shu continued: "In addition to marching into Xindu, there are two things to plan, one is that Yuan Shu is a greedy villain, with ill intentions, if our army advances to Xindu, it will take this opportunity to attack Chenliu, and even the entire territory of Yanzhou, should choose a general, guard Yanzhou, and prevent Yuan Shu." In addition, he could send an envoy to Sun Ce, saying that he would break away from Yuan Shu, take the southern counties and counties to stand on their own, and contain Yuan Shu.

The second is that my lord of Yanzhou is now leading the army, and Youzhou in the north was elected as a general to lead the army, and the army was assembled to go south, but the Youzhou army is scattered all over the place, if there is no lord to go in person, it cannot be integrated in the short term, and it is difficult to do it in a hurry. ”

After hearing this, Liu Kuan nodded and said, "The words of the princes are very much in line with my wishes!" ordered Sun Qian to go to Sun Ce and act according to the plan; Tian Yu was ordered to be the main general, Wu Anguo, and Zhao Yun were the deputy generals, and 60,000 infantry and 15,000 cavalry were stationed in Yanzhou to prevent Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's subordinates from encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao from attacking our Yanzhou.

He was appointed as the general of Jianyi Zhonglang, and Pan Feng was appointed as the general of Fengyi Zhonglang. Transferred to Han to the south, he served as the chief general of the North Route Army, Xian Yu Fu, Bu Dugen, and Ke Bineng as deputy generals, and was awarded as the supervisor of the army. The rest of the generals formed the Eastern Route Army with Ben Hou and marched into Xindu, and Chen Qun was the governor of the Eastern Route Army. It is scheduled to send troops at the same time on the sixteenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Chuping. ”

In the first month of 193 AD, after several months of preparation, Liu Yu and Liu Kuan spread the word to the world and crusaded against Yuan Shao.

Zhenwei general Han Dang led an army of 150,000 from Youzhou all the way to the ground, because of the frustration of the relationship, the counties have opened the city and surrendered, Han Dang sent Kebi Neng to attack Hejian, Han Dang ignored other counties, and led the army straight to Xindu.

Wei general Liu Kuan led an army of 150,000 troops to attack Jizhou from Liqiu, Wuqiu Jian broke through the plains, Zang Ba broke through the Qinghe, and Pan Feng united with Zhao Fu and Cheng Lian, the old troops of Han Fu stationed in Mengjin, to attack Wei County. The Eastern Route Army only captured a few important cities, but also abandoned other counties, and came to Xindu at the same time as Han Dang's army in March.

However, it is said that after Yuan Shao killed Han Fu and led Jizhou, he unearthed and enabled the original under Han Fu to Zhitian Feng, trial and other famous people, and Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xu You, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Xun Chen and other strategists to assist, sent the generals Lu Yi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Chun Yuqiong, Gao Gan, Lu Weihuang, and his son Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, etc. Advisers are like rain.

I have to say that history has a misunderstanding of Yuan Shao. Tian Feng, Judge, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and other talents, originally under Han Fu can not be reused, Yuan Shao led Jizhou as a confidant, and reused Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Lu Yi and other generals, quite knowledgeable, Han Fu's old generals, strategists have been like-minded, Yuan Shao is quite popular.

Just as Yuan Shao used Liu Kuan to fight with Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and others, recruited talents, appointed talents and used their abilities, and prepared to make great efforts to govern Jizhou and expand armaments, he heard that Liu Kuan quickly defeated Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, and 300,000 troops attacked Jizhou from the east and north, and he was terrified for a while.

Yuan Shao asked everyone for advice, and Tian Feng said to Yuan Shaojin: "My lord, Jizhou has just been decided, the county is unstable, and it is not appropriate to disperse the troops, so Liu Zihua broke them one by one. When shrinking the forces near Sindu, wait for the opportunity. ”

Feng Ji retorted: "The cavalry of the Youzhou army is the strongest, why should I, Jizhou, give up the strength of defending the city, and use my own shortcomings to fight Liu Kuan in the wilderness?" Our army should defend the city to the death, and consume the combat power of Youzhou city by city. ”

The judge said: "Liu Zihua came from the east, although the troops were divided into three routes, but they did not attack city by city, their intention was to point directly at Xindu, my Jizhou soldiers lack training, and the troops are far less than Youzhou, if they are scattered, it is inevitable that they will not be broken one by one." ”

Yuan Shao smiled bitterly: "Liu Zihua has been commanding the army for a long time, he has quite a military strategy, and the elite soldiers will take advantage of the victory, if my Jizhou army is besieged in Xindu, won't he die in a battle?" ”

"No", Tian Feng got up and said, "The lord used to ask Dong Nai to be the leader of the Kwantung Army, and now he invites Cao Cao, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and Yuan Shu to raise troops, and the princes of the world will fight against Liu Kuan, and I will be invincible!" ”

Guo Tu shook his head and said: "Cao Cao's new defeat, Tao Qian is cowardly, flamboyant and courageless, Yuan Shu is greedy, how can he raise troops?" ”

Xu You stroked the goat with his hand and said with a smile: "Liu Zihua is domineering, now Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou are connected to the city, and Bingzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou are adjacent to them, everyone is in danger, and the princes will raise troops, not to help me, but to protect themselves." The lord sent an envoy to make it clear that the general situation would be cold, and the princes would send troops together. ”

Yuan Shao nodded, but hesitated. At this time, Yuan Shao got the report, and Cao Cao's envoy Xi Zhong asked to see him. Yuan Shao was overjoyed after hearing this, and personally came out to greet him, Yuan Shao pulled Xi Zhong, invited him to enter the lobby and took a seat, and said: "This morning the magpie is singing on the branches, I never thought that it was Brother Zhicai who came, and now I am preparing for a decisive battle with Liu Zihua in Jizhou, I don't know what Brother Meng De taught me?" ”

Xi Zhicai saw that Yuan Shao was quick to talk, did not avoid himself, discussed in public, and did not shy away, and said: "Liu Zihua attacked Jizhou in the east and north with the momentum of thunder, I don't know what Ming Gong has to deal with?" ”

Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao sent Xi Zhicai to come, and he must help him resist Liu Kuan together. said: "Liu Zihua is ambitious, and he is bound to annex various states, and now I am the first to bear the brunt of it, and I don't share the sky with it." Liu Zihua came from afar, the grain and grass are difficult to continue, it will not last, I Jizhou wants to shrink the front in Xindu, contain its main force, and wait for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle, I want to raise the alliance again, invite Brother Meng De and Yuan Highway, Tao Gongzu, Uncle Zhang Zhi, Liu Jingsheng to discuss Liu Zihua! ”

"Good also", Xi Zhicai said, "Ming Gong, the person who guards Liu Biao in Jingzhou, is far away from Youzhou, and he will not be invited." ”

Yuan Shao thought to himself, it seems that there is no need to deceive Xi Zhong. said sincerely: "Brother Zhicai, I don't know if there is any good strategy to teach me?" ”

Xi Zhicai got up and came to the lobby map, and said: "Liu Zihua took Qingzhou and Yanzhou with the power of lightning, and came from the east, Qingzhou and Yanzhou must be heavily armed, and Tian Yu is young and resourceful, but Liu Kuan's henchmen, if the Ming Duke invites Tao Gongzu and Yuan Highway cavalry to take Linzi and Xiaqiu, they will not be able to get it." Before leaving, my lord gathered to discuss matters, and Guo Fengxiao made a plan, which was very in line with my lord's intentions. It's not as ...... as this."

Xi Zhicai then brought Guo Jia's strategies together. Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and his smile opened.
