Ji Ling's garrisons in Runan and Yuzhou counties were stumbling, and every city and place was bound to be captured, and the strategic purpose was to occupy Yuzhou.

Zang Ba also made some moves, but he was cautious and moved forward, and it would not affect Ji Ling's strategy in the short term, and Zang Ba's strength was relatively weak, and Ji Ling really didn't see it, so he didn't pay attention to Zang Ba's entry into the eastern part of Runan.

This Xiahou Yuan is a fierce enemy, and the combat power of the Qingzhou soldiers under his command can be compared with Jiang Sheng's Xuanjia cavalry, and the deputy general Cao Chun is a brave and resourceful talent.

After the envoy reported on the situation of going to Xiahou Yuan's camp, Ji Ling snorted coldly and said to the staff: "Ah Pu Xiao'er, it is clear that it is the side of the Qing monarch, and to deal with Jiang Sheng, he is actually using this pretext to seize territory and expand his power. Our Lord has made it clear, and it has been fulfilled today. Someone, pass on the military order! ”

Yuan Shu was also a careerist, and he had long seen Cao Cao's intentions, so he jumped up and responded as soon as possible, just to take advantage of Cao Cao's fight with Jiang Sheng, so that he could take the opportunity to capture Yuzhou. When he sent Ji Ling to lead the army to attack Runan, he also made arrangements, Qiao Rui and Li Feng had a total of 100,000 troops in Runan, and after getting Ji Ling's military order, Qiao Rui and Li Feng each led 50,000 soldiers and horses from the east and west to the north of Chen.

Xiahou Yuan, with Cao Chun as the vanguard, led 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers to go straight to Chen Guo to fight against Ji Ling's main force, which was all the way.

The army was full of favor and led 10,000 infantry troops, stationed in Liang State, as a backup.

Later, he led the main force of the Chinese army of 60,000 people to the south of Runan to face the two armies of Qiao Rui and Li Feng.

Zang Ba advanced slowly, and there was no chance to participate at all, so he was stationed in the northeast corner of Runan, and the Liang State was backed by Cao Cao's sphere of influence Yanzhou, and a large army would smash it at any time, Zang Ba did not dare to take this risk, so he waited for an opportunity on the edge of Runan.

The battle of Chen County started on the morning of this day, Cao Chun sent five thousand troops to outflank Ji Ling's rear road, and Zhen Rong organized 10,000 foot archers to form a defensive formation, firmly guarding Ji Ling's rear camp, no matter how Cao Jun fought and lured, Di Rong just did not fight, once Cao Jun entered the firing range, he was repelled by a rain of flowers.

Ji Ling's army still has more or less two hits, Zhenrong guards the rear, Ji Ling can let go of the fight, he charges the cavalry first, followed by the archers, and shoots at Cao Chun's camp.

Unlike the rear, Zhenrong's side can't hold out, but here Ji Ling is trying to find a way to lure Cao Chun into battle.

Although there are not many garrisons in Chen County, and Tian Feng's state pastor team has long fled without a trace, Cao Chun still does not dare to underestimate it, so he still wants to preserve his strength.

He waited for the five thousand team to work before playing, otherwise with Ji Ling's strength, he would really be a hard bone.

The rear is in full swing, Ji Ling's side is also anxious, his rear is dragging on for a long time, Runan has just fought a long time, and it is difficult to recruit both grain and grass and soldiers.

The two armies confronted each other like this, the war drums shook the sky, but they didn't fight, and Xu Shu of Yingchuan was in a hurry.

Now Cao Cao and Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses deployed in Yuzhou add up to more than 100,000 people, if they don't fight, after a long time, it is likely that both families will take a step back, first clean up Yingchuan and then divide the family, won't the strategy fail?

Xu Shu is Xu Shu after all, he left Yingchuan at this time, and let Tian Feng and Zhang Liao stay still, and he will arrange it.

Tian Feng is a Wenchen, of course, he knows that strategists sometimes don't like others to know what he wants to do first, so he naturally doesn't ask. Zhang Liao is different, he is not familiar with Xu Shu, although he thinks that the strategy of ceding Chen Guo to make Cao Yuan's two families infighting is still passable, but he still doesn't believe in Xu Shu's Taoism.

"I think this Xu Shu has a false name, and he didn't let the two armies fight when he gave up Chen Guo, and now he is letting us stand still, who is he helping?"

"Wen Yuan is a little restless, I don't think this Xu Shu is simple, anyway, there is no action from all parties at present, so I just believe him and wait for the day to be late. The longer we wait, the more favorable the situation will be for us. The lord's hundreds of thousands of troops are retreating south from Youzhou, and within a month, we will be able to counterattack Yuzhou, so Cao Cao and Yuan Shu can't afford to wait, Xu Shu will go and make some moves, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Tian Feng's analysis is not unreasonable, because of Cao Cao's lever, Jiang Sheng had to transfer troops as soon as possible, and the problem of Goguryeo was handed over to Tian Yu to deal with, and there was no suspense. The task of cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the mess was left to the newly arrived officials at all levels.

Although the talents cultivated by the Military Academy are not famous, they are all good at civil and military affairs, and they can take charge of military and political affairs independently, which makes Jiang Sheng save a lot of heart.

After the Southern Xiongnu were cleaned up in the south, Hu Chuquan actually controlled the Southern Xiongnu, and had close contacts with Youzhou under Liu Yu's appeasement policy, especially the trade market, after Liu Yu was eradicated by Jiang Sheng, Hu Chuquan saw Jiang Sheng's means, so he took the initiative to send a messenger to Jiang Sheng to pay tribute, Jiang Sheng was happy with the attitude of the Southern Xiongnu, so he let the trial set up a special mutual city government, responsible for trade with the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei and other ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang.

The north has been relatively stable, Jiang Sheng transferred the main army to the south, and went all out to pass through the Central Plains, and it was not so easy to transfer the 300,000 army to the south, and it took a lot of time for the materials, grain, grass, soldiers, and their families.

After Jia Xu took charge of the state, he vigorously resumed production according to Jiang Sheng's instructions to recuperate, designated more than 30 large pastures as Dahan official horse farms, provided war horses for Jiang Sheng's cavalry group, and developed an agricultural economic belt along several major rivers.

Under the management of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the Bingzhou army was expanded to 80,000 elite soldiers, half of whom were cavalry, which can be said to be strong, and relieved Jiang Sheng of the worries of the west.

The hardware conditions for Jiang Sheng's military center of gravity to move south are already in place, and the only thing that is lacking is grain and grass. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, Jiang Sheng will not know this, and his team also understands it.

In this context, it is imperative for the navy led by Tai Shici to go south.

Liu Bei took charge of Xuzhou, and he did not realize the things of sea warfare, and tried his best to expand the scale of infantry in Xuzhou, cavalry can only be delusional for Xuzhou, the war horse business in the north has been stopped by Jiang Sheng, and the horses in the south are not suitable for war horses, and Liu Bei can only develop infantry.

Yangzhou Mu Liu Miao has no quarrel with the world, and maintains neutrality between Cao Cao and Jiang Sheng, although Yan Baihu and Wang Lang both support Cao Cao, but Liu Miao is pressing, they have no effect, Liu Bei has no worries, and focuses on the two counties of Xiapi and Donghai.

The Tai Shi Ci Navy sent the Xuanjia cavalry led by Zhao Yun to Haixi County, and Zhao Yun led the army directly into Donghai County.

And Tai Shici's fleet continued to move south, reaching Yandu (belonging to Guangling County, Xuzhou), and Liu Bei was not aware of all this.

When the Xuanjia cavalry captured Quyang County, Liu Bei woke up like a dream, and a big battle was about to start!
