In the first year of China, Zhang Yi spent the past in dealing with internal affairs. Because too many capable people were recalled to Shouchun by him, there will always be a little lacking in the locality. Fortunately, he has cultivated a large number of officials, and after the chief official is replaced, he can smoothly hand over the work with the new chief official.

In August, Zhang Yi established a graduate school and a small college in Shouchun. Graduate schools are under the Faculty of Liberal Arts, and are mainly places for those adults to study, and are generally preparatory students of the Faculty of Liberal Arts. The primary academy is a place for minors who have reached a certain age to study, Zhang Yi sent six or seven princes and princesses to study in the primary school, and the courtiers also sent their children to the primary school, and in less than a month, the small academy had thousands of students.

Liu Xi, the doctor of the small academy, was already having a headache, and finally divided into thirty classes and rebuilt the academy at the foot of Bagong Mountain outside Shouchun City.

Zhang Yi's eldest daughter Hong'er is thirteen years old, and the eldest son Zhang Xingren is ten years old. Hong'er has been learning martial arts with Fan Lihua since she was a child, and her temperament was also raised by Zhang Yi to be a little wild, so she soon became the little bully of the elementary school. The girls are precocious, and they go to school with these little ones, and Hong'er and theirs are obviously not of the same age. So much so that after a year of school, Zhang Yi no longer forced her to go, and indulged her to play by herself! In a few years, he will get married, and he will have no time to play.

In the first month of the second year of China, Zhang Yi issued an edict to carry out the Northern Expedition after spring ploughing, allowing the Fourth Route Army to control the time of dispatching troops by itself.

In May, Zhang Yi personally raised 50,000 troops from Shouchun to Ruyin and joined Wang Jian. Zhang Yi's army brought Wei Wentong, Xia Luqi, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, Wang Meng and other generals, and while contacting Su Lie, he ordered Ma Chao and Pang De to go north to Xiyang as the vanguard, and attacked the troops of Guo, Xinyang, and Yilu to force Chen Guo.

Su Lie took Lü Guang, Yang Ang and others to lead 40,000 people to attack Baoxin and Xincai, and in Xincai divided his troops to let Lü Guang go north to attack Pingyu. Pingyu was guarded by Li Tong, who was sent to Runan again last year. Lü Guang and Li Tong fought more than a dozen battles in succession near Pingyu, and they were evenly matched.

Su Lie attacked Ancheng, Shenyang, and Northern Yichun to the west, sent Yang Ang to attack Langling, and he himself went north to Yang'an, Wufang, Haoyang, and Shangcai, and then outflanked Pingyu.

Guangling Tanghe led Yue Fei, Shan Xiongxin and others to lead 30,000 people to attack Xiapi, and in less than ten days they were swept across Xiapi State, sending troops to Pengcheng and Xialu County, and meeting in the area of Pengcheng in Zhangliao.

Jingzhou Lü Meng led 40,000 troops to attack Xi'e, Bowang, Duyang, Yexian, Lixian, and Luyang, and entered Yingchuan County. Attacking from Kunyang, Lü Meng led a large army to attack Xiangcheng, Yingyang, and Yingyin, and the troops came to the city of Xuchang. And Lu Xun took 10,000 people to attack Wuyang, Dingling, Xiping, Dingying, Yunxian, Zhaoling, Qiaoqiang, and Linying, and joined forces with Lu Meng under the city of Xuchang.

Xue Rengui, Wei Rui, Gao Changgong, Wei Yan and others led an army of 50,000 troops from Tongguan, and the troops were divided into two routes, Xue Rengui and Wei Yan went to Huxian, Hongnong, Shaanxian, Mianchi, Xin'an, and Gucheng to Luoyang. And Wei Rui Puban, Hebei (Hebei County, in Hedong County), and Dayang divided their troops. Gao Changgong led the cavalry to recover Hedong, and Wei Rui continued to walk east to Dongyuan, attacking Yixian, Heyang, and Wen counties along the river to block possible reinforcements from Jizhou.

Gao Changgong went north from Dayang to attack Anyi, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the entire Hedong. Gao Changgong divided his troops to capture Yishi, Xie County, Fenyin, Pishi, Wenxi, Linfen, Jiangyi, Pingyang, Xiangling, Yangxian, Beiqu, Puzi, and Yong'an (Yong'an in Hedong County, now Huo County). He stationed his troops in Anyi, preparing to attack and annex the state later.

Zhang Yi's large-scale attack on Cao Pi and others had long been known, and the news of such a large-scale attack would definitely not be hidden.

However, Cao Pi is much inferior to Cao Cao militarily, and can only rely on the ability of these generals under him.

Zhang Liao and Tang He fought against him in Pengcheng, and he really wanted to rely on his personal bravery to defeat Tang He. But in Tang He's army, there are also many people who are no less than him. Although Yue Fei and Shan Xiongxin were both just summoned, they were both captains, and although they were not sent out alone, they were selected by Tang He as a striker.

Zhang Liao fought against the two for a few days, and found that he was definitely not their opponent on his own. But fortunately, he also has reinforcements, and he has already asked Zhang Xiu in Langya for help. It only takes a few days to guard Zhang Xiu's reinforcements will arrive.

Chen's guard was Cao Hong. Cao Hong had a good relationship with Cao Cao, but he had a bad relationship with Cao Pi. Because Cao Pi asked him to borrow money before, he didn't borrow it, and now that Cao Pi is in power, Cao Hong was sent to Chen State, but only with 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Originally, in history, Cao Pi tried to find a way to kill Cao Hong, but was reprimanded by his mother Bian before stopping. The current Cao Pi has not yet reached that time, so he sent Cao Hong to Chen State, with the intention of sending him to death.

At the moment of the great enemy, Cao Pi is still doing things according to his personal preferences, and he is also looking for death.

Cao Ren's troops were the largest, and if he hadn't given Xu Huang 30,000 troops, he would have 100,000 troops. At the beginning, Cao Cao had tens of thousands of troops in Runan, and Xuchang also had tens of thousands of troops, adding up to 100,000 people. After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, he transferred Cao Ren back to Xuchang and took 30,000 troops with him. Cao Ren left Li Tong with 10,000 troops, but there were still 60,000.

In the face of Lü Meng's 40,000 troops, Cao Ren still had a slight advantage. Even if Zhang Yijun's soldiers are elite, Cao Ren is not powerless to fight back. And Cao Ren himself is also very brave, Chen Jiao once commented that Cao Ren is a celestial. Cao Ren wanted to use the cavalry to attack Lü Meng and make him retreat. However, there were also fierce generals in Lü Meng's army, Qin Qiong and Wang Yanzhang, two fierce generals, who continuously repelled the attacks of Cao Bing.

There were Lu Meng and Lu Xun in command, and Qin Qiong and Wang Zulan in the charge, and Cao Ren was at a stalemate for a while. Lü Meng couldn't attack the city, and Cao Ren couldn't retreat from the enemy.

Xu Huang, who was in Luoyang, was very conservative in the face of Xue Rengui's army, and he did not dare to go out of the city. The main reason is that Xue Rengui has a lot of cavalry, and he suffers a lot when he goes out of the city to fight.

So Xu Huang stayed in Luoyang City and guarded the city. Xu Huang's army was strictly forbidden, and Xue Rengui and Wei Rui did not have many infantry, and their siege ability was not very strong. came all the way to Luoyang, because there were no soldiers and horses stationed in these places.

Cao's offensive methods were more traditional, mainly focusing on major cities. And Zhang Yi's offensive strategy is to take it step by step, encroaching on the past step by step. Both offenses and defenses have their own strengths and weaknesses.
