Now Zhu Wei has gathered nearly 50,000 troops from the Chinese military camp, nearly 30,000 troops from the Dongzhou army, more than 15,000 troops from the Jiangjiao battalion in Ganning, more than 20,000 troops from the Yizhou New Army, 20,000 troops from the Hanzhong Army, and 20,000 troops from the Jingzhou New Army, which can be said to be nearly 150,000 troops.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhu Wei to attack Cao Cao with all these 150,000 troops.

According to Zhu Wei's military plan, Gan Ning's Jiang Jiao battalion will sail on the Yellow River, so as to ensure the delivery of grain and grass logistics materials in various places, and also support the battle situation everywhere at any time, mainly to assist Pang Yan of the Xiong Lu battalion to resist the possible southward offensive of Yuan Shao's army.

As for the new armies in Yizhou and Jingzhou, Zhu Wei was ready to hand them over to Wenpin for temporary command, with Xu Huang as his deputy general and Xu Shang as his general, and then stationed in Luoyang, and there was no need for them to join the war against Cao Cao.

The main reason is that Zhu Wei promised Xu Huang and Xu Shang that they would not let them fight with the old lord Cao Cao, so leaving them in Luoyang now can be regarded as fulfilling Zhu Wei's promise.

As for the training of these new troops, the degree of training is not high, and they can be trained in Luoyang during this time, so that they can be used as a supplementary source of troops for the attrition of various armies in the future.

The Jingzhou New Army was originally Wang Yuyan worried that Zhu Wei's side was short of troops, so he was temporarily recruited and sent to Luoyang, and the army was formed for a short time, and basically he had not trained much, as for the Yizhou New Army, Liu Zhang was temporarily assembled in Chengdu to deal with Zhu Weijun, and now even if the young and strong among them are screened to Luoyang, they are also recruits who have not been trained much.

Therefore, in Zhu Wei's military strategy, the main force attacking Cao Cao was 50,000 Chinese troops, 30,000 Dongzhou troops and 20,000 Han Chinese troops.

Of course, the army of Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and Zang Ba, who have now ended the war in Taishan County, Xuzhou, will also join the war against Cao Cao, so that with the nearly 60,000 troops on their side, Zhu Wei's total strength in attacking Cao Cao has also reached as much as 160,000.

It can be said that it is absolutely enough to attack Cao Cao, who only has one state and one county, with these large armies, after all, Cao Cao has lost 40,000 main elites before, and now those who remain in Yanzhou and Yingchuan are only local garrisons.

Therefore, Zhu Wei attacked Cao Cao with such an army, and it could almost be that several places bloomed at the same time, and theoretically it should not take long to pacify Cao Cao.

Under such a military strategic arrangement, Zhu Wei did not cross the Yellow River with too many troops, and now Zhu Wei is crossing the Yellow River to meet the Southern Huns, appease them and continue to work for themselves, and then just contact Ma Teng and Ma Chao to get in touch with them.

At this time, Yewang County, which was surrounded by Ma Teng's army, was also shaken after hearing that Zhang Yan had thrown himself into Zhu Wei, so he finally surrendered Kaicheng, so that all the military strength of Yuan Shao's army in Hanoi County had been solved by Zhu Wei's army.

Now Ma Teng and Zheng Gu have also arrived at the original Yuan Jun Dazhai, ready to accept Zhu Wei's meeting, and it just so happens that Zhu Wei can also meet Ma Yunlu, the female general of the Mandate of Heaven who has been staying by Ma Teng's side and has not been to Zhu Wei's side.

In addition, with the annihilation of Yuan Shao's army on the north bank of the Yellow River, the generals left behind by Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong, Xun Yu, Wei Yuanjin, Han Ju, and Zhao Rui, except for Yuan Yuanjin and Zhao Rui, were killed when the Southern Huns attacked Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, and the other three were captured.

And the 50,000 Yuan troops left by Yuan Shao were also more than 10,000 killed and wounded, more than 10,000 escaped, and nearly 30,000 were captured, and these prisoners were also a good harvest for Zhu Wei.

This time, he followed Zhu Wei to the north bank of the Yellow River, as well as Zhang He, the Hebei general who was captured by Pang Yan outside the Tiger Prison Pass, but Zhang He had already surrendered to Zhu Wei's side and temporarily became a member of Zhu Weizhong's military camp.

Now Zhu Wei also wanted to say that he would descend to Yuqiong, so he brought Zhang He over as a lobbyist.

At the same time, Zhu Wei was also ready to hand over the captured Yuan Shaojun soldiers to Zhang He to command, which could also dispel the estrangement of some Yuan Shao's soldiers, and with Zhang He's original prestige in Yuan Shao's army, it was enough for these Yuan Shaojun soldiers to accept Zhang He's control.

However, for these captured ordinary Yuan Shaojun soldiers, Zhu Wei still adopted a voluntary policy, if they were unwilling to stay and fight for Zhu Wei, then they could also cut off their fingers and go back to their homes in the north.

To tell the truth, Zhu Wei also had captured soldiers in many previous wars, but many times these soldiers would take the initiative to accept Zhu Wei's recruitment, but Zhu Wei was a little disgusted with the quality of these soldiers, so he often survived the fittest through reorganization.

It can be said that Zhu Wei's finger cutting method when he first raised troops in Jiangdong was rarely used.

Even after the defeat of Han Sui in the first battle of Guanzhong, the soldiers left by Han Sui were easily absorbed by Ma Teng, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Liao into their own lost soldiers, and the rest was left to Yan Xing.

Now that Yan Xing has returned to Luoyang, this part of the army has also become part of Zhu Wei's central military camp, and he has also not used any means of cutting off his fingers and releasing them.

However, many of the Cao soldiers captured by Zhu Wei and the Yuan soldiers who are now captured still have many soldiers who want to go home, so the method of cutting off the fingers and releasing the prisoners who want to go home has appeared again.

As a result, the Cao soldiers who were captured before were still down, and I heard that they had to cut off the thumb of their right hand before they could go back, and many people still stayed and accepted the reorganization, anyway, depending on the situation, Zhu Weijun will soon fight Cao Cao, and they can still go home at that time, there is no need to lose their thumbs now and return home, and then they watched their past companions follow and fight.

But many of the Yuan soldiers who were captured, but there were still many people who would rather cut off their fingers than go home.

After all, these Yuan soldiers still have some confidence in Yuan Shao, thinking that Zhu Wei is only afraid that it will be difficult to fight in the north in a short time, so they still have old and young families waiting for them to go back in the north, and they don't want to be soldiers in the south from now on, so many people would rather lose their fingers and go home.

At the same time, they feel that it is acceptable to lose their fingers, in such a time of military chaos, many young people were forcibly conscripted into the army, and now that they have lost their fingers and become crippled, then after returning to their homes in the north, they will not be conscripted into the army again, and maybe they can live in peace at home.

As a result, after some screening, at least two or three thousand captured Yuan soldiers were returned after losing their right thumbs.

But Zhu Wei easily put them back, which is naturally a profitable thing, as these soldiers return to their homes in the north, they will also promote the strength of Zhu Wei's army locally, thus affecting the changes in the hearts of the people in Yuan Shao's territory in the north, which is also an influence on public opinion.

However, the ordinary Yuan soldiers were easy to deal with, but the captured Chun Yuqiong, Xun Yu, and Han Ju all showed a less cooperative attitude, even if Zhu Wei brought Zhang He to persuade them, the three of them had no intention of surrendering......
