545, the four families marched to Yuan Shu together

Judging from the current development of the situation in Guanzhong, there is no need for Zhu Wei to intervene in this mixed game now.

Even if the situation in Guanzhong stabilized, and Guanzhong was nominally attached to the emperor of the court controlled by Cao Cao, Guanzhong was still a place that needed to be revived.

After all, the real world is not a city in the game, as long as you occupy the city, you can get food and gold, and the land in the real world is really a ruined place after the warlord melee.

Therefore, letting Zhong Miao govern Guanzhong in the name of the Son of Heaven and restore the people's livelihood in Guanzhong is equivalent to helping Zhu Wei restore the population and local civil affairs in Guanzhong, and there is no need to migrate the population from Jingzhou and Jiangdong occupied by Zhu Wei, and there is no need for Zhu Wei to send people to work hard, Zhu Wei is naturally happy to see it.

Anyway, in today's Guanzhong, it is impossible to bring any money and food to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao may need to pay materials to restore the livelihood of Guanzhong.

Therefore, Zhu Wei also watched from the wall, but Cao Cao was also very satisfied that he could bring the land of Guanzhong under his control, although Guanzhong could only be regarded as remote control for the time being, but at least his territory would expand a large area on the bright side.

But just when Cao Cao was controlling the war in Guanzhong from afar, thinking that he could take over the territory of Guanzhong, Yuan Shu actually swallowed Chen Guo and posed a great threat to Xu Du, and Cao Cao naturally felt uncomfortable.

Cao Cao also didn't expect Yuan Shu to be able to swallow Chen Guo, originally he himself had touched a nose of ash on Chen Guo's Liu Pet's side, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to assassinate Liu Pet and swallow Chen Guo's fat so easily.

This caught Cao Cao off guard, and even a little envious.

However, now that I think about it, Liu Chong may have also had some idea of making friends with Yuan Shu, so he ignored Yuan Shu's greed for Chen Guo, and was then booby-trapped by Zhang Min.

Under the situation at that time, Liu Pet was sandwiched between the three forces of Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu, and Liu Pet had already fought with Cao Cao before, and Yuan Shu's strength was at least very strong on the bright side.

Therefore, Liu Chong naturally didn't want to make himself an enemy, he might want to ease the relationship with Yuan Shu's side, or even form an alliance with Yuan Shu or something, in order to fight against Cao Cao, who was getting stronger and stronger.

Liu Chong definitely didn't want to offend the powerful Yuan Shu after offending Cao Cao, and the Chen State controlled by Liu Chong was not really strong enough to be fearless after all.

So when the assassin Zhang Min sent by Yuan Shu used the excuse of borrowing the road, Liu Chong didn't expect that Yuan Shu wanted his life at all, so he honestly entertained Zhang Min, and maybe secretly contacted Zhang Min to discuss the initiative to alliance Yuan Shu, but Liu Chong's wishful thinking, but he neglected to guard against Yuan Shu, so Zhang Min found an opportunity to assassinate him at the banquet.

Of course, as the local king of Liu Chong's Han family, he actually wanted to make friends with the rebellious Yuan Shu, which was obviously a bit against public order and good customs, so the history books did not tell this inside story, which was regarded as retaining some face for Liu Chong.

In fact, from Liu Chong's past, he was not a worry-free person, as early as 173 AD, Chen Guoxiang "Shi Qian" had posthumously played Chen Guo's former state minister "Wei Su" and Liu Pet to worship the gods, there are illegal attempts, it is really a great crime of rebellion, but luck, Liu Pet was pardoned by Emperor Han Ling, but a Wei Su died, so that Liu Pet lost the car to protect the handsome.

No matter what Liu Chong's intention was to sacrifice to the gods at the beginning, it can already be seen that Liu Chong's heart may not be at peace, and now he has gathered troops privately, which is even more contrary to the Han law.

Combined with his self-proclaimed name as the general of the Fuhan Dynasty, he definitely has some special thoughts in his heart, wanting to take himself one step further from being crowned.

It can only be said that he was unlucky to meet Yuan Shu, and then before he could do more, he died in the conspiracy of the troubled times, otherwise he seems to have a better background than Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Bei is a descendant of the declining Han family, and Liu Chong is a veritable king of the Han family.

Well, there is no longer much to talk about this Chen Wang Liu Pet, just say that now that Yuan Shu occupies the Chen State, Cao Cao must use troops against Yuan Shu no matter what.

Of course, at this time, Cao Cao didn't expect that Yuan Shu was an empty shelf, Cao Cao was still a little jealous of Yuan Shu's troops before sending troops, after all, Yuan Shu originally had a lot of troops, and it is said that there were 300,000 troops in history.

Now Yuan Shu has just swallowed the wealthy Chen State, and has been supplemented by Chen State's money, food and materials, and it is said that the morale of the army is booming.

Therefore, after Cao Cao discussed with his advisers, he sent envoys to Zhu Wei, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei before using troops, hoping that everyone would send troops together to recruit Yuan Shu, a traitor.

And Zhu Wei has been on his side for nearly half a year, but he is almost cultivated.

After receiving the edict of rebellion sent by Cao Cao in the name of the Son of Heaven, Zhu Wei, Wang Yuyan, Jia Xu and other military advisors analyzed the current situation, and they also gladly accepted the edict, so as to prepare to wage war against Yuan Shu.

So in February 198 AD, Cao Cao from Xudu and east to Yuan Shu, Zhu Wei from Jiangxia to attack Lujiang, Liu Bei, Lu Bu also sent troops from Xuzhou to Huaibei.

Not to mention how Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu used their troops, just said that Zhu Wei's side, since he decided to send troops, he naturally attacked with all his might, so he prepared three troops and horses to attack at the same time.

The first way is naturally Zhu Wei's main force from Xiangyang, the middle army camp and the Xionglu camp, almost nearly 40,000 troops, plus 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, directly down the Yangtze River to the east, from Chaisang and into the Lujiang River, ready to attack all the way to Lujiang County's Anhui County, Juchao, Shu County, and then from the Lujiang River to Jiujiang, directly to Yuan Shu's hinterland Laochao Shouchun.

The second road is about 15,000 soldiers and horses of the Huangzhong Jiangdong Battalion originally stationed in Jiangdong, attacking Fuling, Nanggao, Hefei and other counties of Jiujiang County from Liyang, and at the same time, about 10,000 people of the Taishi Cishen Arrow Battalion of Guangling County also attacked Dongcheng from Guangling County to the west, and finally the two troops and horses joined forces to threaten Yuan Shu's defense line in Yinling, Zhongli and Quyang.

The third road is about 15,000 soldiers and horses of the Liang cavalry battalion of Zhang Xiu's department, which was originally stationed in Jiangxia County, and once again combined with 10,000 archers and cavalry commanded by Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, to capture Qichun County of Lujiang County, and then attack Lu'an, threatening Yuan Shu's Shouchun City from the west, and at the same time preparing to block Yuan Shu's escape to Runan County.

It can be said that Zhu Wei's dispatch of troops this time is to prepare to swallow Yuan Shu's Huainan land in one bite, and as for Yuan Shu's current land in Yuzhou and Chen State in Huaibei, it will be handed over to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu to attack.

Of course, Zhu Wei also took advantage of the opportunity when Yuan Shu's main army was in Huaibei now, so he would dispatch such a large army with the intention of encroaching on Huainan.

But even so, the Yuan Shu troops that Zhu Wei had to face were at least more than 100,000 people.

I have to say that now Yuan Shu's total strength is indeed a lot, even if Yuan Shu sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Xuzhou Lu Bu in seven ways before, and Lu Bu used a strategy to surrender Yang Feng and Han Xian, so that with the help of Yuan's army's internal strife, Yuan's army was defeated, and Yuan Shu's seven-way army was almost wiped out.

But now Yuan Shu still has at least more than 200,000 troops under him, and Yuan Shu's troops left in Huainan are nearly 100,000......
