In the second year of Jian'an, in 197 A.D., taking advantage of the defeat of Cao Cao and the Tiger Prison, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Yangwei General Zhang Xiu totaled 80,000 troops to attack Xuchang under the slogan of "Qing Jun Side Punishment Cao Cao", the two soldiers were divided into two roads, one way Zhang Xiu commanded 30,000 troops, 10,000 foot soldiers and 20,000 elite Xiliang cavalry soldiers went out of Ye County and approached Kun County, and the second road had Jingzhou General Wen Ping Commander, 45,000 foot soldiers, and 5,000 cavalry totaling 50,000 from Wuyin to Yuncheng.

Jingzhou is a rich land in the world, the Yellow Turban Rebellion Jingzhou except for the outbreak of large-scale rebels in Nanyang, other counties have survived, so a large number of people from the Central Plains poured into Jingzhou, resulting in Jingzhou's economy is unprecedentedly prosperous, feeling the strength of the cavalry, Liu Biao successively purchased a large number of Xiliang war horses through the line of Hanzhong, and formed a cavalry of about 10,000 people, with his subordinate Liu Pan commanding.

Even the cavalry of Yuan Shao in the land of the four states is only twenty or thirty thousand, and Liu Biao, who is deep in the south, has a considerable cavalry to show Liu Biao's power, and this time Liu Biao sent troops to Xuchang Liu Biao not only sent Wenpin this Jingzhou Zhushi, but also equipped with Cai Zhong, Cai He, Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Zhang Hu (Jiangxia thief is not the son of Zhang Liao), Chen Sheng and other generals, and also let Liu Pan command 5,000 cavalry to help, which shows Liu Biao's determination to beat the water dogs.

Liu Biao in history was praised by Cao Cao as the dog of defending the land, not thinking of enterprising, before the battle of Guandu, Liu Biao still had the intention of going north, and after Cao Cao's victory in the battle of Guandu, Liu Biao completely broke off the idea of going north, except for the heavy garrison in Jiangxia to guard against Sun Quan did little to do.

This time Cao Cao went west to Chang'an, Liu Biao was also holding a wait-and-see attitude and happened to be a scout to report that Sun Ce had the intention of attacking Jiangxia, Liu Biao's mind was focused on Jiangxia, who knew that he did not wait for the news of Sun Ce's invasion of Jiangxia but waited for the news of Cao Cao's defeat under the Tiger Prison, Liu Biao's dead heart suddenly seemed to come alive again, exuding infinite vitality.

Liu Biao is one of the eight horses, and he entered Jingzhou single-handedly, and this ability can be compared with several people in ancient and modern times. And Yang Shuo's rise is not just a miracle but a series of chain reactions, and Liu Biao is also because of a series of changes, and the ambition in his chest is flourishing again.

Liu showed that Bai Cao Cao was under more pressure than any other prince as the ruler of the Central Plains, and Cao Cao later moved the capital to Xuchang to achieve the goal of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but also attracted the hostile eyes of all the princes to him Cao Cao, including the northern overlord Yuan Shao.

If it is said that Cao Cao has been brave all the way forward as in history, first destroying Zhang Xiu, then destroying Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and standing in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Sizhou, with strong power, then Cao Cao can do whatever he wants with the prestige of the Son of Heaven, but now, with Cao Cao's defeat under the Tiger Prison, his strength has been greatly damaged, just like Zhou Tianzi, there is no power and he still wants to order the world to be slapped in the face or in the face, and now Cao Cao is facing this situation.

Cao Cao's defeat was what the princes liked to see, Liu Biao knew that even if he didn't make a move, others would never let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, first of all, Yuan Shu, who was robbed of Yuzhou and entrenched in Shouchun, would never miss the opportunity.

Some people may ask, since sooner or later someone is going to make a move against Cao Cao, why not wait for others to do it, and take Cao Cao by surprise while Cao Cao is in a hurry?

Because Liu Biao has his own plans!

First of all, when the princes of the Eighteen Roads asked for Dong, no one from the Liu clan except for one Liu Dai participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, which made Liu Biao, one of the eight horses, a little embarrassed, and secondly, after Yuan Shu and other princes sent troops, Liu Biao could no longer play the slogan of "Qing Jun Side Punishment Cao Cao", you must know that it is very important for the ancient expeditionary division to be famous, and Zhang Xiu, who is entrenched in Nanyang, has always been a pain in his heart, when there is a strong enemy Cao Cao in the north, and Sun Ce, a rising little overlord in the east, Liu Biao calculates that this uses the elite Xiliang soldiers to resist Cao Cao's attack, But now that Cao Cao's strength has been greatly damaged, there is no point in keeping Zhang Xiu, and the Jingxiang clan does not like Zhang Xiu, the prince of Xiliang, this time is just an opportunity to eradicate Zhang Xiu.

In Liu Biao's view, when he breaks through Xuchang, he can truly achieve the goal of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, because he has the strength and wealth of Jingzhou as his backing, and he is also surnamed Liu.

When Liu Biao played the slogan of "Qing Jun punishes Cao Cao", the world was in an uproar! No one would have thought that Liu Biao, who has always been loyal and gentle, would take the lead in sending troops, they thought that Cao Cao's army would be defeated in the Tiger Prison, Yuan Shu would be the first to strike, Lu Bu, and even Yuan Shao, but they didn't think about Liu Biao at all, and they didn't expect that Liu Biao, who was the most unlikely in the end, would take the lead in sending troops, which can be said to have stunned everyone's eyes.

And Liu Biao's killer weapon "Qing Jun Side Punishment Cao Cao" also reminded everyone of the original Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the seven princes of the Liu clan led by Liu Bi, the king of Wu, were dissatisfied with Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to adopt the wrong suggestion, weaken the power of the princes and kings, strengthen the centralization, reduce their power, and rebel in the name of "Qing Jun Side". And today, Zi was imprisoned in Xuchang by the powerful minister Cao Cao, and Liu Biao's banner just gave everyone a reason to start a war with Cao Cao.

Liu Biao was the main general of Wenpin, Han Song, Fu Xun, and Deng Xi joined the army, Cai Zhong, Cai He, Liu Pan, Huang Zhong, Wang Wei, Zhang Hu, and Chen Sheng were the generals, and Zhang Xiu, the general of Yangwei, sent 80,000 troops from Nanyang, and the goal was directly aimed at Xuchang.

Wenpin to Huang Zhong as the vanguard, Huang Zhong lived up to expectations, an arrow shot to kill Wufang County, Yuzhou ordered to occupy Wufang first, Wufang is only more than 100 miles away from Xuchang, on the other side Zhang Xiu's army has passed Ye County to Kunyang, and Kunyang is only fifty or sixty miles away from Xuchang, and it can be reached in half a day.

In the middle of the night, when he learned that the two armies were forcing Xuchang, Cao Cao was so shocked that he couldn't care about dressing, and directly wore pajamas to convene a group of civil and military discussions.

Cao Cao and a group of civil and military officers had thought that someone would take advantage of the fire to rob after the defeat at the Tiger Prison Pass, and the first thing they thought of was Yuan Shu, so they generously rewarded Yang Shuo and Zhang Xiu in order to stabilize the two, as for Liu Biao, the others did not consider it at all.

And because Guo Jia was discovered, Cao Cao had to be crowned Yang Shuo as the general of Zhenxi, the captain of Sili, and Pingyanghou, which made Zhang Xiu jealous and unexpected, so that he sent troops to Xuchang at the same time as Liu Biao.

Because he didn't take Liu Biao into account, Cao Cao threw almost all his troops into the eastern battlefield, mainly to guard against the attacks of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Li Dian and other uninjured generals were placed on the front line of Xuzhou and Shouchun, while those who stayed in Xuchang were Cao Ren, Le Jin, Xu Chu and other injured generals, as well as the newly recruited Si Xingfang.

Liu Biao was menacing, not only the princes were shocked, but Cao Cao was also shocked, and the headache seemed to have the possibility of breaking out again.
