Liu Wei sent Gao Shun, Chen Dao, and Pei Junsan to Taiyuan, and at the same time sent the 3,000 trapping camp in Gao Shun's hands. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The original trapped camp was abandoned by Lu Bu in the battle with Chang'an, and was defeated by the Modao army, and the elite was lost, leaving only Gao Shun and less than fifty people to survive. Later, after Liu Wei's persuasion, Gao Shun led the rest of the trapping camp to surrender, and Liu Biao re-asked Gao Shun to form a trapping camp of 3,000 people.

It has been three years since the trapped camp was formed, and it can be said that the ordinary army has been trained for three years. And the army on Liu Wei's side is more rigorously trained, and the trapped camp is under Gao Shun's training, and what he eats is an advantage in equipment, which can be said to be the elite of the elite.

Liu Wei sent three people to Taiyuan with the trapped camp, and asked them to select ape-armed people in the Taiyuan army, which was to form a strange army. And Liu Wei asked Li Xianzhong to pretend to be sick, which was also to prepare for this strange army and pave the way for Li Jing.

However, the current form is still unclear, and Liu Wei doesn't know whether his preparations are useful or not, everything depends on Yuan Shao's movements after the end of winter.

Xun Yu took Li Jing back to Shangjun to meet Liu Bowen, and Li Jing helped to plan land in the northern part of Bingzhou, allocate manpower, and arrange the resettlement of the Hu people. And Xue Rengui from Youzhou also received the news and went to discuss with Yuwen Chengdu. After some negotiations, the patriarchs of the various tribes also agreed to the relocation, and then the officials of Youzhou went to Saiwai to register the Hu population. Grain and grass were also raised in various places for the relocation of the Hu people.

A decision made by Liu Wei, and at the same time, let the two states act at the same time, and time passed in a flash, and in a blink of an eye, it came to February of the following year, February 198 AD, and February of the fourth year of Jian'an.

Such a big move in the two states of Youhe was soon discovered by the spies of the princes from all walks of life. The migration of hundreds of thousands of Hu people used a lot of manpower and material resources in the two states, and Cui Hao, who had a keen perception, immediately sensed that this was an opportunity.

Jizhou Yecheng, Assassin Mansion, Cui Hao came to see Yuan Shao, and then Yuan Shao summoned a group of civil and military personnel to discuss major matters.

Cui Hao was the leader of the civil official, followed by Xu You, Xianbei, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others. There are Yan Liang, Zhang Jaw, Jiang Qi, Chun Yuqiong and others on the side of the generals, in addition to Yuan Shaoxin's two generals, Yang Dayan and Gao. Yang Dayan was excavated from the army, and Gao Gao was a member of the Gao clan, Yuan Shao's wife's uncle.

Since the beginning of this year, Cui Hao reformed the Jizhou government, military administration, training soldiers and horses, although the people everywhere were exiled under the rule of Liu Wei, but also vacated a large number of fields, Cui Hao used these land, the implementation of the Tuntian strategy, the soldiers were divided into soldiers and county soldiers, and the county soldiers implemented Tuntian and defended the city.

Now that Jizhou is under the governance of Cui Hao, the normal combat strength has reached as many as 200,000, and the reason why Yuan Shao's strength has not decreased but increased, and so many soldiers and horses have been raised in one state. It was because Cui Hao persuaded the Yanshan Black Mountain Army to take refuge last year.

The Montenegrin army claims to be one million, but there are as many as 300,000 soldiers and horses, and they are mixed in the Taihang Mountains, living by plundering and growing their own crops, but they can't feed them at all. The original Jizhou was ruled by a family, and there was no extra land to accept the Montenegrin army, but since the people fled, the extra land was used by Cui Hao to accept the Montenegrin army.

The Montenegrin army was originally the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and with the addition of Liu Wei, he successively swept away part of Montenegro and Baibo in Bingzhou. It can be said that Liu Bian's attitude towards the Yellow Turban is very resolute, so Zhang Yan naturally will not choose to take refuge in Liu Bian. And it happened that the Montenegrin army was difficult to survive, and Jizhou had a lot of extra land, so Cui Hao personally lobbied Zhang Yan, and after some bargaining, Zhang Yan finally agreed to surrender to Yuan Shao.

After the Montenegrin army came out of the mountains, the population went to live in various places where the people were lost, reclaimed the land, selected the elite to gather into soldiers, and selected the young and strong to become the county soldiers. However, Jizhou seems to be strong, but after Liu Wei's business war, it was a great loss of vitality, and there was a serious shortage of grain and grass.

Yuan Shao in the hall said in a deep voice: "According to the news from the spies in Youzhou, the Hu people who are attached to Youzhou outside the Saiwai were placed in Bingzhou by Liu Wei, and now the manpower and material resources of Youzhou are moving the Hu people. In other words, the soldiers and horses of these two states have no threat to our Jizhou during this time. So Bo Yuan suggested that I attack Qingzhou during this time, what do you think? ”

"Qingzhou is like a fish in the throat for the lord, and now Liu Biao is cultivating business, but on Wudang Mountain, Liu Bian's chapter "Asking Yuan Yuanwen" shows that he will definitely attack the lord after recuperation. As the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest, and the second strike suffers, so the lord should indeed take this opportunity to capture Qingzhou. Xu You arched his hand and said.

"I also thought it was imperative to attack Qingzhou!" The rest of the strategists also nodded yes, and as soon as Cui Hao arrived under Yuan Shao's command, he used various means to make Xu Yu Fengji and the others work together.

Yuan Shao was relieved: "Qingzhou's strength should not be underestimated, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, Wenyang's generation is strong in martial arts, and Chen Qingzhi is scheming. In addition, there are Lin Renzhao, Lin Chong, Yu Yunwen, Tai Shici and others, if they stick to Qingzhou. Although there are many of our troops, it is difficult to take Qingzhou in a short time. If Qingzhou is not taken before the matter of the relocation of the Hu people is over, so that the soldiers and horses of the two states can ease their breath, they will definitely attack our Jizhou and relieve the siege of Qingzhou. Therefore, in order to ensure the capture of Qingzhou in a short time, I decided to unite with Zhao Kuangyin and send troops to attack Qingzhou in two ways. Xu Yu has been in charge of the alliance, so you will send an envoy to Yanzhou again to discuss the matter of the two states sending troops to attack Qingzhou. ”

Once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope, since the defeat of Qingzhou, after tasting the power of Qingzhou, Yuan Shao also became cautious, coupled with Cui Hao's suggestion, Yuan Shao took the initiative to jointly attack Qingzhou with Yanzhou Zhao Kuangyin.

"Yes, my lord!" Xu Yu's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, he went to Yanzhou last time, but he received a lot of oil and water.

"But my lord, let's send troops in two ways, after Qingzhou is taken, it will not be our Jizhou family, how will Qingzhou be divided after the matter is completed?" Xu Yu asked.

Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "Now that my Jizhou has reached the point of life and death, the destruction of Qingzhou is just to sweep away this threat." After the matter was completed, Donglai and Beihai counties belonged to Zhao Kuangyin, and other places belonged to me. These two counties are the two richest counties in Qingzhou, and although I have a lot of territory, I can only reach these two counties. You are even more Zhao Kuangyin said that he knows the current situation and will agree. ”

Xu You gave up his hand and took the order: "My subordinates understand!"

But as soon as Yuan Shao said this, those generals were unwilling, and Yan Liang said in a deep voice: "Lord, we now have 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jizhou, and the last defeat was careless to underestimate the enemy. Now that we are attacking in a big way, are you still afraid that we will not be able to defeat Qingzhou in a short time? ”

"That's it, the lord, the last general will be newly invested, and the construction work for the lord has not yet been built, so what Qin Qiong, what are Luo Shixin's people afraid of? My lord, let me be a pioneer, and watch me kill these two! Yang was wide-eyed and Gao Gao also shouted.

Yuan Shao looked at the three generals and said with a smile: "I know that you are brave, but Qin Qiong Luo Shixin is not an ordinary person, and the current situation does not allow me to be cautious." If Qingzhou can't be destroyed in a short period of time, and Youzhou is freed up, there will be no chance to destroy Qingzhou. I have made up my mind, so don't talk about it. ”

"It's the lord!" The three generals had no choice but to give up.

"Bo Yuan, such a great time, tell me how to attack Qingzhou?" Yuan Shao looked at Cui Hao and asked.

"There are few soldiers in Qingzhou, there are fierce generals on the opposite side, and there are many strategists, our army should attack with strength, suppress the soldiers and horses on both sides head-on, and level it as soon as possible with the momentum of thunder." Cui Hao replied.

"Now our army has 200,000 soldiers to fight, but Youzhou, Merge State, and? Hanoi also had to be defended on three sides. How do you think it should be arranged? ”

"On the Youzhou side, Xue Rengui is brave and invincible, and Youzhou should be able to use about 10,000 soldiers and horses according to my estimates. Therefore, our army should deploy 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend Xue Rengui in the north, focusing on defense, and must not go into battle, so we should send a steady general to defend! ”

Yuan Shao looked at the generals below, and finally fell on the head of Zhang He, Zhang He is a veteran and a stable person. Yuan Shao looked at Zhang He and ordered: "Zhang He, you lead an army of 30,000 to defend Xue Rengui in the north, and you are mainly on defense, and you are not allowed to fight."

"What about the Taihang Mountains in Bingzhou? And how to arrange it? Yuan Shao continued to ask.

Cui Hao replied: "From Bingzhou to Jizhou, there is the steepness of Taihang Mountain, and there are not many soldiers available in Bingzhou, only 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it is rumored that Li Xianzhong has been sick in bed since last winter, and there is no commander in Bingzhou, so it is unlikely that they will send troops." You only need to send a general who is familiar with mountain warfare to lead 10,000 troops to defend! ”

"Zhang Yan, you will lead 10,000 troops to defend and station in Jingjing Pass, and build a village in that area to defend and state soldiers and horses!" Yuan Shao immediately understood and immediately ordered.

"As for the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, Hanoi, Liu Wei has too many ministers in Luoyang Pass, and it is impossible for their soldiers and horses to be dispatched. So you only need to use 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend it, and Jiang Qi will lead 20,000 troops to guard Muye! Yuan Shao didn't ask Cui Hao anymore, and after thinking about it, he gave an order.

As for Yecheng, he left 10,000 soldiers and horses, and immediately raised 130,000 troops to attack Qingzhou. Wait for you to prepare immediately, garrison the plain, and wait for Zhao Kuangyin to respond, and then send troops to attack Qingzhou in two ways! Yuan Shao stood up, holding his sword and ordered.

Soon, Jizhou's soldiers and horses were mobilized, and 130,000 soldiers and horses were stationed on the plain, known as 200,000, and they rushed straight to Qingzhou.

And Xu You sent an envoy to Yanzhou, and Zhao Kuangyin of Yanzhou quickly responded, raising 100,000 troops to attack Beihai from Taishan County. Zhao Kuangyin personally took command, led by Hou Junji Yuzhou soldiers and horses, Xu Chu, Hua Yun and others as generals, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others as the conspiracy.

230,000 soldiers and horses, attacking Qingzhou from the north and south, with a fierce momentum and a monstrous momentum. The news soon reached Liu Bian's direction, and Liu Biao immediately convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures. As the attacked party, Qingzhou, under the call of Kong Rong, a group of civil and military personnel also gathered in Xixian County to discuss countermeasures.
