Then it is the disposal of the surrendered soldiers, sixty percent of the soldiers, become the force to build Qingzhou roads, cities, they will spend the next few years in the contribution, this kind of thing is already extremely common under the rule of Lu Bu, these surrendered soldiers, unless they are the elite, it is difficult to be selected by the generals of the various departments to fill the army, the strength of a strength, directly affects what kind of credit the generals may achieve on the battlefield in the future, at this point, the generals of the ministries of course hope that the standards are as strict as possible, They will even secretly raise the bar for treating surrendered soldiers.

The generals of each department are not fixed, only the people below have the ability, and it is very likely that it will affect the position of the generals, and such things have not happened in the army.

Lu Bu firmly believes that if a large army wants to be stronger, what is needed is the spirit of hard work and enterprising, and slackness will become the main factor in the decline of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

Breaking through Qingzhou is of great significance to Lu Bu, which shows that Lu Bu's forces have begun to set foot in the Central Plains, as long as they gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou, Xuzhou has the support of Zang Ba, and if there is a battle between the two sides in the coming days, the hope of capturing Xuzhou will be greater.

On the battlefield of Jingzhou, Cao's army attacked Xiangyang for only five days, Cao Cao got information from Qingzhou, Linzi City was breached, Yuan Tan fled to Xuzhou, which made Cao Cao a little uneasy, the most unstable person in Xuzhou is Zang Ba, even if Zang Ba took refuge in him, deep down he is wary of Zang Ba, and now Yuan Tan is in Xuzhou, if Zang Ba and Yuan Tan are united in one place, threatening the safety of Xuzhou, this time to send troops to Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will end without a problem, but the war has reached the point where it is, All he could do was send officials to investigate the situation, after all, Zang Ba was his general at this time.

After Qingzhou was breached, Cao Cao realized the situation Yuan Shao was facing, no matter what the situation of Qingzhou was at this time, as long as Linzi was in the hands of Yuan Shao, he had the confidence to continue to negotiate with Lu Bu, after Linzi was breached, it meant that Yuan Shao had no way to retreat, in this case, Yuan Shao's only choice was to fight with Lu Bu.

With Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in his hands at this time and Lu Bu decisive battle, the most likely situation is failure, the strength of the army under Lu Bu is undoubted, just this attack Yuan Shao mobilized the number of cavalry more than 10,000, more than 10,000 cavalry on the battlefield will have what kind of destructive power is imaginable, tens of thousands of cavalry charging together, even if there are 50,000 foot soldiers, do not dare to easily plunder its edge, the strength of the cavalry under Lu Bu, once again shown in front of the princes, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, there is a big gap with Lu Bu in terms of the number and elite of cavalry.

Cavalry is the key factor in the victory or defeat on the battlefield, especially when the two armies are in a decisive battle, the cavalry charge is extremely deadly, unable to stop the cavalry charge, the most likely situation is defeat.

Half a month later, Cao Cao received a war report from Jizhou, Yuan Shao committed suicide in defeat, and Qinghe County and Bohai County were re-owned by Lü Bu.

This situation made Cao Cao sigh, the original lord of the princes and alliances was defeated and committed suicide, which shows how far Lu Bu forced Yuan Shao, a few years ago, who would have thought that the lords of the princes who had a great reputation in the world would be defeated and committed suicide, and the reason for all this was because of Lu Bu, a military general who obeyed Yuan Shao's orders at that time.

Gongsun Zhan, the military general who posed the greatest threat to Yuan Shao, was exterminated by Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao made a mistake in his judgment of the situation at that time, which offended Lu Bu and was thrown into the quagmire of war by Lu Bu, the battlefield of Youzhou failed, the battlefield of Hanoi failed, the battlefield of Jizhou failed, and now Qingzhou is a failure.

Even if Yuan Shao didn't provoke Lu Bu at the beginning, Lu Bu's ambition would not let Yuan Shao attack Youzhou.

"Lord, now that Yuan Shao's army has been defeated and killed, Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of Lu Bu, if our army cannot break through Xiangyang as quickly as possible, the army of Qingzhou will inevitably affect the safety of Xuzhou." Xun Yu Dao.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, "Xiangyang City is high and deep, and there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, if Zhuge ** is in a hurry, maybe the Jingzhou Navy will be transferred to Xiangyang, in this way, Xiangyang's troops can reach 40,000 people, and if our army is dragged by Zhuge Liang in Xiangyang, the Jiangdong Army may be the cheapest one." ”

When the strategists in the tent heard this, they also nodded secretly, Cao Jun is now in a more embarrassing situation, attacking Xiangyang, not daring to use all his strength, lest Zhuge Liang be transferred to Xiangyang through the Jingzhou Water Army, Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army Su Ri'an temporarily reached an agreement, but in the face of real interests, the so-called covenant will definitely be torn up, Sun Ce is a person who is not willing to be lonely, sitting in Jiangdong, he must want to get more, once Cao Jun breaks through Jingzhou, it means that Jiangdong's expansion to the Central Plains has been stopped.

The reason why Sun Ce repeatedly attacked Jiangxia has a lot to do with Sun Jian's death in the hands of Liu Biao, and it is also related to Sun Ce's ambitions.

"If the war is so protracted, it will be a great drain for our army, although Zhuge Liang has resourcefulness, but Jingzhou's strength is not comparable to our army, why don't our army follow the example of the Marquis of Jin and send a fierce general into the hinterland of Jingzhou, if it can be successful, even if Jingzhou's naval army enters Xiangyang, it is difficult to play a role." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, sending a large army into Jingzhou, he had also thought about this method, but this is a very risky move, if it succeeds, it is gratifying, failure has a great impact on his own army, the number of Cao troops is large, but compared with the army under Lu Bu, it is lacking at the elite level, otherwise, with 100,000 troops, it is not a problem to break through Xiangyang.

"The lord should make a decision as soon as possible, although the Jiangdong army is strong, it is not a matter of concern, as long as Xiangyang can be broken, Jingzhou will inevitably be in chaos, and the family in Jingzhou will not let Sun Ce succeed easily, compared with the lord, the Jiangdong army is still weak." Xun Yu Dao.

Since the Cao army attacked Xiangyang, it has indeed received a lot of officials from Jingzhou, these officials represent the power of the family in more cases, the Cao army is strong, and Jingzhou is weak, Liu Bei has just captured Yizhou, and the strength is not enough to pose a threat to the Cao army, and the family will naturally have other moves.
