0008 Expedition to Yanzhou

Lu Bu's thoughts were flying, and when he heard Zang Ba say goodbye to him, he immediately collected his thoughts, and replied with a smile: "Okay, good, General Zang's military orders are in his body, and it is inconvenient for Lu to stay for a long time, but in the future, if General Zang needs Lu Bu's help, just open his mouth, and he will do his best to help the general!" ”

Zang Ba smiled faintly, hugged his hands and said goodbye: "Zang Ba is here to thank the general for his kindness first, and we will have a meeting later!" ”

Zang Ba was just about to turn around and leave, but he turned his horse back and said: "Since Yuan Benchu has been eliminated, Xiapi is vacant, the general can go to Xiapi garrison for convenience, okay, Zang Ba has finished speaking, goodbye!" ”

Looking at Zang Ba's departing figure, Lu Bu felt a trace of sigh in his heart, Zang Ba is straightforward, crisp, and not dragging his feet at all, and he also keeps a good distance from 'strangers' like Lu Bu, and does not give Lu Bu a chance to get close or probe at all, such a person is also a good hand, Lu Bu told himself.

Although Lu Bu felt quite emotional in his heart, the reality was still in front of him, and he could only repack and rush towards his new stationed city.

drove away Yuan Shao, Lu Bu didn't expect Xiapi to arrive like this, Xiapi is not far from Xuzhou City, and the reason why Zang Ba let himself go to Xiapi to station, isn't this the rhythm of intentionally helping me say good things? Lu Bu thought in his heart, that is, he began to gather soldiers and march towards Xiapi.

The news that Yuan Shao was killed near Donghai City, like a flat thunder, spread throughout the Central Plains is the Han Dynasty, and for a while, people's views on Tao Qian and Lu Bu have changed greatly.

Among them, the most angry is, of course, Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's original idea was to wait for Yuan Shao to be stationed in Xiapi to stabilize, and then carry out a sneak attack on Xuzhou, he originally thought that Yuan Shao would be nailed to Xuzhou like a nail, and then he would wait for the opportunity to attack Xuzhou, which could be a big deal.

However, what Yuan Shu never expected was that Tao Qian dared to attack Yuan Shao enough, and Tao Qian dared to take in people like Lu Bu, and also joined forces with Lu Bu to kill Yuan Shao, but it was really much beyond Yuan Shu's guess, and it was completely unexpected by him.

Yuan Shu couldn't sit still anymore, Tao Qian and Lu Bu were provoking their endurance, Yuan Shao, as his own brother, also took the five thousand soldiers and horses he had just lent him to Xuzhou, you know, whether it was Yuan Shao himself or the five thousand soldiers and horses, it was enough for Yuan Shu to feel distressed for a long time, of course, the five thousand soldiers and horses were even more so.

So, at the same time that Yuan Shu received that Yuan Shao was killed, he summoned Yang Hong to discuss the matter of marching into Xuzhou, and at this time, Yuan Shu also had a good excuse to attack Xuzhou - to avenge his brother, this reason is high-sounding enough.

Yang Hong is a delicate person, he knows that now Liu Jing in the north is about to move, and Tao Qian in the south is taking this opportunity to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, this is probably a trap, but at this time, at the stall where Yuan Shao was killed, you propose to stand still, which is obviously not in line with common sense and people's hearts.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Hong still didn't think of any excuse to avoid this tough battle temporarily, so he simply agreed to Yuan Shu's idea.

Yuan Shu took advantage of this momentum, mobilized the men and horses, gathered a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, led by Ji Ling and Zhang Xun respectively, 20,000 respectively, divided the troops into two routes, and marched towards Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu only gave them the primary target was Yuan Shao's burial place in the East China Sea, and Lu Bu's underground pi, where he was stationed.

Liu Jing, who is very concerned about all the battles in the Central Plains, will naturally not be idle, and the news of Yuan Shao's death also reached Liu Jing's ears at the same time, since Yuan Shao was reasonably killed by Lu Bu and Zang Ba, then Yuan Shu will definitely raise troops to avenge him, this is an inevitable thing.

Therefore, Liu Jing realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a good opportunity for him to go south to capture Yanzhou, because once Yuan Shu gathered troops and horses to attack Xuzhou, then he would not have time to seek revenge on him Liu Jing.

When Liu Jing wanted to attack Yanzhou before, the reason why he was afraid of Yuan Shu was that when he attacked Yanzhou, Yuan Shu would raise troops to attack Jizhou in the name of avenging Yuan Shao, or join forces with Zhang Miao to attack Liu's army.

And if this is really the case, Liu Jing still has to defend against four hands with two fists, although Liu Jing does not have much worry about taking Yanzhou, but if the opponent in front of him is in addition to Zhang Miao, plus Yuan Shu, then Liu Jiajun's losses may be greater.

And for this potential danger of too many deaths, Liu Jing is still very concerned, because, no matter every battle that will be fought, unless it is necessary to go to war, Liu Jing will estimate the general difficulty of the battle, as well as the damage situation, in order to make more accurate decisions, which is a good habit that Liu Jing has maintained for many years.

The reason why Liu Jing will slowly develop and grow is inseparable from his caution and caution, so Liu Jing will wait for Yuan Shu to attack Xuzhou before deciding to attack Yanzhou, and as long as he takes Yanzhou and surrounds Qingzhou on the side, then Liu Jing will not be soft, and he will definitely go all out to take Qingzhou.

In the city and county government of Youzhou, Liu Jing has already summoned Zhuge Liang, Jian Yong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang He, Zhang Liao and other civil and military generals.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not transferred back to Youzhou City by Liu Jing because they had to garrison Jizhou City and Bohai City respectively, so the plan to attack Yanzhou this time only relied on Zhao Yun, Zhang He and Zhang Liao, because Dian Wei was the leader of Liu Jing's guards, so naturally he would not be too far away from Liu Jing.

Liu Jing's plan to capture Yanzhou this time gathered a total of 30,000 elite soldiers, including Zhuge Liang as the commander-in-chief before the war, and set out on the expedition, so that Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Zhang Liao were the vanguard generals, each commanding 10,000 troops, and the troops were divided into three routes, marching into Yanzhou, and fully assisting Zhuge Liang to take Yanzhou.

In order to appease Jian Yong, Liu Jing handed over another extremely important matter to Jian Yong, and this matter was Liu Jing's long-planned plan to 'move the capital', Liu Jing planned to move the seat of Youzhou from Jizhou City to Beiping City, so as to make Beiping the capital of his rule.

Zhuge Liang received the military order, took Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Zhang Liao and others to leave Youzhou City, and advanced towards Jizhou, preparing to assemble and coordinate in Pingyuan County, and then issue military orders together to march into Yanzhou.

Jian Yong, on the other hand, went to Beiping with Liu Jing's trust, conspired with Xu Shu, and began to prepare for the 'relocation of the capital'.
