At the beginning, Cao Xing was ordered by Lu Bu to help Yan Xing, in fact, he only brought 30,000 military horses, and he was a light horse, this is not that Lu Bu was stingy, nor was it that more people and horses could not be transferred, it must be known that in Luoyang, 100,000 forbidden troops, guards at all levels, and township soldiers can be said to be deployed by Lu Bu at will, and then including the 100,000 merger army that initially stabilized down, on Lu Bu's side, it was absolutely impossible to have Cao Cao's worry that recruiting soldiers and horses would arouse public resentment, but at that time, under the analysis of Jia Xu and others, Lu Bu was actually already wary of Yan Xing, so he had such reservations.

Anyway, for Lu Bu, only sending these 30,000 people has no impact on the overall situation, in fact, whether he can get rid of Ma Chao Lu Bu doesn't mind, the most beneficial thing for him is to form a stalemate, the best thing is that Ma Yan and Yan are incompatible, and after constantly friction and accumulation of contradictions, they will erupt and end up together, so in the end, of course, only he will come over to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Of course, he also knows that this assumption is not very realistic, and the benefits in this world are not so easy to obtain, especially at this time, the forces on Yan Xing's side in Liangzhou can be seen to be at a disadvantage, and the Ma family soldiers are very powerful, even if Cao Xing's 30,000 people arrive, it can only be said that the number of soldiers is slightly close to six or seven percent of the Ma family's army, and it is just a little to alleviate Yan Xing's difficult situation.

But even if they had been on guard for a long time, Lu Bu and the others still couldn't imagine that this Yan Xing would be so powerful, under the condition that Cao Xing's 30,000 people were dispatched by him. Unceremoniously let them go out to contain the part of the main force led by Ma Chao, and I don't know how they really did it, or this has something to do with the previous incident, after all, Ma Chao had already suffered a double defeat of himself and the army when he faced Yan Xing alone, and it was also a heavy blow to his personal prestige - it is worth mentioning that this is also the reason why Lu Bu will be wary of Yan Xing; At the same time, this Yan Xing can be regarded as a master of art, and in the case of leaving a large army as a disguise, he actually led a small number of people to make a detour to attack Ma Teng's headquarters, and the final result is visible to the world. Ma Teng died. Ma Jiajun has lacked the backbone since then, and Ma Chao at this time is even more difficult to support alone, and some things after that are not difficult to predict.

Since then, the situation in Liangzhou has fallen into confusion. At that time, the only leader of Ma Jiajun was Ma Chao. And there are tens of thousands of soldiers to fight. In the end, it was scattered in a chase by Cao Xing, and all the staff were nowhere to be found, although there were doubts about the inside story. But Jia Xu still followed the established strategy and sent a guide to stabilize the situation in Liangzhou, as for Yan Xing, he had a look at it at this time, only on the pretext that Jincheng still had many things to deal with, and he didn't have the slightest intention of asking for credit in a corner of Anju, which made Jia Xu, who originally wanted to do something, could only focus on the overall situation and let go of Yan Xing first.

The recruitment was carried out very smoothly in Liangzhou, but at this time, Cao Xing had already led his troops in Hongnong County, that is, where the fiefdom was located after the deposed of the first emperor Liu Wei, and was stationed here to rest.

Jia Xu's hand is also very good, Guanzhong, especially in the Jingzhao region, has always been unclear about Lu Bu's attitude, even Yin Fengyang is violated, and Jia Xu has also heard of Duan Xuan's empty shelf, and Jingzhao Weishi is a local force that Lu Bu can't move lightly now, he puts the move in Kansai and Cao Xing in Kandong, which is equivalent to blocking Jinggi, even if he can't succeed in coercion, at least it can make the other party feel a headache.

In addition, of course, this Cao Xing force also has the responsibility of supervising Hedong, and it can also be regarded as a flanking attack, but this time it is with the merger state in the north, and Jia Xu over there has also greeted the Dai Bingzhou Mu Chen Palace.

In fact, Li Ru and others said that they lived in the corner of Hedong, which is not accurate, it should be said that from the north of Hedong, including Pingyang County, some areas were also occupied by them, but Lu Bu never seemed to want to take it back, let them take root here, of course, they are also very knowledgeable, generally just upside down on their own one-third of an acre, dare not cross the line half a step.

At that time, when they heard that Cao Xing did not return to Luoyang after leading the troops from Guanzhong, but was in the Hongnong camp, Li Ru and the others were nervous for a while, worried that this might be a precursor for Lu Bu to make a move against them.

Speaking of which, their attitude towards Lu Bu is very complicated, they are unwilling to take the initiative to provoke him, but they will not really be afraid of him, if they have to go to war, they will never retreat or surrender, but they will not take the initiative to attack, this is actually the policy that Li Ru deliberately set when he saw that the morale of those soldiers under his command had been low since Dong Zhuo's death and had not recovered until now, because their morale had declined, and if they encountered Lu Bu's mountain again, the result was self-evident.

Most of the more than 40,000 people under their command are the remnants of the original Xiliang Iron Cavalry, only the thousands of people under Hua Xiong are the people and horses brought out of the Luoyang guards, and no matter which part of the people, they cowered in this corner of Hedong, not to mention that it was difficult for them to obtain their original status, and they were greatly affected psychologically, partly because of the previous successive defeats until Dong Zhuo's death, and they felt that the backbone was gone, and the other part was because they were far away from their hometown and were tormented by a strong sense of longing.

At this time, the concept of region is deep-rooted, if you are away for too long, you have been far away from your hometown and relatives, then even if it is the order of the king of heaven, it will arouse the anger of the soldiers.

One of the most typical examples of this is that in the later stage of the Chu and Han wars, the Chu army was trapped and stubbornly resisted, and as a result, the Han army was embattled, which made the Chu army distraught and the soldiers had no intention of fighting.

In short, soldiers are also human beings, and now it is not like the future generations, through guò all kinds of so-called political education, so that some people can live in the same place for most of their lives, and they cannot return to their hometown and have no relatives to accompany them.

At that time, Dong's building was about to fall, which was a bit of a return to the roots, but it was also the time when morale was the highest. But the good times didn't last long, and after repeated changes, now they can't even go back to their hometown, compared to the thousands of guards, it is already a good place, at least many of them are from Hedong, and the rest of them are not so unaccustomed to this place because of its proximity.

In Hedong for several months, Li Ru is also trying all kinds of ways to stimulate morale, although he himself has not yet thought about what to do after stimulating morale, but unfortunately it has little effect, and sometimes it almost has the opposite effect, and finally Li Ru simply let it go, he didn't say anything, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong and Xu Huang and others only pretended not to know, and only Zhang Xiu occasionally showed his hatred for Lu Bu, and this hatred was naturally instilled in his subordinates.

Because Zhang Xiu is good at governing the army, and is also deeply loved by his subordinates, so these 10,000 people are deeply affected by him, and this time he rashly sent troops and joined forces with Ma Chao to attack Cao Xing, which is actually equivalent to declaring war on Lu Bu.

Even after Yan Xing arrived "in time", they suffered defeat, but they were not dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu, but they just felt that Lu Bu was really "a big bully", which made Li Ru not know what to say when he knew it.

A large number of his own people were dragged into the water by Zhang Xiu, and the bird still seemed to be a little unconcerned, Li Ru was also very dissatisfied in his heart, but first, he read Zhang Ji's feelings, and secondly, Zhang Xiu was defeated, and he could still understand, but after he made a decision to favor Zhang Xiu, he really didn't know where this decision would take him and others.

Presumably, like Xu Huang and Hua Xiong, they are also confused, right?

Of course, Lu Bu didn't know their confusion at this time, he was also very busy, but he was busy.

During this time, there were frequent exchanges between people and horses from Luoyang to Hebei, and some of them were people-to-people exchanges, similar to the Bingzhou Chamber of Commerce in Hebei. The other part is naturally military operations, that is, the deployment of troops.

Originally, Lu Bu only brought 60,000 soldiers and horses to Hebei, and those who did not consider the loss, even if they directly added those who had been surrendered locally, wanted to divide the troops into the northeast and northwest at the same time, it was also stretched, especially although the opponent's morale plummeted, in the end it was still the remnants of the former Hebei overlord, and the so-called emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and Lu Bu had to pay attention to it.

This time, he also planned to finish his work in one battle, Yuan Shao was not taken seriously by Lu Bu, not to mention the three juniors with obvious weaknesses, but even so, Lu Bu would not be arrogant, and if he wanted to crush him with absolute strength, then the strength would definitely be indispensable, so the only way to transfer troops from Luoyang was to transfer troops.

Of course, the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, at this point, Lu Bu had to sigh how correct his decision was to leave Xun Yu behind, although it is difficult to guarantee that there is no capable person in this area in the DPRK, but he may not be able to use his own intentions, it is always Xun Yu This kind of subdued person is more at ease, and he will never let Lu Bu worry, everything is done properly, no wonder Jia Xu said in the letter that compared to himself, Xun Yu is more suitable to preside over the affairs of Luoyang, of course, Lu Bu directly refuted it.

As for the matter of Hedong, Jia Xu also came to report, Lu Bu didn't pay attention to it, to put it mildly, he really didn't take that side in his eyes, if Jia Xu couldn't even do this thing, he would waste his trust and trust, even if the next opponent might be Li Ru.

In short, the most important thing for him now is to solve the matter of Hebei as much as possible, at least Jizhou must be calmed down first, as for the Qingzhou side, he has also calmed down, Cao Cao wants to gnaw this bone, and he has to be careful not to cuckle his throat, especially with Beihai, a large county nailed to the heart of Qingzhou, Lu Bu believes that he has his own greeting, and Kong Rong will "entertain" Cao Cao well.
