Cao Mengde's words made everyone below stand up and applaud warmly, this is a meeting to merge the state to the east. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the meeting, Cao Mengde convened a military mobilization meeting, and Cao Ren, Xun Yu, Xun You, and some generals who followed him all gathered together to speak freely.

"Cao Ren, I ordered you to be the commander of the three armies, focus on attacking the five counties of Jizhou, and observe and wait for changes when you take the five counties!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Cao Ren was naturally well aware of Cao Mengde's appointment, and this eastward advance was also to prepare for the weakening of Bai Rao, Zhang Yan and Zhang Yang's military power.

As long as the strength of this expedition can be maximized, soldiers and horses can be recruited again in the land of the five counties of Jizhou, so that the disturbance of the newly established military department in Jizhou can be bypassed, and the troops can be expanded without limit, which is also one of Cao Mengde's plans.

"Governor Bai Rao, do you think it's appropriate to sleep to supervise the battle this time, how can the four of us send troops?"

Cao Mengde looked at Bai Rao below and asked, Regarding the issue of the proportion of troops, Cao Mengde has always thought that the other three may not send troops, or they will only sit back and wait for the benefits to come.

"First of all, I declare, this time my opinion is to focus on the Cao family, the three Bai families, and two Zhang as auxiliary forces, Prime Minister, you can do your best to the Cao family's troops, and the three of us are to defend the common enemy Xiliang Ma Chao, otherwise the emptiness in the rear will be a disaster for us to let Ma Chao take advantage of the loophole!"

Bai Rao is unwilling to wade into troubled waters, it is important to preserve his strength in troubled times, and Cao Ren is Cao Mengde's confidant, Xun Yu and others have always supported Cao Mengde, there is no need to invest troops in Cao Mengde in exchange for the interests of the five counties, and the troops are in hand, even if Cao Mengde conquers the land of the five counties of Jizhou, it is easy for them to expand their family power and obtain benefits, so if they calculate it, there is no need to send troops.

"Prime Minister, I also think that Brother Bai Rao is right, since we still have the enemy in the west, since we should focus on the west and advance eastward as the auxiliary, you can only lead the Cao family army to attack Jizhou, and we are defending the west!"

Zhang Yang also felt that Bai Rao's idea had figured it out to him, and he couldn't help but come up and echo it.

"What about Brother Zhang Yan?"

Cao Mengde very much hoped that this guy would be the same as them and give up his rights and interests in Jizhou, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yan thought for a while and smiled: "Jizhou is the place where I made my fortune, and now that I am already strong, I naturally want to take back my territory!" “

Zhang Yan agreed to jointly send troops with Cao Mengde, originally Zhang Yang and Bai Rao also hoped that someone would check and balance Cao Mengde's eastward troops, but now it is good that Zhang Yan is willing, and it is really a great joy for everyone.

Only Cao Mengde didn't feel good in his heart, on the one hand, Bai Rao and Zhang Yang took advantage of the loophole, and on the other hand, Zhang Yan was tied to himself, which was in the way, but compared to the situation in the state, Cao Mengde's strength was not a force that could compete with the three families, so he had to give in.

This time, Cao and Zhang dispatched 100,000 cavalry, standing to two-thirds of the 150,000 cavalry in the country, 50,000 assault fire grabbing troops, standing in about half of the country, 150,000 infantry standing in about half of the country, 100,000 archers, accounting for 100% of the domestic infantry force.

..................

The army of Jizhou rushed to the front line, and Lu Bu was restless, and he had to make more than a dozen phone calls a day to inquire about where the troops had arrived.

"Hey, this is Lu Bu's Chenpi camp, please answer the call of staff officer Guo Tu!"

Lu Bu grabbed the phone and made another call.

"Wait a minute, General, this will be connected for you!"

The pleasant female voice on the phone made Lu Bu's mind pause for a while, and he was much more soothed.

"Hey, I'm Guo Tu, please answer when you hear it!"

Lu Bu was excited when he heard the voice on the phone: "Guo Tu, how long will it take for your army to reach Nanpi, the enemy army is about to surround me!" “

"General, don't be in a hurry! Our army has crossed Dongpingshu and will arrive in less than two days! “

Guo Tu patiently explained that there was still a need to arrange grain, grass and ordnance along the way, which did delay some time.

"Alright then, I'll wait for your good news!"

Lu Bu threw away the phone in disappointment, thinking that he couldn't throw it away, so he grabbed it and dialed Tian Feng's phone again.

"Hey, I'm Lu Bu, the defending general of the Nanpi battalion, where have you arrived?"

It just so happened that Tian Feng was in the army, and when he received a call from Lu Bu, he entered the communication office and grabbed the phone: "Hey, I'm Tian Feng, we have arrived at the front line of Anping County, do you have any instructions from the general?" “

Anping County is in the west of Nanpi, the distance is not close, but since this Jizhou is two defensive lines, one is relying on the western defense line headed by Anping County, and the other is relying on the eastern defense line headed by Chen Picheng, it seems that the reinforcements are not the time and place, at this moment Guan Yu's army has surrounded Chen Picheng and is shouting to surrender.

"General! Don't be on the phone! The enemy has already shouted! “

The adjutant hurriedly walked in and saw Lu Bu's dissuasion.

"What, the enemy shouted?"

Lu Bu was startled, and the phone almost broke.

Toot toot toot

A busy tone came from the phone, and the phone was in poor contact and contact was lost.

"Go and climb with me to the tower, and I will see who dares to offend my heavenly might!"

Lu Bu took Fang Tian's halberd and the small pistol on his waist, and walked towards Chen Picheng.

Chenpi City is also a century-old city, the city is high and deep, and it is not easy to attack and defend.

According to Zhuge Liang's strategy, Guan Yu prepared to encircle the point to send reinforcements, which is also Liu Feng's military strategic thinking, that is, to attract reinforcements around the lone army, and then kill them all!

"Listen, people of the city, you are surrounded! Hurry up and open the door and get surrendered! Wait for you to die! “

Guan Yu shouted with a high-powered loudspeaker, and the sound penetrated into every corner of the tangerine peel, frightening the people in the city to run around.

"The Chinese Empire has actually attacked our tangerine peel! It seems that Jizhou is going to die! “

"I didn't expect the Chinese Empire to be so strong, didn't it mean that they had very few troops?"

"Hey, it's all nonsense made up by these high-minded students, the Chinese Empire is already very strong, but it's just not reported in the newspapers every day!"

"I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so stupid, he actually closed his eyes and listened!"

The people in the city talked a lot, and seemed to be aware of the fact that the Chinese Empire was about to fall to Jizhou.

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse, dancing with Fang Tian's halberd and running towards the west gate with his head held high, bringing up a cloud of dust on the street.

"That broom star! was originally driven away from Qingzhou by Liu Feng, and now he has taken refuge in our prime minister, which is simply a scourge to us! “

"That's it, that's it! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have made an enmity with the Chinese Empire, and now it's okay, we're going to die! “

Although the Kingdom of Jizhou was far away for them, they still looked forward to joining the Chinese Empire, and they longed for an open academic environment, economy, politics, culture, a sound legal system and a good economy. (To be continued.) )
