Within a month after that, Zang Ba went to Mount Tai in person, saying that the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army of Mount Tai Wu Dun, Sun Guan and Yin Lilai surrendered, and Langya was officially included in the territory of Xuzhou.
There are 70,000 or 80,000 people in the Taishan Yellow Turban Army, but there are more old and young women and children, and less than half of them really have combat effectiveness, Gao Ping selected 20,000 of them to enrich Liu Bei's army, and the rest or enrich the soldiers in various counties, or distribute the fields to various counties and counties in Xuzhou.
Xu Du, Cao Cao held the information from Xuzhou, frowned slightly and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, your strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf has worked. However, Lu Bu designed and defeated Liu Bei's military division Gao Ping, and Liu Bei collected Langya, Taishan and other places, and now his power has increased greatly, Wen Ruo's plan seems to have helped Liu Bei's forehead" Xun Yu bowed his head slightly ashamedly and pondered.
Guo Jia took the information from the side, looked at it slightly, was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled slightly: "The lord doesn't have to worry. Lu Bu was originally a brave man, although he was defeated, it was not a pity, but he didn't expect this Gao Ping to be so cunning, and he pacified Lu Bu almost effortlessly, but let Xuzhou not fall into internal friction, this person is really a fierce rival in life. However, this Wen Ruo's plan is not without gains, this time Liu Bei attacked Yuan Shu, so that the hatred between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu has been formed, Yuan Shu will definitely not tolerate Liu Bei to become big, so it is the situation of the two tigers competing for each other. Xun Yu saw Guo Jia relieve himself, and glanced at Guo Jia gratefully
"Oh?" Cao Cao turned to Wen Guojia, who was pale next to him, and said, "Feng Xiao thinks that tiger will win in the end?" Cao Cao didn't mean to blame Xun Yu deeply, so he diverted the topic.
Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Lord, if there is no external force to disturb me, I expect Yuan Shu to be defeated." Although on the surface, Yuan Shu's soldiers are strong and strong, claiming to have 200,000 armor, but his subordinates have no good plans, no fierce generals, like Ji Ling, Qiao Mao, Chen Lan, Lei Bo and others, how can they stop Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, plus Gao Ping's tricks, Liu Bei obeys his words, and Yuan Shu's defeat is only a matter of time."
Cao Cao groaned slightly, and after digesting Guo Jia's words, he said: "It seems that Liu Bei will be even stronger, and Liu Bei is also the dragon among the people, and now his subordinates are full-fledged, and they must not be made bigger, I intend to raise troops to fight for it, can I."
"No"
"Think Twice"
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Guo Jia and Xun Yu objected in unison.
Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, Xun Yu said loudly: "The lord has just pacified Yuzhou, and now the treasury is insufficient, and the soldiers are tired, so it is not appropriate to launch a large-scale war at this time, but as the lord said, Liu Bei's hero must not see it bigger, but the lord has forgotten that there is a trump card available in his hand."
"Mr. Wen Ruo means... Cao Cao said thoughtfully.
"Yes, it is Your Majesty today" Xun Yu said: "Now the lord brings the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the lord can write to the Son of Heaven, reseal Liu Bei, belittle Lu Bu, and make him suspicious of each other." And Yuan Shu recently got Sun Ce's jade seal of the country after often harboring the heart of usurpation, the lord can be the Son of Heaven edict to order Liu Bei to crusade against Yuan Shu, recapture the jade seal of the country, and then seal Ji Ling as Guangling Taishou, Yuan Shu has long coveted Xuzhou, so it is difficult for the two families not to fight, Liu Bei wins, the lord takes advantage of the situation to attack Shouchun, Yuan Shusheng, then the army enters Xuzhou, this is the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman.
"Haha, Wen Ruozhen is my son," Cao Cao laughed.
"Lord" Guo Jia said lightly: "Just one Yuan Shu is no longer enough to contend with Liu Bei, now the Yellow Turbans are rampant in Qingzhou, the Lord can order Lu Bu to be the Beihai Taishou, so that he can exterminate the Yellow Turbans, but Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan is the Qingzhou pastor, in charge of Qingzhou, so that the interests of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are bound to be intertwined, Lu Bu is a master who refuses to suffer, but the Lord sends a fine work from time to time to provoke, the two families will inevitably raise swords, one can let Yuan Shao help Yuan Shu to balance Liu Bei, and the other Lord may benefit from it and take charge of Qingzhou. β
"Oh," Cao Cao was interested, "if Liu Bei doesn't obey the edict, what can I do?" β
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Liu Bei boasts that he is a descendant of the Han family, full of ambition to support the Han family, and there is an edict to crusade against Yuan Shu this time, so I expect Liu Bei to be edicted." Lu Bu is also a tiger and wolf, and there is an attack on Xuzhou, and the newly surrendered person is alone to command the army, Liu Beiding is not at ease, so he can also separate the two. But if Lu Bu is determined to serve Liu Bei, he will try his best to try his best to Qingzhou, at this time, how can Yuan Shao sit back and watch Qingzhou be occupied by Liu Bei, and the two will have a fight, so that no matter who wins Qingzhou, the one who benefits is only the lord. When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "I have to be filial, and I can't worry about it." β
Not long ago, the imperial court edict went down to Xuzhou, named Liu Bei as Xuzhou Mu, General Zuo, Yicheng Pavilion Marquis, commanded the military and government of Xuzhou, and said that the jade seal of the country was in Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu refused to hand it over to the imperial court, and he had a heart of disobedience, so he ordered Liu Bei, the general of the left, to raise troops to levy, crusade against Yuan Shu, and be sure to recapture the jade seal of the country.
At the same time, Yuan Shu also received the will of the imperial court, but he sealed his subordinate Ji Ling as the Guangling Taishou, and ordered him to hand over the jade seal of the country to the imperial court, Yuan Shu was furious on the spot, a Taishou asked me to hand over the jade seal, Cao Cao, did you not wake up, you have to blast out the envoy on the spot, Yan Xiang persuaded bitterly, and at the same time Jin Shang said to Yuan Shu that this is a justifiable attack on Xuzhou, Yuan Shu reluctantly accepted the order, but let the envoy go back to pass the word that he did not have the jade seal in his hand, it was just Sun Ce's rumors.
Xuzhou, after Liu was named General Zuo, Xuzhou was thunderous, and his own boss was promoted, so the younger brothers below will definitely drink some soup.
Now with the surrender of the Lu Bu army, the total strength of Xuzhou at this time has reached a terrible more than 100,000 people. Among them, there are 30,000 elite Danyang soldiers, 20,000 troops surrendered by Lu Bu Zangba, 20,000 elite troops surrendered to Taishan Yellow Turban, and 6,000 people from the Feilong Battalion polished from Xiaopei, in addition, Zhang Fei's iron cavalry battalion has been expanded to 5,000 people, and Gao Shun's "trapped camp" has expanded to 3,000 people. Coupled with the militaristic soldiers of 35,000 people in each county, Xuzhou's military strength is not what it used to be, and Gao Ping used Liu Bei's relationship with big businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, plus the power of the Mijia Chamber of Commerce smuggled a large number of war horses from outside the Saiwai, Xiliang and other places, but the number was limited.
Now that there are more soldiers, the generals are wider, and Liu Bei has also been promoted, after discussing with Gao Ping, Liu Bei decided to re-reward the subordinate military and carry out a unified reorganization of the soldiers.
