Jin Shang should be glad that the county soldiers who came up this team were not sent by Cao Cao, but Zhang Miao's subordinates. If it was the team sent by Cao Cao, they would definitely kill Jin Shang without saying a word, and cut off the root of others' involvement in Yanzhou. Although Zhang Miao has a good relationship with Cao Cao, after all, he is not Cao Cao himself, so he can't be so vicious. His subordinates were very polite to Jin Shang, but they were very determined to let Jin Shang's car turn around and escort the group of guests from the Chang'an court out of Yanzhou all the way.

Jin Shang is not Dong Zhuo's cronies. If Dong Zhuo's cronies are in opposition to Dong Zhuo in the entire Kanto region, as soon as he is out of the scope of his subordinates, he is afraid that he will be killed by the powerful and princes who are greedy for merit. After he came out of Chang'an, he didn't want to return to the fearful place of martial arts [harmony] again.

At the beginning of the year, for some trivial things and old grievances, Dong Zhuo actually publicly beheaded the former lieutenant and the current guard captain Zhang Wen in the market. Such tyrannical behavior not only made Jin Shang even more disgusted with Dong Zhuo, but also made Jin Shang's fear of Dong Zhuo infinitely increased.

- God knows when Dong Zhuo will go crazy and purge the important ministers of the court again?

With such considerations, Jin Shangke was reluctant to return to Chang'an City. Moreover, now that the Kanto region is rising, the status of the governor of the prefecture and county is much more beautiful than that of the puppet-like ministers of the imperial court. Its situation is inexplicably reminiscent of the princes' struggle for hegemony in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

For the high position of Yanzhou's assassin history, he has always been ambitious [ambition? Jin Shang, who is vigorous, has no intention of giving up. The glory erected by the ancestor Jin Riyan will always be carried forward by every son of the Jin family. Even if his situation is very bad now, he is still persevering.

Yanzhou can't go, Chang'an can't go back, and Jin Shang has only one way to go.

Go to Nanyang and find Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu in the third year of Chuping [192]. In the eyes of the court officials and the corporals of the world, he is more powerful than Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao built a huge alliance in Suozao and gathered a large number of troops, but it did not cause any losses to Dong Zhuo. As soon as Yuan Shu made a move last year, the general Sun Jian sent by him successfully conquered Luoyang. If it weren't for Yuan Shao pulling his hind legs behind, Sun Jian at this time. Maybe they all hit Chang'an.

Since Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are at odds, and Yuan Shao's subordinate Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, Jin Shang wants to regain the position of Yanzhou's assassin history, and asking Yuan Shu to make a move is definitely the best choice.

Yuan Shu naturally welcomed Jin Shang's arrival. To tell the truth, even if Yuan Shu is in the limelight now, among the corporal in the world, there are really few people who really have a great reputation and appreciate Yuan Shu. Since Jin Shang is willing to come. It is to earn face for Yuan Shu. And Jin Shang's position as the assassin of Yanzhou also gave Yuan Shu a justified excuse for the attack on Yanzhou.

At this time, Sun Jian's arrows in the battle with Huang Zhong were not good, and Yuan Shu was not good at this time, so he sent Sun Jian into battle with injuries. In addition, he felt that his subordinate generals had experienced several major battles with Sun Jian, and they seemed to have some combat strength. So Yuan Shu actually decided to personally dispatch and mobilize the main army to attack Yanzhou. I plan to defeat Cao Cao in one fell swoop and occupy Yanzhou!

So, isn't Yuan Shu afraid that Liu Biao of Jingzhou will take the opportunity to send troops to attack his old nest Nanyang?

To be honest, Yuan Shu was really not very worried about this. Although Liu Biao was besieged by Yuan Shu's army, he successfully held Fancheng and Deng County. But the main force of the Jingzhou army also suffered considerable losses. Based on the comparison of the strength of Jingzhou and Yuan Shu, Liu Biao has more than enough self-preservation, but he is not enterprising enough. With Sun Jian staying near Nanyang to recuperate, even if Liu Biao dispatches the whole army, Sun Jian should be able to withstand it.

Besides. What kind of master is he Yuan Shu?

The concubine of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the most powerful prince of the world, has an extremely noble status and an invincible army. The powerful clans in the entire Nanyang and Yuzhou areas almost all sided with him Yuan Shu. If anyone dares to brush the tiger's whiskers, it will be against the princes of the world and the heroes of the entire Central Plains!

Since Yuan Shu decided to send troops, the momentum was naturally huge. According to the plan, he will mobilize 80,000 troops under his command and attack on three fronts. Among them, the eastern front took Suiyang as the stronghold, and Ji Ling was the main general, leading an army of 20,000 to attack Jiyin County; The western front took Yangcheng as the stronghold, and Sun Jian's troops as the main force, passing through the territory of Zhu Jun in Henan, flanking the junction of Chenliu and Dongjun. Yuan Shu personally commanded the main force of 50,000 people, walked Xu County, and advanced Chen Liu head-on along the border between Yingchuan and Chen State.

From a military point of view, Yuan Shu's dispatch of troops this time actually has many problems.

First of all, Yuan Shu's subordinates had just fought with Dong Zhuo, and they had not rested for a few days before they launched a strong attack on Liu Biao. By the time Liu Biao was finished, tens of thousands of soldiers were naturally exhausted. At this time, Yuan Shu did not let his tired subordinates rest for a period of time to regain their combat effectiveness, but directly pulled the army onto the battlefield to attack Yanzhou.

For this kind of behavior that is completely inconsiderate of the low-level soldiers, there is naturally a lot of discontent in the army. Even Sun Jian had persuaded his ally Yuan Shu for this, but with Sun Jian's achievements, Yuan Shu, who was becoming more and more arrogant, did not listen to it at all.

The reason why Sun Jian excused himself from recuperating from his injuries and pushed back the position of the main general of this dispatch was also because of Yuan Shu's excessive troops, and he really couldn't stand it. With Yuan Shujun's military morale at this time, even with Sun Jian in charge, he was not confident that he could win this battle.

In addition, Yanzhou, which is guarded by Cao Cao, is not a bone to gnaw on. Sun Jian had some dealings with Cao Cao during the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" that year, and he still had some understanding of Cao Cao's military capabilities. Moreover, with Cao Cao's ability not long ago to lead a group of county soldiers who were wary of each other, to defeat the Yellow Turban Army of Sanzhou, which far outnumbered his own, he was not an easy person.

Moreover, the three roads arranged by Yuan Shu, especially the East Road, are too far away from the main force. From the perspective of military science, this is an obvious division of troops, which can easily lead to the lone army going deeper, so that Cao Cao finds a flaw.

However, for this point, although Yuan Shu knew the danger, there was nothing he could do. Because, between Xu County in Yingchuan and Suiyang in Liang State, there is a Chen State. Although Chen Guo is not big, he is entrenched in a strong dragon that makes everyone in the world feel troublesome. That's it:

King Chen, Liu Pet.

There are more than a dozen kings of the Liu family in the world who have been sealed. But most of the kings of the Liu family can only obediently stay in their own palaces, accept the supervision of the prince, the prime minister, the lieutenant and other senior officials of the country, and be a rice worm that eats and waits for death. This is an old rule that has been handed down since the "Rebellion of the Seven Kings" that year.

However, only this Chen King Liu Chong, with his own strong force, actually broke the unspoken rule that the king of the Liu family is not allowed to act in the military and political affairs of the country. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Chong relied on the permission of the late emperor Liu Hong to recruit troops on his own, and used the wealth accumulated by the successive kings of Chen to personally recruit warriors in the country and form an elite archery army.

Later, although the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" was successfully quelled by the imperial court, as the center of the turmoil, the Yanzhou area of Yuzhou has always been turbulent, and there are often remnants of the Yellow Turban and displaced people who are in rebellion. On the grounds that these threats have not abated, although Chen Wang Liu Chong has streamlined his subordinate marksman army, his military strength has never decreased.

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Liu Chong took this opportunity to call himself the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty. The public stationing of 10,000 troops in Yangxia broke the taboo of the king of the Liu family not to openly lead troops. Luo Jun, a capable official of Chen Guoguo, also expressed practical support for King Chen's actions in this situation. With Luo Jun developing production in the rear and stabilizing the people's hearts, Liu Chong's logistics are safe, and his army can be called well-armoured, and no one dares to despise his combat effectiveness.

This Luo Jun is not very famous in history, and he is not mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". However, this man had a good son, and his reputation in history was even greater than his.

Luo Jun's son, called Luo Tong, was not born at this time. Those who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms should have some impression of this name. Although Luo Tong is not a first-class capable person in the Three Kingdoms, he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he should be ranked in the second echelon among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

And this Chen Wang's attitude towards the situation also made everyone puzzled. He neither expressed his direction towards the Yuan clan nor towards Dong Zhuo, but just stood near the battlefield where the two armies fought under the banner of "protecting the territory and securing the people". Such a posture, coupled with the archer army that is said to be equipped with thousands of strong crossbows, made both Dong Zhuo and Dong a little jealous.

Measured by his own thoughts, Yuan Shu was probably able to guess the thoughts of Chen Wang and Liu Chong. He probably wants to take advantage of this troubled time, support his own troops, and wait for a good opportunity. If the opportunity is right, the current Son of Heaven is deposed, and there is no one in the court to stand up, it is impossible to say that this King of Chen, Liu Pet, will jump out at that time and establish himself as the Son of Heaven. Judging from this article, Liu Pet can also be regarded as Yuan Shu's fellow traveler.

Of course, the current Yuan Shu, although he has different aspirations in his heart, has not dared to directly reveal such a rebellious mind.

For Liu Chong's wishful thinking, Yuan Shu of course scoffed. However, in view of Liu Chong's reputation for being a good war, as well as the wealth and richness of the Chen State, Yuan Shu did not dare to bring his prestige enough to appoint the Yuzhou Assassin Shi to the Chen State. Since you can't provoke Chen Guo, the East Route Army is a little farther away, and there is no way to do it.

Yuan Shu raised 80,000 troops, known as 200,000, and attacked Yanzhou on a large scale, which really shook the world for a while. However, just a few days after Yuan Shu's army was mobilized, a piece of news from Guanzhong made the sensation caused by Yuan Shu's troops suddenly become irrelevant. This news from Guanzhong is:

On the eighth day of November in the third year of Chuping [192], Dong Zhuo of Xiangguo was assassinated outside the gate of Chang'an Palace! (To be continued......)
