Liu He's move to expand the armament war in Youzhou was very large, and he could not hide it at all, and there was no need to hide it. As Liu Yu's hussar general, even if he has a million soldiers and horses under his command, it is not a trespassing, and after Youzhou's expansion this time, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses in total, so it is completely reasonable.

When the news of the formation of the Fifth Route Army in Youzhou reached Jizhou, Lu Zhi immediately followed suit and named the soldiers and horses defending Gaoyi as the Zhenwei Battalion, with Tai Shici as the commander of the battalion, with about 20,000 soldiers and horses; The soldiers and horses led by Xian Yufu who defended the Bohai Sea were named Zhenwu Battalion, and Xian Yufu was still the main general, with about 15,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

Because Taifu Liu Yu concurrently served as the general of the hussars and replaced the central court in charge of the affairs of the states north of the Yellow River, Lu Zhi wrote to Liu Yu, asking the general's office to crown Tai Shici as the general of Sipin Zhenwei, Xian Yufu as the general of Sipin Zhenwu, and Jizhou Beijia as the general of Xuanwei.

The Hussar General's Mansion is just an empty shelf, Liu Yu is usually only a name, he still exercises the power of the Taifu more often, and the specific military is in charge of the eldest son Liu He. Lu Zhi's formation of the two armies in Jizhou naturally had Liu He's tacit approval, and as for the sealing of Tai Shici and Xian Yufu, there would be no resistance or problems.

Soon, Jizhou received many official documents of appointment from Jicheng, among which Jizhou Mu Lu Zhi was crowned as an auxiliary general of the third grade, and the promotion and sealing of the rest of the people were all approved in accordance with Lu Zhi's previous instructions.

Although Lu Zhi did not ask for an official for himself, if he did not add a title of general of a considerable level in his identity, it would inevitably make people feel that Liu He deliberately set aside Jizhou and Lu Zhi.

The Hussar General's Mansion for the appointment and promotion of Jizhou, naturally could not hide from Yuan Shao, who was always paying attention to the situation in the north, in order to deal with Liu He's next moves, the Yecheng Che Cavalry General's Mansion was full of civil and military personnel, and there were different opinions, so it was not lively.

Yuan Shao's title of general of the chariot cavalry was still a title added by himself when he served as the leader of the Dong League in the first year of Chuping. Previously, He Jin's younger brother He Miao had held the position of general of the chariot cavalry. Later, He Miao was attacked and killed by He Jin's generals Wu Kuang and Dong Zhuo's brother Dong Min, and his body was abandoned in the garden. According to the regulations of the military attache of the Han Dynasty, the general of the chariot cavalry is second only to the general and the general of the hussar, with a golden seal and a purple ribbon, and the status is equivalent to that of Shangqing, or than the three dukes, mainly in charge of the Beijing division and palace guards, and is the second rank among the military generals.

Although the battle against Dong led by Yuan Shao was just a trick, it earned him enough fame, and the title of the general was not granted to others by the imperial court. So he continued to wear it on his head with confidence.

There are official positions at all levels similar to the Jicheng Hussar General's Mansion in the Yecheng Che Cavalry General's Mansion, among which Yuan Shao's chief strategist Tian Feng occupies a position in the long history because of his fame and seniority, and the hardcore follower Feng Ji serves as Sima, and the strategist Xu You serves as Sima of other departments, with the same rank as Tian Feng and Feng Ji. Later, Guo Tu and Xin Ping, who switched to Yuan Shao from before Han Fu's account, were recruited by Yuan Shao as Zhonglang left and right, and their status was slightly lower than that of Tian Feng, Feng Ji and Xu You.

The five people listed above are the core strategists and think tanks that Yuan Shao relied on, if they follow the original trajectory of history. Yuan Shao's tent should also have strategists such as Fu Zhu, Xian Pei, Xun Chen, Xin Bi, Tian Yu and so on, but because of Liu He's intervention, among these people, Fu Zhu is currently staying in front of Lu Zhi's tent to listen to it, and the trial is staying in Luoyang to defend the city with Li Yan. After Xun Chen returned to his hometown in Yingchuan, there was no news, Xin Bi is now working in the Taifu Mansion of Jicheng, and Tian Yu is staying by Liu Bei's side to do nothing.

Yuan Shaoche rode the general's mansion and there was also a thief Cao, who was now Dong Zhao, a Dingtao person; The Governor of the Door. He is now a native of Hanoi, Zhu Han; Gong Cao is one person, now Yuan Shao's brother-in-law Li Fu; One person is the main bookkeeper, and now the talented Chen Lin is in charge; The Lord remembered one person. Now he is the Qinghe celebrity Cui Yan.

The five people listed above are the "five officials" in the Che Cai General's Mansion, and they belong to the scribes who directly assist Yuan Shao in handling daily affairs.

Yuan Shao was angry at the 100,000 troops expanded in Youzhou, and he was even more worried that Liu Yu's ruthless son Liu He would concentrate his troops and horses to go south to Jizhou and join forces under Lu Zhi to attack Yecheng, so after learning of the big moves in Jicheng and Gaoyi, he was not to be outdone, and hurriedly implemented another round of military expansion plans in Jizhou and Bingzhou.

Yuan Shao adopted Tian Feng's suggestion and divided his troops into three routes, each of which set up a commander to supervise the army. Among them: the governor of the East Road is served by Yuan Shao's hardcore brother Chun Yuqiong, and the superintendent is Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan; The governor of the North Road was served by Yuan Shao's other hardcore follower, Xiao Ji, and the superintendent was Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Rou; The governor of the West Road was Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan, and the superintendent was Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi.

Chun Yuqiong, the governor of the East Road, served as the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, and later followed Yuan Shao to leave Luoyang and go to Bohai, and belonged to Yuan Shao's most trusted general, so Yuan Shao asked him to lead the 60,000 troops of Jizhou to guard his side. There are two generals on the left and right in front of Chun Yuqiong's account, namely Liyi and Gao Lan, and several deputy generals, namely Lu Weihuang, Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Zhao Rui, Cen Bi, Peng An, etc.

When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he and Xu Yu followed Yuan Shao to flee to the Bohai Sea, so he won Yuan Shao's appreciation and reuse, and this time he was entrusted with a heavy task, and he led an army of 50,000 to guard the northern part of the state to guard against the attack of the Hu people in the direction of Youzhou and the north. There are also two generals on the left and right in front of the Ji account, namely Yan Liang and Zhang Xu, and several deputy generals, namely Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, Zhang Kai, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, etc.

Gao Gan, the governor of Xilu, is Yuan Shao's nephew, he has always been deeply liked by Yuan Shao, and he is almost treated as half a son, so he was awarded such a high position by Yuan Shao, leading an army of 40,000 to defend Jinyang, and defend Zhang Yang and Duan Xuan in the south of the state and the Qiang people in Hexi west of Xihe County to make a rebellion. In front of Gao Gan's tent, there are also two generals on the left and right, namely Han Meng and Wen Chou, and several deputy generals, namely Han Rong, Han Qiong, Xia Zhao, Deng Sheng, Gao Huai, Meng Dai, etc.

In addition to the above-mentioned ten scribes and twenty-nine generals who already had clear positions, Yuan Shao also had Chang Lin, Geng Bao, Hua Yan, Kong Shun, Yin Kui, Zhang Jin, Zhang Jue, Hu Zhao, Linghu Shao, Han Fan and other scribes, as well as Zhu Ling, Zhou Ang, Han Xun, Gao Xiang, Jiao He, He Mao, Wang Mo, Yin Kai, Han Fan, Liang Qi, Tao Sheng, Yan Chang, Feng Li, Guo Yuan and other military generals.

If you only compare it in terms of quantity, there is still a big gap between Liu Yu and his son and Yuan Shao in terms of talent recruitment and reserves. However, this is not how the account is calculated. Liu He has always taken the route of elite soldiers and strong generals, although the number of strategists and generals under his command is only half of Yuan Shao's, but it is better than Yuan Shao in terms of overall quality.

There is one top strategist Tian Feng in Yuan Shao's camp, while Liu He has Guo Jia and Li Ru. Although Jizhou Lu Zhi and Fu Zhu did not nominally belong to Liu He, they stood in the same camp as Liu He, and the strategy of these two people was not much worse than Tian Feng. Yuan Shao has four first-class strategists Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu and Xin Ping, while Liu He has Li Yan, Tian Chou, Liu Hui, Juan Pei and others, and his level is not lost to Xu You and others. Yuan Shao has capable officials Dong Zhao, Chen Lin and Cui Yan and others, Liu He has more capable Liu Fang, Xu Miao, Han Heng, Liu Zheng and others, and Jia Kui, Du Ji, Zheng Hun, Xin Bi and others After training, their ability level will not be much inferior.

There are many generals in Yuan Shao's camp, and the number one is the generals Chun Yuqiong, Liyi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Gao Gan and others, while in front of Liu He's tent, there are Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Xu Rong, Tai Shici, Xu Huang and others. There are also loyal Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Xiahou Lan, Sun Li and Murong Ping......

After Yuan Shao went through a lot of reckless tossing, the total strength of his command has reached 150,000, which is basically the same as the actual strength of Liu He's mastery, but whether it is compared with the overall level of the generals or the training level and equipment level of the troops, Youzhou occupies an absolute advantage.

Of course, this kind of comparison is only in Liu He's heart, and many people in the outside world are so difficult to see so thoroughly. If Liu He didn't have the memory of later generations, how could he know that Guo Jia was the most powerful strategist in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, and how could he know that Li Ru was actually very useful. How could they know that generals such as Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang He, and Xu Huang were the top super-first-class generals in the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu?

When Yuan Shao was busy rearming troops to prevent Liu He in the southern part of Jizhou and Bingzhou, Cao Cao, who was only across the river from him, was not idle, and Cao Heizi's pace was even greater than that of his big brother Yuan Shao.

Although Cao Cao secretly joined the camp of Liu Yu's father and son, he had not completely torn his face with Liu He on the surface. The two sides have never really fought, at most, Chen Gui and Deng Hai's team pretending to be Liu He entered the Yanzhou border and made a trick to tease Lao Cao.

As one of the most powerful heroes in the world, Cao Cao's vision and strategy are naturally higher than Yuan Shao. Although he now had complete control of Yanzhou, he keenly saw that Yuan Shao would lose to Liu He sooner or later in the future, so he did not wait for Yuan Shao to switch to strategic defense. began to plan and deploy to prevent Liu He from going south again.

The north of Yanzhou is Jizhou, the northeast is Qingzhou, the east is Xuzhou, the south is Yuzhou, and the west is the Luoyang area of Sili.

After repeated discussions, Cao Cao's four major strategists, Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Xi Zhicai, unanimously suggested that Cao Cao seize Xuzhou to the east, and then march into Qingzhou, and control Yuzhou to the south, and then force Yuan Shu to make full use of the time when Yuan Shao and Liu He confronted each other north of the Yellow River to rapidly expand and strengthen themselves, so that no matter which side of Liu He or Yuan Shao finally dominates Hebei, when the time comes, Cao Cao will also have enough troops and chassis to confront him across the river to fight for the Central Plains.

In the original history, Yuan Shao controlled Jizhou in a few years, defeated Gongsun Zhan, and then seized Bingzhou, occupying most of Qingzhou, and during this period, Cao Cao was first taken Yanzhou by Lu Bu and Chen Gong, and then fought with Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu for many years in order to fight for Xuzhou, so when the Battle of Guandu broke out, Yuan Shao organized an army of more than 100,000 people to cross the Yellow River south, and Cao Cao was only able to send 20,000 troops to rely on the Yellow River to defend.

Because of Liu He's strong rise, Cao Cao's situation is much better than that recorded in history, and he doesn't have to worry about Yuan Shao stabbing himself in the back, because the common enemy facing the two families now is Liu He in Youzhou. Cao Cao didn't have to worry about Yanzhou being secretly seized by Lu Bu and Chen Gong, because Lu Bu was still in Chang'an, and there was still a Luoyang actually controlled by Liu He between Chang'an and Yanzhou!

Cao Cao did not have these two threats, and he finally set his sights on Xuzhou, which was controlled by Tao Qian, Yuzhou, where the Yellow Turbans were raging, and Tiankai, Qingzhou, who had been reduced to a lost dog.

Of course, Cao Cao is not the only one who is aiming at Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu, who has been recuperating in Yangzhou for several years, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In addition to Yuan Shu's fall in love with Tao Qian's territory, he also wanted the territory in Yuzhou, and he also wanted Jingzhou controlled by Liu Biao.

Yuan Shu is ambitious, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou is not a vegetarian, he now has complete control of the entire territory of Jingzhou, except for the time being, he has no idea about Yizhou to the west of Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, which are located east of Jingzhou, are in his sight.

Warlords in troubled times, if they want to settle down, how can they sit still and wait for death? (To be continued......)
