~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In October of the first year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu wanted to unite with Lu Bu and make it his own use, so he proposed to Lu Bu that his son marry Lu Bu's daughter, and Lu Bu agreed. Yuan Shu sent Han Yin as an envoy to formally convey to Lü Bu his intention to change the era name and ascend the throne as emperor, and at the same time asked to take Lü Bu's daughter and his son to consummate the marriage.

However, this matter was sabotaged by Pei Xiang Chen Jue. Chen Jue's father and son were inclined to Ma Han and Liu Bei, and they were deeply dissatisfied with Lu Bu's reliance on Cao Bao and Cao Hong's brothers after he became the ruler of Xuzhou, so he said to Lu Bu: "Ma Jun welcomes the Son of Heaven, assists in praising the national government, and Wei Ling lives in the world, and will conquer the four seas. If you marry Shu today, in the name of the world's injustice, you will be in danger of accumulating eggs. ”

Lu Bu suddenly woke up, and immediately sent someone to catch up with the family greeting team, not only to recover his daughter, but also to send Han Yin's flail to Luoyang and hand it over to the imperial court. Regarding Chen Qi's proposal that his son Chen Deng should represent Lü Bu and agree on an alliance with the hussar general Ma Han, Lü Bu originally agreed, but due to Chen Gong's opposition, he had to suspend this proposal.

Lu Bu's capricious and desperate behavior would make him even a clay man run away, not to mention Yuan Shu, who felt so good that he wanted to ascend the throne as emperor, how could he tolerate such humiliation?

At the end of November, Yuan Shu, who broke out into a thunderous rage, ignored the approaching cold winter, sent an envoy to Xiapi to condemn Lü Bu, and at the same time requisitioned a large army to prepare to raise troops to attack Lü Bu.

At that time, Tao's Villa, located in Danyang, Yangzhou, was within Yuan Shu's forces and had long been targeted by Yuan Shu. Take this opportunity to put pressure on the Tao clan to send troops to fight together. The Tao family is second to none in Danyang, but since Tao Qian's death, the momentum has dropped sharply, and Yuan Shu has taken advantage of the situation to suppress and reduce his strength, which is also the proper meaning.

The lost Tao couldn't withstand the pressure, so he sent 3,000 Danyang soldiers to help. It's kind of coped with this errand. There were 5,000 Danyang soldiers in Tao's Beizhuang, but these Danyang soldiers were also divided into two categories, one was the brave and combative Shanyue people, and the other was the Lou boat soldiers who were good at boat and water warfare. Among the 5,000 Danyang soldiers in Tao's Bizhuang, there are 1,000 Shanyue people, 1,000 men, and 3,000 are Lou boat soldiers.

The Tao clan people who were under pressure thought twice. In the end, it was decided to hand over the 3,000-floor boatman. The reason is very simple, loyal and brave Shanyue people are rare, and the doorman is the elite of Tao, only Lou Chuanshi. In this part of Danyang, it is easier to recruit and train, so there are losses and easy to replenish.

And Yuan Shu after receiving the three thousand floor boatmen. Hand it over to the general Ji Ling. Ji Ling took it as another department, and directly used 3,000 sailors as infantry, and let this army of building boats and soldiers be the vanguard.

Lu Bu's bravery. Everyone knows that the strength of the state army is famous all over the world. Take a naval army to collide with the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, and the result will be unknown.

When the news reached the ears of the Tao brothers in Luoyang, the brothers were shocked. These 5,000 Danyang soldiers are the guarantee of their lives and the rank of promotion, if most of them are buried at once, teach them how to explain to Ma Han? So the Tao brothers went their separate ways, Tao Ying rushed back to Danyang in the starry night to see if there was a chance to recover, while the Tao merchant went to Donglai, waiting for Ma Han's return, and reported the details as soon as possible.

After listening to the pottery merchant's report, Ma Han was more interested in the news that Yuan Shu intended to be the emperor, and Yuan Shu was called the emperor, which was the beginning of his defeat. It seems that the south of the Yangtze River is about to be reshuffled.

What was the outcome of the war between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu? Who wins and who loses? What impact will it have on Yan, Xu, Yang, and Yu prefectures? Ma Han frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest impression that his understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms was not up to Cheng Dù, who was exhaustive.

However, regardless of the outcome, it is never allowed to use one's own soldiers as cannon fodder. In the world chess game of Ma Han, this strange soldier, as an important chess piece, has been well planned, and once the loss is too huge, it will cause the overall passivity. If one son makes a mistake, it is possible to lose all the games, not to mention that one son is eaten......

Seeing Ma Han frowning, the potter said: "General don't worry, these are just Lou Chuanshi, the real Danyang elite is still there." Even if these 3,000 water pawns are cleaned, it will only take three or five years to re-recruit and train a batch of new soldiers......"

"Ben won't be able to wait that long, and as you said, it's a new pawn." Ma Han took a deep breath, looked at the south, and gradually revealed, "Since the troop transfer fish talisman is in my hand, these building boat soldiers are my soldiers." It's not thirty, it's not three hundred, it's three thousand! I will not watch my three thousand soldiers die and do nothing! ”

Tai Shi Ci bowed and clenched his fists, his face was solemn: "The lord has a need, and he is willing to be the forerunner." ”

Le Jin, Guan Hai, and Chen Zhi bowed together: "The lord has a need, and we are willing to be the forerunner." ”

"We won't go back to Luoyang for the New Year." Ma Hun Da Ma Jindao also sat on the self-made general's chair, "Let's go, go to Xuzhou to pay New Year's greetings to Lu Fengxian and Yuan Highway." ”

……

Ma Han said that he would pay New Year's greetings to the two princes who were ready to fight, but by the time his fleet sailed into the East China Sea, the year had already passed—yes, the spring of the second year of Jian'an was coming.

Ma Han went south this time, and there were three fierce generals under his command: Lejin, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai. In terms of troops, it is even more sufficient, in addition to the five hundred general guards, there is also a battalion of eight hundred fierce barbarians composed of pure soldiers. In addition, Guan Hai's 1,000 Bohai Navy can be called a battle on land and a run on water, this combat effectiveness, I am afraid that Lu Buji Xuzhou may not be able to do anything if he gathers troops in Xuzhou.

Ma Han's second trip to Xuzhou is not the same as the previous one.

When the ship arrived in Qu County, the Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers, who had received the news in advance, had already greeted them.

However, in order to prevent leakage of news, Ma Han did not go ashore to stay in Mifu, but moored the ship on Yuzhou Mountain Island in the open sea, so that the Mi brothers would never see each other lightly.

When Ma Han and the Mi brothers met two years ago, the two sides still saluted peacefully, and this meeting, even if they were not driving in Xuzhou, they could only salute in the face of the Han hussar general.

In the finch room of the building boat, the Mi brothers looked solemn and bowed to the horses who were sitting upright. Ma Han didn't help, not even a gesture of false support, but only returned the salute after the Mi brothers finished saluting.

This etiquette represents the official recognition of the Mi brothers, and the ceremony cannot be abolished.

Previously, Ma Han had sent a light boat and a fast boat to arrive in Xu first, inform the Mi brothers of their intentions, and let the Mi brothers do a good job of intelligence collection. Due to the sensitivity of Ma Han's identity, this trip is mainly a covert operation, and his identity cannot be revealed unless it is absolutely necessary, so intelligence is the guide to action, which can be described as the top priority.

As the Mi brothers, it is effortless to get Lu Bu's information, even if it is the intelligence of Yuan Shu's army, it is also a matter of seven or seven eighty-eight - businessmen are born to engage in intelligence, and officials and businessmen have no intelligence that they can't get.

Mi Zhu first reported on the comparison of the forces of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.

Lü Bu used half of his eight generals (seven generals to be exact, of which Hao Meng was killed due to rebellion): Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu (i.e., Wei Yue), plus Cao Bao, while Chen Gong led Song Xian to garrison Pengcheng in preparation for Cao Cao, and Zhang Liao and Hou Cheng sat in Xiapi.

"There are 1,000 cavalry, more than 900 horses, 5,788 foot soldiers, excellent fighting equipment, and about 3,000 other troops of the Cao brothers and Chen's father and son, with a total of 10,000 people. However, the other troops and horses of the Cao and Chen families were not under the command of Bu, so he could really command less than 7,000 men. Among them, more than 1,000 people in Pengcheng couldn't move, and more than 1,000 people in Xiapi couldn't move. In the end, Lu Bu was able to gather only 400 cavalry and 3,000 infantry soldiers. ”

Mi Zhu did not read any written materials at all, and was very fluent in reporting various numbers, which fully reflected the businessman's sensitivity to numbers. After talking about Lu Bu's situation, followed by Yuan Shu.

"This time, 30,000 troops were gathered, with the generals Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Ji Ling, Wu Jing, Yuan Yin, Chen Lan, and Lei Bo as the main generals, each leading thousands of soldiers and horses, and attacking Xiapi in seven ways. It can be said that the army is pressing, menacing, up and down Xuzhou, and the people are panicked......"

Ma Han listened and calculated, 30,000 people, seven soldiers and horses, each way is less than 3,000, more than 5,000, any way is worth all the troops of Lu Bu...... Seven to one, such an advantage, even sieges can be fought, let alone field battles.

Mi Fang shuddered, and her face showed fear: "For Lu Bu, this battle is even more dangerous than the battle for Yanzhou with Cao Cao!" In my opinion, this Xuzhou will soon be surnamed Yuan......"

Ma Han smiled, he didn't see it that way, he paid attention to the troops, but he paid more attention to the combat power. Although Lu Bu's army is small, he has been fighting with Cao's army for the past two years, and both sides are getting stronger and stronger the more they fight. Although Lü Bu was defeated in the end, it was a mistake in decision-making, not a crime of war. And what about Yuan Shu's army?

In Ma Han's impression, Yuan Shu's Yangzhou army has never been on the stage in the armies of the princes of the Three Kingdoms, and there is almost no famous general, and the only one who can be called a fierce general is only Ji Ling. It won't work, the soldiers can't do it, what's the use of having more people? Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses are also seven times that of Tai Shici, what is the result?

In addition, what is even more incomprehensible to Ma Han is - why do you want to have a seven-way combo?

This tactic of dividing troops and attacking together is best in the vast plains, and there must be enough cavalry to achieve the effect of encircling on all sides and covering the earth. However, this is Huainan, where the rivers are crisscrossed, the mountains are many and the roads are dangerous, and among Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, the cavalry is less than one...... I really don't know which brain came up with the bad idea, and what is even more speechless is that Yuan Shu also adopted it.

If it is replaced by a horse and a strong man, he directly clenches the army into a fist and beats it hard, will you Lu Bu take it? If you don't pick it up, I'll take it down and take your nest; Pick it up, and the blow is enough to make you vomit blood.

I don't use a good fist, but I spread my fingers...... Be careful, Lu Bu will cut off your fingers.

Mi Zhu saw Ma Han sneering on his face, thinking that he also believed that Lu Bu couldn't survive this hurdle, so he reported the last situation: "But this time Lu Bu has found a good helper, if it is used properly, there may still be a trace of vitality." ”

Ma Han was interested: "Oh, which one?" ”

"Not one, it's three." Mi Zhu stretched out three fingers and pointed to the south, "It's the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang who are trapped in Haixi." (To be continued......)
