In Jixian County, Youzhou, four legions arrived on the battlefield one after another, forming three camps. Liu Bei chose to stand in the same camp as Yuan Shao, located in the south of the battlefield, Huma in the northwest, and Mingguan in the northeast.

More than 800,000 professional soldiers, the elite army of the princes of the three states of Hebei chose to fight in Jixian County, whichever side obtains Youzhou, it is possible to become the largest prince in Hebei, with the qualification to cross the Yellow River and chase the Central Plains!

"If you lose this time, it will be difficult to have another chance to enter the customs."

Ming Guan came to the front of the battle under the leadership of a group of fierce generals and observed the rest of the legions.

A large number of cavalry such as Li Jiajun, Guanning Iron Cavalry, Murong Xianbei Longcheng Iron Cavalry, and low-level Liaodong cavalry entered the pass, and the Tianxiong Army, the Qin Army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong heavy infantry and other infantry, and crossbowmen were displayed. A large number of Wuhuan tribes and Xianbei tribes were co-opted by Yao Guangxiao and Fan Wencheng to participate in the battle for Youzhou.

"The lord handed over 100,000 cavalry to me, and he can destroy the enemy army!"

Chang Yuchun encountered a strong enemy, and he was even more courageous, so he asked Mingguan for 100,000 cavalry to go to break Huma and Yuan Shao.

"General Chang doesn't need to worry, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao join forces, we can join forces with Hu Ma and take the lead in destroying Liu Bei and Yuan Shao."

Mingguan looked to the south, and all the main forces of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao in the south belonged to the local princes with the support of strangers. And he and Huma belong to a complete Inhuman force.

400,000 each in the north and south, and they will be in Jixian County.

The Yanqi Guild that supported Mingguan sent a steady stream of information from all sides to the Mingguan camp, and at the same time, the fierce general Murong Ba used the cavalry battalion in Mingguan to recruit Longcheng Iron Cavalry, which was proud of the south.

Hu Ma was stationed in the northwest of Jixian County, with Lian Po, Zhao Hao, Zhao Kuo, Zhou Dewei generals, and the Zhou Wolf Cavalry, Tielin Army, and Zhao Bian Cavalry stationed and patrolling around the camp, and there were countless low-level troops.

There can only be one overlord in Hebei, and these great princes will definitely fight to the death.

Whoever can win the battle in Youzhou can basically declare hegemony in Hebei!

"Mingguan takes most of Youzhou, I take Jizhou, this battle will definitely be my victory."

Huma was accompanied by Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States. Although Lian Po was at the bottom of the four famous generals of the Warring States, he was still a rare commander, and he made great achievements for Huma's control and state.

In the sky above the battlefield in Youzhou, the birds were silent and slaughtered.

The vanguards of all sides have already fought each other, and hundreds of people have been killed in battle, regardless of victory or defeat.

The existence of the vanguard is only to test each other, and the real big war depends on the main forces of both sides. In order to prepare for the Youzhou War, all parties sent scouts to infiltrate each other and explore each other's strength.

Zhou Dewei rode a war horse, followed Huma's side, and said to Huma: "The main force of our army is gathered in Youzhou, and I am afraid that the annexation is prone to variables. ”

"I use Li Muzhi's deputy general Sima Shang to guard Jingcheng County, in order to seek to guard Guo Chongtao in Huguan, and Lin Xiangru to guard Taiyuan, so there is no need to worry."

When Huma was fighting for Youzhou, he was ready to defend his home.

Yuan Shao proclaimed himself a general in the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, and at the same time led the Jizhou pastor, at this time he had great ambitions and had the ambition to sweep Liuhe and unify the world.

Although Tian Feng and Fu Zhu did not advocate that Yuan Shao go north so quickly to compete for hegemony with the princes of Bingzhou and Liaodong, who had a large number of elite cavalry, since Yuan Shao decided to go north to compete for power, he could only try his best to assist Yuan Shao and win.

In fact, if the opponent is Gongsun Zhan, who is easy to scheming, he may be able to use the Jizhou strong crossbow to shoot him back, but now Yuan Shao's opponents are the surviving inhuman princes, and each prince has more or less a think tank, such as Mingguan's think tank, Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, I am afraid that the calculation ability is still above Tian Feng and Fu Zhi.

"In this battle, there are a large number of heavy cavalry in Bingzhou and Liaodong, and our chances of victory are only thirty percent."

"In Youzhou, our army is mainly based on foot, how to defeat the enemy?"

After Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were almost clear about the information on both sides, they came to the conclusion that the chance of winning was only 30%.

Yuan Shao's army was dominated by infantry and Jizhou crossbowmen. The Jizhou crossbow was tied with the Youzhou assault cavalry, but both Mingguan and Huma had a lot of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry.

The Liaodong iron ore in Mingguan allowed Mingguan to equip a large number of heavily armored troops, and the coal and iron ore produced in Huma's state could also be used to create armor and horse armor for heavy cavalry.

Even if it is the same zhajia, the quality and type of zha are different.

"Two gentlemen."

Zhao Long put on armor and hung his sword, and came to see Tian Feng and Fu Zhi.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were already very familiar with Yuan Shao's number one general, Zhao Long, and this time it was Zhao Long who instigated Yuan Shao to march into Youzhou and participate in the battle for Youzhou.

"Huma and Mingguan are menacing, with 400,000 foot riders, and there are many auspicious battles. Liu Xuande may not be able to go all out to participate in the war, why did you encourage the lord to come to the war? ”

Tian Feng was deeply disturbed that Zhao Long stood with Guo Tu, the trial and other main battle factions.

He always thought that Zhao Long and he were good friends and would stand with him, advocating to recuperate and recuperate, and wait for Huma and Mingguan to lose both sides, and then take Youzhou.

Frustration also has a lot of criticism: "If we peek at Youzhou in northern Hebei, Huma and Mingguan will definitely fight each other in order to seize Youzhou, and we can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, why do you advocate marching?" If you don't give us a good explanation today, we'll break it off. ”

"Don't doubt it, gentlemen. The gentleman only knows the things inside the gate, but he does not know the things outside the gate, so the judgment of the two gentlemen may be biased, and it is not the fault of the two gentlemen. ”

Zhao Long's words surprised Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, and Zhao Long's implication was that Tian Feng and Fu Zhu's strategies were deviated: "Could it be that you have a winning strategy?" ”

Zhao Long couldn't deny it, and told Tian Feng and Fu Zhu his plan, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were surprised.

"If it's really the same as you said, this victory is much higher, and the lord can dominate Hebei."

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu were finally not so worried.

However, Zhao Long had a worried face: "But if I make meritorious contributions to the Lord's government, I'm afraid that my achievements will be high and the Lord will be jealous." In case that one day, I will ask the two gentlemen to intercede for me. ”

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu glanced at each other and fell into a dilemma. Yuan Shao can rise without the support of Zhao Long and Zhao Long's Inhuman Guild. The greater Zhao Long's contributions, the more Yuan Shao will be wary of him. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu didn't know how to answer Zhao Long for a while.

The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. Sometimes the birds are not finished, and they hide their bows.

Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, and the methods he used were also immoral. If Zhao Long made war exploits for him, but was harmed by Yuan Shao, it would be too chilling.

In the end, Tian Feng said: "We have been friends for a long time, if the lord wants to harm you, we will definitely defend you." ”

Fu Zhu also said: "Exactly. The world is undecided, and it is not harmful to the truth of loyal ministers. Even if the world is calm, there is no reason to eradicate the heroes. ”

"The two gentlemen have said this, then I will assist the lord with peace of mind and win a big victory in the battle of Youzhou."

Zhao Long said this on the surface, but he didn't trust Yuan Shao much in his heart. In history, Yuan Shao's capture of Jizhou was not very benevolent, and Han Fu didn't know how he really died, as well as Ju Yi, who took refuge in Yuan Shao, had his own subordinates, and helped Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Zhan, wasn't he summoned and killed by Yuan Shao?

Now, even if Zhao Long wins for Yuan Shao, it is mostly similar to Ju Yi's fate.

Zhao Long relied on the scouts set up in Yuan Shao's forces to receive the news in advance.

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu didn't think that Yuan Shao would do this.

"Three adults, the lord has a trick!"

Zhao Long, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhi went to Yuan Shao's army to discuss with Yuan Shao how to break the enemy.

Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Xi and others to Yuan Shao's tent and formed an alliance with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were originally mortal enemies, but at this time, for the sake of interests, they joined forces with each other.

Liu Bei, Chen Xi and the others looked at Zhao Long, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu who came in, their eyes flickering. Liu Bei and Chen Xi knew that Zhao Long, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhu saw Liu Bei's strategy of using Yuan Shao's forces to meet Huma and Mingguan.

Liu Bei originally faced the attack of three forces, but now he used Yuan Shao to turn it into a decisive battle between two forces and two forces. Liu Bei's approach was somewhat similar to uniting Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao.

Zhao Long also looked at Liu Bei and them, knowing that Liu Bei would not be willing to be subordinate. In this cooperation, Liu Bei has not really surrendered, and the two sides are more of a cooperative relationship.

Yuan Shao sits on the main seat, and he has a somewhat heroic style. Yuan Shao was able to unify Hebei in history, with Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, and commanded the army to go south to Guandu, which was not completely mediocre. At least Yuan Shao's methods are much more sophisticated than Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao said: "The decisive battle in Youzhou, with our department as the central army, ambush the strong crossbowmen, Liu Xuande attacked his left flank, and Zhao Zilong attacked his right flank, what do you mean?" ”

Many generals, including Liu Bei's generals, looked around for everyone.

Yuan Shao's army was dominated by infantry, while Liu Bei and Zhao Long had a lot of cavalry, which seemed acceptable as two wings.

Zhao Long said: "Our army should camp and hold on, waiting for Mingguan and Huma to attack." ”

"Why be afraid, you can win!"

In Liu Bei's camp, Guan Yu advocated the battle and the two routes of soldiers and horses in Liaodong and Liaodong.

Chen Xi, the Inhuman Military Master, stared at Zhao Long, trying to guess what he was planning from Zhao Long's expression.

The northern and southern princes each had 400,000 troops and hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, and as a result, Zhao Long's suggestion was to defend?

Liu Bei is not a mortal, he has a lot of generals in his hands, seeing that Zhao Long proposed a tactic to stick to, he didn't believe that Zhao Long would choose such a tactic under the premise of not being sure.

Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with Zhao Long's tactics of shrinking back after coming to Youzhou: "Why is this so? ”

Zhao Long said: "Mingguan has troubles. A great war broke out between the lords of Goryeo, and Mingguan dared to leave Liaodong and fight for Youzhou. It's a pity that he was delayed a lot by Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan. As far as my spies in Goryeo know, the southern lord of Goryeo has fallen to Kaegyong and retreated to Jeonju. Once the Goryeo Kingdom is unified, Myeongguan will have endless troubles. Therefore, Mingguan must want to solve it quickly. Our army is stubbornly defended, and the Ming Pass cannot be attacked urgently, so it will definitely return to Liaodong and interfere with the unification of the Goryeo Kingdom. The time left for Mingguan is less than a month or two. If Mingguan retreats, only Huma remains, and the soldiers and horses of Youzhou and Jizhou can be defeated quickly! ”

Zhao Long's words alarmed those present.

In particular, the local military generals had limited knowledge of other civilizations and rarely took into account the reactions of other civilizations.

But Zhao Long kept his eyes on Goryeo.

The Goryeo Kingdom is a pawn in containing Myeongguan. Zhao Long gambled that once Mingguan could not be captured for a long time, he would return to Liaodong and interfere in Goryeo.

"Zhao Long's plan is very reasonable."

The judge asked people to get the map, and he also had dealings with Zhao Long, who, as the first general of Yuan Shao's forces, had dealings with Yuan Shao's subordinates. Although the trial match competed with Tian Feng and Fu Zhu from time to time, at this time, the relationship forces were alive and dead. After careful consideration, the judge believed that Zhao Long's strategy was very reasonable.

The kingdom of Goryeo was reunified, and a fire broke out in the backyard of Myeongguan.

Just wait and win!

"Zhao Long is reasonable."

Zhang He, Ju Yi, Gao Ran and other generals were also moved, they secretly had a personal relationship with Zhao Long, and Zhao Long's strategy was simple and effective, so they all agreed.

"That's the best."

Liu Bei was unwilling to suffer heavy losses due to the participation of his troops in the Battle of Youzhou, and agreed to Zhao Long's proposal.

Considering the threat posed to Liaodong by the unification of Goryeo, Chen Xi, the inhuman military advisor, finally concluded that like Zhao Long, Mingguanhui had to return to deal with Goryeo. The Choi dynasty, established by Choi Jae-seon, the first lord of Goryeo, was too much of a threat to Myeongguan. The population of Goryeo is not less than that of Liaodong, and the latitude of the local area is lower than that of Liaodong, and there are many grain-producing areas.

Yuan Shao saw that everyone fell to Zhao Long, and although Zhao Long showed him a way to win, he was unhappy in his heart.

Zhao Long has a lot of fiefdoms within his power, and there are no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the more military exploits Zhao Long accumulates, the easier it is to achieve high successes.

"Please camp in the camp, rely on Jixian County for self-protection, and wait for Mingguan to retreat."

In the face of the great enemy, many strategists did not dispute over interests for the time being, and took the lead in defeating the threat from the north.

Everyone unanimously supported Zhao Long's decision, although Yuan Shao was unhappy, his inner thoughts could not be revealed on the surface, so he reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Then according to what Wei County Taishou said, camp in the camp, support each other, and when the time is ripe, we will have a decisive battle." ”

"Command!"

The military generals left, but Yuan Shao's mood fell to the bottom. Zhao Long's right to speak is getting heavier and heavier, if it is not handled well, he Yuan Shao will be the second Han Fu, who was squeezed away from Jizhou.

"Military advisor, that Zhao Long is not a simple character."

After Liu Bei left Yuan Shao's tent, he said to the military advisor Chen Xi.

Chen Xi also has some understanding of Zhao Long: "Zhao Long can strengthen himself under Yuan Shao's power, and he is a hero himself. Don't look at Yuan Shao's current ownership of the entire Jizhou, in fact, the Zhao Kingdom, the Changshan Kingdom, the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the Wei County part are all under the control of Zhao Long. If my expectations are correct, Zhao Long has the idea of replacing him, just like the story of Yuan Shao's expulsion of Han Fu that day. ”

"I wonder if we'll have a chance?"

"If Zhao Long miscalculates, the people in Jizhou will be in turmoil, and it will be a good opportunity for the lord to replace him."

When Zhao Long was calculating Yuan Shao, Chen Xi was also trying to calculate Zhao Long.

No matter how Yuan Shao coordinates the relationship with Zhao Long, the contradictions accumulated within Jizhou will break out sooner or later, and when the time comes, it may not be Liu Bei's time.

The forces of all parties are intriguing with each other, and the undercurrents of Youzhou and Jizhou are surging.
