When Zhang Liang learned that Runan County had been captured, he decided to lead the Dragon Legion to garrison it, not to the north, and to lead the army south to garrison Jiujiang County.

Not only that, but he also sent a message to Bai Qi and Zhao Hao, asking them to leave a legion to garrison Peijun.

Zhang Liang naturally did this for a reason, which was explained in the letter he passed on to Li Yang.

Now Li Yang has seven major legions in his hands, except for the Kaizhen Naval Regiment, which is a naval army, the other major legions are guarding against Qingxu, and even attacking other places is more than poke.

But if you fight too hard and seize too much territory, then you can't see it.

At that time, even if it is captured, there is no one to guard it, and it is very easy to be overcome, wouldn't it be in vain.

Therefore, Zhang Liang suggested in his letter to Li Yang that Yanzhou should only take the four counties of Dongjun, Jibei, Luguo, and Dongping, and even if it expanded outward, it should not exceed Shanyang County.

This proposal coincided with Chen Gong's, Li Yang naturally accepted it gladly, he was not a brave and unscrupulous Lu Bu, and naturally he also knew the truth of being greedy and chewing too much.

Since he didn't want to attack Yanzhou, he naturally didn't need so many troops to enter Yanzhou.

In the end, Zhang Liang led the Wild Dragon Legion back to Jiujiang County, Zhao Hao led the Wolf Tooth Legion into Pei County, his task was to guard against the Runan army at the same time, bite the back road of Cao Cao's army, and Bai Qi was directly across Shanyang, Rencheng two counties, attack Dongping Kingdom, but also to copy Xiahou Yuan's back road.

The autumn city of Peijun is the place where Cao Cao and Cao Ren agreed to meet the army.

Because the situation was urgent, Cao Cao rushed non-stop after closing the camp overnight, and Cao Ren, who received Cao Cao's instructions, did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and the second army arrived at Zhuqiu City almost front and back half a month later.

Whether it was Cao Cao or Xi Zhicai, they could guess that Li Yang's army would definitely follow, but they couldn't care about it.

After making a slight correction in Zhuqiu, he continued to set off and hurried directly towards Jiyin County.

After Cao Cao's army gathered, it was more than 1.9 million, known as 3 million, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

The news that Cao Cao's army had entered Jiyin County, Lu Bu and the others had already learned about it as soon as possible, and naturally they hurriedly sent troops to block it.

Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao was the commander of the army, and the result was naturally conceivable, about half of the 600,000 troops he brought with him fled back, and Zhang Chao was chopped into meat paste by a biao-shaped man holding a double halberd.

Then, before Lu Bu could prepare completely, he found that Dingtao had been surrounded by Cao Cao.

Dingtao is the Jiyin County Governor's Office, and it is also where Lu Bu's current headquarters is located, and Lu Bu's eight strong generals, plus the newly surrendered Zhang Miao, Xu Yan and others are here.

At this point, the head-on confrontation between Cao Cao and Lu Bu officially kicked off.

Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought quite fiercely, of course, some people were sad and some people were happy, such as Li Yang, who is now in Puyang, and he couldn't stop smiling when he saw this news.

Everything was developing as he and Chen Gong had guessed.

Cao Cao's retreating army had just risen with Lu Bu, and naturally it could not reach Puyang City.

Li Yang was even discussing with Chen Deng whether to attack Juancheng while Cao Jun was in a hurry.

As for Xiahou Yuan, who was attacking Taishan County, after receiving Cao Cao's order, he quickly began to retreat, while Guan Yu and Xu Shu, who also received orders from their own lords, led the Taishan army to follow and began to pursue.

Between chasing and fleeing, the second army rushed to the county town of Lu State.

Originally, when he attacked Fei Guocheng, Xiahou Yuan was already at a disadvantage, and now although he is not fleeing, in the eyes of the soldiers, it is no different from fleeing, so his morale has fallen again and again.

Xiahou Yuan saw that this was not good, if he was letting his morale be low, then he would not have to be caught up by the enemy, and he would scatter and run away.

Forced into desperation, he could only enter Wu County, intending to defend the city.

The Taishan army learned that Xiahou Yuan led the troops into Zou County, so they hurried to the horse, and then surrounded Zou County.

Xu Shu knew that as long as the Cao army in Zou County was wiped out, the task of conquering Lu State and Jibei County would be easily completed.

So Xu Shu negotiated with Guan Yu and decided to attack Zou County.

The Taishan Army is chasing the Cao army all the way, so naturally it will not carry any siege equipment with it, and because the Taishan Army did not set up a legion, it is not equipped with the siege artifact Red Training Chariot.

When Cao Jun originally attacked Fei Guo, he built a lot of siege equipment, but they also abandoned it outside Fei Guo, and now they moved from there, it is better to build it himself.

Therefore, after the Taishan army quickly set up camp outside the city of Zou County, it began to build siege equipment overnight.

They don't have much time, if they wait until Cao Cao learns the news here, they will inevitably send troops to the rescue, and at that time, not to mention wanting to eat Xiahou Yuan's army, it will be a lot more difficult to attack Lu Guojun.

And Xiahou Yuan in the city naturally knew about this situation, so when he entered Zou County, he had already sent someone to inform Cao Cao, and after his army entered Zou County, he hurried to build fortifications and equipment, without a moment of relaxation.

Xiahou Yuan's ability to lead an army to fight Mount Tai alone can not help but reflect Cao Cao's trust in him, and it also shows that he has enough ability, so to speak, in Cao Cao's camp now, his ability is enough to rank in the forefront.

He is good at running thousands of miles to fight and break rebellions, although he is not proficient in defending the city, but he is not comparable to ordinary famous generals.

Even with Guan Yu and Xu Shu, plus Zang Ba's ability, for a while, they couldn't help this Zou County.

And after blocking Li Yang's army from attacking the city for a few days, Xiahou Yuan also had a glimmer of hope in his heart, according to the current situation, although he could not repel this group of enemies, it should still be possible to hold on until Cao Cao's reinforcements arrived.

At the same time, he also admired Xi Zhicai in his heart, it was he who proposed to the lord that the grain and grass should be stationed in the city, and in this Zou County, there is a small grain and grass station, although it is not much, but it can support himself for more than a month.

However, the flame of hope that he had just raised was completely extinguished after the appearance of an army.

Early one morning, Xiahou Yuan, who had finally rested once, was awakened by a herald.

Hearing the herald's report, Xiahou Yuan, who was still a little confused, instantly sobered up, and hurriedly went up to the city wall with the soldiers to check, only to see an army that could not see the edge slowly appeared from the distant horizon.

Seeing that the enemy outside the city did not panic at all, the great brilliance that had just risen in his heart was instantly poured into his heart, and he understood that this group of troops that had just appeared was probably the enemy's reinforcements.

Sure enough, the group of Li Yang reinforcements that had just appeared outside the city, whose number was no weaker than that of the besieging enemy, had just entered the camp tent when the horn of war was sounded.

'Fool' This is what Xiahou Yuan thought in his mind when the defense of the city first began, because he saw that the group of people besieging the city turned out to be the 'new army' that had just come from afar, attacking the city with a tired army, not a fool.

'Madman' This is what Xiahou Yuan thought in his heart after defending the city for half an hour.

What can make Xiahou Yuan have this idea is not how amazing the combat power of the enemy who just appeared, but when he first fought, Xiahou Yuan felt that this group of enemies was weaker than the previous ones, which made him happy for a while, thinking that his guess was indeed correct.

It wasn't until half an hour after the battle that a blood-colored dark cloud appeared in the sky of Zou County, and then everything changed.
