Shang Ji and Chen Gong had no enmity before, on the contrary, Shang Ji Jun had close cooperation with Lu Bujun long before the Northern Expedition Xianbei, and the relationship between the two sides has always been good.

However, things always change, in fact, as early as a few years ago, Chen Gong began to hate Shang Ji extremely, eager to peel the skin and eat meat.

There is no other reason, but because of Shang Ji's "no way".

After Shang Ji conquered Youzhou and Qingzhou, a forced relocation order was issued, and a large number of wealthy families in Youzhou and Qingzhou, especially in Qingzhou, were forcibly relocated.

In this process, there will naturally be unpleasant voices, and many wealthy families whose interests have been damaged have directly resorted to armed resistance, attempting to launch a riot to overthrow Shang Ji's rule in Qingzhou.

In the end, all the results naturally ended in failure, and all the wealthy families who participated in the armed resistance were all accused of rebellion and exterminated their families!

In this process, a large number of "celebrities" were implicated, and the celebrities who died under the sabre of the merchant could form a company.

In this way, combined with Chen Gong's historical performance, we can understand why he would desperately break with Lu Bu, and even force Lu Bu to fight Shang Ji at the cost of putting his colleagues to death.

In history, the Chen Palace was originally out of Cao Cao, and helped Cao Cao, who was only the Taishou of the East County at that time, to take Yanzhou by diplomatic means, which can be said to be the foundation of Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao also respected the Chen Palace very much, and appointed the Chen Palace as the garrison of the East County after taking over the history of the Yanzhou Assassin, which can be described as a favor.

However, in this case, Chen Gong resolutely betrayed Cao Cao, pulled Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Wang Kai and others to rebel, welcomed Lu Bu as Yanzhou Mu, and almost knocked Cao Cao to death with a stick.

Dig into the reason for Chen Gong's betrayal - Cao Cao killed several celebrities who criticized Cao Cao's eunuch kinship background!

Well, the reason seems so ridiculous, you must know that Lu Bu rebelled several times at that time, and he was already notorious, and Chen Gong was even willing to support such a person in order to take revenge on Cao Cao.

In terms of the number of celebrities killed, Shang Ji's side must be several times or even dozens of times that of Cao Cao in history, with Chen Gong's ideal character, he naturally hates Shang Ji and hates itchy.

As early as the beginning of the "Migration Order", Chen Gong instigated Lu Bu to crusade against Shangji, but when Shang Ji was in full swing, the generals under Lu Bu collectively opposed it, so it was over.

However, Chen Gong never gave up the idea of revenge against Shang Ji, and in the general environment of this discussion between the princes, he even did not hesitate to take advantage of Lu Bu's trust in him, and forced Lu Bu to fight a decisive battle with Shang Ji by such extreme means as falsely passing military orders and killing envoys without permission.

In fact, this is a class struggle, if it were not for the Shang Ji's implementation of the harsh family gate valve suppression policy, it is estimated that in the face of the absolute advantage of the Shang Ji, many princes have surrendered without a fight, or even if the princes want to fight to the end, those princes within the door will force the princes to surrender, just like Liu Cong in history under the "persuasion" of Cai Mao and others to surrender to Cao Cao.

On the border of Youzhou, Gao Shun is surrounded by people, and the battle has been going on for some time.

Gao Shun attacked a garrison point outside the Shang army according to the order of Chen Gong's family, and then because the retreat route was deliberately exposed by Chen Gong, resulting in an ambush, more than 100,000 Shang troops surrounded Gao Shun on a small hillside, and the situation was very critical.

However, soon, with Lu Bu personally commanding the troops, 10,000 demon wolves rode over, and it only took less than half an hour to successfully arrive at the place of the incident.

Because of this loss, Lu Bu had no intention of embarrassing the Shang army, so he only broke through the encirclement network and rescued Gao Shun in the encirclement, and then led the army to retreat.

The general of the merchant army who encircled and suppressed Gao Shun was taken by Lu Bu's prestige, and did not lead the army to chase after him, and also collected his troops.

Although the scale of this conflict is not only large, and the cumulative casualties on both sides are less than 10,000, but the nature of the conflict is extremely bad. Because at this time, the princes who were discussing at this time shouted loudly, but only Yuan Shao was the only one who really did it, and Lu Bu directly became the second because of Chen Gong's commotion!

Because it was Lu Bu's side that took the initiative to cross the border to attack, the Shang army immediately blew up the nest, and the Shang army assembled in Gaoliu City asked for battle.

However, Shang Ji was so calm that on the one hand, he continued to send troops to Takayanagi City, and on the other hand, he strictly ordered the army to be stationed.

This operation made many people a little confused, and some people thought that Shang Ji was afraid of Lu Bu's prestige and did not dare to act rashly. However, really smart people don't believe this statement, and even Lu Bu himself doesn't agree with it.

It's okay to say that other people were frightened by Lu Bu's name as the God of War, but Shang Ji's name can only be said to be louder than Lu Bu's, and it makes no sense to be afraid of Lu Bu.

But then, everyone saw some clues from Shang Ji's next move.

First of all, most of the troops sent by Shang Ji to the front line of Takayanagi were mainly county soldiers, and although the number was huge, the combat effectiveness was limited.

Secondly, while frantically sending troops to the front line of Takayanagi, Shang Ji "hiddenly" sent eight combat regiments, including the First Janissary Legion, to the North New Town of Zhuo County, and even Shang Ji himself and Himiko, who faintly had the name of the second combat strength of the Shang Army, arrived in Zhuo County.

Of course, this concealment is relative to the fanfare of Takayanagi, after all, it is the dispatch of millions of troops, and no matter how secret it is, it is impossible to completely hide it from the alliance's spies.

At this point, Shang Ji's strategic intentions were completely exposed in the eyes of the alliance.

It was nothing more than on the northern front, dragging Lü Bu with a huge corps and perfect defenses; On the southern front, relying on a small number of elite troops and naval divisions to cooperate, they dragged Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Yi and others; The Central Corps concentrated a large number of elite troops, stormed Yuan Shao's headquarters, defeated Yuan Shao, the vanguard of the anti-business emergency, at the first time, cut off the connection between the three armies, and finally broke through each of them.

Of course, this is the strategic intention of the alliance in the eyes of the merchants.

In fact, Shangji's strategic intentions were largely similar to those inferred by the coalition forces, with only minor discrepancies in the details.

As the Shang army personally led the heavy troops to Zhuo County, Yuan Shao's pressure suddenly increased.

Although Shang Ji only brought eight combat corps, and the total strength was not even one-tenth of Yuan Shao's army in the Youzhou battlefield, Yuan Shao was really afraid!

The shadow of the famous tree, Shang Ji has been invincible since his debut, but Lu Bu is furious when he is facing it, can Yuan Shaoyan not be afraid?

And after a tentative attack, Yuan Shao found that he might have been afraid a little early, and the combat effectiveness of the Shang Ji army was even higher than expected!

The eight legions are the Greedy Wolf Legion (Liu Meng), the Yanhu Legion (Qin Ping), the Crazy Knife Legion (Lu Kuang), the War Tiger Legion (Gao Xiang), the Berserk Legion (Zhao Shen), the Flying Cavalry Legion (Su Huan), the Tiger Ben Legion (Guo Biao) and the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard.

On the battlefield of Zhuo County, the most common scene is that the Shang army of different sizes chased the hammer of Yuan Shao's army, which was ten times as large as them, and fought thirteen battles in three days, Yuan Shao lost thirteen games in a row, not to mention the loss of troops, the morale of the whole army plummeted, and there were even many phenomena of escape.

Faced with this situation, Yuan Shao spent a lot of money to reward his soldiers on the one hand, and smashed the morale with money, and on the other hand, he frantically asked his allies for help, especially hoping that Lu Bu would break through the Shang army on the front line of Gaoliu as soon as possible, and then attack with Yuan Shao in the north and south, eliminate or at least contain the elite main force of the Shang army in Zhuo County, and provide a guarantee for Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Yi and others to break through Qingzhou.
