The paper can't hold the fire, the news of Lu Bu's death in battle finally spread all over the world, and the imperial court soldiers and horses on Si Li's side collapsed, all relying on Zang Ba and Gao Shun to support them, but the victorious scales have begun to tilt, Yan Yang and others carried out a carpet search of the Bingzhou region while containing, but Zhuge Liang was like Zhang Fan at the beginning, which made Yan Yang dare not attack rashly, otherwise Si Li's coalition army may not be able to hold on for a long time.

Lu Bu's death caused a large chain effect, at this time the most panicked will belong to Liu Xie's court, Wang Yun was panicked all day long, ordered to gather the world's righteous people, and at the same time sent a letter to Xiliang Ma Teng and others, trying to persuade him to send troops to curb the counterattack in Jizhou.

If the two sides maintain a balance of power, or the coalition forces have an advantage, Ma Teng will definitely not send troops, but Lu Bu's death is too big a blow to the coalition army, and the rise of Jizhou is what Ma Teng does not want to see.

The Xiliang army is elite, and Ma Chao is also an invincible general, Yanyang attaches great importance to this, so he has no choice but to temporarily give up the counterattack plan and start recruiting troops in Bingzhou, waiting for the upcoming big war.

At the same time, Zhang Fan and Huang Gai finally arrived in Huaiyin, and Zhou Yu, who had burned out a three-point world, finally appeared in front of Zhang Fan, but Zhang Fan could never connect the young man in front of him with a robe and a sword around his waist with the domineering governor of Jiangdong!

Zhou Yu is not like Zhuge Liang and others who are simple strategists, his force is not weak, he can swing a sword to kill generals, and he can retreat to plan thousands of miles, this is a real commander!

Zhou Yu was shocked by Zhang Fan's arrival, he originally thought that Zhang Fan would be able to escape, but he didn't expect Zhang Fan to actually kill Lu Bu, which was like a fantasy, so that Zhou Yu, who had always been arrogant, couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan with admiration, coupled with Sun Ce's relationship, he was even more in awe of Zhang Fan, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Zhou Yu truthfully informed Zhang Fan of what had happened recently, and when he got the news of Ma Teng's troops, Zhang Fan was also a little unable to sit still, the Xiliang Army was definitely a terrifying opponent, Ma Chao was invincible, and only Huang Zhong could fight against him, and his appearance was definitely a big variable, forcing the Jizhou Army to only take a defensive position, and could not take the opportunity to expand the results.

With Qingxu and Xu in the way, Zhang Fan can only hope to return to the battlefield of Bingzhou quickly, but the current situation is extremely complicated, and it should be resolved quickly!

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Zhou Yu asked.

Zhang Fan said: "Xuzhou Tao Qian is weak by nature, the soldiers and horses under his command are not elite, now Cao Bao has been captured and returned to Shun, Xuzhou has no real leader, the threat is small and small, our top priority now is to clear Cao Yuan's two armies out of Qingzhou, so that we can worry about the future!" ”

"Easier said than done!" Zhou Yu sighed: "Cao Cao is a scheming person with sufficient troops, I am afraid it is not so easy to defeat him, this is a protracted battle!" ”

Zhang Fan nodded silently, this is indeed the case, but I am afraid that there will be changes on the front line of Sili after the protracted battle step by step, he can't afford to wait, he can't delay!

"There's no need to test it anymore, we should launch a total with the momentum of thunder and put pressure on Qingzhou!"

Zhang Fan said: "I will immediately send a letter to Zhang Jaw of Gaotang, and ask him to lead the soldiers and horses to cross the river and attack the Cao Yuan coalition army in Qingzhou before and after!" ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Go to the army and plot!" Once we attack, Yuan Shu will definitely be forced to join forces with Cao Cao, and we will not occupy the geographical advantage of fighting in Qingzhou, but it is better to think of some other methods, maybe it will have a miraculous effect! ”

"Gongjin has already made up his mind, so why sell it?" Zhang Fan said.

Zhou Yu said: "The two families of Cao and Yuan are inseparable, and it is rumored that Yuan Shu has long been dissatisfied with Cao Cao, we may be able to start from this point and make a move!" ”

"Discord?"

Zhang Fan frowned slightly, and immediately reacted after a while: "In this case, when one person is sent to contact Yuan Shu, it is said that we are about to launch a two-sided general attack, if he cooperates with us to capture Qingzhou, he will reward Qingzhou to him as a third fief, with his greedy and forgetful character, it is very likely to turn against him!" ”

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he was even more impressed with Zhang Fan, if he was able to come this far, he must have something extraordinary!

Generally speaking, it is impossible for Yuan Shu to make such a choice, but now Cao Cao is persecuted too much, he has resentment in his heart, and he may take risks, but in fact this is the only choice in front of him, Cao Cao let him be stationed on the bank of the Yellow River in order to prevent him from returning to Yangzhou, once the Jiangdong army will contain Cao Cao's main force, and Zhang Jaw will lead the army to cross the river and attack, it is likely that Yuan Shu will even lose his own life, and all the glory and wealth will be empty, so this is not so much a temptation, but a coercion, It's just that Zhou Yu and Zhang Fan didn't break it.

As soon as he thought of it, Zhou Yu immediately sent spies to sneak into Qingzhou to contact Yuan Shu, and at the same time began to reorganize the army, wanting to attack from both sides, break Qingzhou in one fell swoop, expel or even kill Cao Cao.

In fact, there are really few princes who can make Zhang Fan pay attention to it now, Jiangdong Sun Ce is an ally, there is no need to think about it, Liu Zhang is busy embezzling Zhang Lu's territory, and he can also ignore it, and the only ones left are Cao Cao, Ma Teng, and Liu Biao, as for Tao Qian, it is difficult for Yuan Shu to pose an effective threat at all, so he only needs to defeat Cao Cao, and Zhang Fan can concentrate on declaring war with Liu Xie's camp and winning the world!

Immediately, Zhang Fan ordered someone to send an order to Zhao Yun, asking him to quickly lead the army to help in the battle, and at the same time let Zhou Yu start to raise troops, but his target was not Qingzhou, but Chen Dengbu in Xuzhou!

The Xuzhou army is not elite, and Cao Bao has no military generals who can handle it after he was captured, it is purely a soft persimmon, Zhang Fan has no intention of Xuzhou land for the time being, but he is afraid that Xuzhou will take the opportunity to send troops when he is at war with Cao Cao.

Chen Deng's army was stationed in Pengcheng, Cao Bao was captured and kept closed, making a posture of strict defense, he thought that in this way, the Jiangdong Army would not fight his idea, but he didn't expect that this time Zhou Yu really sent troops, and as soon as he moved, the whole army attacked, and the troops came to the city!

This time not only Chen Deng panicked, even Tao Qian was terrified, until today he realized a problem, that is, Cao Cao could not send troops to save him, because once Cao Cao left Qingzhou, the Jizhou army would inevitably cross the river and attack, Cao Cao was still too busy to take care of himself, how could he send troops for it?

"What should I do? Do you want me to resist the Jiangdong soldiers alone? Tao Qian was at a loss.
