"Lord, Gongsun Chan sent someone for help."

At this time, a sound of breaking the sky sounded, and in front of Xi Zhicai's eyes, a communication talisman suddenly appeared, he activated it with his divine thoughts, checked it, and his face became more and more solemn.

"This morning, Taishan County has been captured by Lu Bu's army, and Gongsun Zan led the remaining million soldiers to retreat to Lu County."

Xi Zhicai frowned, feeling that the current situation was becoming more and more tricky, "And three days ago, according to our detailed report, Yuan Shao was closely pursued by Wang Qiang's East Road army after losing the entire Jizhou, and lost half of Qingzhou again!" ”

"In this way, in a few months, Yuan Shao's last Banzhou territory will be lost and occupied by Wang Qiang's forces."

"Hey......"

Xi Zhicai sighed, "This Wang is too strong now." ”

"They have all three armies together, and they have all achieved the purpose of this round of raids, not only Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have been destroyed, but now even Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao will be destroyed."

"Once they have digested the results of the battle and started the pace of expansion again, who in the world can stop them?"

He is self-aware.

"Well, don't be impatient, everyone."

Cao Cao felt a little headache, waved his hand to stop the hustle and bustle of the crowd at the scene, and thought hard about countermeasures.

Although his own strength is very good, it is only stronger than that Gongsun Zhan, similar to Yuan Shao in his heyday.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan's two princes' forces could not stop the army of the East Road led by Lu Bu himself, which made him very worried.

His own forces are not bordering Yuan Shao, and there is also a Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan in the middle.

Although he and Liu Bei temporarily ceased war because of Wang Qiang's large-scale southward movement, the two sides were still on the same footing.

Because of the taboo that Qianlong Tianjiao cannot coexist, it is impossible for either Gongsun Zan or Liu Bei to let their own army enter the country.

As Xi Zhicai said, if you want to rescue Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, it is very simple.

Because the northern part of Gunzhou is now fully bordered by Wang Qiang's forces, his own family and Wang Qiang's forces have officially started a war, and the battlefield span is very large.

If you want to rescue Gongsun Zan or Yuan Shao, the operation is very simple: you only need to march north with your own army in an all-out way and start an all-out war against Wang Qiang's forces that occupy the northern part of Gunzhou.

This is the simplest strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

As for whether we can win or not, that's another matter.

Judging from the current overall situation, there is a chance that Wang Qiang will not be able to beat him.

Unless......

"Ladies and gentlemen, the combat power exposed by Wang Qiang's forces is too strong."

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and then made a decision, "Judging from the current battle situation, only if we want to move Dong Zhuo and Liu Biao, and start an all-out war with Wang Qiang, plus Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, as well as our side, we have the strength to compete with that Wang Qiang." ”

He's right.

Indeed, once the temporary alliance of these five princes is reached, and they join forces to fight against Wang Qiang's forces, the odds of victory are not small.

No matter how strong Wang Qiang's power is, there is a limit, and it is impossible to exceed common sense.

Under the pressure of today's grim situation, there is a great possibility that this five-party temporary alliance can be successfully formed.

After all, no one wants to be crushed by Wang Qiang so one-sidedly and annihilated.

Among their five forces, those big and small families are the same, where will they be willing to watch Wang Qiang's forces become stronger and stronger? And then they were wiped out one by one.

Therefore, this optimal solution is very feasible.

Of course, the best result was that the Wei family and the Yang family, which were entrenched in the Sili area, successfully launched a surprise attack to exterminate or expel Dong Zhuo from the Sili area.

In this way, it has obtained the incomparably rich human and material resources of the Sili region, as well as the support of many wealthy families, and at that time, Cao Cao's power alone will have the confidence to block another round of Wang Qiang's southward sweep.

After destroying Wang Qiang's forces, the princes of the alliance forces will each have their own destiny and compete for hegemony.

At that time, Cao Cao had absolute self-confidence and won the final victory and won Kyushu.

But among them, the biggest obstacle to the alliance is the alliance itself.

It is difficult for Dong Zhuo to convince that Liu Biao is a man of success, which is where the resistance lies.

They are not stupid, they will not be unaware of the disadvantages of the alliance, and in the end they will make wedding dresses for others.

Cao Cao's decision, many civil and military officials under his command knew that this was closely related to their own interests, if they didn't want to die and annihilate, they had to do their best to prevent the continued expansion of Wang Qiang's power.

Then they were ordered to depart, and they went about their work.

The first task is to fully cooperate with the many wealthy families led by the Yang family and the Wei family in Sili, to backstab Dong Zhuo who is entrenched in Sili, and work hard for the smooth expansion of Cao Cao's forces.

……

Xia Pi City, Liu Bei's base camp.

"My lord, Yuan Shao sent a messenger, to see or not to see?"

Jian Yong hurriedly entered the meeting hall and inquired about Liu Bei.

"Nope!"

Liu Bei, who had been completely blackened, no longer had the previous color of hypocrisy and righteousness, and said categorically, "Then Cao Cao has already started a war with Wang Qiang, the overlord of the north, and he has no strength left to launch an offensive against our Xuzhou." ”

"Yuan Shao has become a lost dog, asking us for help, why don't you want to drag us into the water, so that our side and Wang Qiang will immediately go to war!"

He is a thick and black representative, how can he not know the catty in it?

"According to the comprehensive intelligence sent by our various sources, that Wang Qiang's power is in full swing, and it is not at all what we can match now."

"The only way for us to survive is to go south as soon as possible, and take advantage of the lack of skills of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, and go all out to attack Jiangdong, or attack Yuan Shu."

"No matter which of their princes is destroyed, we can multiply our heritage, and we will have the strength to compete with Wang Qiang in the future."

Liu Bei had already thought clearly about his next expansion direction.

In today's situation, Wang Qiang, the overlord of the north, is at war with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and even Liu Biao, which will inevitably be a time-consuming battle.

Whichever side wins, the victorious side will be broken, and with the work of stabilizing order in the occupied areas and restoring people's livelihood, it is unlikely that another war will be waged in the short term.

The time required for this series of battles is the best opportunity for its own development.

This is also the only chance for Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu, the princes of the road.

Only by integrating these southern forces can we have the strength to win the world.

"Okay, I'll send Yuan Shao's envoy away."

Jian Yong knew Liu Bei's decision, so naturally he would not object, and immediately left in a flash.

"Big brother, is our first target Yuan Shu or Sun Jian?"

Cheng Pu looked at Liu Bei with burning eyes, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Many of these plans have been in the works for months and have long been formulated.

As long as the final decision is made, the offensive will be launched quickly.

"Big brother."

Han immediately suggested, "I think that Yuan Shu is easier to fight, so it is better to start the No. 1 plan."

"As long as Yuan Shu is destroyed, we digest his territory, and then whether we seize Jiangdong or Jingzhou, it will be as easy as a finger, just like probing for something."

"When the time comes, with the help of the Yangtze River, no matter how bad it is, you can divide the river with Na Wang Qiang."

After countless bloody battles, both Han Dang and Cheng Pu have become qualified commanders.

Thanks to Liu Bei's adventures, coupled with the countless demon beast flesh and soul resources obtained by the beast tide, as well as Liu Bei, who has destroyed many wealthy families led by the Chen family as food, and has been immersed in development for more than a year, his current strength is incomparable.

Conservative estimates show that it has more than doubled compared to a year ago.

This is normal.

Without the constraints of the big and small families in Xuzhou, and having obtained their massive cultivation resources and human resources, Liu Bei's development speed was not worse than Dong Zhuolai's, and even stronger.

Liu Bei is completely different from Dong Zhuo, and after tearing his face with the wealthy family, he has won the hearts of the people of the entire Xuzhou.

Today's Xuzhou is completely under the control of Liu Bei, and the reserve force is very sufficient.

In this regard, even Dong Zhuo can't do it.

Dong Zhuo's forces are very barbaric, and they don't treat ordinary people as human beings at all.

In addition, it offended the wealthy families of the world, which can be said to be reckless and reckless, overdrawing the future development potential.

Therefore, it seems that Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo are similar, they have both torn their faces with the wealthy families in the world, but they are completely different from each other.

Liu Biao, this guy, now has more troops under his command than everyone imagined.

He implemented the tactics of crowd cultivation for all people in Xuzhou.

Although it is due to the fact that cultivators need qualifications before they can open the path of cultivating the sea of knowledge.

But Xuzhou was originally a wealthy state, with a population of 100 billion, and without worrying about money, food and cultivation resources, the number of troops in Liu Bei's hands increased exponentially.

Now Liu Bei's army in his hands, the number of soldiers has exceeded 100 million!

Ninety percent of these soldiers, although they only have two-star body refining realm cultivation, they can't stand too many of them, and they are all selected from among the civilians, and most of them are loyal to Liu Bei.

It can be said that in terms of military spirit, Liu Bei's side can be compared with Wang Qiang's forces, and compared with other princes from all walks of life, it is not a grade at all.

It is precisely because of this kind of existence that the current Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others are so full of confidence.

Whether it is Yuan Shu or Sun Jian or Liu Biao, ninety percent of the human and material resources in their territory are in the hands of various wealthy families, which makes them extremely restricted.

As a result, Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao were unable to unite at all, and the situation of dragging their feet occurred repeatedly.

Those wealthy families who did not have a hidden dragon Tianjiao were born, needless to say, selfishness, fighting for power and profit was the norm, and the mobilization of resources and manpower was difficult.

Therefore, no matter which of these three princes Liu Bei attacks now, the victory rate is not small.

The number of pro-guard troops led by Chen Zhi alone reached one million.

This is an elite composed of all three-star Qi Refining Realm soldiers, and it is not under any of the main battle legions of Wang Qiang's forces.

The elite army under Cheng Pu has five million people, and more than half of them are also three-star Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

In order to form these legions, Liu Bei almost consumed the resources of the entire Xuzhou, which can be regarded as a ruin.

He knew very well that if he didn't do this, he would have completely torn his face with the wealthy family, and in the championship, he would not have any possibility of winning at all, and the death of the clan was the only outcome.

It turns out that people are forced.

Including Wang Qiang, all the princes could not have imagined that Liu Bei, who was immersed in great development, had reached an unbelievable level in his strength.

Liu Bei, who was ruthless, was even afraid of himself.

"Yuan Shu?"

Han Dang's words fell, and Liu Bei shook his head, "The Yuan family is known as the first family in the world, and its heritage is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it will not be as simple as what is revealed now." ”

"Even Yuan Shao, who is like a lost dog now, will not be easily exterminated by Lu Bu's army."

"Moreover, Yuan Shu's old nest, Runan, has always been very mysterious, and the spies of the princes of all parties, including us, have not been able to detect any precise information."

"Being able to connect two hidden dragons can imagine the peak of their luck."

"With such a strong foundation, it's no wonder that there is no big secret in Runan!"

"Even now, once we choose Yuan Shu as our first target, it is very likely that we will not be able to achieve the final victory."

"If we get into a protracted war, it's very bad for us. Coupled with the fact that Yuan Shu borders the territory of Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Wang Qiang, God knows if they will launch a surprise attack on us when we are in a state of anxiety? ”

"Once that happens, it's going to be terrible, and all the hard work is going to be in vain."

"Second brother, third brother."

Liu Bei looked at Cheng Pu and Han Dang in front of him, and made a prudent decision, "For the sake of safety, the only target for our expansion this time is Jiangdong Sun Jian!" ”

"That Jiangdong Sun Jian, the territory he occupies now is just a half-state land, and the background is only better than Jiaozhou."

"Although Sun Jian's father and son are rumored to be invincible in Jiangnan, they have not tasted defeat so far."

"But no matter how strong they are, they are just a four-star God Refining Realm peak master."

"The three of us, plus Chen Dao, no matter which one of them, can fight them head-on, and the odds of winning are extremely high."

"In terms of Tianjiao generals, we are no worse than Jiangdong Sun Jianlai."

"In terms of the number of troops, we have an overwhelming advantage."

"When it comes to the elite of the soldiers, to say something unpleasant, where can Sun Jian compare to us?"

"Let's talk about the morale of the army and the people, hehe......"

Liu Bei chuckled lightly and said calmly, "It's not me bragging, in this Huaxia Kyushu, among all the princes, only that Wang Qiang can be compared." ”

"As for the other princes, when it comes to the hearts of the people, it is a joke, not worth mentioning."

"The advantage in all aspects is mine, so what will Sun Jian use to fight with us?"

"Once the war starts, it won't take a year, and it will be a foregone conclusion to take Jiangdong!"

He said confidently, "Once Jiangdong is taken, we can rest for a while, and we can continue to go south to Jiaozhou and seize Jiaozhou." ”

"When the time comes, occupy the land of Sanzhou, and we will become a super force like Wang Qiang!"
