Langya Zhuge is a famous family.

Since Zhuge Feng, he has been an important minister of the imperial court and a literary master.

Extended to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Zhuge family was divided into three veins, represented by Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Dan, which happened to take refuge in the tripartite forces of Wei, Shu and Wu respectively.

There are many talents from all walks of life, and they are developing very well in their own forces.

Of course, the most famous of them is Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, but the one who went the farthest was Zhuge Dan.

Perhaps this is also the protection of the big family for its own family, scattering forces to take refuge, and any victory can preserve the honor and status of the Zhuge family, so as not to be put in a pot.

Historically, Zhuge Jin took refuge in Sun Quan and rose all the way to the top, and was an important minister of Eastern Wu.

His son Zhuge Ke is even more young and talented, known as a prodigy, and the weak crown worships the captain, and the later official worships the general.

Zhuge Jin chose Dongwu, first, the times were pressing, the Central Plains was in turmoil, fighting everywhere, only Dongwu was relatively stable, so about five years after Jian'an, Zhuge Jin chose to come to Dongwu; Second, after coming to Soochow, Zhuge Jin was reused by Sun Quan and was able to show his talents, so he has been working in Soochow and took root.

Zhao Chen visited Zhuge Jin and immediately expressed his identity and ambition, hoping that Zhuge Jin could join Liu Bei's account.

In the eyes of others, Liu Bei is not a sweetheart, and even a little weak.

At the beginning, he served under Tian Kai was only a plain minister, and then wandered to Xuzhou, and muddied Qingzhou with a state and two stabbing historical schemes, and finally Yuan Tan won, and Kong Rong was forced to leave.

Since Zhao Chen's assistance, Liu Bei has gradually improved, and Xu Shao has also given a relatively high evaluation.

If not, Zhuge Jin is estimated to take the initiative to take refuge.

Zhao Chen knew the history, and also knew Zhuge Jin's wishes, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ziyu, my lord Liu Xuande is now in charge of Xuzhou, and there are dozens of capable fighters and resourceful people under his account, and there are more big families such as the Chen family and the Mi family to support tens of thousands of soldiers. If Mr. Ziyu can join, it will be the blessing of Xuzhou and the blessing of my lord, and the future will be able to add wings to the road to Qingzhou. ”

Zhuge Jin was slightly startled, and his few careful thoughts were seen through by Zhao Chen.

In the face of Zhao Chen's directness, sincerity and lofty ambitions, Zhuge Jin did not twist and pinch, and replied directly: "Mr. Houde's name, Jin has admired it for a long time, today thanks to the love of Xuande Gong and Mr. Houde, I came to the house to find Jin, Jin is very grateful, from now on, I am willing to work with you to rule the world together." ”

When Zhao Chen heard this, he was overjoyed, led Zhuge Jin back to Jucheng, and set up a welcome banquet to introduce Zhuge Jin to everyone.

Zhuge Jin's joining is not simply a person, but also a family.

Now Zhuge Liang has not yet chosen the power, Zhuge Dan is not yet an adult, with Zhuge Jin joining, both of them may be included in Liu Bei's account.

Those are two great talents, but all the princes who want to dominate the world want to get it.

It is said that Cao Cao raised troops to attack Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu saw that the situation was not good, so he sent a copy of the book to Liu Bei's base camp overnight.

The letter stated that the previous conflict between the two families would not affect future cooperation, and hoped that Liu Bei would raise troops to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou.

The crowd didn't know what to do.

Sun Shao said: "Lord, the military advisor has expected this matter. Cao Cao's dispatch of troops is justified, and now Yuan Shu has become the lord of the Central Plains spit, if our army joins forces with Yuan Shu, and the traitor has no intention, it is better to follow what the military advisor said, ignore Yuan Shu, comply with Cao Cao's false edict, pretend to send troops, and actually develop Xuzhou. ”

Liu Bei followed his suggestion.

Yuan Shu saw that Liu Bei did not answer, and was immediately furious, but in the face of Cao Cao's army approaching, Xuzhou and Huaiyin in the east were heavily guarded, so he had to give up the idea of attacking Liu Bei for the time being and concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu each occupied one side of the force, which was very similar to the situation of Wei Shu and Wu Dingli in the later Three Kingdoms period.

The three-legged tripod is a relatively stable situation, and Cao Cao has also studied it in depth, but it has laid a good foundation for the later stage.

As for Zhao Chen, he is still concentrating on going north.

Qingzhou, as Zhao Chen's first target, has two main factors to consider.

First, Liu Bei now has few soldiers, and it is basically unrealistic to increase a large number of available troops in a short period of time, even if the recruitment in Xuzhou can be carried out smoothly, actual combat training is needed in order to select soldiers who can adapt to the battlefield;

Qingzhou, the most famous thing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is not how many famous generals and celebrities, but chaos. The number of Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou is huge, known as one million. In the third year of the first peace, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban overflowed, and entered Yanzhou, and successively killed Zheng Sui, the minister of the city of Rencheng, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei, and Yanzhou was shaken, which shows the rampant strength of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou.

Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers evolved from the Yellow Turban Army and lasted for more than ten years, becoming a profession that inherited his father's business.

Zhao Chen is interested in this piece of troops, although most of them were absorbed by Cao Cao, but there are still a large number of hidden people in Qingzhou who have retreated from the Yellow Turban Army, and they only need a little rectification to go to the battlefield, which is the best troop supplement.

In Cheng Yu's words, there are no worries about use.

Second, Yuan Tan has just won this place in Qingzhou, and it looks very harmonious on the surface, but Yuan Tan reuses the group small, likes to listen to recent words, indulges in luxury, and does not understand the difficulty of farming and weaving harvest, which leads to political instability in Qingzhou, and the people are eager for change.

Yuan Tan this person is also quite dramatic, on the military has Yuan Shao in the process of pacifying Hebei repeatedly made military exploits, when he first arrived in Qingzhou, the territory controlled by him was only the plain, directly to the north to expel Tian Kai, and in the first year of Jian'an, he won a big victory in the battle with Kong Rong. However, he is not a good talent, and he can't distinguish between priority and priority.

It is quite a pity that Yuan Shao passed on to Yuan Ji as his stepson, in order to make way for Yuan Shang.

Now that he has entered Qingzhou, he has a tendency to indulge, and there are many refugees in Dongwu, Zhuxian and Gumu bordering Qingzhou.

Zhao Chen grasped these two aspects, made friends from afar and attacked closely, and plotted against Qingzhou.

The first battle of the army is to point the sword at the North Sea.

When Yuan Tan heard this, he hurriedly raised 30,000 troops and came to resist.

Yuan Tan set out from Linzi to Yingling, and the distance was similar to that of Zhao Chen from Gumu to Yingling.

Since Kong Rong took over the Beihai Kingdom, the garrison force is very weak, with Zhao Chen's current strength is enough to take the entire Beihai, the key is to be faster than Yuan Tan!

It's just that now Zhao Chen's 10,000 army is in his hands, only 3,000 iron cavalry can travel 180 miles a day, and the infantry can only march 80 miles.

If you want to be fast, you can take the camp before Yuan Tan arrives, so you can only give up the infantry, move lightly, and make a surprise attack by cavalry.

Bu Qi hurriedly stopped Zhao Chen: "Military Division, the camp is located in the west of the Beihai Sea, deep into the Beihai realm. The two cities of Anqiu and Chang'an are guarded by soldiers, and if they are attacked from behind, I am afraid that the three thousand iron cavalry will have nowhere to go. ”

Cheng Yu also persuaded: "Military division, a hundred-mile raid is conducive to marching, but it is indeed not conducive to supply and siege, please think twice." ”

Zhao Chen listened to the suggestions of the two, thought for a long time in front of the map, and then said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, do you have the courage to go with Chen?" ”

Zhang Liao didn't think about it, and immediately agreed: "Wherever the military advisor goes, Liao will follow." ”

"Good!"

Zhao Chen pointed to Yingling, but his eyes shot to Linzi.
