Chapter 301： The princes who are striving to expand

"Why did Chu Zimou act so quickly? According to my estimation, the princes near Xuzhou can hold Chu Zimou for at least one to two years. I didn't expect him to solve the threats posed by the surrounding princes so quickly. "

In Guanzhong, Xianyang City, Lao Qin received the news of Chutian's victory over the powerful enemies of the Quartet. In surprise, he thought that the development speed of his power must be accelerated.

His layout is also faster.

"We have completely taken down and consolidated the two counties of You Fufeng and Zuo Fengyi from the seven counties of Si Li. Wenhe, Dong Zhuo has lived long enough. Only when Dong Zhuo is dead, my Captain Si Li can take over Jing Zhaoyin. .Occupy Sanfu (You Fufeng, Zuo Fengyi, Jing Zhaoyi), and then take Hongnong County and Sanhe (Hedong County, Hanoi County, Henan Yin) to the east, and sit on the land of seven counties, and you can surpass Xuzhou Chuzimou Of the six counties."

赳赳 After Lao Qin took refuge in Dong Zhuo, he gradually became a trusted subordinate of Dong Zhuo. If it were not for the older Qin, Dong Zhuo would even consider accepting the old Qin as his son.

At present, not many princes own six prefectures or more than six prefectures. Yuan Shu counts as one, and Xuzhou Muchu Zimou.

赳赳 Lao Qin tried to annex the seven counties of Sili.

If you occupy seven counties in Sili, you might be able to compete with Chu Zi. There are seven counties in Sili, and Xuzhou occupied by Chutian with a population no less than that of Taishan county.

This is also his only chance to compete with Chu Tian in the Central Plains.

Occupy Sili, to the west you can get to Longwangshu, and to the east you can enter the Kanto region.

Jia Xu, who served as a strategist and lieutenant under Dong Zhuo, visited Xianyang City.

The reconstructed Xianyang City is already a medium-sized city at this time, adjacent to Chang'an City. After the governance of the old Qin, Xianyang City became the economic and cultural center of Guanzhong second only to Chang'an City.

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Wu, Li Xin and other generals are sitting in distress, waiting for their master's strategic plan.

赳赳Lao Qin began to deploy Wu Guanzhong and became the master of Guanzhong!

"Lord, I have convinced three key figures that once Dong Zhuo dies, use them to control the Union State Army and the Xiliang Army."

Jia Xu, as Dong Zhuo’s courtier, calls him old Qin the lord. The reason is also very simple. Before the foreigner recommended Jia Xu to Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu had already recognized the master Qin, who was good at strategy.

Jia Xu is a **** that Qiu Qin arranged to enter Dong Zhuo's forces early on. Because of Jia Xu's promotion, Dong Zhuo will occupy Luoyang according to the schedule and recognize Lv Bu as his son. At the same time, Lao Qin has become one of the important figures of Dong Zhuo's forces.

"Since Wang Yun and Lu Bu have agreed to act, Dong Zhuo's death date will soon come. And once we annex the Xiliang Army and the Binzhou Army, the power will rise."

赳赳 Lao Qin has long coveted Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, so he will carefully arrange it.

"The lords of Longxi County should not add trouble to us... They have already occupied Longxi County and Jincheng County, they are attacking Hanyang County, and they are unable to intervene in the affairs of Chang'an. This is our opportunity."

In addition to considering the power struggle in the city of Chang'an, Lao Qin also considered his greatest enemy, the group of powerful and powerful people in Longxi County, into the layout.

There is a mutual market treaty between the lords of Longxi County and Xuzhou Mu, which is an important ally of Chu Tian to contain Lao Qin.

The lord of Longxi County owns two counties, and his goal is to unify Liangzhou, and he is the enemy of the region with the old Qin in Guanzhong.

Li Xin wondered: "Dong Zhuo has many elite soldiers, such as Lu Bu, Guo Bang, Li Jia, Zhang Ji, Niu Fu, etc., once Dong Zhuo dies, these generals lose control, what should they do?"

赳赳 Old Qin didn't care, and looked at Jia Xu: "Military officer, you explain to General Li."

Jia Xu replied: "This matter will fall on the third key person."

……

In the west of Liaoning, Gongsun Zan led three thousand white horses and tens of thousands of cavalry, joined with his brother Yan Taizi, and competed for the western Liaoning corridor.

Youzhou has a vast territory and a large number of excellent horse-producing areas. If someone can unify Youzhou, it will be as powerful as Xuzhou.

In "Lord", the population outside Guanwai is more than in history, because many lords and players choose the birthplace of Guanwai. They build villages and bring a large initial population.

The most important areas outside the customs are the Liaodong and Liaoxi corridors. If you control these two areas, you can control half of Youzhou and you can enter the customs at any time.

If you occupy the entire Youzhou, then the momentum can be the same as the Liao State in history. When the Central Plains were weak, the Liao State even had the power to suppress the Central Plains.

Prince Yan followed Di Qing and Fan Zhongyan, leading the cavalry to join Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan has generals such as Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Shan Jing and Zou Dan.

Because Prince Yan once repelled the Wuhuan tribe and helped Gongsun Zan to rescue the siege, Gongsun Zan formed a worship brother with him and imitated Liu Guanzhang. The two great forces in the west of Liaoning converge to dominate the west of Liaoning, and the Wuhuan tribe cannot compete with it.

Just a Gongsun Zan can cause headaches for the Wuhuan tribe, not to mention the military commander Di Qing and the civil servant Fan Zhongyan of Prince Yan.

"Our enemy is Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong. He is so powerful that his brother is unimaginable."

Prince Yan was very afraid of Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, especially when he learned that the number one fierce of Mingguan was Chang Yuchun, known as "Chang Shiwan".

If Chang Yuchun is given to one hundred thousand people, it will be enough to ramp up the world!

It is generally believed that Chang Yuchun is Zhu Yuanzhang's second player after Xu Da.

Gongsun Zan didn’t care much: "No matter how brave the other party is, I must drink hatred when facing my white horse righteousness!"

"I have to guard against it. This time I have threatened several Wuhuan tribes to send troops. We have a total of 80,000 cavalry and 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry. One hundred thousand cavalry, as long as they are properly deployed and use the mobility of the cavalry, may be able to defeat Mingguan. ."

Prince Yan used as many troops as possible, only then could he have the courage to fight Mingguan.

He and Gongsun Zan each sent forty thousand cavalry, and at the same time forced the Wuhuan tribe to send troops to help. The Wuhuan cavalry is combative and combative, which is a great help.

Mingguan is an unprecedented former enemy. Any power must be considered before winning.

Gongsun Zan calmed down his beloved brothers: "I heard that Guan Weizhen Liaodong, but this is Liaoxi. As long as he dares to come, he must come back and forth. When you defeat Mingguan with your brother, we must go and kill. You Zhou Mu Liu Yu. At that time I will be You Zhou Mu, and your righteous brother will be Chang Shi and the prefect, and we will share the wealth."

"I hope we can defeat Mingguan, otherwise we will all become prisoners."

Prince Yan has Gongsun Zan's help, but he still walks on thin ice.

The territorial ranking of Mingguan Pass, the prefect of Liaodong, fell out of the top five in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the territorial ranking does not represent the true military strength. Especially for the lords outside the customs, they can use a large number of cavalry, and they are more martial arts than the general lords of farming areas.

……

Ji County, where Liu Yu's government is located in Youzhou.

As a benevolent prince, Liu Yu was also involved in the battle of troubled times. He had one hundred thousand Youzhou Legions under his command. Not long ago, he fought Gongsun Zan in Youbeiping County, but he was defeated.

"Gongsun Zan went to fight with the prefect of Liaodong in western Liaoning?"

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu heard that his powerful enemy Gongsun Zan had left Youbeiping County and entered the Liaoxi Corridor, and he was secretly relieved. Gongsun Zan is a fierce general, and Liu Yu cannot fight with him.

Liu Bei did not intervene in the battle between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan because of his friendship with Gongsun Zan and out of defense against Yuan Shao.

Engagement Xian Yufu suggested to Liu Yu: "Liu Xuande was fighting Yuan Benchu ​​at this time in the Guangzong County of Julu, where Zhang Jiao had died of illness. If the lord took advantage of the two people to fight south, he could take Bohai County and He Jianguo and Zhongshan, and even the entire Jizhou. At that time, the lord will have two big states, Youzhou and Jizhou, and they can compete for the world."

Liu Yu was not interested in the ambitious plans of his subordinates: "The court appointed me as Youzhou Mu. I should protect the environment and the people. How can I have two hearts?"

Xian Yufu has nothing to do with Liu Yu who has no intention of fighting for the world.

Youzhou is a big state with one of the best horse-producing areas. Only the current army under Liu Yu has more than 100,000 armours, and it has the capital to compete for the world. But Liu Yu's character is destined to not become the overlord of one party.

"Report, Liu Xuande sent an envoy to come for help!"

Liu Yu relaxes because Gongsun Zan goes to help Prince Yan fight in the west of Liaoning. Liu Bei sends strangers to ask Liu Yu for reinforcements.

"Liu Xuande and Yuan Benchu ​​are both imperial commanders, and no matter which side they send troops to help, it is against humanity and justice."

Liu Yu finally decided to stand by and do nothing.

Julu County, Liu Bei's forces are in a hard fight, Yuan Shao relies on his reputation to recruit a large number of talents from Jizhou, military commanders like clouds.

Jizhou was divided by Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao and Zhongshan Xiang Liu Bei. Yuan Shao occupied Wei Jun, Zhao State, Qinghe State, and Bohai County, a total of four counties. Liu Bei occupies Changshan County, Zhongshan County, Hejian County, and Anping County, which is also four counties.

The forces of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are fighting for the ninth county, Julu County.

Whoever can grab the ninth prefecture will have one more prefecture advantage.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought fiercely, haunting the enemy's formations, they are a thousand riders!

fiercely fought Shi Wansui with a gun against Zhang Fei, but he didn't fall behind.

Yan Liangwen Chou also commanded the soldiers to attack Guan Yu at the same time.

The high-ranking heavy infantry "Euphemist" led by Zhang Yun charged into battle and stormed Liu Bei's army!

Ju Yi’s Xianden dead soldiers fired a salvo of heavy crossbowmen to hit Liu Bei’s flank!

The number of generals under Liu Bei's command is still not many. Yuan Shao's second- and third-rate generals attacked one after another, which made Liu Bei unbearable.

Gao Lan led the light cavalry to try to cut off Liu Bei's food passage and attack the camp behind Liu Bei, but was defeated by the ambushing Turkic prince Ashina Sher, and Liu Beijun's morale rose.

Liu Bei stubbornly resisted Yuan Shao's army's offensive. He learned that Gao Lan was defeated by Ashina Sheer, and his frown stretched slightly.

"Gao Lan was defeated by Liu Dal's unknown generals, how should he be punished?"

Yuan Shao is surrounded by his trusted alien lord Zhao Long, as well as counselors such as Tian Feng, Jushou, Interrogation, and Guo Tu.

Gao Lan was defeated, making Yuan Shao angry. Originally, as long as Gao Lan destroyed Liu Bei's food road in Julu County, Liu Bei's army was shaken, and the victory was divided.

The thing that made Yuan Shao hot the most was that Gao Lan lost to an unknown general, Ashina Sheer. Yuan Shao had never heard of Ashina Sheer.

As the lord of the aliens, Zhao Long knew that Ashinasheer was a Turkic prince who returned to the Tang Dynasty. He grew up on horseback and dared to charge into battle. At the same time, he was good at using cavalry and repeatedly made military exploits. Gaolan. It is normal for Gao Lan to lose to Ashina Sher in the use of cavalry.

"However, I still have a general here, he is worthy of reuse."

Zhao Long was indifferent to Gao Lan's loss to Ashina Sheer. He dared to support Yuan Shao, so he was sure to deal with Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao has sent Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, Ju Yi and other generals to the battlefield. Hearing that Zhao Long still has generals, he immediately said: "Zhao Long, as long as you help me defeat Liu Dal, I can list you as the provincial governor of Youzhou. "

Zhao Long said to a general: "It must be hard for Liu Bei to think that we will send cavalry to attack his grain road. Han Qinhu, you command the cavalry and go with Gao Lan."

* Han Qinhu, a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, participated in the destruction of Chen Kingdom in the Southern Dynasty and ended the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

"The last general will lead!"

Han Qinhu rectified his troops and grabbed the position of Gao Lan as the main general. Gao Lan was only qualified to serve as a lieutenant. Their goal was to cut off Liu Bei's food path.

"Chu Zimou, you suppressed Cao Cao, and I suppressed Liu Bei...but I know that you are the biggest enemy."

Zhao Long faced Liu Bei, yet he was not afraid. What he fears is the Xuzhou Muchu Zimou whose territory is expanding.

All the princes aim to expand with six prefectures or larger territories.

……

Hanzhong County, the leader advocated preparing a large number of peasant army and grain carts for the south to attack Bashu, bringing Bashu into his sphere of influence.

"Although the land in Hanzhong is fertile, it is only a basin after all. Only by occupying Bashu can you compete in the Central Plains. From now on, to attack Bashu, you must take down the kingdom of abundance!"

Zhang Dao early occupied Hanzhong County ~ www.novelhall.com ~ After tuntian in Hanzhong County, he prepared enough grain and grass and finally had the capital to conquer Bashu.

As long as Hanzhong and Bashu are occupied, a Shuhan Empire can be established.

A large number of peasant troops were recruited in order to open the passage into Bashu with human lives.

Changsha County, the prefect of Changsha, Sun Jian, who fought here, had conflicts with other prefects of Jingnan, and the two wars continued.

The Lujiang Prefect Bronze is attacking Danyang County and Wu County, two important places in the south of the Yangtze River, fighting against the lords of the south.

The Nanhai prefect Wang Defa tried to unify Jiaozhou, and then went south to the Great Yue Kingdom.

……

Yuan Shu's site in Runan County, Yuzhou, was filled with the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, He Man and others.

During Yuan Shu's crusade against Xuzhou, a lord seized the opportunity to occupy Runan County and claimed to be the prefect of Runan. His troops stabbed Gong Du to death with a single shot. Megatron Runan and Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army!

"Yuan Shu has failed, he is just a dead bone in the mound. Yuzhou Mu should give way."

In Qingzhou Pingyuan County, during the first national war, Tian Qi, the lord of Pingyuan County who had served under Chutian’s Second Army Corps, was already Pingyuanxiang, and called to the doormen: "Once Zhao Gongzi is annexed by Chu Zi, the same Pingyuan County in Qingzhou is also not immune. This is a situation where the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. You go and inform Gongzi Zhao, and ask Gongzi Zhao to come and talk to me."
