Chapter 321 (1/2)
In Liu Bei's three Xuzhou counties, Zang Ba only sent people to Langya, the place where he started, but he didn't take care of Donghai and Pengcheng at all.
He has self-knowledge and has too few troops to allow him to occupy too much territory. In fact, even Langya and Zang Ba don't want it, but if they don't, Jingzhou army can attack Mount Tai from Langya and he will be attacked on both sides.
Yuan Tan could not trust him, so he had to take over by himself.
Liu Bei withdrew from the three counties and immediately sent Zhang Xiu with cavalry to take over. Because he went in time, Liu Bei only took the troops he left here, and the people who wanted to take them with him were intercepted.
Of course, Zhang Xiu only initially settled the Donghai state and Pengcheng state. Because Zang Ba blocked the troops Langya, he did not continue to go north. He just held a stalemate with sun Guan sent by Zang Ba until the prefect appointed by a strange plan came to take over the two counties, and then led the troops South.
Shouchun has gathered 300000 troops again, with Cao Cao as the general and Jia Xu and Guo Jia as the military division, and ordered him to take xiapi and Guangling.
In particular, he told Cao Cao that Cao Wei, the governor of Guangling, must take it, dead or alive. For this reason, the only two supernatural powers and martial arts set out with Cao Cao.
Watching Cao Cao's army leave, I feel very comfortable with the trick. After so long, someone can lead people to fight independently and will no longer be forced to use people like Cai Mao and Huang Zu.
Speaking of surrender, Cao Cao's power is no worse than that of CAI Mao and Huang Zu, but when Cao Cao first came, he had no foundation in the court and had to rely on tricks. With Cao's people in hand, the generals who surrendered with Cao Cao were scattered everywhere. Even if Cao Cao wanted to rebel again, the army under his hand would not follow him.
Therefore, it is safe to hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to Cao Cao.
And he waited in Shouchun with peace of mind.
……
”Gongda, how about the strength of Guangling Navy?” In Shouchun City, ask Xunyou for a trick.
”There are about 30000 people, more than ten building ships and hundreds of fighting ships.” Xun you replied.
”Where's our navy?”
”There are about 100000 people and hundreds of building ships.”
”We settled the south of the Yangtze River early, and the Navy seems to have no place to be brave.” The trick smiled, ”let Lu Su, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai send troops to break through the Guangling Navy, and then patrol the coast to prevent Cao Wei from escaping from the sea.”
”The general seems to attach great importance to Cao Wei?” Xun you doesn't understand.
”He's just unlucky. Changing the environment may not be worse than me. I don't dare to stay with such a person.” A random reason for the trick.
Otherwise, it can't be said that this is his task.
……
”Gentlemen, Jingzhou army is coming. How should we resist the enemy?” In Huaiyin City, Cao Wei moved the county government here to facilitate the control of the two counties.
The trick began to assemble the army to Shouchun. Cao Wei received the news and immediately organized the generals to discuss the matter.
He is very unwilling. Only when his career improves a little, will he be doomed.
Xuzhou is very rich and has a large population. In recent years, relying on two counties, he has recruited 300000 troops.
This is also the limit that the second county can support.
But Xuzhou also has defects. The combat effectiveness of soldiers is too poor. It must take a long time to become an army and train into a military formation.
Moreover, his position is also very bad. There is a sea in the East, Jingzhou army's territory in the West and south, and Liu Bei in the north. Neither of them is easy to provoke.
Although the Jingzhou army has been recuperating and stopped the war in the past two years, if he wants to touch the tiger's beard, he is afraid that the tiger will wake up and devour himself immediately.
The reason why he didn't move was that he didn't look at himself.
Cao Wei understood the trick very well and kept himself from making the threat of Jingzhou greater. He avoided the death of Cao Cao and Liu Bei and joined hands with Yuan Shao.
He wanted to join hands with Yuan Shao, but it was too far away.
