Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

The Battle of Jizhou lasted for more than half a year.

Both Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were exhausted.

Money and food were consumed countless times, and soldiers suffered countless casualties.

The location of the war was in Jizhou, which had the greatest impact on Jizhou, and farming in the areas involved in the war was delayed.

However, this war is already difficult to ride a tiger.

Gongsun Zan's ambition was to defeat Yuan Shao, go south to Jizhou, and then pacify Qingzhou to rapidly increase his strength.

As for distributing half of Jizhou to Huayu according to the agreement?
Gongsun Zan naturally dismissed it.

Hua Yu is very powerful. During this period of time, his actions were bigger. First, he settled Bingzhou, then flattened the grassland, then returned to his horse and took the land of Guanzhong, and then took Yizhou and Jingzhou into his arms.

However, no matter how powerful Huayu was, if Gongsun Zan occupied Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou, and joined hands with Yuan Shu in the south, he would be able to contend with Huayu.

As for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, one had hatred for taking his wife from Hua Yu, and the other had hatred for killing his father against Hua Yu.

Now, Gongsun Zan is jealous, and must quickly take down Jizhou.

The conscription in Youzhou has reached the point of insanity.

Men, over the age of 15 and under the age of 40, must serve in the army.

The grain and grass in Youzhou have also reached the point of forced requisition, and the people can only leave half full rations.

Gongsun Zan's militarism caused the people of Youzhou to suffer unspeakably, with complaints and small-scale rebellions one after another.

However, most of the young and strong were recruited by Gongsun Zan, and the rest were old and weak, and their resistance was not strong enough, so they were suppressed by Gongsun Zan one by one.

Gongsun Zan has an iron-fisted policy towards foreign races, and an iron-fisted policy towards the people of Youzhou.

Countless rebellions, as well as rebellious thoughts, were brutally suppressed by Gongsun Zan's iron fist.

On the surface, Gongsun Zan's rule over Youzhou has no problem, and one order can be quickly executed.

In fact, there are undercurrents everywhere in Youzhou. Once it breaks out, it may endanger Gongsun Zan's rule in Youzhou.

In this regard, Zhao Yun also suggested to Gongsun Zan twice.

However, Gongsun Zan not only refused to listen, he even wanted to punish Zhao Yun for the second time.

Thanks to Zhao Yun's popularity in the army, all the generals pleaded for him, so Gongsun Zan spared Zhao Yun's punishment, but relegated him to the rank of Marquis.

Zhao Yun was extremely disappointed with Gongsun Zan, and had a faint plan to leave Gongsun Zan in his heart.

After returning to his tent, Zhao Yun's personal soldiers came to report that there was a letter from his family.

Home letter?

Then it must have been sent by Zhao Yun's elder brother Zhao Feng.

Zhao Yun was overjoyed, and immediately took the family letter and opened it for a look.

"Ah, the elder brother was picked up by the champion?" Zhao Yun was taken aback after just a quick glance, "Xia Houlan also followed the elder brother, and was appointed by the champion to be a military officer in charge of criminal law."

"Brother's illness was cured by the genius doctor Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo?"

Zhao Yun couldn't help being overjoyed, his biggest concern was Zhao Feng's condition.

Over the years, Zhao Yun spent almost all the savings of the family, and even borrowed a whole lot of debts, seeking medical treatment for Zhao Feng everywhere, but there was no effect.

Ordinarily, Zhao Feng's condition is so serious, Zhao Yun should stay by his side to take care of him.

However, in order to make money, Zhao Yun can only join the army, because it takes money to find a doctor and to buy medicine.

But now that Zhao Feng's illness has recovered, Zhao Yun no longer has to work hard to earn military pay.

"Ah, Champion Hou told eldest brother about a marriage, and the wedding will be held in three months?"

Zhao Yun couldn't help being surprised and delighted: "Champion Hou is really kind to big brother, big brother's blessing."

After reading the letter, Zhao Yun suddenly felt that he seemed to have missed some details.

Therefore, Zhao Yun carefully read the letter from beginning to end twice.

It goes without saying that Zhao Yun's martial arts are superb, and his meticulousness is rare among the generals of the Three Kingdoms.

After reading the letter three times, Zhao Yun finally discovered the problem.

Gently putting the letter on the table, Zhao Yun frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: "It turns out that it wasn't Gongqing who defected to Champion Hou, and Champion Hou sent someone to treat the elder brother's illness."

"It was Champion Hou who first knew about Eldest Brother's illness and sent someone to take Eldest Brother over. Gong Qing followed him and defected to Champion Hou."

"However, the Champion Hou has a noble status, how can he know the elder brother?"

"Even if Champion Hou knew that Eldest Brother was sick, why would he take Eldest Brother over and invite a genius doctor to treat him?"

"Although eldest brother has martial arts, he is only slightly better than Gongqing."

"Also, due to illness these years, martial arts have basically been abandoned."

"When it comes to strategy, since my elder brother raised me, I don't have time to read and write, let alone read military books. What does Champion Hou like about elder brother?"

Zhao Yun couldn't figure it out, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

This is a bit like riding a bull to find a bull. Zhao Yun only thought about why Zhao Feng attracted Hua Yu's attention, but he didn't connect himself with this matter at all.

This letter from Zhao Feng is just a letter to report safety and inform Zhao Yun that he is about to get married.

Zhao Feng didn't mention anything else.

Originally, according to Zhao Feng's intention, he had to explain in the letter that Zhao Yun should leave Gongsun Zan and join Hua Yu.

However, Hua Yu stopped him and did not let Zhao Feng write like this.

Hua Yu is quite familiar with Zhao Yun, he is a very independent person.

Historically, Zhao Yun did not follow Liu Bei after Gongsun Zan's defeat.

At that time, Liu Bei was staying with Yuan Shao, wanting soldiers but not soldiers, wanting territory but not territory.

But Zhao Yun still took the initiative to come to Yecheng and defected to Liu Bei.

Therefore, if Zhao Feng wrote in the letter that Zhao Yun should abandon Gongsun Zan and go to Hua Yu, it would definitely cause Zhao Yun's displeasure.

With Zhao Yun's personality, he would never do this, and it would cause unnecessary difficulties for Hua Yu to recruit Zhao Yun in the future.

Hua Yu believed that as long as Zhao Feng was in his hands, Zhao Yun would not be able to escape sooner or later.

As long as Gongsun Zan is defeated and Zhao Yun has no master, he will definitely come to him.

Facts have proved that Hua Yu's thinking is correct.

Zhao Yun couldn't figure out the reason why Hua Yu did this, so he stopped thinking about it, let alone worrying about Zhao Feng.

The battle situation in Jizhou has basically entered a stalemate.

Gongsun Zan was no match for Yuan Shao, but with Ju Yi added, it was a tie.

However, at this time, something happened suddenly. Hua Yu suddenly announced Yuan Shao's major crimes, and then officially announced to the world that he sent troops to join the war.

This news definitely shocked the world.

Huang Zu took the land of Jiangxia to defect to Yuan Shu, Hua Yu did not send troops to Jiangxia, but suddenly turned the battle from the south to the north, which was definitely beyond the expectations of many people.

Even Guo Jia, who is known as a ghost, didn't expect it.

Hua Yu was about to send troops to Jizhou, so Cao Cao couldn't sit still.
