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

The current situation of the Kanto princes.

Gongsun Zan occupied Youzhou and the northern part of Qingzhou, but Shanggu Commandery and Dai Commandery were in Zhang Xi's hands.

Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and southern Qingzhou, but Changshan and Zhao were in the hands of Ju Yi.

Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, as well as Liang and Pei in Yuzhou.

Yuan Shu occupied the two counties of Huainan and Jiangxia.

Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou and Jiangdong.

That is to say, most of the land of Guandong is in the hands of these princes, and a small part is in the hands of Hua Yu.

There are two counties in Youzhou, two counties in Jizhou, and three counties in Yuzhou.

The combat plan formulated by Hua Yu took these three places as an opportunity.

The army consisted of three armies, sending troops to Youzhou all the way, sending troops to Jizhou all the way, and sending troops to Yanzhou all the way.

The places where the troops were sent were all in the northern part of the Kanto region, avoiding Xuzhou, Huainan and Jiangdong.

Of course, Hua Yu would also station troops on the eastern border of Jingzhou, one to defend Yuan Shu or Liu Bei from attacking, and the other to deter Yuan Shu or Liu Bei.

It is also deliberate for Hua Yu to set the main battlefield of the Kanto in the north and the defense in the south.

Because the land of Kanto is long from north to south, but short from east to west.

If Hua Yu attacked the Kanto area in an all-round way, the battlefield would be too long. The logistics supply route alone would be very long, and it would be easy for the opponent to run out of food.

Moreover, a full-scale attack on the land of the Kanto is tantamount to splitting out five armies to fight against the princes of the Kanto one by one.

Let the Kwantung princes cannot save each other, but can only divide and fight with Huayu.

This requires Hua Yu to have a strong force, as well as sufficient ordnance, as well as sufficient food and grass, as well as follow-up sources of troops.

With Hua Yu's current strength, if he fought against the five princes at the same time, if he defended in an all-round way, there would be absolutely no problem.

But if it was all siege battles, it would cause too many casualties to the Wei army.

Therefore, Hua Yu's combat plan is to take the initiative to attack on the northern front and fully defend the southern front.

Under one defense and one attack, Hua Yu can save a lot of troops and food.

Moreover, it is also a strategy for Hua Yu to attack Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but ignore Yuan Shu and Liu Bei.

First, with Yuan Shu's personality and current situation, as long as Hua Yu doesn't take the initiative to attack him, Yuan Shu will never use all his strength to attack Hua Yu.

Therefore, if Yuan Shu had to attack Hua Yu due to the covenant, he would definitely just be sloppy.

Second, on Liu Bei's side, with Zhuge Liang's overall vision, he will naturally launch an all-out attack on Hua Yu.

However, Liu Bei's army is currently caught in the war in Yamatai, and it is temporarily unable to return to the army.

Hua Yu launched an active attack at this time, just to get rid of Zhuge Liang.

Only Guan Yu guarded Xuzhou, and Hua Yu really didn't take him seriously.

If Hua Yu moved fast enough, perhaps when Liu Bei returned to the Han Dynasty, he would find that half of the Kanto land had already fallen into Hua Yu's hands.

Therefore, following Hua Yu's order, the three-way army began a war to dominate the world.

The generals in various places, Hua Yu also made some adjustments.

The Northern Route Army, with Xu Huang as the main general, Li Ru as the military adviser, and Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying, Ma Tie, Cheng Lian, Li Yan, Deng Xian, Fu Kuishan as deputy generals, sent [-] troops.

In addition, under the command of Zhang He and Han Meng, there are [-] soldiers and horses, a total of [-] troops, attacking Youzhou.

The South Route Army, with Zhang Liao as the main general, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng as the military advisers, and Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Meng Da, Hu Chuquan, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Pang De, and Xing Daorong as the deputy generals, commanded an army of [-] troops. , Attack Liang Guo and Pei Guo.

The reason why so many fierce generals were assigned to the South Route Army is because Cao Cao has such strong generals as clouds, and there is also a Li Jin who is not inferior to Lu Bu.

As for the Central Route Army, Hua Yu is naturally in command, and there is no chief general.

Originally, Hua Yu planned to hire Xu Rong. After all, Xu Rong's handsome talent was recognized by Hua Yu.

However, Bingzhou cannot be left unattended, otherwise, once the ethnic minorities in the north suddenly go south, Huayu's plan to conquer the East may be in vain.

Therefore, Hua Yu can only take command in person in this decisive battle against the Kwantung princes.

The Central Route Army has no military advisers, but only two soldiers, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng.

Although Hua Yu took the command in person, he actually gave the power to Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, especially Zhou Yu.

There are also many lieutenants, such as Hu Che'er, Hu Chi'er, Zhou Tai, Lai Man'er, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, Zhang Xiu, Niu Fu, Ma Xiu and others.

In addition, Jingzhou's defensive strength is also impressive.

The chief general is Wen Pin, the military adviser is Xu Shu, and the deputy generals are Leng Bao, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Huo Jun and Gao Shun.

It seems that there are few people, but it is not, because Gao Shun's camp includes eight generals, Gao Ya, Fang Yue, Wu Anguo, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai, and Feng Xi.

Because Jingzhou wants to focus on defense, Hua Yu put the camp here.

Liu Bei's Jiangdong army is all infantry, and it is absolutely difficult to gain any advantage under the strong combat effectiveness of the trapped camp.

As for the military division, Xu Shu has absolutely no problem with Lu Su.

If Zhuge Liang came back, Hua Yu would send Jia Xu there immediately.

Even if Jia Xu's strategy was not as good as Zhuge Liang's, Jia Xu was cautious and focused on defense, so he probably wouldn't give Zhuge Liang any chance.

The war to unify the world has completely kicked off.

In just half a month, all the soldiers and horses were in place.

When the Kwantung princes heard the news, they also took certain countermeasures.

The first is Youzhou.

As far as Youzhou is concerned, Gongsun Zan's strength is already very weak, and there are no generals with high martial arts skills under his command to support the scene, which is really worrying.

Cao Cao was very worried about this problem.

This time the alliance of princes did not have a leader, but a military command group was set up, with the participation of the princes of the five routes to decide the battle plan together.

Originally, Yuan Shao still wanted to be the leader of the alliance, but Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu strongly opposed it.

Liu Bei is also not what it used to be. He has become the strongest among the princes of the Kanto, and he is naturally full of ambitions.

Of course Cao Cao had his own ideas, but his background was no better than Yuan Shao's, nor was he better than Liu Bei, who was flaunted as a Han clan kin, and his strength was not too strong, so he didn't dare to reveal his ambition to be the leader.

In the end, there was no dispute, so Cao Cao had no choice but to propose to form a military command group.

It is actually very risky to form a military team without a leader.

Cao Cao knew this very well, but he had no choice but to take care of maintaining this hard-won alliance.

Originally, what Cao Cao meant was that, like the last meeting of princes, the armies of the five routes converged, and the princes of the five routes participated in person and commanded the battle on the spot.

In this way, the army of the Kwantung princes will stab Hua Yu fiercely like a sharp dagger.

The advantage of the Kwantung princes lies in their strong military strength, many generals, and many advisers.

Once gathered together, fighting Hua Yu, the world can almost be decided in one battle.

In other words, Cao Cao is going to gamble once, and the first battle between the two sides can determine the ownership of the world.
