Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

"Report, my lord, there is a person who claims to be Liu Zhang's messenger and wants to see him." Shouchun, a guard at Yuan Shu's mansion, came in and reported.

"Where is he?" Yuan Shu asked lazily.

"Waiting outside!"

"Bring him in!"

After the guards went out, Yuan Shu thought in his heart, I have no friendship with Liu Zhang, and we have no contacts, how could he send a messenger over.

Soon, Liu Zhang's messenger was brought in by the guard.

When the messenger saw Yuan Shu sitting on it, he immediately cupped his hands and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Empress General!"

"Your lord Liu Zhang sent you here, why?" Yuan Shu nodded and asked.

"My lord is willing to form an alliance with the later general to fight against Cao Cao," the messenger took out a white silk from his pocket, "This is my lord's handwritten letter, please read it!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand, and the servant who was waiting on the side immediately stepped forward, took the messenger's white silk, and then returned and handed it over

Yuan Shu took it and read it carefully.

"The later general Yuan Shu personally entrusted Cao Cao, a traitorous hero, who was born mean. After eunuchs, he stole Yanzhou and slaughtered famous people. Now he embraces the rich land of the Central Plains. He took several counties of Yuzhou before, causing the general to lose [-] soldiers. Later, he slaughtered Several cities in Xuzhou killed hundreds of thousands of people. It was a misfortune for one side. Now Zhang was planning to attack Cao Cao. , Yuzhou does not have enough soldiers and horses left, I hope the general will send troops early, to get rid of the shame and regain the lost land!"

Between the lines, it gave Yuan Shu enough face.

After Yuan Shu finished reading, he laughed loudly, and looked at Liu Zhang's messenger: "Liu Jiyu knows me, no matter what, you can go back and report, and just say that I agree to send troops!"

After the messenger left, Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's chief counselor, stepped forward and asked, "My lord, I don't know why Liu Zhang sent an envoy here?"

"Look for yourself!" Yuan Shu was very happy at this moment, he handed the white silk to the servant beside him, and ordered him to hand it to Yan Xiang.

Yan Xiang finished reading it quickly, looked up at Yuan Shu, with a happy expression on his face, and said, "My lord, I think it's feasible!"

Yuan Shu was happy, and asked Yan Xiang a rare question. "Who do you think will lead the army?"

Yan Xiang thought for a while, and the names of Ji Ling, Liu Xun, Zhang Xun, and Qiao Rui flashed through his mind, "At present, half of Jiangdong has been captured, and we can transfer back to Ji Ling, commanding [-] troops to recover Yuzhou, and Jiangdong will start to fight." Slow down the attack!"

Yuan Shu thought for a while and said, "Alright, although the area of ​​Jiangdong is vast, the land is barren and the population is not large. Let Liu Xun go there and keep an eye on it!"

Yan Xiang immediately conveyed Yuan Shu's order, fearing that he would change again if he was a step too late.

A few days later, when Ji Ling returned to Shouchun from Jiangdong, Yuan Shu had already prepared food and grass for him, and dispatched [-] soldiers, horses and civilian husbands.

After Ji Ling met Yuan Hou in Shouchun, he immediately went to the barracks, and then led the troops northward.

The north and west of Runan County were captured by Cao Cao. Ji Ling went north to Runan, stationed troops in Xincai and Ruyin, and then prepared to attack Pingyu County, where Runan was located.

Although Yanzhou is small, it is a densely populated state. Chenliu County is located in the westernmost part of Yanzhou, with Dongjun County in the north, Jiyin County and Liang State in the east, Chen State in the south, and Yingchuan County in the west. It is like a nail stuck in Cao Cao. In the middle of the site.

A few years ago, Cao Cao was defeated in the battle between Liu and Cao, and moved his office from Xuchangdong in Yingchuan County to Chen County in Chen State. Since then, Chen County has become one of the most prosperous places under Cao Cao's command.
Cao Cao led [-] people through Chen County, and went straight to the front line without stopping. Xun Yu, who was staying in Chen County, was busy allocating food, grass and military equipment.

Henan Yin is long and narrow from east to west, and the south is mountainous, making it inconvenient for large troops to march. Liu Zhang still did not dare to underestimate Cao Cao. He set up outposts at Yanggan Mountain, Song Mountain, and Yangcheng Mountain in the south of Henan Yin.

Liu Zhang himself has led an army of [-] troops and is sitting in Chenliu County.

For the 5 people, he spent his blood, and brought most of his elite, just to defeat Cao Cao again and complete the task.

Knowing that Cao Cao led an army of [-] troops and deployed a defensive line on the Chenliu-Yingchuan line, Liu Zhang immediately ordered his subordinates to send a large number of scouts to investigate the distribution of Cao Cao's forces.

Although he had defeated Cao Cao once in Luoyang, Liu Zhang still did not dare to be careless.

Cao Cao had already captured Fugou and Jiwu counties in the south of Chenliu, but he was surprised to hear that Liu Zhang led the army.

This Liu Zhang, how come so fast, as soon as he received Yuan Shao's letter, he immediately dispatched troops, how could he react so quickly.

Cao Cao thought about it, last time it was Liu Zhang who took the initiative to attack, this time he will take the initiative to attack.

He ordered Cao Hong and Le Jin to lead troops to attack Xiangyi, and then ordered Xiahou Dun, the prefect of Dongjun, to send troops from Dongjun to harass the north of Chenliu.

Liu Zhang was still investigating the situation when he was far away, and soon Xiangyi was captured by Cao Hong, but Xiangyi was in the east of Chenliu, so the impact was not great.

When Gan Ning, Zhang He and others heard that Xiangyi had been captured, they all challenged Liu Zhang to take back Xiangyi.

Liu Zhang refused, saying: "Chen Liuxin's acquisition is not stable. If he divides his troops and goes east to Xiangyi, it may be difficult to take it back. Wait a few more days."

The generals had no choice but to retreat and arrange their own defenses.

On Cao Cao's side, seeing Liu Zhang's lack of response, he was puzzled and immediately summoned his advisers to discuss.

Xun You suggested that since Liu Zhang did not respond, he should continue to attack, so Cao Cao ordered Cao Hongle, who was still in Xiangyi, to come in and continue northward to attack Kaocheng.

There were only [-] defenders in Kaocheng, and they were defeated after five days of resistance.

Seeing that Liu Zhang still didn't respond, Cao Cao ordered Yu Jin and Cao Ren to lead [-] troops northward to capture Yongqiu.

As long as Yongqiu is captured, Chenliu County, where Chen Liuzhi is located, will be safe to defend.

But just after Yu Jin and Cao Ren led the troops out of the camp, news came from the rear that Yuan Shu sent [-] troops to attack Yuzhou.

Cao Cao was shocked, and said to the crowd: "Yuan Shu, the dead bones in the tomb, dare to attack me!"

After saying such a sentence, he fainted.

When Cao Cao woke up, it was already night, and Guo Jia, Xu You and others stood by his side.

"The battle between Liu Zhang and I is imminent. I didn't expect Yuan Shu to attack me in Yuzhou. Yuzhou has only [-] soldiers and horses, and there are not many generals. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist it!"

"Prime Minister, Yuan Shu General Ji Ling has captured Xincai and Ruyin, and is attacking Gushi fiercely. Li Dian is defeated, so I am writing to ask for help."

"Yuzhou has only 10 soldiers and horses. Li Dian is guarding Runan, and his soldiers are few. It is normal to lose to Ji Ling. I have 2 people here, Xiahouyuan has 3, Yanzhou has 3, and Yuzhou has 18. People, in my land of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, I can only raise [-] soldiers, and every time I go out for a conscript, I will be short of supplies. On the other hand, Liu Zhang, who is active in the four states, never worries about military supplies.”

Cao Cao said a few words angrily, then ordered Cao Ren to return to Yujin, and then ordered Cao Chun and Cao Xiu to lead 2 people to rescue Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is located on a plain, there is no danger to defend, and it is easy to be penetrated.
