Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 671 Changes in the Situation in Xuzhou

Liu Bei also seemed to hide a red dragon in his heart, just waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky.

However, Liu Bei also knew that he had to be valuable first, so that Yuan Shao could value him, and then he would have any chance to follow up. Only when he got a firm foothold with Yuan Shao, could he continue his performance. Once he could fool Yuan Shao , then there will be a stage for him to display his methods in the future.

This is also the reason why Liu Bei wanted to pull Zang Ba to join Yuan Shao, so that he could have the support of Zang Ba.

But now, in order to appease Zang Ba's mind, Liu Bei is still analyzing the situation for Zang Ba, making Zang Ba believe that it is impossible for Yuan Shao to directly send troops to take over Taishan and Langya counties for the time being.

In fact, Liu Bei doesn't care about these two territories. Liu Bei also has the world in his heart. The two counties of Taishan and Langya can only be regarded as his qualifications for promotion. The hegemony has been annexed under his account.

Zang Ba didn't know that Liu Bei had so many careful thoughts, he just pondered over the pros and cons of the pros and cons, but after all, he was just an ordinary general with a strong background, so naturally he couldn't compare with Liu Bei in terms of intelligence and political level. It was just a calculation of small interests, but Liu Bei had already planned to sell him several times.

"This..., Duke Xuande, are you sure?"

Zang Ba was finally tempted. No matter how his Taishan County was close to Qingzhou under Yuan Shao’s control, in fact he was indeed more suitable to attach to Yuan Shao’s side. If he voted for Zhu Wei, Yuan Shao would have to fight his Taishan first when he went south to the Central Plains. county.

Zang Ba believed that he still couldn't resist Yuan Shao's army, so sooner or later he still had to face a choice, why not vote for Yuan Shao now, maybe he could keep his Taishan County as Liu Bei said.

"Although I'm not completely sure, I can be sure about [-]%! Xuan Gao, do you believe me?"

Liu Bei put on a confident posture in front of Zang Ba, which can be regarded as showing a bit of the charm of the children of the Han clan.

"In this way, a certain family will only follow the Xuande stallion! Hahaha!"

Zang Ba may have other ideas in his mind, but on the surface he still showed a posture of complete trust in Liu Bei, seemingly placing himself under Liu Bei.

However, since Liu Bei and Zang Ba had such an agreement, the two of them retreated without hesitation. They first retreated to Xiaopei, Liu Bei's temporary lair, and then emptied all their belongings in Xiaopei, and then Many people who had coerced Xiaopei moved to the north of Xuzhou.

Afterwards, Liu Bei and Zang Ba segregated Taishan and Langya counties respectively, looking for land to build defenses to deal with possible retaliatory attacks by Zhu Wei's army, and then sent envoys to offer winks to Yuan Shao. .

Just talking about Pengcheng in Xuzhou, the crisis was completely resolved with the retreat of Liu Bei and Zang Ba. It didn't take long for Tai Shici to bring the main force of the Shenjian Battalion to Pengcheng.

In this way, Tai Shici took over the defense of Pengcheng and other places in Xuzhou, while Lu Lingqi took Zhang Liao, Wei Xu and other Lv Bu survivors and the elite old soldiers of Bingzhou to the direction of Shouchun, waiting for Zhu Wei's arrangements for them. .

As for the original recruits and young adults in Xuzhou, most of them were reorganized, and most of them were returned to local homes to fill the local population base.

In the end, nearly 5000 to [-] Xuzhou local soldiers were stroked, and only more than [-] elite young men were selected to join the establishment of the Shenjian Battalion and become recruits of the Shenjian Battalion.

Next, Zhu Wei's arrangement and appointment for Xuzhou also came. Tai Shici and Xu Shu are still the chief generals and generals of the Shenjian Battalion. The prefects and the prefects of the subordinate Xuzhou counties can also be appointed and dismissed after being recommended by Chen Deng and approved by Zhu Wei.

It’s just that there are only six counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, including Taishan, Langye, Donghai, Pengguo, Xiapi, and Guangling. Now Taishan County and Langya County are under the control of Zang Ba and Liu Bei, but they also occupy about one-third of the northern part of Xuzhou. area.

The prefect of Guangling County is Xu Sheng. As for Xiapi and Donghai counties, because of years of wars, they actually belong to thinly populated counties. Therefore, Chen Deng is mainly responsible for Peng Guo in the hinterland of Xuzhou. The arrangement of the prefect is actually similar to the actual power of the county magistrate.

Of course, Liu Bei originally lived in Xiaopei County, which actually belonged to Yuzhou. Therefore, since Liu Bei abandoned Xiaopei and went to Langya County, Zhu Wei did not do anything to Xiaopei who was basically evacuated by Liu Bei. .

In fact, after Taishici's Shenjian Battalion took control of Pengcheng, Zhu Wei did not immediately order Taishici to send troops to Taishan and Langya counties.

Now the fact that Zhu Wei swallowed Lu Bu's power in Pengcheng and took control of Xuzhou has spread throughout the world.

Naturally, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also knew about it. Although they did not react on the surface to the fact that Zhu Wei forcefully acquired Xuzhou, they would definitely use other methods secretly.

Especially on Cao Cao's side, now he understands that Chen Deng actually switched to Zhu Wei. Cao Cao was tricked again and failed to gain any benefits in Xuzhou. He must be very angry, but he doesn't know how Cao Cao will react. up.

In this way, Zhu Wei's current task for Tai Shici is to stick to the territory he has already controlled, and there is no need to take too big a step for the time being, so as to save himself from being secretly recruited by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and get involved in the balls.

In addition, through the Three Kingdoms game system, Zhu Wei already knew that Liu Bei, Zang Ba and Yuan Shao had formed an alliance, so Zhu Wei also knew that Liu Bei and Zang Ba in the real world must have voted for Yuan Shao.

So the current situation in Xuzhou is actually Zhu Wei and Yuan Shao dividing up the interests, so considering the long-term planning, it is an acceptable situation.

If Zhu Wei must launch an attack on Liu Bei and Zang Ba, it is tantamount to completely tearing his face with Yuan Shao, then a battle between Zhu Wei and Yuan Shao is inevitable.

But now Zhu Wei still doesn't want to start a war with Yuan Shao immediately, Zhu Wei really needs to stop the war to digest the newly swallowed territory.

This is also the result of discussions between Zhu Wei and Jia Xu, Lu Su, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang and other advisers. Even Wang Yuyan in Xiangyang sent a letter to persuade Zhu Wei not to use troops in the Central Plains for the time being.

Because at this moment Zhu Wei's Gan Ning and Zu Lang in the southwest have already led troops into Yizhou Shu, and started a war with Yizhou Liu Zhang.

At this time, the war against Yizhou was launched, and the military advisers and advisers under Zhu Wei's account did not object. Even Zhuge Liang didn't think it was inappropriate. After all, it was a rare opportunity.

Anyway, it was a partial division, and the main force used was barbarian warriors. Even if there were any changes, it would not affect the overall situation on Zhu Wei's side. If Yizhou was captured because of this, but a large piece of ground could be obtained, why not do it... …
