Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 736 Cao Cao Yuan Shao's Response

Now that Yizhou is completely under Zhu Wei's direct control, Zhang Lu, who is still supporting the separatist regime in Hanzhong, naturally becomes the object that Zhu Wei needs to deal with.

It is impossible for Zhu Wei to let Zhang Lu maintain the current situation, so Zhu Wei has sent a letter to Zhang Lu, asking Zhang Lu's Zhang Wei army to take the Guanzhong route from Hanzhong and pass through Hangu Pass to Luoyang to support Zhu Wei fought against the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

This is tantamount to transferring away the main army under Zhang Lu, and it may not be returned to Zhang Lu in the future.

Of course, with the help of the Three Kingdoms game system, Zhu Wei doesn't have to worry about false surrenders. As long as the map of the Three Kingdoms game system shows a light green luster, that is someone he can trust.

Anyway, if Zhang Lu is willing to obey Zhu Wei and hand over Zhang Wei to control the army and come to Luoyang, everyone is good, otherwise Zhu Wei may have to use troops against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu will not be allowed to support troops in Hanzhong separatism.

At that time, it is completely possible to transfer Zulang's Yueshan camp or the Ma Teng army headquarters in Guanzhong, or the garrison left behind in Xiangyang to launch a siege against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Just in case, Zhu Wei still needs to leave Wu Yi to temporarily garrison in Zitong County, lest Zhang Lu have evil thoughts in his heart, think that Yizhou is empty, and make some other moths.

Of course, it will take some time for the specific arrangements for Yizhou and Hanzhong to be implemented, except that they will be transported to Luoyang Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and the [-] Dongzhou Army in the first place. In addition, other personnel transfers will take at least some time to materialize.

However, Zhu Wei is not worried that they will disobey orders. With the help of the Three Kingdoms game system, Zhu Wei also checked the loyalty of these Yizhou Xinguiwen and military officials, and most of them have loyalty in the [-]s to [-]s. , it can be regarded as a little surrender to Zhu Wei.

Facing Zhu Wei's personnel arrangement like this, unless they want to rebel, they will definitely accept the arrangement obediently.

And the loyalty of Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong who Zhu Wei was first transferred to Luoyang was also 67, 73, 78, and 74 respectively. Huang Quan, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong all already intend to develop with Zhu Wei.

Therefore, Zhu Wei believed that after they arrived in Luoyang, they would be able to increase their loyalty accordingly. As long as Zhang Ren's loyalty increased, Zhu Wei also asked Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong to use the [-] Dongzhou Army as their basis. The idea of ​​becoming an independent battalion is to set up another Dongzhou battalion.

At that time, Zhang Ren can be the main general, Huang Quan can be the commander of the army, and Wu Lan and Lei Tong will naturally be the subordinate generals.

It can be said that Zhu Wei has expectations for these soldiers and horses in Yizhou. In fact, apart from Zhang Ren, Huang Quan and other civil and military generals and military advisers, Zhu Wei is also quite optimistic about the [-] Dongzhou troops.

The [-] Dongzhou Army was originally composed of selected young and strong refugees from Nanyang and Guanzhong who fled to Yizhou. It can also be regarded as the most elite army under the name of Liu Zhang in Yizhou. It originally helped Liu Zhang pacify many rebellions in history. For example, the rebellion of Gan Ning and others before, and the rebellion launched by Zhao Wei in the future, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness is still somewhat.

Now that they are transferred out of Guanzhong to Luoyang, they can be regarded as their hometown, and there will be no problems of acclimatization.

As long as Zhu Wei trains them a little bit, they can basically become the elite main force of Zhu Wei's tent.

Well, generally speaking, the overall form of Zhu Wei is also very good now. With the end of the war in Yizhou and Guanzhong, Zhu Wei no longer needs to fight everywhere at the same time.

In this way, according to Zhu Wei's military mobilization, most of Zhu Wei's troops can already enter the next stage of the Central Plains War.

Although Zhu Wei is not yet capable of sweeping Jiangnan with an army of 80 or [-] like Cao Cao who dominated the northern Central Plains in history, Zhu Wei does have no worries and can concentrate his main forces everywhere , began his battle for the Central Plains.

If calculated from the current military strength, Zhu Wei has concentrated about [-] troops in the Zhongjun Battalion and Xiongba Battalion in Luoyang, and then nearly [-] troops from Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Liao in Guanzhong. But in fact, it can already be regarded as Zhu Wei's Northern Expedition army sequence.

In addition, Xuzhou Taishici's Shenjian Battalion and Shouchun Huangzhong's Huainan Battalion have a combined strength of [-] to [-] troops. Naturally, they are also the troops that will inevitably be called in the Central Plains War in the future.

Now, if you count the [-] Dongzhou troops that have been sent from Yizhou, and the young and strong soldiers selected from Ganning's Jiangjiao Camp and Chengdu in the future, there will be nearly [-], then another [-] troops can join Zhu Among the total strength of Wei's Northern Expeditionary Army.

In this way, in Zhu Wei's army in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the regular main force alone reached at least 26. In addition to the logistics auxiliary soldiers equipped by each army, it is by no means a problem for the total force to reach 40 to 50.

So if the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains really started, Zhu Wei could also claim to have an army of 80 or a million troops to fight.

It's just that all of this still needs time to gather slowly, but during this period of time, it is impossible for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to really have no reaction at all.

Although on the frontal battlefield here at Hulao Pass, Cao Cao was unwilling to confront Zhu Weijun alone and consume his strength, allowing Yuan Shao to become a fisherman to take advantage of it. So far, he has not really launched a strong attack on Zhu Weijun's camp outside Hulao Pass, thus allowing this The war on the other side seemed to be dragging on.

But Cao Cao still paid attention to the changes in the world's situation, and also made some measures to deal with Zhu Wei.

Although Cao Cao had no way of knowing the development of Zhu Weijun's battles in Guanzhong and Yizhou in the first place, he and his military advisers and advisers could also draw some inferences that were equivalent to the facts.

So Cao Cao naturally understood that the longer the time dragged on, the better Zhu Wei's situation would be, and it was impossible for him to continue wasting time like this.

In addition, Cao Cao did not ignore the threat of Zhu Weijun Huang Zhong and Tai Shici's troops to Cao Cao's rear. Therefore, after considering the development of the world, Cao Cao actually moved Han Xiandi from Xudu and began to move towards Juancheng. Move over.

Although Cao Cao did not directly send Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Yecheng as he had promised Yuan Shao at the beginning, Juancheng was also a target that Yuan Shao had asked for to move the capital, and it was not very far from Yecheng, Yuan Shao's old nest now.

This is equivalent to Cao Cao's compromise with Yuan Shao, at least he gave up the benefit of controlling the emperor alone, so that Yuan Shao can also have an influence on the emperor.

Although it took some time for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to go from Xudu to Juancheng, and he walked very slowly along the way, Cao Cao's actions naturally expressed his sincerity to Yuan Shao.

Of course, Cao Cao was really helpless.

The lands of Yuzhou and Gunzhou occupied by Cao Cao are really embarrassing. They were originally the places where the Central Plains had not had many defensive advantages, but now they are almost facing the threat of Zhu Weijun from the east, south, and west. There is no way to divide the troops into several places to meet the invasion of Zhu Weijun.

Therefore, Cao Cao must get the real support of Yuan Shaojun, otherwise, even if Cao Cao can resist Zhu Weijun's offensive on the frontal battlefield, Zhu Weijun may break through to the hinterland after all.

Just like when Cao Cao went to Xuzhou and was copied by Lu Bu to his old nest in Gunzhou, he had to withdraw his troops from Xuzhou and go back to fight Lu Bu.

Cao Cao's situation on the frontal battlefield, after all, needs the support of the old nest in the rear to continue to provide food, grass and materials. Therefore, once the old nest is lost, there will be no follow-up replenishment of food, grass, and materials, and the army in the front will soon be unable to maintain it.

Cao Cao knew very well that it would be difficult to stop Zhu Weijun on his own, so he had no basis for cheating and stealing, and could only rely on compromise in exchange for Yuan Shao's support.

On Yuan Shao's side, there are actually military advisers and counselors under him who are taking stock of the changes in the world. He also recognized the threat from Zhu Wei. Coupled with Cao Cao's compromise now, Yuan Shao finally decided to send troops...
