"Xu Ziyun has defeated Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao and dominated Hebei. Perhaps he will go south to Yanzhou in the future. It is time for us to resolve the threat from the rear as soon as possible."

Cao Cao summoned Chinese civil servants and military generals in the palace.

By defeating the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, Cao Cao's prestige rose sharply, and more local families defected.

Yuan Shao, who was the most famous in the eyes of the aristocratic family, was defeated and lost Jizhou. The Central Plains family had begun to look for new candidates for princes.

After Cao Cao became the most popular prince among the Central Plains families after Yuan Shao.

Xu Tian occupied Jizhou, Hebei's strategists and military generals accounted for most of them.

Your Highness, civil officials and military generals were divided into the left and right, with dozens of people.

Cao Cao was surrounded by powerful enemies, including Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou.

Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai and other strategists nodded.

Any strategist with some intelligence has already seen that there will be a battle between the dragon and the dragon and the tiger of Henan, Cao Mengde.

Both sides are trying their best to expand and clean up the problems.

Xu Tian’s future was Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Zhang Yang of Bingzhou, and Cao Cao’s future was Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Yuan Shu of Yuzhou.

“We need an excuse.”

Cao Cao did not send troops directly to Xuzhou. Before sending troops, he needed a reasonable excuse to make his army famous.

The player Leng Yue was among Cao Cao's civil servants and military generals, wondering whether to sacrifice to Cao Cao's father Cao Song and use this excuse to attack Tao Qian.

However, Leng Yue was worried that Cao Cao would go wild because of Cao Song's death and massacre the city in Xuzhou, so she gave up the idea.

Xun Yu pondered for a long time and suggested to Cao Cao: "Maybe he could use the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs."

Cao Cao's little eyes burst out: "Wen Ruo means to make Yuan Shu and Tao Qian get into evil?"

Xun Yu replied: "That's true. Yuan Shu is greedy and determined to be in the world. Since Yuan Shu failed to attack Jingzhou, he would definitely attack other prefectures and counties. The lord can send someone to lobby Yuan Shu and attack Xuzhou. Tao Qian was unable to defend Xuzhou. The Xuzhou family must have a request for the lord, and the lord can take advantage of the situation to enter Xuzhou."

"It's amazing."

After hearing Xun Yu's plan, Cao Cao called him an expert.

Chen Gong couldn't help but look up at the civil officials who came to join him from Yuzhou.

With Yuan Shu's ability, he was equivalent to pecking at each other with Tao Qian.

If Tao Qian could not protect Xuzhou, the Xuzhou family would probably give up Tao Qian. After all, the Xuzhou family is a fence-bearer.

"Then, as Wen Ruo said, he encouraged Yuan Shu to attack Xuzhou. Although Yuan Shu had enough troops and food, he was just a dry bone in the tomb. I will capture him sooner or later."

The more Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu, the more he liked him.

After all, he was Wang Zuozhi, a talented man from the Xun family in Yingchuan.

"Yuan Benchu, I don't know what's going on."

Cao Cao thought of his good friend Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was originally the most optimistic prince, and Xun Yu also planned to go to Jizhou to surrender to Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao was defeated, Xun Yu stayed in Yanzhou.

Bingzhou, Huguan, Yan Liang and Wen Chou killed the Huguan guards and occupied this pass.

Huguan is located between Bingzhou and Jizhou, and is a must-fight for military strategists.

Yuan Shao lost his territory and was unable to replenish his troops. He paced back and forth anxiously, worried.

Xu Tian took over as the governor of Jizhou, Cao Cao became the governor of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu dominated Yuzhou and Huainan, but he only had one pass and tens of thousands of troops.

"I, Yuan Benchu, is a famous family in the world. How could I be trapped in this small Huguan?"

Yuan Shao was unwilling to accept it.

He could fail, but he didn't want to lose to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao's starting point was higher than Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. As a result, in just a few months, he threw away his armor and was worse than Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. How could the arrogant Yuan Shao be willing?

After Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, was killed by Lu Bu, he currently occupied Shangdang County, and the princes of Taiyuan County were Zhang Yang.

If Yuan Shao wants to attack Zhang Yang, he needs an excuse.

Guo Tu privately suggested to Yuan Shao: "Lord, I have a plan called "Turn the tiger and swallow the wolf."

"The plan will be released?"

"The Baibo army was raging in Hedong County. The Southern Xiongnu occupied Xihe County in Fuluo and Huchuquan. I am willing to encourage Baibo army, the Southern Xiongnu, to attack Shangdang and Taiyuan with his own tongue. Zhang Yang is not the Baibo army. The Southern Xiongnu enemy must ask for help from the lord, and the lord can take advantage of the situation and replace it."

"Public rule, everything depends on you."

Yuan Shao still believed in Wolong Guo Tu and Feng Chu Feng Ji.

Although the population of Bingzhou is smaller than that of Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, it is still the same state, and Yuan Shao can barely accept it.

Guo Tu was sent to the Southern Xiongnu, while Feng Ji sent to the Baibo army to lead the wolf into the house and attack Shangdang and Taiyuan.

Yang Feng of Baibo's army was captured alive by Niu Fu, and Xu Huang defected to Xu Tian, ​​but Baibo's army still had a group of military generals who were conquering cities and territories everywhere.

The Southern Huns even had a large number of cavalry.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao disrupted the world by driving tigers and swallowing wolfs. Yuan Shu, the Great Emperor of Huainan, declared war on Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, while Bai Bo's army and the Southern Xiongnu invaded Taiyuan County.

In the midst of chaos in the world, Xu Tian was committed to occupying the nine counties of Jizhou.

Gongsun Zan was defeated and his power contracted to Youzhou.

In Nanpi City, Gongsun Zan's last city in Jizhou, countless soldiers and horses from Youzhou fled back to Youzhou from the teleportation array.

It was not that Gongsun Zan had no power to fight in Jizhou, but that Tian Feng was ordered to go to Youzhou to engage in activities, contact Liu Yu's old subordinates and families who were dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan, which caused turmoil in Youzhou. Gongsun Zan had external troubles and had to return to Youzhou to quell the rebellion of Liu Yu's old subordinates.

Tian Feng's plan was just right, completely dismantling Gongsun Zan's fighting spirit for Jizhou.

"Xuande, the plain has been lost. I am afraid that your position as the plain is famous but not real. When I returned to Youzhou, I regard you as the prefect of Zhuo County and guard against Xu Ziyun for me."

Gongsun Zan rode a white horse and had recovered from his injuries. He decided to appoint Liu Bei as the prefect of Zhuo County, recruit soldiers and horses in Zhuo County to guard against Xu Tian.

As soon as he arrived, Zhang Fei saved Xu Tian under Zhao Yun's men.

Secondly, Gongsun Zan also realized that only the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were able to guard the border.

"Thank you, General."

Liu Bei did not reject Gongsun Zan's proposal.

Liu Bei was also very miserable, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei two enemies of ten thousand people, but they had no fixed territory.

After finally taking office as Pingyuanxiang, Pingyuan City had been captured by Xu Tian in less than a month.

Gongsun Zan sighed: "We will return to Youzhou and wait until I completely pacify Youzhou, and we will take Jizhou again."

Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Tian Kai and others led their troops into the teleportation array in Nanpi City and returned to Ji County in Youzhou.

When Xu Tian led his troops to Nanpi City, the Youzhou army had already left. Without any effort, Bohai County was occupied by Xu Tian.

The four eastern counties of Jizhou, Bohai County, Qinghe Country, Hejian Country, and Anping Country successively served Xu Tian, ​​who controlled the complete nine counties of Jizhou.

Not only that, Xu Tian also accidentally captured Pingyuan County in Qingzhou.

Who made Pingyuan County north of the Yellow River?

In charge of ten counties and states, Xu Tianyi became one of the top vassals in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a true master of state patriarchal level.

"We can finally get a good farming."

Xu Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he entered Nanpi City.

Gongsun Zan was undoubtedly a powerful opponent, and he had the momentum to swallow the four prefectures of Hebei.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan faced a son of a plane who was stronger than Yuan Shao.

After getting all the nine counties in Jizhou, Xu Tian decided to farm.

The geographical advantage of Jizhou is to increase grain production. As long as you farm in Jizhou seriously, Jizhou will have an overwhelming advantage over other states when conquering other prefectures and counties in the future.

Six months later, the National War began, and Xu Tian needed to prepare for the National War.

National war requires the use of troops to resist strong enemies from all directions of Jizhou, and also to use troops. Therefore, it is necessary to reorganize the Jizhou army and build an iron army for national war.

The territory of the nine counties in Jizhou is extremely large. It takes a lot of energy to completely consume the nine counties and the plain counties.

"Zhang He and Ju Yi guarded the Hejian Kingdom, guarded against the troops of Youzhou, and went south again."

Before farming carefully, Xu Tian built a northern defense line.

The Youzhou cavalry went south on a large scale. Basically, there were only two main routes, either the Hejian Kingdom, Bohai County, and Pingyuan County routes in the east, or the Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom and Wei County routes in the west.

Xu Tian arranged for Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Xu You to guard Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhang He and Ju Yi to guard Hejian Kingdom, forming a northern defense line, curbing Youzhou troops, and then farming in the rear with peace of mind, and knocking on the surrounding princes, and even completely solving the hidden danger of Yuan Shao.

"Since the White Horse General Gongsun Zan has retreated, I will return to Luoyang. Han Dang wrote that the Western Liang army in Guanzhong was gathering and was ready to move. I worry that Dong Zhuo would take advantage of the fierce battle between the heroes in Guandong to send troops to attack Luoyang."

Sun Jian followed Xu Tian to capture Nanpi, and saw Gongsun Zan being defeated, so he resigned.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo is not willing to be lonely. If the Xiliang Army invades Luoyang, I will definitely send troops to rescue him."

Xu Tian has a strong army and is indeed confident to fight Dong Zhuo.

When he joins forces with Sun Jian, Dong Zhuo will probably be depressed.

"Hahaha, Brother Yi said this, I have some hope that Dong Zhuo will invade."

Sun Jian is not a saint, and sometimes he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

Dong Zhuo has been hiding in Guanzhong, but Sun Jian is not easy to deal with Dong Zhuo.

Sun Jian took Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and used the teleportation array to return to Luoyang directly from Nanpi City.

Xu Tian appointed a group of civil servants to govern Nanpicheng and the entire Bohai County.

In addition, Xu Tian promoted a group of third and fourth-rate military generals from Bohai County to guard Nanpi City.

Generally speaking, the troops will not be evenly distributed to each county.

The main force of the Jizhou Army was deployed in Yecheng and various border passes.

If there are counties and counties rebellions or sneak attacks, the main force in Jizhou will teleport to cities near the rebellion site to quell the rebellion.

It is actually a stupid way to disperse troops to various counties.

He went to the north to lobby for the Youzhou family and contacted Liu Yu's old subordinate Tian Feng returned from Youzhou.

Shortly after Tian Feng joined Xu Tian's power, he quickly made great contributions to Xu Tian.

It was precisely because of Tian Feng's attack that Gongsun Zan quickly withdrew from Youzhou and quelled the Youzhou rebellion, so Xu Tian could quickly occupy the nine counties of Jizhou.

The superiors attacked the plan, followed by the diplomatic relations, followed by the troops, and attacked the city below.

As long as the strategy is appropriate and the strategy is used to achieve the established goal, a lot of troops can be saved.
