Chapter 223 The Star Observatory and the Heroes(2/2)
It's a pity that he and Cao Cao are in the same county...
Cao Cao himself was a first-rate commander, and coupled with a group of second- and third-rate generals, Pang Juan simply couldn't handle it.
Therefore, Chu Tian believed that Gongzi Wen would be defeated by Cao Cao nine times out of ten, and he was no match for Cao Cao.
In Dingtao City, Jiyin County, south of Yanzhou East County, Gongzi Wen led the general Pang Juan and commanded 20,000 soldiers to attack the city.
He had given up on fighting Cao Cao in Dongjun because he realized that Pang Juan was no match for Cao Cao, so he took the initiative to lead his troops to leave the territory of Dongjun and fight in Jiyin County in the south.
This is also a strategy of the lords. Under the premise that the original territory cannot be defended, they can only develop into neighboring states and counties.
"Cao Cao himself is powerful, and there are so many players supporting him. Staying in Dongjun will only lead to death. I can't compete with Cao Cao even if I conquer Jiyin County. I have to conquer Peiguo and Shanyang County, and have three counties before I can compete with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao resists."
Gong Ziwen's pressure was countless times greater than that of Chu Tian, who competed with Tao Qian for Xuzhou, because his opponent in Yanzhou was Cao Cao.
In Jicheng, Youzhou in the north, Liu Bei brought his fierce generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as the alien military advisor Chen Xi to pay homage to Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.
Liu Bei's territory was in the Zhongshan State of Jizhou and Liu Yu Youzhou. Under the initiative of the foreign military advisor Chen Xi, Liu Bei took the initiative to find Liu Yu and only did one thing - to form an alliance.
"Liu Yu is benevolent but weak and is not a candidate to help the Han Dynasty. The lord can try to get acquainted with his son Liu He and his generals Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin and others to increase his strength."
The alien military advisor Chen Xi originally planned to encourage Liu Bei to try to imprison Liu Yu and annex the 100,000 Youzhou Army formed by Liu Yu. However, he knew that Liu Bei would never listen to this suggestion, so he suggested that Liu Bei make friends with the generals of Liu Yu's forces.
Once this happens, if something happens to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Liu Bei can successfully take over Youzhou Mu...
Liu Bei listened to this suggestion, and then brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to see Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.
Liu Bei had seen Yuan Shao's Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Zhao Long's Shi Wansui, Hu Ma's Lian Po, and Mingguan's Chang Yuchun. He realized that the struggle for hegemony in the area north of the Yellow River was hellish. If he did not form an alliance, he would be enemies with all sides.
Unwise.
In Yecheng, as Han Fu was attacked and killed by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, commanded by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao took control of Yecheng, annexed Han Fu's tribe, and used the characteristics of "four generations and three men" to conquer Han Fu's civil servants and generals, Tian Feng, Ju Shu
, Zhang He all entered Yuan Shao's tent, Yuan Shao's power was unprecedented!
Yuan Shao regarded himself as the shepherd of Jizhou and a general of chariots and cavalry, and generously rewarded the strangers who suggested that he attack and kill Han Fu.
He has now finally surpassed his former younger brother Cao Cao, and also surpassed that hateful alien lord Chu Zimou.
Both Cao Cao and Chu Zimou are now just prefects (prime ministers) and miscellaneous generals, but Yuan Shao's official position is one level higher than them, Jizhou Mu, Chariot and Cavalry General!
For Zhao Long, the foreign lord who made the greatest contribution to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao rewarded him with Handan and several other counties in Jizhou as a reward for his service to the dragon. At the same time, he was worshiped as a foreign strategist and treated the same as Tian Feng, Jushu and Xu You.
"I heard that Liu Bei, the Prime Minister of Zhongshan, and Liu Yu, the Shepherd of Youzhou, have joined forces and have the intention to occupy Jizhou. There are also Black Mountain troops in Jizhou attacking the surrounding counties. Lord Zhou Mu should be on guard against Liu Bei and Liu Yu, and at the same time pacify the Black Mountain Army as soon as possible. I am willing to cooperate with you
Master Zhou Mu joined forces to encircle and suppress the Black Mountain Army, just like Cao Cao, Chu Zimou, Liu Dai and others suppressed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army."
In order to take advantage of Yuan Shao's reputation, Zhao Long took the initiative to remind Yuan Shao that Liu Bei and Liu Yu might become powerful enemies.
"Liu Da'er is just a man who can't accomplish anything, and Liu Yu is a man who only talks about benevolence and justice and doesn't know how to use troops. Together, the two of us can pacify the Black Mountain Army within three years, and defeat Liu Bei and Liu Yu within five years."
After Yuan Shao took control of a lot of territory in Jizhou, his ambition and confidence began to expand.
His generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou were not bad at all, but they were defeated when they encountered the fierce general Wang Tiejian owned by the lord of Longxi.
Now Yuan Shao has regained his confidence in conquering the Central Plains.
