Chapter 301: The Expansive Princes(2/2)
As a foreign lord, Zhao Long knew that Ashina Sheer was a Turkic prince who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. He grew up on horseback and dared to charge into battle. He was also good at using cavalry and had made many military exploits. His vision and ability were better than
Gao Lan. It is normal for Gao Lan to lose to Ashina Sher in the use of cavalry.
"However, I still have a general here who can be reused."
Zhao Long was indifferent to Gao Lan's defeat by Ashina Sheer. If he dared to support Yuan Shao, he would be sure to deal with Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao had already sent Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Ju Yi and other generals to the battlefield. When he heard that Zhao Long still had generals, he immediately said: "Zhao Long, as long as you help me defeat Liu Da'er, I can make you the governor of Youzhou.
"
Zhao Long said to a general: "It must be hard for Liu Bei to imagine that we will send cavalry to attack his grain road. Han Qinhu, you command the cavalry and go with Gao Lan."
*Han Qinhu, a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, participated in the destruction of the Chen State in the Southern Dynasties and ended the troubled times in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
"The last general takes command!"
Han Qinhu reorganized his troops and seized the position of general Gao Lan. Gao Lan was only qualified to serve as deputy general. Their goal was to cut off Liu Bei's food route.
"Chu Zimou, you suppressed Cao Cao, and I suppressed Liu Bei...but I know that you are the biggest enemy."
Zhao Long was not afraid of Liu Bei yet. What he was afraid of was Mu Chu Zimou of Xuzhou, whose territory was constantly expanding.
All princes aimed to expand to six counties or larger territory.
…
In Hanzhong County, the leader took the road and prepared a large number of peasant troops and grain trucks to go south to attack Bashu and bring Bashu into his own sphere of influence.
"Although the land in Hanzhong is fertile, it is just a basin after all. Only by occupying Bashu can we conquer the Central Plains. From now on, when attacking Bashu, we must capture the Kingdom of Abundance!"
Zhang Dao occupied Hanzhong County early, and after setting up farming in Hanzhong County, he prepared enough grain and grass, and finally had the capital to conquer Bashu.
As long as Hanzhong and Bashu are occupied, a Shu-Han empire can be established.
A large number of peasant troops were recruited in order to use their lives to open the passage into Bashu.
In Changsha County, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha who moved to fight here, had conflicts with several other governors of Jingnan, and the two sides continued to fight.
Tongque, the prefect of Lujiang, was attacking Danyang County and Wu County, two important places in the south of the Yangtze River, and started a war with the lords in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wang Defa, the governor of Nanhai, tried to unify Jiaozhou and then went south to Dai Viet.
…
In Runan County, Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's territory, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, such as He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, He Man and others, were active.
When Yuan Shu was conquering Xuzhou, a lord took the opportunity to occupy Runan County and claimed to be the governor of Runan. His general stabbed Gong Du to death with one shot, which shocked Runan and the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army!
"Yuan Shu has failed. He is just a withered bone in the grave. It is time for Yuzhou Mu to give way."
In Pingyuan County, Qingzhou, during the First National War, Tian Qi, the lord of Pingyuan County who once served under Chu Tian's Second Army, was already Prime Minister of Pingyuan County at this time. He called his retainers: "Once Mr. Zhao is annexed by Chu Zimou, the same will happen."
