The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 592
Chen Ziming prepared an army of 30 troops for Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and divided them into two groups to completely restrain Jiangdong soldiers.

As for Cao Cao, the greatest enemy of Liu Bei, Chen Ziming prepared four armies for him, 15 in Yizhou, 15 in Liangzhou, and 15 in Bingzhou. In addition to Jizhou, Liu Bei personally commanded 25, a total of 70 troops.

If it wasn't for Zhou Yu's reputation, Chen Ziming had to deal with it carefully, not only sent Guo Jia, a top strategist, to fight against Zhou Yu, but also sent up to 30 elites to deal with Jiang Dong.Otherwise, there may be tens of thousands more soldiers and horses to attack Cao Cao, even hundreds of thousands more.

As for Liu Bei's trump card, the Thunderbolt Army, it was secretly divided into five divisions and transferred to various armies for use. Once the battle broke out, the Thunderbolt Army would give Cao Cao a big surprise.

"Hahaha..." Luoyang, Cao Cao's original Wei Palace, is now the Wei Palace. After Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei divided his troops into four groups and attacked in a large scale, he was not afraid at all, but laughed excitedly.

"Liu Xuande wants to compete with me in Guandu, but I can refuse."

"Pass the order of Gu, the whole army prepares for war, and meets the enemy!"

"Xia Houyuan guards Yizhou, Dong Zhao assists him, and guards against danger!"

"Yu Jin guards Tongguan, Man Pang assists, Zhong Yao guards Chang'an, Xianyang and other places, and reinforces Tongguan at any time!"

"Cao Hong guards the Hangu Pass, Mao Jie assists him, if the pass is closed, the pass will be lost!"

"Wu Zhi and Chang Lin command [-] troops to stay in Jingzhou, and reinforce Xia Houyuan at any time!"

"The rest of the ministries will all be transferred to Guandu, where they will compete with Liu Bei!"

"promise!"

Everyone listened to the order and decided that the battle for the overlord was finally about to begin. The two old enemies, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, would also formally face each other and compete against each other.

At the same time, Sun Quan was not idle, but he did not personally conquer Yizhou. Since the last time he personally conquered Yizhou and returned after a big defeat, he has developed a resistance to leading troops. Leading troops in battle is not only hard work, but also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may also get yourself involved.

Sun Quan still likes to sit in the rear and control everything remotely. In Sun Quan's view, this is what a qualified emperor should do. Let rough people do the rough work of fighting.

However, Sun Quan also attaches great importance to this war. After all, it is related to the survival of Jiangdong. Therefore, Sun Quan has boldly delegated power and fully supported this war.

Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to be the commander-in-chief, Lu Su to be the military adviser, and Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, Huang Gai, Zhuge Jin and others to assist. He commanded 30 troops to attack Xuzhou and take Xuzhou at all costs. Forced Liu Bei to retreat and make peace.

As for destroying Liu Bei, it is almost impossible, Liu Bei is too powerful now, unless Liu Bei commits suicide himself, there is almost no possibility for them to destroy Liu Bei.

Of course, it is not hopeless, after all, neither Sun Quan nor Cao Cao is weak.Moreover, no one can say for sure about the war, and no one knows when there will be a turnaround.

However, Sun Quan's definition of this war is to protect himself, block Liu Bei's attack, and join forces with Cao Cao to make Liu Bei return without success.

While Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to conquer Liu Bei in the north, he also transferred the Jiangdong navy to the front line of Jianye to establish a second line of defense, and at the same time prevented Liu Bei's navy from attacking from the sea. Jianye went deep into the interior. If Liu Bei's navy wanted to attack Jianye, it had to come from the Yangtze River , or land from the coast and abandon ship.

The estuary of the Yangtze River has been prepared, and the Han navy has no way to attack Wu from the Yangtze River. Moreover, there are lines of defense established by the Jiangdong Navy above the Yangtze River. Attacking from the Yangtze River, there is almost no chance of reaching Jianye.

If the Han navy wanted to attack Jianye, they had to choose to land and fight, but Jiangdong had already made preparations. As long as the Han navy landed, it would face 20 Jiangdong elite siege. Sun Quan was still very concerned about his own safety.

"Send an imperial edict ordering troops from Nanyue, Jiaozhou, Kuaiji and other places to move to the Jianye area."

Zhou Yu had just led people to the front line of Hefei, took over the army, and prepared to attack Xuzhou, while Sun Quan looked at the vast map of Jiangdong, and then issued an order to mobilize troops from various places again.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses in various places are already very weak. If they are deployed again, there will be no soldiers to defend." Cheng Pu was in charge of guarding Jianye. After listening to Sun Quan's order, he frowned and reminded Sun Quan. All blank.

"Old General, don't worry." Sun Quan said confidently, "There is no banditry anywhere, and there is no foreign enemy, so there is no need for soldiers and horses to guard it. This Northern Expedition is very important, and there must be no loss. The State of Wu should go all out."

It is no wonder that Sun Quan is so confident. Over the years, Sun Quan has continuously sent people to wipe out the forces that do not submit to him, especially the Shanyue clan, who almost became Sun Quan's soldiers and horses. The others all surrendered to Sun Quan.

It can be said that Jiangdong is very stable today, and there are countless clans supporting Sun Quan in various places. These clans guard various places for Sun Quan. As long as these clans do not rebel, then Jiangdong will be peaceful.

Cheng Pu still felt that Sun Quan's actions were inappropriate, but he couldn't say one, two, or three. There were indeed no enemies behind Jiangdong, and Cao Cao, who could threaten these places, was now too busy to take care of himself, and all his troops were transferred to deal with Liu Bei's attack.

Even the very important Jingzhou is now empty. If Liu Bei's threat was not too great, Sun Quan would have taken the opportunity to take Jingzhou. Cao Cao dared to do this, and Sun Quan was not short-sighted. Of course, he had to go all out.

With Sun Quan's order, the defenders from all over the country gathered again to Jianye. The large and small soldiers and horses added up, and Jianye once again gathered [-] people, ready to go, no matter if the Han navy attacked or went north to reinforce Zhou Yu.

When Cao Cao and Sun Quan dispatched troops, Liu Bei also set off from Linzi with all the people. He would go to Guandu, join the army, and personally command the army to fight Cao Cao. For this battle, Liu Bei Group will also go all out.

Of course, Chen Ziming is inseparable from Liu Bei's expedition, and then Liu Bei's two brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, in addition to 25 elites, there are also [-] guards led by Dianwei, and a thunderbolt army will also go Guandu dispatched after listening.

As for the civil officials, except for the officials of various ministries who stayed in Linzi to ensure the normal operation of the Han system, all other civil and military officials followed Liu Bei to Guandu.

Even though Guandu only has 25 soldiers and horses, most of the Liu Bei Group's talents are concentrated here.

In addition to Chen Ziming, the counselors also include Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Jushou, Yan Xing and other top counselors, and there are countless other second- and third-rate counselors. The huge counselor group will face Cao Cao's counselor group.

As for the generals, besides the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, there are also top generals such as Ma Chao, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Chen Dao, etc. There are thousands of second- and third-rate generals, and the lineup is luxurious.
