"Why is Chu Zimou's actions so fast? According to my estimation, the princes near Xuzhou can hold Chu Zimou at least one to two years. I didn't expect him to solve the threat brought by the surrounding princes so quickly. "

In Guanzhong, Xianyang City, Jiujiu Lao Qin received the news that Chutian had defeated the powerful enemies of the Quartet. In addition to being surprised, he thought that the development speed of his power must be accelerated.

His layout is also faster.

"We have completely won and consolidated the two counties of Youfufeng and Zuofengyi in the seven Sili counties. Wenhe, Dong Zhuo has lived long enough. Only when Dong Zhuo is dead can I, the Sili Commander, take over Jingzhaoyin. Occupy Sanfu (You Fufeng, Zuo Fengyi, Jingzhaoyi), and then take Hongnong County and Sanhe (Hedong County, Hanoi County, Henan Yin) in the east, and sit on the land of seven counties, and you can surpass Xuzhou Chuzimou The six counties of the country."

After Jiujiu Lao Qin joined Dong Zhuo, he gradually became Dong Zhuo's trusted subordinate. If Jijiu Lao Qin was not older, Dong Zhuo would even consider accepting Jijiu Lao Qin as his adopted son.

At present, there are not many feudal lords who own six counties or more. Yuan Shu counts as one, and Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou.

Jiujiu Lao Qin attempted to annex the seven counties of Sili.

If you occupy the seven counties of Sili, you may be able to rival Chu Zimou. Sili seven counties, the population is not less than Xuzhou occupied by Chutian plus one Taishan County.

This is also the only chance for him to compete with Chutian in the Central Plains.

Occupying Sili, you can get Longwangshu to the west, and you can enter the Kanto area to the east.

Jia Xu, who served as military division and captain under Dong Zhuo, visited Xianyang City.

The reconstructed Xianyang City was now a medium-sized city, adjacent to Chang'an City. After Jiujiu Lao Qin's governance, Xianyang City became the economic and cultural center of Guanzhong second only to Chang'an City.

Meng Tian, ​​Meng Wu, Li Xin and other generals sat upright, waiting for their lord's strategic plan.

Jiujiu Lao Qin began to deploy Wu Guanzhong and became the master of Guanzhong!

"My lord, I have persuaded three key figures that once Dong Zhuo dies, they can control the Bingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army."

Jia Xu, as Dong Zhuo's courtier, called Jijiu Lao Qin his master. The reason is also very simple. Before Yiren recommended Jia Xu to Dong Zhuo, Jia Xu had already recognized Jiujiu Lao Qin, who was good at strategy, as the master.

Jia Xu was a chess piece that Jiujiu Lao Qin arranged to join Dong Zhuo's forces very early on. Because of Jia Xu's promotion, Dong Zhuo will occupy Luoyang according to the progress, recognize Lu Bu as his adopted son, and at the same time Ji Jiu Lao Qin has become one of the important figures of Dong Zhuo's forces.

"Since Wang Yun and Lu Bu have agreed to act, Dong Zhuo's death will soon come. And once we annex the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, our power will increase greatly."

Jiujiu Lao Qin had coveted Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army for a long time, so he planned it carefully.

"The lords of Longxi County should not cause us any trouble... They have already occupied Longxi County and Jincheng County, they are attacking Hanyang County, and they are powerless to intervene in the affairs of Chang'an. This is our opportunity."

In addition to considering the power struggle in Chang'an City, Jijiu Lao Qin also considered his biggest enemy, the group of powerful and powerful people in Longxi County, into the layout.

The lords of Longxi County have a mutual market treaty with Xuzhou Mu, which is an important ally of Chutian to contain Jijiu Lao Qin.

The lord of Longxi County owns two counties, the goal is to unify Liangzhou, and the old Qin Jiujiu in Guanzhong is a regional enemy.

Li Xin wondered: "Dong Zhuo has many elite soldiers under his command, such as Lu Bu, Guo Si, Li Jue, Zhang Ji, Niu Fu, etc. Once Dong Zhuo dies, what will happen to these generals out of control?"

Jiujiu Lao Qin didn't care and looked at Jia Xu: "Counselor, please explain for General Li."

Jia Xu replied: "This matter still falls on the third key person."

...

In western Liaoning, Gongsun Zan led 3,000 white horse followers and tens of thousands of cavalry to join with his sworn brother, Prince Yan, to compete for the Western Liaoning Corridor.

Youzhou has a vast territory and a large number of excellent horse producing areas. If someone can unify Youzhou, its power is no less than Xuzhou.

In "Lord", the population outside Guanwai is more than in history, because many lords and players choose the birth point outside Guanwai. When they build a village, they bring a large amount of initial population.

The most important areas outside the customs are the Liaodong and Liaoxi corridors. By controlling these two places, you can control half of Youzhou and you can enter the customs at any time.

If you occupy the entire Youzhou, then the momentum can be the same as that of the Liao State in history. When the Central Plains was weak, the Liao State even had the power to suppress the Central Plains.

Prince Yan was accompanied by Di Qing and Fan Zhongyan, who led the cavalry to join Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan had generals such as Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Zou Dan under his command.

Because Prince Yan once repulsed the Wuhuan tribe and helped Gongsun Zan relieve the siege, Gongsun Zan formed a sworn brother with him and imitated Liu Guanzhang. The two great forces in western Liaoning merged to dominate western Liaoning, and the Wuhuan tribe could not compete with them.

Just a single Gongsun Zan can cause headaches for the Wuhuan tribe, not to mention Prince Yan's military commander Di Qing and civil minister Fan Zhongyan.

"Our enemy is Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong. His power is unimaginable for his brother."

Prince Yan was very afraid of Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, especially when he learned that the number one general of Mingguan was Chang Yuchun, who was known as "Chang Hundred Thousand".

If it were given to Chang Yuchun, one hundred thousand people would be enough to run amok in the world!

It is generally believed that Chang Yuchun is the second general under Zhu Yuanzhang after Xu Da.

Gongsun Zan didn't pay much attention to it: "No matter how brave the opponent is, in the face of my white horse's righteous obedience, you must drink hatred!"

"It has to be guarded. This time I have forced several Wuhuan tribes to send troops. We have a total of 80,000 cavalry and 30,000 Wuhuan cavalry. 110,000 cavalry, as long as the cavalry is properly deployed and the cavalry's maneuverability is used, we may be able to defeat Mingguan. ."

Prince Yan used as many troops as possible to have the courage to fight Mingguan.

He and Gongsun Zan each sent 40,000 cavalry, and at the same time forced the Wuhuan tribe who had been defeated by them to send troops to help. The Wuhuan cavalry were aggressive and good at fighting, which was a big help.

Mingguan is an unprecedented former enemy, and any power must be considered before it can be won.

Gongsun Zan reassured his sworn brother: "I heard that Guan Weizhen is in Liaodong, but this is Liaoxi, as long as he dares to come, he will definitely make him come and go. When you and your brother-in-law defeat Mingguan, we must go and kill them. Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu. At that time, I will be Youzhou Shepherd, and your righteous brother will be the long history and the prefect, and we will share wealth and honor."

"I hope Mingguan can be defeated, otherwise we will all become prisoners."

Prince Yan was helped by Gongsun Zan, but he was still walking on thin ice.

The territorial ranking of Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, fell out of the top five in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the territorial ranking does not represent the real military strength. Especially for the lords outside the customs, they can use a large number of cavalry, which is more martial than the general lords of farming areas.

...

Jixian County, the seat of the governance of Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou.

As a benevolent prince, Liu Yu was also involved in the war in troubled times. He has 100,000 Youzhou Corps under his command, and he fought with Gongsun Zan in Youbeiping County not long ago, but he was defeated.

"Gongsun Zan went to western Liaoning to fight with the governor of Liaodong?"

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu heard that the powerful enemy Gongsun Zan left Youbeiping County and entered the Liaoxi Corridor, and he could not help secretly relieved. Gongsun Zan was a fierce general, and Liu Yu could not fight against him.

Because of his friendship with Gongsun Zan and the need to guard against Yuan Shao, Liu Bei did not intervene in the battle between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.

Engaged Xian Yufu suggested to Liu Yu: "Liu Xuande is currently fighting with Yuan Benchu ​​in the area of ​​Julu Guangzong County, where Zhang Jiao died of illness. If the lord takes advantage of the two people's battle to move south, it is better to take Bohai County, Henan Jian Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom, and even the whole of Jizhou. At that time, the lord will have two big states, Youzhou and Jizhou, and can compete for the world."

Liu Yu was not interested in the ambitious plans of his subordinates: "The imperial court appointed me as the shepherd of Youzhou. I should protect the environment and the people. How can I have two hearts?"

Xian Yufu had nothing to do with Liu Yu, who had no intention of competing for the world.

Youzhou is a big state, and it has one of the best horse-producing areas. At present, the army under Liu Yu's command has more than 100,000 armor, and it has the capital to compete for the world. But Liu Yu's character destined him not to become a hegemon.

"Report, Liu Xuande sent an envoy to ask for help!"

Liu Yu was relieved because Gongsun Zan went to Western Liaoning to help Prince Yan fight, and Liu Bei sent a stranger to ask Liu Yu for reinforcements.

"Liu Xuande and Yuan Benchu ​​are both court officials, no matter which side they send troops to help, it is against benevolence and righteousness."

Liu Yu finally decided to stand by and do nothing.

In Julu County, Liu Bei's forces fell into a hard battle, and Yuan Shao, relying on his reputation, recruited a large number of talents from Jizhou, and the generals were like clouds.

Jizhou was divided between Yuan Shao, the minister of Jizhou, and Liu Bei, the prime minister of Zhongshan. Yuan Shao occupied Wei Commandery, Zhao State, Qinghe State, and Bohai Commandery, a total of four commandery states. Liu Bei occupied Changshan County, Zhongshan County, Hejian County, and Anping County, which were also four commanderies.

Yuan Shao's forces and Liu Bei's forces fought over the ninth county, Julu County.

Whoever can grab the ninth county will gain the territorial advantage of one more county.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought hard, and they were in and out of the enemy's lineup, each riding a thousand!

The fierce general Shi Wansui fought Zhang Fei with a gun, but he did not fall behind.

Yan Liangwen Chou also commanded the troops to attack Guan Yu.

Zhang He's high-level heavy infantry "Euphorteri" charged into the battle and attacked Liu Bei's central army!

Ju Yi's Xian Deng dead man fired a salvo of heavy crossbowmen to strike Liu Bei's flank!

The number of generals under Liu Bei's command was still small.

Gao Lan led the light cavalry to try to cut off Liu Bei's food route and attacked the camp behind Liu Bei, but was defeated by the ambushed Turkic prince Ashina Sher, and Liu Bei's army was able to boost morale.

Liu Bei stubbornly resisted the offensive of Yuan Shao's army. He learned that Gao Lan was defeated by Ashina Sheer, and his frown slightly stretched.

"Gao Lan was defeated by a little-known general under Liu Dal's command, how should he be punished?"

Yuan Shao was accompanied by his trusted alien lord Zhao Long, as well as advisors such as Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei, and Guo Tu.

The defeat of Gao Lan made Yuan Shao furious. Originally, as long as Gao Lan destroyed Liu Bei's food route in Julu County and Liu Bei's army was shaken, the outcome would have been decided.

What angered Yuan Shao most was Gao Lan's loss to Ashina Sheer, an unknown general. Yuan Shao had never heard of Ashina Sheer.

Zhao Long, a foreign lord, 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. At the same time, he was good at using cavalry and made many military exploits. His vision and ability were better than High view. It's also normal for Gao Lan to lose to Ashnasher in using cavalry.

"However, I still have a general here, and he can be reused."

Zhao Long was indifferent to Gao Lan's defeat to 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, and when he heard that Zhao Long had other generals, he immediately said: "Zhao Long, as long as you help me defeat Liu Da'er, I can list you as the prefect of Youzhou. "

Zhao Long said to the first general: "Liu Bei must be hard to imagine that we will also send cavalry to attack his food route. Han Zhuhu, you command the cavalry and go with Gao Lan."

* Han captured the tiger, a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty, participated in the destruction of the Southern Dynasty Chen State, and ended the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

"The last general takes orders!"

Han Zhanhu reorganized his troops and robbed Gao Lan of the position of the main general. Gao Lan was only qualified to serve as a lieutenant. Their goal was to cut off Liu Bei's food supply.

"Chu Zimou, you suppressed Cao Cao, and I suppressed Liu Bei...but I know that you are the biggest enemy."

Facing Liu Bei, Zhao Long was not afraid yet. What he feared was Muchu Zimou in Xuzhou, whose territory was constantly expanding.

All vassals expand to six counties or larger territories.

...

In Hanzhong County, the leader advocated the preparation of a large number of peasant troops and grain carts to attack Bashu in the south and bring Bashu into his sphere of influence.

"Although the land in Hanzhong is fertile, it is only a basin after all. Only by occupying Bashu can we compete in the Central Plains. From now on, if we attack Bashu, we must take down the Land of Abundance!"

Zhang Dao occupied Hanzhong County early, and after setting up the fields in Hanzhong County, he prepared enough food and grass, and finally had the capital to attack Bashu.

As long as Hanzhong and Bashu are occupied, a Shuhan Empire can be established.

A large number of peasant troops were recruited in order to use human life to open the channel into Bashu.

In Changsha County, Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha who moved to this place, had conflicts with several other prefects of Jingnan, and the two sides fought endlessly.

Tongque, the prefect of Lujiang, was attacking Danyang County and Wu County, two important places in the south of the Yangtze River, and fought with the lords of the south of the Yangtze River.

The prefect of the South China Sea, Wang Defa, tried to unify Jiaozhou, and then went south to Dayue Kingdom.

...

In Runan County, Yuzhou, Yuan Shu's territory, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, He Man, and others were active.

During Yuan Shu's crusade against Xuzhou, a lord took the opportunity to occupy Runan County, claiming to be the prefect of Runan.

"Yuan Shu has already failed, he's just a dead bone in the grave. It's time for Yuzhou Mu to give way."

Qingzhou Pingyuan County, during the first national war, Tian Qi, the lord of Pingyuan County who used to serve under Chutian's Second Army Corps, was already the prime minister of Pingyuan County, and he summoned a guest: "Once Zhao Gongzi is annexed by Chu Zimou, the same is true. Pingyuan County in Qingzhou is not immune, this is a situation where your lips are dead and your teeth are cold. You go and notify Mr. Zhao, and ask Mr. Zhao to come and talk to me. "
