Huangfu Chaobo hasn't considered clearly who to give to the county seat of Xi'anyang, so he didn't say it on the spot. The idea in his mind was to give Lao Du to one of the two of them, or the city to one, and to draw some soldiers from it to the other. After all, the two of them were the first players to follow them, and they knew the bottom line and could still be trusted.

Also, from the bottom of his heart, Huangfu Chaobo still doesn’t want Zhao Zilong’s strength to be too strong, too strong. If the time comes for some reason, Huangfu Chaobo would not want to see it. So he thought So that Lao Du and Xiao Jiejie could contain him to some extent.

In fact, with regard to Xi'anyang, Huangfu Chaobo had long wanted to get rid of this burden. It was a helpless move to occupy Xi'anyang at the beginning, but now he just took this opportunity to get rid of it and transferred Ma Xuan and Hao Jian to Longhua. Nowadays, the Longhua plate is no longer small, but the generals and officials have been insufficient, which restricts his development. It is estimated that Gongsun Zan may not be able to support the current frame for a few years. If you do not prepare early, then the site that has taken so many years to develop will be left to Yuan Shao.

After handling the affairs of Xi'anyang basically, Huangfu Chaobo also breathed a sigh of relief, and now he can finally put his energy back on the war in Huainan.

After a few days of reorganization of the army, General Huang Zhong has arranged all his troops. Anfeng city and Yulou city each arranged a dissatisfied war soldier and a guard soldier to garrison, and the rest of the soldiers and horses began to set off for Lu'an.

On June 15th, the Anton Army began to send troops from Yulou. Nearly 130,000 troops were guarding 20,000 civilian craftsmen. The troops crossed Lu'an County, which is more than 100 miles east of Jueshui Road.

Three days later, the army arrived on the west bank of Tanshui. After crossing Tanshui, they set up a camp at a place close to Tanshui, five miles southwest of Lu'an.

At this time, Lu'an City had already closed its gates long ago, and there were many banners at the head of the city.

At the position of Huangfu Chaobo, the casualties of the soldiers are only a number that he usually sees on the battle report, so he will no longer take care of the specific war arrangements. In addition, Yuzhou has always had a large population and abundant materials, but although the soldiers have a lot of strength, but the combat power is weak, the purpose of Huangfu Chaobo is two, one is to occupy territory, and the other is to train troops.

After handing over the battle to Huang Zhong, Huangfu Chaobo only confessed that he had to train generals in addition to training soldiers, and after that, he said nothing more.

In Lu'an, there are plain terrains in the west, southeast and north, so Huang Zhong arranged for the army to attack from both the east and south at the same time. As for the north, there was no army, which was a way for the defenders to escape.

The attack on the southern city wall was directed by Huang Zhong himself, while the attack on the eastern city wall was handed over to Zhang Yun. On both sides, they arranged five military schools and 20,000 guards, while the remaining soldiers and horses stayed in the large camp, and at the same time prevented possible reinforcements from the south of Yi County. The guards of Huangfu Chaobo were in the center to support the two siege armies.

Lu'an serves as a barrier to the north of the Lujiang Administration, so when the troops were deployed for the last time, Lujiang Prefect Yuan Huan and the defender Qiaoyu did not transfer troops and horses to leave, but added seven thousand defenders and two thousand battles to Lu'an. Soldiers, plus the original 6,000 defenders in Lu'an City, there are a total of 15,000 troops. The one who is in charge of defending is a general under the bridge.

As early as when General Ji Ling was fighting the coalition forces in the area of ​​Yulou, Qiaoge had already led troops into Lu'an, and then he has been leading troops to strengthen the defense of the city. When the Anton Army arrived in Lu'an, Lu'an The defense of the city has improved a lot.

After the Anton Army arrived in Lu'an, they did not do much rest. The next day they launched an offensive against the city of Lu'an, because Huangfu Chaobo had already received the news that Cao Caojun and Sun Quanjun had been injured in the Lujiang battlefield. The offensive against Yuan Shujun soon began, so Huangfu Chaobo must conquer Lujiang as soon as possible, at least the Zhisuoshu County of Lujiang should be captured.

Five days later, the Anton Army finally conquered Lu'an. 15,000 Yuan Shujun suffered more than 8,000 casualties and was captured 5,000. Only less than 2,000 remnants escorted Qiaoge to escape from the north gate. The Anton Army paid 20,000 casualties, of which more than 12,000 were killed in battle, 2,000 were seriously injured, and 6,000 were slightly injured.

Later, Huangfu Chaobo ordered Huang Wudie to lead 10,000 troops to stay behind, and all 8,000 wounded and wounded stayed in Lu'an. The remaining 100,000 troops went south and attacked Shu County. There were more than 4,000 uninjured soldiers among the captured Yuan Shujun who set off with the army.

The army marched along the Dabie Mountains all the way, easily conquering the two counties of Yixian and Longshu, which were only defended by 5,000 men. After 3,000 defenders and wounded soldiers defended the city, the army continued to march towards Shu County.

At the beginning of July, the army finally arrived at Liuli north of Shu County. By this time, the army had only 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 10,000 civilian craftsmen and nearly 10,000 Yuan Shujun prisoners from several cities. Since Lu'an had captured thousands of Yuan Shujun, the dangerous thing of filling in trenches before the war has never been handed over to the military and civilian husbands, but has become something that Yuan Shujun prisoners did.

There is no way, Yuan Shu's forces have not been destroyed yet, and most of these prisoners cannot be surrendered, so these cannon fodder jobs can only be entrusted to them. You know, Huangfu Chaobo still has tens of thousands of Yuan Shujun prisoners in Yuzhou. It is not only the Anton Army that operates in this way, as the princes do today during the war.

As expected by everyone in Huangfu Chaobo, on the third day of the Lu'an war, Sun Ce led an army of 80,000 troops to Tangyi and began to attack the troops of Yuan Si and Liu Xun stationed in Tangyi. Tangyi had a total of 10,000 soldiers and five soldiers. Thousands of guards were stationed, and Sun Ce's 80,000 army took five days to capture them.

Liu Xun was wounded and captured, Yuan Si broke through under the **** of more than three thousand soldiers, and joined Chen Lan's tribe in the East City.

Later, after Sun Cejun rested in Tangyi for two days, he sent troops again, entered Fuling in Jiujiang, and began to attack Fuling and Quanjiao. Among the 80,000 troops, Jiangdong had only 40,000 soldiers, and the remaining four Ten thousand people were recruited from various cities after Sun Ce took over Guangling and selected some of the prisoners.

The two counties of Xuzhou were no better than the two counties of Yangzhou. Yuan Shu controlled the time for too short, and because of the gains from the robbery, both Sun Cejun and Cao Cao's recruitment and surrender of the captives were much smoother than the Anton Army. It's just that the two counties are too close, and Sun Ce's offensive for two consecutive days is unfavorable.

Originally wanted to lure the enemy out of the city, but Yuan Yao and Li Ling were not fooled either life or death. In desperation, at the suggestion of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce left 40,000 troops to guard against Yuan Shujun and personally led the 40,000 troops to bypass Fuling’s offensive calendar. Yang. After intending to conquer Liyang, he directly transferred troops from Jianye to cross the river for reinforcements via Niu Zhu.
