The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

War is an extension of politics, and the vertical and horizontal approach during the Warring States Period is a typical example.

Wen Sheng sent Liu Yu as an envoy. Under pressure, Liu Yu finally agreed to Zhou Cheng's request and agreed to let the Qingzhou Yellow Turban pass through Youzhou.

At this time, Zhou Cheng’s camp.

In the camp, Wen Sheng just described the process of this mission.

Zhou Cheng looked at Jia Xu and said,"Teacher, I finally know why Xiang Yu was defeated."

Domineering is not useless.

However, to conquer the world, dominance alone is not enough.

Because although domineering can determine the outcome of a battle, the world is too big and one person's courage is too small in comparison.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with satisfaction:"In ancient times, those who made good use of the world must measure the power of the world and understand the feelings of the princes. If the lord can understand this principle, great things can be expected."

These words came from Guiguzi.

It means: Those who want to achieve hegemony must mobilize resources from all parties and must first understand the situation and the situation of all parties.

This is the prerequisite for strategizing and winning a thousand miles.

Zhou Cheng stood up, saluted and said:"Teacher, if I want to conquer the world, I need to rely on the teacher's ability. If the teacher has teachings, there is no need to worry about his famous words."

Jia Xu immediately stood up to return the salute, bowed and said,"When Try your best to repay the Lord for his kindness."

……

After Zhou Cheng and Liu Yu secretly reached an agreement, they led their troops and horses to withdraw from Zhuojun.

However, the troops and horses in Shanggu County were not withdrawn.

Zhou Cheng's army in Shanggu County was like a thorn in Liu Yu's back.

However, Liu Yu was unable to clean it up for the time being.

What's more, Gongsun Zan is still in Yuyang, and Gongsun Zan must be driven back.

In June 191 AD, Liu Yu led his army from Zhuojun into Yuyang, joined the troops and horses from Guangyang and Yuyang, and went to war with Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan had few soldiers and was obviously no match for Liu Yu, so he chose to defend the city.

At the same time, Gongsun Zan immediately sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to Shanggu County, asking Zhou Cheng to invade Zhuo County and flank Liu Yu.

Gongsun Yue arrived at Juyang and met Han Xian.

After Gongsun Yue saw Han Xian, he bluntly stated his intention.

However, Han Xian replied:"My lord has led his army back outside the fortress, and we have been ordered to guard Shanggu. We dare not leave the city without permission without military orders.""

"How dare you deceive my brother!"Gongsun Yue became anxious after hearing this. It was Zhou Cheng who originally sent people to invite Gongsun Zan to attack Liu Yu.

Now after Zhou Cheng occupied Shanggu, he withdrew his troops?

And after Zhou Cheng withdrew his troops, Liu Yu immediately led his troops to counterattack Yuyang.

This was obviously a negotiation. Okay!

Han Xian drew his sword, and a large number of troops and horses poured out of the court hall, surrounding Gongsun Yue.

Han Xian asked:"My lord invited your brother to send troops to Yuyang, and everyone will take their own land. Now my lord has occupied it." Shanggu, you are still not satisfied with taking control of Yuyang?"

Gongsun Yue suppressed his anger, held down the sword at his waist, turned around and left.

……

July 191 AD.

In Yuyang County, in addition to Yuyang, Guangping, and Xixi, Anle, Hunu, Pinggu, Luxian, Yongnu and other counties were all recaptured by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu asked Tadun to recruit more Wuhuan cavalry and promised heavy profits.

Liu Yu also asked Fu Luohan and Bu Dugen to send envoys to the central Xianbei and the eastern Xianbei tribes to ask the Xianbei tribes to send troops.

At the same time, Liu Yu asked Xian Yufu to continue recruiting troops in various counties.

Liu Yu's reputation in Youzhou was extremely high, but Gongsun Zan was a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, so they were willing to send troops to help Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's military strength soon reached three times that of Gongsun Zan.

Moreover, the aristocratic families and wealthy families in Yuyang City seemed to be secretly colluding with Liu Yu.

Gongsun Zan's situation became more and more difficult, and he had to abandon Yuyang and retreat to Youbeiping.

However, Liu Yu ordered Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Yan Rou, Bu Dugen, Fu Luohan, and Tadun to continue their march.

I plan to take this opportunity to completely eradicate Gongsun Zan.

……

In August 191 AD, Gongsun Zan retreated to Tuyin City.

Tuyin City is the county seat of Youbeiping County.

Gongsun Zan had a very high reputation in Youbeiping, Liaoxi and Liaodong areas, and the local aristocratic families and wealthy families had been invaded by Xianbei and Wuhuan, so they all supported Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan finally blocked Liu Yu's army in Wuyuan.

But Liu Yu was not in a hurry to besiege the city, but sent out troops and horses separately.

Budugen's attack is endless, Fuluohan attacks Xuwu, and Tadun attacks Junmi.

The entire Youbeiping was in flames of war.

In less than half a month, Wu Zhong, Xu Wu, and Jun Mi were captured one after another.

The Xianbei and Wuhuan people were killing, burning, and looting everywhere, and Youbeiping County was in mourning.

Gongsun Zan is guarding Wuyuan City, and he has asked Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, for help.

Although both had the surname Gongsun, Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du, Gongsun Zan was born in western Liaoning and Gongsun Du was born in eastern Liaoning, so they were not direct relatives.

Gongsun Du had long thought of being independent, so he didn't want to get into trouble.

Gongsun Zan was trapped in Wugen City. He had no reinforcements and could only hold on.

……

September 191 AD.

Huangfu Song has been attacking Hangu Pass for several months, but Hangu Pass is still strong.

Including Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and other princes who were reinforcing Huangfu Song, they did not have confidence in conquering Hangu Pass.

There were even princes who led their troops and horses to leave quietly.

The morale of Huangfu Song's army and horses was low.

Although thousands of miles apart, Zhou Cheng also knew about the battle at Hangu Pass.

Every day, the scouts of the Qingqi Battalion would report information from various states and counties back to the camp.

Of course, the one that worries Zhou Cheng the most right now is Gongsun Zan.

Zhou Cheng said:"I am determined to send troops to Wuhuan and attack the Xianbei tribes in western and eastern Liaoning at the same time to relieve Gongsun Zan."

Jia Xu said:"My lord is wise. If Gongsun Bogui perishes, Liu Bo'an will definitely not abide by the agreement."

Zhou Cheng Shouted:"Gongming."

Xu Huang stood up.

Zhou Cheng said:"I order you to lead the bandit camp, recruit 5,000 Qianman cavalry, and Rouran 5,000 cavalry to conquer Xianbei, Liaodong.""

"Here."Xu Huang replied.

Zhou Cheng said:"Guan Hai, I order you to lead 5,000 tigers and benians, and then recruit 5,000 cavalry from the Qianman tribe and 5,000 cavalry from Rouran to conquer Xianbei in western Liaoning."

"Here."Guan Hai stood up.

Later, Zhou Cheng asked He Man and Tian Chou to lead the army to conquer Wuhuan again.
