The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Because Xu Huang, Guan Hai, and He Man were sent to attack Xianbei and Wuhuan respectively, they slaughtered tens of thousands of people and harvested cattle, sheep, horses, women, and weapons.

The troops and horses sent by the Xianbei and Wuhuan ministries to Youbeiping withdrew from Youbeiping overnight.

Gongsun Zan's pressure suddenly eased.

At this time, Zhou Cheng sent Wen Sheng into Wuyuan City to contact Gongsun Zan.

Regarding the envoy sent by Zhou Cheng, Gongsun Yue wanted to kill him directly.

However, Gongsun Zan was not stupid. He knew that Wuhuan and Xianbei would not retreat without reason.

It must have been something major happening to the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes that forced the Wuhuan cavalry and Xianbei cavalry to withdraw.

Near Youzhou, the only one who could pose a threat to Xianbei and Wuhuan was Zhou Cheng.

Wen Sheng entered the prefect's mansion and saw Gongsun Zan. He said to Gongsun Zan:"Ming Gong is so brave that he resisted Liu Bo'an with his own army. My lord admires him.""

"snort. Gongsun Zan snorted coldly and said,"If Zhou Cheng hadn't sent troops to force Wuhuan and Xianbei back, Gongsun Bogui would not have been able to defend Wugen City.""

"Ming Gong is too modest. Wen Sheng replied:"Although my lord marched in three directions and attacked the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes, Wuyuan is not a big city. The fact that Ming Gong can hold it alone shows that Ming Gong is brave."

Gongsun Zan didn't want to listen to Wen Sheng's flattery, so he asked,"What's the matter with your lord?"

Wen Sheng said:"Ming Gong, Liu Bo'an's grain and grass are currently stored thirty miles south of Wuyuan City. If Ming Gong can burn Liu Bo'an's grain and grass, Liu Bo'an will be defeated.""

"Um."Gongsun Zan nodded. He did not doubt that Zhou Cheng would lie to him.

If Zhou Cheng wanted to help Liu Yu harm him, there was no need to attack Wuhuan and Xianbei.

"My mission is accomplished, I'll take my leave now. Wen

Sheng saluted and then left.

Gongsun Yue was confused and said,"What does Zhou Cheng mean by this move?""

Gongsun Yue didn't understand it at all.

Like he invited Gongsun Zan to send troops to Yuyang, and then secretly reached an agreement with Liu Yu, and now he comes to help Gongsun Zan deal with Liu Yu?

Gongsun Zan said coldly:"Zhou Cheng wants me and Liu Bo'an to continue If the fight continues, he will reap the benefits."

Being able to become a prince, Gongsun Zan is definitely not a reckless man. He has already understood the current situation, and Zhou Cheng's intention is also obvious.

However, he knew that Zhou Cheng deliberately provoked the war in Youzhou and let Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu fight.

But there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so it is impossible for Gongsun Zan to negotiate peace with Liu Yu.

Once the war begins, it will be a life-and-death situation.

Gongsun Yue gritted his teeth and said with anger,"This thief is really cunning, I swear to kill him!"

Gongsun Zan said:"Now we still need to use his strength to resist Liu Bo'an.""

……

In September 191 AD, Zhou Cheng led 30,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry to go south again.

This time, Zhou Cheng went to clear the one-mile road.

Due to the confrontation between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, it was impossible for Liu Yu to divide his troops to attack Zhou Cheng.

At the same time, Liu Yu also ordered counties and counties to defend the city and not to fight easily.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng easily passed through Youzhou and entered Jizhou.

After entering Jizhou, Han Fu did not dare to embarrass Zhou Cheng, and Yuan Shao was unwilling to start a war with Zhou Cheng. Therefore, Zhou Cheng's advance went smoothly.

From Hejian County to Qinghe County, and then from Qinghe County, they thought about marching to the southeast, and finally entered Qingzhou and arrived at Pingyuan County.

Pingyuan County is Pingyuan County, which governs ten counties including Pingyuan, Gaotang, Zhua, Luoyin, Ande, Liguo, Xipingchang, Banxian, Leling and Yanci.

Originally, Liu Bei was supposed to be the commander of Pingyuan, but now he is temporarily staying in Liu Yu's army.

The current name of Pingyuan is Gaodeng.

However, as soon as Zhou Cheng's troops entered Pingyuan County, Gao Deng fled with his family and the soldiers and horses in the city.

However, it is not difficult to understand.

The number of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou is the highest among the thirteen states. There are not many troops and horses in each county in Qingzhou, and due to drought, there is a shortage of food in every county.

I want to recruit brave warriors from the countryside to fight, but there is not enough food.

Therefore, he simply abandoned the city and fled.

In this troubled world, what is more important than survival?

……

Dusk falls.

Zhou Cheng pulled the reins, prompting Mo Kuang to stop.

Hiss...

Mo Kuang snorted after hissing.

Zhou Cheng took out some wheat cakes from the bag and brought them to Mo Kuang's mouth.

After feeding Mo Kuang, Zhou Cheng ordered the entire army to stop and camp.

Zhou Cheng and Jia Xu dismounted their horses at the same time.

This journey south completely illustrates the concept of"conquering the enemy without fighting".

Because of division and provocation, civil strife in Qingzhou and Jizhou was triggered.

Zhou Cheng's route south was almost unhindered.

At this time, Zhou Cheng shouted without looking back:"Xu Fang."

Xu Fang came behind Zhou Cheng and said:"My lord, what are your orders?"

Zhou Cheng said:"Send someone to Taishi Mansion, Huang County, Donglai, with The carriage picks up the people in the mansion. They need good care and cannot be neglected."

"Here."Xu Fang accepted the order and immediately settled down to do the work.

Jia Xu asked curiously:"My lord, what does this mean?

Zhou Cheng replied:"I once heard the name of Ziyi, the Taishi of Huang County, Donglai. Now that he has arrived in Qingzhou, I sent someone to invite his mother.""

"I see."Jia Xu didn't know where Zhou Cheng heard it from, but Zhou Cheng knew how to recognize people, so Jia Xu didn't need to worry about it.

And the people who could be favored by Zhou Cheng must be not only talented people, but also warriors.

It's just that Are you really doing this to 'invite' someone?

It's more like robbing someone!

Of course, Jia Xu knows Zhou Cheng's character and can't persuade him.
