The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Shouchun City is just the scenery on the surface.

Although Yuan Shu made the streets more tidy and clean, the market was not lively at all.

Yuan Shu was very greedy, and the generals under Yuan Shu were also greedy in their work.

The targets of exploitation are always civilians.

Therefore, in the rebuilt Shouchun City, civilians made a living by digging wild vegetables out of the city.

And the children in the city, barefoot and wearing thin clothes, begged in front of the big gates.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

When Wen Sheng saw this situation, he couldn't help but sigh:"The wealthy families in the world are all maggots in the tarsus, eating the essence and blood of the people."

Wen Sheng was indeed born in the Wen family in Qi County, Taiyuan, and the Wen family was also a wealthy family.

In terms of blood relationship, Wen Sheng is still Wen Hui's uncle.

Historically, Wen Hui was one of Cao Cao's important ministers, assisting Cao Cao and Cao Pi successively.

However, Wen Sheng's mother came from a humble background. Therefore, Wen Sheng left home and traveled abroad before he was weak.

Therefore, Wen Sheng knew all about the ugliness inside the wealthy family.

At this time, a scribe said to Wen Sheng:"Sir, the gifts are ready."

Wen Sheng nodded, then got in the car and went to visit Yang Hong.

Encouraging Yuan Shu to send troops to Yanzhou was not only to make Liu Bei and others have no time to take care of themselves.

At the same time, it also provoked war in the Central Plains and even the south.

In Zhou Cheng's eyes, the source of the unrest in the south lies with Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Shu is indeed the hero, then all the princes will not dare to act rashly.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu is not.

Even Sun Ce, who only had tens of thousands of troops and horses, did not take Yuan Shu seriously.

As the lord of Jingzhou, could Liu Biao really be afraid of Yuan Shu?

What's more, there is also a very ambitious Cao Cao.

Therefore, the situation of returning the Central Plains to the South is a matter of affecting the whole body.

Although Yuan Shu has a large territory, it is difficult to digest.

Under Yuan Shu's governance, the people lived in poverty and were bound to flee in all directions. Without enough people, it was impossible to convert land resources into money and food.

Without enough money and food, the army and horses will not be elite enough.

This is a chain within a chain.

In the final analysis, whether the army is strong or not is based on the economy, and population determines the economy.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were the same. In the early stage, they relied on the Three Dukes of the World and had the advantage of having disciples and old officials all over the world. They only needed the support of the noble families to dominate one side, and the noble families could provide population, armor, weapons, money and food.

However, in the later period, with wars, famine, and land changes, Yuan Shu began to rest on his laurels.

Sitting in vain is the beginning of defeat

……

Wen Sheng successively visited Yang Hong and others, successfully lobbied Yang Hong, and persuaded Yuan Shu to send troops to Yanzhou.

April, 198 AD.

Yuan Shu raised 50,000 troops, with Chen Lan and Liu Xun as generals, to attack Yanzhou.

At this time, Yanzhou had been attacked by Duan Xuan and Xu Rong, and was attacked by Yuan Shu.

The pressure on Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others doubled. Liu Bei adopted Chen Gong's suggestion and immediately mobilized Zang Ba and led 10,000 troops to fight.

Zang Ba was a fierce general under Tao Qian who historically helped Lu Bu fight against Cao Cao.

After Tao Qian's death, Zang Ba led his army to join Liu Bei and help Liu Bei fight against Yuan Shu.

However, Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son sacrificed the city, causing Zang Ba to lose support from the rear and be defeated by Ji Ling.

Facing Liu Xun and Chen Lan's army, although Zang Ba had 10,000 troops and horses, half of these 10,000 people were young and strong recruits, and the remaining half consisted of 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, with less than County soldiers.

With this weak army and horse, how can it be the opponent of Chen Lan and Liu Xun.

In April 198 AD, Chen Lan and Liu Xun captured the city and defeated Zang Ba.

Zang Ba fled back to Puyang with hundreds of remaining soldiers.

Yuan Shu was even more proud.

Yuan Shu at this time can only be described as"satisfied".

He used troops in Xuzhou to defeat Liu Bei and suppress Sun Jian and his son.

At the same time, Liu Bei was defeated again in Yanzhou.

According to Chen Lan and Liu Xun's advance speed, it is only a matter of time before Yanzhou is captured.

However, just when Yuan Shu was immersed in the fantasy of conquering the four states of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou and establishing the Central Plains, Cao Cao sent troops from Wancheng to attack Yuzhou.

……

Town Liaocheng.

Recently, on the official road, there will be fast horses galloping back every once in a while.

The scouts on horseback arrived outside Da Sima's mansion, and they all collapsed from exhaustion.

Battle reports and military information from Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou will be reported to Zhou Cheng as quickly as possible.

Only then did Guo Jia understand why Zhou Cheng and others were invincible and invincible.

Zhou Cheng's intelligence system and mastery of intelligence far exceeded the understanding of this era.

After Zhou Cheng read the battle report, he handed it to Jia Xu and others for circulation.

Cao Cao sent troops to Wancheng and advanced very quickly.

After reading it, Guo Jia couldn't help but chuckled and said:"It must be Xun Gongda's plan. He first led Yuan Gongdao to make enemies with Liu Jingsheng, and then took the opportunity to plot Nanyang."

Guo Jia had contact with both Xun Yu and Xun You.

I heard that Xun You is now Cao Cao's mastermind, and Xun You's plan is not only flexible, but also has a greater military intention behind the surface.

Now Cao Jun's march route is to attract Yuan Shu to march into Nanyang.

It seems to be luring a wolf into the house, but in fact it is driving the wolf away and devouring the tiger, and killing someone with a borrowed knife.
