The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

The reports from Zhang He and Taishi Ci arrived in Jincheng one after another.

After reading it, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but frown.

During the rainy season, the mountain roads are difficult to travel, and Han Sui and the Qiang people have learned to be smart.

They were unwilling to fight the Zhou army head-on, and planned to use a war of attrition to make the Zhou army retreat.

At this time, Jia Xu said:"Duan Qiang fought with the Qiang people for 180 times, killing nearly 40,000 people, and finally pacified the Western Qiang and defeated the Eastern Qiang. If my lord wants to destroy the Qiang in a short time, There are indeed some difficulties."

The army commanding abilities of Taishi Ci, Zhang He and Zhao Yun have all been tested in actual combat.

The three of them were victorious in every battle.

It's just that the enemy is not a single-minded idiot.

If you continue to fight if you can't beat him, that's seeking death.

Zhou Cheng said:"If it's on the grassland, defeat it with one drum."

From outside the Great Wall to Hebei, and then to the Central Plains, he moved to Liangzhou.

On the contrary, it is easiest to fight outside the Great Wall.

As long as the soldiers are not afraid of death and the generals dare to charge forward, half the battle is won.

But the war in Liangzhou was not as easy as Zhou Cheng imagined.

……

Zhou Cheng temporarily shifted his attention to Liangzhou and immigrated to Liangzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou and other places.

The action was so big that the princes of the Central Plains felt temporarily at ease.

Especially Cao Cao.

He is most afraid of Zhou Cheng going south now.

If Zhou Cheng suddenly went south, his situation would be terrible.

However, if Zhou Cheng did not go south, then Cao Cao could attack Yuzhou, recapture Yanzhou, then fight for Xuzhou, and plot Yangzhou and Jingzhou.

The number of civil servants and generals who have defected to Cao Cao in recent days is also gradually increasing.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's defeat and Yuan Shu's previous disobedience caused many wealthy families in Yangzhou to come into contact with Cao Cao.

Therefore, Cao Cao currently has no shortage of people under his command, and he needs to continue to expand his territory.

Cao Cao was also decisive.

April, 199 AD.

While Zhou Cheng was busy conquering Liangzhou, Cao Cao first reported to the court and attacked Yuan Shu on the grounds of Yuan Shu's rebellion.

Immediately, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead the army and take the lead in attacking Runan County.

Later, Cao Xiu and Cao Ren were sent, each with 10,000 troops and horses, to attack Runan County separately.

Runan County is also a large county, with a total of thirty cities.

The most important thing is the base camp of the Yuan family in Runan County.

Moreover, it seems that there are not many troops and horses attacking Yuzhou.

However, Yuan Shu was faced with Sun Jian and his son's encroachment head-on, and Cao Cao's encroachment behind his back, so he was in a very bad situation.

And Cao Cao also learned his lesson.

In the past, I was betrayed by a wealthy family in Yanzhou.

This made Cao Cao understand one thing. If he wants to dominate the world, he must consolidate his territory.

Zhou Cheng had so many troops, so it was best to stabilize the north first instead of rushing south. This is the best proof.

Occupy a territory, and then eliminate the resistance forces in the territory, making it a stable rear area that can continuously produce people and military supplies.

However, Cao Cao ignored one thing, and that was Liu Biao.

Liu Biao, a wolf in sheep's clothing, was ready to take back Wancheng and regain absolute control of Nanyang after acquiring five thousand war horses.

Nanyang has a population of one million.

The population of a county is even comparable to the population of a state.

Liu Biao's timing and reasons for sending troops were both 'perfect'.

When Xia Houyuan occupied Shangcai, Aoyang, Wufang and Xiping counties, Liu Biao sent General Wenpin to lead 50,000 troops to Nanyang.

Wenpin was originally responsible for guarding Jingbei and preventing the northern princes from going south.

At this time, Liu Biao specially sent five thousand newly formed cavalry in order to allow Wenpin to take back Nanyang smoothly.

Cao Cao came to Liu Biao because he had nowhere to go and no place to live.

Now that Cao Cao has occupied many cities in Runan, it is time to return Wancheng to Liu Biao.

Of course, if Cao Cao is unwilling to pay back, don't blame Liu Biao for being rude.

Liu Biao seemed to be polite first and then use force.

However, in Cao Cao's eyes, Liu Biao was crossing the river and burning bridges.

Although Cao Cao did plot Liu Biao's Jingzhou, the Nanyang clan thieves were only able to be successfully wiped out with Cao Cao's help.

Now that the clan thief is gone, Liu Biao wants to return to Wancheng?

How can there be such a good thing in the world!

Moreover, Cao Cao would not really give in to Wancheng.

If we can get Nanyang and Runan, our strength will be greatly increased.

Therefore, Cao Cao personally led Xiahou Dun and others to fight against Wenpin.

May 199 AD.

Yuan Shu, who had retreated to Shouchun City, was furious when he heard that Cao Cao had attacked Runan.

He mobilized Chen Lan, Liu Xun and other generals to attack Cao Cao's troops in three groups.

However, when Chen Lan attacked Shangcai, he was surprised and killed by Xiahou Yuan's army.

Liu Xun was ambushed by Cao Ren when he was rushing to aid Pingyu City and was defeated by Cao Ren.

Since Yuan Jun was defeated by Sun Jian and his son, they have been defeated again and again, and their morale is low.

All captured Yuan troops surrendered to Cao Cao.

Cao Ren sent people to bring the surrendered troops back to Wancheng to support Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao received the support of nearly 30,000 troops and horses, his strength increased greatly, and he went to war with Liu Biao.

Liu Biao also hurriedly mobilized 30,000 troops from Huang Zu to reinforce Wenpin.

The battle between Cao Liu and Jingzhou officially begins!
