Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System

Yanzhou.

Since Cao Cao swept Qingzhou and recruited more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops to surrender, he returned to Yanzhou to train troops and farm, and tried his best to develop his own power.

The Yellow Turban Army was also formed into an army by Cao Cao, named"Qingzhou Soldiers".

With the increase in military strength, Cao Cao's overall strength also increased rapidly.

But now around Yanzhou, Jizhou has Liu Chen, the king of Changshan, Qingzhou has Liu Bei, Sili Luoyang has Yuan Shao, Yuzhou has Yuan Shu, and Xuzhou has Tao Qian.

It was difficult for Cao Cao's power to expand and develop, and Cao Cao, who had great talents and great vision, also saw the shortcomings of Yanzhou.

If there is a war, we will be attacked from all sides!

The generals and advisers in Cao's camp could not think of a way to solve it for the moment, so they could only develop their own forces and strengthen themselves with peace of mind.

On this day, when they were discussing, the messenger hurriedly came to report:"Report! General, Zhang Yan, leader of the Black Mountain Army, has led an army of more than 200,000 to surrender!""

"What?!"

After Cao Cao was shocked, he was overjoyed.

All the generals and advisors in Cao's camp were also pleasantly surprised.

Naturally, the Black Mountain Army knew that they had united with the Yellow Turban Army to bring trouble to the Han Dynasty. Zhang Yan was also a fierce general!

With Zhang Yan's power, Even if it is possible to form one's own vassal, he did not expect that he would go to Yanzhou to surrender!

Cao Cao and others directly went out more than ten miles to meet Zhang Yan, which made Zhang Yan flattered and a little touched.

"General Zhang! Cao

Cao held Zhang Yan's hand and said with a moved face:"Thank you for your recognition and trust!""

Compared with Yanzhou Cao Jun, the Black Mountain Army was obviously more familiar with the Yellow Turban Army. He did not go to Qingzhou to vote for Liu Bei, but came to Yanzhou to vote for Cao Cao. Cao Cao was also very moved!

Especially when he saw the more than 200,000 people behind Zhang Yan Although the generals are mixed, they are still a powerful fighting force that cannot be underestimated!

If they join Cao's army, Cao Cao is confident that with his ability, he can definitely train them well and strengthen his own power.

By then, even if they are defeated by the surrounding states Surrounded and surrounded by enemies on all sides, Cao Cao was still happy and unafraid!

Zhang Yan felt a little embarrassed. If he hadn't been afraid of Changshan King Liu Chen, he probably wouldn't have come to join Cao Cao.

The two had a deep friendship and communicated for a long time, and they regretted meeting each other so late. , as a confidant. Cao Cao took care of Zhang Yan and other Black Mountain Army officers and men.

He also personally named Zhang Yan the"Zhonglang General" and continued to lead his Black Mountain Army without depriving Zhang Yan of his right to rule! He did not doubt the people he employed and the others he did not trust.

Zhang Yan was a little moved by Cao Cao's approach. After thinking about it, he still handed over his hand and said:"I don't know if the general knows that Changshan Army Liu Chen has returned with his army!"

"What?!"

Cao Cao was shocked again. This was even more shocking than Zhang Yan coming to vote:

"I haven't received any news yet, maybe because of transportation difficulties. King Changshan went on an expedition beyond the Great Wall, and now he has returned in triumph?"

"exactly!"Zhang Yan was in Bingzhou, and he received this information when he was close to the water tower.

The faces of all the generals and advisers in Cao's camp were shocked!

If Cao Cao had no ambitions and King Changshan returned, they would naturally be happy.

Unfortunately, all the generals and advisers were not happy. It can be seen that Cao Cao has the ambition to get involved in the world.

King Changshan of Jizhou, this behemoth, is the powerful enemy they must face in the future!

Amidst the shock of everyone, the messenger came to report again:"Report! General! News came from Youzhou that King Changshan took strong control of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan finally set himself on fire!"

Wow!

The whole audience was in an uproar!

This piece of information contained no important details. But those few sentences revealed news that shocked them!

King Changshan is powerfully controlling Youzhou!

The powerful forces that dominate Youzhou, Gongsun Zan, the governor of Peking who was privately assisted by Yuan Shao, the capital's capital, finally set himself on fire!

This was the best choice to preserve other things when he knew he was outnumbered and had no other choice!

King Changshan was too powerful!

Changshan's army was too terrifying.!

How long have they just come back?!

According to Zhang Yan, in just a few days, he ignored the dust and fatigue on his body and took control of Youzhou!

Gongsun Zan led the white horse Yi Cong, making the foreign races outside the Great Wall frightened by such a powerful enemy. , actually went so far as to set himself on fire!

Cao Cao was horrified!

Advisors Xi Zhicai, Chen Gong, Lu Qian, Yang Xiu and others were horrified!

Generals Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao family generals and others were horrified!

And just now Zhang Yan, who joined in, was also filled with shock!

……

Qingzhou.

After Liu Bei was awarded the title of 'Qingzhou Mu', he immediately rewarded his generals and advisors, and replaced the key areas of Qingzhou's counties and counties with his own troops.

At the same time, the development of Qingzhou will be launched.

After defeating Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, the Yellow Turban Army gained a lot of money, which became the first pot of gold for their development.

What's more, Qingzhou is not considered poor. It relies on the convenience of the Yellow Sea, developed commerce, fishery income, and sea salt income to have enough surplus.

But after harvesting the 'snowflake salt' produced in Jizhou from Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Bei and others really looked down on sea salt.

Sea salt is only formed through drying and other processes. There is no 'filtration and purification method' like Liu Chen's to eliminate impurities in the salt.

These salts can only be regarded as coarse salts. Not only do they contain impurities, but they are also poisonous. If you eat too much, your lifespan will be shortened.

During this time, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to train troops and train the Yellow Turban Army officers and soldiers. Let his subordinates Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other advisers study 'Snowflake Salt'.

The result is naturally nothing!

The Han Dynasty spent hundreds of years and countless manpower and material resources trying to overcome the problem of salt, but in the end they still couldn't reach the level of Jizhou's"snowflake salt".

One can imagine how difficult it is to 'filter and purify' salt.

This is why, when Liu Chen developed the 'snowflake salt', it shocked the whole world!

"Without the unprecedented wisdom of King Changshan, it would be difficult for us to go further! Sun Qian said with some sigh.

Jian Yong also sighed to himself:"The more I understand the development of Jizhou, the more I am amazed by the terrifying talent of King Changshan!""

The two sighed. Liu Bei did not blame them for letting others' ambitions destroy his own prestige. In fact, even Liu Bei admired King Changshan very much! It's a pity that due to a strange combination of circumstances, the two became hostile forces!

"The Han Dynasty has been studying for hundreds of years and still has not solved this problem. You two should not belittle yourselves."Liu Bei comforted his ministers, which moved Sun Qian Jian Yong.

Jian Yong said:"My lord, if you want to get 'snowflake salt', the only way is to get the 'salt making method' from King Changshan!"

"Easier said than done?"Liu Bei shook his head and said:"If I had such a secret technique, I would not share it. Sun

Qian thought deeply for a moment and said:"According to a certain record, when King Changshan got the position of 'Jizhou Mu', he relied on the 'Salt Making Method' in exchange for it."

"But later Dong Zhuo brought trouble to the world, and King Changshan led his army to attack Dong. Everyone forgot about this incident!"

Liu Bei was stunned, and his mind became active!

If he writes a letter to tell Yuan Shao, let him coerce and lure King Changshan. It would be best if he succeeds, and it doesn't hurt if he fails!

‘This plan may work! Liu Bei nodded heartily.

They were talking about King Changshan, whatever he wanted came to him.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals hurriedly came to report:

"Brother! Urgent news came from Youzhou. Liu Chen, the king of Changshan, returned with his army and took strong control of Youzhou. Governor Gongsun... he set himself on fire!"

"What?!"

Liu Bei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other advisers were shocked!

After Liu Bei was shocked, his eyes filled with tears and he cried instantly:"Brother Bogui! Brother Bogui!!!"

As he spoke, Liu Bei almost fainted. Fortunately, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had quick eyes and quick hands and caught Liu Bei, preventing him from getting injured and falling.

"Brother! Your condolences and humiliation!"

"Lord! We know that you and Grand Administrator Gongsun are brothers and sisters, and you must be heartbroken now. You must show your condolences and accept the change!"

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan do have a good friendship. Otherwise, he would not have dared to find Gongsun Zan when he fled Luoyang.

But what really made Liu Bei almost faint was the strong return of Changshan King Liu Chen!

There was a gap between him and Changshan King's forces. , when Lu Bu harmed him, and Xun You helped Lu Bu, it meant that the two of them were irreconcilable.

If King Changshan sent his troops southward and aimed directly at Qingzhou, it would be impossible for them to resist!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked at the generals and advisers, weak He said:"Do you have any good ideas?"

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Hai, Tai Shici and other generals were silent, with shock on their faces. They couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a moment!

Sun Qian cupped his hands and comforted him and said,"Master, don't be too worried. Although our Qingzhou is adjacent to Jizhou, we can't think of a way to deal with it." After all, we are separated by the Yellow River

"The northern soldiers are not good at water warfare, so they can lead their troops to defend the banks of the Yellow River to deal with it!"

"That's right! Jian Yong also said solemnly:"What's more, King Changshan returns triumphantly. The real headache is Luoyang Yuan Shao!""

The first opponent of King Changshan is undoubtedly the Yuan family.

Liu Bei felt a little relieved, but he was still worried and said:"What if, what if I meet with Jizhou soldiers, if I fail, is there a way out?"

Liu Bei promised Yuan Shao at the beginning that if Yuan Shao attacked Jizhou, he would assist him. He had to find a way out.

Now, even Sun Qian, Jian Yong and other advisers fell silent.

Yanzhou has Cao Cao, Xuzhou has Tao Qian, and Jizhou With Changshan King, where else could they go? They couldn't escape across the sea, right?!

……

Si Li Luoyang.

Liu Bei's counselor was right. Yuan Shao, who was far away in Luoyang, was indeed having a huge headache!

When Yuan Shao learned that King Changshan had returned triumphantly, he jumped three feet high, his face turned pale, and he was shocked!

When Yuan Shao learned that Gongsun Zan was defeated and set himself on fire, he became physically and mentally trembling, and fear filled his heart!

Yuan Shao knew he would lose to King Changshan, so he was scared!

"Lords, can we resist Chang Shan's army now?"Yuan Shao asked with a trembling tone.

Many of the advisers and generals below were silent.

Guo Tu raised his hands and said:"My lord, this year we have taken advantage of the Sili Luoyang to recruit soldiers one after another. Together with the original Imperial Guards in Luoyang, the total strength is as high as More than three hundred thousand, should, should be enough, right?"

Everyone was silent.

With more than 300,000 troops, this force is terrifying!

If they didn't rely on Luoyang's political center, military center, and commercial center, they really couldn't afford such a terrifying force!

It's a pity. They are still no match for the Changshan Army.

"According to my guess, the total strength of the Changshan Army today is estimated to be as high as more than 500,000!"

_

"The original total strength of Changshan Army was as high as 200,000. Now King Changshan controls Youzhou and can mobilize 100,000 troops

"This does not include the new troops they recruited within this year! And the troops hidden in the dark!"

It's not just them who are recruiting soldiers, King Changshan's forces are also recruiting new soldiers.

In fact, with the fertile land and output of Jizhou, they can afford to support more soldiers, and they are much richer than them!

Xun Chen is really It's very unpleasant.

When Xun You and Xun Yu called on the Xun family to surrender to King Chang Shan, many Xun family members expressed opposition and should not put their eggs in one basket.

Xun Chen was one of the opponents.

Now.

He regrets it extremely!

Xun Chen's analysis The explanation made everyone silent again!

In fact, there is a more important point that Xun Chen did not mention - the Changshan Army not only has a strength of about 500,000, but their officers and soldiers are also one against three or one against five.!

Converted into combat power, this is a force of more than two million!

"hateful!"

Yuan Shao said angrily:"Damn the Xiongnu Xianbei, why are you such a waste and don't you delay King Changshan for another year and a half?!

"If you give me another year and a half, I will definitely be able to grow our military strength to more than half a million!

"And the abominable Gongsun Zan! What are you doing to set yourself on fire? Really greedy for life and afraid of death!

"If he had been able to hold back King Changshan in Youzhou, the troops King Changshan could mobilize would definitely not be so terrifying!

"Damn it! Time waits not for us!"

Yuan Shao was furious, and all the generals and advisors sighed in silence!

After a long time, Xu You raised his hands and said,"Maybe there is no need to worry so much at the beginning!

"Our army has 300,000 troops, plus Liu Bei's 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in Qingzhou, and Cao Cao's more than 100,000 troops in Yanzhou. The total military strength is comparable to that of King Changshan! Yuan

Shao felt relieved after hearing this!

The senior official raised his hands and said:"General, not long ago, intelligence came from Yanzhou. Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, led an army of more than 200,000 to surrender to Cao Cao!""

"This happened!"Yuan Shao was shocked. He cursed in his heart: 'This damn Zhang Yan, he ran to join Cao Cao and didn't come to join me?' The generals, advisors and ministers below started talking about it.

Xu You felt more at ease, stroking his beard and said:"This is the case. Come, our friendly forces have reached more than 800,000!

Cui Yan suggested:"My lord, near Yuzhou, the land is fertile, the population is large, and there is sufficient food and grass." The governor of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu, developed rapidly by taking advantage of Yuzhou and Nanyang.

"With more soldiers and more generals and more food, the total strength of our army is close to more than 200,000. If he can be given a helping hand, our total strength will reach over one million!

"Even if Changshan's army has a large number of soldiers, as long as we use our strategy properly and our troops are fast, we will not be able to defeat Changshan's army with multiple troops!"

Everyone whispered to each other, but they gradually calmed down from the initial panic.

There was no way, the starting point of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family was too high, and their influence was too strong. The big families almost followed the Yuan family.

After a rough calculation, the alliance There are so many troops, and the Changshan Army is completely worthy of it!

Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly, but after hearing"Yuan Shu", he frowned slightly. The two brothers were in the same situation.

"My lord, at this critical moment, I think Yuan Shu, the governor, should know the truth of the death of lips and teeth, the death of rabbits and the sorrow of foxes!"

What the counselor said made Yuan Shao nod:"In this case, you can send your capable generals to discuss with them separately, and make early preparations to avoid accidents!"

"Subordinates obey!"

……

Liu Chen just led his troops back and shocked all the forces in the world!

These forces are all overlords who control a state. Stamping their feet is enough to shock a big man! pity.

Facing the forces of the Changshan Army in Jizhou, everyone was like ants on a hot pot, trembling and panicking, fearing that it would harm them and avoiding them!

Liu Chen didn't care at all about these people's fear!

After leaving Youzhou, Liu Chen led his army back to Jizhou and took the lead in entering Zhongshan County in Jizhou.
