After the two sides reached an agreement, Ji Ling, a general under Yuan Shu, led 20,000 troops from Pingyu to Runan County.

At the end of October, Yuan Shu "defeated" Cao Cao at Long Kang. Cao Cao led 4,000 "remnants" to escape to Xia Pi State. Ji Ling chased and killed him all the way behind, defeating Long Kang, Xiang County, Guyang, Qing County, and Hong County. Until Cao Cao escaped into Xia Pi State in Xuzhou, Ji Ling returned to Runan with 20,000 troops, more than 100,000 stones of grain...

When Zhu Jun learned the news, Ji Ling had already chased Cao Cao's butt to Hong County. Liu Yao, Zhu Jun was shocked and angry, and quickly sent the general Lu Bu and Taishi Ci to rescue him. Before he could reach the ground, Ji Ling ran back to Runan County with his capture...

The straight line distance from Longkang to Hong County is only 200 miles, while from Longkang to Xiang County is 300 miles. Even if you ask for help from Longkang to Xiang County, Liu Yao and Zhu Jun will take more than ten days to prepare.

Ji Ling had 20,000 soldiers and horses, Zhu Jun had 2,000 soldiers and horses from Liu Bei, 3,000 Sun Ce, 3,000 Lu Bu, and 15,000 soldiers and horses from Zhang Miao. The two sides had equal strengths, but Pei and Liang were adjacent to each other, and there were Dong Yue and Fan Chou's 10,000 soldiers and horses in the territory of Liang.

The territory of Pei State is like a letter "y", and Liang State is inside two branches. And at the north end of the branch on the right side of y is Shanyang County and Rencheng State in Yanzhou. Therefore, the two branches on the left and right side of y must be stationed, and the heavy troops must be stationed in Fengxian, Peixian and Zhuqiu County on the right side of y.

Guo Si led 10,000 troops to station the Rencheng Kingdom, and Hu San led 15,000 troops to station in Changyi City, Shanyang County. The two of them had a total of 25,000 troops and horses, and they could enter south from the northernmost end of Pei Kingdom.

At the same time, the troops of Liang State can also directly cut off Fengxian and Peixian's retreat route to the east. Therefore, Zhuqiu County, a hundred miles south of Fengxian, must also station troops to prevent the troops of Liang State from cutting off Fengxian and Peixian's retreat route, and at the same time, it is necessary to prevent the troops of Liang State from detouring from the eastern front into Xiangxian.

The right branch of Pei State "y" must be stationed in Fengxian, Peixian and Zhuqiu County, and the left branch must be stationed in Taiqiu County, but Xiangxian must have 5,000 permanent troops, because Xiangxian is too close to Dang County, which belongs to Liang State, and the straight-line distance between the two counties is only fifty miles, and the five thousand northern camps of Dong Yue are stationed in Dang County.

According to the practice of "surrounding one after ten, attacking one after five", three major cities on the northern line of Xiang County, namely Fengxian, Peixian and Zhuqiu County, must have at least 10,000 soldiers and horses. If there are not so many soldiers and horses, it is impossible to just hold on to the city. Taiqiu County on the western front can be fewer soldiers and horses. After all, Dang County is too close to Xiangxian. If Taiqiu County on the western front is in danger, Zhu Jun can launch a strong attack from Xiangxian against Dong Yue stationed in Dang County, but this is just a defense of Pei State. What about Chen State? The pressure of Chen State is no less than that of Pei State. Chen State needs to face the siege of Liang State, Chenliu, and Yingchuan State.

Zhu Jun only has more than 20,000 troops in his hands. The three cities on the north side must have 10,000 troops and horses, and the western side of Taiqiu County, and the remaining troops are all in Xiang County, with only 10,000 troops. Ji Ling and Cao Cao fought in several counties in the southern part of Pei State. Could Zhu Jun want to withdraw all the troops and horses of Xiang County?

Zhu Jun is a veteran, so naturally it is impossible to sit and watch Dong Yue, who is fifty miles away, threaten Xiangxian County, and can only draw 5,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters. Fortunately, Dong Hu has not returned to Changyi yet, and the pressure on him is not so great. He can also draw some from the northern line, gathering 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill Ji Ling. But at this time Ji Ling had already run back to Jiyin County. After the news came to Xiangxian County, Liu Yao and Zhu Jun were both angry and worried.

Pei State must have 20,000 to 30,000 troops to defend the Yanzhou Liangzhou army, and Chen State must also have 20,000 to 30,000 troops to resist the invasion of Yingchuan, Chenliu, and Liang State, but Zhu Jun only has 20,000 to 30,000 troops. If he fights Yuan Shu again, don’t fight this battle, hurry up and take a shower and go to bed.

Sun Ce and Lu Bu each had three thousand soldiers and horses. Their food was supplied by Yuan Shu and Tao Qian. Liu Bei's two thousand soldiers and horses were "borrowed" by Nanyang County. Zhang Miao's food was also borrowed, and it was the usury grain borrowed by the princess Liu Yan. If they were not repaid next year, Yuzhou would use Chen State to pay off the debt.

If you borrow 300,000 s of grain, you will pay back 900,000 s of grain next year. If you don’t pay it back, the 110,000 households in the nine cities of Chen will be gone. Anyway, Dong Hu thought Liu Yao would definitely pay it back, but now Yuan Shu is making trouble behind it. Ji Ling even robs the grain of the five counties in the southern part of Pei State, and the five counties will definitely be hungry. If you don’t help, you will have even less grain to pay off your debts next year.

Without mentioning these, what if Yuan Shu continued to plunder? A group of people scratched their heads, silently...

"General."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Lu Bu who was standing up with cold faces, and saw him clasping his fists heavily.

"Although Yuan Shu has many soldiers, he is vulnerable. If the general and the last general increase their troops by 5,000, the last general is willing to take down Runan County!"

Everyone frowned, and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei stared at him unconvincedly.

"Five thousand?"

"Give me three thousand!"

"Give me another three thousand soldiers and I'll take Yuan Shu's bird head!"

Lu Bu was instantly picked up his anger, stood up and pointed his gloomy face at the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang.

"I will add three thousand to you. Do you want to take Yuan Shu's head? Liu Xuande, do you dare to issue a military order? I don't have many soldiers and horses, but there are still three thousand!"

"Three surnames..."

"Shut up, brother!"

Zhang Fei was furious immediately and pointed at Lu Bu and was about to curse "three-family slaves" or something. Liu Bei was shocked and hurriedly pulled him. He was about to explain to Lu Bu, but he saw Lu Bu suddenly swaying his sleeves, ignoring whether Zhu Jun liked it or not, and left, and the generals also left the hall with gloomy faces...

Zhang Miao frowned and looked at Liu, Guan and Zhang, and especially Zhang Fei. This guy was either against Lu Bu or was sarcastic to himself.

Zhang Fei has a clear distinction between love and hate. Generally speaking, as long as he bows his head and admits his mistake, he will no longer be troubled by others. But if someone of his strength offends him, it will be a different person, just like Dong Hu throws him. After that, anyone who has any relationship with Dong Hu will be disgusted by him. Zhang Miao has now defected to the name of Princess Liu Yan, and Liu Yan has a good relationship with Dong Hu again...

Liu Bei and Guan Yu knew why Zhang Fei didn't like Zhang Miao, but Zhang Miao himself didn't know the reason. He was a famous scholar in Yanzhou. He was caught by Dong Hu. He was scolded as a grandson in person and did not dare to say anything. Who made him a prisoner? The whole family was caught? Moreover, Dong Hu became famous in his early years, and he would not talk about fighting on the battlefield, but his academic performance was not bad. Just one "mathematics" was at the royal level.

Dong Hu sells mutton soup and has his own mutton shop. Others always despise them and always speak mutton children. But everyone knows that Dong Hu is not bad at all knowledge. Even if Zhang Miao is scolded, he dare not say anything more, but Zhang Fei is different. He is completely vulgar.

Zhang Miao didn't like the rude Zhang Fei, but when he saw that today's military discussion could not continue because of Zhang Fei, he felt a little annoyed...

"snort!"

"Liu Xuande, if you want to come to discuss matters next time, then come alone. If you don't want to come, you can stop coming."

Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed. Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to point at Zhang Miao and curse. Guan Yu hurriedly pulled him away. At this moment, Liu Yao hurriedly started to plead with mercy.

"General Zhang speaks out loud, but he has no malice in his heart. He is also at the moment of a great enemy. We should work together..."

Zhang Miao looked at Liu Yao who was extorting, and knew that Liu Biao recommended Liu Yao as the governor of Yuzhou in the court and Liu Bei as the general of the Northern Central Army. He knew that the Han Dynasty wanted to reuse the Liu clan's surname, but...

"What Liu Zhoumu said is that I also know that General Zhang has no malice, but I will not come to the military for discussion next time."

"It's like this every time. The general left before a quarter of an hour. It would be better to take care of each person!"

As he said that, Zhang Miao was about to leave angrily. Liu Yao and Zhu Jun's expression suddenly changed. Liu Yao, the prince of Pei State, was shocked. Before others could speak to dissuade him, he hurriedly grabbed Zhang Miao's arm, and the small bit in front of him was knocked to the ground.

"Meng Zhuo, what are you doing? Why are you so angry for a villain?"

After saying that, Liu Yao looked at Liu Bei with anger again.

"Liu Bei, if you bring people who always disturb the matter, you will stay in the camp next time and wait for us to wait for the military order!"

Liu Bei's cheeks flushed. Zhang Fei wanted to be angry. Guan Yu dared not let him speak, and forced him out of the hall...

"promise!"

Liu Bei was a general of the Northern Central Army. If he didn't even allow him to participate in the military discussion, he would no longer have the right to speak. Under the pressure of reality, he could only compromise in the end.

When Zhang Miao saw Liu Bei lowering his head, he looked at Zhang Fei with anger and wide eyes, and then Liu Yaosheng pulled him back to his seat.

Seeing him sitting down, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Miao is now extremely awesome. He has more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in his hand. Logically speaking, after Zhu Jun came from Kuaiji County, he should have handed over the troops, but the family in Yanzhou that suffered was unwilling to do so. They also wanted to use more than ten thousand soldiers to fight for some benefits in Yuzhou.

There were many Yanzhou families who were fined by Dong Hu and confiscated the land. The purpose of these people around Liu Yan was to hope that the family would rise again, but Dong Hu was extremely firm. He didn't think about taking the home business from Yanzhou, and they could only focus on Yuzhou.

The world is in chaos, and the era of soldiers and horses becoming kings. With soldiers and horses, they have power, status, and wealth...

If you have milk, you are a mother. The soldiers are neither stupid nor stupid. Liu Bei's food was given by Liu Bian for a long time, and he only gave the food for two thousand soldiers. Sun Ce's food was given by Yuan Shu, Lu Bu's food was given by Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Zhang Miao's food was borrowed by Liu Yan, and Liu Yao and Zhu Jun didn't get any food, so the soldiers naturally were unwilling to obey them.

No one is a fool. The court gave Liu Yao, configuration, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Liu Guan and Zhang, which of them were not brave generals? The key is that the Pei Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom were afraid!

There are only 23,000 soldiers and horses under Zhu Jun. It is doubtful whether they can defend Pei State, let alone Chen State, which has empty soldiers. If Dong Hu wants to start a war, Chen State will be the first to fall. After Chen State is over, Pei State will follow closely. The major families are not fools. Twenty or three hundred thousand soldiers were captured by Dong Hu in Kaifeng. Cao Cao was fierce, and ten thousand soldiers killed millions of Yellow Turban Army. When he had 100,000 soldiers and horses, he should be even more powerful, right?

But what is the result?

Within four months, Qingzhou and Yanzhou all changed their banners.

Two or three thousand soldiers could not make Chen State, and the families of Pei State were at ease.
