Liu Cang did not occupy Yuzhou. County and county officials in Yuzhou were a mixture of various forces, but none of them were sent by Liu Cang.

There is no direct force under Liu Cang in Yuzhou, but it has to be said that Liu Cang is almost invincible in Yuzhou.

Where the military flag was fluttering, no one was guarding the villages, the forts were wide open, and the counties and cities were not sealed. Liu Cang led his army to Runan, and along the way he encountered many people blocking the road to greet the army.

Rescue the injured, help people reclaim wasteland, spread improved seeds, prevent and control disasters, etc. This place is close to Luoyang, and many people here have received Liu Cang's favor, which has led to Liu Cang's high reputation in Yuzhou.

Only a loving father and a filial son must be filial, and a wise king and a wise minister must be virtuous. After all, most things in this era are two-way, not double-standard. Many times, it is useless to just talk.

Most of the old generals in Liu Cang's army were not surprised by this situation. Zhou Yu was full of sighs and Taishi Ci's chest was high. Yan Hu, who accompanied the generals across the mountains, was deeply impressed by Liu Cang's overwhelming power, and his awe for Liu Cang was even deeper.

Pang De led the Tianshu Battalion with 5,000 soldiers. Bian Ji was unwell and went to fight. Hua Xiong led 2,000 soldiers from the Tianji Battalion. Xun Yue and Zhong Yan led the 3,000 elite infantry battalions to Runan.

When they arrived at Runan City, Xun Yue and Zhong Yan even accepted 20,000 volunteers from Yuzhou, hoping to help fight in Runan and encircle Yuan Shu's troops.

Yicong, for a certain prince, is a very honorable concept. To a large extent, this concept has a deterrent effect on other forces beyond financial and military power.

The princes from all sides have been waiting to see the conflict between Liu Cang and Yuan Shu, but this time, the powerful people from all sides have already decided that if there is a conflict with Liu Cang, the location of the conflict must not be in Yuzhou.

King Dongping is almost invincible in Yuzhou, so he can easily fight with others here, but if he conflicts with Liu Cang, even the calls of the established families here may not be effective.

Although it was the Yingchuan disciples who led the call for troops, the Yuzhou Yi Cong was different from that powerful giant spirit, and the princes from all walks of life were even more taboo against Liu Cang.

At the same time, all parties have also tightened restrictions on Liu Cang's direct participation in local civil affairs.

We buy grain and distribute it. We raise doctors and raise them. If there is any disaster, you don’t need to come to your door. We will go to Luoyang first to kowtow to you. We have to be the first to ask for help from the people.

Thanks to the chaos among them, they were not confident that they could overturn Liu Cang, otherwise Liu Cang would not be able to stabilize.

Generally speaking, the main purpose is to weaken Danhua Liu Cang's influence on his own territory as much as possible. Seeing the momentum Liu Cang has created in Yuzhou, the biggest feeling of powerful people from all walks of life is that they feel very tired.

When Liu Cang led his troops to Runan, the city gates of Runan were already wide open. All of Yuan Shu's subordinates in Runan were stabbed clean by the people who resisted Yuan in the city without fighting. It is said that the Yingchuan gentry also had generals in Runan.

Yuan's intention was to pull down the horse.

Runan was pacified, and Liu Cang joined forces with Pang De and Hua Xiong. Yi Cong returned home, Xun Yue and Zhong Yan returned to Luoyang. Liu Cang led his army to march westward again and sent troops to Nanyang, with the intention of directly killing Yuan Shu.

In mid-194 AD, Liu Cang's 70,000-strong army arrived at the gates of Wancheng in Nanyang. Nearly ten years after the early Yellow Turban Wancheng Rebellion, Wancheng was once again plagued by war.

Yushui garrisoned troops.

"This place is a bit scary. Well, Zhang Xiu is here with us, which is good. Dian Wei is not here either, which is good. As long as you don't mess around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Liu Cang whispered quietly in the Chinese army formation.

.

This is a ghost place. In history, the future boss Cao suffered a hemiplegia here. Looking at Wancheng City from a distance, Liu Cang's sense of involvement was somewhat stronger.

"Report~, my lord, the general in charge of Wancheng intends to resist stubbornly and refuses to surrender." An order came from the army and Liu Cang nodded to express his understanding.

The army gathered, and Liu Cang was in the middle of the army, sitting upright on the carriage. Besides Dafu, Sifu, and Wei Yan, his four followers were gearing up.

Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shi Ci, and Zhou Yu were all capable, but they were too junior in Liu Cang's army, and none of them could lead troops at this time.

Huang Zhong, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Liu Maode, assisted by Yuan Huan, Huangfu Heng, and Zhang Zan were the leading hussar troops.

Then there are Yan Hu, Fei Zhan, Chen Ce, Zhang Jie, Chen Ao and others who are the Baiyue marshals of Yangzhou. These men lead thousands of troops. Their troops are brave and brave, but there is no military discipline at all.

However, after passing through Runan's group and feeling the power of the Hussars, I couldn't tell whether I was yearning for it or fearing it. When the Shanyue soldiers arrayed themselves and became self-conscious, no one could refute them even when Liu Maode's supervisor was yelling at them, and they obeyed orders rigorously.

"My lord, I am afraid that Yuan Shu is holding on to the city to wait for the reinforcements from Jizhou. General Dian's troops have arrived at Wuji. Yuan Shao has no skills. Maybe he can persuade Yuan Shu to surrender?" Yuan Huan, wearing a Confucian armor, crossed his sword and said to Liu Cang.

"It is useless to persuade him. Sun Jian's clan is destroyed, and Yuan Shu knows that he is not favored by his lord, so he dare not surrender. Recently, Cao Cao of Yanzhou seems to have the intention of establishing a foothold in Yuzhou." Zhou Yu shook his head and spoke, as if he didn't care much about Wancheng, and turned around

Mention Cao Cao.

Unlike Wei Yan and the others, Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu, and Taishi Ci all regarded themselves as military generals. The three of them were relatively at ease around Liu Cang. After all, they used force to rule the roost. If they took action, Huang Zhong and his gang would probably beat them up.

Doubt life.

But Zhou Yu is different. He positions himself as an adviser, analyzes the situation, makes plans and talks. Zhou Yu is not afraid of anyone yet.

Liu Cang often expressed his dislike for the Yuan family in Runan in his early years. Regardless of Liu Cang's attitude towards the royal family, the outside world still viewed Liu Cang as a vassal king who cared about the Han Dynasty.

This time it was Yuan Shu who provoked Liu Cang first. Yuan Shu did not dare to surrender because he had enough reasons to suspect that Liu Cang would be killed if he surrendered. However, Yuan Shu today is not as notorious as he was in history.

Yuan Shu had his share of disasters, but Sun Jian had lived a few more years, and his temper was to bite whomever he caught. Sun Jian had to bear all the blame. On the contrary, it was widely spread that Yuan Shu was now in Nanyang.

The reputation among the people is not bad.

As far as human groups are concerned, what is powerful is quantity after all, and those who cunningly control quantity can often be defined as strong.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Faced with the siege of Liu Cang's army and having control of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Wancheng, Yuan Shu still tried to confront Liu Cang.

Compared with the inevitable battle before him, Zhou Yu was well aware of the strength of his own army, and he was more concerned about the recent situation of many of Cao Cao's men taking over local official positions in Yuzhou.

"Cao Cao, you don't need to pay too much attention. The governance of Yangzhou will not happen overnight. There are many aristocratic families in the Central Plains, which is very troublesome. Cao Mengde has the ability to govern the world. If he wants to govern, let him govern first." Liu Cang smiled at Zhou Yu.

"Treat first?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Haha, Gong Jin likes to calculate gains and losses, and it's just a waste of energy. Let's think about all the things in Yangzhou first, and don't think about things that are not there." Liu Cang shook his head and smiled, turned to look at Wancheng, and stopped chatting.

"Han Sheng, shoot to suppress the sound." Liu Cang ordered, and Huang Zhong took the order to join the army.

"Maode, Haoqiao is out, the ladder is in place." The order was conveyed, the army's formation was opened, and all kinds of siege equipment entered the scene amidst the shouts of the soldiers.

The so-called Haoqiao is a vehicle-mounted folding ladder device. Its main purpose is to build bridges across trenches and moats.

It's just that the Haoqiao and the ladders launched by Liu Cang's army were obviously thicker and more solid than the conventional ones. The elephants that originally dragged these equipment were also removed from the ropes. The roar of the steam engine sounded. Under the frame baffle, a large number of armored soldiers followed the equipment.

.

Han Dynasty cities are not earthen fortresses. In fact, elephants are very impractical in Han Dynasty wars. They are too easy to kill and have extremely low cost performance.

In addition to providing war elephants for a battalion of flying bears, the elephants raised by Liu Cang, in addition to eating meat, were mostly used as draft animals and farming animals.

"Woo~~" The horn of attack sounded.

The roar of the wind was conveyed, the iron-tied bow, the big yellow crossbow, and tens of thousands of sharp arrows crossed the battlefield, and rained down on the Wancheng wall in the sharp roar.

"Winter~Winter~" the war drums beat.

Sword and Shield advanced, but Yuan's army in Wancheng was suppressed by Liu Cang's strong shot and attempted to counterattack. Behind Sword and Shield, more crossbowmen formed a formation and advanced toward the city wall.

These crossbowmen use normal military crossbows. In terms of range, they are at a disadvantage in siege warfare.

However, there was a strong rain of arrows to suppress them. When this larger batch of long-range units entered the shooting range, the continuous rain of arrows made it difficult to organize an effective counterattack at the top of Wancheng City even if they risked their lives.

"Boom~boom~" The falling rocks thrown from the city caused a small number of casualties to Liu Cang's army. After becoming familiar with the impact point, the soldiers would avoid it.

"Empty~" Hao Bridge is built.

"Empty~" The ladder frame.

"Yan Hu! Fei Zhan!" Liu Cang stood up and shouted.

"Here!"

"Shan Yue! Climb the city!"

"Ascend the city~~~!" Wanjun roared in filial piety.

Just like cheering for filial piety, during this siege battle, the Shanyue soldiers actually roared like cheering for filial piety.

Shan Yue was very good at foot combat and rock climbing. The enemies on the city were suppressed and only some of them in heavy armor were left running and shouting at the top of their lungs. The wide and solid ladders on the edge of the city also made Shan Yue's blood boil with excitement as he charged without hesitation.
