Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115 The battle is about to begin!

After more than half a year, Yanzhou has basically completed the army reorganization.

The 30 Qingzhou soldiers who surrendered when they entered Yanzhou before, after excluding the old, weak, sick, disabled, and young, there were [-] elites left.

Including the 13 direct line troops brought by Cao Jun from Dongjun and Juancheng, and the original [-] soldiers from Yanzhou, Cao Cao now has a total of [-] troops!
However, the strength of Chenliu and Yingchuan County is not counted here.

Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and the others understood very well,
The two places of Chenliu and Yingchuan were left by Cao Cao for Lu Yan to toss about by himself.

Although Lu Yan didn't stay by Cao Cao's side all the time, Cao Cao's trust in Lu Yan has basically surpassed everyone around him except for those few clan brothers.

And Lu Yan's ability, after the last battle with Yuan Shu, no one will doubt it.

Judging from the way Chenliujun defeated Yuan Shu simply and neatly before,
Chenliu and Yingchuan should be the least of Cao Cao's worries at the moment.

Moreover, after Liu Biao occupied Nanyang, he restrained Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

Since Liu Biao and Cao Cao remain neutral, they will not easily start a war.
Therefore, Cao, Liu, and Yuan formed a triangular situation under the mutual defense, and the situation here was considered stable.

Cao Cao excluded nearly 13 troops from Chenliu Yingchuan, and still had [-] troops in his hands.

Although it sounds like a lot, Yanzhou is located in the Central Plains, and the army needs to be scattered around.
Therefore, the army he was able to mobilize in the end was actually only about [-] to [-].

In the north, Yuan Shao is sharpening his sword and rushing to Gongsun, so this ally is still reliable for the time being.

Luoyang in the west is still in ruins.
In Chang'an, which is farther away, Li Jue and Guo Si seemed to have some unhappiness because of certain things, and a rift between them gradually grew.

It's just that they were fascinated by the desire for power, but they didn't realize that the military adviser Jia Xu, who had always been relied on by them before, seemed to be missing often recently.

Qingzhou in the east is relatively quiet. The governor of Qingzhou belongs to Gongsun Zan, so Taishan County also has heavy troops, ready to defend this direction at any time.

Zhang Miao, who was an internal instability factor, was appointed by Cao Cao to work as a separate driver, and he was kept by his side to closely monitor him.

Everything seems to be in place,
So in the fourth year of Chuping, in February,
Cao Cao, governor of Yanzhou, accused Xuzhou Mu Taoqian of secretly ordering his general Zhang Kai to rob and kill his father!

Although Mrs. Cao narrowly escaped death, he has been bedridden due to extreme fright, and it is very likely that he will not be able to survive this winter.

"To avenge my father!
I, Cao Mengde, decided to raise troops against Xuzhou Mu Taoqian!
Of course, the people of Xuzhou are innocent. I, Cao Cao, take pity on the innocent people and will give the people of Xuzhou a month to leave the battlefield in Xuzhou! "

In order to make himself famous,
Cao Cao also asked people to collect and list Tao Qian's several crimes, and then wrote to the court, preparing to attack Xuzhou!

Although the current imperial court has long lost its majesty in the hearts of the princes of the Kanto region, it is still necessary to save face, otherwise people in the world will always look down on you.

Cao Cao's attitude towards the court controlled by Li Jue and Guo Si is: Anyway, the things are given to you, no matter whether you agree or not, I, Cao Mengde, will send troops
As soon as the news that Yanzhou Cao Cao wanted to launch an army against Xuzhou came out, the world shook!

After Tao Qian's crimes were sent to Chang'an, Li Jue sent someone in the name of the emperor to reconcile the conflict between Yanxu and Xuzhou.

It's just that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, how can Cao Cao stop?
During this month, Cao Cao summoned Xiahou Dun, the prefect of Dongjun, one of his generals,
Cao Ren, prefect of Yingchuan,

Xia Houyuan, the prefect of Rencheng,
As well as Wumeng Xiaowei Dianwei, who became famous after the First World War in Yingchuan, and others, gathered in Juancheng, preparing to send troops to Xuzhou!
This time, Cao Cao was still preparing to lead the army in person,

Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu will follow Cao Cao to Xuzhou,

As the second in command of Yanzhou, Xun Yu naturally took charge of Yanzhou after Cao Cao left.

Cao Ren, the prefect of Yingchuan, was transferred away.

So Yingchuan County was handed over to Lu Yan, the governor of Chenliu County, and Cao Hong served as a part-time captain to assist Lu Yan in defending Yingchuan.

Some local snakes in Chenliu thought that the evil star Dian Wei had left, and they finally made it out.

As everyone knows, the person Lu Yan appoints to replace Dian Wei is the real terror!
In the prefect's mansion of Chenliu County,
Lu Yan said to Man Chong: "Man Chong, I order you to be in charge of the judiciary, and you can arrange your own affairs. The security of Yingchuan and Chenliu counties will be entrusted to you!"

Man Chong didn't expect that Lu Yan would raise himself so high all of a sudden, and he was a little flattered and bowed his hands:

"Thank you for the prefect's trust, the pet will enforce the law impartially, and return Chen Liu and Yingchuan to a bright future!"

A generation of cruel officials finally ascended to the position from Lu Yan,
I just don't know who will hit the muzzle of the new official Man Chong when he takes office?
Mao Jie waited until Lu Yan finished arranging things one by one, then got up and said to Lu Yan:
"My lord raised an army to attack Tao Qian, and Xun Biejia sent a letter, wanting to collect food and grass from my Chenliu County."

Lu Yan thought Xun Yu's request was reasonable.

Besides, he, Lu Yan, has saved so much food, isn't it because Boss Cao has food to eat when he is fighting, so he won't kill people or even eat human breasts.

Lu Yan's tone and demeanor were normal, he nodded to Mao Jie and replied:
"If Wen needs as much food as he needs, give him as much food as possible.

If our grain reserves in Chenliu County are not enough,

Then let's use money to buy from Liu Biao, from Yuan Shu, and even from Bashu!
Boda will be in charge of the logistical matters, and you must fully cooperate with Xun Biejia's logistical support work. "

Lu Yan assigned this matter to Ren Jun,

Ren Jun felt that the burden on his shoulders was extremely heavy, but he still got up and answered in a firm tone: "Here!"

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't hide it, Mao Jie

Instead, he fully supported Cao Cao and Xun Yu's actions. After nodding, he sat back in his seat again.

The old guy has always admired Lu Yan's ability,
I just feel that Lu Yan is sometimes unreliable.

Especially after the prodigal son Guo Jia came again, the two of them were like-minded and often did stupid things that made people's blood pressure soar.

Mao Jie was afraid that Lu Yan would go astray, so this is the right way to remind and even beat Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's nerves were relatively rough, and he didn't understand Mao Jie's good intentions, but Mao Jie was really kind to him, and he was also one of his assistants that he could completely trust.

It's February again,

This year's spring plowing is about to start, and according to the plan made in advance, the scale of spring plowing and the reclamation of fertile land will continue to expand.

Coupled with the upcoming battle between Yanzhou and Xuzhou, the leisurely and peaceful atmosphere before Chen Liu finally began to slowly change.

General Yamen Zhao Yun,

At Lu Yan's request, he stayed in Chenliu, because Lu Yan secretly needed to beware of Lu Bu and Chen Gong.

Cao Cao agreed to Lu Yan's request,

But in order to make up for the lack of top-notch generals in the army, Dian Wei was pushed out by Lu Yan.

Dian Wei's fierce reputation had already made Cao Cao's heart itch, and he wished he could go to Chenliu to see for himself what kind of murderous person Dian Wei was.

Now Lu Yan recommended Dian Wei to Cao Cao, which just relieved Cao Cao's lovesickness, and Dian Wei was finally able to follow Cao Cao to the battlefield.

Although Dian Wei is very likely to be beaten by meat buns and never return,
But Lu Yan felt that he now had Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Man Chong and Yu Jin,

In addition to the newly formed special army,
Even if Lu Bu really came, he would not hesitate at all, and even go up there!
