The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Yanzhou.

Although Cao Cao had long guessed that Liu Han was building a plank road to seduce Chencang secretly, he was very uneasy at the moment.

"King Hejian... really takes advantage of the cavalry to its fullest!"

Cao Cao initially formed cavalry and decided to do so because of the combat capabilities of Liu Han's cavalry.

Now, he has maximized the mobility of the cavalry and innovated new tactics for the cavalry.

Xun You also marveled at this based on the intelligence he received: "The King of Hejian's description is very vivid, blitzkrieg! According to the mobility of the cavalry, sneak attacks are carried out on multiple targets at the same time. First, control the traffic points, separate the enemy, and then Defeat them one by one and finally control the entire Qingzhou."

Although Xun Yu also admired Liu Han's fighting style, he was even more surprised by the execution ability of Liu Han's troops.

"My lord, what I am more afraid of is the preparations made by King Hejian before the war and the execution of the army after launching the attack."

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and naturally understood what he meant. He could only say that he was in charge of logistics.

"The logistics of a hundred thousand troops is not a small number, but it does not occupy a very important position in the preparations before the war. What I am more afraid of is the efforts made by King Hejian and others before the war. If they want to occupy Qingzhou so efficiently and You can imagine how difficult it is to block news for two months!"

"How accurate information do they need before the war, and how many times have they simulated various situations that may arise after the war?"

Obviously, a lot of pre-war preparations!

And this is exactly what Cao Cao and the others lack.

"Can we be like the King of the River..."

Xun Yu shook his head, "Lord, we can't do it for the time being." He had to admit that there was indeed a gap between his side and Liu Han in this aspect.

"First let's talk about sufficiently accurate intelligence. How much non-combat manpower is needed? How many resources do we need to invest?"

"As for the pre-war simulation, we don't know how many counselors and generals' efforts were combined to achieve this effect."

"Even in terms of execution during the battle and the coordination of the generals, my lord, we are far inferior to the army in the hands of King Hejian. You know, this time the army attacked Qingzhou, King Hejian did not personally lead the army, he was just in Yecheng Get all our attention.”

Xun Yu said it very straightforwardly. Although Cao Cao was not in Qingzhou, he was still simulating it in his mind. The result was that no matter what he did, he could not achieve the smooth movement of his army like Liu Han did.

Cao Cao rubbed his forehead, "There is indeed a gap between us and the King of Hejian, but I believe we will catch up with him one day! Our main enemy now is not him, but Lu Bu!"

That's right.

After the news of Liu Han's capture of Qingzhou spread, Cao Cao knew about it, and so did Chen Gong.

Unlike Cao Cao's frown, Chen Gong felt much relieved.

"The King of Hejian has indeed done a perfect job in attacking the east and west. His occupation of Qingzhou is undoubtedly the best news for us!"

Lu Bu was puzzled: "Gongtai? What do you mean by this? Liu Han has occupied Qingzhou, and his strength will increase a lot? What kind of good news is this for us?"

"Fengxian, may I ask, if you occupy a state, can you allocate your energy to other places?"

"How is this possible? There are so many trivial matters in a new state. I gave up on Nanyang because of this."

"Yes! Even Fengxian, you said that there are so many trivial matters. The King of Hejian must be focusing all his energy on Qingzhou now, and naturally he will not be able to take care of Yanzhou. This means that the enemies in the north will not go south, and we will be able to mobilize more Isn’t this good news that many people are ready to fight Cao Cao?”

"Yes! Good news! Great good news!"

Lu Bu suddenly understood, "Gongtai, tell me, what should we do now?"

"The autumn harvest has just passed, and now the army has sufficient supplies. We should persuade Chen Liu, Zhang Chao, Taishan Yingshao and others to join forces and capture Cao Cao's last three cities in Yanzhou!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

Lu Bu is making small moves now, and Cao Cao has a feeling that a storm is coming, "The war is coming!"    #

If there was anyone who benefited from Liu Han's victory over Qingzhou, it was definitely Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei originally wanted to seize Pei State, but Qingzhou was lost and he withdrew his troops first, leaving only Yuan Shu to confront him.

Where is Yuan Shu's opponent from Yuan Shao?

Originally, the three sides were standing in opposition to each other, and no one dared to take action first. Now that Liu Bei has withdrawn, Yuan Shao is naturally not polite and launches a fierce attack on Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu had no choice but to follow his heart, if I can't beat you, I won't fight! Anyway, I didn't want to capture Pei State at first, I just wanted to disgust Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao successfully occupied Pei State at a very small cost, and then took control of Lu State, completely turning Yuzhou into his own.

"Hahahaha! So what if Liu Han is full of clever tricks? Didn't he help me this time?"

Xu You stood up first and flattered him: "My lord is wise."

Jizhou.

What Liu Han is struggling with now is not Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Cao Cao, but the governance of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou's folk customs are considered strong in Shandong. If you want to govern Qingzhou, who will be the governor?

"Order: Jushou will be moved to Qingzhou as governor, and Guoyuan will be moved to Bingzhou as governor."

Bingzhou has already been on the right track, and it is not a problem for Guoyuan to take over. The newly acquired Qingzhou needs to start over, and it is most appropriate to arrange Jushou.

However, in addition to the governor, there are also the chief officials of the six counties. This is also a question, "Should we use Jizhou's officials?"

Although he has trained many students, after all, they are not from aristocratic families and have insufficient congenital qualities, so few are qualified for big posts.

The nobles in Jizhou were powerful, but Liu Han deliberately left them alone just to kill their temper. Now, it's almost the same.

"Dian Wei, send the order to set out and go to Qingzhou."

"Here."

"Lord, where is Yanzhou...?"

Xi Zhong wanted to ask whether he should continue to put pressure on Yanzhou or let Xu Huang withdraw his troops.

"Yanzhou... they still have to fight, let them fight. I will go to Qingzhou to meet Liu Xuande."

"Here."

Now that we have captured Qingzhou, there are still two months before the end of the year, but the biggest test is not Liu Bei, but next year...

"Zhicai, how is Jizhou's autumn harvest this year?"

As soon as this is mentioned, the drama lover will not feel sleepy.

In three years, Jizhou finally returned to its pre-war level. The Yellow Turban Rebellion devastated Jizhou, and subsequent natural disasters and man-made disasters have finally brought peace.

"My lord, Jizhou has a great harvest this year. Excluding the harvest for the people, it is enough to support an army of 100,000 people for a year."

Jizhou was tax-free in the first year, 10% of the harvest in the second year, and 20% in the third year. Taxes on farmers were very low under the rule. It was very satisfying to have such a harvest.

"Very good! How about the purchase of grain?"

"They are all old grain from the first two years of harvest, and the quality of the grain is not very good."

"It's okay, it's enough to do these things."

Next year, there will be a tough battle! (End of chapter)
