The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 161 Two-front battle

If everyone in Taishan succeeds in their plan this time, then Yanzhou will also be captured by them.

As everyone knows about the current situation in Yanzhou, the harvest last year and the first half of this year was basically nothing.

If it weren't for the support of many aristocratic families headed by the Xun family, Cao Cao and his group would not even be able to meet the military rations under their command, let alone the rations for the people under their rule.

And when everyone in Taishan takes Yanzhou into their pocket, these problems that have troubled Cao Cao and others in the past will also be transferred to Taishan.

If this problem cannot be solved, Yanzhou, which has just been purchased, may be repeated.

After all, at this time, the aristocratic family is still very powerful. If they really want to incite the people, they can really do it. Of course, this premise is that Chen Xi and others cannot solve the food shortage problem in Yanzhou.

Although this summer, they have another good harvest season in Mount Tai, and Qingzhou's grain output has stabilized, barely winning the hearts of the people of Qingzhou.

But these grains produced in Qingzhou may not be able to be used to win over the people of Yanzhou.

After all, the people of Qingzhou who had just emerged from hunger would not sell the food in their hands so easily.

As for the grain collected by local governments, they really can't borrow it from them. After all, this grain is the guarantee that they can summon an army of 200,000 at this time.

Therefore, one of the purposes of sending troops to Yuzhou this time is to empty out the treasuries in various places in Yuzhou. After all, Yuzhou is famous for its rich land.

Moreover, when Chen Xi's army sent troops from Mount Tai, they did not bring much food and grass with them. They just wanted to free up some space in the brocade bag and emptied the food and grass from the treasury in various places in Yuzhou.

As for Xuzhou, if it hadn't reached a certain level, Liu Bei, Chen Xi and the others really didn't want to use force against Xuzhou.

After all, Taishan's journey along the way would be indispensable without the support of Xuzhou Tao Qian. It would be best for Tao Qian to take the initiative to invite them to Xuzhou.

After discussing all matters, Chen Xi and others divided the 100,000 troops brought from Mount Tai into three groups, and set out from Fan County to attack the designated areas.

The right army, with Guan Yu as its general and Liu Ye as its military advisor, led an army of 30,000 to attack Liang and Chen.

The Central Army, with Liu Bei as the chief general, Zhang Fei as the deputy general, and Jia Xu as the military advisor, also led an army of 30,000 to attack Pei.

The left route army, with Chen Xi as the chief general and Hua Xiong and Yu Jin as deputy generals, also led an army of 30,000 to attack Runan County, cutting off Yuan Shu's retreat to return to Yuzhou. At the same time, he besieged Pingyu and forced Yuan Shu to return to Yuzhou.

There are still 10,000 troops stationed in Fan County. Although there are no generals with internal energy to guard them, it is really impossible to break through the small town garrisoned by these 10,000 people just by relying on the fish belly around them.

Besides, Taishan County is next door to Lu State. If someone really wants to attack Fan County, Lu Su, Li Ru and others who guard Taishan will not just watch.

After conquering Qingzhou, Yang Ji and others selected the 100,000 most elite soldiers from the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, as well as the 100,000 soldiers with outstanding physical fitness.

In addition to Taishan's original 50,000 troops, Liu Bei's army now has nearly 250,000 regular troops.

Moreover, this 250,000-strong army basically already possesses an elite talent, which is the collaborative talent trained by Yang Ji.

Although as Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, Wei Yan and others formed their own headquarters, the unified collaborative talents were modified into elite talents more suitable for them.

However, with Yang Ji's ability, he had already transformed his talent for cooperation into skills and trained them into the instincts of these soldiers. In other words, in addition to the 100,000 troops taken away by Liu Bei, Chen Xi and others, and the 50,000 troops taken away by Yang Ji, there are still 100,000 troops guarding all sides in Mount Tai and Qingzhou.

When Yang Ji sent troops to Yanzhou, he originally wanted to take Zhao Yun with him. After all, the military force of Yanzhou generals should not be underestimated.

Although his own military strength may not be much weaker than that of the Yanzhou generals, Zhao Yun must still gain some military merit.

Otherwise, when others were granted the title of marquis, Zhao Yun would not have done any military service. Even if Liu Bei wanted to put Zhao Yun's name on it, Zhao Yun himself would not accept it.

Although Zhao Yun's achievements in farming are enough to make him a marquis, don't forget that Zhao Yun is still a military commander himself.

Therefore, it is better to let Yang Ji lead Zhao Yun to send troops to Yanzhou, and after taking Yanzhou, Zhao Yun can carry out farming work on the spot, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Unfortunately, Yang Ji did not expect that Chen Xi actually vetoed Zhao Yun's proposal to go to Yanzhou to fight. Instead, Zhao Yun stayed in Taishan and transferred Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Guan Hai, and Zang Ba to his command.

Yang Ji didn't have any objections to leaving Zhao Yun in Mount Tai. After all, there were still plenty of opportunities to gain military glory.

He transferred Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to his command and asked them to follow him to send troops to Yanzhou. Yang Ji still had no objection.

After all, they have now established a government and have established systems and rules. If they can't do it, they shouldn't do it.

But Guan Hai and Zang Ba were still transferred to his command, and Yang Ji was very dissatisfied.

It's not that Yang Ji doesn't want to see these two people, but Yang Ji always feels that Chen Xi will put such historical remnants under his command in the future. This is not the first time he has done this.

You can't really throw all these historical remnants under his command just because of his evil god status.

After all, with Liu Bei's magnanimity and the size of an empire, how could there be no room for these people?

If nothing else, it would be like being like those from Xiliang, and being thrown directly to the border of the empire. When the feudal lords are divided in the future, wouldn't it be enough to resettle them on the spot?

Unfortunately, Chen Xi had too many reasons. Chen Xi came to him with a transfer order signed by Liu Bei. Could Yang Ji really refuse Liu Bei's transfer order?

"Ziyu, my lord, they have launched a full-scale attack in Yuzhou. Why do we enter Yanzhou?" Fazheng opened the door curtain and handed the information in his hand to Yang Ji.

When Yang Ji sent troops to Yanzhou this time, in addition to the generals mentioned above, he also brought Fazheng and Xu Shu with him, and Fazheng was the one who sent troops to take charge of intelligence.

After hearing what Fazheng said, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xu Shu and others in the conference room also looked at Yang Ji, waiting for Yang Ji's order.

They are stationing troops in Juping at this time. As long as Yang Ji gives the order, they can lead an army of 50,000 to attack Chenliu.

Because there were already a lot of troops stationed here in Juping, although the Jibei Kingdom on the opposite side was wary of the arrival of 50,000 troops, they never expected that Mount Tai would fight on two fronts.
