The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The army set off in a mighty way, with endless formations.

Liu Ke left Zhang Liao with [-] troops to guard Xuzhou, and sent Huang Zhong with [-] troops to Shouchun, the seat of Jiujiang County.

This move was to prevent Cao Cao from breaking through Runan County and entering Jiujiang.

Therefore, Liu Ke can use only [-] troops.

It was the first time that Yangzhou sent so many troops to the expedition. In many cases, [-] to [-] troops could decide the outcome of a battle.

Among the [-] people, there are [-] cavalry troops, all of whom are among the best fighters, and they are also Liu Ke's greatest reliance.

Among the many princes, only Liu Ke and Dong Zhuo can support so many cavalry.

However, Dong Zhuo's flying bear army performed mediocrely in the last battle, so that Liu Ke broke through all the defense lines.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Feixiong's army dispersed in a frenzy.Later, Li Jue fought with Guo Si, and Fei Xiong's army was completely lost.

This time, all Yangzhou fierce generals will come out.Including Liu Ke, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Zhang He, Gao Shun, Hua Xiong and others fought with high spirits.

Among the advisers, Xun You and Huang Zhong went to Shouchun, Dongyang City had Lu Su, Chen Gong rushed to Nanhai to join Zhao Yun, and Jia Xu guarded Jiaozhi County.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others returned to the counties to stabilize the people's hearts, and at the same time organized militias, ready to resist the enemy at any time.

Unlike the [-] new troops trained by the Tibetan tyrants, the militiamen are only considered as reserves.

Shouchun and Dongyang have no shortage of strong men and population. At critical moments, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao can pull up a [-]-man defense force at any time.Therefore, Liu Ke is not particularly worried about defense. What really needs to be considered is how to defeat the invading enemy army.

At the same time, only Guo Jia and Liu Ye accompanied Liu Ke on the expedition.

"Feng Xiao, are you afraid?" Liu Ye asked suddenly.

The coalition of millions of princes attacked Yangzhou, which was a test for the strategists. They had to strain their nerves and look for the enemy's flaws.

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and felt comfortable all over.He tricked Liu Ke into getting a drinking license on the grounds that drinking could refresh him.

"So-so." Guo Jia said.

"Actually, I also think that our army's chances of winning will be better if we stick to the river." Liu Ye sighed.

"Natural dangers are important, but man-made is even more important," Guo Jia said.

It can be said that these [-] people are all the elites in Yangzhou. Once the losses are heavy, then Liu Ke must recruit new soldiers.

Without a large number of recruits entering the battle, they could only fight one-on-one. Yangzhou would win, but it was a miserable victory.

Therefore, Guo Jia is not worried about winning or losing, but about losses.It was by grasping this point that he successfully persuaded Liu Ke to go north first and then south.

Gao Shun, who was in charge of the security mission, dispatched countless scouts to investigate the news, and the news reported by each team of scouts was consistent, that is, no enemy troops were found.

Yangzhou borders Xuzhou, so Liu Ke decided to visit Xuzhou first.

After confirming the North First policy, Liu Ke hesitated.There are two groups of enemies coming to the north, one is Cao Cao's [-] troops, and the other is the combined forces of Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan.

Which way to break first?

Cao Cao's army is undoubtedly easier to deal with in terms of numbers, and it is similar to the strength that the Yangzhou army can dispatch.

There are two reasons why Liu Ke did not choose Cao Cao. One is that Cao Cao is old and cunning. The two armies have fought side by side and are very familiar with him.Second, Cao Cao was not ready, and the army still stayed in Chenliu.

This is why Yangzhou efficiency provides Liu Ke with a huge advantage, and he has more initiative.

Therefore, he chose Liu Bei who was also unprepared.

Liu Bei's three-person allied army has a total of [-] people, which sounds very bluffing, but Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are still on the road.

Liu Ke wanted to make a time difference, and suddenly attacked Liu Bei when the Beilu First Army of the Three-person League was unprepared.

Xuzhou is the throat of the Allied forces this time, and Liu Ke positioned it as a stop loss.

Simply put, it is to control the war within the territory of Xuzhou.

If Liu Bei could be severely injured in an instant, Cao Cao would have to consider Chen Liu's defense.

Because Xuzhou borders Chenliu, Liu Ke's army is operating in Xuzhou. Does Cao Cao dare not pay attention?

Marching into Xuzhou can interfere with Cao Cao's decision-making.

After comprehensive consideration, Liu Ke unceremoniously prepared to take Liu Bei's knife.

When Liu Ke expressed his thoughts, Guo Jia and Liu Ye were amazed.

This is clearly grabbing a job!

Guo Jia was still able to calm down, but Liu Ye felt uncomfortable. After all, he didn't give a single suggestion.

"Report my lord, no trace of the enemy has been found." Gao Shunhui reported.

Sure enough, as expected, Liu Bei was not ready.

"The army entered Xuzhou and gave Liu Bei a surprise." Liu Ke said.

The word "surprise" made the generals laugh constantly.

"Haha, my lord, you are really too bad!" Hua Xiong said.

"That's the way it should be done, and then the allied forces found out that they were the one being attacked, isn't it interesting?" Zhang He said.
