With Ding Yuan's death and Lu Bu's escape, Taiyuan County soon fell into Zhang Fu's hands.

At this time, Zhang Fu was thinking about the next strategic deployment.

He knew that in order to truly control Bingzhou, he had to take over other counties.

So he decisively issued an order: "Xu Rong, Qiu Liju, you two lead the army to attack Shangdang County; Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, Zhang Xian, the three of you lead the army to attack Shangjun; Li Cunxiao, Fu Cunshen, you two lead the army to attack Hexi County!"

"Yes, lord!" Xu Rong, Qiu Liju, Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, Zhang Xian, Li Cunxiao, Fu Cunshen and other generals received the order in unison.

Zhang Fu then said: "Remember, our goal is to occupy these counties as soon as possible and expand our sphere of influence. But we must also pay attention to protecting the people and not let them suffer unnecessary harm."

At the same time, Zhang Fu also arranged for Huang Chao to lead Zhang Guiba and Suo Chao to deal with some family issues.

He knew that these families often had a strong influence, and if they were not properly handled, they would bring a lot of trouble in the future.

The largest family in Taiyuan County was the Taiyuan Wang family, that is, Wang Yun's family.

Although Wang Yun was loyal to the Han Dynasty, Zhang Fu believed that his IQ was not high. The reason why the Han Dynasty became what it was later was not unrelated to Wang Yun's impatience.

However, if Wang Yun did not have the support of his family, he could see Wang Yun's own ability.

Therefore, Zhang Fu decided to take action. Whether the Taiyuan Wang family should be destroyed or not, it depends on whether they have done evil. After all, Zhang Fu thinks that Wang Ling is still a talent.

With Zhang Fu's order, the armies of various routes set out and marched at full speed towards the counties they were responsible for.

......

While Zhang Fu led the army to attack Bingzhou, Jizhou Governor Lu Zhi and Qingzhou Governor Zhu Jun had joined forces as soon as they learned the news.

At this time, Lu Zhi was sitting in the tent, looking at everyone and asked: "Everyone, tell me, should we go to support Bingzhou or attack Youzhou?" His voice was steady and firm, with a convincing force.

In fact, in Lu Zhi's view, both paths are feasible, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

If you choose to support Bingzhou, you can unite with Ding Yuan's army to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, but in this way, they may be caught in a protracted battle and have to face a powerful enemy.

On the other hand, if you choose to attack Youzhou, you may take advantage of the opportunity and achieve a greater victory, but there are also certain risks.

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Zhu Jun took the lead and said: "Do you still need to think about this? Of course, go to support Bingzhou. We are of the same blood, and we will prosper and suffer together!"

His tone was firm, and he looked at Lu Zhi firmly, expressing his support for the view of going to Bingzhou to support.

After all, when the three of them set out from Luoyang, Emperor Liu Hong had ordered them to jointly deal with the Yellow Turban Army, so Zhu Jun believed that they should follow the emperor's will.

However, someone soon stood up to express his opposition.

Liu Bei bowed and said, "I understand your thoughts, but I think Youzhou is empty now, so we should take the opportunity to attack Youzhou!"

His eyes flashed with a firm light, as if he was confident in his own opinion.

"After all, Youzhou is very empty now, and their strongest generals have all been taken to Bingzhou. With the ability of Governor Ding, it is definitely not a problem to delay Zhang Fu." Liu Bei said with a bright look.

"As long as Governor Ding delays enough time, we can capture the entire Youzhou, and then turn around and gather the forces of the three states to support Governor Ding to completely eliminate Zhang Fu!" He then began to express his opinion again, with a firm light in his eyes.

When it comes to hatred for Zhang Fu, Liu Bei is no worse than Zhu Jun, but in the current situation, it is obviously safer to attack the empty Youzhou.

This time, Tian Feng, Ju Su, Shen Pei and other advisers under Lu Zhi stood up and expressed their agreement with Liu Bei's opinion.

They believed that attacking Youzhou could not only weaken Zhang Fu's sphere of influence, but also make full preparations for subsequent battles.

Sun Jian, who was under Zhu Jun, also stood up resolutely after taking a look at Zhu Jun and expressed his support.

He said in a firm tone: "Sir, it is indeed more appropriate to attack Youzhou now, in order to prepare for the better elimination of Zhang Fu later!"

Zhu Jun was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, also indicating that he agreed with this decision. He understood that although he was eager to take revenge, under the current situation, attacking Youzhou was indeed the wisest choice.

Everyone reached a consensus, and they decided to gather first.Attack Youzhou with the strength of the Central Army to gain a greater strategic advantage.

......

However, before Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun started to mobilize their troops, Cheng Yu, who was in Youzhou, had already learned the news in advance.

"Haha... The lord is indeed as good as a god. Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun really intend to attack us!"

Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing. He had long guessed that the other party would do this, but now seeing this information with his own eyes, he still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Cheng Yu turned his head to look at a bad man beside him and ordered: "You go and send this information to Cheng Yaojin on the front line, and let him and Brother Zhicai start to act!"

"Yes, military advisor!" The bad man immediately took the order and went to deliver the letter.

The lord had made enough arrangements before attacking Bingzhou, and this time he dispatched Zhang Dingbian from the navy all the way.

Thinking back to the battle that day, Cheng Yu felt that both of them were fierce generals.

When Cheng Yu saw Zhang Dingbian, he was secretly surprised by his tall stature and powerful aura.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Cheng Yu introduced his plan to Zhang Dingbian and invited him to fight Huang Zhong. Zhang Dingbian gladly accepted, with a confident light in his eyes.

On the martial arts field, Zhang Dingbian and Huang Zhong stood opposite each other.

Huang Zhong looked solemn, holding the Red Blood Knife tightly in his hand, while Zhang Dingbian seemed calm, holding the Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife, with a faint smile on his lips.

When the battle began, Huang Zhong took the lead in attacking, waving the Red Blood Knife, the knife flashed, and slashed at Zhang Dingbian with a fierce momentum.

Zhang Dingbian dodged sideways and easily avoided the attack. At the same time, he counterattacked with the Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife and slashed directly at Huang Zhong's chest.

Huang Zhong saw this and quickly waved his knife to resist, but was shocked by Zhang Dingbian's strength and took a few steps back.

He steadied himself and attacked again, his swordplay becoming more ferocious, trying to pull back the advantage.

However, Zhang Dingbian, with his agility and superb martial arts, resolved Huang Zhong's attacks time and time again.
