After Zhang Fu stayed in Yuyang County for two days, he returned directly to Guangyang County.

Then he arranged for Guan Hai to lead the army to capture Shanggu County, and Fu Cunshen to lead the army to attack Zhuo County.

After first capturing the outer counties, they would go deep into Youzhou to deal with those difficult counties.

In short, it would not take a year to unify Youzhou within Zhang Fu's plan, and it would take at most half a year.

In Shanggu County.

"The governor of Shanggu County is a waste. Let's split our troops into two groups to capture the city. Liao Hua, you and Li Jin will lead a team of 10,000 Taiping troops, and act separately today!"

Guan Hai felt that splitting the troops into two groups could complete the tasks assigned by the lord faster, so that they could attack Dai County earlier.

"Yes, General!" Liao Hua and Li Jin received the order.

Following Guan Hai's arrangement, the troops were divided into two groups that day to capture Shanggu County.

Except for Juyongguan where Guan Hai stayed for one day, the remaining cities were basically taken by Guan Hai in half a day.

In the last seven days, Guan Hai and Liao Hua completely captured the entire Shanggu County.

On the other side, Zhuo County encountered some minor troubles.

"Zou Jing, don't be ignorant of what is good for you. If you continue to resist stubbornly, don't blame me for massacring the city after breaking it!" Fu Cunshen shouted loudly.

He had been blocked by Zou Jing for three days. During these three days, the entire Zhuo County, except for Zhuo County in front of him, had been captured.

"If you have the ability, break the city. I am a lieutenant of the Han Dynasty. How can I be afraid of a Yellow Turban bandit!" Zou Jing's attitude was very firm, that is, to defend to the end.

The same was true for the soldiers around Zou Jing. They had all followed Liu Bei to fight the Yellow Turban bandits, so they were all brainwashed by Liu Bei.

Now they are very hostile to the Yellow Turban bandits, especially the last time they sent troops to attack Guangyang County, and then the whole army was wiped out.

Many of them are their brothers and relatives, so considering various factors, they are unwilling to surrender the city directly.

"Hmph, if you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!" Fu Cunshen immediately ordered to start a strong attack, and now his Qinglong Army has returned from sweeping the city.

Before, because he had only a few thousand soldiers, he did not choose to attack, but now he has 20,000 people, so he can naturally launch a strong attack.

Zou Jing stood on the city wall, staring at the Yellow Turban bandit army surging under the city.

He was secretly surprised in his heart, how could these bandits suddenly become so numerous? And it seems that they are all strong and healthy, obviously not a mob.

Zou Jing's face became very solemn. He knew that the enemy was outnumbered this time. If he could not come up with a countermeasure, I am afraid that the city would be difficult to protect.

At this moment, Fu Cunshen on the other side held his breath.

In the past few days, he has been suppressed and beaten, and he has been holding back a ball of anger in his heart.

Now he finally has a chance to vent!

So, Fu Cunshen discussed the strategic deployment with Zhang Guiba and Suo Chao without hesitation.

They decided to divide the troops into three groups, each leading 7,000 elite soldiers and horses to attack the three city gates respectively.

In this way, the enemy's forces can be dispersed and the chance of success in the siege can be increased.

As the horn sounded, the three armies rushed to the city gate like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Their morale was high, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

Seeing this, the defenders on the city wall could not help but be excited, and they all picked up their weapons to prepare for the battle.

A fierce battle began...

After guarding for half an hour, Zou Jing could no longer hold on, mainly because he did not take care of the three cities alone.

"Alas, it's over, everything is over!" Zou Jing sighed.

He knew that he couldn't hold on to the current situation, and Zou Jing was helpless.

Fu Cunshen had already climbed up the city wall, and then he saw Zou Jing who had been guarding him for several days.

"Are you willing to surrender?" Although Fu Cunshen was angry, if he could persuade Zou Jing to surrender, then all the hatred could be resolved.

"Hmph, how could I surrender to the Yellow Turban bandits, die!" Zou Jing directly clenched the spear in his hand and rushed towards Fu Cunshen.

Fu Cunshen also snorted coldly, and swung his knife directly. Fu Cunshen's knife can be said to be mixed with the anger of the past few days, so it is more powerful than every knife he has used before.

Zou Jing died under Fu Cunshen's knife without blocking a single knife. Zou Jing's unwilling eyes before his death made Fu Cunshen very disdainful.

The big man has become such a bastard, and you actually want to be a loyal minister, and you are still unwilling, aren't you looking for death?

"Give him a proper burial. He is a capable man after all!" Fu Cunshen said.

Although he was disdainful in his heart,Fu Cunshen still valued Zou Jing's ability, but it was a pity that he was a foolishly loyal guy.

With Zou Jing's death in battle, Zhuo County was quickly captured by Fu Cunshen. As for the massacre of the city, Fu Cunshen would definitely not do it.

He was the same as Guan Hai. They both followed the plan customized by Huang Chao to deal with the noble families and those ruffians in Shanggu County and Zhuo County.

Basically, many noble families were destroyed without much resistance, and the ruffians were all temporarily locked up.

Anyone who bullied the people was dragged out and chopped together with the noble families, and those who had not bullied disappeared directly.

No one knew where they went, because Shi Qian came to pick them up in person. Shi Qian was directly under the lord, and they had no right to ask.

After solving Shanggu County and Zhuo County, Guan Hai and Fu Cunshen joined forces to attack Dai County.

Because of the incident in Zhuo County, they did not choose to split up this time, but swept the city together, and finally captured the entire Dai County on the tenth day.

Now Zhang Fu already has five counties, Yuyang County, Guangyang County, Shanggu County, Zhuo County, and Dai County, but they are neighbors with Jizhou and Bingzhou, so he must arrange people to take charge.

Guangyang County has Zhang Fu in person, so there is no need to arrange people, and Yuyang County has Taishi Ci, so there will be no problem.

Shanggu County has nothing to do with Bingzhou and Jizhou, so now there are only two counties left, Zhuo County and Dai County.

Zhang Fu looked at the people under his command. If he distributed them, he might not have enough to unify Youzhou next.

After all, the sooner the unification, the better the reward, so he can only divide the troops to attack. If he fights all by himself, it will take too much time.

Especially in those counties, there are many Wuheng people, who are much stronger than Kouloudun and A Luopan.

However, just when Zhang Fu was about to arrange to take charge of Zhuo County and Dai County, a group of Wuheng people gathered in Shanggu County.
