Sun Quan obviously also realized the truth of 'lips and teeth are cold', Cao Cao no longer has enemies in the Central Plains, no matter what the outcome with Yuan Shao is, the temptation to carve up the Central Plains is too great. After convening his subordinates to discuss, Sun Quan finally chose to send troops north.

It is not known where to fight, but it is certain that as long as Sun Quan is willing to go north, then whether it is attacking Lujiang or Guangling County in Xuzhou, he can contain Cao's army. As long as a large amount of Cao Jun's military food and materials are consumed, then even if the stalemate falls in the future, Cao Jun can be dragged down alive!

After everyone present received the news, they immediately showed excited expressions, what if Xuzhou and even Yangzhou's two counties in the north of the river were ceded to Sun Quan? As long as you occupy the name of righteousness, defeat Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and further defeat Sizhou, then it is only a matter of time before you wave your army south, attack Sun Quan, and unify the Central Plains.

It's a pity that Cao Cao formulated the corps system, which made the Yangzhou and Xuzhou legions have great autonomy. Otherwise, on the issue of material transfer, the defenders over there can drink a pot. Fu Zhu said slowly, but this is fine, at least Sun Quan's role is purely to contain, not to take advantage of the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"The legion system does have merit, and after the Qing monarch is on the side, this system can be retained." Yuan Shao nodded, the separation of military and political obviously has more advantages than disadvantages, and the key is the use of the military supervision system, which can also attract many civilians and poor scholars for her.

After a pause, he immediately announced: "Okay, let's not delay, we can't wait for Cao Jun to come north to fight us!" No matter what, set the battlefield on the opponent's turf...... Let's go! ”

"Yes!" A number of civil and military officials responded one after another. Experienced people know that the best thing about war is to set the battlefield on the territory of the other side, or else it must be set on the territory of a third party. In this way, there will be no damage to the homeland.

Especially now that spring has just passed, it is an important time for spring ploughing. Hebei did not promote high-yield crops, but only planted them on a small scale, so spring ploughing is very important for Yuan Shao. If it weren't for that, she would be able to mobilize 100,000 soldiers and overwhelm Cao Cao!

It's just that considering that at the same time as expanding recruitment, it is also necessary to mobilize a large number of people, which will obviously delay spring ploughing. So under the persuasion of frustration and the judges, I had to stop this crazy idea.

"Anyway, 50,000 beats you 20,000, it's about the same, right?" On the march, Yuan Shao muttered in a low voice.

Three days later, Cao Cao received a battle report from the front, Yuan Shao's army and the Ganning army fought in the Yellow River, ending with the victory of the Ganning army, and the enemy only had more than 1,000 embarrassed troops to hold on to the north bank of the Yellow River, and more than 20 large ships were finally destroyed 12 ships.

"The combat effectiveness of the navy army is so powerful?" Cao Cao couldn't believe it. Yuan Shao actually formed a water army, which surprised her, but what was really unexpected was that Gan Ning actually achieved such a result with minimal consumption.

At the beginning, Gan Ning, who was recruited because of Wang Yong's suggestion, originally only planned to harass Yuan Shao and delay her speed to the south, but it turned out to be to this extent.

"The main force of the Ganning Department, I'm afraid it will be transferred to another place...... Xun You took out a new report, Sun Quan in the south is reorganizing his troops, and it seems that there is a possibility of sending troops. Depending on the situation, it is estimated that it is going north.

"Isn't there a Jingzhou navy? Speaking of which, it seems to be ruled by Cai Mao?! Cao Cao thought for a moment.

After Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu was stationed in Chaisang, training the navy day and night. And the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Navy ...... I'm afraid it's not her opponent. Xun You was a little helpless, in the final analysis, Dahan is indeed a lack of qualified naval generals.

On the contrary, there are a lot of Sun Quan's side, such as Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai doesn't need to be considered under Sun Quan, but there are indeed not many naval talents over there.

"Yuan Shao's naval army has been disabled, leaving two thousand elites as guards, and the rest will go to Jingzhou to support." Xun You suggested that the south obviously needed a navy more than the north.

"From here? Even if the wind is enough, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach it for a month......" Wang Yong felt that it was enough.

"Considering the time when Sun Quan's army went north and fought with the Jingzhou army, a month or so is just right." Xun You replied, "If you calculate the time, the main force of Sun Quan's army should be in a stalemate with our army on the north bank at that time." At this time, our naval army will fight from the rear, and it will naturally cut off the opponent's retreat. ”

"Are you going to have a ruthless one?" Wang Yong said with a smile.

"At the same time, if they dare to go to war against us, then we can't just let them come and go when they want. As the price of starting a war, it is okay to defeat Yuzhang County and that Luling County together! Xun Yu replied.

At that time, it is completely possible to mobilize the Jingzhou army, and a part of the Yangzhou army will go south. Without Yuzhang County and Luling County, Sun Quanjun would only be left with the three counties of Danyang County, Wu County and Huiji County, and it would be convenient to slowly encroach on them in the future.

"Allow!" Cao Cao nodded, judging from the current situation, Sun Quan should indeed be taught a lesson. If they dare to attack behind the scenes when they and Yuan Shao are at war, then they will have to bear the fate of the failure of the sneak attack!

Cao Cao spoke, so naturally there was a clerical officer who wrote the paperwork and then sent the military order to Gan Ning.

"What to do with the captured Yuan Jun?" Cao Pi asked, along with the battle report, there were more than 1,000 prisoners who were escorted. Among them, Jiang Yiqu, the general of Yuan Shaojun, was inside.

"Try to surrender and see, if you don't want to surrender, just cut it down." Cao Cao thought about it, after all, the two armies were at war, and it was not easy to stay if they did not surrender, on the one hand, they were unwilling to increase the cost of care, and on the other hand, they were prone to problems.

"If you surrender, you may be resentenced." Wang Yong reminded.

"It's okay, because in the short term, I will arrange for the Firehead Army to be on the side of the firehead, and they will be used as logistics troops for the time being, and you can help me watch over them." Cao Cao directly threw the pot to Wang Yong.

"Meow meow?" Wang Yong tilted his head, shouldn't he have been silent just now?

"Please don't maliciously sell cute!" Cao Cao replied angrily. This guy doesn't even look at the occasion, it's not in private now!

"Huh...... I didn't expect the chef to have such a cute side. Xun You smiled slightly. Maybe it's the relationship between relatives, he sometimes doesn't seem serious in front of Cao Cao. But she can't say anything about the two husbands and wives.

"Dinner, tonight's dinner must be prepared for me. Calculate the distance, you will go to Chenliu tonight, and you should be able to get a lot of materials by then, so don't treat the soldiers badly. Cao Cao reminded.

"The subordinates naturally know." Wang Yong nodded, and then went back to arrange.

Two days later, Gan Ning, who received the military order, although he was depressed that he could not participate in the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, still obeyed the military order, took 3,000 sailors, set off overnight, and went down the river from the coast of Qingzhou to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Yuan Shaojun set out from Yecheng and went all the way south into the territory of Liyang, where he could go south to Baima at any time. After receiving the news, the White Horse defenders immediately sent someone to inform Cheng Yu, the commander of the Yanzhou Army, who immediately ordered troops to meet the battle, and at the same time sent troops to inform Cao Cao. The prelude to the Battle of Yuan Cao, the Battle of the White Horse, also kicked off......
