Youzhou, since the news that the princes wanted to jointly attack and merge with the state came, Guo Jia secretly accumulated strength, especially when he learned that the Jizhou army dared to send 60,000 troops, he was also secretly planning, preparing to give Jizhou a fatal blow.

At this time, the Youzhou army was more elite than before, and the battlefield of Youzhou and the grassland made great progress in the Youzhou army, and there was no threat from the grassland, Liaodong, and Wuhuan, and the Youzhou army was able to free up its hands, and Lu Bu's order to Guo Jia was to act at the opportunity.

At this time, the soldiers and horses gathered in Jixian County have reached 20,000, and the soldiers and horses that Jizhou can mobilize are no more than 30,000 at most.

The information continued to reach his hands, Guo Jia frowned slightly, and said: "Lord Chen, Jizhou's soldiers and horses in Zhongshan have reached 8,000 people, and Bohai County is Yuan Shao's birthplace, and the defensive force will not be too weak. ”

Chen Tiandao: "Military advisor, since the Jizhou army is so big, why don't our army drive straight into Jizhou and turn Jizhou upside down." ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Otherwise, although Yuan Shao sent troops at this time, he still has a defense against Youzhou, and if he wants to give Jizhou a fatal blow, he must let the army enter Jizhou when Yuan Shao can't withdraw, so that Jizhou may be taken from Yuan Shao's hands." ”

"But Huguan has to withstand the attack of more than 100,000 troops." Chen Tian worried.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lord Chen is too underestimated to the lord, don't say that the princes have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Huguan, even if there are 200,000 to attack Huguan, it is not possible to capture it in a short time." ”

Chen Tian has no objection to this, but the joint attack of the princes and the annexation of the state will always give people a sense of worry, and Guo Jia is no exception.

"In the words of the military advisor." Chen Tian's eyes flashed with hatred, he couldn't forget his father's words before he died, the Yuan family had to pay a heavy price for their actions back then, and now this opportunity is coming.

Guo Jia looked at Chen Tian for a moment and said, "As a pastor of Youzhou, Lord Chen should consider his actions more comprehensively, and more often than not, he should not be blinded by hatred. ”

Chen Tian nodded, his background is not a secret in the high-level of Bingzhou, although he is now a pastor in Youzhou, but he attaches great importance to Guo Jia's words.

Just when the princes moved to merge with the state, Ma Teng led the army to capture Longyou, and then ordered Ma Chao to lead the troops to capture Wudu, and his strength jumped to become a powerful prince of Liangzhou, and Han Sui also seized the opportunity to seize Wuwei.

Han Sui had a good relationship with the Qiang people, with the support of the Qiang people, and it was a sure thing to seize Wuwei, but Han Sui put aside the orders of the Han family, he didn't want to make enemies with the Bingzhou army at this time and attract the attack of the Bingzhou army.

Ma Teng occupied Longguan, but let the Bingzhou army take it with lightning speed, this incident reminded Han Sui, don't ignore the existence of the Bingzhou army at any time, if the Bingzhou is broken by the princes, he doesn't mind capturing Anding, Beidi, and then threatening Chang'an, and just captured Wuwei, he needs time to stabilize.

Compared with Han Sui's immobility, Ma Teng has one more thought, that is, the opportunity to seize Chang'an has come.

Although Longyou and Wudu were captured one after another, the number of soldiers under Ma Teng's command was increasing unabated, and the princes plotted to attack and annex the state to communicate with each other, which made Ma Teng extremely tempted.

As long as Chang'an can be controlled in his hands, why should he be afraid of the princes of the world, and then he Ma Teng will be able to become one of the powerful princes.

"Meng Qi, for my father, I want to raise troops to attack Longguan, what do you think?" Ma Teng set his sights on Ma Chao, and Ma Teng became more and more satisfied with Ma Chao's performance on the battlefield.

Ma Chao was silent for a long time and said: "Father, Longguan is dangerous, although the defenders in the pass are only 3,000 people, but they should not be underestimated, our army is difficult to suppress the defenders of Longguan on the thunderbolt car, if you want to attack, you will definitely suffer heavy casualties." ”

"Meng Qi, as a father, I heard that the princes communicate with each other, and among the princes, Cao Jun's bed crossbow can reach three hundred steps in range, so why worry about not being able to break through Longguan." Ma Teng laughed.

Ma Chao suddenly, it turned out that Ma Teng was fighting this idea, he believed that as long as Ma Teng showed the intention of attacking Longguan at this time, Jingzhou would definitely give full support, and after getting the bed crossbow, the strength of the army would be greatly improved, even if it was difficult to break through Longguan, it would be beneficial to the army at this time.

At the beginning of the attack on Chang'an with the Bingzhou army, Ma Chao realized the importance of equipment, under the thunderbolt and bed crossbow, even if a person's force is high, it is difficult to resist.

Subsequently, Ma Teng sent Ma Chao as an envoy and rushed to Chang'an overnight.

Hearing the news that Ma Teng was going to join the army, Liu Biao was overjoyed, regardless of his physical discomfort, he met Ma Chao in person, and said kind words to Ma Chao.

The existence of Lu Bu is not only for the Han family, but also a huge threat to the princes, if Lu Bu can be eradicated, the prestige of the Han family can be improved to a greater extent, and Ma Teng's previous performance is extremely respectful to the Han family, with this kind of help, after the army occupies Chang'an, why can't he further pacify Liangzhou.

Yuan Shao led the Jizhou army to Huguan, he was also cautious along the way, he was very jealous of the Bingzhou army, and there was also a strong army in Youzhou, although a large number of troops were arranged in the generation of Changshan State, but it should not be taken lightly.

Most of the soldiers of the Jizhou army were re-recruited and formed, and they were much worse in military discipline, seeing the wealth of Hanoi, many soldiers were also indulged in looting, Yuan Shao did not take this to heart, at this time the ruling power of Hanoi belonged to Lu Bu, that is, their enemy, and it was normal to grab something on the enemy's territory.

Moreover, Hanoi will belong to Cao Cao in the future, and there is no need to restrain the soldiers under his command in Hanoi, and if the soldiers under his command get good enough benefits, their morale can be higher.

Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao several times after seeing that Yuan Shao ignored him, and he was angry, no matter which princes Hanoi belonged to in the future, it was the land of the Han Dynasty, and the people in it were also the people of the Han Dynasty.

In the matter of attacking and merging the state, the strategists of Jizhou reached an agreement, and they also deeply felt the threat from the merger, and Jizhou and the state will have a war sooner or later, Youzhou and Jizhou are approaching, once the Youzhou army and the merge state army attack Jizhou from two ways, Jizhou is difficult to resist, with the help of the power of the princes, not only can eliminate the strong enemy, but also take advantage of the situation to recapture the lost Youzhou.
