With Cao Cao and Yuan Shao joining forces.

This battle between the Central Plains was officially launched.

Following Liu Bei, Xiahou Dun was defeated and Xiaopei was defeated.

Taishici and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals under Lu Bu also defeated Cao Ren in succession.

For a time, Yanzhou Yidong took the lead in the gap.

In addition, the morale of the soldiers was also affected by the front battlefield where the main force led by Liang County and Yuan Yao were stalemate.

Yuan Yao seized the opportunity and ordered the generals to attack Cao's camp.

In an instant.

Liang County seemed to be a meat grinder, with soldiers on both sides fighting fiercely on the battlefield.

After receiving Yuan Yao's order, Zhou Yu's troops stationed in Jiangxia quickly led their troops to advance on land and water, heading westward, with the goal directly to Jiangling, the important town of Nanjun.

Once this news came out.

Originally, Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was about to respond to Cao Cao's call and raised an army to raid Nanyang County again to threaten the rear of Yuan's army.

But at this moment, news of Zhou Yu's advance came.

It immediately gave up this idea.

Liu Biao had seen Zhou Yu's ability before. He defeated Huang Zu several times and captured Jiangxia County in one fell swoop.

At this moment, he pointed at Jiangling again, and Liu Biao had to temporarily extinguish the idea of ​​going north and began to send various reinforcements to support him.

Jiangling is the top priority, not only a strategic location, but also a key location for Jingzhou to hoard military supplies.

Naturally, Liu Biao could not give up easily.

The long-awaited war in Jiangnan is also about to break out!

In a moment, the war burned across the country.

None of the states and counties spared!

The war lasted for several months again.

The battle situation in Yanzhou is still in a stalemate.

However, Lu Bu led his troops to defeat Yuan Tan several formations in Qingzhou, and successively captured Linzi, Qi State and Beihai State.

Instead, Lu Bu saw that Yanzhou was unable to break the deadlock.

So he did not lead his troops to continue crossing the river north and marched into Jizhou along Pingyuan County.

Instead, he turned west and wanted to meet with Taishi Ci, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others.

Cao Ren, who was stationed in Yedong in Yanzhou, was already unable to compete with Taishi Ci and other generals. Now, with Lu Bu personally coming to help, the defense line has been further advanced one after another.

In just about half a month.

Almost all the territory in Yanzhou that was east of him fell.

Cao Ren had to be forced to retreat to Dingtao and sent a message to Cao Cao to intimidate.

At this moment, the main force of the Cao army was fighting fiercely with the Yuan army in Liang County, and the two sides were in a stalemate for several months without distinction.

Although Yuan Yaozhi's plan was frequent, Cao Cao was already a cunning person, and now he also had the assistance of Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and the leader Xun You.

No one can do anything to the two armies.

And with the offensive between Taishici and Lu Bu's army, they turned into a breakthrough.

With the news of Cao Ren's troops retreating one after another.

The soldiers of various departments of the Cao army were gradually falling into a state of depression in the army.

In response to this, Cao Cao ordered a strong elastic force to temporarily curb the panic among the soldiers.

After Yuan Yao received the good news from Yanzhou, he would go east.

He also immediately summoned civil and military personnel to discuss a decisive battle with the main force of the Cao army and to achieve his merits.

But at this moment, the guards suddenly came to report!

There was a young man wearing a blue shirt outside Yan Daying and a pale face, asking for a meeting.

"Oh? Who is this?"

"Report to the general, that person said that he was an old friend of the general's early years!"

A word fell.

Yuan Yao suddenly seemed to have awakened, so he immediately said, "Hurry, please come with me to welcome the arrival of the great talent."

After saying that, Yuan Yao was overjoyed and took the lead in running out of the big tent quickly.

Seeing his son's joyfulness and sarcasm, all of them showed suspicion, and unconsciously guessed what could make him do this.

It took a long time to go.

Yuan Yao raised his head and gradually looked at someone outside the camp.

The smile on his face became stronger and stronger.

As expected, this person was Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao!

Wait for the fullest.

Yuan Yaoxian smiled and said, "Brother Fengxiao, I haven't seen you for many years, I wonder if you're okay?"

"Haha..." As soon as this statement came out, Guo Jia then responded with a smile and bowed: "For the sake of the young master, everything is fine!"

"It's because the young master has been famous all over the world for several years, and the name of the young master has long been well known to the world!"

"Hahaha……"

After a smile, Guo Jia had already swore to serve him invisibly.

The two had made an agreement before that when Yuan Yao pacified the Central Plains, Guo Jia would serve him.

At that time, in Guo Jia's heart, he valued more the ability of Cao Cao to unify the states in the Central Plains.

Therefore, he chose to take a wait-and-see attitude.

But in recent years, Yuan Yao has truly laid the foundation for Yuan to win the world with a series of achievements and means.

Yuan Yao even made him look at him with admiration.

Now, although the battle between Yuan and Cao has not yet decided on the outcome.

But anyone with discerning eyes can see that Yuan Jun has decided on the overall situation.

The Central Plains will definitely belong to the Yuan family.

At this moment, Guo Jia came to rely on him without hesitation.

Everyone returned to the tent.

Yuan Yao just introduced himself heavily: "Everyone, this is Guo Fengxiao in Yingchuan. He is a peerless talent."

After a few words.

Lu Su, Liu Ye and other advisers had long heard of Guo Jia's name, and now they were all bowing to each other.

Everyone chatted for a long time.

Yuan Yao's face showed a serious expression and said in a deep voice: "Fengxiao, now Yanzhou has already lost one after another, and the battle situation has gradually tilted against our army."

"I am discussing with everyone about the decisive battle with the main force of the Cao army. I wonder if there is any high opinion of Fengxiao?"

A word fell.

Guo Jia knew it in his heart that this was also Yuan Yao's consideration for his first resignation.

Then, he pondered for a while, his face calmed down, and slowly said, "Young Master, in addition to the decisive battle, it can actually make the Cao army lose its morale and be more conducive to the army's victory."

"Oh, what are the good plans for filial piety?"

"Haven's son forgot Zhang Ji, who already occupied Bingzhou?"

One word goes down.

Yuan Yao was reminded by him and immediately understood what Guo Jia meant.

"Thank you for your advice!"

In the next time.

A batch of logistics food and grass and other materials from Jiujiang, Lujiang and other places in Huainan are slowly passing through the various places and coming to Xudu.

Zhang Zhao was even more trying his best to recruit young and strong men from all prefectures and counties to join the army.

Everyone is busy!

A war that is enough to determine the origin of the Central Plains is coming.

On the other hand, Yuan Yao also stepped up sending envoys to Bingzhou to persuade Zhang Ji, Duan Wei and other forces who were entrenched here to come together to encircle and suppress Cao's army.

After careful deployment before the war.

Yuan's army's offensive has been completed and a full-scale attack is about to be launched.

At this critical moment, Yuan Shao's army, who was leading the main force to encircle and annihilate Gongsun Zan under Yijing City, also conquered Yijing.

Gongsun Zan, the overlord who was entrenched in Youzhou for the time, finally ushered in his own demise!

After killing his wife and children in the military mansion, he also set himself on fire.
Chapter completed!
