Chapter 220
A year has passed, Xiang Ji's eldest son Xiang Ping is already three years old, and his heir Xiang Sheng is also more than a year old.
Looking at the two children playing, Xiang Ji's heart could no longer be as peaceful as before.
It's just because the news from Yanzhou is very bad.
Today's Cao Cao does not have the same background as in history, so he is reluctant to fight against Yuan Shao on Guandu.
But that Lu Bu didn't stop, and the Xiliang army began to make frequent moves, with the intention of increasing troops to the front line of Tongguan to invade Luoyang.
Therefore, Cao Cao had no choice but to send his brother Cao Ren to lead a large army to resist.
After all, you can't still confront Yuan Shao here, and look back and see that your hometown is gone, right?
But in this way, Cao Cao, who was already inferior to Yuan Shao, was in a difficult situation.
For this ally, although Xiang Ji doesn't have any true feelings, he can't just watch Cao Cao perish, right?
It doesn't matter if you Cao Cao is destroyed, when Yuan Shao is adding Lu Bu, how can I resist Lao Tzu?"
Xiang Lang, General Lu Meng has returned from Jiangdong.
Just now, the concubine really happened to meet the herald's chamberlain, so I came to tell you.
Cai Wenji, who suddenly appeared, interrupted Xiang Ji's thoughts.
When he learned that Lu Meng had returned, Xiang Ji was overjoyed.
hugged Cai Wenji and kissed him fiercely, Xiang Ji strode towards the main hall, but he didn't care at all about the beauty who was kissed by himself.
"Overlord!" Looking
at Lu Meng, who returned to Pengcheng to report on his work, Xiang Ji was full of emotion.
I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I can't imagine that this kid has matured enough to take charge on his own.
Yes, after a year, Lü Meng finally pacified Jiangdong, and the current Jiangdong has been eliminated by it all unstable factors.
Most of the clans have been removed, and the invading Shanyue aliens have also been slaughtered against them.
Today's Lu Meng, in the Jiangdong generation, can already reach the point where he hears the name of the king and does not dare to cry at night.
"Ziming, you are very good! This sword is given to you by the Lone King, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the future, so that everyone in the world will know your Lu Meng and Lu Ziming's great names!"
"Thank you for the generous gift of the overlord! Meng will definitely be the overlord and the Chu country!" Lu Meng
was extremely happy to receive the reward.
You must know that this sword is a portable sword of Xiang Ji, and the hilt of the sword is engraved with the word "Qinghong", even if people who are not illiterate can see the extraordinary nature of this sword at a glance.
Moreover, this sword still has incomparably practical significance for Lu Meng.
The weapon used by Lu Meng to march and fight has always been the bronze sword used, and now that he has Qinghong, it is even more powerful in the battle array.
Looking at Lu Meng, who had grown up, Xiang Ji's heart that had been silent for a year became restless again.
Now, this kid has really grown into a general who can stand alone, just like Tai Shici before.
In this way, there will be more abundant generals available under the command of Xiang Ji.
At present, Tai Shici and Zang Ba are still confronting the Hebei Army in Qingzhou, and they basically cannot be easily transferred.
Yu Ban led an army of 50,000 to guard the Lujiang River to prevent Liu Biao from attacking Chu from Yuzhou.
As for Zhao Yun, he is still staying in Chaisang.
Yes, Xiang Ji has not recalled Zhao Yun because of Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
When Dongwu was destroyed by Xiang Ji, this old boy found that there was a advantage to take advantage of, and immediately ordered his general Huang Zu to lead the Jiangxia sailors to invade Jiangdong.
And when Zhao Yun led the army westward, he happened to collide with this Jingzhou sailor.
What else is there to say about this, how can Zhao Yun let others get involved in the land of Jiangdong that his own overlord has worked so hard to build.
After several battles, they could only fight to balance the power, and Zhao Yun could only station troops in Chaisang and maintain a state of confrontation with Liu Biaoshui's army.
And now Lu Meng's growth has suddenly given the generals under his command a room for maneuver in the use of troops.
You must know that now after nearly a year of recuperation, the state of Chu has completely recovered from the previous state of war.
In this year, after continuous army expansion, the number of soldiers in Chu has reached a full 300,000.
At present, Qingzhou Yangcheng has Tai Shici's 50,000 troops and is confronting the Hebei army.
Lujiang has an army of 50,000 to guard against possible enemies from the direction of Yuzhou.
Zhao Yun also stationed 30,000 troops in Chaisang to maintain a state of confrontation with Liu Biao's water division, and Zhou Tai's 40,000 water division was stationed at Poyang Lake to maintain support for Zhao Yun's troops at any time.
In the end, after throwing away the 30,000 Chu troops scattered around the checkpoints to guard the security of the checkpoints, there are now 100,000 available troops in Pengcheng.
Among them, there are 8,000 dragon cavalry and 30,000 family troops.
Yes, in this year, Xiang Ji once again expanded his two pro-armies.
However, there are too few horses, and the Canglong cavalry has only expanded from the previous five thousand to eight thousand, which is still not enough compared to the hundreds of thousands of iron horses in Hebei and Xiliang.
There is also nothing to be done about this book, who let Lao Tzu start in the south.
But it doesn't matter what these teams are.
Now that the south is basically stable, as long as Liu Biao's stealing chickens and dogs are prevented, there will be no big battle.
Therefore, Xiang Ji has decided to send troops to Qingzhou and start a war against the entire Hebei Army.
In this way, it can not only help Cao Cao relieve the pressure, but also destroy a strong opponent first.
You must know that whenever Xiang Ji thinks of Lu Bu in the west and Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry in the north to charge the Chu army at the same time, they are one head and two big.
But just as Xiang Ji ordered the mobilization, bad news suddenly came from the south.
General
Yu Ban has now led the defeated army to retreat to Shouchun. When
Xiang Ji heard the news, he couldn't believe it at all.
How could it be that Lujiang was lost? Yu Ban had an army of 50,000? Could it be that they all ate dry food
? And that Liu Biao, what ability did he have? How could he capture Lujiang so quickly
?" "Do you know the specific situation?"
It was not only Xiang Ji who was surprised, but Jia Xu, who had always been an invisible person, also couldn't sit still.
You
must know that at this time, the state of Chu was preparing to launch an all-out war against Yuan Shao in Hebei, but such a big change occurred at this critical juncture.
"Overlord, Lord Taiwei, Liu Bei, it's that Liu Bei! He has already taken refuge in Liu Biao, and Lujiang was captured by his troops. "
It turned out that after Yu was forbidden to guard the Lujiang River, he had always been at peace with Liu Biaojun in Yuzhou.
never thought that because of Liu Bei's dedication, Liu Biao began to think about Chu State and Jiangdong.
After discovering that the center of gravity of Chu's war was in the north, Liu Biao simply ordered Liu Bei to command 100,000 troops and send troops from Yuzhou to capture Yangzhou in order to seize Jiangdong.
At the same time, the Jiangxia naval army, which had been confronting Zhao Yun before, also began to attack Chaisang, causing Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai's army to be unable to reinforce the ban in time.
