    Yuzhou Yingchuan is just a corner battle. The real decisive factor depends on Yanzhou Chenliu.

    After Qingzhou's troops entered Xuzhou, Liu Ke waved his hand, and 400,000 troops marched straight to Chenliu County with great momentum.

    Wherever the army passed, banners covered the sky. Countless Yanzhou people were frightened and hid in the forest.

    The people's fear of the army is almost instinctive, not to mention that they are facing a well-trained army like the Yangzhou Army.

    Walking in neat steps, he looked like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general.

    Suddenly, an old man was crying. The young people in the village asked him: "Why is the old man crying?"

    "Hundreds of thousands of troops are crossing the border, and I can't even count them. I have more than ten acres of crops on the roadside. I'm afraid I can't save them!" said the old man.

    The army marched for a day without stopping for a moment before passing through the village.

    At night, the old man was worried. He got up and went to the field to take a look. He couldn't help being surprised.

    The crops are intact!

    This is an army of hundreds of thousands, and after walking for a whole day, they did not damage a single field.

    The next day, the old man announced the incident and the villagers cheered.  For them, food is fundamental. If the fields are destroyed, what will they use to survive the winter?

    "That's Yangzhou's army, and its commander is Dongyang Hou!" The young man showed his knowledge.

    "It's the Marquis of Dongyang, no wonder!"

    Everyone suddenly realized.

    Who doesn¡¯t know that the righteousness is so thin that Yuntian Dongyanghou?

    Gradually, Liu Ke became the trend in Yanzhou.

    "Whoever doesn't know Dongyang Hou is a short-sighted person.

    This is still a shock among the people. As for the powerful family, they are knowledgeable and amazed at Liu Ke.

    ¡°Throughout the ages, no one has been able to do this. It may be simple to say it is simple, but when it is implemented, there will be a lot of trouble.¡±

    In ancient times, Sun Wu killed two concubines of King Wu in order to train his troops.

    And Cao Cao also played the trick of cutting off his hair to replace his head.

    But what did Liu Ke do?

    Nothing was done.

    Because in normal times, this training never stops.

    If you want to join the main battle corps, what matters is not your personal strength, but your teamwork.

    If one person in the team makes a mistake, the entire team will be laughed at. Gradually, a good atmosphere will be developed.

    Liu Ke¡¯s reputation began to spread before he even started to attack the city.

    After Cao Cao learned about it, he was silent for a long time.  He has been operating in Yanzhou for so long, but in terms of prestige, he can't compare to the Marquis of Dongyang.

    He is still the Prime Minister!

    Behind him is the court, the emperor, and the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

    Not only that, when Cao Cao took over Yanzhou, he was impoverished. For this reason, he worked hard and spent countless days and nights to bring the people of Yanzhou to the level of food and clothing.

    However, Cao Cao felt betrayed at this moment.

    The people of Yanzhou actually yearn for the Marquis of Dongyang!

    The sky seems to be falling.

    Cao Cao could barely stand.

    "Lord!" Xi Zhicai called.

    "It's okay, I have gout, it's just a minor illness." Cao Cao covered it up.

    "That's good, that's good. Now that the war is about to begin, my lord must pay attention to his health." Xi Zhicai said. After speaking, he coughed twice hoarsely.

    "Zhicai, are you still talking about me? Look at you, you are so weak, why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look at you?" Cao Cao said.

    "Haha, no need, as long as the master is here, everything will be fine." Xi Zhicai laughed.

    "I like to hear what Zhicai said, it speaks to my heart." Cao Cao said.

    The two of them joked with each other for a while, and then got down to business.

    "The Marquis of Dongyang is coming fiercely, and it seems that he will not give up easily." Cao Cao said.

    "It doesn't matter. As long as our army holds firm, even if Dongyang Marquis is an immortal, there will be flaws." Xi Zhicai said.

    "Now, our army has set up two camps in the north and south in Chenliu, each stationed with 100,000 people. Chenliu's garrison also has 100,000 people, forming a rivalry with each other." Cao Cao said.

    As for why the whole army is not allowed to enter the city, it is very simple. Is it so easy to solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of people eating, drinking and eating?

    Not only is there enough food, but also the firewood for cooking is a big problem.

      Chenliu County is only a medium-sized city. Cao Cao only strengthened the city wall instead of expanding the city.

    In the late Han Dynasty, there were few cities with a population of hundreds of thousands.

    Take Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty as an example. During the reign of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, its population reached more than 246,000.

    These are the people who live within the city walls.

    Chang'an also has many satellite cities, such as Changling, Anling, Yangling, Maoling, and Pingling. Each of these towns has a population of tens of thousands and is placed under the jurisdiction of Chang'an.

    Therefore, the emergence of Dongyang City was really blinding.

    Today, Dahan is the only big city with a population of one million.

    Of course, Chen Liu did not receive such treatment, so Cao Cao only kept a hundred thousand defenders, and other troops were stationed outside the city.

    With painstaking efforts, the defense of the camp is even more impressive than that of the city.

    Otherwise, how could the ancient offensive side be repeatedly gone to the Fangying Village, it would not be good to just flatten it.

    Because it can¡¯t be done.

    The camp was not just a wooden wall, it was the Japanese war village era.

    Even if there is only a wooden wall, piling is still a technical job.

    "My lord's arrangement is perfect." Xi Zhicai said.

    "I plan to call back Yuan Rang's army." Cao Cao said.

    Xiahou Dun¡¯s 100,000 troops are still in Jizhou.

    Now that Yanzhou is shouldering heavy responsibilities and Jizhou is safe and sound, Xiahou Dun is of no use in Jizhou.

    "This is what it should be." Xi Zhicai agreed. Only when all the troops are mobilized can they have a chance to win.

    "Also, to request reinforcements from Yuan Shao, who would be a more appropriate envoy to send?" Cao Cao said.

    The reason why Cao Cao was hesitant was because Yanzhou had not started fighting yet and the situation was not yet clear.

    According to Yuan Shao¡¯s character, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t support him now.

    Because everyone was afraid that Liu Ke would make a false shot and turn around to attack Jizhou.

    "Yuan Benchu ??lost Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and his courage has become weak. I think Zhong Yao is capable of the job." Xi Zhicai said.

    "Zhong Yao is prudent in his work. It's okay to leave it to him. He will bring in at least 200,000 troops." Cao Cao said.

    It is basically impossible to let Yuan Shao come out in full force.

    If we can bring in an army of 200,000, we should have no problem holding on.  By then Yanzhou will have a total of 600,000 troops. If it still cannot be defended, Cao Cao will have nothing to say.

    "I don't know what moves Dongyang Hou will use." Cao Cao sighed.

    Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and said, "Why don't we take action first?"

    "Zhicai, what's the best strategy?" Cao Cao said.

    "The prestige of Dongyang Marquis is growing, so we will add fuel to his fire. Dongyang Marquis has been regarded as a traitor by the court. Now this rebel attacks the court, it must be to ascend to the throne." Xi Zhicai said.

    Having reached a position like the Marquis of Dongyang, besides the throne, what else could attract him?

    "This plan is feasible!" Cao Cao said, at least it can disgust people.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
