The Battle of Princes Worldwide Online

296 Union
Zhao Yun and Maitekai successfully returned to Wuyang City after only "walking" for two days.

Before that, Yang Xiuqing and Xu Shu also returned to the city first.

Seeing that all the people on both sides had completed the task, Lu Cheng's heart was finally relieved.

The only thing that worried him now was Zhang Liao and his party who went to Qingzhou alone.

This time Zhang Liao only brought more than [-] entourages, and his identity has also changed, becoming a caravan from Yizhou.

This approach is also out of prudent considerations. It is not easy to obtain the essential techniques of peace. There are many forces involved in it. Confucianism alone is not easy to deal with.

Therefore, before departure, Lucheng did not give Zhang Liao a death order, and if it was impossible, there was no need to take this risk.

……

Yizhou is [-] kilometers away from Qingzhou. This distance, let alone the present, would take a lot of time even in the previous life when the transportation network extended in all directions.

After more than ten days of rushing, the group traveled through Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and finally went north and entered the boundary of Xuzhou.

Here, Han Gaozu Liu Bang is infinitely close to unification.

Faced with this kind of force, Zhang Liao naturally did not dare to act rashly. In addition to dispatching scouts to investigate the intelligence first, he even set up camp in the border area of ​​Xuzhou.

The scout army responsible for investigating intelligence this time is not an ordinary army, but an exclusive unit that has learned the skills of white eyes and soft fist.

Use its powerful perception and sensitivity to energy.

In just a few days, the troops and subordinates of the entire Xuzhou were thoroughly investigated.

According to intelligence, Liu Bang has as many as 30 exclusive arms!
This is an unbelievable number, and just thinking about it gives chills down the spine.

To put it bluntly, if these 30 exclusive units are used to deal with Lucheng, there is no need to consider any tactics at all, just pull them over and push them flat.

As a leading general, Zhang Liao knew all too well the role of the 30 troops. If he thought of the situation in Yangzhou, a bad premonition would arise.

Today's Yangzhou is extremely chaotic. To the north is Zhu Yuanzhang who occupies Jiujiang County, Danyang County and Lujiang County, and to the southwest is Sun Jian and Sun Ce father and son who occupy Wu County and Kuaiji County.

As for Sima Rui, he relied on Yuzhang County to support himself. If it weren't for his god-level soldiers, Beifu soldiers, he would have been wiped out by Zhu Yuanzhang long ago.

However, this situation can't last for long. Zhu Yuanzhang already has the ability to fight on two fronts. As long as he is determined to attack Sima Rui, the opponent will never be spared.

In fact, this is exactly what Zhang Liao is happy to see, because he is afraid that Liu Bang from the north will interfere.

If Liu Bang has the heart to attack Yangzhou, it will definitely trigger a series of chain reactions.

In the end, it was Yizhou who was injured. It seems a bit far-fetched to say so, but if you think about it in depth, you will find that this was deliberately done by other forces.

The forces in other states and counties are fighting less and less, but Yizhou is fighting more and more.

There were Song Jiang and Fang La before, and Liu Yu, Chen Baxian, Xiao Yan and others joined later.

If you count Sima Rui, Sun Jian and even Liu Biao who may enter Yizhou this time.

For a long time to come, Yizhou will fall into a vicious circle of constant battles.

No matter how large the population of Yizhou is, it cannot withstand such a toss.

And a Yizhou that cannot be unified is also in the interests of several surrounding forces. Whether it is Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, or Liu Bang, they do not want a strong ruler in Yizhou.

Yizhou's geographical location is very good, and it also has its own system, which is completely a country within a country.

This is also an excellent way out. Once the hegemony fails, retreat to Yizhou and make a comeback.

For Zhang Liao, a dead Sima Rui is more in the interests of Yizhou, and Yizhou can no longer stand this kind of toss.

Moreover, Li Shimin, Yizhou's biggest enemy, has already occupied most of Jingzhou's land, and Jingzhou can be unified within half a year at most. Under such circumstances, the best ending is that Zhu Yuanzhang unifies Yangzhou, and Sun Jian and Sima Rui die!
Next to Jingzhou, there must be a force that can check and balance him.

Only in this way can we win time for the Lord, a time to unify Yizhou!
But after seeing the situation in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao was really scared. With Liu Bang's ability, it was impossible not to see the current situation. Even if Liu Bang was confused for a while, Zhang Liang and Xiao He under him were not vegetarians.

If you think about it in your own shoes, it is very likely that Liu Bang will join forces with Li Shimin, and one of them will attack Yangzhou, and the other will attack Yizhou. This is also in the best interest of both parties.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Liao felt a palpitation. He waved his hand to summon a scout soldier, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After doing all this, Zhang Liao still felt unsafe, and then took out the paper, intending to report his thoughts to Lucheng himself.

……

And Zhang Liao's worries were not wrong. Liu Bang had sent envoys to Jingzhou ten days ago, and he was also ready to attack Yangzhou.

For Liu Bang, Yangzhou at this time is basically a piece of fat, and the three forces are fighting each other, and the situation can be described as extremely chaotic.

At this time, taking it all at once would not only get rid of a great enemy, but also bring the Land of Fish and Rice into his pocket. Faced with such a good thing, how could Liu Bang let it go.

As for handing over Yizhou to Li Shimin, Liu Bang didn't think it was a pity.

Only the benefits you get are your own, and everything else is false.

Although Zhang Liao was a little worried about Liu Bang's thoughts, he also thought too much about it. He only rested for a day before heading north again.

Since the survey has been done before, it will be much easier to plan the roadmap this time.

A group of people successfully entered the Qingzhou boundary without encountering any obstacles.

There are two counties and four countries in the whole Qingzhou, a total of 65 counties, and the government is located in Linzi County.

In fact, there are fierce people in Qingzhou, such as Wang Mang, the traverser, and Yuan Shao, who is the fourth generation and third prince!

But in terms of influence, the sage Kong Qiu is still bigger, and today's Confucianism has already expressed its attitude, that is to "cultivate" Kong Rong, Prime Minister of the North Sea!

A large number of Confucian scholars began to enter Kong Rong's army, which also made Kong Rong, who was about to be wiped out, seem to be brought back to life. Not only did he stabilize the inherent territory of Beihai Kingdom, he even occupied Donglai County, and Donglai County The original owner was none other than Zhang Jiao.

As guessed before, this corner was indeed destroyed by Confucianism!
