After giving instructions to Ma Chao, Xu Wenhao turned to look at Huang Zhong.

"Huang Zhong, you will lead 5000 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp and 5 troops to Qishan to build a fortress. After Ma Chao takes Hanzhong, you will attack from both sides and take over the entire Yizhou in one fell swoop."

Xu Wenhao also turned to look at Huang Zhong who had been waiting for a long time and told him his deployment.

These 5 troops and the Xianzhen Camp were dispatched by Sili and Luoyang, while Ma Chao's side could be deployed by Zhang Liao.

The Xianzhen Camp is very offensive when fighting at this kind of pass, much stronger than normal infantry.

There are several dangerous passes in Yizhou, which is why Xu Wenhao didn't want to move before.

But now the wind wants to stop but the trees are not still. Since Liu Bian still has illusions, Xu Wenhao will shatter them!

"Here!"

Huang Zhong immediately accepted the order after hearing the arrangement.

"When you pass through Chang'an, take Jia Xu with you and make him your deputy general. If you have anything to discuss, discuss it with him."

"The main thing is to investigate the situation in South Central and prepare for the next strategic step."

Xu Wenhao also assigned Jia Xu to Huang Zhong as a military advisor.

Ma Chao could just deal with Zhang Lu head-on, but it was different for Huang Zhong.

There are several foreign tribes nearby, so he needs someone who understands the local customs and strategies, and that person is naturally Jia Xu.

He had always lived in Liangzhou and other places, and had some understanding of foreign races, making him very suitable to help Huang Zhong.

"I will finally understand!"

Huang Zhong is also a middle-aged general, so he naturally knows how to consider the big picture.

Unlike Ma Chao, who already showed his passion on his face, and was eager to rush to Hanzhong and ask Zhang Lu to fight him one-on-one.

Following Xu Wenhao's mobilization, the various units in Luoyang, which had not seen a war for several years, also quickly took action.

After all, the soldiers under Xu Wenhao's command are all elite soldiers and have been well fed and well-dressed over the years, but they have not neglected training.

On the contrary, if the other soldiers were sent outside, they would definitely be elite troops. This is why Xu Wenhao dared to give Huang Zhong only 5 soldiers and let him go out to attack Yizhou.

When Xu Wenhao made this move, other princes immediately sent people to investigate.

The princes breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the troops were being mobilized towards Yizhou.

"Time waits for no one. Lu Fengxian is too strong. If we slow down any further, it will be too late for us by the time he turns around."

Cao Cao also told Guo Jia about the transfer in Luoyang.

"My lord, please take it one step at a time."

"General Lu also had more than 10 soldiers and horses accumulated in Bingzhou for many years, and only with the help of Luoyang did he officially rise to power."

"It's all a matter of time. Now you have three states. As long as you take over Shouchun in Huainan and stabilize the internal affairs, you may not be without the ability to fight."

"Besides, if one of us is dead, we will be in trouble. Yuan Shao is not stupid, so he will naturally be on guard against General Lu together."

Guo Jia also analyzed the situation.

"Well, I am clear about this. For now, we still need to seize Central Plains as soon as possible."

"The people outside the Great Wall are tough and not easy to control. I should have about 10 years left."

Cao Cao quickly regained his confidence and deduced the time Xu Wenhao would need.

Yuan Shao's staff also had the same idea. They all wanted to recuperate as soon as possible and wait until they could take over the Central Plains before having a decisive battle with Xu Wenhao.

Liu Bei, who was fighting in Xiaopei and Shouchun, was a little dazed.

Mainly, he thought of the letter he received after arriving in Xiaopei a few days ago, and he was a little confused for a moment.

The letter contained some of Liu Bian's requests for help, as well as his appreciation for his uncle.

What about giving him a status as soon as he occupies Huainan, letting him occupy Huainan, and helping each other with Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and then using the forces outside the Great Wall headed by Liu Zhang of Yizhou to guard Yizhou and wait for the right opportunity.

After that, Liu Bei could be regarded as a loyal vassal and be granted an official title and a higher rank.

But now, less than two weeks after receiving the letter, he hasn't even taken Huainan yet, and Xu Wenhao is about to launch an attack on Yizhou.

It is conceivable that Luoyang discovered changes that he was unaware of, and at the same time he was exhausted from the battle in Huainan.

The main reason was that Liu Bei had no expert help, and could only rely on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to fight against Yuan Shu's army.

Even Xu Shu was not introduced to Liu Bei until 201 AD when Liu Bei went to Xinye near Jingzhou. Now Liu Bei still needs to rely on himself to lose a few more times before he understands the importance of a counselor.

Sun Jian was not so active after taking Lujiang. After all, although he and Yuan Shu had an irreconcilable feud, he still had to consider his soldiers.

It was impossible for him to occupy Huainan, mainly because Cao Cao would not give him the opportunity.

Instead of going to great lengths to capture Huainan and then make wedding dresses for others, it would be better to stop there after taking Lujiang.

In fact, Sun Jian wanted to send troops to Jingzhou, but unfortunately he was short of troops, so he could only continue to conserve his strength and wait for the right opportunity.

This side of Luoyang.

Some people who were thoughtful quickly understood what Xu Wenhao meant by this mobilization and became frightened.

Asking them to fight may not be very interesting, but they are good at research.

Otherwise, they would not have encouraged Liu Bian to contact the Liu clan members at this time. Unfortunately, Xu Wenhao's thundering momentum really scared them.

In the next six months, Huang Zhong's troops arrived in Qishan one after another to build a fortress.

As for Liu Zhang, his father Liu Yan had just died less than a year ago, and he didn't even know the specific situation of his troops. How could he possibly lead an army to counterattack?

He was also afraid that Xu Wenhao's move was a threat, and if he took action first, it would give others an excuse, so he obediently played the blind man and allowed Huang Zhong to station his troops in Qishan.

Ma Chao's side was ready for real. After arriving in Chang'an, he handed Xu Wenhao's letter to Zhang Liao and immediately began to prepare.

After years of recuperation, Chang'an's military strength has reached 13. It is more than enough to assign 5 troops to Ma Chao to attack Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu didn't expect that he would be the first one to be beaten before he even said a word. Naturally, he would not surrender easily. He even wanted to have a good fight with Ma Chao.

Seeing that things were developing as he had imagined, Xu Wenhao continued to stay at home.

Recently, Diao Chan gave birth to a daughter for Xu Wenhao. After recovering, she was not idle and started teaching a female dance troupe, some of whom were recently sent by Xu Chu from the Western Region Chief's Mansion.

Don’t be fooled by their not being famous, but in addition to their looks, these dancers also have incredibly flexible bodies.

At the same time, the customs of various ethnic groups have a kind of charm that cannot be compared with modern things like "Ji Ni Tai", "ugh", or "girl group dance with hips shaking".

Xu Wenhao was naturally not a saint in ancient times, so he just waved his hand and brought all the girls into the room.

Diao Chan had naturally thought about this scene a long time ago. She discovered that Xu Wenhao attached great importance to them, his wives, which made her, who was also a dancer, feel guilty, so she deliberately arranged this scene.
