Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

In a few days, in Bingzhou, Liu Yao has integrated his army, and the iron cavalry is ready to go.

The First and Sixth Legions, like two dragons playing with a pearl, gathered again at the border of Youzhou, with a strong fighting spirit in the clouds.

At the same time, the Fifth and Second Legions were not willing to lag behind, and frequently shuttled between the camp and the fortress. They were as powerful as a rainbow, waiting for an order, and rushed out of Yongzhou like a tiger, and directly attacked the heart of Jizhou.

The world seemed to be shrouded in an invisible tense atmosphere, the sound of the wind was a bit solemn, and the cry of the cranes also added a bit of trembling.

Liu Yao stood on the top of the high platform, with an upright posture and a torch-like gaze, piercing through the layers of clouds and mist, looking straight into the distance. His voice, low and powerful, echoed in every inch of the land that was about to be baptized by war.

"Gongsun Bogui is my brother, we have deep friendship and affection, just like brothers! But Yuan Shao, this man used treacherous tactics to steal Jizhou and imprisoned Han Fu. His behavior is despicable!"

"He even killed my brother with his own hands. This hatred is irreconcilable!"

After saying this, Liu Yao clenched his fists, veins popped, showing his grief and determination. "Today, I stand here and swear to seek justice for my brother!"

Below, Tian Kai and Gongsun Xu met eyes, and instantly understood each other. Then they bent their bodies slightly and saluted in the most respectful manner, with a voice full of sincerity and excitement: "I will obey the orders of the lord, thank you with tears, and swear to be loyal to you until death!"

Liu Yao nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with determination. His words were like a war drum, stirring everyone's heart.

"Pass on my military order! Prepare your army immediately and follow me to personally attack Zhuo County. We are determined to drive out Yuan Shao's bandits, defend our Youzhou territory, and keep our people safe!"

"Yes, sir!" The response was deafening and resounded through the sky.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was like a lion who had just tasted victory. He had just taken Rongcheng under his command. His momentum was strong and he was heading straight for Zhuo County, vowing to take this strategic place into his pocket.

According to Xu You, Youzhou was vast and most of the territory could be generously given to Liu Yao to show sincerity and compromise, but Zhuo County was the only place that could not be given up!

Zhuo County was a dangerous place, like a throat, guarding the key point between the north and the south. If Yuan Shao could station his army here with sufficient food and supplies, he could build an indestructible line of defense to face Liu Yao's fierce army. Imagine that once Zhuo County was lost, Yuan Shao would no longer have a barrier behind him, and the vast hinterland would suddenly become a place without dangers to defend. The cavalry under Liu Yao's command was already known for its lightning speed and invincibility. It is self-evident how the situation would be reversed.

Therefore, Xu You strongly recommended Yuan Shao to take the initiative to seize Zhuo County, and build a copper wall and iron wall based on it, so that Liu Yao's edge would be frustrated here and could not go further.

The fall of Gongsun Zan, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, marked the end of his era in Rongcheng.

Now, under the walls of Zhuo County, the drums of war have not sounded, but the undercurrent has surged, and the victory seems to be quietly tilted towards Yuan Shao. Once this strategic town falls under control, they will be like chess players, mastering the initiative of the situation and advancing and retreating freely.

Even if they are not as good as Liu Yao! Or if the next negotiation with Liu Yao fails, they can also remain invincible, at least they will not break into Jizhou from Youzhou.

At least, the gateway from Youzhou to Jizhou will be firmly guarded by them, and no matter how turbulent the wind and rain are, it will be difficult to shake it.

Zhuo County, the throat connecting the ancient times and Yuyang, is not only a geographical fortress, but also a key chess piece on the strategic chessboard.

And according to the intelligence of the scouts, Liu Yao received his own letter during the march, but all his cavalry were rushing towards Zhuo County.

Yuan Shao could realize that Liu Yao had experienced many battles, and he was also from Zhuo County, and he knew the geographical location of Zhuo County best.

So both sides were fighting to see who could capture Zhuo County the fastest!

Who can take the initiative!

Yuan Shao sat on the central army tent,

Feng Ji stood aside with a faint smile on his face.

"My lord, the threat of Gongsun Zan has been eliminated, and our army is at its peak. Most of Zhuo County is within our grasp, and only Zhuo County is left. It is as easy as taking something out of a bag. However, the art of war says that we should stop when we see the good, so as not to overdo it. Why don't we take this opportunity to consolidate the results of the battle to avoid more troubles?"

"By then, if the attack is blocked, if Liu Yao arrives, our army may fall into a passive position."

Now that the army has fought repeatedly, it has long been exhausted. Once we face the Bingzhou Legion, we are not their opponent when we are at our peak, let alone now?

Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this.

Now that he has won a series of victories and killed Gongsun Zan, the sky is clear and the rain has stopped. Yuan Shao feels that he is ready again.

Just as everyone was hesitating, Xu You flashed, like a storm.He stepped forward, his tone firm and urgent.

"Absolutely not! Zhuo County is the throat of Zhuo County, and its strategic position is not trivial! Once it is taken into the bag, our army's foundation in Zhuo County will be as solid as a rock, and the right to speak will naturally come naturally."

"At that time, as long as we manage it carefully! Zhuo County will be connected! The Bingzhou Army will have no chance to rush in! The lord will have plenty of opportunities to attack Qingzhou!"

"Imagine, if we can carefully plan and connect all parts of Zhuo County like pearls to form an indestructible line of defense, then even if the Bingzhou Army is brave, it will only be a watch from the other side of the river, and it will be difficult to cross this copper wall. At that time, the lord will have unprecedented freedom, and the army will march eastward. Isn't the land of Qingzhou just around the corner?"

"On the contrary, if you abandon Zhuo County, you will hand the sharp blade to the enemy. Liu Yao, that guy In the battlefield, every inch of land in the county will face the danger of being eaten by Yixian County and step by step. Attack! We will be consumed here! " You and Fengji are right, and it makes sense. But if he fails to capture Zhuo County and falls into a state of anxiety, he will have to fight Liu Yao.

Now he has no confidence in fighting Liu Yao. If he fails, this is all he will have left. If he suffers serious losses, he may not be able to go south.
