In the past, Hebei had the most troops, the most money and food, and could be called the most powerful prince Yuan Shao. He had always been the most active one among the previous anti-Jin alliances.
Yuan Shao has never been absent from the past several major battles against the Jin Dynasty. In fact, he was the main force in every major battle against the Jin Dynasty. In every battle, he can be said to have sent the largest number of troops.
That one.
In the previous anti-Jin wars, he could be said to have made tremendous contributions. He was even hailed by Liu Bei as a die-hard loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a role model for the Qing Han Dynasty in the world.
But no matter what, in such an important anti-Jin war, in this big war where he finally no longer had to face the powerful elites of the Jin army, Yuan Shao actually withered.
It's not that Yuan Shao doesn't want to continue to participate in this anti-Jin war, but he can no longer be the main force in it, and can only coordinate one or two.
It was really intentional but powerless. Yuan Shao also wanted to wave his hand and send out hundreds of thousands of troops to take advantage of this opportunity to have a good fight with the Jin army without having to face those powerful passes of the Jin army. However, the actual situation was not the same.
allow.
I just finished talking about the war in Youzhou, and I really can’t move anymore!
Moreover, what worried Yuan Shao was the departure of military advisor Fan Li. On the battlefield in Youzhou, this military advisor who had just joined also contributed a lot. But the battle in Youzhou had just ended, and this military advisor came directly and left without saying goodbye. In fact,
It gave Yuan Shao a little stimulation.
Of course Fan Li has to leave. The agreement he made with the Jin army has been fulfilled, so the Jin army should fulfill his promise and let him go and live in seclusion.
Although the Jin army also tried their best to invite him to become an official in the court during this period, Fan Li was not as ambitious about fame and fortune as others, and he did not have to be an official!
Secondly, the more top people are, the more they would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. How involved is the internal affairs of the Jin army now? If he cuts in half way at this time, he will be able to be the six ministers in his lifetime.
one of the locations?
Don’t forget, there are so many people in Jin Jun’s own home, and they are still queuing up!
If he really wanted to continue his career in these troubled times, it would be better to make do with Yuan Shao instead of joining the Jin army.
Therefore, for Fan Li, instead of going to the Jin army to be the king of scrolls, wouldn't it be nice to go home and hug his wife and children to warm the bed, and at the same time save a family fortune for his son that could last ten lifetimes?
With Yuan Shao's current situation, he can barely make do as an assistant, but if he becomes the main force, it would really be a bit difficult for Brother Benchu!
Therefore, Yuan Shao sent troops to block the main road from Huguan to Sizhou, and then went straight to Sizhou to kill.
Yuan Shao's purpose was just to contain the Jin army's troops in these two places. This was the only thing he could do. As for the Central Plains war, he could not get involved.
Of course, it is not true that Yuan Shao did not send any soldiers to the battlefield of the Central Plains, he just did not send large-scale troops and horses. Considering that Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry was insufficient, Yuan Shao used Yuan Chonghuan as his general and sent Guan Ning's cavalry to the battlefield.
A group of cavalry was sent to the Central Plains.
Furthermore, only Guan Ning's cavalry went out. Although other troops and horses were mobilized, they were still within Jizhou, also to protect You Qin in the north.
However, since the last war, Guan Ning's cavalry suffered considerable losses. Although Yuan Shao replenished them after that, they were still no longer in their heyday.
If Yuan Shao's situation is like this, Qin Zheng in Youzhou will only be worse than him!
Although Qin Zheng also wanted to bite the bullet and send an army of 100,000 to participate in this war and be the protagonist in it as before, but he had no choice but to have the confidence after all!
After looking around in the east and supplementing in the west, he took out 20,000 cavalry and sent them to the battlefield in the Central Plains to help Zhao Kuangyin. Moreover, he was not responsible for handling the food and grass himself.
Of course, for Zhao Kuangyin, the twenty thousand cavalry could be said to be a timely rain from heaven, giving him more confidence when facing the Jin army's cavalry.
Zhao Kuangyin's forces, or Zhu Yuanzhang's forces in the south, faced the Jin army, and cavalry was always an inevitable disadvantage for them.
The forces of Liu Bei and Dou Jiande were even more direct. Dou Jiande sent 120,000 troops and Liu Bei sent 150,000 troops. These two were definitely true allies. The two families gathered 270,000 troops to go to the Central Plains.
Liu Beijun's White Horse Yi Cong, White Ear Army, Xiao Swordsman and many other powerful troops were among the troops that went on the expedition, while Dou Jiande's Liaodong Jingqi were also on the expedition.
Regarding this battle, Liu Bei was actually in a very bad mood.
Not only because the battle launched by the Jin army opened the way for the Jin army to unify the world, it was a battle that Liu Bei could never afford to lose.
What's more, the Jin army started this war, disrupting all the plans of the Liu Bei Group.
In the Central Plains War, Zhao Kuangyin was the winner, and Liu Bei and Dou Jiande were also winners.
During this battle, although the Central Plains was almost broken, Liu Bei and Dou Jiande still expanded a large amount of territory each.
After all, Liu Bei's men are crowded with talents of all kinds, including the best of the Han Dynasty, clansmen, princes, and various political talents. In terms of recuperation and recuperation, Liu Bei's speed of recuperation is definitely unmatched by Dou Jiande's forces.
Therefore, Liu Bei had actually made plans to further send troops to Dou Jiande's forces.
Although Yuan Shao was theoretically weaker at this time, Yuan Shao was Liu Bei's model of loyalty to the Qing Han Dynasty, and Dou Jiande's territory was surrounded by Liu Bei's territory on both sides, giving him a natural strategic advantage.
Once Dou Jiande's territory is captured, Liu Bei's forces will be completely integrated into one. Unexpectedly, there is a possibility that Qingzhou will be divided into two halves by Dou Jiande like before.
The reason why the two families could coexist peacefully in Qingzhou before was that although Liu Bei was stronger, his strength was limited and could not form an absolute advantage. There was a possibility that Dou Jiande would separate his territory from Qingzhou, so they were afraid of each other.
No one dares to take the lead easily.
But Liu Bei, who has received the support of the remaining forces of Liu Che and Liu Xiu, has greatly increased his strength in all aspects. Now, he can recuperate more quickly, but Dou Jiande is still a little worse. If he can't think of anything at this time, he will have no choice but to do so in the future.
It's an infinite pull.
Therefore, at this time, Liu Bei would inevitably have something on his mind.
However, he had just come up with this idea, and had just started planning this matter with his counselors, but at this time, the Jin army launched a war that swept the world.
All those thoughts were forcefully stuffed back.
Liu Bei prepared to painstakingly plan a war against Dou Jiande, but it ended before it even started.
