The roaring Yellow River flows eastward from the foot of Kunlun Mountain and into the sea.

The majestic Yellow River splits the Central Plains into north and south sides, and huge waves are often set off on this long river.

At this moment, the two armies are facing each other on both sides of the Yellow River. On the north bank is Yuan Shao's 400,000-strong army, and on the south bank is the 100,000-strong coalition of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

It has been 3 months since the war started. The coalition forces have fought consecutively and successfully, with more victories than defeats. They have blocked Yuan Shao's army on the north bank without a trace of temper.

Liu Bei's sworn brother Guan Yu even beheaded two of Yuan Shao's generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, which shocked the entire army.

In three months, Cao Cao lost 10,000 men, Liu Bei 5,000, and Yuan Shao even more, losing 50,000 troops and horses. The coalition forces won a great victory despite being outnumbered and outnumbered, which can be said to be a remarkable achievement.

But you must know that Yuan's army is four times larger than the coalition's! Now there are 85,000 coalition forces left, but Yuan Shao has 350,000 left.

Just looking at this number gives me a sense of frustration.

No matter how you win, you can't win. If you make one wrong move, you will be in the abyss!

Cao Cao needs a decisive victory! Otherwise, in the end, I'm afraid it will just be a wedding dress for others. After all, this is an era of feudal princes competing for hegemony. If nothing else, Dong Zhuo wants to kill Cao Cao and then be quick.

This time, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor at the right time, because there were only three people bordering Dong Zhuo's territory: Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Jingzhou Liu Biao and Cao Cao. Zhang Lu was weak, and if Hanzhong wasn't Shuchuan sandwiched between Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo

I am afraid that the two men would have destroyed the family long ago. Cao Cao was held back by Yuan Shao, so Liu Biao naturally did not have the courage to go to war with Dong Zhuo alone.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor and was denounced by all the princes, but he still sat firmly in Chang'an.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu didn't understand this truth. He thought that a new era had arrived and he could do whatever he wanted. So he took out his jade seal and held a grand ceremony in Shouchun, announcing to the world that he had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and named the country ""

List".

This angered Liu Bei and Liu Biao. You should know that both of them claimed to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and proclaimed themselves King of Han. Now Yuan Shu actually took the Han Dynasty's jade seal and proclaimed himself emperor! If they didn't react, wouldn't the people of the world regard them as emperor?

Yuan Shu's minister?

The next day after Liu Bei received the news, he appointed a scholar named Xu Shu as his military advisor, and mobilized all the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou to march westward to attack Yuan Shu. As expected, Liu Biao responded to Liu Bei and mobilized half of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou 6

Ten thousand troops marched eastward to attack Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu panicked and quickly ordered his envoys to go to Jiangdong. He appointed his former subordinate Sun Ce as the King of Wu.

Sun Ce didn't even see Yuan Shu's envoy. After reading Yuan Shu's edict covered with a jade seal, he sneered and threw it to the ground. But he still decided to send troops.

The war is about to break out.

······

At this moment, Sun Ce convened his counselors and generals in the hall of the prefect's mansion to start a battle meeting.

Among them were six counselors: Zhou Yu, Ji Shu, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, Huang Yueying, and Hua Xin; and seven generals: Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Xu Sheng.

A huge sand table was placed in the middle of the hall, roughly showing the cities, ports, terrain, and rivers in Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and Yangzhou before everyone's eyes. Sun Ce pointed at Shouchun and said.

"To the east of Shouchun is Pengcheng Fortress, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the only place between Shouchun and Xiaopei. Liu Bei's 40,000 troops have marched to Xiaopei, and Yuan Shu has also stationed 40,000 troops in Pengcheng.

As long as Yuan Shu's men are not too stupid, the battle situation will not change much in a short period of time."

"To the west of Shouchun is Shiting. Liu Biao has sent Cai Mao to command a 60,000-strong army. At this moment, he is confronting Yuan Shu's 50,000-strong army here. Yuan Shu wants us to start from the Lujiang River and attack Liu Biao's flank. The two armies will work together to defeat Liu Biao.

Army, turn back to deal with Liu Bei."

Seeing the generals nodding thoughtfully, Sun Ce was about to continue, but was interrupted by Zhou Tai.

"Lord, why should we help this idiot Yuan Shu?"

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing when he heard this, looked at Zhou Yu and Ji Shu, and began to tell everyone the real plan.

"Who said you want to help Yuan Shu? Youping, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

"This time I plan to announce that I will send 40,000 troops to help Yuan Shu resist Liu Biao. In fact, this is not the case. This time we will send an army of 65,000 troops, divided into two groups."

As he spoke, he pointed at Shiting with his baton.

"The first group of 25,000 people was personally commanded by me. Zhou Yu, Hua Xin, Zhao Yun, and Zhou Tai went with the army. We went to Shiting, ostensibly to support Yuan Shu, but in fact it was a feint attack, with the purpose of holding Liu Biao back.

60,000 troops.”

Then Sun Ce pointed to Jiang Xia and said.

"The second group of 40,000 people will be commanded by Ji Shu. Zhuge Jin, Huang Yueying, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, and Xu Sheng will accompany the army. Your goal is to capture Jiangxia County as quickly as possible, and then turn around and go behind Cai Hao.

Anlu, and formed an encirclement with us to annihilate Liu Biao's army."

"By the time we capture Jiangxia and annihilate Cai Mao, most of the entire Jingzhou army will have been wiped out. Who cares how Yuan Shu and Liu Bei fight? We will attack from Jiangxia and Chaisang and annex the entire Jingzhou in one fell swoop!"

"As for the two uncles Cheng Pu and Huang Gai who are skilled in the navy, please rush to Chaisang with Lu Su and join forces with Zhu Zhi to guard against Liu Biao's navy. If Liu Biao's navy is found to be supporting Jiangxia or sending troops to attack Jiangdong, they must be driven back.

.”

After listening to Sun Ce's words, many generals who didn't know the plan suddenly became very excited. Everyone stood up and clasped their fists and replied: "Take orders!"

······

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of drums shook the sky, and flags were everywhere.

Ji Shu stood on the military platform and inspected the army.

Jiang Qin, Xu Tu, and Hou Cheng stood at the front of the team, with three orderly military formations behind them.

Three months have passed since the establishment of this army until now when it is about to go on an expedition. This motley army has also transformed a lot, at least there is a brilliance in the eyes of the soldiers.

Looking at Ji Shu on the stage, many soldiers were filled with gratitude.

After all, they were prisoners who participated in the failed rebellion of the famous family and surrendered. The original outcome was either to be beheaded or to be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield. Who would have thought that Ji Shu would give them the same treatment as ordinary soldiers.

Enmity must be avenged and kindness must be repaid. The soldiers actually thought very simply.

Although this miscellaneous army still needs to be baptized by the fire of war, they at least already have the cohesion that an elite army should have.

"From now on, your designation will be 'Habayashi Army'. Remember this name! From now on, you will be proud of this name!"

Ji Shu looked at the soldiers in the audience and announced loudly.

"Habayashi Army?"

"Hey, brother, what does this name mean?"

"I don't know, but it sounds pretty good."

The soldiers below began to whisper. Although they just wanted to whisper a few words, it became a bit noisy when 6,000 people were mixed together.

Looking at the soldiers below, Ji Shu was a little silent. Probably none of them knew the weight of the three words "Yulin Army".

I am afraid that apart from Ji Shu and Yueying standing beside him, not even the three commanders Jiang Qin, Xu Tu and Hou Cheng understood.

Ji Shu did not explain it to them, because they were not qualified to understand the weight of these three words now.

To be honest, Ji Shu didn't want to choose this name at first, but Wang Yun's death still touched him a little.

I would rather be broken jade than a tile!

In the end, Wang Yun at least showed the world the character of a strong man, and Ji Shu wanted the army in front of him to inherit this character.

Looking at the new army that was gradually becoming quieter below, Ji Shu felt a little emotional.

The expedition was about to begin, and when Ji Shu approached Sun Ce to decide on a name for the new army, Sun Ce also widened his eyes and looked at Ji Shu in disbelief.

Ji Shu knew what he meant. If he didn't have a successful record in the future, wouldn't this name make the princes laugh?

But Ji Shu has no fear, he has already determined to turn this army into an elite division.

Shouting "Great Wind", this new army of Yulin set out to fight.

At this time, they still didn't know how proud the army that once shouted "Great Wind" was, and how heavy an oath these two words were.

They don't know the Great Wind Song yet, let alone the expectations placed in it.

But it doesn't matter, Ji Shu will teach them, whether it's the weight of "Yulin Army", the pride of the word "gale", or the gale song. Ji Shu is ready to teach them.

After saying hello to Yueying, Ji Shu went to see other armies. Now that Sun Ce had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he couldn't just focus on this side.
Chapter completed!
