Chapter 215 Unexpected Military Power

The seven years of Zhongping have passed, and the time has come to February of the eighth year of Zhongping. During the open-air sacrifice, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the coalition army. A few days later, Yuan Shao officially sent troops. After all, the daily consumption of food and grass by millions of soldiers was terrifying.

The army came to respond to his call, and it was impossible for them to send troops and pay back food.

Almost all the food used by the army was borne by Yuan Shao. Where did Yuan Shao get the food, of course it was provided by Han Fu of Jizhou and some princes.

But no matter how rich Jizhou is, it is impossible to provide this food all the time.

Yuan Shao dispatched troops. After discussion, he implemented the policy of dividing troops and divided into three groups. The first route took Hanoi County as the main battlefield and threatened the northeast of Luoyang.

All the way to the Hulao Pass in the east of Luoyang, and finally to the Yique Pass in the south of Luoyang.

Among the three armies, the Nanyang side is the least, and can only be a partial division. However, Yuan Shu is the leader of Nanyang, so this army is in charge of him. There are six princes in total, with a total army of one million.

In the land of Hanoi, there are 800,000 princes consisting of Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Kong Nisufan and others.

Also be a partial teacher.

The main force was the many princes of the Central Plains, led by Yuan Shao, who gathered at Hulao Pass to conquer Dong Zhuo's army with a strong frontal force.

As soon as the plan came out, many princes also began to move out their troops.

Su Fan followed Tao Qian to Hanoi.

Because Tao Qian and Kong Ni Su Fan were close to each other in the coalition army camp before, and the three of them had more troops, so after the three formed a group, they had the greatest say in the group.

Don't look at everyone who was amiable before, but they didn't know each other or what they were thinking.

"Ning An, in this big battle, the old man's Danyang soldiers will be in your command. Ning An, you have to show the power of our Xuzhou."

After the army was launched, Tao Qian approached Su Fan, pulled Su Fan and said.

"Mr. Tao, isn't this bad?"

Su Fan was a little surprised, but on the surface he pretended to be difficult.

"What's the problem? I don't have any generals under my command. Let them deal with bandits and bandits. They may still have some ability, but they can't do it against Dong Zhongying's elite."

"You have the ability to lead troops, and I see that you have a strong army, and there are several generals. I will let you command my soldiers and horses, so I feel more at ease."

Su Fan didn't know whether Tao Qian was sincere or probing, but in the end Su Fan accepted it.

Of course, Su Fan reckoned that the other party might eventually compromise because of fear of him, and then befriend him.

Tao Qian didn't have any ambitions to dominate. He was already old, and his descendants didn't have much success.

Although he controls most of the army in Xuzhou's military and government, when he is there, he will still make those people in Xuzhou afraid. If he leaves, he will offend many people over the years.

Who can protect his family.

In the Romance, Tao Qian entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei in order to keep his family, which is probably what he meant.

So when Su Fan returned to the military tent and found Xi Zhicai, when he mentioned this, Xi Zhicai smiled and explained.

"So, it's a good thing for me, and it will be easier to plan Xuzhou in the future."

Su Fan was really happy.

"Congratulations, my lord"

Xi Zhicai also congratulated with a smile.

When they planned to capture Xuzhou before, they were also thinking about how to deal with Tao Qian. After all, Tao Qian had served as the governor of Xuzhou for several years.

And his prestige in Xuzhou is relatively high.

It was not easy for Su Fan to take down Xuzhou without bloodshed.

But now there seems to be a new chapter.

"If Governor Tao is sincere, it would be the best for the lord."

"Zhicai, do you think this is Tao Qian's sincerity, or is he showing weakness on purpose?" No wonder Su Fan thought so, even though Xi Zhicai also explained Tao Qian's reason for doing this just now, it was to ensure that family.

But why did he choose him? Could it be that those aristocratic families in Xiapi, such as the Chen family, couldn't guarantee Tao Qian's family?

"My lord, no matter what Tao Qian's purpose is this time, since he has handed over the military power to the lord, the lord will control it first. It is best to let Xuan Gao, uncle, nephew and generals, after the war is over, go Can subdue these Danyang soldiers"

"The dove occupies the magpie's nest!"

Su Fan instantly understood Xi Zhicai's thoughts and nodded without any shame.

If Tao Qian really wants to hand over military power and even the future Xuzhou, then he is treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

At worst, he can make the Tao family prosper in the future. For him, this is just a matter of convenience.

But if Tao Qian wanted to plot against him, then it would be nothing if he did so.

"So, Zhicai, you need to worry more."

"My lord, don't worry"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

The alliance army in Kanto set out in three directions, and the army was launched with great momentum. Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Luoyang, had already known about it.

Facing the allied forces of the princes in the Kanto region.

Dong Zhuo was actually a little flustered in his heart.

"Master, the Kwantung Allied Forces are attacking in three directions. It seems that they want to allocate your troops, but in fact they are just looking for death."

"For the three armies attacking Luoyang, only Hulao Pass in the east is the main force, with more than three million troops."

"However, Hulao Pass is the most powerful pass in the world. As long as Xiangye sends elites to sit there, it will be safe. Although there are many coalition troops, they are not in the same heart, and most of them are recruits. They are not the opponent of Xiangye at all."

"As for Yique Pass in the south, my lord can send Hua Xiong Li Su to sit there, and there are another 100,000 troops. Although this pass is not as dangerous as Hulao Pass, it is still easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"As for the 800,000 army horses in Kanto, Hanoi, Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang are quite dirty. If they mix together, it's still good if they don't fight among themselves."

"Master Xiang can send General Niu Fu to sit in town."

As Dong Zhuo's adviser, Li Ru naturally saw the worry in Dong Zhuo's eyes, so he got up and said.

As someone who can assist Dong Zhuo and support him from a young general at the border to the prime minister who is now in power for the rest of his life, Li Ru's ability is naturally not bad.

His foresight and vision are rare in the world.

Many people in the Xiliang army may be afraid of the millions of troops in the Kanto, but in his eyes, the princes of the Kanto are not a big threat at all.

First of all, the people of the Guandong princes are not united, which is their greatest advantage. Secondly, most of the troops of the Guandong princes are recruits, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

Secondly, Luoyang is surrounded by mountains and majestic passes, and they also have an advantage in terms of terrain.

In the end, they still have the little emperor in their hands, and they are basically invincible.

Therefore, he was not worried at all.

The only thing that may be worrying is the interior of Luoyang City. After all, as Luoyang City, more than 80% of the court ministers here refuse to accept the Prime Minister.

This is the biggest threat.
