Just when the news of the shocking change in Yumen was spreading everywhere at the beginning of the year, the Heishan Army, which joined forces with the Xiongwu Army to fight against the imperial coalition on the battlefield in Jizhou, suddenly disappeared overnight. As a result, a huge gap appeared in Guangnian and Guangping, leaving only 30,000 Xiongwu Army struggling to support the defense line from Quzhou to Jingxian in southeastern Jizhou. It was difficult to restrain the 60,000 Southern Army stationed near Ye County.

Zhu Jun, who had always been cautious, was worried that this was a trick played by Jin State to retreat to advance, so he did not immediately lead his army to compete for favorable territory, but instead sent a small group of troops to the Guangping and Guangzong areas to harass him, but did not encounter any counterattack.

Yuan Shu, who was already afraid of Zhang Liao and Li Tiezhu on the battlefield in Xuzhou, ignored the opposition of the court and directly ordered the 30,000 troops who went to Jizhou to support Zhu Jun, led by the commander Jiang Qin, and with the consent of Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Liu Yan in Yuzhou, he returned to Yangzhou through the land of Yanyu.

Zhang Fei, deputy commander of the Southern Army, then suggested that Zhu Jun could take advantage of Jiang Qin's return to the south and test whether the Black Mountain Army in the north was really playing the trick of trying to get.

Zhu Jun felt that Zhang Fei's proposal was feasible, so he asked Zhang Fei to organize 60,000 Southern Army and 50,000 Liu Biao and Liu Yan's army to support Jizhou to carry out a pretend defense replacement operation. It turned out that the Black Mountain Army was still missing. After seeing the Southern Army moving, the Xiongwu Army turned around and retreated to the Nangong Hexindu area of ​​Anping Country.

Zhu Jun and Zhang Fei inferred from this that the Heishan army had withdrawn from Jizhou, either returning to Jin State through Huguan to strengthen Jin State's defense, or retreating to northern Jizhou to strengthen Youzhou's defense.

Since the Jin troops in the battlefield in Jizhou had weak defenses, they had been calculating that the Southern Army heading north would naturally not miss such a great advantage. So Zhang Fei immediately led 30,000 troops and set out from Yecheng to attack Guangping. Without hesitation, he recovered most of the territory of the southern part of Zhao and Julu County, and drove the troops to the southern bank of the Mainland, which was less than a hundred miles away from the heart of Jizhou.

At this time, the Black Mountain Army was still missing, which only means that they had indeed evacuated Jizhou. So Zhu Jun ordered Liu Biao and his troops to support Jizhou. Under the leadership of the main general Huo Jun, they went north to take over the territory captured by Zhang Fei, and then let Zhang Fei, who had been freed, continue to push the troops northward.

In the Yitao City, Lu Bu, the commander of the Jizhou Legion, who had been patient, finally couldn't bear it when he saw Zhang Fei's troops approaching Yitao, and forced the great military advisor Tian Feng to allow him to lead his army out of the city to fight Zhang Fei, but was still dissuaded by Tian Feng, who was firmly sitting on Diaoyutai.

According to the military command system of Jin State, if the military advisor does not agree to the combat plan of the corps, the commander of the corps will not have the power to mobilize the commanding troops alone to fight, and Tian Feng does not agree to Lu Bu going out of the city to fight. Lu Bu really does not have the courage to violate this important command system and lead the troops alone to fight with Zhang Fei.

There is an obvious problem that although Lu Bu is the top leader of the Jizhou Legion, there are only two units under the Jizhou Legion, namely Xiongwu Army and Heishan Army. Among them, the Heishan Army has evacuated from Jizhou, while the Xiongwu Army is led by the commander Pang De. In fact, there are no direct troops in Lu Bu's hands except for the two thousand escorts. How could he lead the army out of the city to fight Zhang Fei's 30,000 troops head-on?

It turned out that although the Black Mountain Army quietly boarded the ship from Bohai County to Dongshengguo in the sea, the Jizhou Legion secretly formed a new force.

The full name of this unit is the First Land War Brigade of the Jin Navy. It is temporarily under the command of the Jizhou Legion. The total number of people is 20,000. The soldiers of the brigade commander Wang Lu. The land war brigade basically comes from the two Danyang soldiers Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, who were captured by Li Tiezhu, in front of Yuan Shu tent.

At that time, Li Tiezhu captured 35,000 people from Yuan Shu. After elimination, 5,000 people were removed. Ten thousand of the remaining 30,000 were assigned to the newly formed Qinghuai Army, and the other 20,000 were transferred from sea routes to northern Jizhou in time and handed directly to Wang Lu, the secretly appointed commander of the land brigade, for reorganization and training.

After the 20,000 Canglang Army led by Zhang Xiu sent back the good news from Fuyu Kingdom, the 30,000 Xiong Ju Army originally stationed in Youzhou, only the heavy equipment division led by Lei Tong and the light army division led by Xian Yuyin were left to 10,000 troops stationed in Yuyang. The remaining mixed cavalry, long-distance division, special combat division and other 20,000 troops led by Ye Xiong and Tianchou, secretly heading south to Jizhou, cooperate with the special combat brigade to prepare for the upcoming goito battle.

Lu Bu only knew that he still had 20,000 land combat brigades available, but he didn't know that the Xiong Fu army who was secretly heading south was still on the road, so he was worried that Yingtao City would be surrounded by Zhang Fei, so he wanted to lead the team out of the city to the west bank of the mainland to stop Zhang Fei, and the Xiongwu Army was defending the east bank.

Tian Feng persuaded Lu Bu, and then proposed to give up the goito pottery, and then lure Zhang Fei to come. In the end, he used 20,000 Xiong Jue Army and 20,000 land combat brigades as the main force to trap the 30,000 Southern Army led by Zhang Fei to kill goito pottery.

Lu Bu asked: "What if the follow-up troops of the Southern Army come to reinforce?"

Tian Feng replied with a relaxed look: "Thirty thousand Xiongwu Army is enough to block the enemy."

Lu Bu asked again: "If the Xiongwu Army was transferred from the east of the Mainland to the west coast, who would replace its defense line?"

Tian Feng replied: "If the war really develops so much, we will urgently discuss with Youzhou Legion Xu Shu and seconded 20,000 Jin Navy to land in succession to replace the Xiongwu Army to station on the eastern front of Jizhou."

Lu Bu then stopped objecting and waited for Tian Feng to plot against Zhang Fei.

Let’s talk about the Heishan Army who quietly crossed the sea. After spending a dizzy ten days on the Jin Navy’s troop transport ship, a group of soldiers who were originally from the mountains vomited a mess and finally saw the land with tears in their eyes, thus ending this voyage that made them deeply heart-to-heart.

King Zhao Zhong of Dongsheng had received a notice from Jin before the Heishan army arrived, so he ordered the residents of Dongsheng Island to prepare for tens of thousands of troops to come from the sea and never be frightened by the scene when the big ship that was carrying the sky and the sun was coming.

Zhao Zhong from Dongsheng Kingdom was not Zhao Zhong, one of the "Ten Eunuchs" in front of Emperor Ling of Han, but the original lord of Danluo Island. Just because he admired the culture of the Han Dynasty and expressed his willingness to truly obey the jurisdiction of Jin State, he specially asked his son to help him get such a name, and without hesitation, he chose the same surname as Zhao Taifu, who was intimidating in the Four.

With Zhao Zhong's advance arrangement, the shaking Black Mountain soldiers temporarily moved into the islanders' homes when they boarded Dongsheng Island. With the help of local people, they first transported a large amount of military supplies transported by ship to the island, and then began to build military docks and shore facilities on the island for large warships to dock.

A group of young students who graduated from Taihang Academy who came with the ship began the great task of educating the Dongsheng Islanders with a large number of books, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as farm tools and seeds. ~
