Shortly after Guan Yu led his troops to Chang'an, he received an important personnel appointment document from the command of the Wohu Command.

In the official document, Guan Yu was first appointed as the marshal of the Northwest Route Army, and under his command, he was mainly in charge of the vanguard army, Canglang Army, Western Liang Army, and Kunlun Army, with a total force of 150,000, and the military advisor was Jia Xu. The former commander of Liangzhou Army Zhang He was the deputy commander, the commander of the Western Liang Army Ma Chao was the former general, the commander of the Canglang Army Zang Ba was the latter general, and the commander of the Kunlun Army Xu Rong was the central general.

Xu Huang was appointed as the marshal of the Northern Army, and his command was mainly in charge of the Wohu Army, Dingyuan Army and Liaodong Army, with a total force of 110,000. Chen Gong was appointed as the Grand Advisor. Li Jinwu, the commander of the Wohu Army, Zhao Zhenbang, the commander of the Liaodong Army, and Hu Cheer, the commander of the Dingyuan Army, was the rear general.

Zhao Yun was appointed as the marshal of the Eastern Army, and his command was mainly in charge of the four armies of the Flying Tiger Army, Xiongwu Army, Heishan Army, and Donglai Army, with a total force of 130,000. Guo Jia was appointed as the left military division, and Tian Feng was appointed as the right military division. The former commander of the Jizhou Army, Lu Bu was appointed as the deputy commander, Dian Wei was appointed as the former general, the commander of the Heishan Army, Zhang Yan was appointed as the left general, Pang De was appointed as the right general, and Gao Shun, the commander of the Donglai Army, was appointed as the general of the central army.

Zhang Liao was appointed as the marshal of the Southern Route Army, and his command was mainly in charge of the Dragon Cavalry, Xiong Jue Army and Jiangdong Army, with a total force of 120,000. The left military division was Pang Tong, and the right military division was Zhou Yu. The former commander of Youzhou Army Xu Shu and the commander of Jiangdong Army Sun Ce were the left and right deputy commanders, the commander of Xiong Jue Army Ye Xiong was the former general, the commander of the Dragon Cavalry Li Tiezhu was the rear general, the general of Jiangdong Army Han Dang was the left general, and Cheng Pu was the right general.

Taishi Ci was appointed as the marshal of the Southwest Route Army, and under his command, the Navy Marine Corps, the Yizhou Army and the Jingzhou Army, with a roughly estimated force of 160,000. The left military division was Li Ru, and the right military division was Lu Meng. The Marine Commander Guan Ping was the former general, the Yizhou Army Commander Gan Ning was the latter general, the Jingzhou General Huang Zhong was the central army general, Li Yan was the left general, and Huo Jun was the right general.

From this important personnel appointment document, it can be seen that Zhao Xing has completed all the arrangements for launching the Central Plains War. In order to quickly and thoroughly solve the Central Plains problem, Zhao Xing gathered a total of 670,000 troops of five armies this time. According to historical records, when Cao Cao led his army south to launch the Battle of Chibi, he claimed that there were 800,000 troops, but in fact there were only about 300,000 troops. Zhao Xing launched the Central Plains War this time, he had assembled nearly 700,000 troops, so it was not an exaggeration to claim that there were a million troops.

The appointment of important generals of the five armies is also commendable. In the past, except for Zhao Xing fading out of the ranks of direct command of the army with his lord's attitude, the other four righteous brothers were all alone, which made the world sigh how visionary Zhao Xing was when he pulled Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were when he became sworn brothers in Wohu Village!

With the prestige and merits of Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao in the army, and their ability to command troops, the position of marshal is definitely worthy. If the Eastern Army had not been the position of marshal, how could the veterans Lu Bu, Pang De, Gao Shun and others convinced? If the Southern Army had not been the position of marshal, how could the Jiangdong generals be convinced? If the Northwest Army had not been the position of marshal, how could the Northwest Army have not been the position of marshal, how could the Northwest Army have not been the position of marshal, and how could the Northwest Army have not been the position of marshal, and how could the generals such as Ma Chao, Zhang He, and Xu Rong be convinced?

The only one is not the Marshal Taishi Ci, who came from the "Five Tigers". Although he nominally commanded an army of 180,000, the only one who can truly mobilize and command is limited to the 50,000 army of the Navy and Marine Corps.

The Yizhou Legion led by Gan Ning is still an empty shell, with only 30,000 Yizhou and Jiaozhi soldiers under his command. If the Tianyi Army had not supported him in Chengdu, his commander would not be as good as the commander with the number in front of him. In Jingzhou, Liu Biao's subordinates had 100,000 troops, but it was impossible for him to be directly under the command of Taishici. Otherwise, wouldn't Liu Biao be equivalent to sending Jingzhou directly to the King of Pingxi?

Although the Marshal of the Southwest Route Army was not easy to do, Taishici took office without any attention. In Zhao Xing's view, Taishici was a general who was good at creating surprises. Whether it was the navy in the beginning or the later leading the army to land in Jiaozhi, Taishici made surprising achievements. This time, it seemed that Taishici was not very pleasing to coordinate and command the battlefields of Jingzhou and Yizhou, but maybe he would still bring new surprises to Zhao Xing as always.

According to the combat deployment that the Wohu Commander had issued, the Northwest Route Army led by Guan Yu was first aimed at capturing the Guanzhong area, and then sent a force to block Tongguan. The remaining main forces headed towards Wuguan area near Nanyang County in the southwest of Guanzhong, directly attacking Yuan Shu's current nest Wancheng.

The primary task of the Northern Route Army led by Xu Huang was to defend the security of Jin State. Then, depending on the situation, the troops were sent to occupy Hedong and Henei counties north of the Yellow River, and sent troops to Huguan to assist the Eastern Route Army in attacking Yecheng. If the Eastern Route Army's battle went smoothly, the Northern Route Army would concentrate its superior forces to cross the Yellow River south and directly besiege the imperial capital Luoyang.

The first task of the Eastern Route Army led by Zhao Yun was to seize all areas north of the Yellow River, and then attack Cao Cao's base camp Chenliu from east to west, until they completely headed south to Yanzhou, and the troops arrived at Hulao Pass. At this time, the Northwest Route Army and the Northern Route Army should have completed their corresponding tasks respectively and completely surrounded Luoyang.

The top priority of the Southeast Route Army led by Xu Huang was to seize the territory that originally belonged to Xuzhou, and then enter Yuzhou to completely cut off the connection between Yangzhou and Luoyang. After Luoyang was surrounded, Zhao Yun divided a force to march south, and adopted a force to attack north and south with Zhang Liao's unit, and completely occupied Yuzhou. The main force of the Northwest Route Army attacking Nanyang, after destroying Yuan Shu, marched eastward and attacked Yangzhou with the Jiangdong Army.

The mission of the Southwest Route Army led by Taishi Ci was relatively simple. It mainly guarded the gateway from Yangzhou to Jingzhou, blocked the road from Nanyang to Shangyong to ensure that Xiangyang was not captured. After the various armies completed their tasks one after another, they could concentrate their efforts to eliminate the remaining imperial troops near Jingzhou, and finally complete all the wars of the Central Plains War.

Although the court is now at a complete disadvantage, the three big men Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun still control 220,000 troops, while Cao Cao and Liu Bei also have nearly 300,000 troops. Although it is a little insufficient compared to Zhao Xing's 670,000 troops, it is enough to deal with the various armies of Jin in all directions in the Central Plains region for a long time.

What's more, the imperial army now also has very lethal gunpowder, and many Chinese military generals are also very good at leading troops. Once they concentrate on designing a certain unit of Jin State, they will not be able to win on local battlefields.
