There is a saying that only a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to defend against the thief, the dialectical relationship between attack and defense is not static. An excellent strategy master should be able to actively change this dialectical relationship, so that the situation that is not conducive to one's side becomes unfavorable to the other side.

Of course, don't get me wrong, not letting everyone be thieves.

Now, Fang Zhiwen has intervened in the affairs of Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Xiangyang and other places. From a military perspective, Fang Zhiwen's front line has been too long, and the long front line is like guarding against thieves every day. In addition, Fang Zhiwen's interferenceism and its glorious war history have made many people feel uneasy. These uneasiness will finally accumulate and gather, forming an undercurrent.

Fang Zhiwen had noticed this concern earlier and was careful to inform Shi Ah and Tian Feng and others about his concerns. Then, through the intelligence synthesis of all aspects, a looming encirclement, or a military and political alliance, seemed to be slowly forming, and their target was Miyun Fang Zhiwen.

Among them are the powers of vassals, such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, even Liu Yu, Zhang Jiao, as well as aristocratic merchants, and of course, there are Yiren. Some of these people are outside Miyun, some are in the territory of Miyun, some are using military means, some are using economic means, some are using open means, and some are taking action in secret.

Their goals and demands may be different, but they also have a common point, which is to cut off the tentacles of Miyun, which are like octopus, and stop the strong development momentum of Miyun, because they are all afraid of Miyun and Fang Zhiwen.

Faced with this situation, Fang Zhiwen thought the most about how to destroy them. First of all, it was difficult to do this. Secondly, after doing it, he was afraid that he would be half-destroyed. In the end, if he really destroyed these people, he would have one third of the great man, which was enough to be emperor!

This is not what Fang Zhiwen wants, at least not what he wants now.

What Fang Zhiwen wants now is a peaceful development environment. Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, without the trouble of land. The policy is newly built and has sufficient vitality. The education system has gradually been improved, and there is huge development potential in talent population, economy and military, etc. As long as you develop smoothly, Youzhou will become an invincible and powerful entity. Then slowly head south and west, and how it will be self-evident in the end.

Therefore, when Fang Zhiwen faced the encirclement of this invisible alliance, it was the primary condition that he did not want to increase troops to affect the development of Miyun. It was the policy to prevent these forces from having a negative impact on the development of Miyun, and crushing and differentiating these forces was the purpose. As for the specific strategy, it was planned by the General Staff.

To be honest, Fang Zhiwen is not afraid of this alliance. Fang Zhiwen has a clear understanding of Miyun. Even if all the player territories on Miyun's territory rebelled together, Fang Zhiwen is confident that they will be wiped out. What's more, most of the interests of the aliens are tied to Fang Zhiwen. Therefore, there will be no major chaos in Miyun locally, and Fang Zhiwen will not care about the local chaos.

As for Liu Yu, at most, he would take advantage of the situation to secretly make some bargains. Moreover, these bargains cannot be actual benefits, but only invisible returns. Otherwise, he would also be worried about Fang Zhiwen's revenge. In addition, it was even more impossible for him to borrow the tragedy for Yuan Shao, and he was even more worried that Yuan Shao would take the opportunity to destroy him directly.

With these two reasons, this invisible anti-Miyun alliance cannot cause any waves. At best, it is to attack Miyun by attacking allies such as Kong Rong, Tao Qian, and Cai Mao. Therefore, Fang Zhiwen and others are not in a hurry at all.

If several allies from these places are overwhelmed and come to Youzhou, Fang Zhiwen will be extremely welcome. The large territories of the Northeast and Lelang are waiting for the population to be enriched!

On the contrary, if Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Zhang Bao really divide and occupy Qingzhou and Xuzhou, then the entire coastline will be under the attack of Zhou Tai Navy. In this way, everyone who is a thief will be killed will be lost. Moreover, Fang Zhiwen has various names of revenge, and fight whatever he wants. At that time, Cao Cao and others will be bleeding for a long time.

....................................................................................................

No matter what wishful thinking is on all sides, the war has finally begun with the advancement of all parties, either openly or secretly.

On November 30, the new round of Central Plains War slowly kicked off. First, Cao Cao announced the storm of Sun Ce, who deceived the emperor and usurped the emperor, and claimed to be a 300,000 army. He set out from Lu'an and Hefei, and went south to attack Shuxian and Wanxian. On the same day, Liu Yao also vowed to declare war to attack Sun Ce, and took the initiative to attack Pengze and Changjiang.

Cao Cao and Liu Yao were well prepared in this battle and mobilized a large number of player troops. The world club, who was particularly concerned about player trends, was surprised. I didn’t expect that Cao Cao could still mobilize so many player troops. It seems that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and there is no virtue under heavy money!

Sun Ce immediately announced an alliance with Jingxiang and Jingnan. Sun Ce himself was in Shu County to fight against Cao Cao, Cheng Pu went south to Changjiang, Huang Gai was in Pengze, and as for the Cao army in Lu'an, he was handed over to Zhao Yun's troops who attacked from Xunyang, Qichun County.

Zhao Yun's army has never been fully organized, mainly because he is worried about the idea of ​​the Jingxiang clan. However, these 20,000 heavy crossbow cavalry are all elite among the elites. In addition to the player troops who have always supported Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun's fast maneuvering force also has more than 20,000 people.

The army heading south from Lu'an was 20,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry led by Xun You and Xu Chu, and tens of thousands of players' troops. It is definitely not possible for Zhao Yun to block it hard, but Zhao Yun can attack on the flanks and harass his logistics in the rear. If Xu Chu relies solely on the cavalry, it is impossible for Xu Chu to defeat Zhao Yun. In other words, Xu You either risked the risk of cutting off the logistics and attacked Wan County, and seized Wan County before eating up all of them. Otherwise, it would be better not to advance lightly.

Xun You's choice was very conservative. When he advanced to Huoshan Town, more than 100 miles south of Lu'an, he stopped. Zhao Yun's troops had arrived. Xun You immediately built a fortress based on Huoshan, as if he had made up his mind to solve Zhao Yun first before continuing to move south.

Cao Cao on the other side easily took down Shucheng Town in the north of Shu County. The terrain here was not good and was not suitable for defense. Therefore, Sun Ce had already withdrawn the troops here, and a strong wall was cleared north of Shu County. He was waiting for Cao Cao to come to Shu County to see a height.

However, Cao Cao didn't seem to be in a hurry, but began to build a fortress in Shucheng Town, which just echoed each other from east to west. Xiahou Yuan's 20,000 cavalry troops and Cao Hong's 20,000 cavalry troops also began to move between the two places, compressing Zhao Yun's activity space.

"Does Cao Cao plan to use the fortress tactic?" Sun Ce asked curiously at the map. Although his eyebrows were very immature, the power of the superiors had gradually emerged.

Zhang Hong smiled and said, "Lord, do you really want to fight Cao Cao?"

"Yes! I don't want to be looked down upon by Cao Cao. Could it be that he really thinks that someone is too young to bully me!" Sun Ce held the ancient ingot knife tightly in his hand, and his body was also powerful.

"Lord, let's put down the knife. Cao Cao just hopes that we can't calm down. The one who bullies the lord is young and energetic. He attacks me and defends me, so he is willing to work hard. If he has a strong city to fight against strong enemies, his advantage lies with me. If he does the opposite, wouldn't he use a short attack? He is in Huoshan and Shucheng's strong fortress, so he hopes that we will attack, so they can wait for work hard."

Sun Ce thought about it, his face slightly warmed up, he put away his passionate expression, and really put away the ancient ingot knife, sat upright and said solemnly: "Mr. Zigang said so much, I have been taught!"

"Don't dare, lord, don't worry. Cao Cao takes every step and acts like eroding. In fact, his real idea is definitely not like this. If he wants to erode the territory, Huainan's territory is easier than mine in Lujiang. Moreover, after our army gradually adapts, coupled with Zhao Yun's cavalry, and becomes a battle with him, Cao Cao may not be able to go well!"

"So what is Cao Cao's real intention to do this?"

"It's hard to say, maybe he is waiting for us to make mistakes. In essence, the war is often not about who is more brave, but about who makes fewer mistakes. Cao Cao's steady and does not advance lightly is to reduce the chance of making mistakes. On the contrary, if our army cannot resist taking the initiative, it will just hit his mind."

Sun Ce frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Mr. Zigang is right. Now Cao Cao is step by step and has a good defense. With Zhao Yun's ability, he cannot achieve any decent results. If our army goes out lightly, it is likely to be besieged by Cao's army. The cavalry outside Cao Cao not only restrains General Zhao Yun, but is also waiting for us to fall into the trap."

"The lord clearly believes that our army should strengthen its vigilance, actively build defensive facilities, and at the same time speed up the training of militias. In addition, the direction of Xiang'an cannot be taken lightly. We need to be steady in the northern line, so that the southern line can be more active. If Liu Yao is severely damaged and repelled, the Cao and Liu alliance will collapse, then Cao Cao will go without fighting!"

"I understand! Let's arrange it according to Mr. Zigang's intention!"

....................................................................

"Three Generals, are you drinking again?" Zhuge Jin's voice shocked Zhang Fei, who was drinking happily. When he was stationed in Yuyang City, he had issued a military order in front of Liu Bei. He must not drink alcohol and make trouble!

"Haha, Mr. Zhuge! Am I idle now? I drank a little to quench my thirst, haha..."

"Why did I hear that the third general seemed to have issued some military order, saying that he could not drink alcohol!"

Zhang Fei was stunned, his eyes turned and said, "Mr. Zhuge must have remembered it wrong. What I said at that time was that you can't drink alcohol and it's not that you can't drink alcohol!"

Zhuge Jin smiled, walked to the pavilion on his own, took a piece of barbecue from the fire, sat opposite Zhang Fei and ate it in a small mouthful, and stopped talking.

Zhang Fei blinked his eyes and suddenly thought of something. His eyes were wide open and he asked excitedly: "Mr. Zhuge is there something wrong with him? Is it going to fight? It's great, I've been almost bored in the past few years! Who are you fighting??"

Zhuge Jin raised his hand and slapped the pungent alcoholic smell. Zhang Fei stepped back awkwardly and looked at Zhuge Jin with a smile. Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "It's very boring. It's not a big deal for soldiers to farm all day without fighting! However, the lord means to keep a low profile!"

"Ah!?" Zhang Fei collapsed back to the stone bench in disappointment, muttering in his mouth that he didn't know what he was saying.

"Speaking of this, why did the Third General think that he was here to send an order to start the war?"

"Hey! Cao Cao is attacking Lujiang now, Jingxiang's troops are all mobilizing to the southeast, and the navy has also gone to Xunyang. Isn't this a good opportunity to attack Xiangyang?!"
