Zhang Ren's change of expression was all seen by Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang decided to speak out to comfort him.

"General Zhang, Chencang is located in a dangerous position, and the matter is of great importance! Not only can it hold the Chencang Road, but it can also prevent the enemy from entering Liangzhou. This task is very difficult! As long as General Zhang can keep Chencang well, it will be a great achievement! "

"Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Ren will not disgrace his life!"

Hearing Liu Zhang's words, Zhang Ren's face was filled with joy again.

As long as the Northern Expedition is not useless, Zhang Ren has no complaints at all, not to mention Liu Zhang's story about Chen Cang is so important!

"Wu Yi listens!"

Wu Yi's reaction was even greater than Zhang Ren's. He didn't expect that he was the second one to be called.

Although Liu Zhang married Wu Yi's younger sister, Wu Yi never dared to call himself this, and has been working hard for many years.

"The end is here!"

Wu Yi was very nervous. According to Zhang Ren's assignment just now, he probably didn't have an important task for him.

"I order you to lead the army and horses under your command to completely control Wudu County."

Sure enough, it did not exceed Wu Yi's expectations, and it was another marginal task.

"The last general takes orders!"

Wu Yi is a rigorous person, and now he is Liu Zhang's eldest brother-in-law. He immediately chose to carry out Liu Zhang's orders without complaint.

"The population of Wudu County has been moved to Hanzhong many years ago, and now there is no one stationed there. However, Wudu County, as an important channel connecting Hanzhong County and Hanyang County, has an equally important relationship!"

Liu Zhang also comforted Wu Yi. Wudu County did not show its importance when the war was going well, but its status would become prominent once the war was stalemate or at a disadvantage.

The food roads of the entire Northern Expeditionary Army depended on Wudu County for transportation.

"At the end, the lord will guard Wudu County well!"

Wu Yi's ability is not bad, and he will definitely have no problem controlling an ungarrisoned Wudu County.

"Order Yang Lin to replace Huang Zhong at Yangping Pass, and Huang Zhong and Wu Sheying to join the Northern Expedition."

"The rest of the generals and their soldiers and horses all follow this general and go northward, aiming at Hanyang County, Ji County!"

Including Huang Zhong's 10,000 martial arts battalion, the Northern Expedition army just made up the number of 100,000!

At the same time, with the addition of Huang Zhong and Wusheying, it means that all the strongest combat forces under Liu Zhang's command have gathered.

Liu Zhang also fulfilled his lofty ambitions, leading an army of 100,000 troops, and sent troops out of Qishan!

For a time, the movement in Yizhou attracted the attention of everyone in the world.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou didn't care when he heard the news. Anyway, Liu Zhang's goal was not Jingzhou, and he was still indulging in pleasure all day long.

Sun Ce of Jiangdong was deeply moved when he heard the news, and his ambition to attack Xuchang was further strengthened. After ordering the whole army to prepare for war, I even went to the mountains to hunt, always maintaining a high degree of fighting spirit.

Hebei Yuan Shao snorted, for him, a hundred thousand troops is not an unattainable number, right now there are one hundred thousand soldiers in his camp.

As for Liu Zhang's dispatch of troops to Liangzhou, Yuan Shao had no intention of participating in it. Right now Cao Cao is still in a stalemate with him in Guandu, and eliminating Cao Cao as soon as possible is the most important thing for him.

Among the people in the world who were most frightened by this news, apart from Han Sui and Ma Teng, only Cao Cao was the only one.

When Cao Cao, who was struggling in Guandu, heard the news, he was so surprised that the rice bowl in his hand slipped and fell to pieces.

Liu Zhang's five-year silence made another attack, which immediately increased the pressure on Cao Cao!

In the Guandu camp, Cao Cao fell into deep thought as he looked at the grain scattered under his feet.

"Hey! What a wave of ups and downs! Jiangdong Sun Ce's frequent changes have caused Xuchang to be under threat all the time. Now Liu Zhang is even more ruthless, personally leading an army of 100,000 to go north to Hanzhong!"

"If Liu Zhang intends to help Yuan Shao attack our flank, then Cao Cao will be doomed!"

Looking at the dishes on the table, Cao Cao no longer had any appetite, and even felt nauseated.

"My lord, the hatred between Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao is as deep as sea, especially the design of Yizhou by Yuan Shao five years ago. I guess it is impossible for Liu Zhang and Yuan to unite!"

Cheng Yu, who was below Cao Cao, immediately stood up to comfort Cao Cao, and his tone was unusually affirmative.

It's a pity that Cheng Yu's decisive assertion did not dispel Cao Cao's concerns.

"Zhongde, even if it is certain that Liu Zhang will not join forces with Yuan Shao, who can guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to add insult to injury?"

"One Sun Ce has already made us suffer. If there is another Liu Zhang, I am afraid that we will be at the end of our rope!"

Cao Cao even had an even worse idea in mind, could he really defeat Yuan Shao?

Cao Cao questioned himself more than once, but he didn't dare to speak out, for fear of destroying all the remaining morale.

At this time, Guo Jia, who succeeded Xi Zhicai as the mastermind, also stepped forward.

"Lord, don't worry, Sun Ce is not ordered to come to Xuchang, and Liu Zhang will not cross the Guanzhong. As long as we solve the powerful enemy Yuan Shao, the world will naturally be under control!"

Guo Jia has mentioned Sun Ce's fate more than once, but Cao Cao still can't believe it.

Now that Jiang Dong has been terrified by Sun Ce, who would dare to offend Sun Ce's mighty might?

Once the matter is revealed, with Sun Ce's personality, it would be easy to ransack the family and exterminate the family!

"Feng Xiao, let's not talk about whether Sun Ce will attack Xuchang, even if Liu Zhang occupies the land of Sanfu, we can't stand it!"

"Now Sili has no defense, Liu Zhang can send Qingqi to attack Xuchang at any time!"

Cao Cao still can't forget Liu Zhang's cavalry called Wufengying until now. The shock of the martial arts field was really not small.

Guo Jia shook his head with a smile, he didn't have any worries from the beginning to the end.

"Don't worry, my lord. I'd rather believe that Liu Zhang sent troops to attack Yecheng than he would attack Xuchang."

The corners of Cao Cao's eyes kept twitching. If he didn't know Guo Jia very well, he would definitely beat the person in front of him with a stick.

"Feng Xiao doesn't need to comfort me anymore, I don't have such a deep friendship with Liu Zhang..."

"My lord, the next sentence is true!"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia again, from his face and eyes, he was indeed very serious.

"What is the basis?"

Guo Jia nodded slightly, his face was always full of confidence.

"If we lose, Yuan Shao will pacify the states in the Central Plains in a very short period of time. But if Yuan Shao loses, we will not be able to invade Hebei at all with our current strength."

"Think about it, my lord. Does Liu Zhang want to unify the Central Plains and Hebei as soon as possible, or is he always in a state of melee?"

After Guo Jia's reminder, Cao Cao came to his senses in an instant.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the grain on the ground with some pity.

"My lord's expression is too tense, otherwise I will be able to see the matter clearly."

Guo Jia knew Cao Cao's vision very well, but he was under too much pressure recently.

Compared with military strength, Cao Cao is far inferior to Yuan Shao, and compared with grain and grass, Cao Cao is even more difficult to match!

Not to mention background, official position and the like!

It can be said that Yuan Shao is crushing Cao Cao in every aspect.

Especially in the recent period, there are people who betrayed Cao and returned to Yuan everywhere, and even many ministers in Xuchang are secretly communicating with Yuan Shao.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think is Liu Zhang's real intention in going north to Hanzhong?"

Guo Jia rubbed his chin lightly with his hand, and after a long time, he said two words lightly.

"Yong Liang!"
