In the following time, Yuan Shao frequently conquered the city.

Of course, the intensity is far less intense than the siege of Xunyang City.

Because of the huge military force invested in Xunyang City and the heavy losses, Yuan Shao felt extremely distressed.

However, it is obvious that Yuan Shao's siege has been reduced, while Lu Bu's defense has also become weaker.

It seems that all the engineering materials are concentrated in Xunyang City.

For example, the new trencher has never been seen in several other cities.

When Yuan Shao and his team entered Xunyang City, they found that all the new catapults were destroyed and no one was left.

...

One month later, Yuan Shao occupied four cities in total.

Cao Cao was as cunning as a fox and occupied three cities.

What is infinitely shocking is Yuan Shu, who actually occupied eight cities alone.

Yuan Shu's strength is just as good as Cao Cao, and even if it exceeds it slightly, it won't be too much.

I guess I am far from being with Yuan Shao.

But what is unexpected is that Yuan Shu, who is not the strongest, conquered the most cities.

This made people secretly call Yuan Shu's luck.

Not only that, a month later, Yuan Shu was in a state of great power and took down all the remaining cities in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County with a thunderous momentum.

Under Yuan Shu's fierce offensive, Lu Bu's army retreated step by step and fled.

He really fled when he saw the wind. Yuan Shu surrounded a city for less than three days, and Lu Bu must have evacuated.

This siege speed once made Yuan Shao and Cao Cao suspect that Lu Bu was actually using some conspiracy.

Because in the war Lu Bu participated in, he used conspiracies and tricks.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy Lu Bu would use.

Any conspiracy is so vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.

But now after Lu Bu lost these cities, he had no ability to take them back?

But why did Lu Bu give up all these cities to Yuan Shu?

What Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were extremely depressed was how great it would be if Lu Bu gave them all these cities!

They didn't believe that Yuan Shu's troops would have such strong combat effectiveness, which could reach the point where Lu Bu's army fled in sight.

In short, a month later, except for Yuan Shao who occupied four cities and Cao Cao who occupied three cities, all the remaining territory was all belonged to Yuan Shu.

Moreover, the territory of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu is far away from the several cities they Xindede, and there is no possibility of these cities being preserved at all.

The city they had worked hard to seize would eventually be occupied by Yuan Shu, which was what made them feel the most disgusting.

But they have no way to do this.

It seems that they can only wait for a price and sell these cities to Yuan Shu. They can't let their efforts be in vain!

After obtaining almost two counties, Yuan Shu's strength increased greatly and his heart swelled up unconsciously.

The only drawback is that Lu Bu actually migrated all the people away. In this way, although he obtained the land of the two counties, the people were seriously insufficient. He had to mobilize the people from Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.

Of course, this matter is not a problem for Yuan Shu.

There is no way, who made the Yuan family the top family in the Three Kingdoms?

There are countless black householders who are hiding in the Yuan family, so they can naturally be mobilized to Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.

Furthermore, in addition to these servants and black households, the Yuan family can also get people from other channels.

In short, as long as you have a territory, as for population, money and food, it is not a big problem for Yuan Shu.

After obtaining Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, Yuan Shu already owned the four counties, and his strength had suddenly jumped to a great prince who coexisted with Yuan Shao.

The Yuan family is too powerful. If the Yuan Shao and the Yuan Shu brothers join forces, then the entire Han Dynasty will probably be the world of their brothers.

...

In more than twenty days, Lu Bu had successfully withdrew all the people of Lujiang County and Jiujiang County to the four counties of Jiangdong.

Fortunately, Lu Bu now has spare land. Even if he migrates all the people of Lujiang and Jiujiang counties to the four counties of Jiangdong, the land will be more than enough.

The work assigned to Xun Yu was left to do to allocate the people.

What Lu Bu has to do now is to gather all the navy forces and prepare to fight to the death with the coalition forces of the princes on the river.

At present, Lu Bu has too few naval troops.

Even after the expansion of the army, the number of naval troops is only about 50,000.

In terms of the coalition forces, strictly speaking, only Liu Biao has the right navy.

However, Liu Biao had several extremely powerful naval commanders. As long as they were given time, they could train a large number of naval troops.

Among these commanders, the most powerful two are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.

Now Lu Bu is trying every means to get rid of these two people.

As long as these two people can be eliminated, the strength of the coalition's naval forces can be reduced by at least 30%.

The task of eliminating the two has been handed over to Jia Xu to do, but so far, no exact news has been heard.

Now Lu Bu is constantly recruiting troops and expanding his navy.

In fact, if the infantry can be pulled to serve as a navy, there will be an additional 100,000 navy troops immediately.

However, those infantry are not good at water warfare, and many infantry don't even know how to swim.

Even if these infantry have been trained for a short period of time, they will not make much progress.

Instead of using these infantry to transform into naval forces, it is better to directly recruit young and strong men with excellent water properties to train, which will be more effective.

What's more, if the water battle fails, 100,000 infantry will be put into the final defense.

Lu Bu believed that if the war situation was really so fierce, the coalition forces would not be able to make any sense.

Lu Bu didn't believe that the coalition forces would have the courage to compete with him to the end.

...

As early as January, the four counties in Jiangdong posted a recruitment list.

The general recruitment of the princes is mandatory, regardless of whether you want it or not.

Those who are over fifteen years old and under forty years old will directly recruit men to join the army.

Even when there is a shortage of troops, this age group will be expanded.

If you encounter a rebel rebel, it is like the Yellow Turban Army. No matter how old or young you are, you will be taken to join the army as cannon fodder.

This is also one of the reasons why the population declined sharply during the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

The conscription list posted by Lu Bu is not compulsory, but entirely based on voluntary voluntary.

First of all, although Lu Bu lacked enough naval troops, this number would not be too large.

Another 50,000 is enough.

Secondly, if it is a forced concession, the morale of the army will be unstable and the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Lu Bu has always been famous for his benevolence and righteousness, but he really cannot do anything and will not do anything to force conscripts.

Of course, if the source of troops is really not enough, Lu Bu will also think of some other solutions.
