In the first year of Jian'an, on the first day of January, Gongsun Zan, a hero from Youzhou, was defeated in the army and committed suicide by slashing his throat on the bank of the Zhang River.

The Youzhou Army, which was once at its peak, and the prosperous Baima Yicong, will eventually withdraw from the stage of history with this defeat. There will be no more Gongsun Zan's deeds in the future. Perhaps there will be one or two pages in history to describe Gongsun Zan's life.

No matter what, Gongsun Zan's life has come to an end, and his territory is also taken over by Yuan Tan.

Just today, something too strange happened in the Dongdaying station of Bingzhou, Yanmen County, Mayi County, and Guan Yu, so Guan Yu's 100,000 army gave up the great opportunity to go to Youzhou, so he watched Yuan Tan conquer Youzhou.

On this day, Guan Yu received the military situation of Gongsun Zan's sudden army south to Yecheng, allowing him to attack Yuan Shao.

Guan Yu did not dare to make a decision on such a big deal. He ordered people to call the heads of the school and Tian Feng and Ju Su to discuss the matter.

A few months ago, before Yang Fan went to the Sili realm, he sent Tian Feng and Ju Su to Dongdaying to take the opportunity to steal Gongsun Zan's Youzhou.

After everyone finished reading the military information report, Guan Yu took the lead and asked, "Everyone, is this our chance?"

As the deputy general of Dongdaying and the commander of another school, Zhou Cang replied first: "This news came a few days ago. Calculate the time, Gongsun Zan also fought with Yuan Shao. The military order my camp received was to guide Youzhou at the right time. In my opinion, it is the time now."

Yu Du said in a deep voice: "Where should we send out troops? Where to start fighting?"

Bai Luo scratched his head and smiled honestly, "Didn't you start from Pingcheng and Lucheng counties? Take two-pronged approach and take Dai County first. Why do you ask such a question?"

Looking at Bai Luo's silly expression, Yu Du almost cursed. Of course, he knew that the strategic deployment had been done long ago, but it was not decided which unit to complete it! Yu Du asked this, but he would not explain much to Bai Zhuo, for fear that he would be angry again.

After seeing Yu Du rolling his eyes, he ignored Bai Luo and asked, "General, our school, I was scolded for Yang Guang's incident before. My brothers have been angry for a long time. Look at this position as a pioneer, why not just give it to us?"

Guan Yu smiled and said, "As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you want to do? I'll wait for you. The two gentlemen have not spoken yet. As for whether to send troops or not, you'll jump out to take the vanguard before you decide."

Guan Yu's words immediately caused laughter from Yu Fuluo, Hu Chuquan and others. Even Bai Lu, who was half a beat slower, knew what Yu Du meant just now.

If we talk about the strength of this general, Guan Yu's Dongda Camp may be the weakest among the five major battle camps of the Yang family army. Among the five major captains, one surrendered general of the Yellow Turban, two surrendered generals of the Black Mountain Army, and two Xiongnu princes are really different.

However, the overall strength of Dongdaying is the strongest battalion except Gao Shun's Zhongdaying. There is no other reason. The proportion of veterans is too large. One battle camp has 100,000 people, and nearly half of them are veterans who have been in the army for more than three years.

Since the pacification of Bingzhou, Dongdaying has only experienced one war, and it was still a strategy with Zhongdaying, so the casualties are naturally much smaller.

Unlike Zhang Liao's Beidaying, after a battle, all the soldiers from a school were killed, except for a few people. Although the personnel were added later, they were all new soldiers. How could they compare with veterans? This is also the main reason for the North-South Defense between Beidaying and Xidaying.

Not having a war for a long time, let alone Yu Du and others, even Guan Yu felt itchy, especially the Sili war report came from time to time, which made Guan Yu envious.

Now that the opportunity has come, Guan Yu will naturally not let it go. He only saw him looking at Tian Feng with hope, Ju Su and the others, for fear that they would not let the troops go.

Tian Feng's face was so hot that Guan Yu looked at him. Not anyone could bear the resentful look. Anyway, Tian Feng was defeated.

Ju Su was even more unbearable. From the beginning to the end, he did not dare to look at Guan Yu, but only focused on studying the sand table in Youzhou.

Seeing Tian Feng and Ju Su whispering to each other, they ignored the words of themselves and others, as if they had not heard them. In desperation, Guan Yu had to ask, "Yuan Hao, Mr. and you two said something, are you not going to send troops?"

Seeing that he could not escape, Tian Feng then replied first: "Captain Yun, before the lord set off, we had asked our camera to move. Now most of the Youzhou army is in the Wei County area. It is perfect for us to send troops at this time."

Ju Shu nodded and said, "I think so too. However, Dongdaying only has five soldiers and horses, and is not full. Chief Yun, how many soldiers are you planning to send?"

Guan Yu obviously had a conclusion on this issue, and replied without thinking: "I think the three schools are enough."

Although each camp in the Yang family army had thirty schools, which was 600,000 people, it was already the limit of Bingzhou to maintain the operation of five schools in each camp, that is, 100,000 people.

If Yang Fan was in a state of war, he could also attract three million people, but it would undoubtedly kill chickens to get eggs, which would not be worth the loss.

After all, 500,000 people were able to look down on the world. When Cao Cao occupied the north, his peak strength was almost the same as Yang Fan at this time.

Yang Fan did what Cao Cao could only accomplish with the power of several states with just one Bingzhou. It can be imagined that the role played by recruiting refugees, military troops, and economic development in this era was extremely significant.

Yang Fan was not like other princes. His territory was not yet stable, but he was thinking about planning other people's things, just like Gongsun Zan. It seemed to be huge, but in fact it was very empty inside.

As long as the population under his rule has been stable for 10 or 20 years, the population under his rule can at least quadruple. Today, in Bingzhou, there are more than 5 million households and more than 16 million people registered. This number is so terrifying, equivalent to twice the number of people in Yizhou.

This is because of the constant war, which has led to some people still playing bachelors. However, Yang Fan believes that after several years of rest and recuperation, they will each form their own families and have children.

Nowadays, Yang Fan can proudly say that it is definitely the most prosperous state in the world.

Tian Feng laughed and said, "Since they are from the three schools, you can use the troops of one school to leave Lucheng. First, attract the attention of the Dai County garrison, and then the troops of the other two schools will leave Pingcheng and attack from behind."

Ju Shu nodded and said, "Yes, even if I practiced it many times, I still have to mention the necessary precautions again. No matter what, the policy this time is blitzkrieg, that's just one word, hurry up."
