In 190 AD, Yuan Shao raised troops from the Bohai Sea in the name of attacking Dong Zhuo. Along the way, he invited heroes from all over the world to meet at Chenliu for an alliance.

Cao Cao, who had just gathered some local brave men to raise troops, Yuan Shu who was entrenched in Luyang, and Sun Jian in Changsha were all ready to respond and lead troops to Chenliu, thinking that after defeating Dong Zhuo, they would each be able to obtain higher titles and official positions, and could occupy

More city sites!

"Sun Jian killed Wang Rui? Well done, well done!" In Wancheng, in the prefecture, facing the newly formed civil and military team under his command, Zhou You suddenly smiled after learning the news that Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, had been killed.

Yan Xiang, who was first on the left, also smiled and said: "Congratulations, my lord, the nine counties of Jingxiang are now in my lord's pocket."

"Ha... Sun Jian did me a favor! However, this guy doesn't seem to be easy to deal with!" Zhou You continued.

"My lord, Sun Jian is indeed brave, but he is just a reckless man after all," Yan Xiang said with a smile: "Since he wants to lead troops to attack Dong Zhuo, it is tantamount to handing over Jing Xiang to the lord! So good!

My lord, you must not miss this opportunity. I would like to take a trip to Xiangyang."

Zhou You nodded and smiled: "Okay, then I'll bother the chief clerk. However, there is no need to rush this matter. After Sun Jian and Yuan Shu have left, it won't be too late for us to capture Jingxiang! Speaking of which, Yuan Shu took the opportunity last time.

Lu Yang, Jinghui, are you not willing to give in?"

"Don't worry, my lord, we will eventually recapture Luyang," Hu Jinghui, who stood first among the generals on the right, also said.

"Okay, as long as we work together, not only Jingxiang, but also Xichuan and Hanzhong will be ours sooner or later," Zhou You suddenly stood up and said, which also cheered up the spirits of all the civil and military personnel who responded. Since they followed Zhou You

, naturally hope that Zhou You can achieve greater success, so that they can follow the rising tide!

However, what Zhou You didn't expect was that Sun Jian led his army north and arrived at Wancheng before joining Yuan Shu. Zhou You was a little surprised when he got the news. He thought he was going to attack Wancheng! This Sun Jian was so fierce?

After killing the governor of Jingzhou, are you going to deal with him as the governor of Nanyang?

As a result, when Zhou You arrived at the top of the city, he realized that Sun Jian was not here to deal with Wancheng, but wanted to borrow some food and grass from him, the prefect of Nanyang, and invited him to join him in the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

"General Sun, to be honest, I have only been the governor of Nanyang for a short time, and the governor's family has no food left! There is really nothing I can do! Originally, I was going to attack the traitor Dong Zhuo, but I didn't have enough food and grass. If General Sun could

Give me some support, and I am willing to go north with you to help the Alliance fight for Dong!" Zhou You said loudly on the top of the city.

Sun Jian, who was leading troops from the city, frowned when he heard Zhou You's words. Sun Ce on the side couldn't help but said: "Father, Zhou You has occupied Nanyang, which is rich, so how can he not have money and food? I think he is clearly making an excuse!

Keeping him is really a disaster!"

"What do you think we should do? Can we still rush into the city to grab food? Don't say that we can't easily capture Wancheng. Even if we can, why should we attack Wancheng? After all, Zhou You is the Nanyang governor appointed by the imperial court."

Sun Jian asked rhetorically.

"Whatever the imperial court granted, I think it was clearly granted by Dong Zhuo. Moreover, he has no intention of attacking Dong Zhuo at all," Sun Ce continued, "Why don't my father invite him to come out of the city to get together and try to kill him then.

There is no leader in the city. My father captured Wancheng in one fell swoop. Are you still worried about not having enough food and grass?"

"This..." After hearing this, Sun Jian hesitated a little, and then he shouted directly to Zhou You, claiming that he wanted to invite him out of the city to discuss the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and hoped that Zhou You could give him the face to go out of the city for the banquet.

"Haha..." Zhou You laughed after hearing this: "General Sun, there is no good banquet, right? General Sun has always dared to kill tiger generals and bear gall, even the governor of Jingzhou, let alone me Zhou You! If you take the opportunity to kill me

, and then plunder my city, Wan, where can I go to reason with you?"

Sun Jian hesitated when he heard this, and Sun Ce on the side also secretly gritted his teeth: "This guy, he is obviously a thief, but he actually calls us thieves!"

"Forget it, let's rush to Luyang and meet Yuan Highway as soon as possible!" Sun Jian said with a helpless frown, then turned around and left, followed by Sun Ce, Huang Zhong, Zu Mao and other Sun Jian's generals.

He quickly led his troops and followed him.

On the top of the city, watching Sun Jian and his son leading the troops away, Hu Jinghui on the side couldn't help but said to Zhou You: "My lord, are we really not going to Chenliu to join the alliance?"

"Do we need to join in the fun? Liu Yan of Yizhou is a royal family! Has he gone?" Zhou You asked rhetorically, and then said: "Even if we defeat Dong Zhuo, what good will it do to us? Win it.

The whole of Jingxiang is the real benefit, and it is the fundamental capital for us to conquer the world in the future. Besides, I am still waiting for Dong Zhuo to make me the governor of Jingzhou, so that I can legitimately control Jingxiang!"

"I'm afraid this won't be easy," Hu Jinghui said, while Zhou You said noncommittally: "When Dong Zhuo really feels the pressure and needs help from outside, nothing will be impossible. He thought

He wants to win over me but doesn't offer any real benefits, how can I help him?"

Hu Jinghui nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then if Dong Zhuo is really willing to make my lord the governor of Jingzhou according to the emperor's decree, will my lord send troops to help him?"

"What do you think?" Zhou You asked with a smile, while Hu Jinghui shook his head and smiled helplessly: "I really can't guess what your lord is thinking. By the way, my lord thinks that Chief Yan can persuade the Jingxiang gentry to support your lord's entry."

Lord Jingxiang?"

"Then it depends on whether these guys are sensible or not," Zhou You said with a noncommittal smile: "Moreover, it also depends on whether Dong Zhuo will choose me to be the governor of Jingzhou or let Liu Biao do it."

"What if Liu Biao comes?" Hu Jinghui asked curiously, and Zhou You laughed: "If he comes, then there is no need to go back. How can he, a weakling like Jing Xiang, hold on to this fat man?

It's better to stay here as a guest and be his celebrity with peace of mind. People like him are actually the most suitable for learning. If you have to be the Lord of Jingxiang, wouldn't you be roasted on the fire?

?”

Soon after, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian responded to Yuan Shao and raised troops to go to Chenliu to form an alliance. Hu Jinghui also led troops north to Luyang under Zhou You's order and captured this important town in the northeast of Nanyang.

Although Yuan Shu left 10,000 to 20,000 troops to defend the city, he led the main force to the north. How could the troops behind him be able to stop Hu Jinghui? Hu Jinghui, who personally led the attack on the city, was stunned to rely on his bravery and soldiers.

With their desperate efforts, they directly attacked Luyang in one go.

In this battle, Hu Jinghui killed thousands of enemies and captured tens of thousands of Yuan Shu's troops, but his own casualties were only over a thousand.

At this point, except for Caiyang and a few counties farther south and northwest, most of Nanyang's territory has fallen into Zhou You's hands. With Nanyang's money, food and population, Zhou You also organized 80,000 troops.

Of course, these 80,000 soldiers and horses also have some new recruits. If you want to become a truly elite soldier, you still need to experience more battles and polish them!

After traveling around and reorganizing his army, he personally commanded 50,000 troops and forced them to attack Deng County, which put pressure on the Jingxiang gentry. At the same time, the imperial edict finally arrived. Dong Zhuo was very generous. Not only did he issue an edict to appoint him as the governor of Jingzhou, but he also

He wanted to marry Emperor Ling's only daughter, Princess Wannian, to him.

Outside Caiyang City, in the Zhou army's camp, after receiving the news from Wancheng, Zhou You couldn't help but playfully asked Yan Xiang, who had just returned from Xiangyang, and Hu Jinghui and other trusted generals: "You said, Dong Zhuo
