    The weather is getting warmer and the ice and snow are gradually melting.

    Liu Ke spent a peaceful year in Youzhou, and everything was calm.

    Time flies, and before you know it, Liu Ke has been on the expedition for nearly a year.

    From the battle of wits and courage with the allies to the destruction of Yuan Shao and the stabilization of Jizhou, Liu Ke spent too much time.

    Originally, these tasks could be left to his subordinates, but Liu Ke gave up after thinking about it.

    With an army of 600,000 going out for war, who else could we entrust to other than yourself?

    It¡¯s not that Liu Ke doesn¡¯t trust his subordinates, but that he shoulders the responsibility of being a monarch.

    Now, only the last battle is left.

    "When we defeat the alien coalition, no matter what, we have to rest for a few years." Liu Kedao.

    It is not advisable to resort to force!

    Yangzhou is rich, but it cannot be exploited excessively. This is Liu Ke's loose approach to governance.

    "Don't look at Liu Ke being cool and free in the north, this is a pain for Lu Su.

    In order to win, Lu Su worked extremely hard.

    The previous plan was to fight for half a year and prepare supplies for one year.

    But I didn¡¯t expect that it would actually drag on to a protracted battle.

    In addition, Liu Ke ordered Tieniu City to start construction at full capacity, and military expenditures had been exhausted three months ago.

    Lu Su came forward to raise a large amount of funds, which helped Liu Ke barely survive this winter.

    Yangzhou government has a good reputation!

    ?This is known to all the world.

    However, it took Lu Su a lot of effort to get all strata to pay, but fortunately the supplies were not interrupted.

    However, Lu Su still gave Liu Ke a rough deadline.

    That¡¯s three months!

    The battle must be resolved within three months, otherwise the Yangzhou government will be seriously injured.

    In previous wars, Liu Ke was always able to subsidize some military expenses.  For example, Xiwu, the cattle, sheep and war horses in the north, Gongsun Du's savings, etc.

    It¡¯s different now, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both poor!

    In order to fight against Liu Ke, they recruited troops on a large scale, spent money like water, and the treasury was running away with rats.

    Cao Cao is better, but any compensation must be paid in installments.

    For Liu Ke in this battle, the loss of soldiers was not much, but it cost a huge amount of money.

    Rather than seizing Jizhou and Youzhou, it is better to say that Liu Ke spent money to buy them.

    But it can¡¯t be said that Liu Ke suffered a loss.

    Liu Ke had been working steadily before, gradually expanding his territory, so Yangzhou's treasury was always sufficient.

    But after the battle with the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, Liu Ke did become a little radical.

    "My lord, it's not time to rest yet!" Guo Jia reminded, fearing that Liu Ke would slack off.

    After all, the next step is to face an alien army of 800,000 people, which will be even more stressful.

    "Don't worry, I'm measured." Liu Kedao.

    "Spring is here, and the battle plan is about to be launched." Guo Jiadao.

    "Well, I have decided that 80,000 cavalry will leave Lulongsai." Liu Kedao said that this had been discussed before, with Zhao Yun as the commander-in-chief and Taishi Ci as the deputy general.

    "The infantry must also be prepared. We will advance slowly to cover the cavalry." Liu Kedao.

    In other words, Liu Ke decided to move the battlefield to the north.

    Of course Guo Jia would have no objection.

    The Yangzhou Army is already very skilled in the battle formation of ballistae vehicles and can handle cavalry assaults.

    The terrain in the north is flatter and suitable for large group army operations.

    "At the same time, let Gan Ning lead the Chishui Army to the north, join up with Ding Feng, and use Gan Ning as the commander-in-chief to carry out joint operations. They will land in Liaoxi County from the Bohai Sea. Once the aliens in Liucheng come out, they will immediately occupy Liucheng." Liu Kedao.

    Liu Ke not only had to defeat the enemy head-on, but also touched the enemy's lair.

    "Gongsun Kang shouldn't refuse to use the road." Guo Jiadao.

    After the last shock, Gongsun Kang became very honest.

    "It's hard to say. Let Gan Ning act carefully and be on guard. The foreign tribe has 800,000 troops. It's hard to guarantee that Gongsun Kang won't have other intentions." Liu Kedao.

    For allies, trust must be given, but guarding against others is indispensable.

    "Understood." Guo Jiadao.

    In this way, Liu Ke¡¯s orders were conveyed one by one.

    Zhao Yun led 80,000 cavalry and set off first.

    "Ziyi, this time we work side by side?, the opportunity is rare.  "Zhao Yun said.

    "Yes, I always feel that the lord deliberately keeps us apart." Taishi said lovingly, expressing his closeness.

    In the next battle, the two of them will cooperate with each other, and of course they must communicate first.

    "The Lord has given us a lot of autonomy in this battle. As long as we can hit the enemy's weak spot, we can fight no matter how we fight." Zhao Yundao said.

    "My lord knows very well that cavalry operations cannot be carried out step by step. There are too many surprises." Tai Shici said.

    "What are your thoughts on this battle?" Zhao Yundao said.

    Tai Shici thought for a while and said, "The first thing we have to do is hide our whereabouts."

    "How to do it specifically?" Zhao Yun asked.

    "Spread out the scouts and intercept all the war horses." Tai Shi Ci said.

    Today¡¯s messengers are easy to recognize because the messenger must ride a horse and cannot walk on two legs to deliver messages.

    "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Tian Chou smiled bitterly, "We will encounter many Wuhuan tribes, ranging in number from hundreds to thousands."

    "Regulate the tribes along the way?" Tai Shici suggested.

    However, Tian Chou still expressed his opposition and said: "No, these tribes are not loyal to Tadun. Once there is a personal threat to them, I am afraid they will seek help from most of them, which will be counterproductive."

    "Then what should we do?" Tai Shici said.

    "Actually, it's best to do nothing. If you see the Wuhuan tribe, just give them a few warnings." Tian Chou said.

    Zhao Yun thought for a while and decided to adopt Tian Chou's opinion.

    After all, Tian Chou is the master of Beidi.

    This is also the reason why Liu Ke sent Tian Chou to accompany the army.

    Tai Shici scratched his head and said: "Forget it, let nature take its course. If we encounter a large Wuhuan army, we will resort to guerrilla warfare."

    Liu Ke had promoted the concept of guerrilla warfare in the army. Taishi Ci thought it was interesting, so he wrote it down. If you can win, then fight. If you can't, then run away, and harass you from time to time.

    Of course, the concept of guerrilla warfare is not suitable for publicity, because Yangzhou belongs to the strong side, and Liu Ke will feel uncomfortable if the enemy takes advantage of him.

    In this way, 80,000 cavalry set off from Lulongsai in a mighty manner and headed north.

    After receiving the order, Gan Ning also went north to the Bohai Sea to join Ding Feng.

    A great war seems to be unfolding just like this.

    One day later, Liu Ke¡¯s main force was also ready.

    "It's time for us to set off," Liu Kedao said.

    "Lord, our army will definitely win this battle!" All the generals said in unison, with great momentum.

    At noon that day, Liu Ke took an oath and announced the Northern Expedition.

    "This time, we must decide the winner!" Lu Bu said.

    "We will wait until your sheep number exceeds ours." Dian Wei said disdainfully.

    "Hmph, just kill any foreigner at will." Lu Bu said.

    Everything should have gone smoothly, but something unexpected happened.  Liu Ke's main force had just advanced for a while when it encountered a problem.

    "How could it be so unlucky?" Guo Jia couldn't help but complain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
