In the following time, Yuan Shao frequently attacked the city.
Of course, the intensity is far less intense than the siege of Xunyang City.
Because in Xunyang City, the troops invested were huge and the losses were heavy, and Yuan Shao was also extremely distressed.
However, it is obvious that Yuan Shao's siege strength has decreased, and Lu Bu's defense has also weakened.
It seems that all the engineering materials are concentrated in Xunyang City.
For example, the new trebuchet was never seen in several other cities.
And when Yuan Shao and the others entered Xunyang City, they found that all the new trebuchets had been destroyed, and there was not one left.
A month later, Yuan Shao occupied a total of four cities.
Cao Cao was as cunning as a fox and also occupied three cities.
What is infinitely shocking is that Yuan Shu has occupied eight cities alone.
Yuan Shu's strength is comparable to Cao Cao, even if it is slightly exceeded, it will not be too much. and Yuan Shao presumably, it is far behind.
But what people didn't expect was that it was Yuan Shu, who was not the strongest, who captured the most cities.
This can't help but make people secretly call Yuan Shu's shit lucky.
Not only that, but a month later, Yuan Shu broke through all the way, and took all the remaining cities in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County with lightning speed.
Under Yuan Shu's fierce offensive, Lü Bu's army was defeated and fled.
It is really a wind to flee, a city surrounded by Yuan Shu for less than three days, Lu Bu must be evacuated.
This siege speed once made Yuan Shao and Cao Cao suspect that Lu Buqi was really using some kind of conspiracy.
Because in the war that Lu Bu participated in, there was no shortage of intrigues and tricks.
But no matter how much they wanted to break their heads, they didn't figure out what kind of conspiracy Lu Bu would use.
Any conspiracy, in the face of absolute strength, is so vulnerable.
But now that Lu Bu has lost these cities, he has no ability to recapture them at all However, why did Lu Bu give up all these cities to Yuan Shu The two Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were extremely depressed, how good it would be if Lu Bu gave them all these cities They didn't believe that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses would have such a strong combat effectiveness that they could reach the point where Lu Bu's army would flee in despair.
In short, a month later, the entire Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, except for Yuan Shao who occupied four cities and Cao Cao who occupied three cities, all the remaining territories belonged to Yuan Shu.
Moreover, the territory of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu is far away from their newly acquired cities, and there is no possibility that these cities can be kept at all.
The city they had worked so hard to capture would eventually be occupied by Yuan Shu, which was what made them feel the most disgusting.
But they don't have the slightest solution to this.
It seems that they can only wait for the price to sell, and sell these cities to Yuan Shu, so they can't let them work in vain After obtaining almost two counties, Yuan Shu's strength increased greatly, and his heart swelled unconsciously.
The only fly in the ointment is that Lu Bu actually moved all the people away, so that although he got the land of two counties, the people were seriously insufficient, and he had to mobilize the people to Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
Of course, this matter is not difficult for Yuan Shu.
There's no way, who made the Yuan family the top family of the Three Kingdoms The Yuan family's hidden black households do not know how many, so they can naturally be mobilized to Lujiang County and Jiujiang County.
Moreover, in addition to these families and black households, the Yuan family can also get people from other channels.
All in all, in short, as long as there is territory, as for population and money and food, it is not too much of a problem for Yuan Shu.
After obtaining Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, Yuan Shu already owned the land of the four counties, and suddenly, his strength had jumped to the rank of a great prince who coexisted with Yuan Shao.
The power of the Yuan family is too huge, if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu join forces, then the entire Han Dynasty will probably be the world of their brothers.
In more than 20 days, Lu Bu has successfully evacuated all the people of Lujiang County and Jiujiang County to the four counties of Jiangdong.
Fortunately, Lu Bu now has spare land in his hands, even if all the people of Lujiang and Jiujiang counties are relocated to the four counties of Jiangdong, the land is more than enough.
The work of distributing the people will be handed over to Xun Yu to do.
The job that Lu Bu has to do now is to gather all the naval forces and prepare to fight to the death with the allied forces of the princes on the river.
At present, Lu Bu's army is still too few.
Even after the expansion of the army, the current number of naval troops is only about 50,000.
In terms of coalition forces, strictly speaking, in fact, only Liu Biao has a water army on the right track.
But Liu Biao has several extremely powerful naval commanders in his hands, as long as they are given time, they can train a large number of naval troops.
Among these commanders, the two most powerful are Cai Mao and Zhang Yun.
Now Lu Bu is trying to get rid of these two people.
As long as these two people can be eliminated, the strength of the coalition army's naval force can be reduced by at least 30%.
At present, the task of getting rid of the two has been handed over to Jia Xu to do, but so far, there has been no definite news.

Now Lu Bu is constantly recruiting troops and expanding the naval army.
In fact, if the infantry can be pulled to serve as a naval army, an additional 100,000 naval troops will be able to come immediately.
It's just that those infantry are not good at water combat, and many of them can't even swim.
Even after a short period of training, these infantry will not make much progress.
Instead of using these infantry to transform into a naval army, it is better to directly recruit those young men with excellent water ability to train, and the effect is better.
What's more, once the water battle is lost, 100,000 infantry will be put into the final defense.
Lu Bu believed that if the battle situation was really tragic to that extent, the coalition forces would definitely not be able to please him.
Lu Bu didn't believe that the coalition would have the courage to fight him to the end.
As early as January, the four counties of Jiangdong posted conscription lists.
The general conscription of princes is mandatory, and it doesn't matter if you want it or not.
Those who are over fifteen years old and below forty years old will directly join the army.
Even when there is a shortage of soldiers, this age group is even expanded.
If you encounter a rebel thief, it is like the Yellow Turban Army, regardless of age, men, women, and children, all of them are pulled to join the army as cannon fodder.
This is also one of the reasons why the population decreased sharply during the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
And the conscription list posted by Lu Bu is not mandatory, but completely voluntary.
First of all, although Lu Bu lacked enough naval troops, the number would not be too large.
Another 50,000 is almost enough.
Second, if it is forcibly recruited, 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 can't do it, and he won't do anything like forced conscription.
Of course, if the source of troops is really not enough, Lu Bu will also think of some other methods
