The first year of Jian'an is the name of the year when Cao Cao moved the Han Emperor to Xudu in history.

The fall of the Yuan family has brought too many changes to the world. Yuan Shao, who was planning to take power in Luoyang, died, and Ma Yue, who had thousands of troops and horses, pounced on the power, and was banned from the Han Emperor's feudal state, and was warned not to enter the Kanto region again in the poor and weak Liang country. Cao Mengde, who was bent on rescuing His Majesty and attacking Montenegro, became the one who entered Luoyang.

It's never easy to just be in charge of the court, especially in this eventful season.

In March of the first year of Jian'an, the people of Hanoi had just planted their seeds, and the northern Tanma brought back Gongsun Zhan, who had seized the entire territory of Jizhou, closed the passes, and strictly guarded them, and ordered his general Guan Jing to lead his troops all the way north. The remnants of the Jizhou Liang general Liyi Commander fled to Luoyang, and asked the imperial court to send troops to attack Jizhou. The imperial court was agitating soldiers and horses at the moment, and a war between the Central Plains and Jizhou was about to break out.

Everyone knows that this will be a tough battle, and Gongsun Chan is famous, and he is still riding with Youzhou...... Another protracted war with millions of corpses is about to begin.

The so-called impermanence of soldiers, when Gongsun Chan was in full swing, he never imagined that there was a fire in the backyard.

The previous Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu and occupied the entire territory of Youzhou with soldiers and horses, claiming to be the assassin of Youzhou, but he didn't want Liu Yu's only son Liu He to flee all the way north under the care of Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou in Youzhou, and ran to the territory of the Wuhuan people. Xian Yuyin, the cavalry commander of Youzhou, even promoted Yan Rou, a native of Yanguo, as Karasuma Sima, and traveled around the Wuhuan and Xianbei lands in the war between Youzhou and Jizhou, recruited tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Hu soldiers, and held high the banner of revenge for Youzhou Mu Liu Yu to counterattack Youzhou.

Speaking of Yan Rou, he is also a bitter man in troubled times.

When he was young, because of the war, Yan Rou was captured by the Wuhuan people, and later because of the defeat of Wuhuan in Xianbei, he was taken prisoner in Wuhuan and Xianbei, and over time because of the Hu people's attitude towards life and the concept of dealing with people, he became their trusted friend, and had a great reputation in the north.

This time, it was Yan Rou's opportunity, Xianbei people and Wuhuan people helped him kill Gongsun Zhan's Wuhuan captain Xing Ju, and then with the support of Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Qi Zhou and others, he became the new captain of Wuhuan Guard, and then raised tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with lightning speed, and approached Yuyang when Gongsun Zhan had not yet returned to the division, and at the same time sent troops and horses to set up an ambush at the boundary bridge.

This is a huge ambush, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses have not returned home for more than two years, as soon as the New Year passes, it is the time when the husband is homesick, Yan Rou and others robbed the news that Gongsun Zhan Changshi Guan Jing led a large army of soldiers and horses to return to Youzhou, and set up an ambush in the place of the boundary bridge.

The sudden attack was launched at the same time in two places, Yuyang Taishou Zou Dan went out of the city to prepare for battle in the land of Luhe, Youzhou Commander Xian Yuyin fought more than 10,000 soldiers with Zou Dan in Luhe, and the Yuyang army was killed and defeated under the tactics of the Han soldiers charging head-on and Hu cavalry wandering left and right, and Yuyang Taishou Zou Dan died in the battle. The counties of Yuyang have looked down on the wind.

Subsequently, Xian Yuyin led his army to the boundary bridge, wanting to help Yan Rou.

The battle of Jieqiao quietly unfolded, and in an instant, it became a prairie fire, Yan Rou's huge offensive caught Guan Jing off guard, and the Gongsun army was defeated and retreated, and thousands of people fled to the river and drowned.

The two battles were won one after another, and the post Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping all over the country killed the Taishou chief officials set up by Gongsun Zhan, and promoted Liu Yu's nephew Liu He as the general of Youzhou...... The local government became less and less concerned with the imperial power, and the prefectures and counties seemed to have become the private fiefdoms of individuals, and it seemed to be extremely correct in the eyes of the people to inherit the father's business.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses from the imperial court marched towards Jizhou under the leadership of the partial generals Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.

After entering the court, the biggest change for Cao Cao was that he had money, food and craftsmanship. With that comes a huge number of troops that can be called up at will.

This expedition to Jizhou, the Xiahou brothers supervised 20,000 troops, and Yingchuan people Xi Zhicai served as military advisors, and went straight to Yecheng, if God helped.

……

On the other hand, Liu Bei fell into a bitter battle.

With a county in Nanyang and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses allocated by the imperial court, Liu Bei has been defending Wancheng for more than several months. If it weren't for Liu Chong, the king of Chen who led Jiuqing, who could contain Sun Jian's troops on the side and wait for an opportunity to disrupt the grain route in his rear, Nanyang County would have fallen long ago.

Liu Bei, who was familiar with the combat of small soldiers and horses, was not so handy with the large corps, while Sun Jian was an expert in the combat of the large corps. Defending Nanyang is a strong attack on the enemy for Liu Bei, but he has no choice, Nanyang is the last county in Jingzhou that is still in the hands of the imperial court.

If this place is lost, Jingzhou will all fall into the hands of Sun Jian...... So he had to hold on.

However, Nanyang can't hold on...... Zhang Fei, the general under his command, led the army to charge several times when fighting with Sun Jian, and killed Han Dang, the general under Sun Jian's command, who made great achievements, so that the entire Jiangdong Army remembered this heroic black-faced young general.

Liu Bei's bitter battle really began at this time.

Defending the city, the enemy army poured up like a tide, and the robes around him died one after another, and the enemy army retreated like a tide, leaving corpses all over the city.

Again, again, again...... Until Liu Bei got used to it.

If no one helps, Liu Bei, who is defending Nanyang, has only one way to die, but God seems unwilling to cut off Liu Bei's way forward like this. On the fifth day of the third month of his fortification of the city, a warrior named Ji Ling came from the rear of Sun Jian's army with more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, destroying the rear army formation of Sun Jian's army, and when the front army returned to help, two generals and commanders with yellow turbans wrapped in their heads killed hundreds of dead soldiers killed through the camp, although there were only a few hundred people left when the hundreds of people rushed out of the camp, but Sun Jian's army was cut off from it, and thousands of soldiers and horses of the rear army were strangled by Ji Ling one after another, and more than half of them were lost when they re-formed the formation.

In desperation, Sun Jian had to temporarily withdraw from the army.

Nanyang was saved, not only did Nanyang be saved, but Liu Bei's desperate defense was also rewarded by God. The remnants of the army left by Yuan Shu were defeated, and Ji Ling, Liu Pi, and He Yi joined the command of Liu Bei, the Taishou of Nanyang, and fought for it.

Wancheng could not be attacked for a long time, and Sun Jian had already spent too much troops and energy in this city, so he led the army to retreat, and widely distributed soldiers and horses in various counties in Jingnan, making a defensive position and not continuing to attack. This gave Liu Bei the opportunity to recuperate, and the righteous act of defending Wancheng also made Liu Bei's name shake the world again, and in the next few months, the name of Liu Bei was like magic, his corporal Lixian, his approachability, and his love for the people like a son, spread like snowflakes throughout the land of Jingyang, and the people and scholars of Jingzhou who were harmed by the war rushed to Nanyang, and rushed to Nanyang to guard Liu Bei.

After Cao Cao, who was far away in Luoyang, learned of Liu Bei's actions, he was now the emperor of the table, and crowned Liu Bei as the general of Zhennan and led the pastor of Jingzhou.

Although this Jingzhou pastor was useless, and there was not an inch of land in the entire Jingzhou except Nanyang, it gave Liu Bei unimaginable political encouragement. At the same time, it also stimulated Liu Bei's ambition to compete with Sun Jian...... Take Nanyang County as a springboard and swear to fight for Jingzhou with the Sun family!

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the autumn of the first year of Jian'an, the ongoing war between the north and the south has reached a stalemate stage, this year the offensive and defensive situation changed, and Gongsun Zhan, who originally occupied all his might, lost his base camp because of his temporary arrogance and failed to fight steadily in Youzhou, but pushed himself into a multi-sided Jedi with an absolute advantage.

In the northeast, the soldiers and horses of Liu He, the general of Youzhou, under the leadership of Yan Rou, continued to advance and oppress Jizhou, while the south also faced the continuous offensive of the Xiahou brothers of the imperial court...... Gongsun Zhan, who only knew martial arts and did not understand cultural governance, tasted the bitter fruits of reckless military force, and the people were disappointed and lost the hearts of the people.

Before the arrival of winter, Liu Bei of Wancheng received guests from afar, a guest he did not expect but also made him ecstatic.

During the half-year truce, Liu Bei accepted too many guests. In the past, most of the officials in the north fled to Jingzhou under the leadership of the respected elder Liu Biao, but the Jingyang Rebellion led by Sun Jian made those famous scholars and literati from the Central Plains go to Nanyang for refuge alone...... Maybe some of the evacuations are too nice, they all know that Nanyang is not a safe place, they just moved to their homeland under the name of Liu Bei.

No, just Liu Bei is worthy of their lives.

Although they have accepted too many celebrities, and even many of them are non-productive scholars, they used to have vast land in their hometown to provide for them, but the truckload of land deeds is not of much help to Nanyang now. Despite this, Liu Bei still took the trouble to accept all those who came to him for help.

Liu Bei has always been like this, treating everyone who comes to him gently. Because he knew that he had nothing, and he was not born with anything to rely on!

Only by doing everything he can and doing everything he can can he do can he hope that God will send a little pity to help him achieve great things.

There are strong enemies outside, and there are worries inside, and Liu Bei, who can't afford his life, can indulge him.

In this case, Liu Bei walked out of the mansion quickly wearing a linen robe, and met the white horse general who had a relationship on the battlefield in Jizhou at the gate of Nanyang City, which was crowded. Among the crowd of pedestrians, the man stood under a leafy tree with his own horse, carrying a silver spear wrapped in sackcloth, and in his hip pocket the armor that had been soaked in blood, and standing there in a gray robe, standing as straight as a towering tree behind him.

"Yes...... Brother Zilong? Liu Bei stepped forward a few steps quickly, and when he got closer, he saw his face clearly, and then he ran away with great joy, and said loudly: "I heard that it was the old man of Jizhou, Liu thought that it might be Brother Zilong, but he was not sure, thousands of miles away, how did Brother Zilong find it, this way, you can suffer!" ”

"Zhao has seen Xuande Gong and came to defect, if he does not give up, he hopes that you will take him in."

Zhao Yun looked at the man who said loudly on the battlefield in Jizhou that the rise and fall of the Han family was the responsibility of the husband, and arched his hands reservedly...... At this time, he knew that this man was the lord who was worth fighting for all his life.
