If you don't attack Qingzhou, it's naturally not because Liu Zheng doesn't look down on Qingzhou.

But Liu Zheng and Liu Bei's thoughts are actually similar.

If Liu Zheng attacked Qingzhou at this time, it would inevitably cause the Yuan brothers to unite with each other, and it was not easy for them to let their brothers break the wall.

That's why he decided to give up attacking Qingzhou at a critical moment and give Yuan Shang a place to rest and recruit troops for a while.

After all, after all these years of devastation, Qingzhou has no oil and water to fish, even if the population is not large, it has not been in the war in the last year, and he has not been able to recuperate, even if Liu Zheng fights down, it will be a drag, and there is no way to bring him much benefit.

He can fight at any time, so why rush for a while.

Anyway, he has already taken the land of Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, and his power has expanded for a while, so he can slowly digest the land of these three states first, and a Qingzhou will not be in his eyes.

After this battle, the imperial court, Yuan Shao, Liu Zheng, and the soldiers and horses of the three parties all suffered heavy losses.

It's harvest season again.

No one wanted to continue fighting, so a big battle gradually subsided, and everyone recuperated in order to fight again in the future.

Liu Bei sent someone to sue for peace, and Liu Zheng agreed, after all, he also had to find a way to consolidate his territory first.

October 191.

Liu Zheng returned to Jianye City from Xuzhou.

Xuzhou has been completely firmly controlled by him, Wen Ping's 20,000 troops have been stationed in Xuzhou, plus some soldiers and horses of Guan Hai and Zang Ba, 40,000 troops are stationed in Xuzhou, which is enough to deal with the sudden attack of Qingzhou in the north and Liu Bei in Yanzhou.

Tai Shi Ci continued to return to Huainan to guard Huainan, and on the Chen side, Liu Zheng decided to let Chen Wang Liu Chong return to Chen Guo to guard after thinking twice.

First, Liu Zheng appoints people on the basis of merit, since Chen Wang and Liu Zhong have decided to take refuge in him, then Liu Zheng will naturally not have any doubts, and he does not suspect that he should not use suspicions.

Since he accepted the refuge of King Chen and Liu Pet, if he continues to doubt him, he is afraid that Liu Pet's heart will be chilled.

Besides, the vicinity of Chen Guo is Liu Chong's territory, and with him in charge, Liu Zheng can rest assured.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Liu Pet is really a wall-to-wall grass, surrender and rebel, far away from the core area, Liu Zheng can lead troops to recruit at any time, and at the same time recognize whether Liu Pet is really taking refuge.

This is also why he is willing to let Chen Wang Liu Chong continue to sit in Yuzhou.

The soldiers and horses of Gan Ning, Sun Jian and others, who were originally stationed in Changsha County and Jiangxia County, went north to Xiangyang and Nanyang at this time.

All the war has settled, and the imperial court does not have so much effort to manage Liu Zheng at the moment, after all, Lu Zhi, the newly appointed general, needs to re-manage the imperial court, and many things must be done by himself.

Lu Zhi is still a loyal and patriotic person, he still has a little nostalgia for the Han Dynasty, so he doesn't want to see the Han who has been inherited for more than 400 years, just gone, and he is still making the last effort.

Strive to make this desperate man able to get on the right track and regain his former glory.

Now in the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, there is not much territory that can be controlled.

In addition to the Sili region, the places where the imperial court can still have control are only Yanzhou, Xiliang, and Bingzhou.

These three places.

Even Yizhou has not obeyed the orders of the imperial court, and Liu Yan is at ease to be his own soil emperor in Yizhou.

In addition, the Qiang people in Xiliang have not given up, and there will still be some rebellions every winter, and in recent times, the reason why Lu Zhi did not bring troops and came directly to support, the war in Yanzhou and Jingzhou was actually because of the Qiang people in Xiliang who were contained.

Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo wanted to monopolize Xiliang, and Han Sui fought with Liangzhou at this time.

Han Sui is naturally not an easy person, he has tens of thousands of rebels of the Qiang people before, although they were recruited by the imperial court, but these people are a regular **, and they will explode at any time.

It's just that Dong Zhuo just wants to provoke him, so the two sides will fight in Xiliang.

Originally, Dong Zhuo's guy had an advantage, but Han Sui had a sworn brother named Ma Teng, this guy was a difficult person, leading tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Dong Zhuo, and there would be a big battle in Wuwei County.

Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, who was only 16 years old, joined the army with his father, and on the battlefield, he was like a divine soldier descending from heaven, leading thousands of men and horses to defeat Dong Zhuo's 30,000 army.

Dong Zhuo's generals, Guo Yan, Li Dao and others, were unable to get any benefits under Ma Chao.

Dong Zhuo suffered heavy losses, and was directly killed by Ma Teng's soldiers and horses, the original Xiliang two hegemons, Dong Zhuo actually died, and now the entire Xiliang has fallen into the hands of Han Sui.

Originally, the purpose of placing a Dong Zhuo in Xiliang was to contain Han Sui, but now the entire Xiliang where Dong Zhuo died fell into the hands of Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Lu Zhi, who was in Luoyang, naturally couldn't stand it, after all, if Han Sui and Ma Teng were a little more ambitious, they could directly kill from Chang'an City to Luoyang.

That's why Lu Zhi took some of the remaining soldiers and horses in Luoyang and decided to go to conquer Han Sui.

But it's not without good news. A group of Xiongnu soldiers and horses who had originally attacked the people of the Han court in the Binzhou area surrendered to the court.

This will be the Xiongnu soldiers and horses is the Southern Xiongnu single Yu Fuluo.

Speaking of which, this Yu Fuluo is not Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu, he is just the son of Lao Shan Yu.

Between the Han court and the Xiongnu, in fact, it has been in a state of peace and even semi-alliance for decades.

There is no large-scale invasion on the front, but there are always small fights in private.

When Yuan Shao was in turmoil before, the imperial court even went to the Xiongnu to borrow soldiers and horses, preparing to unite the Xiongnu's soldiers and horses to deal with Karasuma people.

It was at this time that this Yu Fuluo was seconded from the Xiongnu soldiers and horses by the imperial court.

And Yu Fuluo and others were seconded to the Han Dynasty, which gave some other rebellious forces in the court of the Southern Xiongnu a chance, and they killed Lao Shan Yu and directly established themselves as kings.

Yu Furo and others led a part of the soldiers and horses to fight outside, and it was too late to go back when they received the news.

Yu Fuluo asked the imperial court to send troops to help him suppress the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu royal court, but the imperial court was facing the attack of Liu Zheng, Yuan Shao and others at that time, and where there were soldiers and horses to help these Southern Xiongnu, the imperial court put this matter on hold.

Yu Fuluo only did not get a response from the imperial court, and he was resentful and blamed the imperial court.

At this time, there were some Yellow Turban bandits in the Hexi area of Bingzhou, who were making a rebellion and attacking Hedong, Taiyuan and other places.

Yu Fuluo also found an opportunity to unite these Yellow Turban Army and plunder grain and grass together in Bingzhou.

However, this is not a long-term solution, and the imperial court is also aware of the danger of this group of Huns.

So send someone to surrender.
