Although the newly joined Yang Fu has been active in Xiliang and other places for a long time, he has been observing the situation in the world.

He suggested, "Lord, why don't you ask Liu Biao in Jingzhou for help, he is very close to Wancheng, and it is very convenient to support." ”

Tong Yuan said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu attacked Liu Biao and captured Wancheng, plus Yuan Shao and Liu Biao formed an alliance, how can they respond to our request for help?" ”

Yang Fu said, "Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou is not on good terms with us, he takes King Wen of Zhou as his goal and always advertises himself as a moral celebrity. Now that Cao Cao is attacking Zhang Xiushi, Liu Biao has a strong sense of defending the land, and he is surrounded by the weak Zhang Xiu, or the powerful and inflated Cao Cao, presumably he will make a choice. ”

Tong Yuan asked, "In this way, as long as we push it, we can let Liu Biao protect Zhang Xiu, and the person who does this should have an excellent reputation and meet Liu Biao's appetite." ”

Yang Fu said, "The lord is wise, so Zhang embroidery is worry-free. ”

Tong Yuan thought about it, before Ma Riyan's matter, Liu Biao also reprimanded Yuan Shu on the table, and later Ma Riyan got out of trouble, and he didn't specifically thank him.

However, Ma Riyan was old, and he couldn't bear to be tired of this old man running around.

Suddenly, he patted his head and said, "How did I forget about him?" ”

"That Guangling Chen Duan worshiped Ma Riyan as a teacher, and did his best to help Ma Lao get out of trouble, and his reputation was very good. It was up to him to meet Liu Biao, firstly, to mention Ma Riyan as a student to thank Liu Biao, and secondly, to tell Yuan Shu's hateful deeds and escape from danger, and to get closer to him. ”

Tong Yuan generously took out a batch of Dong family property, and asked Chen Duan and other fifty people to go to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao and ask him to immediately send troops to support Zhang Xiu.

This Liu Biao is the same as in history, and he has previously expressed condolences to Zhang Ji, who died by a stray arrow, with the idea that "the master did not fulfill his etiquette". Now, at the request of the famous scholar Chen Duan, he personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses, as well as Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue, Wen Ping, Wang Wei and other military generals to support Zhang Xiu.

At the same time, Kunyang County, Yingchuan County.

One is a slightly shorter, middle-aged man who drinks and writes poetry, and said, "Emperor Guangwu is here to break more than dozens of times the strong enemy, and the fate of the world will be decided in a battle!" ”

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, revealing incomparable confidence and domineering, and said, "However, I will use another way of playing to let the world know who is today's hero!" ”

The handsome young strategist on the side said, "Lord, please rest assured, Wenruo's side is ready, and the opponent on Wancheng's side will only defend and will not find out the real situation." ”

Cao Cao smiled and continued, "Fengxiao, this strategy of yours coincides with me, although there is no opportunity to directly promote the upper strategy, but the middle strategy is also shocking. ”

Guo Jia smiled and replied, "Thanks to Ming Gong's trust, such a risky but interesting thing can be realized. ”

"Hahahaha!"

The two laughed heartily, adding a lot of excitement to the silence after winter.

In the second year of Jian'an, the war in various places quietly came.

On the side of Hanoi County, Yu Ban and "Cao Cao" did not continue to advance, and after appointing Dong Zhao as the Taishou and promoting a wave of Shi officials, they temporarily quieted down.

The remnants of Han Xian in Wangwushan were soon absorbed by Wei Qi and others, and the entire Hedong County was now under Tong Yuan's control.

The Wancheng area is relatively warmer, so the soldiers and horses of Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are still in a state of confrontation with the powerful Cao army.

Although Zhang Xiu had the idea of taking the initiative to attack, Liu Biao already had an attitude of calming things down, and he saw that Cao Cao did not continue to attack, but fortunately he kept to himself and consumed with the other party.

They didn't know that the Cao camp on the opposite side had already been mostly empty, and Cao Cao had already moved to the vicinity of Xuchang with most of his soldiers to prepare for a special operation.

Not far away in Luoyang City, Dong Cheng has rebuilt the palace and city wall, and Luoyang City, which has only more than 100 households, has gathered tens of thousands of people again, and with the arrival of spring, it has regained its vitality little by little.

"Uncle Dong Guo, this work of rebuilding Luoyang can be said to go down in history."

Dong Chengxun followed the prestige, only to see Duan Xuan personally leading a large army to the outside of Luoyang City.

Dong Cheng was slightly surprised, and immediately returned to his honest appearance, slowly opened the city gate, and welcomed, "Isn't this General Duan, who is guarding the Son of Heaven?" Why didn't you come to Luoyang in Tongguan and Hangu Pass? ”

Duan Xuan smiled and said, "Li Wenyou, General Li's side noticed the movements of the Cao army in Hanoi and Wancheng, and especially asked me to lead a large army to deter them. ”

Dong Cheng's fat face twitched imperceptibly, and said with a smile, "Haha, there is General Duan here, where is Cao Cao's opponent." By the way, now that Luoyang has been repaired, I don't know when the Son of Heaven will return to the old capital? ”

Duan Xuan looked left and right, made sure that there were no unreliable people around, and whispered, "It is estimated that it will be soon, and when the fighting near Luoyang subsides, it will be escorted by the army." ”

Dong Cheng also lowered his voice and replied, "Be careful, it should be so." There are General Li, Yang Taiwei and General Duan, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty will not be long in coming. ”

……

In the Jiangdong region, Sun Ce has made amazing achievements in a relatively short period of time.

In this world, he still sent troops to Danyang to attack Liu Miao and others. However, because Liu Pi, Gong Du and others skillfully transferred soldiers and horses to him, plus Sun Jian's subordinates, Zhou Yu and other friends led troops to take refuge, he did not use the jade seal to borrow troops from Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce, who holds the jade seal of the country, is bent on becoming a figure like Xiang Yu or Liu Xiu. In just over half a year, he pacified the four counties of Jiangdong and gathered a group of scholars and heroes, which can be called the fastest riser in the first two years of Jian'an.

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Ce, who was his "vassal", rising and growing rapidly, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In all respects, he was the leader of the Shi clan in the world and the most powerful prince. But in just two years, he seems to have entered a predicament.

Sun Ce is his theoretical vassal, and of course he can't break the situation from here. To the west is Liu Biao, this guy has been fighting with him for several years, and he looks very weak, but he is quite talented, and he beat his strongest "subordinate" Sun Jian to death.

He looked at his side, there was no general who could deal with Huang Zu for the time being, and he was not sure that he would win against Liu Biao.

In the northeast, it was Liu Bei, who was originally a subordinate of his ally Gongsun Zhan, but as a result, he occupied Xuzhou, not to mention, but also became the assassin of Yuzhou, nominally fighting with him for territory.

Later, the two sides actually fought for control of the southern part of Xuzhou, this big-eared thief had few soldiers and horses, but he was very capable of fighting, and he was able to win more with less in several battles.

Fortunately, he was not good at governing his subordinates, and as a result, Xuzhou Haoqiang, the big clan and the Danyang soldiers rebelled together, led Lu Bu into Xuzhou, and drove away Liu Bei and the Mi family and other scholars.

Now Lü Bu maintains a delicate relationship with him against Cao Cao, but with a slight friction.
