Chapter 195: The Princes Merged with Fire

In the next year, Liu Yu placed heavy troops in Hujiao Pass and Tongguan Pass, and began to close the country and recuperate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is also something that cannot be helped, Liu Yu poured all his elite soldiers and horses to stop Dong Zhuo, lost a large number of soldiers and grain and grass, and now he is unable to attack other places, so he can only do his best to protect the fruits of his victory.

Luoyang regained its stability, and everything gradually got on track. Although Liu Yu was very financially tight, he still tried his best to build a decent palace for Liu Xie, and Liu Xie also understood Liu Yu's difficulties. At the same time, under the promotion of the ministers, Liu Yu had to agree to let Liu Xie, who was only eleven years old, marry two wives, namely Dong Cheng and Fu Wan's daughter, Dong Cheng's daughter is a nobleman, and Fu Wan's daughter is the queen. Dong Chengguan was promoted to Taifu, and he was also promoted to Dasi Nong.

Liu Xie also announced the change of Yuan Jian'an, and the next year will be the first year of Jian'an (191 AD), which will advance this era name by a few years.

One dragon and two phoenixes! Liu Yudu wiped a cold sweat for Liu Xie.

Liu Yu didn't know how Liu Xiedongfang spent that day, he was so young, could he do it? But this is not what Liu Yu is worried about. There is always a first time in life, and this process is still necessary.

Liu Yu became a turtle with a shrunken head and took care of himself. The princes were lively with each other, and they constantly rubbed and fought with each other.

At the same time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban rose again, gathering millions of people, and the leaders were not equal, making the entire Central Plains a miasma.

Sun Jian recruited troops all the way, and his strength reached 20,000.

Sun Jian knew that Liu Biao would not let himself reach Jingzhou so easily, and if he was not prepared, it was very likely that Liu Biao would be destroyed.

Liu Biao went to Jingzhou, where there were many families, alone, and relied on his personal charm and super high political means to master Jingzhou in a very short period of time, and was called the head of the eight horses of Jingzhou by the world. It can be seen that Liu Biao is not a cowardly scholar at all, but a figure with all-round talents in civil and military affairs.

In the face of such an opponent, Sun Jian must not be extremely careful.

As Sun Jian expected, when passing through Jiangxia, Sun Jian encountered the resistance of Liu Biao's subordinate Huang Zu. However, Sun Jian's miscalculation was that Liu Biao sent almost half of his troops to block the attack, which also caused Sun Jian to lose more than half of his troops and suffered heavy casualties. Liu Biao knew that Sun Jian was named the general of Zhennan to lead the history of Jingzhou, but he came to take his place, and Liu Biao would not let Sun Jian arrive in Jingzhou alive. Maybe this time Sun Jian didn't get the jade seal, and God favored him a little, so Sun Jian was only seriously injured, and under the protection of his henchmen, he led the remnants to flee back to Changsha. In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Liu Biao sent troops to attack Changsha, but Sun Jian's subordinates refused to defend the city, so that Liu Biao had no choice but to retreat to Jiangling.

Subsequently, Sun Jian, who recovered from his injuries, also began a revenge battle against Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was defeated and retreated, if it were not for Huang Zu's army, Jingzhou might have been broken by Sun Jian. In this war, Sun Jiande's son Sun Ce also began to show his prominence, and his bravery was no less than Sun Jian's, and he was deeply recognized by Sun Jian's generals.

There was also a huge contradiction between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. After Yuan Shu left Luoyang, he headed for his old nest Nanyang. Yuan Shao led his troops to stop him and demanded that he hand over the jade seal. The two couldn't get along, and they began to get angry. In the end, the gap in strength, Yuan Shao was defeated and fled in a hurry, Yuan Shu was also arrogant, and began to claim to be the head of the Yuan family. The bigwigs of the Yuan family in Nanyang also shifted their attention to Yuan Shu and increased their support for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao, who returned to Bohai, also began to recruit troops and reserve combat power, and he was also supported by the Yuan family bosses in the north. The Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes was finally divided into two because of the contradiction between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao began to be dissatisfied with a small Bohai County, and at the same time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Rebellion, Bohai no longer became a base for Yuan Shao to achieve hegemony. Yuan Shao and his strategists began to plot to seize the land of a state as the foundation for future hegemony in the world.

Yuan Shu relied on the power of his family to easily control the land from Nanyang to Shouchun, and the vast population and land made the princes look sideways. After Yuan Shu obtained the jade seal, his ambition slowly grew, and he was not satisfied with the status quo, and began to set his sights on the rich Jingzhou. However, when Yuan Shu and Sun Jian were crusading against Dong Zhuo, they formed a hatred, and Yuan Shu felt that Sun Jian was much more difficult to deal with than Liu Biao, so he first helped Liu Biao attack Sun Jian.

Someone came over to help, and Liu Biao, who was bullied by Sun Jian, naturally agreed with joy. Yuan Shu and Liu Biao's army united and beat Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's strength was not very strong, and he couldn't resist the attacks of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao at all, and he almost hung up on the battlefield. Sun Jian led his troops to retreat to Changsha to hold on, and the hatred with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu could not be resolved.

The contradiction between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, is also getting bigger and bigger. Gongsun Zhan, who was appointed as the general of the five officials, also began to have no one in his eyes, and became more and more tough on the issue of dealing with foreign races, which contradicted the ideas of the moderate Youzhou assassin Liu Yu. How does Gongsun Chan look at Liu Yu, how is it unpleasant. However, Gongsun Chan is still Liu Yu's subordinate, and Liu Yu is lenient and benevolent in government, appeases the people, and is deeply popular. Even if Gongsun Chan is dissatisfied, he will not choose to attack Liu Yu when he is the weakest. So the current state of the two sides is that they don't agree with each other.

Cao Cao, who achieved a small goal in life, once again returned to his hometown of Qian County, and it can be said that he has returned to his hometown. Cao Cao used his reputation in the anti-Dong war and his position as a general of Zhengxi to continuously recruit strong men to enrich the army and achieve greater ambitions. The Cao family's property was not much, when the previous crusade against Dong Zhuo, the Cao family was almost hollowed out, and now Cao Cao is going to recruit troops again, Cao Song really can't get used to Cao Cao's continuous defeat, and he quarreled with Cao Cao in anger, and then Cao Song left Qian County and began to travel the world, no longer paying attention to Cao Cao.

After Liu Dai returned to Yanzhou, he had a conflict with Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and others, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, was jealous of Liu Dai's mediocre talent and could hold up the position of the assassin history, and secretly began to get acquainted with the officials who were dissatisfied with Liu Dai in Yanzhou, and became a large force, often opposing Liu Dai's decrees. In order to maintain his rule, Liu Dai began to constantly suppress these people who opposed him. This makes the situation in Yanzhou very complicated.

The fire of the princes is what Liu Yu wants to see the most. Only when they continue to fight together, Liu Yu can finally come out to pick peaches. What Liu Yu is doing now is to accumulate grain and build a high wall to reserve combat power for the future hegemony.

In fact, most of the princes knew that after getting Luoyang, Liu Yu's strength would become very strong, and if he was allowed to develop, the other princes would have nothing to do with him. But Liu Yu is now closed off like a turtle, and others have no way to start, so they can only watch Liu Yu develop slowly.

In order to be able to confront Liu Yu in the future, some princes began to speed up the progress of their plans. And Yuan Shao is the most nervous person.
