Guangling County and Xiapi Kingdom could not stop Yuan Shu's troops at all, and Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard the news of the army's successive victories.

The 20,000 troops led by Liu Xun, who sent troops on the same day as Yuan Shu, to crusade against Sun Ce were also steadily advancing, crossing the Yangtze River and taking Qu'a County directly, to destroy Sun Ce's lair and strangle Sun Ce's forces in the cradle.

Both sides of the march achieved great victories, which made Yuan Shu very happy, and he did not expect that Guo Peng was sharpening his sword and Huo Huo was ready to attack him.

In addition to Guo Peng, when Liu Biao learned the news that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, he couldn't help but want to send troops.

He tried to send troops from Nanyang County into Runan County to conquer the city and expand his territory and power.

At the same time, he used the group of frustrated people he got from Yizhou to some extent, and felt that although they failed to bring him the land of Yizhou, at least they were not from Jingzhou.

Liu Biaoyou wanted to appoint Gan Ning and others as generals and let them lead the troops, so as to somewhat balance the power of the Jingzhou locals around him, but his intentions were seen through by Cai Mao and others.

When Liu Biao put forward the idea of appointing Gan Ning and others to lead troops from Nanyang County to Runan County to open up a new situation, he was dissuaded by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue Kuailiang.

They pretended to be bitter and persuaded Liu Biao not to do this.

Cai Mao persuaded Liu Biao that Gan Ning and others were rebel generals in Yizhou, and they were useless, and now they seemed to be submissive, but in fact, they secretly had the intention of not being subordinate, and let them command the troops, I am afraid that it will lead the wolf into the house?

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang gave many examples, saying that Liu Biao could not go his own way like this, otherwise the whole of Jingzhou would be harmed by him.

In this way, Liu Biao realized the great clamp he was subjected to, and realized that even if he wanted to go his own way, he was afraid that he would not have that condition, and it was estimated that he would inevitably fail miserably.

Thinking about it, Liu Biao secretly hated in his heart, but he was helpless.

Less leaning, Liu Biao felt a little disheartened, and finally decided to give up this great opportunity, simply become a spectator, and forget about Jingzhou.

In this troubled world, it may be good to be able to keep a piece of pure land, to save your life and your family.

Liu Biao's decision has little impact, at least not as big as it seems, and the impact of Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor is indeed very great, and most of the Han will be caught in the flames of war and unable to extricate themselves.

Until Yuan Shu really died.

And just when Yuan Shu didn't know that Guo Peng was going to lead an army to defeat him, and he was still raising troops to fight against Tao Qian and Sun Ce on two roads, there was a person who was silently acting.

Yan Rou alone with only two escorts passed through the difficulties and obstacles, and quietly entered Hongnong County under the response of the secret agents of the Linzi camp, and came to Hongnong County.

This is the current sub-station, and it is also the residence of the imperial court, where the hundreds of officials of the imperial court and a group of warlords, as well as their army, live for a long time, and the situation is chaotic.

After Liu Biao received the reward from the Hongnong court, under the persuasion of the imperial court envoys, he sent people to Hongnong County with a lot of ordnance and materials to build a palace for Liu Xie, and at the same time brought Jingzhou's merchants and some commodities, barely maintaining the survival needs around Hongnong County.

Yan Rou disguised himself as a merchant in Jingzhou, and with the help of the secret agents of the Linzi camp who served as the captain of the city gate, he infiltrated the county seat of Hongnong.

At this moment, the situation in Hongnong County is definitely not very good, of course, it is not too bad.

Li Dao and Guo Yan's strength was greatly reduced after the war, and then Jia Xu came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, and united with the stronger Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan, and gave them a round of political liquidation.

Reduced troops, reduced positions, from the dignified Grand Sima and Hussar General to the captain.

It is equivalent to beating them back to their original shape, back to the way they were when Dong Zhuo was still there, and the honor they had gained after years of struggle was wiped out, how could they not be angry?

But because of the small number of troops, his prestige was greatly reduced, and he could only be a captain.

Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji didn't kill them, probably in accordance with some kind of survival rule of the Liangzhou army, or they simply felt that these two people fought bravely, and there was still a place where they could be used, anyway, the Liangzhou army was used to becoming a king and defeating a villain.

So these two people are now arranged in the Shaanxi County garrison in the east of Hongnong County.

The soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the two were only a few thousand, but the plundering of the place and the harm to the people was not at all more gentle than before, the number of people was smaller, and the plundering was more ruthless.

Hongnong County, as one of the three lines of defense set up by Dong Zhuo to defend against the Kwantung Coalition Army, was still built quite well, and the households and production did not suffer much loss.

Among them, the garrison of Huayin County is Duan Xuan.

Duan Xuan was a person with some culture and knew the importance of food and production, so he diligently repaired water conservancy and developed agriculture, not only did not plunder the local area according to the consistent style of the Liangzhou soldiers, but also developed the local area, so that the people could be happy.

Because of the existence of Duan Xuan, the production of Hongnong County has not been seriously damaged, and the households are abundant, and it is also one of the few existences in the entire Guanzhong that can be used as a façade.

So food or something, the army under Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji can still eat, and they will not starve Liu Xiehe Baiguan, Liu Xiehe Baiguan even thinks that this is the only place where Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji are stronger than Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan only felt a little unhappy about Li Dao and Guo Yan who continued to plunder the place, but they did not impose more restrictions, because they really did not intend to provide a stable supply of food to Li Dao and Guo Yan's army, and if they were not allowed to plunder the place, they would starve to death.

But they drew a range.

You can plunder, you can't cross Shaanxi County to the west of Shaanxi County to plunder, if you dare to cross Shaanxi County to the west to plunder, Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan will raise troops to attack Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Therefore, the core part of Hongnong County was not warned, but relatively harmonious.

As for the west of Huayin County, to the area of Chang'an, the plague is now breaking out, and the only few remaining households have escaped the slaughter of the war, but they can't escape the plague, and they died tragically in the plague.

And what was even more unlucky were Ma Teng and Han Sui, knowing that Li Dao and Guo Yan had given up Chang'an and chased Hongnong, thinking of taking advantage.

As a result, it happened to run into a life-threatening infectious plague - according to the records, the plague in the late Han Dynasty was most likely an epidemic hemorrhagic fever.

As a result, tens of thousands of troops fell ill in an instant, and Ma Teng and Han Sui were so frightened that they immediately abandoned the infected soldiers who could not move, and fled back to Liangzhou in a hurry.

However, some sick soldiers also fled back to Liangzhou, and after returning to Liangzhou, they fell ill and transmitted the plague to Liangzhou.

Ma Teng and Han Sui were tired of coping, and as a result, a large piece of land from Liangzhou to Huayin County became a dead place for a while, and no one dared to approach it.

In fact, if someone understood the principle of infectious diseases a little, maybe the great plague at the end of the Han Dynasty would not necessarily take so many lives, hundreds of thousands of people died.

However, it is a pity that for a long time, doctors in the whole world did not understand what "infection" was, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that Chinese medicine developed an understanding of infection from Wu Youke's discussion.

Prior to this, the medical theory of traditional Chinese medicine could not get rid of the entanglement of gods and ghosts, and the remnants of witchcraft in ancient times were like shadows, and the ghosts were not dispersed, and the medical concept was quite simple.

If someone understands what infection is, not to mention treatment, at least it can be prevented, and when things can't be managed, the plague can be ended with the final plan of isolation, so that the plague will not bloom everywhere in the land of China, with countless deaths and injuries.

Unfortunately, no.

Li Dao and Guo Yan's luck is really good, while Ma Teng and Han Sui are really unlucky, and for a long time in the future, the luck of the people of all ethnic groups in Liangzhou will not be too good.

Before Yan Rou infiltrated Hongnong County, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and announced the deposition of Liu Xie's throne, ending the rule of the Han Dynasty, and holding the Liangzhou people accountable for their rebellion.

Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan were shocked, the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, Jia Wenhe frowned, and Liu Xie simply fainted in anger.

After waking up, Liu Xie smashed several cases, drew his sword and killed two chamberlains, roared angrily to go out to crusade against Yuan Shu, and said that the person who would cut off Yuan Shu's head would be the king.

In short, the political atmosphere in Hongnong County is very tense, everyone is nervous, everyone is also very confused, and they don't know what will happen in the future.

At this time, Guo Peng's request for Yuan Yuwen had not yet been delivered, and the people of the world did not know that Guo Peng planned to take on the responsibility of maintaining the Han dynasty.
