Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the third year of Chuping (192 AD).

During this time, a lot has happened.

Yuan Shao gradually sat down in Jizhou, and after several thoughts, he finally sent someone to assassinate Han Fu, who fled to Chen Liutai's guard Zhang Miao;

Cao Cao defeated the Montenegrin peasant army led by Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zheng Gu, as well as the Xiongnu Luan Ti Yufuluo, who was harassing Dongjun, and occupied Dongjun;

Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao turned against each other, and the two sides fought twenty miles south of the boundary bridge, Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi led 800 elite soldiers as the vanguard, and under the cover of a thousand strong crossbows, he defeated the strongest light cavalry under Gongsun Chan - Baima Yicong, and beheaded his general Yan Gang, causing Gongsun Chan's vitality to be greatly injured;

Liu Bei was shown to be the plain minister by Gongsun Chan for his meritorious service in assisting Gongsun Zhan's subordinates Tian Kai to raise Qingzhou.

Everyone seems to be building up for themselves. Of course, there are also those who run around for their own conspiracy......

……

After this period of rest, Li Dao and Guo Yan gradually improved, and more importantly, when they gathered the old troops everywhere, they actually found the Flying Bear Army. Originally, the Flying Bear Army was Dong Zhuo's private army, but it has always been led by Li Dao. At the time of the mutiny, most of this team also followed Li Dao to rebel together, but they were lost in the chaos.

By chance, on the way back from Li Dao and others to a small village and town to collect money, they met this army. While chatting during the retreat, Li Dao told about the assassination of Hua Xiong.

Li Dao was an unintentional move, but he didn't want to, all this was heard by Zhang Feng, who was hiding in the grass.

In fact, during this time, Zhang Feng had been thinking about how to take revenge, but unfortunately he had become a traitor to Yefeng and could no longer use any help.

When he came back disappointed from Chang'an again, he found that there was a group of men and horses in front of him, so he quickly hid in the grass, but he didn't expect to hear the opportunity he had been looking for......

From the conversations of those people, he learned several important news:

The leader of the army is none other than Li Dao, who has just met the Flying Bear Army;

Hua Xiong's death was due to the drug of the demon girl Xi Yan and the skilled assassination skills of her assassins;

Joining forces again, they are ready to use the above two advantages to attack Chang'an.

At this time, a plan gradually formed in his mind.

When Li Wei's soldiers and horses went away, he did not go back to the small village where he was hiding, but returned to Chang'an again, and secretly sneaked into Jia Xu's mansion under the cover of night......

……

"I heard that Mr. Jia has been very vigilant in his life, and he doesn't want to be subdued so easily." Zhang Feng's chain-bladed dagger was against Jia Xu's neck, and the latter was still on the bed at the moment. After Zhang Feng sneaked in quietly, he used a dagger to stop Jia Xu from calling people the moment he woke up.

"Hehe," Jia Xu slowly calmed down, "What is the matter with Your Excellency?" Let's put it bluntly. ”

"I'm here to assassinate you."

Hearing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile, and slowly pushed away Zhang Feng's dagger with his hand, "Jia Mou is just a nameless person in this capital, if Your Excellency really wants to assassinate Zaixia, I'm afraid that Zaixia is now on Huangquan Road." ”

"Admire," Zhang Feng put away the dagger, "There are many offenses to the right talents, and I heard that Mr. Jia is resourceful and adaptable, so I gave it a try." ”

"It's okay," Jia Xu got up and put on his clothes, and looked at the young man in front of him who was less than twenty by the moonlight, "Since you want to test me, you want to test my strength, then, Jia Xu wants to ask, what is it that takes so much effort?" ”

"I'm here to save Lord Xiangguo."

"Oh?" Jia Xu stared at Jian Feng, hoping to find traces of his lying. It's just that when a person is discouraged, what he thinks in his heart can't be seen from the outside.

After a long time, Jia Xu finally retracted his gaze and asked, "What is the danger of my lord, and how can I save him?" ”

"In the next day, I met Li Dao's people outside the city today."

"What?!" Jia Xu was taken aback.

"Sir, I'll listen to the next one. Today, on my way home from Chang'an, I met a group of people, and I was worried that they were mountain bandits, so I hid in the grass. I didn't want to hear their conversation, only to know that it was Li Dao's soldiers and horses, and among them, there was a strange soldier - the Flying Bear Army. ”

"Ahh When Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim, because everyone under Dong Zhuo, the great name of the Flying Bear Army, knew about it. This army has the most courageous Xiliang cavalry and Xiliang warriors, with excellent combat power and superb martial arts.

"I also heard about General Hua Xiong, and the reason why General Hua Xiong's team was slaughtered without resistance that day was because of a woman named Xi Yan under Li Dao. The woman was ruthless and good at using drugs, and General Huaxiong and others were fascinated by her that day and were brutally killed. ”

"Then, when you speak of the two, there should be a connection."

"Mr. Jia is really smart, Li Dao wants to attack Chang'an with the Flying Bear Army, if this woman's poisonous methods are added, I am afraid that not only Lord Xiangguo, but also the Son of Heaven will be in trouble."

"Hehe, Your Excellency told me late at night that Jia should have thanked him again. It's just that Jia has a question in his heart, looking at your famous words. ”

"Sir, please."

"Why did Your Excellency want to save Xiangguo?"

"Because Xiangguo can save the world, I only wish the world to be peaceful." After speaking, Zhang Feng's eyes looked directly at Jia Xu, because he knew that in the face of this person, the slightest hesitation would be exposed.

"Well," said Jia Xu, "then I would like to hear your high opinion." ”

"Won't the gentleman doubt me? Don't even ask who I am? ”

"Hehe, Jia has always adhered to the principle of doing things: the same interests are enough, no matter whether you are friends or enemies."

"Haha, Mr. is really an alien. Then I won't go around in circles. Although Chang'an has a heavy army, it cannot defend against the enemy's sneak attack, and if the enemy disguises its people and sneaks into the city, it will be impossible to defend it. But what if Chang'an is not just one city? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Build another city not far from Chang'an, build a secret passage underground to communicate with Chang'an, and divide troops to garrison. Li Dao would have known about this, but it didn't matter, if he knew, he wouldn't have attacked casually. After all, if the enemy attacks one city, he will escort His Majesty and Xiangguo to another city, and then cut off the secret passage and send troops from another place, and eventually the enemy will be surrounded in the city. Li Dao doesn't have many soldiers and horses, so he shouldn't do such a stupid thing. ”

"It's time-consuming, but it's an option for the present and the future." Jia Xu somewhat agreed with Zhang Feng's suggestion.

"If the Son of Heaven and Xiangguo are safe, it will be a blessing to the world."

"Hehe, Your Excellency is also an alien."

"It's not easy to stay for a long time, so I will leave, although this plan is a clumsy plan, but it can be a long-term plan. Mr. Wang's consideration. After speaking, Zhang Feng quickly dodged out of the door and climbed over the wall.

Zhang Feng smiled with satisfaction and ran out of the city while the night was dark.

Jia Xu sneered in the room. He didn't believe Zhang Feng, but it didn't affect his approval of this plan. If there is another fortified city outside Chang'an, it can become a rivalry with Chang'an. Moreover, the sentence that it is connected to Chang'an is indeed exquisite, and the two cities are interconnected, which is convenient for secretly transferring troops, which is indeed a good plan.

The next day, Jia Xu mentioned this matter to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo thought that it was feasible after thinking about it, so he played the emperor, and then ordered people to start construction. But for the purpose of concealing people's ears, this city is nominally just a separate courtyard of Dong Zhuo, called "Yiwu".

——————————————

East County.

"Lord, if there is chaos today, and the land of Dongjun is not populated, and the supply of soldiers is difficult to continue, which is really not conducive to growth. It's better to agree with what the public station said and let me give it a try. "The one who spoke was Chen Gong, a strategist who came out after Cao Cao occupied Dongjun, and the word Gongtai.

Because of the geographical location and limitations of Dongjun, Chen Gong proposed that he hoped to occupy a favorable territory. At this time, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was killed in battle with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, causing Yanzhou to be in a state of ownerlessness.

Chen Gong hoped that Cao Cao would send himself to lobby local officials and celebrities, as well as nearby princes, so that Cao Cao could lead the Yanzhou Assassin to defeat the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

"Gongtai, then this matter will be up to you." Cao Cao also knew that in his current state, he could not compete with other princes at all.

Chen Gong gave up.

"Zixiao, tomorrow you will set off and go to Chang'an." Cao Cao said to Cao Ren.

"Big brother, what are you going to do in Chang'an?" Cao Ren was puzzled.

"Xun Yu of the Yingchuan Xun family was arrested and imprisoned for plotting to assassinate Dong Zhuo, I think that if we can save this person, the Xun family will definitely support us fully in the future. After all, now that the Xun family is in Yuan Shao's sphere of influence, I don't want to give all the talents to Yuan Benchu. ”

"Isn't he an old childhood friend of the eldest brother?"

"Hmph, Yuan Shao just borrowed his family background, he has an empty name, and he has no real talent. What's more, he also wanted to set up a new emperor, and we should draw a line with such a rebellious person. ”

"Understood, big brother." Cao Ren nodded.

"Do it in secret, and remember not to reveal your identity. You can ask Situ Wang Yun for help and let him work together. ”

"Well, then I'll go back and prepare."

……

The room was gone, and Cao Cao leaned back in his chair alone, playing with the scabbard of the Seven Star Knife.

"Dong Zhuo, I don't know how long it will be before the Seven Star Sword becomes famous......"

While thinking about it, someone entered the house to report that Sima Lang visited.

Cao Cao hurriedly ordered the guards to invite him in.

"General Cao, how are you doing?" Sima Lang's tall figure walked in through the door.

"Hehe, don't come unharmed, eldest prince." Cao Cao was already waiting at the door.

It turned out that since Cao Cao withdrew from Bishui Pass, he began to conquer the world's clans, hoping to get the support of all parties. The Eighteenth Route Princes Alliance had made him see through the hypocrisy of the world, and he was determined to rely on his own strength to restore the Han Dynasty.

The Sima family in Hanoi is a famous family, and he heard Sima Lang's words in Situ Mansion before, so he decided to gradually contact the Sima family to help him grow his power.

"Come on, come on, let's sit down." With that, Cao Cao let Sima Lang into the living room......

……

The people who will affect the fate of the Han Dynasty in the future are gradually gathering together, and those heroes who were once dominant are about to become history.
