Xu Kui sent news from Luoyang that he had gained control of Guo's army and had succeeded in killing Guo and his henchmen.

Qin Hua, who received the news, was shocked, he never expected that the Infernal Affairs undercover agent he sent would eventually become the boss directly.

But that's fine, although if you start a war directly with Guo Yan, because of the assistance of Xu Kui and other members of the Nighthawk, it is estimated that you will not lose too many troops, but fighting will eventually consume troops.

Now that this is the case, your own forces will not be depleted at all.

Qin Hua asked Zhang Liao to lead 30,000 troops to Luoyang, receive the troops in Xu Kui's hands, and take over the checkpoints around Luoyang.

During Guo Yan's period, most of the checkpoints around Luoyang were in the hands of other forces, but with the strong entry of Qin Huajun, these forces could only obediently give up the checkpoints.

The first to complete the handover was the Tiger Prison Pass in Cao Cao's hands.

"Lord, do you really want to give up the Tiger Prison? In this way, Qin Xuanhu's power will be more stable. ”

"Wen Ruo, do I still have the ability to defend the Tiger Prison now? Xuanhu broke the Xiongnu in the north, and there was an army that successfully received Guo Yan, and now the momentum is flourishing, so it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift to Xuanhu. ”

"It's just that in this case, we will be passive in completing Qin Xuanhu."

"Wen Ruo and rest assured, as far as I can see, Xuanhu intends to be in Yizhou, and he will not risk the world's great disregard to come to attack me."

"But after Qin Hua takes Yizhou, he will inevitably look at our side."

"Haha, then Liu Yan is not a person who does nothing, I think it will be difficult for Xuanhu to capture Yizhou in five to ten years."

"And what about five to ten years from now?"

Xun Yu said worriedly. It's not that he can't see the current situation clearly, but if Qin Hua continues to develop, his power will only get stronger and stronger.

Xun Yu is not unaware of Liu Yan's ability, but there is still a gap compared to Qin Hua.

In addition, now that Qin Hua's soldiers are well fed, in case they take Yizhou, they will no longer have to worry about the problem of food and grass, who in the world can stop them at that time?

"This matter is easy, we just need to be stronger than Xuanhu's army."

Cao Cao's tone was very casual, as if what he was talking about was not a big deal, but an invisible domineering aura overflowed.

After Xun Yu heard this, he immediately felt that he still underestimated Cao Cao, and he admired him greatly.

After Cao Cao, Yuan Shao also handed over the checkpoint in his hand to Qin Hua, and at the same time he also sent an envoy to Chang'an.

The person who came was Yuan Shao's chief strategist Tian Feng.

"The hussar general taught those Huns a hard lesson for my Han and raised the prestige of my Han country, both Yuan Gong and I greatly admired it."

Because the position of the hussar general was above the state pastor (nominally), Tian Feng directly addressed Qin Hua as the hussar general.

After speaking, Tian Feng also saluted Qin Hua.

Seeing that Tian Feng came up, he patted himself on the back, Qin Hua was also a little embarrassed, and his vigilance against Tian Feng was also lowered a lot.

Then the two chatted some gossip, Qin Hua was a little confused about Tian Feng's intentions, so he kept playing with him.

"I heard that Liu Yan of Yizhou, as a prince of the Han Dynasty, did not think of serving the country and supporting the Han family. When Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, all the princes of the world sent troops to fight Dong, but Liu Yan sat in Yizhou. And he also killed innocents indiscriminately in the land of Yizhou and wantonly amassed wealth, and Yuan Gong was very angry. It's just that now Yuan Gong is tired by Gongsun Zhan and has no time to take care of him. This time, Fenglai implored Qinzhou Mu to send troops to crusade against Liu Yan. ”

The main topic finally came, and Qin Hua's spirit was stunned.

"I've also heard about Liu Yan, but I suddenly raised troops to attack my colleagues, which is not right and my words are not good."

Qin Hua probably also understood Tian Feng's intention, this was to push himself to the Yizhou battlefield, so that he would not be able to take care of the Kwantung princes.

"This matter is not difficult, Duke Yuan has already written to the imperial court, and I think the imperial court's crusade edict will be delivered in a few days."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xian's status was already so low, Qin Hua didn't expect that although Cao Cao was now controlling Liu Xie, even Yuan Shao could easily make Liu Xie issue an edict.

However, Qin Hua was still not satisfied, so simply wanted to send himself to Yizhou?

"By the way, although Duke Yuan can't personally lead the troops to fight against Liu Yan, he is also willing to help the general."

Seeing Qin Hua's expression, Tian Feng also knew that the other party was waiting for benefits.

Although he already knew that Qin Hua's next target was most likely Yizhou, if he set his sights on Kanto, it would be troublesome.

"Gong Yuan is willing to fund the general's grain and grass of 300,000 stones."

When he said this, Tian Feng couldn't help but raise his voice a little.

300,000 stone grains and grass is indeed a lot of money, and Qin Hua didn't expect that the stingy Yuan Shao would be rare and generous.

In fact, the 300,000 stone of grain and grass was reluctantly agreed by Yuan Shao after a long discussion.

In order to achieve this goal, Tian Feng did not hesitate to take the initiative to debate with Feng Ji and others, even if he knew that he would evil these people, he had to promote this matter.

Because now that Yuan Shao is about to defeat Gongsun Zhan, and there is also a big chaos inside Wuhuan, it is a good time for Yuan Shao to expand.

If Qin Hua gets involved, it will definitely have a great impact on Yuan Shao's development.

Now that Qin Hua is in the limelight, first defeating the Xiongnu and then annexing Guo Yan's forces, it is not a good time to confront Qin Hua head-on.

"Since this is the case, then Qin will accept Yuan Gong's kindness."

If there is a advantage, it is natural to take advantage of it, as for whether to really attack Yizhou, Qin Hua has not yet decided.

Now that he has completely controlled the three prefectures of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Sili, the grain and grass are quite sufficient at present, and there is no need to go to Yizhou again.

Moreover, Qin Hua's mentality has changed from being ambitious to dominate the world at the beginning, and has become much calmer.

He was just an ordinary person before he crossed over, and he was already very satisfied with his current power.

With many passes guarded, Qin Hua's three states can be described as indestructible, plus the army under his command, Qin Hua believes that even if the other ten states in the world are unified, he can live in Chang'an City safely.

But Qin Hua ignored one point, although he was a monarch now, the matter of wanting to dominate the sky was no longer his own business.

Even if he wanted to stop, the others would continue to push him forward.

Not long after Tian Feng left, Qin Huang came to see Qin Hua once, and this time they discussed how to attack Yizhou.

It turned out that after meeting Qin Hua, Tian Feng went directly to see Qin Huang, and explained to him how fertile Yizhou was, how abundant grain and grass were, and how incompetent Liu Yan was, as if it was easy to take Yizhou.

However, Qin Huang didn't think about this, he thought about being in the Qin State.

In that year, King Zhaoxiang of Qin appointed Li Bing as the Taishou of Shu County, and Li Bing built water conservancy in Shu, laying the foundation for Shu to become the country of abundance.

Later, because of the support of grain and grass from Shu, the Qin State held out for three years in the Changping War between Qin and Zhao.

In the end, the 400,000 Zhao army was annihilated in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for the unification of the Qin state.

Therefore, Qin Huang believes that in the process of Qin Hua's domination of the world, he must first take Yizhou and follow the footsteps of his ancestors.

Later, Xun You also came to visit Qin Hua, thinking that Yuan Shao's 300,000 grain and grass were enough to support Qin Hua's army to take Hanzhong, and then use Hanzhong as the basis to attack Liu Yan in Yizhou.

Xun You's thoughts are also very direct, he is now in charge of the internal affairs of Qin Hua's territory, he just thinks that the people take food as the sky.

Compared with those strong princes in the eastern part of the country, Liu Yan was much easier to fight, and the post-war returns were much greater, so he was very supportive of Qin Hua's dispatch of troops to Yizhou.

Even Jia Xu couldn't have expressed his opinion and supported Qin Hua to send troops to Yizhou.

After all, compared with the princes of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao, Yizhou does look a little easier to fight.

Qin Hua didn't really have to decide which direction to go now, he just didn't want to fight anymore.

Since Qin Hua's crossing, there have been major or small battles almost every year, which made Qin Hua really tired.

And compared to the environment that he was worried about before, Qin Hua can now be said to be at the peak of the princes.

Once a person occupies a position at the top, he begins to slacken.

"Let's discuss this matter again, now let's settle down the new territory first."

In the end, Qin Hua could only use this excuse to send those who persuaded him, because the previous battles such as the annexation of Zhouzhou and the annexation of Luoyang were a bit too simple, so everyone felt that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Whether it is for fame or profit, these people hope that Qin Hua can go to the last step.

However, what Qin Hua said is indeed the truth, although Qin Hua is in full power, the newly occupied territory does need to be consolidated.

Whether it is the selection of officials, the implementation of new decrees, or infrastructure like Liangzhou, they all need to be improved as soon as possible.

Compared with Liangzhou and Bingzhou, the strength of the family on Sili's side is much stronger.

Although after being suppressed by Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, two unreasonable people, Si Li's family does not seem to have any sense of existence.

But when he met Qin Hua, a "reasonable" person, the family's ability was reflected.

Qin Hua took the land in the hands of these families, but it took a lot of effort.

Sometimes Qin Hua would think that if it weren't for that damn fame, he would really want to slaughter those troublemakers directly.

Thinking about it this way, his "old father-in-law" Dong Zhuo was quite comfortable before his death, everything followed his own heart, and he would not estimate the feelings of others at all.

In the first three years of the Han Dynasty, compared with the first year of the first peace, the world was at war, but the three years of the first peace seemed to be very harmonious.

After more than two years, Yuan Shao finally defeated Gongsun Zhan.

After the previous war, Gongsun Zhan was gradually frightened by Yuan Shao, and a generation of border army generals actually cowered in Yijing and did not dare to go out of the city to face the battle.

Even though Gongsun Chan's son, Gongsun Xu, sent troops to support, Gongsun Chan still just stayed in his own house, drinking and having fun with the singer every day, completely ignoring the generals who asked to go to war.

Later, under the plea of everyone, Gongsun Chan was finally willing to fight Yuan Shao with Gongsun Xu.

He wrote a letter to Gongsun Xu, asking him to raise the fire as a signal, and then he sent troops out of the city to attack Yuan Shao's camp.

But he didn't expect this letter to be obtained by Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao planned to do it, and raised the fire in the middle of the night, Gongsun Zhan really sent troops out of the city to attack, but he was ambushed by Yuan Shao and returned defeated.

Since then, Gongsun Chan has never mentioned the attack on Yuan Shao, and everyone has tried to persuade them to no avail, and they are all disheartened.

Later, Yuan Shao attacked Yijing, and Gongsun Zhan burned to death with the singers in his own mansion.

At this time, Gongsun Xu was still resisting Yuan Shao in Youzhou, and the rest belonged to Yuan Shao.

Gongsun continued to occupy Liaodong County (near the Yalu River) and Lelang County (probably the location of present-day North Korea), but Yuan Shao did not continue the attack because it was too remote.

Because now he has more important things to do.

Wuhuan Shan died in Qiu Liju, and the three kings of Wuhuan rebelled, so Qiu Liju's son Bandun came to Yuan Shao for help.

Bun Dun had sent troops to help Yuan Shao before, and Yuan Shao also took a fancy to Wu Huan's cavalry, so he was now busy trying to find a way to control Wu Huan's affairs.

Like Qin Hua, Cao Cao also had a new acquisition of Yanzhou and was dealing with various matters in the new territory.

The war between Liu Biao and Zhang Ji has also ended, and Zhang Ji was hit by a stray arrow when attacking Liu Biao and unfortunately died.

Zhang Ji had no children, and he designated his nephew Zhang Xiu to inherit his power.

So after Zhang Ji's death, Zhang Ji's subordinates found Zhang Xiu, who was now just a ranger, and he inherited Zhang Ji's territory.

Zhang Xiu has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and it is said that he once worshiped the gun prodigy Yuan, learned marksmanship, and played the name of the gun king in the north.

But he didn't know much about political affairs, and Qin Hua also deceived his right-hand man Jia Xu into his command early, so now Zhang Xiu can't even be busy with Wancheng's political affairs, and he can't expand at all.

On the Xuzhou side, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu also formed a delicate balance, and none of the three parties wanted to start a war easily.

Lu Bu knew that his strength was weaker than Yuan Shu, so he now began to win over Liu Bei, who had been seized by himself, hoping to join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's subordinates also had a lot of capable people, so naturally some people saw Lu Bu's intentions, but when they told Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was unmoved.

Because now Yuan Shu is thinking about another thing.

He had already made contact with Dong Cheng of Xudu and was preparing to secretly take Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, to Runan.

Although Yuan Shu got the jade seal of the country, he was not a fool and did not dare to claim the emperor rashly.

The best way now is to take Liu Xie over, and then give himself the throne in the name of Liu Xie, plus he has the jade seal of the country in hand, and inherit the throne.

So he is always paying attention to Xudu's movements now, how can he have time to pay attention to Xuzhou.

As long as he ascends the throne as the Son of Heaven, it will not be easy to take Xuzhou.

In the third year of the first peace, there was only Jiangnan where a war broke out in the Han Dynasty.

After enlisting Yuan Shu's 3,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the help of his friend Zhou Yu and others, Sun Ce began to expand his territory in a big way.

first defeated Liu Xuan's generals Mi and Fan Neng, and then defeated Zhang Ying in Dangli, and now he is fighting a decisive battle with Liu Xuan's main force.

With the strength of the Sun family in Jiangdong, Sun Ce's defeat of Liu Miao was just around the corner.

However, Sun Ce did not seem to be complacent, and when he was fighting Liu Xuan, he had already set his sights on Yan Baihu, the Taishou of Wu County, and Wang Lang, the Taishou of Huiji County.

Sun Ce's goal was to establish his own foundation in Jiangdong before the Central Plains stabilized.
