What exactly is going on.

It turned out that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was extravagant, finally died in the "expedition" at night.

The sudden death of Emperor Ling of Han immediately caused earth-shattering changes in the entire land of China.

If Wang Tianjie sent troops to Youzhou in a big way, and took the entire Youzhou overnight with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, it stimulated and accelerated the development of the situation of the princes of the world dividing and competing with each other.

Then, the sudden death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty finally established the era of separating the princes and competing with each other.

Although the Eastern Han Dynasty has existed in name only, nominally even Wang Tianjie was also appointed to the imperial court.

However, with the sudden death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that the Central Plains at this time was already "a group of dragons without a leader".

In this way, the various princes and overlords no longer have any consideration, and they are all taking this opportunity to make a final game.

The mutual annexation between the various princes of the Central Plains became even more tragic by the annexation.

Cao Cao, luckily escaped Zhang Rang's pursuit, and he has been waiting for the opportunity in Chenliu, on the one hand, he recruited soldiers in Chenliu to expand his own army strength, and on the other hand, he spared no expense to hire people with lofty ideals, and successively got his uncle and nephew Xun Yu Xun Yu, and then got Cheng Yu under the recommendation of Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, and Cheng Yu recommended Huainan Chengde, surnamed Liu, Mingye, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and then sent a dowry to recruit Liu Ye to his command.

In order to thank Cao Cao for his kindness, Liu Ye also recommended two people to Cao Cao again, one is a native of Changyi, Shanyang, with the surname Man, the name is pet, and the word is Boning; One is a native of Wucheng, surnamed Lu, whose name is pious, and whose name is Ke, Cao Cao also knows these two reputations, so he was immediately hired to engage in the army.

And the two of them recommended a total of one person, who was Chen Liuping Qiu, surnamed Mao, named Jue, the word filial piety, and Cao Cao was also hired to engage in it.

He has successively obtained Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Lu Qian, Mao Yu and other strategists, and among them, Xun Yu, Xun Yu's uncle and nephew, and Cheng Yu's talent and strategy are particularly successful.

At the same time, Cao Cao also got the fierce general Banle into Li Dian and others, plus the clan brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong brothers who have been following Cao Cao, as well as Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers and others.

As a result, Cao Cao formed his team to seek hegemony in a very short period of time.

It was also Xun Yu Xun and these strategists who gave advice to Cao Cao, as well as fierce generals like Xiahou Dun Cao Ren who fought bravely to kill the enemy, and Cao Cao rose rapidly in Chenliu.

It can be said that at this time, Cao Cao Wen had strategists and fierce generals, which shocked the entire territory of Yuzhou.

With the sudden death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, it undoubtedly provided a golden opportunity for the ambitious Cao Cao, who began to accelerate the annexation of the surrounding small and medium-sized princes, and slowly Cao Cao grew to almost control the entire Yuzhou.

Let's talk about Liu Bei, and Liu Bei in the Yellow Turban turmoil although he had a great merit but was sealed in a small county in the plain depressed, later, when rescuing the danger of Beihai Kongrong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici at that time, in one fell swoop, defeated the remnants of the Yellow Turban led by Guan Hai at that time, and gradually became famous.

How could Liu Bei, who was ambitious, be willing to curl up in such a small place as the plain, and plan to resign from the post of plain minister angrily.

However, at this time, with the sudden death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Chen Liu's Cao Cao's strength grew rapidly, and Cao Cao planned to take his father Cao Song to Chen Liu.

When Cao Song passed through Xuzhou, in order to appease Cao Cao, Tao Qian warmly entertained Cao Song, and sent his subordinate Zhang Min to personally escort Cao Song and others on the road.

But who would have thought that Zhang Min had been the leader of the Yellow Turban Movement before, and was deeply affected by vices, and as a result, on the way, Zhang Min saw a fortune and killed Cao Song and others.

Cao Cao was furious, and sent troops to Xuzhou, Tao Qian, who was panicked, remembered Liu Bei who had rescued Beihai under the reminder of his subordinate Mi Zhu, and immediately sent people to invite Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao together.

With the help of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, Tao Qian barely resisted the attack of Cao Cao's army.

As a result, Cao Cao, who had sent troops in large numbers, was empty in the rear and was suddenly attacked by Yuan Shao of Jizhou, and Cao Cao, who was anxious to return to help, had no choice but to reach an armistice agreement with Tao Qian.

Tao Qian, who escaped the catastrophe, was grateful for the assistance of Liu Bei's three brothers and invited Liu Bei to develop in Xuzhou.

With a place to settle down, the ambitious Liu Bei also developed rapidly in Xuzhou with the strong support of Mi Zhu and the acquiescence of Tao Zhu.

Speaking of which, Mi Zhu is definitely not to be underestimated, because the Mi family, like the Zhen family, is also one of the "four great families" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Now, Liu Bei has the strong support of the Mi family, just like "a tiger with wings".

However, judging from the whole incident of Liu Bei's rapid development in Xuzhou, it is not difficult to see that the Mi family played a decisive role in the whole incident.

The Mi family spared no effort to support Liu Bei and explained: The Mi family is very optimistic about Liu Bei.

However, there is a situation that the Mi family seems to have suddenly started to support Liu Bei so vigorously at all costs.

Is there anything hidden behind this sudden strong support?

Besides, Sun Jian's father and son, after receiving a thousand high-grade war horses funded by Wang Tianjie free of charge, the strength of Sun Jian's father and son also grew rapidly, and Sun Jian, who was unwilling to be the Taishou of Changsha, had a holiday with Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and then sent troops to attack Xiangyang City under Zhou Yu's advice.

As a result, Wang Rui was caught off guard by Sun Jian and his son to break through Xiangyang City, and Wang Rui, the assassin of history, was also killed by Sun Jian and his son.

Originally, Sun Jian, father and son, who wanted to develop based on Jingxiang, did not expect that the Eastern Han Dynasty court had secretly assigned Liu Biao to take over the land of Jingxiang.

Moreover, the imperial court was very dissatisfied with the fact that Sun Jian and his son "committed the above" and killed Wang Rui without authorization, and ordered Liu Biao to arrest Sun Jian and his son.

And this matter is almost the same as Wang Tianjie's execution of Liu Yu, but Wang Tianjie can't do it, and Sun Jian's father and son are wanted by the imperial court.

The result is a world of difference.

And this once again proves that in this era of turmoil and strife, strong strength determines everything.

Liu Biao's sudden succession not only disrupted the strategic plan of Sun Jian and his son, but also was wanted by Liu Biao, so that Sun Jian and his son formed an indissoluble grudge with Liu Biao, and in a desperate situation, Sun Jian and his son had to temporarily defect to Yuan Shu in Yangzhou.

However, with the sudden death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian's father and son, who had suffered a great setback in their previous hegemony, once again provided a golden opportunity.

After Liu Biao came to Jingxiang, he continued to make friends with the clans of Jingxiang all over the country, and as a result, with the strong support of the Jingxiang clan, Liu Biao also developed rapidly in the land of Jingxiang, and under the great changes of the sudden death of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Biao took the opportunity to unify the eight counties of Jingxiang and became another powerful prince.

Yuan Shu in Yangzhou.

This period of time can be described as a thunderstorm, first sneak attack Wang Tianjie and his party failed, but was defeated by Wang Tianjie and his party, not only that, but what made Yuan Shu's heart ache was that this time he lost more than 100 war horses, which Yuan Shu bought at a great price in every possible way.

However, what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that from now on, no matter how high the price Yuan Shu was willing to pay, he just couldn't buy a good war horse.

In the past, it may be possible to buy war horses through others, but now, with the increasingly fierce annexation war between the princes, every time Liaodong sells high-grade war horses to the Central Plains, they are far from in short supply, and it is difficult to buy them.

Although I don't know why Liaodong didn't buy war horses for Yuan Shu, but for the other princes, there is one less powerful competitor, who will give Yuan Shu a war horse.

Even his elder brother Yuan Shao is no exception.

Moreover, for Yuan Shu's sneak attack on Wang Tianjie, the imperial court severely punished Yuan Shu, not only demoting Yuan Shu by one level, but also fining him 10,000 taels.

not only punished the arrogant Yuan Shu, but also filled the pockets of Zhang Rang and others.

This time, it can really be described as "stealing chickens is not a mistake"!

Therefore, how could this not make Yuan Shu burst into a rage.

At the same time, Liu Yan, who was also a relative of the Han family, also took this opportunity to seize the right to rule Yizhou and enjoy Qingfu in Yizhou.

Besides, Yuan Shao.

Due to the greatest power of Yuan Shao in the Central Plains, coupled with the large number of strategists and generals under his command, coupled with the great changes caused by the sudden death of Emperor Ling of Han, it can be said that he has benefited the most among the princes of the Central Plains.

In the large-scale annexation war, Yuan Shao achieved the most brilliant results. Although, when he attacked Cao Cao, he was driven back by Cao Cao's army in time, and did not take any advantage, under the continuous annexation of the east and the west, he quickly became the largest prince in the Central Plains with millions of troops.

Hanzhong was also seized by Zhang Lu.

In addition, Ma Teng is in charge of the territory of Liangzhou.

It can be said that the entire Central Plains has almost been annexed and divided by the major princes, and the situation of the princes in the world is exactly the ...... formed.
