Chapter 183: Liu Biao's Scheme

Yuan Shu led the army north into Chenliu, intending to occupy Chenliu, and then use Chenliu as a pedal to seize Yanzhou after the Battle of Yongqiu became well-known to the world, but at this time, several forces around Yuan Shu had no intention of managing Yuan Shu for the time being.

The north of Yuan Shu's forces is Yanzhou, and it is also the destination of Yuan Shu's march this time, it doesn't matter whether there is a reaction or not, anyway, Yuan Shu is going to fight with the major princes of Yanzhou.

In the west, it is Sili. In April this year, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others killed the thief Dong Zhuo in front of the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, and returned to the Son of Heaven, but because Wang Yun refused to pardon the crimes of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in the old department of Xiliang, the current Si Li is also a little unstable, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are preparing to launch a counteroffensive against Chang'an under the plan of Jia Xu, the new lord of Demon Mountain, in order to allow them to live.

To the east, it is Xuzhou. The current owner of Xuzhou is Tao Qian, Tao Qian is more than successful, and not enterprising. Moreover, Tao Qian's health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, and the heirs under his knees are also not angry, so that Tao Qian can't see a little hope, so that Tao Qian has begun to prepare to find a backer for his heirs so that they can survive in this troubled world.

However, although Tao Qian did not move, Guangling guarded Zhang Chao because he and Zhang Miao were brothers, and after knowing that Yuan Shu had marched into Chen Liu and received Zhang Miao's letter of help, Zhang Chao led an army of 10,000 from Guangling to kill Peiguo in Yuzhou, intending to force Yuan Shu to return to Jizhou to relieve Chen Liu's danger.

As for the south, bordering Yuan Shu's sphere of influence were the princes of Zhang Lu, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian. Zhang Lu and Liu Yan now form a somewhat strange balance. Liu Zhang was unable to carry out an effective attack on Zhang Lu because of various internal problems in Yizhou, but Zhang Lu did not have the determination to continue to forge ahead after becoming independent, and no one bothered him in a corner of peace.

Although Hanzhong is the starting place of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, due to the problem of roads, few people will fight Hanzhong's idea when there are other options.

Sun Jian in this world may be because of Yuan Yao's little butterfly, he who should have died in the hands of Huang Zu is still alive and well, and the general Zu Mao under his command is also not dead, and the current land of Jiangdong has basically fallen under Sun Jian's control, and the Jiangdong Tiger has become the lord of Jiangdong. But on the one hand, Sun Jian had constant friction with Liu Biao because of the matter of inheriting the jade seal, and on the other hand, the Shanyue people in the south of Yangzhou and the major worlds in Yangzhou also caused a lot of trouble to Sun Jian openly and secretly, so that Sun Jian could not devote too much effort to attack other states and counties to expand his territory.

It was precisely because the major princes around his territory were unlikely to send troops to attack him, that Yuan Shu was relieved to lead his troops north, wanting to occupy Chen Liu and then plot against Yanzhou.

As for Zhang Miao's younger brother Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao Yuan Shu had considered it before sending troops, and a Zhang Chao actually had nothing to fear, Yuan Shu left Pan Feng, Yan Xiang, Xiahoulan and others in Yuzhou, in order to guard against this Zhang Chao. With Pan Feng and others here, a small Zhang Chao can't afford to make any big waves.

However, although Yuan Shu thought very well, after he sent troops to Chen Liu, he still attracted the attention of the princes of one side, and this prince was Liu Biao, who now occupies Jingzhou.

In the first year of the first peace, Yuan Shu was appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang, and Liu Biao at that time was confronted by Sun Jian because of the matter of the jade seal of the country, and he did not have the spare strength to collect Nanyang, and he also needed someone to attract the attention of the major princes from the north for him in Nanyang, so he recognized that Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang and did not use troops against Yuan Shu.

However, Yuan's future development is really a bit beyond Liu Biao's expectations, and now it has only been two years since Yuan Shu entered Nanyang to serve as Nanyang Taishou, Yuan Shu is the land of Nanyang and Yuzhou, with huge power, with 100,000 elite troops under his command, and has become the first level of princes in the world. Such a rapid development made Liu Biao also feel a little uneasy, and began to have some other thoughts in his heart.

In the first year of Chuping, Liu Biao and Sun Jian fought fiercely because of the matter of the jade seal, but for various reasons, Liu Biao not only failed to let Sun Jian hand over the jade seal, but instead made Sun Jian become the climate in Jiangdong.

When Sun Jian just returned to Jiangdong, Liu Biao could still suppress Sun Jian, but now Sun Jian's power has developed rapidly, and he is already able to compete with Liu Biao, and Sun Jian is in Jiangdong, relying on the Yangtze River, so that although Liu Biao holds the Jingzhou Naval Division, he has no way to deal with Sun Jian. Because of the world's water division, Jingzhou water division can be called the second in the world, but Jiangdong also has the Jiangdong water division of the world's first water division, and Sun Jian now has Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were originally Yangtze River water thieves, in charge of the water division, so that the strength of the Jiangdong water division is on a higher level, coupled with the Yangtze River natural danger, it is difficult for Liu Biao to reach Jiangdong to fight with Sun Jian.

And now two years have passed, which has made Liu Biao's fiery heart for the heirloom jade seal also cooled, although he still plotted against the heirloom jade seal in Sun Jian's hands, but it was not as good as when he first got the news.

Jiangdong is difficult to plot for the time being, and the land of Jiaozhou is of little value, so Liu Bei set his sights on Nanyang.

Nanyang is the largest county in the world and is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, but to be honest, although Liu Biao is now named the lord of Jingzhou, he does not have any control over Nanyang, and the current Nanyang is controlled by Yuan Shu. Such a situation will naturally not satisfy Liu Biao.

A few years ago, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and controlled Jingzhou with the help of the power of the four major families in Jingzhou, and now Liu Biao's ambition has not been wiped out, and he is still ambitious or ambitious.

Jiangdong and Jiaozhou are temporarily unable to develop, Yizhou is even more difficult to travel, Liu Biao's goal is naturally on Nanyang, and now Liu Biao has Wen Ping, Wang Wei, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zu and other generals, and the strategists also have Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others, and they can also support Liu Biao's ambitions.

However, this time Liu Biao was ready to plot against Nanyang and did not fully get the support of the four great families of Jingzhou, the four major families of Jingzhou supported Liu Biao to enter Jingzhou because Liu Biao was able to stabilize Jingzhou and prevent Jingzhou from causing chaos, but in the hearts of these great families, there is no ambition to compete for the world, even if they have a thousand resourcefulness like the Kuai Yue Kuailiang brothers, but their vision has always been in a corner of Jingzhou, and they have not been put in the whole world.

It's just that Liu Biao's control over Jingzhou is very strong now, so Liu Biao's action against Nanyang can be carried out smoothly this time.
