In the early autumn of 313 AD, on the fourth day of Yuan Shao's capture of Luoyang, Henan Yin and Hongnong Counties within the eight passes of Luoyang all fell into the hands of Yuan Shao.

Prime Minister Yuan Kui, Taifu Yuan Feng, Dahonglu Ma Riyan, etc., either directly or indirectly died at the hands of Yuan Shao.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu, who owned the land of Qingyan, captured the entire territory of Yuzhou, as well as the two counties of Jiangbei in Yangzhou.

There are also a lot of people who died in his hands, Chen Wen, the Yangzhou assassin of the Chen family, Lu Kang, who had just taken office as the Taishou of Lujiang in the Lu family, and so on, all died in his hands.

Of course, there were more people who died, especially Yuan Shu, who was tyrannical by nature and led a group of tyrannical generals, and no less than one million people died in their hands, which was the result of the ultimatum of the Chu army.

The Central Plains is in the hands of Yuan Shu, and there are two powerful alliances of Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, and in the eyes of many people, the situation in the world has become the first force of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao, who occupies Luoyang and rich Hebei, and also has many small princes' alliances under his command, has become the second in the world.

It's just that Cao Xing, who is in the "barren land" on the border, is isolated and has no allies, and he has become the third.

Dong Zhuo, who slowly exchanged land for ordnance, grain and grass and other materials, only half of Liangzhou remained, and the army had already stepped into the Western Regions through the Silk Road, and the territory of Shanshan State was also well managed, and the Great Han Dynasty Feng State Dong State had been established on this basis.

Han Fu, Sun Jian, Liu Yu, Yuan Yi, Cao Ren, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin, Cao Yong, Cao Yu and others have already sealed the blockade, and they either use this as a foundation, or leave these as a retreat for the family.

No matter how powerful the melee in the Central Plains is, they won't come back.

The three-legged situation has been achieved, at least the people of the world think so.

Of course, the Wancheng Chu army under the rule of Nanyang County, which is next to Luoyang, is excepted.

In the northeast of Jingzhou, Nanyang County, it is adjacent to Henan Yin, which is the most important Sili, to the north, and Ruying, the most important in Yuzhou, to the east, but it is different from Henan Yin and Ruying, and the Qinling Mountains, which divide the north and south, protect its land.

It can be described as a unique territory, just in the largest city in this area, Wancheng, people all over the world think that far away in the South China Sea, may have just received the notice, and there are still months to arrive in the Central Plains Cao Xing, has been living in this city for several days.

In the Wancheng County Government, Cao Xing, who was on the main seat, drank tea leisurely, and praised it: "Feng'er, yes, the tea art has grown, presumably your mood has also grown a little, and you are no longer so irritable, right?" ”

Cao Feng nodded, since learning tea art, it seems to have no effect on himself, sometimes he feels that he is a subordinate, and he can't learn anything at all, and when he really realizes some tea ceremony, Cao Feng surprisingly found that his state of mind has become so peaceful.

Now what I see most on Cao Feng is no longer the rudeness that I had to use a knife to make a stick before, and there is still some elegance between my eyebrows, and there is a great posture to develop towards Confucianism.

Prior to this, Cao Feng was a pure military general, or a pure military general who was not a commander.

The county government is not only Cao Xing, Cao Feng's father and son, but also Wenwu also gathered together, Xun Yu, who stopped talking to see himself, Cao Xuan smiled apologetically at him:

"Interrupt Wen Ruo, I'm very sorry, you continue!"

Xun Yu, who was originally in charge of Si Li, was holding a book in the hall to report the situation, and in addition to the civil and military who returned from Nanyang, all the teams of Si Li and Yuzhou were here.

Bao Bao Zhong Xuan, who had just joined, and Liang Guoxiang, who had lost his hometown, Xu Shao.

When Yuan Shao occupied Luoyang, Tiger Prison Pass used it as a bargaining chip to exchange millions of displaced people with Yuan Shu.

Xun Yu's face was not very good, but because of his duties and morality, he began to continue to report:

"After Yuan Shu took the two counties of Jiangbei, he did not have the slightest intention of restraining the troops under his command in Lujiang and Jiujiang, and connived at the army to loot on a large scale.

Even the Shijia Haoqiang in Jiangbei did not let go, starting from Lu Kang's Lu family, a large number of families will be purged as long as they oppose his Yuan Shu.

Once the fort is breached, the patriarch and his opponents will die, and the rest will become prisoners......"

Xun Yu's face became more and more ugly, and the bottom of the pot was better than him, and Cao Xuan also asked:

"Is there an agreement to only rob and not kill?"

Xun Yu nodded, this is the Chu army's ultimatum to Yuan Shu's family, where will Yuan Shu have a bad relationship with the Chu army before he has no victory or defeat with his own slaves.

Luoyang and the Chu army fought a disastrous psychological shadow, he hasn't come out yet!

Besides, if he killed the people, what would he do to exchange money and food with the Chu army? The Chu army has a good man, who not only makes the people in his territory live and work in peace and contentment, but also cares about the life and death of the people in other places.

Cao Xing has to ask again.

Xun Yu really couldn't hold on anymore, and said with a dark face:

"Lord, since you are already in Wancheng, why do you want to give up Si Li, give up Yuzhou, abandon the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven in danger?"

The whole audience became extremely quiet, which was a question that everyone present dared to think about but did not dare to say.

Xun Su, Xun Yue, Xun Di, and the newly arrived Xun Chen and other Xun family members looked at Xun Yu and fell into fear.

Now that the talents of the Xun family are concentrated in Cao Xing's first camp, he is angered, and all the people surnamed Xun are given the result with one sword, and the Xun family will no longer exist.

Smiling is to be kind to others, it is a kind of polite performance, and smiling can also cover up good and evil, and smiling has long become a sign of Cao nature.

Cao Xuan looked at Xun Yu with a smile, shook his head and sighed: "Wen Ruo, this lord is the first sentence you have said since you met me in Wancheng, I know that if I can't answer your question well, then the lord will also be the last time you will call me like this!" ”

Xun Yu was very resolute, did not use the default way, and said bluntly without mercy:

"Exactly!"

The sound of cutting gold and cutting iron echoed in the hall, everyone only dared to look, did not dare to speak, and even Xun Su did not dare to open his mouth to persuade him.

Because this is an answer that everyone is looking forward to, and it is best that this answer can satisfy everyone.

Cao Xuan didn't rush to answer, nor did he mean to be angry, his fingers tapped the table a few times, and Cao Feng hurriedly reacted and added a cup of hot tea to Cao Xuan.

With the teacup in his hand, looking at the rising steam on the surface of the tea, Cao Xuan did not rush to drink it as usual, but opened his lips lightly:

"Do you tell me that there are people who are difficult to leave their homeland, and there are people who are thousands of miles away?"

Cao Xuan is a person who cherishes time very much, and people who cherish time often don't waste everyone's time, Xun Yu understands this, so he doesn't think it's an irrelevant question.

"The homeland has its own connections, land, and assets, which can give people a sense of security, and being an official for thousands of miles is where better connections, land, and assets are waiting."
