Zhang Yang's sudden withdrawal made the Northern Regions Army who were waiting for it confused. At the suggestion of Xi Zhong, Xiang Ao took the initiative to send troops to clean up the Montenegrin army in Shangdang, and at the same time had ideas about the Wei County and the country.

"My lord, the party is the main road between the north and the south, and the east and west. Now that the lord of Montenegro Zhang Yan has given up, the Taihang Mountains, and it is our time to go down the mountain to occupy Wei County. Xi Zhong pointed to the map and said: "Between Sheguo and Yecheng, more than 200 miles, there is no big county pass to guard. At this time, our northern region can crusade against the banner of the Montenegrin rebels and occupy the country, no matter who owns Jizhou in the future, our northern region can be attacked and defended. ”

"Sheguo is located on the eastern side of Taihang Mountain, occupying Xiongguan, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can not only threaten Jizhou, but also pose a threat to the eastern part of Hanoi, and in the future, Wang Kuang can be driven out of Hanoi by looking for an opportunity to turn around. ”

After Xi Zhong said, Xiang Ao thought for a moment, and ordered with a firm face: "Bai Li Jin is the Zhonglang general, Xi Zhong is the military advisor, leading 10,000 elites, attacking the country, and the generals will listen to his orders!" ”

"No!" In the tent of Hukouguan, the group will be enthusiastic to receive the order.

At this time, the Qing Jizhou River was in the country.

"Brother, do you really want to oppose Han Zhoumu?"

"Why not?" Cui Yan calmly drank tea and said: "Deru, now that the Han family is weak, the world's heroes are rising together and fighting each other. If we want to continue to prosper, we must find the Lord and vote. Han Fu has no ambition and no talent, and sooner or later he will be the food of other princes. After Yuan Shaonai was the fourth and third dukes, on the day of raising the flag, the major families of Yingchuan came to serve. ”

Cui Lin, the younger brother of the Cui Yan clan, heard this, nodded approvingly: "In this case, Lin will contact the major families in Jizhou to welcome Yuan Shao into Jizhou, and he can also have more rights for his brother to speak under Yuan Shao's account in the future." ”

Cui Yan nodded, turned down the teacup and said solemnly: "Don't let Han Fu notice, lest Han Fu die and break the net." ”

"Brother, don't worry, brother can save it!" Cui Lin nodded and retreated at Cui Yan.

Han Fu is a native of Yingchuan and a protégé of the Yuan family. After seeing the general trend of the world, Han Fu was worried.

"My Han Fu is a protégé of the Yuan family, and now after the Yuan family, Yuan Shao seems to have bad intentions towards my Jizhou, what should the Benzhou pastor do?"

Looking at the ministers and generals he relied on in the hall, Han Fu asked a little aggrieved.

"With a little doubt, I wonder if the lord can answer it?"

"It's okay to say it to the south!" Looking at the Wei County celebrities who were not reused by themselves, Han Fu's face was displeased. Although the trial is upright, when he protects the interests of the family, he is the most obvious person, which makes the foreign Han Fu dislike.

"Please forgive me for being rude!" The judge stepped forward and asked solemnly: "From the perspective of the lord, compared with the lord, what is the fame of Yuan Shao compared to the lord?" ”

"The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, of course, their reputation is higher than that of Benzhou Mu!"

"Wisdom and courage in the face of danger, all kinds of geometry?"

"I might as well too!"

Han Fu is also self-aware, but the interrogation is questioned in front of everyone, which makes Han Fu, who is unwilling to deceive himself, embarrassed, and his face is extremely ugly. As if he had never seen it, he continued: "In this case, how does the lord plan to fight with Yuan Shao? ”

"Ridiculous!" The hall got up in frustration, pointed at the judge angrily and shouted: "Although the territory of Wuji Prefecture is small, it is very rich, and it can raise millions of male teachers. What do you mean by trying to confuse the public with your demons and trying to trick the lord into giving up Jizhou to Yuan Shao? ”

"Hehe, can you dare to use force with Yuan Shao? Ru Fu Gong and can represent the Jizhou family? The judge turned around, looked at Fu Zhi and said with a sneer.

Fu Zhu is just from a poor family, although he has great talents, but he is not valued by the Jizhou family, how can he represent the Jizhou family. Frustrated by the trial, he stared at the trial with angry eyes. Tian Feng, who was also a colleague and a friend next to him, also looked angrily at the trial.

"Lord!" Tian Feng said to Han Fu: "We are cold at any time, and we are indeed loyal to the lord. Yuan Shao's reputation is not low, he is erudite and talented, but at this time, he is just cowering in the land of the Bohai Sea, and the lord does not need to be afraid! ”

"Oh!?" Without waiting for Han Fu to respond, the judge took over and said, "But Tian Yuanhao knows that Gongsun Zan of Youzhou is recruiting soldiers and horses, preparing to go south to crusade against Dong Zhuo?" ”

"What!?" Han Fu, who was sitting on the main seat, exclaimed, stood up in a hurry, stumbled to the trial and asked urgently, "What you said is true?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive the lord." The judge said solemnly: "The lord can send scouts to investigate on his back, and Gongsun Zhan may have arrived in Zhuo County at this time." ”

"Youzhou Mu Liu Yu didn't stop Gongsun Zhan?"

"The lord thinks that Liu Zhoumu can stop Gongsun Zhan?"

The rhetorical question of the trial made Han Hao speechless, and he slowly walked back to his futon with a depressed expression, and sat down on his knees. After a long time, Han Fu raised his head and said silently with a face: "Let's wait for the first step down, the matter of Jizhou has its own decision." ”

"We're leaving!" With a gloomy face, the judge looked at Han Fu who was sitting on the master's seat, and left.

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng looked at the threatening gaze cast by the judge when he left, and smiled helplessly. Looking back at the listless Han Fu in the lobby, the two looked at each other, both kept shaking their heads, sighed and left.

Han Fu liked rivers and lakes, and after entering Jizhou, he set his administrative office in Taocheng (south of present-day Ningjin County), where most officials also lived.

In the city of Tao, the residence of the frustrated grant.

"Yuan Shao is coerced, the lord is afraid..."

"Hey..."Tian Feng sighed and shook his head: "It is reasonable for the lord to be afraid of the Yuan family, and the prince doesn't have to care too much. It's just Yuan Shao..."

Frustrated to collect his mood and continued: "Yuan Shao relied on his family fame to gather warriors, and it was only a moment for him to conspire with his ministers. You can compete with the princes of the world! ”

"But Yuan Shao is even more of a gate valve!" Tian Feng said with a dark face: "Judging from today's performance, I am afraid that I have already secretly served Yuan Shao." Let's look at the attitude of the judges... Hum! ”

"Yuan Hao doesn't have to be angry!" Fu Zhu chuckled and said: "If the Lord is willing to fight with Yuan Shao with the nobility of his own state pastor, I will definitely do my best to assist." If the lord submits to Yuan Shao, he has already planned to grant it. ”

"Plans? Who? ”

"On the eve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I was given the guidance of others, and I was rewarded with a heart!"

Looking at the look of admiration leaking from his frustrated eyes, Tian Feng was curious and said, "Who is the one who advises?" What's the point? Unexpectedly, Gonghe was so respected. ”

"This person once said: The so-called extraterritorial, as long as you educate and identify, you are all my big Han people." Frustrated eyes, revealing yearning: "He said that he wants to let the people under his rule have food and clothing, regardless of whether they are high or low!" ”

"Northern Regions Town, Xiang Ao?"

Accompanied by Tian Feng's exclamation, he nodded indifferently. Subsequently, he slowly told Tian Feng what he had seen in the Northern Regions a few years ago, so that Tian Feng, who was originally depressed, slowly yearned for the Northern Regions. Especially when talking about Xiang Ao, for some reason, Tian Feng seemed to want to leave Han Fu immediately and go to the party to have a long talk with Xiang Ao.

Maybe it's time to get out of here, and there is a frustrated chatter in my ears, and I think so in my heart, and I look out the window faintly.

Yuan Shao's arrangements were not only for Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang, but also for Gongsun Zan of Youzhou to be introduced into Jizhou, and at the same time, as the leader of the alliance, he appointed Cao Cao Weidong County Taishou and ordered Cao Cao to go to Dongjun to suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turban who were still making rebellion in Dongjun. Cao Cao was already suffering from the development of the chassis, and after receiving Yuan Shao's instructions, he led thousands of troops, bid farewell to Zhang Miao, and happily headed towards Dongjun.

And Sun Jian and Liu Biao in the south also fought hard, and the battle in Xiangyang was fruitless. In desperation, the two sides had to give up, Sun Jian led the troops back to Changsha, and Liu Biao also let Sun Jian go for the time being, intending to recover Jingbei and all parts of Jingnan. Tao Qian's Xuzhou is much more stable, and no one cares about it for the time being, so that Xuzhou can quickly resume production.

After Liu Yan of Yizhou entered Sichuan, with the help of the local family, he quickly unified most of Yizhou. After Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in Liangzhou joined forces, they elected Ma Teng as the leader, and sent troops to Weiwu, Jincheng, Longxi and other armies to crusade against the Qiang people who were in rebellion, intending to bring Xiliang under their rule. As for Dong Zhuo, under Jia Xu's suggestion, he also plotted against the three counties of Anding, Hanyang, and Wudu in the eastern part of Xiliang, and after stabilization, he sent troops to Hanzhong.

Jiaozhou seems to have been forgotten by the princes of the Central Plains, and no one cares, so that Shixie, who was ordered to Jiaozhou at this time, led the clansmen to take Jiaozhou into the bag.

Five Plains of the Northern Regions.

After recovering Shangdang and capturing the country, after the Northern Regions army was entrenched in various key points, it hibernated, and the sound of cultivation was breathing, even Bai Bo in Taiyuan no longer paid attention to it.

"Lord, why did you leave Bai Bo in Taiyuan?"

"Has Yuan Zhi ever thought that if my Northern Regions recover the state so quickly, what will happen to Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Liu Yu and others?"

When Xu Shu heard this, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "The lord is wise, and his vision is even more long-term!" ”

Xiang Ao smiled lightly, ignored Xi Zhong's sycophants and said: "I have been fighting in the Northern Regions for more than a year, and all of them are big battles, and the soldiers of all departments must be exhausted. Since most of Montenegro has fled from Taihang and captured Wei County, and Bai Bo is not much of a threat in Taiyuan, why not give the world a false impression and relax their vigilance against the Northern Regions? Wouldn't it be better for the princes of all walks of life to fight each other, and to wait for work in the northern region of our country, and to develop the people's livelihood! ”

Xi Zhong, who was originally puzzled on the side, also suddenly realized and looked at Xiang Ao with admiration. Hu Zhao nodded even more thoughtfully, in Hu Zhao's view, people's livelihood is the most important, if there is no stable rear, how to recruit traitors?

After returning to Wuyuan to rest for a few days, Xiang Ao was once again frequently transferred to personnel, rearranging the Northern Regions and merging states. There is Taihang Mountain in Bingzhou to isolate the Central Plains, and there are Qiang people in the west and south, so that Ma Teng, Dong Zhuo and others have no mind to meet the northern region for the time being. Coupled with the white wave partition, with such an opportunity, Xiang Ao will definitely build the state into his own base.

As for Hanoi, which has a large population, under the protection of the Shang Party, no one can pose a threat to Hanoi for the time being. Moreover, in Yinnei, Henan, which is adjacent to Hanoi, there is Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty that is still recognized by the people of the world, and whoever gets involved will become the target of the crusade of the princes of the world, and Hanoi is even more worry-free.
