As a traverser, the biggest difference between Li Yi and people of this era may be his dedication to turf. Because of the limitations of the times, from the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and even the subsequent dynasties, they have never had much interest in the territories outside the Central Plains.

The reason for this is that the speed of development cannot keep up. Just like the four southern counties of Jingzhou mentioned earlier, the rest also include Anding County in Liangzhou, west of Liaoxi County in Youzhou, Yueshan in the south of Yizhou, Huiji County in Yangzhou and even several counties in Bingzhou, and even Jiaozhou in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. These places, in addition to being vigorously developed by Li Yi, are still sparsely populated barren areas.

Although there is also a part of the reason, it is because these places have a large number of barbarian settlements. But if it weren't for the fact that the development speed couldn't keep up, the Han Dynasty didn't have time to pay attention to these places, how could they occupy such a large area of land with these barbarians alone?

But Li Yi is obviously different, he knows very well what kind of state the future is like, since he has the opportunity, then why not try to open up the territory to realize the dream of the empire on which the sun never sets?

Of course, all this is still only in fantasy, and if Li Yi runs to open up the territory before unifying the world, it is obviously a sacrifice to the end.

It's just that if you want to unify the world, how can it be so simple?

Yanzhou, Chen Liu.

In Duke Zheng's mansion, Cao Cao was holding a letter and looking at it, he had been reading it for a long time, and his posture of reading the letter had not changed. I don't know how long it was, but he suddenly sighed and put down the letter. There was an unusually complicated look on his face, a trace of nostalgia, a trace of emotion, and many inexplicable emotions.

Seeing this, Xun You and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and then Xun You hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Lord, I don't know what happened to Duke Zhao's letter?" ”

"Hehe, Zikang hopes to unite with me." Cao Cao chuckled when he heard this, "Zi Kangyan said, Fang is in a big mess today, because there are too many ambitious people, so I hope to join forces with me to pacify the troubled times as soon as possible......"

"And what does the lord mean?" Jia Xu on the side asked in a calm tone, making it impossible to judge his thoughts from his tone at all.

"Alas...... If it was in the early years...... Cao Cao sighed and said, but when he said this, he shook his head again and sighed, "Hehe, even in the early years, it was impossible, otherwise, it would have been ...... at the beginning."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao did not continue, and Xun Yu and the others did not continue to ask. After all, they were not interested in or dared to spy on Cao Cao's privacy, not to mention that everything they wanted to know was already known.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly walked in, "Zheng Gong, Yan Gong's letter." ”

"Heh, today seems to be a good day~" Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and then took the letter but did not open it immediately, but looked at Xun You and Jia Xu and asked with a smile, "Two, why don't you guess what will be in this letter at the beginning?" ”

"Together." Xun You and Jia Xu said at the same time.

"Haha!" Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, and then opened the letter and read it. Without looking at it twice, he put it down, looked at the two of them again and asked, "Then I don't know if you two think, should I agree?" ”

"In terms of today's situation, it should be promised that Zhao Gong will capture Chang'an and take Liangzhou as much as possible, and his power is no less than that of the former Qin State. If we don't unite to confront it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that in a few years, no one in the world will be able to resist Zhao Gong's iron hooves. Xun You said respectfully.

"However, although they should be united, if the many forces cannot reconcile with each other, I am afraid that it will only be a repeat of the past." Jia Xu said lightly. Although he didn't say it directly, Cao Cao and Xun You naturally knew what he was referring to.

"Yes, but these things can only be discussed when everyone is willing to unite. Moreover, if you want to unite many forces in the world, there is still a big trouble! Cao Cao nodded and said.

Yangzhou, Nanchang City, Yuzhang County.

Yuan Shu kept looking at the person in front of him, this person was only in his early twenties, his eyes were like stars, his face was like a crown of jade, he was gentle and elegant, and he was a talent.

As for Yuan Shu's scrutiny, the person who came did not have any fear, he stood in place without arrogance or humility, with a confident smile on his face.

After a long while, Yuan Shu retracted his gaze, looked at the person who came, and said lightly, "I don't know if the virtuous nephew came from afar, but what happened?" ”

The person who came was Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi, hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yuan Xi smiled respectfully, "Uncle Hui, my father sent his nephew here this time, hoping to fight against Zhao Gong Li Yi with his uncle." ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, obviously very satisfied with Yuan Xi's call of himself uncle, although he was one year younger than Yuan Shao, he was a grandson!

It was only after hearing Yuan Xi's words that the smile on Yuan Shu's face disappeared, and the originally somewhat casual posture became formal. But there was still a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "In order to fight against that Li Zikang, Yuan Benchu actually planned to unite with me, a world-famous rebel and thief?" Hasn't he always boasted himself a loyal servant of the Han family? ”

"Uncle's words are wrong, the dispute between my uncle and my father is just a dispute within my Yuan family. No matter who wins or loses, in the end, it will be the Yuan family who will benefit! Yuan Xi said loudly when he heard this, while speaking, he had been watching Yuan Shu's expression, and after finding that he was not dissatisfied, he said again, "That Zhao Gong has now captured Chang'an and captured Liangzhou, and has formed a momentum of sitting firmly in Guanzhong." If my uncle and my father continue to fight each other, wouldn't it be cheaper for outsiders? ”

"Haha~ The virtuous nephew is really good at talking, come on, take a seat!" Yuan Shu laughed when he heard this, obviously Yuan Xi's words made him very comfortable.

Although he has been proclaimed emperor, Yuan Shu has never forgotten that he is a member of the Yuan family. Even if many members of the Yuan clan stood on the opposite side of Yuan Shu in the past, unless there was no way, Yuan Shu would just choose to put them under house arrest and take care of them.

However, despite this, it does not mean that Yuan Shu will agree to join forces with Yuan Shao, "Although Li Zikang's current strength is probably stronger than that of the Qin State in the past, the rest of the forces in the world are not comparable to the incompetent Six Kingdoms." Yuan Shu said lightly.

"Uncle's words, the nephew also knows very well, this time to the south, the nephew also saw the prosperity of the uncle's country. I believe that even if my uncle resists that Zhao Gong alone, he will not fall into disadvantage. Yuan Xi smiled when he heard this, but then he changed his words and said again, "Ran Fang today, in addition to the Duke of Zhao, there are also the King of Chu, the King of Qi and others, if the uncle and the Duke of Zhao fight, I am afraid it will be ......."
