In the fourth year of Chuping (193 AD), for the Han court, it was by no means a good situation, Wang Yun and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, originally thought that it was a turning point for the Han Dynasty, who knew that Wang Yun was stubborn and refused to surrender to the Xiliang generals, and Shengsheng forced these Xiliang soldiers who did not have much fighting will to rebel, and hundreds of thousands of troops counterattacked Chang'an, Lu Bu fled to the Central Plains, and Wang Yun chose to jump off the city tower to die and die.

And this is just the beginning, Li Dao Guo coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Ye Zhao secretly planned, there was no chaos in Guanzhong, but in the second half of the year and Ma Teng, Han Sui battle, Guanzhong lost a lot of vitality, and the Central Plains princes between each other is becoming more and more intense, compared with the first three years of peace, it can be found that the Central Plains, scattered princes are much less, but the big princes have appeared one after another, the most dazzling of which is Cao Cao.

Qingzhou yellow turban flooded, Cao Cao was invited to pacify, at the invitation of Cheng Yu and others, on behalf of Yanzhou Mu, Li Dao, Guo Yan because of the relationship to stabilize the regime, after Cao Cao handed over the documents, not long after, to help Cao Cao correct his name, Cao Cao officially became the lord of Yanzhou.

And Yuan Shao also in the same year, coerced Han Fu to abdicate and led Jizhou Mu by himself, which was two years later than the original history, but it did not affect Yuan Shao's power, and almost all the talents of He/Bei were under the account, Wen Youzhu, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You and the newly joined Xun Chen, Xun You, Guo Jia, Wu Youyan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other famous generals of He/Bei.

When Ye Zhao first got the information, he was also taken aback, Xun You and Guo Jiana were the main masterminds of Cao Cao in history, why did they vote for Yuan Shao?

However, after looking at Yuan Shao's actions in the Bohai Sea, Ye Zhao was relieved a lot, Yuan Shao is the kind of person who will be very shrewd and courageous enough under pressure, but when he has a lot of power, he is easy to expand.

Although the coalition did not really win the war, for Yuan Shao, the position of the leader of the alliance was a great political capital, he could command the princes, plus the fame of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, just a threat, Jizhou was easily obtained.

And because it is two years later than in history, in the two years of Bohai, Yuan Shaoxing agriculture, encourage industry/commerce, and make the best use of the military under his command, Bohai is a deserted place, but it is quite prosperous under his governance, coupled with the innate advantage of fame, it is easy to attract talents.

It's just that whether these talents can be retained in the future, Ye Zhao is not optimistic.

Whether it is him or Cao Cao, he knows Yuan Shao well, he holds part of the territory of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and his command is full of civil and military forces, and Yuan Shao at this time may have begun to expand.

In addition to these two people, among the princes of the Central Plains, there is one person who has to be taken seriously, the new Nanyang Taishou...... Lu Bu!

This is not the one who was assigned to Nanyang after defecting to Yuan Shu, Lu Bu served as the Taishou of Nanyang, speaking of which, he still has something to do with Ye Zhao.

Beside Lu Bu, there are two very important characters, one is the girl Luo Yan in the drunken immortal building in Luoyang in the past, and she is also the protagonist of Wang Yun's provocation of the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, as early as Luoyang, Lu Bu fell in love with Luo Yan, but unfortunately Luo Yan is a woman valued by Yuan Shao, no matter identity and status, Lu Bu is not qualified to compete with Yuan Shao at all.

Later, he voted for Dong Zhuo and was transferred to Chang'an, and the official was also promoted to the general of the chariot and cavalry, and the marquis of Wen, but Luo Yan was dedicated to Dong Zhuo by Wang Yun first, and Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo did not later turn against each other and laid the root of the bane.

After killing Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu naturally took Luoyan as his own, and he was obedient to Luoyan in every way.

And the other person was promoted, but he was ordered by Ye Zhao to defect to Lu Bu back then, and he was not reused under Ye Zhao's command, but he was like a fish in water under Lu Bu.

Ascension: What kind of virtue is that? Seeing people and talking about people, talking about ghosts, although he is a military general, he really has no ability, but this ability to slap horses and observe words and expressions not only serves Lu Bu properly, but also calls him brothers and sisters under Lu Bu's command Wei Xu, Cheng Lian and others, except for the newcomer Gao Shun who Lu Bu accepted when he was in Luoyang, Gao Sheng's relationship with Lu Bu's army is good.

When Ye Zhao's people found Gao Sheng, Gao Sheng refused in his heart, after all, Lu Bu treated him well, and he was far more like a person living under Lu Bu's tent than under Ye Zhao's account, so he was naturally unwilling to help Ye Zhao harm Lu Bu.

However, Ye Zhao didn't have the heart to deal with Lu Bu at that time, he just wanted to set up a barrier in his east, Cao Cao had already succeeded, but his transformation of Shuzhong had just begun, Ye Zhao needed a person to occupy Nanyang, as a barrier to Ye Zhao's east, and also slowed down Cao Cao's unification of the Central Plains, giving himself more time to complete a thorough transformation of Shuzhong's political system, ecology and people's livelihood, so that he could save enough capital to conquer the world.

Therefore, this time, Ye Zhao sent someone to contact Gao Sheng, not to harm Lu Bu, but to help Lu Bu, so that he would not run into walls on all sides and consume the little capital in his hand among the princes.

That time, Li Ru personally went to help Lu Bu with his calculations, of course, Li Ru did not come forward, but borrowed Gao Sheng's mouth to persuade Lu Bumo to go to the princes.

After all, at that time, Lu Bu was an official, a general of the Che Cavalry, a Marquis of Wen, and his subordinates were elite generals, no matter which prince, they would feel awkward about such a subordinate, and those who could accept Lu Bu were none other than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu's concubine Luoyan was crazy and infatuated by Yuan Shao back then, if he went to Jizhou to defect to Yuan Shao, even if Gao Sheng didn't say it, Lu Bu himself was not at ease.

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu don't have much grievances, but the problem is that there are so many elite soldiers under Lu Bu, Yuan Shu only needs to take one card of grain and grass, and Lu Bu has to be controlled by others, and this product has a criminal record.

In addition, Bingzhou, Lu Bu is reluctant to go back, Youzhou is similar to Bingzhou, Gongsun Zan is his defeated general, Lu Bu can't vote for him, Liu Yu is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and he has no good impression of Lu Bu, a character who once helped and abused, and can only stand on his own, so he doesn't have to be controlled by others and look at people's faces.

As for the whereabouts, Gao Sheng told Lu Bu about Ye Zhao and Liu Yan's attitude towards scholars, since these scholars were unwilling to accept Lu Bu, it was better to follow Liu Yan and Ye Zhao's method of governing Shu and wash the Nanyang scholars with blood, and then Ye Zhao suggested that Li Dao and Guo Yan use the set of plans, which were also packaged to Lu Bu, so that after Lu Bu washed the Nanyang family in blood, Nanyang would not fall into chaos.

This is also a chess piece for Ye Zhao, so that the scholars of the Central Plains understand that even without them, the world can still operate as usual, so that when Ye Zhao leaves Sichuan, the resistance from the scholar class will be much smaller, and the anger of the scholars in the world will be borne by Lu Bu.

The first person to eat crabs may not have a good result, Liu Hong has confirmed this step back then, so Ye Zhao rarely does things to face the entire scholar class, but will choose one representative after another, it was Liu Hong before, and now it is Lu Bu, step by step through these people to shake the deep-rooted foundation of the scholar class.

Lu Bu was at a loss at that time, and he didn't know where to go, Gao Sheng's words were almost recognized by everyone, and the most important thing was that Nanyang at that time did not belong, and it was suitable as a place to live.

So, Nanyang was washed by Lu Bu's blood, this place was the place where Guangwu was prosperous, and the family power was intertwined, but later Ye Zhao moved most of the people of Nanyang, at that time Nanyang scholars chose Mingzhe to protect themselves, Ye Zhao did not move their interests, but now, Lu Bu is here, he is poor and white, but he needs these interests to enrich himself, naturally there is no politeness, Nanyang Shi clan was almost slaughtered by Lu Bu, and the rest have fled to other places.

After Lu Bu took over Nanyang and raised his hand, he implemented the policy according to Gao Sheng's words, and sure enough, within a few months, Nanyang stabilized, but after this bloodbath, the thirty-seven counties of Nanyang were basically abolished, and the large county with a population of nearly two million in the past, after the three baptisms of the Yellow Turban, Ye Zhao and Lu Bu, the population decreased sharply, and Lu Bu was too punctual, and the population of the entire Nanyang County added up to only 300,000, and the scholars were extinct, but Lu Bu's pockets were bulging a lot, becoming one of the few princes today.

Dongjun, Puyang.

"Now that the lord is the lord of Yanzhou, this land of Dongjun is too close to Yuan Shao, and the minister thinks that the lord should retreat to Chenliu or Shanyang to avoid competing with Yuan Benchu." Cheng Yu, who was newly cast, bowed to Cao Cao and said.

"What Zhongde said is also what I have been thinking about recently." Cao Cao smiled when he heard this: "I also have the heart to move to the rule. ”

The battle to recover Yanzhou, his spoils are not only Yanzhou, but also tens of thousands of Qingzhou brave, now Yanzhou is basically pacified, Cao Cao has the intention to annex Qingzhou, if this governance continues to stay in Puyang, to occupy Qingzhou, there will be some whip out of reach, as long as Qingzhou is taken, he can break away from Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao across the river to rule.

"Wen is weak, Zhongde, and there is one more thing." Cao Cao thought for a while, looked at his two advisers and said, "According to the two of you, what is the governance strategy of Li Dao and Guo Yan in Guanzhong?" ”

Li Dao and Guo Yan counterattacked Chang'an, and then quickly stabilized Guanzhong, during which it was only April at most, which was not expected by everyone, and seeing that Guanzhong was now faintly restored, Cao Cao couldn't help but move his mind.

If he could emulate Guanzhong's governance, his dependence on scholars would be much reduced, but he would also lose many of his talents.

"My lord, it's better not to have this thought!" Xun Yu sighed and bowed to Cao Cao, but he didn't say anything that there is no country without scholars, Li Dao and Guo Yan's methods are enough to slap their faces, but they just said in a deep voice: "Now that the lord is under the command of scholars, if the lord does this, have you ever thought about how many talents he will lose?" ”

The time is not right!

Cao Cao nodded, didn't say anything, just smiled: "So ......"

"Report~" A poignant long voice came from far and near outside the door, and was blocked by the guards at the door.

Cao Cao waved his hand, motioned for someone to come in, and frowned: "What's the alarm?" ”

"Lord, old lady, he...... He was killed in Xuzhou! ”

"What!?"
