The world was shocked in the first battle of Guandu, and hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China were discussing, and it seemed that the Han family was in danger now. Cao Cao's power at the moment is even stronger, and he is full of tigers and tigers when he walks. After the victory in this battle, Cao Cao planned to attack Jizhou after a year's rest. Yuan Shao's territory is very large, which still needs Cao Cao to slow down. After all, attacking cities and grabbing land is not a field battle.

Yuan Shao fled all the way to Jizhou, and then Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi returned to their respective territories. Yuan Shao left Yuan Shang behind, and this kind of love for Yuan Shang simply made Yuan Tan crazy. He can even meet his father who will let Yuan Shang inherit his title, which makes Yuan Tan have a lot of resentment towards Yuan Shang.

When he returned to Jizhou, Yuan Tan went back to Qingzhou directly, and he was already thinking about his future path. As for Yuan Xi, the weakest of the two brothers, he felt that something was wrong after he returned to Youzhou, but he couldn't say that there was something wrong there. Liu Bei secretly gathered a lot of people to prepare to invade Youzhou, but because of this defeat, Yuan Shang did not find anything abnormal.

According to the records, Cao Cao would attack Yuan Shao two years later, and Cao Cao was stockpiling grain for the past two years. But now he doesn't need it, Liu Zhang gave him a lot of food, plus there was a lot of food that Wuchao got later. Cao Cao did not withdraw his troops, and was ready to take a little rest and take Jizhou directly......

This is also why Xu Shu quickly sent Liu Zhang, once Cao Cao easily got Jizhou, it would be too late for Liu Zhang to send troops at that time. Once Cao Cao had formed the climate, Xu Shu knew that the only place they could go to was Liu Zhang's territory. But Liu Zhang will face the powerful Cao Cao next, whether in terms of population or combat effectiveness, I am afraid that Liu Zhang will not have the upper hand, this is the purpose of Xu Shu's trip.

This time, Xu Shu was accompanied by Zhao Yun and forty elite soldiers, and they only had to follow the path towards Luoyang. Yuan Shao's envoy met Liu Zhang in Luoyang, and they all knew about it. Xu Shu also felt that Liu Zhang was afraid of Yuan Shao at first, but after careful analysis, he felt that it was a little indescribable. Yuan Shao's envoy must have been fooled by Liu Zhang's men, and Cao Cao's victory was definitely not just because of Xu You.

When he walked through Xinxiang and entered the main road, Xu Shu found a large number of soldiers along the way. These soldiers occupy all the intersections and keep a close eye on those coming from the north. Xu Shu found that these soldiers tied up some deserters directly when they were caught, and all those who brought a large number of swords, bows and crossbows were arrested.

When it was Xu Shu's turn and the others, Xu Shu stepped forward to report his identity, and after asking, the leading lieutenant asked a team of cavalry to take them to Luoyang, and it was impossible to act alone. Even if there are many of them, these captains are not afraid of them, and if they die here, then they will definitely not be able to escape unless they take a detour through the mountains.

Xu Shu asked curiously, "I don't know what happened in Luoyang?" Why is there such a strict investigation here? "Could it be that there is a big incident in Luoyang, which led to Liu Zhang's strict investigation?

The lieutenant said solemnly: "Master Chen said that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will fight a decisive battle, and we must prevent the remnants of the two sides from flowing into the territory and harming the people. Once found must be controlled, all the intersections into Luoyang have our brothers. "These soldiers were brought by Chang'an, and they can be regarded as having nothing to do and pull them out for exercise.

Xu Shu frowned after hearing this, this kind of thing is a bit of a waste of money and labor, but this Lord Chen is definitely a good official. However, seeing that these soldiers did not complain, Xu Shu didn't ask much. But this made Xu Shu can't help but sigh, why is there another capable person here in Liu Zhang?

"Is there anything else that Master Chen said besides these?" Xu Shu inquired a little, and he could be regarded as knowing about this Lord Chen.

The captain didn't suspect anything, and the ordinary people knew about it: "There is nothing else, just to prevent these homeless people and remnants from harming the people." ”

With the captain no longer talking, Xu Shu had nothing to ask. Looking at the desolation along the way, it seems that there is no difference between here and Xuzhou. But as he approached Luoyang, he found that there were more and more merchants here. Although there are still traces of ruins here in Luoyang, there are already many people who have come out to work outside. What surprised him was that the walls outside Luoyang City were actually painted white, and there were many newly built houses in the city?

I didn't expect Luoyang to fix it so quickly? The people in the city seem to have just returned from the field, and this is noon to go back to eat? On the faces of those people, Xu Shu did not see numbness and hunger. These people looked exceptionally good, and when they looked at Xu Shu carefully, they also found that the people's clothes were not bad. So it seems that the people of Luoyang don't seem to be hungry?

At this time, there was a large group of men in the distance wearing the same clothes, and it seemed that they had returned from working together? These people are talking and laughing, and they don't look like a ruin people at all? Whether a place is good or not, you only need to look at the people here, and you can naturally feel how it is here.

Xu Shu observed very carefully, and the faces of the people here did not have the kind of long-term hunger on their faces, nor did they have the kind of numbness to life. It seems that everyone's face is full of tired smiles. It can be seen that these people are still very satisfied with their current lives, which makes Xu Shu puzzled for a while.

Mr. Xu, wait a minute, I'll go and inform Mr. Chen. After saying that, the captain walked towards the hall in the city, and Chen Qun and the others must be working at this time. This kind of hall seems to be requested by Liu Zhang, specially prepared for the office of officials, and compared with the previous small façade, these places look quite good.

Xu Shu nodded and motioned for him to go, looking at this different hall, the door frame above was actually transparent glass? How much does such a large piece of glass cost? Can it be used as a window? That Liu Zhang is worthy of being greedy for money, this kind of extravagant behavior is simply shocking.

Chen Qun, who was dealing with official business in the house, still had a headache, and after Liu Zhang arrived here, many people also settled in Chang'an. Then came a lot of merchants, and the land here was much cheaper, and the workshops came here to start planting those cash crops. This word was said by Liu Zhang, that is, it has the value of planting.

But this allowed Luoyang to have financial growth, coupled with the control of the population, which made Chen Qun and others busy. Compared with the millions of people in Chang'an, they really don't know how Zhang Song and others work, and so many miscellaneous things are really a headache.

"There is a messenger outside Lord Chen who asks to see him, it seems to be the envoy of General Zuo Liu Bei." The lieutenant saw that several adults were busy, and he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Chen Qun rubbed his eyebrows, drank a cup of tea and said, "Liu Bei? Let them take them to the parlor outside, and you go and inform the lord. After speaking, Chen Qun immediately got up and left.

Outside the door, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun stood on one side, full of curiosity about this place of work. Seeing a young man in his twenties walking out, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward: "The envoy of General Liu Bei of the left asks to see him, I don't know if the hussar general is in Luoyang?" Chen Qun in front of him looked about the same age as him, but the power in his hands was not comparable.

Chen Qun returned the salute and said: "The general is taking a lunch break, why don't you eat first and wait for my lord to come to the meeting after the lunch break?" "Liu Zhang is busy every day Chen Qun doesn't know, anyway, Liu Zhang has been in Luoyang for so long, and the chance of seeing Liu Zhang every morning can really be counted on one hand.

Chen Qun's answer really made Xu Shu helpless, and followed Chen Qun to the living room. Naturally, someone brought food, and these meals looked very exquisite, and Xu Shu and Zhao Yun also sat down to prepare for dinner, to be honest, they were already hungry when they were on the way.

The food still tasted very good, but the two people who were extremely hungry did not eat less. The meal was followed by tea, which was a good service. After eating and drinking, the two of them rested on the chaise longue on the side. At this time, after Liu Zhang had eaten, he had just laid down to rest......

In the early time, when Liu Zhang learned of Yuan Shao's defeat, he was really surprised. When the detailed news came, Xu Yu's betrayal and Yuan Shao's grain and grass were burned, all of which Liu Zhang basically knew. Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran also went to take refuge in Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's power has become much stronger since then.

At that time, Liu Zhang felt that this battle would last until the second half of the year, but who would have thought that the battle would end in August. In the end, Yuan Shao defeated an army of more than 500,000 troops, and was actually killed by Cao Cao. Liu Zhang was actually skeptical about this, and many people did die on the battlefield......

But many more should have just run away, or most of them were hiding. As for Cao Cao, it would be good to kill more than 100,000 at most, Liu Zhang can be sure of this. However, after these soldiers run back, or after they hide, they will definitely not appear, Yuan Shao has lost so many troops, I am afraid it will be over.

Liu Zhang was still waiting, waiting for the news of Cao Cao's attack on Jizhou. As long as Cao Cao goes to attack Jizhou, Liu Zhang is ready to meddle in the affairs of the annexation of Jizhou, and Liu Zhang is definitely not afraid of a head-on conflict with Cao Cao. Yuan Shao is finished, Liu Zhang can also slap him with confidence, as long as he dares to be fierce with himself, Liu Zhang will definitely slap Cao Cao directly. Anyway, Yuan Shao is no longer good, and there is no one Cao Cao wants to form an alliance with, so Liu Zhang doesn't have to worry about someone suppressing him on both sides.

As for Liu Bei? What if he occupies these places in Youzhou? He definitely hates Cao Cao, and it would be a bit interesting if the two of them formed an alliance. Liu Bei kept saying that he would support the Han family, and it would be really interesting if he formed an alliance with Cao Cao. Therefore, Liu Zhang can rest assured that he can bully this and that, of course, it is not ruled out that Liu Bei will really ally with Cao Cao, but then Liu Bei's reputation ...... Liu Zhang, who is missing a big enemy, is actually quite comfortable, and now he only needs to wait for Cao Cao to attack Jizhou. When Cao Cao's scourge in the north was not good, Liu Zhang was intervening. 10
