In the whole 190 years, the first half of the year was very lively, everyone was busy courting Dong Zhuo and fighting local tyrants, but since Dong Zhuo withdrew to Chang'an, they all fell silent again. Jiang Hong knows that this is the last calm when the storm comes, and the last peaceful New Year of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty has officially entered the second year of the first peace of war, welcome to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Just after the New Year, Jiang Hong was unwilling to be lonely, fired the first shot of the new year, sent Chen Zhi to the west, and captured 6 counties such as Xiaqiu, Xu County, and Huailing in Xiapi in the name of clearing the bandits, plus the previous Huaiyin and Huaipu two counties, Jiang Hong quietly ate half of Xiapi.

Tan County immediately sent someone to question Jiang Hong's intentions, and Jiang Hong said that he was a thief and temporarily took charge of 6 counties. Clearance of the bandits, clearance of the NMLGB, there is a fart thief, the envoy scolded. In this regard, Jiang Hong could only say very shamefully, he has beaten it all by himself, and you have the ability to snatch it back.

The envoys of Tan County were speechless, who didn't know that the new soldiers in Xuzhou were still training, and they didn't have any combat effectiveness at all, so they could only leave angrily with Jiang Hong, who was strong and strong. Seeing that Jiang Hong was so arrogant, Tan County didn't react at all, and couldn't help but think a little carefully, but to the north of Zang Ba is Qingzhou, where the yellow turbans are raging, and to the south is Donghai County, Xuzhou's old nest.

As soon as Zang Ba put his claws into the East China Sea, he was met with a crazy counterattack in the East China Sea, Zang Ba had to retract his claws and retreat to Langya, Tao Ying said, can't you cure Jiang Hong, can't you cure your little Zang Ba?

Without waiting for the troops to pause, Jiang Hong ordered Chen Zhi to lead 20,000 troops, and in the name of clearing Shanyue, he passed by Wu County and took the opportunity to attack Wu County. At present, this large piece of territory in the south is not to say that it is terra nullius, but the combat effectiveness of the defenders is very weak, and it is not a climate, so it will be a lot of waste to take more territory at this time, and then it will be a lot of waste to get a piece of territory later.

As for Jiujiang, which Jiang Hong has coveted for a long time, Jiujiang is the county where the Yinling Tomb of Yangzhou is located, no matter how weak the strength of the southern prefecture and county is, Jiang Hong feels that he still needs to give some respect. Besides, it is close to Runan County under Yuan Shu's command, and he quietly stole Yuan Shu's ass, and I feel that something is going to happen, so I still have to lead the troops myself.

Just in case, Jiang Hong also sent Cheng Yu to Chen to the army, in case of any trouble, there is a wise man by his side, it is better to ask more than to do it.

As for Jiang Hong himself, in addition to dealing with government affairs, he is to take in the displaced people on a large scale and implement Tuntian, the Central Plains will not be long before the war will break out, and the displaced people will be everywhere at that time, this is flowing gold, don't be in vain.

In addition, Jiang Hong was also ready to go to Wancheng in person, form an alliance with Yuan Shu, and first hug this thigh that is currently the second thickest in the big man, and hold it tightly. The first coarse is naturally Dong Chubby, but Dong Chubby is too far away, and it is better to hug Yuan Shu's thighs.

Jiang Hong took Dian Wei and some personal guards, and walked towards Nanyang, which took more than a month, and Jiang Hong felt that he was about to fall apart. The guards were also uncomfortable, and during this period, Jiang Hong had no adventures, no heroes to save the United States, no chance encounters with great talents, just in a hurry, very boring.

Finally arrived in Wancheng, Jiang Hong decided to relax after forming an alliance with Yuan Shu, but Jiang Hong, who was full of confidence, was told that Yuan Shu went out hunting. Damn, is it such a wave? There was no way, Jiang Hong had to go back to the post station, just to relax.

Walking on the streets of Wancheng, Jiang Hong looked at the bustling flow of people and the endless stream of vendors, which was much more prosperous than Guangling under his command, and one Nanyang County alone was almost worth the population of the entire Xuzhou, not to mention that Yuan Shu also had Runan, the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's really a waste to put it in Yuan Shu's straw bag, Jiang Hong sighed, if these two counties are put in his hands, then wouldn't the world be flattened? Jiang Hong lingered outside until late at night, and then returned to the post station.

went again the next day, but was told that Yuan Shu had not returned last night, and Jiang Hong could only discuss with Yang Hong under Yuan Shu first. Many people, including Jiang Hong, thought that Yuan Shu was very weak, but in fact, history was just the opposite, and Yuan Shu in history was strong.

The peak of Yuan Shu was in early 197, and Yuan Shu pacified Jiangdong and other places through various means. At this time, the territory of Yuan Shu reached Chen and Pei in the north; east of Xiapi, Guangling; south to Huiji Dongye; Jiangxia, which is connected to Liu Biao in the west, spans as many as 11 counties in Yang, Henan, and Xu prefectures, and was the strongest force at that time. Referring to the number of households in the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if this is used as a standard, Yuan Shu has a population of almost 8 million.

It's just that at that time, Yuan Shu was carried away by his own strength and rashly proclaimed himself emperor, attracting people from all over the world to refer to Yuan Shu as a public enemy. First of all, Sun Ce rebelled against Yuan Shu and became independent in Jiangdong, and then befriended Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu, who occupied Xuzhou, also turned his face. In the end, the drought fell in Huainan, and Yuan Shu was not properly governed, so that at that time, Jiujiang was uninhabited for hundreds of miles, and there was even a tragedy of cannibalism.

And in this series of blows, the heaviest is undoubtedly Sun Ce's betrayal, you know, in history, Yuan Shu was too good to say to the Sun family, and almost handed over half of his country to the Sun family. Sun Xiang, Sun Ben, and Wu Jing were respectively appointed as the Taishou of Runan, the Assassin of Yuzhou, and the Taishou of Danyang, Yuan Shu cared for Sun Ce, but was betrayed by a group of white-eyed wolves, of course, Sun Ce's betrayal was indispensable to the reason why Yuan Shu rashly became the emperor.

The defection of the Sun clan led by Sun Ce almost reduced the territory, troops, population, and financial resources under Yuan Shu's command by half, and finally under the blow of the Quadripartite Alliance, he could only retreat gloomily, and finally died on the way north to Yuan Shao.

Although Yuan Shu has not yet reached his peak at the moment, it is no surprise that Yuan Shu can now be regarded as the overlord among the Kanto heroes. Yang Hong is one of Yuan Shu's most trusted people, if he can reach a consensus with him, then an alliance with Yuan Shu is also a sure thing.

Jiang Hong and Yang Hong had a very happy conversation, and Jiang Hong also hinted that if this matter was completed, he would thank Yang Hong well. Yang Hong smiled and agreed, patted his chest and said, this matter is on him.

In the evening, Yuan Shu returned to the mansion and was ready to take a good rest, but when he saw Yang Hong looking like he had something to say, Yuan Shu asked:

"Xu Yang, what's the matter?"

"Lord Yu, Guangling Taishou, Lingjiang General Jiang Hong has come to the mansion today, intending to form an alliance with our army and communicate with each other." Yang Hong explained.

"Jiang Hong?" Yuan Shu thought for a moment, "Oh, it's the Jiang Hong who pursued Dong Zhuo with Meng De and then sent the appointment letter of Runan Taishou, right?" ”

"That's the man."
