The decisive battle between Lü Bu and Cao Cao came as scheduled, although this battle had long been a battle that was bound to be lost in the eyes of Yanbei and Guo Jia, and ordered the Gao Lan Department stationed in Wei County to keep an eye on the situation, but unexpectedly Lü Bu won one victory after another on the east bank of Juye Ze. Although most of the small battles were won and defeated by each other, Lu Bu never lost a single battle in the big battle! In the blink of an eye, the front was advanced by Lu Bu from Dongping to Rencheng in the blink of an eye.

Could it be that Cao Cao, with an army of more than 30,000, still can't defeat Lu Bu's more than 10,000 soldiers?

In June, the battle situation of Yanzhou reached Jizhou, and what came faster than the battle situation was that Chen Liutai, who had rebelled against Cao Cao, sent a letter to Jizhou Mansion to ask for refuge - Cao Cao rejected Lu Bu in the east with many generals, and personally led the elite west to pacify Chen Liu, pacified Chen Liu in just three months, and led the army north to sweep Dongjun!

At the same time, Yuan Shao, who settled Qingzhou, led his army to the west, and formed a siege of Lü Bu with Cao Ren, the general who guarded the city, and only waited for Cao Cao to pacify Dongjun and send a fine cavalry from west to east to cut off Lü Bu's retreat.

The battle situation is easy to attack and defend day and night.

For Lu Bu, in an instant, he turned from a great victory to a dead man, and the only thing he was fortunate about was that the current situation in Guanzhong had already affected the whole body, and when Yuan Shaoxi was helping Cao Cao, he was ordered by Yanbei to wait for an opportunity to attack Tian Yufa along the Qingzhou line, and the pirates who had moved to Donglai attacked Le'anguo, so that Yuan Shao could not send troops to the west with all his strength; In Xuzhou in the south, Liu Bei, with the support of Tao Qian's old troops in the state, marched north to avenge Tao Qian and attack Cao Cao's south.

This movement indirectly bought Lu Bu some respite. However, the chaos in the first year of Xingping in the eastern part of the country was not the only one, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou took the opportunity to gather all parts of Jingzhou and took charge of Jingfan at the beginning; Yuan Shu, who was dormant in Shouchun, saw the opportunity to raise troops north between Yuyang and Yang, challenging Liu Biao in Jingzhou on the one hand, and Liu Bei who wanted to inherit the mantle of Tao Qian in Xuzhou surrendered on the other.

The situation in the Kanto region was out of control in an instant. However, these chaos could not affect Yanbei, who was far away in Youzhou and arranged a battle with Xianbei, he became more and more like a bad person, and he would feel joy from the bottom of his heart when he saw others unlucky.

I can't wait for the world to be in chaos, even if half of Youzhou is affected by the Xianbei invasion now, at least the impact of his Youzhou on Ji's grain is minimal, and his Jizhou is still not in chaos!

Not only was Jizhou not chaotic, but it also steadily developed towards the great governance after the chaos. Looking at the past from this direction, the war before Jizhou was even a good thing, and the inherent power class in the past was constantly changed and eliminated in the war, giving the Jizhou government an unprecedented opportunity to implement the field strategy and military strategy.

For this reason, Yanbei deliberately transferred Xun Yue, who had made Youzhou tend to be stable, to Jizhou and ordered him to preside over the reform of Jizhou...... It is foreseeable that when Jizhou completes the almost identical field policy with Youzhou, the two states of Youji will be able to truly become one.

In the first year of Xingping, there was no prosperity in the world, and there was no peace in the world. But at least all the princes can hear the good news in their favor, but Yanbei has received the most good news. Under the siege of Nanpi City, the food finally ran out in March this year, and the remaining soldiers could not hold on to the city for a long time, and even the strong men in the city were no longer enough to drive, and the bad news came into the city one after another...... In April, a plague broke out in the city of Nanpi, killing and wounding more than half of the people.

In May, the Nanpi officials, who were no longer able to support it, broke into the trial room at night to bind them and surrender the city. When Lu Yi's soldiers and horses marched into Nanpi City, the judge who had been guarding the city for nearly a year had already lost as thin as skin and bones, and although he was restrained and pushed by the hungry and red-eyed officials, he still craned his neck and looked south—that was the direction where Yuan Shao was.

Lu Yi didn't pay attention to this, what he cared about was that he had won another battle. just pouted and entered the arsenal of Nanpi City, and found that the crossbow strings and tendons in the city were all eaten, and his face was not good-looking after all.

This second largest fortified city, standing on the coast of the East China Sea in Jizhou, was finally destroyed by war, hunger, and plague.

In the eyes of Lu Yi, the single-minded pursuit of death is just futile, General Yan said that it is best to live, then the trial has to live, and there is no other choice. The rope was tightly tied, and after pouring two bowls of warm porridge, he was sent to Yecheng Prison by Lu Yi to be accompanied by Yan Liangwen and Chou.

It's just that these are not the best news for Yanbei, and the best news did not arrive one after another until late June.

The imperial court finally could not bear the chaos in Chang'an and the hunger caused by the lack of food and grass, and on this view, Li Dao and other Liangzhou soldiers reached a consensus with the hundred officials of the imperial court for the first time. Although they issued edicts to the prefectures and counties of Sizhou and last year to ask for grain, most of them passed the buck to each other, and some powerful princes such as Liu Zhang, who inherited his father's business from Yizhou, directly ordered Zhang Lu to lock up Hanzhong and ignore the imperial edicts.

Only Cao Cao sent people to transport 50,000 stone of grain to the direction of Chang'an after capturing Chen Liu, and Liu Biao sent 20,000 stone of corn to Guanzhong, but this is a drop in the bucket for the imperial court, not to mention that the people can't eat food, and the 70,000 stone grain and grass is still insufficient to supply the Liangzhou soldiers!

In desperation, the imperial court could only comply with Yanbei's request and began preparations for the eastward move in late May. Of course, this helplessness is only the helplessness of Liangzhou generals such as Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the hundred officials of the imperial court and the emperor have always hoped to move east.

Dong Zhuo selected the more intelligent Chen Liuwang as the emperor among the two princes, and the little emperor knew very well that he had already become a tempting fish and meat, staying in the hands of the princes of Liangzhou or in the palm of any prince in the world, and in the end he could only be reduced to the result of being eaten and wiped clean and dying in the poor streets and alleys without anyone caring about him...... The deposed Hongnong King Liu Wei, his brother, died under a glass of dove wine from Li Ru, which greatly stimulated the young emperor.

Liu Wei knew very well that he was nominally the supreme authority in the world, but he could only be used as a pawn today. If there is only one person in the world playing chess, the chess pieces lose their meaning. But if two people play chess, there is a high chance that the two players will clash and even fight on their own.

Only when chess players fight each other, and the officials of the court who once dominated the world and are now reduced to pawns, can they regain power.

returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and led the Yan clan into the game...... Promising!

Luoyang, as far as Yanbei is concerned, is also the next battlefield. But now, his eyes are still firmly fixed on the Juyong Pass, behind the Xiong Pass, there are boundless Xianbei warriors, Yanbei wants to defeat them and ravage them.

"General, Juyong Pass guards Zhang Nian sent a message, the city wall of Guannan has been dug up, and it is difficult to defend the deer of the Xianbei tribes in the west, and more than half of the four thousand defenders have been lost under repeated strong attacks. Two hundred miles northwest of Jixian County, according to the general's tactics, trenches have been set up on the plains and ridges, scattered rangers on the grasslands, bows and crossbows in the river valleys, and buried in the forests to dare to die. Guo Jia bowed his hand and said, "Youxi, you can fight." ”

Yan Bei had been waiting for this moment for too long, and he finally walked out of the dark room, but he was dizzy from the sunlight outside. After a moment of coming back to his senses, Yan Bei squinted his eyes and said: "Three days later, the defenders of Zhuolu were defeated and retreated, and Juyong Pass was withdrawn. Command all the troops, follow me to the battlefield! ”

Ke Bineng, Yan waited for a long time.
