Letting go of Lu Bu one by one triggered the fiasco of Gongsun Zhan, which was a big loss for the Nanyang army. Because Gongsun Chan is He Xian's ally, Zhen Dao, who commands the Wuhuan elite cavalry under Gongsun Chan, is the force that He Xian is stationed at Gongsun Chan's side. After Gongsun Zhan's defeat and retreat, Yuan Shao had no worries north of the Yellow River, and he was bound to join the competition for the Central Plains states. The first to bear the brunt was Cao Cao, who occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou. The second is He Xian, who occupies the area of Sili Xiaowei. But it was too late to regret it, and from the perspective of the time, sending Zhang Liao to intercept Lu Bu was too risky for the Nanyang army. The best disposition at that time was to inform Cao Cao in advance and join forces with him to strangle Lü Bu's army in the area of Yingchuan and Chenliu. But there is no regret medicine in this world, and the past can never come again.

When the war came to an end, the Han Dynasty had already entered February of the sixth year of Chuping (195 AD). A major incident also happened in Jiangdong, which had been filled with gunsmoke before: Sun Jian was ambushed and was shot to death by Yan Hu's poisonous arrow!

Yan Hu, alias "White Tiger", so called "Yan Baihu", is from a wealthy family in Wu County. Previously, Yan Hu established an armed force of about 10,000 people in Baihu Mountain, Wu County, to dominate one side. After Sun Jian rose to power in Wu County, he swept away these local strengths, and Yan Hu was one of them. After Yan Hu was defeated by Sun Jian, he fled to the county guard Wang Lang. During Sun Jian's conquest of the meeting, Wang Lang sent Yan Hu to lead the troops to fight against Sun Jian. Yan Hu was defeated repeatedly and fled into Huiji Mountain. Sun Jian chased after him for no time, and Yan Hu ordered his subordinate soldiers to lie in ambush between the bamboo forests and shoot them with hidden arrows. The arrow was poisonous, and Sun Jian was killed by the arrow. After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce succeeded him and led the Jiangdong Army to pacify Huiji County in one fell swoop, kill Yan Hu, and punish the nine clans of the Yan clan. Fortunately, Wang Lang, the county guard, surrendered quickly, and took the title of a famous man of the Han Dynasty, and under the persuasion of the generals, Sun Ce put away the butcher's knife and let Wang Lang live. After occupying Wu County and Huiji County, the Sun clan gradually gained momentum in the land of Jiangdong, and it can be regarded as having its own foundation.

After receiving the news summary from Jiangdong, it was already the seventh day after Sun Jian's death, and He Xian deliberately climbed the highest East City Gate Tower in Wancheng. Burn three sticks of incense and three glasses of wine to commemorate the old friends. After paying tribute to Sun Jian, He Xian ordered Xiaoqiang to put a desk in the pavilion of the East City Gate, scald a pot of turbid wine, and sat down to drink alone in front of the East. The gray sky began to snow, as gloomy as He Xian's heart. Every time he recalled Sun Jian's hearty laughter, He Xian's heart couldn't help but feel sad. This tiger in Jiangdong, a man who has fought for most of his life, finally died under the dark arrow, may there be no war in the sky, and may you reincarnate again, the Han has been calm.

After half the wine, Guo Jia wrapped in thick cotton clothes and slowly walked up the city tower with a bag of braised meat: "You have wine, I have meat, how about enjoying the snow together?" ”

He Xian's right hand was false, Xiaoqiang hurriedly added a seat to Guo Jia, and added a wine glass to Guo Jia.

"Sun Wentai I was a hero, but in the end he died in the hands of a young man like Yan Hu, it is indeed a pity." Guo Jia raised the wine glass in his hand, touched He Xian lightly, and sighed after drinking it all.

"The world is unpredictable, I'm just thinking about how I'm going to leave this world in the future!" He Xian exhaled a mouthful of wine and looked at the sky in the distance, his eyes were a little confused.

"Jia and the lord have known each other for 16 years, and you have always given Jia the feeling that he has a clear goal and high morale. It seems that since you were born, you have been working hard for that goal in your heart and have never given up. Sometimes, Jia also thinks about what kind of monster you are after all, never knowing tiredness and boredom. ”

He Xian chuckled: "I'm still starting to get confused after all. ”

"Confusion means that you are really starting to fear the world. Fear of the future is an emotion that every normal person should have. Guo Jia said lightly.

He Xian stared at Guo Jia and asked, "You mean, I used to be not normal?" “

Guo Jia ignored He Xian's rhetorical question and said, "I know that there is a powerful sect behind you. At one point, Ka even suspected that you possess supernatural means to probe information about the future. But now, Jia feels that none of this matters. As long as the direction of your efforts is for the Han Dynasty and the people of the world, you will always be the lord of Jiadeworth following! “

He Xian raised his glass and touched Guo Jia again, and said solemnly: "You are the best strategist in the world, but you are not a person who knows how to comfort others." If I talk again, I'm afraid I'll tell you the secret behind me. Are you sure you want to find out the secret? “

Guo Jia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stop!" Jia has already borne too many secrets of the Nanyang Army, and does not want to carry your private secrets anymore. Your secret will eventually become one of the biggest secrets in the history of the Han Dynasty. Jia can't avoid it, where is the courage to explore? Let's change the subject! “

"Hahaha~" He Xian laughed, Guo Jia is really one of the most cunning people in this era. Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, being able to control one's curiosity for more than ten years is not something that ordinary wise people can do.

"Say it, I knew that you Guo Fengxiao would not come to visit for no reason!"

Guo Jia took out a superstitious letter from his wide sleeve, handed it over, and said, "The investigation in Yizhou has progressed!" The caravan that infiltrated Yizhou came the latest news that Liu Yan, the former Yizhou pastor, had died of back sores last winter. Liu Bei, the former general and imperial uncle, listened to the plan of Xun You, the county guard of Bajun, blocked the news of Liu Yan's death, and launched a rebellion in Chengdu, driving out Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang, and appointed himself as the pastor of Yizhou. Liu Zhang, under the escort of the school captains Zhang Ren and Huang Zhong, retreated all the way to Zitong, and asked Zhang Lu for help, who was guarding Hanzhong, and the two joined forces to resist Liu Bei. Yizhou, smoke everywhere. “

He Xian spread out the secret letter, read it carefully, and said with emotion: "Uncle Liu Huang is really not a thing in the pool. actually hid in Yizhou in advance to develop the foundation, which is really unpredictable! What's more, without Uncle Liu's mixing, the Central Plains is already too much exciting! Let's make him proud in Yizhou! “

Guo Jia didn't understand why He Xian's evaluation of Liu Bei was so high. In Guo Jia's view, Liu Bei is just a talented man who relies on the identity of the emperor's uncle and plays small conspiracy. At the beginning, at the beginning of Liu Wei's ascension to the throne, Liu Bei deceived the emperor's trust and conspired with Liu Hong and others in an attempt to destroy the power of eunuchs, relatives and party members in one fell swoop, and reclaim all the military and political power into the hands of the imperial family. But because of his poor behavior, Dong Zhuo seized the opportunity and led his troops to capture Luoyang. As a result, Liu Hong died, Liu Wei was deposed, and the world was in chaos. Liu Bei and his sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were defeated in the Battle of Hangu Pass, and their whereabouts were unknown and they disappeared. didn't expect that it was Yizhou who was plotting to seize Liu Yan's territory.
