In the third year of Chuping (192 AD), the Han Dynasty was still not peaceful, and even such a major event as the hussar general He Xian's relocation of the Han Emperor to Nanyang could not attract too much attention from the Kwantung princes.

In the north, the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan has entered a white-hot state. Yuan Shao wants Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan wants Yuan Shao's Jizhou. In this life, after He Xian's reminder and pointing, Gongsun Zhan was obviously more resistant to beating. After several battles in succession, Yuan Shao did not take too obvious advantage. Because of Gongsun Zhan's containment, Yuan Shao was unable to intervene in the war south of the Yellow River.

In the central part of the country, Cao Cao originally had a tendency to unify Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, but he didn't expect to kill a Lu Bu halfway and occupy his old nest Yanzhou. Historically, Lü Bu also occupied Cao Cao's Yanzhou, but because Liu Dai was dead at that time, Lü Bu did not hold out for long, and was defeated by Cao Cao and fled to Xuzhou. But in this life, Liu Dai did not die, but was detained by Cao Cao. After Lu Bu and Liu Biao rescued Liu Dai, Liu Dai, as the former Yanzhou pastor, raised his arms and shouted, and his appeal was much stronger than that of Lu Bu alone. So, Cao Cao was blind, and he knew that it was better to find a reason to click Liu Dai off and bury it in the soil.

In the south, the main forces are actually He Xian and Yuan Shu. He Xian occupied Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu won most of Yuzhou and Yangzhou. In terms of region, Yuan Shu's strength is stronger than He Xian's, and in terms of population, the number of people under Yuan Shuye is more than He Xian's. Yuan Shu naturally set his sights on Jingzhou. As long as Jingzhou is taken, Yuan Shu is equivalent to taking one-third of the Han Dynasty. But in fact, He Xian's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of.

The news of Kong Lingwu's defeat and killing of the sailors reached Shouchun, and Yuan Shu was furious, and then ordered Qiao Rui to lead 50,000 troops to Jingzhou. This time, Yuan Shu did not choose Nanyang, but Jiangxia. Because Yuan Shu also knew that He Xian's army had returned to Nanyang. Attacking Nanyang again, a good opportunity has been missed. It is better to attack Jiangxia, because Ji Ling's battle in Jiangxia was relatively smooth, and now, he has gone down to the three cities and advanced the battle line to a hundred miles away from Xiling City, where Jiangxia Yesuo is located. Huang Zu's official letter for urgent help was also changed from the initial half-monthly issue to one issue every three days.

"Lord, Huang Zu has been boiled almost, and if he boils it again, I'm afraid he will have a backlash, if he votes for Yuan Shu directly, it won't be beautiful." Guo Jia took Jiangxia's urgent report and came to He Xian to report.

He Xian smiled: "Then send someone to the expedition!" Feng Xiao thinks that which general is more appropriate to send to the expedition? ”

Guo Jiadao: "Jiangxia, as the front line of the battle between our army and Yuan Shu's army, needs a general to garrison in the recent period!" Moreover, Jiangxia is located in an important position, close to the Yangtze River, and is the most suitable base for building the Nanyang Naval Army. ”

He Xian's eyes lit up: "I already know what Fengxiao means!" Please recruit Changshui Captain Gan Ning to come to the big tent! ”

Guo Jia offered with both hands: "The lord is wise!" ”

"Gan Ning has seen assists, and he has seen military divisions!" In the first battle of Wushui, Gan Ning became famous and moved from the original Jinfan captain to Changshui captain. Although they are both first-class captains, Captain Jinfan is a miscellaneous captain, and Captain Changshui is one of the five schools of the Northern Army.

"Xingba, now that the war in Jiangxia is tight, Yuan Shu has sent 100,000 troops to attack the city. The general wanted to send you to aid Jiangxia, but he could only give you 30,000 Nanyang foot soldiers, do you dare to lead the troops to the battle? He Xian asked Gan Ningdao.

Gan Ning did not hesitate to take the battle and said: "Rest assured, the Yuan Shu army is full of cowards, and the three Nanyang elite soldiers are enough to solve Yuan Shu's 100,000 rabble!" ”

"Xingba, don't be careless, Ji Ling still has some talents, which are not comparable to Kong Ling's rotten Confucianism on paper. After you go to Jiangxia, you don't want to defeat Yuan Shu's army, just hold Xiling City, which is a great achievement. In order to make Yuan Shu withdraw from the army, I and the military advisor already have another plan! Within ten months, Yuan Shu will inevitably retreat! He Xian said firmly.

"Just defending the city, that's not even more of a problem!" Gan Ning said with great confidence.

"In addition to defending the city, Xingba still has two tasks to complete together!"

"My lord, please speak!"

"First, I will use the war as an excuse to order Huang Zu to hand over the Jiangxia soldiers in his hands to you to command! You take the opportunity of this battle to firmly grasp the Jiangxia military power in your hands. If necessary, you can kill some people! The political affairs are handed over to Huang Zu, and the military affairs are decided by you, and this division of labor cannot be messed up! ”

"Second, it is urgent to establish the Nanyang Water Army! From today onwards, Ben will appoint you as the Captain of Changshui to lead the Nanyang Naval Army, and within three years, you will need to train a combatable sailor of at least 30,000 men for Ben General! Xingba, dare to make a military order? ”

Gan Ning said solemnly: "The lord trusts each other with sincerity, how can Gan Ning have a reason to retreat?" Within three years, if you can't bring a brave sailor to the lord, I'd rather come to see you! Gan Ning knelt on one knee and clenched his fists to receive his life.

"Good! If you have any difficulties during the period and what materials you need, you can directly find the military advisor. The Nanyang Army will ensure that your supplies will not be shortaged! ”

After Gan Ning went out, He Xian ordered someone to invite Jia Xu and Cheng Yu. If you want to divert Yuan Shu's attention and prevent him from pursuing the Nanyang Army, which will lead to more wars, he can only sacrifice the magic weapon of the jade seal of the country.

Cheng Yu questioned: "With such a conspiracy, will Yuan Highway really fall for the scheme?" ”

"I don't know if the other princes will fall for the scheme, but Yuan Shu will definitely be tempted." He Xian affirmed.

Historically, Yuan Shu was narrow-minded and short-sighted. Holding a bunch of good cards ended up being scum. In order to realize his dream of being an emperor, he did not hesitate to risk the disapproval of the world, and ascended to the throne with the jade seal of the country. Then, there is no then. Under the betrayal and blows of Sun Ce, Lü Bu, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's power rapidly declined. First of all, Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu in Jiangdong and became independent, drove away Yuan Yin, the Danyang Taishou appointed by Yuan Shu, and jointly made Yuan Shu's Guangling Taishou Wu Jing and general Sun Ben abandon Yuan Shu and join Sun Ce after receiving Sun Ce's letter (both of them are Sun Ce's relatives), causing Yuan Shu to lose large areas of land such as Guangling and Jiangdong, and his power was setback; followed by Lü Bu's defeat of Yuan Shu's army and wanton plundering in Huaibei; The third is that Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu when Yuan Shu invaded Chen County, and Yuan Shu fled to Huainan again. In the end, Yuan Shu vomited blood and died in desperation.

The current Yuan Shu is also the same as the Yuan Shu in history. First, nepotism, there are no outstanding talents under the command of the military. Sun Jian, the only strongman, is still developing in Jiangdong, and he is only one excuse away from breaking away from Yuan Shu. Second, there is discord between brothers. He and Yuan Shao occupied most of the Kanto region, but they always refused to join forces, but instead pulled each other, giving He Xian and Cao Cao the opportunity to develop and grow.

If He Xian told Yuan Shu that in the hands of Lu Bu and Liu Biao, there was a jade seal of the country, would Yuan Shu still calmly fight with the Nanyang army?
