In November of the third year of Chuping (192 AD), Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian and others issued essays one after another, responding to the call of the imperial court and condemning the thieves of Liu Biao and Lu Bu. Tao Qian directly sent troops to assist Cao Cao in attacking Yanzhou. At this time, Cao Cao had not yet turned his face with Tao Qian, because Cao Cao's father Cao Song was still staying in his hometown of Qian County to retire.

Yuan Shu really couldn't resist his greed and sent troops to aid the Yanzhou army! The reason for sending troops was that Cao Cao persecuted Liu Dai, the pastor of Yanzhou, and as a messenger of justice, he wanted to stand up and uphold justice. But as for Yanzhou Liu Biao and Lu Bu's theft of the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shu did not say a word and ignored it. Chiguo despised the intelligence of the world's heroes, ignored the eyes of the people of the world, and willfully expressed his deep desire for the jade seal of the country. Yuan Shu is like a spoiled child, the name of the fourth and third dukes, but it hurt him.

As a result, a major war involving five prefectures, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou, and at least four forces, unfolded in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It was an unprecedented scuffle. At least 400,000 people participated in the battle, and there were no less than 100 large and small battles, which lasted as long as 15 months. It has been from the winter of the third year of the early Han Dynasty to the spring of the fifth year of the first peace. In the end, even Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, who were north of the Yellow River, couldn't help but get involved and wanted to seek a benefit. Yuan Shao secretly supported Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zhan secretly supported Yuan Shu to fight Cao Cao, in short, the hinterland of the Central Plains became a pot of porridge.

Only the Nanyang Army has always stood still. In the palace of the Han Emperor in Wancheng, several secret edicts would be thrown out from time to time, secretly promising Yanzhou to Yuan Shao, Qingzhou to Yuan Shu, Yangzhou to Cao Cao, and Jizhou to Gongsun Zhan, trying to constantly provoke the greed of the princes and lead to endless wars in the Central Plains. The military advisor sacrificed the wine Jia Xu, with his own strength, to bring the benefits brought by the loss of the jade seal of the country to the extreme!

This is the greatest benefit of coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes!

During the melee, a large number of people from Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places flocked to Nanyang and Luoyang, He Xian ordered people to prepare for the unified resettlement of these refugees, set up camps, and reclaim wasteland. The Nanyang Army now has a complete set of measures for the resettlement of displaced people, refugees, and soldiers, and can give full play to the strength of these laborers as soon as possible to build their own homes. What resources are most valuable in troubled times? Manpower, of course!

Of course, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others also knew the preciousness of the population, but because of the tense war and the three changes in a day, they had no time to take care of the territory where these people fled to He Xian. The final result was that Cao Cao fought through layers of bloody battles, fought his way out of the siege, and finally won the ruling power of Yanzhou and Qingzhou, but sadly found that the people of the two states were nearly one-third less! The war dead were only a few hundred thousand, but more than two million people, fled from Qingdao and Yanzhou, and went north to Jizhou, south to Jingzhou and Yangzhou, east to Xuzhou, and west to the Sili Xiaowei area. Among them, there are especially many people who fled to Nanyang and Luoyang, no less than one million, which is equivalent to the population of Nanyang County.

Cao Cao looked at the two states full of devastation, and his heart was inexplicably sad and indignant, vowing to kill Liu Biao, Lu Bu, and Liu Dai!

Although Liu Biao, Lu Bu, and Liu Dai were driven out of Yanzhou by Cao Cao, for the sake of the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shu placed them in Yuzhou. Yuzhou is bordered by Yanzhou in the north, Jingzhou in the southwest, and Yangzhou in the southeast, which is the frontier battlefield where Yuan Shu's forces border Cao Cao and He Xian. Yuan Shu placed the three of them in Yuzhou, precisely because he took a fancy to Lu Bu's ability to command troops, hoping that he could help him resist the counterattack from the forces of Cao and He!

Huiji County, Zhuji, Sun Jian Daying.

It is said that the princes were fighting in the Central Plains, and Sun Jian was not idle in Jiangdong. He defeated the Yan Baihu forces entrenched in the Qu'a and Wucheng generations, and after completely controlling Wu County, he burned the war to Huiji County. In Zhuji County, Huiji County, Sun Jian received a secret report from Yan Xiang and learned that Yuan Shu had been worried about Sun Jian's reluctance to send troops to attack Jiangxia. Now that Yuan Shu had finished the war in the Central Plains, he began to think about this matter, and Yan Xiang ordered him to prepare early.

Sun Jian hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Sun Jian now has generals such as Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhu Zhi, etc., and Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhou Yu and others, and his talent power has increased greatly, and he is not inferior to the princes of the Central Plains.

Sun Ce took the lead and said: "Father is worry-free, although Yuan Shu has many generals and a large number of generals, he is all general. If you really dare to raise troops to fight, you will only bring humiliation on yourself! “

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "What the eldest prince said is good! Although our army is not afraid of Yuan Shu, at this juncture of pacifying Wang Lang's army, it is better not to fight. What Yuan Shu did was just a breath of fighting. If the lord can take the initiative to ask for guilt, Yuan Shu's qi will inevitably decrease slightly. If he can offer a few treasures related to the dragon, Yuan Shu will definitely be happy, and maybe he will reward the lord with more money and food! “

"Dragon-related babies? What does Zhang Gong mean by luring Yuan Shu into thinking about it? Sun Jian asked.

"Yuan Shu has long had a heart of disobedience, and recently obtained the jade seal of the country, and the evil thoughts in his heart must be more vigorous. What the lord did was just to let Yuan Shu face what he was thinking. Zhang Zhao explained.

"Inducing Yuan Shu to rebel? Wouldn't that seem a bit dirty? Sun Ce finally understood what Zhang Zhao meant, and asked with some hesitation. The current Sun Ce is only in his early twenties, because He Xian occupied Jingzhou, so Sun Jian refused to attack Jingzhou; Because Sun Jian did not attack Jingzhou, he did not die under the secret arrow of Huang Zu; Sun Jian lives a healthy life, so Sun Ce does not have to bear the pressure of conquering the world too early. Under Sun Jian's wings, Sun Ce has to live a relatively simpler life, he is a fierce general, more than a politician.

"Soldiers, treacherous! Yuan Shu has the heart to kill me, and the young general can't have the kindness of a woman with him! As Zibu said, Yuan Shu is not right-hearted and wants to be the emperor, which is not something that anyone can stop. For our army, it is just to do what it likes and avoid a military disaster! Zhang Hong also stood up to support Zhang Zhaodao.

"It's just that this dragon-related treasure, where to find it?" Since the two masterminds said so, thinking that this was the most in line with the development of the Sun family, Sun Jian naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Why do you need to look for it, there is a ready-made treasure in this Zhuji City!" Zhou Yu, who was behind the two, finally seized an opportunity and came out of the queue with his fists.

"Oh? Gong Jin said, what kind of treasure is hidden in this Zhuji City? Sun Jian looked at this tall and handsome Mei Zhoulang curiously and asked.
