Chapter 588: It's Been a Year
It's been a year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At first, when Ding Chong led the team from Yumen Pass for the first time was in June of the eighth year of Jian'an, and now it is May of the seventh year of Jian'an, and Ding Chong has not returned. However, judging from the reports constantly sent by Jiaohe City, the capital of the former Cheshi country, Ma Chao and Ding Chong should not have anything major.
Now, there is information about the Western Regions on Cao De's table, and he has just arrived when Ding Chong has returned to make Kangju and the Dayue clan. Regarding Ma Chao's matter of asking for a wife in the Western Regions. Ding Chong and Ma Chao both chose to keep it secret, because they wanted to surprise Cao De!
Now that the war is over, the losses of the soldiers on the expedition have been kept to a minimum. Cao De's heart let go of most of it. And now the big Han, after more than a year of development, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no change.
In the past year, Cao De's power has basically not changed, and it is still the land of Yizhou, Chang'ansi, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou. And in the rest of the place, there is almost no change where there is no change, and where there is change, it is earth-shaking.
Among them, Liu Yu hung up. Liu Yu, who had struggled all his life, finally went to see his ancestors and ancestors with guilt.
Liu Yu's death was a big loss for the Han Liu family. Although Liu Yu's territory is small, his prestige is very high. At the very least, when Liu Yu was alive, most of Youzhou was still the territory of the Liu royal family. But now that Liu Yu is hanging, Cao Cao sent Yu Ban to lead troops to take over Liu Yu's territory. Today's Cao Cao can also be regarded as owning the land of four states.
Now, the entire northern part of the Han Dynasty, in addition to the Gongsun degree of Liaodong, also occupies it. The rest was all divided between Cao De and Cao Cao. It's not that Cao Cao doesn't want to recover Gongsun Du. In fact, Cao Cao also had to use Gongsun Du to block the Wuhuan people in the north and the Goryeo people in the east.
These two places are equivalent to chicken ribs. Cao Cao is coming, the distance is a little far, once a war occurs, it will be just a loss of troops. If you send heavy troops to guard it, you will divide your own strength. Therefore, it is better to keep Gongsun Du, give him some bones from time to time, and let him show Cao Cao the gate.
In the east of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei also managed Qingzhou and Xuzhou into a monolith. And the most important thing is that Liu Bei got the Zhuge family. Now the head of the Zhuge family is Zhuge Xuan. Because of the fall of Yuan Shu, Zhuge Xuan did not have the opportunity to lead the family to move west. And the current Zhuge Liang is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. Moreover, the current Zhuge Liang has no chance to make friends with Sima Hui and others, so although the current Zhuge Liang is very smart, he has not yet reached the point of becoming a demon. However, now Zhuge Liang's elder brother Zhuge Jin has begun to show his prominence and has taken on a key role under Liu Bei. All this indicates that Liu Bei has risen!
To the south of Liu Bei, there are Cao De's two nephews of the Sun family.
After Sun Ce surrendered to Cao De, supplies from Hanzhong were continuously transported to Changsha County, Sun Ce's front-line base camp. And Sun Ce relied on these materials to consolidate Yangzhou and take most of Jiaozhou.
Although Sun Ce now has only one complete Yangzhou, plus half of Jiaozhou and two or three counties of Jingzhou. But Sun Ce's territory is much larger than Liu Bei's.
And in this year, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu finally married the destined Da Qiao Xiao Qiao. Cao De is Sun Ce's only strongest uncle in the world. Naturally, Cao De was invited to preside over his wedding.
But at this time, the traffic was not as developed as in Cao De's previous life, and the safety factor was not so high. Therefore, Cao De refused with satisfaction.
In fact, there is another reason for Cao De's refusal. Now Cao De feels that he has entered a period like a wolf and a tiger. If you don't do it for two days, you feel uncomfortable. What's even more unbearable is that Cao De now has the idea of taking a concubine again. If Cao De accepted Sun Ce's invitation. If you can't help but snatch Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, then Cao De is not a beast.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are famous beauties, and Cao De knows that he will definitely not be able to hold it when he sees it. So. Let's just not go. Just send a representative and bring a generous gift to congratulate you. However, on the issue of this candidate, Cao Desi thought about it and finally decided that his father-in-law would come forward.
Cai Yong is not only Cao De's father-in-law, but also a bachelor of the Han Dynasty, and he is also the etiquette of Han China. Go and marry your grandson's boy, no problem! And in order to take care of his father-in-law, Cao De sent a combination of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao is now Cao De's general of Zhengdong, and he is also a representative of the young generals under Cao De. Therefore, this trip is not so much about Zhang Liao protecting Cai Yong, but about Cai Yong and Zhao Yun guiding Zhang Liao.
Three people, a knowledgeable old man, a mature and steady Zhao Yun, and a Zhang Liao full of the vitality of young people, have many adventures along the way, but Cao De is full of recruitment. Is the combination of these three really so lucky?
To the west of the Sun family, to the east of Cao De's Jingzhou, the biggest force is still Liu Biao. Since Dong Zhuo accepted Liu Biao as the pastor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao has been conscientious in this position, trying his best to keep the ancestral foundation. And the facts prove it. Over the years, Liu Biao has never offended anyone, but the rich Jingzhou has often attracted the prying eyes of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Liu Biao understands that the main reason why his Jingzhou did not attract the two tigers Cao De and Cao Cao is because his reputation abroad is still okay. Liu Biao has never taken the initiative to provoke others, even if people enter the door, Liu Biao is just a passive defense.
However, the situation is different now. Liu Biao feels that the current calm will be the calm before the biggest storm.
As long as the swords and soldiers in the world move, Jingzhou will bear the brunt of the attack. Moreover, the war will gradually spread from Jingzhou and extend to the entire territory of the Han Dynasty again.
Looking at the world, Liu Biao's most recognized heroes are Cao De and Cao Cao. And the beginning of the great war, I am afraid that it will be my own death. As soon as he hangs up, Jingzhou will basically have the surname Cao. Although Liu Biao knew that if Jingzhou followed Cao De, the people of Jingzhou really didn't have to worry about it. However, as a relative of the emperor, Liu Biao still has an unspeakable force in his heart.
It's better for Jingzhou to be in the hands of your own family!
It's just that the current Liu Biao doesn't have the heart to care about the general trend of the world. Because, in Liu Biao's territory, a group of water bandits suddenly appeared.
In Liu Biao's view, they did all kinds of evil, specializing in robbing large families or official warehouses all over Jingzhou. You said that you can't rob anything, you have to rob my official warehouse, I really don't know how to write dead words!
Liu Biao once sent a large army to encircle and suppress them, but those hateful people often helped them escape at critical times.
The army has been encircled and suppressed for several months, and in addition to strangling hundreds of water bandit minions, they have only seen the back of the water bandit leader from a distance a few times.
It's really annoying to me!
At a time of internal and external troubles, Liu Biao suddenly heard that there was a Cao De's mission to borrow from Jingzhou. And the leader is still Cao De's father-in-law, Liu Biao hurriedly issued a pass order. We can't afford to mess with him, and in the previous time, Cao De also took the route from Jingzhou many times to transport all kinds of materials to support Sun Ce. The implication is not to be detailed.
The mouth-watering supplies passed safely, and if the mission of dozens of people could not be safe, it would really become a joke.
However, the truth is always so coincidental!
