The news of Gongsun Zhan's death in Youzhou soon reached the ears of Cao De, who was in Chang'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, Cao De did not react much after receiving the news.

Gongsun Zhan's defeat was doomed. First of all, this place occupied by Gongsun Chan is not good. Youzhou is not only on the northeast corner of Dahan, but also on the northeast corner of the Central Plains. And this has led to the fact that Youzhou's economy is still one section worse than that of the Central Plains.

Although Cao De's Yizhou and Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou are very similar, Yizhou and Youzhou are still very different.

To the north of Youzhou is the vast prairie, but there are wolf-like enemies on the prairie, which also causes Gongsun Chan to face the attack of the enemy from the Central Plains, and beware of the peep of the enemy on the grassland in the north. And Cao De is different, the west of Yizhou is a mountain, even if there is an enemy, then they can't pose a great harm to Cao De.

And another point, the surroundings of Yizhou are basically blocked by lofty mountains, so that the chances of the people of Yizhou being attacked by the enemy outside are much smaller. And Youzhou is even different, the endless Great Plains, the soldiers can run as much as they want on their war horses, so the people of Youzhou are much worse than the people of Youzhou.

So, Gongsun Chan perished. However, the demise of Gongsun Chan was not without benefits, because Yuan Shao took over Gongsun Chan's territory, allowing Yuan Shao's strength to expand, and Yuan Shao's capital to compete for world domination was a little stronger.

Therefore, now Yuan Shao's goal is only to merge the state.

Bingzhou was originally Dong Zhuo's territory. When Dong Zhuo was doing mischief in Luoyang, the person in charge of the state was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu.

Niu Fu doesn't have any big skills, his biggest advantage is that he is obedient, and he is also Dong Zhuo's relative, so Niu Fu can be ranked in the United States pastor.

And Niu Fu didn't disappoint Dong Zhuo, didn't make any big trouble, and honestly stayed in Bingzhou to take care of Dong Zhuo's home.

After that, Dong Zhuo was defeated, and when Dong Zhuo's life and death were unknown, Li Dao Guo Yan, who Dong Zhuo once relied on, betrayed Dong Zhuo, but Niu Fu, who had never been seen by Dong Zhuo, was loyal to Dong Zhuo. Therefore, Dong Zhuo can continue to occupy the state behind the scenes, looking forward to the opportunity to make a comeback.

However, Dong Zhuo had no chance. Because Liangzhou and Youzhou have become the territories of Cao De and Yuan Shao respectively, next, Cao De and Yuan Shao have to rectify each other and merge with each other.

In recent years, the speed of development under the secret command of Dong Zhuo has also been very fast. And Dong Zhuo grew from a dick to a person on the side of more than 10,000 people, and then to poverty. It can be said that Dong Zhuo has tasted all the hardships of the world. As a result, Dong Zhuo, who was immortal in the catastrophe, finally began to reflect on himself.

Therefore, the state will have today's prosperity. Therefore, Bingzhou has become a delicacy on other people's tables.

According to Cao De's own plan, after he owns Yizhou, Liangzhou and half of the division, he can completely close the door and quietly watch others fight with each other. When they were all tired and bruised, wouldn't it be easy to go out and punch and kick themselves to clean up a few exhausted guys.

However, when Cao De discussed the next course of action with Jia Xu, Xu Shu, and Guo Jia in Chang'an, Jia Xu and all three proposed that Cao De should occupy and annex the state.

Because there is a natural barrier in the state, Taihang Mountain!

Taihang Mountain is basically the dividing line between Bingzhou and Jizhou. With Taihang Mountain as an obstacle, as long as the most important passes are guarded, it is equivalent to grasping the initiative of the whole world.

If Cao De takes and annexes the state again, Cao De's territory seems to be on the edge of the Han Dynasty, almost encircling the entire Han Dynasty, but Cao De's defense is dangerous. In this way, the home is safe, and you can dare to do it drastically outside.

After the explanation of the three people, Cao De understood, but because the Wuqi Battalion, the Wuwei Battalion and the Four Cavalry were busy expanding and reorganizing, Cao De was not in a hurry to attack and merge the state.

Moreover, at that time, Yuan Shao was still playing with Sun Zhan. Through intelligence, Cao De thought that Gongsun Zhan would not be able to entangle Yuan Shao for half a year to a year. However, the final result was that Gongsun Chan was shot by Gongsun Du's secret arrow, and he didn't even arrive for a month.

However, when Cao De heard that Yuan Shao was busy beating Gongsun Du again after Gongsun Zhan's death, Cao De breathed a sigh of relief. However, after the news of Yuan Shao's withdrawal from Liaoxi came, Cao De's heart rose again.

No, Yuan Shao, is this going to merge with me? However, what followed was the news that Liu Yu, the king of Yan, was seriously ill. Cao De breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the reason!

The current Cao De is not suitable for the expedition and annexation of the state. Cao De has just brought Liangzhou under his command, and now Liangzhou is in the stage of being in ruins after all these years of turmoil, and the heroes of the green forest who have just come out of the mountains are also in urgent need of appeasement.

The current Liangzhou and Chang'an regions still have no sense of identity with Cao De, so Cao De has to put heavy troops here to deter Xiaoxiao.

It was soon August and the time for the harvest was approaching. Needless to say, with various water conservancy projects built by Cao De and sufficient grain seeds, although the weather this year is relatively dry, Yizhou still ushered in a bumper harvest year.

However, the Chang'an region was not good, and not long after the grain was planted, Cao De declared war on Li Dao and Guo Yan. The smoke is about to rise, and the people have no idea of farming with peace of mind. Coupled with the already dry weather, this year's harvest in Chang'an is not half of last year's.

As for the situation in Liangzhou, the situation is better than that in Chang'an, after all, it has not been devastated by the war between Cao De and Guo Yan. After Li Dao was killed by his subordinates, Li Dao's army surrendered. Everywhere Cao De's army went, there was also a silence.

But when the soldiers from Hanzhong looked at the stingy grain seedlings in the fields of Liangzhou, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Therefore, Cao De quickly ordered a batch of grain to be transferred from Hanzhong.

In fact, the map about the granary in Hanzhong that Zang Ba brought to Yuan Shu was true. However, Hanzhong did not say nearly three million but, but one million but, there are still some.

After Cao De's food was divided, there was an endless stream of people from all over the country who came to thank Cao De. And Cao De also took the opportunity to open his Naxian Pavilion to Chang'an.

Just when Cao De was watching the thriving development of Liangzhou and Chang'an, suddenly an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter came to the General's Mansion in Chang'an.

After Cao De read it, he immediately ordered the White Tiger Cavalry and Xuanwu Cavalry, who were still training, to Wuwei County, and then Cao De summoned Lu Bu, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, took Guo Jia and then rushed to Wuwei County.

And the affairs of the Chang'an region, Cao De, were all handed over to Gu Yong and Xu Shu.

Why did Cao De leave so quickly? And on this day, when Xu Shu was cleaning the table for Cao De, he inadvertently touched a bamboo slip to the ground. Xu Shu looked at it, this was the handwriting of the lord. Although Xu Shu didn't want to read the specific content, only a few words revealed in it deeply attracted Xu Shu.

Xu Shu opened it curiously and took a look, a cup of tea was enough for an order to come from the general's mansion, prepare 300,000 but the grain should be sent to Wuwei County as quickly as possible!
