Emperor Yingxian had not yet crossed the Yellow River, and a battle report came from the north, which greatly increased He Chen's sense of urgency.

Liu Yu was engaged in Yuyang Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, and Cavalry Governor Xian Yuyin and others led Youzhou soldiers and horses to avenge Liu Yu, but they were afraid that Gongsun would be powerful, so they promoted Yan Rou as Karasuma Sima. Yan Rou recruited Xianbei, Karasuma and other soldiers and horses, and won tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Hu soldiers, and fought with Gongsun Zhan's Yuyang Taishou Zou Dan in the north of the Lu River, defeated Gongsun Zhan's army, and killed Zou Dan. King Wuhuan also led his tribesmen and more than 7,000 Xianbei cavalry, and accompanied Xian Yufu to meet Liu Yu's son Liu He and Yuan Shao's general Liyi, and combined a total of 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, defeated Gongsun Zhan in Baoqiu, and beheaded more than 20,000. As a result, Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu, and Youbeiping each killed the prefects placed by Gongsun Zhan, and united with Xian Yufu and Liu Hebing, and Gongsun Chan was defeated repeatedly, so he fled back to Yijing to hold on. Linyi River dug more than ten trenches, and built mounds as high as five or six zhang in the trenches, and built a camp on the mound. The mound in the center of the trench is the highest, reaching more than ten zhang, and Gongsun Zhan lives in it, only living in it with his wife and concubine, and hoarding 3 million grains.

Yi He was the last position of Gongsun Zhan, and it was Yuan Shao's famous tunnel battle in history, and after breaking through Yi He, Gongsun Chan was forced to commit suicide. Since then, Yuan Shao has completely unified the north, controlling the four prefectures of You, Hebei, Qingdao, and the four prefectures that are rich in outstanding people and rich in things, and the power is so great that no one in the Central Plains can match it.

He Chen was a little hesitant about this matter. On the one hand, he really wanted to follow the course of the great history, wait for Yuan Shao's army to defeat the official crossing, take advantage of the fire to rob, and take over the four states of Hebei before Cao Ying. But on the other hand, I was worried that I would welcome Emperor Xian, dig up Xun You, Guo Jia, and Cao Ying, and be able to develop according to the historical process, and then have a big battle with Yuan Shao in Guandu that will determine the fate of the north? Even if it really happens, without these two people to give advice, can Cao Ying still defeat Yuan Shao? If Cao Ying was killed south of the Yellow River by Yuan Shao like a chicken for his own reasons, he would have a lot of fun, and he would typically lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

For this confusion, He Chen casually threw it to Jia Xu, originally this guy still wanted to hide it, but he couldn't stand He Chen's repeated inquiries, and finally said slowly: "I don't know if the state pastor welcomes the saint, does he want to coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven, or do he want to be separated?" ”

For this question, He Chen wanted to refute it, but thinking of Jia Xu's ingenious heart, the more he covered it up, the more despisable it became, and he couldn't help but say solemnly: "Now that the Han family exists in name only, if you want to put swords and soldiers into the warehouse, and put the horse in Nanshan, you must use extraordinary means." ”

Although there is no positive answer, as long as the person with a little brain turns fast, he can understand the three flavors, Jia Xu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Today, the most powerful people are Zhou Mu and Yuan Shao." If the state pastor can take the opportunity to eliminate Yuan Shao, take Jizhou in one fell swoop, and unify the north, the situation in the world will be much clearer. Due to the continuous battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun, Jizhou is now full of people's words, and the state pastor took the opportunity to enter Hebei, and there were few less turmoil. ”

He Chen nodded thoughtfully, although Jia Xu's words were ordinary, they were still to the point, as long as he could destroy Yuan Shao and pacify Hebei, he would be able to stand alone, and when the time came, in the name of the Son of Heaven, he would raise the momentum of Hebei, and then drive heavy troops, those princes who were waiting and watching, were not they looking at the wind?

"If you want to take the four states of Hebei, now is a good opportunity. Yuan Shao's 100,000 army and Gongsun fought in Yijing, just when the rear was empty, as long as our army went out of the middle three paths, it could penetrate the entire territory of Jizhou. It's just that a certain worry is that the state guards Yanmen in the north and relies on Qiangqi Zhurong in the west, in case the army marches eastward, they take the opportunity to make trouble, but it is a bad thing. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The state pastor is more worried, although the Xirong tribes are fierce, aggressive and courageous, but the living environment is really difficult, the state pastor has been effective in the past few years to Qiang Huairou politics, and the effect is outstanding, especially in the Fuluo Department of Xihe County, it is the state pastor who obeys the words and plans to open the way for the war, in the final analysis, it is the improvement of the life of the tribe and the interests of the state. Therefore, the subordinates thought that as long as they sent an envoy and befriended the western Zhurong, there was nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Of course, if it is prudent, although Gongsun has been defeated in successive battles, but now according to the danger of Yijing, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to capture it in a short period of time, and Zhou Mu can also take advantage of this opportunity to completely eliminate the problem of Xirong Qiang and Xiongnu. Then he turned the gun and launched a fatal blow to Yuan Shao. ”

He Chen nodded, this method is feasible. I still don't want Yuan Shao to dominate the north, because the course of history has changed, and whether Cao Ying can get up is still one thing.

He Chen welcomed the emperor back to the state, and soon after, he issued an edict to the world, changing Taiyuan to Jin, and making it the imperial capital of the Han family. At the same time, the ground was greatly revitalized, the palace was built, and the lost ink and other things were carved on the seal, and the country name was changed to Jian'an.

Emperor Xian was welcomed and annexed to the state, and the princes' forces did not react much, most of them watched coldly, and it was nothing to do, and they hung high. There are a few people who sneer, thinking that He Chen has done a big stupid thing. Moving this hot potato to your home is purely to make trouble for yourself. Before seeing the benefits, the harm was seen first.

It's just that the benefits can only be experienced by He Chen and cannot be spoken.

Not to mention anything else, just those who have the heart to serve the court, just like the carp crossing the river, Luo Luo keeps flocking to Bingzhou. Whether it is a famous family or a poor people, they all want to find an official position under He Chen, and they have great expectations for being able to calm the world and the peace of the country and the people. You must know that He Chen, whether he is in Nanyang or in Bingzhou, is well organized, the people have something to rely on, and the scholars have hope. Although this guy is not less troublesome with the big clans, but even so, the big clans are still flocking to it, and the temptation in it is really huge, whether it is the Wang family of Bingzhou in the hands of He Chen, the momentum is better than before, or the Xun family and the Xiang family have gone further, or the Zhao family and the Huang family have risen from the declining families, and even Wei Yan, Gao Shun and other people born in the cold family are now in high positions and guarding one side, it is really He Chen's use of people without one character, and only the move, which makes him think that he is full of wealth, Eighteen literati and martial artists who have all kinds of weapons, which one doesn't want to glorify their ancestors and do a big job?

A large number of talents have been excavated and hired, and many unambitious people have been given the opportunity to show their strengths, and many of them are unknown people who are not recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms. This made He Chen wake up with a smile almost in his dreams, such as Zheng Hun, a manufacturer, and a papermaker like Zuo Bo, etc.

After the capital was settled, the first thing He Chen did was to perform three official affairs in the name of offering the emperor and young children, as a general of the chariot and cavalry, and a state pastor, and began to assist the government and government. Due to the lack of officials under the three princes and nine kings of the court, Xun Yu was temporarily regarded as the chief farmer, leading the affairs of the office, and holding the world's money and valley gold silk. Of course, this does not include He Chen's small treasury. With Tian Feng as the Guangluxun, he temporarily received too many things, and he was in charge of ceremonies, sacrifices, and official positions. He also took Huang Zhong as the captain of the guard, led the affairs of the captain, and temporarily commanded the soldiers and horses of the world. Among them, Guo Jia, Li Yan and other old ministers are also ranked in Jiuqing, and they are prominent for a while. As for Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Wei Yan, Zhao Yun and others, they were all marquis and generals, leading a party of soldiers and horses. It's just that this official seal is lively, and it's just a false name. Although the capital is Jincheng, the court also exists in name only, and Liu Xie has nothing to do except squat on the ground and draw circles. And the decree issued can only go around in the nine counties, and no one should take it seriously when it goes out and merges the state. But even so, it made the subordinates excited and couldn't sleep all night.

The second thing, He Chen faked the hand of the emperor and made the list of the world, showing Liu Bei as the left general to lead Xuzhou Mu, Sun Ce as the former general to lead Yuzhou Mu, Yuan Shu to lead Yangzhou Mu, Yuan Shao as the general, and Ji and Qing Prefectures and so on. As soon as this order was issued, all the princes of the world were dumbfounded. I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, He Chen clearly wanted to provoke disputes among the princes. Liu Bei led Xuzhou to fight with Cao Ying; Yuan Shao has already killed his eyes in the north, isn't this going on to completely fight with Gongsun Zhan? Sun Ce led Yuzhou to turn his face with Yuan Shu and fight each other. He Chen knew that if this edict continued, it was estimated that all the princes in the world would look at themselves as idiots, but He Chen didn't care, at least he would go out on his own expedition in the future, and he would also be famous, morally standing, and the project of face still had to be done.

Subsequently, according to Jia Xu's suggestion, He Chen began to use culture to infiltrate the Qianghu people with the economy when the princes from all walks of life kept fighting for territory, and the tribes of all sizes were divided and divided, suppressed and lured, and constantly opened the city. Thus opening up the corridor passage to Yongzhou and Liangzhou. Among them, of course, there is a bloody battle. Although He Chen did not personally conquer, Gao Shun showed strong leadership and command ability, and still killed the Hu people into an army, and surrendered to the army.

Before the end of the year, He Chen, in the name of offering the emperor, issued a summoning order to let the state ministers return to Jinyang to report on their work. The result can be imagined, none of the princes in the world entered the annexation state. No one gave a damn about this edict.

At this time, an emergency document from Yi He completely activated He Chen's mind.

Gongsun Zhan first sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army for help.

Zhang Yan has always been an ally with Gongsun, and soon sent his general Du Chang to 30,000 troops to support Gongsun first. Who knows that before Zhang Yan personally raised a large army to go to the battle, the greedy Du Chang plundered all the way, the soldiers were scattered, and the cavalry was successfully attacked by Yuan Shao's deputy general, and he killed several generals, and the killed Du Chang could not form an army, and when he fled back to Changshan, the soldiers were only hundreds.

Gongsun continued to see that Du Chang was defeated, and Zhang Yan could not send troops in a short time, so he turned to Taihang, entered the territory of the annexed state, and went to Emperor Xian for help, more precisely, to He Chen for help.

The great opportunity was placed in front of He Chen like this.
