In 195 years of Huaxia, in early April and October, Zhen Mi finally gave birth to a dragon son under the protection of many imperial doctors. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Tai, who is the emperor of the north, of course, is also the father of the child, Liu Tai named the first prince of the north as Liu Xiong! The starting point is naturally very easy to understand, Liu Tai hopes that his child Liu Xiong can also be like himself, become a generalissimo who dominates the territory!

In the same month, the princes arrived in Huacheng to celebrate Zhen Mi's birth, so the relationship between the parties eased a little on the bright side, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that this was the calm before the storm, and no one could guarantee that Liu Tai would not order the Tianci army to continue to go south at this time, and the princes were naturally worried about it.

Huaxia 195, mid-May.

Following Zhen Mi, Cai Yan gave birth to a daughter for Liu Tai, and Liu Tai named her Liu Lian, and immediately crowned Liu Lian as the lord of Yong'an. In this way, Liu Lian became the first heir of Liu Tai to be divided. Of course, although Liu Lian was crowned as the lord of Yong'an, Liu Tai did not give Liu Lian a real fief, after all, Liu Tai has always opposed the feudal system.

In the same month, Huang Zhong, who had been calm for a long time, finally went south again, but this time the number of enemy troops in the Sword Pavilion had more than doubled. No one can be sure, even Dongfang, who persuaded Huang Zhong to continue attacking the Sword Pavilion, would never be able to give a good explanation.

In the 195th year of Huaxia, Liu Miao in June Shu was an emperor who was unwilling to be lonely.

During this period of great joy in the north, Liu Miao has been very calm, but when the news of Huang Zhong's southward journey reached Liu Xuan's ears again, Liu Xuan really couldn't control his emotions.

On the spot, Liu Miao issued an order to crown the major princes, and all of them were crowned kings without exception. The dog jumped over the wall when he was in a hurry, not to mention Liu Xuan, the son of heaven? The purpose of these edicts is obvious, that is, to hope that the princes can block the Tianci army, if the Tianci army really breaks through the Sword Pavilion, then Liu Xuan's end will come.

Among the holy decrees sent by Liu Miao to various places, Cao Ying was crowned as the king of Wei, Yuan Shao as the king of Cheng, Sun Jian as the king of Chu, Sun Ce as the king of Jiangling, Liu Bei as the king of Wu, Gongsun Zan as the king of Yunnan, and Gongsun Du as the king of Jianning.

Seven kings!! The world is shocked!

No one can imagine that Liu Miao, the rightful son of the Han Dynasty, actually openly disobeyed the ancestral system and became the king with a different surname, so that Liu Miao's position in the hearts of the people and the Han clan naturally changed sharply. As for the major princes, even if they received the holy decree, they still maintained the necessary calm, and no one would think that this holy decree had any strength, after all, although the Han family was weak, it had not reached the level of real destruction, and there was still a fierce tiger eyeing it on the side!

Of course, if this holy decree is issued by Liu Tai in the north, the princes will definitely be overjoyed, now Liu Tai has swept the world, although the princes do not want to admit it, but they can't avoid this reality, if Liu Tai crowns the princes as kings, the princes are afraid that they will ascend the throne as soon as possible, but Liu Miao in Shu has that qualification?

In the 195th year of Huaxia, in July, Liu Tai could not remain calm!

You must know that the higher the official position, the greater the ambition of the princes, and the more troublesome it will be for the Tianci army to clean up at that time. For Liu Xuan, Liu Tai is quite speechless, it stands to reason that the evaluation of Liu Xuan in history is not bad, but why is Liu Miao so wasted?

On the spot, Liu Tai ordered Liu Miao to be completely removed from the sect master, and Liu Xuan's throne was revoked.

Liu Tai naturally could not ignore the requirements of the clan, and in the same month, Liu Tai transferred two legions from Liangzhou to the south into Yizhou, assisted Huang Zhong in conquering the Sword Pavilion, and handed over the command of the two legions to Huang Zhong, so that the soldiers and horses under Huang Zhong's command swelled to 180,000 at once.

But in this way, Liangzhou's defense is empty, you know, Liangzhou still has the Qiang neighbor, in case the Qiang people have any ideas, it will be a huge blow to the newborn Liangzhou!

Fortunately, Liu Tai was not blinded by the matter of happy children, after being transferred from the Liangzhou Legion, Liu Tai transferred a legion from the Western Regions to Jincheng to station, Jincheng is the Liangzhou barrier, the first line of defense against the Qiang people, as long as Jincheng is held, then even if the Qiang people have any ideas, it is just a small fight.

In Huaxia 195, when the news of the clan's expulsion reached Liu Xuan's ears in August, Liu Xuan was simply furious, responded to Liu Tai as soon as possible, and angrily scolded the clan as a traitor to the Liu family. Of course, Liu Miao did not get dizzy, at this moment, Liu Xuan's first priority was to prevent the loss of the Sword Pavilion, so Liu Xuan immediately ordered the recruitment of troops and horses, and forcibly purchased grain and grass from the gate lord clan at a low price, so that the gate lord clan's resentment towards Liu Miao rose in a straight line.

In the same month, Dian Wei, who had attacked Wenshan County, finally occupied the northern part of Wenshan and confronted Gongsun Zhan, and loomed into a threat to Chengdu. Because Gongsun Zhan's battle was unfavorable, Liu Xuan was also very annoyed, but Liu Xuan couldn't do anything to Gongsun Zhan, after all, people had no obligation to keep every piece of land for Liu Xuan.

Moreover, Liu Xuan's edict to the king seems to have made Gongsun Chan very dissatisfied, and recently, Gongsun Chan has repeatedly challenged Liu Xuan, and wants to withdraw more than 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the Sword Pavilion. Of course, it is impossible for Gongsun Chan to come openly, after all, Gongsun Chan is not the only soldier in the Sword Pavilion.

It is worth mentioning that since Sun Ce entered the Sword Pavilion, all the soldiers and horses of the Sword Pavilion have been collected by Sun Ce, except for the 25,000 of Gongsun Zhan. In this way, Sun Ce can mobilize as many as 220,000 soldiers and horses!

It can be said that at this moment, with Sun Jian's prestige, Sun Ce, who has won military power, can send troops south at any time to occupy most of central Shu, and Liu Miao in Chengdu will not be able to stop Sun Ce at all. As for whether Sun Ce has the heart to go south, no one knows this.

Of course, the current situation in the Sword Pavilion is not stable, and there are still nearly 100,000 Tianci troops outside the gate, so Sun Ce will naturally not lead his troops to leave stupidly. As long as the Sword Pavilion is stabilized, then the situation in Shuzhong will be completely up to Sun Ce alone.

As for Sun Jian, when Sun Ce entered the Sword Pavilion, Sun Jian had already been protected by the large army and turned back to Jiangling. The reason why he is so anxious to go back to Jiangling is mainly because Sun Jian's intelligence department has sent back a news, that is, Sun Jian's young son Sun Quan has made some small moves recently, not only arranging his cronies to important positions many times, but even privately forming troops and horses, it seems that the situation in Jiangling is a bit bad.

In 195 years of China, after more than a year of recuperation, production in the Sili area had basically resumed, and the impact of the plague in Yanzhou and Yuzhou had been completely eliminated. In this way, the time for the Tianci army to move south has come, and in the inevitable situation, Xuchang Gaoshun mobilized 100,000 iron cavalry to launch a tentative attack on Runan. Under the sweep of 100,000 iron cavalry, the Cao army in Runan was powerless to resist, and in just half a month, it lost more than a dozen cities and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Cao Ying, who got the news, was not nervous because of the situation in the west, and responded as soon as possible, mobilizing 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Shouchun to march westward, stationed in the major counties of Runan, and making a stubborn appearance, so that the role of the cavalry troops of the Tianci Army was naturally much smaller.

In any case, the 100,000 Tianci army is just a prelude, indicating that the second phase of the southern expedition is about to begin, and in this second phase of the battle, how many princes will fall under the iron hooves of the Tianci army? No one knows, even Gao Shun, who is the commander of the Xuchang Front Army, is not clear.

In the 195th year of Huaxia, Liu Tai, who had been recuperating in Huacheng for more than a year in October, finally set off south to enter Qingzhou. To Qingzhou, Liu Tai is unfamiliar, but the prosperous scenery of Qingzhou, but Liu Tai is a little lingering, you know, Qingzhou is the hometown of Confucius, the cultural atmosphere is extremely strong, of course, those Confucian scholars are also extremely disgusted with the rule of northern Xinjiang.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, the status of Confucianism in China has been constantly rising, which has led to the fact that those masters of Confucianism consider themselves superior, and the fact is that Confucian children have received special treatment in many things. But the situation in Northern Xinjiang is different, and it is a fool's dream for Confucianism to want to get special treatment under the rule of Northern Xinjiang!

As a result, the children of Confucianism repeatedly criticized the policy of Northern Xinjiang, specifically looking for some loopholes in the laws of Northern Xinjiang, satirizing Liu Tai's methods of employing people and the once inhumane massacre, and so on. In this regard, Liu Tai is calm, because there will always be a period of relative peace before the storm, but after the peace period, the bloody rain will also come!

However, at present, Liu Tai is not in a hurry to deal with the problem of Confucianism, although most of the children of Confucianism are looking for trouble, but there are also some people who have real talents, Liu Tai does not want to completely push these Confucian students who are really talented and learned to the side of the princes, of course, if Liu Tai has a better excuse to clear Confucianism, Liu Tai will not be soft.

In the same month, the movement of hundreds of thousands of troops could not be concealed, and in addition to Liu Tai's entry into Linzi City, several regiments in northern Xinjiang also went south one after another, and two naval divisions were also stationed in Donglai Port, waiting for Liu Tai's dispatch at any time. In this way, the Tianci Army Corps stationed in Qingzhou has eight cavalry legions of 240,000 and two naval divisions of 60,000 respectively!

300,000 in total!

Of course, there are also a relatively large number of logistics troops, but the logistics troops in northern Xinjiang have never been classified as combat troops, so they are not considered regular troops, but it is worth mentioning that the number of this logistics force is very terrifying, and the rough statistics are nearly 1560,000!

In the 195th year of Huaxia, Yuan Shao attached great importance to the news of Qingzhou in November, so when Liu Tai entered Qingzhou and several legions went south, Yuan Shao could not sleep at night, his food was unsweet, and his spirit was a little trance every day. Yuan Shao did not expand the legion as wantonly as last time, because Yuan Shao knew very well that using those ragtag armies in front of Liu Tai not only insulted Liu Tai's prestige, but also kicked himself into the abyss, so Yuan Shao would not do this, and he would not dare to do it!

In this way, Yuan Shao can only confront Liu Tai head-on, how can the current soldiers and horses in Xuzhou be able to resist Liu Tai's 300,000 army? At that time, I'm afraid that as long as there is contact, the Yuan army will collapse, right? You must know that the battle of Linzi had a very great impact on the Yuan army, and the number of Yuan troops in Linzi City was as high as 500,000.

But even so, it can't withstand a few charges from the Tianci army, and now that the number of Yuan's army has shrunk to less than 200,000, how can it be Liu Tai's opponent? And surrender in battle, Yuan Shao will not do this! Therefore, Yuan Shao is very troubled, if he does not take the opportunity to withdraw from Xuzhou at this time, when the heaven-sent army goes south, Yuan Shao will not even have a chance to retreat!

When Yuan Shao was troubled, Cao Ying of Shouchun put forward an opinion, that is, to invite Yuan Shao to retreat to Shouchun and "help" Cao Ying to resist the heaven-sent army! That's a nice thing to say, but who doesn't know that Cao Ying's move was to make Yuan Shao give up the Xuzhou area? Isn't that exactly what it was like back then?

However, knowing this, Yuan Shao could not refuse Cao Shao's request at the first time, and entering Shouchun was indeed Yuan Shao's only way to retreat, and it was impossible for Yuan Jun to hold Xuzhou.

At the same time, those gate lords in Xuzhou did not hesitate as much as Yuan Shao, you know, after the Tianci army occupied Qingzhou, the gate lords in Qingzhou could carry out a major purge, and the gate valves in Xuzhou did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so the Xuzhou gate valve abandoned Yuan Shao for the first time, and the Ju clan retreated from Guangling port to Yangzhou.

Although it is obvious that the Xuzhou gate valve will not get any good treatment when he enters Yangzhou, it is better than being caught in prison by the Tianci army and eating in prison, right? As long as there is money and food, as long as there are enough domestic slaves, where is not happiness? There are a lot of gate valve families with this kind of thinking, which has led to the price of Xuzhou sea ships rising, and even some door valve families buy some sea ships from Donglai Port, of course, there are also leases, after all, not every family has so strong financial resources.

In this regard, not only Yuan Shao opened one eye and closed one eye, even Liu Tai, who hated the gate valve, did not see it. If these gate valves are less obstructed, then the new policy of Northern Xinjiang in Xuzhou is naturally unimpeded, Liu Tai does not care about the life and death of these gate valves, if the gate valve can go to the ends of the earth, it will never be seen by Liu Tai, and Liu Tai will naturally be more happy.

In Huaxia 195, after a long period of hesitation in November, and at the same time getting the news that the Qingzhou Tianci Army had entered Dongguan County, Yuan Shao could only grit his teeth and make a decision! The whole army retreated!

Nominally, of course, a strategic retreat.

Yuan Shao finally agreed to Cao Ying's plan, withdrew all the elite forces into Shouchun, and took away all the stocks of the major county and county treasury in Xuzhou, and even privately plundered the gate lord clan who did not have time to leave. In fact, if it weren't for the anxious retreat of the gate valve, Yuan Shao would not have been so embarrassed.

After all, as soon as the gate valve retreats, the military spirit will naturally be affected, and under the instability of the military spirit, even if Yuan Jun has a half-layer chance of winning, it will be infinitely reduced! The morale of the army is unstable, the people's heart is unstable, and Yuan Shao has no way out except to go to Shouchun to meet Cao Ying!
