In the 192nd year of China, on September 17, Liu Tai, the Northern Emperor, announced that the Northern Emperor would hold a ceremony to enthrone the Northern Emperor in mid-October, asking all the princes of the world to come to watch the ceremony, and ordered the kings of the Western Regions who were rushing to Huacheng to come to Luoyang. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It is reported that the scale of the hall is huge, and it has cost countless money and grain in northern Xinjiang, and it seems that Liu Tai has really begun to prepare for the prelude to becoming the emperor.

At the same time, the Central Plains Campaign came to an end.

In this battle, neither Cao Ying nor Yuan Shao had any major losses, and it seemed that both sides were unwilling to exert their full strength under the pressure of Liu Tai. If the two sides are really dead at this moment, then it is conceivable that when there is victory or defeat, it will be the time when the Tianci army sweeps through the Central Plains.

In 192 years of Huaxia, on September 18, Sun Jian successfully occupied the entire territory of Jiaozhou, and the scholars had no choice but to surrender the city under the oppression of Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops. Sun Jian, who successfully occupied Jiaozhou, became the largest prince in southern Xinjiang. And Sun Jian, who occupied Jiaozhou, left his eldest son Sun Ce in Jiaozhou, and then led his troops back to Nanjun.

It is reported that Sun Jian heard that Yuan Shu was besieged by Lu Bu, and intended to go north to relieve the siege for Yuan Shu, but because Yuan Shu had offended Sun Jian earlier, Sun Jian hesitated.

In the 192nd year of China, the situation in the Western Regions changed greatly on September 20.

The resting army besieging Shule was in the hands of Zhao Yun.

It is rumored that the biggest hero of Zhao Yun's defeat of Shule is still Mr. Jia. In order to come up with a strategy to break the enemy, Mr. Jia went deep into the western region of the Western Regions occupied by Anxi, and found out the weakness of the heavy cavalry from the Anxibing soldiers stationed in various countries!

It turns out that the most important factor in the invincibility of the heavy cavalry is because of the armor on the heavy cavalry. This turned out to be not iron, but rattan armor! However, because the appearance of the rattan armor has been deliberately dyed, it can't be distinguished.

In order to break the enemy, Mr. Jia asked the Tianci Army to find countless cultivating cattle, and it took nearly a month to finally successfully test the fire ox array. Under the impact of the fire bull array, the resting heavy cavalry that had suppressed the Tianci army was completely wiped out.

But intriguingly, where did the resting rattan armor come from?

You know, the rattan armor is not famous at all in this era.

How is it possible for anyone to find out how to make rattan armor and make it in large quantities?

Even if it can be manufactured on a large scale, but the abundant production area of rattan armor can be in the Nanban region, is it possible that someone has been to Nanban, and bypassed the eyes of the Tianci army, and purchased the rattan armor of Nanban on a large scale?

This is no less than a fantasy.

After the threat of heavy cavalry is lifted, does the Heaven-Sent Army still need to be patient?

As a general, Zhao Yun personally led three legions, and the 90,000 Tianci army pursued the rest army, and the ghost who was beaten by the white pig cried wolf. If it weren't for the fact that the king who didn't know whether it was the emperor or the empress was heavily guarded and withdrew from the battlefield in advance, then the results of this battle would have been even greater.

Huaxia 192, early October.

The last defeated army fled the Western Regions, and the war in the Western Regions ended completely. What really bothers Zhao Yun now should be how to deal with the chaos in the Western Regions and bring the once prosperous Western Regions back to normal.

Due to Liu Tai's summons, all the royal families in the Western Regions were forcibly sent away, and now the Western Regions can be said to be completely in charge of Zhao Yun alone. Zhao Yun is a soft-hearted person, he can't stand the current situation in the Western Regions, and after asking for Liu Tai's permission, Zhao Yun ordered to open a warehouse and release grain to save the people of all countries from fire and water.

Of course, Zhao Yun would not ignore Liu Tai's will, sent legions to garrison the countries of the Western Regions, required the Hu people of the Western Regions to learn Chinese, wear Hanfu, forcibly disarm the countries of the Western Regions, began to abolish the suitability of each country, and began to prepare to welcome the Han people who moved westward from all over the country.

As early as when the Western Regions were changed to Xizhou, Liu Tai asked poor people from all over the country to go to the Western Regions to open up wasteland. In the early years, the reclamation of Longzhou and Mengzhou brought great benefits to the people, and now the Western Regions is the most important turning point of the Silk Road, and the benefits will naturally be more, how can the people not be willing to migrate?

It's just that migration is not an easy task. All aspects must be prepared in advance, especially the water and soil reasons. As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil raises the other side. Not to mention the Western Regions, the Han people in the south will have a period of discomfort when they go to live in the north, and they will be contaminated with various diseases in serious cases.

Although the Western Regions is a good place to make money, the living environment is extremely bad, there are winds and sand everywhere, countless ancient countries have been swallowed by the wind and sand, and the Han people, who are accustomed to the beautiful mountains and rivers, can they adapt to this kind of life? Liu Tai was not sure, and Zhao Yun, who was in the Western Regions and saw the harsh environment with his own eyes, was also unsure.

However, the general trend is that if you want to completely occupy Xiling, then the people of the Han family must take root in the Western Regions and merge with the Hu people living in the Western Regions. This is assimilation! Assimilating the Hu people into the Han people, of course, this is difficult to show effect in a short period of time, and it will take at least a hundred years to completely change the concept of the Hu people.

Huaxia 192, mid-October.

Liu Tai's edict was passed to the princes, but there were very few princes who responded to the edict, and they all had scruples about going to Luoyang. However, the princes did not dare to do things, and sent their heirs or relatives to Luoyang to worship one by one, after all, Liu Tai is too powerful at the moment, if Liu Tai is angered, when Liu Tai dominates the world in the future, will these princes still have a good time?

The ceremony of ascending to the emperor is extremely huge, and countless admiring men and scholars will block the streets of Luoyang, and the festive scene makes Luoyang, which has been in twilight for a long time, glow with strong vitality again. Regardless of whether Liu Tai is the capital of Luoyang or not, Luoyang's position in the hearts of the Han people can never be changed, as long as Luoyang breaks free from the quagmire of war, the speed of recovery can definitely exceed that of all cities in the world.

On that day, Liu Tai was the emperor, and he was only half a step away from the supreme Ninety-Five Throne. Everyone believes that as long as Liu Tai dies, then the moment when Liu Tai will be proclaimed emperor will come.

It is worth mentioning that many of the envoys sent by the princes were directly left in Luoyang by Liu Tai, such as Cao Zhi, the son of Cao Ying, Yuan Xi, the son of Yuan Shao, Sun Quan, the son of Sun Jian, and so on. Moreover, Liu Tai also appointed these people as official officials of the imperial court. In the eyes of others, this should be regarded as house arrest in disguise.

In the 192nd year of Huaxia, at the end of October, a secret letter from the Western Regions was sent to the Deyang Palace.

The signature of MeSign is Zhao Yun, and the content of this letter is also very simple.

It was confirmed that Mr. Jia in the Western Regions was Jia Xu Jia Wenhe !!

When he saw this letter, Liu Tai still didn't believe it, but after repeated confirmation, Liu Tai was petrified on the spot. Jia Xu, who has been looking for more than ten years, actually played for the Tianci Army a few years ago, which made Liu Tai feel a little toyed with.

But in this way, who is Mr. Jia of Lianghuai? Could it be that because of the appearance of Liu Tai, there are two Jia Xu in this world? Two unpredictable wise men???

Huaxia 192, early November.

Liu Tai solemnly ordered Jia Xu to come to Luoyang, and sent three top fighters of the Youlong Group and one hundred Jinyi guards to the Western Regions to deliver the edict and welcome Jia Xu's arrival. It can be seen from this point that Liu Tai attaches great importance to Jia Xu.

At the same time, Liu Tai issued an order to summon Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xun Yu, Chen Gong and other officials who were serving outside Luoyang to come to Luoyang. He also ordered to dispatch more than 10 corps in the north to the south and stationed at the edge of the Yellow River in Jizhou, and appointed Gao Shun, the secretary of the military department, to Yecheng to supervise the major armies.

At the beginning of the clouds, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!

Almost all the princes of the world have been touched by these wills!

Whether Jia Xu goes to Luoyang or not, the princes can't care about it, and they are not in the mood to care.

But Liu Tai summoned the most important think tank in northern Xinjiang to Luoyang, which made people uneasy.

On top of that, more than a dozen legions were stationed along the Yellow River in the south, which made the princes even more restless. It's just that no fool knows that Liu Tai can't wait for the result of the war in the southwest, and wants to go south to annex the entire Central Plains and even completely dominate the world!!

Huaxia 192, mid-November.

Yuan Shao dispatched 100,000 troops to garrison Linzi, intending to use the Yellow River as a line of defense to block the southward movement of the Tianci army.

At noon on the same day, Yuan Shao dispatched various regiments stationed in Xuzhou to the north to Linzi. An army of 100,000 against several legions of the Tianci Army, Yuan Shao had no confidence, even if it was 200,000, Yuan Shao did not have any sense of security.

Now Xuzhou is the center of competition between Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, at this moment Yuan Shao will transfer the army to the north, obviously has given up the intention of competing with Cao Ying, in Yuan Shao's view, if you can't stop the footsteps of the Tianci army to the south, then even if there is Xuzhou, what can you do?

However, Cao Ying is not an unreasonable person, and he knows that he must not hold Yuan Shao back at the moment. And most importantly, the Yanzhou region occupied by Cao Yingxin was on the south bank of the Yellow River and could be attacked by the Tianci army at any time.

In the year 192 of China, November 20.

For some reason, Cao Ying, who had not had much time to occupy the Yanzhou region, suddenly ordered Xiahoudun to lead his troops to retreat and abandon such an important strategic point in Yanzhou. Could it be that Cao Ying doesn't plan to resist? Giving up such an important geographical location as Yanzhou, Yuzhou and the Lianghuai region are even more unsuitable for battlefields, right?

Although Yanzhou is uninhabited for hundreds of miles at the moment, after all, it is the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, as long as there is enough time, it will not take long to restore the former prosperity.

Huaxia 192, November 28.

After getting Cao Ying's plan to give up the Yanzhou area, Liu Tai, who was in Luoyang, did not hesitate, and immediately sent the general Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops from the Tiger Prison Pass to occupy the Yanzhou area. Others dare not occupy Yanzhou, but it is nothing to Liu Tai.

Liu Tai, who was in Luoyang, saw that the most important reason why Cao Ying retreated was because he did not have the confidence to resist the southward movement of the Tianci army. That being the case, why don't you gather strength and compete with Liu Tai at one time?

Cao Ying is a person who likes to gamble.

Gamble on your life, gamble on luck.

Cao Ying understood that if he fought a protracted war, the two Huai would not be the opponents of Liu Tai, who owned half of the country and had more than one million soldiers under his command. And it is impossible to defeat the Tianci Army in a short period of time with the combat power of the two Huai, if you can maintain the strength of the Tianci Army when the edge of the Tianci Army is at its peak, and then unite the princes of all departments to share the pressure of the Tianci Army, wouldn't it be better?

And most importantly, Cao Ying has not yet come up with a good way out! Sun Jian chose Jiaozhou, and Liu Bei chose Yizhou.

Cao Ying, where should I go?

The land of Kyushu will fall into the hands of Liu Tai sooner or later.

If you want to turn the tables, the only possibility is to leave Kyushu, avoid Liu Tai's iron hooves, find a place to shelter, and then compete with the Tianci army in the future. But the problem is that the Lianghuai region limited the pace of Cao Ying's retreat. If he retreats, he can only become a vassal of Liu Bei or Sun Jian.

How can a generation of heroes Cao Ying be willing to be a vassal?

Huaxia 192, early December.

Liu Tai ordered the veteran Yan Liang to lead 30,000 troops into the northern area of Yuzhou, and if necessary, Yan Liang could choose whether to go south or not. At the same time, in order to avoid a food dilemma on the front line, Liu Tai issued an order to allocate grain stored in the major granaries in northern Xinjiang for emergencies.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Tai asked the generals of all ministries to pay attention to the precautions of the granary, and they must not let the granary be attacked by anyone. Liu Tai, who knew the reason why Cao Ying's many battles were ultimately victorious, did not want to see the Tianci army repeat the mistakes of the past.

Cao Ying, who was attacked on both sides, was naturally uncomfortable. The Yuzhou area is difficult for Cao Ying to give up, after all, the production of Yuzhou has recovered a lot in recent years, if it is given up like this, then it will form a terrifying blow to Cao Ying's forces.

Cao Ying can't help but fight, but he can fight

What does Cao Ying do to fill the bottomless pit of the heavenly army's iron cavalry?

There aren't many cavalry troops in Lianghuai.

Of course, sometimes even those who are as ruthless as Cao Ying have no choice.

If Yuzhou is abandoned, Cao Ying can't afford to lose, then, in desperation, Cao Ying can only face the battle, even if he loses, at least he will be defeated, right? And Cao Ying's surname, even if he sends troops, it's just to deal with it.

In any case, Yuzhou and Yanzhou can't be abandoned so easily.

In 192 of Huaxia, on the eighth day of December, Cao Ying sent Xiahoudun, who had just withdrawn from Yanzhou, to lead 30,000 troops to Yingchuan. However, Cao Ying did not give a death order to let Xiahoudun defend to the death, and when necessary, Xiahoudun could choose to retreat with his surname.

It is worth mentioning that in the same day, Cao Ying sent people to secretly send the children of the family to Jiangxia County on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Although Jiangxia County's defense ability is not satisfactory. But there's the Yangtze River in front of you, isn't it? Even if Liu Tai wants to dominate the world as soon as possible, no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to defeat all the banks of the Yangtze River at one time.

Huaxia 192, mid-December.

Guan Yu successfully occupied the ungarrisoned county in Yanzhou after Cao Ying's evacuation.

However, it makes no difference whether these places are actually occupied or not.

Years of war have left Yanzhou almost unpopulated.

It's a huge town, and there are few people in sight.

It often happens that people change their children and eat, and Yanzhou, which was once prosperous and rich, has now become a hell on earth.

No wonder Cao Ying was willing to give up Yanzhou.

It's really not worth wasting troops to garrison Yanzhou.
