An unsheathed sword is the greatest threat. When the sword of the hussars came out of its sheath and slashed towards Youzhou, all the heroes in the world breathed a sigh of relief and happily continued to make their calculations.

It is not uncommon for a wise man like Guo Jia to have a deep vision, but many more people can only choose to look at the present first, rather than thinking about what will happen in a few years or longer.

In Zhou Yu's words: When the Qingzhou army makes a big move, any inappropriate move may cause the other party to turn the spearhead, rather than engaging in those small actions, it is better to solve the opponent in front of you as soon as possible and enhance your own strength.

He is a person who does what he does, five days after saying this, he led 10,000 sailors and Huang Zu's main force of sailors to encounter in Peng Lize, Shi Qimou, set fire to Huang Zu's water camp, took the opportunity to cover up and kill it, beheaded Huang Zu's general Deng Long below more than 20,000 levels, more than 10,000 people who drowned in the water, more than 6,000 ships, and achieved an unprecedented victory.

Huang Zu and his eldest son Huang Jie barely escaped with their lives, and they didn't dare to stay in panic all the way, gathered the remnants of the army, retreated to Shaxian City, and did not dare to go out behind closed doors, giving up a large area of territory in eastern Jiangxia.

Sun Ce naturally accepted the whole situation honestly and unceremoniously, and prepared to pursue the victory.

After Liu Biao heard the news, he was greatly frightened, and he couldn't care about going to Nanyang to pick up cheap, so he hurriedly sent his son Liu Hu and Han Xi, a native of Nanyang, to lead 20,000 troops to urgently reinforce Jiangxia. He also passed on the annexation of Yuzhang and attached himself to Liu Xuan, the same sect of Jingzhou, and prepared the reason that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and he wanted to send troops to attack Sun Ce to alleviate the crisis in Jiangxia.

The battle was so fierce that the two sides of the battle naturally had no way to take care of the northern expedition that took place thousands of miles away, no matter what the future holds, at least for now, without the intervention of the hussars, the two sides just had a good time.

Another powerful force in the Jianghuai area, the Huainan Army, did not join the war, because the later general Yuan Shu was preparing for his life events. In order to fulfill this dream of several generations. Yuan Shu didn't even have time to pay attention to the Jiangxia war that was close at hand, so where would he pay attention to the news of the Qingzhou Army's northern expedition?

At most, it is just used as another layer of insurance, and the possibility of Qingzhou Army intervention has become even lower.

Among the princes who are not directly related, only Dong Zhuo's attitude is relatively special. At the same time that he got the news of the Northern Expedition, a letter from Wang Yu was also placed on his desk.

The other party's tough wording and non-dividing requirements made Dong Zhuo very unhappy, and what made him even more depressed was that no matter how unhappy he was, he could only agree.

Hebei's affairs. After all, it is too far away from him, and the role that a holy decree can play is only in name only, and will not have a decisive impact on the outcome of the war. Now that Guanzhong is under pressure both internally and externally, he really can't afford to provoke new enemies.

After Cao Cao entered Luoyang. The trade route from Qingzhou to Guanzhong was greatly disturbed, although Cao Cao did not block the river in order not to provoke the hostility of Qingzhou, but it was inevitable to set up cards along the way to guard the customs fee.

Qingzhou businessmen don't buy it much, they can run away, they can avoid it, but the obstacles are formed after all.

At present, the trade routes in Guanzhong mainly rely on the line of Hanoi and Hedong. The profits of this trade route were good, but it took too long and the risks were great, after the opening of the Jianghuai trade route. It has become less and less attractive, and it can only be maintained by relying on various preferential policies of the Qingzhou Department of Commerce.

Dong Zhuo himself also understood that Wang Yu maintained the trade route. is to use himself to contain Cao Cao. But this kind of thing cannot be avoided by understanding. You can't surrender to Cao Cao in order not to let Wang Yu get his wish, right?

It's the same now, the other party threatens himself with this trade route, and Dong Zhuo can only pinch his nose and admit that he is unlucky. Summoned Zhong Xuan, made him write it with a wave, and then took out the jade seal from his sleeve, covered it, and named Liu Yu as the great Sima, and summoned him to return to Beijing to report on his work.

After hearing the news, the only ones who really reacted directly and behaved were the senior cadres and Yuan Tan of Bingzhou. The life of the two of them in the past two years has not been ordinarily hard, and the barrenness and chaos in the state are still secondary, and the most fatal thing is the invasion of the Qingzhou army.

The name of Xu Shu, in today's Bingzhou, is more resounding than Wang Yu's name, and the people of Bingzhou believe that this name has the effect of stopping children's night crying and drinking away sneaky, and many people are pondering to make his portrait home, and wait until the New Year is closed to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new year, and hang it in the hall as a town house to keep safe.

I don't blame the people for being ignorant, if it weren't for Sirius descending to earth and the reincarnation of the god of war, how could they have won so many battles in less than two years? Obviously, every time he brought only a few hundred people, he was so stubborn that he couldn't do anything about it, and in the end he could only shrink in Huguan and didn't dare to come out?

The people's admiration for Xu Shu is the best portrayal of Gao Gan and Yuan Tan's hard work, and they have been tossed by Xu Shu in the past two years, which is enough to make those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.

Not to mention the counterattack on Wei County, it is fortunate to be able to hold Huguan and ensure that the party does not lose. Recalling the bitter hatred and determination for revenge when they fled from Jizhou, looking up to the future, both of them felt that there was darkness in front of them, and they really wanted to give up.

After being oppressed by Xu Shu for so long, of course the two of them thought about fighting back, but it was already very difficult to cross the Taihang Mountain, and what was even more desperate was the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Wei County!

The Yulin Army under the command of Yu Ban was once regarded as Wang Yu's personal guard troops, with brilliant achievements and excellent equipment, both in terms of number and individual combat strength, the Gao and Yuan Zhou armies were far inferior. Moreover, Guan Ning's reserve brigade is also stationed in Wei County, and the state army ran to Wei County is a counterattack? No, it's to send sheep into the tiger's mouth, right?

Therefore, the two of them can only endure it, and they have to endure it if they can't bear it!

Until 100 forbearance turns into gold, the opportunity to fight back finally comes!

Wang Yu's three-way army went north, leaving behind an empty rear, others didn't dare to provoke him, but Gao Gan and Yuan Tan dared!

The left and right sides have already formed a mortal enemy, if they don't take advantage of this best and last opportunity to take revenge, will they wait for the other party to settle down in the rear and fight over? Xu Shu is cunning and is like a fish in water in Taihang Mountain, but when he invades Wei County, can he continue to hide and hide?

The two of them put all their energy and reserves into the whole army battle, and only waited for Wang Yu's three-way army to completely leave the country, and then launched a fierce attack on Wei County!

Compared with the secret rejoicing of the Central Plains heroes and the determination of Yuan and Gao, the mood of those who really faced the Northern Expedition army was much more complicated.

After walking out of Taihang Mountain and stationed in the three counties in the west of Jizhou, Zhang Yan set the place of governance in Julu. Although the geographical location of Quliang and Handan is better, there are various considerations. Zhang Yan still subconsciously chose to stay away from the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. It's not that he was afraid of Wang Yu's raid, Zhang Yan just felt that if he was too close to the other party, something bad might happen.

Facts have proved that his concerns are very reasonable, and the scene that happened to Gongsun Jun and made Shan Jing depressed also happened to the Montenegrin Army.

At first, when both sides were working hard to build their territory, they were fine, and after a while, they would take a look. The gap between the two sides has become wide.

Although Zhang Yan also worked hard to implement benevolent governance, there were too few talents on his side, and even Tuntian in the usual sense was a little chaotic, let alone the development of industry and commerce.

And everything is in order here in Qingzhou. Guan Ning's main work in Yecheng is to carry out infrastructure construction, road construction, ditch digging, and construction of embankments, all kinds of construction are carried out in an orderly manner, and the results are fully displayed at the time of the autumn harvest.

The average yield per mu of Wei County is more than 30% higher than that of Guangping County, and the new property in the people's homes is new. It is nearly twice as high as Quang Binh! After the news reached Julu, the generals of the Montenegrin Army were dumbfounded, thinking that the two sides had a similar starting point. On his side, he concentrates on farming, and there is no shortage of good farmers in the army, even if it can't compare to the Qingzhou jurisdiction, the gap is only a millimeter.

Outcome. It's only been less than a year, and the two sides are so far apart!

Zhang Yan couldn't sit still. After thinking about it, he finally broke the barrier he had created, handed a note to the Qingzhou General's Mansion, and took a group of generals and colonels from Montenegro to Wei County to inspect it, wanting to see why the gap was so big.

The Montenegrin Army is far away from Gaotang, and it is just a rumor about the prosperity of Gaotang, and it is not taken seriously. Wei County is the most prosperous county in Jizhou, and it is also the second key development site in Qingzhou.

The Qingzhou fashion led by Wang Yu is actually very close to the Tang and Song dynasties, and people in this era can easily accept it and will not feel abrupt.

And the generals and colonels of the Montenegrin Army were originally from poor grassroots, and they didn't have a few good days after the incident, and their days in Montenegro were the most stable, but they were just nesting in the ravine to survive, where did they see any prosperous scenes?

Before, I was engaged in construction behind closed doors in the three western counties, and I felt that life was much better than in the mountains, but now when I look at it in Wei County, I am immediately dazzled and I don't know where I am.

Looking at the bright and diverse costumes of the pedestrians on the street, looking at the rows of shops on the street, the imposing residences and theaters, and the dazzling array of new commodities and new things, the Montenegrin generals were so aggrieved that they cried.

These people are also diligent and conscientious, and they have worked hard for a whole year, why is the gap still so big?

Doubling the wealth of the people? ! Just counting the surplus food and money at home, it may only be doubled, but considering what money can buy and what food can be exchanged, the gap is at least two or three times!

They are all rich places in Hebei, the hussar generals built for a year, and the local prosperity is like the prosperity of the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors......

Is this what Yan Shuai said about inheriting the legacy of the great sage and good teacher?

So, in the second year, that is, the year when Qingzhou changed to the Yuan Dynasty, the contact between the Montenegrin Army and Qingzhou became frequent.

At first, it was just some low-level generals who ran to Wei County in twos and threes, and later even big leaders like Wang Dang and Sun Qing joined the ranks, and people who went south on vacation were in groups, and they couldn't stop them. Especially after Bai Bo settled down in Wei County, Wang Dang and others had a very good reason to learn from the Yellow Turban.

In this regard, Zhang Yan also deliberately obstructed and was unable to implement it, in fact, even he himself was shaken.

The decision to draw a line with Wang Yu was indeed not mixed with any selfishness. Zhang Yan just felt that Wang Yu was left and right between the clan and the grassroots, and the Montenegrin Army made a lot of efforts in the Hebei War, and had every opportunity to develop independently and completely realize the ideal of the great sage and good teacher back then.

As a result, it has been proved that determination alone is not enough, and we must also pay attention to methods in doing things, otherwise the gap between the two sides cannot be so big.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, he has been thinking about it, his mood is wavering, and he feels that he should stick to his original intention to the end, and at the same time he feels that it is not a bad thing to get closer to Qingzhou.

It wasn't until the news of the Northern Expedition came out and Wang Yu's handwritten letter was placed on his desk that Zhang Yan realized that the choice was imminent.

He summoned all the leaders and showed Wang Yu's proposal to everyone, and there was only one content on the letter: borrowing!
