It's July 204.

Sun Quan of Jiangdong saw that Liu Biao had lost 200,000 troops under Luoyang City, and immediately felt that the opportunity had come. Immediately ordered Zhou Yu to take command, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others coordinated, raised more than 100,000 troops, and attacked Jiangxia.

Liu Biao's elite soldiers were damaged, unable to resist, and his liver and gall were broken, and he hurriedly asked his ally Yuan Shao for help.

After all, Liu Biao's soldiers and horses were accompanied by Yuan Shao to play, and under the gaze of the whole world, Yuan Shao couldn't ignore it. Therefore, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Jiangdong.

Yuan Shao's envoy told Sun Quan: Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family and an uncle of the emperor, and it is a great rebellion for you to attack him. Now, we should all unite with the outside world to eliminate national thieves like Gao Yuan and Cao Cao. If you continue to attack Liu Biao, you will not be moral, then, as Yuan Shao, you have no choice but to send troops to Jiangdong.

Sun Quan secretly scolded Yuan Shao for being shameless, and said in his heart that when you beat Liu Bei, why didn't you say that you were also an imperial uncle. However, Yuan Shao had six states plus half of Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, while Sun Quan only had half of Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. The current Yuan Shao is like Cao Cao who went south in later generations. Therefore, as soon as the Jiangdong bigwigs heard that Yuan Shao had intervened, they persuaded Sun Quan to stop the army.

What Zhang Zhaoya, Yu Tuo, Lu Ji, are all the main and faction. This time it was not the surrender of Chibi, so even Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others could only agree to withdraw under the pressure of Yuan Shao.

Therefore suddenly the world was at peace, and there was no war on any way.

In July, Gao Yuan led a large army back to Bingzhou, and millions of soldiers and civilians along the way welcomed him.

When he arrived in Jinyang City, all the officials of the imperial court came to greet him, and Emperor Han Xian also came out. Up to now, Gao Yuan, the imperial court, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty have not had any contradictions.

The psychology of Baiguan and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty: They suffered from Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and even Yuan Shao, and they already knew that the princes outside the state did not listen to them. Instead, I think about them. And the state is small, and there is a state pastor to manage it. They point fingers, and they also add to the snake's feet.

Therefore, the imperial court just kept reminding Gao Yuan that he wanted to fight out, and he wanted to fight out. To fight out.

And Gao Yuan's side, since there is no contradiction, he has made do with Emperor Han Xian. As for playing out, Gao Yuan also wants to play out.

"Wait for the opportunity, wait for the opportunity, wait for the opportunity to ......." Gao Yuan said this to the hundred officials, and also said the same to Emperor Han Xian.

Emperor Han Xian, like the Song Dynasty and the last emperors of the Ming Dynasty, ran into the corner. It is supported by a capable minister like Gao Yuan. Therefore, Emperor Han Xian did not look for trouble, and spent all day in a small palace.

When Gao Yuan returned home, Mrs. Diao Chan and the five ladies were already waiting at the door.

Lu Muqi hugged Gao Yuan's eldest son Gao Yi, Cai Yan hugged his second son Gao Qian, and the two little guys couldn't speak, but they babbled and waved their pink arms. Greet yourself dad.

Like the three sisters of Cao Jie, there is too much gratitude. After all, if it weren't for Gao Yuan's shot, Cao Cao would definitely die for life.

A day later.

Although Gao Yuan really wants to accompany his wife and children, now is not the time to enjoy life. Although there are not many strong enemies outside, a behemoth Yuan Shao has brought too much pressure.

How to play and merge states?

This is a difficult problem that Gao Yuan and his subordinates must solve.

It is said that Gao Yuan came back from Luoyang. brought back 100,000 prisoners, and after going to the turnips, there was also a main force of 150,000.

This 150,000 army sounds like a lot, but if it is a tough battle, I am afraid it will not be enough. There is a Yecheng outside Huguan. Xiongcheng is not under Luoyang City. And the defeat of 500,000 Yuan Shao's coalition army under the city of Luoyang is a good lesson.

Although Gao Yuan didn't think that he would be like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao must have too many advantages in the garrison battle. Moreover, Yuan Shao has a huge territory and resource support. Therefore, if Gao Yuan sent troops to Yecheng, the difficulty of conquering it would be even more difficult than when the coalition army was under Luoyang City.

If you don't attack Yecheng, go around and fight other places. Then Yuan Shao can send troops from Yecheng at any time, not only can he cut off the high and distant grain routes, but also can rush to Huguan.

And what about the detour to the grasslands?

Thousands of miles into the grain will be consumed Gao Yuan, and Karasuma is angry with Yuan Shao in the same nose.

"It's impossible to detour through the grassland, only out of the pot and pass ......." Gao Yuan can only point out the direction, and he doesn't have a specific way for the time being.

However, looking at the appearance of Sima Yi, Xu Shu and others in the hall, it is obvious that these important ministers of his have no good way. The only constraint to this is that there are too few troops. If Gao Yuan can also have an army of 500,000, then there are too many ways to get out of the pot.

However, Gaoyuan was only one state, and in the beginning, there were only eight or nine hundred thousand people in the state. Gao Yuan worked hard to recruit people, and only then did he have a population of more than 2 million. And his troops, almost not recruited, were all taken prisoners, from a few thousand to the current 150,000 troops.

In fact, Gao Yuan didn't want to recruit troops like this, but the population base under his rule was not enough to recruit a large army, after all, it was necessary to ensure local production and construction. Fortunately, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao gave face and "sent" too many soldiers and military supplies.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Gao Yuan's own struggle and the efforts of his subordinates.

In the hall, Xu Chu saw that the lord frowned, and Weng said: "Don't worry, the lord was only a few thousand people back then, and he has reached the current army of more than 100,000. I believe that in a few years, there will be a few more battles. can fight from more than 100,000 people to more than 1 million people. ”

When everyone heard this, including Gao Yuan, they were all stunned, and then they laughed bitterly.

However, Xu Chu's words are not rough.

Sima Yi got up and said, "Lord, what General Xu said makes sense. He just didn't say it too clearly, now, Yuan Shao's power is too huge, and our army is still based on garrison. People like Yuan Shao are always thinking about the merger of the lord. He will definitely come to attack again, and when the time comes, weaken his strength as much as possible and increase his own strength. ”

Xu Shu followed and said: "No matter how powerful Yuan Shao is, he can't withstand a few big consumptions, and if he cuts me down, the opportunity will definitely appear." ”

At this time, Chen Lin said: "The people's hearts are on the side of the lord, and under the city of Luoyang, too many coalition soldiers took the initiative to surrender, which can be seen." I think, as General Xu Chu said. Sooner or later, one day, my lord will have millions of soldiers and go out of the pot pass. ”

Xu Chu grinned and didn't dare to laugh, and said: "That's it, Yuan Shao fights less and less, and the lord fights more and more." ”

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others also nodded, after all, Gao Yuan fought from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands, it is not fake, the facts are in front of them. They have to admire and respect the good governance that Gao Yuan used. won the hearts of the people, and only then did we have such a result.

Gao Yuan nodded silently, and felt that he should learn from Taizu, and at present, he should practice his internal skills in this state. Taizu practiced in northern Shaanxi for about ten years, and if you do the math, he has practiced for two or three years, and he will practice again.

Then practice!

So, Gao Yuan combined the experience of later generations and instructed him to go down and practice his internal skills. He instructed Sima Yi and others to run like a country in internal affairs and cultivate their own system in order to prepare for the future. He also instructed Zhao Yun and others to practice hard, sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime.

Everyone felt that the strategic decision of the lord was correct, and the future was full of hope, and they patted their chests one by one and promised to complete their tasks.

At this moment, Gao Ya walked into the conference hall and bowed: "Lord, there is a person named Chen Shaoyun outside, who said that he was from the Jizhou militia, and asked to see him." (To be continued......)
