Although the map function given by the system is extremely powerful and advanced, it still has a lot of limitations. The scope of its encompassing is only the territory under Li Zheng's complete rule.

This did not help much in terms of foreign warfare.

As Li Zheng took most of Beidi County and half of Anding County, the display range of the map also included this area.

In the southeast of Beidi County and Anding County, several densely populated county towns were still in the hands of Han Sui rebels.

However, Li Zheng did not plan to capture these counties immediately, which did not have much benefit to Li Zheng.

First, this area, separating Li Zheng's ruling area from the three auxiliaries of Chang'an, could keep Li Zheng out of the sight of the imperial court and avoid the danger of being directly controlled by the imperial court.

In contrast, this area is connected to Jincheng County, Hanyang County, and Longxi County in the south of Liangzhou, which are the main areas of Han Sui's rule, but on the map, the connection points are too weak, but it looks like an enclave. As long as Li Zheng is willing, he can send troops at any time and take it down. Even Han Sui won't resist much!

For Han Sui, this enclave is chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, but it can't be abandoned. If he takes the initiative to withdraw his troops, and Li Zheng is unwilling to occupy it, then it is equivalent to opening the second gate to Liangzhou and giving the Han Ting army another direction of attack!

This mainly depends on Han Sui's perception of Li Zheng.

If Han Sui saw Li Zheng's ambitions, he might take the initiative to withdraw from this area and hand over this problem to Li Zheng, but this was risky. If he thinks that Li Zheng is loyal to the Han family, then he must not withdraw his troops, otherwise he will expose his chest and abdomen, which is the way to death!

As for Li Zheng, in a short period of time, he will definitely not use troops in this area.

He had already planned, and when he was in charge of today's Yulong funeral and Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, it was the best opportunity to make trouble. At that time, Li Zheng did whatever he wanted, and Han Ting had no time to take care of it.

"A few months, just a few months!"

Li Zheng looked at the rudimentary map on the desk and sighed softly

February in the land of Liangzhou still looks very cold. Since the defeat of Gaoping, Li Zheng has been stationed here, confronting the Han Sui rebels in the southeast bird clan and the two cities of Chaona.

The number of rebels stationed in these two counties is not large, and each county town is only three or five thousand, which is not a threat to Li Zheng at all.

However, in the area of Shengtou Mountain in Longdi, behind these two county seats, tens of thousands of rebels are stationed.

Of course, in order to show his role, Li Zheng still dispatched more than 1,000 people from time to time to the two counties to provoke and make a show in accordance with Huangfu Song's idea.

As for the movements of the imperial army, Li Zheng was also very concerned.

Since the destruction of the kingdom, the imperial army has been stationed in Longguan for more than a month, without an inch. Not even a large-scale siege took place.

This made Li Zheng a little strange.

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case.

maintained vigilance against the battle situation in the southeast, and at the same time, Li Zheng also remotely controlled the battle situation in Wuwei.

A letter every day made Li Zheng know the war in Wuwei well.

Zhang Shan Nuluo and the others led more than 5,000 troops, and stayed on the bank of Shuize for only one day, and after receiving Li Zheng's instructions, the two immediately made a decision.

That night, he struck down the second time, cut the Hexi Corridor into two sections, and looked at Gu Zang. At the same time, he sent a guide to bring people and goods to Hutu Ze to find Lu Shuihu.

Prepare to hire Lu Shuihu, make Lu Shuihu to the east, and himself and others to the west, attack Guzang on both sides, and do their best in one battle!

However, there are thirty or forty thousand rebels in Guzang City, which is a large number. And because of the sudden fall of the time, Guzang's rebels were very vigilant, and the three generals under Han Sui, Cheng Yin, Candidate, and Li Kan did not dare to slack off at all, and the water of defense could not be spilled.

Even with Lu Shuiyi's help, he still didn't take Gu Zang for a month.

This also made Li Zheng realize his shortcomings in siege warfare - the lack of large-scale siege equipment. In the face of the first city of the Hexi Corridor, Guzang, a fortified city, without powerful siege equipment, no matter how outstanding the field battle is, it is difficult to make contributions.

Therefore, Li Zheng sent a message to Lingzhou on the one hand, asking Li Lao and others to start researching and casting siege equipment, and on the other hand, asking Zhang Shan and others to temporarily stop, besiege but not attack, and wait for the opportunity.

In mid-February, Li Zheng ushered in the edict of the Son of Heaven.

At the same time, I also understand the reason why there was no big war in these two months.

But it turned out that when the kingdom was destroyed and Huangfu Song entered Longguan, Han Sui actually softened!

Han Sui, who had hundreds of thousands of troops and was not yet at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield, actually sent someone to submit a surrender table to the imperial court, willing to submit to the court.

No wonder Huangfu Song is hesitant!

Li Zheng had a little guess about the deep-seated reasons for this, but Han Sui's actions and the court's reply also opened his eyes.

The imperial court accepted Han Sui's surrender, and named Han Sui as the Jincheng Taishou and the general of Zhengxi!

In this way, Han Sui became a member of the imperial court and a feudal official!

In comparison, Li Zheng's harvest is a little worse.

Beidi Taishou, General Zhenxi!

Respectfully sent off the imperial envoy, and in the study, Li Zheng and Xun Yu started an analysis on this.

"I didn't expect that a captain of my district who protected Qiang would turn around and become a county guard and a general in Zhenxi, this world is changing, it's really unpredictable."

Li Zheng couldn't help sighing.

Xun You smiled indifferently and said, "It's just expected." In the land of Xiliang, the imperial court has spent too much money and grain, and the smoke has been continuous in recent years, which has really made it difficult for the imperial court to continue. Han Sui saw this and surrendered. But for Han Sui, a thief, how could the imperial court rest assured? Therefore, there must be checks and balances, and there are two choices right now - Dong Zhuo and the lord! ”

"Dong Zhuowei is too big to lose, the court has long been suspicious, and he is trying to cut his military power, how can he be put in such a position? Isn't it the soil for him to develop and grow? ”

"So only the lord is the most suitable choice. In the eyes of the imperial court, first, the lord does not have too many troops under his command, and it will not be feared for the time being. Second, since his debut, the lord has been fighting against Han Sui, and his hatred is as deep as the sea. Third, there must be speakers for the lord in the DPRK, such as Fu Nanrong! Fourth, whether Han Sui's official position suppresses the lord, or the lord's official position suppresses Han Sui, contradictions will inevitably exist, and they will not live in peace. ”

"To sum up, the lord is naturally the best candidate to check and balance Han Sui."

After listening to Xun You's analysis, Li Zheng couldn't help but nod again and again.

"In this case, if I am the one to check and balance Han Sui, then Dong Zhuo will definitely be transferred to him?" Li Zheng thought for a while and said.

"That's true." Xun You smiled and replied: "When Your Majesty sent the angel before, I heard a piece of news - the Son of Heaven ordered Dong Zhuo to hand over the military power to Huangfu Yizhen and levy him as a Shaofu!" ”

Li Zheng didn't expect Xun You to be so meticulous that he even inquired about this.

"Shaofu, what kind of official position is this?" Li Zheng asked.

"One of the Nine Qings, in charge of the palace's royal clothes, treasures, treasures, salt and iron, coinage, and tax collection. It also counts as a high weight. However, for an ambitious person like Dong Zhuo, this position is like a failure. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

In these years, the Han family is declining, the world will be chaotic, and having military power in hand is the biggest reliance. Any other official position, even the Three Dukes, if it is premised on cutting off military power, smart people will never be willing.

Dong Zhuo must be a smart person.

"What does Gongda think, what will Dong Zhuo do?" Li Zheng asked with interest.

"Refusal, procrastination." Xun You said categorically: "If you can't do anything, you still have to hand over the military power." ”

Li Zheng slowly bowed his head.

Indeed, although Dong Zhuo is ambitious, he also has military power in his hands. But the whole Han Dynasty, it seems that now, is still quite stable. Maybe he will refuse, he will delay, but when he reaches a certain point, he will definitely not dare to oppose the imperial court.

However, Li Zheng knew that Dong Zhuo was lucky.

for the Son of Heaven is about to die.

As soon as the Son of Heaven dies, the opportunity comes!

Xun You didn't know this, and even Dong Zhuo himself would never have imagined that there would be such an opportunity, which would soon be in front of him.

Although Li Zheng understood it in his heart, he didn't say it explicitly, but he said: "So, now, what should I pay the most attention to?" ”

"Beware of Han Sui."

Xun You said firmly: "The lord has repeatedly broken Han Sui, beheaded his generals, and is in the same state, which can be described as incompatible." Now, Han Sui has no threat from the imperial court, how can he let go of the hidden danger of the lord and remain indifferent? ”

Li Zheng's face was stunned.

"Again" Xun Yu pondered for a moment before he said: "This time Han Sui surrendered, which is quite strange. You guessed that Dong Zhuo might be threading the needle in it. Earlier, it was said that Dong Zhuo would not let the lord grow his power, so "

After listening to this, Li Zheng's heart brightened and said, "It seems that there is still a battle!" ”

"The odds are not small." Xun You said with a smile.

"But it's ready, isn't it?"

"It's ready."

"Then let them come." Li Zheng laughed.
