443, five years later

At the end of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao and Yuan Shang attacked each other and fought a large-scale battle in Chang'an City, known as the Battle of Yuan Cao.

And about the battle that shocked the world, five years have passed.

Five years is enough to change a lot of things, five years can make many people live better, and more people can die.

Chang'an City.

The bloody past, the people who have been living in poverty for several years, have undergone drastic changes with the entry of the tiger and wolf army into the main Guanzhong, and the Guanzhong counties, which were originally fearful, have settled down.

The Son of Heaven is still the Son of Heaven, and the world still belongs to the Han family, but in Liu Han's world, there is one more Marquis Yuan Shang, who is known as the king of the emperors.

The former Dong Zhuo Xiangguo Mansion has changed the court, the cars and horses outside the door are like dragons, like a prosperous scene, Chang'an City is no longer a few years ago, with the strong policy of Yuan Shang attracted, tens of thousands of poor vagrants have poured into Guanzhong, and Chang'an as the capital, and is the most critical city in Guanzhong, naturally it is full of people, as Yuan Shang's general's mansion, this successive Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shang two powerful ministers of the Gaomen Mansion is still standing.

Standing outside the door was not the usual gatehouse of ordinary eunuchs, but a team of soldiers in armor with vigilant faces, even if they did not reveal a trace of murderous intent, they could still make passers-by feel a kind of cold that can only be felt in the cold winter.

The General's Mansion is also the Qianhou Mansion, Yuan Shang's ambition is not concealed at all, he does not need to hide it at all, if it is Liu Bei, maybe he will pretend to do another set to show his respect for the imperial power. But Yuan Shang didn't. Within a month of taking Chang'an City. Several princes used troops against Chang'an City, and in the end, they were disabled by Yuan Shang one by one, with the assistance of Ma Teng and Lu Bu, Yuan Shang's rise was unstoppable, even if Cao Cao, who was only one step away from being able to enter Chang'an, could only cry out in vain.

The heaviest thing is the fist, about this, Yuan Shang used a bloody lesson to teach Yuan Shu Liu Bei and other princes this truth.

Cao Cao fled back to Yanzhou to lick his wounds. Liu Bei is generally not much better, as for Liu Biao, he is already old and not worth mentioning, and the only one who is qualified to threaten Yuan Shang is Sun Ce, who has already revived the Sun family's momentum.

As recorded in history, Sun Ce, who had the help of Zhou Yu, soon conquered Jiangdong, not only daring to confront the old benefactor Yuan Shu head-on, but also extending his tentacles to Jiaozhou, as if he had already had a scene of great power. Xu was worried that Yuan Shang would gain power and go south to Jiangdong, so Sun Ce, who had been fighting with Yuan Shu for Yangzhou, was advised by Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other civil and military forces. It was a battle with Yuan Shang that was not much smaller than a small one, but there was no one who lost or won, and its purpose was just to warn each other, Sun Ce sat in Jiangdong, and its momentum has been achieved, even if Yuan Shang has the intention to strangle it in the cradle, but also because the two are too far apart, and there is also the Yangtze River barrier, so the whip is beyond reach, that battle, there is no fire at all, and even the generals and soldiers and horses sent by both sides are not the top, and at present, the princes are sweeping the sand, and in the end they can survive, and there are no more, Even Yuan Tan has been forced to the point of madness by Yuan Shang step by step, and the four countries and five counties of Jizhou are almost occupied by Yuan Shang, and the current domain owned by Yuan Shang is already the strongest prince in Hebei with only one Qingzhou away.

Yuan Shang's general's mansion was transferred from Linrong City to Chang'an City, which is inevitable, as an international metropolis, Chang'an is not comparable to Linrong City in any aspect, and Chang'an is a starting point for Yuan Shang, a springboard, according to Chang'an, Yuan Shang's hegemony has become, as long as there is a sense of crisis The princes will be restless, the key is that even if they are restless, it is still difficult to pose much threat to Yuan Shang militarily, Relying only on some small means to attack Yuan Shang, it seems to be a small fight, harmless, so after a few years, Guanzhong under the construction of Yuan Shang, almost like an iron bucket, several times tried to break through Yuan Shang's blockade Yuan Tan to beat back, that is, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao reflect each other, still can not succeed, Yuan Shang's troops in Guanzhong have at least 100,000, five years, the tiger and wolf army does not increase but decreases, from the middle of the first year of Xingping, the army expanded to nearly 200,000, during these five years, but still maintain a establishment of 200,000, That's a slow pace for a thriving force.

However, although the pace of army expansion is very slow, it also ensures the quality of the tiger and wolf army, which is what Yuan Shang hopes, an army will go through a lot of accumulation, and the process will be reduced because of the large number of people and dragons mixed with a large number of improvements, this is not what Yuan Shang and even Ju Yi, Xu Huang, Zhang He and others want to see, so in the past five years, the entire tiger and wolf army no longer frequently uses troops abroad, and under the advice of Pang Tong, the focus is on internal affairs, especially the Guanzhong controlled by Yuan Shang. The increase in the control of the two states of Youhe happened to give Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and others a chance to breathe.

Although the place where Yuan Shang lives is the old Xiangguo Mansion, there is no longer a plaque of Xiangguo Mansion, he was born in the army, and he is accustomed to the name of the General's Mansion, so Yuan Shang, who has been promoted to the general, still hangs the plaque of the General's Mansion for this high-gate mansion, the word is a good word, and it is from everyone's hands at a glance, which is the wind and bones are transcendent, and it is Tian Feng's handwriting.

At this time, Tian Feng, who was the first strategist under Yuan Shang, was leading a young man to the General's Mansion, Tian Feng's residence was only a few steps away from the General's Mansion, in order to facilitate Yuan Shang's summoning at any time, many strategists and generals arranged their residences not far from the General's Mansion.

Tian Feng is not young, his temples are white, his beard is frosty, he has assisted Yuan Shang for nearly ten years, it can be said that he is dedicated, as a veteran of the two dynasties, Tian Feng is undoubtedly the most selfless, until now, even if he has become the first official under Yuan Shang, but he rarely finds Yuan Shang for his own personal affairs, with Yuan Shang's attention to Tian Feng, it is not difficult to send a fat difference to let Tian Feng Meng Yin descendants, but he has not done this, Tian Feng, who is also the head of the general's mansion, can be described as a high authority, but he still wears cloth clothes and sleeps and eats thrift, Even Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu and others had heard of it, and they were greatly admired in their hearts.

Tian Feng rarely brought people to visit Yuan Shang, and every day when he went to the General's Mansion, he also sat in Cao, the office of his long history, which was busy all day, and it was extremely rare to take a young man to the General's Mansion in such a hurry.

The armor-clad elites outside the mansion all know Tian Feng, this strategist with a very high status, has a great reputation in the tiger and wolf army, no one's face is sold, and the name of righteousness is widely spread, so these more than a dozen armor-clad soldiers who protect the mansion saw Tian Feng coming, and did not step forward to intercept him, and symbolically glanced at the young man behind Tian Feng and then let him go.

Tian Feng walked in naturally, as the long history of the General's Mansion, his status is equivalent to the Secretary-General of the Chief, except for Yuan Shang's family, it can be said that he is above one person and below everyone, and it is not difficult to enter and exit the General's Mansion.

Tian Feng glanced at the young man who was two or three steps slower than him, and said with a rare smile: "Let's go, go down and enter the mansion." ”

The young man glanced at the plaque of the General's Mansion, and his heart was slightly cold, what could make him bold and show such emotions was not the four big characters of the Great General's Mansion full of strength, but the person who lived in it, who was not a few years older than him, but had become the most powerful young man in the world.

Tian Feng walked in front, and the young man precipitated his thoughts into his body, followed Tian Feng's footsteps, straightened his robe, and followed.

As soon as Tian Feng entered the house, he took the young man to the inside quite familiarly and walked straight over, along the way, he met a lot of hurried officials and generals, all nodded to Tian Feng, and his respect can be seen from his eyes, the young man saw the two eyes behind him, and he made everyone he met fall in love with a strategist, Tian Feng's personality charm can be seen one or two.

Tian Feng, who was walking in front, didn't know what the young man behind Lu Dao was thinking at the moment, even if he knew Lu Dao, he would laugh it off, the young man saw the respect of others for Tian Feng, but he didn't see the hostility of others to Tian Feng, any dynasty, at any time, contradictions are inevitable, the more Yuan Shang values Tian Feng, the more people are dissatisfied with Tian Feng, this is the source of the contradiction, even Tian Feng, he dare not guarantee that in this group of people who seem to respect him very much, Will there be one or two people who will wait all day and all night for him to fall and take his place?

These, Tian Feng naturally will not say to outsiders, this young man is just starting out, even if he has great insights, in the battle between the court and the court, after all, he is a chick, without a few years of experience, how can he see the danger. (To be continued......)
