Liu He sat on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and when he bought people's hearts and strengthened his team in Luoyang City, the surrounding forces were not idle. The reason why everyone didn't trouble Liu He was because they were all too busy to take care of it for a while.

First, the general Yuan Shu sent his general Sun Jian, who led 30,000 soldiers and horses to occupy Yingchuan, and then marched into Yanzhou Chenliu. Then, Cao Cao dispatched his generals Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to meet Sun Jian in the Yongqiu area.

Yongqiu is just east of Henan Yin, only eighty miles away from Kaifeng, when Sun Jian and Xiahoudun they fought, Henan Yin Zhujun let Kaifeng County Commander take the people in the county to move to Zhongmu County, so as not to be accidentally injured by the two sides of the fierce battle.

Zhu Jun's order was naturally instructed by Liu He. Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, Liu He doesn't want to help now, and he is even more reluctant to get involved in their fight, so he shows an attitude of "you fight, I'll find the bench", so that the warring parties don't have to worry about themselves, and can "have fun" to fight to the death.

Just when Sun Jian and Xiahoudun were fighting fiercely in the Yongqiu area, Yuan Shao, Yecheng, who had been silent for most of the year, finally made a move, and this time the action was particularly big.

In June last year, Yuan Shao led the army from Yecheng to the north to attack Gaoyi, and it was about to be completed, but the Montenegrin army suddenly came from the west, disrupting Yuan Shao's offensive deployment, so that Han Fu waited for reinforcements from Youzhou, and then the Montenegrin army secretly contacted Tai Shici and seized Yuan Shao's logistics grain and grass.

Yuan Shao, who returned in vain, summed up the lesson after returning to Yecheng, and came to the conclusion that he wanted to occupy Jizhou and pacify Montenegro first, so Yuan Shao secretly accumulated strength, trained soldiers, and set his sights on the Montenegrin army.

In the summer of the fourth year of the first peace, the head of the Black Mountain Army Branch, Yu Poison, united with Bai Huan, Zhenggu and other departments. Taking advantage of Cao Cao's main force to Yongqiu, he suddenly poured into the territory of Yanzhou East County from Muye to Chaoge and launched an attack on Cao Cao's old nest East County. Cao Ren, the general who stayed in Dongjun, immediately led his army to counterattack and repelled the offensive of the Montenegrin army, forcing Jiang Poison, Bai Huan and Zheng Gu and others out of Dongjun.

After the defeat in the attack on Dongjun, Bai Huan led the remnants of his troops to break through to the south and took refuge with Sun Jian near Yongqiu. After the defeat of Yu Poison and Zheng Gu in Dongjun, they moved into Wei County, which was adjacent to Dongjun, that is, the territory controlled by Yuan Shao, and then made contact with some of Yuan Shao's newly recruited troops. A mutiny was triggered. The rebels and tens of thousands of people of the Montenegrin army united and slaughtered Yuan Shao's old nest Yecheng with great momentum, but they were defeated by Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi leading the camp and scattered.

He led the remnants of 2,000 of his subordinates to flee to Hanoi County and took refuge with Zhang Yang. After the defeat of the poisonous army, he retreated to Lugut Mountain near Chao Ge in Hanoi.

Yuan Shao, who had been prepared for a long time, found a reason to take action against the Montenegrin army this time, so he transferred back 30,000 soldiers and horses from the direction of Bingzhou, led by the general Yan Liang himself. Cooperate with the Koji Yi in the direction of Jizhou and march towards Chaoge together.

Yuan Shaojun besieged the Poison Department in the Lugu Mountain, and after five consecutive days of fierce fighting, Yan Liang's array was beheaded by the poison. More than 10,000 members of the Montenegrin army were killed. After solving the poison, Yuan Shao ordered Lu Yi and Yan Liang to march north along the mountain, and along the way, they broke the Black Mountain Army's Zuo Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Yigen and other departments, and then beheaded more than 30,000 Black Mountain Army.

Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin army, saw that the situation was critical. So he personally led tens of thousands of elites under his command to fight with Yuan Shaojun in Xishan, and the two armies fought fiercely for more than ten days. There were many dead and wounded on both sides, and the soldiers were exhausted. So they stopped the battle and retreated with their own troops.

After this battle, the strength of the Montenegrin army was greatly damaged, and the road from Yecheng to Bingzhou and Hanoi was completely cleared by Yuan Shao, and the remnants of the Montenegrin army could only hide in the Taihang Mountain to recuperate, and could no longer compete with Yuan Shao for the time being.

Just when Yuan Shao led his army to storm the Montenegrin army, Cao Cao mobilized Cao Renbu, who was stationed in Dongjun, to Yongqiu to help in the battle. Sun Jian faced the three generals Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and Cao Ren, and finally had no power to compete with them, so he had to fight and retreat, preparing to join Nanyang Yuan Shu.

However, everyone is not stupid, Cao Cao had already discovered that the Black Mountain Army attacking Dongjun was instructed by Yuan Shu, otherwise why would Bai Huanbu go south and go straight to Sun Jian's station when he broke through? In order to punish Yuan Shu for this insidious practice, Cao Cao sent people to get in touch with Liu Biao in the direction of Xiangyang, and asked Liu Biao to send troops to cut off Yuan Shu's grain route, and the two families worked together to drive Yuan Shu out of Nanyang.

Therefore, when Sun Jian was about to retreat to Nanyang, Liu Biao had already sent his general Huang Zu to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to approach Wancheng.

Yuan Shu sent his subordinate Zhang Xun to fight Huang Zu in Xinye, but Huang Zu rushed out in front of Huang Zu's army with a general named Huang Zhong, and Zhang Xun had no one to stop him, so he retreated in defeat.

At this time, there were Danshui rebellious peasant armies in the northwest of Nanyang, Liu Biao in the south, Liu He in the north, and Cao Cao in the east.

Sun Jian received an appointment from the imperial court on the way to the south, but he was appointed to go to Changsha to serve as the Taishou, at this time Yuan Shu was too busy to take care of himself, Sun Jian selected thousands of elite soldiers who were willing to follow him to the south, disbanded the remaining troops in situ, and took advantage of Huang Zu's pursuit of Yuan Shu, waiting for an opportunity to break through from the direction of Jiangxia, and led the army into the sparsely populated Changsha County.

After Yuan Shu withdrew his troops to the Huaishui Valley, he collected the troops that were disbanded by Sun Jian, and then let Ji Ling lead the attack on Shouchun, expelled Chen Yu, the assassin of Yangzhou, and claimed to be the assassin of Yangzhou, and led the Xuzhou pastor, so he occupied the Huainan area.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is not dead, of course he can't agree to Yuan Shu's practice of taking over Xuzhou Mu without being appointed by the imperial court, but he is also in trouble now, and he has no time to take care of Yuan Shu, who stole Huainan.

It turned out that when Yuan Shu was retreating in the direction of Huainan, there was a serious rebellion in Xiapi, Xuzhou, and the Xiapi people gathered thousands of people, proclaimed themselves the Son of Heaven, and disturbed the prefecture and county. Xuzhou's administrative office is in Xiapi, and now someone is making trouble under his nose, Tao Qian is naturally very annoyed, so he immediately ordered his commander Cao Bao to lead 5,000 infantry to attack, and finally killed Que Xuan.

After Yuan Shu withdrew from Nanyang, which was densely populated and developed in iron smelting, Liu Biao hurriedly sent his generals Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to lead an army into Wancheng, intending to take Nanyang for himself. Cao Cao had a lot of opinions about this, and felt that Yuan Shu was driven away by himself, but now it was Liu Biao who got the cheap, so he sent an envoy to Xiangyang to negotiate with Liu Biao.

After some haggling, Liu Biao agreed to provide Cao Cao with 200,000 stone of military rations every year, and Cao Cao agreed to have Liu Biao control of Nanyang.

When the battle around Luoyang was in a mess, the Guanzhong area did not stop.

At the beginning, the imperial court divided Li Dao, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and Wang Fang, and divided their territories to temporarily pacify them. However, the hearts of the people are never satisfied, and after these heavily armed warlords have stabilized their territory, they begin to think about how to expand their ranks and expand their territory. As a result, various contradictions began to be gradually revealed.

First of all, General Anbei and Pingyang Marquis Zhang Ji were dissatisfied with the territory assigned to him by the imperial court, and felt that the population in Beidi County was sparse, and there were often Qiang rebellions, which was not as good as Jingzhao Yin, the territory of General Zhendong and Hou Duan Xuan of Yanxiang, so Zhang Ji united Fan Chou and Wang Fang, who also had great opinions on Duan Xuan, gathered 80,000 soldiers and horses, and came to besiege Duan Xuan with the acquiescence of Guo Yan.

Duan Xuan only had 20,000 horses under his command, and he couldn't resist Zhang Ji, so he had to lead the army to retreat to Hedong County and give Zhang Ji the fat of Jing Zhaoyin.

Zhang Ji moved from Beidi County to Jingzhaoyin, and the vacant place was immediately targeted by Ma Teng, Li Dao and Han Sui, and as a result, Ma Teng took the lead in sending his subordinate Pang De to stationed in Beidi County. After Li Dao learned about it, he immediately joined forces with Guo Yan to attack Pang De, Ma Teng invited Han Sui to come to help in the battle, and the two sides fought in the area of Niyang, and Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops finally did not reach the Flying Bear Army under Li Dao's command and withdrew from Beidi County.

Li Dao and Guo Yan then divided Beidi County equally and continued to exert power in the Guanzhong region.

Duan Xuan, who withdrew to the Hedong region, was unfavorable in the year, and happened to encounter the annexed Southern Xiongnu Department in Fuluo to make a rebellion in the Pingyang area, Duan Xuan then led the army to quell the rebellion, and after five days of fierce fighting, Yu Fuluo drove out of Hedong.

Yu Fuluo led the remnants of his army north to Xihe County, where he was intercepted by Yuan Shao's general Gao Lan in the area of Tongtian Mountain, and had no choice but to surrender, and Yuan Shao had a cavalry of more than 5,000 people.

As far as the eye can see, throughout the four years of Chuping, there were wars and dead people everywhere in the territory of Dahan, but there was silence within two hundred miles around Luoyang, like an island in the stormy waves, although it seemed small, but it could never be swallowed up and annihilated by the huge waves.

Liu He is highly vigilant about the fights between various warlords, but he never makes any comments in public, he is like a lion guarding his territory, as long as others do not invade him, everyone is fine.

Because Luoyang is located in the traffic arteries from south to north, so the surrounding people often come to Luoyang for refuge, and Liu He accepted all of them and did not drive anyone away.

Someone once dissuaded Liu He not to recruit too many displaced people, otherwise there would be a famine in Luoyang in winter, but Liu He did not think so, and still insisted on his decision and continued to take in the fleeing refugees nearby.

The people take food as the sky, and the country is people-oriented.

Even if there is another famine in Luoyang in winter, Liu He believes that as long as the government and the people work together, they can still tide over the crisis. As long as people are not starved to death, and there is no tragic situation of cannibalism, after surviving this difficult time, the vitality of the Han will still be there, and it will be easier to recover.

Liu He had already thought about it, if it really didn't work, he would personally return to Youzhou with some of the displaced people, which would not only alleviate Luoyang's food problem, but also expand the population of Youzhou. (To be continued......)
