Chapter 38: The Northern Division

After Lu Bu returned to Xiapi, he also got the latest news.

Yuan's army had all retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River, while Cao Cao's territory captured on the south bank was all handed over to Liu Bei.

Its purpose was naturally to let Liu Bei help resist Cao Cao.

At this moment, Liu Beike was overjoyed.

After wandering for so many years, he finally has a territory of his own.

Liu Bei immediately put up a list to calm the people, and recruited troops and horses.

Without soldiers and horses, he can't hold it!

Because of the Yuan Group, Yagen didn't give him anything.

I have to say that Liu Bei is very good at buying people's hearts. Even if he had just experienced the war, he was fooled by Liu Bei into joining the army.

All of a sudden, Liu Bei was able to jump up and down again.

At this time, the Yuan Group was completely messed up.

For a long time, the Yuan Group has been divided into two major factions.

And these two factions, one faction supports the eldest son Yuan Tan, and the other faction supports the third prince Yuan Shang. Of course, there are a few centrists.

Yuan Shao did not set up a son during his lifetime, and he died suddenly, how not to fight for power.

This kind of fight, even if Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang themselves want to refuse.

Because the forces behind them will also force them to fight.

Besides, who doesn't want to be in control. Who doesn't want to be the king who obeys the world as soon as the order is issued.

All of a sudden, the four northern states were once again divided.

Yuan Shang, with the support of Feng Ji, Xian Pei and others, seized power in Yecheng and took control of Jizhou.

It's just that Yuan Tan will serve. He controls the land of Qingzhou, and his soldiers and horses are not weak, so he wants to fight for power by force.

And Yuan Xi and Gao Gan, who are in the middle, are the objects of their wooing.

Yuan Xi is in charge of Youzhou, and Gao Gan is in charge of the state, and both of them have huge forces. As long as you win over, you can sit firmly in power.

Originally, the gap between Tan Shang and Shang was not too big, but unfortunately Yuan Shu took the opportunity to make trouble in Qingzhou and announced that he would succeed Yuan's power.

Because he is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, the foundation of the Yuan family will naturally be inherited by him.

Whether it is Yuan Tan or Yuan Shang, they are still children, and they can't handle the big business at all.

Yuan Shu made a fuss, and even split half of Qingzhou.

In this way, Yuan Tan's forces are completely incomparable to Yuan Shang. And some people who saw the wind and steered the rudder immediately joined the Yuan Shang Group.

In short, with Liu Bei, the north was completely divided into six forces at once.

And the source of all this is only because of Yuan Shao alone.

With the death of Yuan Shao, LΓΌ Bu split the north at once.

Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh, he had to do this.

Yuan Shao is powerful, and if he follows the momentum, he will not give him time to breathe.

Now Xuzhou is just in the beginning stage of vigorous development, and once it falls into war, it will cause great damage.

At the same time, Cao Cao also expressed his attitude on behalf of the court. That is to support Yuan Tan's succession, because since ancient times, they have been all young and orderly.

And now that Yuan Shang is in charge, Cao Cao issued an order from the Son of Heaven to let Yuan Tan succeed to the throne, how is it not to continue to promote the two brothers to fight.

At this moment, the Yuan Group is even more outrageous.

The ministers and generals under the command of the two are all frequent actions, all kinds of wooing, and all kinds of sowing discord.

Once the forces of the two sides are clearly distinguished, a major war will inevitably occur.

Since he wants to make trouble, Lu Bu is not too big of a deal.

LΓΌ Bu publicly issued a statement in the newspaper that he supported Yuan Xi to inherit Yuan's inheritance.

And the reason is that Yuan Xi is gentle and benevolent.

In order to support Yuan Xi's ascension, he did not mind giving military support.

In short, this kind of remarks are the remarks of the diplomatic relations that Lu Bu can often hear in later generations.

For example, the American bigwigs want military sanctions at every turn, and they need military support at every turn.

The title of the world's big brother and the world's policeman is not called in vain.

For the kingdom that is attached below is a whole lot.

Therefore, Lu Bu also had this kind of dry addiction.

Although he can't do this now, he believes that it won't be long before he can be so awesome.

The newspaper soon spread to the north, and when he saw Lu Bu's statement, his eyes lit up.

Zhang Nan, Yuan Xi's subordinate. When he saw this announcement, he immediately realized that there was a huge opportunity.

One, he can also soar the chance.

Zhang Nan quickly found Yuan Xi and persuaded him to participate in the struggle for power.

How could Yuan Xi respond, and immediately reprimanded Zhang Nan: "Okay, you Zhang Nan, then Lu Bu killed my father, I don't share the sky with him, and you actually asked me to seek skin with him." Come on, drag Zhang Nan out and cut it! ”

Zhang Nan was instantly frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The last general should die, but the last general has no other intentions, just planning the future for the son." Could it be that Gongzi is really willing to succumb to others and be called around! ”

Zhang Nan's attitude made Yuan Xi's anger disappear a little, and he sighed: "What if you are unwilling, this Yuan family's foundation, how can it not be my turn to inherit it!" ”

Seeing that Yuan Xi had collected his anger, Zhang Nan tried again: "Second son, in the eyes of the last general, whether it is the eldest son or the third son, it is not a Ming Jun. The foundation of the Yuan family fell into the hands of the two of them, and it will surely decline. Therefore, the last general dared to suggest that the second son fight for the foundation of the Yuan family. ”

"Fight, what am I going to fight!" Yuan Xi said angrily: "Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China support the third brother, and the third brother's regime is stable. As the eldest son, the eldest brother also has the support of Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others. And what about me, what do I have? ”

Zhang Nan smiled slightly: "Second son, in the face of absolute strength, everything is vain. Youzhou is a natural horse farm, as long as the son develops well for a period of time, it will become a peerless force. In this way, how can there be no day of competition! ”

"This!" Yuan Xi was stunned. Of course, he knew Youzhou's huge military energy, and the field battlefield was completely the world of cavalry.

Lu Bu can enter the army of ten thousand people with one horse and one horse, how can it not be that Chitu has taken the big credit.

Although his heart was moved, Yuan Xi still shook his head: "Even if this son has 100,000 cavalry, what can he do, can he dominate the world?" ”

Zhang Nan smiled: "What if you add the weapons created by Lu Bu!" ”

"Hmm~!" Yuan Xi frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Nan said in a low voice: "It is said that Lu Bu has a unique smelting process, and the steel it smelts is several times tougher and sharper than ordinary iron. Its forged sabers are extremely sharp and can easily cut through ordinary blades. If the second son can get such a magic weapon, why can't he win the world! ”

"The second prince controls the most war horse resources, as long as the war horse is in hand, he can easily win the Yuan family's foundation. Then recharge your energy and win the whole world! ”

In order to be promoted and make a fortune, Zhang Nan completely painted all kinds of pies for Yuan Xi.

I have to say that Yuan Xi was moved.

Because his current situation is not good, Yuan Shang wants to blackmail him, and Yuan Tan is the same. He also owns a state of land, and he is extremely aggrieved.

This kind of struggle for power and profit has no brotherly affection at all.

In that case, why can't he fight too?

After being moved, Yuan Xi couldn't help frowning and said, "Lu Bu is just talking, how can he really support me!" ”

When the opportunity came, Zhang Nan immediately said: "Second son, according to the news that the last general will get, the reason why Lu Bu sent troops to help Cao Cao was that Cao Cao married his three daughters to Lu Bu. If the second son can also give up the beauty, this matter is not difficult! ”

"What do you mean!" Yuan Xi's brows furrowed.
