Handan, Cao Cao was ordered by Chutian to release Yuan Shao and others who were under house arrest, and went to see Chutian together.

When Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao again, he could hardly recognize the haggard Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao looked withered and tired.

Obviously, Yuan Shao was uncomfortable during this time.

Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, the starting point was higher than countless lords, and he was high-spirited, but he was calculated by Zhao Long, his reputation was ruined, he lost his territory and status, and became a prisoner of the ranks.

This huge sense of disparity is something that not many people can experience.

Cao Cao could barely understand Yuan Shao's mood at this time.

Cao Cao once also had the ambition to chase the Central Plains, and when he became the assassin of Yanzhou, after being defeated by Chutian, he was once a prisoner of the ranks.

It's just that Cao Cao is much luckier than Yuan Shao, and Chu Tian dares to use Cao Cao, just like Mingguan dares to use Dolgon, and Lao Qin dares to use Lu Bu. Of course, Cao Cao is still much better than Dolgon and Lu Bu.

"Primordial!"

"Ahh

“……”

Although Cao Cao was called by Yuan Shao's nickname again, he still hugged Yuan Shao and cried.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they are both losers in the Central Plains, and at this time, they cherish each other and smile at each other.

They used to be friends and stole someone else's bride together.

It's a pity that because of the hegemony later, they turned against each other.

After losing the identity of the princes, the two of them remembered their old feelings and sighed for a while.

"Ben was originally harmed by traitors, this time General Zhengdong defeated Zhao Long and released Ben Chu, I will definitely set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust."

Cao Cao patted Yuan Shao hard.

Yuan Shao thought that he had escaped from Zhao Long's clutches and fallen into Chu Tian's control, and couldn't help but worry: "Alas, I have gained for Chu Zimou, I don't know if Chu Zimou can tolerate me." In the past, I had a grudge against him, and I was afraid that I would be in a different place. ”

Xu You said: "Why worry about it at the beginning. In the past, there was a gap between me and Yanzhou Mu, but Yanzhou Mu was still able to tolerate me, not to mention the beginning. ”

Cao Cao also said: "Brother Benchu can live for three reasons. ”

Yuan Shao, who had already begun to be indecisive, was originally afraid of being poisoned by Chutian, but Cao Cao repeatedly assured that Chutian would not harm him, and asked suspiciously: "Why did Apo say that?" ”

"First, the fourth and third princes of the first brother are valued by the people of the world, so Yanzhou Mu will not easily kill the original one, otherwise he will offend the family and make some family members panic. Zhao Long did not harm his first brother, most of the reasons are like this. Second, Yanzhou Shepherd is kind-hearted and does not kill easily, Ziyuan and I both have grievances against him, but we don't blame him. Third, as long as the first brother lives in seclusion from now on and has little contact with the family, he can save his life. ”

Cao Cao's three reasons convinced Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was relieved.

As long as Cao Cao said, then there is no danger.

It's just that Yuan Shao may have to live like Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, a group of big people who live in seclusion in Xia City, from now on. Until one day, Chu Tian didn't care about Yuan Shao's influence, and Yuan Shao could be active in front of the world again.

There is a fourth reason, Cao Cao did not say clearly.

Xu You also knew it, and he didn't pick it out, because after he made it clear, it would hurt the feelings of the three old acquaintances.

The fourth reason is that Yuan Shao is not Chutian's opponent at all, let alone Yuan Shao, who has lost his territory and team. Such a Yuan Shao, a hundred are not Chu Zimou's opponents.

Elephants don't care about ants.

Yuan Shao's family was also placed under house arrest by Zhao Long, and they were released to reunite with Yuan Shao, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.

"This is my son, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, I originally expected that one day they would become dragons and phoenixes among people, but after this catastrophe, as long as they can live."

Yuan Shao had high hopes for his three sons.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Yuan Shao also hopes that each of his three sons is the reincarnation of Han Wu.

Cao Cao and Xu You were silent.

They were reluctant to speak out to stimulate Yuan Shao, but Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, except for Yuan Tan, could see it, and the other two people didn't seem to be very smart.

They are far from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's generation.

In the eyes of Cao Cao and Xu You, Yuan Shao's three sons are still three little children.

Yuan Shao said that he was released, but in fact he was placed under house arrest by Chutian, and went south to Yecheng with Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others to meet Chutian.

Chu Tian was wary of the families in Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Runan, but he also needed a group of local families to balance the families in other states, so Chu Tian was not as extreme as Zhao Long, and supported the families in another region by trying his best to suppress the families in one region.

"Isn't this Yuan Benchu?"

Chu Tian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the haggard Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao was in rags, where was there a half-point crusade against Dong Zhuo, the eight-sided majestic alliance leader style was more like a man called Huazi.

Yuan Shaocheng was terrified, and even took the initiative to ask Chu Tian for guilt: "In the past, I had a conflict with the general and offended the general, but now I am fortunate to be rescued by the general and saved from prison. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao's attitude was unexpected, Chu Tian did not immediately agree to Yuan Shao's active request, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Cao Cao and Xu You, who had arrived with Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao and Xu You seemed to have been recognized for something, and their hearts sank.

"Originally, why did you suddenly want to move to Summer City?"

"Listen to Meng Deyan, Xia Chengle is happy, don't think about it. Ben originally begged the general for permission. ”

Yuan Shao inadvertently sold Cao Cao.

"Mengde, you are guilty!"

Chu Tian scolded, and Cao Cao hurriedly knelt down: "The last general is guilty!" ”

The majesty of Chutian made Cao Cao tremble, and now the incident in the east window happened: "The last general should not say much, and make a plan for the beginning." ”

At this time, even Xu Yu knelt down: "The subordinates are guilty of the same crime as Mengde." ”

"You two, if you have any ideas, you will be killed."

"Yes......"

Cao Cao and Xu You knew that they had committed a big taboo and sweated profusely.

Their original intention was to kill two birds with one stone, both to provide a reason for Chutian to reasonably place Yuan Shao under house arrest - Yuan Shao took the initiative to choose to move to Xia City, and saved Yuan Shao's life.

But they didn't greet Chu Tian in advance, so they committed the taboo of forming a party for personal gain.

In most cases, the penalties for self-interest can be large or small.

"If you want to intercede for someone in the future, just say it."

After Chu Tian frightened Cao Cao and Xu You, his expression eased.

He found that his majesty was growing so heavy that even Cao Cao and Xu You would be afraid.

Yuan Shao also reacted, he inadvertently tricked Cao Cao, but fortunately, Chu Tian had no idea of killing Yuan Shao, so he didn't pursue it.

"You guys go down, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and the others, all move to Xia City."

Chu Tian put this group of unstable factors under his nose and monitored them, so that they could not succeed in the future.

In fact, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang could not be Chu Tian's opponents......

The three of them are at most third-rate generals.

Among a group of released strategists, Chutian recruited Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xin Bi, Xun Chen and others, so that they could appease the people's hearts and still serve in Jizhou. (There are too many, not the number of words, unimportant characters do not mean that they are not powerful, and the roles are limited)

In order to reduce the conflict between the Hebei family and the Central Plains family, Chutian made it reconcile.

Zhao Long was defeated on behalf of the Hebei family, and the Hebei family was worried that Chutian would vigorously attack the Hebei family, so they chose to compromise.

After the Central Plains family was suppressed by Zhao Long, its power was greatly damaged, and it learned a lesson, so it didn't dare to jump up and down, so the Central Plains family also chose to compromise.

The two sides reluctantly reconciled under the assertion that Chutian valued peace (hundreds of thousands of troops pressed the border).

"Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, their relationship with Zhao Long is also quite close. Zhao Long has been operating in Hebei for seven years, and the local family in Hebei has an inextricable relationship with Zhao Long, which is a bit troublesome......"

Chu Tian couldn't find Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and with their resourcefulness, it was really not difficult to leave Jizhou while they were in chaos.

However, if there is gain, there must be loss, and Chu Tian can only sigh like that.

Cao Cao was also unable to make the judges, Fu Zhu, Gao Shun, Guan Yu, Ma Chao and others surrender, Guan Yu could not surrender Pang De, and Liu Bei could not surrender Zhang Ren.

killed Zhao Long, offended a group of people, but quickly ended the war in Hebei.

There are losses and gains, this is life.

"Lord, the lord west of Mo Nan has found that a Mongolian cavalry has entered Mo Nan!"

"To the west of Monan, but in the direction of Liangzhou and Bingzhou?"

"Exactly!"

"Mongol cavalry, how can it be there?"

Chutian immediately spread out the map and determined the target of the Mongol cavalry's actions as soon as possible.

Another Mongol cavalry entered Monan, and Chu Tian did not believe that they were here for sightseeing, and it was very likely that they were conducting military operations.

The Mongol Empire during Genghis Khan's Temujin period had a strong desire for expansion, and wherever the Mongol cavalry went, it was often accompanied by war, and this time was no exception.

The Iron Eagle Scout marked the map with the location of the Mongol cavalry as shown by intelligence.

"This place is not far from Shuofang County. And Shuofang County, there are a large number of Southern Xiongnu. The strength of the Southern Xiongnu was not strong. ”

The Southern Xiongnu inhabited the territory of the Han Empire, mainly in Bingzhou.

After being suppressed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu weakened their power and fought with each other, so their strength was far worse than that of the Xiongnu at their peak.

However, at this time, the weakness of the Southern Xiongnu in the annexed states seemed to be unfavorable to the Han Empire. Because the Southern Xiongnu were powerless to stop the advance of the Mongol cavalry.

"Hetao, Yinshan, they want to occupy this place as a bridgehead to attack the Central Plains?"

Chu Tian focused his gaze on Bingzhou, and he probably knew the strategic intentions of the Mongol cavalry.

I know the intentions of the Mongol cavalry, but I don't say to save it.

Shuofang County and Taiyuan County also belong to the merged state, but the actual distance is very far, and there are many Huns, and the situation is complicated.

If it is more intuitive, gather a large army and set off from Jizhou, it will take several months to complete the preparations for war and arrive at the Hetao.

"Let's see if the lord of Mo Nan can resist the Mongol cavalry. Huma is well-known in the state...... However, the Southern Xiongnu did not seem to give much face to Huma, and Huma did not really unify and annex the state. ”

A state has core and non-core areas, Taiyuan County and Shangdang County are the core of the state, and Huma's dominance over the two counties is relatively strong, while Shuofang County and Yunzhong County, where some Huns are active, have relatively weak dominance, which is obvious.

"Let Huma give it a try."

Chutian did not completely pacify Jizhou and Youzhou, and the wounded soldiers did not recover, so they were temporarily unable to go on an expedition.

At present, it is mainly up to Huma and the lords of Mo Nan to delay the Mongol Empire and let Chu Tian take a breath.

Mo Nan, the Mongolian commander, Mu Huali, one of the four cowardly Xue, with 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, from the Tianshan Mountains, entered Mo Nan, mighty.

The king of the field, Subutai, stayed in the country of Wusun and confronted Huo Quai.

In the northwest of the state, the Southern Xiongnu, Yu Fu Luo Shan and his brother Hu Chuquan and other nobles hunted.

An arrow hits the fleeing deer, and the deer falls.

A young Hun general stepped forward and pulled out the arrow.

Hu Chuquan said: "The leopard's archery skills are good, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future." ”

Yu Fu Luo Shan Yu said: "However, the Central Plains is full of heroes, and there is no prince, we can provoke." It is said that Huma, the prince who defeated us, has been defeated and fled from Yanmen. ”

"Could it be that Zhao Long has already occupied the state?"

"Listening to Yiren, Zhao Long seems to be dead."

"Zhao Long is actually dead? Last time, he also promised that if we responded to him and caused chaos in Shuofang County, Yunzhong County, and Yanmen County, he could give us more pasture and power. As soon as he dies, who should we ask for from the promise of the past? ”

"The struggle between the princes of the Central Plains is difficult for us to intervene in. We're going to stay here. ”

Yu Fuluo also entered Hebei for a time, but was driven back by the chaotic princes, and led the Southern Xiongnu to occupy Shuofang County, Yunzhong County, and Dingxiang County.

The power of the Xiongnu has declined, not because Yu Fuluo has no desire to fight for hegemony, but because he can't beat the Hebei princes.

Zhao Longli lured him to deal with Huma, but Yu Fuluo was defeated by Huma and retreated to Shuofang County.

Yu Fuluo has also learned a lot, except for supporting Zhao Long, he does not dare to send troops easily.

A free player who does business with the Southern Huns arrives.

Freelancers are active everywhere, even the Huns.

The Xiongnu were nomadic tribes and were not good at business, so commerce was monopolized by free players.

When Yuvro saw the biggest player merchant in the tribe, his expression was panicked, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

The player merchant said: "The Mongolian cavalry has appeared in Monan, and I can fight here, I need to transport the goods away temporarily to avoid losses." ”

Liu Bao, the son of Yufu Luoshan Yu, came over and asked, "Mongolian cavalry? Where did they come from? ”

"They are from Mobei and are extremely strong."

When a group of Southern Xiongnu nobles heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Among them, Hu Chuquan said: "Although our Southern Xiongnu are not the opponents of the princes of Hebei and the Central Plains, they are not something that the Mongolian cavalry can bully, and this time they will definitely have no return!" ”
