After a year, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu attacked Shucheng again.

However, this time he was working for the target he attacked last time, which made Zhou Yu a little unhappy......

Shucheng is now under the control of Liu Xun, this person has a grudge against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, when Sun Ce inherited the overlord's legacy, he almost folded in the hands of Liu Xun, and many Jiangdong children who served as grassroots generals in the army were overdrawn by Yuan Shu into the hatred of "waste people", and Sun Ce was also recorded on his head half.

Liu Xun also knew that Yuan Shu had already run away, and even ...... When Hefei was lost, Liu Xun had some ideas, Yuan Shu informed Liu Xun before going north, after all, Liu Xun was the Taishou of Lujiang, and there were many soldiers under Yuan Shu's command, and even after Yuan Shu was weak, he faintly had some intention of not listening to Xuan, ignoring Yuan Shu's previous letter, and there was no intention of convergence at all.

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were killed under Shucheng, Liu Xun directly sent a letter saying that he wanted to surrender the city.

In history, after Yuan Shu's death, Liu Xun was also like this, not only detained Yuan Shu's son-in-law and nephew, but also Yang Hong and others defected to him, but he was directly detained, and later took refuge in Cao Cao.

Sun Ce was a little angry about this, and he wanted to fight Liu Xun to vent his anger, but he still reported the matter to Bai Tu.

The old grudges of Bai Tu and Liu Xun are just battlefield battles, which are essentially different from Yuan Shu's behavior of robbing the people.

Maybe Bai Tu can't be like Cao Cao in history, under the revenge of killing his son, he can accept Zhang Xiu, but he won't be unforgivable just because he has fought with himself - then Long Aotian's words, no matter how much black technology he holds, he can't go far.

Although Liu Xun has no ability, and now surrendering is only forced by the situation, but after all, he has been spared a sword soldier.

Therefore, after asking Sun Ce and finding that his second brother did not hold much grudges, he ignored the resentment of the third brother and promised to fight for Liu Xun to become a marquis.

Liu Xun also knew that Bai Tu didn't look down on his ability, and he had a grudge against Sun Ce, and most of them would be idle in the future, but it was not bad to have a marquis, not to mention ...... It's impossible to fight, and you know that you can't beat it at all!

The old man Lu Kang is estimated to be on the road, and if he wants to stick to it at that time, he must be careful of the "inner ghost" - how good Lu Kang's reputation in Shucheng was, how bad Yuan Shu's reputation was in Shucheng!

When the time comes, how can the people in the city hold on to the army attacking the city from outside than to the army defending the city?

In this way, Baitu has basically been completely based on Huainan, and the territory is ...... If you don't consider Jiaozhou, which doesn't have much of a sense of existence today, it is already bigger than Soochow.

The population is also slightly exceeded, after all, although most of the population of Huainan in history moved to Jiangdong, the preservation is definitely not as complete as it is now.

And the important thing is not only the size of the territory, but from the geographical advantage, after occupying the south of Huainan, Baitu will form a partial advantage of the Central Plains.

……

The situation in Shouchun has spread in Huainan, Zhongyuan, Jiangdong, and Guanzhong in a short period of time, and it is believed that Bashu and Xiliang will also get the news soon......

Yuan Shu, who was born in the fourth world and the third duke, actually plundered the people, which is even more bottomless than the previous emperor.

However, Yuan Shu claimed that he was only advancing taxes and fees for the next few years...... As for Shouchun being out of Yuan Shu's control, it can only be blamed on the latecomers for continuing to collect taxes.

Regarding the problem of chaos after the main force left, Yuan Shu also directly pushed it on several "rebel generals", regardless of the troops that plundered in the city later, in fact, many of them also crossed the river north with Yuan after Lu Bu arrived before Lu Bu arrived.

Of course, no one believes this statement at all......

It's just that Yuan Shu is now in Runan, and there are still 100,000 elite soldiers, and they are all his henchmen, so everyone can barely convince themselves to "believe" him.

However, after losing Huainan, Yuan Shu wanted to feed the 100,000 troops, which seemed a little reluctant.

In addition to verbal condemnation, most of everyone is unwilling to be tough with Yuan Shu, except for Bai Tu and Cao Cao!

Bai Tu directly announced the situation of Shouchun to the imperial court, and directly sprinkled the inscription, claiming that those who participated in the plundering of the people, not only declared that they would not stand with the puppet emperor, but also bluntly said that they would not forgive the plunderers of the people, no matter where they fled, they would be killed!

For Bai Tu's behavior of clamoring for not accepting surrender before the war started, it is absolutely militarily disadvantageous.

However, this time, the princes of the world, whether it was the suspicious Cao Cao or the "naïve" Liu Zhang, did not show too many doubts, after all...... That's the white picture.

"Aren't the dead ones his father? Tsk tsk. After Liu Zhang learned the news in the state governor's mansion, he made a disdainful voice.

Cao Cao also felt the implicit threat in Bai Tu's inscription after seeing it, as if as long as he accepted Yuan Shu's participation in the plundering of the people's old department, he would be targeted......

It is true that when he saw the tragic state of Shouchun with his own eyes, he was determined to set an example and teach a lesson to a guy like a madman like Yuan Shu in the world!

As for the soldiers under Yuan Shu?

If you fight on the battlefield, everyone is your own master, and Bai Tu will not kill and kill prisoners because he was once an enemy, but ...... The generals who participated in the disaster of Shouchun, Bai Tu will definitely not let go.

And Cao Cao also declared war on Yuan Shu at the same time, compared to Bai Tu, Cao Cao's purpose was much simpler.

Runan is already north of Huainan, and it is the fattest county in Yuzhou that Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought for, and it is Yingshui to stretch out its hand upward, and Yingchuan County is north of Yingshui, and Xu Du is in Yingchuan!

Whether it was to not allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, or to annex Yuan Shu's subordinates, or to compete with Bai Tu for Runan, Cao Cao would never let Yuan Shu go as long as he had the opportunity.

As for Liu Bei in Xuzhou...... Now that he is out of reach, if he wants to attack Yuan Shu, he has to borrow from Bai Tu or Cao Cao.

Although Yuan Shu still has an army of 100,000 now, it can be described as a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, but ...... Just wait for a few heavy rains in Huainan, so that next year, even if it is just a normal year, Bai Tu will be able to easily crush Yuan Shu in Runan.

After the complete integration of Huainan, that is, Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, Guangling County, and even part of Xiapi County and Jiangxia County, the population under Bai Tu's rule will reach one million.

At that time, in terms of population, he will be second only to Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang, and become the top powerful princes of the Han family.

Yuan Shao belonged to the beginning of Tianhu, Qingji and the four states, although the state was sparsely populated, and Qingzhou was seriously damaged during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but ...... The total population of the four states is still nearly 10 million, that is, about 2 million households.

As for Liu Zhang, although his ability is limited, he was born well, Yizhou was clearly integrated by Liu Yan before, and he was almost not affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, even if Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is now "out of control", there are still about one million households.

After Bai Tu completely took Huainan, he was almost able to match Yizhou in terms of population.

As for Liu Biao...... The total population of Jingzhou is not inferior to that of Yizhou, but Jingnan ignores Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu and Huang Zu also listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, and the actual population of Liu Biao who can control taxes is about 600,000 households.

Followed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Lu, Yanyu Xu, the population of the three states of the Central Plains, was basically opened by Cao Cao and Liu Bei Qisan - originally Xuzhou was slaughtered by Cao Cao and the countryside, and the people of the city were overdrawn, and the vitality was greatly injured, but Liu Bei in the past three years, he worked hard to govern the country and convince people with virtue, and attracted a lot of displaced people from Yuzhou and Yanzhou.

In contrast, Cao Cao's methods were too tough, and he forcibly relocated the people at every turn, and drove the people like animals, and this is how the population of Huainan was "driven" to Jiangdong in history.

Of course, both Yuzhou and Xuzhou are not under the control of Cao Cao and Liu Bei...... Don't ask, asking is the requisition of the General's Mansion.

As for Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, he was originally just Liu Yan's "puppet......

After Liu Yan arrived in Yizhou, in order to cut off the control of the imperial court over Yizhou, he supported Zhang Lu to cut off Hanzhong - blocking the passage from Guanxi to Yizhou, and then he did not hear all the orders to the imperial court.

As a puppet, naturally Zhang Lu also had a proton to stay in Chengdu, but after Liu Yan's death, Zhang Lu was obviously not very convinced by Liu Zhang, so he ...... Liu Yan's genius son Liu Zhang directly killed Zhang Lu's brothers, mothers, and children in Chengdu.

After that, Bashu and Hanzhong became mortal enemies!

Originally, Hanzhong had a population of less than 100,000 households, and even if the land was fertile, it was impossible to stop the millions of people in Bashu, but ...... Dong Zhuo and the princes of Xiliang, after taking turns tossing Guanzhong, the land of Guanzhong was ten rooms and nine empty, and a large part of them migrated to Hanzhong

Zhang Lu also got fat for this big wave, so he would argue with Liu Zhang, and he didn't expect that Liu Zhang would actually use hostages as disposable products to vent gas......

In terms of war potential alone, such as today's princes, Yuan Shao is considered to be super-first-rate, followed by Bai Tu and Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Zhang Lu are second-rate, and the princes of Guanzhong can only be regarded as third-rate and fourth-rate.

Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang are all third-rate alone, but if they can use the strength of the Qiang people, they can also challenge the second-rate - the Qiang are different from the Xiongnu and Xianbei, although they often rely on plundering the Han people to survive the winter, but they have long been accustomed to surrendering to the strong among the Han people, so they can be used.

As for Liaodong Gongsun Du and Jiaozhou Shixie, they are all in a similar situation, Gongsun Du is nothing in front of Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, but he has won many battles against Goguryeo and Wuhuan, and the lord of Buyeo State, the predecessor of Baekje, is now the son-in-law of Gongsun Du, nominally attached to Gongsun Du.

And Shixie is in Jiaozhou, and there are only 100,000 Han people under his rule, but there are hundreds of large and small barbarian tribes in Jiaozhou...... But compared with the previous Jiaozhou assassination history, Shixie is deeply loved by the barbarians.

Taking into account foreign aid, the strength fluctuates greatly.

Yuan Shu, who used to be "the first in the world", may still have second-rate combat effectiveness in the short term, but the people's hearts have been lost, and he has fallen into a cage, and most of Runan County can't support his 100,000 elites, and he is sandwiched in the middle by Cao Cao and Bai Tu, so he is no longer afraid......
