Chapter 629, the situation in the third year of Jian'an
The three years of Jian'an were very critical for Liu Feng, and the war in the previous year made him consume a lot, although it was not the weakest time, but if he wanted to use troops again, it would inevitably affect the development of the territory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, his two current close enemies, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu, like him, have entered the recovery period. Needless to say, as a defeated person, if he doesn't recover his strength as soon as possible, he will be a weak person in the eyes of others, and he may be bitten at any time. Liu Biao, on the other hand, was busy consolidating his newly purchased Xincai County, and at the same time, he also began to guard against Zhang Ji, whose strength had gradually grown.
The neighbor to the south, Jiaozhou, since Shi Kun served as Jiaozhi Taishou, the Shi family has gradually become stronger in the past few years, and he saw that Jiaozhou and the Central Plains were absolutely independent, so he became self-reliant. However, Jiaozhou is not the only one of the scholars, there are also assassins and other guards appointed by the imperial court, plus there are not many wars in Jiaozhou, the player's strength is developing rapidly, and there are constantly people who want to challenge the old order, it can be said that the current Jiaozhou is in chaos, and there is no absolutely powerful force. The reason why the Shi family was able to occupy almost the entire Jiaozhou in the end was because the leader of the Shi family lived too long.
Therefore, Jiaozhou in the south cannot threaten Liu Feng for the time being, and there is no lord player of Jiaozhou who dares to enter Yangzhou as a disaster.
War can often promote the development of society, in the previous year, the huge Runan County was divided into three or four counties, even if it was unified again in the future, it is impossible to merge them again, this in fact strengthened the consolidation of the central government over the localities, obviously, the weaker the county, the less able it is to pose a threat to the central government, and the situation of daring to argue with the central government will no longer exist as before. At the very least, if you want to rebel, you have to have a few counties or even occupy a state.
Cao Cao and Sun Jian had a grudge against each other because of Chen Liu, but because of the previous war, they did not dare to move troops without authorization and entered a period of recuperation. Zhang Ji can now be regarded as an enemy on all sides, with Sun Jian in the north, Yuan Shu in the east, Liu Biao in the south, and the Xiliang army in the west, which he betrayed, and the situation is even worse than Sun Jian, especially after Yuan Shu was weakened, Liu Biao, who had increased his strength, started the idea of Wancheng, so he could only passively defend and guard the existing territory, and it was difficult to move.
The rest of the Central Plains does not mean that the world is stable, and in other places, the war has never ended.
The war in Qingzhou has lasted for two years, and Yuan Shao's army has never been able to capture the entire territory of Qingzhou, because the resistance of the Yellow Turbans is too stubborn, and it is completely by virtue of the superiority of manpower, and the organization of one city and one place is stubborn.
The Yellow Turbans of the four states of Qingxu and Yanyu gathered and united, and finally entered Qingzhou to seize the three counties of Donglai, Beihai and Qi, which was participated in by a large number of players, and it was precisely because of this that after occupying half of Qingzhou, the strength of these players developed rapidly. There are even powerful guilds that are directly assigned to a county. It was precisely because of the player's participation and his resistance in order to protect his territory that Yuan Shao's progress in the three counties of Qingzhou was difficult.
Some fight for passion, some for ideals, and some for pure profit...... If you choose the side of the Yellow Turban, you are doomed to fight to the end, because the loss of surrender is unbearable.
With the increase of the player's strength, the aboriginal forces can no longer be regarded as nothing, and after realizing the player's crazy expansion of strength, the princes of all walks of life invariably began to suppress the Inhuman Lord, doing everything possible to limit the development of the Inhuman territory under their rule. In the battle for Qingzhou, this situation was clearly revealed.
When a lord player surrendered, Yuan Shao, who had long been annoyed by the strangers of the three counties of Le'an, decisively gave Guo Tu an order to remove all his powers and become idle, and the territory he built was directly taken over by Yuan Shao Guo Tu, and the so-called daughter buying horse bones has never appeared in the hearts of the children of this family.
Then, the players in Qingzhou went crazy, they chose to join the Yellow Turban, and made great efforts, and finally let the Yellow Turban occupy half of Qingzhou, and finally brought them a huge harvest, and they became the players in charge of a county. But finally a few days later, Yuan Shao was about to destroy him, how could they be willing, of course, they spared no effort to oppose Yuan Shao. Because if you surrender, it will be the same result, and it is better to fight to the death.
This resulted in the result that Yuan Shao's army was fighting for every inch of land in Qingzhou, so the battle in Qingzhou has been delayed.
But this time, Yuan Shao was ruthless, not only did the three fierce generals and several major strategists go into battle at the same time, but even Yuan Shao also stayed in Yecheng and went to the front line in Qingzhou in person to motivate his soldiers.
In July of the third year of Jian'an, Liyi led the army to break through Beihai Opera County, and the main force of the Yellow Turban withdrew to Duchang; In August, Wen Chou broke Duchang, and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai retreated to Yingling; In October, Yan Liang led the army to break through Jiaodong and Jimo one after another, blocking the road for the Yellow Turban Army to retreat to Donglai, and Yuan Shao began to send partial divisions to sweep away Donglai; In mid-November, braving heavy snowfall, Liyi broke through the camp again, and the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai fled to Zhuxu; Immediately afterwards, Liyi successively broke through Anqiu and Gaomi, and forced the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army into Chang'an City......
Within a few months, Yuan Shao's army had achieved results close to those of the previous two years. But correspondingly, the losses are also twice as high as in the previous two years. In order to succeed quickly, Yuan Shao pulled almost all the troops trained during the recuperation period in Jizhou in the past two years onto the battlefield, and chose to focus on attacking the important cities where the Yellow Turban Army was entrenched. In Jizhou, Yuan Shao only left the army defending the city, and if there was a war, he would not be able to draw troops at all.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao's luck is good, Liu Bei and Lu Bu don't have any intention of competing at all now, they are busy with their own affairs.
The war took place in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Army only cared about fighting, there was no time to develop, two or three years later, the previous raid on Qingzhou looting gains, has been exhausted, anyone can see that the Yellow Turban Army was eliminated by Yuan Shao, it is not far away.
Just when Yuan Shao himself felt that he was about to sweep away the Yellow Turbans and Qingzhou was within reach, one day in December, the Yellow Turban Army suddenly braved the heavy snow and disappeared from Chang'an overnight, and when it reappeared, it had already entered Langya County, Xuzhou (Langya State was abolished by Yuan Shu). In addition to the two million yellow scarves accompanying him, there were also a large number of strangers who lost everything because of Yuan Shao.
It can be said that the relationship between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu today is somewhat complicated. As brothers, they are incompatible with each other, one arrogants and claims to be the Son of Heaven, and the other is a general appointed by the imperial court to command the army of the world and has the right to conquer. But if Yuan Shao dared to enter Xuzhou directly to crusade against Yuan Shu, it would be a joke.
After three years of continuous campaigning, Jizhou was already overwhelmed, and Yuan Shu had just recuperated for a year. If the Jizhou army dares to enter Xuzhou, Yuan Shu will never reason with it because of brotherhood, but will use the army to let the people of the world know which powerful prince he Yuan Highway is still in.
Therefore, the Jizhou army stopped at the border of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shao sent people to Pengcheng to ask Yuan Shu to hand over the Yellow Turban Army, and the army was left part, and the rest turned back to continue to clear the remaining enemies.
Yuan Shu naturally refused to let go, and then a public opinion war was set off between the brothers, and they criticized each other.
The other princes were not idle either.
Liu Bei, who has always been supported by players, is also suppressing lord players openly and secretly, but compared to Yuan Shao, what he does is much more secretive, and every time he fights, the lord players under his rule will be weakened once. In the third year of Jian'an, Liu Bei, who had recuperated for more than a year, launched several major wars against Gongsun Du, who was entrenched in Liaodong, and each time he fought back, he recaptured several counties occupied by Gongsun Du, until the time of the truce in winter, Gongsun Du had only half of Liaodong County left, and the countdown to its destruction had also begun.
Of course, in order to prevent players from being dissatisfied, Liu Bei compensated the meritorious players under his rule from other aspects.
This year, Lu Bu was not idle, and without the containment of hundreds of officials in the imperial court for the time being, Lu Bu could finally concentrate his strength and let go of the war. In this year, LĂź Bu expelled the Baibo army from the Xihe River, subdued the Southern Xiongnu royal court, which had been in chaos, and took Li Su as the Xiongnu lieutenant general, responsible for the affairs of the Southern Xiongnu. In the winter of this year, the tribe of Xianbei who went south was broken by Lu Bu in Yanmen County, and the battle line against Xianbei finally moved beyond the Great Wall.
In Yizhou, Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are also having a lot of fun, although the scale is not large, but the players here have been tempered by the war.
In Yongzhou, the situation also changed, and Li Ru's strategy finally succeeded and achieved his desired goal.
