Liu Fengjun's entry into Yuzhang was in the name of suppressing bandits, of course, it could not be so smooth, which was also expected. Bai Jian, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, naturally will not honestly go to the bandits, the suppression of bandits is just a slogan, and the real purpose is to take the opportunity to swallow Yuzhang little by little.

The world is in chaos, and excuses are very easy to find, because what is needed is a reason, and there is no need to worry about whether it is true or false.

Enter the country to suppress the bandits, and when you get to your territory, you have to provide heavy grain and grass. Don't give it, okay, this is the army invited by Yuzhang Taishou, it is a distinguished guest, since you ignore the order of Taishou and be rude to your guests, are you already colluding with the bandits? Among the people who attacked General Pingdong before, were you there? You said no, how is it possible, someone has already confessed to you, so let's honestly confess your guilt.

And then the war began.

The excuse is very simple, and people can see at a glance that they are finding fault, but so what, anyway, in these years, whoever has the big fist has the final say.

Liu Feng did not go out in person this time, but stayed in Wu County, urging the remaining generals to train their troops while planning another big problem. At the same time, it also takes into account the so-called "godsends", that is, "unique" things. After all, a large number of 6th-order peaks under his command have been unable to advance for a long time, and which dragon characters they encounter are at a disadvantage, which really makes Liu Fengman.

Of course, this is not an overnight thing, even if it is to be built, it needs to be planned in detail and carried out in concealment, so as not to leak the rumors. At the very least, it is necessary to ensure that before the fall of Yuan Shu, the matter of the "God-given thing" cannot be leaked.

……

Putting aside Jiangdong for the time being, Yuan Shao finally took full control of Jizhou after capturing Yi County, and when Liu Bei arrived, although he was annoyed that he lost face because of Zhao Yun, he was still persuaded by his subordinates to stop the war rationally, and after sending the general to stay in Yi County, the squad returned to Yecheng and maintained a relative peace with Liu Bei. Liu Bei was also tired because he had just defeated Gongsun Zhan, and the newly occupied territory had not yet been digested, and his strength was still weaker than Yuan Shao, so he did not hold Yuan Shao accountable, and acquiesced in the fact that Yi County was occupied by Yuan Shao.

It's not just Liu Feng who is acting, but any ambitious prince in the world is desperately expanding his strength.

After Liu Bei ended the war, he immediately set out to settle the people, just experienced a big war, the territory doubled, the people's hearts were not paid, Liu Bei was not allowed to use the sword in the fifth year of the first peace, but those who know Liu Bei know that he is unwilling to nest in the poor land in the north, and if he wants to confront Yuan Shao of the fourth and third princes in the south, there must be a unified Youzhou, Liaoxi is not the end, there are Liaodong and Liaodong vassal states, and even Xuansu, Lelang and other cities and counties that have not yet been annexed. Not to mention what others think, Gongsun Du, who was already dissenting appointed by Dong Zhuo, was unwilling, and took advantage of the war in the west to send troops to attack Lelang and other counties. In other words, Liu Bei has just leveled Gongsun Zhan, and he has to face a new enemy, and this enemy is still very remote.

As for Yuan Shao, he owns the entire Jizhou, and also occupies half of Qingzhou and the eastern county of Yanzhou, has the reputation of the fourth and third dukes, and has the support of the local clans, and his strength has become strong. Liu Bei's forces in the north have been established, and Youzhou is bitter and remote, and the war will not end easily, weakening himself and cheapening others. So Yuan Shao could only look elsewhere.

Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Henan, except for the East County forcibly occupied by Yuan Shao, appointed Zang Hong as the Taishou, has managed his own territory very steadily, and Cao Cao's relationship with himself has always been good, Yuan Shao did not want to start a war with Cao Cao before he had overwhelming strength, because looking around, there were no suitable allies, and only Cao Cao was small, and he could temporarily believe that when attacking other places, he would not be attacked in the south. Because Cao Cao also had to rely on Yuan Shao in order to have the power to deal with the increasingly strong Yuan Shu.

In front of Yuan Shao, there were only two choices, either to enter Qingzhou in the east and expel the Yellow Turbans that had already occupied the other three counties in Qingzhou, or to go west to Taihang and attack the state. But the problem is that the Yellow Turban has gained a firm foothold in Qingzhou and has been operating for several years, except that the name has not changed, it seems that the princes all the way, and the people of Bingzhou are fierce, especially after Lu Bu entered Bingzhou, although many people in the Shi clan do not welcome this anti-bone cub, but more low-level people still welcome him, because Lu Bu can protect their safety under the attack of the alien races in the grassland. Therefore, although Lu Bu has only been in Bingzhou for a few months, he has received the support of Zhang Yang, and he already has his own territory, and then gritted his teeth and took out the wealth he plundered in the Central Plains, recruited troops, and more than doubled his strength.

So whether it is eastward or westward, it is not so easy, it only depends on how Yuan Shao chooses, but that is also the sixth year of Chuping.

This spring, under the leadership of Niu Fu, the various units of the Xiliang Army united to defeat Han Sui and Ma Teng, and exterminated a resistance force in Chang'an City, which temporarily shocked the hundred officials and ministers who were about to move. But this is also the last time that the various departments of the Western Liang Army have worked together so much, and then because of the uneven distribution of interests and long-standing contradictions, when the Kanto region had no time to take care of the Yongliang land, the Western Liang Army once again launched a life-and-death struggle.

Niu Fu, as the strongest one, was the first to be targeted, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others united to attack together, and finally Niu Fu was defeated, lost control of the imperial court, was expelled from Chang'an City, and went west in a hurry. If it weren't for Hua Xiong's sacrifice of his life to rescue, I was afraid that Niu Fu would die. Even so, Niu Fu lost most of the army, only taking away thousands of remnants, and the rest of the men and horses were all divided by Li Dao and others.

Then Li Dao and others had disputes again because of the uneven distribution of spoils, and they attacked each other endlessly. By the way, Fan Chou was not killed because he let Han Sui go during the pursuit, at that time, Niu Fu wanted to kill Fan Chou on this ground, and recruited Li Wei and Guo Yan to discuss secretly, but the two were afraid that Niu Fu's move was a drunkard's intention not to drink, and they wanted to break them all and resolutely oppose, so Fan Chou picked up a life in a daze and continued to exist as the strongest part of the Xiliang Army.

In order to compete for the territory after Niu Fu's death and for the control of the Chang'an court, there was constant friction between the various departments of the Xiliang Army, and the contradictions became deeper and deeper, and it had reached the point where a major war was necessary to solve it. But this is also a problem in the sixth year of the first peace, and with the arrival of winter, they have begun to recuperate.

The war in Yizhou lasted for several months, and finally there were signs of an end, Liu Biao's main force was not out, and with the strength of Liu Dan and others, it was impossible to fight with Liu Zhang for a long time. After the onset of winter, Liu Biao reduced his support for Liu Dan, and finally Liu Dan was broken by Liu Zhang's army, fled to Jingzhou, and attached himself to Liu Biao.

The reason why Liu Biao no longer continued to support Liu Dan was that on the one hand, he felt that Yizhou had suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and that Huang Zu kept ordering to attack Liu Feng without authorization, which caused Liu Biao's dissatisfaction, especially when he learned that Yuan Shu was involved, Liu Biao was even more afraid that Yuan Shu would take the opportunity to attack, so he strengthened the defense to the east. At this time, Bai Jian and Tai Shici had already incorporated the northern part of Yuzhang into the Jiangdong system under the pretext of suppressing bandits. Not only did they capture a lot of wealth, but they also expanded the number of the army.

And Yuan Shu, after getting the jade seal of the country, immediately started to dream of the emperor, although he didn't want to reveal it for the time being, but he had already decided to do it in his heart. Before entering Xuzhou, he saw Tao Qian's weakness, so he wanted to seize Xuzhou and prepare for his claim as emperor. So during this time, he actively prepared to attack Xuzhou in the coming year.

And Sun Jian, who gave the jade seal, got Yuan Shu's permission to capture Hanoi and stationed himself, and did not immediately cross the river to the north, but planted in Yin, Henan with peace of mind, while restoring people's livelihood while actively preparing for war.

It can be said that after the excitement of the first half of the year, the entire winter of the fifth year of Chuping was quiet, except for Liu Feng who sent Bai Jian to attack Yuzhang, the other princes were recuperating and waiting for the next year's action.

It was under such circumstances that the sixth year of the first peace came.
