Chapter 681: Turn the face

Yuan Shao and Han Fu tried their hands on a small scale around Puyang in Dongjun, in fact, Yuan Shao was more implementing Xu You's strategy, that is, tactically attacking Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang who were winning over the Yellow Turban, and dealing with Zhang Jiao coldly.

Dongjun Taishou was originally Qiaomao, and now Qiaomao has been moved to Hedong Taishou, which is just a strategy for Yuan Shao to avoid the burden of Dongjun now, and Dongjun now has no Taishou at all, and the population of the entire Dongjun County was basically moved to Hebei by Han Fu, which is also the idea given to Han Fu, which is to make Dongjun a quarantine area, temporarily isolate Han Fu from the Central Plains, and avoid the impact of the Central Plains clan.

Yuan Shao stayed near Puyang, on the one hand, to put pressure on Han Fu, on the other hand, to give the wavering Zhang Miao eye medicine, Zhang Miao was on Yuan Shao's side at the beginning of the alliance, and supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, but his performance has been a little wavering since then, how can Yuan Shao not know that the fundamental purpose of this guy is to make the Yuan brothers turn against him, and then try to stand on his own.

Moreover, it is not only Zhang Miao who has this kind of thought, I am afraid that Liu Dai and Bao Xin also have this kind of thought, Yuan Shao's current affairs in Jizhou have not been completely settled, and he will not be able to take care of Yanzhou's affairs for a while, as for Yuzhou, it is purely Yuan Shu's matter, and it has nothing to do with Yuan Shao at all.

However, Yuan Shao must not watch a few guys in Yanzhou hug each other, that is definitely not a good thing for Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao must make an illusion in front of Bao Xin and Liu Dai, that is, Yuan Shao has reached some kind of tacit agreement with Zhang Miao, and it is likely that Yuan Shao will support Zhang Miao to become the lord of Yanzhou.

On the one hand, Yuan Shao instructed Yan Liang to lead his troops to expel and oppress Han Fu's troops to shrink back to Puyang, and on the other hand. He also personally went to Chen Liu, and under the noses of Yuan Shu and various forces, he secretly consulted with Zhang Miao.

As for what the two were discussing, the news from all sides was a little unbelievable, Yuan Shao was just discussing with Zhang Miao to buy grain and grass for the supply of the army near Puyang, and bought some weapons and arrows, of course. The price given by Yuan Shao was very good, and Zhang Miao made a lot of money.

It's just that neither Yuan Shu, nor Liu Dai, nor Bao Xin will believe this matter. The short-tempered Yuan Shu even wrote directly to ask Zhang Miao, who Zhang Miao is, and whether he is also a big celebrity. At that time, he was also known as one of the 'Eight Chefs', how could he be affected by Yuan Shu, the second ancestor gangster, he didn't even reply to the letter, and directly sent someone to tell Yuan Shu, who was organizing the reconstruction in Luoyang City, that the food was gone, and if you wanted it again, pay for it!

Yuan Shu almost didn't go crazy, and immediately wanted Zhang Xun and Chen Lan, who were stationed in Zhongmu, to send troops to attack Chen Liu, and Zhang Miao was also prepared, and directly ordered Wei Zi to lead the army into Junyi. Prepare to fight with Yuan Shuda.

However, in the end, under the persuasion of the ministers and clan elders, Yuan Shu did not openly fight with Zhang Miao, but Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao were completely torn apart, fortunately, Yuan Shu and Kong Ling of Yingchuan and Zhu Jun of Runan could provide support to Luoyang. In addition, a large amount of grain and grass equipment was originally stored in Zhongmu, and now it is transported to Luoyang, which can also support the summer harvest.

Now the key is to resume spring ploughing around Luoyang as soon as possible, otherwise even the summer harvest will be extinct, and more than one million people in the surrounding areas are concentrated in Luoyang City! If you want to buy food from outside, this is a huge cost. What's more, Yuan Shu still has to save money to rebuild Luoyang!

Although Yuan Shu did not send troops, he sent envoys to Liu Dai, Bao Xin and others, on the one hand, to seek more support for the reconstruction of Luoyang, and on the other hand, to condemn Zhang Miao's unrighteous behavior, and to win over Liu Dai and Bao Xin to isolate and deal with Zhang Miao, these things naturally fell in Zhang Miao's eyes.

It's just that this time Zhang Miao learned smartly, and he didn't know who gave him the idea, so Zhang Miao put forward a proposal to support Liu Dai to become the pastor of Yanzhou, integrate Yanzhou's military forces, and jointly defend the Taishan Yellow Turban, so as to resist Yuan Shu's division and co-optation.

Yuan Shao saw that his plan succeeded, and immediately gave up Puyang and returned to the plain to the east, completely letting go of the north of Chen Liu, Zhang Miao scolded angrily, but Han Fu seemed to have no signs of wanting to go south for a while, in fact, Han Fu had no plan to go south at all, but Zhang Miao was startled.

There is no threat in the north, Zhang Miao turned his attention to the south, and now the Chen County, Liang State, and Peiguo in the south are mainly in the hands of local clans, and they are still places where they have not expressed their attitudes, and the clans in these places do not want to express their positions, but now the situation in Yanzhou and Yuzhou is unclear, and the local clan forces are also afraid.

For the surrounding princes, the best way to take control of these places is military occupation, and Zhang Miao is not the only one with this in mind.

Zhu Jun of Runan is naturally counted as one, but now Zhu Jun's strength is a little stretched, and dealing with Zhang Mancheng consumes most of Zhu Jun's energy and troops, so even if he is urged by Yuan Shu, he is a little weak, and the other is Kong Ling, but Kong Ling is even more powerless, and the small Yingchuan is not good for Kong Ling now, let alone a larger territory?

The rest is of course Liu Dai, who has the most influence in Yanzhou, Liu Dai now controls Jiyin, Dongping and Lu County, surrounded by Shanyang and Rencheng on three sides, and at the same time, these three places are also directly bordered by Jiyin.

For Zhang Miao, who shouted to support him to lead Yanzhou Mu, and quietly played the idea of Chen Jun and Liang Guo, Liu Dai naturally saw it clearly.

It's just that before these two people could openly attack these three small counties, the counties suddenly changed color overnight.

That's right, it's Cao Cao who has arrived!

Cao Cao sneaked thousands of miles, and with the cooperation of the Cao clan of Qian County, he easily captured the county and the county, and then Cao Cao divided his troops and quickly took all the important places in Qian County, and the remaining counties and towns surrendered one after another.

Cao Cao's actions shocked the world, and it was unthinkable that Cao Cao, who had disappeared for a while, was originally under the guise of the county, and Cao Cao's move immediately involved the reactions of all forces.

First of all, Zhu Jun immediately broke away from contact with Zhang Mancheng, ended the momentum of the offensive, and sent troops south to Huainan to assist in the defense to prevent Cao Cao from sneaking up on Huainan County.

Zhang Miao and Liu Dai immediately stopped their small movements, and now that Chen Jun, Liang Guo, and Pei Guo had become a buffer zone to isolate Qian County, neither of them dared to act rashly, for fear of causing Cao Cao's overreaction.

Cao Ren, who was far away in Dai County, received an order to transfer Dai County to Kong Rong and led his army south to Qian County, while Tao Qian in Xuzhou was nervous about reorganizing the army, for fear that Cao Cao would fight directly.

However, after Cao Cao took the county, he did not have any intention of expanding to the surrounding areas, but focused on rectifying the governance of the county, adjusting the administrative officials of the county, issuing decrees to actively restore production, and at the same time recruiting talents in the countryside.

But within two days, an edict suddenly came from Chang'an, appointing Cao Cao as the Taishou of Qianjun, and in charge of the military and political affairs of Chenjun, Liang and Peiguo, at the same time, the Son of Heaven also issued an edict to recognize the appointment and dismissal of Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Gongsun Zan and others, and appointed Yuan Shu as Henan Yin and Luoyang Ling, Dongjun Taicode directly appointed Min Chun, Liu Dai as Yanzhou Mu, Liu Yan as Yizhou Mu, Liu Yu as Youzhou Mu, this series of appointments, Dong Zhuo made it clear that he wanted to muddy the waters for the Kwantung clan, but the Kwantung clan could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Although Cao Cao gained control of the three counties in the north in righteousness, Cao Cao did not rush to take over the territory, but still maintained the original official structure of the three counties, and even the garrison did not increase at all, which made Zhang Miao and Liu Dai breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, Cao Cao did not suddenly turn into a good person, but now Cao Cao has only won the county, and it is not appropriate to make enemies everywhere if the foothold is not stable, and he can only practice his internal skills for the time being, which is not deliberately for outsiders to see, in fact, since these three counties have nominally fallen into Cao Cao's hands, unless Zhang Miao and Liu Dai start a war to rob them, otherwise these three places will definitely not be able to escape, so Cao Cao is not in a hurry at all.

The edict of the Son of Heaven finally divided the results of the battle of the Central Plains, judging from the results, Yuan Shao came cleanly, left cleanly, took nothing away, and even lost the two territories of Hanoi and Dongjun, although the boundary between Hongnong and Hedong is large, but Yuan Shao has no ability and no ** to control, not to mention, these two territories are basically the state of thousands of miles of red land.

As for Yuan Shu, on the surface, the greatest results have been obtained, but now the reconstruction of Luoyang, which has been destroyed, is not an asset but a liability, and most of the destroyed Henan Yin will not be able to recover for a while, the population of Yingchuan is seven or eight, and Runan has always been in the midst of war, only Huainan can be said to be relatively stable, but it is too far away from Luoyang.

Unlike the chaotic situation of the Kanto clan, the current situation in Kanzhong is very good.

Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to Luoyang, although he lost most of his subordinates, but now Dong Zhuo's military situation has never been so good, there is Xiongguan to block the enemy in Kwantung, and there is Xiliang as the root to supply war horse sergeants, plus the captured population of Guandong to enrich Guanzhong to develop land, if Dong Zhuo can successfully take Hanzhong and obtain the fertile granary of Hanzhong, Dong Zhuo's annexation of the world will become, and now looking at the heroes of the world, there is no one who can strategically compete with Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was able to go from a side general to today's position, just like the superposition of a series of miracles, which has to admire Li Ru's awesomeness, from this point of view, Li Ru is definitely a top strategic master! rs! ~!
