Chen Liucheng changed his banner, announcing that Lu Bu's forces had completely withdrawn from the political arena.

The coalition composed of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Han Sui, and Gongsun Zhan finally won the victory against Lü Bu.

Cao Cao paid the greatest price, but also occupied the greatest results, Cao Cao in this war, obtained the Liang State, Jiyin, Shanyang, Rencheng, Peiguo five counties of all the territory, as well as Chenliu County's Yuan County, Jiwu, and Taishan County Zou County south of the area, it can be said that it is a bumper harvest, as well as including Fu Zhu, Yan Xiang, Li Feng, Yang General, Kong Ling, Zhang Xun, Wei Xu and a large number of talents of allegiance, the most important thing is to seize the Son of Heaven, from then on, Cao Cao can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!

Liu Bei is the second largest harvest, and Liu Bei almost did not pay any price, and obtained all of Henan Yin, the east of Hongnong, most of Chen Liu, the west of Baima in Dong County, and the territory of the entire Hanoi County, as well as the investment of Pang Yuan, Hou Cheng, Chen Ji, Liu Xun and others, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest.

Yuan Shao suffered a loss, in addition to recovering Taishan County, the northern part of Lu County, and the eastern part of Jibei County, he also lost the territory in the southern part of Wei County, however, Yuan Shao also removed one of the biggest abdominal troubles, leaving one Han Sui, Yuan Shao felt that he was still somewhat sure.

Look at Han Sui again, now he has the entire Dongping County, as well as Dunqiu and Tangyin in Wei County, Yecheng in Dongjun, Dong'e and Gucheng in Jibei, and the territory is not small, next, Han Sui should consider how to survive in the gap between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

As for Gongsun Chan, he gained almost nothing, and even gave up the western part of Hanoi County, which he had just occupied, because it was a chicken rib at all. A series of earth-shaking changes in the Central Plains told Gongsun Chan that his strength is not good now, and he must bury his head in development and accumulate strength. Otherwise, even if it was as cheap as the Central Plains War, he didn't have the ability to pick it up, but it turned out to be cheaper than Liu Bei's big-eared thief.

Now that the Central Plains is basically divided between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Yuan Shao also accounts for some, as for Han Sui, everyone doesn't really see him as a dish, whether he can survive in the cracks. It all depends on whether Han Sui will see the wind and rudder, or simply surrender to one of the forces.

Judging from the territory, it is naturally Cao Cao who is the best. The rich land of the Central Plains almost all fell into the hands of Cao Cao, followed by Liu Bei, after the war. Both of them have a population of about 10 million. In addition, it occupies a rich land, as long as it continues to develop quietly, its strength will definitely be greatly improved.

However, due to the decrease in opponents, the contradictions between these princes, especially between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, became more and more obvious, from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, such a large area is the border between the two sides. No matter how you look at it, these two guys can't stop. Therefore, as soon as the war ended here, the envoys from both sides began to be dispatched.

The first thing to fight for was naturally Yuan Shao, Han Sui, Gongsun Zhan, Huangfu Song and Sima Fang, and Cao Cao even sent envoys to Liu Yan and Sun Ce, the purpose was nothing more than to persuade these people to besiege Liu Bei. Similarly, Liu Bei, at the suggestion of Pang Yuan, also sent a large number of envoys to try to persuade the princes around Cao Cao to unite against Cao Cao, and a new war had already begun before this war ended.

Of course, Zhang Liang, who was sandwiched between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and Zhang Bao, who was sandwiched between Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Kong Rong, were also the objects that everyone fought for.

Not to mention that Zhang Liang is working harder to attack Cao Cao as a bargaining chip, negotiating with Liu Bei, intending to deepen the connection between the two sides, just talking about Zhang Bao of Mount Tai, Zhang Bao is now in a bad situation, and he is in danger!

When Zhang Bao was the most brilliant, there was half of Taishan County, the entire Dongguan County, Langya County, Chengyang County and Donghai Kingdom, but now, only one Laiwu in Taishan County is still in control, and the others have been recaptured by Gao Gan, as for Donghai County, it has been completely occupied by Cao Cao, and Chengyang County is already the head of Zhao and Wenpin, and Zhang Bao's hands are only Dongguan and Langya Two Counties.

And in this narrow mountainous area of Mount Tai, he also needs to face the strong enemies of the three sides, these are the most powerful princes today, and what is even more pitiful is that no matter how Mount Tai is developed, it is also a mountainous area, and it is impossible to be self-sufficient in food, and a large number of people captured by Zhang Bao must be fed, not to mention the war, it is not easy for Zhang Bao to feed these populations.

Now that the Central Plains War has come to an end, Zhang Bao knows that everyone will re-examine their side, and Zhang Bao has undoubtedly become the most fleshy character, and Zhang Bao is still very self-aware of this.

These days, Cao Cao's envoy has come, Yuan Shao's envoy has come, Liu Bei's envoy has also come, their intentions are different, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are to join forces with Zhang Bao to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao's purpose is naturally to persuade him to surrender, Zhang Bao is also very contradictory now, of course he tends to ally with Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, but Zhang Bao is not stupid enough to believe the words of these two big liars, let Zhang Bao provoke Cao Cao, this difficulty is indeed a bit big.

There is also Zhang Liang, he also sent a messenger Jiang Yong to persuade himself to cooperate with Zhang Liang to attack Cao Cao, but Zhang Bao did not have that kind of confidence, let Jiang Yong say that the sky was broken, Zhang Liang's assistance to Zhang Bao had no roots, and Yuan Shao could at least get some grain and grass equipment to tempt and tempt, Zhang Liang just came with a mouth!

What's more, Zhang Bao was scared by Cao Cao, Zhang Bao never won under Cao Cao, so he simply lost Donghai County, and now let Zhang Bao tease Cao Cao again, Zhang Bao really doesn't have the guts.

In the past few days, Zhang Bao is difficult to sleep, and his mood is even more irritable, and the concubines who are sleeping are unlucky, fortunately, Zhang Bao does not have the habit of killing people indiscriminately, but it is indispensable to be beaten and abused.

"Second general, a messenger has arrived."

Zhang Bao, who was reciting the Taiping Sutra in the quiet room, opened his eyes, and felt a burst of irritability for no reason.

"Who is it?! Could it be that he came to persuade General Ben to attack Cao Cao again? ”

"No, it's Fang Zhiwen's person."

"Fang Zhiwen, what are his people doing?"

"I don't know, if the second general sees him, if not, his subordinates will send him."

Zang Ba's voice outside was a little helpless, the current situation is not good, everyone's mood is not very good, and Zang Ba is no exception.

Zhang Bao was silent for a while, and then said, "Please come to the reception room, I'll change my clothes later." ”

"No1

Zhang Bao changed his armor, and when he came to the reception room, he saw Zang Ba accompanying the guests in the reception room, a young man with a slender figure and a handsome face was sitting and chatting with Zang Ba, and the young man saw Zhang Bao coming, stood up and bowed his hand.

"Lu Su, the chief officer of the Youzhou Foreign Affairs Department, Lu Zijing, has seen General Zhang."

"It turned out to be Mr. Lu, polite, please sit 1

Zhang Bao returned the salute, the two sat down again, Zang Ba wanted to get up and retreat, Zhang Bao stretched out his hand and called Zang Ba: "Xuan Gao wait, let's listen to what Mr. Zijing is doing." ”

Nuo 1 Zang Ba responded respectfully, stepped back, and knelt behind Zhang Bao.

Lu Su glanced at it and said with a smile: "General Zhang's time is precious, and he will get straight to the point below1."

"That's exactly what I want, Mr. Lu, please say."

Zhang Bao smiled faintly, but Lu Su noticed that Zhang Bao's smile had exhaustion and worry that could not be concealed.

"General Zhang, I am here to make a suggestion to the general on behalf of my lord, suggesting that General Zhang learn from the matter of Zhang Jiaoshou and withdraw from Qingzhou."

"What!?" Zhang Bao was startled, and his body slammed away, but then he took another breath, sat his body back, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then said, "Please Mr. Lu explain it in detail."

Lu Su glanced at Zhang Bao and said with a smile: "Just about to elaborate, General Zhang, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army can be entrenched in Mount Tai is due to two factors, one is that the Yellow Turban Army can unite internally, and the other is that there is no strong enemy outside. ”

Zhang Bao thought for a while, nodded and responded: "That's true." ”

Lu Su nodded, Zhang Bao can still know himself correctly, this is very good.

"But now the form is changing, when there is chaos around Mount Tai, General Zhang did not seize the opportunity to develop and grow, but now, the surrounding princes have developed and grown, and the external environment in which the Yellow Turban Army continues to be entrenched in the Mount Tai area is rapidly disappearing, what does General Zhang think about this?"

"This"

Zang Ba pursed his lips secretly, he failed to develop and grow, there is a credit to your father-in-law!

Lu Su seemed to see Zang Ba's thoughts, and smiled slightly at Zang Ba.

"With the deterioration of the external environment, more and more problems will be placed in front of General Zhang, such as food problems, such as internal contradictions caused by the increasing shortage of resources, etc., in the next view, these problems are certainly not obvious now, and some have not even appeared, but once they appear, they will quickly become serious, and even lead to internal strife in your department1

"Impossible, the army and the people under my command are united, and it is absolutely impossible for them to fight among themselves."

"General Zhang, if you reach the situation of eating with a child, won't there be infighting?"

"This Yuan Shao and Liu Bei both promised to provide food, as long as I am an enemy of Cao Cao, this"

"General Zhang, I'm afraid you yourself know that this is actually a plot with the tiger, when General Zhang goes to the East China Sea with the front foot, maybe Yuan Shao will enter Mount Tai with the back foot."

"This Mr. Lu cannot be so arbitrary1

"This is not arbitrary speculation, the key is that Yuan Shao needs General Zhang to exist? Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are directly bordered, and General Zhang cannot be a shield to block Cao Cao, maybe he will be bought by Cao Cao and become an elbow and armpit problem, in this case, what is the use of staying? ”

"What about Liu Bei, we have no harm to Liu Bei, only good 1

Zhang Bao retorted unrelentingly, but it just sounded like he didn't have any confidence! To be continued...
