Yuan Shu's current situation seems to be far worse than Yuan Shaolai's.

Not only because Sun Jian, the most powerful general in his hand, was killed, but also because Nanyang, the base of his survival, has basically been divided between Liu Biao and the Xiliang Army, especially Wancheng, which is the most elite of Nanyang County, and its surrounding areas have fallen into the hands of Liu Biao, and now only a few counties in the northeast are still in the hands of Yuan Shu.

However, in the face of Liu Biaojun, who is in full swing, it seems that it is only a matter of time before it is lost.

Is this kind of Yuan Shu, such a Yuan Shu who was beaten by the Jingzhou Army and the Xiliang Army and fled, still worthy of the attention of others?

This question may be a question that does not need to be answered in the eyes of modern people, especially in the game, the ability value of this descendant of the same fourth world and three princes is far worse than his half-brother, and the military generals under his command cannot be compared with Jizhou, and the other plane will become the same public enemy of the world as Dong Zhuo for a well-known reason, and his actions are definitely among the top three in the Three Kingdoms, compared to Wang Yun's actions are completely pediatric.

But such a lord is regarded as a big trouble by the current Yuan Shao, doesn't it feel a little incredible?

Actually, that's not the case.

Because aside from his personal ability and the ability of his subordinates, the conditions for Yuan Shao's rise are almost exactly the same as Yuan Shu's.

Although a battle against Dong added a lot of points to Yuan Shao, but in the face of Yuan Shu, who is a descendant of the famous Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, in Yuan Shao's opinion, even the most optimistic estimate is just to reverse the disadvantages originally brought about by the difference in identity, but if you want to completely get rid of Yuan Shu, it is not enough to rely on Yuan Shao's strength now.

Not to mention Tong Guò's alliance with Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, the power that Yuan Shu could mobilize on the surface was far greater than the alliance with Liu Biao on the surface, plus Yuan Shao, who also had a younger brother named Cao Ying.

After all, Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, and his eyes have never left the supreme throne in Chang'an City, and his uncertain surname is higher than that of Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian. Moreover, the strength of Jingzhou Biao is not weaker than that of Jizhou, which was controlled by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Biao's reputation in Confucianism is also extremely high, and there may be a hidden struggle for dominance between the two sides.

And don't forget, Yuan Shu certainly lost the important Nanyang Basin, but with Sun Jian's death, Yuzhou, which was originally Yuan Shu's "lease" to Sun Jian, returned to his name, and the geographical conditions of Yuzhou are not worse than Jizhou, and Yanzhou in the north and Yangzhou in the south, if it is properly developed, it can also gather capital to achieve hegemony.

Therefore, at least judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao and his own forces are stronger, while Yuan Shu's side has a stronger external force. But in either case, the gap between the two sides is very limited.

The perspective of contemporary people is naturally different from that of future people, so in the eyes of most wealthy families and even ordinary people, the current Han is completely a contest between the two Yuan.

As for Li Shushi?

Maybe it's a weighty weight in this contest, or maybe it's just a passerby passing by with soy sauce.

Well, even if Li Shushi is so busy, in the eyes of the Central Plains, this country boy who is also from the "border land" is only Dong Zhuo's second at most. Dong Zhuo has been played to death, how big a wave can Li Shushi make?

This is not the family's empty eyes, but the family's absolute confidence in its own strength, confident that any prince wants to seize the world must rely on them, even if some families rise and some families decline in this process, but for the entire family class, they who basically monopolize knowledge will inevitably have a huge voice in national governance.

When fighting for the world, the generals may still have some role, but after the establishment of the country, if those families that have risen because of martial arts do not move closer to the family, the result can only be excluded and marginalized by the inner circle.

Not to mention that the family can also rely on better nutrition, more inheritance to create more military honors.

In this case, without being pushed to the top of their heads by the sword, the families will not give up their arrogance.

But to be honest, Yuan Shu's appearance is not really that bad.

Although the loss of the rich Nanyang was a big blow to Yuan Shu, he still used the land of Nanyang to successfully cause a huge rift between the Jingzhou army and the Xiliang army.

Of course, there is of course Yuan Shu's careful provocation in this, but it has to be admitted that the Xiliang Army without Dong Zhuo's restraint is a group of wolves that have lost their head wolves, and they have a greater attack surname while they have no target, and the only person who can make this group of wolves recover their surnames has given up their obligations for some reason, so under the combined effect of various internal and external factors, the fact that the Xiliang Army raided the Jingzhou Army for the spoils of war was caused.

All of a sudden, the Jingzhou army, which had not had time to celebrate its basic unification of the entire Jingzhou, had to face tremendous pressure from the Xiliang army, and the fact that several encounters were at a disadvantage made the Jingzhou army generals who had defeated Yuan Shu's army and had some hot heads calm down, and even a few people had suffered from some kind of phobia about the cavalry troops in Xiliang.

However, relying on the river network and the temporarily reinforced city defense of Wancheng, as well as the time difference when the main force of the Xiliang Army was still busy with the internal affairs of Xiliang, the Jingzhou Army was able to maintain the battle line and took the opportunity to move the population of the northern part of Nanyang to the south.

From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after the Jiangxia Mutiny, Sun Jianqiang killed Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi, the battle of Dong for Nanyang's harassment, Yuan Shu's excessive exploitation of the Nanyang region until now in order to keep the fruits of victory and take the great relocation, etc., over the years, the original population of millions, the family is innumerable, and the accumulation of wealth is countless, Nanyang, in this round after round of washing the ground gradually decayed, and the prosperity of the past has also become a yellow flower.

This is really embarrassing.

However, the decline of Nanyang led to the rise of two other princes – one was naturally the ruler of most of Nanyang, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and the other was Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, who accepted the displaced people from Nanyang and even the Central Plains through Guò and grew in strength.

Although the latter suffered a lot of losses in the Chang'an Rebellion, Tongguò accepted displaced people from Sanfu and Nanyang, and at the same time, Tongguò bouged, assassinated, and even married a large number of southwestern minority tribes such as Qiang, Di, Yi, and Suo, and these people formed two troops, the former was known as the Dongzhou soldiers and the latter was called the Xizhou soldiers.

The common denominator of both forces is poor discipline and extreme brutality. Although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the world's strongest armies such as the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, it is more than enough to pacify those powerful families in Yizhou who are dissatisfied with Liu Yan's rule.

And if the battlefield is placed in the mountains of Yizhou, the strength that those Xizhou soldiers can wield should not be underestimated.

Ahem, it seems a bit off-topic, so let's turn our eyes back to Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu found an opponent to the north of Liu Biao that he had to pay 120 percent of his energy to deal with, and the preservation of the Western Liang Army alone allowed most of the main force of the Jingzhou Army to be pinned down on the line from Xiangyang to Nanyang, and Jiangling, which was also extremely important, was exposed in this way.

So, Yuan Shu made a second move.

And this chess piece that was played out was Liu Biao's general, Zhang Xian from Nanyang.

Zhang Xian came from a family surnamed Zhang in Nanyang, and served as the county magistrate of Guiyang and Lingling in his early years, with good political achievements, and had a considerable reputation in the Jingnan generation, especially good at communicating and pacifying ethnic minorities in Jingnan.

Because Liu Biao killed Sun Jian at the beginning, the gentry of Changsha County, where Sun Jian once served, were very hostile to Liu Biao, and they missed all the benefits of Sun Jian's time in Changsha. So under the instigation of the local powerful Su Dai, the gentry and people of Changsha soon elected Su Dai as the Taishou of Changsha and raised troops to rebel against Liu Biao.

Although the rebellion of the Su Dynasty was quickly quelled by the Jingzhou army, which was in full swing at that time, the antagonism between the gentry and the common people of Changsha and Liu Biao did not ease because of this, but seemed to have a tendency to intensify.

In desperation, Liu Biao had no choice but to accept Zhang Xian, who had a good official reputation and excellent stability maintenance ability, to be the Taishou of Changsha.

If the story goes on to this point, then judging from Zhang Xian's reputation, he should not rebel against Liu Biao, who has the grace of knowing him, even if Yuan Shu's meticulous work spreads rumors all over the sky, and Yuan Shu's lobbyist has the ability to reverse right and white to break through the sky.

But the next qiē, we can really only describe it as bandits.

Zhang Xian was born in a Nanyang family, and the genealogy also recorded the name of the famous minister Zhang Heng, although he failed to become a high-ranking official like two thousand stones, but he was also regarded as a famous man in Jingzhou, so he was a little arrogant.

This kind of arrogance towards ordinary people will not reveal too much, because it will make him too shallow, but when he meets Liu Biao, this kind of bone thing begins to spread outward.

At first, Liu Biao was able to tolerate the other party in order to give him his life, but it didn't take long for the two to have a strict disagreement on the handling of those who participated in the last rebellion in Changsha. Liu Biao naturally hoped to severely punish those rebels and set an example, but Zhang Xian thought that the gentry and people who had participated in the rebellion should be appeased.

The two had a fierce quarrel over this, and in the end, Liu Biao even demanded that Zhang Xian must kill a large number of people in the name of Jingzhou Mu, and if he didn't kill people, then he would have his head. But this Zhang Xian is also a bull temper, as long as he is energetic, even the emperor Lao'er will not be in his eyes, let alone a suspicious Liu Biao.

Although Zhang Xian's fame in the Jingnan area was too great, Liu Biao finally gave up the idea of letting his head move, but he was not allowed to continue to stay in the position of Changsha Taishou.

But before Liu Biao could find a suitable replacement, Yuan Shu negotiated with Zhang Xian, or the two sides could be said to hit it off on the issue of confronting Liu Biao. And because of Zhang Xian's prestige in Jingnan, this time he followed his rebellion not only the gentry and people in Changsha, but also the people and barbarians of the other three counties in Jingnan also joined his ranks.

Trapped in the dilemma that the main force was pinned down in the north, Liu Biao really did not have the extra troops to crusade against the rebellion in the south.

Fortunately, if the other party wants to attack the Jingbei region, it needs to cross the surging Yangtze River and the huge and complex Yunmengze, and in the face of the huge warships of the Jingzhou naval army, the rebels obviously cannot come up with enough equipment to resist, and the northward advance has become an empty word.

Although Jingnan's rebellion seemed to be unable to shake Liu Biao's rule over Jingbei at all, it was precisely because Jingnan's rebels restrained most of Jingzhou's naval army's energy and made it impossible to estimate the changes in its eastern neighbor Yangzhou, allowing Yuan Shu enough time to develop his own layout in Yangzhou, and at the same time completely locked Liu Biao's exhibition space.

Therefore, after ensuring the safety of his surroundings, Yuan Shu naturally did not forget to "take care" of his "good" brother.

In fact, Yuzhou should have been the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban Army, not only because Li Shushi had "fought" here, but also because when the Yellow Turban Army swarmed, because most areas of Yuzhou were far away from Jizhou and Nanyang, the core areas of the Taiping Dao Exhibition, a large number of bandits and bandits took the opportunity to mix into the ranks of the Yellow Turban Army, and even because their combat effectiveness was higher than that of ordinary people, they were more likely to be relied on by those Yellow Turban Army commanders.

These people don't look like good citizens who would give up this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Although Li Shushi had ruthlessly cleaned up these dregs that ruined the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army in the Battle of Yingchuan that year, it was only a drop in the ocean. And with the death of Zhang Jiao and the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, more and more Yellow Turban soldiers devoted themselves to the old profession of those people in order to survive.

Of course, there are also those who have taken refuge in the local tyrants and become their private soldiers—one side provides land and food to ensure their survival and even development, and the other side provides its own force and surname to protect the interests of the hired people and even more for them.

Even among those Yellow Turban troops who gathered in the mountains and forests, there were many cases of collusion with local heroes, and even some mountains were funded by local heroes to complete some "disgraceful" things.

It can be said that the number of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou is nominally not much less than that of Yanqing Erzhou, and the hidden ones are even more incalculable, and the destructive power is definitely not inferior to that of the Yellow Turban Army in Yanqing and other places.

What is jaw-dropping is that although Yuzhou was affected to a certain extent at the beginning of the chaos, but soon with the emergence of He Yi, He Man, Liu Bi, Gong Du and other Yellow Turban military commanders, the military rebellion in Yuzhou actually showed signs of subsidence.

Those who participated in the rebellion in Yuzhou gradually gathered under the command of these emerging Yellow Turban commanders, and even if there were occasional small remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who were unwilling to accept their leadership, they would be quickly wiped out. Gradually, these commanders had tens of thousands of troops in their hands, and more than 10,000 at the bottom, and each of them had a large number of troops.

After that, it seems that it is not surprising that the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, under the leadership of these commanders, swung north.

As for how many brain cells Yuan Shao will consume for this, and how many shows he scratches off because of this, it is not humane.

However, it is certain that there is at least one person who has put more thought into this matter than Yuan Shao.

Of course, it is certain that there is at least more than one person who is more unlucky than Yuan Shao in this matter.

For example, the Lord Thorn Shi from Yanzhou cut down the Taishou Bridge of Dongjun and slaughtered Liu Dai and Liu Gongshan of the other party's three clans.

Another example is the general Bao Xin Bao Yuncheng, who is also a die-hard supporter of Yuan Shao and has the same ability to command troops.

If there are some inevitable factors in the death of the former, the death of the latter is really ...... There is also a sense of inevitability.

In an inconspicuous small dark room, there is no light in the room, only a few pairs of eyes that are constantly rolling from time to time to reveal a little seeping light, which makes people feel a kind of gloomy and cold.

"Bao Yuncheng is finally dead, so not only Yuan Benchu lost another arm, but also brought us more than 10,000 elite soldiers and good generals under Yuncheng, so that there should be no more people against me in the entire Yanzhou."

"The lord was wise, using the Yellow Turban Army to set a trap, taking Bao Yuncheng and a small number of elite cavalry to Shouzhang to set up an ambush, but he ordered General [Beep] to delay the footsteps of the infantry and archers, so that when the Yellow Turban rebel army arrived at the battlefield, the main force of our army was still quite far from the battlefield. Later, after convincing Yuncheng to lead the army, the lord could calmly arrange, so that Bao Yuncheng would die without a place to be buried. ”

"That's not the most exciting. The most amazing thing about our auction is that the lord not only forced the 300,000 yellow scarves to land the remnants of the yellow scarf, but also offered a heavy reward for Bao Yuncheng's bones, but he got nothing, so he had to be buried in the soil with a wood carving, which greatly moved the soldiers of Najibei. Looking at that scene, even if the lord asked them to die immediately, they would not hesitate for a moment. ”

A similar conspiracy seems to be going on with the "......".

And when the door of the small black house was opened, and the three black-hearted and ruthless guys in the house walked out, we could finally see their faces clearly - Cao Mengde, a black-skinned dwarf who was not a good thing at first glance, Xun Yu Xun Wenruo, a [beep] madman with a short face and a short beard and a penchant who liked to wear sachets, and Chen Gongtai, a tall but obscene-looking disciple of the master, Chen Gong Chen Gongtai......

"Anyway, who spread the rumors, this is really damaging enough."

Looking at the information in his hand, Li Shushi said that it was really not easy for him to be able to endure the smile until now.

"The death of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin is indeed a little suspicious, although it is impossible to determine that someone deliberately framed him with these things that catch the wind and shadows, but some things do not need conclusive evidence, and it is estimated that the person who released the rumors just wants to drive a wedge between Yuan Benchu and Cao Mengde. After all, the current situation in Yanzhou is a bit delicate. ”

This time, it was not the usual Jia Xu or Cheng Yu who reported to Li Shushi, but a sunny young man.

Young handsome pot.

Although Ping Yueli's demeanor was a little frivolous, when he became serious, the smile with confidence and a little evil charm even Li Shushi felt a little dazzling, which made people ashamed of themselves.

At the same time, behind Li Shushi, who couldn't see, a girl was looking at the young man with complicated eyes, like resentment, infatuation, and hesitation...... It's just a qiē, Li Shushi didn't see it, and the young man turned a blind eye.
