Chapter 918: The Chaotic World at the End of the Han Dynasty

Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, was immersed in the wonderful content of the three volumes of the newly obtained "Taiping Qing Lingdao", and the entire Yellow Turban Collar was as quiet and low-key as ever, but the world outside was gradually changing.

The princely forces that have obtained the various rune production and living utensils of the Yellow Turban Collar have developed rapidly in just five years, and their strength has grown extremely amazingly.

Even Youzhou, the so-called bitter cold land of the border fortress, with the help of a large number of rune production equipment, has also had bumper harvests every year in recent years, and has become a veritable grain-producing state.

In the era of hegemony, there are soldiers when there is money and food in the hands, and the waist pole is naturally very hard.

With strength and abundant food and grass support, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally to expand the territory and enhance the power.

No one in Qingzhou dared to think about it, but the surrounding area was the target of these princes.

Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Qingzhou Tian Kai didn't have any ideas about the heartland of the Han Dynasty, and even if they had ideas, they had to go past the two princes of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao first.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were both world-famous princes, and they felt that their strength had increased rapidly, and they set their eyes on the real Yuzhou in the heart of the Central Plains.

As long as Yuzhou or part of it is taken, it will completely open the expansion channel to the south and west.

And Yuzhou, which has long been harmed by Yuan Shu's stupidity, has become a ruin, and it has a larger population than the previous Qingzhou, which is typical in terms of chaos.

The forces of Lao Cao and Lao Yuan have shifted the direction of expansion, and Yuzhou bore the brunt of it, and it was annexed by the two families in the blink of an eye, and even a little wave was set off.

With logistical weapons such as old-fashioned talismans, the combat power of the two armies has soared sharply, which is the broken Yuzhou stragglers can fight?

It's just that after the partition of Yuzhou, I don't know if it was because of the relationship of interests, the relationship between the two families quickly turned cold, and the atmosphere was very tense.

I don't know how the two families discussed it privately, but the final result was that Lao Cao took the initiative to retreat and transferred the power in his hands to the already ruined land of Heluo.

Yuan Shao was not polite at all, he directly won most of Yuzhou, and even cut off part of the territory of Gunzhou from Lao Cao, and the territory he owned suddenly expanded to the size of two large states.

For a time, the haze of the defeat on the Qinghai-Hebei border five years ago was swept away, and the momentum of the northern heroes rose again.

"He's a smart man!"

When Lei Hu regularly went out to deal with the important affairs of the Yellow Turban Collar, he heard the news and praised Lao Cao's concession very much, and thought that this guy's move was very necessary.

Don't think that in normal history, Lao Cao won the battle of Guandu and thought that his strength was very strong.

On the contrary, before the Battle of Guandu, the forces of Lao Cao and Lao Yuan were not comparable at all, and there was a huge gap in terms of territory, military strength, or resources, just like Cao Wei and Sun Wu in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, and Lao Cao's forces were at an absolute disadvantage.

The battle of Guandu was also won by extreme luck, which was caused by Yuan Shaozhi's complacency and the carelessness of his generals, and it was not a reflection of the real strength of the two families.

And at the end of the Han Dynasty in this world, Lao Yuan was severely beaten on the Qinghai-Hebei border five years ago, and his mind was absolutely sober, and he would not have any complacent and proud emotions at all.

With the assistance of the two top strategists in the world, Fu Zhi and Tian Feng, the combat power of the people under his command is also quite sharp, but it is not an existence that Lao Cao can deal with.

Ju Yi, the number one general in Jizhou, in addition to the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, who is sure to overturn, looking at the entire northern princes, which one is sure to win.

Lao Cao Yiganzi's clan brothers are extremely powerful, whether it is Xiahou Dun or Xiahou Yuan, or Cao Ren and Cao Hong and others, at least they all have the strength of second-rate peak generals, and the Xiahou brothers even have the martial arts of half-step peerless generals.

Coupled with Li Dianle Jin and others, who took the initiative to recruit, in terms of the number of generals and the level of strength, they are just a step worse than Lao Yuan, but the combat effectiveness of the army is not comparable at all.

With a single multi-million scale euphorbia, there is no army under Lao Cao that can compete.

is still the same sentence, as long as Yuan Shao himself does not have problems, Jizhou's strength is much stronger than Lao Cao's Gunzhou.

The two families are learning the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and they have spent a lot of money to purchase a lot of rune production and living utensils, and they can't completely open the gap in just five years, and Lao Cao will only have a dead end if he doesn't retreat.

This is the gap between Lao Cao and Lao Yuan, which cannot be made up in a short period of time.

Taking a step back and opening up the sea and the sky is not a joke, Lao Cao transferred the power in his hand to a ruined Heluo land, which is definitely not a wrong move at the moment.

It not only gave Yuan Shao face, but also left himself room for maneuver, and at the same time had enough room for development.

Lei Hu could see that as long as Yuan Shao was not dizzy, Lao Cao basically didn't have to count on dyeing in rich places such as Daoyang and Jingzhou, and Lao Yuan would definitely not allow Lao Cao to stretch out his hand.

But Lao Cao placed the power in his hands in the land of Heluo, but he had the possibility of entering the Guanzhong.

Although Guanzhong is dilapidated, after all, it has a very promising future, as long as it can control Guanzhong, Lao Cao's power will also be extremely amazingly improved, and at that time, if he competes with Lao Yuan, at least it will not be much weaker in terms of momentum.

Lei Hu is very optimistic about Lao Cao's development potential, not because of the performance of this person in the official history, but because of the intelligence of his forces.

According to the intelligence of Lao Cao's forces collected by the spies, this guy was surprisingly bold, and he didn't pay attention to the possible backlash at all, and even began to imitate the development model of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar.

Agricultural production, commercial development, and urban development are all modeled on the yellow turban collar, which is at least six or seven percent.

Lao Cao has a sharp eye, and in the past five years, he has spent a lot of money to purchase a large number of agricultural rune production equipment from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, imitating the agricultural development model of the Yellow Turban Collar, and engaging in a large-scale agricultural production movement in the territory.

Such a move naturally annoyed the clans and local tycoons in the territory, because most of the land resources in Lao Cao's territory were in their hands.

Once the rune agriculture development model is initiated, it will not only require a large amount of field resources, but also release countless young and strong laborers attached to the land.

How the great families and local magnates embody their authority, are firmly bound to the land, and the hundreds of people who depend on these lands for their survival are the best foundations.

Once they are unhappy, they can make a place unpeaceful with a casual move of their fingers, whether it is the order of production and life will be out of control, and at the same time they also control public opinion, whether it is the direct damage or impact is very huge, this is the capital that the family and the local tyrants can run amok.

Lao Cao's actions, although they can help the family and local tycoons to a higher level in terms of economic interests, are actually weakening their control and influence over the local area in disguise.

It is also because there is some chaos inside the territory from time to time, which seriously interferes with the development speed of Lao Cao's imitation of the development model of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, otherwise with the crazy speed of the Yellow Turban Collar's original accumulation of grain and grass, Lao Cao at this time has definitely pulled Yuan Shao's Jizhou Group away from the boss in terms of money and grain.

Obviously, Lao Cao was very dissatisfied with this, but he didn't spare his hand when suppressing the internal rebellion, and destroyed the family and exterminated the clan at every turn, and the relationship with the big families in the territory was very stiff for a while.

Lei Hu even suspected that this guy transferred his forces to the already barren Heluo region in order to avoid the interference of the family clan and local tyrants, so that the ruin-like Heluo area could develop and grow according to the model of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar.

It is precisely because the Heluo area is already a ruin, the family and local powerful forces here have long been swept away, and how similar is the environment of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban at the beginning, as long as it is developed according to the development model of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, I believe that it will not take long to reach the atmosphere when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar participated in the conquest of Yuan Shu.

Don't doubt Lao Cao's ability, even if he doesn't have such an existence as a Taiping Taoist in his hands, but the spell is not exclusive to the Taiping Taoist, he can also find other magic branches to replace it.

Although Lei Hu is optimistic about Lao Cao's development potential, he does not have the slightest worry about the enemy.

Although Lao Cao is a hero, there is only so much he can do, and it is impossible to really completely imitate the policy of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, at least in terms of universal education, it will definitely not stimulate the nerves of the world's families.

Without this piece, there will be a rather bad impact on the follow-up talent training, as well as a series of plans, but Lao Cao doesn't dare to do it, or he is helpless when he sees it, because he is a member of the family group, and it is impossible to take the initiative to turn his back on the position of the family.

At most, with its ability, it may make the power strong for a while, and with the power of the family holding back, don't expect to have the possibility of sustainable development at all.

Even, the development bottleneck of Lao Cao's territory is very clear and clear, and it has little impact on the rapidly developing Qingzhou Yellow Turban Collar, but it may be that he can unify Heluo and the northwest region of Guanzhong, and he can achieve a hegemony like the official history.

But that's it, Lei Hu will not allow the rapid unification of the world for the time being, at least he has to think about the development path of the yellow turban collar.

He still hasn't figured out how to go after the yellow scarf collar.

If the development model of the yellow turban collar is promoted to the whole world, it will take at least a thousand years.

Lei Hu was really not interested in this, and at the same time, he also had a faint sense in his heart, this world would definitely not be as simple as what appeared in front of him.

The aura of heaven and earth is much richer than that of the previous cultivation world, and the restraint on the monks is too terrifying, and Lei Hu estimates that the great power that can be accommodated, at least at the level of a golden immortal.

However, the whole 'world' has never heard of such a existence.

Besides, Zhang Jiao can be mixed into a heavenly immortal, so what about the sages of the hundred schools of thought recorded in the history books, is the strength of each one more terrifying?

And to be able to reach the immortal level, the lifespan is obviously in 10,000 years, and it can easily live from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, right?
