Compared with the "instigating" people such as Yuan Shu and Zhang Wen who admit defeat and retreat, today's Cao Cao and Liu Bei are high-spirited and marching forward.

In order to win the support and trust of Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, the three pillars of the army, Liu Bei and Cao Cao secretly did not know how much work they had done and made a few promises, which won the understanding and trust of the three of them.

In order to dispel the doubts of Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, Liu Bei and Cao Cao just played the trick of combining vertical and horizontal outside the division, but they gave the entire division area to the three bigwigs.

In order to win over and appease the Huangfu family, as soon as the new general Cao Cao Fu took office, he started to worship Huangfu Song as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and named the Marquis of Bo Wang; the new prime minister Liu Bei also started the Son of Heaven at the same time, and named Huangfu Song's eldest son, Huangfu Jianshou, as the general of Zhenxi and the Marquis of Guannei, and the son of Huangfu Song as Jingzhao Yin, and directly assigned the three rich and fertile lands of Zuo Feng Yi, Right Fufeng and Jing Zhao Yin to the west of Tongguan to the Huangfu family.

The three titles of Hussar General, Che Cavalry General and Wei General are also known as "Three Duke Generals", which means that Huangfu Song's current military position is comparable to the position of the Three Princes in the court, only below the Great General, after the Hussar General.

Since Cao Liu gave such a high "treatment" and honor to Huangfu Song's family, he naturally would not leave behind the two bigwigs, Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun.

Lu Zhi's own political treatment has exceeded that of the three dukes, and he is the prince of the dynasty, so he naturally cannot be sealed again, but his descendant deputy general Zongren was worshiped by the imperial court as General Wei and sealed the internal marquis, and his son Lu Yu gave the post of Henan Yin, not only continued to control the Northern Army, but also included Hedong County, Hongnong County and Henan Yin into Lu Zhi's descendant sphere of influence.

Zhu Jun was awarded the title of hussar general by the imperial court, second only to the general, as the Marquis of Shanyang, and continued to lead the southern army. His son Zhu Hao gave Wei County the post of Taishou and worshiped as the general of Anbei who was the third grade. At the same time, the imperial court also assigned Hedong County, Jizhou Wei County, Qinghe State, Zhao State and Julu County in the Sili region to Zhu Jun's jurisdiction.

The reason why Cao Cao and Liu Bei were so generous and threw so many big hats to the tripartite forces of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun was not only because they needed to go out to win over and appease, but also because they wanted these three bigwigs to continue to be on the front line against Zhao Xing and work hard for them.

The old treacherous and cunning Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, they know very well in their hearts that even if the entire Sili region plus the southern part of Jizhou are nominally assigned to these three bigwigs, they will never have the idea of supporting the army and separating one side, let alone the willingness to fall to Zhao Xing.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei can see clearly that Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are actually the same kind of people in their bones, that is, the kind of "old stubborn donkey" who is loyal to the Han royal family for the sake of fame, even if Zhao Xing promises them great benefits to lure, or threatens to dig up their ancestral graves, it will not change the determination of these three people to maintain their loyal and honorable reputations.

There are three old guys on the front line of anti-Zhao, and that is simply the best.

Today's Pingxi King Zhao Guochang wants to have soldiers, people, power, and power, but because he did not find a high-sounding reason to launch the Central Plains War, he gave Cao Cao and Liu Bei and others space and time to move. As long as Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun defend the land with peace of mind and don't leave any truth for Zhao Xing, even if Zhao Xing hoards more troops in the north, he will only have to stare dryly, unless Zhao Xing doesn't care about the opinions of the people in the world and brazenly launches a war to subvert the Han family.

After gaining the support of the three bigwigs in the DPRK and China, Cao Cao and Liu Bei made a series of drastic personnel changes and consolidation of forces in order to consolidate the rich rewards of their political alliance.

Above the court, although the new lieutenant He Jin who was overlooked, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, anyway, when he was a general, he was in vain. Now that he has become the head of the Three Princes, although he still has no troops to mobilize, he doesn't have to be driven out of Luoyang like Zhang Wen. If He Jin didn't know each other, Cao Cao, the general with heavy troops, might have dozens of means to cut down the He clan from Luoyang City.

Liu Yan, another new third duke, was not much better off than He Jin, but he was very content, and happily returned to Luoyang with his son Liu Zhang and his family, and generously accepted the position of commonplace.

Liu Yan has been in charge of Yuzhou for nearly ten years, and the benefits that should be reaped have been sufficient, and the things that should be mixed have also been mixed, since he sent troops to Xuzhou to fight Tao Qian's autumn wind failed, and was firmly established by Zhang Liao's army in Xuzhou, he has thoroughly seen the fact that this kind of awesome thing to dominate the world is not something that his Liu Yan family can afford. Rather than staying in Yuzhou and being encroached upon, it is better to hide back in Luoyang and be a high-ranking Sikong, how can you say that the emperor and the prime minister can't be too difficult, aren't the descendants of the old Liu family?

Liu Yan, the new Sikong who can afford to let go, only took a team of hundreds of family private soldiers with him when he left Yuzhou, and he also had the generals Pang Xi and the famous Zang Hong by his side. In order to obtain Liu Bei's care in the court in the future, Liu Yan recommended his subordinates Pan Feng, Chen Zhi and Wu Zhen and the scribe Chen Jiao to Liu Bei, and also divided the 60,000 troops retained in Yuzhou into two, 30,000 people were given to Cao Cao for nothing, and 30,000 were left to Liu Bei.

Liu Yan's gift was very large, and he won the appreciation of Prime Minister Liu Bei and General Cao Cao at that time, so after returning to Luoyang, he still got a bowl of power broth above the court, which can be described as a great joy.

Yuan Shu returned to Nanyang and Liu Yan returned to Luoyang, and suddenly gave up the hinterland of the Central Plains, Yuzhou and Yangzhou, which were close to each other, and Liu Bei and Cao Cao naturally did not be polite, and immediately sent their capable generals to receive the fruits of victory.

Cao Cao sent his general Xiahou Yuan and his advisers Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai to Yuzhou, unceremoniously took over Chen, Liang, Pei, Lu and other places, and advanced the territory under his actual control to the south for 800 miles.

Although Liu Bei has reached the pinnacle of power, but he does not have a piece of his own territory, this time I don't know how to persuade Cao Cao, and even made Cao Heizi agree to his idea of fighting Yangzhou alone and sharing Yuzhou. Zhang Fei, who was originally a deputy commander under Zhu Jun, finally withdrew from the battlefield in the north and went to Yuzhou to receive the 30,000 troops under Liu Yan and the surrender of Chen Zhi, Pan Feng, Wu Zhen and others;

What really surprised Zhao Xing was that this time Liu Bei was willing to send Zhuge Liang, Chen Qun, Chen Zhen and others to accompany Han Rong to Yangzhou, and seemed to be very confident that he would clean up the mess left by Yuan Shu.

Although Zhao Xing was very surprised and surprised that the situation had developed to this point, it was far from the goal set by Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Jingzhou, with its vast territory, abundant grain and dense population, was the ultimate goal of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. As long as Jingzhou is taken, the Cao-Liu alliance can be connected with the Sima family to the west, and Sun Jian's territory in Wuzhou can be encroached on to the east, and Zhao Xing will be maneuvered with the Yangtze River and millions of soldiers.
