With the increase in the territory under the jurisdiction of Wei Xuan, in addition to the soldiers who went out to fight, it was also necessary to maintain part of the county soldiers and guard caravans, workshops, academies and other guards in the county.

Even when Wei Xuan was expanding his troops and making frequent moves in Sanhe, the surrounding neighbors did not stop.

The first to react was Zhang Yang of the party,

Zhang Yang was very shocked when he heard that the Yuvro tribe entrenched in Shangdang and Hanoi was completely annihilated by Wei Xuan, and with the demise of Yuvro, he Zhang Yang actually completely occupied Shangdang County without going to war. For Xuan also fulfilled his promise.

But then for Xuan to seize Hanoi, and Yuan Shao formally broke with him, so that Zhang Yang worried for a while, he was mainly worried that Wei Xuan would ask him for help, he was not unwilling, but his three thousand soldiers were not trained, to deal with the bandits in the territory of the party is okay, to deal with the regular army he has no confidence, as a result of the news to him, Wei Xuan sent cavalry to annihilate Yan Liang 5,000 vanguards, capture Neihuang, and then Chun Yuqiong 15,000 people attacked Neihuang and lost most of them. The combat power of the Weixuan army???????????????? It completely shocked Zhang Yang.

】

Next is the Black Mountain Army of Luchangshan attached to Wei Xuan, Yuan Shao asked for peace and sent food, Wei Xuan not only showed a strong military strength, but also geographically surrounded the Shangdang, the east of the Shangdang is Taihang Mountain, the north is Taiyuan County, and look at Wei Xuan's posture has been gradually migrated to the old and weak of the Fuluo Department, a large number of cattle and sheep were sent to Sanhe, Wei Xuan's next target is not Dong Zhuo or the state, and the state is more likely.

If Wei Xuan takes Taiyuan, Shangdang County will be completely surrounded. To the east is the Taihang Mountain and tens of thousands of worshipping Montenegrin troops, Zhang Yang has no way to cross the platform, and to the north is the place where ethnic minorities are rampant.

Nowadays, anyone who is a little smarter knows that the imperial power of the Han family can no longer cover Shandong, and the competition has begun.

Except for Tao Qian and the dead Qiao Mao, the sour jujube coalition has basically become a subordinate of Yuan Shao, and Sun Jian and Liu Bei, who are close to the candidate, have already received enough benefits. It is impossible to become bigger, so you can only choose one person between Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao to follow.

Therefore, Zhang Yang sent someone to send a letter to Wei Xuan after careful consideration, and Wei Xuan was also very surprised after receiving the letter, because Zhang Yang proposed to be attached, hoping that Wei Xuan would send Taishou to the party, and he would lead the troops or enter Luoyang alone, only asking for a military captain, and he would be willing to follow Wei Xuan in the future to open peace for all generations. Also sent were the list of party officials and the population list, which were full of sincerity.

Zhang Yang also comprehensively analyzed the book he read, and among the armed forces in the area from the south to the west of the Taihang Mountains to the Yellow River, in addition to having an official background, he Zhang Yang ranked last in terms of military strength, no matter how Yu Fuluo or Tao Sheng or Yuan Shao were far stronger than him. Therefore, no one among Zhang Yang's subordinates objected to Zhang Yang's choice.

Wei Xuan took Zhang Yang's letter and arrived a little unexpectedly, and sighed at the simplicity of a martial artist like Zhang Yang, so he asked Yu Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and the three gave almost the same answer, Zhang Yang has the talent and knowledge of current affairs and has a friendship with Wei Xuan, and Wei Xuan should also accept it, because if the Shangdang is in hand, it will not only further block Yuan Shao's road to the west and merge the state, but also greatly shorten the transportation time of grain and grass from Hanoi, and the party will become the advance base for Wei Xuan's army to go north and merge with the state.

However, considering the need for a strategic buffer with Yuan Shao and the scourge of isolating the Xiongnu and Xianbei people from going south, the three strategists still suggested that Shangdang should stay in Zhang Yang's hands first, so as to strengthen his encirclement. At least nominally maintain Zhang Yang's independence, and ensure that Zhang Yang stays in his lineup, so that Yuan Shao is less nervous about the west and does not attract too much attention.

To put it simply, it is to make Zhang Yang a closer ally or subordinate than Sun Jian and Liu Bei.

Wei Xuan felt that it also made sense, Yuan Shao was confident that Liu Dai, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others would be the younger brothers to grab land for him, and Wei Xuan could also support Zhang Yangdong to go north alive.

Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao have torn their faces, and only if there is enough buffer zone in the middle, can the two sides develop more at ease. So Wei Xuan sent people to send Zhang Yang 500 sets of iron armor, 1,000 weapons and 10,000 stone of grain, so that he could stay in Shangdang with peace of mind and encourage him to strengthen the clearance of the bandits in the territory and block the southern attack of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people in the north.

Unexpectedly???????????????? Yang not only did not give up after receiving the supplies, but took people to Luoyang to meet Wei Xuan and ask to join Wei Xuan's army. Those who followed Zhang Yang to Luoyang included almost all the Sima and military marquis under Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang smiled very honestly when he saw Wei Xuan again: "General, Yang is a martial artist and the general does not abandon the land of a county, but the party and the people's livelihood are withering, and it is urgent for the general to send capable people to govern." Yang still likes the kind of free days under Ding Duwei, and he doesn't have to worry about anything except going to the battlefield to fight.

Of course, General, you have to leave me a few places in Luoyang Academy, so that Yang can use them to entrap his subordinates. ”

Seeing the repeated pleas of this sturdy man who was once as famous as Zhang Liao and was once called the party guard by Yuan Shao and others because of his needs, Wei Xuan was also helpless.

Wei Xuan finally accepted Zhang Yang's subordination, but he also knew that Zhang Yang's talent was mainly in leading troops, just like Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others. Therefore, Wei Xuan took Zhang Yang as a benefit to replace Xu Huang to guard the east of the river, which can be regarded as giving Zhang Yang enough trust, Xu Huang's original team was handed over to Zhang Yang at the same time, and he took some backbones to the party to train Zhang Yang's subordinates. At the same time, Han * Meng under Du Peng took his troops to the eldest son to prevent the Xiongnu and Xianbei people from attacking. Wei Xuan, the candidate of Taishou, finally chose Pei Mao, the commander of Wen County.

Yuan Shao, who couldn't sleep with the party in his hands, should be glad that he eased the relationship with Yuweixuan. However, the successful occupation of Huguan naturally completely blocked Yuan Shao's ambition to covet and merge the state.

For the first head-on collision between Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao, the fastest and biggest reaction was Yuan Shu, who once wanted to use the opportunity of Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao's war to fish in troubled waters, but was sternly rejected by Wei Xuan, Yuan Shu still had 20,000 troops in Luyang, but in the face of Xu Rong stationed in Taigu Yuan Shu did not act rashly, and as a result, the war in the north ended in less than a month, ending with Yuan Shao's fiasco and compensation for a large amount of grain and grass, and at the same time Wei Xuan sent Xu Rong to the real front line Yingchuan to sit in town. Now Yuan Shu is not calm, others don't know that he knows that Wei Xuan just cheated one million stones of grain from him half a year ago, and now Wei Xuan basically didn't consume it, and Yuan Shao obediently sent the food.

The most important thing is that with the spread of the tuntian and tax policies of the four counties ruled by Yin and Wei Xuan in Henan, and the gradual stabilization of the political situation, many Henan people who had fled to Nanyang have returned to the north, and a large number of businessmen have come to Luoyang, and the restoration of prosperity in Henan Yin is just around the corner.

So Yuan Shu withdrew Luyang's soldiers and horses again, preparing to deal with Liu Biao in Xiangyang wholeheartedly.

At the same time, Yuan Shu sent Changshi Yang Hong to Luoyang to ask Wei Xuan to buy war horses from Wei Xuan, but Wei Xuan only secretly exchanged 300 war horses for 400,000 catties of Nanyang fine iron. With the arrival of these fine irons and the large number of cattle and sheep obtained from Uvlo, the tuntian fields of Yin and Hanoi counties in Henan Province have expanded by great strides.

Cao Cao was invited by Liu Dai and Bao Xin to prepare to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turbans in Yanbei, but Gongsun Chan in the north had already started, because he had reached an alliance with Yuan Shao to coerce Han Fu to give up Jizhou, Yuan Shao got Jizhou as he wished, but Gongsun Chan did not gain the slightest, not only that, Yuan Shao also sent envoys to Qingzhou to lobby a large number of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans began to pose a threat to Gongsun Zhan's territory, and Gongsun Chan had no choice but to fight thieves across the border.

Gongsun Zhan is better than Yuan Shao???????????????? In order to balance Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan chose to ally with Yuan Shu and Tao Qian to compete with Yuan Shao and Wei Xuan Group.

At the same time, Gongsun Zhan is also a person who is good at grasping the battle results, he decisively sent troops south when Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao were developing, and now he has opened up the situation in Qingzhou.

There is Gongsun Zan in the north of Jizhou, and there are Wei Xuan and Yuan Shu in the south, which are several of Yuan Shao's strong opponents, and Gongsun is naturally the most unhappy when he enters Qingzhou to suppress bandits. Because he had just fought with Wei Xuan, after paying a heavy price, he finally sought Wei Xuan's understanding, and Yuan Shao once again focused on the stability and expansion of Jizhou's territory.

There are Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan in the north of Jizhou, although Liu Yu has no ambition but was offended by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan is aggressive, west is Taihang Mountain Zhang Yan where there are more than 100,000 young men and women who can go out of the mountains to fight at any time, the southwest is Wei Xuan, which is the kind that Yuan Shao can't gnaw at temporarily, Liu Dai and Cao Cao and others in the south are still dependent on Yuan Shao for the time being, and now Gongsun is clearing the yellow scarves in the east, Liu Dai and others are also preparing to pay the yellow turbans in Yanzhou, not how loyal these people are to the court or cherish the people, because they know that the Yellow Turban Army is the source of soldiers on the soles of their feet, also hoarded a lot of grain and grass to occupy a lot of land, and the three parties even read out the hollow and thought of achieving the goal of actually controlling Qingzhou by clearing the yellow turbans.

For a while, Yuan Shao couldn't get his hands on where to watch and do it in a hurry, so he set his sights on Yuzhou and Jingzhou further south. Where are Sun Jian and Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. Yuan Shao had successfully made contact with Liu Biao and both sides had the intention of forming an alliance, so Yuan Shao's focus was on Yuzhou.

Although Yuan Shu is Yuan Shao's younger brother, the two brothers have always been at odds. Yuan Shao's first target was Jingzhou, and his second target was also Yuzhou, so the contradiction between the two naturally deepened.

Several strategists under Yuan Shao's command finally understood Wei Xuan's good intentions to divide the universe with Sun Jian, in fact, they understood that if Wei Xuan didn't pull Sun Jian, then now Wei Xuan would have to face Yuan Shao's southward and Yuan Shu's northward movement at the same time. Knowing that his side was backward, he naturally thought that the princes were now fighting to lay out Yuzhou in advance.
