Xiliang, Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Seeing that the autumn harvest is over, the grain harvest here in Xiliang is not very good.

After all, there are not many places suitable for farming in Liangzhou, plus there is less rain, and the seeds of grain are not very good, so this harvest is naturally not good.

The most important thing is that the most fertile land on this side of Liangzhou is in the hands of Na Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, if they don't want to be starved to death, they can only bow to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"Brother Li, we don't have any military rations for the winter." Guo Yan looked at the folds sent by his subordinates, and knew that the military rations in his hands could no longer last this winter.

"Otherwise, let's borrow food from Ma Teng and Han Sui, it's better to lose some face than to starve to death!"

When Li Dao heard these words, his brows tightened and he didn't say a word.

Guo Yan saw that Li Dao didn't speak, so he stepped forward and pushed the other party: "Brother Li, why are you in a daze, I'll talk to you." ”

Li Dao sighed when he heard this: "I heard it, but what can it be?" ”

"What's the matter, we have to spend the winter, you don't know, how cold is the winter in Liangzhou, if we don't borrow food from Han Sui Ma Teng, I'm afraid that these brothers who follow the two of us will be starved to death and frozen to death."

Guo Yan said impatiently.

And Li Dao sighed and reminded: "Have you forgotten, then Cao Zixuan said that after the autumn harvest, he will fight with us!" Don't talk about spending the winter, you and I brothers, whether we can see the winter coming, that's all about it. ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he sat down again with a decadent face.

If Cao Ang really called, then their Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui, plus the two of them, could really stop Cao Jun's iron cavalry?

Li Dao and Guo Yan had long been scared by Cao Ang, so the two of them didn't dare to start a war with Cao Jun at all, and only thought about surrendering.

It's just that at this moment, the two of them can't help themselves, and they can't even hand over Liu Xie's surrender.

After all, this Xiliang is the territory of Han Sui and Ma Teng, as long as the two of them have that kind of surrender, I am afraid that Ma Teng and Han Sui will kill the two of them.

It was precisely because of this that Xiliang was able to maintain a brief period of peace before Cao's army attacked on a large scale.

Li Dao and Guo Yan, two people who wanted to surrender but couldn't.

Ma Teng and Han Sui, two people who wanted to exterminate Li Dao and Guo Yan, but did not dare to do it.

Zhang Liao, with Cao Jun, eyed Xiliang on the border of Sizhou.

As long as there is a change in the Xiliang army, this tiger general will not hesitate to attack and kill the Xiliang army without leaving a piece of armor.

But if the Xiliang Army does not have civil strife, then Zhang Liao will not have a chance to make a move.

Three-legged, still stable.

……

Yizhou, Liu Zhang's office.

Liu Yan has died of illness, but he has not yet fully announced it to the public.

After all, Liu Zhang at this time is consolidating his power in Yizhou, as long as the power is unstable, then he will not mourn Liu Yan!

Only a few people trusted by Liu Zhang in Yizhou knew that Liu Yan was dead.

But they only knew that Liu Yan died of illness, and for this prince who often pretended to be sick, the real cause of his death was probably only known to his own son.

Although it is said that Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, it also depends on who he compares with.

If compared to Cao Ang, he is naturally weak and incompetent, after all, he doesn't even dare to raise his head in front of Cao Ang.

Now he still has a psychological shadow on Cao Ang.

It's just that he is far away in Yizhou, far away from Emperor Cao Angshangao, so as time passed, he slowly forgot the dark cloud hanging over his heart and began to show his wrists.

For those wealthy families in Yizhou who do not obey him, they all kill some people, warn some people, and then support some people.

The people who killed were all the masters of the wealthy family, and they didn't accept Liu Zhang, so they had to die.

And those who were warned were the followers of those who were killed.

Liu Zhang wants the support of those wealthy families, but he doesn't want to destroy those wealthy families.

As for the part of the people who are supported, they are the marginal figures who were originally in the wealthy family.

They were supported by Liu Zhang and became the controllers of the wealthy family, so they were naturally grateful to Liu Zhang and obeyed his words.

In this way, Liu Zhang, with the help of Fa Zheng and others, completely controlled Yizhou.

……

Jizhou, Yuan Shao.

After the defeat of Yuan Shu, he withdrew from the area of Qingzhou in Yanzhou.

But even if he retired from the army, he was worried that the Cao family would settle accounts with him in the future.

"I said at the time that I wouldn't start a war with Cao Cao, but all of you persuaded me to do it one by one!" Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, shaking the pot with an irritable face.

"It's good now, not only has the territory not expanded, but also the General Gao Ran has been broken, right now, Yuan Shu is defeated, once the Cao army moves north, then how can we resist it?"

When he heard this, he stood up: "Lord, I am also responsible for this matter, I originally thought that with the strength of the Cao army, it was absolutely impossible to fight on two fronts. ”

"And in fact, this is indeed the case, Cao Jun can only passively defend in the face of our brave and good soldiers!"

"It's just that I didn't expect that Sun Jian turned against the water and backstabbed Yuan Shu, causing him to fall so quickly, which was unexpected!"

When he said these words, he wanted Yuan Shao not to blame himself.

But what he didn't know was that Yuan Shao would never blame himself, but would only blame others.

At that moment just now, Yuan Shao was complaining in his heart that this group of strategists was incompetent and the generals were weak, otherwise he would not have lost.

And he just doesn't reflect on himself, if he sends troops when he first persuades him to go south, and he is caught off guard by the Cao family, his territory may have expanded a lot at this time.

Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Forget it, don't say anything more about the past, now let's think about it, how to resist Cao Jun." ”

"With my understanding of the Cao family's father and son, let's do it first this time, if we don't retaliate back, then it's not Cao Apu and Cao Zixuan."

When everyone heard this, they were also a little helpless.

Originally, they all thought that the Cao family had almost lost their family in order to rebuild Luoyang, but they didn't expect that the other party's family background was so solid.

It can still support such a large army and conduct multi-front operations.

Fu Zhi was the first to stand up and said: "My lord, I think that I should unite with Gongsun Zan to fight against Cao Jun together!" ”

The others thought about it, and there was indeed only one way to stop Cao Jun at present.

At this critical moment of survival, there is no one to disagree with the frustration.
