Chapter 1136: The General Trend of the World
When he received the news from Lujiang County about the discovery of the remnants of the Zhong Dynasty, Huangfu Chaobo was recruiting three military advisors to discuss the Tang Army's strategic arrangements for the next year. After Guo Jia rested for three days in Handan, he was also escorted by a thousand soldiers and horses. He returned to Luoyang, and then obtained the content of the conversation between Huangfu Chaobo and Xu Shu and Pang Tong that day. Huangfu Chaobo personally told him.
In the next few days, the four people stayed in the hall of the Duke's Mansion, carefully considered and discussed the map of the Han Dynasty, and considered the Tang Army's next strategy. Like Ji Ling, they were also thinking about where to go. However, But it is for the whole world.
Seeing the pigeon letter from Zuo Chengzu and others, Huangfu Chaobo was stunned for a moment. Was Yuxi really brought out by Ji Ling? Otherwise, why would Ji Ling be so careful to protect Yuan Yao and hide in the mountains?
Imperial jade seal! ? …
For Huangfu Chaobo, this name is one of the things he doesn't want to touch, because he still knows himself. Not only him, but also the three military advisors. When they saw the jade seal mentioned by Zuo Chengzu, the three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"What a pity, for our current army, this is not a tempting delicacy, but a deadly poison!" Pang Tong smacked his lips and said;
"Yes, Dong Zhuo's army was so powerful back then that it was still unable to defeat the 18 princes of Guandong. Therefore, this hot potato should be left to others. If the lord gets the jade seal, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the princes in the world. When the time comes, he will We are surrounded by enemies on all sides," Guo Jiaye replied;
"Okay, let someone reply to Zuo Chengzu and ask them to block Yuan Yaojun in the mountains. As for where they want to run, it's up to them." Huangfu Chaobo ordered with a smile; then, he Zuo Chengzu threw the pigeon letter aside, ignored it, and turned his attention to the Han map on the table.
"Fengxiao continues, let us first understand the current general trend of the world, and then discuss the follow-up strategy."
Guo Jia clasped his fists and made a promise, then introduced to several people the situation of the princes from all over the world who had been recruited from the Shadow Guard.
Needless to say, the north and the northeast were mentioned. Huangfu Chaobo himself had just returned from the north, so the situation was relatively familiar. A battle involving Xianbei's southern invasion caused chaos in the two states of Youbin. Gongsun Zan of Youzhou had already been defeated and had not yet recovered, but now it was even worse. Although Lu Bu in Bingzhou was not as miserable as Gongsun Chan, almost all Xianbei people in Yunzhong and Daijun were raided. Even the two lower counties made Lu Bu heartbroken.
Gongsun Du and the domineering royal family are still in a state of confrontation. What Gongsun Du doesn't know is that he has become a soft persimmon in the eyes of others. Someone wants to round him up and flatten him after the spring of next year. It is rare for Yuan Shao from Hebei to be quiet for a while at this time.
What made Huangfu Chaobo more concerned was the war between Cao Cao and Ye Laixiang. As expected, after driving Huangfu Chaobo's forces out of Qingzhou, Cao Cao and Ye Laixiang began to fight, but the two families The war started first in the direction of Xuzhou. If you think about it carefully, it actually makes sense. Although Xia Houyuan's army is present in Qingzhou, after more than half a year of fierce fighting with the Tang army, although they have gained more than twenty cities in the Qingzhou Plain and Donglai, Sergeant Cao is already a veteran of the division. Tired, if they were allowed to fight with Tuberose again, Sergeant Cao's soldiers would jump up to resist without Tuberose even thinking about it.
The two sides fought fiercely on the line between Langya and Donghai for more than a month, but no one got any benefits. In the end, they had no choice but to temporarily stop their troops. The next step was to accumulate strength and prepare for next year's war. For Cao Cao's army, their vitality has been severely weakened this year, so they feel that they are not sluggish in the face of a small shrimp like Tuberose. Tuberose relies on Xi Zhicai and Xu Sheng generals, as well as several years of The arrangement in the south of Langya finally managed to block Cao Cao's army from Langya County.
Further south, the little overlord Sun Ce was not idle either. After seizing the territory of Xuzhou from Cao Cao, when everyone turned their attention to merging the two states,
Sun Ce suddenly led an army to attack Wucheng, Wu County, so Yan Han asked Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, for help. Wang Lang understood the meaning of lips and teeth, so he personally led an army of 50,000 to come to support. The three parties fought in Wucheng for dozens of days. In the end, Sun Ce's army was Wucheng was finally captured, but Wang Lang, the governor of Kuaiji, died in the rebellion. In the end, the cities and generals of Kuaiji threw themselves under the command of Yan Han, the governor of Wu County, and vowed to avenge Wang Lang.
After a battle, Sun Ce found that he had made a wedding dress for someone else. Although Yan Han lost Wucheng County, he gained the support of 14 cities in a county of Kuaiji, as well as the support of Zhou Xin and other generals, which greatly increased his strength for a while.
However, Liu Yao, the Yangzhou herder who was defeated by Sun Ce and fled to Yuzhang in embarrassment, quickly recruited nearly 100,000 troops with the support of Yuzhou cities and aristocratic families. Then, with General Zhang Ying as the main general, he sharpened his troops and horses, and was sharpening his sword and watching. Looking at Sun Ce to the east, he was ready to hit Sun Ce twice at the right time.
In Jingzhou, Jingbei is still relatively stable, but Jingnan is different. In June, Jianling, the magistrate of Yidao, left Han Xuan, Gao Yue, and Hou Zheng to guard Yidao and personally led an army of 50,000. Wei Yan and Han Hao , Qi Shen generals sent troops to attack Wuling. The two sides fought for more than a month under Linyuan City, the capital of Wuling County. Finally, under the fierce attack of Wei Yan and Han Hao, Wuling City was captured. Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, was killed, and his son Jin Wei and general Gong Zhi were killed. Among the prisoners, more than half of the 30,000 Wuling County elites were killed or wounded, and the rest were all captured.
Sword Spirit then ordered Wei Yan and Han Hao to divide their troops into two groups. Wei Yan led 20,000 troops south to attack the cities of Yuannan, Yuanling and Chenyang, while Han Hao led his troops to fight back against the cities of Hanshou and Zuotang. After more than half a year of fighting, they finally After taking over Wuling, Sword Spirit became the prefect of Wuling, becoming the thirteenth player among the players to become a vassal. Later, Gong Zhi was persuaded to surrender by Hua Yun, Sword Spirit's military advisor, and joined the Sword Spirit army.
On the Yizhou side, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and Shu County Prime Minister I Shi Xiaobai suddenly launched an army to attack Yizhou Yellow Turban Prime Minister Ma. Liu Yan sent nearly 100,000 troops to attack the key, while I, Xiaobai, led 50,000 troops to attack Yuexun County. The two families suddenly sent troops together, catching Ma Xiang off guard. In the past two months, both the key and the Yuexun were defeated. The county lost more than half.
In the end, although Ma Xiang led his troops to resist desperately, the opportunity was lost, and he eventually lost two counties. He had to lead his troops to retreat and defend the country to survive. Liu Yan and I, Xiaobai's family, also gained one county each. The three parties stopped fighting for the time being.
As for other princes and player forces, basically they have not made any big moves.
