Chapter 681 The Issue of Succession (Part 1)

After Zongheng Tianxia arrived in Duyang, he was ready every day. While ordering Chen Dao to train his troops with all his strength, he constantly mobilized players and auxiliary soldiers to repair the city walls and stockpile weapons. At the same time, he ordered scouts and players to constantly monitor Nanyang's movements. They were afraid that Yuan Shu would suddenly send troops to fight. But after a few months passed, Nanyang made no other moves except intensifying military training.

But in April, things changed suddenly. Yuan Shu suddenly led an army of 150,000 Nanyang troops and headed south with hundreds of thousands of family members. Before anyone could react, he headed south along the Huai River from Fuyang County to Yangzhou. Ten days later, Yuan Shu had arrived in Shouchun.

The first person to react was the old poisoner Jia Xu. At his suggestion, Zhang Ji immediately arranged for his nephew Zhang Xiu to lead 20,000 Xiliang cavalry into Wancheng and take control of the county. Although after Yuan Sangong's efforts, Wancheng is far inferior to what it used to be, it is still a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

After taking Wancheng under his control, Zhang Xiu sent people to recruit several surrounding cities to surrender one by one. A few days later, when Zhang Ji led 30,000 infantry and rushed to Wancheng, the surrounding Pheasants, Bowang, Jiyang, and Yuyang counties have all been occupied by Zhang Xiu's men. At this time, Liu Biao of Xiangyang also reacted and sent Jingzhou General Wenpin to lead an army north along the Huishui River to push his defense line to Xinye.

At first, after receiving the news, Zongheng Tianxia also wanted to fish in troubled waters and sent people to occupy Wuyin County, but Huan Jie and Chen Dao unanimously opposed it. Because first of all, the three county towns have been occupied for less than a year and are not completely under control. If we try to occupy Wuyin again, we will inevitably bite off more than we can chew.

Secondly, Wuyin has actually been evacuated by Zongheng Tianxia, ​​and it has not recovered at all in less than a year. It is useless to occupy such a place. On the contrary, now Nanyang has become the territory of the Xiliang Army. Although its strength is not as good as that of Yuan Shu, Zhang Ji's Xiliang Army has many cavalry, which is far more troublesome than Yuan Shu. If Zhang Ji's cavalry harasses Wuyin, then how can you save Zong He Tian Xia? Or not to save him?

After much consideration, Zongheng Tianxia decided not to take advantage of this opportunity. Instead, he took advantage of this chaotic period to gather nearly 20,000 people again. It was not like he had gained nothing.

At that time, Huangfu Chaobo was far away in Youzhou. When he got the news, he was stunned for a long time and did not react. Historically, Yuan Shu was so frightened by Cao Cao that he ran away to Shouchun. He didn't expect that in the game, he also ran away after being beaten by his own men. However, for Huangfu Chaobo, these are just some things to talk about after dinner. They are too far apart and have no practicality.

After listening to Zongheng Tianxia's words, Huangfu Chaobo discovered that since Dong Zhuo moved the capital, more and more people have learned his trick. If the territory cannot be occupied, the city will basically be emptied. He is like this, Zhang Yan is like this, and Zongheng Tianxia is like this. Alas, this is not a good habit.

Killing the wrong wolf has not changed much in Luyang, and they are still farming honestly.

Behind them are those people from Bingzhou.

The knight was the first to speak. After Huangfu Chaobo's Wugahe Town was built, the east side of Guangmu City became much safer. Subsequently, at Fu Xun's suggestion, the knights united with Meng Yi of Xianyang. The two families dispatched nearly 4,000 cavalry and spent several months sweeping the area between Guangmucheng and Wugahe Town several times. Several small tribes among them were all relocated and exterminated.

Later, Xia Ke sent people to an abandoned town called Xixiaozhao Town between Guangmu and Wuga River, and spent several months running the town. Now, Xixiaozhao Town is barely the size of a small town in the Central Plains, and is basically self-sufficient.

With the successful development of this town, the knight was relieved. Next, his target has set his sights on another place, which is the location of Wuyuan County in reality. At this time in the game, this is not a county, but an abandoned town named Longchang Town.

The other county towns in Shuofang County,

Except for Shuofang County, which is south of the river, the other cities are all north of the river. However, Woye, Linrong and Sanfeng are all in the west of Shuofang, nearly two hundred miles away from Guangmu. For the current knights, It was beyond his capabilities and he could only continue to accumulate strength. Fortunately, after the previous incident, the knight had already noticed this problem, so he was not in a hurry.

As for Zhao Zilong and the others, they have not made much progress and can only slowly accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

At the bottom of the list is Zhou Wen who is far away in Youzhou. However, among the others except Zongheng Tianxia, ​​her Leting City is developing the fastest, mainly because of the existence of Leting Port. The strength is increasing day by day.

That night, Huangfu Chaobo entertained Zongheng Tianxia and his entourage again at Luoshen Restaurant. Afterwards, he arranged for them to rest in the inn next to the restaurant, and then returned to the general's mansion.

But what he didn't know was that they did not rest, but were quickly invited by Huangfu Song and others who had rushed to Luoyang for the banquet but had not yet returned to their place of residence.

When Zongheng Tianxia and others rushed to Huangfu Song's courtyard again, they were shocked by the formation there. It turned out that in addition to Huangfu Song, they also met with Zhu Jun, Lu Zhitian, Feng Lougui, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun. It can be said that almost all the important civil and military officials under Huangfu Chaobo were present.

After greeting everyone one by one, Huangfu Song invited everyone to sit down. Then the old men chatted with everyone about some things in the world, and then Huangfu Song carefully considered the words and asked them to come.

After hearing Huangfu Song's words, Zongheng Tianxia was stunned, staring at each other, and couldn't speak for a long time.

It turned out that Huangfu Song invited Zongheng Tianxia to come for Huangfu Chaobo's marriage. That's right, it was for Huangfu Chaobo's marriage. Of course, the main reason was that Huangfu Chaobo was a vassal, the General Pingdong of the Han Dynasty, and the governor of Sizhou, but he still had no heir, which was a fatal flaw for a force.

In fact, everyone knew that Xiaojing was Huangfu Chaobo's wife, but Xiaojing had no children. In fact, she didn't have no children. In real life, Jia Jing, who had been married for more than a year, was pregnant, but the problem was that the child would not appear in the game after it was born.

If Huangfu Chaobo was just an ordinary player, it wouldn't matter, but he is the lord of one side. If he has no descendants, then from the civil and military officials of this force to the gentry and common people, no one will feel safe.
