Online game Three Kingdoms: Poisoning Liu Huangshu at the beginning
Chapter 140 Xu Huang defected
Chapter 140 Xu Huang defected
"Stop hurting my lord!"
Yan Liang, who had not made a move beside Yuan Shao, swayed, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Yuan Shao, slashing at Gongsun Zan with his saber!
The blade of the gun pierced the big knife, making a piercing sound, and the scalps of the princes present were numb.
Gongsun Zan took three or four steps back, annoyed but also a little afraid.
During the battle at Hulao Pass, Yan Liang never made a move.
Now, as soon as Yan Liang made a move, he repelled Gongsun Zan, who was known for his bravery, and shocked the crowd!
Yan Liang's force is infinitely close to that of the Five Tiger Generals!
Gritting his teeth, Gongsun Zan glared at Yuan Shao, but couldn't kill Yuan Shao because Yan Liang stood in front of him.
"Why is Bogui so impulsive?"
Yuan Shao asked the question clearly, and with Yan Liang as his guard, Yuan Shao was really not afraid of Gongsun Zan.
"Yuan Benchu, you asked our Youzhou Army to attack Hulao Pass for the second round, but you have not called gold to withdraw the troops, nor sent troops to respond. What do you mean?!"
Gongsun Zan scolded Yuan Shao furiously, and Yuan Shao was in the same situation as fire and water.
Gongsun Zan is a prince famous for fighting nomadic tribes. He has a fiery personality. In history, he even dared to kill Liu Yu, a member of the Han clan in Youzhou, so he really wouldn't give Yuan Shao face.
"The leader of this alliance sees that you have the upper hand. Taking advantage of Lu Bu and Elai's weak physical strength, there is a chance to win the Hulao Pass, so he can't bear to call Jin to withdraw the army, so as not to lose the good opportunity. Don't misunderstand, Bogui."
"Bogui and you have come back from victory. You have worked hard and made great achievements. I, Yuan Benchu, are here to offer you a toast."
Yuan Shao held the wine bottle and toasted Gongsun Zan.
"Come on this!"
Gongsun Zan flicked his cloak, left the main tent of the princes' army, and returned to his camp.
Liu Dai, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and other princes have different expressions.
Yuan Shao wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only to defeat Dong Zhuo, but also to consume the troops of other princes.
But the other vassals are not stupid, and seeing Yuan Shao's thoughts, their temper may not be very good.
Gongsun Zan was the first to turn his face, and the other princes found that the alliance was not indestructible, and their hearts were scattered.
Qin Kai hasn't turned his back on Yuan Shao yet, but this beam has already been formed.
"Yuan Benchu's name does not match the truth, and people's hearts have been lost. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do anything. Our Jingzhou army should maintain its strength. Consolidate Jingzhou to observe the changes of the times."
Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, but he was able to get the support of the Jingzhou family. In addition to his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it was also inseparable from Liu Biao's ability.
Liu Biao is not just the master of success.
Yuan Fang, the leader of Shuijingmen, followed Liu Biao. Yuan Shao secretly tricked Qin Kai, Gongsun Zan and others, which was a good thing for him.
Emperor Qing who took refuge in Yuan Shao was also watching the play.
The heroes of Kanto basically have player gangs attached to them. After all, other players don't have the prefect position like Qin Kai.
The princes from all walks of life broke up unhappy and returned to their camps.
"Brother Xing, I thought you had an accident! It's great that you're still alive! Come on, let's have a drink!"
Holding the wine jar, Pan Feng broke into Qin Kai's camp and found his sworn brother Xing Daorong.
Xing Daorong said angrily: "You Jizhou Shepherd Han Fu and Bohai Governor Yuan Shao are really insidious. You didn't call for gold to withdraw troops, and you didn't send troops to respond. I was almost cheated to death by them!"
"Brother, don't be angry. I was very upset when I found out about this. If I didn't live under the fence, I would lead my troops to meet my brother."
Pan Feng is also in a dilemma. On the one hand, he is sworn brothers, and on the other hand, is the protagonist Han Fu.
"Han Fu is doomed to have no future if he follows that kid Yuan Shao, so it's better to hang out with big brother. From now on, the two of us will travel across the world and follow the example of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing!"
Xing Daorong held the wine bowl and drank with Pan Feng, impassioned.
Hearing this, Pan Feng's blood was surging, and he formed a group with Xing Daorong to make their debut. They will travel across the world and become famous in history. This idea is not bad.
"It's just that, if we two brothers join forces, I'm afraid we are not Lu Bu's opponent."
"We can find a few sworn brothers and work together, so what about Lu Bu?"
"It makes sense! Brother, let me go back and think about it for a few days!"
Pan Feng was so drunk that he agreed with all his heart.
The next day, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and other princes formed the third batch of vassal armies and continued to attack Hulao Pass.
Liu Biao sent General Wen Pin, Liu Yan sent Zhang Ren, and the other princes sent Dian Wei, Fang Yue, Han Hao and other generals.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, the offensives of Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai and other princes were obviously weaker than the first and second rounds of offensives.
Although Wen Pin and Zhang Ren are famous generals, Liu Biao and Liu Yan secretly instructed them to release water and preserve their strength, which just means fighting for several hours.
The third group of princes attacked Hulao Pass for several days, and then it was the turn of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Kong Ni, Yuan Yi and other princes to attack the city.
Yan Liang, Ji Ling, Zhang He and other generals went into battle, while Lu Bu, E Lai and other generals had almost recovered their physical strength.
Yuan Shao was better at preserving his strength than Liu Biao and Liu Yan. Lu Bu appeared at the Hulao Pass with Fang Tian's painted halberd on his shoulder, and Yuan Shao hurriedly called for gold to withdraw his troops.
The other princes were even more dissatisfied, but under Dong Zhuo's threat, they were unable to fight.
Yuan Fang, Emperor Qing and other player leaders were more active than Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes in order to gain points for the event, and tens of thousands of players were killed or injured.
"Dong Zhuo is going to move his capital..."
Qin Kai fished in troubled waters in the camp of the Kwantung heroes, and discovered that Dong Zhuo had secretly sent troops to relocate the population of Luoyang, and sent troops to plunder Luoyang's gold and silver treasures. He knew that Dong Zhuo planned to abandon Luoyang and manage Guanzhong.
The armies of the feudal lords and Dong Zhuo's army were evenly matched. Dong Zhuo had killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of soldiers at Hulao Pass, and he wanted to reward the Qiang, Hun, Baibo, Heishan, and Xiliang rebels. Dong Zhuo couldn't last long.
The armies of the feudal lords confronted Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass for another month, and the feudal lords were unwilling to contribute because they were guarding against the ally leader Yuan Shao.
In Luoyang City, Niu Fu led the Xiliang Army to relocate the population of Luoyang. The Xiliang Army took the opportunity to loot the gold and silver treasures in the city, and the city was raging with flames.
After relocating the population of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army retreated from the Hulaoguan camp one by one.
It just so happened that all the princes collectively performed poorly, and the Xiliang Army was able to withdraw from Hulao Pass without any pressure at all.
"Dong Zhuo is going to manage Qinchuan for eight hundred miles in Guanzhong. Let's return to Liangzhou and turn Liangzhou into our territory. The cavalry in Xiliang are no worse than soldiers in other states."
Ma Teng led Ma Chao, Pang De and Liangzhou cavalry to retreat overnight.
"Let's go back to Hedong."
The leaders of the Baibo army, Guo Da, Yang Feng, Han Xian and others, led hundreds of thousands of Baibo troops, retreating in the direction of Mengjin.
"General, Luoyang City is on fire!"
Xu Huang's lieutenant pointed in the direction of Luoyang City.
"Sure enough, as those strangers predicted, Dong Zhuo will burn Luoyang... We will follow Yang Feng and do evil. There is no future at all."
Xu Huang was disappointed by Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang, and Yang Feng, the general of the Baibo army, was not as good as a middle-class Kwantung prince.
"What does the general mean?"
Xu Huang's subordinates looked at Xu Huang in surprise.
"We might as well abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and go to the princes of the Guandong." Xu Huang made up his mind, "Those who don't want to go with me can go back to Hedong, and I will not pursue it."
"This……"
Xu Huang's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay. In the end, thousands of people stayed, and the others followed the Baibo army back to Hedong.
The Liangzhou army withdrew overnight, leaving behind a dilapidated Hulao Pass.
The heroes of the Kwantung were on guard against each other, and no one was willing to pursue them. The next day, only banners and scarecrows were left at Hulao Pass.
Li Ru set up an empty city plan, and the Kwantung heroes did not dare to enter Hulao Pass for a while.
Qin Kai rode Qiongqi and wandered around Hulao Pass. He was sure that there were no defenders at Hulao Pass, so he returned to the camp and led the Liaoxi Army into Hulao Pass.
Seeing that Qin Kai had entered Hulao Pass, the other princes did not encounter Dong Zhuo's army, so they also led troops to enter Hulao Pass one after another and marched towards Luoyang.
"Dong Zhuo actually took the initiative to abandon Luoyang and Hulao."
Cao Cao was a little surprised when he learned that Dong Zhuo had moved his capital.
Xiahou Dun said: "Is it possible that Dong Zhuo was afraid of us, so he ran away?"
"Dong Zhuo's advance is based on retreat, causing the Kwantung heroes to fight among themselves. It won't be long before the allied forces of the princes will collapse. It seems that the general trend is unstoppable."
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Dong Zhuo hijacked the emperor and went to Chang'an. Now it will be even more difficult to help the Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei also sighed.
The princes and soldiers were distracted, and it would be good to hit Luoyang, let alone Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo destroyed Luoyang City, causing the armies of the princes to lose supplies and the ability to march into Chang'an.
"People's hearts are going to disperse. After we repair the palace in Luoyang, we will go back home."
Sun Jian saw that there was discord among the princes' armies. He was powerless all the way to the princes. The only thing he could do was to repair the palace in Luoyang.
Qin Kai led the team to enter Luoyang City first.
"Ding! The armies of the feudal lords successfully conquered Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, the hidden conditions of the event are fulfilled, and all players in Dong Zhuo's camp score x 1.5."
"Ding! The crusade against Dong Zhuo is over, and personal points, gang points, and lord points will no longer be counted. After three days, players can use their points to exchange for personal items, gang items, and territory items."
"Ding! Because Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an and established the Liang Kingdom, the Han Dynasty collapsed, and the Three Kingdoms region entered a state of separatism. After the princes and players from all over the country actually control a county, county, or state, they can proclaim themselves county magistrates, prefects, and state shepherds. Personal reputation is enough , You can call yourself a general."
The moment Qin Kai's troops entered Luoyang City, a system notification sounded.
As long as the soldiers and horses of the princes' army occupy Luoyang, the crusade against Dong Zhuo will come to an end.
In the future, players and princes will not have to look at the face of the court, and seize the territory at will!
For a while, many Three Kingdoms player gangs were ecstatic.
In the future, I finally don't have to care about the appointment of the court!
As long as you have soldiers and horses, you can even call yourself the invincible general of the universe!
"Dong Zhuo is really ruthless. Luoyang City has a population of tens of millions. The Xiliang army used the excuse of moving the capital to search for gold and silver from the people of Luoyang, and searched the aristocratic families. Dong Zhuo got at least tens of millions of gold coins. The gold and silver treasures looted by Mausoleum, Dong Zhuo's strength has not been damaged, but has been strengthened. If Dong Zhuo manages Guanzhong for a few years, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will still be the prince with the most troops..."
Qin Kai saw Luoyang City in ruins, and the Kwantung heroes attacked Dong Zhuo. Except for the players who could get points, the other princes lost troops and lost their generals, and did not get half of the benefits. No wonder the princes from all walks of life collectively failed.
Dong Zhuo got rich overnight because of looting the imperial city of Luoyang and the mausoleums of successive Han emperors.
Dong Zhuo also occupied the Guanzhong Plain. If he manages well, he may have a chance to unify the world.
Xun You shook his head: "Dong Zhuo's looting of Luoyang seems to have gained a lot of gold and silver treasures, but in fact it was at the cost of losing people's hearts. Dong Zhuo's forces are bound to have civil strife, so there is nothing to worry about."
Qin Kai looked sideways, Xun You is worthy of being a top-notch strategist in the Three Kingdoms, he knows the situation well, and even the civil strife in Dong Zhuo's forces can be foreseen in advance.
"Dong Bai is in our hands. As long as Dong Zhuo's power is in chaos, we have a chance to take over Dong Zhuo's power."
Qin Kai detained Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, and later had an excuse to intervene in Dong Zhuo's forces.
"Gongda, Dong Zhuo's retreat, the princes of all walks of life will surely collapse, what will you do from now on?"
Xun You followed Qin Kai to crusade against Dong Zhuo and had not yet become an official. Qin Kai worried that Xun You would choose to leave him after the princes' army disbanded.
If Xun You takes refuge with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes, he will be a troublesome enemy in the future.
Xun You smiled without saying a word, nor did he refuse.
Zhang Liao came to report: "My lord, the Changsha army led by Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, has arrived. Sun Jian is leading the army and is repairing the emperor's temple."
Sun Jian was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty at this time, becoming the second prince to enter Luoyang.
"Luoyang City has been turned into ruins. It is meaningless to compete for this city. Sun Jian repaired the Emperor's Temple just to make up for the regret of not being able to save the emperor. Let him do whatever he wants."
Qin Kai saw that Luoyang City was completely destroyed by Dong Zhuo, and it would take time and effort to rebuild Luoyang City, and the most important population had to migrate from other places.
Even if Qin Kai occupied Luoyang, it would be meaningless. Luoyang City would become an enclave.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the city of Luoyang was once abandoned, and it was only revitalized decades later.
Other princes from all walks of life came one after another and set up camp outside Luoyang City.
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao became enemies. Seeing that Dong Zhuo had retreated to Guanzhong, Gongsun Zan simply led his troops back to Youbeiping and became the first prince to leave.
Li Ru's plan to move the capital made the armies of the princes lose their targets and disintegrate faster.
"As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Benchu didn't try to rescue the emperor, but intrigues, which is disappointing. Xuande, I see the world as real heroes, but there are only a few people, and you are one of them. You are in the plains, only one county away. Why don’t you come to Xuzhou and serve me. I will make you Minister of Pei and garrison Xiaopei. If something happens to me in the future, you will take over from me as Xuzhou’s shepherd.”
In the Xuzhou military camp, Tao Qian entertained Liu Bei, hoping to recruit Liu Bei to work for him.
Tao Qian's proposal made Liu Bei's heart skip a beat.
Although Liu Bei lives as the Han clan, which of the Han clan relatives Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Dai is not closer to the Han clan than Liu Bei?
Among the heroes of the Kanto, Liu Bei has the lowest position, and he is still only a county magistrate.
Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, and the Three Kingdoms District entered the stage of vying for the throne. As long as he occupied the territory, he could proclaim himself the prefect and state herdsman.
Tao Qian, as Xuzhou Mu, can appoint prefects and county magistrates in Xuzhou counties.
Pei Guoguoxiang, the status is equivalent to the prefect.
Tao Qian admired Liu Bei and wanted to train Liu Bei as his successor.
Although Tao Qian has two sons, Tao Qian's two sons are more mediocre than Cao Bao and Mi Fang. In the troubled times when the lords are competing for the throne, they are in charge of Xuzhou, which may lead to the ruin of the Tao family.
Zhang Fei knew what Tao Qian's appreciation meant, so he said carelessly: "Since Xu Zhoumu appreciates elder brother, why not be this prime minister!"
Guan Yu also believed that Liu Bei's promotion from Pingyuanling to Peixiang was an opportunity for Liu Bei: "Brother, we have to give Xuzhou herd face."
Liu Bei shook his head: "The plain belongs to Qingzhou, and there are still remnants of the Yellow Turbans active in Qingzhou. How can we just sit idly by and go to Peiguo? Thank you Xuzhou Mu for your kindness. If Xuzhou Mu has anything to do in the future, Bei will be there whenever you are called."
"it is good!"
Tao Qian was very excited when he got Liu Bei's promise, and had a drink with Liu Bei before letting Liu Bei go back.
When Liu Bei returned to his camp, Guan Yu asked, "Tao Qian asked the eldest brother to be the Minister of Pei and station the troops of Xiao Pei. Why did my lord refuse?"
Liu Bei sighed: "Xuzhou is the territory of the Xuzhou gentry. When we stationed in Xuzhou, we will undoubtedly overwhelm the host. We will be under the fence of others and be controlled by others everywhere. It is better to recruit troops in the plains and crusade against the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou."
Zhang Fei said: "Brother said, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Sooner or later, our three brothers will make a name for themselves!"
After Liu Guanzhang left, Mi Fang entered Tao Qian's tent.
"Zi Fang, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing that it was Mi Fang, Tao Qian had no choice but to give Mi Fang face.
The Mi family behind Mi Fang is the most wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, rich as a country, and Tao Qian still relies on the funding of the Mi family, so he appointed Mi Fang as a general.
Mi Fang said: "I've heard a stranger say that Liu Bei is a master who 'restrains the master's fate', and the lord he takes refuge in will be killed. This matter is so mysterious, you must believe it, and you must not let Liu Bei come to Xuzhou."
Tao Qian frowned: "Nonsense, how can there be such a fate in the world?"
Tao Qian scolded Mi Fang, Mi Fang was sullen, and quit Tao Qian's tent.
Mi Fang really wasn't alarmist, it was true that Liu Bei was protected by a real dragon to restrain the lord.
However, Mi Fang also had her own considerations.
Mi Fang learned that she and Guan Yu did not get along, so she no longer wanted to join Liu Bei.
If Liu Bei takes control of Xuzhou, then history will repeat itself.
"How is it? Will Master Zhou still accept Liu Bei?"
Cao Bao saw Mi Fang coming out of Tao Qian's camp, so he inquired about the tone.
Cao Bao was beheaded by Zhang Fei in history, of course he didn't want Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou.
Cao Bao was at odds with Zhang Fei, Mi Fang was at odds with Guan Yu, and both were trying to prevent Tao Qian from accepting Liu Bei.
Mi Fang shook her head: "The state shepherd appreciates Liu Bei very much, but Liu Bei will not want to come to Xuzhou for a while."
Cao Bao temporarily breathed a sigh of relief: "If Liu Bei comes to Xuzhou, with his relationship with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, our status will not be guaranteed, let alone, maybe we will die at the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Even if Xuzhou is handed over to others, Can't give it to Liu Bei."
"This statement is justified. If my elder brother helps Liu Bei again, I will force him to die."
Mi Fang and Cao Bao reached an agreement.
After Gongsun Zan left, Liu Bei, Tao Qian, and Kong Rong returned to Qingzhou and Xuzhou successively.
There are still many Yellow Turbans active in Qingzhou, and Liu Bei and Kong Rong are in dire straits.
Tao Qian focused on self-protection and didn't want to continue to march into Guanzhong, so he left with the Xuzhou army.
Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, prefect of Bohai, and other princes saw that Emperor Ling of Han was hijacked by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an City. Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor directly, but the Han court existed in name only. emperor.
Liu Yu refused and led his troops back to Youzhou.
The four princes of Youzhou, Gongsundu, the prefect of Liaodong, joined Dong Zhuo's camp.
Gongsun Zan, prefect of Youbeiping, returned to Youbeiping County.
Liu Yu, shepherd of Youzhou, returned to Jixian County.
Only Qin Kai was left alone, and he was not in a hurry to leave.
Han Fu and Yuan Shao were rejected by Liu Yu, making it boring for themselves, and the princes from all walks of life left one after another, so they announced the disbandment of the princes' army and left separately.
During this period, Yuan Shao sent people to divorce Zhang Miao and Dian Wei, but they failed. Zhang Miao felt resentful towards Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Shao went to Jizhou, and now I actually control Yuzhou. If Liu Biao has not established a firm foothold in Jingzhou, he can conquer Xiangyang and occupy Jingzhou, and he will become the hegemony. Wentai, I will leave it to you to crusade against Liu Biao. "
After Yuan Shao retreated, Yuan Shu secretly summoned Sun Jian.
Yuan Shu had great ambitions. After controlling the two big counties of Nanyang County and Runan County, he wanted to annex Jingzhou.
Sun Jian frowned: "Xiangyang is a huge city. Liu Biao has the support of Jingzhou gentry and Jianghu gang 'Shuijingmen'. With my strength, I am afraid that Xiangyang will not be captured."
"I will raise seven armies to help you attack Xiangyang, and you will be the vanguard. With your talents and ours, it will be difficult for the two of us to attack Xiangyang! Don't tell me, Wentai, you don't listen to me anymore?"
Yuan Shu had a serious face.
Ji Ling was useless, and under Yuan Shu's command, the only generals who could really fight were Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son.
"Don't dare. Since the general insists on attacking Jingzhou, Sun please be the vanguard."
Sun Jian relied on the weapons, food and grass provided by Yuan Shu, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.
"Before Liu Biao returns to Xiangyang, gather troops in Wancheng."
"As ordered."
Sun Jian led his troops away from Luoyang and rushed to the teleportation formation in Xingyang.
"No, Sun Jian has been traveling day and night. Could it be that he wants to attack Jingzhou! Lord Inspector should break out of the camp immediately and return to Xiangyang!"
Yuan Fang, the leader of Shuijingmen, had been secretly paying attention to Sun Jian's movements. After Sun Jian withdrew his troops, he immediately reminded Liu Biao to return to Xiangyang.
Liu Biao's Jingzhou army retreated in a hurry.
"Everyone is gone, we should go too."
Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, and other princes saw that the Kwantung heroes fell apart, and they led their troops away one after another.
Only Qin Kai, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Chao remained in Luoyang City.
Of the mighty allied forces of the princes, there are less than a million soldiers and horses left.
With this little force, marching into Guanzhong is just to give away the heads of Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
"The feudal lords have already begun to fight among themselves. Sooner or later, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Liu Biao will fight for Jingzhou. They may be the first batch of vassals to attack each other."
Qin Kai learned that Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian hadtily retreated and gathered troops in Wancheng and Xiangyang. He knew that Yuan Shu wanted to eliminate Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and replace him.
Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou was occupied by Yuan Shu, Changsha County in the south was occupied by Sun Jian, and Liu Biao's Nan County was caught in the middle. Due to geographical reasons, there would be a war sooner or later.
Yuan Shu has great ambitions, and he can't wait to annex Jingzhou.
"And if I want to occupy the entire Youzhou, I need to defeat Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du, Liu Yu and other Youzhou princes, as well as the large player gangs in Youzhou. Without the shackles of the imperial court, I can attack the city openly."
Qin Kai is also looking for targets.
To the east of Liaoxi County is Liaodong County, which is currently the territory of Gongsun Du.
To the west of Liaoxi County is Youbeiping County, which is Gongsun Zan's territory.
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, could not threaten Qin Kai in a short time.
Therefore, there are two expansion directions that Qin Kai can choose, either eastward expansion or westward expansion.
"Fengxiao, Ziyang, attacking, what do you think? Annex Liaodong, or right Beiping?"
Qin Kai looked at the map of Youzhou and asked the three advisers for their opinions.
"Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu have a grudge, and the two are bound to attack each other. In the short term, there is no need to consider Gongsun Zan's threat. Liaodong and Liaoxi are adjacent. It is better to first determine Liaodong, and then advance to attack and retreat to defend."
"My opinion is consistent with Feng Xiao's."
"same."
All three counselors believed that Liaodong was more important than Youbeiping.
Qin Kai nodded.
The potential of Liaodong is definitely higher than that of Liaoxi Corridor.
Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, and Gongsun Yuan's clan, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, were veritable kings of Liaodong, emperors of one side of the land, until Sima Yi led troops to pacify Liaodong.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to climate reasons, the development of Liaodong was very low.
But in "The World", because many players have established villages in Liaodong, Liaodong has great potential.
In history, there are countless dynasties or vassal states that made their fortunes in Liaodong.
Regardless of the distance, in the two Jin Dynasties after the Three Kingdoms, the Murong family was the overlord of Liaodong, and once swept the Central Plains.
Occupying Liaodong, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. You can also plunder the population of Koryo from time to time.
"Then destroy Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong first."
Since the three counselors agreed, Qin Kai chose Gongsun Du as the victim.
"It's time to return to western Liaoning."
"My lord, Xu Huang, the general of the Baibo army, has come here with his troops!"
When Qin Kai was about to lead his troops to retreat, Xu Huang led thousands of Baibo troops, broke away from Yang Feng's army in Mengjin, went south to Luoyang, and defected to Qin Kai.
Qin Kai defeated Xu Huang at Hulao Pass, and Xu Huang believed that it would be more promising to follow Qin Kai.
(End of this chapter)
"Stop hurting my lord!"
Yan Liang, who had not made a move beside Yuan Shao, swayed, and the next moment, he appeared in front of Yuan Shao, slashing at Gongsun Zan with his saber!
The blade of the gun pierced the big knife, making a piercing sound, and the scalps of the princes present were numb.
Gongsun Zan took three or four steps back, annoyed but also a little afraid.
During the battle at Hulao Pass, Yan Liang never made a move.
Now, as soon as Yan Liang made a move, he repelled Gongsun Zan, who was known for his bravery, and shocked the crowd!
Yan Liang's force is infinitely close to that of the Five Tiger Generals!
Gritting his teeth, Gongsun Zan glared at Yuan Shao, but couldn't kill Yuan Shao because Yan Liang stood in front of him.
"Why is Bogui so impulsive?"
Yuan Shao asked the question clearly, and with Yan Liang as his guard, Yuan Shao was really not afraid of Gongsun Zan.
"Yuan Benchu, you asked our Youzhou Army to attack Hulao Pass for the second round, but you have not called gold to withdraw the troops, nor sent troops to respond. What do you mean?!"
Gongsun Zan scolded Yuan Shao furiously, and Yuan Shao was in the same situation as fire and water.
Gongsun Zan is a prince famous for fighting nomadic tribes. He has a fiery personality. In history, he even dared to kill Liu Yu, a member of the Han clan in Youzhou, so he really wouldn't give Yuan Shao face.
"The leader of this alliance sees that you have the upper hand. Taking advantage of Lu Bu and Elai's weak physical strength, there is a chance to win the Hulao Pass, so he can't bear to call Jin to withdraw the army, so as not to lose the good opportunity. Don't misunderstand, Bogui."
"Bogui and you have come back from victory. You have worked hard and made great achievements. I, Yuan Benchu, are here to offer you a toast."
Yuan Shao held the wine bottle and toasted Gongsun Zan.
"Come on this!"
Gongsun Zan flicked his cloak, left the main tent of the princes' army, and returned to his camp.
Liu Dai, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and other princes have different expressions.
Yuan Shao wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only to defeat Dong Zhuo, but also to consume the troops of other princes.
But the other vassals are not stupid, and seeing Yuan Shao's thoughts, their temper may not be very good.
Gongsun Zan was the first to turn his face, and the other princes found that the alliance was not indestructible, and their hearts were scattered.
Qin Kai hasn't turned his back on Yuan Shao yet, but this beam has already been formed.
"Yuan Benchu's name does not match the truth, and people's hearts have been lost. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do anything. Our Jingzhou army should maintain its strength. Consolidate Jingzhou to observe the changes of the times."
Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, but he was able to get the support of the Jingzhou family. In addition to his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it was also inseparable from Liu Biao's ability.
Liu Biao is not just the master of success.
Yuan Fang, the leader of Shuijingmen, followed Liu Biao. Yuan Shao secretly tricked Qin Kai, Gongsun Zan and others, which was a good thing for him.
Emperor Qing who took refuge in Yuan Shao was also watching the play.
The heroes of Kanto basically have player gangs attached to them. After all, other players don't have the prefect position like Qin Kai.
The princes from all walks of life broke up unhappy and returned to their camps.
"Brother Xing, I thought you had an accident! It's great that you're still alive! Come on, let's have a drink!"
Holding the wine jar, Pan Feng broke into Qin Kai's camp and found his sworn brother Xing Daorong.
Xing Daorong said angrily: "You Jizhou Shepherd Han Fu and Bohai Governor Yuan Shao are really insidious. You didn't call for gold to withdraw troops, and you didn't send troops to respond. I was almost cheated to death by them!"
"Brother, don't be angry. I was very upset when I found out about this. If I didn't live under the fence, I would lead my troops to meet my brother."
Pan Feng is also in a dilemma. On the one hand, he is sworn brothers, and on the other hand, is the protagonist Han Fu.
"Han Fu is doomed to have no future if he follows that kid Yuan Shao, so it's better to hang out with big brother. From now on, the two of us will travel across the world and follow the example of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing!"
Xing Daorong held the wine bowl and drank with Pan Feng, impassioned.
Hearing this, Pan Feng's blood was surging, and he formed a group with Xing Daorong to make their debut. They will travel across the world and become famous in history. This idea is not bad.
"It's just that, if we two brothers join forces, I'm afraid we are not Lu Bu's opponent."
"We can find a few sworn brothers and work together, so what about Lu Bu?"
"It makes sense! Brother, let me go back and think about it for a few days!"
Pan Feng was so drunk that he agreed with all his heart.
The next day, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang and other princes formed the third batch of vassal armies and continued to attack Hulao Pass.
Liu Biao sent General Wen Pin, Liu Yan sent Zhang Ren, and the other princes sent Dian Wei, Fang Yue, Han Hao and other generals.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, the offensives of Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Liu Dai and other princes were obviously weaker than the first and second rounds of offensives.
Although Wen Pin and Zhang Ren are famous generals, Liu Biao and Liu Yan secretly instructed them to release water and preserve their strength, which just means fighting for several hours.
The third group of princes attacked Hulao Pass for several days, and then it was the turn of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Kong Ni, Yuan Yi and other princes to attack the city.
Yan Liang, Ji Ling, Zhang He and other generals went into battle, while Lu Bu, E Lai and other generals had almost recovered their physical strength.
Yuan Shao was better at preserving his strength than Liu Biao and Liu Yan. Lu Bu appeared at the Hulao Pass with Fang Tian's painted halberd on his shoulder, and Yuan Shao hurriedly called for gold to withdraw his troops.
The other princes were even more dissatisfied, but under Dong Zhuo's threat, they were unable to fight.
Yuan Fang, Emperor Qing and other player leaders were more active than Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes in order to gain points for the event, and tens of thousands of players were killed or injured.
"Dong Zhuo is going to move his capital..."
Qin Kai fished in troubled waters in the camp of the Kwantung heroes, and discovered that Dong Zhuo had secretly sent troops to relocate the population of Luoyang, and sent troops to plunder Luoyang's gold and silver treasures. He knew that Dong Zhuo planned to abandon Luoyang and manage Guanzhong.
The armies of the feudal lords and Dong Zhuo's army were evenly matched. Dong Zhuo had killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of soldiers at Hulao Pass, and he wanted to reward the Qiang, Hun, Baibo, Heishan, and Xiliang rebels. Dong Zhuo couldn't last long.
The armies of the feudal lords confronted Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass for another month, and the feudal lords were unwilling to contribute because they were guarding against the ally leader Yuan Shao.
In Luoyang City, Niu Fu led the Xiliang Army to relocate the population of Luoyang. The Xiliang Army took the opportunity to loot the gold and silver treasures in the city, and the city was raging with flames.
After relocating the population of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army retreated from the Hulaoguan camp one by one.
It just so happened that all the princes collectively performed poorly, and the Xiliang Army was able to withdraw from Hulao Pass without any pressure at all.
"Dong Zhuo is going to manage Qinchuan for eight hundred miles in Guanzhong. Let's return to Liangzhou and turn Liangzhou into our territory. The cavalry in Xiliang are no worse than soldiers in other states."
Ma Teng led Ma Chao, Pang De and Liangzhou cavalry to retreat overnight.
"Let's go back to Hedong."
The leaders of the Baibo army, Guo Da, Yang Feng, Han Xian and others, led hundreds of thousands of Baibo troops, retreating in the direction of Mengjin.
"General, Luoyang City is on fire!"
Xu Huang's lieutenant pointed in the direction of Luoyang City.
"Sure enough, as those strangers predicted, Dong Zhuo will burn Luoyang... We will follow Yang Feng and do evil. There is no future at all."
Xu Huang was disappointed by Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang, and Yang Feng, the general of the Baibo army, was not as good as a middle-class Kwantung prince.
"What does the general mean?"
Xu Huang's subordinates looked at Xu Huang in surprise.
"We might as well abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and go to the princes of the Guandong." Xu Huang made up his mind, "Those who don't want to go with me can go back to Hedong, and I will not pursue it."
"This……"
Xu Huang's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay. In the end, thousands of people stayed, and the others followed the Baibo army back to Hedong.
The Liangzhou army withdrew overnight, leaving behind a dilapidated Hulao Pass.
The heroes of the Kwantung were on guard against each other, and no one was willing to pursue them. The next day, only banners and scarecrows were left at Hulao Pass.
Li Ru set up an empty city plan, and the Kwantung heroes did not dare to enter Hulao Pass for a while.
Qin Kai rode Qiongqi and wandered around Hulao Pass. He was sure that there were no defenders at Hulao Pass, so he returned to the camp and led the Liaoxi Army into Hulao Pass.
Seeing that Qin Kai had entered Hulao Pass, the other princes did not encounter Dong Zhuo's army, so they also led troops to enter Hulao Pass one after another and marched towards Luoyang.
"Dong Zhuo actually took the initiative to abandon Luoyang and Hulao."
Cao Cao was a little surprised when he learned that Dong Zhuo had moved his capital.
Xiahou Dun said: "Is it possible that Dong Zhuo was afraid of us, so he ran away?"
"Dong Zhuo's advance is based on retreat, causing the Kwantung heroes to fight among themselves. It won't be long before the allied forces of the princes will collapse. It seems that the general trend is unstoppable."
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Dong Zhuo hijacked the emperor and went to Chang'an. Now it will be even more difficult to help the Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei also sighed.
The princes and soldiers were distracted, and it would be good to hit Luoyang, let alone Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo destroyed Luoyang City, causing the armies of the princes to lose supplies and the ability to march into Chang'an.
"People's hearts are going to disperse. After we repair the palace in Luoyang, we will go back home."
Sun Jian saw that there was discord among the princes' armies. He was powerless all the way to the princes. The only thing he could do was to repair the palace in Luoyang.
Qin Kai led the team to enter Luoyang City first.
"Ding! The armies of the feudal lords successfully conquered Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, the hidden conditions of the event are fulfilled, and all players in Dong Zhuo's camp score x 1.5."
"Ding! The crusade against Dong Zhuo is over, and personal points, gang points, and lord points will no longer be counted. After three days, players can use their points to exchange for personal items, gang items, and territory items."
"Ding! Because Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an and established the Liang Kingdom, the Han Dynasty collapsed, and the Three Kingdoms region entered a state of separatism. After the princes and players from all over the country actually control a county, county, or state, they can proclaim themselves county magistrates, prefects, and state shepherds. Personal reputation is enough , You can call yourself a general."
The moment Qin Kai's troops entered Luoyang City, a system notification sounded.
As long as the soldiers and horses of the princes' army occupy Luoyang, the crusade against Dong Zhuo will come to an end.
In the future, players and princes will not have to look at the face of the court, and seize the territory at will!
For a while, many Three Kingdoms player gangs were ecstatic.
In the future, I finally don't have to care about the appointment of the court!
As long as you have soldiers and horses, you can even call yourself the invincible general of the universe!
"Dong Zhuo is really ruthless. Luoyang City has a population of tens of millions. The Xiliang army used the excuse of moving the capital to search for gold and silver from the people of Luoyang, and searched the aristocratic families. Dong Zhuo got at least tens of millions of gold coins. The gold and silver treasures looted by Mausoleum, Dong Zhuo's strength has not been damaged, but has been strengthened. If Dong Zhuo manages Guanzhong for a few years, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo will still be the prince with the most troops..."
Qin Kai saw Luoyang City in ruins, and the Kwantung heroes attacked Dong Zhuo. Except for the players who could get points, the other princes lost troops and lost their generals, and did not get half of the benefits. No wonder the princes from all walks of life collectively failed.
Dong Zhuo got rich overnight because of looting the imperial city of Luoyang and the mausoleums of successive Han emperors.
Dong Zhuo also occupied the Guanzhong Plain. If he manages well, he may have a chance to unify the world.
Xun You shook his head: "Dong Zhuo's looting of Luoyang seems to have gained a lot of gold and silver treasures, but in fact it was at the cost of losing people's hearts. Dong Zhuo's forces are bound to have civil strife, so there is nothing to worry about."
Qin Kai looked sideways, Xun You is worthy of being a top-notch strategist in the Three Kingdoms, he knows the situation well, and even the civil strife in Dong Zhuo's forces can be foreseen in advance.
"Dong Bai is in our hands. As long as Dong Zhuo's power is in chaos, we have a chance to take over Dong Zhuo's power."
Qin Kai detained Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, and later had an excuse to intervene in Dong Zhuo's forces.
"Gongda, Dong Zhuo's retreat, the princes of all walks of life will surely collapse, what will you do from now on?"
Xun You followed Qin Kai to crusade against Dong Zhuo and had not yet become an official. Qin Kai worried that Xun You would choose to leave him after the princes' army disbanded.
If Xun You takes refuge with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes, he will be a troublesome enemy in the future.
Xun You smiled without saying a word, nor did he refuse.
Zhang Liao came to report: "My lord, the Changsha army led by Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, has arrived. Sun Jian is leading the army and is repairing the emperor's temple."
Sun Jian was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty at this time, becoming the second prince to enter Luoyang.
"Luoyang City has been turned into ruins. It is meaningless to compete for this city. Sun Jian repaired the Emperor's Temple just to make up for the regret of not being able to save the emperor. Let him do whatever he wants."
Qin Kai saw that Luoyang City was completely destroyed by Dong Zhuo, and it would take time and effort to rebuild Luoyang City, and the most important population had to migrate from other places.
Even if Qin Kai occupied Luoyang, it would be meaningless. Luoyang City would become an enclave.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the city of Luoyang was once abandoned, and it was only revitalized decades later.
Other princes from all walks of life came one after another and set up camp outside Luoyang City.
Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao became enemies. Seeing that Dong Zhuo had retreated to Guanzhong, Gongsun Zan simply led his troops back to Youbeiping and became the first prince to leave.
Li Ru's plan to move the capital made the armies of the princes lose their targets and disintegrate faster.
"As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Benchu didn't try to rescue the emperor, but intrigues, which is disappointing. Xuande, I see the world as real heroes, but there are only a few people, and you are one of them. You are in the plains, only one county away. Why don’t you come to Xuzhou and serve me. I will make you Minister of Pei and garrison Xiaopei. If something happens to me in the future, you will take over from me as Xuzhou’s shepherd.”
In the Xuzhou military camp, Tao Qian entertained Liu Bei, hoping to recruit Liu Bei to work for him.
Tao Qian's proposal made Liu Bei's heart skip a beat.
Although Liu Bei lives as the Han clan, which of the Han clan relatives Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Dai is not closer to the Han clan than Liu Bei?
Among the heroes of the Kanto, Liu Bei has the lowest position, and he is still only a county magistrate.
Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, and the Three Kingdoms District entered the stage of vying for the throne. As long as he occupied the territory, he could proclaim himself the prefect and state herdsman.
Tao Qian, as Xuzhou Mu, can appoint prefects and county magistrates in Xuzhou counties.
Pei Guoguoxiang, the status is equivalent to the prefect.
Tao Qian admired Liu Bei and wanted to train Liu Bei as his successor.
Although Tao Qian has two sons, Tao Qian's two sons are more mediocre than Cao Bao and Mi Fang. In the troubled times when the lords are competing for the throne, they are in charge of Xuzhou, which may lead to the ruin of the Tao family.
Zhang Fei knew what Tao Qian's appreciation meant, so he said carelessly: "Since Xu Zhoumu appreciates elder brother, why not be this prime minister!"
Guan Yu also believed that Liu Bei's promotion from Pingyuanling to Peixiang was an opportunity for Liu Bei: "Brother, we have to give Xuzhou herd face."
Liu Bei shook his head: "The plain belongs to Qingzhou, and there are still remnants of the Yellow Turbans active in Qingzhou. How can we just sit idly by and go to Peiguo? Thank you Xuzhou Mu for your kindness. If Xuzhou Mu has anything to do in the future, Bei will be there whenever you are called."
"it is good!"
Tao Qian was very excited when he got Liu Bei's promise, and had a drink with Liu Bei before letting Liu Bei go back.
When Liu Bei returned to his camp, Guan Yu asked, "Tao Qian asked the eldest brother to be the Minister of Pei and station the troops of Xiao Pei. Why did my lord refuse?"
Liu Bei sighed: "Xuzhou is the territory of the Xuzhou gentry. When we stationed in Xuzhou, we will undoubtedly overwhelm the host. We will be under the fence of others and be controlled by others everywhere. It is better to recruit troops in the plains and crusade against the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou."
Zhang Fei said: "Brother said, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Sooner or later, our three brothers will make a name for themselves!"
After Liu Guanzhang left, Mi Fang entered Tao Qian's tent.
"Zi Fang, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing that it was Mi Fang, Tao Qian had no choice but to give Mi Fang face.
The Mi family behind Mi Fang is the most wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, rich as a country, and Tao Qian still relies on the funding of the Mi family, so he appointed Mi Fang as a general.
Mi Fang said: "I've heard a stranger say that Liu Bei is a master who 'restrains the master's fate', and the lord he takes refuge in will be killed. This matter is so mysterious, you must believe it, and you must not let Liu Bei come to Xuzhou."
Tao Qian frowned: "Nonsense, how can there be such a fate in the world?"
Tao Qian scolded Mi Fang, Mi Fang was sullen, and quit Tao Qian's tent.
Mi Fang really wasn't alarmist, it was true that Liu Bei was protected by a real dragon to restrain the lord.
However, Mi Fang also had her own considerations.
Mi Fang learned that she and Guan Yu did not get along, so she no longer wanted to join Liu Bei.
If Liu Bei takes control of Xuzhou, then history will repeat itself.
"How is it? Will Master Zhou still accept Liu Bei?"
Cao Bao saw Mi Fang coming out of Tao Qian's camp, so he inquired about the tone.
Cao Bao was beheaded by Zhang Fei in history, of course he didn't want Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou.
Cao Bao was at odds with Zhang Fei, Mi Fang was at odds with Guan Yu, and both were trying to prevent Tao Qian from accepting Liu Bei.
Mi Fang shook her head: "The state shepherd appreciates Liu Bei very much, but Liu Bei will not want to come to Xuzhou for a while."
Cao Bao temporarily breathed a sigh of relief: "If Liu Bei comes to Xuzhou, with his relationship with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, our status will not be guaranteed, let alone, maybe we will die at the hands of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Even if Xuzhou is handed over to others, Can't give it to Liu Bei."
"This statement is justified. If my elder brother helps Liu Bei again, I will force him to die."
Mi Fang and Cao Bao reached an agreement.
After Gongsun Zan left, Liu Bei, Tao Qian, and Kong Rong returned to Qingzhou and Xuzhou successively.
There are still many Yellow Turbans active in Qingzhou, and Liu Bei and Kong Rong are in dire straits.
Tao Qian focused on self-protection and didn't want to continue to march into Guanzhong, so he left with the Xuzhou army.
Han Fu, governor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, prefect of Bohai, and other princes saw that Emperor Ling of Han was hijacked by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an City. Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself emperor directly, but the Han court existed in name only. emperor.
Liu Yu refused and led his troops back to Youzhou.
The four princes of Youzhou, Gongsundu, the prefect of Liaodong, joined Dong Zhuo's camp.
Gongsun Zan, prefect of Youbeiping, returned to Youbeiping County.
Liu Yu, shepherd of Youzhou, returned to Jixian County.
Only Qin Kai was left alone, and he was not in a hurry to leave.
Han Fu and Yuan Shao were rejected by Liu Yu, making it boring for themselves, and the princes from all walks of life left one after another, so they announced the disbandment of the princes' army and left separately.
During this period, Yuan Shao sent people to divorce Zhang Miao and Dian Wei, but they failed. Zhang Miao felt resentful towards Yuan Shao.
"Yuan Shao went to Jizhou, and now I actually control Yuzhou. If Liu Biao has not established a firm foothold in Jingzhou, he can conquer Xiangyang and occupy Jingzhou, and he will become the hegemony. Wentai, I will leave it to you to crusade against Liu Biao. "
After Yuan Shao retreated, Yuan Shu secretly summoned Sun Jian.
Yuan Shu had great ambitions. After controlling the two big counties of Nanyang County and Runan County, he wanted to annex Jingzhou.
Sun Jian frowned: "Xiangyang is a huge city. Liu Biao has the support of Jingzhou gentry and Jianghu gang 'Shuijingmen'. With my strength, I am afraid that Xiangyang will not be captured."
"I will raise seven armies to help you attack Xiangyang, and you will be the vanguard. With your talents and ours, it will be difficult for the two of us to attack Xiangyang! Don't tell me, Wentai, you don't listen to me anymore?"
Yuan Shu had a serious face.
Ji Ling was useless, and under Yuan Shu's command, the only generals who could really fight were Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son.
"Don't dare. Since the general insists on attacking Jingzhou, Sun please be the vanguard."
Sun Jian relied on the weapons, food and grass provided by Yuan Shu, and he had to bow his head under the eaves.
"Before Liu Biao returns to Xiangyang, gather troops in Wancheng."
"As ordered."
Sun Jian led his troops away from Luoyang and rushed to the teleportation formation in Xingyang.
"No, Sun Jian has been traveling day and night. Could it be that he wants to attack Jingzhou! Lord Inspector should break out of the camp immediately and return to Xiangyang!"
Yuan Fang, the leader of Shuijingmen, had been secretly paying attention to Sun Jian's movements. After Sun Jian withdrew his troops, he immediately reminded Liu Biao to return to Xiangyang.
Liu Biao's Jingzhou army retreated in a hurry.
"Everyone is gone, we should go too."
Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, and other princes saw that the Kwantung heroes fell apart, and they led their troops away one after another.
Only Qin Kai, Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Chao remained in Luoyang City.
Of the mighty allied forces of the princes, there are less than a million soldiers and horses left.
With this little force, marching into Guanzhong is just to give away the heads of Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
"The feudal lords have already begun to fight among themselves. Sooner or later, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Liu Biao will fight for Jingzhou. They may be the first batch of vassals to attack each other."
Qin Kai learned that Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian hadtily retreated and gathered troops in Wancheng and Xiangyang. He knew that Yuan Shu wanted to eliminate Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, and replace him.
Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou was occupied by Yuan Shu, Changsha County in the south was occupied by Sun Jian, and Liu Biao's Nan County was caught in the middle. Due to geographical reasons, there would be a war sooner or later.
Yuan Shu has great ambitions, and he can't wait to annex Jingzhou.
"And if I want to occupy the entire Youzhou, I need to defeat Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du, Liu Yu and other Youzhou princes, as well as the large player gangs in Youzhou. Without the shackles of the imperial court, I can attack the city openly."
Qin Kai is also looking for targets.
To the east of Liaoxi County is Liaodong County, which is currently the territory of Gongsun Du.
To the west of Liaoxi County is Youbeiping County, which is Gongsun Zan's territory.
Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, could not threaten Qin Kai in a short time.
Therefore, there are two expansion directions that Qin Kai can choose, either eastward expansion or westward expansion.
"Fengxiao, Ziyang, attacking, what do you think? Annex Liaodong, or right Beiping?"
Qin Kai looked at the map of Youzhou and asked the three advisers for their opinions.
"Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu have a grudge, and the two are bound to attack each other. In the short term, there is no need to consider Gongsun Zan's threat. Liaodong and Liaoxi are adjacent. It is better to first determine Liaodong, and then advance to attack and retreat to defend."
"My opinion is consistent with Feng Xiao's."
"same."
All three counselors believed that Liaodong was more important than Youbeiping.
Qin Kai nodded.
The potential of Liaodong is definitely higher than that of Liaoxi Corridor.
Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, and Gongsun Yuan's clan, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, were veritable kings of Liaodong, emperors of one side of the land, until Sima Yi led troops to pacify Liaodong.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to climate reasons, the development of Liaodong was very low.
But in "The World", because many players have established villages in Liaodong, Liaodong has great potential.
In history, there are countless dynasties or vassal states that made their fortunes in Liaodong.
Regardless of the distance, in the two Jin Dynasties after the Three Kingdoms, the Murong family was the overlord of Liaodong, and once swept the Central Plains.
Occupying Liaodong, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. You can also plunder the population of Koryo from time to time.
"Then destroy Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong first."
Since the three counselors agreed, Qin Kai chose Gongsun Du as the victim.
"It's time to return to western Liaoning."
"My lord, Xu Huang, the general of the Baibo army, has come here with his troops!"
When Qin Kai was about to lead his troops to retreat, Xu Huang led thousands of Baibo troops, broke away from Yang Feng's army in Mengjin, went south to Luoyang, and defected to Qin Kai.
Qin Kai defeated Xu Huang at Hulao Pass, and Xu Huang believed that it would be more promising to follow Qin Kai.
