The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

The second year of Chuping was full of great events.

First, Yuan Shu invaded Nanyang, then Sun Jian died in battle, and Liu Biao launched a counterattack against Yuan Shu.

Later, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans entered Yanzhou, and the western part of Qingzhou was a scorched earth. Cao Cao took this opportunity to enter Dongjun and gain a foothold.

In winter, the Battle of Jieqiao broke out in Shandong; after Dong Zhuo was assassinated in Shanxi, Li Jue and Guo Fan counterattacked Chang'an. Wang Yun died and Lu Bu fled.

That is to say, in the winter of this year, as Liu Han went south to Jizhou and flew to Chang'an, the situation changed 180 degrees.

First, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan, and then Gongsun Zan fled eastward to Qingzhou. Before Yuan Shao could react, Liu Han's 150,000 troops pressed on the border, severely injuring Yuan Shao and swallowing the fruits of victory in one gulp, taking the entire Jizhou.

After that, Liu Han did not let the army repair, but led an army of 100,000 to Chang'an, wiped out the three auxiliary rebels, and devoured Sili, and captured two states in one winter.

After the Qingzhou Yellow Turban surrendered to Cao Cao, in the last month of this winter, Yuan Shao drove away Yuan Shu with the help of Cao Cao and regained a foothold in Yuzhou. Yuan Shu also occupied Jiujiang and Danyang with the help of Sun, and took over Yangzhou on his own. Pastoral.

Among these major events, Lu Bu's escape from Chang'an can indeed only be regarded as a small splash.

Lu Bu chose to form an alliance with Yuan Shu for three reasons: First, Lu Bu did not dare to escape all the way east to Hangu Pass. Because at that time, there might be follow-up troops of Li Jue and Guo Fan in the east. Therefore, Lu Bu chose to leave for Shandong from Wuguan in the southeast.

Second, Lu Bu was holding Dong Zhuo's head. The Kanto nobles hated Dong Zhuo, the great devil. He believed that no matter who Dong Zhuo's head was given to, they would have a place to live. This was his iron meal ticket in the Kanto region.

The Kanto region, as a whole, has one superpower and multiple superpowers.

The first supernatural being refers to Liu Han, the king of Hejian. It is impossible for Lu Bu to join him. He has made a huge mistake. If he goes to Liu Han again, he is seeking death.

No matter how strong the remaining ones are, Er Yuan is the strongest. No matter you are Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, you are all members of the Yuan family. Dong Zhuo was the enemy of the Yuan family, and it was Dong Zhuo who ordered the killing of all the Yuan family. Therefore, Lu Bu believed that he was kind to the Yuan family by killing Dong Zhuo. With Dong Zhuo's head specimen in his hand, he would definitely get preferential treatment from the Yuan family.

Thirdly, Lu Bu felt that in the confrontation between the two Yuans at that time, Yuan Shu was relatively weak. Again, the icing on the cake can never be as good as providing help when the time is right. If you want to live in Guandong, you must integrate into the political environment of Guandong and learn to maintain a balance between the two sides. Then the hundreds of knights who defected to Yuan Shu may be more valuable than Yuan Shao.

When Lu Bu first arrived in Nanyang, he used troops and money to plunder and allowed his men to rob the people.

Maybe it was because he stayed in Dong Zhuo's place for a long time. Dong Zhuo's army always relied on robbing the people to maintain the army's combat effectiveness. Now that he came to Nanyang, he couldn't change this behavior pattern at once.

Maybe you managed to survive the catastrophe and escaped from the tiger's mouth. Now you are naturally relieved and urgently need a reward to celebrate your narrow escape.

It may also be that he was betrayed and used by powerful nobles many times, and Lu Bu couldn't bear to swallow it, so he wanted to take revenge on them.

Anyway, that's what Lu Bu did.

Can this Nanyang local snake agree?

You robbed everyone, so what should we rob?

Of course the local snakes in Nanyang cannot agree!

As a result, the two sides naturally clashed.

However, the funniest scene occurred. In Nanyang, for the first time in two hundred years since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, someone did not rely on rules or relationships to gain a foothold. Lu Bu, relying on force, stood firm!

The local snakes in Nanyang underestimated Lu Bu, or they underestimated the combat effectiveness of Lu Bu's men. After all, they were all killers who fought all the way, the best among the best.

When the princes attacked Dong, the powerful nobles of Nanyang did not realize the advantages and disadvantages of the Xiliang army. The last great chaos in Nanyang was when the Yellow Turbans surrounded Wancheng, but the party's imprisonment was lifted and the Yellow Turbans were suppressed within a few months.

At first, these local snakes in Nanyang also regarded Lu Bu as a yellow turban and a soft persimmon like Yuan Shu. But after the fight started, they realized that they had hit a brick wall.

Lu Bu really dared to go on a killing spree!

After the local snake in Nanyang faced Lu Bu's big blade, he re-examined how much he weighed and then made a decision: Since he can't beat him, he should be more cautious and not be embarrassed!

Lu Bu also chose to be more restrained. After all, he really made them anxious. If they fight to the death, the Han army on Henan Yin's side may take the opportunity to kill them.

The Nanyang nobles will be severely damaged, but he, Lu Bu, will definitely die.

In such a desperate situation, Lu Bu relied on the style of the Xiliang people, learned from Liu Han's methods, and used the Fangtian Painting Halberd in his hand to intensify his efforts to massacre the local snakes who resisted him, and successfully gained a foothold in Nanyang.

In the new year, everyone is very restrained and chooses to secretly accumulate strength. What they are fighting for now is time. While the sea surface was extremely calm, the bottom of the sea was turbulent.

Liu Han is preparing for the next war here, and other princes will naturally not be idle, especially Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who have the largest borders with Liu Han.

The two had a vague tendency to form an alliance, but Liu Bei was forced by Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao was forced by Yuan Shao, so both sides could only tacitly agree.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were naturally at odds with each other. Although there was no major battle, there were constant minor frictions between the two sides. It can be seen that both sides were trying their best to restrain themselves due to Liu Han's relationship.

In the past, Yuan Shao allied with Liu Biao to disgust Yuan Shu. Now the situation has changed. After learning that Lu Bu intended to form an alliance, Yuan Shu decisively chose to ally with Nanyang Lu Bu to disgust Yuan Shao.

As for Liu Biao?

Lu Bu occupied Nanyang, so it was a good thing not to go south to attack Jingzhou. Yuan Shao also sent envoys to Xiangyang, hoping to extend the alliance with Liu Biao, but none of the people sent saw Liu Biao. Obviously, he didn't want to.

Liu Biao's meaning is very simple. It doesn't matter how you fight, as long as you don't disturb me. Yuan Shao can't afford to offend him, but Lu Bu is closer to him. If neither of them wants to offend, then just turn a blind eye.

Now that the emperor of Chang'an has passed away, and the Han people are leaderless, I, Liu Biao, just want to hold on to my own one-third of an acre of land.

Yuan Shao was also distressed. Liu Biao's inaction made him feel uncomfortable but he could not get angry.

As for fighting?

It is impossible for Yuan Shao to fight.

First, I have just established a foothold in Yuzhou, so how can I have time to think about starting a war?

Second, even if a fight is forced, it will face the risk of war on the east and west sides. Once the war reaches a stalemate or is at a disadvantage, the Han army in the Sili area will definitely send troops to join the battlefield, and then they will face three parties.

Yuan Shao promised that he would never survive this time.

Therefore, as long as the fundamental interests were not involved, Yuan Shao could tolerate it and not argue with them.

Everyone is waiting for an opportunity to explode. No one is trustworthy. The best way is to quietly strengthen yourself. (End of chapter)
