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

Wancheng.

Yuan Shao woke up from a coma with a towel on his forehead and big blisters at the corners of his mouth due to shortness of breath.

"Water...water..."

Yuan Shang, who had been staying by Yuan Shao's side, stood up excitedly: "Father! Father is awake!"

Yuan Shao has been in coma for ten days, and his fever persisted yesterday. The military doctor said that if he could not survive, he would have to prepare for his funeral, which frightened everyone.

History has changed, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao turned from rivals to allies in the Battle of Guandu; history has not changed, Yuan Shao was still defeated in the Battle of Guandu, and his defeat was worse than history.

Historically, Yuan Shao was defeated and fled to Guandu, and he still had Jizhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou as his basic base. Now Yuan Shao only has Nanyang County left.

"Father!"

"Lord!"

Hearing Yuan Shao's shouts, everyone who had been guarding him also gathered around.

"Quick! Get water!"

After drinking a pot of water, Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at everyone, "Ziyuan..."

"The minister is here."

"How many days have I been in coma? Where am I now?"

"My lord, you have been unconscious for ten days. We just arrived in Nanyang four days ago."

"Nanyang...Ziyuan, you mean Yuzhou..."

"My lord, I boldly suggested that you abandon Yuzhou. Guandu was defeated, and Liu Han's cavalry was able to gallop across the plains of Yuzhou. We are short of troops. Instead of defending, it is better to abandon Yuzhou and delay Liu Han's attack. I am good at making my own decisions, so I apologize for this." ”

After saying this, Xu You kowtowed to Yuan Shao.

Xu You was greedy for money, but more afraid of death. In the Battle of Guandu in history, because of Yuan Shao's insults, he defected to Cao Cao and burned Wuchao, which ultimately led to Yuan Shao's defeat at Guandu.

But now, although Xu You also wants to defect to Liu Han, if Liu Han's people find out that he was involved in the Xianbei's southward movement and the Qiang rebellion, the end will surely be even more miserable.

Therefore, Xu You had no choice but to assist Yuan Shao even more.

"It's been ten days? How is the situation now?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to speak.

"Say! I'm like this now, there's nothing I can't stand!"

"Here."

Xu You gritted his teeth and said: "In the battle of Guandu, our side suffered heavy losses. Less than five hundred people escaped from Chenliu by taking a small road. Chunyu Qiong and Guo Tu were captured. The only ones who escaped were the eldest son, me, and Zhong Yuanchang. (Character: Zhong Yao). At the same time, Liu Pi and Gong Du also came to Nanyang the day before yesterday with less than a hundred remaining troops. "

After Xu You finished speaking, he quietly waited for Yuan Shao to speak.

At this time, a subordinate came to report: "My lord, my wife has been transferred from Pingyu to Nanyang."

This is the only good news since the defeat.

There are still 10,000 troops stationed in Nanyang, and the remnants of the troops who escaped can barely manage 500. Although Runan left in a hurry, there are still 3,000 troops.

"Yuan Chang, what do you think we should do next?"

"My lord, there are currently two Han armies bordering Nanyang. One is from Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun's tribe in the north, and the other is from Liu Han's tribe in Yuzhou. What I mean is that your lord can leave one man to guard Wancheng and lead most of them to Xinye. Make Xinye the new administrative center.”

"Why?" Feng Ji wondered. If it was stronger than the city, rich in supplies, and population, Xinye couldn't compare to Wancheng in any of them.

"If my lord stays behind and completes the task, we will need to send troops to Luyang in the north of Nanyang and Duyang in the northwest. Together with Wancheng, our few troops will have to be divided into at least three places."

Everyone nodded, there are not many people at hand now, if we divide the troops again, it will be a sure way to death. But it doesn't work if you don't divide your troops. You must have strategic depth. What's the point of all huddled in Wancheng? Otherwise, if someone calls you, you won't have any defense at all.

"It is not the case when my lord goes to Xinye. The previous problems will no longer be a problem. Luyang and Duyang do not need large armies to be stationed. They only need a small group of scouts to explore, and the strategic depth will be there."

"Secondly, the city of Wancheng is strong. Once the Han army goes south to attack Nanyang, it will inevitably be unable to bypass Wancheng. It will give them a severe blow. In addition, there are defenders in Xinye as support. It will be twice as difficult for the Han army to capture Wancheng."

"The third and most important point is that Xinye is only 120 miles away from Xiangyang. My lord is in Xinye, which is a barrier for Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If Nanyang is lost, Jingzhou will be difficult to protect. My lord may as well make friends with Liu Biao, form an alliance with him, and help each other. "

Everyone is convinced that the situation in the Han Dynasty is getting clearer day by day, and Liu Han has become the general trend. Xuzhou is in turmoil. First, Tao Qian died of illness, and then Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou. However, before he could cover up the heat, Lu Bujiu occupied the magpie's nest. Although there was external pressure, but There must be a battle between the two sides.

There is Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, but Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, is not like a person who can live under others for a long time, so Yuan Shu's hidden dangers are not small.

Not to mention Liangzhou. Although Liu Han did not send troops to Liangzhou, the Liangqiang people in Hanyang, Anding, and Beidi counties close to the Sanfu land did not dare to rebel, and most of them even huddled in Xiliang to lick their wounds.

After several years of war, only Jingzhou and Yizhou, where Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, who were also members of the Han clan, lived, were not destroyed and were very wealthy.

Liu Biao was old and not a talented person, but he was an able minister of the people who defended the land and herdsmen.

Cure corruption and violence first, and then practice benevolence and righteousness. Loving the people and raising scholars is the best way to live among tigers and wolves.

Liu Biao's benevolence is to do his best to open up a paradise in troubled times and provide a refuge for people who are suffering from persecution.

But it is a pity that this Taoyuan Township cannot exist for a long time.

No one can survive alone in the rolling torrent. Sooner or later, he will be swept away by the whirlpool of the times.

In many cases, benevolence and justice can become a crime. Liu Biao's crime was that he didn't know, or was unwilling to accept the disintegration of the Han Dynasty.

If the world is ruled by peace, Liu Biao will definitely be able to serve as a famous minister, assisting the country in managing the people, and creating a prosperous world. And what kind of threat can a middle-aged scholar who knows nothing about military affairs pose in troubled times?
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. Jingzhou, the place where four battles were fought, is guarded by a dog. How can he not lose it?

In today's troubled times, there are four kinds of people.

One type is the Western Han people, who are dedicated to the perfection of personal virtues and are impeccable and impeccable, but they are out of date. For example, Zheng Xuan.

One type is the Eastern Han Dynasty people, who are chic and gorgeous, and believe that the glory of the prosperous age can be recreated, and the seeds of the old age can grow into towering trees. For example, Cai Yong, Xun Yu, and Liu Biao.

There is also a kind of person who penetrates the deep twilight atmosphere, crushes the dead bones in the grave, and opens up a new world, such as Liu Han and Cao Cao.

The last type is to live in obscurity, following the waves, without any belief or persistence, and seizing the opportunity to indulge in carnivalesque. For example, Sun Quan and Er Yuan.

Therefore, while Liu Biao was still congratulating himself on having an extra free gatekeeper in the north, he had already begun plotting against Jingzhou in his hands.

After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he suddenly saw soldiers coming in: "Report! Lord! The latest information is that Liu Han entered Yingchuan and massacred the entire Zhong family in Changshe."

"what?!"

Yuan Shao couldn't believe it.

"what!"

Zhong Yao fainted when he heard this bolt from the blue.

As soon as Yuan Shao woke up, Zhong Yao fainted again. It was really a leak in the house and it rained all night.

(Don’t ask, it’s because I don’t like Zhong Hui and want to kill him.) (End of chapter)
