Zhi Yuan nodded again, and then said to Cao Cao, "It doesn't matter, anyway, this Yuzhou is not my territory. And now we use this place as the boundary, so naturally the vicinity of Wuyang is also my territory."

"Although there is not much land, there is a small town and two or three villages here anyway. And thanks to brother Mengde, I have gained at least 7 people this time."

"Next time, if there is such a good thing, you can still come to me. I heard that Cheng Yu slaughtered a village in order to get food for Meng De and only got three days' worth of dried meat. At that time, I still felt very unbearable."

"But since I tasted the delicacy of this human flesh, brother Mengde must be careful in the future. If I defeat my brother and find you in person, I will taste the heart and liver of a man who kills everywhere. How delicious it is."

When Zhiyuan said this, she didn't have any emotion, and even had a slight smile on her face, but it made Cao Cao's subordinates feel a little cold.After all, to put it bluntly, this is also a matter of the bottom line. Once a person breaks through this bottom line, he may not care about many things in the future.

Cao Cao sighed, and then led the people away from here.As for Cao Ren...Cao Cao didn't say that he wanted Zhiyuan to release him. After all, it was impossible for Zhiyuan to release an enemy general.Not killing Cao Ren was Zhi Yuan's biggest bottom line, so Cao Cao didn't ask about it at all.

Then Cao Cao was near Kunyang and ordered Xia Houyuan to lead 5000 people to guard here, while he quickly digested other places in Yingchuan.And Zhi Yuan ordered Lei Bo and Chen Lan to gather the defeated soldiers and confront Cao Cao with Wu Yang as their defense.

As for the food, let's eat the dead first... There is not enough food and grass in Ye County.The temperature is already below 0 degrees, so many corpses of Cao Cao's subordinates can be stored for a long time.

It's completely impossible, and Zhiyuan doesn't want to do that... The only good thing is that Nanyang County has a good harvest this year, and after Jingzhou was annexed by Liu Bei, Zhiyuan also ordered him to quickly lead people northward.

Even if you can't enter Runan, at least you can come here from Nanyang County.Runan is the foundation of Yuan Shu. Although Yuan Shu has lost the news, it does not mean that Runan will directly surrender to him.

After all, Yan Xiang has some skills, if he forcibly attacks Runan, even if he wins, he will suffer a lot of casualties.It would be better to resolve it peacefully, if Yuan Shu died.

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhiyuan: "Princess, don't you go save Yuan Gonglu?"

Zhiyuan glanced at Zhuge Liang, then shook her head: "How to save him? I don't know where he is. And... I can feel that he is not dead."

"And I have a premonition that an enemy will come to Yingchuan, and I have to settle the score with him."

Zhiyuan sighed after finishing speaking, and then continued: "Does Ah Liang think I'm a little unfeeling?"

"As a woman, if you want to change this society, you have to be cautious. I admit that I have been using Yuan Shu, but it is a last resort. If there is any possibility, I will definitely go to save him."

"But now we can't even enter Yingchuan, so how can we go to a place as far away as Qiaocheng? Let it be. Since there is no news of Yuan Shu being arrested or killed, then it is good news."

Zhiyuan didn't say anything anymore, and Zhuge Liang wouldn't continue to ask.The two men led their troops back into Ye County, only to find that Pang Tong was actually distributing food here.After Zhi Yuan asked, he found out that none of Cao Cao's soldiers went to Pang Tong's side.

In addition, Pang Tong led people to occupy Fu County in Yingchuan, and obtained a lot of food from the local local tyrants and gentry.Hearing that there was a shortage of food in Ye County, Pang Tong directly led the team to transport the food and grass from his father's county back to Nanyang County.

Zhi Yuan praised Pang Tong for a while, and then a group of people confronted Cao Cao's soldiers here.They are waiting for reinforcements... that is, Liu Bei's army. Hearing that Cao Cao slaughtered civilians, Liu Bei directly handed over the work at hand to Sun Jian, and led 3 people to Zhiyuan's side.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei are old rivals, and their ideas are too different. I heard that Cao Cao is massacring the city again. Liu Bei, who has the ability to contend with Cao Cao, naturally travels day and night to Zhiyuan.

On Yuan Shao's side, there was another person who was also advancing towards Cao Cao's side. This person was Lu Bu who led less than [-] soldiers.

Lu Bu made his first ascent to Qiaocheng earlier, and naturally he would ask for a reward from Yuan Shao after the war.However, Yuan Shao was burned to death by a fire in Yuan Shu, Qiaocheng, and more than 5000 people were choked to death.And because there is no food, there is no good attitude to see Lu Bu in time.

But Lu Bu doesn't care about this, if you don't pay us, we will break up.And you are in Yuzhou now, if you break up, don't blame me for going back to Jizhou, get some money from your lair to make up for my loss.

There's really nothing to do about it, after all, I'm too scared to be stunned.Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and collected fifty catties of gold for Lv Bu, and told Lv Bu that the rest of the money would be brought to Lv Bu by himself after the next grain and grass transportation from Jizhou arrived.

Although the fifty catties was a bit small compared to the reward Yuan Shu had set, the money could still be used by his subordinates.Lu Bu snorted and waited slowly, anyway, he was not in a hurry.

But Yuan Shao didn't intend to let Lu Bu be by his side, so when he sent people to chase Yuan Shu, he also inquired about Cao Cao's situation.If you don't ask, you don't know that Yuan Shao is happy... Tang Zhiyuan is here.

So Lu Bu left Yuan Shao's side and led 2 people to Yingchuan to join Cao Cao.After all, the kite is here. For Lu Bu, the prey was run away last time, and this time he will definitely keep the prey to make himself feel better.

Let this kind of woman who looks down on her have sex under her own body, the feeling is really conquering.While Lu Bu came from Qiaocheng, he ransacked the nearby villages and towns.

This time, not only women are needed, but men are needed... Some of these men will become slaves carrying food and grass, and most of them will be organized by Lu Bu as auxiliary soldiers. When Lu Bu comes to Cao Cao's side , He already has more than 4 soldiers and more than 3 slaves under him.

The war caused considerable damage to towns and cities. Yuzhou, which was originally managed well by Yuan Shu, had more than 100 million deaths within a year.About half of the civilians may have died in the flames of war, and more civilians will soon die in the flames of war.

But in Yingchuan City in Yingchuan County, Cao Cao was considering retreating.Because the emperor's edict has reached Cao Cao, Chang'an will not be able to keep it.....

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Ma Teng's side is close to 20 Xiliang troops, and finally stepped onto the stage of history.And for the first time, he went directly to Chang'an, and the city of Chang'an has been besieged for nearly a year now.

Like the locusts crossing the border, the Liangzhou army swept the entire Yongzhou.And under Ma Chao's bravery, he took down several important cities such as Fly Pond and Xin'an, and approached Hangu Pass.

Hangu Pass is the first pass of Luoyang Eight Passes, where Lu Bu's subordinate and friend Zhang Yang led 5000 people to station here.

5000 people are at Hangu Pass, and Ma Chao can't beat 5 people.In history, there are not many places where one man is the gate and ten thousand men are not open, but Hangu Pass is definitely one of them!

So... Some people in later generations debated whether Wei Yanqi's attack on Ziwu Valley could be successful, and even made a lot of sayings that Zhuge Liang dared not fight for stability, that is simply nonsense...

Is there a fart for taking Chang'an?Wei Yan first had to bet on his luck that there was no defense in Ziwu Valley, and then he had to bet that the one in Chang'an was hit by a mental attack and abandoned the city and fled.Then you have to bet that Zhuge Liang can defeat Zhang Yun and come from Longyou to join Wei Yan in Chang'an, and finally you have to bet that Hangu Pass can be taken by yourself.

Because Hangu Pass is not taken down, the army of Wei State will continue to attack Chang'an from here, and the whole Yongzhou has no danger to defend.

With such a gamble, one percent chance is to exaggerate Wei Yan.Afraid that Zhuge Liang's head might have gotten into gutter oil, he agreed to Wei Yan's surprise attack on Meridian Valley.

It's far away... The situation in the entire Yongzhou has become that except for Chang'an, it is under the control of the Xiliang Army, but the Xiliang Army cannot defeat Hangu Pass.

However, the emperor was completely trapped in Chang'an, and the casualties of soldiers gradually increased over time.And I don't know where the Xiliang army got the food. 20 people have carried it for a year, and now they seem to be short of food.

But it was also because of the lack of food that the siege became more and more intense. Veteran Xu Rong's hair turned half gray, because they had fewer and fewer people available.

In the end, the whole Chang'an was turned upside down, and all the household slaves of the gentry were pulled out.There are still strong men between fifteen and forty who have been pulled out, and they can barely gather tens of thousands to stand in a stalemate here, but it is obvious that they can't resist for long.

What should I do?

Salad.

Although Hangu Pass was within the control of Liu Xie and Wang Yun, they couldn't get through it at all.

So Wang Yun, who had no choice but to discuss, simply asked the princes of Guanzhong for help.Don't count on Qingzhou, and Yuan Shao's ambitions are too great, so Cao Cao is the only one left for them to choose.

I asked Lu Bu to go to Cao Cao, but there has been no response yet.But he must be the one who died after dragging on. Wang Yun had no choice but to find Xu Rong and ask him to send a death squad to meet Cao Cao through the area controlled by the Xiliang Army.

And ordered Cao Cao to bring people into Yongzhou to calm the chaos and meet the emperor, and if it happened, he would give Cao Cao the position of general.

Xu Rong sent out 50 people, and in the end a few actually escaped from Yongzhou in makeup to meet Cao Cao.And Cao Cao thought that this is indeed an opportunity...

A counselor had said to Cao Cao before that he would serve the emperor to beg his ministers, but now the emperor gave himself such a chance.If we stay with Yuan Shao in Yuzhou, we won't get any benefits, so it's better to go north with the main force to get righteousness.

At this time, Lu Bu happened to be in Yingchuan. Cao Cao was very magnanimous when he thought about it, and he let Lu Bu enter Kunyang City directly, and told Lu Bu that Princess Xiangping was confronting him in Nanyang County.

Lu Bu wanted to get Zhiyuan, and Zhiyuan naturally wanted to kill Lu Bu.Cao Cao controlled Yingchuan City by himself, and basically took over half of Yingchuan County, so...he can basically escape perfectly here.

So after Cao Cao explained to Lu Bu, he led his soldiers back to Yanzhou.Because they are going to Chang'an to save the emperor, the more people the better, after all, the Xiliang army is as high as 20, and the number of people going is not enough to kill the opponent.

At this time, in the west of Bingzhou, Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army ushered in a team. This team can have more than 5 people, but most of them are the same as refugees.

The leading woman is Zhang Baiqi, who has been away from Montenegro for a long time.But fortunately, his own child, the son of Pei Yuanshao, was finally given to his wild father.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Baiqi, and said respectfully, "Goddess, you've worked hard all the way, where did you bring so many civilians?"

The population team is equally important to them. Zhang Yan was very happy to see more than 5 civilians coming.

There are two more people following Zhang Baiqi, both of whom are women.Zhang Baiqi said to Zhang Yan: "When I came back from Xianbei, I passed a city. Then I found that there was a remnant of a yellow scarf there, and they wanted to attack a local city."

However, these Yellow Turban soldiers didn't even have weapons, but they relied on their numbers.I helped them out, and I also got to know one of the leaders of these people.

After Zhang Baiqi finished speaking, she introduced to Zhang Yan two women who were around her age, one surnamed Zheng and the other surnamed Jiang... In this day and age, it is quite capable to have a woman as the leader of the rebel army.

Zhang Baiqi continued: "The local rule is very chaotic, and there are refugees everywhere. So I spent a year sorting out the refugees nearby, and attacked several towns."

"Otherwise we don't have enough food and grass to bring these tens of thousands of people to Montenegro."

Zhang Baiqi was basically not idle this year, and even captured a local prefect when he attacked a big town later.

The prefect said that he dreamed of a four-legged snake, and asked a man named Zhou Xuan to tell his fortune.Zhou Xuan told him that this is the dream of the country, and the snake represents a woman...the four-legged snake represents two women.

The meaning of this dream is that two women will participate in the rebellion, and they must be killed.

Zhang Baiqi said "Hey", she knows Taoism herself, but she really doesn't know how to interpret dreams.But since someone interpreted the dream, it aroused Zhang Baiqi's curiosity.

Because Zhang Baiqi really had a dream that day, so she directly asked about Zhou Xuan's residence, and then went directly to find Zhou Xuan to interpret the dream.

Dream interpretation is not fortune-telling after all, and Zhou Xuan didn't know Zhang Baiqi's reason for coming.But Zhang Baiqi didn't care about this, she said directly to Zhou Xuan: "I heard that you can interpret dreams, how about interpreting my dreams?"

Zhou Xuan didn't express much, but Zhang Baiqi didn't care about it and said it directly.

"I dreamed yesterday that I turned into a two-clawed white snake, but I was fighting a big red snake that looked like blood."

"The sound of blows from both sides seemed to be heard hundreds of miles away, but there didn't seem to be many enemies around. And at the last moment, I took advantage of the red snake's unpreparedness and bit off the opponent's head."

"The [-]-meter-long giant snake fell to a piece of sandy ground and died. Can you give a detailed explanation?"

After Zhang Baiqi said this, Zhou Xuan began to sweat coldly on his head, and then he rolled his eyes and passed out.Zhang Baiqi also looked confused, but she didn't take it seriously.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Zhiyuan intelligence is still very strong, whether it is Jinyiwei or Nishang.So she quickly detected the news that Cao Cao was about to leave Yingchuan County, and then Lu Bu brought more than 5 people to Yingchuan.

Hmm...the real combat power will not exceed [-], and the rest are all captured young men.Speaking of which, many soldiers from the feudal lords at the end of the Han Dynasty were captured, trained with a weapon and used it as cannon fodder.

And among those people, there were indeed two Zhiyuan spies, so a lot of information was passed on desperately.

Zhi Yuan took the map and looked at it. Xia Houyuan led 5000 people to guard Yingchuan.Cao Cao gave Lu Bu the area southeast of Xiangcheng. The main cities here are Xiangcheng, Yancheng, Dingling City, Kunyang City, and Fucheng.

There are also two small towns, Dongbutang and Jinche Township.

Zhiyuan controlled very few places, only a little distance between Wuyang and Kunyang to Ye County.Moreover, including all the troops that Zhiyuan can mobilize, it is only about [-].

There were some losses in the front, and Lucheng also needed to defend, so there were only more than 3 people who could be mobilized from Ye County to Wuyang.Among them, 1 people are Yuan Shu's old department and local civilians.

These people were dispatched by Lei Bo and Chen Lan. Due to the shortage of food...they must eat dead bodies, and some wild vegetables found in the wild.It is estimated that Zhiyuan will take at least half a month to collect food and grass in Ye County and Wancheng.

Although Wancheng is indeed relatively wealthy, it has basically been fighting in the past few years, and there is not much food and grass.Zhiyuan gritted her teeth and set the tax rate here at one tenth, and went door to door looking for landlords and gentry, as well as the nobles in Nanyang County to borrow food.

Borrowing must be borrowing, but if you don't borrow enough, don't blame Zhiyuan for being rude.Support me or die!Zhi Yuan didn't care too much at such a critical moment. After directly leading troops to destroy several big families, a group of gentry, landlords and squires expressed their support for the Qingzhou regime.

Money and food were paid, and even a lot of strong men were paid.Zhiyuan was very satisfied with the support of these people, and happily issued an IOU to them.Is my mother the kind of person who borrows money and doesn't pay it back?

If these people perform well in the future, let them join Zheng De's business alliance. Anyway, they will definitely be encouraged to do business in the future.It doesn't matter if capitalism exploits some, it's better than keeping Huaxia stuck in the initial stage.

So in just one month, Zhiyuan obtained more than 50 shi of grain and grass, basically sweeping away the entire Nanyang County.

Although there is a lot of food, but also because there are more civilians to be rescued, Zhi Yuan estimates that the food will not last long.But fortunately, Jingzhou has been taken by Liu Bei. Jingzhou is currently the wealthiest area in the entire Han Dynasty. After Sun Jian's integration, more food and grass will go north.

Liu Bei also got rid of Liu Biao, and Liu Biao finally committed suicide.Burned to death, the remaining sons and daughters were moved to the plains by Liu Bei to be punished by Liu Bian. After all the other gentry were cleaned up, they led the [-] main force to go north.

And there are still about 4 or [-] people left here in Jingzhou, all of whom are auxiliary soldiers and Sun Jian's army, used to completely digest the forces here.Liu Bei is also doing his best, whether it is Guan Yu Zhang Fei or Zhao Yun Huaxiong, he basically brought everything he could.

After Zhiyuan's research, Liu Bei was borrowed from Runan to directly attack Yancheng, and finally besieged Xiangcheng with Zhiyuan so that Lu Bu could not escape.Pei Yuanshao's Qiu Zhiyuan also wanted revenge, whether it was for himself or for Zhang Baiqi.

As for Yan Xiang, Zhi Yuan went over to write a letter in person.The purpose is only to attack Lu Bu by way, and will never occupy a piece of land in Runan.

Speaking of which, if Yuan Shu really disappeared, Runan would take refuge in himself sooner or later.Therefore, Zhiyuan naturally wouldn't force Yan Xiang, and asked Yan Xiang many times about Yuan Shu's information. She didn't know if she was really afraid of Yuan Shu's death, or if she was planning to accept Yuan Shu's inheritance.

But...at least now Zhiyuan won't touch Runan for sure.After Yan Xiang thought for a while, he agreed to Liu Bei's attack on Yingchuan County from Runan.

Zhi Yuan wasn't in a hurry either, after she finished getting the food and grass, she personally led Zhang Xiu, Wei Yan and others to Wuyang.Naturally, Lu Bu is also preparing for it. Ancient wars are also very time-consuming, and they don't start immediately when the army arrives.

At least Lu Bu had to let his men occupy all the nearby cities without any worries.

Chen Gong is also considered a good counselor, and he is from a noble family, so he naturally has to deal with Zhiyuan.This is the same as why Chen Gong wanted to deal with Cao Cao back then. Anyone who blocked the interests of the gentry had to die.

As for ordinary people, it doesn't matter how much they die.Therefore, many times Lu Bu's plundering was the result of Chen Gong's connivance, and the more important thing was that Chen Gong liked Lu Bu very much, because Lu Bu respected him very much.

Maybe it was because Lu Bu didn't have any brains around him, anyway, Chen Gong liked the present life very much, at least everyone here respected him, which was much more comfortable than in Cao Cao's camp.

Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "If you want to fight Zhiyuan, you must have no worries. My relatives are placed in Xiangcheng, and some elites are kept here to protect them."

Lu Bu nodded, and then ordered his confidant Hao Meng to lead 5000 people to defend Xiangcheng.Then he ordered Zhang Liao to lead 1 people into Fucheng to attack Luyang, and Cao Xing led 5000 people to Dingling, and occupied Yancheng and nearby small villages and towns by the way.

And Lu Bu himself led [-] people to Kunyang to fight Zhiyuan.And Zhiyuan had just led the soldiers here to deliver food and grass at this time, both Lei Bo and Chen Lan had red eyes, as if they had eaten too much human flesh.

Even Zhiyuan herself had a lot of bloodshot eyes.Even Zhiyuan felt that her Taoism skills had dropped a lot, perhaps because of cannibalism.

Just as the two sides began to prepare for the war, the new year of this year came again.The second year of Zhang Wu... Zhi Yuan only remembers this day, but Zhi Yuan can't remember exactly how many years it was in A.D.

The current Zhiyuan has fully integrated into this era, although she did bring a change to this era.

For example, on the day of the Chinese New Year, the whole Wuyang was still very lively. Apart from the necessary defensive force, the rest of the soldiers all rested for three days.

Zhiyuan also personally taught everyone how to make dumplings. It is said that dumplings were invented by Zhang Zhongjing.And Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Ji are probably not in the Qingzhou Plain at present, so Zhiyuan can be considered as a substitute.

Lu Bu is a little unclear, so, after all, Chinese New Year is not a festival worth celebrating in this era.Lu Bu said to his subordinates, "Do you want to sneak attack?"

Chen Gong stopped him immediately. He shook his head at Lu Bu and said, "Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, neither of these two people took advantage of this woman. Maybe this is the other party's scheme, waiting for us to take the bait."

Lu Bu nodded: "Okay, anyway, my people haven't arrived yet." "Those damned civilians are really slowing down the speed of the army. When the last 1 people come over, we will invite each other to a decisive battle!"
