Putting aside the conquest of one city and one pond, looking at the world, the chaos in various places has already spread vigorously.

Now is the golden period of Lu Bu's development, once the situation in the north is stable, Lu Bu can no longer develop so steadily, so the time left for him now is actually not much.

In contrast, Cao Cao's situation was much worse.

Although, there are still quite a lot of Wenchen generals who have just been defeated Cao Cao, and the loss to Lu Bu in the process of the battle of Sili is still not a light loss for him.

However, his main force is still there, as long as he is given a piece of land and digested it, he can still rise.

Cao Cao was not discouraged for a long time, and set his sights on the next target - Yanzhou.

Although at this time, Yanzhou was also very chaotic, but he had no choice.

Si Li was seized by Lu Bu and was temporarily unable to resist.

And his childhood playmate has now become a powerful prince, if Cao Cao waits so slowly, in the end, he will not even have the opportunity to stand on the same level as Yuan Shao, and he will not be able to compete at all.

It's too much worse!

Think about the original history, Cao Cao's family history, every time he was worried about food and grass, all kinds of murder and slaughter of the city and cannibalism.

After fighting in the Central Plains for seven or eight years, before the Battle of Guandu, he became the overlord of the Central Plains, but he was still short of money and food.

Even when the battle of Guandu reached a stalemate, Yuan Shao of Hebei casually pulled out an army of 700,000, and there was plenty of food and grass.

And Cao Cao was able to pull out a total of 70,000 troops, so there was still an extreme shortage of food and grass.

Not to mention that now, he has lost his territory by Lu Bu.

Golden horn and silver edged grass belly, Yanzhou is a place of four wars, not suitable as a base, but it can't stand the fact that there are masters in other places.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao could only grit his teeth and prepare to start in this place.

Liu Zhang is not like his father, he has more than enough success, but he is not enough to enter the map, and he has been fighting in Hanzhong for more than a year but has not achieved the slightest result.

However, Liu Zhang also has merit, that is, he is very good to the people under his rule, and has exempted the people from forced labor taxes many times, and the people praise his virtues.

Similar to Liu Zhang's power is Liu Biao, who occupies Jingzhou.

Earlier, when Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, the Jingzhou family was not used for it, and in desperation, Liu Biao married the daughter of the Cai family of the Jingzhou family, so that the Jingzhou family was in a good match.

First, Jingzhou Junjie Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, and Cai Zhong were assisted, and then Deng Xi, Han Song, and Liu Xian were assisted, and they were full of wings.

At the beginning of the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Ji led troops to invade Jingzhou, attacked the city, and was broken by Liu Biao's army, and Zhang Ji himself was killed by a flying arrow, after which Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu led his people.

In June of the second year of Zhongping, Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian led Lingling and Guiyang three counties to be in chaos, Liu Biao hurriedly sent troops to besiege it, and Zhang Xian was defeated in more than a month, and the three counties were peaceful.

Since then, Liu Biao has opened up the land and expanded the land, connecting the five collars in the south and Hanchuan in the north, with thousands of miles of places and more than 100,000 armor.

Jingzhou people are disturbed, coupled with the turmoil in the world, Jingzhou thieves are rampant, which is a great disaster, and Liu Biao has a good way to lure, and he has a good way to negotiate with each other, and he will subdue all these thieves, so he is cleared for thousands of miles, and the big and small salty and happy to obey it.

More than 1,000 students from Guanxi, Yanzhou, and Jizhou went to Liu Biao's office, and they all received all the funds.

Since then, Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou and looking north.

At the beginning of this troubled era, before the other princes had already saved up their families, Yuan Shao was already far ahead.

Although Zhao Yun was brave, at this time, he couldn't stand up to Yan Liangwen Chou and many other generals under Yuan Shao who took turns to fight, and Gongsun Zhan's troops and strategists did not have an advantage, and he was defeated and retreated.

This is the sorrow of the weak.

At this time, the background of many princes is too shallow, and now they are not Yuan Shao's opponents at all, perhaps after several years of hard work, it is possible to jump out of the chessboard and have the opportunity to be compared with Yuan Shao.

Now among the princes of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao is at the forefront, and he can pull out tens of thousands of elite soldiers in a hundred battles at will, and the other princes cannot be compared with him for the time being.

Now that Lu Bu, who has won the division, may barely be secondary.

Then there is Yuan Shu...... Originally, Yuan Shu would not have fallen into such a situation, but because he was very ambitious in his heart, it was a bad thing.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu is the son of the Yuan family, and in terms of identity and status, his brother Yuan Shao can never catch up, and at this moment Yuan Shao has almost dominated the three states of Qing, Hebei and You, while Yuan Shu only has one Yangzhou, all because of his jealousy.

Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he was a fierce general in the vanguard, and he was under the command of Yuan Shu earlier, and his strength could be ranked among the top three in the early princes.

It's a pity that Yuan Shu was jealous of Sun Jian's bravery, lest he raise tigers, as early as before the Bishui Pass, he listened to the words of the left and right, and refused to send food and grass to Sun Jian, so that Sun Jian was defeated, fortunately Cao Ying was saved by Jiang Zhe's tips, and since then, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu have been separated.

Then, Sun Jian disagreed with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and when he invaded Jingzhou to conquer Liu Biao, he was forced by Liu Biao, and he himself was killed by random arrows.

Yuan Shu made a very smart move when he gloated, recruiting Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, and his old ministry into his command.

But it's a pity that Yuan Shu doesn't value Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others, but the jade seal of the Great Han Dynasty left by Sun Jian!

Thinking about what kind of person Sun Ce is, he is even more arrogant than his father Sun Jian, how can he succumb to Yuan Shu's account?

So Sun Ce, who listened to Cheng Pu's words, used the jade seal of the Han Dynasty to exchange for the capital to dominate the world from Yuan Shu, three thousand soldiers!

Under the pretext of saving his relatives, Sun Ce led the 3,000 soldiers out of Yuan Shu's control, and with the help of his brother-in-law Zhou Yu on the way, he laid a huge piece of land in half a year.

Not as Taoist as the Sun family, the Zhou family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, recommended by Zhou Yu, Sun Ce got Zhang Zhao and Zhang Weizhu, who are known as the "two Zhangs in the south of the Yangtze River", and his wings are gradually full.

After that, Sun Ce led his troops to attack Qu A Liu Xuan.

It is said that Liu Xiang's Han clan relatives, the nephew of the former Taiwei Liu Chong, and the younger brother of Liu Dai of Yanzhou Thorn History, used to be the Yangzhou Thorn History, Tun Yu Shouchun, and then was driven by Yuan Shu across Jiangtun, so he came to Qu'a.

Sun Ce and Liu Miao fought several battles, and Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Chen Wu, who came to the same place, were helped to defeat Liu Xuan.

At that time, there was a fierce general under Liu Xuan's command called Tai Shici, who fought with Sun Ce alone with his own bravery, which was on par, but unfortunately he was not reused by Liu Xuan because of his weak age.

When Liu Miao was defeated, Tai Shi Ci was captured by Sun Ce alone, and was moved by Sun Ce and surrendered.

In this way, Sun Ce has the land south of the Yangtze River.
