Chapter 531: Movement of the Parties
At the end of the year, Cao and Sun formally reached an agreement. Officially carved up Jingzhou. Yangzhou occupies Jiangxia, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang and Wuling; Cao Cao occupied Nanyang and Nanjun.
To this end, Cao Cao provided the Sun family with war horses, grain and grass. As for joining forces to fight Liu, it is already inevitable. This time, both families were happy. Sun Jian only fought Jiangxia Huangzu to get the five counties of Jingzhou, which has a population of nearly three million, rich in products and in the rear of Nanjun and Nanyang. It is exactly what Sun Jian wants.
Cao Cao seems to have suffered a loss, but Nanyang and Nanjun are holding the strategic places in Jingzhou. Whether it is to resist Liu Bei, or to turn his face against Sun Jian in the future, it is extremely convenient. So Cao Cao was also satisfied. The most important thing is that the war ended as expected, and it didn't drag on for too long to give Liu Bei a chance to intervene.
Cao Cao predicted that Liu Bei should not go south in the short term, because in addition to Yuan Shao, who was not completely defeated in the north, there was also the great enemy of Xianbei. With his understanding of Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn't solve the problem of these two henchmen. He will not drive his troops south.
So, he can calm down and seek development. After Cao Cao won Nanyang, he sent people north to Yanzhou and brought all his team to Xiangyang. Yanzhou is too close to Qingzhou, and when the two families turn their faces, Yanzhou will be the first target. It is better to move early than to be exposed under Liu Bei's nose.
In Yanzhou, he left Cao Ren, Lejin, Zang Ba and others to guard it. Yuzhou Peiguo, where he left the Xiahou brothers to guard. As long as there is a change on both sides, he can calmly send troops from Nanyang to help.
After the New Year, as soon as the summer grain was harvested, Cao Cao was ready to follow Guo Jia's words and attack Hanzhong. If all goes well, hey, hey, hey.
Sun Ce here, he made a certain agreement with Cao Cao, and he was ready to go back. He appointed Cheng Pu as the Taishou of Jiangxia and sat in Jiangxia. As for the candidate for the Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan, he was going to ask his father to decide after he went back.
The "Son of Heaven" they were loyal to was beaten silently by Liu Bei, so they simply didn't even do superficial work. The officials appointed themselves and did not report to Wei Jun.
Cao Cao guessed correctly. After the New Year, the first thing Liu Bei had to solve was Yuan Shao, and then after integrating the forces of the five states, he would have to deal with Xianbei, who had repeatedly invaded the south.
On the grassland, the Xiongnu retreated, and Wuhuan went their own way, so there was nothing to worry about. The only thing that worries people is Xianbei. After the Han people beat the Huns away, they were picked up by the Xianbei people, swallowed more than 100,000 Huns, and later came out of a sandalwood acacia, he unified Xianbei after the south copied the edge, the north refused Ding zero, the east but the husband remained, the west hit Wusun, according to the Xiongnu homeland, more than 14,000 miles from east to west, more than 7,000 miles from north to south. The power is not thriving. Although Xianbei split after the death of Tanshi Huai, his strength did not decrease much. In the end, there was a Kebi Neng.
After the death of Tanshi Huai, the western Xianbei rebelled, and Monan split into three groups from the east of Yunzhong: one is the Budugen group, with tens of thousands of people, according to Yunzhong and Yanmen, and has been repelled by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao. The second is the Kebineng group, which is distributed in Daijun, Shanggu and other places, and has repeatedly violated the border of the Han Dynasty. The third is a number of small groups under the leadership of the "Eastern Lords" in the original alliance, which are scattered outside Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Yuyangsai. Among them, the Kebineng group is the strongest, and he wants to unify Xianbei and restore the glory of Xianbei in the Tanshihuai period.
However, Liu Bei will not give him a chance. No matter which Xianbei it is, Liu Bei is ready to strike and strike again. Just like Wu Huan, Liu Bei will only stop if he moves inward, and then completely sinicizes.
However, it was said that Liu Bei returned to the dynasty before the class, leaving Zhang Fei and Tai Shici to continue to attack Yuan Shao. Zhang Fei discussed with Tai Shi Ciyi, and then the two families divided their troops. Zhang Fei entered the Zhao State from Julu, and Tai Shici continued to lead troops to attack Wei County.
Zhang Feibing went to Zhao State, and the officials of Zhao State saw that the Qingzhou soldiers were strong and strong, and they did not dare to resist stubbornly, so they surrendered one by one. Zhang Fei drank and surrendered several counties, and finally gathered troops in Handan.
In the Western Han Dynasty, Handan City had the title of "Fuguan Hainai, the famous capital of the world", in addition to the capital Chang'an, and Luoyang, Linzi, Chengdu and Wanxian enjoyed the reputation of the five metropolises. Handan is also the northern barrier of Wei County, and the geographical environment is more important, so the trial and relatives are here to guard.
The people's hearts and the general trend let the judge know what it means to be defeated. On the second day of Zhang Fei's siege of the city, someone from the east city surrendered the city. The trial could not be matched, and the troops retreated in embarrassment. Zhang Fei's soldiers chased for thirty miles, but they couldn't return it.
As soon as Handan is lost, Wei Jun is in front of him. The defeated army was returned to the Liang period, and when he looked around, the soldiers looked confused, and there was a faint cry in the army. I can't help but be upset. As he paced up the city, he saw the sky as the sun was dyed, and the wind was dancing vigorously. I can't help but sigh in the city. He wants to help Yuan Shao achieve great things, who ever wanted to be full of thorns and stumble so far. finally opened the situation, but it happened to Liu Bei. After this battle, all his ambitions came to naught. It's really time, and it's fate.
Zhang Fei won the Zhao State, and Tai Shici also connected several counties, and the soldiers came to Wei County. By this time, both sides were tired. It's winter, and the weather is starting to get cold. And the river will be frozen but not frozen, freezing and biting. At this time, Liu Bei ordered the three armies to strike the war. Prepare for the winter.
Zhang Fei and Tai Shici received the letter, and their hearts were also relieved. The weather is getting worse day by day, and the frostbitten soldiers are one after another. Since the war is over, let's camp and keep warm.
So he ordered the soldiers to go out and cut the grass and prepare more things for warmth.
Yuan Shao was in Yecheng, and when he heard that Zhao Guo was lost again, although he knew that this matter was irreparable, he still couldn't help but feel depressed. He dragged his sick body every day and played with the emperor's talisman treasure. Although the heirloom seal is inexplicably missing, there is not only one jade seal available for the Son of Heaven in the huge court. The national seal is mainly used to ascend the throne, canonize the crown prince, queen and other major events. There are still one or two runic treasures that are used to declare orders and worship officials.
Yuan Shao was ambitious and wanted to stand on behalf of the Han for a long time. After establishing the Son of Heaven Zhaoning, the seals were held by him. When you are going to write the holy decree, you should seal it by yourself. It's so unpleasant.
It's a pity that he originally wanted to develop his ambitions and prosper greatly. As a result, he ran into Liu Bei, the nemesis of hit. Let his imperial dream be stillborn. So that he is not angry!
Now he sees that his territory and power are constantly being encroached upon by Liu Bei. Yuan Shao knew that his defeat was imminent, but the different thoughts in his heart were churning again.
When people reach a desperate situation, they either accept it indifferently or fall into madness. Yuan Shao was stunned. He decided that before he died, he would ascend the throne as emperor!
When he is dying, he has to live an imperial addiction. Later, Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui and others did this. Li Zicheng was defeated by the Manchus, and after returning to the capital in a hurry, he ascended the throne as emperor, and ran away after completing the throne. Under the unfavorable situation, Wu Sangui called Emperor Jianyuan in Hengzhou, and after a few months of emperor addiction, he died.
Yuan Shao is no different. He persuaded He Jin to get rid of the eunuchs, and seduced Dong Zhuo into Beijing, causing chaos in the world. When the Yuan clan was at its most prosperous, there was no one else in the world. It's a pity that the brothers are in a bad place, and the good situation has been made a mess by them, so that there is today. I really can't complain about others.
