Luo Gan, who is in Linzi, Qingzhou, is taking the information passed back by spies from all over the world, and his own understanding of history, roughly analyzing the situation of all the great princes in the world, and preparing to send troops to annex all the princes in the world in the future and pacify the world.

This must first be done to know oneself and know the other, so as to be invincible.

Liu Zhang, the lord of Yizhou, is Jiyu, Liu Zhang was the first lieutenant of Fengche, and he was the fourth son of Liu Yan, and it was originally not Liu Zhang's turn to inherit Liu Yan's inheritance. However, Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan and second son Liu Dan were all killed by Li Dai, and the third son Liu Mao died early, and it was Liu Zhang who could live in Yizhou.

Relatively speaking, Liu Zhang is relatively cowardly and suspicious, and this Yizhou was not defeated by him, and his prestige and means are not strong enough. As a result, Liu Zhang had just become the pastor of Yizhou, and Shen Mi, Lou Fa, and Gan Ning were against Liu Zhang, among which there may have been Jingzhou Liu Biao mixed in it. Liu Zhang appointed Zhao Wei as the general of Zhengdong Zhonglang to deal with the rebels, win, and guard against Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Gan Ning and others left Yizhou to go to Jingzhou to join Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Zhao Wei was able to grasp the military power, gradually sat down, and continued to buy people's hearts.

In addition, there is Zhang Lu in Yizhou, Zhang Lu is Gongqi, who occupies Hanzhong County and Eight Counties in Yizhou, and opposes Liu Zhang. At the beginning, Zhang Lu had a good relationship with Liu Yan, and Liu Yan asked Zhang Lu to kill the original Hanzhong Taishou and cut off the connection between the northern part of Yizhou and the imperial court. It's just that as soon as Liu Yan died, Zhang Lu didn't listen to Liu Zhang's orders, and Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and sent Pang Xi to attack Hanzhong County, but Zhang Lu captured Ba County instead.

The two sides often attack each other, although Liu Zhang is the pastor of Yizhou, but unfortunately he can't fully mobilize the power of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu inherited his grandfather and his father's five buckets of rice Dao, claiming that the strength of Shijun has a great influence in the eight counties and Hanzhong County, and Liu Zhang can't help it. Fortunately, Liu Zhang still has a Dongzhou soldier in his hands to maintain his rule.

The Dongzhou soldiers were recruited by Liu Yan from the displaced people during the war in the late Han Dynasty, when the people outside Yizhou fell into Yizhou. At the same time, there was a contradiction between the Dongzhou officials brought by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and the strong people of Yizhou, which also limited the development of Yizhou.

Now there are fourteen states in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and under the state are counties, and below the counties are counties. Some of them are not called counties but states and subject countries, but they are actually equivalent to counties. The following will directly regard the country as a county.

Among the eight counties and three subordinate states of Yizhou, Liu Zhang controls the nine counties of Yizhou, and Zhang Lu controls the two counties of Yizhou.

Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu both wanted to eliminate their opponents and control the entire Yizhou, while guarding against the contradictions between Jingzhou and the internal Yizhou and Dongzhou, and generally tended to dominate Yizhou and lack the ambition to dominate the world.

The twelve counties of Liangzhou are relatively chaotic, and the four counties of Sizhou and the three counties of Yongzhou are not much better. There were many warlords in Liangzhou, sometimes they united with each other, and sometimes they attacked each other. Among them, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Dao, and Guo Yan are the main representatives.

The warlords of these three states all want to destroy others, but none of the princes is strong enough to kill the other princes, and they are in a state of bastards and are relatively chaotic.

The nine counties of Bingzhou are actually still very chaotic, there are Huns, there are Montenegrin troops, etc., but they have all been attached to Yuan Shao on the surface.

The eleven counties of Youzhou, the eastern part of Liaodong is occupied by Gongsun Du, and the western Youzhou is more chaotic, divided into three forces. One is from Xian Yufu and Liu He's allied forces, one is from Gongsun Zhan's side, and the other is Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was preparing to completely annex Youzhou in the west, and Gongsun Zan resisted stubbornly.

Gongsun Chan has lost the opportunity to chase the Central Plains and is in a state of lingering. Gongsun Du previously sent troops to attack Qingzhou, was defeated by Luo Gan, and now the goal is to divide the Liaodong region, and play with the Xianbei, Wuhuan and Sanhan in the north, the development of strength is limited, that is, independent in Liaodong, the king is the hegemon, there is no possibility of dominating the world, but the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, many talents migrated to Liaodong, which still played a role in promoting the development of the Liaodong region.

The nine counties of Jizhou completely belong to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's original strategy was to control Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou, but now Qingzhou is in Luo Gan's hands. Therefore, Yuan Shao already has Jizhou and Merge Prefecture, and after annexing Youzhou, he will want to move troops south, intending to dominate the world, as for whether to fight Luo Gan or Cao Cao first, then I don't know.

The southernmost seven counties of Jiaozhou, in fact, the status of Jiaozhou is relatively low, and the imperial court's control over Jiaozhou is not strong. Later, Shixie wrote to the imperial court, and was officially promoted to Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is naturally headed by the Shi family, who came to the Jiaozhou area from the Central Plains during the Wang Mang period. Shi Ci was named the Taishou of Ninan by Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, and the Shi family became a local wealthy family.

After Shici's death, the eldest son Shixie served as the Taishou of Jiaozhi, the second son Shiyi served as the Taishou of Hepu, the third son Shi served as the Taishou of Jiuzhen, and the fourth son Shiwu served as the Taishou of the South China Sea.

The Shi family is really far away from the emperor, and behind closed doors, the prestige treatment in the Jiaozhou area is similar to that of the emperor. However, the scholars also lack the ambition to dominate the world, and once the external forces are strong enough, most of them will be annexed if they can't be defeated.

Liu Biao, whose name is Jingsheng, occupies the land of the eight counties of Jingzhou, and his strength is not weak. Liu Biao initially accepted the conquest of the general He Jin and became a lieutenant marquis of the Northern Army, and later when Dong Zhuo was in power, he was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou and took charge of Jingzhou. After Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he reused Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and other Jingzhou clans, and quickly pacified the secession of Jingzhou thieves.

Liu Biao did not join the Dong coalition army, and when Li Dao was in power, he also sent envoys to pay tribute to the imperial court, and was named the general of Zhennan, the pastor of Jingzhou, and the marquis of Wu. Now after Cao Cao moved the Son of Heaven to Xudu, he sent envoys to Xudu to pay tribute, and some of his subordinates persuaded him to form an alliance with Cao Cao, but he sent people to form an alliance with Yuan Shao.

Liu Biao fought with Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, saying that he had no ambitions, and it was not entirely true, he actually had intentions against Jiaozhou and Yizhou. But the ambition is not very big, on the whole the strength is not weak, self-preservation, and the enterprising spirit is not strong enough.

The situation in Yangzhou is more complicated, mainly because of Yuan Shu's territory, but the Taishou of many counties below Yangzhou do not obey Yuan Shu's dispatch, such as Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and other separatist parties, and Liu Xuanbi is the assassin of Yangzhou against Yuan Shu. Later, Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce and a group of others to attack the counties of Yangzhou, and Yangzhou belonged to Yuan Shu on the surface.

Yuan Shu was previously named General Zuo in the name of Li Daoyi's court, False Festival, and Marquis of Yang Zhai. However, Yuan Shu didn't talk about the imperial court at all, thinking that the Han Dynasty was exhausted, and he had been planning to build the country.

Most of Yuzhou is now in the hands of Cao Cao, and a small part is in the hands of Yuan Shu, while Liu Bei is nominally the assassin of Yuzhou, but in fact only occupies a few county towns in Peiguo.

Yuan Shu originally occupied Yuzhou and then annexed Jingzhou, and previously sent Sun Jian to attack Jingzhou, but was defeated by Liu Biao and Huang Zu. turned to attack Yanzhou, but was defeated by Cao Cao, but Yuzhou was captured by Cao Cao, so he had to transfer his forces to Yangzhou.

Now Yuan Shu's strategy is to annex Xuzhou, intending to be the emperor and founding a country, with the ambition of dominating the world. The territory it occupies is also relatively rich in grain and grass, but its strength is not the strongest.
