Cao Cao's war against Jingzhou was not sudden news for the imperial court, and it was not enough to catch them off guard. As the situation becomes clearer and clearer, the relationship between the princes becomes more and more ambiguous. Cao Cao, who occupied Yanzhou, successfully settled Yuzhou after Yuan Shu's death and became a prince in the two states, and he had already had a deep foundation in Yanzhou for several years, although the territory was slightly smaller, but the army was strong and strong.

Yuan Shao, who originally only had the land of Qingzhou, became the biggest winner in the battle of Xuzhou to reinforce Xuzhou, not only the prince Liu Bei, who occupied Xuzhou, was defeated and went to Jingzhou, but Yuan Shu also died of disease in the plague, and also became one of the princes who held the two states. In the early years, the pain of being defeated by Yanbei and taking Jizhou has long been healed, and even the power has expanded, and he has once again become a male lord that cannot be underestimated.

Sun Ce of Wu County inherited many inheritances of Yuan Shu, appointed talents to conquer the Quartet, successively defeated many heroes to pacify Jiangdong, and repelled Yuan Shao's pioneers who took advantage of the situation several times south of Guangling according to natural hazards and Jiangdong's children.

The current situation in Henan is generally stable, but it is precisely this stability that makes it difficult for the whole world to feel at ease. The princes of all walks of life were too ambiguous, almost tacitly, although they all knew that they always had to compete with each other for the lord of the world, Henan and Hebei had a very tacit understanding that no one would attack.

Anyone can see their impatience.

Yuan Shao went from Qingzhou to Yangzhou, but after receiving Liu Bei's Xuzhou, he was not in a hurry to settle down, but stretched the battle line for two thousand miles to attack Yangzhou, which was anxious. Cao Cao had just settled Yingchuan, and in a blink of an eye, he led his troops to conquer Nanyang, Jingzhou, which was anxious. Even Yanbei is average, sweeping Goguryeo Fuyu in the north, attacking the Xiongnu in the west and merging the state in the south, and operating Guanzhong to suppress Liangzhou, isn't this anxious?

are all anxious, even if it seems to be quiet and peaceful now, but only a few people in the bureau know that the biggest crisis in this life is gradually approaching.

"Brother isn't worried at all?"

Jiang Jin sat cross-legged on the couch, wrapped in a washed linen cloth on his arm, glanced at Yanbei with raised eyebrows, rested his hands on the low table, slowly pressed the palm of his left hand with his right hand, and when he opened his mouth, a maid served a bitter medicinal soup. The first battle of the Xiongnu royal court made him plant a big heel, and the love that had just been collected under his command died in the battle, and the soldiers and horses died thousands of corpses in the state caused a plague, not to mention, the two fingers of the left hand were forever lost in the Xiongnu royal court.

Raised his head and drank the medicinal soup, raised his hand to push the maid away, the bitter taste and the depression in his heart made Jiang Jin's already fierce face become hideous, and his right hand clenched his fist and hammered Yu Xiao and roared: "They are all attacking the city, we should not attack the north and the west, when the threat to my brother today is only Cao Yuan's two thieves, let him attack and plunder, and there will be endless troubles!" Brother, fight them in a decisive battle! ”

Yan Bei, who was a little lazy on the porch on the second floor, with a relaxed smile, turned his head to Jiang Jin and said, "The revenge of the fingers, don't take revenge?" Erlang's hatred, not blood? ”

Jiang Jin is good anywhere, but he was afraid of poverty in the past, but now he has the energy to be poor and extravagant. In the past, in Liaodong, the military rations were deducted, and when they bought land in Youzhou, they happily ran to Yanbei to share the spoils, and this problem has not changed until now, and in two years, thousands of fields were purchased in Yanmen, Yunzhong, Shangdang and other places, and I don't know what to do in this desolate land in Bingzhou.

No, he also set up a mansion in the Yin Pavilion.

Even the war with the Southern Xiongnu had a lot to do with his greed for money, and the cause of this war was that Jiang Jin wanted the Xiongnu royal court to move four hundred miles west and go to the Shuofang Desert to graze. Where could the Huns agree to this, and they fought. Let's fight, I lost, so in the letter to Yanbei, I wanted Yanbei to appease the Southern Xiongnu so unconfidently.

He knew he was at a loss!

"Two fingers are nothing, my brother can't help but underestimate Ah Jin!" Referring to his fingers, Jiang Jin pushed away the dwarf table with some annoyance, and his words were full of uneven hatred, and he sighed before calming down a little: "At present, the Hun royal court is surrendering, and it is better to sacrifice 50,000 cattle and sheep to calm the anger of my brother, it is better to ignore him first, and go all out to cross the Yellow River in the south to fight a decisive battle with the two thieves...... The thief in the urn, Lao Tzu said that if he kills, he will kill his mother! ”

Yanbei was surprised and said to Jiang Jin: "Less impatient and more calm, much more powerful in the past two years." ”

Not to mention anything else, Yanbei also thinks that only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are worthy of his opponents in this world, and the rest are nothing in his eyes as for Jiaozhou Shishi, Yizhou Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, and Liangzhou Han Sui. As for Sun Ce of Jiangdong...... That's just a nephew, Lu Yi also sent a letter a few days ago, as an uncle, he wanted to give his nephew a general, hoping to get his answer.

"Planting such a big heel in front of the Huns, don't say it!"

Mentioning this defeat Jiang Jin looked gloomy, in the past two years in the state of the big and small battles, he has grown a lot more than when he just led the Liao general, the mentality is no longer as slippery as on the Yishui River back then, almost with his own strength to conquer the three counties, the heart has long been crazy, last year wrote a letter to Yanbei also said that when he pacified the state and let Yanbei prepare to send a thorn to come, in a blink of an eye was beaten by the Huns all over the body, a center sour, and how can it be said in three words.

At this point alone, he is very similar to Yan Bei, Yan Bei, who swept the north, is mader than him, and said: "This is not just revenge for you, Yan doesn't want them to surrender, surrender for hundreds of years, the rebellion is still a rebellion, he is endless, and when he arrives at Yan, he has to stop!" ”

"As for the battle for hegemony in the world, Yan has nothing to worry about, Ah Jin, do you think that the current situation, Cao Yuan has two states, and it is still like in the past when we defeated Gongsun Zhan, a decisive battle can be done once and for all? Impossible, this battle has already begun, why did you want Cao Mengde to attack Nanyang, hey! Yan Bei said and paced a few steps indoors, and said: "He has only a few mines in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and he can't get good iron, so he will be forced to use Gongxian iron when he locks the tiger prison, and now he can only go to Nanyang." ”

In Yanbei's view, fighting a war is not only the soldiers in front, but also the follow-up grain, grass, money, and even the uninterrupted fertility of the people are all necessary conditions for measuring strength, victory or defeat.

"Sweep Goguryeo in the north, set up Lizhou in Buyeo, pacify and merge the state in the west, collect half of Liangzhou in Guanzhong, and unify tens of millions of people in six states, Ah Jin, do you know that the power of 10 million people can destroy mountains and seas!"

Yan Bei smiled heroically, and the detective smiled at Jiang Jin: "It's not a matter for Yan to go south to recruit them. Cao Liu and Yuan Sun attacked each other, isn't this situation the best? Now is about their last chance, and when the general trend is achieved, the sky can't save them! ”
