The tiger prison was lost, and Yanzhou was shaken.

This thing is too strange, the Cao family has always had no opponents in the west, not to mention that half of Henan Yin west of Chenliu County has always been under the rule of Zhang Miao, which is a pattern that has been set since the first visit of Xingyang in Yanbei when Dong was discussed. And now, Zhang Miao left Yanzhou, and Cao Cao, who thought he could successfully take over the area around Chenliu and Xingyang, suddenly found that they had rebelled, and all the west of Xingyang was out of control.

In the second year of Xingping, everyone's attention in the world was forced to shift to the land of Guanzhong, which had been ignored for a long time in the past...... The imperial court is coming back.

Cao Cao desperately needed to restore control to the west of Xingyang, and even if it was not controlled, the worst outcome could not be like now, his eyes were covered with a thin cloth, and he could not see anything clearly. This was not good news for Cao Cao, but he did not pay enough attention to those white wave thieves, and just sent the captain Yu Ban to lead the troops to the west.

At this time, what happened before and after made Cao Cao unable to link Zhang Miao's departure from Chen Liu with Henan Yin's occupation by thieves. In his opinion, most of the thieves who occupy Guanzhong are the alliance of Baibo and Zhang Miao's old department in the north, but they are just a few thieves, and they don't even have their own baggage and cities, and the land of Yin in Henan has been abandoned for a long time, unable to supply the army, and will be broken in a few months at most.

He was wrong, these soldiers and horses were no longer the Baibo rebel army of the past, they were the subordinates of the former general's subordinate Bai Bo General Yang Feng and the lieutenant Xu Huang.

If they were a rebel army, there would be no regular army under heaven!

Cao Cao's eyes were not on Guanzhong, and although he tried his best to gather news of Guanzhong's relocation of the capital, the main places of real planning were still in Yuzhou and Xuzhou. After the defeat of Yuan Shu a few years ago, Cao Cao got almost half of Yuzhou, except for Chen Guo and Runan, which had been obtained by Cao Cao. However, due to the chaos in Lu Bu last year, the hearts of the state and county people fluctuated, and this year is the time for great governance after the chaos.

What's more, Yuzhou also faced the threat of Yuan Shu from the south, and in this regard, Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Liu Bei of Xuzhou had the same troubles, so they promoted peace. Cao Cao and Liu Bei had no hatred, and the revenge for his father had disappeared with Tao Qian's death, and Cao Cao urgently needed to form an alliance with Liu Bei to fight against Yuan Shu; And Liu Bei didn't want to start a war with Er Yuan and Cao Cao at the same time, so the two sides hit it off, and at the beginning of the year, they swore to worship three animals and kill white horses in Peiguo to discuss Yuan Shu.

And in the land of Kanto, the most embarrassing position is only half of Qingzhou Yuan Shao, who was oppressed by Gongsun Chan in the early years, and after the death of Gongsun Chan, there was Yanbei, who completely drove Yuan Shao out of Jizhou, not to mention, but also imprisoned Yan Liangwen Chou two henchmen, the greater loss is that the old friend Chun Yuqiong died under the city of Nanpi due to evil poison, and the relying Xun Chen never returned in Youzhou, the resourceful Guo Tu was killed in Yecheng, and the trial of guarding Nanpi for half a year was also captured when the city was broken, and for a time it fell to the point that no one was available.

If you lose so much, it will be enough to get the land of Qingzhou, Donglai cut off the way to the south under the control of Tian Yu, surrounded by hundreds of huge warships, Yuan Shao is always worried, on the other hand, there is a huge Guan clan Haikou as a subordinate, it is not at all a battle can be determined.

To the west of Qingzhou, Cao Cao, an old friend, was still unhappy that his former little brother had become the rightful leader of the Kwantung princes after several Central Plains wars, but the situation was stronger than others, and he could only be forced to participate in the alliance between Cao and Liu. On the surface, he sent an envoy to Yecheng in the north to bridge the relationship, and secretly kept his light and sought an opportunity to drive Tian Yu out of Qingzhou.

The Cao-Liu Alliance made Yuan Shao see an opportunity, and this opportunity was that their troops had already wrapped Donglai County in it, and once they had an opportunity...... He was able to drive Tian Yu out of Qingzhou and occupy Donglai.

In Yuan Shao's view, the capture of Donglai was only the first step, a springboard to occupy the East. If you want to take Xuzhou, you must first take Donglai, and if you want to take Donglai, you must contact Liu Bei!

Just when the three families were in full swing to crusade against the Yuan Shu organization in the south, their road to Guanzhong was blocked, a group of ordinary thieves like white wave thieves and Huns?

Cao Cao's subordinates were not without suspicion of the head of Yan Zhongqing, the male lord of the north, but the news that their envoy sent back from Hebei was that Yanbei had sent a conscription to the north, and since the ice river was unsealed, it had been continuously transporting wood, stone, grain and grass to Yecheng, and had built a palace in Yecheng to repair the city, without the slightest intention of using troops on a large scale.

It is no wonder that they miscalculated, for a long time, although the Yanbei Army was powerful, once it had military operations, it was often traceable. In addition to going north to fight against Xianbei last year, the first to make moves every time the Central Plains were used to fight against the two generals, Lu Yi and Gao Lan. But there is no sign of sending troops this year, Lu Yi is still honestly staying in Bohai, Gao Ran is still sticking to Wei County to train troops, and there is nothing to see in terms of grain and grass.

Last year, Jizhou did not use troops, and Youzhou sent millions of stone grain and grass to Jizhou, all of which were used to relieve the victims. Although grain is still being transported this year, what is it compared to the million stones of last year? Not to mention the 500,000 stone grain and grass to be paid to the imperial court, even if these are counted, it is only equal to the cost of relief for the victims last year, can this be a large-scale use of troops?

Yanzhou's envoys lurking in Jizhou can't say for sure, and Cao Cao's staff can't say for sure. The consumption of grain and grass for the activities between the two states has always been too huge, not to mention the disaster relief everywhere, even if it is really necessary to use soldiers, others will not be able to see it.

In this confusion, the captain Yu Ban continued to advance west after breaking the Yuting Rebellion army west of Xingyang, and the enemy army was facing the enemy east of Chenggao, and the enemy army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and could not attack for a long time, so Yu Ban was defeated and retreated, although he was pursued, he was able to restrain his subordinates in the chaos and fight and retreat and hold the position, so that the enemy did not dare to pursue too deeply, and successfully retreated to Xingyang.

In addition to the strength of the enemy army, which was no less powerful than the Yanzhou army, Yu Ban, who retreated, also brought back very important news...... Some scouts saw with their own eyes that the tiger prison closed the flag with the word swallow and the Zongyi crest with teeth and claws!

At the same time, the envoy from Jizhou sent a message that the former general Yan Zhongqing raised his headquarters army and went west from Yecheng, relying on the noise of music and dance along the way, passing through Hanoi to Luoyang, and welcoming the emperor who moved eastward!

For a time, the world shook.

Cao Cao connected everything, why did Jizhou pay a tribute of 500,000 stone grains and grass to the imperial court, in order to lure Li Guo to return the capital to Luoyang to the east; Why did Yanbei want to levy troops in the north and build a lot of construction on Yecheng, he wanted to make Yecheng the capital of Yecheng; Why did the white wave thief disturb Guanzhong at this time, he was cutting off the road to the west of the Guandong princes for Yanbei!
