Chapter 526 There is movement in the stillness
The summer of the third year of the first peace came in the midst of the noise.
Since March, the war has come to an end in various places.
Under the strong pressure of the Qingzhou Army and the efforts of Lu Su, the war in Jianghuai finally ended with the two families striking out and making peace. After all, Yuan Shu still refused to let go of the fat that had been swallowed in his stomach, and only gave up a little bit of what was in his mouth.
In addition to Pengchengguo, which had already reached full occupation, he pocketed a large area of land south of Xiaqiu and west of Hongze Lake, which was equivalent to dividing Xiapi Kingdom into two and occupying about one-third of the land in the south.
In this regard, Lu Su can't think about it.
You must know that Yuan Shu's original goal was to take all the three counties in the south of Xuzhou, but now Xiapi still retains more than half, and the richer Guangling County has also been preserved, which is already very successful in terms of purely diplomatic achievements.
Tao Qian has nothing to disagree with.
In the face of Yuan Shu, who was bound to win the nest, the Xuzhou army was already a little overwhelmed, and it was already impossible to exchange Peng Cheng and Xiao Ban Xiapi for a temporary rest of the soldiers.
What's more, since Xue Li and Zhen Rong became chaotic, the three southern counties of Xuzhou have actually escaped from Lao Tao's control. Peng Cheng has experienced the hands of Xue Li, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu; Xiapi was made into a miasma by the Rong, the taxes have become Buddhist temples, and the people have become monks and nuns, a good land of fish and rice, as if falling into the abyss of the Nine Shadows.
The situation in Guangling is even worse, Zhao Yu before Zhenrong and the heroes of Guangling are a nostril, in the repeated crises in Xuzhou, the richest county not only did not provide enough soldiers, but also took out little money and food, as if sending a flower child.
Guangling is actually a country within a country, and Chen Qi's influence is much greater than that of Tao Qian, the state pastor.
Sun Ce drove away Zhenrong, plundered Yuan Shu before he reached Guangling, and ran to Jiangdong. Although Guangling suffered heavy losses, it became a good opportunity for Tao Qian to regain control.
When this turmoil ended in this way, in fact, everyone was happy, and the only ones who suffered the most were the local powerful faction led by the Chen family, and all other parties gained in it.
For Wang Yu, the biggest gain is talent.
Now, the name Lu Zijing has been quite influential among the princes, and the heroes are amazed by this young man's old and spicy diplomatic skills, and their evaluation of Wang Yu's vision is also higher.
The fame of the hussar directory is also rising, getting louder and louder. On the surface, no one has done anything yet, but secretly, the princes from all walks of life have sent out many secret agents to search for secret spies in Qingzhou everywhere, trying to get the scales and claws of the other party to obtain the directory, so as to gain a head start in this battle for talent.
Affected by this, the number of young people who recommended themselves to the princes suddenly increased, and everyone claimed that they had been contacted by Qingzhou envoys, or that a mysterious person had visited them in private, and that they were the famous people on the hussar list, so they hereby recommended themselves. It made the princes overwhelmed and annoyed.
The vast majority of them are fake, but occasionally a few come up that are real. In Runan, a young man named Chen Zhi was appreciated by Liu Bei, and when he joined the army, he became the commander of Liu Bei's reorganized guards, the Baiwei Jing Army.
For Wang Yu, this is a pity, but there are losses and gains, Wei Yan also heard about the hussar list through a similar way, and then after he saw the Qingzhou spy who was looking for him in Nanyang, he had no doubts at the moment, and went directly to the north to join the army, becoming another heavyweight general collected by Wang Yu.
Hebei has been very quiet since the alliance. When Wang Yu waved his army westward, Youzhou once had signs of instability, but when the news came out that Wang Yu was standing still in Wei County, the conflict brewing in Youzhou suddenly disappeared invisibly.
In the Hedong War, after the victory in Anyi, Li Dao and Guo Yan discovered Xu Shu's intentions.
But although the two of them worked hard to pursue, after all, they were too jealous of Xu Shu's strategy, and the pair of partners of Ma Zhong and Pan Zhang after the break was indeed too demonic, and after losing the army, they could only pin their hopes on the navy, hoping to disintegrate the opponent's military spirit and morale and defeat the opponent by cutting off Bai Bo's back road.
Their plan was close to success for a while, however, what they didn't expect was that Tai Shi Ci suddenly came over.
The navy army in Qingzhou was originally adapted from the experienced bandits and pirates, and the experience of fighting on the water was much stronger than that of the Xiliang army improvised by fishermen and sailors. Coupled with Tai Shici, who can still exert all his strength in the water battle, the two fierce generals of Zhou Cang are unstoppable, although they have the advantage of fighting downstream, but the Xiliang Water Army is still defeated and lost.
More than 100 of the 500 warships were sunk, more than 300 were captured, and only a few dozen fled back to Shaanxi and Tianjin in panic. After this great battle, known as the Battle of Dongyuan, the Western Liang Army lost control of the Yellow River waterway.
Li and Guo Er were unable to think about it, and in the end they could only give up the pursuit of Bai Bo.
For them, it is good to be able to leave 300,000 white waves, but as long as the threat of two white waves is eliminated and the fertile land east of the river is obtained, the basic goal will be achieved. Since the Qingzhou army had a way to pass through the blockade of Hanoi and Luoyang, they could only stop it for the time being to avoid too large-scale conflict with the Qingzhou army.
Although Mrs. Guo was lucky enough to escape in the Battle of Anyi, that was all. He fled back to Baibo Valley almost alone, and it was impossible for him to regain his former momentum. In the next riddle, what he has to face is likely to be the northern and southern attacks of the Xiliang army and the Huns, and the pursuit or something, but I am afraid that it will not exist in his mind at all.
The Xiliang army shrank, Guo was too wilted, Bai Bo left, and Hedong naturally regained calm.
And in Nanyang, although the fight was endless, but after all, the disparity in power was huge, and before the end of March, Zhang Xiu was driven out of Wancheng. Because Niu Fu and Hu Zhen in Wuguan could not be saved, under the indignation, Zhang Xiu took hundreds of remnants of the army to Liu Biao, and is now stationed in Xinye, as the first line of defense for Jingzhou to resist Cao Cao's invasion.
After Cao Cao took Wancheng without any danger, he also temporarily stopped his march and did not further stimulate the Xiliang army or the Jingzhou army, and the three forces reached a short balance in Nanyang.
On the Qingzhou side, Zhang Jaw has ended the war in Langya State, and under the mediation of Tao Qian, Zang Ba paid a huge amount of compensation and retained the Langya Kingdom with an area of less than one-fifth of the original. In fact, the new Langya Kingdom is just a small area around Kaiyang.
Wang Yu agreed to let him go, in addition to wanting to squeeze more oil and water from him through war compensation, mainly to keep a buffer between Qingxu and Xuzhou, so as not to stimulate the local forces in Xuzhou too much and cause another incident.
Time has passed, and the original four alliances have now existed in name only. Yuan Shu's ambitions for Xuzhou were only temporarily suppressed, not disappeared. If at such a time, take action against Xuzhou, it is easy to force the local Haoqiang and Yuan Shu to join forces, and a series of wars will arise again between Jianghuai.
Xu Huang's war in Jibei has also ended smoothly, except for the two major yellow scarves entrenched in Gucheng and Dong'e, the rest of the area has been cleared. Although Xu Huang's troops were named after 'mountain', their actions were more like thunder and lightning, so fast that the opponent had no time to react.
The reason why I didn't know the last two yellow scarves was mainly because I didn't want to force the other party to Dongping Kingdom and take refuge in Cao Cao. Now, Xu He is in charge of negotiating with him, and according to the current situation, these thousands of people will eventually become a part of the mountain army.
At this point, except for Sun Ce's endless war in Jiangdong and Liu Xuan, and sporadic wars in Hanzhong, the smoke of the entire land of China has temporarily dissipated, and it is rare to restore calm.
The focus of the world is once again focused on Luoyang.
The vigorous figure of the goshawk crossed the sky, and under the high sky, there was a vast land. Wang Yu put down the letter in his hand, moved his somewhat sore neck, raised his eyes to look at the mountains and rivers between heaven and earth, the boundless wilderness, and his mood suddenly relaxed from the treacherous waves and clouds of the general trend of the world.
"Husband, finished reading?"
A pair of soft little hands put on their shoulders and rubbed them vigorously, and a warm, indescribable feeling of comfort came from the shoulders and hearts at the same time. Wang Yu tilted his head and looked at the wife who was known as the four beauties of China in later generations, looking at the girl's affectionate eyes and flower-like smile, he was in a trance for a while, and couldn't tell where he was, whether it was in a dream or reality.
He saw the anticipation in those beautiful eyes, smiled and gave a happy answer to the girl: "Well, the places have stopped recently, we can continue to stay for a while." ”
"That's for the best." Mink Chan said happily: "The scenery of Gaotang is not bad, but there are too many things, Mr. Yuan Hao, Mr. Zini, and Mr. Zizhong, they are obviously all famous people with high talents, but they don't want to make up their own minds about anything, they have to come to ask their husbands, and they are so busy that they don't even have time to talk." It's still just me and my sister, if there are a few more sisters in the future, alas, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see my husband. ”
"How so? If I can't see you for a day, my husband's heart will be itchy, if I can't see you for a long, long time, I'm afraid my heart will be broken. Wang Yu secretly screamed in his heart.
The matter of his courtship to Lu Bu is now in an uproar, and the two wives in the family did not cry or make trouble, and they were very virtuous, but in private, they each used their own unique means to tell him that they were jealous.
There is a way that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, Wang Yu competes for power on the battlefield, and deals with the open guns and dark arrows between the princes, all of which are at ease, but in the face of the little xingzi occasionally used by the two wives, there is only shame and double the pity.
Cai Yan is okay, this talented woman's xing style is gentle and lovely, even if she occasionally has a little temper, she is also very just right to receive it at once, which does not make Wang Yu feel embarrassed and embarrassed at all. Of course, Diao Chan's obsession is also very cute, but who made Wang Yu not fully adapt to this era, and always feel ashamed of himself?
What's more, Minchan's little xingzi is not just for this one thing.
She wrinkled her lovely nose and complained very dissatisfiedly: "The rhetoric is just a lie, but in fact it is partial." As she spoke, she glanced at Cai Yan and her eyes fell on the other party's lower abdomen. Cai Yan replied with a gentle smile, compared to the previous tranquil, but now there is a little more holiness.
Obviously, that is the brilliance of the mother xing.
"You can't blame me for this, it depends on luck." Wang Yu blinked innocently.
Originally, this parade turned into a honeymoon trip. Without Tian Feng and Guoyuan, who don't understand the customs, there will be plenty of time, and it is not surprising that there are results under the night singing. But the problem is, I am obviously very fair, every time it is rain and dew, who wins the bid, who does not win, how can I blame myself?
He spread his hands and said, "Besides, didn't I make a good suggestion for my husband?" Let you come together, and if you are eccentric or not, you will not know at first sight? But you don't want to. ”
"You want to be beautiful." A wisp of thrilling red glow flew over her pretty face, Mink Chanjiao sneered, and Qianqianyu added a force to her hand: "Let's wait until you complete your sister's request." ”
"Is that still easy? Zizhong wrote that the mold had been carved out, and the experiment was needed. Look at it, it won't take a month or two to finish, and when the time comes, you will have to keep your promises......" Just as he was talking about rising, Wang Yu caught a glimpse of Cai Yan's mouth moving slightly, revealing a shy and playful smile, and then he realized that even if he wanted to achieve good things, he would have to wait until a year later.
He sighed helplessly, which made the two daughters laugh coquettishly, adding another beautiful scenery to the cloudless sky.
Wang Yu saw that his index finger moved, and he was about to catch the little demon Jing and practice a good family law, but he heard a sound of footsteps, and when he turned his head to look, it was Kong Rong who came. (To be continued.)
