Chapter 350 Longxi, the situation rises again

After surrendering Zhang He and Gao Lan, Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi also rushed to Yecheng from Zhaojun where he was stationed and surrendered to Liu He.

Liu He was very happy about Yuan Xi's acquaintance, and immediately worshiped Yuan Xi as General Zhaode, and he was appointed Zhonglang in the General's Mansion, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Nanpi.

So far, Liu He has completely obtained the entire Jizhou and the most elite talents in Yuan Shao's camp. From then on, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Sili have been completely connected, and there is no need to worry about who will be able to sever the connection between things. .

Not only did he get rid of his worries, but he also got a vast fertile land and elite talents, which made Liu He a fortune.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a windfall, because this was originally a farce in which Yuan Cao fought to the death and Liu He stood by. However, the peach was picked by Liu He.

In fact, Cao Cao is already so angry that his lungs exploded now, but the situation is stronger than others. Cao Cao is now surrounded by enemies, and he is hated by the world's princes because he coerced the emperor to make the princes. After repeated defeats, both soldiers and officials were shaken in their hearts, and they did not dare to start a full-scale war with Liu He, so they could only adopt a retreat attitude and led the army to retreat to the south of the Yellow River.

However, Cao Cao still does not hope that Liu He can take over the entire Jizhou so smoothly, and looks forward to various twists and turns in Jizhou, trying to delay the time for Liu He to unify the entire Jizhou.

However, despite this, Cao Cao also knew that with Liu He's ability, it should not be difficult to take over a mere Jizhou, and the local people in Jizhou would not be so stupid as to fight Liu He to the death, so Liu He unified the entire Jizhou, Definitely not too long.

But Cao Cao never imagined that the time Liu He took was so short, so short that it was far beyond his expectations.When he first heard that Liu He had completely pacified the whole of Hebei, his expression was full of shock and disbelief, and he murmured: "How is this possible? Apart from playing tricks and tricks, what else is Liu He worthy of praise? Why did Jizhou The people and officials of the people are willing to take refuge in him? Aren’t Simpi and Shenpei all loyal people? How come they also surrendered? And Jushou, isn’t his bone hard? Why did he also choose to surrender? He What about his backbone? What about his arrogance?"

Although angry in his heart, Cao Cao had to accept the facts. At the same time, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, sent an envoy to congratulate Liu He, and made a statement to the court, worshiping Liu He as the shepherd of Jizhou, and requesting the expansion of Liu He's fiefdom.

So the imperial court decreed to worship Liu He as the shepherd of Jizhou and expand the food town by [-] households.

In this way, Liu He is also a general, a lieutenant of Sili, and the state shepherd of Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou. He monopolizes five states and Sili. The Sanfu, Hedong, Hanoi and other places of the Xiaowei Department occupied almost half of the Han Dynasty, and the world was shocked for a while, and became the envy and envy of many princes.

At this time, Sun Ce had pacified the Jiangdong area, obtained Lujiang, Danyang, Wu, Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other counties, and was worshiped by the court as General Pingdong, Marquis of Wu, and Prefect of Danyang, and became one of the youngest heroes of the Han Dynasty for a while. However, when he was proud of himself, he suddenly heard the news that Liu He had pacified Jizhou. Cut off Liu He's wings Liu Biao, so in the name of avenging his father, he led an army to attack Liu Biao's Jiangxia, and officially started a war with Liu Biao's army.

Cao Cao, who heard the news, was very happy. He decided to take advantage of Sun Ce's war with Liu Biao, and when he showed his favor to Liu He, he led his troops to suppress Lu Bu in Xuzhou and Yuan Shu in Huainan, so as to completely unify the Central Plains. Also cut off an alliance of Liu He.

Just at this time, Lv Bu and Yuan Shu were fighting each other, and the city of Xiapi was empty. It was a good opportunity for him to lead an army to attack, so he ordered Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Yin Li, etc. who had recently surrendered secretly from Mount Tai to attack. He led the army to attack Langya, and he personally led the army, together with Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Dianwei, Lejin, Cao Hong and others, as well as military advisers Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and Sima Yi, led the army thousands of miles to attack Xiapi City.

At this time, Liu He was preparing to return to Chang'an. On the one hand, in order to avoid becoming a target of public criticism, he went to the court and worshiped Qu Yi as the governor of Youzhou, general Anton, and fake festival. His main task was to train the navy in Youzhou and prepare Attacked Qingzhou from the sea; also worshiped Wei Yan as governor of Bingzhou, general of Anbei, and false festival. Restrain Zhang He, Gao Lan and other Jizhou generals, order them to guard Jizhou, and train soldiers. At the same time, the main purpose is to develop internal affairs, restore the economy, and stabilize people's livelihood.

Liu He also worshiped Zhong Yao as the captain of Sili again, and Pei Qian as the governor of Liangzhou, the governor of Anxi, and the envoy. There are four main tasks. One is to ensure the smooth flow of the newly opened Silk Road. One is to deter the surrounding nomads, and the third is to immigrate to the border and stabilize the western border.

In addition, in order to threaten Hanzhong from two fronts, Liu He appointed Xu Huang as governor of Yongzhou and general of Annan. In order to threaten Hanzhong from Chencang Road.In order to be more conducive to concentrating troops to attack Hanzhong and Xishu, Liu He restored Hanyang County to Tianshui County, the name of the early Later Han Dynasty, and separated the western part from the original Tianshui County to establish Nan'an County, combining Tianshui and Nan'an with Longxi, Longxi, The four prefectures of Anding merged into Yongzhou together.

Although these five state-level officials appointed by Liu He are actually his subordinates, they are all courtiers of the great Han Dynasty on the surface. Among them, Qu Yi and Shen Pei are all Yuan Shao's generals. , Pei Qian is the son of Pei Mao, the Shangshu of the imperial court. Even though the others are as bright as a mirror in their hearts, they can't find any reason or excuse to oppose it on the surface.

However, what Liu He couldn't imagine was that Xu Huang, his governor of Yongzhou, was still on his way to take office when he heard that a great change had taken place under his rule.

It turns out that at this time Ma Chao, who defected to Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Han Sui, who defected to Qiangzhong, Wudu, reached a secret settlement. With the support of Zhang Lu and the Qiang soldiers, Ma Chao and Han Sui led an army of [-] to Longxi County. Lintao, launched a fierce attack on Lintao.

Ever since, after a period of silence, the situation in Longxi rose again, and the war broke out again.
