Throughout the summer of 190 AD, the land of the Central Plains was filled with the smell of gunpowder.Starting with "Yuan Shu supported King Chenliu", this politically charged war continued until July, and more and more characters joined the battlefield. At this point, the world is almost in chaos and it is impossible to see the situation clearly.

Yuan Shu, the governor of Xuzhou, reached a private deal with Yangzhou Haoqiang, using vines to climb his own unstable foundation to the south, and using the name of "Four Generations and Three Dukes" and a large amount of materials and money, he forcibly opened up a feasible road , Pulling Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, into the team, delayed Qin Chu for most of the summer.

At the same time, the seemingly quiet northern Yuan Shao also slowly stretched out his tentacles—since he escaped from Luoyang last year, this ambitious family member began to recruit troops and recruit talents, recruiting many scholars and generals in the Jiyan area, With the help of counselors such as Simpi Xuyou, he laid a dark line quietly.

In the winter of last year, Yuan Shao sent Xu You to Luoyang to serve as an envoy to discuss the matter of marriage. Now it seems that this is just one of the means to paralyze Qin and Chu.Now when he raises his arms and calls out, dozens of nobles in the city respond, presumably because of Xu You's contribution at that time.

In addition, Yuan Shao was well aware of his younger brother's arrogance and scheming, so he sent his counselor Xin Pi to Xuzhou Yuan Shu's side, and forcibly set up this not-so-sophisticated conspiracy as a conspiracy, using his southern coalition forces to contain Qin. Most of Chu's troops.

When Yang Biao defected to Yuan Shao is difficult to find out, but after he kicked away his pig teammates, this man's scheming was fully revealed, and he did not know how he lobbied the aristocratic families in Luoyang City, and finally presented "" on Guo Jia's table. The defection list" is almost shocking.

At this time, Sili Prefecture was also resisting the firepower from Yanji and Jizhou in the first place, barely gaining the upper hand by relying on the ability to defend the city, and the scene was stalemate for a while.

In addition to the main battlefield, the princes in places such as Jingzhou and Youzhou on the edge of the war zone are also waiting and watching in panic.

It's just that the battlefield is not like farms and pastures. This place changes rapidly, and the world is turned upside down in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Shao never imagined that the preparation he thought to be foolproof was finally broken after a few days——

After all, Yuan Shu couldn't hold Qin Chu's Jincheng soldiers for him for too long, because there were major changes in Xuzhou.

And the main people who caused the "great changes in the state" happened to be the women advocates who he regarded as objects back then.

When Qin Chu sent people to escort these girls back to Dongwu, he naturally had some considerations.She sent Cai Yan and Xun You to Xuzhou, and wrote a letter to her uncle Fu Cheng in private, hoping that he would secretly take care of these girls, and that she also had the idea of ​​"settling the land and resting the people", hoping that they would infiltrate their power into this place, quietly. Farm quietly and calm the people.

Unexpectedly, these girls are more capable than she thought.If it is said that they were wary of men due to their past experience and Xun You's talents could not be fully displayed, then after Cai Yan's arrival, these women's talents were fully displayed, like raindrops flowing into a river, in a jaw-dropping way. The speed has been integrated into the counties of Xuzhou, and has become the eyes and ears of the Qin and Chu forces here.

In addition to the hemp paper and bamboo paper improved in the countryside, they also played an amazing role in information transmission.After learning that Yuan Shu was marching in Yingchuan, Cai Yan and Xunyou began to run among the shaky Xuzhou aristocratic families—focusing on the small amount of Jincheng Detachment of Women and Langya Fu's trilogy they brought, they finally raised enough soldiers through various methods , In one fell swoop, captured Yuan Shu's few soldiers and horses left in Tancheng, and performed a perfect step of "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".

Of course, Yuan Shao, who was facing off against Qin Chu in Luoyang, knew nothing about it. The most specific news he could get was "Xuzhou civil strife, Yuan Shu's withdrawal", and he didn't have to think about what followed. Know.Fortunately, the temperature was extremely high this summer, and Qin Chu had a particularly large number of troops left in Yuzhou. Before they returned to Luoyang, he still had a period of time to breathe.

These ten days were enough time for him to lead his troops to retreat, and it was also his chance to strangle Qin Chu's lifeline.

It's a pity that although Yuan Benchu ​​himself has a bit of courage to make progress in accordance with the times, he is not a person who is good at making decisions.As for his subordinates, the composition is quite complicated. A few counselors form cliques, and they are clearly divided. They each hold their calculations in their hearts and fight clatteringly. The army is bluffing, and there is nothing wrong with gaining more." There are also some.

Yuan Shao listened to this and then to that, hesitating for two days in a row, he couldn't figure out which suggestion to adopt, he just said "I'll think about it again", then frowned and went back to the tent again.

Xu You followed behind him: "Although there are Han Fu and Liu Dai in the north, they will not be driven out, but if they retreat at this time, the Fuyi people will definitely strengthen their defenses. At that time, if they want to attack Luoyang again, it will take less than a year. It can't be done."

"In this situation, Luo Yang absolutely cannot stay." Ju Shou frowned upon hearing this, glanced at Xu You, quickly looked away, and cupped his hands at Yuan Shao, "Not to mention when the Fuchu reinforcements will arrive... Yuan Shu Hearing that the lord was furious after leaving the army, he apparently beheaded Xin Zuozhi under his horse. This man is arrogant, stupid and foolish, if he makes trouble because of this, our army will be in danger!"

This first brother is indeed his heart knot.

Yuan Shao's expression changed suddenly, he was silent for a moment, and finally waved his hands: "You guys go down first."

Ju Shou: "My lord should come to a conclusion as soon as possible."

What responded to him was Yuan Shao coughing heavily, and the guards in front of the tent immediately lifted the curtain and entered.Jushou naturally understood what he meant, so he kept silent, and took another deep look at him before leaving.

Yuan Shao was displeased by his look, but he also knew that this was not the time to care, so he stood up suddenly from the couch.He walked out of the handsome tent, turned his hands behind his back, looked at the majestic Luoyang city wall in the distance, and said in his heart: "I don't know what step Yang Wen did first in the city."

It's a pity that although he made a decision with his heart, Qin Chu's counselors were not rich and hungry, so it was impossible for him to wait for him to think carefully.With just two days of hesitation, Yuan Shao's [-] soldiers had completely lost the chance to retreat.

Qin Chu sent troops.

After all, they had confronted the Xiqiang rebels in Liangzhou for more than six years. The Jincheng army under Qin Chu moved very quickly. As soon as they heard the order, they rushed up like a tide, and 3 people faced Yuan Shao's [-] troops army.

The Jincheng army set up their camp in the southwest of the countryside, which happened to be opposite to Yuan Shao's camp, so Yuan Jun had long been vigilant.It's just that this army has not been formed for a long time, and its quality is much inferior to that of the Jincheng Army, so even if it had been on guard, it took a while to react.

However, just when Yuan Jun managed to regain his senses and started to line up to fight, the gate of the city was pushed open with a "bang".

Just like when she led the young emperor to push open the gate of Deyang Hall, she once again stood against the light in front of thousands of soldiers and horses, the red tassels tied on the spear/spear moved in the wind, and the red cloak also made hunting sounds.

Yuan Shao took a very light breath. Fortunately, the attention of the people around him was focused on the enemy. He quickly swallowed this nervousness and buried it carefully.

He saw Qin Chu raised his chin, raised his silver spear high with his right hand, gestured at the two groups of soldiers and horses inside and outside the city, and slapped the reins——

The Jincheng soldiers with tens of thousands of black iron scale armor rushed forward without hesitation.

……

"It's not very good."

In the north of Luoyang City, the silk door of the General's Mansion's study room was pulled open with a bang.Cao Cao frowned, holding his sword with his right hand, striding into the study, and said with a heavy face: "After Yang Biao was arrested, the family was urged to release him. In front of the Beigong and Fufu gates, all I have knelt down to see the emperor and queen."

Guo Jia's ears twitched, and when he heard "Emperor and Empress", he finally raised his head from the hill-like official documents and glanced at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao continued: "I sent Zixiu Ali to lead the troops there, and managed to suppress it. Most of them already knew about the war outside the city, so they..."

Guo Jia shook his head and interrupted him directly: "How is Your Majesty?"

"As you said, it is locked in the Xuanming Hall and guarded by three hundred people."

Guo Jia frowned slightly, and said in a more relaxed tone: "My lord is still fighting Yuan Shao outside the city. The siege of Yuzhou has been lifted, so it doesn't matter as long as the reinforcements from the south arrive - we must not let the Rong family make trouble at this time."

Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, and felt overwhelmed, stuck in his lungs and rampaging.He sighed:

"I understand what the military adviser said, but most of the troops in the city have been transferred to fight against Yuan Jun, and the rest of them have to guard the emperor and suppress the aristocratic family. There are really not enough manpower."

"Then transfer it from the North Palace." Guo Jia said decisively, "The emperor is weak and weak, and there will be no chaos when he sees no one... The aristocratic family has always used the tongue as a sharp weapon, and now there are rumors in the city that 'the party is reappearing' and 'extremely like an eunuch' , if they are sent directly to prison, it will easily lead to disaster.”

What he said was very prescient.Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, the most untouchable rulers are those literati who hold pens.The imperial examination system had not yet appeared in the Han Dynasty, and the examination and examination was still the standard for selecting officials, which meant that the same group of people controlled public opinion—now that the emperor was in hand, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao’s several proclamations were just groundless, but if at this time Leaving clues to these aristocratic families, Qin Chu may not become the next Dong Zhuo because of public opinion.

Cao Cao heard the meaning of "can't be persecuted", and suddenly one head became bigger than the other, and he raised his hand to scratch his hair, and two hairs fell out on the spot.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and someone outside the door seemed to call out "girl" in a low voice. sounded.The visitor opened the door regardless, before he could raise his head, he panted and said:

"Father! Military division! Some private soldiers broke in from Xiamen!"

Guo Jia's heart tightened, and his complexion turned pale in an instant.He leaned forward halfway, staring at Cao Li intently, with a little sweat on his forehead: "What did you say?"

"There are really not enough people in the city...My brother and I didn't pay attention when we suppressed it. We missed a messenger and let him slip out and bring back the parts from the family's other courtyard. My brother couldn't bear it, so let me go first Report back."

"Snapped--"

Guo Jia's right hand trembled, and suddenly felt a small piece of wetness on his knee, and he lowered his head calmly, only to realize that the teacup beside the table had been smashed to pieces.
