Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 408
The summer is gone, the cold is coming, and the spring is coming again. Before you know it, another year has passed.

During this year, there were more or less wars in You, Hebei, Qing, Yu, Yang, Jiao, Yi, and Yan eight prefectures.

The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, counting the newly established Hezhou, the separated Sizhou and Yongzhou, should now be the fifteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and more or less wars have occurred in more than half of the places.

During this year, many forces perished. The 22 princes in the alliance that once vigorously challenged Dong Dong had already disappeared several times in just one year.

Kong Rong and Han Fu were the first to disappear. Kong Rong was alright. Although he lost Beihai and his generals who joined Liangshan were gifted to Liu Bei by him, at least he still survived. Now, with Liu Bei's protection, the small life can be considered nourishing and nourishing.

But Han Fu was once the lord of a state at any rate, so he committed suicide just like that.In fact, he has already given up Jizhou, since Yuan Shao is not interested in making trouble for him.

But who knew that Han Fu would be mistaken, thinking that Yuan Shao was still unwilling to let him go, so he ran to commit suicide in fear, most especially in the toilet.

Yuan Shao who received the news was also quite speechless.

But Han Fu's death gave Gongsun Zan an opportunity, which directly set off a wave of public opinion wars in the Three Kingdoms version, causing Yuan Shao to be busy dealing with the public relations crisis for a long time.

Of course, Yuan Shao was not idle when dealing with the public relations crisis. While confronting Gongsun Zan, he also dealt with other minor princes in Jizhou.

Yuan Yi, Chancellor of the Changshan Kingdom, needless to say, this person has no ambitions, and we are a family, so he handed over the Changshan Kingdom to Yuan Shao.And Yuan Shao did not treat this knowledgeable clansman badly, and there was no shortage of high officials and rich salary.But Zhang Miao saw that his arm couldn't twist his thigh, so he also gave up on Zhao Jun and surrendered to Yuan Shao directly, but he himself went south to Yanzhou to find Cao Mengde, whom he admired a lot.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan took advantage of the time difference and took advantage of Yuan Shao's integration of Jizhou's forces, and sent troops to take down Anping and Julu counties.From then on, among the nine prefectures in Jizhou, Yuan Shao controlled the sixth, while Gongsun Zan controlled the third.

In addition to these princes, Yuzhou is the most serious next.After Yuan Shu obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, his ambitions soared, and he directly started the pace of capturing the entire Yuzhou.

In addition to Yuan Shu, Yuzhou also had people like Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River. Sun Jian was naturally not a peaceful master, especially after he had the assistance of his brother Sun Wu, he also began to have the ambition to expand his territory.

When these two men made such a fuss, Kong Ni, Bao Xin, and other small princes in Yuzhou would not be able to live in peace. Even Cao Cao in Yanzhou took advantage of the chaos in Yuzhou and sent troops to take advantage of the talent in Yingchuan County. The cradle is in her hands.

With the war of this year, the rudiments of Yuzhou's power have basically settled down. Among the counties in Yuzhou, Cao Mengde took advantage of the chaos and took away Yingchuan County.After all, Yuan Shu has a strong foundation and a large number of troops. Even if Sun Jian had Sun Wu, the soldier sage, he had the upper hand in the early stage, and won Chen County, Yiyang County, Yang'an County, Xiangcheng County, and Ruyin County. Sun Jian only captured the three counties of Liang, Pei, and Qiao.

However, in the next battle between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, he felt uncomfortable.With Sun Wu, a god-level commander, even though Yuan Shu's military strength is much higher than that of Sun Jian, he was still educated and lost troops one after another. The generals Yuan Shu sent to fight on the front line almost doubted their lives.

However, Yuan Shu's background is really deep enough. Even if Yuan Shu was defeated several times, his power is still not comparable to that of Sun Jian.However, Yuan Shu was also forced by Sun Jian to temporarily give up attacking Sun Jian, and chose to defend temporarily.

In the land of Yangzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang still chose to let Hong Xiuquan go temporarily. After all, Hong Xiuquan was not a big threat to him, and there was still some use for keeping him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up the pace of expansion. Although he did not move Hong Xiuquan for the time being, he made plans for other counties in Yangzhou.

Those princes in Jiangdong are really too weak, even the little overlord Sun Ce can easily wipe them out, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor who came from the lowest starting point but still established a generation of hegemony, then Zhu Yuanzhang's level of opening a bowl Not talking about it.

Yuzhang and Kuaiji were easily taken by Zhu Yuanzhang. The territory of these two counties is really big, and the area of ​​light roads can almost be compared with some smaller states.Of course, after taking these two places, it means that Zhu Yuanzhang has to face the threat of Shanyue.

At the same time, during this period of time, Cao Cao also joined forces with Liu Dai and Tao Qian to fight Chi You of Yanzhou.

After this battle was fought, in the end, it was unknown who had gained the advantage. Cao Mengde was lucky enough to defeat Jiyin County, but his two alliances suffered a lot.

Liu Dai died directly in this battle, and of course his remaining forces were annexed by Cao Mengde as a matter of course.

On Tao Qian's side, his confidant Cao Bao unfortunately died on the battlefield. As for whether it was a coincidence or an intentional person, I don't know. Tao Qian, an elite soldier, can only be temporarily handed over to Zhao Kuangyin to lead.

And in this battle, the one that shocked the world the most was the battle between You Liang and Chi You, the number one general under Cao Cao's command.The elder You Liang is indeed brave, but there is still a small distance compared with Chi You who is the peak of the god general. The two sides finally fought for nearly 200 rounds and ended with Chi You's victory.

But it's a pity that although Chi You is capable of defeating You Liang, Chi You can't stop You Liang if he wants to run away.

In the land of Jiaozhou, it was enough for Xiang Yu to take it over for more than a year.Even Xiang Yu not only completely won here, but also went to Yizhou for a tour.

However, Yizhou is famous for its dangerous terrain, and people keep their doors closed, so what can you do no matter how powerful you are?
Having wasted more than a year here, but failed to accomplish anything, and Liu Biao's forces in Jingbei were also ready to move, Xiang Yan had no choice but to go back home and give up the plan to attack Yizhou.Fortunately, the dispatch of troops this time is not a loss, at least Jiaozhou was successfully taken down.

In addition, the Xiang family has acquired a group of talents in Jiaozhou, and Cheng Bing, Xue Zong and others can be considered to make up for the shortage of civil servants in the Xiang family.
