Yuan Shao and Han Fu tried it on a small scale around Puyang in Dongjun. In fact, Yuan Shao was more in implementing Xu You's strategy, which was to tactical attack on Han Fu's win over Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who were the Yellow Turbans, and dealt with Zhang Jiao in a cold manner.

The prefect of Dongjun was originally Qiao Mao, but now Qiao Mao was moved to Hedong Prefect, but it was just a plan for Yuan Shao to avoid carrying the burden of Dongjun. Dongjun now has no prefect at all. The population of the entire Dongjun has been basically moved to Hebei by Han Fu. This was also the idea that Ju Shuo Han Fu was to become an isolation area, temporarily isolate Han Fu from the Central Plains and avoid being affected by the Central Plains clans.

Yuan Shao stayed near Puyang, on the one hand, to put pressure on Han Fu, and on the other hand, to give Zhang Miao the unsteady Zhang. Zhang Miao stood on Yuan Shao's side at the beginning of the alliance and supported Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, but his performance afterwards was still a little swaying. How could Yuan Shao not know that this guy's fundamental purpose was to encourage the Yuan brothers to rebel and then plan to become independent.

Moreover, it is not only Zhang Miao who has this idea. I am afraid that Liu Dai and Bao Xin also have this kind of thought. Yuan Shao’s affairs in Jizhou have not been completely settled yet, and he will not care about Yanzhou for a while. As for Yuzhou, it is purely Yuan Shu’s affairs and has nothing to do with Yuan Shao.

However, Yuan Shao must not be able to watch the guys in Yanzhou hug each other, which is definitely not a good thing for Yuan Shao. Therefore, Yuan Shao must make an illusion in front of Bao Xin and Liu Dai, that is, Yuan Shao has reached a tacit understanding with Zhang Miao, and it is very likely that Yuan Shao will support Zhang Miao to become the lord of Yanzhou.

On the one hand, Yuan Shao instructed Yan Liang to lead his troops to expel and suppress Han Fu's troops to retreat back to Puyang. On the other hand, he also personally left Chen Liu and secretly discussed with Zhang Miao under the eyes of Yuan Shu and various forces.

As for what the two were discussing, the news from all aspects was a bit unbelievable. Yuan Shao was just discussing with Zhang Miao to purchase food and grass for supply to the army near Puyang, and purchased some weapons and arrows. Of course, the price given by Yuan Shao was very good, and Zhang Miao made a lot of money.

However, whether it was Yuan Shu or Liu Dai, Bao Xin would not believe this. Yuan Shu, who was irritable, even went to the letter to ask Zhang Miao, who was Zhang Miao, and he was also a big celebrity. At that time, he was also known as one of the "Eight Chefs", so how could he be so idle with Yuan Shu, a second-generation gangster, that he did not even reply to the letter and sent someone to tell Yuan Shu who was organizing reconstruction in Luoyang City that there was no food left. If you want it, pay for it!

Yuan Shu was almost mad and immediately wanted Zhang Xun stationed in Zhongmu to send troops to attack Chenliu. Zhang Miao was prepared and directly ordered Wei Zi to lead his army to Junyi. He was ready to fight with Yuan Shu.

However, in the end, Yuan Shu did not openly fight with Zhang Miao under the persuasion of his advisers and clan elders, but Yuan Shu and Zhang Miao completely broke up. Fortunately, Yuan Shu, Kong Yichang from Yingchuan and Zhu Jun from Runan, could provide support to Luoyang. In addition, a large amount of food and grass equipment was originally stored in Zhongmu, but now they are transported to Luoyang, which can support the summer harvest.

The key now is to restore spring plowing around Luoyang as soon as possible, otherwise even the summer harvest will be gone. Luoyang City has concentrated more than one million people in the surrounding areas! If you want to buy grain from outside, the cost will be great. What's more, Yuan Shu has to save money to rebuild Luoyang!

Although Yuan Shu did not send troops, he sent envoys to Liu Dai, Bao Xin and others. On the one hand, he sought more support for rebuilding Luoyang, and on the other hand, he condemned Zhang Miao's unjust behavior and wooed Liu Dai and Bao Xin to jointly isolate and deal with Zhang Miao. These things naturally fell in Zhang Miao's eyes.

However, this time Zhang Miao became smart and didn't know who gave him the idea. Zhang Miao proposed to support Liu Dai to become the governor of Yanzhou, integrate the military forces of Yanzhou, and jointly defend against the Yellow Turbans of Mount Tai to fight against Yuan Shu's differentiation and win over.

Seeing that his plan succeeded, Yuan Shao immediately gave up Puyang and returned to the plains eastward, completely letting go of Chenliu's north. Zhang Miao was so angry that he cursed, but Han Fu seemed to have no sign of going south for a while. In fact, Han Fu had no plan to go south at all, which scared Zhang Miao.

There was no threat in the north, so Zhang Miao turned his attention to the south. Now the Chen County, Liang State, and Pei State in the south are mainly controlled by the local clans, and there are still places where there is no statement. The clans in these places do not want to express their opinions, but the situation in Yanzhou and Yuzhou is unclear, and the local clan forces are also afraid. If you accidentally stand in the wrong team, you may end up with the family being destroyed. Therefore, you can only pretend to be deaf and do nothing, wanting to see who belongs to the Central Plains in the end, and then it is not too late to stand in the team.

For the surrounding princes, the best way to seize control of these places is military occupation, and Zhang Miao is not the only one who has this intention.

Zhu Jun from Runan is naturally one, but Zhu Jun's strength is a bit too short now. It consumed most of Zhu Jun's energy and troops against Zhang Mancheng, so even if he was urged by Yuan Shu, he was a little powerless. The other one was Kong Yichang, but Kong Yichang was even more powerless. Kong Yichang is not good at the small Yingchuan, let alone a larger territory?

The rest is of course Liu Dai, the most powerful in Yanzhou. Liu Dai now controls Jiyin, Dongping and Lu County, surrounded by Shanyang and Yuan Yi of Rencheng on three sides. At the same time, these three places also directly border Jiyin. Liu Dai naturally intends to take down these three places and open up a passage to Qiao County, and make pedals for the future capture of Qiao County.

Liu Dai could naturally see clearly Zhang Miao, who was quietly trying to attack Chen County while shouting for support of his leadership of the Yanzhou governor and Liu Dai was thinking about the Liang State.

However, before these two people could openly attack these three small counties and states, Qiao County suddenly changed color overnight.

That’s right, it’s Cao Cao who arrived!

Cao Cao traveled thousands of miles and, with the cooperation of the Cao clans in Qiao County, easily captured the county seat of Qiao County. Then Cao Cao divided his troops out and quickly captured the important places in Qiao County. The remaining counties and towns surrendered and changed their flags.

Cao Cao's actions were shocked. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao, who had disappeared for a while, turned out to be the idea of ​​Qiao County. Cao Cao's actions immediately involved the reactions of various forces.

First, Zhu Jun immediately broke away from contact with Zhang Mancheng, ended the offensive momentum, and sent troops south to Huainan to assist in defense to prevent Cao Cao from sneak attacking Huainan County.

Zhang Miao and Liu Dai immediately stopped their small actions. Now Chen County, Liang State and Pei State have become buffer zones for isolating Qiao County. Neither dared to act rashly, for fear of causing Cao Cao's overreaction.

Cao Ren, who was far away in Dai County, received an order to hand over Dai County to Kong Rong, and led his army south to Qiao County. Tao Qian from Xuzhou nervously rectified the army, for fear that Cao Cao would come directly.

However, after Cao Cao took over Qiao County, he had no intention of expanding to the surrounding areas. Instead, he focused on rectifying the governance of Qiao County, adjusting the administrative officials of Qiao County, and issued government orders to actively respond to production. At the same time, he also recruited talents in the countryside. He acted as if he had to practice his internal skills, which really made the neighbors around him breathe a sigh of relief.

But two days later, an edict was suddenly sent from Chang'an, appointing Cao Cao as the prefect of Qiao County, and also in charge of the military and political affairs of Chen County, Liang State and Pei State. At the same time, the emperor also issued an edict to recognize the appointment and removal of Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Gongsun Zan and others, and appointed Yuan Shu as the imperial court of Henan and the ruling of Luoyang, and the prefect of Dong County directly appointed Min Chun, Liu Dai as the governor of Yanzhou, Liu Yan as the governor of Yizhou, and Liu Yu as the governor of Youzhou. During this series of appointments, Dong Zhuo clearly wanted to mess up the Guandong clan, but the Guandong clan could only accept it with his nose.

Although Cao Cao gained control of the three counties and states in the north in a righteous manner, Cao Cao did not rush to take over the territory, but still maintained the original official structure of the three counties and states, and even the garrison troops did not increase at all, which made Zhang Miao and Liu Dai breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Cao Cao did not suddenly become a good person, but Cao Cao has just taken Qiao County and is not suitable to make enemies everywhere without a stable foothold. He can only practice his internal skills first. This is not deliberately for outsiders to see. In fact, since these three counties and countries have already fallen into Cao Cao's hands in name, unless Zhang Miao and Liu Dai start a war to grab them, these three places will definitely not be able to escape, so Cao Cao is not in a hurry at all.

The emperor's edict finally divided the results of the battle in the Central Plains. Judging from the results, Yuan Shao came cleanly, walked cleanly, took nothing away, and even threw away the two territory of Hanoi and Dongjun. Although Hongnong and Hedong were large, Yuan Shao had no ability and no control. Moreover, these two territory were basically in a state of thousands of miles of barren land.

As for Yuan Shu, he achieved the greatest achievements on the surface, but the reconstruction of Luoyang that has been destroyed is not assets but liabilities. Most of the ruined Henan Yin could not recover his vitality for a while. Yingchuan's population was seven or eight, and Runan has always been in war. Only Huainan can be said to be relatively stable, but it is too far from Luoyang.

Unlike the messy situation of the Kanto clan, the situation in Guanzhong is now very good.

Dong Zhuo retreated to Luoyang, and although he lost most of Sili, Dong Zhuo's military situation has never been so good now. In the past, Xiongguan blocked the enemy from Guandong, and later, Xiliang supplied war horse soldiers to the roots. In addition, the captured Guandong population enriched Guanzhong's development land. If Dong Zhuo can successfully capture Hanzhong and obtain the fertile Hanzhong granary, Dong Zhuo's momentum to annex the world will become. Now, looking at the heroes of the world, there is no one who can compete with Dong Zhuo strategically.

Dong Zhuo's ability to get from a side general to his current position is like a series of miracles. He has to praise Li Ru's power. From this point of view, Li Ru is definitely a top strategic master!...)
