Ma Teng finally sent troops, using the pretext of following the order to suppress the thieves.

Almost at the same time, Sun Ce also sent troops, using the excuse of revenge for his father.

But Hua Yu had been prepared for a long time. He had sent Huang Zhong as the main general, Xun You as the military adviser, Cheng Gongying, Hu Hu Chi'er, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Cao Hehe and Hu Chuquan as the deputy generals, leading an army of [-] to guard Yangcheng and Fanxukou. And back to the three towns of the city.

On Sun Ce's side, Hua Yu was about to go there in person, and he sent General Pang Tong, Zhang Xiu, Tai Shici, and Lai Man'er to command an army of [-].

When Sun Ce sent troops, Hua Yu led Hu Che'er and 28 Yuwei to go.

Dian Wei is still at Ju Yi.

Because he saw Dian Wei defeating Lu Bu with his own eyes, Chun Yuqiong was very afraid of him.

Although Ju Yi has few soldiers, he can still hold out against Chunyu Qiong.

The two sides did not start a war, just confronted like this.

But the more quiet he was, the more disturbed Chunyu Qiong was, always thinking that Ju Yi would use some tricks.

In fact, there is a trick, and Jia Xu thought it up, but it is not used for the time being.

Jia Xu was waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity was a turning point in the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.

In other words, if Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan continued to fight so evenly, the injuries would become more and more serious, and the strength of both sides would become weaker and weaker.

Therefore, this balance must not be broken, otherwise, Jia Xu will take action to maintain this balance.

And whether this balance is broken, the key lies in the result of the battle of Shanggu County.

If Gongsun Fan wins, Zhang Yun and Han Meng will either die in battle, or they can only flee into the grassland, and Gongsun Zan, the rear of Youzhou, will be safe.

It is also because Gongsun Zan changed the ruling policy of Youzhou, perhaps the people's hearts will gradually be absorbed by him.

At this time, Jia Xu will ask Ju Yi to make peace with Yuan Shao, and what conditions will be reached, and then Ju Yi and Yuan Shao will join forces to deal with Gongsun Zan.

Conversely, if Gongsun Fan was defeated by Zhang He, Shanggu County would not only be as stable as a mountain, but Zhang He would take the opportunity to win another county or two, which would be equivalent to controlling half of Youzhou.

In this way, Gongsun Zan became extremely passive.

On the one hand, it is necessary to continue to dispatch troops and generals to wipe out Zhang Yun's department in the shortest possible time.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zan had to guard against Yuan Shao's counterattack.

After all, Gongsun Zan's military strength is also very limited. If he is not careful, he may fall into the unfavorable situation of being attacked by two sides and fighting on both sides.

Under such circumstances, Jia Xu would naturally act as an ally and help Gongsun Zan deal with Yuan Shao.

In short, Hua Yu did not allow the balance between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao to be broken.

Ju Yi, Jia Xu, and Dian Wei were placed in this position by Hua Yu just to maintain this balance.

In the land of Jiangdong, because of Ji Ling's retreat, Liu Bei's pace of leveling Jiangdong was accelerated too much.

At the same time, because of Yuan Shu's desperate plan, Ji Ling carried out catastrophic damage to Jiangdong when he led his army to withdraw from Jiangdong.

First, grab food and money.

Take away as much as you can, and destroy everything that cannot be taken away.

Second, rob people.

Of course, it is the source of soldiers, that is, those who are over 16 years old and under 30 years old, and there are no old people at home to support them. They can bring as many as they can to Huainan.

Regarding this point, Yuan Shu's original intention was to only arrest men over the age of 16 and under the age of 30, and exclude all other women, children, old and weak.

However, Shu Shao objected, saying that these young men were captured, but their families were left in Jiangdong, and these people could not be kept at all.

Once the battle with Liu Bei starts in the future, these people may be Liu Bei's internal support, or they may directly mutiny.

But if you bring old and weak women and children with you, the speed is too slow.

Finally, Shu Shao came up with an idea that if there are old, weak, young and strong in the family, they should not.

After all, even if these people stayed in Jiangdong, if Liu Bei wanted popular support, he would not be able to conscript them into the army, and he would not be able to pose a threat to Huainan.

In this way, Ji Ling retreated, Liu Bei entered, and Jiangdong changed hands very quickly.

Even Zhuge Liang has no good way to deal with Yuan Shu's plan of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.

After all, every time he arrived in a city, the people's money and food were robbed by Ji Ling, and Liu Bei had to distribute the army rations to help the people.

Liu Bei's military rations were not much, so he could only send people to transport rations from Xuzhou.

In addition, Liu Bei's military strength is also limited. Every city has to send soldiers to maintain order, and the number of available soldiers is getting smaller and smaller.

On the surface, Yuan Shu lost Jiangdong, but he got most of Jiangdong's money and food, as well as tens of thousands of young men.

Although Liu Bei got Jiangdong, it was a devastated Jiangdong that was waiting to be rebuilt.

Fortunately, Liu Bei still has such a big rear area as Yamatai, otherwise, it would be better not to have Jiangdong than to have Jiangdong.

As for Cao Cao, he was still preparing his troops in secret, staring at the battle between Sun Ma and Hua Yu with his small eyes, waiting for the best opportunity.

Among the Jiangdong princes, the most relaxed one was Yuan Shu who listened to Shu Shao's advice.

He didn't think about Yuzhou anymore. Jiangdong's army withdrew, brought back money and food, and brought tens of thousands of young and strong.

Moreover, Jiangdong is too large, if Yuan Shu still occupies Jiangdong, his troops will be very scattered.

But it was different now, Huainan and Jiangxia had gathered nearly 30 soldiers from Yuan Shu.

With 30 soldiers and horses stationed in Huainan and Jiangxia, and there is no risk of food roads, it is estimated that any princes along the way who want to swallow this fat will find it difficult to swallow.

So, the current Yuan Shu is living a very miserable life, and he pays more attention to Shu Shao, almost obeying his advice.

This Shu Shao is also a smart person, and took the opportunity to advise Yuan Shu on several policies that benefit the country and the people, all of which were adopted by Yuan Shu.

Although these policies cannot reverse the fundamental ills of the Dazhong Dynasty, they can also ease the class conflicts that are about to collapse, so that the Dazhong Dynasty can survive for a while.

As the saying goes, it's not bad to think about lust/desire when you are full.

Although the territory of the Dazhong Dynasty was smaller, it was more stable than before. Yuan Shu thought of Feng Shi, the number one beauty in his harem.

There are also many beautiful women in Huainan, and there are also many concubines in Yuan Hou's palace, more than 30 people.

However, among the more than 30 Yingying and Yanyan, none of them can match Feng's beauty.

At the same time, none of the more than 30 Yingying Yanyans can match Feng's skills in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Moreover, these more than 30 Yingying and Yanyan tried their best to please him, they just wanted the queen's throne, or asked for more money and rewards.

Being in such an environment every day, Yuan Shu gradually felt a little tired, and couldn't help thinking of Feng's various benefits.

On this day, after dealing with the political affairs, Yuan Shu made arrangements for the Huangmen to put them in the cold palace.

Playing around in the cold palace?

This Huangmen was very smart, and immediately realized that Yuan Shu was going to take Feng's family out of the cold palace.

After all, Yuan Shu has been on the throne for so long, and has not abolished Feng's empress position.
