Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 521 Changes in the Situation

It was already five days after returning to Wanling. Yuan Shu did not further invade Xiapi or go north after he acquired Peijun. Li Ming was still thinking about stability and did not launch an attack. The battle of Xuzhou naturally came to an end.

Xuzhou Rescue Battle: Completed 41% (the enemy retreated, the battle ended early); the evaluation was 'average'; the experience gained was XXXXX; the ore - Meteorite was obtained.

The harvest of this battle is not enough to raise to level 60; that is, Wang Yu, Zhang Mo and Xi Zhi have benefited, and they have all been raised by 1 level, that's all.The quality of meteoric iron is better than that of ordinary fine steel, but among the special materials, it can only be regarded as average. No matter how this battle is, it feels like it is a bit of a disadvantage.

"How is Lao Cao's situation?" Li Ming called Jia Xu. Lao Cao's lair was invaded by Lu Bu, leaving less than half of Dongjun County and Jiyin County under his command. The three counties of Taishan, Donghai and Pengcheng just obtained.

Counting Kong Rong was also a beneficiary, and he went south to support, but Wu Anguo took Langye County on the way back.

Strictly speaking, during Tao Qian's reign, the five counties of Xuzhou also defeated Pei County. Yuan Shu proclaimed himself the shepherd of Yuzhou, and Pei County itself was under the rule of Yuzhou, so it seemed legally reasonable for him to take Pei County back.

The three counties of Pengcheng, Donghai and Taishan were taken by Cao Cao, Langye County was taken by Kong Rong, and Li Ming occupied the two counties of Guangling and Xiapi. In this way, the huge Xuzhou was divided up by three forces.

In terms of benefiting the most, it is probably Li Ming, so that Yangzhou has a base in Jiangbei.At the same time, Zhou Tai can join forces with Gan Ning to further cut off the connection between Jingbei and Jingnan, so that Liu Biao will not be able to go south to rescue the four counties of Jingnan.

Even... Li Ming looked at the map, Jiangxia County was clearly within the attack range!

"My lord should care not about Cao Cao, but about Yizhou..." Jia Xu replied slowly.

"What's wrong with that old Liu Yan? Liu Ting has become self-reliant instead?" Although Li Ming was teasing, his expression turned serious.According to Jia Xu's habit, if there is no major event in Yizhou, he will not bypass Lao Cao's side.

"Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died of a back sore a month ago. Liu Zhang blocked the news and secretly inherited Yizhou Mu. From a legal point of view, he was self-proclaimed. It's just that his actions did not hide the truth from the court. After breaking through Baishuiguan, they drove all the way in and captured Chengdu three days ago. Liu Zhang was arrested and returned to Chang'an, and Yizhou officially returned to the imperial court. Liu Ting ordered Wei Xi to be the new governor of Yizhou." Jia Xu He replied, "Wei Ji is Wei Zhongdao's cousin."

"Wei Xi is only 30 years old, yet he can already serve as governor?" Li Ming frowned. Wei Zhongdao's unmarried wife, Cai Yan, is now Zhang Mo's daughter-in-law.The rise of the Hedong Wei family is obviously not what he wants to see.

"The Wei family was the first family in Hedong County to defect to the imperial court, and they themselves were regarded as the old ministers of the great Han. Without the help of the Wei family, the imperial court would not be able to easily conquer Hedong County. You must know that Dong Zhuo has managed it for a long time." Jia Xu replied.

After a pause, he continued: "It's not easy for Lu Bu. After Lu Bu entered Yanzhou, the imperial court brazenly launched an offensive against Hanoi. Zhang Xiu couldn't stop Ma Chao's attack. He has already retreated into Chenliu County. Hanoi has already fallen into the imperial court's territory." Hands. However, Lu Bu’s resentment against others in Hanoi is also the key, and he can’t live with his own crimes.”

"Yuan Shao will watch the imperial army enter Hanoi County?" Li Ming raised his brows. The imperial court controlled Hanoi County, and in a blink of an eye they could directly attack Bingzhou. This is definitely not what Yuan Shao wants to see.

"Yuan Shao seems to have reached an agreement with the imperial court. His nephew Gao Gan has already served as the governor of Bingzhou. Yuan Shao's main target is Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and this is also the key to his agreement with the imperial court. A few days ago, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu , proclaiming himself the Shepherd of Youzhou, officially taking over the military and political power of Youzhou, this is obviously not what the court wants to see." Jia Xu replied.

"Hebei seems to be completely controlled by Yuan Shao... the western part is almost owned by the imperial court. Nanyang County in Jingzhou is already under the imperial court's rule. In fact, Nanjun and Jiangxia Commanderies are under Liu Biao's command and are under the imperial court's command. Jiaozhou is now a power vacuum. Peng Hu has to go one step further... Pang De, Zu Lang, Zhang Xi and Huang Gai also need to speed up the conquest of the four southern counties..." Li Ming muttered in a low voice.

Now Hebei and the west have been completely pacified, and Jiangdong and the Central Plains still have remnants of forces, but depending on the situation, a three-point pattern of the world has formed.It is only a matter of time before the imperial court, Yuan Shao and Li Ming stand together.The key is the four forces of Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Kong Rong and Yuan Shu. In such a situation, what should they do? !

"My lord..." Jia Xu further added, "Liu Biao had resigned from the imperial court three days ago, and now he has given up his status as the shepherd of Jingzhou. Sun Jian succeeded him as governor of Jingzhou, and Nanjun and Jiangxia Commanderies in the north of Jingzhou have also returned to the imperial court."

"Fuck, Liu Biao is so cowardly!?" Li Ming immediately cursed.

"Liu Biao has completely lost control of Jingzhou after the first battle against the remnants of the South Yue Kingdom. Cai and Kuai are aggressive. He probably just took the opportunity to get out of this mess. Sun Jian wants to completely subdue Cai and Kuai, and there are others like Ponzi and Kuai. It is not so easy for Huang and others to take over Jingzhou's military and political affairs." Jia Xu replied.

"No wonder I have to look back first...Indeed, it seems impossible to continue the Northern Expedition..." Li Ming muttered, "Under the current situation, the four counties in Jingnan and Jiaozhou are our core focus!"

"That has to be next year!" Wang Yu walked in, "It's very troublesome to mobilize manpower and materials. The south is more fucked than the north, and the materials needed are far more than the north. Our fund reserves are a problem. In order to prevent emergency One, at least next year's autumn harvest, after the money and food are in the warehouse, can we consider taking action against Jingnan and Jiaozhou."

"Blame me? By the way, who is beside you?" Li Ming sighed helplessly, and looked at the man beside Wang Yu.At first glance, this man's complexion is ruddy and his limbs are strong, and he is vaguely similar to Guan Yu. If his beard is not as long as Guan Yu's, Li Ming may think it is Guan Yu.

"This is Wei Yan, from Xinye County, Nanyang County. He was born from a poor family. He originally planned to enlist in the army, but it turned out that Sun Jian's concubine Sun Lang was in charge of conscription. Those who escaped from the Han army went south to join us.

Huang Zhong was also recruiting at the time, and he saw Wei Yan's extraordinaryness at the first sight. He wanted to be promoted directly, but also considering that he came from a poor family, had no systematic study of military tactics, and the methods of practicing Qi and martial arts were also crude, so he was recommended to join him. Study for a while, this is his recommended book. "Wang Yu introduced Wei Yan who was beside him, and then handed over Huang Zhong's letter of recommendation.

"Subordinate Wei Yan, I've met Lord Hou!" Wei Yan stepped forward and saluted Li Ming with cupped hands.

"Since you join the army, you are my subordinate... I don't know how talented you are, but Kuaiji Academy has detailed assessment methods... I don't look down on you, I also come from a poor family! I hope that in the past two years, you If you can study the art of war well, if your talent is outstanding, how about you start as a military marquis in two years?!" Li Ming asked.

"My subordinates pay homage to the lord!" With Sun Lang's comparison, Wei Yan was very convinced by Li Ming's performance, so he sincerely worshiped him.

　After checking, Yiyang was actually established in the year 220 of Emperor Wei Wen. Since Yiyang governed Xinye, I said that Wei Yan was from Xinye.
