Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 270

After learning about the affairs in Hebei, Liu Yu asked Liu Bei about the recent developments of Yuan Shu in Yangzhou.

After Yuan Shu occupied Yangzhou, he led Yangzhou Mu by himself, with [-] soldiers under his armor. At this time, he was using troops against Xuzhou and Jiangdong at the same time.

The two brothers of the Yuan family, one in the north and the other in the south, both have the strength to dominate one side.

"It is reported that Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce, is serving as a general under Yuan Shu's tent. This time, Sun Jian's escape may have something to do with Yuan Shu's recruitment."

After listening to Liu Bei's analysis, Liu Yu nodded noncommittally.

"Sun Jian knows the background of our army. Fortunately, Yangzhou is not close to Luoyang. Even if there are rumors coming from Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo may not immediately believe them. But for the sake of safety, the plan to eliminate Dong must be accelerated!"

Not only might there be rumors spreading in Yangzhou, but also in Chengmou County, Sun Jian's banner could not always be upheld.

At this time, Chengmou County was in the rising stage of development and construction. Many benevolent governance and development plans were formulated by Liu Yu in advance, and the people must not misunderstand that he did it and gained a good reputation for nothing.

That's why Liu Yu is going to make a big deal this time, fighting on the three fronts at the same time, weakening Dong Zhuo's strength as soon as possible, and clearing the way for the final showdown.

After basically grasping the movements of the Yuan brothers, Liu Yu asked about the latest situation in Bingzhou.

"Is there any new news from Bingzhou recently?"

Bingzhou is a "bright way" pointed out by Liu Yu to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is also one of Liu Yu's most important princes.

Liu Bei replied: "I heard that Cao Cao occupied Taiyuan and got along well with the local rich people. Last time, he specially asked someone to send Situ Wangyun a large box of special products from Taiyuan."

Situ Wangyun's hometown is in Taiyuan, Cao Cao showed his favor to the big family, it seems that he wanted to manage it well.

Then Liu Bei continued: "However, Cao Cao only occupied the two counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan, and the other counties of Bingzhou are still in the hands of Wuhuan and the Huns. All-out war!"

In the nine counties of Bingzhou, the Huns entrenched in the four counties of Wuyuan, Shuofang, Shangjun, and Xihe, while the Wuhuan people regarded the three counties of Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Yanmen as tribal territories.

But most of these places are uninhabited places, Cao Cao will not be too interested in attacking them, so when he stabilizes the richest two counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang, he will definitely set his sights on other rich places, maybe Will kill back to the carbine.

Shangdang County is on the border with Hanoi County, and Hanoi County is one of the territories in Liu Yu's plan.

There are no constant allies among the princes, and Liu Bei is worried that Cao Cao will counterattack Hanoi County or even Hulao Pass after he becomes powerful.

"Xuande has become more and more thoughtful about things. Shangdang County must be on guard, so it is even more necessary to capture Hanoi County as a buffer zone for Chengmu. However, judging from the current situation, Cao Cao has no plans to go south for the time being. So we have enough time to deal with Zhang Yang."

Of course Liu Yu knew that Cao Cao was not a kind person, but could Cao Cao really gain a foothold in Bingzhou so quickly?

There are millions of black bandits in the Taihang Mountains, and only when they are completely wiped out can Cao Cao really gain a firm foothold in Bingzhou.

Finally, when the two walked to the alley in the south of the city, Liu Yu asked about Lu Bu's situation again.

After Lu Bu defected to Luoyang, he did not go to his friend Zhang Yang, because Hanoi County was too close to Luoyang and Liu Yu, so after discussing with Chen Gong, Lu Bu set the Yanzhou area as the goal of achieving hegemony.

Although Liu Dai, governor of Yanzhou, was the head of the prefecture, few prefects in the county listened to him. Among them, Zhang Miao from Chenliu, Bao Xin from Jibei, and Yuan Yi from Shanyang were all as powerful as Liu Dai. This has also led to a situation where Yanzhou is in its own way and no one obeys the other.

Lü Bu is a wild wolf, and if he is allowed to enter Yanzhou, he will definitely start a massacre. The counties and counties that are not very strong in the first place, coupled with the fact that they are fragmented and unable to unite, may find it difficult to stop the attack of the Bingzhou Army. Lord Yanzhou is also a matter of time.

The strong are always strong, even if they develop in another place, they are still unstoppable, just like Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

However, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Gongsun Zan have basically returned to their respective development trajectories, and no one can stop them from becoming stronger for a while.

In addition, there is a restless family in Jiangdong. Sun Jian is not dead, so will the Jiangdong Sun family develop faster and stronger under the joint leadership of Sun Jian and Sun Ce?
So Liu Yu has to step up his pace, trying to get things done in Luoyang before these princes grow up to become super overlords.

……

Before coming to the house, Liu Yu saw Wang Yun and the three standing outside waiting angrily.

Liu Yu knew that Dong Bai must be acting as a monster at home again, so he gave a wry smile helplessly, and had no choice but to step forward and apologize to the three of them.

"It's Liu Yu's crime to neglect the three adults, and I hope the three adults don't want to be as knowledgeable as the princess!"

"Your Majesty Zhongshan, you should explain it carefully. How did the princess of Weiyang become the home of your Liu family?" Xun Shuang asked with a displeased face.

Wang Yun was calmer than him, knowing that this was not the time to press Liu Yu and Dong Bai's relationship, so he interrupted Xun Shuang with two coughs.

"I'm here because of the Taicang matter. I also ask King Zhongshan to move to the old man's mansion to talk about it."

Wang Yun felt that with Dong Bai in Liu's mansion, they would not be able to talk freely with Liu Yu, so he invited Liu Yu to Situ's mansion to discuss important matters.

"Gongming is worse than obeying orders. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with the three adults!" Having made two Sangongs and one Jiuqing wait outside the mansion for a long time, how could Liu Yu refuse their invitation again.

When he arrived at Situ's mansion, Liu Yu asked first.

"The three adults are looking for me in such a hurry, shouldn't it be just for the small matter of arranging manpower for Taicang?" Tomorrow, the food will be escorted to the southwest, and Liu Yu still has a lot of things to arrange, and he doesn't want to waste too much time here.

As the head of the three, Wang Yun also straight to the point stated the real purpose of inviting him here.

"The three of us want to ask King Zhongshan...what is the relationship with Dong Bai, the owner of Weiyang County? If King Zhongshan is fond of Dong Bai, then...it will be a great regret for the court!

"Where did Master Situ say that! Dong Bai is just a naive little girl, she just walks closer to my wife."

The relationship between Liu Yu and Dong Bai is a secret in Liu's residence, and it cannot be made public yet.

"It's true that Muzhi has no relationship with Dong Zhuo?" Hearing Liu Yu's denial of his intention to be attached to Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun's attitude towards him immediately became friendly.

Liu Yu replied affirmatively: "Of course not! I am actively deploying the third step of the plan to eliminate Dong Zhuo. How could it be possible to become relatives with Dong Zhuo!"

At this time, Sikong Xun Shuang said with a smile: "The king of Zhongshan first eliminated Guo Si, and then designed Lu Bu. Presumably the third step of the plan must be quite big, and the old man just happened to have a big plan here that needs Mu Zhi's participation. !"
