One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 162 Huge crisis

"So, the world has changed from thirteen states to fourteen states!?" Qin Yi was taken aback.As expected, history has been changed beyond recognition.Just because he saved King Hongnong, today's big man has two courts and one more state.

Although he also helped the Kanto princes to end the war against Dong Zhuo ahead of schedule, but if King Hongnong had died, it is estimated that history would not have such a big change.

Xu Huang nodded and said, "I guess Mrs. Guo wants to be governor of Yongzhou or governor of the state."

Zhao Yun interjected: "But now the three counties in Yongzhou, Henan Yin and Hedong counties have nearly half of the land. Because they are close to Luoyang, all the officials, gentry and people have been forced to move westward by Dong Zhuo. They have long been uninhabited for hundreds of miles. The remaining Hanoi counties are Wang Kuang's territory is under the control of the Yecheng court. Even if the Chang'an court recruits the Baibo army, does Mrs. Guo want to guard an open space and become an official?"

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Qin Yi was also curious.What is Mrs. Guo planning?

"Zilong's words are wrong." Xu Huang said, "As far as I know, the Baibo army now has tens of thousands of people. They are entrenched in Xihe County. With the land of Yongzhou, he can settle his troops. Furthermore, if the Baibo army is recruited by the Chang'an court, they will turn thieves into good men, which is also a great fortune for them."

"Oh, this Mrs. Guo has quite a strategic vision. Yongzhou is located at the junction of the Chang'an court and the Yecheng court, which happens to be a blank area for the two forces. If Mrs. Guo occupies Yongzhou and concentrates on developing it for a few years, she can move east or west at will. Attacking westward is a grand plan." Qin Yi suddenly realized.

"What the county lord said is probably Mrs. Guo's true thoughts." Xu Huang said, "Although he wants to recruit peace, he will never sincerely serve the Chang'an court."

"What if the Chang'an court refuses to recruit?" Zhao Yun asked.

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "Whether the imperial court agrees or not, Mrs. Guo's strategic goal is to become the de facto master of Yongzhou. Besides, he can turn his head and ask the emperor in Yecheng to ask for peace. Ours The imperial court has just opened its doors and is in urgent need of being recognized by the princes, so it will definitely agree to Mrs. Guo's request."

Speaking of this, Qin Yi suddenly had an idea, if he led troops to occupy Luoyang at this time, then I would be able to occupy a state like Mrs. Guo.

Thinking about it again, I only have about a thousand people under my command, even if Luoyang is occupied, I can't keep it.Even if Mrs. Guo doesn't come to compete with him, he is not as powerful as Mrs. Guo, after all, he is guarding an open space.

You can eat as much rice as you want with as many bowls as you want. Let’s not talk about this kind of unreasonable thinking.

"By the way, Gongming, has Chang'an appointed the chief officer of Yongzhou?" Qin Yi thought of another question.

"Dong Zhuo has announced that Zhang Ji is the governor of Yongzhou. But for some reason, Zhang Ji did not go to Yongzhou to take up the post."

Zhao Yundao: "Why else, Yongzhou is now almost useless, and it is useless for Zhang Ji to go."

"Zilong is right. I think the reason why the Chang'an court newly established Yongzhou is just for a name. It shows that they have not given up the land of Yongzhou. This is why Mrs. Guo wants to appeal to the Chang'an court for peace, but not to the Chang'an court. The reason why the court of Yecheng made a statement," Qin Yi said.

"Just for a name?" Xu Huang was thoughtful.

"Fame is invisible and intangible, but it is extremely important to the ruler. The emperor in Yecheng was restored to the throne, isn't it because he is the orthodox heir of the Han Dynasty appointed by the late emperor? This is the power of fame." Qin Yi patiently explained to Xu Huang.

Having spent so many days with Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, he has a good understanding of their personalities.Zhao Yun usually doesn't talk much, but he is good at thinking.Xu Huang, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He is straightforward and talkative.He is extremely enthusiastic about fighting and has military talents, but he doesn't pay much attention to other things.

"It's no wonder that the Chang'an imperial court appointed the prefects of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Yuzhou." Xu Huang suddenly realized, "It turned out to be for fame."

Qin Yi was surprised: "What did you say, the Chang'an court also appointed the prefects of Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Yuzhou?"

Xu Huang nodded and said: "According to the information I heard, the Chang'an court did not recognize the emperor of Yecheng. It tried its best to say that King Hongnong was dead and that the emperor who ascended the throne in Yecheng was someone impersonated by Yuan Shao. The Chang'an court also appointed Hu Shou was the pastor of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan was the pastor of Youzhou, Yuan Shu was the pastor of Yuzhou, and Niu Fu was the pastor of Bingzhou."

When Qin Yi heard this, he smiled immediately: "Gongsun Zan is making money at both ends. The Yecheng court named him the governor of Youzhou, and the Chang'an court named him the governor of Youzhou. I don't know if he will become the governor or the governor of the state."

"It must be the state shepherd!" Zhao Yun said with certainty.

"Why did Zilong make such an assertion?" Qin Yi asked hastily.

"The state shepherd is higher than the governor of the state, this is one. Second, Gongsun Zansu is not in harmony with Yuan Shao and Liu Yu, so he will definitely not support the court of Yecheng. The Chang'an court appointed him as the shepherd of Youzhou, and it must have saved Yuan Shao with Gongsun Zan thought."

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Yi knew that what Zhao Yun expected was right.In the original history, Gongsun Zan once wanted to kill Liu Yu, and had a big battle with Yuan Shao.Rumor has it that he and Dong Zhuo were flirting too.Under the current situation, a battle between Jizhou and Youzhou may be inevitable.

Xu Huang said at this time: "Listening to Zilong's words made me suddenly enlightened! At first, I couldn't understand why the Chang'an court granted Yuan Shu the title of Yuzhou shepherd, but now I understand. He has always been at odds with Yuan Shao, and the Chang'an court appointed him as the shepherd of Yuzhou, obviously trying to win him over to fight against Yuan Shao."

"Haha, Gongming has also learned to think about political matters." Qin Yi laughed gratifiedly.The casual long talk between the three of them had already become a bit of a talk about the general trend of the world at this time.Not only did Qin Yi understand the current situation, but it was also a rare opportunity for the three of them to discuss and learn from each other.

"Then... have Hu Shou and Niu Fu been appointed?" Qin Yi asked Xu Huang.

Xu Huang said: "I haven't taken up the post right now. Hu Shou probably won't go to Jizhou, he's looking for death if he goes, just like what Tian Yu said just now, Chang'an court appointed Hu Shou as Jizhou Shepherd just for fame."

"What about Niu Fu, will he come to Bingzhou?" This is what Qin Yi is most concerned about.He, the county magistrate of Lu County, was appointed by Liu Bianfeng, but Niu Fu belonged to Dong Zhuo.If Niu Fu came to Bingzhou, he would suffer.

Xu Huang shook his head and said, "I can't deduce that."

"Niu Fu will definitely come to Bingzhou." Zhao Yun said, "Since Ding Yuan's death in Bingzhou, although Dong Zhuo claimed that Zhang Yang was the governor, Zhang Yang didn't really control Bingzhou, and he disappeared later. Today's Bingzhou is actually without a trace. The land of the Lord. If Dong Zhuo does not want Bing Prefecture to be occupied by Yuan Shao, he will definitely send Niu Fu to take office here."

"Zilong is right. Dong Zhuo will definitely not give up Bingzhou, and Niu Fu will definitely come." Qin Yi suddenly felt a huge crisis.
