People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Jiujiang, Shouchun!
Fleeing to the Jianghuai area, with the Huai River as the line of defense, the remnants of the Cao family can finally breathe a sigh of relief. They don't have to worry about Li Yao leading the cavalry to chop off their heads as soon as they open their eyes.

The so-called Jianghuai land refers to Jiujiang, Lujiang, and a part of Xiapi and Guangling, which are south of the Huai River and north of the Jiang River.

The water system in the Jianghuai area is well developed, even if the cavalry came, it would be difficult to show their power.

The only trouble is that Yuan Shu ruined Jianghuai in dire straits a few years ago, and it has not eased up yet.

The land of Jianghuai supported Yuan Shu, a behemoth who led tens of thousands of soldiers and ruled the south, but Yuan Shu only left Jianghuai with devastation.

Now that the Cao family forces have taken over the Jianghuai area, I am afraid that the original [-] Cao army has reached its limit, and it will be as difficult as climbing the sky to expand the army.

Cao Hong and Cao Ren, who were originally staying in the southeast, learned that Cao Cao and Cao Ang were dead, Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan were killed in battle, Xu Chu and Dianwei were killed in battle, and the original [-] troops lost [-] to [-].

Feeling dark, I almost went to see Cao Cao and Cao Ang directly, but finally calmed down, and still didn't go to see Cao Cao and Cao Ang directly, but I also felt panic in my heart, and was extremely at a loss about the future.

When everyone met, Cao Hong and Cao Ren felt somewhat relieved to see Cao Pi, who looked like a young man and was hurriedly pushed onto the stage, but was calm and presentable.

Then he supported Cao Pi and began to discuss major issues with Xun Yu. In view of the current precarious situation, no matter how much they discussed, no flower would come out.

Three things were finally determined. First, try hard to gain a foothold in Jianghuai, and if you leave the old Cao family, there will be no way out; second, actively contact Jiangdong. The third contacted Cao Cao's old ministers, who used to only care about running for their lives, but now they are finally a little stable, and they can keep as much power in the Central Plains as they can.

Speaking of the Central Plains, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, Li Yao was devouring these territories at this time, Cao Cao died, and the remaining forces fled to Jianghuai. Under the bombardment of news one after another, the states and counties were in chaos. They didn't have enough troops to resist Li Yao's attack, and they could only be eaten in the end.

Of course, Li Yao is not just a Liangzhou warrior, he is also trying to expand his influence. As long as the local powerful families are willing to accept his rule, he also releases some goodwill.

Someone must help manage the land that has been conquered, restore order as soon as possible, and organize the people to start working.

Everything Li Yao did in Jizhou was based on the Jizhou family. Not only could it not be a help to him, but it constantly caused obstacles for him and made him seek death. Who could he blame?

If you want to govern the world, you must first give a signal to the people of the world that you are not a butcher who only knows how to kill. War is an extension of politics, and politics is a process of distributing benefits.

Li Yao can't keep all the interests in his own pocket. The big head is in Guanxi, especially the direct forces in Liangzhou, and the small head is in Guandong. He has a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other to select some people who can represent the people of Guandong. interests, and is willing to surrender to him.

Li Yao dared to say that on the way to deal with Cao, Sun, and Liu in the future, these Kwantung forces who surrendered to him will definitely be the vanguard, and they will be more active than each other.

Sitting on Li Yao's big boat, who cares about the three small boats of Cao, Sun, and Liu, and to show their own value, attacking the three small boats of Cao, Sun, and Liu, and gaining more status on Li Yao's big boat is the most important thing , This is called the general trend, even if some people are willing to go against the sky, but more people will only follow the trend.

Jiangdong, Danyang, Shicheng!

It is across the river from Liyang in Jiujiang County. After Liu Bei was driven away from Xuzhou by Cao Cao, he had to flee to Jiangdong with thousands of remaining soldiers. Although Sun Ce took him in, he would not let him eat and drink for free.

So he was asked to garrison troops in Shicheng. If Cao's army came from Jiujiang, Liu Bei would also send troops to resist.

This still depends on Liu Bei's clan members in the Han family, who have high prestige, great fame, and are still the face of the king of the East China Sea. If it was someone else, Sun Ce would have already wiped it out. It's done.Today Liu Bei and Zhang Fei got the news and came to the river to wait early. Not long after, a small boat floated over.

The two immediately went up to greet the boat, and Guan Yu couldn't wait to get off the boat and landed. Looking at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei not far away, Guan Yu quickened his pace and shouted:
"Big brother, third brother!"

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also ran over immediately, their excitement was beyond words, and they said one after another:

"Second brother!"

"Second brother!"

After the initial excitement, Guan Yu lowered his head in shame and said:

"Brother, Yun Chang is incompetent. He lost his [-] soldiers and horses, and that's why he can only live under the fence and fall into this field..."

When Liu Bei fell into this situation, he naturally had hatred in his heart. He hated Cao Cao first, Liu Biao second, but he didn't hate Guan Yu. He even said in relief:

"No water, no food, no reinforcements, Yun Chang persisted for three months, don't blame Yun Chang, I am incompetent!"

Zhang Fei also said angrily:

"That old man Liu Biao, Cao Cao bullied him, we stood up for him, but when Cao Cao dealt with us, he shrank back, damn it, damn it..."

After Liu was hit, the city was getting deeper and deeper. At this time, his face was very calm:
"Third brother, don't talk about it, let him pass the past. It's a good thing that Yun Chang is back, and today can't be a disappointment."

Hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes flashed with hesitation, but finally he said truthfully:
"Brother, the situation in the Central Plains has changed drastically. Cao Cao and his heir Cao Ang are dead. His generals and soldiers have suffered numerous casualties. Now the one in charge is a 12-year-old boy named Cao Pi. He fled to Jianghuai with the remaining defeated soldiers..."

"Let me come back is also to use me and let the eldest brother let go of his hatred for them. Although I don't want them to succeed, even Cao Cao was defeated by Li Yao. Now Li Yao has become the most important person in the world. Brother, I really don’t know what to do in the future.”

Liu Bei looked serious, but then he smiled and said:

"How can my hatred for Cao Cao compare to the brotherhood between us? Now that Yun Chang has returned, I only have public hatred for Cao Cao, not personal hatred. I will never forget the harm he did to Qing Xu Shimin. But I will always keep in mind the kindness of their return to Yunchang..."

"Cao Cao is dead, Cao Pi is in power, now in Jiangdong, Bo Fu is dead, Zhongmou is in power, Cao Pi is 12 years old, Zhongmou is 17 years old, they are both young people, I don't know if they can stop the wolf-like Li Yao..."

"We brothers, take it as our duty to help the Han Dynasty, so we must not stay out of it. Even if we are smashed to pieces in the future, we must do our part!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, moved by Liu Bei's brotherhood and impressed by Liu Bei's righteousness, all clasped their hands and responded loudly:

"Wish to follow Big Brother!"
