Chapter 1037 The battle situation of ten states


    Chapter 1035: The battle situation of ten states


    Most people in Kanto believe that as long as Dong Zhuo dies, it will bring peace, but the result is just the opposite. Dong Zhuo''s death will not only not bring peace, but will instead open up a more terrifying chaotic world, and peace is destined to become an extremely luxurious word.


    The princes are naturally not as superficial as the people. They have been slandering Dong Zhuo who was alive before, but now they tacitly stop slandering. After all, the dead Dong Zhuo no longer poses a threat.


    Of course, it is absolutely impossible to help Dong Zhuo whitewash, otherwise wouldn’t the princes slap themselves in the face?


    Jizhou, Bohai Sea.


    "Report to the lord, the exact information came from Sizhou, and Dong Zhuo is dead." Yuan Tiangang reported in a deep voice.


    "What? Dong Zhuo is dead?"


    After learning that Dong Zhuo was dead, Yuan Shao stood up from his seat excitedly and laughed, "Die well, die well."


    As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shao ran out of the hall again, knelt down in the direction of Chang''an, and shouted, "Dad, I am incompetent, I cannot kill Dong Zhe himself to avenge you..."


    After venting, Yuan Shao felt much more uncomfortable, and then he said to Yuan Tiangang who followed him, "How is the situation in Yecheng?"


    "Reported to the lord, Han Fu is very talented, short-sighted, and nepotism, and it is difficult to make the heroes of Jizhou full of talents. This has caused dissatisfaction among many people, and has easily attracted many important officials in Jizhou."


    After hearing Yuan Tiangang''s words, a trace of coldness flashed in Yuan Shao''s eyes and he asked with a sneer: "If our army starts a war with Han Fu, will these people have the courage to turn against each other?"


    "this…"


    Yuan Tiangang was stunned, thought for a moment and replied, "If the battle goes well, there will definitely be many people responding to our army. If it is not going well, I''m afraid..."


    “What was expected…”


    Yuan Shao seemed to be a little bit and continued to sneer: "The next thing is to focus on the generals who hold military power, such as Qu Yi, Zhang He, and Han Meng.


    If they can turn against each other, even if Han Xin really has the ability of Huaiyin, he will still be unable to defend Jizhou if he is alone. ”


    Yuan Tiangang pondered for a while before speaking out: "Lord, my subordinates think that the focus should be placed on the civil servants."


    "Oh? Tell me."


    "Han Fu is a timid man and is afraid of things and is concerned about things. He still has luck and wants to negotiate with our army. However, after listening to the words of Han Xin and Ju Su and other pro-war factions, he regards our army as the primary enemy of life and death.


    If the lord can win the hearts of most civil officials in Jizhou, with these civil officials in Jizhou to persuade Han Fu, it will not only shake Han Fu''s determination, but also make him unstable internally. If he is going to gain the upper hand on the battlefield, he may be able to force Han Fu to surrender directly. ”


    Yuan Shao nodded unconsciously and asked, "Is there any?"


    "Han Fu is indeed weak and incompetent, and has no talent for a wise ruler, but his son Han Xin is majestic and deeply loved by the generals of Jizhou. As long as Han Fu does not do stupid things that destroy the city wall, the possibility of successfully winning over the generals of Jizhou will probably be very small."


    “It makes sense…”


    Yuan Shao frowned and thought for a long time and said, "Since that''s the case, just do what Tiangang wants, but you can''t relax the appeal of Jizhou generals. Although the possibility of success is not high, what if it really happens?"


    "I understand." Yuan Tiangang said seriously. "We don''t have much time left for us, so we must be fast and keep it confidential."


    The situation Yuan Shao is facing is not optimistic now. Liu Che from Youzhou in the north will completely defeat Liu He, Huang Chao from the east will soon become the overlord of Qingzhou, and Qin Wen, the old prince in the west.


    Therefore, if Yuan Shao cannot unify Jizhou as soon as possible, it will be difficult to develop if he faces three-way attacks.


    It is not that easy to unify Jizhou. After all, Jizhou not only has three princes, Han, Chen and Zhang, but also the Can Ming of Taihang is also ready to move.


    Yuan Shao actually thought about developing in Qingzhou for the time being, and when his strength grew, he would turn his guns to attack Jizhou, but the situation in Qingzhou was even more chaotic than Jizhou.


    Although Yuan Shao is the governor of Qingzhou, his main territory is in Jizhou. His power in Qingzhou is not the strongest. He does not have the strength to directly unify Qingzhou. Once too much power is drawn from Jizhou, Jizhou''s territory will be unstable at that time.


    After weighing the pros and cons, Yuan Shao finally decided on the strategy of first Jizhou and then Qingzhou. After all, although Qingzhou and Jizhou are not easy to fight, Han Fu is the only prince that Yuan Shao can defeat in a short period of time.


    First of all, Han Fu himself was an old official from the Yuan family, and most of the officials under his command were also from the Yuan family. Once Yuan Shao won, he would not even have to digest it and could directly accept his subordinates'' strength.


    Secondly, in Yuan Shao''s opinion, Han Fu was too cowardly and had no priesthood at all. If Han Fu had not had a good son to help him, he would not even be qualified to compete with him.


    Therefore, even among all the princes who lived in Qingji and Ji, Han Fu ranked second in strength, second only to Yuan Shao, who was the strongest, Yuan Shao still regarded Han Fu as a soft persimmon.


    As long as Han Fu''s power is annexed, Yuan Shao will naturally be just around the corner. If it operates properly in the future, it will not be impossible even if it dominates Hebei!


    Yuan Shao was busy dealing with Han Fu, and the other princes were not idle either.


    Liu Xiu''s attack on Jingnan was not smooth. After all, he had only a little force, and after Zhang Xian lost several consecutive battles, he naturally did not dare to leave the city.


    Faced with the enemy who was huddled in the city and refused to come out, even if Liu Xiuzhi had a lot of tricks, there was no other way except for a strong attack.


    Liu Xiu will definitely not consume his limited troops on the endless attack, so Jingnan''s offensive naturally ended.


    After Liu Che returned to Youzhou, although he quickly gained the upper hand in the battle with Liu He, while Liu He was preparing to surrender, although Gongsun Zan did not form an alliance with Liu He, he secretly provided various support to Liu He.


    Yangzhou, Sun Jian''s attack on Wang Lang had no power to fight back. It was only a matter of time before and after completely occupying Kuaiji, which also aroused the fear of Liu Yao and Lu Kang. The two families may join forces to fight Sun soon.


    Huang Chao in Qingzhou attacked Kong Rong, Beihai. Kong Rong was no match for him and led Liu Bei as a foreign aid. The two forces jointly fought against Huang Chao.


    Xuzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang is attacking Tao Qian;


    In Yuzhou, Yuan Shu is attacking Li Mi;


    Bingzhou, the Jin army fought against Yuan Meng;


    In Yanzhou, Cao Cao was also confronting the princes, and a decisive battle was about to break out;


    Sili, Qin Hao resisted the coalition forces of the Southern Princes and Liang Army alone.


    The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, except for Liang, Jiao and Yi, there were no wars in the remaining ten prefectures, and the peace in Yizhou could not last long.
