Since Dong Zhuo came to power, the Yuan family was attacked several times by Dong Zhuo, and the patriarch Yuan Feng was pulled down from the position of Sikong and left Runan. Because Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu couldn't bear Dong Zhuo's bullying, they frequently confronted him. Later, things got out of control, and both sides fled Luoyang at the same time.

Yuan Shu went south, headed for Jingzhou, and went straight to Nanyang County. Yuan Shao crossed the Yellow River to Jizhou and went straight to Bohai County.

The current Luoyang has long lost the status of the Yuan family, and only Yuan Kui is left struggling to support him, constantly fighting for the final interests of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's escape was premeditated, and the direction of their escape was chosen after Yuan's careful consideration.

Nanyang County, the land of Guangwu Zhongxing, the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a population of more than 2.4 million!

Even if you only occupy Nanyang County, you can get an army of 300,000 if you are aggressive! If the development is stable, Nanyang County can easily support an army of 100,000.

Nanyang County not only has a large population, but also has extremely well-developed agricultural, commercial, industrial and commercial industries. It has the title of Southern Capital and Emperor Township!

Runan County, the second largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a population of over 2.1 million! The agriculture here is extremely developed. It borders Jingzhou to the west and Huainan to the east. It is a real inland plain!

Not only Runan County has a large population, but the entire Yuzhou has a very large population. In addition to Runan County, there are three other large counties with a population of over one million! The entire Yuzhou has a population of more than seven million!

Runan County has a superior geographical location. If deployed properly, occupying Runan can gradually occupy the entire Yuzhou!

Why did Liu Hong hand-pick Yuzhou to set up a state shepherd while Youzhou and Yizhou rebelled? It's because Yuzhou is too involved! Not only because of the dense population, but also because Yuzhou is a big grain-producing state! Once something goes wrong in Yuzhou, the rebels want people and food!

Bohai County is located on the edge of the Bohai Sea, in the northern part of Jizhou. If Yuan Shao hadn't gone to the Bohai Sea, this county would have been unknown! In Jizhou, Wei County, Julu County, and Changshan County are all more famous than Bohai County.

Wei County will be the capital of Cao Cao in the future. Zhangjiao Rebellion occurred in Julu, and Changshan County is also known in later generations because of Zhao Yun's saying "I am Zhao Zilong in Changshan".

Unfortunately, these three counties are not the most densely populated in Jizhou, but Bohai County is! Bohai County is the only large county in Jizhou with a population of over one million!

If you compare Bohai County with Nanyang County and Runan County, then the former and the latter two are just like clouds and mud, and they are not comparable at all! But if you take Bohai County alone and look north of the Yellow River, you can immediately show the detached status of Bohai County!

With a population of over one million, Bohai County is the most populous county in the three states of Hebei. As a strategic location, it connects Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou. If you control Bohai County, you can directly send troops out of the three states!

The arrangement of the Yuan family can be described as endless! Needless to say, Runan County was the old nest of the Yuan family, and now Yuan Feng went back to sit in the town himself, so he would definitely be able to control Runan County and even the entire Yuzhou powerfully.

Nanyang County, the accompanying capital that the Yuan family has experienced many hardships, will naturally be able to take over Nanyang County smoothly when Yuan Shu arrives. In the end, Bohai County, which occupies an absolute geographical advantage in the north of the Yellow River, was handed over to Yuan Shao.

Yuan's family members are all over the world, but they also have their own focus. In the land of Hebei, Bohai County is the county where Yuan's concentrated development.

Thanks to the secret operations of the Yuan family, the Yuan family alone has already occupied the extremely powerful three counties, with a population of more than five million! This has not counted indirect, or the states and counties controlled by the former officials of Yuan's disciples.

However, from the distribution of these states and counties, we can also see some clues about the internal personnel of the Yuan family. After all, Yuan Shu, the eldest son, is more valued, and Nanyang, the largest county in the world, was given to him!

According to Yuan's plan, as long as Yuan Shu can manage Nanyang safely and enter Yuzhou westward in the future, then Yingchuan County, Chen County, Qiao County and even the whole Yuzhou will be handed over to Yuan Shu!

This is also the reason why Yuan Shu was able to easily occupy Yuzhou after the chaos in Nanyang in history. Even though he was defeated by Cao Cao several times, Yuan Shu can still firmly occupy Runan County, Huainan and other places, all thanks to the road paved by Yuan's in advance!

However, the Yuan family did not give up on Yuan Shao. On the contrary, they had already given him all the resources except Yuan Shu. The land of Hebei was allowed to be used by Yuan Shao. This is what Yuan Shao was promised by Yuan Wei before his departure.

Yuan Shao was very fortunate to be able to get these, his status as a concubine has been bothering him to death! Even after adopting Yuan Cheng as the eldest son, his status is far inferior to Yuan Shu.

But Yuan Shao has a natural advantage, he is handsome and majestic! He can get the attention of Yuan Wei and He Jin, and his appearance accounts for most of it! Moreover, Yuan Shao's talent and learning were far superior to Yuan Shu's, which was something Yuan Feng and Yuan Kai tacitly understood.

After Yuan Shao was stationed in Bohai County, he went straight to Nanpi County, the government office. With the help of Yuan's family, he completely controlled the whole Bohai County in a short period of time.

Yuan Shao recruited troops in Nanpi and recruited heroes and heroes. All of a sudden, talented people from Hebei joined Yuan Shao. In just over a month, Yuan Shao was no longer alone, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, including generals Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Han Meng, and Chun Yuqiong! The advisers under the account also have their own strengths, not only Xu You who followed from Luoyang, but also famous scholars from Hebei, Feng Ji, and Guo Tu successively joined him.

Nanpi County, Sheriff's Mansion.

Yuan Shao sat on the main seat, and the aura exuded from his whole body was astonishing!

In half a year, Yuan Shao had undergone earth-shaking changes, and he finally understood what the loyalty of Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo was!

Soldiers! In just half a year, more than 30,000 troops were recruited!

Even if he hasn't reached the level of fierce generals like clouds and counselors like rain, there are countless capable people!

"Everyone, according to the latest news from Luoyang, Dong Zhuo has proclaimed himself Prime Minister, and has given him the privilege of entering the court and walking on the sword!"

As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, Xu You took the initiative to stand up.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo's name is the chancellor of the Han, and he is actually a traitor of the Han! Since he took control of the government, he has slaughtered Zhongliang every day, and raped the harem every night! He has already caused anger and resentment. As long as the lord raises his arms and shouts, all the heroes in the world will rush to respond first! "

Feng Ji Guo Tu was afraid that Xu You would take the lead, so he made the first contribution, and he also stood up to offer advice.

"My lord, today the world is in turmoil. Dong Zhuo deposes the elders and establishes the young, and rampages the government and the people. The people with lofty ideals in Luoyang have already endured to the limit! I believe that as long as the lord sends out a call for thieves, they will definitely rush to take effect!"

"That's right! I heard that Cao Mengde has sold his property in Dongjun, and he is now recruiting troops! Qiaomao in Yanzhou and Yuan Shu in Nanyang are also fighting hard! Now all the heroes in the world are not united, only because there is a lack of a leader! And this person is absolutely extraordinary. The lord must belong!"

Yuan Shao has a very good face, and he likes to hear compliments from others the most. After the compliments from the three counselors, he immediately felt elated, and his determination to raise troops to challenge Dong was quite firm. But right now there is a huge problem waiting for Yuan Shao!

"I totally agree with what the three gentlemen said! But at this moment, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, sent many people to Bohai County to supervise. Obviously, he was ordered by Dong Zhuo. Han Fu supplies all the food and grass in our Bohai County. When we arrive at Luoyang, we may run out of food!"

Yuan Shao was very worried. He clearly had the soldiers in his hands, but he was still under the control of others!
