At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Since Ma Chao and Fazheng led the Western Expeditionary Army left, Guanzhong has completely fallen into peace.

Except for the Central Army, the Northern Army, and the Imperial Guard who are recruiting more troops, there is no movement of any troops.

If it weren't for the continuous migration of Hongnong County, it would seem to have returned to the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that the world still hasn't been able to return to unity, and wars are still breaking out frequently in Hebei, the Central Plains, and near the Yangtze River.

In particular, Hebei is the most tense. Since the end of the year, Cao Jun's elite have continuously crossed the Yellow River and set foot on the land of Hebei.

Now the number of Cao's troops north of the Yellow River has exceeded 200,000, and the mobilization has not yet ended.

Compared with the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Cangting, Cao Cao's weak force has long gone.

More than 400,000 people from both sides, Yuan and Cao, are staring at each other's movements, and the battle concerning the ownership of Hebei is about to break out.

The situation in the direction of Jingzhou is far less peaceful than it was before, especially Liu Bei, who led the South County prefect, and the family headed by Cai Mao in the state pastoral mansion are more frequent.

Zhuge Liang has personally settled in Jiangling, and seems to have a lot of ambitions.

On the Jiangdong side, Sun Quan, who had just won the crown, showed the courage of a peerless hero.

When Sun Ce just passed away, the entire Jiangdong was in turmoil, and one mistake could cause it to fall apart.

Under such circumstances, Sun Quan served Zhang Zhao like a teacher and relied on Zhou Yu like an elder brother.

Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were greatly moved, and they both believed that Sun Quan was not mediocre, but could achieve great things.

With the help of the head of civil servants and the head of military generals, Sun Quan quickly stabilized the forces loyal to the Sun family.

And with the help of a group of civil and military officials, they resolved the catastrophe brought about by Sun Ce's death to Jiangdong one by one.

With the successive destruction of Sun's clan and Li Shu's death in Lujiang, the entire Jiangdong rebellion was basically put down after breaking through the mountains and Vietnam's rebellious army several times.

In the stage of suppressing the rebellion, Sun Quan harvested more than 50,000 soldiers one after another, and his troops expanded rapidly.

Sun Quan connected with the Jiangdong aristocratic families internally, and recruited talents and celebrities abroad. Most of the Jiangdong talents had followers.

This twenty-year-old boy successfully entered the world and became a vassal by relying on his father and brother's foundation.

In Weiyang Palace, after Liu Zhang heard about the situation of the princes from all over the country.

"So, Sun Quan has secured the six counties in Jiangdong?"

After hearing about Jiangdong, Liu Zhang was surprised.

The time it took for Sun Quan to put down the rebellion was somewhat beyond his judgment.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, her tone very positive.

"That's right, Sun Quan not only collected all the six counties, but also claimed to have one hundred thousand armors, and now he is more prestigious than the Yangtze River!"

There was no shock on Jia Xu's face, as if she had expected this result long ago.

"Duke Qin, Sun Quan is not simple. He has won the support of the Jiangdong family, and I am afraid that he will be a strong enemy for us in the future."

The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth turned up, with a sneer on his face.

"Blue-eyed boy, purple-bearded rat! This Sun Quan is completely different from his father and brother."

"Although Sun Jian and Sun Ce are a little reckless, they are heroes of the world."

"Sun Quan is far behind. Young people can only engage in sneak attacks, and don't talk about martial arts at all!"

Jia Xu was a little startled, he didn't expect Sun Quan's reputation in Liu Zhang's heart to be so bad.

"Qin Gongming learned that Sun Quan's behavior is completely different from Sun Ce's."

Not only is it different, it is simply mean and shameless!

Liu Zhang cursed secretly in his heart, Sun Quan is pretending well at the moment and has not shown it at all.

To put it nicely is called opportunism, and to have both ways, but to say badly is nothing but foolishness!

You can change the direction by blowing on it with your mouth!

"I heard that Sun Quan has a younger sister..."

Jia Xu and Xun You looked at each other at the same time, with strange expressions in their eyes.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang, who has always put the great cause first, now also has the idea of ​​a woman!

But this is also a good thing, Jia Xu and Xun Yu often worry about Liu Zhang's harem affairs.

"Duke Qin is now the king of the country, it's time to enrich the harem!"

"However, the old minister suggested that we still choose the daughters of the aristocratic families, especially the Guanzhong aristocratic families."

"As for the Jiangdong Sun family, Duke Qin, please be more careful."

Unless Liu Zhang became emperor, the higher his status, the more he should pay attention to the status of the woman beside him.

Now in the harem, apart from Cai Yan who is purely emotional, Liu Yun and Wu Cheng are more or less background-colored.

Liu Zhang smiled and waved his hand. He just thought of mentioning it casually, and there was no other meaning.

Not only Jia Xu and Xun You paid attention to filling the harem, but even Liu Yun, Cai Yan and others often mentioned it to Liu Zhang.

Recently, both Liu Yun and Cai Yan have been thinking of finding some offspring of the Guanzhong family for Liu Zhang, hoping to help Liu Zhang further stabilize Guanzhong through marriage.

Liu Zhang naturally did not refuse, and let them look for it.

Ancient women are good, not only do not stop, but also take the initiative to recruit at home!

Before Liu Zhang was busy with the war, he didn't care about women's affairs.

Now that I finally get some free time, I naturally want to enjoy the fruits of thirty years of hard work!

But this matter is not urgent. Liu Zhang's family has a lovely wife, and he is far from eager for this matter.

The changes in the world situation are still his most concerned focus.

"Wenhe, let's talk about this later!"

"How is Hebei? Is there a fight?"

Although it is not good for Liu Zhang to go to war with Yuan Cao in Hebei, once a battle breaks out, it will not be able to stop for a while.

Only when fierce fighting breaks out in Hebei, can Guanzhong truly rest easy.

In short, before the Northern Army, the Central Army and the Imperial Guards are formed, Liu Zhang does not want any war to spread to Guanzhong, even if it is near Guanzhong!

For Liu Zhang's expectation, Jia Xu could only shake his head helplessly.

"Duke Qin, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao seem to be trying their best to restrain themselves. The specific reason is still unknown."

Jia Xu and Xun You discussed this issue, and there is a conclusion, but there is no real evidence.

Both believed that Yuan Shao exercised restraint because he had experienced two consecutive defeats and did not dare to start a war easily.

As for the reason why Cao Cao didn't do anything, the two thought it was relatively simple. The Central Plains was still sending troops to Hebei.

Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses are far from Cao Cao's limit.

In this war, Cao Cao should have the ambition to win Hebei with all his might.

Jia Xu and Xun You didn't know, but Liu Zhang seemed to know something.

"Hehe, it seems that Yuan Benchu ​​is not stupid enough to know what to choose!"

"But to Yuan Shao, it really doesn't matter what happens to Yuan Xi..."

Liu Zhang smiled wickedly and whispered to himself, which made Jia Xu and Xu very confused.

"Duke Qin, what happened to Yuan Shao?"

"It's nothing, there should be news soon!"

Liu Zhang is not so stupid as to say it now, otherwise, let Jia Xu and Xun You know that they are greedy for other people's daughter-in-law, what should they think of him?

What's more, whether Yuan Shao can agree or not is still a matter of opinion. If everyone knows it and it doesn't work out in the end, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous!

Just at this time, a soldier walked in from outside the hall, which brought Liu Zhang a pleasant surprise.

"Report to Duke Qin that Guo Tu, the envoy of the Hebei General's Mansion, has arrived at the East Gate of Chang'an."
