Three Kingdoms

Summer has arrived inadvertently. As the temperature rises, everything seems to have increased the coefficient of Brownian motion. It is almost the end of summer. In just three or four months, the entire Central Plains is almost They all fell into huge chaos and chaos.

To the north, Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan and pushed it all the way to the city of Yijing. After several attempts to attack the city to no avail, they reached a stalemate. Yuan Shao was absolutely reluctant to lose the victory he was about to win, so he gritted his teeth and persisted, while Gongsun Zan was fighting all the way. Being suppressed and beaten, if Yi Jing hadn't been running Yi Jing City for a long time, he might have been unable to resist, let alone fight back.

But everyone knows that this stalemate will not last long. After all, Gongsun Zan only has one city. As the saying goes, a lonely city is difficult to defend, and its fall is only a matter of time. Of course, if Gongsun Zan can delay it until this winter, when the winter snowflakes begin to fall, At that time, Yuan Shao in the wild would definitely be in trouble, just like Stalingrad in later generations, but the possibility of this is not high.

In the south, Yuan Shu went smoothly in the south of the Yangtze River and captured the entire territory of Yangzhou. Perhaps because he defied Sun Ce twice, Yuan Shu did not object when Sun Ce asked to attack Jiangdong.

Perhaps Yuan Shu felt that it was impossible to develop in the complex situation of Jiangdong nobles and powerful rightists with just the few troops Sun Ce had on hand. In the end, he needed to return to seek help from Yuan Shu himself, so Yuan Shu seemed to be generous, but Yuan Shu Unexpectedly, I don’t know whether these guys in Jiangdong are too crispy or whether Sun Ce is too powerful. Sun Ce was so powerful in Jiangdong, and he also appointed himself many official positions and paid tribute to the central court. The independent flavor in this was as strong as substance. , Yuan Shu was furious, and mobilized his troops to prepare to let Sun Ce know who was the real father.

As for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, we have to talk about Lu Bu and Liu Xie.

This summer, the central court in the Heluo region also fell into chaos.

The combination of Lu Bu and Chen Gong still failed to plug the large and small loopholes in Luoyang City like a sieve. First, Yang Biao saw that Fei Qian seemed to have no intention of sending troops, so he tentatively raised troops and declared that Lu Bu's kidnapping of the emperor was an act of treason. Lu Bu and Chen Gong quickly mobilized their troops to prepare to attack Yang Biao.

It was originally expected that Yang Biao would not be able to defeat Lu Bu, but Cao Cao took advantage of the fact that most of Lu Bu's soldiers and attention in Chen Palace were in the Hongnong area in the west, colluded with both internal and external forces, and actually broke into Luoyang City, kidnapped Liu Xie and ran away.

After receiving the information, Lu Bu hurriedly returned to the army, but it was already too late. Lu Bu, who was eager to pursue, was ambushed by Cao's army and lost most of his cavalry troops. Chen Gong, who stayed behind in Hongnong territory, led his infantry, although he was on guard. He was pursued by Yang Biao, but the morale of the army was weakened. Even though there was no major defeat, many soldiers sneaked away and his strength was greatly damaged. After the two combined, Lu Bu could only huddle in Luoyang now. In the city, lick your wounds.

A series of changes in Heluo were completed in just a few days. When the news reached Pingyang, Fei Qian was still considering whether to take the opportunity to recruit Yang Biao. When he was discussing how to make it better, Lu Bu had already The defeat really made Fei Qian sigh...

However, although seeing Lu Bu's defeat, Yang Biao in Hongnong also wanted to fight back to Luoyang, but he was worried about his future, and the emperor also ran away. Even if he captured Luoyang at all costs, most of the meaning was lost, so he was a little embarrassed. He stopped in Hongnong, seeming to be confused about his next goal and direction.

Compared to the unlucky Lu Bu, Liu Bei seemed to have had a good time, and the envoy who went to pay tribute to Liu Xie was happily accepted. Not only that, in order to win over Liu Bei, Liu Xie even had people search for the so-called genealogy, and then found Liu Bei's name...

Ahem, but it's not Uncle Liu Huang. It's a matter of seniority. How can it be as vague as Mr. Luo? If we look at the real seniority, Liu Bei calling Liu Xie his uncle might not be right, so it just confirms that Liu Bei is indeed a relative of the emperor.

But this is already very good, after Prince Jing of Zhongshan...

hehe.

When he heard the news, Fei Qian shook his head helplessly and smiled.

Prince Jing of Zhongshan is the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Liu Qi, and the half-brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che. It is true that he is of Han royal blood, but the problem is that this is the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Even if it is a different bloodline starting from Emperor Guangwu, don't you think there are two in the Ancestral Temple? So when Liu Bei claimed that he was Queen Jing of Zhongshan, it was just like later generations claiming that they were the Yellow Belt Beile Beizi of the Braid Dynasty during the Republic of China...

Compared with Liu Bei's gains, the biggest winner during this period was none other than Cao Cao. He suddenly became so successful that he could even shake when he walked...

Cao Cao welcomed Liu Xie and was immediately named Sili Xiaowei, in charge of the affairs of the Shangshu. All the officials, relatives and friends around him were able to ascend to heaven.

As for Liu Xie, he seemed to think that the new environment was good. After all, the surrounding Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others quickly sent envoys to pay tribute. Liu Xie seemed to have found a bit of the emperor's taste, and happily issued an edict to acknowledge his bloodline and encourage him to be granted a title.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether Liu Biao and Liu Bei, who are bordering Cao Cao, will obey the instructions of the newly relocated imperial court...

As for the specific distribution of power in the court, and whether Cao Cao can become the successor of the Ten Constant Attendants, everything is still unknown.

This series of dazzling changes seems to be one news after another, one event after another, like cicadas on the summer tree, noisy.

However, as autumn is approaching, these noisy cicadas will not be able to stay around for long.

Of course, Fei Qian was not idle. Huang Yueying was pregnant, so she naturally wanted to stay in Pingyang to have the baby. Fei Qian himself rushed to Sanfu and took up residence in Guanzhong. After all, the focus of the next business operation will slowly shift to Guanzhong, and it will be impossible not to make arrangements early.

As the dust settled on the first major exam of Moriyama Academy, three people stood out. The leader was naturally Liu Shao. An article about how to select materials for narratives caused an uproar. Some people criticized Liu Shao for his apostasy, while others thought it was shocking. There were people from both groups and they argued endlessly.

Fei Qian did not express his position immediately, but simply left Liu Shao in Shoushan Academy to preside over the so-called "selection of talents" debate. Anyway, the theory is not clear, and in this way, the wave of thinking about selection of talents will become more and more expanded... …

The second place in the Shoushan Academy Competition was from the Pei family of Wenxi, named Pei Hui, and the other person was named Wang Xiang, who was from Hanoi. Fei Qian brought these two people to Guanzhong for conferment, which was considered a supplement. Recruit administrative staff to relieve Pang Tong and others from some of the pressure on affairs.

In terms of generals, during this period of time, two new generals were added to Guanzhong. Of course, they are not peerless generals. One is Wang Zhong, who surrendered some time ago, and the other is Liu Xiong. Oh, you guessed it, he is the popular-faced elite monster that first appears in many Three Kingdoms games...

Don't underestimate the elite monsters. These are all very important. Besides, without these elite monsters, how can players upgrade? Isn't it possible to push the BOSS from the beginning?

Now, Zao Zhi and his people were patrolling around Sanfu, checking the situation of Zhuang He in the fields. They were very busy, but Fei Qian was free and waiting for the autumn harvest.

As Fei Qian expected, Zao Zhi's arrival was welcomed by everyone in Sanfu. Not only the nobles in Guanzhong, but also the farmers and tenants in the fields were very enthusiastic about Zao Zhi and praised him, which made Fei Qian also After getting some glory, at least now the heroes of the Guanzhong gentry basically stopped chattering behind their backs, for fear that after hating Zao Zhi, their own Zhuang He's harvest would be three points less than others.

Chang'an City, the lobby of the three mansions.

Fei Qian was currently sitting in the lobby, chatting with Pang Tong and Xu Shu, chatting nonsense while discussing the next plan and strategy.

Jia Xu went to You Fufeng, mainly to cooperate with Li Ru's movements. The tactics were nothing more than luring the enemy and ambushing. It seems very simple to say, but the difference between using it well and using it poorly is often the difference between cloud and mud. Don't.

"There have been a lot more talents recently, and various companies are constantly recruiting..." Pang Tong drank a bowl of herbal tea, but he still felt a little hot, so he couldn't help but pull open the robe on his chest, exposing some of his clothes unscrupulously. Pai Gu came out and said lazily, "Why does it feel like all the respectable guys suddenly appeared?"

Because the three of them might talk about some confidential topics, they all kept the attendants away from each other, so no one pulled the fan, which inevitably made it a bit hotter.

"Well, that's the case. I heard that the Chen family and the Zhong family from Yingchuan went to the east of Caoping, the Zheng family from Xingyang, and the Pei Guohuan family followed Yuan Er, and a bunch of people from the north probably followed Yuan Da..." Xu Shuca I wiped the sweat from my forehead. It has been autumn for the past two days and it has been really hot.

Fei Qian sighed softly, picked up the herbal tea and said, "Speaking of this, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing for these people to show their faces now?"

Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, lay down completely, and stopped talking.

Xu Shu thought about it for a moment and said, "It's a mixture of good and bad, right?"

Pang Tong continued half of the sentence dullly: "There are mostly disadvantages..."

Xu Shu was silent for a while, then sighed and stopped talking. Although Xu Shu and Pang Tong generally knew that the Han Dynasty was in deep trouble, they still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw the current situation.

Xu Shu took the folding fan from the table, opened it with a bang, and used the folding fan to fan the wind. The breeze moved his beard, and his face was a little solemn.

Speaking of folding fans, Fei Qian inadvertently promoted and became popular a gadget with low value and an extremely scary price tag. It was simply another golden way to make money.

How much does bamboo cost? Although the snowflake paper used as the fan is more expensive, after all, there is a workshop, and with a little paint and a little labor, the total cost is not much. When it comes out, it is simply crazy.

Fei Qian didn't expect such a good effect, and couldn't help but secretly regret why he didn't think of it earlier. In fact, Feiqian had a different idea. If it had been launched earlier, I am afraid it might not have the current effect. Firstly, Feiqian now has a large territory, and the purchasing power of the population base will naturally be large. Secondly, in its own territory, imitation is definitely possible. It's impossible to avoid it, but only Fei Qian's family dares to sell it directly on the market. The rest are just for their own use or for communication with each other, so the sole business is full of fat.

Fei Qian also named the folding fan with bamboo and wood bones as "Fenglin", and the one with copper and iron bones as "Fuyao", corresponding to the two series of civil and military, and also made many patterns, such as paintings and hollows. Yes, they are carved, and they add a lot of cultural atmosphere. Even the children of the small gentry have to be willing to dig out their pockets when faced with the invasion of the cultural wave. At least they have to show that they are both civil and military, right?

Even the non-commissioned officers in the military almost always have a handful of them, and if they are made of copper or iron, they can also be used as short weapons, making them a must-have for home and travel...

The trend of folding fans came suddenly, just like the changes in the Central Plains came suddenly. Before Fei Qian could fully react, the overall pattern seemed to have changed.

"More people will come out next..." Fei Qian said, "The gambling game has just begun. The first wave may just be to try your luck..."

"Who do you think will win in the Central Plains?" Fei Qian smiled and asked a question.

Pang Tong sat up again with a "huh", pulled a cushion and put it behind him, and said: "This question is somewhat interesting... Let me start first... um..."

The Central Plains War seems to be about to break out, but for the people involved, it is often not very clear. The so-called being in Lushan Mountain, it is difficult to see the full view of Lushan Mountain. Only those like Fei Qian who have some memory of later generations, or It is people with extraordinary intelligence such as Pang Tong and Xu Shu who can jump out of the cumbersome things in front of them and look at problems from a higher level.

"Mr. Yang does have some foundation..." The weather was hot, and they were all acquaintances. Pang Tong didn't show any pretense. Instead, he opened his arms, leaning forward like a second-rate man, and said in a long tone, " ... Just by tossing like this, you can still pull out a lot of soldiers, haha... It's just a dying struggle, and it won't last long..."

"Yes, the Hongnong Yang family has lost its foundation now, but it is just at the end of the war. Most of the soldiers are newly recruited. In fact, they are just civilians with gun heads. They seem to be a few in number, but in fact they are not comparable. It's nothing to worry about..." Xu Shu added at the side.

"Cao Pingdong..." Pang Tong raised his eyes and glanced at Fei Qian, and then continued to speak slowly, "Although His Majesty is now located in Yanzhou, it still depends on how Cao Pingdong arranges the relationship with Yuan Da...and Yanzhou is the fourth battle Land, if you are not careful, everything will be lost..."

Xu Shu continued: "Although Cao Pingdong has welcomed His Majesty, the people above the court...are not easy to get along with...it is inevitably a hidden danger..."

Pang Tong curled his lips and said, "Cao Pingdong is also very anxious. News came two days ago that he has dedicated his daughter to His Majesty... How anxious is this..."

Fei Qian knocked on his forehead. There was a historical marriage between Cao Cao's daughter and Han Emperor Liu Xie. He also knew this, but was it at this point in time? It doesn’t seem like it?

No matter, after all, there are more important things to discuss at the moment...
