"Wen He, the focus of the Han Dynasty is not just in Guanzhong, right?"
Liu Zhang looked at Jia Xu with a half-smile but not a smile. He knew that many major events happened in 192, and it was definitely not just the chaos in Guanzhong.
"My lord is wise!"
Jia Xu smiled and nodded, and directly told the story about Dong Zhuo.
"There is a piece of news that my lord may be interested in."
Liu Zhang did not interrupt and kept waiting quietly for Jia Xu's next words.
"My lord, Sun Jian is dead. He died at the hands of Liu Biao!"
Except for Liu Zhang, the other civil and military officials in the room did not seem to be very interested in the news, and were far less surprised than Dong Zhuo's death.
There are even many civil and military officials who do not know Sun Jian at all, and have never even heard of his name.
However, Liu Zhang still showed some regrets. Sun Jian was definitely a general who was good at conquering and fighting, and he was very loyal to the Han Dynasty.
It is a pity that Sun Jian followed the wrong master. If he had not intervened in the fight between the two Yuans, he would not have attacked Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and naturally he would not have been ambushed by Huang Zu and died from an arrow.
After hearing Jia Xu's detailed explanation of the cause of Sun Jian's death, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect that Sun Wentai, known as the Tiger of Jiangdong, would end up like this!"
Sun Jian was killed by an arrow, and so was Sun Ce. Even Zhou Yu, the first governor of Jiangdong, still died indirectly from an arrow wound!
It seems that people from Jiangdong are good at archery, and most of them will die from random arrows!
"My lord, Sun Jian's character has already determined his ending."
"Sun Jian is brave and invincible. He must take the lead in every battle! Nowadays, in troubled times, as a master, you cannot make decisions based on force alone. Sun Jian was light and unprepared, and did not take Liu Biao and others seriously, which is why he ended up like this. .”
Jia Xu looked at Liu Zhang seriously. He seemed to be analyzing Sun Jian, but in fact he was hinting at Liu Zhang.
As the power of the Liu Zhang Group continues to grow, as the most important figure in the entire group, Liu Zhang's safety becomes more and more important!
Liu Zhang must avoid acting impulsively, let alone attack the enemy with a sword at every turn.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. This is the eternal truth!
"Wen He, where is Cao Cao? Is he still serving as the governor of Dongjun?"
Liu Zhang didn't understand Jia Xu's intention, so he quickly changed the subject.
Jia Xu felt quite helpless and could only remind Liu Zhang more in the future.
"My Lord, Cao Mengde has taken charge of Yanzhou and has now taken over the position of Yanzhou Shepherd."
Liu Zhang was immediately depressed. He, the Yizhou Mu, had not yet completely pacified Yizhou. He did not expect that Cao Cao had already pacified Yanzhou.
"This Cao Mengde is really not simple, he will definitely be our enemy in the future!"
Jia Xu quite agrees with Liu Zhang's evaluation.
"It is exactly what my lord said! A million-strong Yellow Turban army from Qingzhou invaded Yanzhou and killed Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou. In this case, Cao Cao joined forces with Bao Xin and the Yellow Turban Army to fight in Shouzhang. Even Bao Xin was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army. cut!"
"Under this extremely unfavorable situation, Cao Cao still did not give up. He took the lead and inspired the soldiers. After fierce fighting day and night, he finally drove the Yellow Turban Army out of Shouzhang."
"Then Cao Cao decisively led his army to pursue and completely defeated the Yellow Turban Army in the Jibei area. After this battle, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were completely pacified. As a result, Cao Cao received more than 300,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and a population of more than one million! Cao Cao sent these elite soldiers down After selecting them, we got an extremely powerful army and were given the title Qingzhou Soldiers!"
Liu Zhang knew very well that the appearance of the Qingzhou soldiers meant that Cao Cao had officially entered the stage of troubled times. It was also from the Qingzhou soldiers that Cao Cao officially began to fight for hegemony in the world!
"I didn't expect that when I tried my best to conquer the four counties, Cao Cao had already pacified Yanzhou and defeated millions of people!"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but wonder if Cao Cao would have wiped out Zhang Lu, Jia Long and others faster and faster if he had been in his position.
"My Lord, there is no need to be like this. The terrain of Yizhou is completely different from that of Yanzhou, not to mention that all the Yanzhou families are on Cao Cao's side. If Cao Cao cannot win despite such favorable conditions, then he is really a mediocre person!"
"hehe.."
Liu Zhang smiled softly, knowing that Jia Xu was comforting him.
But the courage to face millions of Yellow Turbans is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear!
Liu Zhang was naturally aware of Cao Cao's power. He asked himself that if he were in Cao Cao's position, he might not be able to do better than Cao Cao.
Moreover, Liu Zhang didn't mind that Cao Cao was stronger than him. He had powerful enemies so that he could be constantly vigilant.
"Wenhe, how is Er Yuan?"
Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the protagonists in the world today are not Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, nor Liu Zhang who is still struggling in Yizhou.
The real protagonists are the Yuan brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
If the Yuan brothers can work together, this Han dynasty will definitely belong to them. Except for Yizhou, Liangzhou and Guanzhong, all the states and counties in the world will be occupied by their brothers.
It's a pity that the Yuan brothers can't see this clearly, and both sides even want to kill each other!
"My lord, Yuan Shu is still in Nanyang, but he has imposed brutal levies and forcibly recruited troops, and the people of Nanyang have long been complaining. Since Sun Jian died in battle, Liu Biao of Jingzhou has been keeping an eye on Nanyang and has never given up his intention to drive Yuan Shu out of Nanyang."
Yuan Shu, withered bones in the tomb!
Nanyang, the capital city with a population of one million, was devastated by him. From this, you can guess his ending.
"He is indeed a tough guy on the road! With his presence, not only Nanyang County, but probably the entire Yuzhou and Yangzhou will not be able to escape his clutches!"
There is nothing about Yuan Shu that deserves Liu Zhang's attention. Yuan Shu, who holds the jade seal in his hand, will proclaim himself emperor sooner or later. Proclaiming himself emperor is also the beginning of Yuan Shu's demise.
"My lord, although Yuan Shu occupies the main resources of the Yuan family, it is difficult for him to achieve great things. He is jealous of talents and talents, and changes his orders day by day. People with insight will retreat one after another. Destruction will be the outcome sooner or later!"
Jia Xu's inferences about Yuan Shu are not endless. Now that Yuan Shu was at his peak, he had foreseen the outcome of his defeat, which really impressed Liu Zhang.
However, other civil servants in the room seemed to have doubts in their eyes, especially the civil servants.
As members of the aristocratic family, they naturally know the status of the Runan Yuan family in today's world.
As the direct son of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu controlled resources that were unrivaled by anyone in the world. How could he be defeated sooner or later as Jia Xu said?
Liu Zhang also understood their thoughts very well. If he were not familiar with history, Liu Zhang would not agree with what Jia Xu said.
But these are not important anymore. Yuan Shu has been defeated in the past few years, and he has no chance to become Liu Zhang's enemy.
"Wen He, where is Yuan Benchu? Has he occupied Jizhou?"
Jia Xu looked surprised. These information were his exclusive resources. He didn't expect Liu Zhang to know about it too!
"What my lord said is true. Han Fu, under the persuasion of his advisers, took the initiative to give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao."
