After Zhang Yu was kidnapped by Fu Xiong and brought into Guanzhong, Fu Jian treated him quite well and made him Sikong, governor of Yuzhou, and general of the Eastern Conquest.
But just two months later, Zhang Yu felt something was wrong, and Fu Jian secretly divided and recruited the five thousand Buqu left in his hands. Within two months, there were only more than two thousand people left.
Although he is the general of Sikong and Zhengdong, he will always be a dwarf in front of the Fu family and the Di chieftain.
The days are getting more and more frustrating day by day.
These were not the most depressing things for him. As a prisoner, Zhang Yu didn't think too much. He just wanted to be a rich man and live a long life. After all, he was already in his fifties, and his ambitions had long since faded away.
But the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
Fu Jian coveted the beauty of Han, the concubine of Zhang Yu's father, and took her as Zhaoyi.
That's all. He also called Zhang Yu his adopted son many times in front of everyone.
Zhang Yu spent most of his life and had five adopted sons, but he didn't expect that he would eventually become someone else's adopted son.
The key is that Fu Jian is only thirty-six this year, while Zhang Yu is fifty-five.
How could he swallow this humiliation?
"Stretch out your head and cut your head with a knife. If you don't kill Fu Jian, I swear you won't be a human being!" Zhang Yu slapped his palm on the table. Fu Jian had already forced him into a desperate situation. If he didn't resist, the two thousand people around him would also be killed. Can't keep it.
The tribesmen are separated. Who else in Guanzhong will regard Zhang Yu as a person in the future?
Several adopted sons looked at each other.
"You don't need to worry too much. I have secretly contacted Zhang Ping, Yao Xiang, Sima Xun, and Huan Wen. We will work together internally and externally to destroy the Fu family!" Zhang Yu regained some of his former ruthlessness.
Since Fu Jian doesn't want him to live a good life, then he shouldn't live at all.
"My son is willing to fight to the death for you!" The adopted sons bowed their hands in worship.
Since Zhang Yu took action, he was naturally well prepared and secretly contacted the Xiongnu chieftain Liu Huang to kill Fu Jian together...
Newfield.
The autumn wind is strong and the chilling air is flying.
Forty thousand infantry and cavalry were assembled, and the gold and iron horses lined the north of the Han River. The military appearance was far beyond the comparison of Chu Pei and Yin Hao, and no other army in the east of the Yangtze River could compare with it.
A few days ago, Huan Wen had already listed the crimes of Yin Hao's defeat and humiliation of the country, forcing the court to depose Yin Hao as a commoner. There was no one in Jiangdong who could stand up to Huan Wen. All the power inside and outside was in his hands, and no one could stop Huan Wen's northern expedition.
Once Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was successful, Huan Wen could legitimately enter Jiankang and fulfill his long-cherished wish.
"This is what a man should do!" Huan Wen, riding on his horse with a golden sword, rode past the military formation in a chariot.
The majestic soldiers made his blood boil.
This year, Huan Wen has just entered the age of forty, but he already knows his destiny, and his destiny is right in front of him and within his reach.
"Northern Expedition!" Huan Wen drew his sword and pointed it to the north.
The chariot flew past, like a meteorite streaking across the sky, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the soldiers.
Those high-ranking nobles may only want to settle in Jiangzuo, but these soldiers have never forgotten their homeland and homeland in the north.
"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"
Countless people raised their swords and spears and stabbed into the sky, shouting like the sky was falling apart.
They had waited too long for this moment.
Boom, boom, boom...
The war drums beat forward, and the soldiers stepped northward with determination.
Two columns of cavalry advanced like a long dragon.
A horse flew out from among them. It was majestic and tall, with a red-armored and yellow horse. It flew past like a ball of flames and rushed in front of the army in less than a moment.
"Suppress the evil man, suppress the evil man..."
In an instant, the three armies shouted in unison, and their morale was like a raging fire cooking oil.
Huan Wen in the car laughed loudly: "This is the enemy of ten thousand people in my family!"
Also sending troops was Sima Xun of Hanzhong. They attacked from two sides and cooperated inside and outside. Huan Wen was sure of victory...
The new wind came from the northwest with a biting chill, blowing all kinds of news from the west into Yecheng.
Huan Wen's northern expedition to Guanzhong was naturally a good thing for the Central Plains.
The pressure on Yuzhou has been greatly reduced.
With Huan Wen's character, even if he wins, he will not focus on Guanzhong. At most, he will maintain a chaotic situation, waiting for the overlord of Guandong to win and regain Guanzhong.
If defeated, Jingxiang's strength would be greatly reduced and he would not be able to recover within a few years, so he would inevitably strengthen his alliance with himself.
It feels really good to watch the fire from the other side.
Li Yue was in a very good mood.
Luoyang Yao Xiang also sent a memorial, not hiding his relationship with Zhang Ping, and preparing to attack Hedong and Hongnong together with Zhang Ping, and peeked into Guanzhong, waiting for opportunities to make progress.
Huan Wen's Northern Expedition attracted everyone's attention.
During the Great War in Guanzhong, Guandong was naturally peaceful.
Although the north of the river is a scorched earth, the south of the river is gradually regaining its vitality.
After the autumn harvest, Zhou Qian recruited more than 100,000 slaves and young men to dredge the Ying, Huai, Si and other major tributaries, rest the land, renovate the canals, and recreate the Huaibei farmland of the Cao Wei Dynasty.
Although Chang Wei has not been in Yuzhou for a long time, he has made great achievements. He supervises the people to farm, weave and raise livestock, and even small things such as raising chickens and pigs are bound to be done respectfully. He also personally makes judgments in criminal and prison proceedings. He has many policies to benefit the people. In less than a month, refugees and thieves from far and near came out of the mountains and forests and defected to the government.
Yuzhou’s population increased by more than 100,000.
It became the most prosperous state after Yanzhou.
Many people who originally lived on the border between Liang and Jin returned to the north and took root in Yuzhou.
The war in Kanto temporarily stopped, and the Central Plains began to explode with potential.
There is an endless stream of business travelers traveling from north to south.
During Huan Wen's Northern Expedition, the demand for war horses, livestock, and armor increased sharply. After Zhang Yu was removed, caravans were able to move more smoothly. Carts of grain and cloth were transported from Jiangling to Xuchang, and war horses were sent to the front line from Nanyang.
If there are people, there will be demand, and if there is demand, there will be business.
Although the Jiangdong court was still hostile to Liang Guo, the powerful nobles below were already ready to take action.
Especially the powerful locals in Jiangdong ignored the imperial ban and started doing business with Liang Guo.
What surprised Li Yue the most was that people from Yan State secretly smuggled war horses and leather goods over, and then bought tea, silk and other luxury goods back.
Many problems can be seen from the things bought and sold.
Yan State has been in business for several generations, and various forces in the country have grown up.
A prosperous dragon has regrets, and rising to the top is often a precursor to an impending decline...
The Central Plains, which was originally a pool of stagnant water, was injected with living water and became full of vitality.
Yecheng gradually became lively, and this place gradually became a transit place for people traveling from north to south.
The city of Ye built by Cao Wei had a great influence on the subsequent capitals.
The first one adopted the layout of city and city, with central axis symmetry, palaces and streets arranged on the left and right, and a rigorous structure. The newly built Chang'an and Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties drew on the layout of Ye City.
"Your Highness, the envoy to the country has returned." Li Yue was visiting Yechengfang City, but Cui Hong came with someone to find him.
"So fast?" Li Yue was slightly surprised.
No news came back from the nearest Jinyang, but news came to Daiguo first.
Among the major forces, Dai State is the most important. If they are willing to form an alliance, Yan State's life will not be so easy.
But looking at Cui Hong's strange expression, Li Yue felt that the matter was not simple, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
