Nanyang is a rich and chaotic land.

Since the decline of the He family, Nanyang has been left without a master, and the local forces in Nanyang have changed from overt and covert struggles to 'changing owners' several times.

Yuan Shu chose Nanyang as his foundation after careful consideration. He used Sun Jian's sharp knife to harvest Nanyang's powerful men. Sun Jian played the bad role and Yuan Shu played the red face.

Yuan Shu spread his troops across Nanyang for a short period of time. He did not seek to win over the people, but he carried out military exploits in Nanyang, recruiting troops on a large scale and building up an army.

Recruitment these days is not something you can take for granted by occupying a certain area.

Without a certain public base, will the forcibly recruited troops be trained? Will they be equipped with military equipment? Let’s not say how powerful they are. Whether you dare to use them is the fundamental question.

It can be said that Yuan Shu deserves his title as a prince during this period.

Yuan Shu had many ministers and generals under his command. Not to mention Boss Cao and Brother Bei Bei at this time, even Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan would be beaten by him in this regard.

After Yuan Ji's death, as a descendant of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shu had a more orthodox status than Yuan Shao.

In particular, Han Fu staged a drama where Yuan Shao was forced to die. Many of Yuan's disciples and old officials defected to Yuan Shu. Because Yuan had slaughtered the eunuchs, a large number of scholars who had been shackled by the party for a long time defected to Yuan Shu.

There is no need to say more about Sun Jian's line. Nowadays, Sun Jian's power cannot be said to be strong. Not only does he take the blame for Yuan Shu, Sun Jian also holds the imperial seal in his hand and obeys Yuan Shu's orders. However, he has a vague cooperative relationship with Yuan Shu and is not considered a general of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu manipulated Sun Jian in Hulao Pass, and the reason why Sun Jian still obeys Yuan Shu's orders to this day is because Yuan Shu's burst of energy during this period was too great, which made Sun Jian see the possibility of profit from Yuan Shu.

The boss's group of people gathered under Yuan Shu for various reasons. Now Yuan Shu has not done the bloody trick of proclaiming himself emperor, and even some Han clan members are optimistic about Yuan Shu.

There is no evaluation of the abilities of these people, but bringing money and troops to invest is basically a routine operation. It is conceivable that Yuan Shu's army is prosperous.

To be honest, Liu Cang really didn't want to provoke Yuan Shu at this time. Nowadays, most of the Han people have a sense of belonging and their faith is overwhelming. Now is the period when the military morale of all parties is the strongest.

As long as there are many aristocratic and wealthy families gathered together, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be what the people want.

The rulers of later generations used to say that the aristocratic families that oppressed the people during the Han Dynasty must be eliminated. This probably sounds better, is simpler, and is easier to understand and accept. It cannot be said that they control some people's hearts. We feel uncomfortable and unsafe, so we have to kill them, right?

This so-called method of controlling people's hearts is different, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad. The only thing is undeniable.

Once you have a head-on conflict with them, if you don't kill them, it won't work. If you kill them, it will be unethical.

Anyway, Jingzhou Liu Biao and later Boss Cao were at odds with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was only 250. Liu Cang originally expected Liu Biao and Boss Cao to dismantle Yuan Shu's team. By then, the people's support in the hands of these teams would have been exhausted.

At that time, the war can be carried out lightly, supplemented by deterrence and righteousness, taking more prisoners and killing fewer troops, which is what Liu Cang wants.

To be honest, Yuan Shu's level was really not that good. After fighting with Liu Biao for two years, he actually pinched himself. He blamed everything on Jingzhou, which was not his territory, and ended up wanting to move his base.

But there is a queen mother squatting in Luoyang, and there is Liu Cang who can't figure out the details, but is snarling and cruel. Yuzhou and Sili must not go and plant flags randomly.

If you want to occupy Jizhou, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Yuzheng are fighting to the death with Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian and the Black Mountain Army.

Jizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou are in turmoil. It is obviously not worthwhile to go there to cause trouble at this time. No matter how you look at it, it is more appropriate to wait until both sides suffer losses before going there.

After looking around, Yuan Shu glanced at Yangzhou again.

After Cai Yong took over Yangzhou as pastor, Liu Cang only sent Ji Ling to run Wu County.

Today's Yangzhou is not a prosperous place. Yuan Shu speculates that even if Liu Cang wants to separate his empire, he should focus on Sili of Yuzhou. Many people under Yuan Shu's command also speculate that Liu Cang's troops are insufficient.

Since Liu Cang didn't even capture Yuzhou, then when they left Yangzhou, Liu Cang had no time to go south. At most, he would send people to discuss an alliance with Liu Cang later. After all, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, and Liu Biao were not fuel-efficient, and the direction of Chang'an was very difficult for Liu Cang.

It is said to be a destabilizing factor.

In the early years, Yangzhou was mostly a place for scholars to avoid disasters. Now Yangzhou is half of Yuan Shu's territory. Before Liu Cang ruled Yangzhou, Zhang Cheng, Han Hao, Liu Fu, and Liu Ye all maintained good relations with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu and all the civil and military officials gathered together to discuss, and sent out troops from Danyang, preparing to take over Yangzhou. There were many powerful families in Yuzhang, Kuaiji, Jiujiang, and Lujiang who gathered together to join forces. Yuan Shu was satisfied with his ambition and felt that he had become hardened again.

Then, Liu Cang became angry.

He wants to go to Yuzhou, which is a very complicated place.

In his early years, Liu Cang didn't care about anything. He didn't care about anything other than engaging with foreign tribes. In recent years, when he had more people under his command, he also cared about Yangzhou.

The reason why Yangzhou was not governed was that Luoyang was not yet stable and had many things to deal with.

More importantly, he did not want to kill too many people in Yangzhou. He planned to use Wu County as the center to gradually win over the people and weaken the influence of the powerful families there among the people.

Liu Cang planned to use Yangzhou as the rear area for stationing grain and troops, and planned to spend great efforts to bring disaster to Xianbei first.

Well, that's right, let's fight the Han Dynasty, everyone will fight. First, the Xianbei and Hu Qiang will be destroyed. The other side of the province is more powerful. In the future, our own group of talented people will fight back in self-defense.

Too thrilling.

In short, Liu Cang was already thinking about Yangzhou.

But before he could make a move, Yuan Shu waved his flag. What a blessing, those bastards actually took away all his people and soldiers?

"Sun Jian of Yuan Shu's ministry secretly intercepted the jade seal. Yuan Shu usurped power and plotted rebellion with illegal intentions. General Liu Cang sent a petition to the emperor to attack him with troops."

When the memorial was written to Chang'an, Liu Xie took a look and said, "That's right!"

Yuan Shu: “.

"

Sun Jian: ".

"

Huang Zhong led his troops to the south, and Jiaozhou gathered his troops to move north. Yuan Shu had no support, and the Yangzhou family had no way to deal with it.

Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Yan and other princes were somewhat confused. They had been fighting for more than two years. Is King Dongping also preparing to join the war?

By the way, you threw the jade seal out in the first place. If you didn’t want anyone to take it, just send it to Chang’an!

The princes from all walks of life deeply questioned Liu Cang's digging of holes.

Yuan Shu felt a little guilty, but after a quick look, eh?

Huang Zhong brought tens of thousands of people with him?

Only tens of thousands of people came to Jiaozhou?

That's it?

If you are stationed in Danyang, do you still need to recruit troops from the county or city?

Why are you so mean?

Yuan Shu looked at his nearly 200,000 elite soldiers and at the number of "local snakes" in Yangzhou under his command. Yuan Shu felt that he was doing well again.

As a vassal king who has been in business for less than ten years, with only a few old guys under his command, this place is not your one-third of an acre.

Come on, who is afraid of whom?

Yuan Shu's troops pointed at Danyang and marched to the four counties of Kuaiji, Jiujiang, Yuzhang, and Lujiang to test the movements of each county, intending to encircle Danyang and then capture Wu County.

Everyone knows that Liu Cang is very powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, you can't stand the big map.

Facing Yuan Shu's march, many Yangzhou counties defended the city, but they also wanted to wait and see.

Wars broke out in Danyang counties, Changxing, Nanling, Dangxu, and Jurong. Huang Zhong and Danyang prefect Zhou Shang gathered troops in Wanling to observe the movements of Yuan Shu's main force.

There were dozens of generals under Yuan Shu's command, and they attacked from many directions, with overwhelming momentum.

Let us say that Yuan Shu was full of confidence and wanted to take over Yangzhou.

On Liu Cang's side, the entire mosasaur was dismantled and sent back to Jianzhang Palace. The group of hussars carrying Liu Cang and hundreds of pale-faced hussars who had eaten the mosasaur's entrails were flying into Danyang.
