Two months passed quietly, and the cold wind was still roaring in Youzhou and covered with snow.

Half a month ago, the first batch of civil servants drawn from Chang'an arrived in Yijing and were sent by Guo Jia to various counties to take over government affairs.

At the same time, Gongsun Zan and the families of the main subordinates of Youzhou were also sent to Chang'an, and some generals of the Youzhou Army accompanied them. They would be placed in the Xiliang Army to continue to serve as generals. However, most of them did not serve in the main battle camp, but were sent out to the counties under Xiliang as deputy generals or small schools to serve as deputy generals or small schools in the city guarding. The soldiers of the county government were mostly in the rear, basically away from the battlefield, and could enjoy a peaceful life.

Many of the Youzhou generals who were transferred had no objection to this and accepted it happily. Perhaps they were tired of fighting and fighting, and had long been looking forward to a comfortable life in peace and stability. A small number of generals were quite dissatisfied with this, but they were humble and said lightly, dared not speak out, and had to obey the arrangements. As time goes by, they will slowly calm down and gradually adapt to the new environment.

While sorting out the government affairs of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan's troops were reorganized and reorganized. This time, Guo Jiaquanquan was responsible for the reorganization of Youzhou Army. He divided the reorganization work into three steps. First, some middle and senior generals were transferred to disrupt the army sequence, and then the generals were drawn from Zhao Yun, Li Zhi, Zhang Liao and Zhang Yan's tents to supplement them.

Secondly, the cavalry and infantry were integrated. All cavalry were included in the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and then soldiers were drawn from the Wuwei Camp, Feiyan Light Cavalry and Wushuang Iron Cavalry. A new iron cavalry was reorganized, called "Youzhou Iron Cavalry", that is, Youzhou Camp. The newly formed Youzhou Camp is called Youzhou Iron Cavalry. More than 70% of the soldiers in the actual camp were Xiliang Iron Cavalry; the entire battalion was temporarily organized into 20,000 light cavalry, with the deputy commander of Feiyan Light Cavalry Xu Huang as the chief general, Yan Gang as the deputy commander, and Tian Yu as the joining army. After the cavalry reorganization was completed, the infantry and Yan Rou were mixed together with Yan Rou's troops and the Xiliang army 20,000 county government soldiers were selected to form the Wurui Camp. Gao Shun, the commander of the camp, temporarily lords the position of general, Yan Rou as the deputy commander, and Mi Zhu as the joining army.

Since then, the Xiliang Army has three "Wu" infantry soldiers, namely: Wuzhuying, Wuweiying and Wuruiying. The soldiers of the third battalion are all infantry soldiers. Each battalion has a full staff of 50,000 soldiers, totaling 150,000 infantry.

The last step for Guo Jia to integrate the Youzhou army was to re-arrange the lower generals of Gongsun Zan's tent. Tian Kai was entrusted with important tasks and served as the deputy general of Youzhou; Shan Jing served as the acting county magistrate. Guan Jing, the chief of Youzhou, was transferred to the position of Shanggu County Xian Yuyin and was transferred to the position of Zhang Liao as the general of the Central Army. Xian Yufu was transferred to the position of Zhang Yan as the General of the Central Army, and Qi Zhou was transferred to the position of Zhao Yun as the Chief of the Ten Thousand Man.

In addition, all other generals under Gongsun Zan's tent were transferred from Youzhou, either sent to Chang'an for relocating by Li Xuan, or transferred to Bingzhou as the governor or the chief lieutenant.

In order to ensure a smooth transition of this reorganization, Gongsun Zan convinced the rebellious generals and prompted him to leave Youzhou and obey military orders and mobilize them. In addition to the troubles of resettlement of generals, the reorganization of Youzhou troops was very smooth and the order was prohibited. The reorganization was completed in just one month.

For a whole winter, to outsiders, the territory of Youzhou was calm and unpredictable. In fact, Youzhou had completed its handover and quietly changed its ownership. After the integration of Youzhou Army, Li Li appointed Guo Jia as the governor of Youzhou, Tian Kai as the deceased, and Mi Zhu as the chief of Youzhou. Everything was moving steadily in an orderly manner, Youzhou ushered in a new situation, Li Li took over Youzhou, and the barbarian tribe on the northeastern border ushered in the Xiliang army that was ready to attack.

On this day, Li Li drank and talked with Gongsun Zan in the central army's tent. To this day, they were the masters, but Li Li treated Gongsun Zan as always and often invited him to banquets for talks. He has been like this for several months and is unparalleled to him.

Nowadays, Gongsun Zan is still a former general, with a position of Bisan Gong and a counselor. He has a unique position. He is second only to General Li Jue, the chariot and cavalry in the Xiliang army, and is superior to the generals of Xiliang. The only difference from the past is that his children and family were sent to Chang'an to settle down, and he was also demoted from one overlord to a minister, with a lord on his head. Apart from this, there is basically no big change, as usual. Of course, the most important thing is that he now has no military power and belongs to the former general of Bisan Gong who is famous and untrue. If he wants to regain military power, he must win Li Li's trust, otherwise everything will be in vain.

The footsteps of "bangbang" sounded into the central army's tent. Li Li and Gongsun Zan put down the wine bottle after hearing the sound and looked out the tent. But when Li Zhi quickly walked into the tent, he bowed to report: "Report to the lord, the governor's office has sent an urgent report. Half an hour ago, the former Youzhou governor Guan Jing and the former county magistrate General Shan Jing made a big fuss in the governor's office. Guan Jing claimed that the governor Guo Jia was unfair in his affairs and retaliated, and demoted him to the governor's magistrate of Shanggu County for no reason; and Shan Jing, who was causing trouble with him, was unwilling to go to Dai County to serve, and openly asked for the position of Yuyang Prefect."

"Oh?" Li Li responded in surprise, gently stroked the green beard that was more than an inch under his jaw, turned his head to look at Gongsun Zan, and then pondered and said nothing.

Gongsun Zan's expression changed drastically and said furiously: "It's outrageous! They made a big fuss in the governor's office and openly asked for official positions. They were simply brave and had no lord! Such arrogant people should be severely punished, and it is not an exaggeration to understand the punishment of the righteous decree!"

After hearing this, Li Zhi replied: "General Gongsun asked to calm down, and the last general still reported his feelings. Guan Jing and Shan Jing made a big fuss after they made a big fuss. Guo Jia was also as angry as General Gongsun. He immediately ordered the two to be detained and punished after reporting the lord. Unexpectedly, General Dan Jing resisted in court and waved his sword to face each other and was killed by General Yan Gang. Guan Jing was also accidentally killed by his personal soldiers in the melee, and the two died one after another. Just now, the governor Guo Jia sent someone to report the matter and asked the lord to go to the lord's office to deal with the matter."

"Ah! Are both of them dead?" Gongsun Zan was shocked after hearing this, exclaimed, and then felt that he was rude and did not say more.

Li Li frowned slightly, looked resentful. After thinking for a while, he turned his head to ask Gongsun Zan and said, "What do Bo Gui thinks about this? You don't have to worry about what you think of, and it's okay to say it bluntly."

"This" Gongsun Zan hesitated and thoughtfully said: "Why do you need to say more about such things that are not in charge of the Lord? You must be severely punished. These two people are more than dead. The military advisor has no fault in this matter, and we will have no objection to this."

"Well, since Brother Bo Gui has said that, let's do this." Li Li nodded slightly, and then ordered Li Zhi: "I ordered Guo Jia to properly handle the funeral, give Guan Jing, and follow the two of them, Guannei Marquis, to be buried with the courtesy of a marquis, and to appease his family. If anything like this happens, you will be killed without mercy! Go." He waved his hand to signal Li Zhi to retreat.

After Li Zhi left, Li Lixin said to Gongsun Zan with some emotion: "It is not difficult to see from this matter that there are many generals under Brother Bo Gui's tent who are dissatisfied, and Brother Bo Gui will have to worry more in the future." While speaking, Li Li poured a cup of wine for Gongsun Zan to express his gratitude.

Gongsun Zan quickly bowed and said apologetically: "This is all the last general's failure to control his subordinates before, and he will suffer today's disaster. Please forgive me."

Li Li shook his head gently and smiled and said, "Brother Bogui does not need to blame himself. People in troubled times have unpredictable hearts, greed is a natural person, and there are many people who are greedy and have gained ambitions. Now that winter is coming, spring is coming, our Youzhou will face severe tests again. A war is in full swing. I think it will come as scheduled soon. At that time, Brother Bogui needs to help you and me. You and I will fight side by side and will definitely be able to defeat the Wuhuan barbarians in one fell swoop!"

Gongsun Zan's expression moved and said anxiously: "Where did the lord know that the war is approaching? I wonder if this matter is correct?"

Li Li nodded slightly and smiled mysteriously: "This matter is not wrong. It is said that last winter, Yuan Shao, Jizhou, sent two envoys to Wuhuan, Xianbei tribes, and the other to Jingzhou. I think Yuan Shao must have some intentions in this move. As for what conspiracy it was, it is still unknown. But it is spring now, and all the plans will be announced in the next few months. We can wait and see."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Zhi who had just left and walked into the big tent again, presented a stack of letters and silk with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is a detailed work of the news just now, and the Huainan battlefield changed in a shocking way.

??

Time flows ruthlessly, and winter is gone and spring is coming.

In late February 198 AD, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, joined forces with Lingling, and the prefect of Guiyang, rebelled against Liu Biao and led the rebels to quickly capture the counties and counties in Jingnan. By the end of March, Zhang Xian led the rebels of three counties to seize Jingnan, with tens of thousands of troops, recruited troops and actively expanded his power, prepared for his troops and stared at him, and pointed directly at Xiangyang, Jingbei, posed a great threat to the capital of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao, who went to Huainan, was shocked after hearing the news. He immediately led a large army to withdraw from the battlefield in Huainan, rushed back to Jingzhou without stopping, and led his army to suppress the rebellion. At the same time, the Jingzhou navy also quickly returned and attacked the Jingnan rebels through water. In this way, he advanced side by side, attacked the Jingnan rebels in both directions, stabilized the situation in just half a month and curbed the offensive momentum of Zhang Xian's rebels.

However, the subsequent war was in a stalemate. Zhang Xian's rebels were very tenacious and resisted step by step, which led to Liu Biao's army's long-term attack. The attack of the rebel army was frustrated, and the war was stagnant and stalemate. At this point, Liu Biao's army was trapped in Jingzhou and could not go to the battlefield in Huainan, which caused the fire in Huainan to stagnate, allowing Yuan Shu, who was deeply in desperate situation, to breathe, and add variables to the entire battle to fight against Yuan. The situation became more chaotic and dark.

In mid-March, General Li Li ordered Liu Biao to send troops to Huainan to fight against Yuan Shu, but was politely rejected by Liu Biao on the grounds that the rebellion in Jingnan had not been put down. Subsequently, Li Li was so angry that he issued an order to fight against Yuan, openly accusing Liu Biao of shirking responsibility and ignoring the Han Dynasty, betraying his faith and forgetting his lords, and being a relative of the Han Dynasty. While denying Liu Biao, Li Li sent General Bo Cai, the Zhendong general, to lead an army of 50,000 to raid the Nanyang County of Jingzhou; and issued a general order to announce to the world, sending 100,000 troops within half a month to attack Yuan Shu in Huainan.

As the general's order spread throughout the world, the Xiliang army officially intervened in the two major battlefields of Huainan and Youzhou. On the Youzhou battlefield, the Xiliang army claimed to have sent 200,000 troops; on the Huainan battlefield, 100,000 troops, and another 50,000 infantry quietly approached Nanyang. At this point, the Xiliang army successively sent 350,000 troops to the Central Plains battlefield, thus opening the prelude to the eastward advance of the Xiliang army to the Central Plains.
