Chapter 32 The World Situation (End)
Chapter 32: The situation in the world (end)
Although Li Ru said it very well, he also knew that the Guandong princes are busy fighting for territory and expanding their strength. Moreover, Liu Bin's threat to them has not been revealed yet, so for a while, the princes will not take the initiative to unite to deal with Liu Bin! Moreover, Liu Bin's sphere of influence is in the north and has nothing to do with the territory of most of the princes, so those princes may not be worried that Liu Bin will threaten them at all! If those princes want to unite to deal with Liu Bin, the princes will need to decide the outcome and produce several major princes. Liu Bin has already threatened their further development at that time, and they will unite to deal with Liu Bin! Therefore, Li Ru's idea is good, but he needs to wait until the time is ripe before he can start!
On the other hand, Sun Jian was besieged by Liu Biao's troops in Jingzhou. Fortunately, Sun Jian was extremely brave and his soldiers were more vigorous and fought desperately against the Jingzhou army. Finally, when most of his troops were lost, Sun Jian still fled with the remaining subordinates. However, Changsha would definitely not be able to go back. Now that Liu Biao has controlled the entire Jingzhou, he has broken up with him again. If he still goes to Changsha, his strength will definitely be annexed by Liu Biao! Moreover, under Liu Biao's rule, it will be difficult for him to make any major development in a short period of time! So Cheng Pu suggested to Sun Jian: "Lord. Now the thieves in Jiangdong are rampant and there are few officers and soldiers. It is the homeland of the general. Why not lead the troops to Jiangdong to develop?"
Jian listened to the orders. He was originally from Jiangdong, and he knew the situation there and had a certain connection. Now he had no powerful force. If he went there, he might have a better development! So Sun Jian took his subordinates to Jiangdong and rushed to Jiangdong. Sun Jian returned to Jiangdong, took advantage of the complex situation in Jiangdong, occupied a certain territory, and then began to recruit soldiers and expand his strength! Sun Jian's subordinates were originally from Jiangdong, and were elite troops in Jiangdong. He had experience in several wars. In addition, the horses that Liu Bin funded him, which gave him cavalry troops in Jiangdong. So soon Sun Jian's strength was greatly improved!
After returning from Luoyang, Yuan Shu also used his prestige of the fourth generation and three kings of Yuan's family to recruit many talents. Nanyang was originally the imperial town (Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han, was born in Nanyang! Therefore, Nanyang was known as the imperial town in the Eastern Han Dynasty!) It has a large population and is known as the number one county in the world. A county in Nanyang is even richer than some states! Therefore, Yuan Shu had more soldiers and sufficient food in Nanyang, and developed very quickly! Soon most of the Yuzhou was in Nanyang.
The territory became Yuan Shu's possession! Then he sent troops to the Huainan area, occupied Shouchun and other places, and occupied most of Yangzhou! His strength increased greatly, and he became the top ranks of the world, second only to Liu Bin in Youzhou and Dong Zhuo in Chang'an! Even Cao Cao was inadequate compared with him! Yuan Shao in Jizhou was also suppressed by Liu Yu, and even Cao Cao's strength was insufficient! So Yuan Shu also began to become arrogant!
As for other places, they basically maintain the original! Tao Qian still occupies Xuzhou! Tao Qian is basically the only one in Xuzhou! However, although Tao Qian is the governor of Xuzhou, his control over Xuzhou is mainly supported by local aristocratic families. Tao Qian is just a literati and does not understand military affairs. In addition, he is old, so Tao Qian's control over Xuzhou is not very effective. Because of his lack of progress! This kind of force is destined to do nothing in this troubled times, and it is a matter of time before being annexed by other powerful forces! The situation in Jingzhou is similar to that in Xuzhou.
!Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, occupied the vast majority of Jingzhou, but like Tao Qian, he relied on the local aristocratic families to support his rule! Liu Biao was also a literati, and the literary style of Jingzhou was also very strong. Therefore, although Jingzhou had many soldiers and enough food, the country was strong and the people were rich, he was not enterprising and had no such thing as fighting for hegemony, so sooner or later he would be annexed by others! In addition, there were Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu who occupied Wancheng. They were ambitious, but their territory was too small. Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were not very talented, so there was no possibility of fighting for hegemony!
In Yizhou to the west, Liu Yan, the former governor of Yizhou, had passed away due to his age. The one who took over his position as governor of Yizhou was his third son Liu Zhang! His eldest son and second son were originally very talented, but the second son died young. The eldest son was in Luoyang before, but during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, he was unfortunately killed by the rebels, so Liu Zhang could only take over the throne. However, Liu Zhang was weak by nature. After he took office, many people in Yizhou were dissatisfied! Among them, Zhang Lu, from Dongchuan, was the most special! Zhang Lu was the tenth generation grandson of Zhang Liang, the founder of Wu Dou Mi Taoism in the Western Han Dynasty, and the grandson of Zhang Ling, the ancestor of Wu Dou Mi Taoism. After his grandfather and father passed away, he continued to spread Wu Dou Mi Taoism in the Hanzhong area and called himself "Shi Jun". The grandson of Zhang Ling, the grandson of Zhang Ling, continued to spread Wu Dou Mi Taoism in the Hanzhong area after his grandfather and father died, and called himself "Shi Jun".
The five dou of rice Taoist was a master. His courtesy name was Gongqi (also known as "gongqi"), and he was from Feng, Peiguo (Feng County, Jiangsu Province). After Zhang Ling's death, his son Zhang Heng followed his way. After Heng died, Zhang Luji was the leader. His mother liked health care, "had a young man" and "also used ghosts to deal with the Liu Yan family of Yizhou. He gained trust through his relationship with his mother and the Liu Yan family. In the second year of Chuping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (191), Liu Yan appointed him as the governor of Yi Sima, and led his troops to attack the Hanzhong prefect Su Gu with other Sima Zhang Xiu. After Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu and seized his troops. Liu Yan died, and his son Liu Zhang established himself in his place, and killed all the family members of Lu's mother because Zhang Lu did not obey his orders. Therefore, Zhang Lu used the separatist Hanzhong, and divided the East Sichuan and the West Sichuan to govern them! They were hostile to each other!
In Yangzhou, the nominal governor of Yangzhou is Liu Yao, but Liu Yao can only be the nominal governor of Yangzhou! Now Yangzhou has been divided into multiple forces, with three of the largest ones! Yuan Shu occupied Huainan and other places in Yangzhou, and ignored Liu Yao at all! And in Jiangdong, Sun Jian occupied several counties, and finally Liu Yao. Only one-third of the Yangzhou area that Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, can control! There are Yan Baihu and Wang Lang and others left! The whole Yangzhou is in a mess! No one can do anything to anyone now, and a deadlock has temporarily formed, and there will be no major changes in the short term!
In Qingzhou, the governor of Qingzhou is called Tian Kai! Apart from Tian Kai, there are no other princes who have become a climatic! However, Tian Kai's control over Qingzhou is also very small! First, Tian Kai did not have much military talent, and Qingzhou's military deterioration. Moreover, Qingzhou is also the main area for the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army! Although the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou and Yuzhou were incorporated by Liu Bin, there are still hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army remnants in Qingzhou. Now, under Liu Bin's hint, they are starting to wander around, so Qingzhou is also in chaos, making Tian Kai frustrated! Therefore, there is no possibility of fighting for hegemony in Qingzhou!
In the southernmost Jiaozhou, there are mainly local natives, and the Shi family headed by Shi Xie are under control! However, Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, with sparse population, and is isolated from the Central Plains. In addition, Jiaozhou was still a barren land and had not been developed much, so it has not been paid attention to by the princes of the world, and the Jiaozhou area has no strength to fight for dominance! As for the Sili area, it has basically become a ruin! After the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, when Dong Zhuo entered the capital of the eighteen princes, he was about to retreat to Chang'an, a torch burned Luoyang to ruins, and Liu Bin took the opportunity to migrate all the people of Luoyang to Youzhou! Although there is still a small Luoyang court, this cannot cover the fact that the Sili area is already deserted! No princes were interested in this place, so the Sili area, the former center of the world, has gradually disappeared in the eyes of the people of the world!
In Liangzhou, in addition to Dong Zhuo controlling most of Liangzhou, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others also controlled the mighty and other places in Liangzhou, accounting for almost one-third of Liangzhou! Liangzhou is close to the border and is adjacent to foreign races such as Qiang and Hu. The people are fierce. Although they are relatively poor, the combat effectiveness of the army is really not weak! Ma Teng and Han Sui have prestige in Liangzhou and are also close to foreign races such as Qiang and Hu, so this is also a big force. Even Dong Zhuo is also very troubled by them! Ma Teng claims to be the descendant of Ma Yuan, a famous general in the early Han Dynasty. He is still a relatively loyal and righteous prince, while Han Sui is a treacherous!
He was originally a famous scholar in Liangzhou, but when Beigong Boyu and others rebelled, he felt that he had insufficient fame and others, so he elected Han Sui as the leader. As a result, after Han Sui took the actual power of the rebels, he killed Beigong Boyu and others, and he controlled the rebels! Finally, when the court suppressed the rebellion, Han Sui saw that the situation was wrong, so he surrendered! Later, he became brothers with Ma Teng, and the two joined forces to act as a blessing in Liangzhou! When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, they were also one of them, but they marched from Liangzhou to Chang'an, but later they were beaten back by Niu Fu, who was guarding Chang'an!
Now in the whole world, Liu Bin occupies Youzhou and Bingzhou. In addition, some grassland areas are the largest vassals in the world and the most powerful! Then there is Dong Zhuo, who occupied the Three Auxiliary Land of Chang'an and most of Liangzhou. Although he suffered great losses in Luoyang, his vitality was not damaged. In addition, he controlled the little emperor, so he was the second largest vassal in the world, second only to Liu Bin! Then he mastered most of Yuzhou and part of Yangzhou, as well as Cao Cao who occupied Yanzhou, Liu Yu of Jizhou and Yuan Shao who occupied Bohai and other places! As for Liu Bei, he is still living under Yuan Shao's vain! There is no territory, no generals, and no strategists. He is a complete three-no prince. He is still far from fighting for the world!
