Three years passed in a blink of an eye. Within three years, the situation in the north and south of the Han Dynasty changed a lot.

When Liu Yan was assassinated, the target was originally directed at Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. However, Liu Yan's second son Liu Dan came to power in Chang'an, and the emperor Liu Xie appointed Liu Dan to take over as Yizhou pastoralist, which brought more confusion to Liu Yan's death.

Liu Dan returned to Yizhou and was killed in the Han River.

Zhang Lu and Liu Yan's eldest son Liu Fan reconciled, and the original fighting in Yizhou temporarily subsided. Zhang Lu even recommended Liu Fan to take over as the shepherd of Yizhou, but the imperial title was delayed, and Liu Fan took charge of Yizhou on his own.

Mu, completely cut off contact with Chang'an.

Liu Cang sent Hua Xiong to lead troops to garrison in Guanghan, but Liu Fan refused. Liu Fan instead appointed Hua Xiong as the governor of Qianwei, with the commandery of Wuyang and the defense of Emei and Qingcheng. He governed more than 100,000 households, but it was the land of Nanyi.

After Liu Yan's death, Liu Fan reorganized Yizhou and had no time to distract himself.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou relaxed his guard against Yizhou to a certain extent, but Jiaozhou and Yangzhou have been developing extremely well in recent years, and coupled with some personnel related to Liu Cang in the north, Jingzhou has increasingly tightened its guard against Yangzhou.

There are changes in the South, but there are no extreme conflicts yet.

The changes in things in the north were much more drastic than in the south. Cao Cao's power grew day by day and he gradually controlled Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Tao Qian died of illness in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei took over Xuzhou to resist Cao Cao's invasion of Xu. Even with a disadvantage in terms of military strength and combat readiness, he relied on his strong generals and part of the Liaodong Army to withstand Cao Cao's all-out invasion of Xuzhou, and gained a great reputation among the Xuzhou Army.

Good prestige.

Although the two sides fought to the death, the war in Xuzhou has been going on for many years, so it is not unusual.

But the biggest change was that Liu Bei attached himself to Liu Cang, and Cao Cao married Liu Cang, which also expressed his respect for Luoyang to a certain extent.

Well, neither Brother Bei nor Boss Cao are willing to be inferior to others, but there is no way, Gongsun Zan was suddenly overtaken by Yuan Shao, and Liu Cang was too strong here.

Not to mention that in recent years, for some unknown reason, talented people and strangers have emerged in large numbers in the world, and personal combat power has increasingly played a vital role in the war.

Liu Cang even has nearly 10,000 degenerates under his direct control. These degenerates have a perfect armor and stomach, and are capable of carrying the cauldron. They are far more powerful than the degenerates in the hands of others.

In the south, tens of thousands of degenerate people were scattered throughout Yangzhou, reclaiming wasteland and mountains, digging canals and building roads, and managed people's livelihood and civil affairs for several years, with remarkable results.

Taotie often appeared in the Xianbei grassland, and the northern princes often sent elite soldiers to search and capture them. Although they did not dare to let the Taotie control slaves, most of the northern princes also had degenerate people in their hands.

Degenerate people are not considered a taboo in the north. Nowadays, the Han region is probably Jingzhou and Yizhou, and there are often voices against gluttons and degenerate people.

Liu Cang has been quite peaceful in the past two years, but regardless of whether it is Yuzhou or Xuzhou, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are afraid that Liu Cang will send his troops northward.

More importantly, Liaodong Gongsun Zan surrendered Liu Cang's concubine Roxana.

Early on, Gongsun Zan lost all the support of the people, and when Yuan Shao was about to overturn Gongsun Zan completely, Gongsun Zan was rescued by Roxana and was taken under her command.

Roxana stationed troops in Liaodong, overtly and covertly helping Gongsun Zan suppress the foreign tribes in Youzhou.

Liu Yu of Youzhou handed over almost all military affairs in Youzhou to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were at odds again. Liu Yu was working as a pastor in Youzhou in name only, but Roxana declared that she wanted to leave Liaodong, and even wanted to take Gongsun Zan out of Han.

In response to the situation, Liu Bei seemed to have lost his head, so he simply submitted a document to Luoyang asking for Xuzhou Mu. Although he did not explain it clearly, the attitude of relying on Liu Cang was known to the world.

Liu Bei relied on Liu Cang, but for Cao Cao, if he wanted to stabilize Yanzhou and Yuzhou, it was impossible not to occupy Xuzhou.

Cao Cao also pretended to be crazy and paid part of the tax revenue from Yanzhou and Yuzhou to Luoyang. Liu Cang was confused for a while, and in the future, the two elders seemed to express their dependence on him.

The two relied on Liu Cang to a certain extent, but they still had to fight when Xuzhou should fight. The two fought to the death in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei is a strong general and Cao Cao has a large army. Even though he knows that the two of them are a bit like a vertical and horizontal alliance. But for Liu Cang, the palm of his hand is meat and the back of his hand is also meat. At this time, Liu Cang cannot reach out to interfere with the two of them.

fight.

Liu Cang could at most limit the two of them to use water-flooding and fire-attack tactics in Xuzhou, or after the two of them decided the winner, they shouldn't be able to confiscate their homes, destroy their families, and fight each other to death, right?

Changshengling and Jianzhang Palace. Compared with the majesty and grandeur of the early years, Jianzhang Palace now looks more charming from a distance.

Most of the guards in the palace were accompanied by tigers and bears, either ferocious tigers or bear bears. Compared with Liu Cang's cautious treatment of tigers and bears in his early years, these tigers and bears with spiritual veins and signed war pet contracts with the guards basically did not

There will be another incident of accidentally injuring someone in the palace.

Well, thousands of war beasts can basically be regarded as spiritual beasts. Liu Cang traveled around the world over the years and brought back a lot of spiritual veins to Jianzhang Palace.

According to the grade of spiritual veins, Liu Cang divided the spiritual veins into low, medium and high grades, with gray, black and blue as low, gold and red as medium, purple and the rarer purple gold as high.

Today, in Jianzhang Palace, there are tens of thousands of high-quality spiritual veins that are invisible to the naked eye. These spiritual veins have reached an agreement with Liu Cang.

They can live freely in Jianzhang Palace, and Liu Cang will not harm them or threaten them to coexist with humans. However, the spiritual veins they will split, or be born from, will be arranged to coexist with other lives.

In addition to these spiritual veins that can be regarded as being raised by Liu Cang, Liu Cang also obtained a lot of spiritual veins to symbiosis with the war beasts.

A large number of spiritual veins and spiritual beasts bring a rich aura to Jianzhang Palace, which makes it feel like a fairyland. Being in it can make people feel happy physically and mentally.

In Mingluan Hall, Cai Yan received a batch of "Sikun Dan" that had just been delivered. The name was quite strange, mostly to deceive others.

This thing is a pill made from spirit turtles, a life-extending elixir used to restore body activity.

After many years, the turtles raised by Liu Cang finally ushered in a spurt of spiritual marrow production. They were no longer as fussy as in the early years, and they finally realized the freedom to eat turtles.

"Sister Xiu Niang, ask Xu Chu to distribute this batch of elixirs to various places and send a copy to Shanna. Let her decide whether to give it to Gongsun Zan or not." Cai Yan said to Zhang Xiu Niang.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Gongsun Zan? Time flies so fast." Zhang Xiuniang suddenly sighed.

Liu Cang's subordinates were scattered all over the place. As time went by, except for Cai Yong's elders, some of the once young and strong men also began to enter a period of decline.

Today is different from the past. With spiritual veins, you can extend your life to a certain extent through practice, but usually you have to reach a certain level, or complete a certain degree of life transition.

Under normal circumstances, Qi training has little effect on physical activity, but is more aimed at improving and optimizing mental, energy and other aspects.

Probably in order to increase Zhang Xiu Niang's influence in the family, Liu Cang allocated an army composed of degenerates to be led by Xu Chu. However, including Xu Chu, this army has always been under Zhang Xiu Niang's direct control.

Xu Chu was trusted by Zhang Xiu Niang and became a core member of Liu Cang's subordinates. At the same time, he escorted and distributed Si Kun Dan to generals in various places every year.

Zhang Xiu Niang also had an impression of the young Gongsun Zan. At this time, she suddenly realized that Gongsun Zan had also entered a period of decline, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Gee, Zhi'er, those bad boys like Fu'er will run away from home, time doesn't go by so fast." Cai Yan said with a smile, Zhang Xiu Niang looked distressed.

"It has been reported that Zhi'er has appeared in the Xiangyang area. Where is your husband now?" Zhang Xiu Niang asked.

"Stop talking, Fu'er robbed a pair of Qiao sisters in Lujiang, and my husband probably went to Panyang waters first." Cai Yan had a strange expression.

"Sister, don't worry. General Dian has already led his flying cavalry to look for Zhi'er. But for Noriman, I asked Dafu to follow me. I'm really afraid of offending General Dian, so I won't do it lightly or hard. Don't break the child again."

"Yang Rong has gone too? Aren't you worried about Fu'er?" An eight-year-old baby can actually rob a civilian girl, Zhang Xiu Niang shook her head and said with a smile.
