Lord Liang personally led hundreds of thousands of troops, including Xuzhou and Yizhou, more than 100,000 troops, to attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

This battle.

It can be said that it was the battle of founding the Han Dynasty. As long as you defend this time, people's hearts will be much more stable.

However, people in the world generally do not look down on the hero army, and the Liang army is really too strong.

The result was that the Han army defended it very safely.

This made the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty happy and thought that the world was settled. Those who accepted the Liang Dynasty's reunion and helped the Liang army openly and secretly couldn't help but murmurs in their hearts.

Is this Liang Dynasty OK?

Could it be that the world is about to enter the Chu-Han competition for hegemony, and will it be the kind that has been fought for decades?

For a time, the Liang Dynasty occupied the heavenly time, and the arrogance of the unification of the world was suppressed a lot.

It's early spring.

Although it was spring, the weather was still extremely cold. The soldiers in Shouchun City were still wearing thick winter clothes, standing guard and patrolling in high spirits.

During this period, although the Liang army had hundreds of thousands of troops on the north shore, both sides had small-scale conflicts due to Ma Chao.

The Liang army was unable to cross the river on a large scale, let alone attacking Shouchun City. The soldiers were raising their energy and had a high morale.

Cao Cao even opened the east gate and the west gate of the city to restore the production order in Shouchun City. Of course, the soldiers guarding the gate had strict inspections on vehicles entering the city, and it was difficult for Liang's spies to convey messages, or organize people to make trouble in the city.

The people in Shouchun City live and work in peace and contentment, and do not feel too much threat.

In the city, Cao Cao's temporary mansion, wearing thick winter clothes, was waving his spear in the yard, beside him were Xu Chu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others.

"Ache." Although Guo Jia was wearing thick clothes, he was still shaking coldly and sneezing loudly.

This sneeze made Cao Cao stop the spear, turn to look at Guo Jia, and say with a worried look: "Fengxiao. The weather is still cold now, so you can go back to the house first."

"No." Guo Jia responded weakly and turned around and left.

"Oh." Cao Cao sighed, and no longer had the interest in practicing spears. He handed the spear to his personal soldiers and returned to the study with Cheng Yu and Xu Chu.

Xu Chu pressed his sword to guard the house, while Cao Cao and his wife entered the study and sat down.

"As expected, although Chen Deng was in Guangling, he was preparing to ferry and pose for a ferry. In fact, he had no intention of crossing the river. Now Ma Chao is trapped in the city. Zhang Xiu can only occasionally send small troops to cross the river and transport some food and grass. It doesn't take a year. I can get tired of Ma Chao and then eat Ma Chao."

Cao Cao's face was filled with joy and said with great enthusiasm.

And not only Shouchun, Jiangxia, Xiangfan and Jiangling, but also defended extremely steadily. For a time, it seemed that the Liang army could not defeat even after ten years of fighting.

They have been fighting with Zhang Xiu for many years. They have been fighting and losing. They have been fighting in the north. Now that they are in the south, Cao Cao has a deeper understanding of what occupancy geography is.

As the saying goes, the time is worse than the place.

Although Zhang Xiu occupied the time, they had a good location.

How unhappy is Cao Cao?

Cheng Yu also nodded with a smile, and felt relieved. He also led the clan and Cao Cao to the south because of his loyalty.

This is to bet all the chips on Cao Cao.

Before the war began, he was very confident in the terrain of Jiangnan. But theory is theory after all, and now he has passed the test of time.

Liang Jun was indeed blocked from outside, which is of course a gratifying congratulations.

"Now I'm only worried about one problem." Cao Cao suddenly showed a look of worry and looked up at Cheng Yu and said.

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He was so steady now that he was as stable as Mount Tai. What else should I worry about?

"What are Ming Gong worried about?" Cheng Yu took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

If there is really a problem, then you must study it carefully and solve the problem.

"The situation is so good, the generals are proud." Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said happily: "As the saying goes, a arrogant soldier will be defeated, and pride will not be enough."

Cheng Yu understood that Cao Cao was joking with him. He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. He also felt a little moved inside.

It has been a long time since he saw Cao Cao laugh, especially when he laughed so happily.

Just in line with that sentence, people feel refreshed when they are happy.

Xiangfan.

Since ancient times, Xiangyang and Fancheng have never been separated.

The situation here is different from that in the Jianghuai side. Huang Zhong led 100,000 elite soldiers and went south to attack Fancheng. The battle between the two sides was very fierce, and both sides were killed and injured.

But with Huang Zhong's ability, he could not conquer Fancheng.

The guard of Fancheng was nothing else, but Sun Jian’s eldest son, Sun Ce.

In the city of Xiangyang, Sun Jian’s mansion and study room, Sun Jian sat in the main seat, wearing a green robe. He was full of energy and joy between his eyebrows.

"Huang Zhong is also a three-pronged axe. After several months of continuous attack on Fancheng, the offensive eased. But this is a matter of course. As the casualties and injuries expand, the morale of the soldiers will decline. There is very few army that can maintain high morale from beginning to end."

"And next. The situation will benefit us. When spring comes, the spring rain will fall intermittently, and Huang Zhong will not be able to conquer the city on rainy days."

When Sun Jian thought of this, he felt even more comfortable.

Before the war, he was very confident in defending Jingzhou and Yangzhou. However, he did not expect that things would go so smoothly.

Especially in the Jianghuai side, Zhang Xiu did not take advantage, and even let Ma Chao go deep into the army alone. Now he is trapped in Lixian County. As long as Cao Cao is given time, he can eat Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is a famous general of the Liang army. Eating Ma Chao will greatly boost our morale.

OK, can do it.

The Han Dynasty had not yet perished. The rise of the Han Dynasty began with Jingzhou and Yangzhou. First, he won the victory of defensive battles one after another, then went west to Bashu, and finally attacked the Liang bandits in the north and moved the capital back to Luoyang.

At this moment, Sun Jian's wife, Mrs. Wu, walked in with a bowl of black fungus and red date soup.

"Look, I'm so happy." Mrs. Wu twisted her waist and came to Sun Jian to sit down, smiled and put the red date soup on the table, and joked.

The marriage between the two was not happy at the beginning.

Sun Jian heard that Mrs. Wu was beautiful, so he came to ask for marriage. Mrs. Wu's parents died early and only lived with her younger brother Wu Jing.

The marriage of Mrs. Wu was decided by relatives. They disliked Sun Jian’s bad origins and did not want to agree.

Mrs. Wu thought that Sun Jian was brave and if she didn't agree, there would be something wrong. So she made the decision and married herself to Sun Jian.

I thought I would jump into the fire pit, but I didn’t expect that the couple had been with four sons and one daughter for decades, and the marriage was quite happy.

Mrs. Wu knew the general and had a lot of power. She knew the current situation and was beneficial to the Han army, so her husband was happy.

"I have to be happy. Although we are all famous, we fight Zhang Xiu, let alone take advantage of it, and we don't even have to tie the game. Now we can rely on the advantage of the geography to block Zhang Xiu outside Jingzhou and Yangzhou. It's really happy, worth it."

Sun Jian said with a laugh.

In fact, it is also a bit embarrassing. If you defend against the Liang army's offensive, you will be so happy? What is the future? What is the future?

But there is no way, who said that Liang Jun is too strong?

Mrs. Wu couldn't help but nodded. It was really not easy to think about it. Since the heroes attacked Dong, Zhang Xiu has been hailed as the world's number one general.

Whether brave or intelligent, they are outstanding.

It's simply a shadow of his enemies. It's not easy, it's really not easy.

"I'll make some side dishes tonight. Let's have a few drinks." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.

Sun Jian was slightly stunned, then happily agreed: "Okay. Let's have a few drinks to celebrate."

Jiangling City.

This city is originally huge. Since the Han Dynasty established its capital in Jiangling, the population in the city has been increased to a higher level.

During this period, after Liu Bei raised and strengthened the city wall, the big city had the function of a military fortress.

He was also extremely outstanding in guarding Jiangling.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others blocked Zhao Yun's Yizhou soldiers outside Jiangling. There were no riots in the capital of the great Han Dynasty.

This was also a great encouragement to the officials of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei's mansion in the city and in his study.

Liu Bei was wearing a white robe and a Liu crown on his head, and was full of energy. Jian Yong was kneeling under him, his expression full of excitement.

"Xianhe. You didn't expect that our progress will be so smooth this time." Liu Bei said to Jian Yong with a smile.

The pressure during this period was like a mountain pressing on his back. Now, as the news ahead kept coming.

Zhang Xiu's army of Liang thieves could not take a step forward. As time passed, his mood became better and better.

The Han Dynasty was preserved.

And it has opened up a new era.

In the past, we called Emperor Gaozu the Han Dynasty the ancestors.

Emperor Guangwu's Han Dynasty was the present Han Dynasty.
