The battle report in Li Su was obtained by Zhao Yun in mid-March and sent to Liu Bei.

Therefore, the war information recorded above only lasted until early March, and only Lu Kang and Tao Qian died.

Of course, there are follow-up battle reports, but they have been collected in recent days. Because there is no landmark or phased major event, Zhao Yun has not sent it out yet. However, Li Su happened to come, so he just took a look at the first-hand information.

"Look for me quickly. Regarding the recent situation of warlords such as Sun, Cao and others, they must be connected to the post behind this mansion." Li Su had too many things in front of him, and he had just taken over, so he ordered Deng Zhi in the Record Office to help find it.

Deng Zhi followed Zhao Yun as a clerk for several months and was familiar with the copywriting files. He quickly found a follow-up for Li Su: "Please read the right general, this should be the one."

Li Su opened his eyes and found that there was not much follow-up content, but it was received three or five days ago. The record time should be from the war from early March to early April. It was very simple, but the coverage was very wide. Not only did it happen to Cao Cao and Sun Jian, but other warlords, but also to other warlords. Finally, it was equipped with a map of the sphere of influence.

Li Su read carefully and first read that after Sun Jian took over the entire territory of Lujiang County, he took advantage of the victory and pursued Danyang County after just a few days of restoration.

Among the civil servants under Sun Jian, there seemed to be many people who advised him to pay attention to logistics, to pay attention to the fatigue of the soldiers and soldiers who need to be repaired in urgent need, to restore their condition before attacking, and the persuasion was mainly Zhang Zhao.

But Sun Jian strongly disagreed with the opposition, believing that Zhou Xin had rescued Lu Kang before, and most of the reinforcements were annihilated by "surrounding the points to attack and aid". This is the weakest time for Zhou Xin to be the weakest. If it is repaired, it will only be even more difficult to fight if Zhou Xin is given time to recruit new recruits to serve as troops.

Moreover, his generals Cheng Pu Huang Gai, and even the younger generation of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, also supported the attack immediately, so Sun Jian crossed the river from Liyang to attack Dangtu on the tenth day of March.

The situation was indeed as Sun Jian expected. Zhou Xin tried to "annihilate the enemy at the beach" at the beginning and blocked Sun Jian's army's landing at Dangtu Port. Unfortunately, the troops' field combat strength was too weak and the navy could not defeat Sun Jian. Dangtu fell and the Danyang army lost thousands. Zhou Xin quickly fell into defeat and abandoned the peripheral counties and finally retreated to Moling.

Fortunately, Moling was the Jianye and Nanjing, which were later generations. The city was solid and the geographical situation was dangerous. Therefore, if Zhou Xin was in charge of the city and waited for help without getting into the trap, he could still hold on for a longer time than Lu Kang, and it would not be a problem to defend the first half of the year.

Zhou Xin was not without hope. On the one hand, he hoped that the newly appointed governor or governor of the Chang'an court would come quickly and gather the hearts of the resistance faction in Yangzhou. On the other hand, he hoped to wait for rescue from Wu County and Kuaiji County.

The previous one was waiting for a little hope. Since Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, was killed by Yuan Shu and Sun Jian last winter, the news has reached Li Jue and Guo Si during the twelfth lunar month.

Although they reacted slowly and were too lazy to deal with these, there were still many ministers in the court who were idle and had nothing to do. They repeatedly persuaded Li Jue to ignore it and to cause some chaos to the warlords who did not recognize the Chang'an court. Even the candidates were drafted, as long as Li Jue stamped them.

Therefore, in the first month of this year, Li Jue was persuaded by Taichang Ma Riyi and appointed Liu Yao, who lived in seclusion in the East China Sea of ​​Xuzhou due to war, as the governor of Yangzhou. Ma Riyi left Chang'an after the Lantern Festival, and came to Xuzhou slowly for more than a month.

Although there were constant wars in Xuzhou at that time, Cao Cao heard that Ma Riying was here to make trouble for "Sun Jian, who did not recognize Chang'an court". Based on the simple idea that the enemy's enemy was a friend, he still sent troops to protect Ma Riying so that he could find Liu Yao and sent him to his post. It was just because of Sun Jian and Chen Deng that Liu Yao was still on Cao Cao's territory and could not reach Danyang.

Liu Yao was unable to take office, so Zhou Xin had to wait for the support of Wu County Prefect Xu Gong and Kuaiji Prefect Wang Lang. Unfortunately, Xu Gong, Wang Lang had heard of Zhou Xin's previous defeat in rescuing Lu Kang, which led to the annihilation of the main force, so he took it as a warning and believed that "if you go to rescue Zhou Xin, it will be a good opportunity to surround and attack the aid of Sun Jian."

So Xu Gong and Wang Lang replied, asking Zhou Xin to work hard and persevere. They will send troops to camp in Wucheng, Yangxian and other places along the Taihu Lake, and support him spiritually. If the veteran Sun Jian really is tired and vulnerable, they will definitely take the initiative to attack Sun Jian.

However, Xu Gong and Wang Lang knew the truth that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold. They also knew that Sun Jian had great ambitions. Danyang County alone would definitely not be satisfied. If Zhou Xin really died, Wu County and Kuaiji County would not be spared sooner or later. So they just didn't want to lose their vitality on the head, and they didn't want to resist Sun Jian.

Taking advantage of Sun Jian's besieging Moling, Xu Gong and Wang Lang recruited new soldiers, expanded their troops, and recruited powerful people to prepare for war.

Xu Gong was ill and committed suicide and sheltered two abandoned generals with poor character, named Xue Li and Zuo Rong, both of whom were Tao Qian's old subordinates who fled from Xuzhou to the south. They recruited thousands of remnants of Danyang soldiers from Xuzhou under their command, and also recruited some new Shanyue soldiers in the mountainous areas in the southern Danyang.

Wang Lang reused Yan Baihu, a powerful mountain tribe on the border between Kuaiji County and Wu County, and gave him military rations and supplies, trying to recruit his troops to fight Sun Jian. Yan Baihu was stationed in Wucheng, Wujun, which is the Huzhou area in later generations, and his sphere of influence was mainly the Tianmu Mountains in western Zhejiang.

The part about Sun Jian in the military information briefing ends here. The latest development should be that Sun Jian controlled several counties in Jiangnan west of Taihu Lake, besieged Moling, and stalemates with Xu Gong and Wang Lang on the surface. This was in early April.

However, in addition to the war report, there are some diplomatic dispute information notes at the back. Li Su looked carefully and wrote about the "dependence relationship" between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian. A rift finally appeared, but the two sides had not completely broken up.

It turned out that as early as early March, when Yuan Shu saw that Sun Jian had completely taken down Lujiang County, he began to use his old skills again and asked Sun Jian to hand over the old base Jiujiang County and let Liu Xun, a general under Yuan Shu, serve as the prefect of Jiujiang. Only then did Yuan Shu be willing to continue to distribute food, grass and military supplies to Sun Jian.

But since Sun Jian had already obtained enough money to buy military supplies and food for one year in exchange for Changsha County, he would of course not be subject to Yuan Shu anymore. So he chose to play and disappear, pretending that because of the emergency of the war, the people were in Danyang in Jiangdong, so that Yuan Shu's special envoy could not find him and delayed the time.

Yuan Shu was really delayed by this hand for more than a month, and he thought Sun Jian had no time to see him and was not convenient to hand over. It was not until he heard that Zhou Xin was beaten by Sun Jian to look for teeth, leaving only the lonely city Moling, Yuan Shu was shocked.

Yuan Shu sent envoys again to find a way to ask Sun Jian to return his nest. He further asked Sun Jian to promise that "after Moling is captured and the entire Danyang County is returned to Sun Jian, Lujiang County will be handed over, and another general under Yuan Shu, Qiao Rui, will be the prefect of Lujiang."

After diplomacy was delayed to this level, Sun Jian could not escape, and finally showed his true nature, saying that he did not want to be a tool person anymore - of course, the specific lines were definitely not like this, and Zhang Zhao and others would help him with tactful excuses.

But in short, it is not back to Jiujiang and Lujiang, which is similar to Liu Bei's "return to Jingzhou after getting Liangzhou" in history. It is nothing more than "return to Jiujiang County after getting Wu County, Kuaiji County after getting Jiujiang County."

At this point, Yuan Shu finally found that Sun Jian, the tool man, was out of control, but he still did not make up his mind to turn against Sun Jian immediately with force. After all, Sun Jian is still very powerful, and the struggle between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao has never stopped completely.

Because Yuan Shu didn't know that Sun Jian had a new logistics source and large amounts of money and grain inventory, under such intelligence asymmetry, his first choice was naturally to "not send food and grass to Sun Jian and continue to impose an economic blockade on Sun Jian."

Yuan Shu felt that it was only April, and Sun Jian had no stable source of military rations. It was the time when Sun Jian was the weakest when he was hungry until the autumn harvest in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. If he had to endure the military threat, he had to endure that time.

"Yuan Shu is unscheming. Since Sun Jian dares to turn against him, he must have kept his hands on the logistics preparations. He actually naively thought that he could make Sun Jian surrender by cutting off food. It is only April now, and Sun Jian is besieging Moling. It seems that Danyang, Wujun and Kuaiji are probably in danger within this year."

Li Su hidden the file in front of him and shook his head and sighed. However, he was quite curious about why other warlords did not respond to Sun Jian's expansion, so he found a few briefings on Cao Cao's recent situation and read it.

After reading it, I realized that Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses in the process of killing Tao Qian. Xia Pi City siege took half a year to conquer it. The military rations were consumed greatly, and the local plundered the people of Xuzhou hated Cao Cao, resulting in the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou within Cao Cao's jurisdiction rekindled again.

In history, the Qingzhou army in Cao Cao's territory was also when Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought to death, and the people were too burdened, so they reconciled again. It was simply that the scale and strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in this life were much weaker than that of the same period in history.

Moreover, this time, not only the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou caused rebellion, but also a small group of famous scholars who were dissatisfied with Cao Cao's massacre of the city chose to stand up. Pei County Bian Ren first raised the flag to resist Cao Cao, and then Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao and famous scholar Chen Gong also caused rebellion. These people have defected to Lu Bu in history, almost completely extinguished Yanzhou. Now Lu Bu and Liu Bei did not come, and they have no foreign aid, but the hidden conflicts have not disappeared, so they chose to fight each other.

Cao Cao had to turn back to suppress the internal affairs. He estimated that he would digest the territory for the remaining eight months this year and would be unable to use troops to the outside world.

Moreover, Xuzhou, which Cao Cao took over, was also relatively broken and seemed to not provide much population. Xuzhou was originally the fifth-most populous state in the Eastern Han Dynasty, second only to the Xiping period of Emperor Ling, before the world was in chaos, Xuzhou had only 2.7 million people.

After the first wave of Yellow Turban Rebellion in Zhang Jiaoshi, the later Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou spread, and the influx of Qingzhou refugees, when Tao Qian became a prefect of the prefecture, there were still about 2.4 million people in Xuzhou.

In the nearly one year of the battle in Xuzhou, Cao Cao had several waves of massacres, especially in the end, Xia Pi City killed more than 100,000 people at one time, and including those who died in battle on the battlefield, a total of 400,000 people died in Xuzhou.

The population losses caused by large-scale massacres were not only directly cut to death, but also a considerable proportion of the plague spread, and another 200,000 to 300,000 people died of the epidemic, plus hundreds of thousands of fugitives - mainly because they were immigrated by Mi Zhu's usury fleet.

After the war, Xuzhou almost paid the price of halving its household registration, and only 120 to 300,000 people were in charge of Cao Cao.

However, after the massacre of Xia Pi, so many old friends were rebelled. Cao Cao, like in history, carried out profound reflection. Under the persuasion of Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, he said that he would not massacre the city in the future, and that he would officially implement the military farm system on his territory from next year.

Cao Cao also realized that his territory had expanded too quickly and was too smooth on the surface, which led to too many contradictions accumulated within. He had to slow down and digest the territory well.

Bian Rang was soon killed by Cao Cao. When Chen Gong saw that things were unsuccessful, he turned to Yuan Shao to the north.

It was also a coincidence that Chen Gong was originally a "famous scholar" faction, and it was quite consistent with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was using Lu Bu who came to attack the black bandit Zhang Yan, who had been investing last year, and wanted to annex Bingzhou this year. Yuan Shao sent Chen Gong to serve as a staff officer for Lu Bu and help Lu Bu beat Zhang Yan together.

In history, when Zhang Yan was suppressed and beaten by Lu Bu and was in danger, Yuan Shao was afraid that "after Lu Bu destroyed Zhang Yan, he was in seclusion and relied on Bingzhou." So he sent assassins to assassinate Lu Bu and annex Bingzhou alone on the eve of his victory, so as not to betray him by Lu Bu, a capricious villain in the future. However, Lu Bu was very skilled in martial arts and killed Yuan Shao's assassin, which broke up and later went to Yanzhou and conspired with Chen Gong.

Now it turns out that Zhang Yan has not been destroyed yet. Chen Gong has been driven away by Cao Cao and came to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao, and was arranged to the Bingzhou battlefield. So he changed from "Lu Bu to Chen Gong" to "Chen Gong to join Lu Bu".

Chen Gong vowed to Yuan Shao to control Lu Bu and let Yuan Shao not destroy the Great Wall by himself. Yuan Shao actually took advantage of the fact that "Chen Gong is a famous scholar with loyalty and righteousness, and should be devoted to Yuan's family." He temporarily tolerated Chen Gong and Lu Bu, allowing these two people to make contributions to Yuan Shao with peace of mind.

This change allowed Yuan Shao to gain the benefits of power and territory in advance. As for whether there would be mines inside due to this, it is unknown.

At least at present, Yuan Shao has great hope of unifying Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou. It is still faster than Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and is still the largest force in the world. As long as Yuan Shao and Lu Bu do not turn against each other, Zhang Yan will not survive in a year with such a strong joint attack.

After Bian Rang was killed and Chen Gong fled, there was only Zhang Miao left on Cao Cao's traitor.

Because Zhang Miao offended Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he looked down on Yuan Shu and no one could join him. He had to go along Guandu, so he ran alone to escape from Hulao Pass, and surrendered to Henan Yin Zhu Yan, and survived.

Seeing that Zhu Ye was an old senior, Cao Cao did not dare to treat Zhu Ye, so he had to let Zhu Ye protect Zhang Miao, so he continued to confront him through Hulao Pass and divide the territory.

Zhang Miao felt that he should be safe, but he did not notice his biggest hidden danger, that is, Zhu Ye was too old and had few years of life left.

After all, Zhu Yan is an older generation. Lu Zhi, who is the three heroes of the Yellow Turbans, died of illness last year. Huangfu Song heard that he was also in serious illness this year, and the medical officer probably lived for only one or two years. Zhu Yan's health was only slightly better than Huangfu Song, but he was unable to fight all directions. He just guarded the surrounding areas of Luoyang, which were completely burned by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and was just a self-defense person.
