If we talk about Gongsun Yanguo, because of its weak power, weak strength, small base, and little prestige, it was Liu Feng's first target.%&*
Then Yuan Zhao is Liu Feng's second target.
Zhao Guo, hehe, Zhao Guo.
In this era, Yuan Shao was indeed an extremely powerful person. He once controlled the three states of Hebei, including You, Ji, and Qingzhou.
The power of the four major states allowed Yuan Shao to dominate the world. At that time, only Cao Cao could compare with him.[
Remember, we are comparing, not competing.
It can be said that he was high-spirited. However, after the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao lost a lot, including hundreds of thousands of troops, Jushu and so on.
Later, Yan Liang, Wen Chou also fell one after another, and also lost Qingzhou. During the battle with Liu Feng, he lost much, much more.
However, even after repeated defeats, Yuan Shao was still Yuan Shao, and he was still tyrannical. Because when he established the Zhao Kingdom, Yuan Shao still retained most of Youzhou, complete Jizhou, and Bingzhou.
It can be regarded as occupying the land of three states, plus hundreds of thousands of armored men. Its influence in the entire world can be said to be second only to Liu Feng and Cao Cao, but higher than Sun Ce and Gongsun Du.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, Yuan Shao also felt a sense of spring.
You are called king. King Zhao. He has the support of the king when he goes in and out. He listens to the king's rituals and music. He wears the royal robes and wears the nine-pin crown on his head.
A great king.
How is this not impressive? Now, Yuan Shao also felt a chill. Because Yuan Shao also knew that after Gongsun Yanguo, he was the second target.
In the battle of Bingzhou, he lost Bingzhou, Huguan, high-ranking officials, and 100,000 elite soldiers.
The power was greatly lost.
In terms of power, he was no longer as good as Yuan Shao, and in terms of territory, he no longer had the Yangtze River moat that Sun Ce occupied. Moreover, after Liu Feng destroyed Gongsun Yan, he needed to notify several counties in Liaodong.
But unfortunately, Gongsun Yan's sphere of influence was blocked by Zhao. In other words, even if Liu Feng attacked Gongsun Yan's power, it would still be an enclave.
Maybe it can be defended, but there is a risk of being annihilated by Zhao. |
Therefore, after destroying Gongsun Yan, he also destroyed Zhao. He occupied Jizhou and the entire Youzhou, and connected the territory and power of the Han Dynasty.
This is completely necessary.
Therefore, in terms of necessity, strength of force, and whether there is a natural barrier, Zhao is the second target. Therefore, the chill Yuan Shao felt was not much weaker than Gongsun Du.
However, what makes Yuan Shao better than Gongsun Du is that Yuan Shao has more territory and a larger population under his rule. With more territory, there are more cities, and some big cities can be used as strongholds.
A large population means more strength, and the city can be strengthened even more.[
That's right, now Yuan Shao is learning Cao Cao's methods, building high city walls and accumulating food in vast areas. No matter how desperate he is, he still has to survive.
It would be okay even if I linger for a few years.
In this world, people grow old and have to face death. But there are too many people who can't look away. Now Yuan Shao is almost in this situation.
Although he knew that his death was not far away, he still didn't want to die.
On this day, the sky was gray, but it didn't rain. It was gloomy, extremely gloomy.
Yecheng, as the capital of Zhao State, experienced glory like Yuan Shao, but quickly fell into ruin.
Today's Yecheng is just more populous and more powerful than ordinary prosperous cities. But it is also more lifeless than ordinary prosperous cities.
As the war continued, many people and dignitaries became disappointed with Zhao State and were full of confusion about the future of Zhao State.
This makes some powerful people feel lifeless. But what about ordinary people? In addition to being lifeless, there is also a kind of eagerness to move.
The common people have deeper feelings for the Han Dynasty than the powerful. Now kings and generals have risen in the west and defeated the powerful Xianbei people in the north.
Stimulated by this news, the people's support for the Han Dynasty became even deeper. Naturally, there was some dissatisfaction with the rule of Yuan Shao and Zhao's forces.
Therefore, the people are ready to take action.
External pressure and the separation of people's hearts. It can be said that Yuan Shao at this moment is really worried.
"Creak, creak."
In this gloomy weather, a carriage was traveling from south to north. The wheels were in contact with the ground, making a rolling sound.
This carriage is extremely noble and extraordinary. And the owner of the carriage is even more powerful.
This person is Fengji.
That is to say, the current Prime Minister of the Zhao Kingdom is one person below ten thousand people in the entire Zhao Kingdom. However, the face of this Prime Minister is not very good-looking at the moment.
Because he received very bad news.
The carriage headed north and soon arrived at the palace gate. When it arrived, Fengji quickly got off the carriage and walked into the palace.
As the Prime Minister, I have the right to see Yuan Shao without notification.
Soon, Feng Ji arrived at the palace, a side hall commonly used by Yuan Shao. However, after asking a chamberlain, Feng Ji learned that Yuan Shao was not there.[
"Where is the king?" Feng Ji asked the chamberlain.
"It's at Wangyue Tower," the chamberlain replied.
Feng Ji smiled bitterly when he heard this, and went back to that area. The current palace was built on the basis of the former Yuan Shao's mansion.
Wangyue Tower is the place where Yuan Shao remembered the past. Yuan Shao often stood upstairs, watching the sun and moon, and recalling his life.
However, it was high-spirited back then, but now...
"well."
Feng Ji sighed, turned around and headed towards Wangyue Tower. Not long after, Feng Ji arrived at Wangyue Tower. This Wangyue Tower was ten feet high, like a palace with towers, prosperous and beautiful.
After arriving, Feng Ji went straight to the roof. On the roof, Feng Ji saw Yuan Shao. At this moment, Yuan Shao was facing Feng Ji.
That back figure is really very old, with gray hair and a slightly curved back.
Seeing this scene, Fengji's nose felt sore and he almost shed tears. He was such a high-spirited and unparalleled hero back then, but now, now.
"well."
Fengji sighed again.
And this sigh also alarmed Yuan Shao. He trembled and turned around. When he saw that the person who came was Feng Ji, a forced smile appeared on Yuan Shao's face and he said, "It's Yuan Tu."
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Changshan. There is someone who claims to be a captain of the Han Dynasty. He has raised five hundred troops to attack the county seat and kill the county magistrate. It is currently growing rapidly."
The moment he saw Yuan Shao's face, Feng Ji's heart ached like a knife. What an old face he had, like the bark of an old tree, densely covered with wrinkles.
However, Feng Ji had no choice. He suppressed the pain in his heart and told Yuan Shao the bad news he had received today.
"Ah, let's send troops to pacify it." Yuan Shao was silent for a moment and said.
Yuan Shao was used to this kind of situation. Every three days, people would raise troops for the sake of the Han Dynasty. There were wars everywhere.
"promise."
Every time I hear the words, I promise.
Immediately, Feng Ji said some words to Yuan Shao, including some comforting words. However, Yuan Shao did not listen to them.
Yuan Shao was not even sure when Fengji left.
At the end, Yuan Shao was alone again. He turned to the north, looked at the sky through the window, and was lost in thought.
How long can a widower live?
Yuan Shaomeng asked himself.
[Author's digression]: Well, let's announce the next update. Everyone can see that there are not many words left in the old book. At this time, the editor asked me to start a new book, so I had to devote my energy to conceiving a new book.
As we all know, everything is difficult at the beginning. The conception of this new book was especially difficult. Therefore, I had to slow down the update of the old book.
From now on, it will be about three updates every day until the end of the old book.
I hope everyone can forgive me.
By the way, the new book is also based on the background of the Three Kingdoms, but this time it is no longer the powerful prince Liu Feng, but a reckless warrior, a hero who can rival Lu Bu.
