Chapter 1088 The world’s arms race

 Chi You and Zhang Dingbian were both killed in battle. Within a short period of time, the two forces in the Central Plains came to an end one after another.

Chai Rong and others had a deep hatred against Liu and Dou Duo and were unwilling to join any of them. After Chi You died in battle, he took the risk to break out, but in the end he failed to escape from numerous ambushes, including Chai Rong.

, Guo Wei, Fang Jinzhi, Guo Xing, Guo Ying and others all died on the battlefield.

These people were all subordinates who followed Guo Wei back then, and most of them were even relatives of Guo Wei.

The four generals Shi Wengong, Fengtai, Yuan Lang and Liu Yuan eventually fell into Xue Wanche's hands and were either surrendered or captured.

Zeng Gongliang, Zeng Gong, Ouyang Xiu, and Chen Shengzhi were all literati. Except for Ouyang Xiu who lived in seclusion, the remaining three were also accepted by Dou Jiande's forces and became minor officials in Dou Jiande's forces.

Only Ni Liang was left, and he disappeared in the end.

Others among Chi You's forces, Zhang Jiao's daughter, later Chi You's wife Zhang Ning, were unwilling to join Liu Bei's Qing Han forces. As Zhang Jiao's daughter, she was also a deeply affected person, and

Among the great Han people, there was serious opposition from reality to ideals.

Under the leadership of Zhang Ning, the earliest veterans of the Yellow Turbans, such as Bo Cai, Cheng Yuanzhi, Zhang Yan, and Chi You's confidant Yan Keqiu, set out on their way to Sizhou.

This group of people will inherit the legacy of the two generations of Yellow Turbans Zhang Jiao and Chi You and fight the Han to the end.

Finally, I sighed at Chi You's other two confidants Wei Zheng and Chen Zhen. They planned their lives for the Yellow Turbans, but they ended up like this. After the Yellow Turbans were destroyed, their hearts also died.

Moreover, these two people are not young, each is over 40 years old. This age is certainly nothing in modern times, but in ancient times they are almost considered old people, and they are unwilling to continue running around.

, chose to follow Chi You.

There was also the general Zang Gong. Because his brother Zang Ba was captured by the Han forces, after Chi You was destroyed, he had no choice but to agree to the Han forces' persuasion to surrender.

And the small number of people who survived by chance also fell into disgrace and looked for their own way out.

After this great war, the overall situation of the world was finally reshaped.

The Jin family is the largest one, monopolizing the seven prefectures of Si, Yong, Bing, He, Liang, Xi, and Yi, as well as most of Nanyang and two counties near Xiangyang. Half of the Han Dynasty has fallen into his hands.

If this were placed in the Warring States Period, it would be equivalent to the coalition of Qin and Zhao.

In the south, Zhu Yuanzhang was dominant, with two states, Jingzhou, which was missing half of Nanyang and Xiangyang, and two small counties in Yuzhou, which could barely be said to have the land of three states.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang became the real southern overlord!

However, facing the Jin army occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Zhu Yuanzhang's power was completely exposed to the Jin army's front.

In the Central Plains, Zhao Kuangyin became the new overlord of the Central Plains.

Of course, his status as the overlord of the Central Plains cannot be compared with that of Zhu Yuanzhang, the overlord of the South.

Although Zhao Kuangyin is said to be the overlord of the Central Plains, the two small counties in the southernmost part of Yuzhou are under the control of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the easternmost corner of Lu County in Yuzhou is under the control of Dou Jiande.

As for Yanzhou, let alone that. Taishan County controlled by Dou Jiande plus the part controlled by Liu Bei, half of Yanzhou was not in Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

Furthermore, finally, after having just experienced such a horrific war, it would take a long time to recover.

In the north, Liu Bei and Dou Jiande began to develop and successfully seized this opportunity. However, Yuan Shao was burdened by his character and lost the opportunity to absorb Cao Cao's blood. By the time he wanted to seize it, it was already too late.

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng also lost such a great opportunity and was dragged down by Li Tang in the east. After all, he lost an opportunity to unify the north.

As for the foreign barbarians in the north, it is a world where only the Manchus are injured!

First, Li Tang seized the opportunity to fight the Autumnal Equinox, and then Tuoba Tao took advantage of the split. Although Huang Taiji defeated Dorgon again and achieved unification, during this civil strife, all the

Qing Ye's vitality has been severely damaged.

The three major forces in the grassland are completely out of balance!

Of course, the reason for the imbalance is not only the severe damage to the vitality of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the more important reason is the rapid expansion of Yuan Meng!

Yuan Meng, who has set his sights on Central and West Asia, has entered a period of expansion. If it weren't for Yuan Meng's confrontation with the great empire of the Kushan Empire, Lao Li would definitely be unable to sit still.

……………………

The Battle of the Central Plains has come to an end. For Li Xiang, the war situation in the middle may be a mixture of joy and sorrow!

But at least for Li Xiang, who has returned to Sizhou now, he is happy that this year is another good harvest year.

"Ding, the dragon map skill has effect five. The luck of the host's force is constantly gathering and condensing. Every time the host defeats an enemy, it can swallow up a small amount of its luck. This skill can be used multiple times."

"Ding, the holy king has the fourth effect. If you are wise and become a king or emperor, you can invisibly increase part of the luck of the monarch and the country, making the country's national destiny more long-lasting.

Holy King Effect Five: If you are wise, you can accelerate the development of military, internal affairs, public security, commerce and other industries in your territory to a certain extent, and you will easily gain the support of the people and the loyalty of your officials."

These three skill effects usually seem useless, but it is this similar skill effect that seems useless at ordinary times, but it is actually the skill effect that has the greatest impact.

This type of skill effect reflects the true overall power of vision.

What is luck? For a country, unless there are natural or man-made disasters, isn't a good food harvest an extremely important part?

The development of various industries such as military, internal affairs, public security, and commerce, and agriculture is naturally a part of all walks of life.

The successive bumper grain harvests, coupled with the war between Yuanmeng and the Kushan Empire, allowed Li Xiang to stop the war in Xizhou in time and concentrate on cultivating his strength. Only then did Li Xiang have the confidence to take the next step.

If we say that Li Xiang was sneaky during the last massive military training, but this time Li Xiang will be fair and aboveboard. Not only must Li Xiang be fair and aboveboard, but he must also be public.

He still didn't believe it. He, Lao Li, was recruiting troops here and even visited the border from time to time. How could the princes from the north, south and central plains still sit still?

And if the other party can't sit still, what will they do? Of course they will recruit troops with Da Jin!

But if Li Xiang can sustain the arms race, can other princes sustain it for a long time? This is the foundation of a strong national power!

Especially Zhao Kuangyin, given the situation in the Central Plains, why should he start an arms race?
