After taking down the assassin, Su Fan banned all his abilities, and then asked Dian Wei to appease the camp outside.
Looking at this person, Su Fan remained silent.
Not to mention, Su Fan also knew who was responsible for this assassin, and there was no one else but Yuan Shao.
The same method as Yuan Shu the year before.
In the ninth year of Chuping, Su Fan intercepted Yuan Shu on the Yangtze River and defeated his army of one million. In the same year, Su Fan directly sent troops to Yuzhou.
In just half a year, Yuan Shu was defeated and only one county of Runan was left. Then a month later, he broke through Runan City and forced the opponent to burn himself to death.
Of course, this battle was not easy. After all, Yuan Shu still had strength. In addition, Liu Biao of Jingzhou was afraid that he would die and his teeth would be cold, so he sent Liu Bei to support a hundred thousand troops.
Unfortunately, Tai Shi Ci and Chen Dao blocked his army, and then the other millions of troops won every step of the way.
After capturing Runan, Liu Biao saw this and quickly recalled Liu Bei to defend Su Fan's army with all his strength.
In the tenth year of Chuping, except for Liu Biao, almost all of the south fell into the hands of Su Fan. Adding Yuzhou and half of Yanzhou, Su Fan could be said to occupy one-third of the world.
His strength is undoubtedly the best in the world.
At this moment, the whole world was shaken.
It was simply shocking. No one expected that Su Fan was so powerful. He had already become a blockbuster without even making a sound.
Even the powerful Yuan Shu did not last for a year before he was defeated and died.
As a result, the remaining princes in the world also panicked. Such a powerful Yuan Shu was defeated so quickly. They may not be able to fight alone.
Especially Liu Biao was the most panicked.
After all, he was the closest to Su Fan. Yuzhou was captured and the door of Nanyang County was knocked open.
For this reason, he could only continue to give Liu Bei power.
Originally, before him, he had always been on guard against Liu Bei and suppressed Liu Bei.
After all, Liu Bei's battle at Hulao Pass demonstrated the terrifying strength of his two brothers. If he was given too much military power, he might not be able to suppress him.
Therefore, after asking him to resist Sun Jian, he immediately sent him to Wuling County.
Wuling County was considered a remote area, and even if he was given the position of governor, he believed that Liu Bei would not be able to develop to such an extent.
In fact, this is also the case. In those few years, the other side barely built an army of less than 100,000 people.
Originally, according to the plan, he would continue to suppress the opponent.
However, Yuan Shu's sudden collapse made Liu Biao sick from fright. In desperation, he had no choice but to use Liu Bei.
Because without these two brothers, he didn't know whether Jingzhou could block Xuzhou's military peak.
Therefore, Liu Bei can only be used, but even so, Jingzhou's strength is only passive defense at best.
It is impossible to attack,
Therefore, Yuan Shao and Chaotang are the only ones left in the world.
After Yuan Shu was destroyed, Yuan Shao also sensed the crisis and immediately approached Yang and others above the court.
Although those people above the court like to fight for power, they are not fools. They can naturally feel the aggressiveness of Xuzhou's soldiers and horses.
If there is no alliance and one party alone, it may be difficult to fight against Xuzhou.
Therefore, ten years after Chuping, Yuan Shao and Chaotang jointly sent troops. Even Liu Biao of Jingzhou asked Liu Bei to send some troops to Nanyang.
It was also this year that the world once again recognized the power of Xuzhou and the power of Su Fan.
Since the war against Dong, there have been dozens of princes in the world. They did not expect that Su Fan would be so powerful in the end, but they had been hiding in the East China Sea and remained motionless before.
Even if Xuzhou was captured, it would only be five or six years after Chuping.
This year, Xuzhou's soldiers and horses were one against three, and they did not fall behind at all. You must know that the princes that exist now are all powerful princes who occupy one or two states.
Especially the imperial court, in the name of righteousness, also surrendered to the Ma family in Liangzhou, making the imperial court even stronger.
However, in this year's war, the three major princes were unable to stop the imperial army. The army of the imperial court was blocked by a group of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and Chen Liu was blocked from going any further.
Lu Bu, an invincible general, also met his lifelong rival Huang Zhong.
Liu Bei of Jingzhou suffered a fierce attack just after leaving Nanyang, which forced them to retreat continuously.
Yuan Shao was even more miserable because Jizhou was passively defensive.
Su Fan's million-strong army, together with Guanhai and part of the Yellow Turban Army in the Taihang Mountains, numbering three million, invaded Jizhou.
In the past two years, the Yellow Turban Army in the Taihang Mountains, with the support of Su Fan, kept causing trouble for Yuan Shao.
However, Yuan Shao lost a lot of soldiers and horses, although later Yuan Shao used his family's background to sneak attack on Zhang Bao's two brothers, killing one of them and seriously injuring the other.
He also used a trick to cause internal strife in the Taihang Mountains, which suddenly destroyed a large part of the Taihang Yellow Turbans.
But the delay of one or two years caused Yuan Shao to miss the best opportunity for development.
Su Fan's army was dispatched, but the other party could only resist with force.
In the year-long war, the two sides also experienced countless battles, large and small. Su Fan relied on his strong productivity and logistical support capabilities.
It began to continuously encroach on the land of Jizhou.
Even in a third-line battle, with a strong industrial base, Su Fan has no shortage of troops, weapons and equipment, and even more talent.
As his territory grew larger and larger, more and more talents poured in under his command. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Su Fan who was the most powerful.
If such a person doesn't seek refuge, why should he seek refuge with Yuan Shao?
Although the Yuan family has a high reputation, Yuan Shu was destroyed and Yuan Shao was now beaten back and forth, and their aura was no longer there.
In other words, the imperial court could still rely on its righteousness to attract some people, but compared to Su Fan's rule, it was incomparable.
First of all, there are as many aristocratic families in the imperial court as crucian carp crossing a river, and many interests are controlled by a few aristocratic families.
It is difficult for new people to get a good position.
However, it was different under Su Fan's rule. With the order to seek talents, all the children from poor families in the world rushed to Xuzhou one after another.
So no matter which one, Su Fan is stronger than the few remaining princes.
The war lasted for a year and a half. Jingzhou could no longer bear it and had stopped long ago. It could only huddle in Nanjun and defend Nanjun.
The imperial court was unable to advance in Chenliu due to the obstruction of Huang Zhong's army, and had to stop.
After all, fighting consumes a lot of money and food, and the imperial court now only controls Sili and Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is a bitter cold place with no profit at all, while the land of Sili, although rich, is unfortunately mostly eaten up by aristocratic families, and the court cannot get much money or food at all.
How to fight a war without money or food?
No matter how brave Lu Bu is, it is impossible.
Therefore, after one and a half years of fighting, Yuan Shao gradually fell into a situation where he was fighting alone.
Right now, we are at the end of our rope, so we are thinking of taking the last step and sending someone to assassinate him.
Su Fan continued to sneer.
