Time flies, and it has been more than a month since Sun Ce decided to absorb Shanyue and let the Shanyue people come out of the mountains and join their Jiangdong camp.

During this period of more than a month, the entire Han Dynasty also experienced many things.

The first is that we haven't seen Ma Chao and Ma Meng Qi for a long time. After getting the support of the players, they have broken through Jincheng and forced Han Sui to flee towards Wuwei County.

In fact, with the strength of Ma Chao's front army, it was very easy to defeat Han Sui, but Liu Xie suddenly felt that keeping Han Sui was more valuable than letting him die now.

As for its value, it was of course the Western Region Protectorate that had previously belonged to the Han Dynasty.

Yes, Liu Xie wanted to rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but he had no excuse to start a war with the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions.

After all, the Western Region is too big. If you rush in so recklessly, the battle line will be too long and logistical supplies will be difficult. Unless players are allowed to conquer the Western Regions, otherwise, it is impossible not to consider the issue of logistical supplies.

But now players mainly need to deal with the Central Plains princes such as Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei, so in the Western Regions, they can only let Ma Chao lead his people.

Ma Chao was indeed very angry at first because Han Sui killed Ma Teng.

However, without the support of players, Ma Chao never captured Jincheng. Instead, he was hated by Han Sui for taking the time to attack him twice.

Ma Chao, who had suffered a loss, quickly calmed down. After all, he had learned a lot from Liu Xie over the years.

As a general, it is very necessary to keep a cool head. Don't let emotions affect your judgment.

After learning that Ma Chao was calm, Liu Xie contacted Ma Chao and told him his plan.

After Ma Chao learned of Liu Xie's plan, Ma Chao was indeed a little dissatisfied at first, because he felt that the emperor had said before that he should kill Han Sui in revenge, but now he let himself go.

However, under Pang De's persuasion, Ma Chao suddenly felt that if he hated someone and wanted to take revenge on him, the best way was to plunge him into endless despair.

Really think about it, I deliberately let Han Sui go and let him run to the rear, while I led an army to chase him, and then took away the territory from him bit by bit, letting him watch him work hard all his life.

The territory he came down was all occupied by him. With Han Sui's mood, he would probably vomit blood in depression.

Han Sui was bound to die anyway, so letting him die in Jincheng now seemed to give him some advantages. Letting him watch his lifelong foundation collapse bit by bit, and then killing him seemed to make him feel happy.

Therefore, Ma Chao also agreed with Liu Xie's opinion. That's why Ma Chao let Han Sui go in Jincheng.

Seeing Han Sui flee towards Wuwei in embarrassment, Ma Chao smiled very happily.

In terms of Bingzhou, Zhang Yan has integrated the Bingzhou Army based on the Black Mountain Army. At the same time, Xu Shu also showed off his skills in Bingzhou, recruiting dozens of Xianbei and Xiongnu tribes, building ten large cities, and recruiting Xianbei and Xiongnu elites.

One hundred thousand cavalry.

It needs to be explained here that they are not the Xiongnu, Xianbei only has this, but the elite selected by Xu Shu from among millions of northern herdsmen.

These people are all over seven feet tall, covered in sinews, and are skilled in bow and horse.

Xu Shu also gritted his teeth and mobilized a lot of resources from various places to build a set of half-length iron frames for them and gave them to Commander Zhang Yan.

As a result, Bingzhou's military strength more than doubled, turning it into a powerful border state with 200,000 elite infantry and 100,000 cavalry.

Bingzhou changed from its former poverty-stricken appearance and became a powerful state and county that could intimidate the Xianbei and Xiongnu to the north and west, intimidate Jizhou to the east, and defend Sili to the south.

After doing all this, Xu Shu and Zhang Yan set their sights on Jizhou. They had been looking for opportunities to give Yuan Shaolai a hard blow.

In Jingzhou and Hanzhong areas, it is relatively quiet.

Li Jichen and Jiang Yi were still attacking Xiangyang in no hurry. They seemed to be waiting for something. According to the news from the previous report, the assassin sent by Cai to kill Liu Qi was captured alive by Huang Zu and the others this time.

Then, he sent people directly to Xiangyang.

When Liu Biao heard that his wife had sent someone to assassinate his eldest son, he thought he fainted and passed away. It took three days for him to wake up.

But after Liu Biao woke up, he could only stay awake for one or two hours a day, and he was still asleep the rest of the time.

Anyone with a discerning eye, seeing Liu Biao's condition, knew that Liu Biao would never survive Xia Tian.

As a result, waves of undercurrents arose in Xiangyang City. The center of the undercurrents were Liu Qi and Liu Cong. Cai Mao of the Cai family and Kuai Liang of the Kuai family were the driving forces behind these two undercurrents.

Realizing that something good was happening in Jingzhou, Li Jichen and others slowed down their attack after consulting Liu Xie.

If it wasn't for the purpose of putting pressure on Jingzhou, Li Jichen and the others would probably have gone straight back to Shangyong to watch the show.

It seems that what is about to happen in Xiangyang City has attracted the attention of everyone in the world.

Of course, what I say here is almost, not all, because now there is a person who feels that he is in more crisis than Liu Biao.

That is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Liu Bei felt that this year he seemed to be a little too old and failed in everything he did.

Xiao Pei teamed up with Sun Quan and Yuan Tan to launch a surprise attack on Lu Bu. Everything went well in the early stage. Several people chased Lu Bu and even beat him to death on the spot.

But then, who knew, Xiahou Dun suddenly appeared.

Boss Cao's army, in cooperation with Lu Bu, directly fought a turnaround in Dingtao County and almost wiped out the three families.

This frightened the three families and all retreated until the Battle of Guandu broke out. Yuan Shao lost the first battle, so he recalled Yuan Tan and asked him to invade Yanzhou and directly surrounded Py.

Knowing that Lu Bu had gone to Guandu and Yuan Shao had given him a promise, Liu Bei led his army and continued towards Jianping.

But who would have known that as soon as they arrived outside Jianping City and before they had built their camp, they were attacked by Zhang Liao and almost wiped out Liu Bei with his own strength.

After a lifetime of debt, I almost gave up my life before I had time to enjoy it.

Liu Bei was so frightened that he went to Sun Quan all night for help, but within a few days, news came from Jiangdong, which frightened Liu Bei to the point of dislocating his jaw.

Sun Quan, the heroic lord of the generation and the lord of Jiangdong, died like this? The one who is now in power in Jiangdong is indeed Sun Ce, whom they had harmed before.

At this time, Liu Bei seemed to see his father coming to pick him up.

But the next moment, Liu Bei received news from Jiangdong. It seemed that Sun Ce intended to continue cooperation, but it would take a month to prepare.
