This world is very mysterious, this world is also very magical!
Before he understood the specific situation of this world, Lei Hu didn't want to make too much noise at all.
If it is true as he guessed, there are powerful people at the Golden Immortal level in this world, and if they act too high-profile and attract attention, whether it is good or bad, it will not be a good thing for Lei Hu.
Of course, he would not deliberately suppress the development of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, but would let it take its course. He wanted to see how far it could develop, but he just didn't want to take the initiative to get involved in the dynastic struggle for hegemony.
It's not that Lei Hu has never been an emperor, and he really doesn't have much interest in fighting for world hegemony. On the contrary, he is more interested in how far the Yellow Turban collar can develop to a level of civilization.
If the Yellow Turban collar can really be developed to a high level of cultivation and civilization, the majestic luck it can provide will definitely not be comparable to the so-called Great Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he did not impose too many restrictions on the surrounding princes' purchases of rune production and living utensils from the Yellow Turban collar, and he could look at the current situation in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty with a very calm attitude.
Cao Cao has the possibility of becoming the overlord of Guanzhong, and Yuan Shao also has the hope of sweeping the Central Plains and the rich lands of Jingzhou.
They used the purchased rune equipment to rapidly increase productivity. The food output within five years was comparable to the total food output in the past twenty years.
With a lot of money and food in hand, he is naturally confident, and the war potential of his army has also greatly increased, and he has widened the gap with the princes who are still in a primitive and backward state of production.
In addition, the strength of the princes in the north is far superior to that of the Han Dynasty, so it is only a matter of time before they become the hegemons.
As a symbol of the hegemony of a party, it must control at least two or more large states.
Not only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao took action, but Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who was almost crippled and whose strength was severely weakened, was unwilling to be lonely and sent his troops northward to bully the foreigners in the grasslands outside the Great Wall.
The effect of rune tools on improving productivity is astonishing. In just five years, Youzhou has had good harvests year after year. Although the foundation is still thin, Gongsun Zan has slowly accumulated a certain amount of money and food, and has recruited many young people from Youzhou to join.
The army's strength quickly recovered.
It's a pity that there was too much blood loss in the past. As a large frontier state, Youzhou has a small population. After experiencing foreign invasions and previous defeats, as well as being besieged by the Jizhou army, Gongsun Zan had a limited number of men and horses, and he simply did not have the strength to fight again.
When Jizhou competes, it would be good to be able to protect ourselves.
Although Gongsun Zan has an arrogant temper, he is not a fool who is not smart, so he naturally knows how to choose.
If Lei Hu were sitting in his position, he would definitely not make many big moves, but would concentrate on cultivating his internal strength. When his strength becomes powerful, he would be able to make any choice no matter what.
Obviously, Gongsun Zan did not think so.
Seeing that Yuan Shao's army was heading south with great force, and the territory had more than doubled in a short period of time, as an old opponent, he was naturally very unhappy. At the same time, he also had a lot of pressure, so he naturally wanted to increase his strength along with the territory expansion.
The way to expand to the south and into the hinterland of Han territory was basically blocked by Jizhou. As for Qingzhou and annexing Zhou Dynasty, it was not a good expansion option. In addition, Gongsun Zan had always been cruel to foreigners, so he directly targeted the outside of the Great Wall.
It is said that after several years of fighting with the Jizhou Army, the most elite Baima Yicong in Gongsun Zan's hands was destroyed, but there was a peerless general who came forward, none other than Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.
Gongsun Zan is not dead yet, so with Zhao Yun's temperament, he will not take the initiative to leave and join Liu Bei.
If it were in a normal world, it would make sense for Gongsun Zan not to notice Zhao Yun's martial arts for a while, but in the current world, martial arts can directly manifest magical powers. With Zhao Yun's strength, he has naturally caught Gongsun Zan's eyes early, and there is no way he can let him go easily.
.
In normal history, although Zhao Yun had been seduced by Liu Bei for a long time and had a great affection for him, he waited until Gongsun Zan was destroyed before joining Liu Bei's command.
In this world, one unparalleled general can be worth millions of troops. With Zhao Yun's martial arts skills, he made an early appearance in the frontier army of Youzhou Army and served as a senior general of the Baima Yicong. After the Baima Yicong was almost completely wiped out,
He still served as a general in the Youzhou Frontier Army, and performed extremely well in the battle with the Jizhou Army, and was highly valued by Gongsun Zan. He has always been a pillar of the Youzhou Frontier Army.
Gongsun Zan spent a lot of money to purchase a large number of rune production equipment from Qingzhou Huangjinling, which greatly increased the food production in the hands of the Youzhou frontier army. After accumulating a certain amount of strength in his hands, he also used the skills of a pioneer general in the process of sending troops outside the Great Wall.
effect.
With a silver spear crisscrossing the outside of the Great Wall, no matter whether it is Karasuma or the Xianbei Warriors, it is difficult for him to survive three rounds, and it is easy for him to become famous outside the Great Wall in the north of Youzhou.
As for the defense of Youzhou itself, they simply went rogue and, except for the necessary troops, simply transferred everything to their former junior brother Tian Kai.
Although Tian Kai had separated from Youzhou at this time, he had always been in contact with him privately. This time Gongsun Zan decided to expand his territory beyond the Great Wall, and Tian Kai was responsible for the basic defense of Youzhou.
Gongsun Zan saw some clues from the methods of Lei Hu, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and was sure that Lei Hu would not just watch Youzhou being captured by Yuan Shao, creating a situation where one family was the only one.
After seeing this, Gongsun Zan felt very uncomfortable, but he was completely relieved and left Tian Kai to take care of his retreat, while he led tens of millions of Youzhou soldiers and horses to rush outside the Great Wall.
Tian Kai was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, but he had no choice but to help guard Youzhou to prevent any accidents.
"This guy Gongsun Zan has resorted to rogue tactics!"
After receiving the news, Lei Hu, who had just come out of seclusion, chuckled and shook his head, and warned: "It's not impossible to help and watch, but Gongsun Zan has to express his opinions. I heard that he was launching a massive offensive outside the Great Wall, and those foreigners outside the Great Wall were beaten to tears.
It's terrible to see my father calling my mother, and almost no tribal forces can resist it, so let him send enough horses as a reward, and no one family will take advantage of him!"
The news came quickly through special communication channels and reached the ears of Gongsun Zan when he was on the march and fighting, overwhelming the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall one after another.
"Haha, Chief Lei is really straightforward, and I don't tell lies. I agreed to this condition!"
The entire north, including the hinterland of the Central Plains, was in chaos. There were raging wars everywhere, demonstrating the lofty ambitions of the princes.
It can be said that the princes around Qingzhou Huangjin collar are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan took the initiative to expand their territories while their own foundations were greatly increased. The Liu Bei Group in Xuzhou and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in Huainan did not stop at all...
