At first, Zhang Ze was still a little scared.

After being afraid for a long time, you get used to it. So Zhang Ze gradually felt that he shouldn't be so afraid...

On the one hand, Zhang Ze expanded, becoming richer and richer, making Zhang Ze feel that he was omnipotent, just like what was often said in later generations: money makes people's souls become empty and their bodies begin to deteriorate.

On the other hand, because Zhang Ze is located in Hanzhong, separated from Guan by the Qinling Mountains, the area is relatively small, and the things he comes into contact with are also very leisurely. Even in Zhang Ze's eyes, the world is just this point in front of him.

The operation of society is not fully understood. To put it simply, the level of self-awareness cannot keep up with the changes in society, showing a kind of intellectual regression.

Self, arrogance, and pride, when these things gathered in Zhang Ze, naturally made Zhang Ze unable to see the future path clearly, thinking that he was still walking in the right direction.

Just like the keyboard warriors on the Internet in later generations, who feel that they can talk about anything, talk about it, point out the situation, and then show off their strengths, Zhang Ze, after the original fear gradually subsided, just

I feel that I can talk about everything, talk about everything, point out this country to Fei Qian, and then show off my ability to manage Hanzhong, saying that others are idiots, only I am awesome, and I am so awesome, Fei Qian

If he actually lets an idiot find fault with him, does that mean Fei Qian is also an idiot?

Hanzhong’s achievements today cannot be achieved without ourselves!

Zhang Ze thought so.

Therefore, Zhang Ze felt that his prestige in Hanzhong should be very high, and he thought that if something really happened, he could still have some confidence. He believed that with such rich local resources and the support of officials who have overall control,

With the Qinling Mountains as a natural barrier, Fei Qian's cavalry can be kept out of the mountains. If there is any problem, just block a few passages, and Hanzhong will become a country of its own!

What Zhang Lu couldn't do back then, Zhang Ze thinks he can do!

And if the situation with the Guanzhong offensive really becomes tense, Zhang Ze still has a plan to draw out the firepower...

Therefore, Zhang Ze felt that it was not false at all.

The only thing that needs attention is Huang Quan. Although Huang Quan has been driven all the way to Fangling by Zhang Ze in the past few years, which has deviated from the prosperous place of Hanzhong, there are still some people from Shangyong next door to Fangling.

The military academy left behind by Huang Cheng's military training, so if Huang Quan and these soldiers unite, it may not be easy to deal with.

Therefore, Zhang Ze felt that if there was any trouble, he would need to act first.

"Come here!" Zhang Ze ordered in a cold voice, "Send someone to ask Huang Gongheng to come! Just say that we have something important to discuss!"

The person who gave the order left.

Zhang Ze sneered twice. He planned to imprison Huang Quan as soon as Huang Quan arrived. If Huang Quan recognized the situation and was willing to cooperate, then Huang Quan could be kept to see his performance. If Huang Quan did not know the situation...

Humph, then don’t blame someone for being cruel!

Hanzhong! This is the land of Heaven and the Zhang family. The former Zhang Lu has not fully accomplished his work, but today he is here to inherit the great cause!

……(;￢＿￢)……

Zhang Ze was not the only one who thought he could strike first.

Cao Jun chased Xianbei all the way and took a lot of war dividends. Not only did he recruit the Wuhuan remnant soldiers who died after Nanlou as his younger thugs, he also paid a lot of supplies to the Xianbei people, especially

War horse.

All this made Cao Jun very excited.

After all, these are all real achievements, without any extravagance.

It's just that because of the launch of these military operations, the recovery and attack on Youbei must be followed up. After all, no matter how stupid Gongsun Du is, he will definitely notice something abnormal after receiving this news.

Once something unexpected happens, Cao Jun's surprise attack will turn into a tug-of-war.

The tug of war means continuous consumption...

Therefore, the only way to strike first is to strike first before Gongsun Du fully reacts!

But now there is another problem, the Ding Ling people plundering in northern Youzhou...

After the Ding Ling people tested Yuyang, which they attacked two or three times, they found that Yuyang was not that easy to chew. At least for the Ding Ling people who were not good at attacking cities, even the somewhat dilapidated Yuyang was still like a natural chasm, so they circled around it one after another.

He opened Yuyang and carried out a large-scale raid on the surrounding areas of Youzhou.

This makes the Youzhou area basically completely deserted now.

Starting from the confrontation between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, plus several subsequent battles in Youzhou, it can be said that most of the areas in Youzhou are ruined villages, with only some Wubao of wealthy families still remaining.

But not much. It looks like a bird shivering in the cold wind, panicking, and immediately fleeing into the mountains and forests at the slightest sign of trouble...

Of course, this is also the reason why Cao Jun saw no one all the way north.

Only the lifeless and abandoned villages can indicate that a place was once a densely populated and prosperous place.

The longer the menstruation lasted, the colder Cao Chun's mood became.

Cao Jun's soldiers were preparing to set up camp, while Cao Chun led his people into the deserted village.

It turns out there is someone here...

Cao Chun knew this in his heart, and when he was in Youzhou, he also came here, stopped there, and traded some supplies with nearby villages.

But now, this place has almost become a ghost.

Dusk has gradually enveloped the sky, and there is still a strange red color on the horizon, like a scar, tearing the sky of pain. There is no one in the abandoned villages, with collapsed houses and walls, decaying

The beams and eaves of the roof, and the broken tiles covered by yellow mud, some of which seem to have been overheated, stand dark in the corners, like wild beasts, hiding in the darkness, ready to take advantage of others.

when the time comes.

"..." Cao Chun stood in the village and sighed.

Is this fight the right one?

Cao Chun used to think that victory was the most important thing.

Kill the enemy bandits and take their heads. Blood stains the yellow sand, and the corpses are wrapped in horse leather.

This was Cao Chun's belief when he was young and went to the battlefield, but now...

"General..." Cao Chun's guard whispered from the side.

Cao Chun came to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The generals are gathered..." Guard Cao Chun pointed to the back.
