Among the twenty-two princes in Kanto, Gongsun Zan was not the most powerful one. In terms of power, it was just a medium-to-higher one.

The strength here does not only include military concepts such as military strength and courage.

The total economic and livelihood of the people, such as the size of the territory, the population, the money and grain conditions, etc. Youzhou is a bitter and poor place, which is almost the same as Liangzhou and Bingzhou. At the same time, it is very weak in all aspects due to long-term harassment by foreign tribes. Yuyang, where Gongsun Zan is located, has just experienced a war, and his foundation is also very poor.

What can be rated as medium is more because of the strong combat power of Baima Yichou.

As soon as Gongsun Zan died, the destruction of the White Horse Yicong also officially announced the complete disintegration of the alliance of princes.

Yuan Shao and Liu Yu obtained understanding, but it did not mean that the princes also understood each other. As Liu Yu occupied Yuyang, the struggle between the princes also began.

Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was one of the twenty-two princes.

After lent Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, borrowed grain but failed, he developed a murderous intention and invited Qiao Mao to Yanzhou Prefecture to discuss the matter.

Qiao Mao really went there!

Are you talking about him being stupid? Qiao Mao is not stupid at all. But the capital of Yanzhou is located in Changyi, Shanyang, which is also under Cao Cao's rule. In Qiao Mao's opinion, Cao Cao would definitely not let Liu Dai do whatever he wants, so he went to the banquet casually.

Cao Cao would not wade into this muddy water.

In terms of official positions, Liu Dai is his superior and cannot afford to offend him.

In terms of affection, Qiao Mao had nothing to do with him. At that time, the princes met with Cao Cao in charge of the middle road, and Qiao Mao followed the Northern Army to fight. To be precise, that was Yuan Shao's man. Yuan Shao had just threatened Cao Cao, so how could Cao Cao pay attention?

Now, on the pretext of patrolling, Qiao Mao left Changyi the night before he arrived.

The area of ​​Shanyang County is very large. It takes at least ten days and half a month to go out to inspect the military farms and understand the people's conditions. That is clearly telling Liu Dai: You are my boss, I don't agree with what you did, but I will not be with you.

In fact, Liu Dai also needed Cao Cao's attitude.

Cao Cao is so famous that he has many powerful generals and many advisers under his command. He really dares not cause trouble for Cao Cao easily.

Now, Cao Cao went out to inspect with a wink, so Liu Dai let go.

The next day, when Qiao Mao arrived in Changyi, as soon as he walked into the city gate, he was rushed up by the ambush arranged by Liu Dai and killed by random knives.

Of course, Liu Dai could also wait until Qiao Mao entered the government office before taking action.

But in that case, Qiao Mao would definitely find that Cao Cao was not in Changyi, and he would be in trouble if he did it.

In this way, after Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao, he immediately announced the world and then transferred the capital from Changyi to Dongjun.

Cao Cao was very satisfied with this.

"As soon as Liu Yanzhou leaves, the lord no longer needs to worry about someone holding him back!"

In Kangfu County Government, Guo Jia shook the white silk fan and said with a smile: "In this way, we can prepare for the second step."

Cheng Yu immediately ordered someone to get the map and hang it in the center of the lobby.

"Jibo sent someone to deliver a letter, and Man Chong had already agreed to surrender to the lord, and Guan Hai entered Qingzhou and gathered his troops... However, from Shanyang to Qingzhou, he had to pass through Lu, and to Lu, there was a Rencheng Kingdom in the middle. If you want to take Qingzhou, you should take Lu first. If you want to destroy Lu, you need to wipe out Rencheng Kingdom first. The lord should not hesitate anymore."

Cao Cao frowned and said, "I know this too. Rencheng Kingdom is not worth worrying about. I can only order Yuan Rang to lead a team of troops and pacify it in tens of days. But how should this Lu Kingdom... be seized? After all, Lu Kingdom is a fief of the Han Dynasty, so you should not provoke an unknown army."

Guo Jia smiled, "What's the difficulty? The lord only needs to write to the court, saying that to quell the Qingzhou bandits, you must pass through the State of Lu. At that time, we... hehe, have you forgotten the false Taoist destruction of Guo, and you can use it as a reference."

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, the lord can take over Lu State and treat the Han family well, so the court has nothing to say. As for us, we can also occupy the righteousness. Isn't it a good thing to bring Lu State under the rule of Shanyang County? "

"But what will others think?"

"Yuzhou has no leader and is in chaos. The bandits in Runan are in trouble, and Yingchuan is intensified... And Xuzhou, when he heard that the Yangzhou governor Qin Jie was seriously ill, why not provoke Tao Qian and send troops to Yangzhou. The Jingzhou governor Liu Biao, this time he guarded Jingzhou, thanks to Qin Jie's help. Tao Qian sent troops, Liu Biao would definitely not sit idly by, and the three states would inevitably fight in a melee."

Cheng Yu couldn't help but take a breath and look at Guo Jia.

No wonder Xi Zhi recommended this person. In a moment, he had such a plan. Guo Jia is indeed worthy of being a genius.

The title of genius was called by Xun Yu by chance.

Cao Cao was even more full of spring breeze and praised repeatedly: "This plan for filial piety is indeed a great idea!"

Guo Jia also said: "When the chaos in the three states arose, the lord stood in Shanyang and took Qingzhou first. Then he returned to Yanzhou, pacified the situation, sat down and watched the tiger fight. When the three states were both defeated, he took advantage of the situation to advance to Xuzhou and Yuzhou to attack Jingzhao, and then Jizhou could be determined... As for Qin Jie, Yangzhou and Liu Biao, Jingzhou, it was not worth fearing. If the lord was worried that they were powerful, he could ask the prefect of Lujiang of Jiaozhi Shijia... How could Qin Jie watch the Shijia enter his Yangzhou territory?"

Cao Cao applauded and laughed when he heard this.

"I have filial piety and I will no longer worry."

Guo Jia was still calm and composed. His delicate face could not tell what he thought was in his heart.

His eyes stared at a point on the map and thought to himself: Junior brother, I have taken action, what do you think?

*******

Dong Qi couldn't help but sneeze and put down the wooden hammer in his hand.

On his naked arms, sweat reminiscent of light in the sun. It has been three months since I arrived in Anding. As August entered, the Central Plains was only slightly chilling at this time, but Anding was already the north wind, and it was quite cold.

The sun is bright, but it is also cold.

Dong Qi took the towel from Dianman, wiped off the sweat from his body, and wrapped it in his big robe.

"Uncle Second, what are you doing when you use a wooden hammer to smash the iron pile all day long?"

Dianman asked in surprise, but Dong Qi smiled and refused to answer. Dianman was different from him, and he was a person who could reach the end.

So the professor must go slowly with a hammer.

Especially Dian Man has been practicing with the army recently and has gradually reached a bottleneck state. As long as he can break through, he can understand the mystery of being light. If he tells him other things, he will inevitably divide his mind.

Sometimes, knowing too much will become a burden.

At least for Dianman, that's the case...

"Xiaoman, have you finished your homework today?"

When Dian Man heard this, he shook his head gently and said with a bitter face: "Uncle Second, can you not do your homework? I feel so sad when I listen to Mr. Hu's lecture every day. I also want me to practice calligraphy. Look at my hand, can I practice good handwriting?"

Mr. Hu is Hu Zhao recommended by Yang Biao and Huang Wan.

Hu Zhao is indeed a stone in the pit. Not only is it smelly and hard, but he has a very strange temper.

After being forcibly tied to An Ding by Yan Ming Shi Huan, he did not make a fuss or make trouble. He actually drew a portrait of Dong Qi and hung it on the wall of his residence.

Every day when I wake up early, I will beat the portrait with a stick.

During supper, he would throw a small arrow at Dong Qi's portrait. Every time he hits the key point of Dong Qi in the painting, he would drink a cup of wine.

When I get drunk, I point at the portrait and scold.

At the beginning, Dian Wei and others were extremely angry. Shamoke had several times to kill Hu Zhao with his sword, but was stopped by Dong Qi.

If Hu Zhao cannot be killed, Shamoko went to scold Hu Zhao.

Poor Shasha had never suffered such a painful thing in his life. He cursed for a few words, but Hu Zhao sat in the hall, took a sip of wine, and replied, cursing since noon, saying that at night, there was no repetitive words.

Moreover, the swear words are not dirty, and they also quote scriptures from time to time.

The most common words are: "Go back and read the book well, and then continue."

Every time, Shamoko was scolded and left with her face covering. But the next day, she would definitely come over and continue to scold her, and then cover her face covering her face.

This has become a common occurrence in Han'an Protectorate.

After fifty days of swearing, Shamoko won without a single victory. The only gain was that his face became thicker and thicker, and his level of swearing became higher and higher.

Dong Qi just lets him go. Sometimes Shamoke and Hu Zhao scold each other, and he and Dian Wei will listen.

In the words of Dian Wei: Too long-term knowledge is so damn long-term knowledgeable. No wonder Shasha has been sharp-tongued recently, and with this pot of old wine at the bottom, who is he afraid of?

In fact, is Dong Qi angry or not?

If you are not angry, that would be strange. Hu Zhao's scolding is very sinister, and he is damaging people by turning around. As well as Dong Qi's ancestors for the eighteen generations, he can greet him one by one without realizing it. On several occasions, Dong Qi really had the intention to kill.

But Yang Xu's words made Dong Qi excited.

"Wu Zhonghou, you are the first to be strong, Kong Ming is now consuming it with you. If you kill him, not only will you give him a good reputation for nothing, but you will also bear the bad reputation of killing wise men. Wu Zhonghou, have you forgotten your advice for seeking talents back then? There are some people like this. The more you get angry, the happier he is. You ignore him. When you listen to the joke, you can't scold anything by yourself, you will naturally calm down. Hehe, but this guy is indeed scolding wonderfully. I plan to let my dog ​​listen to it and have a long experience... Wu Zhonghou, this is an opportunity to test your patience."

Damn, your son has gained some knowledge, but I am going to be scolded by the side.

However, Yang Xu's words made Dong Qi calm down. Sometimes he even held Cai Yan to listen with him, laughing and laughing as if nothing had happened.

This lasted for two months, and Hu Zhao was also tired of scolding him!

One day, Wen Ji led the three-year-old Dong Ji through Hu Zhao's door, and Hu Zhao seemed to discover a new world, which aroused interest.

He pulled two children to recite the Book of Songs and explain the Book of Documents.

This knowledge of Hu Zhao can be described in the four words of being proficient in ancient and modern times. Under the influence of Cai Yong, Wen Ji was already proficient in poetry, songs, and even able to write good words that made Dong Qi feel ashamed. This time, it was right for Hu Zhao's appetite. Dong Ji, although he was only three years old, liked to listen to Hu Zhao explaining stories about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Policy.

In Hu Zhao's words, it is: "The prince is unrighteous."

No matter whether he is righteous or not, Dong Ji just likes to listen...

So every day I asked my sister to take him to listen to stories, and also learned the Book of Songs and Chu Ci, and could recite one or two poems.

This matter was soon discovered by other children in the Protectorate's Mansion.

From the age of Dianfu Dianyou in the 14th Five-Year Plan, Diancundian, who was smaller than Dong Ji, all came over and shouted to listen to the story.

Huang Zhong’s son Huang Xu, Liu Wang’s two daughters…

A group of children were blocking Hu Zhao's residence every day, chirping, making Hu Zhao unable to have a moment of peace.

Later, I started teaching, which was a very serious teaching.
To be continued...
