Liu Yu is now doing his best to resettle the surrendered Montenegrin people. The people have begun to live a good life, but the lives of others are not so easy.

The news that Liu Yu sent troops to Montenegro and annexed it in one fell swoop and gained millions of people once again shocked the whole world.

Originally, all the princes were waiting to see Yuan Shao's joke. He dared to attack the Black Mountain Yellow Turban with 50,000 troops. They didn't know how much courage and courage it took. The princes all guessed that Yuan Shao would definitely fail this time. The result was just like the princes.

As expected, Wen Chou's army was almost wiped out, and he fled back to Jizhou in defeat. The princes privately laughed at Yuan Shao's lack of appreciation. In their view, it was impossible to attack Heishan without a hundred thousand troops.

In the end, the princes did not care so much about the news that Liu Yu sent troops to Montenegro. If you, Liu Yu, could have destroyed Heishan, you would have done it a few years ago, but would you wait until now? After reading Yuan Shao's joke, the princes were ready to watch Liu Yu again

A joke. However, there are countless slaps in the face in real life. The news that Liu Yu annexed Montenegro in one fell swoop left the princes speechless. The princes could not believe that Liu Yu's advance was so fast and his gains were so huge.

The princes hurriedly sent various spies to sneak into Bingzhou to find out the news. However, due to Liu Yu's blockade, the princes' spies did not find out any useful information. They only knew that a man named Wang Dang played an important role in this battle.

.Any information is useless now. The Black Mountain Yellow Turbans have been able to stay for many years, which proves that they can be self-sufficient. Liu Yu can digest and absorb them quickly. Liu Yu's strength has once again improved by one level after annexing the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.

grade.

The princes cursed Zhang Yan for being so incompetent, how could he be annexed by Liu Yu so quickly. If they knew that Liu Yu spent countless time and energy on annexing Montenegro, they wouldn't think so.

What is before everyone now is that in terms of military strength, Liu Yu can now be said to be second to none among the princes. Liu Yu can boldly launch an attack on any prince.

The surrounding princes began to feel fear and began to act on their own.

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou immediately sent an envoy to express his willingness to obey the court's orders, but he had some unhappiness due to previous conflicts with Liu Yu. He hoped that the emperor and King Zhao could forgive his mistakes and pay tribute to Liu Xie in large quantities.

In view of the abundant wealth, the emperor Liu Xie of Luoyang also issued an edict to forgive Gongsun Zan for his mistakes and asked him to continue serving the country. Liu Xie's edict did not have Liu Yu's consent, and in principle, Liu Xie did not need it.

After Liu Yu agreed, Liu Yu shook his head. It seemed that Liu Xie was growing up and began to have his own ideas.

Yuan Shao from Jizhou did not send any envoys, but deployed heavy defenses at various checkpoints near Bingzhou. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yuan Shao was worried that Liu Yu would launch an aggressive war in Jizhou.

Zhang Lu, a wealthy local man, even sent envoys to pay tribute to Liu Yu with more grain and grass in order to buy peace for the rest of his life. Why did Zhang Lu not pay tribute to Liu Xie, but to King Zhao Liu Yu? Zhang Lu was not completely stupid.

, in addition to having prestige, the current court has no soldiers at all. The court is unhappy, which does not mean that King Zhao is unhappy. And if King Zhao is unhappy, then the court will be unhappy. With this kind of political acumen, Zhang Lu

There are still some.

It is not Liu Yu's style not to take advantage of him. Liu Yu smiled and took the grain and grass paid by Zhang Lu into the treasury. He patted the envoy on the shoulder to express his absolute trust in Zhang Lu. At the same time, he appointed Zhang Lu as the general of Bashu on behalf of the court.

, the prefect of Hanzhong, fulfilled Zhang Lu's wish to continue to be the local emperor. Zhang Lu's envoy was overjoyed, and he would definitely get Zhang Lu's reward this time when he returned.

Han Sui and Ma Teng, who were fighting fiercely in Liangzhou, both stopped the war unanimously. Before Liu Yu made clear the next move, they had better save their strength first.

Yuan Shu, who was far away in Yuzhou, expressed disdain for Liu Yu's achievements this time. He was the one who got the imperial seal. He had destiny and didn't need to be afraid of anyone. Yuan Shu started his own ambitious plan and continued to expand his territory.

However, there was a guy who was short-sighted and gave Yuan Shu, who was full of confidence, a huge sap. That was Cao Cao who planned to capture Yingchuan.

When Cao Cao knew that the surrounding princes were unable to deal with him, he took advantage of this rare opportunity and launched a military operation against Yingchuan.

With the help of Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xun You and other strategic military advisors, after careful planning, Cao Cao secretly attacked Yingchuan. Guo Jia, Xun Yu and the others were all from Yingchuan and were familiar with this place.

Very fast. Cao Cao's troops captured Yingchuan with lightning speed and stationed troops in Xuchang.

Yingchuan was under the rule of Yuzhou. Yuan Shu had long regarded this place as his private territory. Cao Cao stretched out his claws to occupy Yingchuan. Yuan Shu was so angry that he got angry on the spot and wanted to argue with Cao Cao with 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Cao Cao had long expected that Yuan Shu would use troops against him, and was not too surprised by Yuan Shu's arrival. Guo Jia took advantage of Yuan Shu's arrogant character and designed an exquisite series of strategies to defeat Yuan Shu in the eastern suburbs of Xuchang. Yuan Shu was defeated.

He had to flee back to Shouchun with his troops and horses. Cao Cao successfully occupied Yingchuan, a blessed land with numerous talents, and created conditions for his hegemony.

However, Cao Cao's life was not very good. Yuan Shu was a dandy, and he would never let others get what he could not get. On his way back to Shouchun, Yuan Shu continued to burn, kill and loot, constantly destroying the local people's livelihood.

.If Cao Cao had not sent troops to pursue him in time, the entire Yingchuan River might have been turned into ashes by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was happy, but this behavior made most talented people lose confidence in him, resulting in the loss of many talents from Yuan Shu, laying the foundation for Yuan Shu's future defeat.

Cao Cao got a ruined Yingchuan, which was simply a burden to him. Unlike Liu Yu, he did not have rich treasury and food and grass to support the people's livelihood in the entire territory. The food and grass alone would make Cao Cao miserable.

Got very anxious.

At this time, Cheng Yu proposed to Cao Cao that all the prisoners should be made into preserved meat to be used as army rations to alleviate the food crisis.

Cao Cao originally disagreed, as it was a bit too cruel. However, the news of Liu Yu's annexation of Montenegro made Cao Cao feel a huge threat. If Liu Yu freed up his hands to send troops to Yanzhou, Cao Cao, who was in a food and grass crisis, would not be able to resist. For his own sake

Hegemony, Cao Cao also ruthlessly killed all the prisoners and made them into preserved meat. Cao Cao's food crisis was temporarily alleviated.

Xun Yu took advantage of his background in a wealthy Yingchuan family and used his personality charm to help Cao Cao obtain a large amount of food and grass.
