Chapter 1099: Princes of the World (1)

For three years, Shang Ji has been recuperating and practicing his internal skills hard, and the other princes are naturally not idle.

Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger who occupied most of Jingzhou like a shooting star, and then fell quickly, will not be mentioned for the time being, and the other princes have not been in vain these years.

The first is Cao Cao who occupied Luoyang.

Boss Cao spent all his wealth and gambled on Luo Yang. From the current point of view, it is obvious that the gamble has won.

Although Luoyang was demolished by Shang Ji and Diao Chan, and the important buildings were swept away, the main structure is still there, and a large number of Luoyang residents are still there.

As the former DìDū of Luoyang, the average quality of its residents is far higher than that of any other area. Some of the top ones were taken away by Shangji and Diaochan, but the remaining hundreds of millions of ordinary residents are still an extremely valuable asset.

Cao Cao is also a very courageous person. He listened to the advice of other people and used Luoyang City as a bargaining chip to vigorously "attract investment" and attract wealthy families to join him. He attracted a large amount of funds and technology, and Luoyang City gradually recovered three points of the past. prosperity.

At this time, Cao Cao's sphere of influence covered the Sanfu area east of Hangu Pass, Yanzhou except Taishan County, Jibei State, and Lu State (county, equivalent to the county), and the sphere of influence was expanded compared to the battle against Dong. several times. Especially the two places of Hanoi County and Henan Yin, which were the most elite areas of the Han Dynasty before. Although they have experienced the ravages of Dong Zhuo and the fierce battles of the princes, so that their vitality has been severely injured, the foundation is still there. After three years of development and construction by Cao Cao, they have also recovered. A little vitality.

However, using external forces for development is not without its drawbacks. People invest money, technology, and manpower, so it's not doing good deeds for poverty alleviation. While Luoyang City was prospering, a lot of power was usurped by aristocratic families. Cao Cao's army has gradually developed into a big alliance. Although Cao Cao is still the lord in name, he has actually transformed into the leader of the alliance, controlling the powerful aristocratic families under his command. Very limited (refer to Washington at the founding of the United States).

Now that Cao Cao is mentioned, I have to mention Cao Cao's "good neighbor" Diao Chan.

At the beginning, Diao Chan stabbed Dong Zhuo in the back, then retreated to Chang'an, and took the emperor to order the princes, which really surprised all the heroes in the world. But the surprise is the surprise, because of Diao Chan's gender, the princes didn't pay special attention to it, but as time passed, everyone gradually discovered that Diao Chan is really a powerful enemy for the world!

After the battle against Dong, Diao Chan, who joined forces with Shang Ji to evacuate Luoyang, had a much stronger start than Cao Cao, and his development momentum far surpassed Cao Cao.

The five counties of Hongnong County, Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fufeng, You Fufeng, and Hedong County were stabilized at an extremely fast speed, and then Ma Teng and Ma Chao and his son were successfully brought under his command.

The Qiang people who belonged to Dong Zhuo were also tamed by Diao Chan.

After that, Diao Chan personally led the army to fight, and successfully put down the Liangzhou rebellion in just one year.

But at this time Diaochan also met his opponent. After completely integrating and digesting Bingzhou, the God of War Lu Bu also shifted his attention to Liangzhou and Sili. The first beauty of the Three Kingdoms and the first general of the Three Kingdoms began to confront each other.

Diao Chan's opponent is not only Lu Bu, Cao Jun also joined in due course, and pointed his sword at Chang'an.

It's just that Diao Chan occupied the defense line of Hangu Pass, Cao Cao was very passive and failed to pose a serious threat, so he could only make a few small fights in Hedong County.

Of course, Cao Cao can unite with Lu Bu to fight against Diao Chan, and Diao Chan is not a fool, anyone can do the trick of combining vertical and horizontal, she turned around and began to unite with Yuan Shu and Han Fu to fight against Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

Both sides come and go, and no one can win the other.

Speaking of which, the most popular prince at this time is neither Diao Chan nor Cao Cao, nor is it Shang Ji who has been silent for three years, but Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu!

Sun Ce led the remnants of the Sun family to serve Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu's prestige rose greatly.

And Sun Ce led his troops to take effect, which also made up for Yuan Shujun's lack of high-end combat power to a certain extent. Yuan Shu immediately started the crazy and cool mode of hanging and blasting the sky.

Successively occupied most of Yuzhou, part of Xiapi County in Xuzhou, all of Guangling County, Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, Danyang County, Wu County in Yangzhou, plus part of Kuaiji County, and beat Liu Yao, who was a shepherd of Yangzhou, into a mess. Unbearable, there is only one and a half counties left under his command (a part of Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County), and he has become the most miserable state shepherd today.

If you count the Nanyang County that he occupied before, then Yuan Shu's sphere of influence spreads all over Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou, surpassing Shangji, and becoming a super prince whose sphere of influence spans four states!

Although there is no complete state under its name, the areas occupied by Yuan Shu are all elite areas, especially Runan County and Nanyang County. The population of any county can exceed that of any other state. Simply counting the population of the controlled area, Yuan Shu is this The well-deserved number one prince of the time!

Yuan Shu claims to have a mighty army of tens of millions, which means that the total force exceeds 100 million. According to the information sent back by Qian Huan, Yuan Shu really didn't brag this time, counting the garrison strength in various places, the total number of troops under Yuan Shu's command really exceeded 100 million!

Yuan Shu's performance at this time not only far surpassed Yuan Shao who was still trapped in the Bohai Sea, but even overshadowed Shang Ji's limelight. Many people believed that Yuan Shu was the number one prince in the world today.

But careful people will find that in just a few years, Yuan Shu successfully offended the four princes Tao Qian, Liu Yao, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao, and there is also an elusive Sun Ce under his command.

It can be said that in just a few years, Yuan Shu offended all those who could be offended to death.

Ignore Yuan Shuxuan's hidden crisis for the time being, and focus on the other princes.

Compared with Diao Chan, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu who were all in a good mood, the next two players who will appear on the stage are much more difficult.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian and Qingzhou Mu Kongrong (the original governor of Qingzhou, who was promoted to Qingzhou Mu by Diao Chan after the battle against Dong) became brothers in difficulty.

Tao Qian was also a shepherd of a state at any rate. He was robbed by Yuan Shu and dared not even say a word. He trembled under Yuan Shu's despotic power. Proper airbag.

Kong Rong's situation is not much better than Tao Qian's. On the one hand, he needs to be careful of Liu Bei in Taishan County, and on the other hand, he has to bear the pressure at sea.

In the past three years, the naval forces of the Shangji Army have come to Qingzhou waters for "training" twice in three days, showing off their might in the coastal areas of Qingzhou.

Kong Rong wanted to fight back, but on the one hand, he was worried about being retaliated more violently, and on the other hand, he was powerless.

The small sampans of the Qingzhou navy are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Pingzhou navy. Kong Rong also gritted his teeth and wanted to vigorously develop the navy, but every time he just started, he would be attacked by "pirates" and wiped out the newly grown Qingzhou navy in its infancy.

Can you believe in a pirate with such strategic equipment as a large building ship? ? ?

Whether Kong Rong believed it or not, Ling Cao believed it anyway! And also took the opportunity to strengthen patrols in Qingzhou waters, in the name of preventing the people of Qingzhou from being harmed by pirates.

Kong Rong's nose was crooked after hearing the explanation!

After coming and going, Kong Rong gradually gave up resisting and lay down completely, what do you like.
