The rest of the three years of construction and installation soon passed.


    Because of the grand wedding, the state celebrated it. In the next days, they took the sword and put on a look of recuperation.


    In recent years, Jingzhou has had good weather. In addition to the occasional disturbance of mountains, Yangzhou is also peaceful, rich in materials and people live in peace, so it can support the strange expedition to Guanzhong.


    This time, I stayed in Xiangyang for half a year. Every day, I accompanied my newly married wife to a gathering of young scholars, and occasionally went to Luming mountain to visit Pang Degong.


    Because Xiangyang City became more and more lively, Pang Degong moved to Luming mountain to live in seclusion. Sima Hui, however, could not pass because of the Academy.


    Pang Tong is already twenty years old and is old enough to become an official; Xiang Langdu is in his thirties. What are you doing in the academy; Shan Fu, that is, Xu Shu, has been with Sima Hui for several years. It''s time to graduate


    Zhuge Liang''s words are still 1.18, so he can read for another two years. Anyway, he is not in a hurry.


    Jian''an four years, until the summer, Qiji said goodbye to his new wife, said goodbye to Liu Biao and went to Jiangxia.


    It''s time to use the army against Yuan Shu.


    ……


    It''s not accurate to say that it was Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu escaped by himself.


    Since the war of Chen Guozhi, Yuan Shu has never recovered. It is clear that he still has a strong military force, but he is stunned and dare not use troops abroad.


    Cao Cao was afraid of him, and Lv Bu and Liu Bei formed an alliance again. Xiangyang didn''t have a face-to-face fight. Only one Runan was captured, but Xiangyang was the most powerful among the parties.


    Speaking of it, he still has a grudge against Liu Biao. In order to prevent Liu Biao from entering Jingzhou, he gathered heavy troops in Luyang to prepare for interception. If Liu Biao was stopped at that time, it would be hard to say what the result would be,


    Not to mention, he sent sun Jiannan to attack Xiangyang while Liu Biao was weak. Although there is an intention to continue to weaken Sun Jian, his original intention is still because he is dissatisfied with Liu Biao''s possession of Jingzhou.


    In addition, he declared himself Emperor without authorization. If he fell into the hands of Liu Biao, he would come to no good end.


    So after thinking about it, Yuan Shu felt that Shouchun was unsafe. When Huang Zu cleared the navy camp last year, Yuan Shu left.


    Due to the reduction of construction sites and the sharp reduction of tax income, Shouchun''s surplus wealth can not provide Yuan Shu''s luxury life, and Yuan Shu doesn''t want to stay.


    He is used to living a rich life. If he continues to raise so many troops, he should live a hard life, which he doesn''t want.


    But he also knew that the army was his proud capital. If there is no army, it is estimated that they will soon be beaten to the palace.


    If you can''t afford it, you can only raise it for others. Yuan Shu thought of Yuan Shao, the brother of the concubine.


    At this time, Yuan Shu has surrounded Gongsun Zan in Jicheng. No accident, Youzhou will start soon.


    At that time, the four states will be the strongest princes in the world.


    No, it''s the kind of court that has established an orthodox emperor and can conquer the world in the name of the court.


    Although Yuan Shu has always looked down on Yuan Shao, he has to say that he is a little worse than Yuan Shao. He is almost destroyed by others, and the details of the four generations and three princes are almost exhausted. Yuan Shao is moving towards the peak.


    Therefore, Yuan Shu wanted to use his remaining strength and upload the national seal for the rest of his life.


    So in May of the fourth year of Jian''an, he raided Shouchun, leaving tens of thousands of people to defend the city. With 200000 troops, he was ready to go north to Qingzhou to meet Yuan Tan.


    ……


    "Lord, you can''t let yuan highway pass." In Xiangxian County, Jian Yongshen said to Liu Bei.


    When Yuan Shu went north to Qingzhou from Shouchun, he had to pass through Pei state, then xiapi state, Donghai state and Langya state before he could enter the boundary of Qingzhou, or he should go to the territory of Cao Cao in Mount Tai of Yanzhou.


    But no matter from which direction, Liu Bei is the first to face and can''t be avoided.


    Liu Bei''s life is also difficult. Although he occupies peiguo and has his own territory, he has no possibility of development.


    Both Chen and Liang were occupied by Cao Cao. In the South was the nest of Yuan Shu in Huainan, and in the East was Lv Bu. He was born in poverty. Although he had strong generals, the combat power of the army was extremely limited. It will take more than ten years for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to grow up!


    Grass roots origin, compared with those trained by aristocratic families, there is a big gap. Huang Zhong''s family is not poor and powerful, but his strength in unifying the army is limited.


    Of course, it''s another saying that Lv Bu spent years in war and Ma Chao mixed up in the military since childhood. The troops under their command have strong combat effectiveness, but their talents are all biased, and their governance is very poor, which is far from being compared with the children trained by the aristocratic family system.


    With weak strength, Liu Bei doesn''t have a good way to deal with the aristocratic family. Even if the aristocratic family doesn''t cooperate, as long as there is no betrayal, he doesn''t dare to kill if he wants to. In other words, even if you know that someone collaborates with the enemy, you can''t punish them.


    Or his territory will be in chaos. This situation also appeared in Lubu''s power.


    Zang Ba, a mountain bandit, doesn''t care about this. He doesn''t care about self-reliance. He doesn''t care whether he can get support and expand his territory. If your family dares to make me unhappy, I dare to let you destroy the door.


    For example, Qiao County was originally the governing place of Yuzhou CI Shi Department, which was better than Xiang County, but Liu Bei did not dare to live in Qiao County, because it was the headquarters of Cao and Xia Hou. Although most of the Cao and Xiahou clans moved to Cao Cao''s territory, there were still some people left. Liu Bei could not move and dared not use them. He could only avoid them from afar, out of sight and out of mind.


    At this time, Yuan Shu was about to enter the boundary of Pei state. Liu Bei couldn''t decide whether to let Yuan Shu pass or not. He didn''t have many advisers, so he asked Jian Yong and Mi Zhu to discuss countermeasures.


    "But Yuan Shu still has 200000 troops. This is also his last family. He will be desperate to survive. Can we fence it down?" Liu Bei worried.


    "Lord, if you still want to fight for the world, you must stop yuan highway." Jian Yong said, "otherwise, once these people meet Yuan Tan, yuan Benchu is bound to recover the trauma he suffered when fighting with general Gongsun in a very short time. At that time, his army will go south, and the Lord can''t stop it."


    "Whether we can stop it or not, even if we stop yuan''s highway, we will hate yuan Benchu. Is it worth it?" Liu Bei asked anxiously.


    "Lord, don''t forget that when Yuan highway goes north, it''s not just us that should worry. So are Cao Yanzhou and Lv Bu." Mi Zhu said with a smile, "the Lord can quickly contact the two and unite to leave yuan highway."


    ……


    Liu Bei''s envoy soon went to Cao Cao and Lv Bu and invited them to join forces to stop Yuan Shu from going north.


    Cao Cao is naturally willing. Now Yuan Shao is about to calm Gongsun Zan. If he wants to expand, he can only go south to the Central Plains and bear the brunt. Otherwise, Yuan Shaohui would not be foolish enough to invade the grassland in the north or take Liangzhou in the West for his own friendship.


    Cao Cao is unwilling to give up. He has his own ambitions. However, due to the limitations of his territory, it has been difficult to expand. This time, he was willing to block Yuan Shu and prevent Yuan Shao from growing again.


    Lv Bu also agreed. It''s not that he can see it, but that he is greedy for Yuan Shu''s wealth. Cao Cao and Liu Bei both said that as long as Lv Bu is willing to send troops, all the wealth Yuan Shu carries belongs to Lv Bu.


    Yuan Shu plundered Shouchun and carried many treasures. Lv Bu immediately agreed. Chen Gong did not want Yuan Shao to continue to grow, and Xuzhou''s financial difficulties did not stop it.


    So Yuan Shu left peiguo on the alert. Seeing that there was no obstacle, he thought that no one dared to stop him. He was careless and was jointly blocked by the three parties in xiapi.


    There are a large number of 200000 troops and their combat effectiveness is still quite strong, but the problem is that Yuan Shu brought not only the army, but also a large number of accompanying personnel of women, children and family members, as well as countless vehicles transporting property.


    Many of these people have no strength to bind chickens. They are greedy for enjoyment and can''t eat the pain of marching, which has a great impact on the army''s morale. This time, Cao Cao was added to their opponents, so they broke down faster than the last eastern expedition to Xuzhou, and countless generals died.


    Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Lv Bu each gathered some prisoners, and even Yuan Shu''s family were captured by Cao Cao.


    Yuan Shu was frightened and wanted to die in his escape. After being caught up by Liu Bei, the only senior general accompanying him died in the battle. Yuan Shu coughed up blood and died. The imperial seal fell into Liu Bei''s hands.
