Chapter 110

Yuan Shao's next expansion target, one could guess with their toes, was definitely Jizhou.

The place Bohai is quite special.

Although it is the hinterland of Jizhou, it is also adjacent to Youzhou.

And the largest separatist force in Youzhou is General Gongsun Zan.

Appointing Yuan Shao as Youzhou Inspector is clearly provoking General Gongsun Zan's nerves.

Although this is an open scheme, it is very easy to see through.

But so what if it is seen through?

General Gongsun Zan originally wanted to expand his own power from Youzhou to Jizhou.

Appointing Yuan Shao as Youzhou Inspector instead gave General Gongsun Zan a reasonable excuse to attack Yuan Shao!

For the sake of protecting the country and defending one's own territory, right?

As long as General General Gongsun Zan is not a fool, he will definitely accept this invisible generous gift from Dong Zhuo!

And Yuan Shao?

In order not to be annihilated by General General Gongsun Zan, he can only rise up and resist.

But his strength suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Hulao Pass.

In the short term, he will definitely be in a situation of being unilaterally beaten by General General Gongsun Zan!

However, in the long run.

Because Yuan Shao has a large number of wet nurses from the Hebei aristocratic group standing behind him, I fear the odds of winning are still very high.

Besides the pair of enemies Yuan Shao and General General Gongsun Zan.

The same set can be applied to Central Plains warlords like Cao Cao, Tao Tao Tao Qian, Bao Xin, and Zhang Miao.

For example, appointing Cao Cao as Xuzhou Inspector and Tao Tao Tao Qian as Yanzhou Inspector.

Although these two will likely not start fighting immediately.

But their diplomatic relationship with each other.

Will still be affected to some extent because of this.

Gu Yi's scheme is truly vicious!

But Old Dong likes it quite a bit.

Thinking to himself, his own precious grandson-in-law is indeed capable.

That group of rabble in Guandong is all being played in the palm of his hand!

After discussing the strategy against the Guandong warlords, Old Dong kept Gu Yi in the Prime Minister's Mansion to dine together.

For Gu Yi, entering and leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion is now a familiar path.

His relationship with Dong Bai has also gradually deepened.

In other words.

Dong Bai's eyes are full of Gu Yi.

As for whether Gu Yi's eyes are full of Dong Bai, that can only be said: those who know, know.

……

After finishing lunch, Gu Yi intended to take his leave.

But Li Ru suddenly arrived here in a hurry.

And he was holding an urgent piece of intelligence in his hand.

Seeing Li Ru's expression, Dong Zhuo and Gu Yi instantly realized that things were not simple.

Sure enough, after Li Ru handed over the intelligence, the expression on Dong Zhuo's face changed drastically!

Yizhou Governor Liu Yan has been recruiting troops on a large scale in the Shu region recently and actively recruiting refugees fleeing from the north.

Besides this.

He also organized many soldiers skilled in climbing mountains and crossing ridges to cross the Hanzhong Basin and come to the vicinity of Xiegu Road and Baoxie Road to survey the terrain.

What he intends to do is already self-evident.

"How unreasonable!"

"It's one thing for that group of rebels in Guandong to be chaotic, but now even this fellow Liu Yan wants to launch a Northern Expedition?"

Dong Zhuo's chest heaved violently with anger.

Speaking of which, he and Liu Yan were old acquaintances.

Twenty years ago, when neither of them were high-ranking officials, they had once fought together in Bingzhou against the Southern Southern Southern Xiongnu.

Old Dong at that time could be called the typical representative of Countless Countless Xiliang warriors!

With muscles all over his body, plus superb martial arts, no one in the army could be his opponent.

And Liu Yan?

He was not a weak person either!

As a member of the Han imperial clan, he also had a relatively close relationship with Emperor Liu Hong, who had just ascended the throne at the time.

Liu Yan could have been a stable, useless marquis, but he insisted on visiting the battlefield multiple times.

In that battle against the Southern Southern Southern Xiongnu.

Liu Yan held a snake-headed spear and personally killed seven Southern Southern Southern Xiongnu armored cavalrymen, which could be called extremely brave.

And this was also the first time Old Dong saw such a brave member of the Han imperial clan with his own eyes!

After the battle ended, Old Dong and Liu Yan became good friends.

At that time, the world was not yet in great chaos, and Old Dong and Liu Yan were also relatively young.

But Liu Yan had once uttered the heroic words: "If not a hero, I will not scheme!"
