The world is in turmoil and the situation is changing, sometimes just overnight, which is dazzling.

After Yuzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou became the most complex and intense areas of fighting in Han territory. After the standoff between Lin Han and Gongsun Zan, neither side was willing to send troops easily, and the standoff lasted for three months.

In just a few months, the situation in the world has changed significantly.

Some major events occurred during this period, some of which were particularly eye-catching.

While Gongsun Zan was confronting the King of Daxia, Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation and attacked the Changshan State in Jizhou.

After Fangzi and Gaoyi fell into Yuan Shao's hands, seeing that Gongsun Zan was unable to split his forces, he quickly advanced and captured Pingji, Luancheng and Yuanshi. One third of Changshan State fell into Yuan Shao's hands.

Yuan Shao did not stop there.

As the confrontation progressed, Yuan Shao's actions became bolder. He led his troops north to attack Shiyi, Zhending and Jiumen, took away half of the territory of Changshan State, and approached the northern part of Jizhou and Zhongshan State.

The Xuanyuan Guild suffered the heaviest losses during this period.

The Xuanyuan Guild defected to Gongsun Zan, and its power was mainly concentrated in Changshan State, Zhongshan State and the western part of Youzhou. When Changshan State was attacked, the villages of the Xuanyuan Guild members naturally fell into the hands of Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan's stalemate with the King of Daxia brought the greatest benefit to Yuan Shao.

Another eye-catching thing came from Cao Cao.

After Yuan Shu's defeat, the princes of Yuzhou rested and digested and divided Yuan Shu's gains. After a period of calm, the princes of Yuzhou began to recover.

Because Daxia sent troops into Youzhou, Gongsun Du withdrew the front line and withdrew the troops that had crossed the sea. There was a brief period of vacancy in Qingzhou areas such as Donglai and Beihai Kingdom, and no strongman took over.

Seeing this opportunity, Cao Cao seized Taishan County and led his troops into Qingzhou. He subdued the remaining Yellow Turban bandits scattered in Qingzhou and obtained hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan led the Black Mountain Army to surrender to Cao Cao, and the Black Mountain Army of one million people fell into Cao Cao's hands.

Once Cao Cao came to power, he had an army of hundreds of thousands and his power expanded to an unprecedented level.

Feeling threatened by Cao Cao, Zhang Miao of Chenliu, Zhang Chao, Yang Ji of Pei State, and Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, announced an alliance to jointly resist the threat from Cao Cao and guard against pressure from the Marquis of Guanjun in the south.

Kong Jun and Qin Linglong have been active in the central part of Runan, Yuzhou and some towns in Pei State for a long time, surviving in the cracks. Surrounded by giants, the pressure of survival is increasing.

In Bingzhou, Lu Bu united with the Royal Chamber of Commerce, annexed the forces of Zhang Yang of Shangdang, occupied Bingzhou and continued to grow stronger.

After Sun Ce captured Nanyang, part of Yingchuan and some towns in Runan, dividing Yuan Shu's territory and fortune, Liu Biao's power also expanded and reached its peak.

Compared with other forces, the force of Champion Hou Xiao Hange is the most peaceful.

After obtaining the three counties of Jingzhou and adding the Japanese country conquered by Guanjun Hou, Guanjun Hou now managed the three counties of Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Zhuyazhou, Jingzhou, several cities in the southern part of Runan, and the land of Qingqiu.

Although the Marquis of Champion has the largest territory, his battle-hardened army lies dormant and does not take the initiative to send troops to participate in wars or attacks.

If the Champion Marquis does not take the initiative to attack them, they naturally will not take the initiative to provoke that behemoth.

No one knows how strong the Champion Marquis is, and no one is willing to touch the hidden sword easily.

Some even believe that the Champion Marquis's background and true strength have long been sufficient to unify the world, but the time has not yet come and they have not started yet.

No one knows whether this speculation is true or not.

In addition to the princes in the Central Plains, there is another place that attracts the most attention from the world.

It was the war in Liaodong area.

The situation in the Central Plains was changing, but the Liaodong area did not rest.

After Xu Huang captured Xuantu County, supplies from the eastern part of Daxia could flow into Xuantu County.

Afterwards, Xu Huang led his troops to Xiangping to confront Gongsun Du, and proposed that Liu Yu attack the three cities of Liaodui, Xinchang and Anshi to cut off Gongsun Du's retreat and food supply routes.

As Xu Huang expected, after Liu Yu's troops cut off Gongsun Du's food supply, Gongsun Du ran out of food and retreated quickly from Xiangping to Xi'anping.

In the vast Liaodong, only Xi'anping and Fanhan are left. If we retreat further, the only remaining retreat is Lelang County.

Gongsun Du was no match for the enemy with his two fists and was at the end of his rope.

It is a pity that Gongsun Du, who once was a king and crossed the sea to attack Qingzhou, ended up in such a situation.

In Guangchang, Jizhou, Gongsun Zan also encountered difficulties.

food.

After months of confrontation, their food supplies were exhausted.

With Yuan Shao harassing them from the south and Daxia troops in Yuyang, their depth was shrinking and their overall strength was also shrinking invisibly.

If this continues, there will be only one way out: death.

"Lord Gongsun, confronting the King of Daxia is not a solution." Tian Kai said anxiously.

They all knew the situation they were facing at the moment.

Daxia grew by devouring the five countries. It has a vast territory, has been accumulating strength for a long time, and has extremely rich supplies. However, they have been in the consumption of war for a long time, and their logistical supplies have never been on the same level.

The war is at a stalemate, and the battle is about logistics.

The war in Liaodong was progressing step by step and achieving results. Daxia could afford it, but they could not.

"It's impossible for me to cede land to them." Gongsun Zan shook his head firmly.

"Lord Gongsun, there's a severe drought in Guanzhong, and the people of Chang'an are eating each other. You don't want to see this happen in Youzhou, do you?" Yan Gang, standing beside him, also spoke up. "It's harvest time now. If Yuan Shao encroaches on our land, we'll run out of food. Without it, defeat is inevitable."

Gongsun Zan's words got stuck in his throat.

When they pursued Zhang Chun, they used too much force, which eventually led to the rebels besieging the city.

He still remembered the scene vividly. After being besieged for two hundred days, the food and grass were exhausted, the soldiers in the city collapsed, and five to six out of ten of his soldiers were killed.
