Chapter 488: The grassland war begins
In the original history, after the heroes attacked Dong, because the emperor was young and controlled by Dong Zhuo, Han Fu, Yuan Shao and the Shandong generals wanted to establish the most prestigious Emperor Liu Yu.
At that time, as long as Liu Yu nodded, the throne would be at his fingertips, but Liu Yu refused to accept it.
Han Fu and others saw Liu Yu's resolute attitude, so they asked Liu Yu to take charge of the secretarial affairs so that everyone could be appointed officials according to the system, but Liu Yu still refused.
From this we can also see that Liu Yu’s foolish loyalty to the Han Dynasty has reached a hopeless point.
Such a loyal minister could no longer endure Liu Hong's misbehavior. It can be seen that Liu Hong has really reached the edge of the cliff. A little carelessness may not only endanger the throne.
Liu Yu originally wanted to unite all the state pastors to dethrone the emperor, but just when he was about to make up his mind, Liu Hong took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Considering that the Han Dynasty really couldn't stand the trouble now, Liu Yu decided to solve the immediate dilemma first and put the idea of deposing the emperor in his heart for the time being.
Just when Liu Yu was having a headache dealing with Xianbei, the battle situation in Youzhou took another 360-degree turn, and Xianbei actually retreated.
After learning the news, everyone in the coalition forces was shocked.
The three-state coalition army only had more than 100,000 troops, while Xianbei had 400,000 cavalry. Xianbei clearly had an absolute advantage, but why did it retreat?
The reason is very simple. The three tribes of Xianbei are competing for the position of Shanyu. This time it can be said that they mobilized all their troops to go south. Jiefu left the hinterland empty, and Temujin took advantage of it.
Temujin, who had been wandering around Bingzhou, saw that Xianbei had revealed such a big flaw, and naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to defeat Xianbei and become the overlord of the grassland.
200,000 Xiongnu cavalry suddenly turned their guns and attacked the western part of Xianbei like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Xianbei was unprepared and suffered heavy casualties for a while.
On the other side, the Wuhuan who were attacking Liaodong, I don’t know if they had negotiated with the Xiongnu, but they also jumped out to get a share of the pie. Twenty Wuhuan once again attacked the eastern part of Xianbei.
Not long ago, Xianbei was the overlord of the grasslands, and no one dared to easily provoke the 400,000 cavalrymen.
However, without the slightest warning, Xianbei was jointly challenged by the second and third largest tribes in the grassland, and was in danger of annihilation in an instant, which no one could have imagined.
The situation in the Central Plains has been changing rapidly, and the situation in the grasslands is no less favorable.
After the leaders of the three Xianbei tribes learned the news, they all quickly led their troops to return for reinforcements, and the crisis in Youzhou was resolved.

Jingzhou, Lumen Mountain.
Late at night, Guiguzi stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking at the stars in the sky, but his face gradually became serious.
Seeing that the teacher was watching the stars, Zhuge Liang had a flash of doubt in his eyes, so he stepped forward and asked, "Teacher, didn't you say that the heavenly secrets are now chaotic and that it is no longer possible to detect the heavenly secrets from the stars?"
"That's right, but for you and others, you can still see something based on your teacher's conduct."
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Isn't this a clear statement that he is shallow? However, seeing the teacher's expression so serious, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be curious about what Guiguzi had discovered.
“Teacher, did you see anything?” Zhuge Liang asked softly.
After Guiguzi let out a long sigh, he slowly said: "The original intention of the hundreds of families in provoking this grassland war was to consume the strength of the grassland, but not all the foreign races are fools, so how could they follow their wishes so easily." Zhuge Liang and Gui Guzi, who did not agree with his views, retorted: "Teacher, Xianbei is an old overlord, and his background far exceeds that of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan. However, he was oppressed by the two tribes together, so he will never give up. I am afraid that this battle will be fought." Already?"
Guiguzi shook his head and said helplessly: "Kong Ming, don't forget that it only took Temujin one year to completely conquer all the tribes in Mobei. Now He Lian has just died, and the leaders of the three tribes are not convinced by anyone. It is the people's heart." How can we stop the two evil wolves of Xiongnu and Wuhuan when we are in disarray?"
Zhuge Liang's face also became a little ugly: "So, the Huns may..."
“That’s right, a great new overlord of the grassland will probably be born in this turmoil soon, and there will never be peace in Northern Xinjiang from now on.” Guiguzi sighed.

Nanyang, Wancheng.
In just one month, many major events happened, and Zhang Jiao's body had also been stolen by Jin Yiwei.
When "Zhang Jiao" was transported to Wancheng, the whole body had already rotted into an ugly shape, but Zhang Ning still recognized his father at a glance, and cried bitterly while holding the rotting corpse.
In the end, Qin Hao and Zhang Ning cremated the body together, and then Zhang Ning took Zhang Jiao's ashes to Jizhou, saying that he wanted to bury Zhang Jiao in his hometown of Julu.
Qin Hao was really annoyed by Zhang Ning during this period. He thought he had finally gotten rid of this clingy sister-in-law, but he never expected that Zhang Ning would come back again and still take the tasks assigned by his sister.
“Ding dong, during the early battle against Nanyang, I killed 9,000 enemies, captured 18,000 prisoners, and suffered 2,000 casualties. After deducting the battle losses, I was awarded a total of 250 summoning points. The host currently has a total of 8,550 summoning points.”
Bai Qi lived up to Qin Hao's expectations and conquered Nanyang in just one month. Now that the Nanyang family who fled Guanzhong has not returned yet, it is the best time for Qin Hao to show off his skills.
Nanyang had a population of nearly 2.5 million in its heyday and was truly the largest county in the Han Dynasty.
After Xiang Yu's massacre, Qin Hao's water attack, and Bai Qi's attack, the population of Nanyang was indeed reduced to a great extent.
However, after the Nanyang family was eliminated, the hidden population was also liberated, which barely offset this loss. Therefore, the total population of Nanyang is still more than 2.4 million.
It is not that easy to completely conquer a large county with a population of more than two million.
When Qin Wen served as the prefect of Yanmen, Yanmen had a population of only 200,000, and it took Qin Wen more than two years to completely conquer Yanmen.
Qin Hao has no foundation in Nanyang, and the population of Nanyang is more than ten times that of Yanmen. The difficulty is far more than ten times as simple.
“It’s time to start the summons again.” Qin Hao said with excitement.
Although Qin Hao has a lot of talents, he is extremely short of political talents, especially political talents who can be decentralized to the grassroots level.
There are 36 counties in Nanyang. If Qin Hao wants to completely conquer Nanyang, he must firmly control each county in his hands.
“Please host choose the summoning mode. Should you use summoning points or summoning cards?”
At present, Qin Hao has a large number of useless summoning cards in his hand, so he plans to use up the summoning cards first. After all, the summoning points have other uses, such as exchanging black technology.
“Use the silver summoning card first to summon force.”
This time it was really a big wave of summons, and there were quite a lot of people.
