The autumn of the second year of Jian'an is the harvest season again.
Under Lu Bu's rule, Zhugu, Zancheng, and Hanzhong all had great harvests.
The barns are full of grain.
The Huben standing army under his command has reached two divisions with more than 20,000 troops, and the county garrison has nearly 50,000 troops, with a total population of more than 500,000.
It is already a powerful force among the princes.
Just a few months ago, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and was immediately besieged by Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Cheng Lian sent by Lu Bu.
Soon, four armies broke through Shouchun.
In the end, Yuan Shu, who lost his troops and generals, could only retreat to Runan County.
All of Yuan Shu's original territory was taken by Cao Cao.
Yuan Shu's brother Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan in the north.
Gongsun Zan was driven to Liaodong and trapped in a corner.
As a result, Yuan Shao took the land of the four northern states into his pocket.
At this time, Li Guo from Chang'an was dead, and the situation in Guanzhong changed again.
The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan were divided and occupied by more than a dozen warlords, large and small.
Among them, the most powerful ones are Ma Teng and Han Sui.
Those who occupied Chang'an were Duan Xuan and Wu Xi who rebelled against Li Cui and Guo Bang.
They used the heads of Li Cui and Guo Bang and their family members to the Xudu court in exchange for the official appointments of General Zhennan, the governor of Chang'an, and the Marquis of Luxiang.
With the title of nobility, he can justifiably guard Chang'an.
For their own interests, these warlords each took some measures to stabilize people's livelihood and restore production.
Even with Chang'an as the center, the Sili area, which had been war-torn for a long time, gradually regained some peace.
On this day, Lu Bu was fishing by Zhushui again.
Diao Chan and Cao Min were not around.
Because they are all pregnant.
Only Lu Wan was by Lu Bu's side.
According to the standards of this era, Lu Wan was no longer a child, but a young girl who was approaching the age of hairpins.
But in the eyes of modern people who understand Lu Bu, she is still a child.
Lu Bu said he was fishing, but in his mind he was repeatedly planning his next move.
At this time, he decided to take Yongliang in Guanzhong first.
The reason is also very simple.
Although there are powerful generals like Ma Teng and Han Sui in Guanzhong, Liu Zhang in Yizhou is very weak.
But after all, Guanzhong is a patchwork of fragmented countries, while Yizhou is a real political entity.
And if you don't take Guanzhong now, Cao Cao or Yuan Shao will decide the winner in two years, and they will surely advance to Guanzhong after unifying Guandong and Hebei.
Then it will be difficult to enter Guanzhong.
It's just that I haven't figured out the detailed strategy for Guanzhong yet.
"Father, I see you have been fishing for a whole day and you haven't lifted up your pole.
I see you are not fishing, you are thinking about something.
What are you thinking about?"
Lu Wan came over.
"Children, don't worry about adults' matters."
Lu Bu glanced at her and said.
Lu Wan pouted and held the pet in her arms.
Lu Bu looked at the pet and asked in surprise: "Who gave you this thing?
Be careful of biting you."
Because he saw clearly that the pet was a giant panda cub about half a year old.
"Uncle Zhang Liao brought it to me from Hanzhong.

It's so good that it won't bite me."
Lu Bu remembered that he had ordered Zhang Liao to go to Hanzhong many days ago to supervise the military affairs in Hanzhong and Xicheng, and to deploy Hanzhong's northward defense against Guanzhong.
Lu Bu's general strategic policy is to fight steadily and step by step.
Even if he is about to attack Guanzhong, he must first arrange defenses for the dangerous passes in the Guanzhong area, so that he can attack and retreat, and have a well-founded advance and retreat.
At this time, a signaling soldier trotted towards Lu Bu.
Reported an urgent message to Lu Bu: "Report to the lord, great changes have occurred in Wancheng."
It turned out that Cao Cao began to march into the Nanyang area, and Zhang Xiu's Wancheng was the first to bear the brunt.
Not wanting Zhang Xiu to let down Liu Biao's hard work, Cao Cao surrendered to Cao Cao before his troops arrived.
After hearing the news, Lu Bu smiled calmly, thinking that Liu Biao should be more anxious than me at this time.
Sure enough, on the same day, Liu Biao's envoy came to Lu Bu, and it was Kuai Liang.
"Marquis Wen, I have to ask for something from you again this time.
That Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao.
In the future, Cao Cao's power will extend to our Nanxiang."
"Then what can I do?"
"Join with our Jingzhou army and drive Cao Jun and Zhang Xiu out of Nanyang area."
Kuai Liang replied.
Lu Bu originally wanted to tell him that there was still a chance to rebel against Zhang Xiu, because Zhang Xiu would rebel against Cao Cao later due to Cao Cao's rape of Zhang Xiu's aunt and other matters.
But thinking that Zhang Xiu would eventually surrender to Cao Cao on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, he gave up this idea.
With Wancheng in hand, it can not only guard the south entrance of Shang Yu Wuguan Road, but also create a buffer area between the area controlled by Cao Cao and his own valley.
Otherwise, after Cao Cao occupied Wancheng, Zancheng would definitely not be able to hold it.
Although the Zhugu defense line was impenetrable and airtight, Cao Cao would always feel uncomfortable if he was stationed in a place only separated from Zhugu by a water.
So he happily agreed to Kuai Liang's request.
Cao Cao entered Wancheng without any bloodshed.
Feeling proud, he celebrated his victory with a banquet with all Cao's soldiers.
After the banquet was over, Cao Cao became sexually active and did not bring his wife, concubines, or maids with him, so he asked his nephew Cao Anmin if there was a brothel in Wancheng.
This Cao Anmin is the best at pleasing his master and understands everything from heart to heart.
He said to Cao Cao: "With your lord's dignity, how can you go to a brothel for entertainment?
When my nephew came to Wancheng, he saw a woman with a beautiful face.
She was the aunt of the embroidered woman.
My lord can accept her."
Hearing this, he was overjoyed and quickly asked Cao Anmin to bring the Zou family for a visit.
Not long after, Cao Anmin took Zou to Cao Cao's residence by force.
Zou knew that this was Cao Cao, the prime minister of the dynasty, and was forced to sleep with him in the same bed.
After that, Cao Cao had sex with Zou every day in Wancheng.
There is no airtight wall in the world.
This matter quickly spread to Zhang Xiu's ears.
In addition, since surrendering to Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not value him as much as he imagined.
Rebellious thoughts were burning in my heart.
One dark night, Cao Cao and Zou began to have fun again on the bed.
Suddenly, the sound of "crackling" came one after another.
Then there were shouts of killing.
Cao Cao, who was doing daily activities like a teddy dog, suddenly felt a cold feeling on his buttocks, and then pain in his heart.
It turned out that an arrow had penetrated his hip.
Fortunately, the arrow entered through a broken window and was blocked by the edge of the window.
It lost its strength and did not penetrate the pelvis.

It only penetrated a few inches into the flesh.
Otherwise, Cao Cao would have died in Wancheng today.
When Mrs.
Zou heard Cao Cao's ouch, she realized something was wrong and put her legs away.
She asked in shock: "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?"
Then, she found that the other party's butt was covered with blood, flowing down his thigh, and at the same time, she heard the sound of killing outside.
The door was knocked open with a bang.
Li Dian, Xiahou Dun, Xu Zhu and others rushed in with their soldiers, shouting loudly: "Lord, leave quickly.
Zhang Xiu rebelled and suddenly attacked the Wancheng defenders.
We We were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses."
After saying that, Cao Cao, who was still naked, ran out.
Cao Cao endured the pain and said, "Take Mrs.
Zou with you."
Xu Zhu had no choice but to wrap Mrs.
Zou in a quilt, carry her and run away
