Regarding the battle after the beginning of winter, Xi Yu didn’t take it seriously.

Although Yuan Shu has just gathered the Black Shirt Army and the Southern Huns, his momentum is at its peak.

But, who made this guy unlucky?

To be precise, it is impossible for a group of princes to watch the two brothers of the Yuan family grow bigger on both sides.

On the surface, Yanzhou is currently under the influence of a group of princes.

There is Yuan Shu in the south and Yuan Shao in the north.

To the west is Hanoi Zhangyang, then to the old capital Luoyang, to the east is Beihai Kong Rong and Xuzhou Tao Qian.

The whole Yanzhou is like being wrapped in dumplings.

Cao Cao is located in Yanzhou, and on the surface he seems to have no qualifications to compete for the Central Plains.

However, because of this, many princes somewhat ignored Cao Cao.

What's more, no one thought of it.

In just half a year, Cao Cao completely pacified the entire Yanzhou.

Without the invasion of the Yellow Turban Army, Yanzhou, which Cao Cao had just pacified, was now considered to be solid.

Although under the attack of a kind of princes.

But!

Yuan Shao in the north is currently in a fierce battle with Gongsun Zan, and both of them are currently eyeing Qingzhou.

The conflict between the two people cannot be resolved at all.

Yuan Shao wanted to become big in the north, but there was an incompatibility between him and Gongsun Zan.

Now that winter is taking a break, once winter is over, the competition between the two for Qingzhou will be in full swing.

Because of this, Yuan Shao couldn't care about Cao Cao in Yanzhou at this time.

On the contrary, in order to stabilize Cao Cao, Yuan Shao even had to actively choose to win over this little brother.

Probably, he did not expect that Cao Cao would be welcomed to Yanzhou by Bao Xin and others.

So much so that, as a former little brother, he directly pacified Yanzhou.

In order to stabilize Cao Cao, Yuan Shao has no time to care at the moment.

It is only natural that Cao Cao can borrow military rations.

As for Zhang Yang in Hanoi, he is now more than capable of protecting himself and does not dare to invade Yanzhou at all.

Kong Rong of Beihai was just a Confucian scholar. Although he was a prefect, he was not good at military affairs, so there was nothing to worry about. What's more, there was Qingzhou between him and Cao Cao.

When the troops from Qingzhou fled to Yanzhou, some of them naturally fled to the border of Beihai.

At present, Kong Rong is often threatened by the Yellow Turban.

Xuzhou Tao Qian is indispensable for a battle, but this guy is old, sitting in Xuzhou and not making enough progress.

At the moment, this guy is sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. Although he has colluded with Yuan Shu secretly, it is not a big threat.

And Cao Cao also took a fancy to Xuzhou.

It's Yuan Shu.

This guy is now almost separatist the entire Huainan land. Lu Bu had previously pledged his services, and recently he has gathered the remaining Montenegrin army and the Southern Huns.

It is inevitable that the momentum is rising.

The opponent's soldiers pointed their swords at Chen Liu. If it weren't for the depth of winter, they would have been eager to invade Yanzhou.

However, what Yuan Shu did not expect was that as soon as he marched into Chenliu, his food route would be cut off by Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

When the time comes, it will be difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, and it is impossible for Cao Cao to let go of such an opportunity.

This is exactly the case in history.

As Xi Yu's thoughts flickered, Cao Cao beside him took the initiative to add fire to the stove.

"My lord, although Li Jue and Guo Si are ambitious people, the imperial court's appointment as general and marquis is enough to appease them."

"Although the emperor is trapped, these two people cannot do anything to Dong Zhuo. I think the emperor will have nothing to do for the time being!"

Xun Yu thought for a while and said something on the side.

Xi Zhicai nodded, now that Yanzhou is pacified, it is the time for these people to secretly accumulate strength.

This 400,000-strong army can invade the Central Plains with just a little training.

But now, what Yanzhou needs is just a period of digestion!

"Lord, our only major enemy right now is Yuan Shu from the south."

After Xi Zhicai finished speaking, Cao Cao nodded.

Although he looks down on Yuan Shu on the surface, after all, he is the fourth generation and the third prince, and has a deep background.

In the past few years, throughout the Han Dynasty, many wealthy noble families have defected to the two brothers of the Yuan family.

Now that the two brothers of the Yuan family, one from the south and the other from the north, can achieve such an achievement, the reputation of the fourth generation and the third prince plays a big role.

Yuan Shu's military power is now at its peak, and he has great intentions of targeting Yanzhou.

"Yuan Shu is nothing to worry about!"

Xiyu said casually.

Hearing this, the three people next to him all turned their eyes towards him.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is a narrow-minded person. Although Lu Bu has only recently joined the army, he is obviously a little wary of leaving Lu Bu without using him.

The latter is also a proud and wild man, and will inevitably cause chaos. I predict that Lu Bu will abandon Yuan Shu soon."

"And if he wants to march into Yanzhou, Jingzhou Liu Biao will definitely not be able to sit idly by and ignore it. If Yuan Shu moves in the winter, he will definitely be defeated!"

Xi Yu spoke with certainty, and Cao Cao nodded as well.

"Feng Yi is right, Yuan Shu, but it's just a pile of dry bones in a grave!"

In the back hall, the four of them laughed.

The flames in the stove rise.

After this discussion, Xi Yu returned to his place of residence and never went out again.

In the winter of this era, all the princes had a truce, those who were preparing food and grass, and those who were preparing for farming were busy preparing.

The entire Han Dynasty seems to have calmed down a bit in winter.

In December, it snowed again in the sky.

The weather has become colder again.

Xi Zhicai was sitting in the back hall of his house, cooking wine carefully on the stove, while Xi Yu beside him was studying something by himself.

"Ayu, what did you do with that!"

Xi Zhicai was somewhat confused about his younger brother's sudden interest in carpentry.

Of course, Xi Yu has never had a few whimsical ideas since he was a child, and he has long been used to it.

The wine boiling on the stove began to steam, and Xi Zhi turned his head and began to look at the things Xi Yu was playing with, feeling a little curious.

"I want to make a plow!"

Xi Yu responded casually to Xi Zhicai, feeling a little helpless.

The winter of this era is still a bit chilly after all.

Although he doesn't feel very cold due to his physical condition, other people do!

In Changyi County in winter, there are almost no recreational facilities.

In addition to the heavy snow cover outside, Xiyu has almost nothing to do except moving around in the yard every day.

I have nothing to do, and I think about the spring plowing after spring begins.

Xiyu thought about it and decided to make Quyuanli.

After all, the current plows of the Han Dynasty are really backward. To use such plows, you need to use two oxen or one ox and one horse to drive them side by side.

Moreover, the efficiency is not high.

In comparison, Quyuanli is much simpler.

It can not help but save manpower and even improve more efficiency.

"Is this a plow?"
