Chapter 480: Twenty-Four Counties Taishou (II)

The five governors of the Yellow Turban are in charge of the land of the five states, and what these five people want to do most is the same thing, that is, to unify their own jurisdictions.

Except for Zhang Sheng, who controlled Yanzhou, none of the five major governors had a single state, and the worst of them was naturally Hong Xiuquan.

Qingzhou has jurisdiction over two counties and four countries, and Huangchao has one county and three countries, namely: Jinan, Le'an, Donglai, and Qi;

Jizhou has jurisdiction over three counties and six countries, and Dou Jiande has two counties and two countries, namely: Julu, Anping, Zhaoguo, and Zhongshan;

Yuzhou has jurisdiction over two counties and four countries, and Li Mide has four countries, namely: Liang State, Pei State, Chen State, and Lu State;

Xuzhou has jurisdiction over two counties and three kingdoms, and Fanglade has one county and two kingdoms, namely: Donghai, Langxi, and Guangling;

Yangzhou has jurisdiction over six counties, and Hong Xiuquan only has Danyang, Yuzhang two counties and several counties in Jiangbei, and the real essence of Yangzhou is still in the hands of the Han army.

As the eldest disciple of the great sage and good teacher, but now he is the worst among the governors, Hong Xiuquan naturally can't sit still.

Hong Xiuquan urgently needs merit to prove himself, so with a simple bewitchment of the hundred schools, Hong Xiuquan will be fooled.

After the war with Yangzhou Mu Liu Yao, Hong Xiuquan won four battles and four victories, and captured the land of Huainan very quickly.

Liu Yao's vulnerability surprised Hong Xiuquan, and even saw the dawn of unifying Yangzhou, so how could he listen to Zhang Sheng's words and honestly return to Jiangbei?

And after receiving the holy decree, Hong Xiuquan burned it after reading it.

This little girl, H really thinks of herself as the emperor, in fact, she is just a puppet who was temporarily pushed out by the master and temporarily stabilized the situation, and she wants me to obey Hong Xiuquan's orders, it's a dream! Hong Xiuquan sneered.

Others don't know Zhang Sheng's identity, Hong Xiuquan, who is Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple, still doesn't know, not demolishing Zhang Sheng is just because the yellow scarf really needs her, but this does not mean that Hong Xiuquan will be loyal to a woman.

There are not many people who know Zhang Sheng's identity, but there are many of them, and the reasons that they have not come out with tacit understanding are basically the same as Hong Xiuquan.

Under this strange tacit understanding, how long can Zhang Sheng's identity be kept secret? No one knows.

On the Yangzhou side, Hong Xiuquan directly ignored Zhang Sheng's order and continued to lead the army south.

The situation on Li Mi's side in Yuzhou is also similar to Hong Xiuquan.

However, although they are also resisting the will, Li Mi's superficial work is much better, at least he has found a reason, and it is past in the face.

In fact, although Li Mi occupies the land of the four countries, he is only slightly better than Hong Xiuquan.

The real essence of Yuzhou is in Runan and Yingchuan counties, these two counties account for 54 of the 98 counties in the state, and Liang, Chen, and Lu among the four countries are not big countries, and the only good point is only Peiguo.

Yingchuan is the stronghold of Confucianism, so the situation is relatively special, the Han army did not place many garrisons, and the Yellow Turban also deliberately avoided the Confucian problem, so Yingchuan has always belonged to the state of autonomy.

As for Runan, when Xiang Yu went south to Jingzhou, Li Mi had already taken and bloodied the Yuan family's forces, but after Xiang Yu was defeated, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to counterattack into Runan.

Runan was originally the territory of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shu's return was equivalent to the master's homecoming, and the county orders that originally surrendered all defected, so Yuan Shu easily recovered more than 30 counties in Runan.

After Xiang Yu was defeated, Qin Hao only captured Wancheng, Fancheng, Xinye and other counties to open up the passage to Sizhou, so most of the county seat in Nanyang was still in the hands of the Yellow Turban.

Li Mi originally wanted to take over Nanyang, but after Runan was occupied by Yuan Shu, Nanyang naturally became an enclave.

The temptation of Nanyang's piece of fat is too great, and with Yuan Shu's aggressiveness, Li Mi, who has always been calm, lost his mind, and even ignored whether he could swallow it.

After Yuan Shu subdued Runan, although he was not unable to hold it, he wanted to preserve his strength, so he asked the imperial court for help.

When the Han court learned that the Yellow Turbans were attacking again in two ways so quickly, they also felt great pressure.

The plague in the north has not yet been resolved, and the scourge of the yellow turbans has arisen again.

In the face of Daming's active attack, Dahan couldn't take it if he wanted to.

As soon as the spring grain was harvested, the Han Dynasty would not be unable to send troops, of course, but it was impossible to support it on a large scale.

However, it is not enough to send reinforcements, and once the reinforcements leave, the local defense is still a big problem.

In desperation, Liu Hong had to carry out the third canonization in advance, and most of the people who were sealed this time were Taishou in the south.

The first is the problem of Yangzhou.

Liu Yao really doesn't know how to lead the army, and in the face of Hong Xiuquan's repeated defeats, Liu Hong had to match him with a few helpers.

Sun Jian's outstanding performance in the Battle of Breaking the Yellow Turban, coupled with the fact that he was originally from Jiangdong, was named Wujun Taishou Wucheng Marquis.

In addition, in the battle between Liu Yao and Hong Xiuquan, if Lu Kang hadn't led the army in time, Liu Yao might have been wiped out.

Therefore, Lu Kang, a famous man in Jiangdong, was named Lujiang Taishou by Liu Hong, and Wang Lang Lang was named Huiji Taishou.

Yangzhou is far away from Luoyang, while Yuzhou is close at hand.

Luoyang has already been attacked by the Yellow Turban once, so Liu Hong will never allow it, and Daming will extend his sphere of influence under his nose.

Yuan Shu broke the yellow scarf to collect Runan, and was named the Taishou of Runan, and ordered him to block Li Mi to the death and wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.

As for the commander of the reinforcements, among the generals in Luoyang, Liu Hong chose Cao Cao.

It's not that Liu Hong doesn't trust Qin Hao, but that Qin Hao has already made too much credit, and Liu Hong is still having a headache about how to reward this son-in-law, so naturally he won't let him continue to lead the army.

In this battle to break the Yellow Turban, Cao Cao's performance was second only to Qin Wen, Dong Zhuo and Qin Hao, so he was not only named the leading general, but also awarded the post of Yingchuan Taishou, and was crowned Yang Zhai Hou.

Cao Cao went to Yuzhou this time to shoulder a heavy responsibility, all the previous Taishou, including the state pastor, led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to take up the post, and he was the only one who 'abducted' the imperial court soldiers and horses to take up the post.

After sealing Yuzhou, Liu Hong canonized Xuzhou and Jingzhou.

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, to protect the two counties of Pi and Pengcheng, named him Xuzhou Mu, the ninth state pastor of the Han Dynasty was born.

Chen Qi, a famous scholar in Xuzhou, assisted Tao Qian to repel the Yellow Turban several times, so he was named Pengcheng Taishou.

Jingzhou already had a state pastor, so Liu Hong only canonized the county guards.

Huang Zu was the Taishou of Jiangxia;

Han Xuan is the Taishou of Changsha;

Jin Xuan is the Taishou of Wuling;

Zhao Fan is the Taishou of Guiyang;

Liu Du is the Lingling Taishou;

As for Nanyang County, the largest county in Jingzhou, because it is next to Sizhou, but it is still under the control of the Yellow Turban, it must be recovered as soon as possible.

As for the candidate for Nanyang Taishou, Liu Hong thought about it and finally decided to give it to his son-in-law Qin Hao.

Liu Hong is quite satisfied with Qin Hao's son-in-law, and Qin Hao has made such a great contribution this time, and he really has to be rewarded.

Liangzhou is still in the midst of quelling, so Liu Hong missed it, and Yizhou was sealed several heroes to be the Taishou because of stability.

Canonized three times, Liu Hong sealed a total of nine state pastors, twenty-four Taishou, so far all states and counties in the Han Dynasty have masters, and the era of princes officially opened.
