From March to May, Han Cheng continued to recruit troops and horses, treating the soldiers in the Fenwu Army, those who wanted to defect to Yuan Shao, and those who did not want to follow, Han Cheng let them go home.

So much so that by the end of May, the Fenwu army had a total of 25,000 men and horses, of which the Qinglong Battalion, which was composed entirely of cavalry, had expanded to 4,000 men, and the Qiangbow Battalion, which was composed entirely of soldiers who were good at archery, had expanded to 5,000 men.

Changshan County Taishou Han Ye still manages the daily affairs of Changshan County, and should have kept filial piety for Han Fu for three years, but first, Han Fu was killed by someone, and he had to keep filial piety a few days ago, and the following days will be according to the actual situation; Second, Changshan County is not managed.

Han Fu gave Han Cheng a total of 100,000 taels of gold and 250,000 stone of grain, which was enough for an army of 25,000 to consume for ten months according to the calculation that one person consumed one stone of grain a month. Coupled with the harvest in Changshan County, at least this year is not to worry.

The Youzhou army in Dai County had already retreated, and Han Cheng ordered Geng Wu and Zhao Fu to lead 4,500 men and horses and 500 strong bow battalions to garrison Dai County and Dai County in Youzhou.

Dai County is located at the junction of Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou, with prosperous commerce and a large population.

When Geng Wu and Zhao Fu led the men and horses to Dai County, they sent back the news: "Dai County is a good place with many people and convenient transportation, but the only bad thing is that it is seriously threatened by the ethnic minorities in the north." ”

Han Cheng was depressed in his heart: Uncle Han Fu gave the land of the four counties to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, mainly to let them block Yuan Shao's soldiers, and Daijun was just an excuse, and it didn't matter if he gave it or not. Even if he didn't give it, Han Cheng didn't have the strength to take it himself.

Who knew that Liu Yu, a good old man, actually kept his promise and agreed, but Gongsun Zhanke had his own calculations, and only gave it to Daixian, but as a result, Daijun only got one county, and he had to resist the northern minorities for Youzhou, no matter how he calculated, he would suffer.

However, it is an ironclad fact that if there are no soldiers, they will be beaten, and if they are weak, they will be bullied. At this time, he had no soldiers and no strength, so he could only be arranged by others.

If you don't have the strength, you will be bullied, everyone is the same. At this time, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian were not as good as Han Cheng.

Speaking of Cao Cao, it is inseparable from the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army, which was active around Taihang Mountain, led by Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zhenggu, wanted to attack Wei County, Yanzhou East County and other places to obtain food, wealth and population.

Therefore, Yuan Shao arranged for his subordinate Cao Cao to lead troops into Dongjun, under the pretext of resisting the Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army, to develop his own power.

Cao Cao broke the Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army in Puyang County.

Yuan Shao made Cao Cao the Taishou of Dongjun and changed the administrative office from Puyang County to Dongwu County, because Puyang County had been emptied by the Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army.

In the spring of the following year, Cao Cao broke the poison department in Dunqiu County, and the solid department in Neihuang County, and pacified Dongjun.

Cao Cao had a foothold in Yanzhou East County.

As for Liu Bei, he was still under Gongsun Chan at this time.

Gongsun Chan broke the yellow scarf, and his prestige was flourishing, and after the leading army of Zhuo County in Youzhou entered Jizhou, the counties of Jizhou rebelled against Yuan Shao and attached themselves to Gongsun Zhan.

Yuan Shao listened to the words of his subordinate Tian Feng and led his army to Zhongshan County to resist Gongsun Zhan's attack layer by layer, but he lost more than he won.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan's army was very strong and arrogant. He appointed his subordinate general Yan Gang as the Jizhou Assassin History, Tian Kai as the Qingzhou Assassin History, and Shan Jing as the Yanzhou Assassin History, and re-set the county orders and Taishou of the occupied Jizhou counties.

Liu Bei and Tian Kaizhen Fuqingzhou had merit, so Liu Bei was appointed as the plain minister, and Liu Bei appointed his brothers Hedong Guan Yu and Zhuojun Zhang Fei as other Sima.

Liu Bei also has a place for the time being.

The saddest thing is Sun Jian.

Since the matter of the jade seal of the country was handed down, after Yuan Shao's vigorous publicity, the world knows about it.

Liu Biao and Yuan Shao, the assassins of Jingzhou, united to cut off Sun Jian's return route and grain route, and Sun Jian was anxious to cross the river and return to Jiangdong, so he led his troops to attack Liu Biao.

Liu Biao sent his general Huang Zutun's army between Fancheng and Deng County to meet Sun Jian. Sun Jian broke through the Huang Zu Department and led the army to besiege Xiangyang.

Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu to go out of the city at night to gather rescue troops, and when Huang Zu led the rescue troops back to Xiangyang, he was intercepted by Sun Jian, and after the defeat, he fled to Da Xian Mountain.

Sun Jian took advantage of the victory to pursue, and was killed by Huang Zu's soldiers arranged by a secret arrow, only thirty-seven years old.

Sun Ben got the news, so he removed the siege of Xiangyang and led his troops to Yuan Shu, who recommended Sun Ben as the assassin of Yuzhou.

And Sun Jian's son Sun Ce, Sun Quan returned to Qu'a County with Sun Jian's body, and after burying Sun Jian, the family moved to Jiangdu, Sun Ce was only seventeen years old this year.

...

Han Cheng knew the current situation in Dai County, so he ordered Min Chun to be appointed as the county governor of Dai County, in charge of Dai County's affairs, and led 500 soldiers and 500 strong bow battalion sergeants to Dai County to take up his post.

By this time, the weather had entered June, and the weather was gradually getting hotter.

Han Cheng got the news that in the southwest of Changshan County, the Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army Lei Gong and Fuyun 2 Division, which flowed out of Taihang Mountain, plundered the surrounding people, gathered a total of 30,000 horses, and attacked Gaoyi County, Changshan County, Gaoyi only had 1,000 defenders and 500 county soldiers, and the situation was not optimistic.

Han Cheng immediately arranged for Huang Zhong and Fu Zhu to lead the 3,000 Qinglong Battalion as the vanguard and went straight to Gaoyi County to relieve the siege.

He led Pan Feng and the 4,000 strong bow battalion sergeants to follow, and Han Ye was responsible for the food supply. This group of yellow turban thieves must be wiped out to prevent future troubles.

At this time, I received a report from Tanmalai that 15,000 Yuan Shao's troops from Jizhou appeared outside Shangai County, and there was a tendency to take advantage of the fire to loot. Han Cheng once again ordered Zhang He to lead 8,000 men and horses to defend Shangai County, Changshan County, mainly to defend the city, and after he pacified the Yellow Turban Black Mountain Army outside Gaoyi County, he led the army to Shangai County to drive Yuan Shaojun of Jizhou out of Changshan County.

And Wei Yan, who led the rest of the men and horses to defend the military camp, acted when he saw the opportunity, and helped there if there was any difficulty.

Ma Gui was very fast, and in less than half a day, Huang Zhong and Fu Zhu led 3,000 men and horses to Gaoyi County.

It was encountered that Lei Gong and Fuyun II led the crowd to attack the county seat. Huang Zhong saw that the Yellow Turban thieves were attacking the city fiercely, and ordered to attack immediately.

Frustrated Professor looked at Gaoyi County, which was in danger but could still hold on, and said to Huang Zhong:

"Captain Huang is anxious in his heart, and I am also frustrated, but there are many Yellow Turban thieves, and although the attack of the front army is fierce, it lacks siege weapons and cannot take the city in a short time; The rear army is neat and orderly, and our army will not be able to gain the greatest advantage of cavalry when it enters at this time, so it is better to wait for a while. One is to let the horses and soldiers recover their strength, and they can be used for a while to charge; Second, when the enemy's elite army attacks the city, our army will directly penetrate the city, and the siege of Gaoyi County can be solved. ”

Huang Zhong fought bravely, and listened to what he said, and said: "I will listen to the long history for the time being, but if the enemy's front army enters the city, I will lead the people to charge, and I will not let the people of Changshan County be plundered by the Yellow Turban thieves." ”

Seeing that Huang Zhong was resolute and dedicated to the people, plus Han Cheng let himself and Huang Zhong lead the cavalry first, wasn't it just to protect the people.

Then he replied: "If the front army of the Yellow Turban thieves broke through the city gate, please give Fu a knife, Fu Mou can't watch the people suffer in vain." ”

Huang Zhong saw that Fu Zhu also dared to go on the horse to kill the enemy, and he had less of a literati style and more of a military general's temperament, so his attitude towards Fu Zhu changed greatly.
