At the end of February 189, at the same time as Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei, they defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army.

The Southern Xiongnu's late Luan Ti Yufuluo, the son of Shan Yu Qiangqu, together with the Montenegrin army Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Zheng Gu and others, led 60,000 rebels to attack Wei County in Jizhou and East County in Yanzhou.

Yuan Shao once again carried forward his 'tradition of watching the fire from across the strait', and refused to send troops to attack the rebels.

Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu led his troops to battle and died on the battlefield. Liu Daiyan, the assassin of Yanzhou, asked Cao Cao to send troops.

Cao Cao, together with Bao Xin, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, and Le Jin, personally led more than 20,000 troops to Dongjun.

Cao's army was on the first line of Puyang and Yin'an in Dongjun and Huang in Wei County, and won three battles and three victories. Cao's army beheaded more than 30,000 rebels and captured more than 20,000. In order to show favor to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao played Cao Cao as the Taishou of Dongjun!

Soon after Cao Cao took office as the Taishou of Dongjun, Chen Gong, a native of Dongwuyang, Dongjun, came to defect to Cao Cao. Cao Cao finally got his first advisor!

At the beginning of June 189, due to the severe drought in Qing and Yanzhou, the Yellow Turban Army in the two states rebelled again.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, did not listen to Bao Xin's advice of 'fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, defending first and then fighting', and forcibly sent troops to attack the Yellow Turban Army, but he died on the battlefield.

Chen Gongmao then recommended himself as a lobbyist and successfully persuaded Yanzhou to drive away, Changshi, and govern Zhongzhong. Subsequently, Chen Gong, Bao Xin and others elected Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou.

Soon after Cao Cao took office as the pastor of Yanzhou, Li Gan, a giant savage from Shanyang County, Yanzhou, with his son Li Quan and nephew Li Dian, defected to Cao Cao with more than 1,000 elite soldiers.

At the end of June of the same year, Cao Cao set up surprise troops on the front line of Guoshou Zhang and Wuyan in Dongping, Yanzhou, preparing for a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Cao Cao did not listen to Bao Xin's suggestion to 'attack together', and personally led the light horse first. When Cao Cao and Bao Xin engaged the enemy, Cao's infantry did not arrive in time.

In the blink of an eye, Bao Xin rushed several times and desperately rescued Cao Cao, but he was killed by the Yellow Turban Army at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve!

Later, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and others arrived with infantry and barely defeated the Yellow Turban Army.

Cao Cao, who was grief and ashamed, offered a reward of 100 catties of gold to find Bao Xin's body, but unfortunately did not find it.

Cao Cao ordered someone to carve the appearance of Bao Xin out of wood and buried him on a high post on the Shouzhang battlefield.

Cao Cao knelt in front of Bao Xin's tomb, tears raining down, shouting Bao Xin's words one after another.

For many years after that, Cao Cao burst into tears whenever he thought of Bao Xin. Cao Cao treats Bao Xin's sons Bao Shao and Bao Xun as his own!

At the end of July of the same year, Cao Cao and Bao Xin's subordinates were banned, and personally led an army of 30,000 out of Guogang County and Snake Hill in Jibei, Yanzhou; Liu Bei personally led an army of 30,000 and went out of Qingzhou Qi.

The two armies of Cao and Liu, flanked from the east and west, and fought the Yellow Turban Army in Taishan County, Yanzhou. Cao and Liu's armies won a complete victory, beheading more than 50,000 people, and Cao's army killed 10,000 prisoners.

Cao Cao received 200,000 soldiers and a population of 500,000. After screening and selecting the soldiers, 60,000 of them were left strong, called 'Qingzhou soldiers'!

Liu Bei received 100,000 soldiers and a population of 300,000. Liu Bei left 30,000 elites, and the rest moved back to Qingzhou and returned to the field!

After the celebration banquet of Cao and Liu's armies, Liu Bei listened to Chen Qun's suggestion and made a statement to test Cao Cao, wanting Cao Cao to put Taishan County under his rule.

Taishan County connects the two states of Yanqing, the terrain is dangerous, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Of course, Cao Cao knew the key to this, so he naturally rejected Liu Bei. Cao Cao divided the spoils of war to Liu Bei.

Crusading against Dong Zhuo's 17th Route Princes, Han Fu was captured by Yuan Shaoyin in Jizhou and fled to Zhang Miao. Kong Ling died of illness shortly after being dismissed by Yuan Shao. Sun Jian died on the battlefield. Qiao Mao was murdered by Liu Dai, and Liu Dai died on the battlefield. Yuan Yi defected to Yuan Shao. Bao Xin died in battle!

The big waves are gone, how many heroes are left?

……

Besides, Dong Zhuo fought with the rebels from all walks of life for March, and the 260,000 troops under his command were less than 100,000 left!

On the night of November 15, 188, when Dong Zhuo escaped from Luoyang City, he issued an order to the generals.

Xu Rong, Dong Yue, and Fan Chou led 20,000 troops and stationed on the front line of Hanguguan, Mianchi, and Xin'an.

Niu Fu and Duan Xuan led 10,000 troops and stationed in Shaanxi County, Hongnong County, and Huayin.

Li Dao and Guo Yan led 10,000 troops and stationed on the front line of Zuo Fengyi, Linjin and Chongquan.

Hu Zhen, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu led 10,000 troops and stationed on the front line of Jingzhao Yin Wuguan and Lantian.

Before November 16, Dong Zhuo fled all the way to Chang'an City. Dong Zhuo wanted to vent the resentment in his heart, but also to humiliate Huangfu Song. When entering the city, Dong Zhuo deliberately asked Emperor Fu Song to kneel down and worship him.

The day after Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an City, Li Ru handed over the list of ill-gotten gains obtained by Lu Bu from excavating the imperial tombs and the tombs of the princes to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo read the list, and his heart was not only described as ecstasy. Then, Dong Zhuo ignored Li Ru's opposition and accepted Lu Bu as his adopted son.

Lu Bu was even more ecstatic, and immediately worshiped Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law. Lu Bu bluntly said that he was willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death, and if he violated this oath, he would be pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows and died.

Dong Zhuo loved Lu Bu more and more, and named him the general of Zhonglang and the marquis of Duting. Dong Zhuo was suspicious by nature, and he was afraid that someone would assassinate him, so he often asked Lu Bu to protect him. Dong Zhuo's inner house, Lu Bu can also enter and exit freely!

Dong Zhuo was in Chang'an City, and after a few days of panic, he received the news that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Bao Xin had failed to attack Hangu Pass, and that Eryuan and Sun Jiandun had invaded Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo calmed down a little!

More than a month later, the news of Sun Jian's death in Jingzhou reached Chang'an City, and Dong Zhuo was ecstatic, and immediately celebrated with his hands and feasted his ministers.

What made Dong Zhuo's heart even more stable was that from the end of the Battle of Chencang to the occupation of Luoyang City by the Kwantung Coalition Army, Li Mu's Liangzhou army had always stood still.

Dong Zhuo, who was trembling, like facing the abyss, and walking on thin ice, began to be arrogant again.

In order to curry favor with Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's staff jointly wrote to Liu Xie, believing that Dong Zhuo was comparable to Jiang Shang and Jiang Ziya, and could be called "Shang's father". Liu Xie was forced to agree!

Since then, when the ministers saw Dong Zhuo, they all had to bow down, and Dong Zhuo did not need to return the salute.

The recitals of the ministers are sent directly to the Taishi's Mansion without being sent to the palace. Officials in all important positions in the imperial court must come to the Taishifu regularly to report their work.

Dong Zhuo entered and exited the palace, riding the Qinggai Jinhua car, with two claws drawn, and the people of the time called "rod motorcycle".

Dong Zhuo is the Marquis of Yi, and his fief is in Youfufeng Yi County.

Today, Yixian is occupied by the Liangzhou army. Therefore, Dong Zhuo built a dock fort in Chiyang, outside Chang'an City and north of Weishui.

The treasures and treasures stored in the dock fort are incalculable, and the stored grain can be used for 30 years by an army of 100,000.

Dong Zhuo said more than once in front of hundreds of officials, extremely confident and very rampant, 'If our family is rebellious in Kanto and Kansai, we can dominate the world!' Even if you can't win, you can live in peace until you grow old! ’

Dong Zhuo, your situation is already a hanging sword in the sky!
