Yuan Shu claimed that the emperor ascended the throne

At the beginning of the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu superstitious Zhang Shenjiong offered a talisman and thought that he should meet the mandate of heaven, so he called himself the emperor in Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui) and called himself "Zhongjia". With Jiujiang Taishou as Huainan Yin, set up a hundred officials of the public secretary, sacrificed heaven and earth according to the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, and ascended to the emperor's throne.

Sun Ce broke off his friendship with Yuan Shu

A.D. 197 (the second year of Jian'an). , Yuan Shu officially usurped the emperor, Sun Ce wrote a letter to Yuan Shu, persuading him not to, Yuan Shu did not listen to the advice, so the two broke off contact and no longer had contact. and sent someone to write to inform Wu Jing, Sun Ben and others. Wu Jing immediately gave up Guangling and returned to Sun Ce. Yuan Shu appointed Sun Ben as the Taishou of Jiujiang, but Sun Ben did not trust him, was trapped in Jiangbei, and later abandoned his wife and children and returned to Jiangdong. Sun Ce's brother Sun Xiang was also appointed by Yuan Shu as the Taishou of Runan, because the road was far away and blocked, and he could not return to Jiangdong.

In May of the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu sent an envoy

Han Yin went to Lü Bu, told him about the emperor, and asked Lü Bu to fulfill the contract to marry his daughter to Yuan Shu's son. Lu Bu ordered his daughter to follow Han Yin to Shouchun (Weichang County tonight). Pei Guo Minister Chen Qi persuaded Lu Bu to lobby: Cao Cao welcomes the Son of Heaven and assists the government, and should cooperate with Cao Cao; If he became intimate with Yuan Shu, he would definitely fall into an unrighteous reputation, and Lu Bu agreed very much, so he recovered his daughter halfway, captured Han Yin, and sent him to Xudu (now Xuchang, Henan) to be beheaded. Here, Cao Cao sent the imperial court to order Lü Bu as the left general, and personally wrote a letter to Lü Bu to comfort him. Yuan Shu listened to the persuasion of Lü Bu to destroy the marriage general, lost his temper, and sent the generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui to unite with the armies of Han Xian, Yang Feng and others, and led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to attack Xiapi (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu), the political center of Xuzhou. At that time, Lü Bu only had 3,000 soldiers and 400 war horses, and the disparity in strength was huge. Here I accepted Chen Jue's suggestion to implement the divisive plan, and wrote to Han Xian and Yang Feng and said: You two escorted the emperor back to Luoyang, and I personally killed Dong Zhuo, both of whom have made great contributions to the imperial court, how can you be a national thief with Yuan Shu now? It is better to jointly get rid of Yuan Shu and eliminate harm for the country. And promised Han and Yang that when they came after defeating Yuan, they would give him all the materials of Yuan Shu's army. Han and Yang agreed. When Lü Bu led his army to less than 100 steps away from Zhang Xun's camp, Han Xian and Yang were ordered to shout loudly and jointly attack Zhang Xun with Lü Bu, Zhang Xun was defeated and the army was lost. Lü Bu joined forces with Han and Yang, and pursued them all the way to Zhongli (northeast of present-day Fengyang, Anhui). , only two hundred miles away from Shouchun, Yuan Shu personally led 5,000 troops to garrison on the south bank of the Huai River to watch the movement, Lu Bu and other command sergeants north of Huaishui laughed loudly at Yuan Shu, and then returned to the north of the division, Yuan Shu after this failure, the power gradually weakened.

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu

In September of the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu led an army to attack Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan), booby-trapped Chen King Liu Bei, and had their land, posing a threat to Xudu (now Xuchang, Henan) from the east, so Cao Cao personally led a large army to the east. Yuan Shu was taken aback when he heard that Cao Cao came in person, abandoned his army and fled back to Huainan (south of Huaishui). , leaving the generals Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui, Li Feng and others to retreat to Qi County (now Su County, Anhui). Cao Cao commanded the army to attack, broke the Yuan army, and killed the Yuan army generals Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Le Gang and many others. Zhang Xun survived and fled back to Huainan. Cao Cao lifted the threat of Xu Du and returned to the court victoriously. In a year, Yuan Shu was first defeated by Lu Bu and Cao Cao again, and the soldiers were completely lost, and they were in a slump.

At that time, the county people Zou Tuo, Qian Tong, Wang Lisheng, Yan Baihu, etc

Suddenly 10,000 people each, defended by danger, refused to return, Sun Ce first attacked Zou Tuo and others, and then he defeated Yan Baihu, Yan Baihu fled to Hangzhou (now Zhejiang). Cao Wei Teng once planned to kill him, and everyone was worried and couldn't think of it. Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, leaned on the big well and said to Sun Ce: "You have just arrived in Jiangnan, this matter has not been completed, and it should be Corporal Lixian, except for more than the record of merit." Wei Gongcao is doing his best in public, if you kill him today, then everyone will betray you tomorrow. I can't bear to see a catastrophe coming, so I should put this well in the first place! "The strategy was taken by surprise and suddenly released the rise. At the beginning, Wu County Taishou and Hui Ji Ren Sheng Xian recommended Gao Dai as filial piety. Xu Gong came to lead the county, and Taishan took refuge in the camp commander Xu Zhao's house. Wucheng people Zou Tuo, Qian Tong and Jiaxing Wang Sheng each gathered more than 10,000 or thousands of people, and refused to join Sun Ce. Sun Ce led his army to crusade, defeated them, and attacked Yan Baihu. The White Tiger was defeated, fled to Yuhang, and defected to Xu Zhao. Cheng Pu asked to attack Zhao, and Sun Ce said: "Xu Zhao is righteous in the old king, and sincere to old friends, this is what her husband means." "I gave up.

Sun Ce defeated Chen Yu

A.D. 197 (the second year of Jian'an). , Cao Cao sent Lang Zhou Pu to carry the edict of Emperor Xian of Han to Sun Ce,

He was appointed as the commander of the cavalry, inherited his father's title of Marquis of Wucheng, and concurrently served as the Taishou of Huiji, and ordered him to crusade against Yuan Shu together with Lü Bu, Chen Yu and others. Sun Ce noticed that he was in command of the soldiers and horses, and his position as a cavalry lieutenant was a little low, and he wanted to get the title of a general to improve himself. Send someone to reveal his meaning to Wang Pu. Wang Pu should immediately proclaim Sun Ce as acting general of the Ming and Han dynasties in the name of the emperor.

At that time, Chen Yu's army was stationed in Haixi (now Donghai, Jiangsu). According to the requirements of the edict, Sun Ce reorganized the soldiers and horses, and went to meet with Lu Bu and Chen Yu to plan military secrets and participate in the same situation. But when he led his army to Qiantang, the situation changed. It turned out that Chen Li wanted to take the opportunity to seize Sun Ce's territory. He sent people to secretly cross the river, and took more than 30 seals to various localities to scatter the commanders of various counties and counties, and asked him to make internal responses. , and as soon as Sun Ce's troops were deployed, they would immediately capture their counties. When Sun Ce found out about this conspiracy, he lost his temper and sent Lu Fan and Xu Yi to lead troops directly to Haixi, defeat Chen Ma, and capture more than 4,000 of their soldiers, wives and children. Chen Yu fled north to Yuan Shao.

In March of the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Cao was afraid

Yuan Shao's power gave up the title of general to Yuan Shao, and sent the general Kong Rong to Jizhou (now southwest of Linzhang County, Hebei) to appoint Yuan Shao as a general, and let him take charge of Jizhou, Qingzhou (now Zibobei, Shandong), Shen (now southwest of Beijing), and Cha (southwest of present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi), and recognized the four states as Yuan Shao's sphere of influence. Here, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were at peace for the time being.

Ying Shao wrote "The Story of Han Official Etiquette"

At that time, Ying Shao was the captain of Yuan Shaojun. At that time, the emperor moved the capital to Xuchang, and the classics disappeared, and most of the old rules and regulations system had been annihilated. Ying Shao sighed with emotion, so he collected old news and wrote "The Story of Han Official Etiquette". All the imperial court systems, the hundred official ceremonies, were established according to what the ribs said.

Liu Bei booby-trapped Yang Feng

After Yang Feng and Han Xian assisted Lü Bu in defeating Yuan, they stayed in Xiapi (northwest of present-day Suining, Jiangsu). The war between Xu and Yang continued, and there was a shortage of food, and Yang Feng and other military rations did not continue, and he wanted to go to Jingzhou (now Xiangfan, Hubei) to defect to Liu Biao, but Lu Bu did not allow it. When Liu Bei temporarily lived in Xiaopei (now Pei County, Jiangsu), because of the incident in Xuzhou, he had a grudge against Lu Bu, and in November of the second year of Jian'an (197), Yang Fengnai and Liu Bei made an appointment to attack Lu Bu together. Liu Bei was disgusted with Yang Fengzhi as a human being and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him; So he pretended to promise to welcome Yang Fengjun to Xiaopei. Yang Feng was to Xiaopei, and Liu Bei made people tie up and kill Yang Feng during the banquet and took his soldiers for himself. Han Xian saw that Yang Feng was dead, and he was alone, so he led more than ten horsemen to Bingzhou (Zhijinyang, now southwest of Taiyuan, Shanxi), and was killed. The two forces of Yang Feng and Han Xian were destroyed.

At the beginning of the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Cao recommended Zhong Xuan as the captain of the division and the commander of the Guanzhong army. This is the former Guanzhong (formerly known as Hangu Pass to the west of Guanzhong, Hangu Pass in the northeast of present-day Lingbao, Henan) will lead more than a dozen units, each of which is the strongest, Han Sui and Ma Teng are the strongest. Cao Cao personally greeted Emperor Xian in Xu (present-day Xuchang, Henan), and after the empress eliminated the heroes and unified the north. At that time, in order to avoid the threat of Guanzhong in the west, from the suggestion of the strategist Xun He, Zhong Xuan was sent to supervise Guanzhong, in order to seek a moment with the various armies in Guanzhong. Zhong Xuan arrived at Guanzhong

Later, he was stationed in Chang'an (northwest of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi), and sent a letter to Han Sui, Ma Teng and others to state his interests. At that time, Cao Cao acted in the name of the emperor, and Han Sui, Ma Teng and others did not dare to resist the emperor, so they sent their sons to serve Xu Du in order to show their obedience to the central government, and Guanzhong was temporarily stable.
