In the first month of the second year of Chuping (191), Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others came to offer the emperor when he was young, and it was controlled by Dong Zhuo, who wanted to abolish the emperor and elect Liu Yu as the emperor of the Han clan and Youzhou (now southwest of Beijing). So Yuan Shao and others sent Yuan Lelang Taishou Zhang Qi and others to the honorific number in Liu Yu. Cao Cao and Yuan Shu and the others did not agree, Liu Yu insisted on not accepting it, and the matter stopped.

In February of the second year of Chuping (191), Sun Jian moved his army to Liangdong (now Yichuan, Henan) and marched to attack Dong Zhuo. Lost the first battle, only a few dozen cavalry defeated and fled. He also gathered an army and fought with Dong Zhuo's subordinates against Yuyangren (now Linruxi, Henan). , killed Dong Zhuo's subordinate generals Hua Yingying, and Dong Zhuo's army was defeated. At that time, Yuan Shu was worried that Sun Jian was powerful and did not supply Sun Jian's army rations. Sun Jian rushed back to Luyang overnight, reprimanded him harshly, and asked Yuan Shu to continue to distribute military rations. Dong Zhuo saw that Sun Jian was brave, and asked Li to propose peace to Sun Jian, and asked Sun Jian to list the names of his disciples and allow them to be used as the county guard of the assassin history. Sternly rejected by Sun Jian, Sun Jian led his army to the Grand Canyon, which was only ninety miles away from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo personally went to battle with Sun Jian between the tombs of the emperors in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to a belt in Mianchi County (now Henan). Sun Jian marched into Luoyang, defeated Dong Zhuo's general LĂź Bu, and entered Luoyang. He also divided his army into Mianchi and other places to intercept and attack Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo was defeated by Sun Jian, he ordered Zhonglang to garrison Niu Fu and others in Huayin, Anyi County (northwest of present-day Xia County, Shanxi), and Mianchi to guard against Sun Jian, and led his army back to Chang'an. Sun Jian swept the temples of the Han Dynasty, repaired the tombs of the emperors, and found the heirloom jade seal in the well while rectifying Luoyang.

In the second year of Chuping (191), when Sun Jian went to attack Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao sent Zhou Ang to be the assassin of Yuzhou, and led his troops to attack Yangcheng, which had been the seat of Sun Jian's assassin history in Yuzhou. When Sun Jian got the news, he was very emotional: "We revolted together, the purpose is to save the country. Now that the traitors will be destroyed, but there is such an internal strife, with whom shall I join forces and turn the heavens one day around? After speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed, tears falling like rain. When this happened, Sun Jian had no choice but to return to Shilu and command the army to attack Zhou Ang and Cao Cao's army Zhou Expectation, and Zhou Ang and others were defeated and fled. Yuan Shu learned that Sun Jian had the jade seal of the country in his hand, and detained Sun Jian's wife and seized the jade seal from Sun Jian.

In the second year of Chuping (191), Liu Biao and Yuan Shao united and cut off Sun Jian's way home and road, so Sun Jian marched to attack Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent his general Huang Zu to garrison Fancheng (present-day Hubei) and Dengxian (present-day Xiangfanbei, Hubei) to meet Sun Jian. Sun Jian defeated Huang Zu and marched to besiege Liu Biao in Xiangyang (present-day Xiangfan, Hubei). 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 fled to the middle of Da Xian Mountain. Sun Jian took advantage of the victory to pursue and was killed by Huang Zu's army from a dark arrow at the age of 37. Huanjie (Sun Jian once recommended Huanjie as filial piety) ventured into Xiangyang to ask Jin to see Liu Biao and claim back Sun Jian's body, Sun Ben (Sun Jian's nephew) removed the siege of Xiangyang and led the troops to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu recommended Sun Ben as the assassin of Yuzhou, and Sun Ben helped Sun Jian's coffin to Qu'a.

When he was seventeen years old, he was a county clerk who was known for his outwitted pirates, and the county government summoned other acting county lieutenants. In the first year of Xiping (172), he was appointed as the commander of the government to recruit more than 1,000 excellent and brave warriors to participate in the suppression of the Xuchang uprising of Huiji County (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). Later, he successively served as Yandu, Xuyi County (now part of Jiangsu), and Xia (now northwest of Suining, Jiangsu) counties for more than ten years, and the places he went to were very prestigious, and the officials and people were close and obedient. The number of people who came with him often numbered in the hundreds. There are old people and celebrities in the township, as well as curious young people. Sun Jian on the other. , as if you were a relative or friend of your children. Reception and upbringing, dedication. In the first year of Zhongping (184), Zhu Jun, a Zhonglang general, fought fiercely against the Yellow Turban Army, often putting life and death out of the way, and served as Sima of other departments because of his military exploits. In the second year of Zhongping (185), he participated in the pacification of Liangzhou, and suggested to Zhang Wen that Dong Zhuo, who violated military discipline, be killed by military law, and in the fourth year of Zhongping (187), he was the Taishou of Changsha, and quickly eliminated the District Star Uprising, and later pacified the people in Lingling, Guiyang, Yichun and other places, and was named Wucheng Hou. After Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, Sun Jian participated in the Kwantung coalition army's crusade against Dong Zhuo, and in the second year of Chuping (191), he defeated Dong Zhuo and captured Luoyang, and died in the battle against Liu Biao that year. Sun Jian was brave and good at fighting, he was a famous general at that time, and was considered to be a loyal and strong martyr. Later, his sons Sun Ce and Sun Quan started the foundation and established the Sun Wu regime.

In the second year of Chuping (191), the 300,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou Prefecture (now Zibobei, Shandong) were in Bohai County (now northeast of Hebei). , preparing to join up with another peasant army, the Montenegrin Army. Sun Zhan, the commander of the army, led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to meet the attack on the Yellow Turban Army from the garrison of Youzhou (now southwest of Beijing), and the two armies fought fiercely in Dongguang County (now southeast of Cangzhou County, Hebei). Gongsun Chan defeated the Yellow Turban Army and beheaded more than 30,000 people. The Yellow Turban Army discarded its baggage and crossed the Yellow River south. Gongsun Chan set up an ambush by the Yellow River, and when the Yellow Turban Army crossed the river, he suddenly attacked, the Yellow Turban Army died tens of thousands, and the blood flowed like a river, and Gongsun Chan captured more than 70,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, and countless armor and property. Because of his merits, the imperial court worshiped Gongsun Zan as the general of Fenwu and was named the Marquis of Ji.

In the second year of the first peace (191), Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, saw that Jizhou Mu Han Fu was mediocre, and he intended to seize Jizhou, thinking that he would establish enough land. At that time, Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the school, was stationed in Tunyouzhou (now southwest of Beijing). , Yuan Shao adopted the advice of the strategist Feng Ji and instigated the envoy Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou, and Han Fu was unfavorable and panicked. Yuan Shao took the opportunity to send his nephew Gao Gan and Han Fu's always close Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others to tell Han Fu Chen about the stakes, and persuaded Gongsun Zhan that his troops were very strong, and his edge was irresistible, and Yuan Shao's was trying to attack Jizhou to the east, which was very dangerous; And the Yuan family was returned by the world, so it was better to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao to ensure safety. Han Fu has always been cowardly, and he wanted to rely on shelter in Yuan Shao to protect himself, and despite the strong opposition of his subordinates, he ceded Jizhou Mu to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao invaded Jizhou and appointed Han Fu as the general of Fenwei, and he also served as the pastor of Jizhou. He also attracted Jizhou celebrity Tian Feng as a separate driver, and the trial was in the middle of governance, because Xu You, Xun Chen and others were strategists, so they occupied Jizhou. Jizhou was the largest state at that time, "a million troops, food for ten years", has always been the place where the world has invested heavily. Yuan Shao's power was prosperous, from here to the south to occupy the Yellow River, the north to Yan, Dai, the tiger to see the Central Plains, in a very advantageous position in the group of heroes. After Jizhou Mu Han Fu let out Jizhou, he did not get peace because of this, and soon fled to Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao to get along. Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Zhang Miao to discuss the matter, and Han Fu thought that he was going to murder himself and committed suicide.

In the second year of Chuping (191), Gongsun Zhan's cousin Gongsun Yue was shot by an arrow and died while fighting with Yuan Shao's subordinate Zhou Ang. Gongsun Zhan was angry with Yuan Shao, and Shangshu Chen said about Yuan Shao's crimes, and immediately sent troops to attack Jizhou (southwest of Linzhang County, Hebei). The two sides thus launched a war for Jizhou. At that time, Gongsun Zhan defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and his prestige was flourishing, and after leading the army into Jizhou, the counties and counties betrayed Yuan Shao and annexed him. Yuan Shao was afraid of his prestige, so he granted Gongsun Fan, another cousin of Gongsun Zhan, the Bohai Taishou, and Gongsun Fan attacked Yuan Shao with Bohai soldiers after arriving in the county. At that time, Gongsun Zhan's army was very powerful. Here, Gongsun Zhan appointed his subordinate general Yan Gang as the Jizhou Assassin History, Qingzhou Assassin Tian Kai as the Jiaozhou Assassin History, and changed the Jizhou Zhinei County Guard. In the spring of the following year, Yuan Shao personally led a large army back to Gongsun Zhan, and the two armies fought twenty miles south of Jieqiao (now east of Wei County, Hebei). Gongsun Zhan led 30,000 soldiers to form a phalanx, and led 10,000 elite cavalry, which were placed on the left and right, and Yuan Shao's general Qu Yi led 800 elite soldiers, and 1,000 strong crossbows were the vanguard. Gongsun Chan despised his small number of soldiers, and let the cavalry attack, Zhao Zhengyi's army was ambushed under the shield, waiting for the enemy to come, and at the same time sounded, so he defeated Gongsun Zhan's army, beheaded his general Yan Gang, and won more than 1,000 heads. Yuan Shao's army took advantage of the momentum and pursued to the boundary bridge. In two battles, he was defeated and defeated the Gongsun Zhan camp. Gongsun Chan was defeated and had to lead his army back. In October of that year, Gongsun Zhan's entire army attacked Yuan Shao again, and the two armies fought at Longcuo (now northeast of Dezhou, Shandong). , Gongsun Shu's army was defeated by Yuan Shao again.

In the autumn of the second year of Chuping (191), the Montenegrin peasant army led by Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zhenggu attacked Wei County (southwest of present-day Linzhang County, Hebei) and Dong (present-day southwest of Puyang County, Henan). At that time, Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao, who was subordinate to other Cao Cao, to lead his troops into Dongjun and develop his own strength with the help of it. Cao Cao defeated the Black Mountain Army at Puyang. Yuan Shaobiao Cao Cao was the Taishou of Dongjun and was relocated in Dongwuyang (now Cao County, Shandong). In the spring of the following year, Cao Cao defeated the Montenegrin army Yu Poison Department at Dunqiu (now southwest of Qingfeng, Henan), and defeated the Montenegrin army at Neihuang County (now northwest of Neihuang County, Henan) and the Xiongnu Yu Fuluo, who were harassing in Dongjun, and pacified Shu. Since Cao Cao sent his troops, he has suffered from no territory, and he has a foothold in Dongjun here.

In the second year of the Chuping Dynasty (191), Mu Liu Yan of Yizhou (now northeast of Deyang, Sichuan) appointed Sima Zhang Lu of the Governor Yi and Sima Zhang Xiu of the other department to attack Hanzhong County (now Hanzhong Taishou of the east of the Su Kingdom), cut off the Baochuan Road (the north-south passage connecting the Qinling Mountains in ancient times, 700 miles from the beginning to the end), killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, claiming that the thieves had cut off the road and had no legal contact with the imperial court. He also came to find an excuse to kill more than a dozen people including Wang Xian and Li Quan, who were big clans in the state, so as to establish their prestige. Not long after, Qianwei County (now Pengshan Shandong, Sichuan) Taishou Ren Qi and the school captain Jia Long raised troops to attack Liu Yan and were killed. Liu Yan was even more imposing, and several of his sons were in Chang'an at that time, and Emperor Xian sent his son Liu Zhang, the commander of Fengche, back to Yizhou to tell him about the benefits. Liu Yan asked him to stay in Yizhou and never return, so he occupied Yizhou.

In the second year of Chuping (191), Liu Bei was in Luzhi with Gongsun Zhan's classmates and went to seek refuge with Gongsun Zhan. After a short time, Gongsun Zhan was established by Liu Bei and his general Tian Kai to guard Qingzhou (now Zibobei, Shandong), with Liu Bei as the prime minister of the plains. Liu Bei appointed a young friend Guan Yu in Hedong and Zhang Fei in Zhuojun as Sima of other departments. At that time, Zhao Yun, a native of Changshan, led the soldiers of the county to defect to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei made friends deeply, and Zhao Yun attached himself to Liu Bei. Liu Bei, a descendant of the Han clan, has always had great ambitions, because at that time, there were few soldiers and generals, and he was temporarily attached to Gongsun Zhan.
