When Liu Miao heard that Zhu Rong had killed Zhu Hao and captured his Yi County, he was furious and personally led a large army to attack Zhu Rong.

Where is Liu Rong's opponent, the city fell within a few days, and Zhenrong fled to Wuliao Mountain, panicking like a lost dog.

Carrying a knife and covered in wounds, he ran to a house in the mountains, where he collapsed at the door, where an old man and his granddaughter rescued him and collected herbs for him every day. The granddaughter of the old man served the decoction to Zhenrong, and Zhenrong touched her hand and asked, "Female Bodhisattva, where is this?" ”

The girl was so frightened that she retracted her hand: "This mountain is called Wuliao Mountain." Why is Childe so thin? ”

Zhen Rong restrained his smile: "Fang Cai is being rude, dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"My name is Yan'er." The woman in front of Zhen Rong replied.

Zhenrong lived in the mountain people's house for a long time, and his wounds recovered quickly, and he and the old man hunted in the mountains every day for a living. Full of warm thoughts**, Zhenrong has already regarded himself as an old man and a member of their family, and he has gradually become lustful for Yan'er.

Zhen Rong took advantage of the old man's absence to sneak into Yan'er's room and took away her virginity. When the old man came back, Yan'er was sitting on the bed in disheveled clothes and crying.

When the old man saw Zhenrong coming in from outside the door, he scolded: "Beast! I was kind enough to save you, but you did such a nasty thing. ”

Zhenrong said shamelessly: "Uncle Mao, Yan'er is voluntary. At this point, I married Yan'er. ”

Mao Laohan pretended to compromise, saying that he went to the city to buy wine, but secretly came to a big village in Wuliao Mountain, and Mao Gan, the leader of Shanyue, saw Mao Laohan's sad expression and asked the reason. Mao Gan was furious after hearing this, and decided to help them make the decision, and brought a large number of Shanyue troops to Mao Laohan's house.

Mao Gan pointed at Zhenrong and said angrily: "You are the one who bullied Yan'er?" ”

A man in a Taoist robe next to Mao Gan said to him: "Mao Dashuai, this person is Zhenrong." Liu Miao bought his head for 100 gold, which was a godsend. ”

When Mao Gan heard him say this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to kill Zhenrong, who was killed by the Shanyue army despite desperate resistance. Mao Gan ordered someone to cut off the head of Zhenrong and take it to Liu Xuan.

After Han Xuan heard the news that Zhen Rong was killed by Shanyue, he sighed: "Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, it's not that the time has not yet come." Phew, I've learned Buddhism too. ”

Shanyue is not a good man and a woman, and he occupies the mountains as kings all year round and threatens to rule. There are many mountains in Yuzhang, and Han Xuan has to digest it for a long, long time after getting Yuzhang. Han Xuan sent his generals to conquer Shanyue everywhere, and in order to make up for the lack of troops, Han Xuan allowed each county to recruit its own villagers to resist Shanyue.

A year passed quickly, Tao Qian was seriously ill, and asked him not to drive Mizhu to welcome Liu Bei as the successor of Xuzhou Mu. Tao Qian died, and Mi Zhu and others led Xuzhou scholars to Xiaopei to greet Liu Bei. Liu Bei didn't dare to accept it, please welcome Yuan Shu instead. Chen Deng, the captain of the Diannong School, and Kong Rong, a famous scholar in Beihai, thought that Yuan Shu was not a person who controlled the chaos, and strongly persuaded Liu Bei to accept it. So Liu Bei served as the pastor of Xuzhou and got Xuzhou. Liu Bei moved to Xiapi, and Xiapi became the governor of Xuzhou.

Cao Cao's soldiers attacked Dingtao. Jiyin defended Wu Zibao Nancheng too much and failed to capture it. At this time, just as Lü Bu's troops arrived, Cao Cao broke Lü Bu's army again. In the summer, Lu Bu's generals Xue Lan and Li Fengtun soldiers were in the field, Cao Cao attacked Xue Lan's soldiers, and Lu Bu galloped to rescue Xue Lan. Xue Lan was defeated, and Lu Bu retreated.

Cao Cao killed Xue Lan and others. Lü Bu rendezvoused with Chen Gong from Dongyi and led more than 10,000 people to fight. At that time, Cao Cao had few soldiers, and Cao Cao set up an ambush according to the plan of the drama Zhicai, highlighting the surprise soldiers to attack Lu Bu and break Lu Bu's soldiers. Lü Bu fled by night, Cao Cao attacked again, pulled out Tao, and divided his troops to capture the counties. Lü Bu went east and returned to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was in Juancheng and learned that Tao Qian was dead, Liu Bei led Xuzhou Mu and said angrily: "I have not avenged my revenge, you don't spend half an arrow, you can sit in Xuzhou!" I will kill Liu Bei first, and then kill Qian's corpse, with the resentment of Xue Xianjun! ”

The order was immediately transmitted, and the soldiers went to fight Xuzhou. Xun Yu admonished: "In the past, Gaozu Baoguanzhong, Guangwu according to Hanoi, are deeply rooted in order to control the world, advance enough to defeat the enemy, retreat enough to hold on, so although there are difficulties, the end of the great cause." The first thing of the Ming Dynasty is Yanzhou, and the river and Ji are important places in the world, and they are also the Guanzhong and Hanoi in the past. Although Tao Qian is dead today, Liu Bei has guarded it. The people of Xuzhou, since they have been served, will help prepare for a death war. And Lu Bu was defeated by Liu Bei, if Ming Gong attacked Xuzhou, the two would save each other. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "There is a shortage of food this year, and it is not a good strategy for the sergeants to sit here. ”

Xun Yujin said: "It's better to go east and make the army eat Runan and Yingchuan." He Yi, Liu Pi, Gong Du, etc., of the Yellow Turban Yu Party, plundered the prefectures and counties, and there were many gold silks and grain, and such thieves were easy to break. It is a good thing to break and take its grain to feed the three armies, and the people will be happy. ”

According to Xun Yu's strategy, Cao Cao stayed in Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to guard Juancheng and other places, and personally led troops to attack Chendi first, and then went to Runan and Yingchuan counties. Cao Cao took Dian Wei as the vanguard and broke He Yi's Yellow Turban Army.

Dian Wei pursued He Yi to Gebei, and a strong man led the army to meet him. Dian Wei asked, "You are also a Yellow Turban Thief?" ”

The strong man replied: "Hundreds of yellow turbans are all captured by me in the dock!" ”

Dian Wei was furious: "Why don't you give it!" ”

The strong man said, "If you win a sword in one hand, I will give it." ”

Dian Wei immediately raised the double halberd to fight, and the two fought for a hundred rounds without winning or losing, Cao Cao led the army to see that this person was brave and unmatched, and persuaded the two to stop. Cao Cao saw that he could fight Dian Wei for so many rounds and asked him who he was.

The strong man replied: "I am a native of Qian County, the surname is Xu, the name is Chu, and the word is Zhongkang." When the world was in turmoil, I gathered hundreds of people from the clan and built a strong wall in the dock to defend it. One day, there was no food in the dock, so he made peace with the thief and exchanged the ploughing cattle for rice. The rice has been delivered, the thief drove the ox to the outside of the dock, and the cattle all ran back, and I took two oxtails with both hands, and walked backwards for more than 100 steps. The thief was so frightened that he did not dare to take the ox and leave. So keep it safe here. ”

Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu could drag the oxtail upside down with both hands, and he must be infinitely powerful and wanted to attract his subordinates. Cao Cao identified himself and treated him with courtesy, and Xu Chu led hundreds of people from his clan to take refuge in Cao Cao. Cao Cao worshiped Xu Chu as the captain, and was in charge of the Tiger Guards under his account with Dian Wei.

Han Xuan heard that Cao Cao had recaptured Yanzhou and captured Runan, Yingchuan and other places, and it seemed that Cao Cao's rise was unstoppable. Zhang Hong said to Han Xuan: "My lord, all the princes in the world are making their own progress, and the lord should also hurry up and prepare for war and seek to take Jiangdong." ”

Han Xuan nodded: "What Zigang said is very true, my biggest opponent in pacifying Jiangdong is Sun Ce. I want to strike first and attack Danyang Liu Xuan with all my might. ”

Calculating the time, it was already 195 AD, and Han Xuan knew that Sun Ce was about to cross the river to seize Jiangdong and stand on his own. If you want to stop Sun Ce's rise, you have to occupy Danyang before he crosses the river.

Shouchun, Sun Ce said to Yuan Shu: "My Sun family was kind to the Jiangdong people in the past, and I am willing to lead troops to help my uncle conquer Hengjiang." After the Hengjiang River is conquered, soldiers can be recruited locally, and 30,000 people can be recruited. At that time, I led the people to help the general pacify the world and seek great success. ”

Yuan Shu strategist Yan Xiang admonished: "Lord, Sun Ce is dissatisfied with you, if you let him go to conquer Jiangdong this time, like a dragon entering the sea, it will be difficult for the lord to control him!" ”

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Liu Xuan occupies Qu'a, Wang Lang occupies Huiji, what can Sun Ce do?" ”

Sun Ce offered the jade seal to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu couldn't put it down, agreed to Sun Ce's request, and praised the imperial court to appoint Sun Ce as the captain of Zhichong. Sun Ce then led Sun Jian's old army and hundreds of his own guests eastward.

Along the way, people continued to come to serve, and Sun Ce's team continued to grow, and by the time he arrived at Wu Jing's station, Liyang, there were five or six thousand people. Sun Ce saw a military horse in front of him, and he was the first to be alone, with a graceful posture and beautiful appearance, and when he saw Sun Ce, he dismounted and bowed.

Sun Ce looked at it, and it turned out to be a native of Shucheng, Lujiang, with the surname Zhou, the name Yu, and the word Gongjin. It turned out that when Sun Jian was courting Dong Zhuo, he moved to Shucheng, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were in the same year, and they had a close friendship and became a good match.

Zhou Yu's uncle, Zhou Shang, was the Taishou of Danyang, and this time he traveled to and from the province, and met Sun Ce here. Sun Ce was overjoyed to see Zhou Yu and told him about his ambitions.

Zhou Yu bowed and said: "A certain wish to give the power of dogs and horses to do great things." ”

Sun Ce was overjoyed and said: "I have Gongjin, great things can be done!" ”

Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu to meet Zhu Zhi, Cheng Pu and others, and Zhou Yu sponsored Sun Ce's military rations, and two high-spirited young men were ready to cross the river to open up a great cause.
