Then, Liu Chan began to point out the country and take stock of the situation in the world. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In the last years of the Eastern Han Empire, he was politically corrupt and terminally ill and incurable.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty abandoned the government, sang songs day and night, the dictatorship of his relatives, the eunuchs were in power, and finally the eunuchs overthrew his relatives Dou and put the Empress Dowager Dou under house arrest and seized power.

The royal landlords occupied the land by force, levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and exploited them cruelly, so that "the pavilions were distributed in the prefectures and counties, and the acres of land were connected to the country". In addition, droughts, locust plagues, and other natural disasters have continued to occur, resulting in the vast number of peasants living in poverty, ruining their families, and "displacing themselves from the ravines, marrying wives and selling their children." A bleak scene of "vast land without ploughing, and the people with nothing to eat."

The common people have suffered a lot, the people are struggling to make a living, they are in dire straits, they are miserable, they are full of complaints, and the country is in decline.

Under the dual oppression of government corruption and natural disasters, the rebellion had a vast market, and Zhang Jiao incited the people to launch the "Yellow Turban Uprising" aimed at changing the dynasty. In 184 AD, the peasants of Jizhou first revolted under the leadership of Zhang Jiao, and then the peasants in Yingchuan and Nanyang rose up in response. ”

In the face of the massive "Yellow Turban Uprising", the imperial army was frightened and vulnerable, and the world was in chaos from then on.

The powerful landlords in various localities seized the opportunity to expand their power, forcibly occupy territory, and vied with each other to divide the territory, "merging with each other and strengthening themselves."

Gongsun Du occupies Liaodong; Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan successively occupied Youzhou; Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou; Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou; Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong; Yuan Shu first occupied Nanyang, and then occupied part of Yangzhou; Liu Biao occupies Jingzhou; Liu Yan occupies Yizhou; Zhang Lu occupies Hanzhong; Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu successively occupied Xuzhou; Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others successively occupied the division; Ma Teng and Han Sui occupied Liangzhou; Zhang Xiu occupies Wan.

Then Dong Zhuo entered the dynasty and rebelled, abolished the young emperor, set up the emperor, and later killed the queen mother and the young emperor, proclaimed himself the imperial master, and was good at government affairs, lest the world would not be chaotic, causing a joint crusade against the heroes.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't get used to Dong Zhuo's arrogance and arrogance, and called on the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

The long history of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty has thus begun......

Later generals Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, Wucheng Hou Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Qixiang Hou Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Fenwu General Cao Cao Eighteen Road Princes, began to appear, you sing, I appear.

Since then, the city has changed the banner of the king, the world is in chaos, the heroes have risen together, the swords and soldiers have risen in all directions, the princes have been fighting, the blood has flowed into rivers, the corpses are all over the field, and the dignified Han Empire has become a hell on earth.

The Xianbei, Wuhuan, Southern Xiongnu, and Goguryeo ethnic minorities in the border areas of the empire, and the Qiang, Nanban, Baiyue and other ethnic minorities in the interior rebelled one after another, invaded the borders, looted property, and plundered the population.

Huan and Lingshi, Xianbei called 100,000 soldiers and became a big problem for the empire. Later, due to internal strife, the encroachment on the empire weakened. During the Cao Cao era, Xianbei was divided into three military forces. Budu root has tens of thousands of people, according to the clouds, Yanmen area; Kebi can have more than 100,000 horsemen, according to the Daijun and Shanggu Biansai east of Takayanagi; Suli, Micah and other small groups are distributed in western Liaoning and Yuyang.

The Xiongnu mainly guided the Xiongnu during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, and when they were strong, they once controlled Xianbei and Wuhuan, which seriously threatened the security of the Han Empire. During the time of Emperor Ling, the Southern Xiongnu were in turmoil, Shan Yu Qiangqu was killed, and the Xubu bone Shan died soon after.

Wu Huan Xiong was based in the north and constantly participated in the warlord battles in the late Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, Gongsun Kang, and Yuan Shao all used Wuhuan and Xianbei to attack each other and control the northeast.

The Qiang tribes in the southwest are numerous and widely distributed, and often intermingle with other ethnic groups. Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Qiang and Di mainly lived in Liang and Yi Erzhou, and also participated in warlord melee wars in the late Han Dynasty.

When today's largest force is Cao Cao, the male lord of the north, he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to occupy the time.

Cao Cao followed the advice of the strategist Xun Yu and welcomed back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to control the government. For the local princes who did not obey the orders of the empire, they were ordered to go out in the name of the emperor and eradicate the separatist forces such as Yuan Shu, Lü Bu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao, and Ma Teng.

After the defeat of Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao, the nominal prime minister of the empire, continued to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order no subordinate, and continued to conquer other separatist forces in the name of the emperor, swept through the heroes, unified the north, and became the de facto de facto ruler of the northern regime of the Eastern Han Empire.

Relying on Cao Cao's ascent, the empire once again shone with the last glory, although it was already the afterglow of the sunset!

In this sense, although in the end his son Cao Pi usurped the Han as emperor, Cao Cao was still nominally a Han minister, the head of the imperial government - the prime minister!

Although the Eastern Han Empire at this time has become an empty shell, the face and name are still the Great Han, which has long been replaced by Cao Wei. But Cao Cao insisted on his life's dedication until his death, trying his best to continue the supreme dignity and glory of the empire "those who offend my Han will be punished even if they are far away".

At this point, Cao Cao definitely has a great credit to the country!

Cao Cao was an expert in the civil war, but not an outsider in the foreign war. After suppressing the heroes, they began to use troops to fight outside. He suppressed with a thunderous military strength and a policy of appeasement, discord and control, and effectively ruled the more harmful Zhuhu.

The Xianbei policy of pacification and secession was mainly adopted, supplemented by military strikes, and the Xianbei lieutenant was set up to manage it. After Cao Cao settled Youzhou, the three Xianbei tribes attacked each other to raze and raze.

With regard to the Southern Xiongnu, Qiangdi, and Goguryeo, which were militarily strong, military strikes were the mainstay, supplemented by pacification, discord, and soft policies.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Cao Cao led his army to deal a fatal blow to the Yufuluo Xiongnu army, which was united with the Baibo army and the Montenegrin army, at Chenliu.

In the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao attacked the Xiongnu and called Chuquan Shan Yu in Fuluo and made it attached. Since then, the passive situation of "Hu riding in the boundary, Zhang Xiong domineering" has been reversed.

In the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao divided the Xiongnu into five divisions, each of which was led by its nobles and selected Han as Sima for supervision. Shan Yu Hu Chuquan was left by Cao Cao in Ye as a hostage.

In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan to destroy Agui because of the joint resistance of Yang Qian, Agui and Ma Chao. Send Xu Huang to conquer the Qiang people of Longxian County.

The pacification of Fuyu and Liaodong in the northeast is the main.

Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Kang, took the initiative to kill the brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who were poor and came to vote, and gave the heads of the two to Cao Cao, and was named the Marquis of Xiangping and General Zuo by Cao Cao. Fuyu also took the initiative to pay tribute.

In the fourteenth year of Emperor Jian'an (209 AD), because Goguryeo repeatedly invaded Liaodong, Cao Cao ordered Gongsun Kang to send troops to attack it, break through the capital, burn the city, and the Goguryeo kings Boguzi Baqi and Juan Nujia, each of which sent more than 30,000 households to Kang. Later, it was located in Rajang and Obibang-gun (the place of present-day Gyeonggi-do, North Korea, and Chungcheong-do).

Gongsun Kang opened up the territory, defended the territory, became a country of its own, dominated Liaodong, and shocked Northeast Asia.

For Wuhuan, which had a very close relationship with Yuan Shao, it used blitzkrieg military means to deal a devastating blow and completely eliminate the threat of the "Three Counties Wuhuan" to the northern part of the empire.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207 AD) in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Wuhuan accepted Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi as the direct inducement, and after careful preparation, Cao Cao personally led Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Zhang Xiu, Han Hao, Shi Lian, Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Cao Chun and other brave cavalry generals, as well as Guo Jia, Zhao and other strategists, a total of more than 100,000 cavalry main force, tiger and leopard cavalry elite exhausted, virtual country expedition, blitzkrieg Wuhuan. In August, the imperial army suddenly appeared in the White Wolf Mountain, less than two hundred miles away from Liucheng, and the Yuan brothers and the Wuhuan leader never expected that the Cao army would come out of here and gather tens of thousands of horsemen to meet the battle.

The Battle of White Wolf Mountain was an encounter and a life-and-death battle. Wuhuan waited for work, relying on his many soldiers and horses, and attacked Cao's army violently. In the face of the Wuhuan cavalry, which was several times larger than himself, some Cao soldiers showed fear, and the fierce general Zhang Liao took the initiative to ask for help, "persuade Taizu to fight, and he is very angry." Cao manipulated the horse to climb the White Wolf Mountain, and saw that the Wuhuan army could not be deployed, the formation was loose, and there were many loopholes, and he was overjoyed: "It's all a rabble!" He immediately ordered Zhang Liao and Zhang He to be the strikers and lead their troops to charge into battle. When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Zhang Liao slapped the horse and took it straight to the horse, and cut it under the horse. The Wuhuan army that was in a hurry was leaderless and could not be defeated.

In the battle of White Wolf Mountain, Cao Cao won a complete victory, pacified Wuhuan in one fell swoop, and occupied Liucheng. The threat of Wuhuan was completely lifted, the remnants of the Yuan clan were swept away, and Hebei was completely unified. and incorporated the Wuhuan elite cavalry to enhance its military strength.
