CHAPTER XVI
In 191 AD, the lunar calendar Xinwei, the second year of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shao proposed to appoint Liu Yu as emperor, but without success.
Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo.
The coalition collapsed.
Sun Jian besieged Jingzhou and assassinated Liu Biao in Xiangyang, was ambushed, and Liu Biao was able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou.
Gongsun Chan broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
Yuan Shao defeated Han Fu and occupied Ye. It is reported that Jizhou.
Cao Cao was based in Dongjun, and Xun Yu took refuge in Cao Cao, and later became one of Cao's main advisers.
Liu Yan seized Yizhou.
Liu Bei served as the plain minister.
Since Cao Huachun took over the foreign intelligence work, Liaodong's information can be said to be very well-informed. In 191 A.D., the world's major events, Gongsun Kang learned the details. Many places are different from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in memory.
The first thing was that Yuan Shao, Han Fu and others wanted to abolish Emperor Xian on the grounds that Emperor Xian was young and controlled by Dong Zhuo, and elected Liu Yu of the Han Dynasty and Youzhou (now southwest of Beijing) as emperor.
The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family were the largest family in the late Han Dynasty. In fact, the Yuan family is also the biggest conspirator. Recruit Dong Zhuo into Beijing, the death of the general He Jin, behead the ten permanent servants, and burn the palace. In a series of events, there is the shadow of the Yuan family behind it. It can be said that the Yuan family single-handedly pushed the Han family into the abyss of no return.
If it weren't for the internal discord within the Yuan family, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would fight; If it weren't for the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao would have won by luck; That world will eventually fall into the hands of the Yuan family.
may have seen through Yuan Shao's wolf ambitions, Liu Yu insisted on resigning, and the matter was stopped.
The second thing is that Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuo. In 191, Sun Jian shined. The second time he asked for Dong, it was completely completed by Sun Jian, what were the other princes doing? is dragging Sun Jian's hind legs.
Dong Zhuo's general Huaxiong was killed by Sun Jian; Dong Zhuo personally fought and was defeated by Sun Jian; Dong Zhuo's general, Lu Bu, was also defeated by Sun Jian. Then Dong Zhuo was forced to move the capital to Chang'an, and Sun Jian entered Luoyang, and found the heirloom jade seal in the well while repairing Luoyang.
The third thing is the collapse of the Dong Alliance. Everyone dragged Sun Jian back. Yuan Shu was worried that Sun Jian was powerful and did not supply Sun Jian's military rations; When Sun Jian went to attack Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao reassigned Zhou Ang to be the assassin of Yuzhou, and led his troops to attack Yangcheng, which had been Sun Jian's Yuzhou assassin history; Yuan Shu learned that Sun Jian had the jade seal of the country in his hand, and detained Sun Jian's wife to take the jade seal from Sun Jian.
When Sun Jian got these news, he was very emotional: "The purpose of our joint volunteer soldiers is to save the country. Now that the traitors will be swept away, but there is such a war within, with whom shall I fight with one heart and return to heaven and the next day? After speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed, tears falling like rain. In this case, Sun Jian had no choice but to return to Changsha. The coalition collapsed.
The third event is the death of Sun Jian. On Sun Jian's way back to Changsha, Liu Biao and Yuan Shao united to cut off Sun Jian's return route and grain route, and Sun Jian attacked Liu Biao. Sun Jian defeated the reinforcements of Huang Zu, the general of Liu Biao, and pursued the victory, but was killed by Huang Zu's soldiers at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. This is the end of a generation of heroes.
The lesson that Gongsun Kang learned from this incident is: Marshal, the leader is in command of the battle, and should not always charge at the front line. After all, the leader is pinning his hopes on the safety of the entire force.
As soon as Sun Jian died, Sun Ben (Sun Jian's nephew) removed the siege of Xiangyang and led his troops to Yuan Shu. Sun Jian's forces were temporarily attached to Yuan Shao. If it weren't for Sun Jian's sons Sun Ce and Sun Quan who were capable, then as soon as Sun Jian died, the power of the Sun family would have disappeared.
The fourth thing is that Gongsun Chan broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
The 300,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou (present-day Zibobei, Shandong) in Bohai County (present-day northeast of Wupi, Hebei) prepared to join up with another peasant army, the Montenegrin Army. Gong Zhan, the commander of the captive colonel, led 20,000 cavalry to meet the Yellow Turbans from Youzhou (southwest of present-day Beijing), and the second army fought a fierce battle at Dongguang (southeast of present-day Cangxian County, Hebei). Gongsun Chan broke the yellow scarf and beheaded more than 30,000 people. The Yellow Turban Army abandoned its baggage and crossed the Yellow River to the south. Gongsun Chan set up an ambush on the side of the Yellow River, and suddenly attacked when the Yellow Turban crossed halfway, 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, and countless cars and property.
Of course, there are no You Junda, Zhang Shun, and Ruan Xiaoqi in these Yellow Turban Army, and they are the part of the Yellow Turban Army that is not controlled by Gongsun Kang. As soon as Gongsun Kang learned of the battle report, he sent someone to contact Gongsun Zhan and buy the Yellow Turban captives with gold and silver. Now Gongsun Kang has a lot of gold and silver in his hands, so he no longer uses grain and grass to buy prisoners. Gongsun Chan selected 30,000 young and strong Yellow Turban soldiers to stay as soldiers, and the remaining 40,000 old, weak, sick and disabled captives were sold to Gongsun Kang at a high price, all of whom were Han Chinese, and Gongsun Chan was not castrated this time.
The fifth thing is: Yuan Shao defeated Han Fu and occupied Ye. It is reported that Jizhou.
Han Fu has always been cowardly, and it is not a pity to die. It's a pity that Jizhou's talents Tian Feng, Xianpei, Xu You, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Guo Tu, etc. all belonged to Yuan Shao. Jizhou is a big state at this time, "with a million people, ten years of valley branches", known as the land of heavy capital in the world. Yuan Shao's power was great. Xun Chen is a bet made by the Xun family on Yuan Shao.
The fifth thing is that Cao Cao is based in Dongjun.
Cao Cao was attached to Yuan Shao at this time, and was Yuan Shao's younger brother, and he did not have his own territory.
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 (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei), Dongjun (now southwest of Puyang, Henan) and other places. Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao, who was subordinate to him at the time, to bring troops into Dongjun in order to develop his own power. Cao Cao broke the White Ring Division of the Black Mountain Army in Puyang.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were the Taishou of Dongjun. gave the little brother a little sweetness. Cao Cao has had no territory since he started his army, and now he has a foothold in Dongjun.
Cao Cao's success has too much chance in it; But there will always be a person in the world who succeeds, and that successful person must have too much chance and luck, and he is a legend. It can be said that luck is also a kind of strength.
At this time, Xun Yu saw the situation clearly, put the chips on Cao Cao, went to Dongjun to join Cao Cao, and later became one of Cao's main advisers. Xun Yu is a bet placed by the Xun family on Cao Cao.
Seeing this information, Gongsun Kang smiled secretly: Xun Yue is a bet made by the Xun family on himself, right? It is indeed worthy of a thousand-year-old family.
The sixth thing is that Liu Yan seized Yizhou.
The Liu clan is not a good bird, and they will set themselves up as kings at every opportunity, and there is nothing to say.
The seventh thing is that Liu Bei is the prime minister of the plains
Liu Bei was Gongsun Zhan's younger brother at this time, and Gongsun Zhan gave him a small piece of land. Of course, Liu Bei did not hold it later.
The main event of 191 was these seven things, and the princes had already begun to fight for territory. And when Dong Zhuo died in 192, the magnificent world of controversy began.
But now, Gongsun Kang has kidnapped Diao Chan to Liaodong, will Dong Zhuo still die in 192?
