Chapter 85 Liu Dai is loyal and Cao Cao is profitable
In the autumn of the third year of the first peace, there was a severe drought in various parts of Dahan, coupled with the ravages of locusts, and the grain production was greatly reduced, and nearly one million victims of the Qingzhou disaster peaked and entered Yanzhou under the guidance of the Yellow Turban generals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info captured Rencheng, killed Zheng Sui, the prime minister of Rencheng, and turned to attack Dongping County.
Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, convened all counties to recruit the Yellow Turban Army, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, advised: "The Yellow Turban thieves are more than one million, and the army is flourishing, and the people of Yanzhou are all frightened after hearing it. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and cannot be defeated. It should be avoided. I see that the thieves are all with each other, and the army has no baggage, so it all depends on copying and omitting. It is better to stick to the city, dangerous places, and wait for work. Let them want to fight but no one will fight them, and they will not be able to attack if they want to. After a long time, it will inevitably be separated. Then, with elite troops, take advantage of the situation to attack its vital points, and it will be decided in a battle. ”
Liu Dai said angrily: "You are a coward's behavior. Millions of yellow turbans, nothing more than a bunch of untrained pariahs, look like mustard in my eyes. Once left unchecked, Yanzhou will be completely destroyed by it. The people will wail in pain. We are officials who only know how to protect ourselves, so what face do we have to see the people of Yanzhou. If you are afraid of death, you can defend the city as much as you can, and when I go to conquer the Yellow Turban, then see what else you have to say. After speaking, he went away angrily, rejected Bao Xin's suggestion, and led the army to conquer alone.
did not listen to good advice, thought very highly of himself, and finally paid the price of his life, killing not only himself, but also tens of thousands of troops who followed him. Although the yellow turban is weak, it is as many as ant moths, killing and cutting endlessly. Liu Dai led more than 20,000 people, like a boat drifting in the wind in the sea in the army of millions of yellow turbans. In the end, he was besieged, the whole army was annihilated, and Liu Dai was also killed by the rebels.
As soon as Liu Dai died, the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army was high, and Bao Xin discussed with the state official Wan Qian and others, believing that Cao Cao was the only one to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army. In order to show his sincerity, Bao Xin personally went to Dongjun to welcome Cao Cao to lead the post of Yanzhou assassin. Cao Cao heard that Bao Xin was invited, and went out of the city gate ten miles to greet him, and then took it to the house, and had a large banquet, never mentioning the half word of Yanzhou Thorn History. Even Bao Xin's mention was interrupted by Cao Cao.
Bao Xin couldn't bear it anymore, got up and bowed: "Now Yanzhou is being ravaged by the yellow scarf, the people are wailing, the person who can save Yanzhou is none other than Cao Gong, Yanzhou respectfully asks Cao Gong to serve as the assassin of Yanzhou, and also asks Cao Gong not to resign." ”
Cao Cao hurriedly got up and helped Bao Xin up, and sighed: "The history of the Yanzhou assassin is originally a public office of the court, how can he be privately conferred and accepted. If it's not Cao, it's really limited in ability, and the reputation is not high! ”
Bao Xin understood what Cao Cao meant, and if there was no edict from the court and an invitation from the state officials, he would not go. I had to return to the state officials to discuss, and on the one hand, I invited the emperor on the one hand, and on the other hand, I jointly invited him again.
Dong Table received a letter from the governor of Yanzhou and consulted with the minister. The ministers said: "Yellow turban ant thief, Yanzhou is not Cao Cao can not be quelled." ”
Dong Table groaned for a long time, played the emperor, and gave Cao Cao the history of Yanzhou assassination, quickly exterminated the yellow scarf, and returned the people to peace. ”
After Cao Cao received the order, he quickly led his army to attack the Yellow Turbans, adopting a one-hit strategy and never entangled with the Yellow Turbans. When Shou Zhangdong attacked the Yellow Turban, Bao Xin unfortunately died in battle. Cao Cao cried bitterly when he heard this, and he couldn't find Bao Xin's body. So, he found a craftsman, carved Bao Xin's body with wood, put on the clothes Bao Xin usually wore, and buried him ceremoniously. He also took Bao Xin's son Bao Xun back to his house to support him.
When the people of Yanzhou saw Cao Cao's love and righteousness, they praised each other, and they even had a kind of hatred for the Yellow Turban, and spontaneously fortified all the materials on the wall, and organized Zhuang Yong to participate in the war with Cao Cao.
All of a sudden, hundreds of thousands of people participated in the requisition and siege of the Yellow Turbans.
When Cao Cao got the help of the people and chased the Yellow Turban Army to Jibei, the Yellow Turban Army had to surrender due to the lack of food.
Cao Cao accepted more than 100,000 men, women, and children from the Yellow Turban Army, including nearly 300,000 brave men.
Cao Cao selected their pairs and got about 80,000 elite soldiers, known as 'Qingzhou soldiers'. The remaining remnants of the Yellow Turbans are all in Yanzhou.
Since then, Yanzhou has a population of several million, and Cao Cao has more than 100,000 troops, and his momentum has risen sharply. Yuan Shao was also shocked and jealous when he heard the news. Yanzhou people are even more in awe of everyone.
Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to lead Yanzhou herd, no one objected, and talented warriors from all walks of life came to vote.
Among them, Yingchuan Yingyin people, surnamed Xun, name Yu, Zi Wenruo, son of Xun Sui; I had followed Yuan Shao before, but when I saw that Yuan Shao was plotting and indecided, it was difficult to become a big deal, so I left Yuan Shao and went home to live in seclusion. Hearing the name of Cao Cao, he came to defect.
Cao Cao asked, "Dong Table is fierce in the world, what should I do?" ”
Xun Yu said: "Dong Table's murderous reputation is exposed, and governing the government with violence will end with violence, and it will not last long." The general led the state affairs, and the difficulties of leveling the eastern part of the mountain, the people were all happy and convinced. Then recruit talents, listen to more advice, and deepen the foundation. Based on Yanzhou, relying on the river and the danger of the economy, we can observe the changes in the world and deal with it calmly. ”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "You and this is my ovary!" So he appointed him as the marching horse.
Cao Cao asked again: "I heard that there is a wise man in Yanzhou, a native of Dong'a in Dongjun, surnamed Cheng, named Yu, and the word Zhongde." I don't know where this person is. ”
Xun Yu replied: "Liu Dai once recruited this person, but this person did not obey, and then lived in seclusion in the mountains to study, and the lord can go to ask for letters." ”
Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter to invite Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu was invited to meet.
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw that Cheng Yu was talented, and sealed Cheng Yu as Shou Zhang Ling. He also recruited two celebrities to engage in: one is a native of Changyi, Shanyang, with the surname Man, the name pet, and the word Boning; One is Chen Liuping Qiu, surnamed Mao, named Jue, and the word Xiaoxian. Mao Jue recommended another person, a native of Rencheng, surnamed Lu, whose name is pious, and whose name is Ke. Cao Cao was also hired to engage in it.
Xun Yu also recommended Yingchuan people, surnamed Guo, named Jia, and the word Fengxiao. Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia to talk about major events in the world, Guo Jia said to the end, to the point, which made Cao Cao exclaim: "You must be the one who can help me achieve great things!" ”
Guo Jia replied gratefully: "You are the real lord I am looking for!" "Cao Cao commissioned Guo Jia to be a military sacrificial wine.
During this period, Li Dian trained the army, and learned from Liu Dai's annexed army that there was a person in the army, a native of Taishan Juping, surnamed Yu, whose name was forbidden, and whose words and writings were brave and strategic, and felt that he was a personal talent, and recommended it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao saw that he was skilled in bows and horses and outstanding in martial arts, and appointed him as the commander of the army. At this point, Cao Cao recruited talents, warriors defected, and Yanzhou became more and more stable.
Besides, Dong Table coerced the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, moved millions of people in Luoyang to fill Sanfu and Hongnong, and led the army to block the allied forces, and then abandoned Luoyang to defend Hongnong and Hedong due to the difficulty of grain and grass. After the Allied forces got Luoyang, the army was disheartened, and the supply of grain and grass was too short to break out of the conflict. Dong Table returned to Chang'an with a victorious army, and hundreds of officials went out of the city to greet him. Dong Table felt to himself. is becoming more and more arrogant, please offer the emperor to crown himself as the prince, and sit on the princes and kings. In and out of the court, he made a car uniform, took a green cover car, and hundreds of officials greeted him.
Soon, Dong felt that his merits could be compared with Jiang Taigong, and he wanted to be called 'Shang's father'. attracted Cai Yong to inquire. Cai Yong said: "King Xiwu was mandated by heaven, worshiped Taigong as a teacher, assisted the Zhou room, and crusaded against Wudao. That's why people all over the world call Taigong 'Shang Father'. Now Dong Gong, although your merits are very high, you still have to pacify the Kanto region and welcome the emperor back to Luoyang, so that the matter of respecting you as 'Shang Father' can be discussed at that time.
Dong Table saw that Cai Yong was reasonable, so he never mentioned the matter of 'Shang's father' again.
Soon, there was an earthquake in Guanzhong, and Dong Table asked Cai Yong again. Cai Yong said: "The earth is shaking and flourishing, which is caused by a minister who has surpassed the ancestral system. When you travel in a green cover car, you are also beyond the ancestral system, and many people from near and far are talking about you! ”
How can a rough person at Dong Table get so much, thinking that it is really made by himself, and since then he has changed it to Jinhua soap cover. This Jinhua soap covers the car, and the claws are painted with two flags, which is called the "pole cart".
One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, and this Dong table is no exception. After holding the power, Dong Table made his younger brother Dong Wei, the general of the left, the marquis, and his brother's son Dong Huang as the lieutenant of the military academy in the service and the commander, and was in charge of military affairs. The descendants of the clan, regardless of the old and the young, the men are all marquis, and the women are named the kings.
At the same time, they are worried that Chang'an City is not safe, so they build a dock city in the southeast of Chang'an and live in another place, this dock city is high and thick and seven zhang respectively, known as (long live the dock), and a large amount of grain, gold and silver are piled up in the dock. Self-proclaimed: {It's done.} Male in the world, not successful, this is enough to support the elderly}.
This Chang'an and Yixian are hundreds of miles apart, and Dong Table goes back and forth to Chang'an once every half a month, or once a month. Every time, the court ministers are all waiting to be sent outside the horizontal gate. Dong Zhuo set up a tent on the side of the road and had a drink with the minister.
One day, Dong Zhuo returned to the dock, hundreds of officials sent each other, Dong Zhuo left all the officials to drink, and happened to meet hundreds of soldiers from Zhao'an in the north. Dong Zhuo immediately ordered to cut off his hands and feet, gouge his eyes, cut off his ears, or stew in a large pot in front of the wine table. The sound of wailing shook the sky, hundreds of officials lost their chopsticks, and Dong Zhuo talked and laughed freely.
