The mastermind behind the scenes suddenly had eyebrows, and even Zuo Ci couldn't sit still, so he followed Shi A to the mansion of Ding Palace to inquire about the news, and of course, he also took Ding Chong's mansion with him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Caiying stayed behind and gave Zhang Liao some news from Hedong County.

Although Zhang Liao was in Chang'an, the news from Hedong was not broken, and the news from the shadows from all over the country would be reported to him every few days. And a few cronies around Zhang Liao, Zuo Ci is lazy, Shi A is busy, only Gu Caiying is literate and hyphenated, loyal and careful, so Zhang Liao asked her to be responsible for collecting news from the shadows.

Under the lamp, Zhang Liao looked at the messages one by one and lost his mind slightly.

During his few months in Chang'an, the situation in the Kanto region could be described as turbulent.

First of all, it was the second time to discuss Dong in Luoyang. After Dong Zhuo entered Guanzhong, he left Henan Yin and Zhu Jun to guard Luoyang, Zhu Jun secretly conspired with the princes of Kwantung, and was afraid that Dong Zhuo would attack him, so he abandoned his official position and fled to Jingzhou, Dong Zhuo appointed Hongnong Yang Yi as Henan Yin and stationed in Luoyang. When Zhu Jun heard the news, he led his troops to fight back against Luoyang, and Yang Yi retreated. Zhu Jun saw that Luoyang was dilapidated and could not be relied on as a barrier, so he led the army to the east, stationed in Zhongmu County, and sent letters to various states and counties, summoning soldiers and horses to crusade against Dong Zhuo for the second time.

The second crusade against Dong Zhuo included Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, the former Yangzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Qian, Xuzhou Lang Evil Xiang Yin De, Xuzhou Donghai Xiang Liu Kui, Xuzhou Pengcheng Xiang Ji Lian, Qingzhou Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, Yuzhou Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong, Yanzhou Taishan Taishou Ying Shao, Yuzhou Runan Taishou Xu Jue, the former Jiujiang Taishou Fu Qian, and Doctor Zheng Xuan. However, many of them are in a false name, such as the former Yangzhou assassin Zhou Qian, the former Jiujiang Taishou and pious, and the doctor Zheng Xuan did not have any strength at all, just responded.

However, although there were many county guards in the second crusade against Dong Zhuo, the soldiers and horses were worlds different from the first time, only Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian was still more enthusiastic, and sent 3,000 elite soldiers, while other states and counties only sent hundreds of county soldiers, a total of only 6,000 people, plus Zhu Jun's men and horses, the total was only 8,000 people.

Niu Fu sent Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead 20,000 people to resist Zhu Jun in Hongnong. Zhu Jun attacked, was defeated, knew that the people were uneven, outnumbered, so he retreated to Zhongmu and did not advance, and the second crusade against Dong Zhuo ended.

Seeing this news, Zhang Liao sighed secretly, Zhu Jun is undoubtedly one of the few generals in the Kwantung who is still loyal to the Han Dynasty, but in this troubled world, he is alone after all, and he lacks the strength to return to heaven. In this crusade against Dong Zhuo, Tao Qian also said that Zhu Jun was the acting general of the chariot cavalry, not a general or a hussar general, but a chariot general, which was clearly the face of Yuan Shao, who was called the general of the chariot cavalry. Zhang Liao could see from this point that Tao Qian had already formed an alliance with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan at this time.

And in Jizhou, it is also a mess.

First of all, Gongsun Zan learned that his younger brother Gongsun Yue was shot by Zhou Ang, the assassin of Yuzhou sent by Yuan Shao, in Yingchuan Yangcheng, and he got an excuse to wave his troops south to fight Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's foothold in Jizhou was not stable at this time, how dare he respond to the war, and immediately sent someone to ask Gongsun Chan for peace, and handed over the Bohai Taishou seal letter to Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan, and appointed Gongsun Fan as the Bohai Taishou.

Although Gongsun Zhan won Bohai County without blood, he coveted the entire Jizhou, how could he give up because of this, and stationed troops in the south of Bohai and Haipi, ready to attack Yecheng at any time.

The disaster is not a one-way street, just when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were about to break out, more than 100,000 Montenegrin troops of Yu Poison and other troops in the southern section of Taihang Mountain suddenly attacked Yecheng in Wei County and attacked Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was faced with a situation of attacking from two sides, and the situation was precarious. Fortunately, there is a group of strategists under him, as well as Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Chun Yuqiong, Gao Gan and other generals, although the soldiers and horses are less than the Montenegrin army, but the tactics and combat effectiveness are above the Montenegrin army. After a bitter battle in October, Yuan Shao defeated the Montenegrin army in Wei County, and the leaders of the Montenegrin army such as Moshan, Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zhenggu led more than 100,000 Montenegrin people to disperse and turn east to attack Dongjun, intending to converge with the Qingxu Yellow Turban.

At the same time, Yuan Shao's previous layout also worked, and the 300,000 yellow turbans in Qingzhou went north, containing Gongsun Zhan, which made Yuan Shao breathe a sigh of relief and began to quickly rectify the counties under his control.

Since the failure of the Zhangjiao Yellow Turban in the first year of Zhongping, the rest of the Yellow Turban has been divided, and now, the three largest strands are Black Mountain, Baibo and Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Really speaking, compared with Montenegro and Baibo, only the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is the descendant of the original Yellow Turban, and it is also a Yellow Turban that has always respected Taiping Road. Qingzhou Yellow Turban follows the Taiping Taoist teachings of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao, and the gods enshrined are Huang Lao, that is, the Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, and believe that the world at the time of the Yellow Emperor is a peaceful world, the most beautiful world, no exploitation and oppression, no hunger, cold and disease, no fraud and theft, and everyone is free and happy.

But it backfired, since the death of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, the Yellow Turban Army lacked spiritual leaders, coupled with blind expansion, has long been out of control, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, Qingzhou has been the most chaotic state, 300,000 Yellow Turbans are like locusts transiting, coupled with natural disasters, over and over again devastated the land of Qingzhou, officials died, the people did not dare to farm, or joined the Yellow Turban, or fled everywhere, resulting in barren land, green and yellow. Approaching the cold winter, the hungry and frozen Qingzhou Yellow Turbans went to attack Taishan County in order to plunder grain, and the other part prepared to attack Bohai County in the north.

But then the part of the Yellow Turban Army that attacked Taishan County lost the battlefield and was defeated by Taishan Taishou Yingshao Fortress City, and also turned north, so far the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army moved in unison, and all turned their targets to Bohai County in the north.

Although Gongsun Zhan was famous, he couldn't intimidate the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army who were hungry and cold.

November was already a bitterly cold day, although there was no snow, but the surging Yellow River was frozen at the beginning of the month, and now it is already three feet freezing, which just provides convenience for the 300,000 Yellow Turban troops to cross north.

Qingzhou Yellow Turbans went north, Gongsun Zan received the news, and was not willing to be passive, personally led the White Horse Yicong and 25,000 Youzhou elite foot cavalry, from Bohai County's county governance Nanpi County to the south, into Dongguang County, ready to fight with 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans here.

With 30,000 against 300,000, there was a huge disparity between soldiers and horses, but Zhang Liao knew that Gongsun Zhan would win. In addition to Gongsun Zhan's elite soldiers and horses and rich combat experience, the Yellow Turban Army did not have the same general as Bocai a few years ago, and it was difficult to control large-scale operations. What's more, there are Liu Guanzhang and the three of them under the command of Gongsun Zhan, who are also a new force.

Jizhou is in chaos, Qingzhou is in chaos, and Yanzhou is also in chaos.

After Yu Poison and other hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops were defeated by Yuan Shao, they attacked Yanzhou East County to the east. The Montenegrin army invaded from all sides, and entered other counties and counties in Yanzhou, and engaged Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei.

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was dormant in Chenliu, saw an opportunity and did not hesitate to lead his troops north into Dongjun to fight against the Montenegrin army.

After Cao Cao entered Dongjun, he stationed his soldiers and horses in the area of Dongwuyang and Dunqiu in Dongjun, backed by Wei County in Jizhou and Yuan Shao, like a nail, forming a line of defense with Liu Dai and Baoxin of Jibei Assassin Shi and Baoxin of Jibei, firmly blocking the convergence of the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army.

Yuan Shao stabilized the counties of Jizhou while putting his energy into the land of Yanzhou. He ignored Qiao Mao, who had never dealt with him, and in the name of the general of the chariot cavalry, he recommended Cao Cao, who was fighting hard with the Black Mountain Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Zhenggu and other departments in Dongjun, as the Taishou of Dongjun, which was regarded as completely pulling the little Cao Cao into his chariot, and also helped Cao Cao, but Yu Poison Army was strict in discipline and brave in battle, and he was good at using soldiers such as Cao Cao, and he also had the upper hand for a while.

And Yuan Shu, who was far away in Nanyang, was not willing to be lonely, seeing his brother Yuan Shao based in Jizhou, he was jealous and angry, and it was beyond the reach of Yuan Shao to attack Yuan Shao across the Yellow River, so he put the battlefield of the two brothers in Yanzhou, and aimed at Yuan Shao's ally Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu hated that most of the scholars under the Yuan clan in Runan were attached to his brother Yuan Shao, not himself, so he wrote a letter to Gongsun Zhan on the one hand, rumoring that Yuan Shao was not the son of the Yuan family, in other words, a wild seed, to attack Yuan Shao in name and prestige, and on the other hand, he united with the Yanzhou assassin Shi Jinshang and Xuzhou assassin Shi Taoqian, who were appointed by the Guanzhong court, and prepared to attack Yanzhou to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Dai, the Yanzhou assassin who was close to Yuan Shao.

In addition, there was also news that made Zhang Liao a little emotional, and as expected, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian died! Died at the hands of Liu Biao.

Since Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian who went north, the local armed forces in Jingzhou were prevalent, and they were in chaos. Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Biao, the former lieutenant of the Northern Army, as the assassin of Jingzhou, originally in order to remove the troubles, but although Liu Biao was famous, he was also a fierce man, with Zhang Liao sent to help Zhao Wu 800 cavalry as capital, and borrowed the power of local wealthy clans, and Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Huang Zu and other joint conspirators, lured 55 thieves to the banquet, killed them all, attacked their subordinates together, and based on these tribes, sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to persuade the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng who were entrenched in Xiangyang to surrender.

With the help of the family, under the means of thunder, Liu Biao quickly controlled the six counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County, based on Jiangling in the south and Xiangyang in the north, recruiting troops and horses to observe the changes of the times. Although it is a cooperation with the family, there are many constraints, but Liu Biao has become a prince who cannot be underestimated.

Zhao Wu naturally sent news to Zhang Liao about these situations, and he knew quite a bit.

Liu Biao controls the six counties of Jingzhou, and the last county, and the richest county, Nanyang, is under the control of Yuan Shu, a mountain can not accommodate two tigers, the two inevitably have a quarrel, Yuan Shu watched Jingzhou, Liu Biao secretly allied with Yuan Shao, marched into Deng County and Fancheng in Nanyang County, and controlled Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu was furious and immediately ordered Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao and capture Jingzhou. At that time, Zhang Liao's forces withdrew from Yingchuan, and Sun Jian was occupying Yingchuan, but after receiving Yuan Shu's order, Sun Jian did not dare to hesitate, and ordered the eldest Sun Ce to garrison Yingchuan, and he led his troops south to attack Liu Biao.

Liu Biao sent his subordinates to fight Huang Zu between Fancheng and Deng County.

Sun Jian is worthy of the Jiangdong Tigers, almost invincible, after leading the troops south, first defeated Huang Zu between Fancheng and Deng County, and then pursued all the way to the victory, crossing the Han River, until the army came to the city of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang Antarctic Lake Xiang, north control Guanluo, dominate Hanshang, is the middle line of the north and south of the Han Dynasty, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Biao is not out of the city, Sun Jiantun soldiers under the city. Liu Biao also sent Huang Zu to go out of the city south by night to the six counties to mobilize soldiers.

Huang Zu returned with his troops, went out of the city to fight Sun Jian again, and then was defeated by Sun Jian again and fled to Da Xian Mountain outside Xiangyang City. Sun Jian led his troops in pursuit, but was ambushed during the pursuit, and Huang Zu's ambush soldiers fired dark arrows from the bamboo forest, Sun Jian was killed by an arrow, and a generation of generals fell.

Sun Jian's death was also a big loss to Yuan Shu's forces, and he lost a sharp knife.

Ji, Qing, Xu, Yan, Henan, Jing, Kanto can be described as a chaos, the princes united with each other and attacked each other, but in Zhang Liao's view, after all, it was a struggle between two major forces, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Dai, Liu Biao allied, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian allied, everything is still attached to the names of their two brothers.

The Runan Yuan family is the first family in the world, and it is not just talking.

The situation in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou is complicated, and Zhang Liao in Jingzhou has already sent Zhao Wu, in addition, it is Qingzhou that makes Zhang Liao excited, and hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves in Qingzhou are the best source of tuntian, but he is now out of reach, so he can only give up Qingzhou in Guanzhong.

After all, Guanzhong is about his big plan, and Qingzhou is just a little Tuntian young and strong, as for the so-called Qingzhou soldiers, Zhang Liao does not have such strong expectations, religious soldiers and horses have always been the most difficult to control, strong control trouble, laissez-faire trouble.

Historically, Cao Cao collected 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and took his elite Qingzhou soldiers, some people think that "the rise of Wei Wu began from here", but in fact, Cao Cao's victory over a million Yellow Turbans is of course his greatest political capital, but if this Qingzhou soldier is his largest military capital, it is absolutely wrong.

In Cao Cao's previous battles, the Qingzhou soldiers did not play their due strength, Lu Bu Cao Cao Yanzhou battle, Lu Bu attacked the Cao army with cavalry, the Qingzhou soldiers were defeated at the touch of a touch, and Cao Cao's headquarters were scattered, Cao Cao was missing in this battle, and he did not return for a long time, and the Cao camp generals almost thought that Cao Cao was dead! Then in the battle against Zhang Ji, the Qingzhou soldiers wantonly plundered materials, were undisciplined, and were disposed of by the ban, crying father and mother to cry to Cao Cao. Then the battle of Guandu, the battle of Chibi, the Qingzhou soldiers did not have any proud achievements, and finally Cao Cao died of illness, the Wei State was shaken, and the army as a pillar should have played a mainstay and stabilized the situation, but the Qingzhou soldiers fled with great fanfare and broke away from Cao Wei. Therefore, Qingzhou soldiers can be called a big pit.

The Kwantung region was in chaos, but for Zhang Liao, there was also good news, whether it was Hedong or Shangdang, Tuntian was very effective, the treasury began to be full, and the people were free from hunger and rejoiced.

The schools were built one by one, and a group of Confucian teachers and students were quite happy, and under the condition that the outstanding ones could be exempted from tuition, many children from poor families or poor families in nearby states and counties came to Hedong one after another.

The situation in Hedong and Shangdang can be described as very good, and Taiyuan County is also in the process of pacification.

On the second day, Shi A and Zuo Ci, who went to the Ding Palace, had not found anything, but Wang Yun of Situ Mansion suddenly sent someone to secretly send a golden crown to Zhang Liao and invited him to the mansion.
