At the same time, Cao Cao, who was in the Central Plains, also developed, and in April, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army invaded Yanzhou again.

In the case that Cao Cao deliberately avoided the battle and could not come out, he made great progress, even broke the counties of Yanzhou, and even killed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, in front of the battle.

The rest of the officials in Yanzhou couldn't support it, so Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, and others went to Dongjun in person to welcome Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao "shirked" again and again, and finally agreed to the request of Bao Xin and others, and led the army and Bao Xin to attack the Yellow Turban.

During this period, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, died in battle to save Cao Cao at the age of forty-one. Cao Cao offered a bounty to find Bao Xin's body, but did not find it. Everyone then carved the appearance of Bao Xin with wood, Cao Cao shed tears to sacrifice him, and all his subordinates were received by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao "set up strange volts, day and night battles", and after several twists and turns, he finally defeated the Yellow Turban.

Cao Cao then waved his army to recover the land occupied by the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and in the winter of that year, he was surrendered more than 300,000 soldiers, with a population of more than 1 million, and completely pacified Yanzhou.

Cao Cao collected his elite and formed an army, called Qingzhou soldiers, with tens of thousands. The rest of the captives were arranged by Cao Cao to be used by the Qingzhou army for training and campaigning.

Further north, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan fought repeatedly, and the two sides won and lost in the battle between Longcuo and Jumashui.

Yuan Shao's soldiers also grew up in constant battles, backed by Jizhou, which was rich in materials and people, and the support of many families, Yuan Shao could afford to fight a war of attrition.

In this way, Yuan Shao, who was originally at a disadvantage, was gradually able to stalemate with Gongsun Zhan.

Compared with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan's foundation is far away in Beiping, the transportation of grain and grass, and the replenishment of soldiers' armor are much farther away, plus Youzhou is a bitter cold place, Gongsun Chan is still gritting his teeth and holding on, if nothing else, the two parties can only lose in the end.

But Yuan Shao, who has Jizhou, when it comes to the recovery speed, is several times that of Gongsun Zhan. All this is to blame Gongsun Zhan for his own waves, if you don't die at that time, the whole Hebei is yours, how can there be Yuan Shao's business.

Turning his gaze back to the south, Jiang Hong has not relaxed carelessly since defeating Wu Jing, but is actively preparing for the war. Because Jiang Hong knows that if he hits the small ones, the big ones will come out, but fortunately, if he hits the big ones, there will be no more old ones.

As Jiang Hong expected, it didn't take long for the news of Yuan Shu's mobilization from the north, led by Zhang Xun, and the corporal under his command had 60,000 soldiers.

Jiang Hong now has only more than 20,000 soldiers in Danyang, but fortunately, Chen Dao in the south did not make Jiang Hong wait too long.

Chen Zhi led 15,000 new soldiers from Wu County south to capture Huiji, Huiji had nothing to stop Chen Zhi's footsteps, and soon, Chen Zhi captured Huiji, and his own casualties were very small.

When he took Huiji and went north to support Jiang Hong, the number of soldiers under his command not only did not decrease, but increased to 25,000.

After joining Jiang Hong, leaving behind the necessary defenders in various places, Jiang Hong now has more than 40,000 soldiers in his hands, and he also has a little confidence to compete with Zhang Xun in his heart.

However, Jiang Hong still needs to be cautious, Zhang Xun's use of troops is very simple, he never uses strangeness, it is just a word, steady, outrageously stable.

Zhang Xun relied on his large number of soldiers, leaned on Runan, camped step by step, marched 20 miles a day, and established a qualified defense every day before the sky was dark, without missing the slightest flaw, and did not give Jiang Hong the slightest chance.

Zhang Xun steadily captured the northern counties of Jiujiang on the edge of Runan County, as well as the Yinling Tomb, the seat of Jiujiang.

In fact, it can't be said that it was captured, everywhere Zhang Xun's army went, the cities were all open and surrendered, relaxed and pleasant.

Similarly, Jiang Hong did not intend to introduce the war into Danyang, which he had just taken, so he led the army to capture Jiujiang and capture the counties in the south of Jiujiang at the same time.

Zhang Xun garrisoned Yinling, while Jiang Hong led a large army into the historical city, located at the forefront of the two armies in Hefei.

Taking the rich Jiujiang County as the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, to be honest, Jiang Hong was a little distressed, but Jiang Hong couldn't eat Jiujiang for the time being, and he couldn't push the battlefield out.

Not far to the left of the Yin Tomb is Jiang Hong's old nest Guangling, but the main purpose of Zhang Xun's trip is not to seize the city and land, but to completely eliminate Jiang Hong.

Once Jiang Hong was destroyed, the southeast was completely reduced to a borderless land, and the land of Huainan in Yangzhou naturally fell into the hands of Yuan Shu.

On the contrary, if Jiang Hong is ignored and attacks Guangling first, Jiang Hong will take the opportunity to attack Runan.

If you change your home, for Yuan Shu, you will be inferior.

It just so happened that Jiang Hong was also afraid that Zhang Xun would invade his own territory, he had been operating in Guangling for so long, and he was captured by Zhang Xun, Jiang Hong was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger.

Jiang Hong could only put on a decisive appearance, stationed troops in Hefei, and looked at Yinling from afar.

At the same time, Jiang Hong also prepared a follow-up and ordered Lu Su to send an envoy to Jingzhou, and it was best to form an alliance with him to resist Yuan Shu together.

However, this time the road is far away, and Lu Su is a well-known honest man in history (at least Jiang Hong's impression is like this), to be honest, Jiang Hong does not have much hope.

As for why he didn't send the more mature and experienced Gu Yong, Gu Yong was busy helping Jiang Hong appease those big families and persuading them not to jump out and make trouble when Jiang Hong and Yuan Shu were at war.

Zhang Hong was a diplomat arranged by Jiangdong in the Han court in history, and he was able to stand alone in the unfathomable court, although Jiangdong supported him, but Zhang Hong's ability should not be underestimated.

Although Zhang Hong is not very conspicuous in Jiang Hong's camp, Zhang Hong has always silently presided over all the affairs of Jiang Hong's counties.

Especially when Jiang Hong was fighting abroad, Zhang Hong did his best to take care of Jiang Hong's rear and not cause trouble to Jiang Hong, who was fighting on the front line.

Although Lu Su has potential, he is still too young at the moment, but Jiang Hong has looked at the past, and only Lu Su can envoy to Jingzhou, which is also a helpless move.

As for Zhuge Jin, although he is 17 years old and can also serve as a county guard, Jiang Hong feels that he still has to practice for a few years before he can be released, and now he is still by Zhang Hong's side and shares affairs for him.

This battle can be said to be the most important battle that Jiang Hong has crossed so far, winning, suppressing Yuan Shu's arrogance, so that he does not dare to invade easily, and Yangzhou has naturally become his own bag.

Living in the land of Huainan, concentrating on development for two years, and pulling out 100,000 elite soldiers, it can make people all over the world look sideways.

As for losing, of course, he lost so much that he didn't even have his pants left, and if it was good, he escaped, but Jiang Hong could only go to Cao Da, be a rich man, and spend his life in peace.

If it's bad, the lights will go out, and there won't even be a tombstone, and the book will be cut in half.
