In the same year, the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army launched another uprising. Yuan Shao took the opportunity to write to Cao Cao, asking him to go to Dongjun to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army. Dongjun and Jizhou are across the river, Yuan Shao intends to use Cao Cao to put pressure on Han Fu, and Cao Cao also urgently needs a piece of land, so he immediately agreed.

Cao Cao summoned Cao Ang and said earnestly: "Ang'er, you go out with your father, learn more and watch more." ”

"Yes, father." Cao Ang also understood his identity and responsibility, and did not shirk.

Cao Cao said: "When Dongjun is pacified this time, I will ask Yuan Benchu to recommend you to be filial and honest." ”

Cao Ang smiled indifferently and said, "Father, I don't want Yuan Benchu to recommend me. ”

Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Why?" Don't say that you want Guo Zihong to recommend you! ”

"Children don't want to snort, that's all." Cao Ang's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard it, how could his son be unhappy if he could have such ambitions? "Good! Good! I'm doing well! ”

Within a few days, Cao Cao led his army to Dongjun. The Yellow Turban Army is already looting everywhere, without any time to rest, and directly start fighting!

In the war against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao gained a lot of knowledge and had a lot of ideas in the use of troops. Although six years had passed since the first uprising, these Yellow Turbans had not made much progress due to their peasant background.

Cao Cao's command was determined, and he fought every day, won successive battles, broke the Yellow Turban, and quickly pacified Dongjun. Yuan Shao immediately went to the court and asked Cao Cao to be the Taishou of Dongjun.

After getting the news, Han Fu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. Gongsun Zan in the north was also preparing to go south, and Cao Cao in the south had already arrived in Dongjun. To the east is Yuan Shao's Bohai County, and to the west is Guo Yi's annexed state.

At this time, Xun Chen and others came to Yecheng to persuade Han Fu.

"The general is now under attack on all sides, is there a good way to get out?"

Before they arrived, Han Fu already knew their purpose. It's just that in this situation now, there is really nowhere to go, let it be given to Yuan Shao, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

"I wonder if Mr. has a clever plan?"

Xun Chen said: "The general asked himself, how is his family background better than Yuan Benchu?" ”

Han Fu said patiently: "It's not as good." ”

"How is the talent and learning better than Yuan Benchu?"

"Not as well."

"Shall we extend grace to every family from generation to generation?"

"It's better than itself."

"That being the case, why didn't the general give way to Yuan Benchu. In this way, Cao Cao subdued himself, and Gongsun Zhan did not dare to go south again. The general also has the reputation of being virtuous, and he can be famous for eternity. ”

For Han Fu, this persuasion is just the last decency. At this point, he agreed.

Geng Wu, Fu Zhu and others got the news and hurried to persuade them. "There are millions of people in Jizhou, ten years of grain storage, why are you afraid of Yuan Shao?"

"I am the former official of the Yuan family, and my talent is far inferior to Yuan Benchu, and it is also a virtuous move to give way to him. Everyone, don't persuade anymore. ”

So, Han Fu sent his son to send a seal ribbon to Yuan Shao to give up the position of state pastor.

Geng Wu was helpless and angry, and when he returned home, he took out the whetstone and began to sharpen the knife.

Seeing this, his wife said strangely: "What are you sharpening your knife for?" ”

Geng Wudao: "Yuan Shao is a false person. If Jizhou falls into his hands, it will inevitably be corrupted. But if the lord wants to let me, I have no choice but to sharpen my knife in order to assassinate Yuan Shao! ”

Madame exclaimed, "In this way, the three clans do not exist!" ”

Geng Wudao: "I am the people of Jizhou, what is the regret of dying?" ”

Madame scolded: "Short-sighted! Han Fu is incompetent, and Yuan Shao can't use it. Why don't you find another way? Find a Ming Jun to serve and make great contributions? ”

Geng Wu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized! Touching his beard and thinking, he muttered to himself, "In this world, which Ming Jun is there?" ”

Mrs. said: "Mrs. Guo of Bingzhou is Mingjun!" ”

"You're a woman, what do you know?"

The lady said: "It's not a woman's family, your three clans don't exist!" ”

"But Mrs. Guo may not use me." Geng Wu also knows that Guo Yi is a Ming Jun, but he is an outsider after all, and in this past, it is still a question whether he can see Guo Yi.

The lady said, "If you can dedicate a city, this matter will be done." ”

is talking, don't drive Min Chun to visit. Han Fu decided to give up Jizhou, and immediately his subordinates began to scatter birds and beasts. Min Chun didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to welcome Yuan Shao, so he came to Geng Wu to discuss.

Both had the same idea. Geng Wu told his wife's suggestion. Min Chun was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "In this way, we will go to vote for Mrs. Guo." ”

"It's just that we don't have an inch of work, and Mrs. Guo doesn't necessarily use it."

Min Chundao: "I see that what Mrs. Guo is drawing is not Yecheng, but Changshan!" ”

Geng Wu thought for a moment and said: "Changshan Country is the place where Guo Taifu is prosperous, if we can dedicate Changshan Country and Guo Taifu, we will have to reuse." ”

Min Chun also agreed, people in the late Han Dynasty paid attention to local feelings, Guo Yi was a native of Changshan, and the status of his hometown was different. "I can repair a book, and ask General Cheng Jian to join us and join us to join Mrs. Guo and achieve a great cause!"

"Good!"

The two immediately set about moving. Each took more than 100 people and horses and went north to Changshan Country.

Li Zhang, who controlled the four northern counties, was stationed in Guangchang County on the Taihang Mountain. This is the place where the east goes out of Taihang and enters the Zhongshan country of Jizhou.

Originally, he wanted to go south in one go to plot the Central Plains, and at least take one or two more counties. But Guo Yi's situation in the rear made him have to stop.

He is a righteous brother, and he is naturally a family member. He has made great achievements, winning the four northern counties, and his hard power is second only to Zhao Yun. But between Zhao Yun and Guo Yi, there is more of a heroic sympathy, and it is not his turn to call the shots.

Fan Xin, Wang Ming, and Li Zhang, in the case of Guo Yi having no heirs, the three of them will be the contenders for the next monarch! In terms of strength, Wang Ming and Li Zhang, both internal and external, are not bad.

But Fan Xin is Guo Yi's son-in-law, don't care if the daughter is biological or not, in short, this son-in-law Guo Yi admits it. The administrative power of the forces is in the hands of Fan Xin, and Long Yi and the others are closer to him. He also has a son, who is the grandson that Guo Yi publicly admits! Guo Yi's daughters also trust Fan Xin, and he can talk and laugh with his wife without being discussed.

Wang Ming's letter to Li Zhang made it very clear. The two brothers, in Guo Yi's camp, belong to the marginal figures. It's just a relationship between righteous brothers, so it has entered the core decision-making level. Otherwise, Fan Xin is completely in control of the affairs of the entire force!

"General, what should I do?"

The subordinates are also worried about this. They don't care what the relationship between the upper echelons is, in short, they follow Li Zhang to take refuge, that is, the relationship between prosperity and loss!

Li Zhang is also worried. What is Guo Yi's situation, it is not clear that he is out on the expedition. In the general's mansion, Wang Ming fought alone. Once things change, his current food, grass, and supplies are all in Fan Xinju. He's either going to die or he's going to take refuge in someone else. It's really passive!

If you kill it back, you're afraid! Wang Ming has one life, and he dies. Fan Xin could immediately give Li Zhangan a charge of rebellion, and then mobilize the dragoon battalion to exterminate him. In terms of politics, the two brothers together are not Fan Xin's opponents.

Just when Li Zhang was sad and didn't know what the road ahead was. Joy from the sky! Geng Wu, Min Chun, and Cheng Jian presented the seals of Zhongshan Kingdom and Changshan Kingdom!

In this way, Li Zhang's takeover of these two counties is not a violation of military orders! Moreover, the geographical location of these two counties is quite good. Grain and grass are abundant, and the people are numerous. In case there is a change in the real house, he can completely surrender himself! There are six counties, and you will not be at the mercy of others!

Hurriedly received the seal ribbon, and on the one hand, he wrote back, saying that he would be stationed in Zhending to guard against Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan. On the one hand, he began to arrange the defense of the six counties under his command and prepared for a civil war between the forces.

Fan Xin received the letter and presented it directly to Guo Yi.

Cai Yan took the letter and ordered, "You all go down." ”

Cai Yan finished reading the content of the letter. Guo Yi closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them, trying to make his eyes smile as much as possible.

How did Cai Yan not know? He smiled and said, "I'll write to approve it." There's no personal limit on this, I'm really afraid. ”

Guo Yi blinked twice in agreement.

In fact, if Fan Xin wants to rebel, it is also very difficult. Because in fact, all decision-making power is still in Guo Yi's hands. In other words, it is Guo Yi's signature. The signature was in Zhao Rou's hands, and Cai Yan was only responsible for handling the documents on behalf of Guo Yi, and then making decisions with Zhao Rou.

Long Yi, as Guo Yi's confidant and the person who controls the defense of the General's Mansion, can still convey orders as long as Guo Yi is not dead. He will never make a move to establish a new king.

Cui Miao is not a fuel-efficient lamp in the place, with the Wang family as a backer, and Guo Yi's righteous son in hand. She can also mediate. As for Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang He and other generals, they all only listened to Guo Yi.

However, as long as the wind is still there, there will always be pigs blown up! A qualified monarch must not let his subordinates see the slightest opportunity to rebel!

It doesn't matter if this subordinate is Fan Xin, Wang Ming, Li Zhang, or Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Cui Miao. No one, even their own own sons, is no exception! As long as Guo Yi is alive, anyone who has thoughts about his position and poses a threat is a capital offense!

At the end of May, a shocking news reached Taiyuan City.

Jiangdong Tiger - Sun Jian. He's dead!

Sun Jian and Yuan Shu attacked Liu Biao in Jingzhou together, but they didn't expect to be beaten by Liu Biao! Sun Jian had a strong and impulsive personality, was ambushed and killed by Huang Zu. His son Sun Ce defected to Yuan Shu with his family, and all the soldiers, horses, and generals also belonged to Yuan Shu's army.

And the only beneficiary of this battle is to take the opportunity to take down Yuan Shu in Nanyang! Nanyang has a large population and is rich in swords, which is the land of Emperor Guangwu's dragon prosperity! With Nanyang, there is an arsenal. Coupled with the land of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu became the second most powerful prince in the world!

Even after a few years of operation, it will surpass Guo Yijun! In terms of cultivated land and population, it is no match for Jiananyang County, Yuzhou, which has a population of nearly 10 million!

Guo Yi had expected these things. He has always tried to reduce the influence on historical figures as much as possible, so that he can predict the trend of the situation in the world well before he develops and grows.

But from now on, he can't predict anymore!

Yuan Shao did not get the whole of Jizhou, and attacked Changshan State three times in a month, but they were all beaten back. Gongsun Zhan's attack on Zhongshan was also defeated. As a result, Gongsun Chan formed an alliance with Yuan Shao and came together to deal with Guo Yi.
