The difficulty of Yanzhou

In December, Sikong Zhao Wen resigned. On the 27th, Zhang Xi, the captain of the guard, was promoted to the position of secretary.

This year, Liu Rong, the king of Langya, died and was temporarily removed.

On January 13, 194, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to amnesty the world and change the Yuan to Xingping. On the 17th, 14-year-old Liu Xiexing was served. On February 1st, there was a concerto to ask for the post. Liu Xie issued an edict refusing "The imperial concubine has not been buried properly so far, how can I have the heart to care about the choice of the harem", so on the 5th, Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren was posthumously named Queen Linghuai. On the 7th, he was reburied in Wenzhao Mausoleum. On the 10th, Liu Xie's nationality was Tianli.

Tao Qian couldn't resist Cao Cao's onslaught and asked Tian Kai for help. Tian Kai sent Liu Bei to the rescue. Liu Bei had thousands of his own soldiers, and Tao Qian allocated 4,000 Danyang soldiers to start fighting against Cao's army. In the end, Cao Jun ran out of food and retired and returned. Liu Bei left Tian Kai, attached himself to Tao Qian, and was appointed by Tao Qian as the assassin of Yuzhou, stationed in Xiaopei.

In March, Ma Teng and Han Sui secretly contacted the ministers of the court, such as the counselor Chong Shao, Ma Yu in the servant, and Liu Fan, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, to prepare a sneak attack on Chang'an and kill Li Dao and others. In the end, the conspiracy leaked, and Chong Shao and others escaped from Chang'an and went to Zhihuaili County, Youfufeng County. Ma Teng and Han Sui were defeated by Fan Chou, Guo Yan and Li Li, Li Wei's nephew, at Changpingguan and returned to Liangzhou. After that, the rebels attacked Huaili County, and Chong Shao and Liu Fan were killed. But Li Dao and others didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, so in April, in the name of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, they issued an edict to pardon Ma Teng and Han Sui, and named Ma Teng as General Andi and Han Sui as General An.

In the summer, Cao Cao ordered Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to stay in Juancheng County, Jiyin County, and led his army to attack Tao Qian again. Conquered five cities, slightly to Langxie and Donghai County, and destroyed them. He defeated Liu Bei in the east of Tan County and captured Xiangben County. Tao Qian was frightened and wanted to flee to Danyang County, Yangzhou. But suddenly, Cao Cao withdrew...

The reason for Cao Cao's withdrawal was the sudden mutiny in Yanzhou, which was a base area. This mutiny is related to two people: Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.

Zhang Miao was a good ranger when he was young, and he was friends with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. He was also one of the princes of Dong that year. Because he had accused Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the alliance, he was hated by Yuan Shao and ordered Cao Cao to assassinate him. Cao Cao didn't listen. This time, Cao Cao went east to Xuzhou, and entrusted the whole family with "If I don't pay it back, you can go to Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miao's character Meng Zhuo)", but Zhang Miao was always uneasy because Yuan Shao had ordered Cao Cao to kill him. Chen Gong has a strong and strong temperament, repeatedly contradicts Cao Cao, and has long had the idea of not working with Cao Cao in his heart. The foreign aid chosen by the two was Lu Bu, who escaped from Chang'an due to Li Wei's rebellion and was under the tent of Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, and Yuan Shao. A year ago, when Lu Bushe Yuan Shao returned to Zhang Yang, he passed by Zhang Miao's Chen Liujun. The two had a good feast, and when they parted, they also made an alliance and agreed to save each other in an emergency.

The direct reason that prompted Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to choose to take refuge in Lu Bu and rebel against Cao Cao was that the former Jiujiang Taishou Bian Rang was killed by Cao Cao because of his ridicule of Cao Cao. Bian Rang is known for his talent and is quite famous among the Yanzhou scholars. His murder in this way sparked fear in the Yanzhou Shidaifu group. Chen Gong conspired with Xu Yan, Wang Kai, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao.

When Cao Cao went east to Xuzhou, he ordered Chen Gong to stay in Dongjun, and Chen Gong secretly welcomed Lu Bu into and served as the pastor of Yanzhou (in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Chen Gong parted ways with Cao Cao because Cao Cao killed Lu Bohao's family and said, 'I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me', which is a pure novelist')

Zhang Miao sent his subordinate Liu Yi to see Xun Yu, "General Lu is here to help General Cao attack Tao Qian", but he couldn't hide it from Xun Yu. Xun Yu urgently summoned Xiahou Dun, the Taishou of Dongjun stationed in Puyang. On the night of Xiahoudun's arrival, he killed dozens of rebels to stabilize the situation in Juancheng, but Puyang had been occupied by Lü Bu.

Yuzhou Shi Guo Gong led tens of thousands of troops to Juancheng City to see Xun Yu. Xun Yu ignored the opposition of Xiahoudun and others, went to meet, and finally scared off the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

At this time, all the counties and counties of Yanzhou had surrendered to Lü Bu. Only the three county towns of Jiyin County, Juancheng County, Fan County, and Dong'e County are still in Cao Cao's hands. Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xiahoudun and others urgently reported the news to Cao Cao on the one hand, and on the other hand, they stubbornly defended these three county seats. Lü Bu's deployment was for Chen Gong to attack Dong'e County, Fan County to attack Fan County, and Lü Bu himself to attack Juancheng County. Xun Yu decided to defend Juancheng by himself, Fan County was guarded by Jin Yun, and Dong'e County was guarded by Cheng Yu, a native of Dong'e. Cheng Yu was rushing to Dong'e County to drive the corpse, and deliberately passed through Fan County, went to see Jin Yun, and encouraged him to guard the city with his heart. Jin Yun said that although his family is now in the hands of Lu Bu, he still doesn't dare to have two hearts. In the end, Jin Yun set up an ambush and assassinated Pan Ling.

Cheng Yu sent troops to guard the Yellow River crossing in Cangting, and Chen Gong could not fly across it, so he was blocked on the north bank of the Yellow River. Of course, Cheng Yu still didn't dare to slack off, and rushed to Dong'e County as soon as possible, saw the county commander Zaoyi, and arranged defenses.

Lu Bu personally attacked Juancheng County and could not conquer it, so he had to return to Puyang County.

After Cao Cao learned of the unstable situation in the rear, he also quickly withdrew his troops and rushed back. As soon as he saw Cheng Yu, he took his hand and said, "It's not for Mr. Gonggong, I'm afraid that I Cao Cao won't even have a home when I come back", and appointed Cheng Yu as the minister of Dongping State and settled in Fan County. Then in response to Lu Bu's deployment, Cao Cao pointed out sharply, "Now Yanzhou is almost in the hands of Lu Bu, but he failed to occupy Dongping Kingdom, cut off Renchengguo, Kangfu County, Taishan County, which are the only way for me to withdraw troops from Xuzhou, and take advantage of the geographical advantage to attack me, but Xitun Puyang, it is really brave and unscrupulous." Look: I'll attack Puyang and destroy Lu Bu right away."

In May, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Feng Guo Yan was the rear general, Fan Chou was the right general, and opened the palace such as the three dukes, and the Taiwei Zhu Jun, Situ Chun Yujia, Sikong Zhang Xi, and the chariot general Li Dao were the six mansions, all of which held the right to elect. But in fact, the right to elect was only in the hands of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou, and the three princes of the imperial court were useless.

On June 1, Liu Xie issued an edict: Because the four counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Wuwei in Liangzhou are far away from Longxian County, Hanyang County, Liangzhou Prefecture, and there are Hekou, these four counties were separated from Liangzhou and set up as Yongzhou. Handan Shang was appointed as the history of Yongzhou.

On the 2nd and 3rd, there were two earthquakes in Chang'an, Beijing. 30th, solar eclipse, locusts. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty avoided the main hall, issued an edict to sleep on the soldiers, and did not listen to things for five days.

On July 7, Tai Lieutenant Zhu Jun was dismissed. On the 13th, Taichang Yang Biao was promoted to lieutenant and recorded Shangshu. On the 19th, Yang Ding was named General of Anxi, and the opening of the palace was like the third duke.

There is a severe drought in the Sanfu area. From April to July there was not a drop of rain. Liu Xie avoided the main hall to pray for rain, and sent messengers to try the unjust prison and release the prisoners. At that time, rice was sold for 500,000 yuan, and beans and wheat were sold for 200,000 yuan, and people in Chang'an City were cannibalistic. Liu Xie ordered Yu Shi Houwen to take out the rice beans in Taicang Mansion to help the poor, but found that the number of starvation deaths was the same. Liu Xie suspected that the mercy was untrue, so he decided to try it himself. He ordered to take 5 liters of rice and beans and boil porridge in front of his eyes. In the end, it was found that the 10 liters of rice beans could only be boiled into two pots of gruel. Liu Xie was furious and ordered Hou Wen to be punished by fifty canes.

In August, Feng Yiqiang rebelled and was defeated by Guo Yan and Fan Chou.

In September, Situ Chun Yujia was dismissed.

Cao Cao led his troops to attack at night and broke through the camp of Lu Bu's troops in the west of Puyang County, but before he could be happy, Lu Bu personally led his troops to kill. The two armies fought from early morning to dusk, and after dozens of rendezvous, no one in Cao's army could be Lu Bu's opponent, and the situation was very urgent. Cao Cao urgently ordered the recruitment of warriors on the spot, and Sima Dianwei stepped forward, braving the rain of arrows and holding a double halberd, and rushed into Lu Bu's army. The other generals of the Cao army also protected Cao Cao, followed behind Dian Wei, and finally broke through a bloody road and retreated. After returning, Cao Cao immediately made Wei the commander of the capital, and asked him to lead hundreds of soldiers to protect himself around the big tent.

Cao Cao obtained the internal response of the richest man in Puyang City, Tian Clan, and was able to enter the city through the east gate. As soon as he entered the city, Cao Cao ordered a fire to be set at the east gate to show that the cauldron was broken. However, even so, because the Qingzhou soldiers could not resist the strong attack of Lu Bu's cavalry, the Cao army was defeated. Cao Cao himself was even burned on the palm of his left hand and fell off his horse. Thanks to Sima Louyi, he gave up his mount to Cao Cao. The cavalry under Lu Bu did not recognize Cao Cao when they encountered it head-on, but instead asked Cao Cao himself, "Where is Cao Cao?" and Cao Cao, who was in a hurry, replied, "The one riding the yellow horse in front is", so he escaped. After returning to the barracks, Cao Cao wanted to calm the morale of the army, and personally inspected the soldiers and horses overnight, and ordered the construction of siege equipment. After that, the two armies of Cao and Lu confronted each other for more than 100 days. Due to the locust plague that year, the two armies ran out of food and dismissed each other. In September, Cao Cao returned to Juancheng. Lü Bu retreated to Chengshi County, Jiyin County, but was shot away by the local Li Jin, so he retreated to Shanyang Kingdom.

In October, Cao Cao transferred to Dong'e County. At this time, Yuan Shao's envoy suddenly came, saying that Yuan Shao wanted to invite Cao Cao to settle on his territory in Juxian County. Cao Cao was newly lost in Yanzhou, and the army rations were about to run out, so when he saw such a good thing, he wanted to agree. However, Cheng Yu resolutely opposed the sending of people under the fence, and finally persuaded Cao Cao.

In October, Weiwei Zhao Wen was promoted to Situ and recorded Shangshu.

In December, it was divided into Anding County and Youfufeng County as Xinping County.

At the beginning of the year, Ma Teng and Han Sui conspired to attack Li Wei and killed Liu Fan, the eldest son of Liu Yan, who was the internal response, and Liu Yan's second son Liu Dan was also implicated and imprisoned and died. Liu Zhang, the only young son who is still alive, escaped from Chang'an with the help of his father's friend Pang Xi and entered Shu to meet his father. Yizhou Prefecture Guanghan County was burned to the ground due to a fire, and Liu Yan decided to move the state to CD County, Shu County. This fire burned not only Luo County, but also Liu Yan's life. Soon, Liu Yan died of gangrene in his thoughts of his son. Zhao Wei, a local official in Yizhou, and others jointly supported Liu Zhang, who was Wenren, to succeed him as the assassin of Yizhou, but the Chang'an court issued an edict to seal Hu Mao as the assassin of Yizhou. Liu Zhang's subordinates took Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and others as the main commanders, raised troops to attack Liu Zhang, and fled into Jingzhou after defeat. In the end, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty still issued an edict to entitle Liu Zhang as the pastor of Yizhou. Liu Zhang appointed Zhao Wei as the general of Zhengdong Zhonglang, and led the army to be stationed in Quren County, Ba County, preparing to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

This year, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian died. Before he died, he ordered his own don't drive Elk Zhu, "If it is not Liu Bei, you can't settle this state", so after Tao Qian's death, Lu Zhu led the people of the state to Xiaopei to welcome Liu Bei as the lord of Xuzhou. Liu Bei didn't dare to say, "Yuan Shu is close to Shouchun County, Jiujiang County, and the Yuan family is expected by everyone, you can let him lead Xuzhou concurrently" But Chen Deng, the captain of the Diannong School, Kong Rong, the minister of Beihai State, and others all opposed Yuan Shu, and Liu Bei agreed to take Xuzhou temporarily.

Two years ago, Ma Riyan and Zhao Qi were edicted to pacify the eastern part of the country. After coming to Shouchun, Yuan Shu did not give face at all. Zhao Qi is unwilling, and Yuan Shu is still a little jealous. And Ma Riyan is relatively weak, so Yuan Shu doesn't pay attention to it. If you look at the deception, you will not pay it back. and to force Ma Riyan to be his own military advisor. Ma Riyan was reluctant and repeatedly begged to go, but Yuan Shu never allowed it. In the end, Ma Riyan was so angry that he vomited blood and died.

This year, the 20-year-old Sun Ce, known as the "little overlord", officially stepped onto the stage of history and began to establish the foundation of the Sun Wu regime in Jiangdong in the future. In Jiangdu, he married Haojun and had the ambition to avenge his father and grandson.

Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin and Yuan Shu were at odds, and Yuan Shu appointed Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing as Danyang Taishou and asked him to lead troops to attack Zhou Xin and capture Danyang County. He also appointed Sun Ce's subordinate brother, Sun Ben, who was in charge of the rest of Sun Jian's troops after Sun Jian's death, as the commander of Danyang. After Sun Ce entrusted his mother and younger brother to his subordinate Zhang Hong to take care of, he went to Shouchun alone to see Yuan Shu. Weeping begged Yuan Shu to return the old ministry that Sun Ben had given to his father. Of course, Yuan Shu refused, "Your uncle and brother Cong are now in Danyang County, which is an important place for Sanwu, and there must be elite soldiers, so you might as well go there to recruit them."

Sun Ce, together with Lu Fan, clansman Sun He and others, first went to Qu'a County, Wu County to pick up his mother and younger brother, and then went to Danyang County to join his uncle Wu Jing. and recruited hundreds of soldiers in the local area, but was unexpectedly attacked by a thief named Zu Lang of Jing County, with more than half of the casualties. In desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to see Yuan Shu again. After weeping and begging, Yuan Shu finally agreed to return more than 1,000 people from his father and Sun Jian to Sun Ce, and named Sun Ce as the captain of Huaiyi.

After Sun Ce got his father's old department, he set up a battalion. Once, one of Sun Ce's knights escaped guilty and fled into the inner stable of Yuan Shu's military camp. Sun Ce sent someone to behead this person in the Yuan Shu camp. Then he came to see Yuan Shu in person to apologize. Yuan Shu didn't care either. After this incident, the generals began to know Sun Ce's courage, and the army was afraid of him. Yuan Shubu will Qiao Shen and Zhang Xun all pay homage. Even Yuan Shu himself sighed that "so that Shu has a son like Sun Lang, and there is no hatred in death"
