【Yanzhou】

In the early period of the Three Kingdoms, there were not many assassins (state pastors) in Yanzhou, only Qiao Mao, Liu Dai, Shan Jing, Jin Shang, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and so on.

Qiao Mao, Qiao Mao earlier served as the Assassin of Yanzhou (-189?), and later moved to Dongjun Taishou (189?-191?). Historically, Qiao Mao was not only one of the princes of Duolu Guanzhong who participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo, but also the initiator of this operation, he falsely passed on the Book of the Three Princes to call for the heroes to revolt, and participated in the Sour Jujube Alliance.

Qiao Mao's position as assassin was probably replaced by Liu Dai after Dong Zhuo came to power, so Qiao Mao may be dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo because of this, and also had a conflict with Liu Dai, and was finally killed by Liu Dai.

Liu Dai (189?-192?), Liu Dai took up the post of Yanzhou Assassin after Dong Zhuo came to power because of the recommendation of Zhou Bi, Wu Qiong and others. Later, he participated in the Sour Jujube Alliance, and together with the princes of Zhulu Guandong, he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, killed the Taishou Qiao Mao of Dongjun, and replaced him with his subordinate Wang Qiu. Later, he chose Yuan Shao among his allies Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and finally did not listen to Bao Xin's advice and was attacked and killed by the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Shan Jing and Jin Shang are both nominal Yanzhou assassins, and Shan Jing is the Yanzhou assassin appointed by Gongsun Zhan, and may have never been to Yanzhou. Jin Shang was appointed by the Chang'an court to assassinate Yanzhou, and joined forces with Yuan Shu to fight against Cao Cao, but was defeated miserably and left with Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao first served as the Taishou of Dongjun (191-192) and later as the Pastor of Yanzhou (192-196?). Earlier, Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Zheng Gu, Yu Fuluo and others invaded Yanzhou, and the Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu could not be defeated, and Cao Cao was the emperor, so Yuan Shao recommended Cao Cao as the Taishou of the Dongjun, and Cao Cao defeated all these thieves.

After Liu Dai's death, under the contact of Chen Gong, Cao Cao was recommended by everyone as the pastor of Yanzhou, he first defeated the Yellow Turban thieves who subdued Yanzhou, moved to Juancheng, and united with Yuan Shao to fight against Yuan Shu and other forces. After the death of Cao Cao's father Cao Song, Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou twice in revenge, and killed Xuzhou with a river of blood, which also gave Lu Bu and others an opportunity, and then Cao Cao and Lu Bu fought for a long time, and defeated Lu Bu with the help of Yuan Shao's forces.

Cao Cao soon sent an envoy to meet Emperor Xian, was officially appointed as the pastor of Yanzhou, and after moving the capital to Xuchang, Cao Cao held official positions such as Sikong, controlled the imperial court, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Lü Bu (194-195), after Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou, killed the famous people Bian Rang, suppressed the clans, and slaughtered the people of Xuzhou, which made Chen Gong and others very dissatisfied, so they united with Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao and Zhang Miao's brother Xuzhou Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao to betray Cao Cao and welcome Lü Bu as the new Yanzhou pastor.

Lü Bu and others took advantage of Cao Cao's absence, although they did not take down the state to govern Juancheng, but they only left Cao Cao with three counties, after Cao Cao returned to help, Lü Bu first fought with Cao Cao in Puyang, and the latter two stopped the army, and finally Lü Bu failed to hold on and fled in defeat.

In addition to these figures of the Assassin (State Pastoral) level, Yanzhou people like Chen Liutaishou and Zhang Miao (189-195?) could barely be regarded as princes along the way. Earlier, Zhang Miao was appointed by Dong Zhuo as Chen Liutaishou, and took Cao Cao to participate in the Sour Jujube Alliance, when Cao Cao sent troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, Liu Dai also sent Wei Zi to support Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was defeated in Bianshui.

In history, Zhang Miao had a good relationship with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and later Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao to get rid of Liu Dai, but Cao Cao did not agree but kept Zhang Miao, and even entrusted his family directly to Zhang Miao when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou for the first time. After that, Zhang Miao finally chose to welcome Lu Bu and betrayed Cao Cao because of Chen Gong, Zhang Chao, Yuan Shao and others. After the defeat of Lü Bu, Zhang Miao went south to find Yuan Shu for help, Zhang Chao stayed in the Yongqiu Bao family to fight against Cao Cao, but Zhang Miao was killed by his subordinates on the road, and after the fall of Yongqiu, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao brothers were wiped out by Cao Cao.

【Yizhou】

There are relatively few thorn histories (state pastors) in Yizhou, and there are only a few people such as Xu Jian, Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, Niu Yan, and Liu Bei.

Yin Jian (-188), the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty as the Yizhou Assassin History, it is said that Yin Jian was incompetent, with money to buy the position of Yizhou Assassin History, after taking office, the tyranny of taxation, wanton taxation, annoyance of the people, after the horse made a rebellion, broke through the county, attacked the Yizhou Taishou Mansion and killed the Yinjian.

Liu Yan (188-194), Liu Yan was the proposer of "abolishing Shi Limu", and then sought the position of Yizhou pastor under the persuasion of Dong Fu in the service, and after serving Liu Yan began to divide in Yizhou, he took sole power, and cut off traffic with Zhang Lu to control the Han Dynasty.

After Dong Zhuo came to power, he sent Situ Zhao Qian to lobby Ren Qi and Jia Long to rebel, but Liu Yan put it down, and Zhao Qian was also repulsed. After Li Dao ascended the throne, Liu Yan united with Han Sui and Ma Teng to crusade against Li Dao and Guo Yan, but failed, and his eldest son Zuo Zhonglang and his second son Liu Fan and the second son Zhishu Yushi Liu Dan also died.

Liu Zhang (194-214, 219-), Liu Zhang was recommended by his subordinates as the assassin of Yizhou after Liu Yan's death, and was directly appointed as the pastor of Yizhou by the Chang'an court, although he was the lord of Yizhou, Liu Zhang was weak and could not control the situation, first fell out with Zhang Lu, causing him to stand on his own feet in Hanzhong, and then the general Zhao Wei rebelled, barely pacified, and later even his relative Pang Xi almost rebelled.

When Cao Cao went south to crusade against Jingzhou, Liu Zhang sent envoys to meet Cao Cao three times, but did not get a reassuring reply, and then under Zhang Song's persuasion, Liu Zhang gave up uniting Cao Cao, and instead won over Liu Bei, in the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), Cao Cao sent Xiahou Yuan and others to crusade against Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang was afraid, so he invited Liu Bei to enter Shu, led the wolf into the room, and was finally defeated by Liu Bei, and had to surrender, thus ending the rule of Liu Yan and his family in Yizhou.

After Sun Quan attacked Guan Yu and captured Jingzhou, he reappointed Liu Zhang as the pastor of Yizhou, but Liu Zhang soon died of illness.

Niu Kang was appointed by the imperial court as the assassin of Yizhou at the time of the Yizhou Rebellion, and Liu Zhang was recruited as the secretary, but unfortunately Liu Zhang was not stupid.

Liu Bei (214-219?), Liu Bei led the Yizhou pastor after Liu Zhang's surrender, and then captured Hanzhong with the help of Fa Zheng and others, and proclaimed himself the king of Hanzhong.

In addition to these bigwigs, Zhang Lu, who is entrenched in Hanzhong, is also one of the separatist forces in Yizhou. Zhang Lu (188?/194?-215), Zhang Lu was originally a subordinate of Liu Yan, who was appointed by Liu Yan to seize Hanzhong County, and severed the connection between Yizhou and the imperial court as a thief in the name of Liu Zhang.

Zhang Lu established a political~religious regime in Hanzhong, and later Cao Cao personally led a large army to attack Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu was defeated and surrendered. In addition to Zhang Lu, the rebellious Ma Xiang, Yonghong (in history, Meng Shu was equivalent to Yonghong's followers) and others also briefly seized for a period of time.
