In the winter of 205, it was unusually cold in the north.

Hearing of the rebellion in Youzhou, Cao Cao extended his tentacles to Youzhou, which rarely had wars, and Youzhou was the barrier of the north.

When Tao Ying was preparing to Chen Bing on the border of Youzhou, the senior cadres of Bingzhou suddenly broke away from Cao Cao's control and rebelled. The heaven and earth in the north have changed again.

Pengcheng, Xuzhou Mansion, Tao Ying looked at the civil and military forces in the hall, and did not speak for a long time. Jia Xu persuaded on the side: "My lord, if the northern land falls into the hands of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's power will become bigger and bigger, and then it will be a big rival in my Xuzhou!" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, it is a harsh winter at this time, and it is not suitable to fight. Now the people in Xuzhou are rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

The two argued.

Now Xuzhou Mansion is at the time of great development, and money is needed everywhere, and if there is a war, it will drag Xuzhou down for at least three to five years before it recovers. But if you don't fight, you will face greater danger, and Cao Cao is hungry for wolves!

When the two argued, Peiguo Prime Minister Lu Qian persuaded: "Lord, there is a plan to get Youzhou without sending a single soldier!" ”

Tao Ying hurriedly asked what to do? Lu Qian returned: "The land of Youzhou, the land of the Yuan family!" Although everyone hates Yuan Shang, they think of the eldest prince for a long time! ”

Lü Qian wanted Yuan Tan to go and subdue the rebellious Hebei generals. These generals are all following Yuan Shao to fight everywhere, and their hearts are all towards the Yuan family, although the Yuan family is now in decline, but at least there is a son fighting the thief Cao Cao in Jizhou, so they will definitely not choose to surrender to the old enemy, the sworn enemy Cao Cao!

As soon as he said that Yuan Tan should go to Youzhou, everyone was against it, if Yuan Tan went to Youzhou, it would be like a dragon entering the sea!

Tao Ying also knew that if Yuan Tan had so much land and soldiers, he would definitely not be willing to be a prefect under him. So I thought about it and vetoed this suggestion too. After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Xu suggested that it would be better to let Yuan Tan write a letter to Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch, and if the two did not surrender, they would send troops to attack Youzhou!

After half a month of arguing, Tao Ying finally decided to send troops to Youzhou!

Now that water transportation is developed, Tao Ying concentrated the grain and grass of Qingzhou Mansion and part of Liaoning Prefecture to transport it to Liaoxi County of Liaoning Prefecture and Bohai County of Jizhou Prefecture through water transportation, and then carried out the task of attacking Youzhou through the two counties.

Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin army in Zhongshan, had a friendship with Tao Ying when he came quickly, and heard that Tao Ying sent troops to attack Youzhou, so he hurriedly led 50,000 Montenegrin troops to surrender! He knew that the world in the north would eventually be Tao Ying's world, and he heard that the Sky Eagle Army had exterminated the rogue in the south and the bandits in Xuzhou Mansion, and was now heading to the north, so instead of sitting and waiting, it was better to send troops to surrender when Tao Ying attacked Youzhou, clear his name, and then get an official identity by the way!

Hearing that Zhang Yan was coming, Tao Ying was even more happy! Their existence will not only waste their own grain and grass to exterminate them, but also stumble on themselves everywhere, so, as soon as he was happy, Tao Ying appointed Zhang Yan as the minister of Zhongshan, and then took charge of attacking Youzhou from the north of Zhongshan!

After Zhang Yan received the order, he went to Youzhou to recruit some generals who were originally generals under Gongsun Zhan, and then asked them to respond in secret. When Yuan Shao annexed Hebei, there were many generals who surrendered, and when Yuan Shao was there, these generals were still a little afraid, but now that Yuan Shao is dead and his son has run away again, they also want to find a way out for themselves.

Therefore, many Gongsun Chan generals began to act secretly!

In March 206, the north began to thaw, and Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch wanted to join Cao Cao, but Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were concentrated in the land of annexation, and more and more soldiers and horses were hoarded in Bohai State and Liaoxi County.

Especially when I heard that the famous general of Hebei, General Wen Chou, led his troops to attack Youzhou from Bohai State, more and more generals began to want to surrender uncontrollably. Moreover, I heard that Gao Lan, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, would also lead troops to attack Youzhou in Liaoxi County, and the generals of Youzhou were even more restless.

Zhang Yan is moving faster and faster in the rear, in April, Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch grasped the recovery of Jixian County, but Dai County, Zhuo County and Shanggu County north of Zhongshan Kingdom all released information that they had taken refuge in the second son of Xuzhou!

Youbeiping County, which is close to Liaoxi County, heard of Gao Lan's arrival, and also announced the surrender of Gao Lan, and Gao Lan recovered Youbeiping County.

In June, it was a warm time in the north, and the wheat in Youzhou was not yet fully ripe, so Wen Chou led 10,000 troops to attack Guangyang County with the trial as the military advisor and Tai Shici as the vanguard. In July, Gao Ran entered Yuyang County, fought with Zhang Nan in Yuyang, Zhang Nan was beheaded by Gao Lan, Gao Ran captured his people, and Yuyang County was obtained.

Just arrived in July, Wen Chou led the army and horses into Jixian County, the capital of Jizhou. Jixian County is mostly Yuan Shao's old general, the name of Wen Chou, who doesn't know the land of Hebei? Therefore, wherever the Wen Chou army went, the counties and counties heard the wind and surrendered. When he arrived in Jixian County, he saw that there was no one in Hebei to follow him, and he was anxious to surrender. Tai Shi Ci went to tell the boss Wen Chou, but Wen Chou did not allow him to surrender, so Tai Shi Ci had to lead his troops to continue to attack Ji County.

Seeing that Wen Chou was not allowed to surrender, there would be fellow villagers in Jiao Touch's department, so many people went to secretly communicate with Wen Chou, saying that they wanted to kill Jiao Touch and then led the crowd to surrender. Wen Chou saw that he was a fellow villager and couldn't bear to kill him, so he allowed him to surrender. At the end of July, Wen Chou besieged Jixian County, and Jiao Touch's department would cut Jiao Touch's surrender to the city.

After nearly half a year, Wen Chou, Gao Ran and Zhang Yan took over the entire Youzhou! After getting Youzhou, Tao Ying sent Chen Deng, who had a large number of local governors, to serve as the prefect of Youzhou, and set up Youzhou Mansion in Youzhou!

So Chen Deng led a group of staff members who had just graduated from the official school to take office in Youzhou Mansion, after Chen Deng took office, Tao Ying wanted to let Wen Chou sit in the military and political power of the governor Youzhou, but Chen Deng said that Wen Chou was popular, and he would definitely not accept himself, so he asked Gao Ran, who had also made military achievements, to serve as his military and political chief.

So Tao Ying sent someone to serve as the Taishou of Liaoxi County, and sent Gao Ran to serve as the military and political governor of Youzhou. Youzhou belongs to the northern land, Gao Ran is the four pillars of Hebei, so it has a great reputation in the local area, and Gao Ran can suppress the military heart of the north, and once the war starts, tens of thousands of people can be gathered to defend Youzhou!

When Gao Ran took office in Youzhou Mansion, Tao Ying looked at the map, and the threat from the north could basically be eradicated, so it was no problem for Liaoning Mansion to hand over the defense to Liu Ye and others. Moreover, there are still many local generals in the north, plus their own supplies, it should be no problem to protect themselves. So after thinking about it, Tao Ying wanted to transfer Zhang He, a later general, back to Xuzhou to serve as an official.

Now it's 205 years, and it's been eleven years since I came to this strange dynasty in the blink of an eye. And now his righteous son Zhuge Liang is also a 24-year-old young man. For this era, there are many people who become famous at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but Zhuge Liang has always followed him to fight in the north and south but has never led the troops independently, so Tao Ying wants to cultivate him, if he dies, he can be on his own, and don't ruin such a talent because of his own crossing!
