Fourth, there will be times when the wind and waves will be long
In the third year of the first peace, that is, in the first month of 192 AD, Yuan Shao defeated his biggest enemy in the north of the Yellow River called Jieqiao, Gongsun Zhan, established a military advantage in the north, and was one step closer to the goal of unifying the north.

In the early summer of the same year, an exciting news came, the upstart Dong Zhuo in Longxi who made the people angry and resentful, the people were not happy, and pushed the Han Dynasty into the abyss, died, died at the hands of his personal bodyguard Lu Bu, the most comic thing is that after Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, he was driven out of Chang'an by Dong Zhuo's subordinate Li Dao, Guo Yan, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Dong Zhuo died, and even Cao Zhang's nurses and maids were happy for a while, and the people of the entire Dongjun County also ran to the streets to celebrate in various ways to express their joy.
In May of the same year, the Jiangdong heroes died in Xiangyang, this news Cao Zhang heard by chance from the conversation between his father Cao Cao and Mrs. Ding, Cao Cao was very jealous of Sun Jian, because when talking about Sun Jian's death, Cao Cao said: "There is one less strong enemy." Cao Zhang sighed in his heart, and sighed that the real strong enemy is only now appearing...
In the last month of this year, Cao Cao ushered in a turning point in his life, that is, Qingzhou, another state bordering Yanzhou, has risen a force that cannot be underestimated, they are the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves, together with their families, there are one million people running around in Qingzhou, slaughtering the three county guards of Qingzhou at once, and the limelight is in the limelight. But Qingzhou is obviously not a place to let them come and go, Qingzhou Beihai County Taishou Kong Rong is said to be the descendant of Confucius, in Qingzhou is very famous, he ascended a shout, the other four counties of Qingzhou Taishou have responded, raised troops to drive this group of rabble to the junction of Qingzhou and Yanzhou.
This group of Qingzhou's black sheep flowed to Yanzhou under no way out, Qingzhou magistrates saw that the thieves had left their territory, naturally collected troops, but they suffered the people of Yanzhou, now the nominal boss of Yanzhou is Liu Dai, this person persecuted Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao when he was begging Dong, so that the Yanzhou departments were too guarded, and no one helped the fist helper, so that this Yanzhou assassin died in the hands of Qingzhou thieves, as soon as the assassin died, Yanzhou was nominally an ownerless place, and the Taishou everywhere could not be united, More than one million Qingzhou thieves passed through Chengyue County, invincible, and ruined Yanzhou to a mess, while Dongjun was not affected because it was far away from Qingzhou, but the other Taishou couldn't sit still.
Especially Jibei is too shou Bao Xin, his Jibei County and Qingzhou just border, and many county towns have been captured, so he first sent a letter to express his attitude, welcoming Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou, and leading them to fight against the Qingzhou thieves, this is also because Cao Cao had the courage to call on the princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo's good reputation, and even the notorious Dong Zhuo dared to fight, not to mention the little Qingzhou thief? Cao Cao, of course, was duty-bound, so he took his 1,500 elite soldiers and militiamen from various counties to kill Jibei County.
Before he got there, Bao Xin died in battle, and when he heard the news of Bao Xin's death, everyone in Yanzhou was in danger, and seeing that Cao Cao had already sent troops, he naturally followed Cao Cao's ass with them, and this behavior was tantamount to acquiescing in the fact that Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, when Cao Cao took the army of the Taishou to Jibei County, the Qingzhou thieves were timid, because they had the experience of being driven away by Kong Rong, so when the regular army was killed, they naturally could not match, but they did not dare to run back to Qingzhou, First of all, the three counties of Qingzhou on the border with Yanzhou: Jinan County, Qi County and Le'an County were no longer guarded, and they were burned and robbed, and they were already in a mess, and they couldn't live, and if they ran inside, Kong Rong must have sent them to Confucius to teach, so they sent representatives to surrender to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was a little hesitant at that time, because his soldiers and horses plus the militia did not exceed 10,000 people, and he accepted a million Qingzhou thieves at once, he didn't know if he could eat it, although there were only 300,000 strong young people in a million people, and the rest were old and weak women and children, but these 300,000 people were also thirty times his strength, and when he hesitated, Cao Wei Another important strategist appeared, that is, Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu, who is over 50 years old, strongly advocated Cao Cao to surrender the Qingzhou thieves, choose one out of ten among the 300,000 strong men, select 30,000 people, train them, and form a team of elite soldiers, and the rest of the men are all disarmed and returned to the field to engage in production, and then take advantage of the fact that there is no owner in Jibei County, Qi County, and Le'an County in Qingzhou, and place the disarmed men and the old and weak women and children in the three counties of Qingzhou, and send good generals to guard, fierce generals to train soldiers, and enhance strength.
Cao Cao listened to the great appreciation, and immediately complied, in the last month of 192 AD, Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, ruling a state, and his power spread to the three counties of Qingzhou, at this time Cao Cao had already followed Yuan Shao's footsteps.
Because of this matter, Cao Cao often praised Cheng Yu with Mrs. Ding, saying that he was brave and courageous, and it is worth mentioning that Cao Cao took over Bao Xin's Jibei County and got a good general, that is, Yu Ban, although he was defeated by Guan Yu, but he was still one of the five good generals of Wei.
Fortune tellers often say that people will have good luck in a certain natal year, which seems to be somewhat based, because it is now the last month of 192, that is, this is the year after Cao Cao's third natal year, so he began to be lucky, or lucky, although it came a little late.
In the first month of the fourth year of Chuping, Yuan Shao's elder brother Yuan Shu saw Cao Cao's power rise sharply, I don't know if it was because of his red eyes or because he thought that Cao Cao's foundation was unstable, and he actually led his troops north to attack Cao Cao, but Cao Cao, who was in the year of his birth, was naturally not afraid, and took the Qingzhou army that had just been incorporated to repair Yuan Shu and let him flee to Jiujiang in disgrace.
But the great luck is often with a great decline, Cao Cao, who has risen in power, now has soldiers and land, and has won the battle, thinking that he should call his father Cao Song to enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty with himself, so he sent a letter to let his father come to Yanzhou, but when he passed by Tao Qian's territory on the way, he was killed by Tao Qian's men.
This anger suddenly drowned out all Cao Cao's pride, Cao Cao immediately sent troops to Xuzhou, not only killed Tao Qian in Pengcheng County, Xuzhou, but also slaughtered Pengcheng County, the history books say that "kill hundreds of thousands of men and women, chickens and dogs are not left, and Surabaya does not flow". But Cao Zhang disagreed with this statement, because he saw it with his own eyes, Cao Cao's father was killed, so this time Cao Cao brought several of his sons to the war, even the newborn Cao Zijian brought it, saying that he wanted to take revenge in front of his son, Tu is slaughtered clean, but there are absolutely no hundreds of thousands of people, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion in 184 AD at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population of thirteen states is less than 10 million, where are hundreds of thousands of people from a single Pengcheng County? And it's pure nonsense that Surabaya doesn't flow, Surabaya stays well, and the six-year-old second Cao Pi's urine flows down the stream.
At this time, it was the fourth year of Chuping, in June 193 AD, when the scorching sun was in the sky, Cao Zhang saw dead people for the first time outside the TV, and there were a bunch of them at first sight.
