Again beat the more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Army in Taishan County, very brave, it only took more than a month to connect more than 10 cities in Dongping County and Shanyang County, and the strength of the army quickly increased to 200,000 people.

The 150,000 Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro echoed each other from afar, poured out of the nest, occupied more than ten counties in the eastern part of Bingzhou and three counties in the north of the wealthy Sili Hanoi County, and its forward 30,000 horses and horses under the personal leadership of the commander Zhang Yan have attacked the Inner Yellow Line on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Gongsun Chan gathered 120,000 Youzhou troops, made a comeback, and attacked fiercely when Yuan Shao divided his troops, occupying all the counties of Jizhou except Wei County in one fell swoop, if it were not for the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army to invade the Changshan State to the west, forcing Gongsun Chan to mobilize troops to relieve the danger of the flank, I am afraid that Yuan Shao and Han Fu would not even be able to keep the last Wei County.

Yuan Shao, who was attacked on both sides, was anxious for a while, and on the one hand sent someone to ask Cao Cao to send troops to help, and on the other hand, he sent a letter to Liu Cun to ask for the assistance of the Qingzhou army.

Liu Cun replied to Yuan Shao very politely, telling Yuan Shao not to worry, and bluntly said that winter has arrived, and as the heavy snow falls, neither the Black Mountain Yellow Turban nor the Youzhou Army are capable of launching a larger-scale war, but the Yellow Turban Army, which has already captured dozens of cities in Yanzhou Dongping, Lujun, Rencheng, Shanyang and Peiguo, is more threatening.

Fortunately, Cao Cao's troops had increased to 40,000, firmly guarding the counties of Dongjun, and he seized the time to quickly complete the autumn harvest, and the soldiers were no longer trapped by grain and grass.

Yuan Shao received a reply from Liu Cun and Cao Cao, and was deeply dissatisfied, he was embarrassed to blame Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, who was weaker than him and lived next to him, but more than once denounced Liu Cun and Qingzhou civil and military officials for sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight and not saving him.

In fact. The situation is moving in the direction that Liu Cun and Cao Cao feared most.

At the beginning of December, more than 80,000 members of the Yellow Turban Army, which occupied most of Yanzhou, quickly moved north. The soldiers divided into two routes and launched a fierce attack on Dongjun, which was rich in food and grass. Attempted to take down the East County and join forces with the victorious division of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro.

Cao Cao was frightened, urgently sent messengers to Yecheng Yuan Shao, Jibei Bao Xin and Qingzhou Liu Cun for help, Yuan Shao, who had 100,000 troops to shrink the defense, had many excuses, and was unmoved, and the neighboring Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin personally led all 20,000 elite foot cavalry, galloping to aid Cao Cao in the starry night, and the Yellow Turban Army of the two roads marched head to head, and the Yellow Turban Army of the proud light enemy was deeply penetrated under heavy casualties. Quickly gather the remnants and flee to Shouzhang.

Liu Cun was very righteous and sent Qin Yi, the lieutenant of Jinan, to lead 5,000 cavalry day and night through the northern country of Jibei to rescue Cao Cao.

After discussing with the strategists Chen Gong and Cheng Yu and others, Cao Cao seized the opportunity and led 30,000 soldiers to pursue it, determined to exterminate the Yellow Turban forces entrenched in Dongping, completely sweep away the threat in the south of Dongping County, and then occupy Dongping County. Lay a solid foundation for the next step to seek the position of Yanzhou assassin.

However, nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban troops have quietly assembled on the Shouzhang line, and the 30,000 soldiers of Cao Cao, who are waiting for Cao Cao, who is lightly armed and rushing forward, have also made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. Sure enough, without realizing it, he crashed headlong into the encirclement set up by the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, and he still couldn't get out of trouble after three days of hard fighting.

At the critical juncture of life and death, Bao Xin led 5,000 cavalry to suddenly kill. Break through the encirclement of the Yellow Turban army in one fell swoop, opening a way for Cao Cao and the surviving remnants of more than 10,000 to escape. The 5,000 cavalry led by Qin Yi then arrived, and the three roads converged and retreated while fighting. Finally escaped from the pursuit of the Yellow Turban army.

Bao Xin, who was in charge of the West Road, was hit by more than ten arrows in his body, and died on the spot, and the body was desperately snatched back by the soldiers under his command, and fled to Dongjun on a bloody road.

Cao Cao, who retreated to the rear, was shocked to hear the bad news that Bao Xin had died in battle, and regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, he immediately turned around and rushed back to the rear team, holding Bao Xin, who was already stiff, and crying loudly.

After this battle, the Dongjun and Jibei armies could not fight again due to heavy losses, Cao Cao repeatedly thanked Qin Yi who led the troops to help, and led the remnants to return to Dongjun to rest, Bao Xin's eldest son Bao Shao saw that the Yellow Turban Army gathered troops to attack Jibei again, and led the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers in horror to avoid Dongjun and defect to Cao Cao.

The 5,000 cavalry led by Qin Yi quickly retreated eastward, returned to Zhu'a unscathed, and immediately gathered troops to deploy on the border line to strictly defend it, and the wealthy Jibei Kingdom fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, and the war that lasted for more than three months suddenly stopped in the heavy snow.

On December 20, Chen Gong, a special envoy sent by Cao Cao, escorted by more than 100 guards, made a detour along the south bank of the Yellow River, avoiding the entanglement of the Yellow Turban scouts, and successfully arrived at Zhu'a, where he was warmly received by Qin Yi, the lieutenant of Jinan.

Along the way, Chen Gong saw a steady stream of displaced people flocking to the border areas of Zhu'a and other areas in Qingzhou, and the local officials and garrisons on the border of Qingzhou were so busy that they did not touch the ground, built a large number of wooden houses to resettle the victims, and hurriedly built soup kitchens to distribute to the victims.

"Because of the continuous influx of a large number of people fleeing the war into Qingzhou, and the huge threat to Qingzhou posed by the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in various parts of Taishan County, Qingzhou is unable to allocate more troops and grain to support Dongjun."

Chen Gong rested for a day in the overcrowded Zhu'a, and was about to leave for Linzi to ask to see Qingzhou Mu Liu Cun, who had already led the tribute back a few days after Jinan Xiangguan Ning, Qingzhou Army Deputy Marshal Tai Shici, and military commander Zhao Rong and other civil and military officials arrived in Zhu'a, hurriedly met with Chen Gong, and then carried out an inspection of the resettlement site for the victims.

It was already nightfall when Liu Cun returned to the military camp in Zhu'a City, so he didn't care about resting, and immediately set up a banquet to entertain Chen Gong, and informed Chen Gong of the situation of more and more disaster victims pouring into Qingzhou:

"As of this afternoon, 110,000 victims have entered Zhu'a, I have urgently ordered Linzi to quickly raise grain to ship, according to the current consumption, the counties of Jinan can only last for half a month at most, but there will definitely be more influx of victims in the future, and people can only be sent to Xuzhou and Jiangdong to buy food!"

Chen Gong was very moved by Liu Cun's insistence on helping the victims of the disaster for several years, and once again expressed his admiration for Liu Cun, and then asked Liu Cun:

"If there is chaos today, and the Yellow Turban thieves in the north and south of the river are getting more and more powerful, so that Lord Jun can have a way to deal with it?"

Liu Cun shook his head slightly, and said bitterly: "I'm not afraid that Mr. Gongtai will laugh when I say it, at least for two years, Qingzhou can only protect itself and can't afford to take care of it!" ”

"It's not that I, Qingzhou, don't save myself when I see death, but because the situation is forcing me...... Mr. knows that after the fall of Taishan County, the counties west of Chengyang County in Qingzhou, the Langya Kingdom in the south, Zhu'a in the north, Licheng and even the counties south of Linzi are all under the front of the Yellow Turban thieves of Taishan. ”

Chen Gong nodded frequently with deep feelings, thinking deeply.
