Kong Rong, the minister of the North Sea, accepted Your Heng's opinion and announced that there were people in Pingshou City who were suffering from the plague, and the situation was getting more and more serious.

In just a few days, under the escort of five thousand Beihai elite soldiers of Wu'an State, tens of thousands of people gathered together along the official road to Jiaodong, and the prosperous Pingshou City in the past became an empty city after most of the people left.

In 190 AD, the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, July 18.

Of course, Yuan Shao entered Pingshou City before Chu Feiyan, but at this time Pingshou was a completely empty city, Yuan Shao, who saw such a situation, was almost angry and vomited blood, but what could Yuan Shao do, could it be difficult to snatch back the people taken away by Kong Rong?

Yuan Shao can't do it, and he can't do such a shameless thing! In any case, Yuan Shao, as a disciple of the Yuan family and the leader of the alliance of the princes of the world, seized Pingshou City at this time, not to mention, and then found trouble with Kong Rong, he would definitely be criticized by all the princes.

Of course, Pingshou City is empty, but there are still people in several nearby counties and villages, after all, Kong Rong can't do things absolutely and really make Yuan Shao angry, this consequence is not something that Kong Rong can bear, in order to restore Pingshou City, Yuan Shao sent the alliance leader Zhao, summoned the surrounding people to come to Pingshou City to stay, and promised to give away fields and houses unconditionally!

At this time, Yuan Shao's reputation in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains was still good, and the alliance leader gave an order, and the responders were immediately numerous, but unfortunately, there were not many actual migrants, after all, Chu Feiyan's 100,000 ant thieves had not been solved at this time, how could the people dare to act easily?

However, when the people hesitated for less than the next day, good news came from the north of Pingshou City, Chu Feiyan retreated, retreated without a fight, or was afraid of Yuan Shao's prestige, or did not want to meet Yuan Shao so quickly, anyway, Chu Feiyan retreated.

As soon as Chu Feiyan retreated, the land around Pingshou City suddenly became a fragrant gluttony in the eyes of the people, and in just two or three days, tens of thousands of people dragged their families to Pingshou City, and Yuan Shao did not breach the contract, and sent soldiers to distribute the land to the people in public, and issued a unique title deed in northern Xinjiang.

Such a move immediately won unanimous praise from the people, and some young people even volunteered to enter the army to serve Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also came to be unrestrained, after all, soldiers and horses are the most important thing in troubled times!

Of course, Yuan Shao is not a fool, it is impossible to send these recruits to the field, isn't that a credit to the enemy? After some consultation with the staff group, all these recruits were sent to Mount Tai for training for half a year, and if they could persevere, they were all conscripted into the army.

Pingshou City was completely occupied by Yuan Shao, including Zhuxu, Drama County and other counties around Pingshou all became Yuan Shao's territory, and Yuan Shao in order to facilitate the command of the Qingzhou War Bureau, the governance office was set up in Drama County, the geographical location of Drama County is very important, curbing the road to the north of Beihai Kingdom, not only that, but also very prosperous business, adjacent to Dongguan, Taishan, Qi State, Le'an four counties, can be regarded as the commercial center of Beihai Kingdom.

Yuan Shao's fanfare immediately alarmed most of the surrounding princes, the most dissatisfied of which was Kong Rong, but Kong Rong retreated on his own initiative, lost the governance of the counties in the western part of Beihai, could not stand morality, and was embarrassed to say anything about Yuan Shao publicly.

Kong Rong was embarrassed to condemn Yuan Shao, and the other princes did not have this taboo, among which Xuzhou Mu Taoqian was the most active, claiming that Yuan Shao's move was a public rebellion, and it was not easy to occupy the position of the leader of the alliance again, and asked Yuan Shao to give up the position of the leader of the alliance to Cao Ying, and asked Yuan Shao to return Dongguan and Langxie two counties!

In addition to Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai also appeared in front of the stage, claiming that Yuan Shao's move is indeed unwise, and hopes that Yuan Shao can come forward to explain, if he is not willing to explain, then Liu Dai will consider entering Mount Tai and smashing Yuan Shao's lair!

In 190 AD, the first year of the early Han Dynasty, on July 25, Yuan Shao, who felt that the situation was getting more and more serious, finally came forward to clarify, Yuan Shao wrote in the document that it was helpless for the army to enter Pingshou and other counties, as for the occupation, it was simply nonsense, Yuan Shao would never occupy these counties, and hoped that Kong Rong could come to Juxian to talk about how to return to Juxian and other counties.

"Speechless, seeing Yuan Shao's shameless documents, these princes can only stop and want Kong Rong to go to Drama County? Isn't that nonsense? By Kong Rong? Borrowing his ten guts, Kong Rong didn't dare to go to Yuan Shao's base camp alone, this is a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return.

In order to calm the anger of the princes, Yuan Shao ordered to immediately order 30,000 troops, and went north to fight against the Yellow Turban ant thieves in three ways, and asked the three-way army not to harass the people.

The left route army in the three-way army takes Yuan Shao's general Gao Lan as the general, and the soldiers go out of the drama county to the Changguo area, the middle route army takes the surnamed Zang Ba as the general, and the soldiers go out of the drama county to point to the Qi country, and the right route army takes Chun Yuqiong as the general, and the soldiers go out of the drama county to refer to Le'an County, these three generals can be said to be Yuan Shao's family background, in order to conquer the yellow scarf, it seems that Yuan Shao has done his best, as for Yuan Shao himself, he sits in the drama county to control the overall situation!

Without the slightest suspense, after the three-way army entered Qi State, Chang State and Le'an County, the local Yellow Turban thieves did not have the slightest resistance at all, either they were killed in battle, or they fled, and those who could not escape surrendered on the spot, perhaps because of Yuan Shao's special order, these surrendered Yellow Turban thieves were not killed, but a small number of men and horses were sent from the army to escort Qi to Xi County.

In just over a month, as the army commanded by the three generals swept through the Yellow Turban thieves all over Qingzhou, a large area of territory in Qingzhou was also under the rule of Yuan Shao, and Han Fu, who was a pastor in Qingzhou, did not express his position at all.

Of course, Han Fu's behavior is also understandable, after all, no matter what, Han Fu is also a retainer of the Yuan family, and at this time, Yuan Shu, the descendant of the Yuan family, did not make any big moves in Nanyang, and even looked a little depressed, but Yuan Shao, who was a concubine, shined and swept hundreds of thousands of yellow turban thieves throughout Qingzhou, such a feat, how could Yuan Shu compare with it?

In fact, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan also thought about counterattacking in the Qingzhou battle situation, but the Taishan army was under the command of the three generals, and the combat power of the Taishan army was too strong, and the more careless Chun Yuqiong didn't know why, and did not make a single mistake in the Qingzhou battle situation.

After the battle situation in Qingzhou gradually became clear, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan were ready to withdraw from Qingzhou and enter the Yanzhou area, at this time most of the counties and counties in Qingzhou were already Yuan Shao's territory, Yuan Shao collected hundreds of thousands of prisoners of the Yellow Turban Army, and selected 100,000 young men from them to form Qingzhou soldiers, although these Qingzhou soldiers were still a little short of a head-to-head showdown on the battlefield, but it was no problem to garrison the city, the city defense was strong, and the Yellow Turban thieves had no chance to take advantage of it, and they could not seize food in the hands of the gate lord clan and the people, how could the Yellow Turban thieves survive?

Two months later, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was empty, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan led the people and horses of various departments to enter the Yanzhou area under some special circumstances, in fact, the reason why Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan were able to enter Yanzhou so easily was really thanks to Yuan Shao, at this time the Yanzhou region was full of princes, and Yuan Shao occupied not many states and counties, and after the Yellow Turban thieves entered Yanzhou, they would be able to reshuffle the Yanzhou princes.

After the Yellow Turban Army fled Qingzhou, Han Fu, who was a Qingzhou pastor, finally came forward to invite Yuan Shao to Linzi, the Qingzhou Governor's Office, and revealed the idea of handing over Qingzhou to Yuan Shao.

In order to thank Han Fu for giving up power, Yuan Shao handed over the rich Qi State of Qingzhou to Han Fu to take care of, of course, Han Fu could not be in charge of the army, no matter how generous Yuan Shao was, Qi State was the hinterland of Qingzhou after all, if Han Fu had a thought, wouldn't Yuan Shao be unlucky?

Qingzhou changes hands!

This is a very terrifying thing, Qingzhou fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, which means that Yuan Shao has squeezed into the ranks of super princes! The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command are ready to fight, which will make everyone in the Central Plains princes in danger!

Like a tsunami, the matter of Qingzhou spread all over the Han world, the princes who originally accused Yuan Shao closed their mouths this time, scanned the Central Plains, and none of the princes dared to argue with Yuan Shao, who had an army of nearly 200,000, and after dominating Qingzhou, Yuan Shao also officially embarked on the steps of dominating the world!

Seeing Yuan Shao's brilliant achievements, someone couldn't hold back, who? Cao Apu! As we all know, in history, Cao Ying is the overlord of the Central Plains, and he is also one of the kings who started from the Central Plains to dominate Kyushu.

As if it had been discussed a long time ago, all the staff under Cao Ying's command all agreed that it was the best reality to enter the northwest of Yuzhou at this time, and the northwest of Yuzhou was the territory of Yuzhou Mu Kong Yun, and Kong Yu was weak and weak, and his soldiers and horses were only twenty or thirty thousand, and it was impossible to be Cao Ying's opponent, how could Cao Ying let go?

Very suddenly, Cao Ying announced to the outside world that Yuzhou Mu Kong Yu was incompetent, harming tens of thousands of people in the northwest of Yuzhou, and Cao Ying decided to raise a righteous army to crusade against Kong Yu!

Astound! Another big earthquake! It's chaotic, it's really starting to be chaotic, Yuan Shao dominates Qingzhou, and at least there is a name for the Yellow Turban Army, but Cao Ying sent troops, but he pointed directly at Kong Yu, who is the pastor of a state, what is this? This is a rebellion!! However, the strange thing is that all the princes, including Liu Tai, did not come forward to accuse, Tao Qian, who was the pastor of Xuzhou, and Zhang Chao, the Taishou of Guangling, even allocated tens of thousands of stones of grain to Cao Ying's military camp, it was obvious that Tao Qian and Zhang Chao had stood behind Cao Ying without hesitation!

As a pastor of Yuzhou, Kong Yu got the news of Cao Ying's westward expedition, and immediately became anxious, what should I do if I am in a hurry? Please! But Kong Yu doesn't seem to have any good princes, and the only one is just Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu is a wolf with ambition and has long coveted Yuzhou, how dare Kong Yu ask for help from Yuan Shu?

Stupid, Kong Yu is completely stupid, but even if he is guilty of Alzheimer's, he has to face it, facing Cao Ying's hundreds of thousands of male soldiers! After careful consideration, the helpless Kong Yu could only surrender, and when Cao Ying's soldiers came to the city, he handed over the Yuzhou Mu Dayin in great humiliation!

After Cao Ying took over the big seal, he did not embarrass Kong Yun, but sent someone to escort Kong Yu back to his hometown, and gave a generous gift, apologizing to Kong Yu in private, and Kong Yu seemed to be much more relaxed after resigning from the position of Yuzhou pastor, and did not say much about Cao Ying's "hypocrisy", but left Yuzhou with his family.

In 190 AD, the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, Yuzhou changed hands in October! Another big earthquake, but the scale of this earthquake is much smaller, after all, Yuzhou is just that place, most of the territory has long been Cao Ying's territory, although Cao Ying became the master of Yuzhou, but in fact, the power has not increased much, and it is also necessary to directly face the old king Liu Chong, who is in Chen State and has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is not a good thing.

Just when Cao Ying had a little headache, Cao Ying got the news that King Chen and Liu Pet had left Chen Guo! How can a vassal king leave the land? Could it be that King Chen and Liu Pet declared war on Cao Ying? Cao Ying, who got the news, was suddenly in a hurry, and before he had time to ask in detail, he ordered to convene the generals to discuss the matter.

But then Cao Ying knew that Liu Pet did not declare war on Cao Ying, but went north to Yanzhou, nominally to conquer the Yellow Turban ant thieves who were ravaging Qingzhou, but someone revealed in private that Liu Pet wanted to enter Hebei to join Liu Tai!

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that the Central Plains melee is about to begin, if it is not long at this time, will it be difficult to still be involved in a continuous war? Liu Pet is old, he doesn't want to fight, and he is not in the mood to fight with this group of juniors, so he took the clan to Hebei to make a living, which is Liu Pet's only choice.

No one stopped him, no one said nonsense, and even the leaders of the Yellow Turban Thieves, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan, deliberately got out of the way, although Liu Pet was the great enemy of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and this time he went north in the name of crusading against the Yellow Turban Thieves, but Liu Pet was indeed a respectable person.

When the Yellow Turban Army was completely defeated in Chengdu, Zhu Jun, who was the general of the expedition to the west, insisted on killing the Yellow Turban thieves, but Chen Wang Liu Pet did not agree with it, and even fell out with Zhu Jun many times, almost to the point of meeting each other, and in the end, Zhu Jun could only give in to Liu Pet's identity as a royal family, kill a group of young people of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and let go of those old and weak! Liu Pet is the benefactor of the Yellow Turban Thief! Of course, at the same time, an enemy, a respectable and admirable enemy!

Liu Pet left, with Chen 100,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of people all crossed the Yellow River into the northern Xinjiang, in the case of Liu Tai personally responded, Liu Pet handed over the military power and genealogy in person, became a vassal king of Liu Tai, Liu Tai did not treat Liu Pet badly, in order to thank Liu Pet for his trust, Liu Tai invited Liu Pet to become one of the head of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and also gave Liu Pet a lot of benefits, allowing Liu Pet's heirs to enter the officialdom of Northern Xinjiang, which can be said to have broken many exceptions.

Of course, Liu Pet, who has no military power, is no longer worthy of the attention of the princes of the world, after all, Liu Pet's era has passed, and at this time, the eyes of the princes of the world are all on the Central Plains, not only the princes, but also some of the gate lords are also waiting for the emergence of the overlord of the Central Plains!

It is worth mentioning that at this time, the situation of Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai was very bad, for some reason, Liu Dai's health was getting worse and worse during this period, and sometimes it was even difficult to get out of bed, and the documents of the yellow turban thieves ravaging the counties and counties were piled up in front of Liu Dai's case like a mountain.

Liu Dai was very painful, and wanted to show his strength in the troubled times, but this body inexplicably dragged Liu Dai's hind legs, Liu Dai was very helpless, but what could he do? As the saying goes, success is in the sky, and the sky does not want to see Liu Dai rise, and Liu Dai can only move forward according to the path arranged by God.

People are about to die, there will always be a little feeling, at this time Liu Dai's heirs are young, it is impossible to be on the throne, even if they are on the throne, they can't control the overall situation, the helpless Liu Dai can only think about whether to give up the position of Yanzhou Mu to others, at this time Liu Dai's best candidate should be Zang Hong, Liu Dai and Zang Hong have a personal relationship, and Zang Hong is only a few county towns at this time, if he is on the throne, he will be grateful for Liu Dai's kindness.

But Liu Dai was a little hesitant when making a decision, Zang Hong's surname and ability, Liu Dai is very clear, if he really helps Zang Hong to take the position, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to be Yuan Shao's opponent, and in the Central Plains, the only one who can compete with Yuan Shao is Cao Ying!

But Cao Ying Liu Dai is not at ease, what kind of person is Cao Ying, Liu Dai knows very well, if it is his descendant, he will not covet the position of Yanzhou Mu in the future, but if he covets the position of Yanzhou Mu, he will definitely be gnawed by Cao Ying, and there is not even scum left!

Annoying, very annoying, of course, at this time, Liu Dai's body is not going to be able to do it immediately, and it can still hold on, the most important thing is that Bao Xin, who resisted the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves in Jibei Country, has not been defeated, as long as Bao Xin can still hold on, Yanzhou will not be confused, but if Bao Xin can't hold on, then

Yanzhou is the hinterland of the Central Plains, the real hinterland, all the princes are waiting for the changes in the battle situation in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao, who is in Linzi, also remotely commands Guo Tu, Chen Lin, and others in Taishan County to closely watch Liu Dai and the Yellow Turban Thief's every move, as long as there is a slight situation, the news must be sent to Linzi as soon as possible.

Yuan Shao pays attention to the current situation in Yanzhou, will Cao Ying not pay attention? You must know that Cao Ying has been coveting Yanzhou for a long time, just because the situation in Yanzhou is too complicated, there has been no good opportunity to enter, at this time Cao Ying's henchman Liu Pet has left, and the road to Yanzhou can be described as flat, as long as there is any big shock in Yanzhou, Cao Ying will definitely enter Yanzhou and Yuan Shao for the hegemony of the Central Plains as soon as possible.
