Dong Zhuo was in action, and Yuan Shao was not idle. On the one hand, he instigated the Lu uprising to raise troops against Han Fu and marched into Jizhou Prefecture to govern Gaoyi, and on the other hand, he personally led the main force of 15,000 people to set out from Chaoge in Hanoi and advance to the hinterland of Jizhou.

Poor Han Fu had to deal with Gongsun Zan in the north at this time, and on the other hand, he had to defend against the Lu Yi army that launched a rebellion in the hinterland, and he also had to worry about Yuan Shaojun, who was under the banner of returning to Bohai County, but his intentions were unknown. The military pressure on these aspects was launched at the same time, and it was almost impossible to drive Han Fu, who was born as a civilian official and did not understand military affairs, to drive him crazy!

As a result, the time has come for Yuan Shao to play a role in the senior cadres, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others sent to Jizhou before. These are all well-known scholars in the world, and they are all eloquent. Under their persuasion or threats, Han Fu, who felt that he was no longer able to return to the sky, finally decided to hand over his Jizhou pastoral authority and give Jizhou to Yuan Shao in order to seek the stability of his own life.

At that time, Han Fu's subordinates persuaded Han Fu not to be so submissive. It's just that in the face of the joint siege of Gongsun Chan in the north and Yuan Shao and Lu Yi in the east, no subordinate can come up with an effective way to deal with it.

And when Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, who were cronies of the front line, sent a secret report, saying that Sima Zhangja, Gao Lan, Zhu Ling and others in the army joined forces to announce their rejection of Gaoyi's commander and wait for the will of the imperial court, Han Fu knew that he had no choice at all.

The behavior of Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Zhu Ling and others, of course, is for a reason.

These generals who led the troops were all generals of the state division who were born in Jizhou. In their hearts, they were not satisfied with Han Fu's rule in Jizhou. As for the reason, everyone thinks that Han Fu is too incompetent militarily. With Han Fu's little military ability, he can't protect the safety of Jizhou Haoqiang at all.

If there is no other choice, face the edict of the imperial court. Jizhou Qunhao has no choice but to endure it. But a Yuan Shaolai suddenly appeared in front of him, which immediately made Jizhou Qunhao excited.

Yuan Shao's fame moved the world, and he was wise and martial, daring to directly confront Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou army in Hanoi, and successfully forced the Liangzhou army back. A county in Hanoi was preserved. Such an achievement made Jizhou up and down not object to Yuan Shao's arrival. Especially when Gongsun Zhan was gaining momentum and coercing Hebei, the discerning people in Jizhou knew that Han Fu's rule was actually in jeopardy.

So, after Han Fu, who will lead the fertile soil of Jizhou?

This is a problem. But the answer to this question is not difficult.

If you let everyone make a choice between the martial artist Gongsun Zan and the leader of the famous party Yuan Shao. Ninety percent of Jizhou heroes and scholars will be willing to choose Yuan Shao. Gongsun Chan was known for his bravery, but he had few achievements in governance. Where can it be compared to Yuan Benchu's all-round talent in civil and military affairs, governing the army on horseback, and managing the people on horseback?

Yuan Shao entered Jizhou and immediately asked Gongsun Zan to stop his strategy against Jizhou.

Gongsun Zhan, as the "concubine" of a powerful family, has a slight resemblance to Yuan Shao's identity. He later joined the army and started his career with military exploits. He also has some common language with Dong Zhuo. Therefore, for the battle between Dong Zhuo and the anti-Dong alliance. Gongsun Chan was only inclined to oppose the Dong Alliance on the surface, but he never caused any trouble to Dong Zhuo in substance.

But now, Dong Zhuo gave Gongsun Chan the title of occupying Jizhou, but Yuan Shao successfully picked peaches and grabbed most of Jizhou when Gongsun Chan made a move. This kind of contradiction based on land grabbing. Let Gongsun Chan understand that between himself and Yuan Shao, I am afraid that there will be a battle.

Although it was decided to start a war against Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan did not dare to make a move immediately. Everything must have a name, and only by doing it can you get twice the result with half the effort. Gongsun Chan is not a bandit either. If there is no suitable reason to start a war against Yuan Shao, I am afraid that the princes of the world will have a bad feeling for him.

Not to mention other people's reactions, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu only needs one sentence to cut off the supply of Gongsun Zhan's department, so that Gongsun Zhan's entire army can be separated from Germany.

Also, Gongsun Zhan defeated more than 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves, and it seemed that the results were brilliant, but in fact, after this battle, he was also broken. Whether it is to replenish the dead and wounded soldiers, or to digest and absorb the captured Yellow Turban thieves, it will take a certain amount of time. Without months of rest and recuperation, Gongsun Zhan, whose strength has not recovered, is actually difficult to pose much threat to the prepared Jizhou defenders.

Therefore, before officially starting the war with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan sent envoys on the one hand, pretending to want to get some benefits from Jizhou, so he collected his troops and returned to Youzhou; On the other hand, he sent his younger brother Sun Yue to lead a thousand cavalry to support Yuan Shu, so as to take advantage of the discord between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao and get an excuse to attack Yuan Shao.

The war in Jizhou stopped slightly, and Gongsun Yue, who came to Yuan Shu's place, was immediately involved in a battle that had nothing to do with him.

Gongsun Yue's southward journey, in addition to the cavalry from Gongsun Zhan, there was also a cavalry sent by Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. The purpose of the cavalry sent by Liu Yu to the south was not to participate in the war with Dong Zhuo in the south, but to find a way to bring Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, who stayed in Yuan Shu's territory, back to Youzhou safely.

Liu He has a high-ranking and powerful father like Liu Yu, and his career has always been smooth. Before the Luoyang Rebellion, he had served in the imperial court. Since Dong Zhuo decided to abandon Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an, Liu He, as a relative of the Han family, has had a huge resentment towards Dong Zhuo's behavior.

Therefore, Liu He took advantage of Dong Zhuo's departure from Chang'an and went to Henan to supervise the war, escaped from Chang'an with the help of his friends, wanted to return to Youzhou, and persuaded his father Liu Yu to raise troops to welcome the Son of Heaven, so as to calm the war that spread to the whole country and let Liu's country settle down again.

In the midst of the chaos, Liu He took a lot of risks and finally escaped from Dong Zhuo's control area and met his old friend Yuan Shu. However, Yuan Shu is clearly not a fuel-efficient lamp either. Knowing that Liu He wanted Liu Yu to send troops to rescue the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shu simply told Liu He that he didn't have to go all the way to Youzhou again. As long as Liu He wrote a letter and asked Liu Yu to send troops to Yuan Shu, he could attack Dong Zhuo with Yuan Shu's army.

Liu He looked around the world and found that Sun Jian, who was under Yuan Shu at this time, showed the ability to defeat Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao, Liu Dai and others had superior forces, but they were suppressed by a Hua Xiong and a Xu Rong. So, he happily wrote a letter to his father Liu Yu, asking him to send troops south to Yuan Shu's side.

Liu Yu's purpose at this time was not to mix with the brawl between Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family. Seeing that his son wanted to be cannon fodder for the Yuan family so ignorantly, he was naturally extremely angry. However, Liu He was Liu Yu's son after all, and for the sake of this most promising son, Liu Yu had to send a thousand-man cavalry south. Of course, the cavalry generals who led their troops south received only one order, that is, no matter what they did, just bring Liu He back to Youzhou.

Liu Yu said the same thing, but when these soldiers came into Yuan Shu's hands, they couldn't help what they thought. The Youzhou cavalry sent by Liu Yu and the 1,000 elite cavalry commanded by Gongsun Yue totaled 2,000 cavalry. As soon as these two thousand people arrived in Yuzhou, they encountered the battle between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and then they involuntarily got involved.

It turned out that since Sun Jian defeated Hu Zhenjun, forced Dong Zhuo back, and recovered the imperial capital Luoyang, he focused on cleaning up the mess of Luoyang, especially rectifying the imperial tombs of the emperors of the Han Dynasty who were publicly excavated by Dong Zhuojun. And Yuan Shu used this merit as a reason to appoint Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou, which was also recognized by the officials of Yuzhou.

With the title of Yuzhou Assassin History, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian naturally planned to use Yuzhou as a bridgehead, force Si Li first, and then plot against Yanzhou to seek great things.

Yuzhou is the heart of the Han Dynasty, and Runan is a large county in Yuzhou. The original assassin in Yuzhou, Kong Ling, died of illness not long ago, and he vacated such a key official position, so that Sun Jian was lucky to grab it. The occupation of Yuzhou meant that Yuan Shu's power would be further expanded. Moreover, getting the Yuan clan's base of Runan also means that Yuan Shu has truly become the number one representative of the Yuan clan, which will make the Yuan clansmen and former officials invest in Yuan Shu's camp in large numbers, so as to suppress Yuan Shao in the north.

Since Yuzhou is so important, how can Yuan Shao let it go easily?

So, when Yuan Shao was busy receiving the service of the powerful officials of Jizhou in Hebei, he did not forget to send people out to fight for Yuzhou. Of course, directly intervening in the affairs of Yuzhou thousands of miles away, Yuan Shao does not have the strength. However, appointing a new Yuzhou assassin who is inclined to his side, Yuan Shao can still do it.

The new Yuzhou assassin appointed by Yuan Shao is the former official of the Yuan family, and the famous man Zhou Ang.

Zhou Ang is a member of Yangzhou Huiji, a family of three brothers, Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang, and Zhou Qiao are all famous in the county. Due to the support of the Yuan family, the three brothers successively served as state and county officials at the level of 2,000 stones. Today's Danyang Taishou is Zhou Xin.

Among the former officials of the Yuan family, the three Zhou brothers belong to the faction that tends to Yuan Shao, but they also have some friendship with Yuan Shu. It's just that these friendships naturally broke down completely when Zhou Ang served as the assassin of Yuzhou.

Zhou Ang is famous, but his ability to command troops is average. Yuan Shao appointed him as the assassin of Yuzhou, of course, he was not asked to send his head. Although he couldn't draw out his henchmen to help Zhou Ang, the people sent by Yuan Shao were still quite weighty. Because, this person is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was one of Yuan Shao's most useful generals, and he had always taken on the task of being in charge. In order to guard against the Bingzhou army in the west, Cao Cao did not enter Jizhou with Yuan Shao, but remained in Hanoi. When Jizhou fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, Bingzhou's arrogance still did not make any move. At this time, Cao Cao was once again transferred south to Yuzhou by Yuan Shao's military order.

There is no friendship between Cao Cao and Zhou Ang. However, he has some relationship with Zhou Ang's brother Zhou Xin.

A year ago, after Cao Cao was defeated in Xingyang, he went to Danyang to recruit troops, and he was assisted by Zhou Xin. Therefore, when facing Zhou Xin's younger brother, Cao Cao had to come up with his full copy of his affairs to help Zhou Ang control Yuzhou in order to repay Zhou Xin's favor. (To be continued......)
