In 190 AD, the first year of the early Han Dynasty, after Sun Jian in early April, the first to start the chaos was Yanzhou, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai is an ambitious person, although Yanzhou is nominally Liu Dai's territory, but in fact there are many princes, Liu Dai can control only Jiyin, Rencheng, Dongping, Lujun four places, Liu Dai has the support of his friend Cao Ying, how can he tolerate Yanzhou to continue like this?

Liu Dai's first target was the white horse Houqiao Mao in Dongjun, although the bridge was famous, but he had no ability, and the soldiers and horses under his command were only 20,000. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Liu Dai led the army back to Jiyin, and after hearing the news of Sun Jian's action against Zhang Yang, how could he still hold on? Of course, the princes must have a name for crusading against each other, after all, Liu Dai is a relative of the Han family, representing the Han family, if he starts a war lightly, it is easy to be criticized by other princes.

So Liu Dai came up with a good way, that is, to borrow grain from Qiaomao, well, there must be a good excuse to borrow grain, right? Very simply, during this time, a lot of homeless people poured into Jiyin, Liu Dai couldn't bear to look hungry and cold, and the surplus food in the treasury was insufficient, so he could only extend a hand to Qiaomao for help

When Liu Dai's document of borrowing grain was passed to Qiao Mao, Qiao Mao was suddenly angry, what is Liu Dai, Qiao Mao still doesn't know? Not to mention the homeless, even if all the local people in Jiyin starved to death, I don't see Liu Dai going to give some rice porridge, this kind of person will not bear the homeless people starving and cold? scold

Qiao Mao refused to borrow grain, and resolutely rejected Liu Dai's request, and insulted Liu Dai in extreme terms, making the matter clear, saying that Liu Dai's drunkard did not mean to drink, and he said that he borrowed grain, but in fact he wanted to embezzle Dongjun.

Liu Dai was angry, as a member of the Han family, when did Liu Dai suffer such a big insult? What is a bridge? It's just Hanchen, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at Liu Dai, even if Liu Dai wants Dongjun? Don't forget, Liu Dai is now Yanzhou Mu!

Liu Dai, who was furious, raised 30,000 troops in Jiyin, and pointed directly at Dongjun, vowing to kill Qiaomao's children, and righteously recovering the power of Dongjun.

The strange thing is that no one stopped Liu Dai's movements, Zang Hong, the general of Zhengdong, did not speak, Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes' alliance, did not speak, Cao Ying did not speak, and the three most influential people did not speak, Liu Dai naturally did not have the slightest scruples.

Qiao Mao is not a vegetarian, after all, Qiao Mao's clan is also very prominent in the Central Plains, how can Liu Dai be so bullied? Don't forget, Qiao Xuan, the patriarch of Qiao Mao, was a captain of the dynasty, Qiao Xuan monitored the military power of the world, can he not be proficient in the art of war? As a son of the Qiao Xuan clan, even if he can't get all the skills of Qiao Xuan, he will always have one or two percent, right?

After Qiao Mao's meticulous work learned the news that Liu Dai had sent troops, Qiao Mao immediately took command of the 20,000 troops in Dongjun County, and sent troops to Jiyin Lihu County, wanting to fight Liu Dai to the death in Jiyin County, so that Liu Dai could sober up, the Qiao clan is not easy to bully!

But it's a pity that although Qiao Mao is the Taishou of Dongjun, he has controlled the military and political power of Dongjun for several years, but he is not very proficient in the training of his soldiers and horses.

Qiao Mao is tired, Liu Dai's local combat department is not tired, after the news that Qiao Mao is stationed in situ twenty miles away from the north of the fox is heard, Liu Dai's brain turned quickly, and he immediately thought of the night attack on Qiao Mao, and thought of it, so let's do it.

Liu Dai, who was personally in charge, secretly entered the range of Lihu County, and launched a fierce attack on Qiaomao's 20,000 Dongjun soldiers and horses without the slightest defense.

The military camp in the middle of the night is like a hell of cultivation, full of stumps and broken arms, and the soldiers and horses of Dongjun who are retreating are not Liu Dai's opponents at all, and in desperation, they can only protect Qiao Mao and retreat, and the number of troops is getting smaller and smaller, and in just a few hours, two-thirds of the soldiers and horses have been broken.

How could Liu Dai, who had obtained such a result, not take advantage of the victory to pursue? Although it is said that the art of war is not pursued by the poor and the poor, the problem is that Qiaomao's troops are not even poor, they can only be regarded as remnants of the defeated army, a group of rabble!

Liu Dai, who was full of confidence, divided his 30,000 soldiers and horses into three parts as soon as possible, one to collect the defeated army in Dongjun, if he did not surrender, he would not be killed, and one Rao Lu rushed to Qiaomao to intercept Qiaomao, while Liu Dai personally commanded all the way and directly pursued Qiaomao's escape route.

The Third Route Army spread quickly from Jiyin to Dongjun like wildfire, and Qiao Mao, who fled with the defeated soldiers, was also disheartened, and in the case of Liu Dai's pressing step by step, he had no choice but to draw his sword and kill himself, so that his subordinates surrendered to Liu Dai and found a way to live.

Among the eighteen princes who died in Qiaomao, the first prince to die died very miserably, and the body could not be found, and Liu Dai, who was the pastor of Yanzhou, also accepted the entire territory of Dongjun and annexed Liu Dai of Dongjun, and the soldiers and horses under his command suddenly reached 60,000, and in the Yanzhou area, Liu Dai's power suddenly became the strongest.

Seeing that Liu Dai got a lot of money, how could the other princes still be able to live in peace? Following Liu Dai, Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes' alliance, has made a move, well, Yuan Shao is an extremely hypocritical person, the degree of hypocrisy is no less than Liu Bei, in Yuan Shao's view, if you want to occupy the territory, you don't have to use troops and knives, how discordant this is.

Yuan Shao's first target is Yuan Yi, Yuan Yi is Shanyang Taishou, Shanyang County is on the edge of Mount Tai, blocking the traffic arteries between Mount Tai and Jiyin, it stands to reason that Yuan Shao should not put the spearhead on Yuan Yi, after all, Yuan Yu is Yuan Shao's brother, and he embezzles his brother's foundation as a younger brother, how can it be said.

However, Yuan Shao did not use force against Yuan Yi, but sent people to persuade Yuan Yi, hoping that Yuan Yi could agree to merge the two families together to avoid being embezzled by other princes, the excuse was very good, the object was also very good, and most importantly, the talent sent by Yuan Shao to persuade was also perfect.

Persuading Yuan Yu was Yuan Shao's henchman Wu Zhuo, Wu Table, who was a great talent in Luoyang Taixue back then, full of economic Lun and even Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others in Northern Xinjiang, and was rated as famous as Xun and Guo by the world in the early years, which can be described as prestigious.

Wu Zhuo did not live up to Yuan Shao's expectations, after entering Shanyang County, the first thing Wu Zhuo went to see was not Yuan Yi, but in the name of Yuan Shao, he purchased a generous gift and gave it to Yuan Shao's wife and concubine, and also slightly revealed a little Yuan Shao's meaning.

Yuan Yi is good at everything, but he is too humble and gentlemanly, and he respects the female dependents of the family very much, generally the meaning of these female dependents, Yuan Yi will carefully consider it, and after finishing the official business, Yuan Yi returned to the mansion, and learned the news that Wu Zhuo came on behalf of Yuan Shao from the female dependents.

After learning that Yuan Shao asked his henchmen to give gifts, Yuan Yi felt comforted for the first time, after all, Yuan Shao is Yuan Yi's younger brother, a relative who has played since childhood, and is very clear about Yuan Shao's ability and ability, and now Yuan Shao is in a high position, and he still does not forget Yuan Yu's brother, how can Yuan Yu not like it?

But when the female dependents revealed a little bit of Yuan Shao's meaning, Yuan Yu suddenly became a little unhappy, it turned out that Yuan Shao's hand was a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, uneasy and kind!!

But then Yuan Yi thought about it carefully, and it was true that Shanyang County took over Linjiyin and Rencheng, and even surrounded Rencheng in it, Liu Dai killed all the irrelevant Qiaomao, how could he let it go? In Yuan Yi's opinion, Liu Dai will sooner or later stretch out his hands and feet to Shanyang County, in this case, why not do it as a favor and give Shanyang County to Yuan Shao?

Anyway, Yuan Shao is Yuan Yi's younger brother, his own family, if Yuan Shao becomes the head of the family, Yuan Shao's things are not Yuan Shao's final say? Yuan Yi, who figured it out, was also quite simple, and invited Wu Zhuo to enter the mansion as soon as possible, under the offensive of Wu Zhuo's exquisite words, Yuan Yi agreed to Yuan Shao's request, and handed over the Taishou Great Seal to Wu Zhuo on the spot, announcing that Shanyang would become Yuan Shao's governing place from now on.

Yuan Shaoxi, after Yuan Shao got Liu Dai to occupy Dongjun, he was still very envious, although he muttered dissatisfaction on his face, and even revealed in private that he wanted to sanction Liu Dai, but when it was Yuan Shao's turn, Yuan Shao's face suddenly changed.

The whole territory of Shanyang fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and at the same time Liu Dai's Rencheng County was completely surrounded by Yuan Shao's forces, after getting Shanyang County, Yuan Shao continued to focus on Rencheng County, although Rencheng is not big, but it is a good place, the terrain is high and the water is not troubled, the grain in the field is very high, and it is the key place of Jizhou in all directions.

Of course, Liu Dai understands Rencheng's situation very well, and Yuan Shao's intention to Rencheng County is also obvious, but the problem is that Liu Dai doesn't want to give up Rencheng County, at this time, Liu Dai has just taken over Dongjun, and his power has expanded on a large scale, and he suddenly took the initiative to give up a county, Liu Dai is unwilling.

But if Liu Dai didn't agree to hand over Rencheng County to Yuan Shao, once Yuan Shao ordered to block Rencheng's external passage, then Rencheng would still fall into Yuan Shao's hands!

Liu Dai is not afraid of Yuan Shao, although it is said that after Yuan Shao annexed Shanyang County, there were as many as 80,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but if Yuan Shao took the city and county, it would be unjustifiable, and Liu Dai occupied the commanding heights of morality, so although Liu Dai was entangled, he did not say anything.

And Yuan Shao set his eyes on Rencheng County at the same time, but also secretly looked at the Lu County in the south and the northeast country in the north, both of which are adjacent to Yuan Shao's territory, and are also Liu Dai's territory, at this time the situation of Yuan Shao and Liu Dai is very wonderful, the territory between the two sides is completely mixed together, you have me, I have you, if there is no good way to deal with it, sooner or later there will be a big war.

Yuan Shao calmed down for the time being, but it was not the princes of the Central Plains who continued to act after Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shu who was located in Nanyang! Yuan Shu is a very ambitious person, and most people know it very well, and ambitious people will naturally not allow a behemoth to appear behind him.

At this time, the situation in Jingzhou is very wonderful, the most powerful is Sun Jian, Sun Jian occupies Nanjun and Jingnan four counties, and the second is Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu occupies Nanyang County, and finally Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang has only one Jiangxia County, in addition to these big princes, there is also a county that no one occupies, that is, Weixing County, the rear of the Yellow Turban in Jingzhou.

Wei Xingjun and Sanfu are coming, due to the rampant yellow scarf, the loss of people is serious, although it has recovered a little in recent years, but the situation is not good, but the problem is that now is the time for the world to compete for hegemony, and it is an idiot not to occupy the land.

Nanyang and Wei Xing approached, Wei Xing only had a few thousand old and weak county soldiers at this time, it was impossible to be Yuan Shu's opponent, in order to expand his own power, Yuan Shao appointed Ji Ling as a general, commanding 10,000 soldiers and horses to capture Wei Xing County.

However, sometimes, there will be a lot of changes in things, such as Weixing County, although it is said that Weixing County has a vacuum of power for a lot of time, but not long ago, Weixing County ushered in a new owner!

Who is this person? Naturally, it was the Marquis of Xiangyang who was crowned by Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Biao Jingsheng, a native of Shanyang, Yanzhou, when he was young, he was rated as one of the eight horses by the world, and he was very famous.

Originally, Liu Biao, who was the Marquis of Xiangyang and the pastor of Jingzhou, should go to Xiangyang to take office, but the problem is that now that the Xiangyang Incident has occurred, Nanyang has been annexed by Sun Jian, Sun Jian is a fierce tiger, how dare Liu Biao easily go to ask for the power of Nanyang, isn't this a blind man lighting a lamp to find death?

In desperation, Liu Biao could only temporarily accept Weixing County, after all, Weixing County is also a county, and it is also a good choice to make a place to live first, but the damn Yuan Shu actually hit Weixing County with his idea, how could Liu Biao, who had just gotten a place to stay, not be angry?

Of course, even if you are angry, it is useless, in front of the 10,000 elite Nanyang army, Liu Biao's thousands of old and weak soldiers are of no use at all, and Liu Biao, who has no choice but to ask for help from his friends Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and others who were in Jingzhou in the past.

Cai and Kuai are the Jingxiang clan, very powerful, there are as many as tens of thousands of private soldiers in the clan, in order to envelop the two, Liu Biao revealed in the letter that if Yuan Shu or Sun Jian really dominates Jingzhou, it will cause great harm to the families of the two, and Liu Biao occupies Jingzhou, and is willing to rule Jingzhou with the two!

The most important thing is that Liu Biao's occupation of Jingzhou is justified, this year, everything is justified, although the majesty of the Han family is lost, but no matter what, the Han family is still the Han family, the prestige is still there, and now Liu Tai in the north of Xinjiang is the prince of the Han family, with Liu Tai's support, at least no one dares to resist the holy decree of Emperor Han Xian.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao did not live up to Liu Biao's expectations, although Liu Biao is now showing weakness, but these big families originally needed some weak puppets to control, such as Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and others, can these family gate valves in Jingzhou be controlled?

In fact, Cai Mao also beat Sun Jian's idea, when Sun Jian opened the celebration banquet in Nanyang, Cai Mao was also invited by Sun Jian, in the banquet, Cai Mao revealed an obvious meaning, that is, I hope that Sun Jian can marry Cai Mao's sister Cai as his wife, so that he can better control the governance of Jingzhou!

Who is Sun Jian? Koto Tigers! Don't say what kind of big family Cai Mao is, even if Cai Mao is the pastor of Jingzhou, Sun Jian may not be in his eyes, and the most important thing is that Cai Mao actually dares to ask his sister to be Sun Jian's main house? How can it be!!!

Angry, Sun Jian was angry, and scolded Cai Mao on the spot, and Cai Mao couldn't stay anymore under the gaze of the Jingzhou gate lords, so he fled the banquet on the spot, and became the laughing stock of Jingzhou for a while.

Sun Jian's ignorance, resulting in the collapse of the joint collapse of the top gate valve in Jingzhou is Sun Jianjun, at this time the representative of the Jingzhou gate valve Cai, Diao, and Kuai are all hesitant, originally there are five top families in Jingzhou, but Pang and Huang were poached by Liu Tai, although the foundation of Jingzhou is there, but the main members are in northern Xinjiang, there is no need to mention it for the time being.

Liu Biao is the best choice for the three major families, today's Liu Biao wants to have no soldiers, no power, no one to have people, belongs to the three no-personnel, but he has the title of Xiangyang Marquis and Jingzhou Mu on his head, such a good puppet, how can the three major families let it go easily?

At the first time, the three major families of Cai, Kuai, and Diao responded to Liu Biao, and even sent their generals to command the soldiers and horses directly to Weixing to welcome Liu Biao into Xiangyang City, although Xiangyang City is now Sun Jian's territory, but the problem is that Sun Jian's place of governance is not in Xiangyang but in Changsha.

Of course, the news of the three major families sending troops, Sun Jian, who was in Changsha, also got it, Sun Jian had long wanted to move to the office, but there was a problem trapped in front of Sun Jian, Nanjun is a large part, not only the prosperous Xiangyang City but also the rich Jiangling City, between Xiangyang and Jiangling, Sun Jian was difficult to choose, but the arrival of Liu Biao gave Sun Jian a choice.

The holy decree of the imperial court, Sun Jian did not dare to openly disobey, but it does not mean that all the territory should be handed over, overhead, yes, it is overhead, let Liu Biao, who is the pastor of Jingzhou, govern a Xiangyang City, it is almost the same, and in other places, Liu Biao wants to get involved? No way!!

After the three major families were dispatched, Sun Jian chose to move the governance office to Jiangling City, Jiangling is the military and political center of Jingzhou, connecting Jiangdong in the east and Shuzhong in the west, which is an important commercial place, and has always been the first choice for Jingzhou's governance.

Wei Xing was taken away by Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao also entered Xiangyang, and announced to the public that Xiangyang had officially become the Jingzhou Governor's Office, and officials from all parties must report the local government affairs to the Governing Office within the specified time!

Fart, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Wang Kuang, who occupied all parts of Jingzhou, didn't take Liu Biao's words in their eyes at all, just Liu Biao, and he still wanted to control Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, who were in the same position as the third duke? Well, Liu Biao is qualified to control Wang Kuang, but the question is, does Liu Biao have this ability?

In a specific period of time, as expected, there were no officials under Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, and Wang Kuang in Xiangyang City, and even the basic taxes or anything else did not give Liu Biao any explanation.

It's a pity that even if Liu Biao is angry, what if he is angry? Yuan Shu and the three of them are all great princes, even the weakest Wang Kuang has twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, can Liu Biao deal with it?
