Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, in a very short period of time to get the support of the majority of the scholars, Cao Cao's meritocracy, not only to ensure the interests of the scholars, but also to give them more benefits, and the original Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai people lost their hearts, and the scholars who were still waiting and watching fell to Cao Cao.

Liu Dai, who was alone, saw that the general trend had gone, and desperately led his troops and horses to fight with Cao Cao in the wilderness of the southern suburbs of Juancheng, and in less than half a day, Cao's army broke through the flanks from both sides, Xiahoudun and others rushed all the way to kill, and Liu Dai's army was defeated.

Seeing that Cao Cao took almost the entire territory of Yanzhou so easily, many princes felt sour, but they did not dare to lead the army to conquer Cao Cao.

Although the princes strongly supported Liu Dai of Yanzhou, it was only when Liu Dai sent an envoy to ask for the assistance of other princes to lead the troops, the original support suddenly disappeared, and these princes only wanted to protect themselves, where could they take care of Liu Dai, who was about to be driven out of Yanzhou.

What's more, Liu Dai killed the Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, who was also a crusade against Dong Zhuo, and he had lost the heart of the world, although some surrounding princes privately provided some weapons, grain and grass, but asked Liu Dai to buy them at a very high price, in fact, these princes did not want to have anything to do with repeated people like Liu Dai.

It stands to reason that Liu Dai, who has lost the support of the people and lacks the support of the Yanzhou scholars, can only have a glimmer of life if he is far away, but Liu Dai, who is the state pastor, is willing to be willing, and he is angry in front of the tent and beheaded several generals who advised him to retreat, and the whole army tried to stand again.

At this time, Liu Dai had become a crazy gambler, desperately trying to scatter all his wealth, and even did not hesitate to send troops to loot and slaughter the scholars and people, loot gold, silver and jewelry, and send them to the princes who promised to join him in the alliance to fight Cao Cao, hoping for illusory and unrealistic hopes.

Don't you know that these princes agreed on the surface, unceremoniously accepted the gold and silver treasures sent by Liu Dai, and secretly beheaded the envoy sent by Liu Dai, and sent their heads to Cao Cao, the real lord of Yanzhou at this time, to show their friendship.

The two armies of Cao and Liu fought again in the wilderness, Liu Dai personally supervised the battle in the rear, and slaughtered the sergeants who dared to retreat slightly with the guards, but the Cao army was more powerful, and Liu Dai's army had no intention of fighting, and the battle lasted only a few hours and suddenly retreated.

Liu Dai led the guards to kill the red eye, his subordinates were angry and violent, led the army to cut Liu Dai and his guards into meat sauce, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai died, Cao Cao officially entered Yanzhou, Cao Cao made great efforts, and the relationship with the Shi clan is getting better and better, for a time the whole territory of Yanzhou has been attached, and the momentum is huge, so that many princes are in awe.

*****

Gongsun Yi rode his horse firmly in the Chinese army, and Yu Ban led a thousand cavalry to open the way in front, although these cavalry soldiers who had just become cavalry from infantry were not considered to be battleable divisions on horseback, but under the leadership of Yu Ban, they had begun to take shape, at least there would be no tragedy of falling off the horse when charging.

The cavalry of 3,000 cavalry marched all the way east, trying to avoid the main gathering place of the Yellow Turban Army, the cavalry had strong mobility, and Gongsun Yi ordered a light and simple rapid advance, and soon came to the place where Tian Yu had garrisoned earlier, and Chen Bing Weishui was west of Weishui, and Beihai Kingdom looked at each other from afar.

Beihai is Kong Rong's territory, although Kong Rong's soldiers seem to have made big moves, but at this time Gongsun Yi did not want to fall out with Kong Rong, not only because most of Qingzhou was barren and there were many Yellow Turban Army, but Gongsun Yi was more concerned about Kong Rong's influence among the scholars.

Kong Rong, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, has great influence, and his influence in Shiliu is not comparable to Gongsun Yi, who has done a few poems and songs, and was named a first-class virtuous person by Emperor Ling of Han.

Although he is now only serving as the minister of the North Sea, which is equivalent to the position of Taishou, even if he does not get the title of Qingzhou Mu, he controls all the places of Qingzhou except for the territory occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and it is understandable that Qingzhou is Kong Rong's territory.

Kong Rong became famous as a young man, brilliant in literature, and had many achievements in literature, and the governance side was barely orderly, but as the actual controller of Qingzhou, although he admired the heroes, he could not appoint and make good use of them, and he tried to ignore the Yellow Turban Army, which made the Yellow Turban Army more and more arrogant, and did not take the officials and soldiers in his eyes at all.

Qingzhou is so turbulent, and the Yellow Turban Army is so rampant, it is not all Kong Rong's fault, Kong Rong's ability to lead a county is still reluctant, let alone the land of a state, it is not easy to maintain the stability of the current Beihai Kingdom.

In fact, when Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang and abolished the establishment in vain, Kong Rong also refuted it, at that time, Dong Zhuo had just entered Luoyang, and he followed Li Ru's advice to respect the people and win the hearts of the people, especially a great talent like Kong Rong did not dare to offend.

It's just that Kong Rong reprimanded Dong Zhuo again and again, and Dong Zhuo was angry, and sent a holy decree to order Kong Rong to go to Qingzhou, the most turbulent land at that time, to serve as the minister of Beihai, and take over the hands of the Yellow Turban Army to kill Kong Rong.

It's just that I didn't expect Kong Rong to get strong support from the scholars in Beihai Kingdom, and the surrounding people were unbearable to the Yellow Turban Army, so they took refuge in Kong Rong.

Most of Qingzhou was occupied by the Qingzhou army, and the remaining scholars were mostly attached to Kong Rong, which was also Kong Rong's words, which made the Xiao cavalry army fall into a situation of running out of food.

Gongsun Yi is familiar with Kong Rong, who is rarely talented and learned, uninhibited, arrogant, upright, neither respectful to Yuan Shao, nor unwilling to rely on Cao Cao, can be described as a loyal man loyal to the imperial court.

No one is perfect, Kong Rong's shortcomings are obvious and fatal, because the talent is rough, the mind is empty, the ambition is ambitious but there is no ability to achieve it, there are many people around him who cannot be appointed to make good use of it, and there is an empty army but never goes out of the city, all of which are mainly to defend the city.

In response to the Qingzhou Army's appeasement policy, which was mainly based on negotiations, the more numerous the enshrinements and the more urgent the invasion, the Yellow Turban Army's concessions to Kong Rong became more and more advanced, and the appetite became bigger and bigger, and in the end, even Kong Rong could not bear it, so he could only give up negotiations.

It's just that every time the Yellow Turban Army besieges the city, Kong Rong will find a way to ask the Yellow Turban Army to withdraw on the condition of money and food, and the generals of the Yellow Turban Army have found the law, and they always have access to gold, silver, jewelry and food for the Beihai Kingdom at just the right time, which invisibly supports and strengthens the Yellow Turban Army.

If the world is peaceful, a scholar like Kong Rong is naturally a literary hero, but in today's troubled times, a talented person like Kong Rong is struggling, if it were not for the recruited soldiers to fight to the death, and the support of a large number of soldiers, I am afraid that Beihai would have been broken by the Yellow Turban Army.

The reason why the Yellow Turban Army came every time they raised troops and withdrew after asking for property and food was that they felt that they did not have enough strength to attack Beihai City, and when Gongsun Yi led the Xiao cavalry army into Qingzhou, the Qingzhou army, which was afraid of the strong force, had to unite.

Under the leadership of Guan Hai, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army was united earlier than in history, and Gongsun Yi didn't know how many men and horses the other side had, whether he would attack Beihai, or fight a decisive battle with the Xiao Cavalry Army first to decide the future belonging of Qingzhou.

The newcomer Gongsun Yi was at a loss, and when the three thousand sergeants were arranged, Gongsun Yi soon saw Tian Yu who came to greet him.

After not seeing him for many days, Tian Yu became more and more emaciated, and his complexion did not look very good, leading an army of 15,000 and arranging the huge responsibility of tens of thousands of people was a very heavy pressure on Tian Yu.

Tian Yu saw that Gongsun Yi had a good appearance and deep eyes, especially the calm temperament, which made people unconsciously feel trusted, especially following the lord's side, this person was by no means an ordinary person, Tian Yu hurriedly saluted.

When Tian Yu looked at Yu Ban, Yu Ban was also looking at Tian Yu, although this person is not tall, I don't know if it is because he has been in the top position for a long time, whether it is his bearing or speech and demeanor, he always makes people unconsciously obey orders, like a sword in the sheath with a sharp and restrained edge, plus he can win the trust of the lord and lead an army to go deep into Qingzhou to gain a firm foothold, this person is by no means simple.

Under the sympathy, Yu Ban also hurriedly hugged his fists and saluted, and Gongsun Yi introduced the two of them just right, and soon spoke more to each other.

In the main tent, Tian Yu personally pointed to the sand table, explaining the current situation of the enemy and the enemy for Gongsun Yi, at a glance, the sand table is extremely fine, many subtle rivers, craggy mountains and rocks, and the terrain of cliffs are marked.

Even the rogue bandits with hundreds of people also appeared on the sand table, Gongsun Yi secretly praised, worthy of Tian Yu, just this rigorous attitude, it is not easy to be defeated, seeing that there are generals like Tian Yu and Yu Ban around him, his confidence in defeating the Yellow Turban Army that is constantly gathering has greatly increased.

"What is the movement of Kong Beihai?" This is the issue that Gongsun Yi is most concerned about at present.

"My lord, Kong Rong led only nearly 10,000 soldiers, most of them were temporarily recruited and strong, but there were not many soldiers who could fight, and now the Yellow Turban Army is constantly gathering, and the strength of Beihai City is simply not enough to fight against the Yellow Turban."

"It's just" Tian Yu glanced at Gongsun Yi and stopped talking a little.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Gongsun Yi said with a chuckle.

"Kong Rong said that Cao Cao forcibly occupied Yanzhou, and Dong Zhuo belonged to the same jackal, and the lord was good with Cao, so Kong Rong had a lot of abusive words, and strictly ordered the Qingzhou scholars and merchants not to trade with our army, and our army's grain and grass were only enough for the whole army for ten days."

Tian Yu said the attitude of Kong Rong according to the truth, for fear that Gongsun Yi would be angry and go down to attack the Beihai Kingdom, seeing that Gongsun Yi didn't care and finally put his mind at ease, when Tian Yu heard that Gongsun Yi led the army and defeated the elite Xiliang army twice in the wilderness, he pinched a cold sweat at the same time, and also admired Gongsun Yi more and more.

And Tian Yu also quickly noticed that Gongsun Yi, who returned this time, had obviously become more mature and wise than before, and the speed of growth was even beyond Tian Yu's imagination.

"What are the movements of the Yellow Turbans?" Gongsun Yi said calmly.

Tian Yu pointed to a red punctuation mark on the sand table and said: "Lord, this is Guan Hai, who is generous and loyal, with nearly 20,000 people under his command, controlling the largest territory and the largest population, which is enough to pose a threat to our army." ”

"Guan Hai!" Gongsun Yi thought to himself in his heart: "Isn't that the first fierce general of the Yellow Turban Army, remember that he is generous and loyal, if he can successfully recruit Guan Hai to surrender, he will be able to take Qingzhou without blood!" ”
