When Liu Bei sent Jian Yong to Nanpi, his idea was to let Jian Yong provoke the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, and it was best to cause a direct war between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu, so as to reduce the negative impact of Zhang Fei rushing into Zhuo County to kill officials and vent his anger.

However, what Liu Bei didn't expect was that Gongsun Zhan had already made a big deal at this time and was commanding the army to fight, so he couldn't care about the little that Zhang Fei had done in Anping!

At the beginning of November of the second year of Chuping, 300,000 people of the resurgence of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army suddenly poured into the territory of the Bohai Sea, preparing to join the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan in Jizhou. Gongsun Zhan, who was about to lead the army south, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly asked people to transfer the soldiers and horses of Tian Kai, who had entered Pingyuan County, back to Bohai County, and then started a fierce battle with the Yellow Turban Rebels in the area of Dongguang.

After several fierce battles, Gongsun Chan broke the yellow scarf and beheaded more than 30,000 people. Seeing that they could not do anything, the Yellow Turban rebels abandoned their grain and grass and wanted to cross the Yellow River south and enter Yanzhou. Gongsun Zhan asked Tian Kai, who turned around and returned north, to set up an ambush on the bank of the Yellow River, and when the Yellow Turban Army crossed halfway, he suddenly killed, and killed and injured tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels, and the blood stained the Yellow River for a while, and the situation was ten times more tragic than when the Xianbei people attacked the Han army's grain team on the bank of the revenge water.

After several battles, Gongsun Chan captured more than 70,000 people in the Yellow Turban, and countless cars and property were counted. Although brilliant results were achieved, Gongsun Zhan's elite troops were also heavily wounded, because he was worried that Yuan Shao would take the opportunity to attack, so Gongsun Chan adopted the advice of his subordinates and decided to temporarily stop the pace of entering Qingzhou, and wait until the troops were replenished from Youzhou, and then attack Qingzhou again in the next year.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army that went north to Jizhou suffered a heavy defeat, and the Yellow Turban Army, which also raised troops to attack Taishan County, also suffered frequent defeats and did not make much progress.

Also in November of the second year of the first peace, 300,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou entered the territory of Taishan County, and Taishan Taishou should lead the civil and military forces to fight with the Yellow Turban Army several times, beheading thousands of people before and after, and obtaining more than 10,000 people from the old and weak population, and two or two thousand carts of heavy silver. The Yellow Turban Army was unfavorable in several battles, so it withdrew from the territory of Mount Tai and continued to attack Yanzhou to the east.

In December, the number of Yellow Turban troops all the way east surged to more than 500,000, and they captured Rencheng and killed Zheng Sui, the minister of Rencheng. Then, in the Dongping area, he broke the officials and troops who came to suppress it, and killed Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and the accompanying don't drive. This Liu Dai, like Liu Yu, was born in the royal family, and once participated in the discussion of Dong by the princes of the Eighteenth Road, and later killed Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, to make room for Cao Heizi. Lao Cao took over Qiao Mao's position, and only then did he find a foothold in Dongjun, and now it is gradually developing.

After the Yellow Turban Army that broke into Yanzhou killed Liu Dai, their morale was greatly boosted, so they continued to attack eastward, and gradually came to the Shouzhang area, which was close to Dongjun and Jiyin County. The smooth development of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in Yanzhou made the officials and soldiers of Yanzhou extremely panicked, and Liu Dai was killed, and there was no one in charge in the state, so Yanzhou was in a panic.

At the time of this crisis, Cao Cao's subordinate Chen Gong personally went to the state to persuade the middle officials of Yanzhou, saying that only Cao Mengde could break the yellow scarf and save Yanzhou at this time, and Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei who had always had a close personal relationship with Cao Cao, also strongly recommended Cao Cao to serve as the state pastor in the state. After some lobbying, Wan Qian and Bao Xin went to Dongjun in Yanzhou to welcome Cao Cao as the pastor of Yanzhou.

Cao Heizi developed in a low-key manner in Dongjun, waiting for this early day, after some hypocritical concessions, he agreed to Wan Qian and Bao Xin's request, agreed to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou, and led his soldiers and horses to fight against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

The strategist Xun Yu suggested to Cao Cao: "The Yellow Turban rebellion is now powerful, like a mountain torrent transiting, its momentum is menacing, if you resist head-on, I am afraid it is very dangerous." It is better to defend the fortified city, appease the people in each county, and after the momentum of the rebellion of the rebellious people gradually weakens, the lord will lead the army out of the city to defeat the rebellious army distributed in various places, and he will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort! ”

Xun You's suggestion was to first consolidate his own strength, adopt the strategy of exchanging space for time, avoid the front of the Yellow Turban army, and then slowly subdue and attack the counties that were troubled or occupied by the Yellow Turbans.

Cao Cao was good at accepting words, and felt that Xun You's strategy was more secure, so he adopted it all, and ordered the cavalry commander Xiahou Yuan to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to enter Zhencheng, which is two hundred miles west of Shouzhang, and ordered the infantry commander Cao Ren to lead 6,000 soldiers and horses to enter Changyi, the administrative office of Shanyang County, and ordered the rebellious commander Xiahou Yuan to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to enter Chengyang City, fifty miles east of Juyeze, and ordered his subordinate generals Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Yu and other generals to go to the rear counties to recruit troops, seize the time to train the soldiers, and launch a counterattack when the time is ripe.

Yanzhou Beijia Xun Yu, who had just been appointed, took advantage of his convenience from the Yingchuan Xun clan to search for talents for Cao Cao, and it didn't take long to invite the famous man Cheng Yu (Zi Zhongde) and the wise man Xi Zhong (Zi Zhicai).

After Cao Heizi talked freely with these two people, he felt that Cheng Yu and Xi Zhong's strategy was not under Xun You, so he sincerely invited Cheng Yu to engage in Bing Cao and Xi Zhong to engage in Gong Cao.

As for the Guo Jiatong shoes, who are known as ghosts, because they have just passed the year of the weak crown, they have no prestige, so they have not yet entered Wang Zuoxunyu's field of vision.

At the end of this year, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army tossed in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, and as a result, Gongsun Chan and Cao Cao were achieved, so that Gongsun Zhan, who was originally not as prestigious as Yuan Shao, came out on top, and now there is a faint momentum that surpasses Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is even happier.

To say that Liu Dai is really a "living Lei Feng" who does good deeds without asking for returns, he first used the excuse of killing Qiao Mao, who he didn't like, and invisibly helped Cao Cao find a piece of land, and then gave his head to the Yellow Turban Army, and gave up the position of Yanzhou Mu to Lao Cao without self-interest.

After the news of Cao Cao's appointment as the pastor of Yanzhou reached Yecheng, Cao Heizi's little Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, feeling that if he continued like this, his little brother Cao Cao would have to run to the front, and Gongsun Zhan would become a more difficult opponent, so he urgently ordered Yan Liang and Gao Gan, who had finished recuperation, to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hukou Pass, and after paying thousands of casualties, they captured the pass guarded by Yang Chou, a subordinate of Zhang Yang, and finally opened the door to the west and the state.

After Yan Liang and Gao Gan succeeded in one blow, they rushed into Bingzhou non-stop, first occupying Luxian, Tunliu and Xiangyuan in Shangdang County, and then marching north, entering the territory of Taiyuan County, and capturing the big city of Jinyang in one fell swoop.

At this time, several counties in the north of Bingzhou were being invaded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Xianbei Budugen in the south, and the situation was chaotic.

In just a few months, the three families of Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao not only expanded their territory rapidly, but also increased their troops, which was too big a gap with Liu He, who returned to Youzhou and was still busy helping his father Liu Yu resist Kebi's ability to enter the Kou.

In the afternoon of this day, Liu He was receiving the "gentle treatment" of "Sister Ai'er's" needle prick in the back of the cheek in the West Courtyard, when he suddenly received an urgent report from the direction of Macheng, and he was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the couch despite the pain.

Liu He shook his head and said with emotion: "It's really dangerous!" If Zilong hadn't arrived in time, not only would the grain transportation team suffer a catastrophe this time, but Dad would also be unlucky in Macheng! ”

Liu Fang, who came in to deliver the news, looked at Liu He lying there, his back and buttocks were full of bright silver needles, and he shook his head and tail from time to time, feeling that it was really indecent, and what made his head even bigger was that Zhao Ai'er, who was responsible for pricking needles for Liu He, had not left at this time, but just sat next to the bookcase, with a funny expression on his face.

"Ahem...... Ahem, Childe, I wonder when today's treatment will end? I have something to say below. Liu Fang carefully chose his words, not only to remind Liu He, but also not to annoy Zhao Beijia's sister.

Zhao Ai'er is a smart person in Bingxue, and when she heard this, she got up and said, "I'll go to the East Courtyard to talk to the two ladies first, and by the way, I will diagnose the pulse of the little boy and see how this little guy's body has grown recently." ”

Liu He nodded on his stomach. "Go and come back quickly, I feel like the fire is burning in the back, it's so uncomfortable!"

Zhao Ai'er covered her mouth and left with a smile, leaving Liu in the house.

"Childe, judging from the battle reports sent back from the front, although Kebineng was forced to retreat by Yan Rou, the main force was not greatly damaged, and the two armies may have to confront each other for a while in the future."

"The defenders of Macheng have obtained the first batch of grain and grass, which should be able to support it for a while, and now I am worried about whether the second batch of grain and grass escorted by Xian Yufu will be delivered smoothly."

"As long as Yan Rou no longer fights against the water, Ke Bineng will not dare to sneak attack again, and the second batch of grain and grass escorted by Captain Xian Yu should not encounter problems."

Liu He said thoughtfully: "Alas, this Yan Rou is really a headache!" ”

"Childe, in my opinion, Yan Rou still has use value for the time being, you might as well win him over for the time being, and when the interior of Youzhou is completely stable, you can use him to practice."

"The truth is good, but the problem is that time is running out! We are struggling to support in Youzhou, but Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao and others are busy seizing the land and expanding the territory. ”

"Childe, the only way to do this is to send someone to Xiangping, get in touch with Gongsun Du, and persuade him to send troops westward and make a move to attack Gongsun Zhan's lair Lingzhi, so that the internal pressure we face will be reduced a lot."

"Well, this plan is good, but the journey from Jicheng to Xiangping is nearly two thousand miles away, not only does it take a lot of time to go back and forth, but it also has to cross the territory controlled by Gongsun Zhan, and it is probably difficult for ordinary people to complete this important task!"

"Childe, if you know someone below, you may be able to take on this important task."

"Oh, who is this man?"

"Han Heng of the Daijun Takayanagi clan."

"Hey, isn't Gao Liu where Wei Yu is stationed now?"

"Exactly there."

"Okay, then hurry up and send someone to Gao Yanagi to invite Han Heng!"

"Childe doesn't have to worry, this Han Heng is in Jicheng now."
