In the spring of the first year of the early Huang Dynasty, in a trance, it seemed to give people an illusion that the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty were reappeared in the land of China - soldiers rose up in various places, and the smoke was billowing out, except for Cao Wei's most core division and school captain's department, almost all states had turmoil of varying scales and degrees.

In fact, this is also expected. The original determination of the Central Plains, the dregs of the old days have not yet been washed away, and it is inevitable that they will rise, and the death of a generation of strongman Cao Cao, in the process of changing regimes, has also ignited the adventurous desire of countless careerists or just bloggers. It is Xun who often calls it "the bottleneck of the second generation", which is exactly what it means.

In the Western Regions, Lü Bu fought viciously with the combined forces of Shule and Dawan near Wensu and Weitou, and then due to the lack of money and food, he sent Guo Mandong to return to Liangzhou and ask for tribute from Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zhang. Zhang Ji refused, saying: "Since King Lu is a minister of our dynasty and should pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, how can he ask for tribute?" It just so happened that at this time, the news of Cao Cao's death came, so Hou Cheng, the general of Lu Bu who stayed behind in Yiwu, immediately waved his army to Dunhuang and looted on a large scale.

When the Liangzhou soldiers followed Su Ze and others to the south of Shuzhong, they had not yet returned to the mainland, and Hou Cheng slaughtered Dunhuang and left. Zhang Jijuan went to Luoyang, it was Xun approved, and the Liangzhou army could be quickly returned to the state, and Su Ze was reappointed as the Dunhuang assassin to Yu Lu army. At the same time, Yang Yue was ordered to send an envoy to the Western Regions to question Lu Bu.

In terms of Bingzhou, Shuozhou, and Youzhou, Xianbei Lord Budugen, Kirbineng and others were defeated and fled in the previous battle, and now they are a coalition of troops, and they go south to harass Wuyuan and Yunzhong border counties. It was Wei and Guo Huai who parted ways, quite killed, but they were not yet able to destroy the main force of the enemy.

In the north of Pingzhou, the Goguryeo throne palace has accumulated for several years, and the generals have come to disturb Xuansu County. Fought in Houcheng in the southwest of the county. The palace can't be defeated. Took the initiative to withdraw troops and return to China. Deng Ai played through Pingzhou Thorn Shi Xiahou Lan, please cut down Goguryeo again to punish him. When they arrived in Luoyang, the ministers all thought that the Quartet was in turmoil, and it was not suitable to use troops externally for the time being, and ordered Xiahou Lan and other Yao soldiers to intimidate them, and not to provoke them without permission.

However, the policy of not fighting outside the country could not restrain Lelang from guarding Liu Yi too much, starting from the end of autumn last year. Liu Yi waved his army south, and directly took Sanhan, and the two armies fought fiercely for several months, winning and losing. Liu Yinai asked Liaodong and other counties to help, and asked the East China Sea division to respond, but unfortunately he was in a bad hurry, Cao Cao collapsed, Kwantung was in turmoil, and Goguryeo also came to intervene, containing the Liaodong soldiers and horses and unable to respond. And Wei Yansuo led the sailor to go south to Wuhui.

In Xinping, Shudi, there are still many old ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty and local heroes who resist stubbornly. After Cao Ren entered Chengdu, he immediately assigned generals to negotiate with all parties, which invisibly slowed down the pursuit of Zhao Yun and others. Zhao Yunnai had to be greeted by the king of the county and others, and entered Yongchang City safely, reinstated Liu Chan as the emperor, and re-established the banner of the Han family.

Lu Su, Niu Jin and others still besieged Ganning in Jiangzhou, and Ma Tan entered the city twice to persuade Gan Xingba to abandon his war and surrender, but he was sternly refused. The court ordered Lu Su to lead the main force of the naval division to retreat temporarily, go down the river, and return to Peng Li, in order to prepare to cut off Cao Chong's way to cross the river south after being defeated and retreating.

Buqi and Huang Zhong waved their divisions straight into Nanzhong, but they were blocked by Yonghong, Zhu Bao, etc., and the two armies did not have a big war, but small frictions and conflicts emerged one after another. Cao Renzuo asked Luoyang, saying that I will tolerate these powerful chieftains in Nanzhong for the time being, but I will never give in and Huang will withdraw his troops, and only after stabilizing the northern part of Yizhou, I will advance to the north and south to completely solve the problem of Nanzhong. The court ordered the southern and central regions to be cut into Yizhou, with Xu Shu as the history of Yizhou assassination, and Cao Rendu to supervise the military ranks of Liang, Yi and Yi.

After Buqi and Huang Zhong entered the country, Jiaozhou also seemed to have an unstable trend, and there were quite a lot of hao chieftains making trouble and harassing the grain movement, and the mastermind behind it was pointing at Shixie. Guangzhou Assassin Shi Lu Yi is the book Fu Shishi, for Chen Fufu, persuade him to self-discipline, and at the same time Wen hired Xiang and Yuan Zhi to make friends with him to calm down.

Of course, the biggest chaos is still in the east, and in February, the auxiliary state Cao Hong entered the eastern capital of Qiaocheng and mobilized troops and horses to fight for the rebellion of the three kings. If you want to talk about Cao Zilian's status in the Cao Wei regime, the ministers all think that it can be compared to the dance of the Xinghan Dynasty. The characteristics of Fan Xu, one is loyalty, and he is a relative, and the other is brave, and he often breaks the enemy first in battle, but he is only a general after all, and he is not a qualified commander. Fan Xu fought with Liu Bang a lot, only a few times did he take charge alone, and most of the second-rate characters he dealt with were Chen Xian, Lu Xuan and other second-rate characters - Cao Hong was the same, uniting the power of several states to determine the chaos, and he had not had the opportunity to show this talent before.

And it is Xun's understanding of the original history, Cao Zilian has never been in charge except for the time when he once guarded Hanzhong. When he was guarding Hanzhong, he successfully defeated Wu Lan and forced Zhang Fei to retreat, and the problem should basically be regarded as Cao Xiu's credit - Cao Cao made Cao Xiu join Cao Hong's army, and said: "Although you joined the army, you are actually handsome." Cao Hong simply entrusted all the soldiers and horses to Cao Wenlie's dispatch.

However, no matter which timeline it is, Cao Hong's reputation is far from being comparable to Cao Xiu's, so as soon as Cao Hong took the initiative to ask for battle, Shi Xun agreed, but at the same time, he also sent Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang as his deputy generals, and sent Zhuge Liang to join the army to assist him. Of course, Shi Xun didn't dare, Cao Chao couldn't think of it, and he wouldn't copy Cao Cao's original words, sarcastically saying that Cao Hong would give up power to Cao Xiu - and in Shi Xun's opinion, Cao Wenlie is just like that, if I really want to replace Cao Hong, it is better to directly hand over the military power to Zhuge Liang.

Fortunately, Cao Zilian is quite self-aware, he knows that although Cao Xiu is a generation shorter than himself, he was once praised by Cao Cao as "this is my family's thousand-mile horse", and he also led the tiger and leopard ride, Cao Cao almost treated him as his own son, so Cao Xiu never dared not listen to him if he was invited. As for Zhuge Liang, he is the master of Xun, Cao Hong has to rely on Xun to do business, coupled with Kong Ming's graceful demeanor, he can win people's hearts in conversation, and Cao Zilian is also very important to him.

So under the planning of Cao Xiu and Zhuge Liang, Cao Hong ordered that Le Jin lead his army to take Juancheng directly, and forced Cao Zhi, who was trying to go south to join Cao Chong, to come back to help. At the same time, he ordered Lü Ju, who was forbidden to enter Runan, and Jiang Qin, who was forbidden to enter Jiujiang, and wanted to cut his wings first, and then encircle Cao Chong's main force.

When the news reached Wu and Hui, the old ministers of Eastern Wu couldn't help but be ready to move, and wrote secret letters to Sun Quan one after another, asking him to find an opportunity to start an incident, take advantage of the opportunity to echo Cao Chong, and then seek to seize Jiangdong. Sun Quan was quite moved, but his eldest son Sun Deng, who was only eight years old at the time, said: "The general trend of the world has been decided, if Daddy goes against the sky, I am afraid that my family will die!" Sun Quan flicked his sleeves: "What do children know?" Sun Deng said: "Zhang Zibu saw that in Pengcheng, there are often books to greet Daddy, if Daddy can't decide, why not ask each other?" ”

Sun Quanxin said that Zhang Zhao's internal affairs are unparalleled, but in terms of seeing the general trend, it seems to be slightly insufficient-I think he persuaded me to attach to Cao Cao early back then, although he listened to Zhou Yu's words, united with Jingzhou, and rejected Cao Bing, but failed, but to this day, he does not regret this matter, and does not think that Zhang Zhao was right at the beginning.

After thinking about it, he summoned Yu to come and discuss. Yu Zhongxiang is a native of Huiji Yuyao, and his father Yu Xin once served as the Taishou of Ninan, so he is also regarded as the queen of the eunuchs, and he is a meritorious Cao when Wang Lang guards the Huiji, and is quite influential in the county. Later, Sun Ce went south, and Yu Tuo persuaded Wang Lang to avoid Sun Ce, but Wang Lang did not listen, and finally lost, and Yu Tuo fled from it until Hou Guan. Wang Lang said to Yu Translation: "Qing has an old mother, so you can pay it back." After resigning, Sun Ce personally came to the door and reinstated him as a meritorious Cao.

After Sun Ceheng's death, Yu turned to assist Sun Quan and was quite credible. By the time "the southerners returned to the south, and the northerners returned to the north", Gu Yong and other leading party members became officials under Cao Wei, and most of the former southern ministers who did not board the thief ship returned to their homes and lived idle—or more accurately, under residential surveillance. Only Yu Zhongxiang, because he was a master of "Yi", was requisitioned by the imperial court as a Quanjiao order, but he was stubborn and still willing to be a guest of Sun Quan's disciples in white. Later, Wang Lang also summoned him to the court several times, but he was politely rejected by Yu Xuan.

Therefore, Sun Quan felt that the Wu people were unreliable, and the Yue people were slightly better, and if he wanted to say that he could trust his heart, only Yu Zhongxiang was the only one, so he secretly summoned him to discuss. Yu Xuan said: "When Brother Ling was here, he took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, relied on Yuan Shu, and entered the south of the Yangtze River, killing many people, Wu Huishi hated him deeply, and even the lord hated defeat and entrusted his orders. Now the lord is trying to make a big plan again, but unfortunately there is not one out of ten who can be used, but he wants to become a hegemon, and it is difficult. And Cao Wei's sailors crisscrossed the sea, harassing Wu and Hui in the past, making me overstretched and exhausted, if he came again, how should I deserve it? ”

Sun Quan was shocked, and said that I almost forgot about Wei Yan's East China Sea Master-"But now I have this good opportunity and don't use it, it's a pity." And Gongyi (Jiang Qin), Zilie (Chen Wu) and others all have books, please come back, if there is no action, it is to trap them to death, how can I bear it? ”

Yu Pan persuaded and said: "Brother Ling's death, Sun Song is chaotic inside and Huang Zu is coveted outside, and the lord can finally succeed his business, for the people's hearts and minds, and protect Zuo'er." Today's initial decision, how similar are the people's hearts and morale's hearts? Although the first emperor is here, Zhu Cao Xiahou is here, and the heir of the Son of Heaven is also called to be Hongfugui, then the rebellion of Liyang, ringworm scabies, He Yun has a good opportunity? Gong Yi, Zi Lie, seek benevolence, and have no regrets in death, but if you fall into the predicament of the lord, I am afraid that you will die and you will not be able to turn a blind eye! ”

Sun Quan said: "Cao Chong also has a letter, if Yun gets Luoyang, he will seal me Wu Hui ......" Yu Xuan said Cao Chong, you also believe it? If he really won the world, could he still tolerate you? Sun Quan waved his hand and said that my words are not finished yet-"The court was jealous of me, but now that I have this opportunity, I will cut off my head." Even if the incident is dead, forbearance is also dead, what can I do? ”

Yu Chuan said: "When people are put to death, they ask for a fight, but they think that the lord does not need to be alarmed." The court is suspicious of the lord, if it were not for the words of Hongfu in the north and south in the past, it would have summoned Luoyang, and not let the lord be in the meeting. Do you want to take this opportunity to move inward? then the court will be able to resolve its doubts and will be able to preserve the head; The Sun family is still rooted in Huiji, and the descendants of in-laws can also prosper. ”

Sun Quan said that if I cross the Jiangbei, it will be like lying on the board, waiting for someone to slaughter me, do you dare to guarantee that the court will not kill me?

Yu laughed and said: "The lord thinks that crossing the river is a fuji, but he thinks that he will be a god?" "Where are you on the board with people now, do you still think there is room for bargaining with the court?" Please turn over the north of the lord, and you can leave here. If the first emperor is here, or if he is the master, the current heir is still young, and he is generous, and he will not do harm. Hearing that Wang Jingxing was edicted to assist the government, the ministers could pass the money to protect the lord. ”

Sun Quan was still hesitating, and suddenly came to the door to report: "Pengcheng Zhang Junshu to ......" (to be continued.) )
