Shandong and Shanxi are not the names of provinces in later generations, but are the same regional concepts as the south and north.

Geographically speaking, the south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains is called the south, and vice versa.

In ancient times, the east of Kunshan and Hangu Pass was called Shandong, and the west was called Shanxi.

This, of course, refers to the north of the Yangtze River.

The south of the Yangtze River is just a wild land, and it is not included in the regional concept of Shanxi, Shandong.

In the process of the princes discussing Dong, the princes of Shandong hung up the nine roads, leaving a large power vacuum, giving Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and others space for re-political reshuffle and staking land.

Ye Teng killed Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and Jizhou Assassin Shi Han Fu; Yan Ruoyu killed Guangling and guarded Zhang Chao; The sword killed Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun; Shen Yuyang killed Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai; Luo Rui killed Shanyang and guarded Yuan's will; Yue Qingyun killed Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling; Wang Kuang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, and Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Shangdang, died at the hands of two first-class players in China.

After the princes finished their discussion of Dong, except for Wucheng Marquis Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian, and Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, who was killed to the point of almost only one single, returned to his original territory to re-take office, the remaining princes such as Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zan played the trick of recommending each other for promotion when Shandong left a large power vacuum.

First of all, Cao Cao recommended Gongsun Zhan, who was attacked by Long Xiaotian, to serve as the Taishou of Dongjun, and then Yuan Shao recommended Cao Cao, the captain of Xiaocai, to serve as the assassin of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan jointly recommended Yuan Shao to serve as the pastor of Yuzhou.

In the end, even Liu Bei took advantage.

Although Liu Bei at this time, he couldn't be on the stage in the hearts of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. But under his own weeping plea, Gongsun Zhan recommended him to be the magistrate of Moling County for the sake of his classmates.

Although a letter of recommendation doesn't play a role, it doesn't matter, at this time, Yangzhou Mu is the Han clan patriarch Liu Xuan! After Liu Bei came to the door, he detailed the friendship of the same clan, coupled with the continuous rebellion in Yangzhou at this time, and the barbarians often went down the mountain to harass, Liu Miao just lacked a powerful thug in his hands, so the two sides hit it off, and Liu Bei successfully served as the commander of Moling County, which was in real power!

——————————

After Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, with the support of Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Gongsun Zhan, as well as the Cao family and Xiahou family, he quickly secured the position of Yanzhou's assassin history. The three counties of Shanyang, Jiyin, and Taishan County, as well as the ministers of Dongping, Rencheng, and Jibei, were all replaced by their own cronies. Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Mao Jue, Cheng Yu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, etc., either in real or part-time, have become high-ranking officials at the county guard and national minister-level.

Unlike the state chaplain, the Assassin has no authority to appoint such high-ranking officials. But it doesn't matter, Cao Mengde is very comparable, as long as these recommendations are written in the Puyang Assassin's Mansion, in duplicate, one is sent to the court in Chang'an by a messenger, and the other is handed over to the subordinates who are promoted.

You read that right, Cao Mengde still set up the Yanzhou Thorn Mansion in Puyang, Dongjun.

Cao Cao never thought that Dongjun would really be handed over to Gongsun Zhan, and the reason why he recommended Gongsun Chan as the Taishou was just that he felt that Gongsun Chan was a good general, and he also fell in love with the elite white horse righteous servant in his hand!

After Gongsun Zhan came to Dongjun, he found that he could not interfere at all in government affairs, so Cao Cao directly recommended him to the imperial court as the general of Zhendong, and then sent him to Taishan with Xiahoudun and Cao Hong to suppress the remnants of the Yellow Turban. As a new guest army, Gongsun Zhan sent people under the fence, and he didn't dare to let go of his fart, so he could only obediently drive to Taishan County.

Gongsun Chan was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, Zhang Miao was not allowed to meddle in military affairs, and at the same time as Gongsun Chan was sent away, Cao Cao appointed Le Jin Le Wenqian as the lieutenant of Chen Liudu, and commanded the military power of the entire Chen Liujun!

At this point, Cao Cao completed the unification of Yanzhou's nominal government and military orders.

Of course, the reason why it is only nominal, is because Cao Cao actually only sorted out the personnel relations, and most of the newly appointed taishou, state ministers, governors, and county commanders still have a long way to go before they can live up to their names.

At this time, Yanzhou still has not recovered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people's livelihood is withering, the remnants of the Yellow Turban are in the wilderness, and even the entire Taishan County is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army!

However, it doesn't matter, Cao Cao doesn't mind fighting the country again, so that it can completely turn into a butterfly and become his own big rear, laying a solid foundation for the future competition for the world!

——————————

Compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's foundation is much stronger.

First of all, from the perspective of the family, although they are also eunuchs, the Cao family is often criticized after being eunuchs after all; And the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, people in the sea are looking forward to it, from Cao Cao as the initiator of the princes to discuss Dong, but the leader of the alliance makes Yuan Shaodang visible.

In the Han Dynasty, not only Yuzhou is the traditional territory of the Yuan family, but also Jizhou and Qingzhou are also in power by Yuan's protégés Han Fu and Zang Hong.

Therefore, after the princes discussed Dong, Yuan Shao successfully ascended to the high position of Yuzhou pastor, and he could appoint the Taishou, the state minister, and the county commander of each county in Yuzhou at will, and he was a real local warlord.

At this time, Yuzhou, in any aspect, was not comparable to Cao Cao's Yanzhou.

Yuzhou, also known as Zhongzhou. When Xia Yu divided Kyushu, Yuzhou was the center. It has always been the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of China. Compared with Cao Cao's Yanzhou, it is more than all-round:

The military is stronger. First of all, regardless of the county soldiers in the counties under their jurisdiction, the private soldiers of the Yuan family alone are not the enemy of ordinary princes.

Society is more stable. The remnants of the Yellow Turban in the wild of Yuzhou, compared to the powerful government army in Yuzhou, are simply not worth mentioning, and they are suitable enough to be used as wild monsters to train troops and brush up their ranks!

The economy is richer. Compared with Jizhou and Jingzhou before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it ranked first among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty;

Talent is more prosperous. The famous Yingchuan Academy is located in Yuzhou, and the same family is born, and there is no obstacle for the academy to support Yuan Shao's talents.

Support is stronger. Whether it was an official or a gentry in Yuzhou, when they heard that Yuan Shao was the pastor of Yuzhou, not only did they not have any dissatisfaction, but they immediately expressed their support with money, food, talents, and resources.

Therefore, after Yuan Shao ascended to the position of pastor of Yuzhou, he only directly appointed Fu Zhi as the commander and Yan Liang as the commander in charge of civil and military affairs, and then focused on Jizhou, Qingzhou and other places.

It can be said that today's Yuan Shao is the only super prince in Huaxia District!

Other princes, such as Dong Zhuo Zhan Sili, Liu Biao Zhan Jingzhou, Liu Miao Zhan Yangzhou, Liu Yan Zhan Yizhou, Liu Yu Zhan Youzhou, and Cao Cao Zhan Yanzhou, can only be regarded as first-class princes, and there is no lack of challenging forces in the territory, and many counties do not listen to the tune or the announcement.

Of course, the super princes also have the troubles of the super princes.

For example, Changshan Country in Jizhou is still occupied by Ye Teng, for Yuan Shao, it is like a bone in his throat, and Yuan's Wubao was attacked, which made Yuan Shao hate it to the bone, and he thought about revenge anytime and anywhere.

What's even more hateful is that Zang Hong, a protégé of the Yuan family in Qingzhou, doesn't seem to be so obedient, and has the intention of breaking away from the Yuan family's self-reliance, which is simply ungrateful, is it tolerable or unbearable!
