The war in the second year of An (197) roared with Ma Chao's rebellion.

In the west, the Kansai Qunxiong and Qiang bees responded, and Zhang Lu and Wu Zifang contracted their defensive lines to prepare for a counterattack; In the north, Kobineng also gathered a large army, and war was on the verge of breaking out; In the south, the Yuan brothers finally put aside their prejudices, gathered their own forces, and prepared to raise troops accordingly; Liu Biao was somewhat hesitant, but he was not adjacent to Zhang Han, so he tacitly shrank his forces and slightly expressed his tendencies. In addition, Xingyangzhou assassinated Shi Tai Shi Ci to fight in Jiangdong. For a time, Zhang Han was embattled, and the war was about to be fully ignited.

Zhuhu outside the Saiwai always peeped at the rich China, Zhang Han has always regarded Xianbei as an imaginary enemy, and the relationship between the two parties is very bad. In particular, Zhang Han strictly restricted the outflow of iron tools, which caused strong hostility among the Xianbei people. The war between Zhang Han and Xianbei in the middle of the country was big and small, but it never stopped. The original Captain Camp has now been changed to the Upper Valley Battalion. After Wang Wenxiang succeeded Gao Shun, he sent elite cavalry from time to time to burn and loot outside the fortress. The cavalry was small in size, but it was extremely destructive, and there were often no chickens and dogs left behind in the places they passed, forcing the Xianbei people to dare not approach the side walls to graze. Kebineng also counterattacked several times, but he was knocked out in front of the defense of the ravines of the camp in the upper valley. In the past two years, the Xianbei people have also learned to be obedient, and every spring and summer, they organize a large number of elite cavalry divisions to intercept and kill Han cavalry. The casualties on each other were significant. and prairie rats, hares, and thorns

This attrition tactic irreversibly weakened the central Xianbei. Kebineng is a smart person, and he doesn't know how the situation is pressing. He had long been uniting the eastern Xianbei and the western Xianbei, preparing to start a war against Zhang Han. It's just that Zhang Hanjun is strong and intends to divide Xianbei. After sending envoys to negotiate, the two Xianbei were barely able to maintain their ability to obtain subways through the border city. The two Xianbei have no personal pain, and they are unwilling to be enemies of Zhang Han, and they are vaguely a little gloating.

In the eyes of the Xianbei people. No matter how strong the Han people are, they cannot live on the grassland. As long as you judge the situation, sooner or later there will be a chance. In other words, the two Xianbei are still the old way, the Han is strong, and the Han is weak. Unwilling to take the chestnut in the fire for Kebi Neng. Therefore, no matter how beautiful what Corby can say, he will not be able to convince them for a long time. And before reaching an agreement, Kebineng did not dare to attack Zhang Han in a big way. Once the central Xianbei loses too much, the other two Xianbei will mercilessly swallow it - on the grassland, as has always been. Therefore, when he saw Ma Chao's messenger, Kebineng was overjoyed, and he felt that it was a God-given opportunity.

Of course, Kebineng will not worry about Ma Chao. He said yes. While exaggerating his difficulties, he asked Ma Chao for here and there. And a little later. Quietly sent an envoy to Xindu, and two Xianbei. The envoy to Sindu demanded the restoration of the border city. His words are very humble. claimed that if granted, he was willing to offer the head of Yan Rou of Yan State.

When Zhang Han heard this, he laughed. Kebineng's move is to paralyze and snoop, without any sincerity. Zhang Han asked people to negotiate with him slowly.

The war in Koto has been going on in a steady manner. After a short rest, Tai Shici did not continue to hold his troops forward, but marched forward with great triumph - sending two armies to march east and west at the same time. There were 20,000 men and horses on each road, and sharp siege equipment such as trebuchets and black powder were used. The two armies attacked all of them and quickly occupied Jiangcheng, Jurong and ? Lingsan County.

So far. Tai Shi Ci has captured five county towns in the south of the Yangtze River, in an area that extends to Lishui in the west and Wuxi Lake in the east, within a radius of hundreds of miles. The armies were not far apart, but within a day or two of them, the 100,000-strong army backed the Yangtze River, did not worry about supplies, and could support each other, forming a solid base area.

Obviously, Sun Ce's attempt to occupy Jiangdong is no longer possible. In desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to fake the real thing, and after negotiating with Tai Shici, he sent his family to Xindu.

As for willingness or not, that's gossip. The situation is stronger than the man. The defenders of Danyang were attacked on both sides, and the city could not be relied on - the power of gunpowder was extremely shocking - and it was designated that it could not be defended. Sun Ce's chances of winning are really slim, and he doesn't have much choice.

It is worth mentioning that on the way to Qu'a, the convoy of grandmother, Sun Quan and others was attacked by 'Zhang Jun'. This caused a small controversy among Sun Cejun, but Sun Ce did not change his mind. In Zhou Yu's words, Cao Cao is too bullying, does this little trick also want to deceive people......

Zhou Yu is right, this thing was really done by Cao Cao.

Sun Ce wanted to surrender, but Cao Cao didn't want to. If Tai Shici had gained a foothold in Jiangdong, then Zhang Han's momentum of sweeping the world would not have been able to stop. In any case, Cao Cao could not make Sun Ce surrender. If he could, he even hoped to send troops to support Sun Ce. However, Cao Cao and Sun Ce's enmity was as deep as the sea, and the bloody battle between the two armies had just ended, that is, the two sides wanted to cooperate to resist Zhang, not to mention that it would take time for envoys to exchange, and the possibility of success was also very small. Since the frontal alliance could not be done, Cao Cao wanted to springboard the relationship between Sun Jun and Zhang Jun. Anyway, as long as Sun Ce is prevented from defecting to Zhang Han, he will achieve his goal. So, Cao Cao sent Xiahou? , Xu Zhu and the others led a team of men and horses to secretly infiltrate Wu County.

Get up, Xiahou Yuan marched fast, and he was the most suitable candidate. It's a pity that he has died in battle? Before the pass. Cao Cao had no choice but to send his right and left hand Xiahou? Go to the lead. At this time, Xu Zhu was not Cao Cao's subordinate, but Yuan Shao sent a general to assist Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao was a charismatic leader and had a high prestige in Yuan's army, and he could command movements. Xiahou? is bold, Xu Zhu is brave, and Cao Cao has also invested a lot of money.

However, Wu County was Sun Ce's territory, and although the Cao army was elite, it was very small in number, only more than six hundred. Sun Ce was heavily escorted, and it was unfortunate that Cao Jun failed to succeed in the end.

It's providence! Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh again and again, so he led his troops to retreat to Jiujiang County, preparing to defend the Yangtze River.

On 14 May, the navy broke Yuan Shao's naval division and cut off Cao Cao's retreat.

On May 22, Tai Shici stormed for seven days, Cao Cao personally went into battle, and the whole army stood still. Tai Shi Ci is big

Bombs, asphalt bombs set fire to the camp, and threw a lot of bombs, Cao Cao unfortunately Cao's army was defeated, and the generals were killed Xiahou? The following seventy-three people were beheaded, 4,070 were beheaded, and more than 40,000 people were captured. Danyang Pingding.

Subsequently, Tai Shici drove Sun Jun to cross the river to fight. This is the time to perform, Sun Ce did not shirk, and Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, also led the army from the edict to help the battle. The two armies joined forces, and before Zhang Jun could go into battle, they quickly conquered Jiujiang County - Yan Liang died in battle. Yangzhou Pingding.

Next, without waiting for the Yuan brothers to raise troops, Zhang Han first issued an edict to condemn Yuan Shao's arson (Cao Cao) for rebellion and plotting against him, and announced that he would raise troops to fight against him.

Zhang Huan was in the north, and 50,000 troops from Shanyang and Jiyin went south and marched to Liang and Pei; Tai Shi Ci waved his army northward, and the 100,000 army (including the Sun army and the Lujiang army) reached Runan.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but mess up, resisting and justifying. The wording is sometimes mild, sometimes harsh. The comparison between before and after is confusing. Originally, Yuan Shao gathered tens of thousands of troops to start a war. However, Yuan Shaojun fought a bloody battle in Yangzhou for more than a year, and soon after the new defeat, the soldiers were very tired and their morale was also very low. It's really not the right time. There are many generals who disagree, and Yuan Shao also knows it and has always made up his mind. When the time entered May, locust plagues occurred again in Jianghuai and other places.

In the past two years, disasters have continued in the Han Kingdom. The year before last, a big locust spread to seven states, and Yuzhou was the hardest hit area. The year before last, there was a great drought in the world, and Yuzhou was also implicated. Last year, it was hard to get better, but Yuan's army had been fighting for more than a year, and the grain and grass were already insufficient. This time the locust plague was together. But it will take Yuan Shao's life.

As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first. A hungry soldier is incapable of fighting. Not to mention sending troops to a big battle, it is still unknown whether these soldiers and horses can be fed this year. You say, can Yuan Shao not panic?

At this point, fools know the winner. There was an endless stream of people who came to the wind, and the situation took a turn for the worse, and it was out of control. Zhang Junbing pointed out. It's like a broken embroidery. Many counties did not have to be attacked, and as soon as the feather was reached, the officials and defenders immediately surrendered the city.

In just over half a month, Zhang Huan and Tai Shici converged in the county seat. The county is the seat of governance in Yuzhou, and it is also where Yuan Shao's old nest is located. Yuan Shao saved his will to die and remained silent. Take one's time. However, Yuan Jun's military spirit was in turmoil. Every night, Zhang Jun would catch many deserters. Counting the number of people is scattered, this is the normal feeling of people.

On June 19, the county seat was broken, and Yuan Shao rushed to death. All the armies surrendered. The power of Yuan Shao, the third prince of the fourth world, the lord of Guan ASEAN, and the once-prosperous Yuan Shao was wiped out. When the news came out, the world was shocked, and all the princes from all walks of life were sad.

On June 25, Zhang Han issued an edict reprimanding Yuan Shu for "extravagance and wantonness, and excessive expropriation." Raising troops without authorization" is like a cloud, and wants to raise troops to recruit. The army has not yet arrived. Yuan Shu has already confessed his guilt - Yuan Shu has surrendered. Only then did Zhang Han recruit Yuan Shu and Lu Bu into the court. When the soldiers approached the city, both of them obeyed the edict.

Meanwhile. Zhang Han also recruited Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao into the court.

Liu Biao is talented, but indecisive. This time, Kuai Yue, Han Song, and Liu Xian all persuaded Liu Biao to send troops to help Yuan Shao, but Liu Biao couldn't make up his mind. By the time Yuan Shao's forces collapsed in an instant, the overall situation had been determined, and it was already too late to do anything more.

However, Jingxiang is rich. Liu Biao had 100,000 troops, and he was not willing to surrender. Liu Biao said that it was difficult. expressed his willingness to let his eldest son Liu Qi enter the court as a hostage.

At that time, the newly established counties of Yangzhou, Yuzhou and Nanyang were all war-torn and the people's livelihood withered, and they happened to encounter locust plagues, which were not enough to support the army. And the war in the northwest is booming, and Xianbei in the north wants to raise troops, so Zhang Han wants to agree - anyway, it will be sooner or later, but he is not in a hurry. Xi Zhicai persuaded him.

"Prime Minister, the army must not be taken lightly ......"

Sure enough, it was still Xi Zhi who understood Zhang Han, and he was moved by a word. As for the later "Mighty Universe", "The world is unified, at this time", "Heaven does not accept it, but it is to blame" or something, it is just icing on the cake.

Zhang Han thought about it, every time the army went out, it needed a huge amount of money and food, and at this moment, they all arrived in Jingzhou, and then went back, wouldn't it be useless. Besides, Zhang Han has abundant troops, and he is not short of 150,000 horses.

So, Zhang Han agreed to Liu Biaodi's request and urged Liu Qi to hurry to the letter capital. promised to promise, Zhang Han had no intention of withdrawing the army. It was only in the reorganization of the armies in Yang, Henan, and other places, and the relief of the victims -- employing a large number of disaster victims at low prices to rest roads, transport grain and grass, and always be ready to crusade against Liu Biao.

At this time, only Yizhou (Bashu), Jingzhou, Liangzhou and Jiaozhou were left in the Han Kingdom, and Zhang Han had not yet occupied them. Liangzhou is fighting, Yizhou can't reach it, Jingzhou has already moved his mind, and Zhang Han will naturally not let go of Jiaozhou.

However, the situation in Jiaozhou is different from that of Liu Biao.

Jiaozhi Taishou came from a famous family in Jiaozhou, and his reputation has been known for a long time, and his family is very powerful. Not only is he too shou, but he also took advantage of the chaos to put his younger brother Shiyi as Hepu Taishou; The second brother Huang You, the table is Jiuzhen Taishou; The third brother is a martial artist, and the table is the Taishou of the South China Sea. In this way, there are seven counties in Jiaozhou, and the Shi family has mastered as many as four counties. Moreover, the Shi family is a Cangwu clan, and they also have a great influence in the county.

In addition, the scholar also has a very high prestige in the Southern Barbarians, and is known as "Shocking the Hundred Barbarians" in history.

Moreover, Zhang Han does not have the ability to crusade against Jiaozhou now. Therefore, Zhang Han directly recruited the two sons of the shi? He Shihui entered the court and thought he was a hostage. The priest was a man of the times, and he obeyed orders. Then, he actively cooperated with Han Zhang, the assassin of Jiaozhou, who was dispatched by Zhang Han, expelled Lai Gong, the assassin of Jiaozhou, where Liu Biao was dispatched, and beheaded Wu Ju, the Taishou of Cangwu.

In any case, Zhang Han nominally controlled Jiaozhou again. Of course, what Han Zhang actually mastered at this time was only Yulin County. It wasn't until a few months later that the newly sent Cangwu Taishou completed the reorganization of the county soldiers, and Cangwu County was truly regarded as Zhang Handi's territory. At that time, it was already the New Year, and it was built in 198).
