――In the south of Youzhou, it is connected to Bohai County, and Hejian County is a very important place between Youzhou and Hejian County. Now it has also become an important frontier for Qiantai to block Qingzhou Cao on the west road of Dayinshan.

It is very influenced by the beliefs of Youzhou and Difu Temple.

Gao Shilian, who is under the command of Yan Du, was born in Hejian County, and Gao Shilian was a famous general in Hejian County before his death, and now the Gao family in Hejian County is even more famous. Hejian County is also adjacent to Taishan County and Youzhou in the north, and many people in the county have been believers in the Difu Temple over the years, so many officials, clans, and people in Hejian County have inextricable connections with Youzhou. The mud plough court and worship hall under the command of Qiantai even recruited monks and buried their roots in Hejian County.

Pang Wanshan was able to lead a large army to be stationed in the south of Hejian County, facing Cao's army in Bohai County, and it was precisely because of the pressure of Cao in Qingzhou in the south that Hejian County took the initiative to borrow troops from Qiantai. After Pang Wanshan's army was stationed in Hejian County, Hejian County suddenly became a vassal of Youzhou.

Soon, Pang Wanshan commanded the army in Hejian County, and took over and seized the military power of Hejian County, and Hejian County was overturned by Pang Wanshan little by little.

In the west of Youzhou, Qiantai also influenced westward little by little through the relationship between Youzhou and the Yu family, slowly encroaching on the land of Bingzhou.

Northern Hebei, the central and eastern parts of Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Youzhou's sphere of influence are slowly moving in the surrounding walls, expanding slightly outward.

- In the south, after the defeat of Murong Dan in the north, Cao Pi gathered his forces and stopped harassing the territory of Youzhou in the south.

Cao Pi led an army of 100,000 and returned from the north.

Cao Pi also handed over the Cao family's territory in Jizhou to his subordinate generals to guard the border. After Cao Pi returned with a large army, he invaded Lu County in the south of Leling, and Lu County in Yuzhou in the Central Plains in the south was in an emergency.

Another aspect of Cao's army came out of Qingzhou. Along the two directions of Le'an and Hepu, they attacked Yuzhou Jiao County.

In Reef County. The Cao family army officially defeated the Lu family in Pengcheng, Yuzhou. After defeating the imperial navy under the command of the Lu family, he retreated to Pengcheng County. At the same time, Lu County in northern Henan was also broken and occupied by an army led by Cao Pi.

The ground of Qingzhou suddenly expanded outward, occupying Lu County and Jiao County in northern Henan, plus the nine counties of Boling, Leling, Bohai and Qingzhou in southern Hebei, and the Cao family occupied a total of 14 counties in the world.

Because of Cao Pi's offensive, the Chenghuang faith in Yuzhou, Lujia and Lucheng fell into a very dangerous situation. Because Lucheng and Linxi Village are the earliest places where Difu Temple originated. Lujia Pengcheng County is also the prefectural government where the ancestors of the Lu family lived, and it is an important camp of the imperial court's naval army in the Central Plains.

Looking at Yuzhou in the Central Plains today: in northern Henan, Qufu, another Confucian holy land in the world, that is, the ancestral home of the Confucian family, and Yingchuan, where another famous Confucian family gathered nearby, became a buffer zone between the Cao family in Qingzhou in northern Henan and the Yuan family in Yangzhou in southern Henan. After the defeat of the Lu family in Pengcheng County in northern Henan, more than half of the elite of tens of thousands of sailors were lost, and all of them were broken by the Cao family on the Tongtian River in Jiao County. Cao's army occupied Lu County and Jiao County.

After the defeat, the Lu family's naval army retreated upstream, retreated to the border of Pengcheng County, and sent a large army on the ground to block the pressure of the Cao family's fierce army in the northwest.

The other side. After Lu County broke the city, the people of Difu Temple were blocked by Leling County because of the road to the north. It had to go south and flow into Pengcheng, and return to the parrot state Difu Temple on the water of the confluence of the two rivers in Pengcheng. In order to save themselves, the Difu Temple in Yuzhou took refuge in the Lu family, organized a defense in Pengcheng, and actively recruited the elite of the Difu Temple scattered in Lu County to survive under the rule of the Lu family.

It is said that after Cao Pi occupied Lu County, when he began to work on the political affairs of Lu County, he found that most of the ordinary people in Lu County were believers in the Difu Temple.

The belief atmosphere of Lu County is too strong, this Linxi Village of Lu County is the earliest birthplace of the Difu Temple, so many years have passed, and Qiantai specially sent Gao Shilian to guard the door in Lu County, the belief atmosphere of the Difu Temple in the whole Lu County can be described as very strong, and it is not weaker than Julu, Taishan County and other places in the north.

Cao Pi ordered the army to go to Linxi Village, ordered the army to slaughter all local believers on the spot, and destroyed the Difu Temple in Linxi Village, as well as all the Difu Temples and temples in the territory, and arrested the temple blessings and sacrifices in the Difu Temple. (When the army arrived at Linxi Village, they found that the believers there had already fled by hollowing out, leaving behind pieces of temples and incense ashes of the Difu Temple.) )

At this time, Cao Pi found that there were so many believers in the Difu Temple under his rule, and he also felt very prickly. Some subordinates suggested to Cao Pi that all the believers in the territory be arrested and sent to Qingzhou to be slaves, and the loyalists of the Difu Temple were directly killed on the spot. However, feeling the large number of believers in Lu County, Cao Pi did not agree. Hundreds of thousands of people were taken away, and there was no need for Lu County to exist.

After thinking about it, Cao Pi said to the advisers around him: "The evil gods of the underworld have indeed fooled the people, but now that my Qingzhou occupies Lu County, then now these foolish people are also the people of my Qingzhou." With so many people, do you want to kill all the people who are bewitched by him every time you occupy the prefecture where Qiantai went in the future?" and said: "Since the atmosphere of belief in this Lu County is too heavy, then my Qingzhou will also set up a god for these people, so that it can replace the influence of this Difu Temple in Lu County, I don't believe that there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the side, and when I govern Qingzhou Qingming, let these foolish people live, I can't change the heart of these people An ethereal reliance." ”

"What the governor is saying is that I don't know what a god is?" an official immediately asked.

Cao Pi asked the people around him: "What if you set up the head of Shu Mountain?"

Some officials said: "It's not appropriate, I'm afraid the other party won't agree." ”

Cao Pi shook his head with a smile, and pretended to be nothing: "Then set up the sea god Niangniang, and ten thousand rivers will return, not to mention a small mountain stream." Coupled with the fact that women suppress men, hum, they will definitely be able to break the belief in the Difu Temple and humiliate the evil god of Yandu, hahaha. That's it!"

Cao Pi was the governor of Qingzhou's conquest army, and now he is also the highest authority in Lu County and Southern Hebei County.

The temples and temples of the Difu in various places were destroyed by officers and soldiers, and a goddess who stepped on snakes and crossed the sea was re-established. There is a government forcibly supervised, so that the believers who believe in the temple of the underworld in various places under the rule of the people to worship this sea god Niangniang, and Cao Pi also ordered many scholars to compile books and miscellaneous stories to write and beautify this imaginary sea god.

In the sky, the tide of the power of faith advancing north suddenly became a little shallow, and Yan Du, the doppelganger who was far away in Xiaye, felt for the first time that the dungeon temples in the south were pushed to a large extent, and his idol was smashed, Yan Du's doppelganger snorted angrily and disdained it.
