Chapter 12 Cao Cao's Prosperity

Chapter 12 Cao Cao’s fortune

Jiaozhou has seven counties and 51 counties. The number of cities in the seven counties is not as good as that of the four counties in Jiangdong. Moreover, Han and Yue live together. Although there are nobles, they can only be said to have good relations with Shanyue. In terms of influence and power, they are far less powerful than Shanyue. Therefore,

Jia Xu made a plan to rebel against the gentry in Jiaozhou. Shixie's family was destroyed, and all seven counties in Jiaozhou rebelled. This shows Shanyue's power in Jiaozhou.

Although Jiaozhou is now pacified, if Qingtian City can capture Yizhou, Jiaozhou will be the hub of Jiangdong and Yizhou for a long time. Moreover, Nanman is different from Jiaozhou Shanyue in that it is extremely exclusive and has a complicated relationship with Jiaozhou Shanyue.

, if you are not careful, not only will you not be able to capture Yunnan, but you may be taken advantage of by the enemy.

Therefore, Qin Tian simply stopped and vigorously mobilized resources to develop Jiaozhou. Firstly, the products here were rich, and secondly, he also needed to stabilize people's hearts.

It took a full year to stabilize Jiaozhou and open several arterial roads between Jiangdong and Jiaozhou to make the roads smooth. At the same time, a large number of refugees were moved into Jiaozhou, increasing the proportion of Han people here.

In real terms, it didn't take long for Qin Tian to capture Jiaozhou. After all, Jiaozhou was different from Jiangdong, and today's Qingtian City was not the same as it used to be with only a few soldiers and no advisers. Jia Xu decided to capture Jiaozhou with one plan, which really saved a lot of time.

, but governing Jiaozhou has taken Qin Tian countless energy. Almost all the resources accumulated by Qingtian City in the past two years have been invested in the construction of Jiaozhou, building bridges and paving roads, appeasing the people's hearts, migrating Han people to Jiaozhou, and at the same time migrating Yue people to Yangzhou.

Balancing the proportion of the population of various ethnic groups under the rule is a huge project. If there were not a group of capable officials sent by the Gu and Lu families, it would take at least three years to pacify Jiaozhou according to Jia Xu's calculations.

See results.

Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh. After all, the Gu and Lu families were just a big family in Jiangdong. Thinking about the big families in the Central Plains under Cao Cao, Qin Tian felt an unspeakable pressure. It was easy to conquer the world, but difficult to rule the world. Just Jiaozhou would cost a lot of money.

It took Qin Tian a year of hard work, and this was because there were no big families in Jiaozhou. A scholar family, not to mention those big families in the Central Plains, even the Gu and Lu families, did not take it seriously.

The foundation of the Zhen family is basically still in Jizhou. Although it has now established a firm foothold in Jiangdong, it is an empty shell and will not be used in a short time.

"Teacher, do you know the news about the Central Plains?" Qin Tian and Jia Xu were walking side by side in the Bushan County school grounds, watching the teams of soldiers training. There was some worry in their tone, but also some indescribable excitement.

.

The source of Qin Tian's worry and excitement comes from the same person - Cao Cao.

Historically, the reason why Cao Cao became the lord of Yanzhou was because millions of Yellow Turban troops attacked Yanzhou in a large scale and defeated Yanzhou counties. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, ignored the dissuasion of Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and led his troops to fight fiercely with the Yellow Turban Army. As a result, the army was defeated.

Facing the fierce offensive of millions of Yellow Turban troops and the lobbying of Cao Cao's adviser Chen Gong, Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao as the lord of Yanzhou to fight against the Yellow Turban army.

After Bao Xin died in battle, Cao Cao "set up surprise ambushes and fought day and night" and finally defeated the Yellow Turbans. He captured more than 300,000 soldiers and a population of more than one million. Cao Cao collected their elites and formed an elite army, which he later followed Cao Cao in his expeditions to the north and south.

The Qingzhou soldiers who made great achievements in the battle

It's just that in the Three Kingdoms of Samsara, with Guan Hai's surrender to Qintian, the Yellow Turban Saint Zhang Ning was finally attracted to settle in Qingtian City, and a large number of Yellow Turbans moved south. Even if some die-hards stayed in Qingzhou, they were still in danger, and there was no chance of a million-Yellow Turban War.

Yanzhou's big move, without the opportunity brought by the Yellow Turbans' attack on Yanzhou, how could this hero of the Three Kingdoms become the leader of a state and take the first step to dominate the world?

Many people felt sad about it. Even Qin Tian sighed a little. Is the Three Kingdoms still the Three Kingdoms without Cao Cao?

However, the Yellow Turban Army did not bring opportunities to Cao Cao, but it does not mean that Cao Cao really has no chance. With Qin Tian entering Jiaozhou, it indirectly brought an opportunity to Cao Cao.

Before Dong Zhuo's death, the Yuan brothers were the most popular among the princes of Guandong, and Yuan Shu was even more daring. He only broke his wings in front of Qin Tian a few times, and his navy was wiped out by Qingtian City, which also strengthened Qingtian City's own troops.

.

Yuan Shu has always wanted to expand his territory, but because Qingtian has always been in charge of Qingtian City, Yuan Shu is very afraid and does not dare to easily send troops to attack the four directions. He thought that after Yuan Shu was the third prince, he was now controlled by a small rebel in Qingtian City. Let him

Why is it so embarrassing?

Qin Tian sent troops to Jiaozhou, and the three surrounding princes reacted differently. Sun Jian was the most active. Once Qin Tian captured Jiaozhou, the four counties in Jingnan would fall into the siege of Qingtian City and be surrounded by enemies on both sides. On the other hand, Qingtian City had enemies on all sides, but

Regardless of Jiangdong or Jiaozhou, although they are both vast and sparsely populated places, their terrain is uniquely endowed by nature. Not to mention Jiangdong, one river carries water, which isolates the princes in the north of the Yangtze River. With the peerless naval general Gan Ning joining the navy of Qingtian City, its power will increase.

Although it is difficult to defeat Sun Jian's navy because of Zhou Yu's existence, it can still hold on firmly. Zhou Yu has attacked Chaisang Water Village several times but returned without success.

Although Jingzhou had a large naval force, the death of Huang Zu caused Jingzhou to argue for a long time over the strategically important area of ​​Jiangxia. Finally, Liu Biao overcame all opinions and sent his trusted generals Liu Pan and Wenpin to guard the river.

Gan Ning was defeated, but the defense was more than successful. As for Yuan Shu, although he was powerful, his navy was tortured by Qingtian City, so he basically ignored it.

Sun Jian actually thought about occupying Jiaozhou first at first, but compared to Jiaozhou, Jiangdong is obviously more suitable for the rear area. In addition, Qin Tian's reputation as a rebellious official and traitor did not require any excuse to capture it, so Sun Jian naturally chose him as the first priority.

Surgery object.

However, things went against expectations. In the battle of Yuzhang, all the elite troops were lost. In a short period of time, it was not enough to defend against Qin Tian. It was even impossible to conquer Jiaozhou because Qin Tian took the lead.

One step is slow, each step is slow. Until now, I can only watch Qin Tian attack Jiaozhou, but there is nothing he can do. The governor of Yuzhang, Taishi Ci, has stationed troops in Nanchang and is eyeing Jingnan. Once the troops are sent out, he will face the dilemma of being attacked from two sides, even if Zhou Yu

Although he once wanted to unite with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu to cause some trouble for Qin Tian, ​​Liu Biao didn't take it seriously.

Jiaozhou is a barren land, and it is separated from Jingxiang by Sun's four Jingnan counties. Moreover, Gan Ning guards Chaisang, and is assisted by Kan Ze, Wen Pin, and Liu Pan. Although they are strong, it is difficult to launch an attack.

It worked, but it was in vain to lose troops and generals. Liu Biao was naturally unwilling to do such a thankless thing.

As for Yuan Shu, he thought that after all, Yuan Shu and Qingtian City had a grudge against a private person for killing his son, and a public grudge against seizing the city. Yuan Shu was definitely willing to create some trouble for Qingtian City.

However, the navy army that he worked so hard to create was abused several times by Huang Gai and Ling Cao, the generals of Qingtian City, so that now Yuan Shu has given up the idea of ​​forming a navy army.

However, although the navy was gone, it was impossible to attack Jiangdong. However, the army in Runan was well established and Yuan Shu was proud of his family background. Naturally, he was unwilling to stay in the small Yuzhou. Liu Dai of Yanzhou was incompetent and took his place.

At that time, there were two states, one in the south and one in the north with Yuan Shao. Sooner or later, the whole country in the Central Plains would also be in his Yuan family's pocket.

Therefore, after learning that Qin Tian sent troops to deliver troops to the state, Yuan Shu did not respond to Sun Jian's call. Instead, he found an excuse and immediately launched a war against Yanzhou.

Poor Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, managed to escape because Qingtian City inhaled a large number of Yellow Turbans, but he died miserably in the hands of Yuan Shu. He even died more cowardly. Yuan Shu found an excuse to go out of the city and beheaded him with swords.

Turn into meat paste.

As the initiator of this war, Yuan Shu was not the biggest gainer. Instead, he became a negative example and directly helped Cao Cao. Yuan Shu's Nanyang Army was defeated by Cao Cao without any suspense. Cao Cao's victory was smooth.

He was promoted to the governor of Yanzhou, sat in Yanzhou, and had a decent base area. Because his personnel under the Hulao Pass were not attacked by other forces, but instead received the surrounding Xuzhou, Qingzhou and even Sili Buluohuang.

The city's congratulations are all friends except Yuan Shu, which is inversely proportional to the situation of Qingtian City.

This news immediately made many players who supported Cao Cao cheer in the player community.

It's hard to explain Qin Tian's mentality clearly. There is no doubt about Cao Cao's ability. Now that he has just matured, Qin Tian should have a headache. In fact, this is indeed the case. Regarding Cao Cao's rise, Qin Tian really has a headache, but in the

In my heart, I felt a sense of excitement that I was eager to try.

Since you are playing this game, you have also chosen the path of fighting for world hegemony. It is a pity that you cannot compete with Cao Cao, one of the ultimate bosses of the Three Kingdoms. Now that Cao Cao has risen like history, Qin Tian is not disappointed, but fights with high spirits.

Ever since he determined his goal, Qin Tian had a desire to compete with Cao Cao in terms of power, and to compete with Marquis Wen in terms of military skills.

Cao Cao was a great hero of his generation. Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms portrayed him as a villain, Qin Tian still admired him very much. He was not from a high background, but he had achieved achievements that the world looked up to.

Lu Bu, however, is at another peak. No matter how brave or powerful a commander is, he is the pinnacle of an era. On the frontal battlefield, no one can resist him.

Competing with Cao Cao for world supremacy, and fighting with Marquis Wen on the battlefield, even as enemies, make people's blood boil.

"My lord, are you worried about Cao Cao?" Jia Xu nodded. Qin Tian was the first to know the information sent by Qingtian City, and Jia Xu was the second.

"That's right." Qin Tian nodded and said bluntly, how could Qin Tian take a capable minister and a hero in troubled times and take him lightly?

Jia Xu sighed quietly: "Currently, Cao Cao's power has just begun, but in a short period of time, he will not be able to threaten our Qingtian City. However, judging from Xu's behavior, he is majestic and does not stick to formalities. In time, he will be our formidable enemy of Qingtian City."

, but at present our army is unable to affect it. My lord’s current plan is to focus on the Southern Barbarians, and as for the Central Plains..."

Jia Xu didn't finish his words, but Qin Tian also knew what he meant. With the current situation of Qingtian City, it was really beyond his reach to intervene in the disputes between the princes of the Central Plains. Saying this, he also warned Qingtian not to aim too high.

Qin Tian nodded, suppressing the excitement in his heart, but looked far away in the direction of the Central Plains, with burning flames flashing in his eyes...
