Three hundred and thirteenth chapter Jizhou changed hands one
In April of the second year of Chuping, Cao Cao was invited by Yuan Shao to lead an army of 20,000 from Dongjun. In the first battle, he defeated Cheng Huan, the defender of Puyang in Jizhou, and occupied Puyang. Jizhou was shaken. Han Fu, the pastor of Jizhou, quickly mobilized an army of 60,000 to leave.
During the reign of Ming Chunhe, Li Li led the army to Dunqiu and was defeated in three battles with Cao Cao. He lost more than 10,000 people and had to retreat to Yin'an County to confront Cao Cao. However, Yuan Shao's generals set out from Yanjin and approached Liyang. The sky above Jizhou was full of chaos.
Clouds of war.
Jizhou is one of the nine ancient states, the first of them, with a very vast territory. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country was divided into thirteen states. Jizhou administered nine counties, with 100 counties and a population of one million. It was the main taxation place in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Jizhou pastoralists
Han Fu was originally the imperial censor Zhongcheng. Due to the appreciation of Taifu Yuan Huai, he was recommended as the shepherd of Jizhou and took charge of the military and political power of Jizhou.
In the Prefectural Mufu, the capital city of Jizhou, Han Fu sat there with a look of panic on his face. His original courage was frightened by the military report just now, but Cao Cao's 20,000 troops actually forced his own army into Yin'an and did not dare to move.
Yuan Shao's army is approaching Liyang. Although there is no military report now, its ambition is obvious. Since last year, Han Fu has felt the danger approaching step by step. First, Liu Lin led the army in Xin
He was forced to fight under the capital, which ruined his reputation. Now Cao Cao invaded Jizhou again. Han Fu knew that these ambitious people had taken a fancy to the land of Jizhou in his hands. He already felt that he was the meat on their chopping block.
He is at the mercy of others! But he has no choice. Among the officials in Jizhou, he doesn’t know who can still take on the big responsibilities now. They all claim to be talented, but when it is time to use them, they shrink back and even feel unbearable.
One blow.
Han Fu looked at the civil and military officials in the hall in a daze. Some of them were pale, some were silent, not knowing what they were thinking, and some were filled with indignation, but could not come up with any countermeasures. He sighed and did the last
With a glimmer of hope, he asked: "Everyone, when Jizhou is in crisis now, what other countermeasures can we take to solve the current predicament?" Han Fu asked, and everyone became quiet for a while, but no one came forward to talk. Han Fu was in the hall.
He glanced around and felt a trace of regret in his heart. If it hadn't been for last year's winter, when he believed the rumors and cut off his arm, causing Qu Yi to rebel, Ju Shou and Tian Feng would not have resigned from their positions as counselors, nor would they have even discussed it now.
There was no one there. He pointed helplessly at one of the officials and said, "What do you think we should do?"
When the official heard this, he stepped forward and bowed and said: "My lord, we can go to the court and ask the emperor to issue an edict to mediate this matter!" "Asshole, don't you know that now that the emperor is in dust, all the military and political powers are in trouble?
The traitor Dong Zhuo is in control. What's the use of the above table? Does it give the princes of Guandong more excuses to seize our land in Jizhou?" Han Fu said angrily. The official was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, and other civil and military officials also knelt down.
, dare not speak, only keep promises.
When Han Fu saw these civil and military officials, he felt a headache. He didn't even have the strength to speak. At this moment, a guard from outside came in and reported loudly: "My lord, Yuan Shao's envoy Guo Tu wants to see you!" "Guo Tu?"
What is he here for?" Han Fu said to himself. Seeing that the guard was still in the hall and not leaving, he waved his hand and said: "Let him in!" "No!" The guard clasped his fists and left!
Not long after, Guo Tu walked in with a cheerful face. A month ago, when Guo Tu went to Jizhou to ask for food and grass from Han Fu, Han Fu didn't even see his face. He just sent a guard to convey a message to him.
He also insulted Yuan Shao. Now Cao Cao is approaching Yin'an, and Gao Gan has also led his army to Liyang. If Han Fu is not wise this time, his future end will not be as simple as being a prisoner. When he thinks of this, Guo Tu has been coming for days
The unhappiness was swept away.
When he walked into the hall, he saw that all the civil and military officials of Jizhou were there, while Han Fu was kneeling at the head with a look of confusion. Guo Tu knew that Han Fu was scared, and he became more confident about his coming today.
He bowed to Han Fu in the hall and said, "Guo Tu, the counselor under General Chariot and Cavalry, has met Han Fu!" After saying this, without waiting for Han Fu to give in, he raised his head arrogantly, which made Han Fu extremely dissatisfied.
But now that the situation was stronger than his own, Han Fu had no choice but to endure it and said in a deep voice, "Why did you come here today, sir?"
Guo Tu looked around at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Han Fu's face, and said loudly: "Come and show Han a clear path!" Guo Tu's words were extremely bold and presumptuous, and Han Fu's expression changed drastically.
The civil and military officials in the hall shouted in unison: "Bold!" The guards outside the hall also rushed in, drew their swords and looked at Guo Tu eagerly.
He smiled and said: "I, Guo Tu, admire your courage in being able to make Cao Cao's army retreat and solve the current predicament in Jizhou. Otherwise, your courage is just to ignite the flames of war in Jizhou and make your families cry and wail. What's the point?
What’s the use?” Guo Tu’s words made everyone look at each other, but they had to admit that there was some truth in it.
Han Fu sighed in his heart: "This Guo Tu really has some skills!" He waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please step back. Don't be rude to me!" The guards sheathed their swords and retreated. At this time, Han Fu said
"Just now, sir, you said to come and show me a clear way to Jizhou, what do you mean?" Guo Tu heard this and smiled knowingly. Han Fu deliberately changed what he said just now, "show him a clear way to Jizhou", to "show him a clear way to Jizhou".
A clear way is to find a suitable reason. Guo Tu understood what Han Fu meant, so he raised his hand and said: "Guo Tu won't say more about Jizhou's current predicament. I think Han Shijun and all your lords can see it better."
I am thorough and my thoughts are far deeper than mine. I just want to ask Han Shijun, can the current troops in Yijizhou resist the alliance between Cao Cao and my lord?"
Han Fu's face suddenly darkened. Although he wanted to get angry, but thinking of Guo Tuzhi just now, he had to endure it. However, Jizhou civil and military officials did not point out angrily like before, but just looked at Guo Tu quietly.
, knew that Guo Tu had more to say, and Guo Tu stared at Han Fu with his eyes. Seeing Han Fu at a loss in front of him, he felt very happy. Han Fu originally wanted not to answer, or to say some high-spirited words to encourage himself.
, but when he saw the expressions of everyone in the hall, he was suddenly discouraged and said helplessly: "No!" But before Guo Tu could speak, he quickly said: "But it's still unknown!"
Guo Tu saw that Han Fu was still holding on, so he sneered: "What if Liu Lin is added to the mix?" "What?" Han Fu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, and everyone was shocked.
He turned pale and stared at Guo Tu, who had a proud smile on his lips.
