A.D. 194, the first year of Xingping in Han Dynasty and the third year of Xin Qin Dynasty, April.
After Gongsun Zan was defeated at Jieqiao, he was able to stabilize the situation thanks to the appearance of Zhao Yun. He was able to organize his troops again to confront Yuan Shao in the Bohai Sea and continue the campaign. As Yuan Shao persuaded Liu Yu to raise troops, he gave up the annexation of Yanmen and Taiyuan counties.
, after dispatching Zhang He’s army to return to Jizhou, Gongsun Zan’s mood was not so good!
At the same time, the millions of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, which were ignored intentionally or unintentionally by various princes, developed crazily again, sweeping across the entire Qingzhou in less than half a year. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many old and weak people and Beihai City was strong, they would have left.
With the existence of Gongsun Zan's three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, as well as the super general Tai Shi Ci, Qingzhou may have completely fallen and become the land of the Yellow Turbans.
However, no matter how strong Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Taishi Ci are, facing the so-called millions, there are actually more than 300,000 young men in the Yellow Turban Army. Even if most of them are ordinary people who do not understand military formations, they
For a while, he could only have a headache to protect himself. Not to mention Liu Bei's own reputation and his small thoughts of subduing the millions of Yellow Turbans for his own use, on the grounds that the Yellow Turbans were also Han people, but just Han people who couldn't survive.
, prevented the mass killing of several people.
In short, Liu Bei, who could not be defeated and could not be killed by force, actively contacted the various commanders of the Yellow Turban Army in the end, and persuaded Kong Rong to take actual control of Beihai and adopt the strategy of solidifying the wall and clearing the country.
The battle with the Yellow Turban Army has begun, and now it’s up to us who can’t hold on first.
On the side of Yan and Xu Erzhou, Cao Cao was furious after receiving the news that his father had died in Xuzhou. Regardless of his weakness that he had just finished the war with Lu Bu and needed to recuperate, he insisted on raising troops in Xuzhou to fight for his father.
Revenge.
In addition, on Hongnong's side, after receiving Ying Zige's order, Guo Jia was waiting for the arrival of Meng Tian and his 50,000 new soldiers, and at the same time actively adjusted his layout, and began to investigate whether the entire Sili could not be controlled by Da Qin in the end.
The places under his command, Hanoi and Henan, launched a closing operation. As soon as Meng Tian arrived, he could cooperate with Xu Huang to directly capture Hanoi and Henan, thereby occupying the entire Sili territory.
As for the ruins of Luoyang, which was originally the center of the Han Dynasty, Guo Jia did not ignore it. No matter how Luoyang was abandoned, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang and its surrounding land were all unowned and fertile land in Guo Jia's heart, which was suitable for inclusion in the Qin Dynasty.
Finance, and later as a reward for meritorious service.
The previous attempts to contact Lu Bu and accept the proposal to conquer Lu Bu were also quietly shelved in the message delivery of Heibingtai.
According to the news, after Lu Bu withdrew from Yanzhou, he directly appeared in Nanyang, categorically rejected Da Qin's solicitation, and then led his people to the land of Shouchun without a trace.
Of course, if nothing else goes wrong, Lu Bu should have gone to Yuan Shu.
At this time, Yuan Shu had not yet recovered from the surprise of Sun Ce presenting the jade seal. As a legitimate son of a family who thought highly of himself, Yuan Shu had always firmly believed in his heart that he should be the unique supporter of the Yuan family.
, should be the future of the Yuan family and the future of the world.
But it is obvious that in the hearts of people in the world, Yuan Shao is obviously more popular than Yuan Shu. Even because of the relationship between direct concubines, Yuan Shu has far more support and foundation from the Yuan family than Yuan Shao. But from the perspective of talents,
In addition to using jade seals under Yuan Shu's command,
Sun Ce was exchanged for freedom, and Sun Jian's old subordinates Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai were replaced at the same time. Among Yuan Shu's solid hard power, leaving aside the civil servants for the moment, the strongest military commander turned out to be just
Ji Ling is a top-notch person.
This obviously proves Yuan Shu's status in the hearts of knowledgeable people in the world. Of course, Yuan Shu himself does not think so. He has the jade seal in his hand, and has Yuzhou under his command. Most of Yangzhou is such a sacred place. The army is strong and the horse is strong, the money and food are sufficient, and the population is
The overwhelming Yuan Shu, after Sun Ce joined Zhou Yu to go to Jiangdong and successively captured Lujiang, Danyang and other counties. Even though Sun Ce's intention to stand on his own has become extremely obvious, in Yuan Shu's heart, this is still his own strength.
It can be said that at this time, Yuan Shu had silently placed himself as the number one prince in the world. Even if the Qin army captured Yongliang, most of Sili and half of Bingzhou, in Yuan Shu's heart
, is just an opponent who may divide the world equally in the future.
Although the Great Qin was emotionally incompatible with the vast majority of aristocratic families and even common people in the world who were interested in the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu actually did not care about this. On the contrary, because of the existence of the Great Qin and Ying Zige's proclaimed king,
He felt like he had something in his heart. The ambition that had been hidden for a long time in his heart was lured out by Ying Zige and Da Qin like a mountain fire.
If not for the fact that Lu Bu was still on his way to Shouchun, Yuan Shu would not have known that Lu Bu had decided to join him, and Sun Ce would still be fighting in Wu County. At this time, Yuan Shu might have directly implemented his ambition.
He is equal to Ying Zige in terms of status, and even surpasses Ying Zige and even most of the princes in the world.
In May, the flowers are blooming and the green shade is like the sea. In this month when the hot summer is coming, Meng Tian, who is tired of the journey, leads 50,000 carefully trained Daqin warriors into the territory of Hongnong County, with a solemn expression on his face.
Joined Xu who came to greet him
After Huang and Guo Jia solemnly inquired about Guo Jia's arrangements, and after Hongnong made simple repairs, they directly led the army to Yiyang and Xincheng with Xu Huang, eager to face Henan Yin and Hanoi, eager to try.
At the same time, Ma Dai, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji, under the leadership of Ma Chao, commanded a total of 30,000 elite cavalry and entered the territory of Hedong County. Although Ma Chao, who had gone through training, was still handsome and young in appearance, his mental state was
, spiritual maturity is no longer the same.
After entering Hedong, he followed the requirements of local officials and actively cooperated with local Qin officials to deal with unstable elements in Hedong, stabilize Hedong, and repair internal affairs. On the other hand, he sent people to pay attention to the situation in Yingzige and prepared to send troops to support him.
People contacted the local Heibingtai to actively understand the information of the Shangdang, and were ready to capture the last trace of Zhang He's stay in Bingzhou after he returned to Jizhou.
At this time, Ying Zige had already led Wang Jian, Wang Li, Zhang Xiu, Niu Fu, Yan Pu, as well as a total of 80,000 Qin army warriors and 3,000 flying bear troops northward into the territory of Xihe County in Bingzhou, and joined the former
Fazheng, who came to greet him, went up to the meeting and entered the city. In the county magistrate's house, he listened quietly to Fazheng's description of the current situation in Bingzhou.
