Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 481

Chapter 480: Prefect of 24 Counties

The five governors of the Yellow Turbans are divided into five states, but what these five people want to do most is the same thing, that is, unify their own jurisdictions.

With the exception of Zhang Sheng, who controlled Yanzhou, none of the five governors ruled a single state, and Hong Xiuquan was the worst offender.

Qingzhou governs two counties and four countries, and Huang Chao has one county and three countries, namely: Jinan, Le'an, Donglai, and Qi;
Jizhou has jurisdiction over three counties and six states, and Dou Jiande has two counties and two states, namely: Julu, Anping, Zhao State, and Zhongshan;
Yuzhou has jurisdiction over two counties and four countries, and Li Mi has four countries, namely: Liang, Pei, Chen, and Lu;
Xuzhou governs two counties and three kingdoms, and Fangla has one county and two kingdoms, namely: Donghai, Langxie, and Guangling;
Yangzhou governs six counties, while Hong Xiuquan has only Danyang and Yuzhang counties and several counties in Jiangbei. The real essence of Yangzhou is still in the hands of the Han army.

As the eldest disciple of a great teacher, but now he is the worst among the governors, and Hong Xiuquan can't sit still.

Hong Xiuquan desperately needed merits to prove himself, so when Baijia was simply bewitched, Hong Xiuquan was fooled.

After fighting with Yangzhou Mu Liuyao, Hong Xiuquan captured four victories and captured Huainan.

Liu Yao's vulnerability surprised Hong Xiuquan, and even saw the dawn of unifying Yangzhou, so how could it be possible to listen to Zhang Sheng's words and honestly return to Jiangbei?
After receiving the imperial decree, Hong Xiuquan burned his hands after reading it.

In this little girl's film, she really regards herself as an emperor. In fact, it's just a puppet that Shizun temporarily launched to temporarily stabilize the situation. It's a dream to want me, Hong Xiuquan, to obey!Hong Xiuquan sneered.

Others don't know Zhang Sheng's identity, and Hong Xiuquan, who is Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple, can't know. He didn't expose Zhang Sheng just because the Yellow Turbans really needed her, but it didn't mean that Hong Xiuquan would be loyal to a woman.

Although there are not many people who know Zhang Sheng's identity, there are not many people, and the reasons for not revealing them tacitly are basically the same as Hong Xiuquan.

Under this strange tacit understanding, how long can Zhang Sheng's identity be kept secret?Nobody knows.

On the Yangzhou side, Hong Xiuquan directly ignored Zhang Sheng's orders and continued to lead the south.

The situation on Li Mi's side in Yuzhou was similar to that of Hong Xiuquan.

However, even though they were both resisting the decree, Li Mi's superficial work was much better. At least he found a reason, and it was over in terms of face.

In fact, although Li Mi occupies the land of the four kingdoms, he is only slightly better than Hong Xiuquan.

The real essence of Yuzhou lies in the two counties of Runan and Yingchuan. These two counties account for 98 of the 54 counties in the state. Among the four countries, Liang, Chen, and Lu are not big countries. The only good one is Pei. country.

Yingchuan is the stronghold of Confucianism, so the situation is rather special. The Han army did not place many garrison troops, and the Yellow Turbans also deliberately avoided the problem of Confucianism, so Yingchuan has always been in a state of autonomy.

As for Runan, when Xiang Yu went south to Jingzhou, Li Mi had already captured and bloodshed the Yuan family, but after Xiang Yu was defeated, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to counterattack into Runan.

Runan was originally the territory of the Yuan family, and Yuan Shu’s return was equivalent to the return of his master. The magistrates who had surrendered all defected, so Yuan Shu easily recovered more than [-] counties in Runan.

After Xiang Yu was defeated, Qin Hao only captured a few counties such as Wancheng, Fancheng, Xinye, etc. in order to open up the passage to Sizhou, so most of Nanyang's county was still in the hands of the Yellow Turbans.

Li Mi originally wanted to incorporate Nanyang, but after Runan was occupied by Yuan Shu, Nanyang naturally became an enclave.

The temptation of Nanyang's fat meat was too great, coupled with Yuan Shu's aggressiveness, Li Mi, who had always been calm, lost his mind, so he even ignored whether he could swallow it.

After Yuan Shu conquered Runan, although he could not hold back, he wanted to preserve his strength, so he asked the imperial court for help.

When the Han court learned that the Yellow Turbans had attacked in two groups so quickly, they also felt great pressure.

The northern Hu troubles have not yet been resolved, and the Yellow Turban troubles have arisen again.

In the face of Daming's active attack, Dahan can't do it without taking it.

The spring food has just been harvested, so the big man is not unable to send troops, but of course it is impossible to support it on a large scale.

However, it is not enough to send reinforcements alone. Once the reinforcements leave, the local defense is still a big problem.

In desperation, Liu Hong had to carry out the third canonization ahead of schedule, and most of the seals this time were the prefects of the south.

The first is the problem of Yangzhou.

Liu Yao really didn't know how to lead the army. Facing Hong Xiuquan's repeated defeats, Liu Hong had to give him some helpers.

Sun Jian's outstanding performance in the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, and he was originally from Jiangdong, so he was named the Marquis of Wucheng, the prefect of Wu County.

In addition, in the battle between Liu Yao and Hong Xiuquan, if Lu Kang hadn't arrived in time to lead the army, Liu Yao might have been wiped out.

Therefore, Lu Kang, a famous scholar in Jiangdong, was named the prefect of Lujiang by Liu Hong, and Wang Lang was named the prefect of Kuaiji.

Yangzhou is far from Luoyang, while Yuzhou is close at hand.

Luoyang had already been breached by the Yellow Turbans once, so Liu Hong would never allow it, and Daming extended his sphere of influence under his nose.

Yuan Shu broke the yellow turban and received Runan's merits, and was named the prefect of Runan, and ordered him to block Li Mi and wait for the reinforcements of the imperial court.

As for the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, among the generals in Luoyang, Liu Hong chose Cao Cao.

It's not that Liu Hong doesn't trust Qin Hao, but Qin Hao has already made too much credit. Liu Hong is still struggling with how to reward this son-in-law, and naturally he won't let him continue to lead the army.

In this battle of breaking the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao's performance was second only to Qin Wen, Dong Zhuo and Qin Hao, so he was not only named the leader of the army, but also awarded the post of the prefect of Yingchuan, and was also named Marquis of Yangzhai.

Cao Cao went to Yuzhou this time, but he shouldered a heavy responsibility. All the previous prefects, including the state shepherd, led the troops and horses of their headquarters to their posts, and he was the only prefect who 'abducted' the imperial troops and horses to his post.

After conferring Yuzhou Liu Hong, Xuzhou and Jingzhou were canonized.

Tao Qian, the prefect of Xuzhou, protected the two counties of Xiapi and Pengcheng, and named them Xuzhou Shepherd, and the ninth State Shepherd of the Han Dynasty was also born.

Chen Gui, a famous scholar in Xuzhou, assisted Tao Qian in repelling the Yellow Turbans several times, so he was named the prefect of Pengcheng.

Jingzhou already has a state shepherd, so Liu Hong only canonized the prefects of the prefectures.

Huang Zu was the prefect of Jiangxia;
Han Xuan is the prefect of Changsha;
Jin Xuan was the prefect of Wuling;
Zhao Fan is the prefect of Guiyang;
Liu Du was the prefect of Lingling;
As for the largest Nanyang County in Jingzhou, because it is close to Sizhou, but it is still under the control of the Yellow Turbans, it must be recovered as soon as possible.

As for the candidate for the prefect of Nanyang, Liu Hongsi thought about it, and finally decided to appoint his son-in-law Qin Hao.

For Qin Hao, the son-in-law, Liu Hong is quite satisfied, and Qin Hao has made such a big contribution this time, and he really has to reward him.

Liangzhou was still in turmoil, so Liu Hong missed it, and Yizhou was banned for several heroes to serve as prefects because of its stability.

After three canonizations, Liu Hong conferred a total of nine state shepherds and 24 prefects. So far, all states and counties of the Han Dynasty have masters, and the era of princes has officially begun.

　There are still some princes in the mainland that did not appear, because the territory is not enough, but after recovering some of the Kanto land, those princes will still come out, and Liuxiang will try to follow the original history.
