Reborn Wei Yan

"Haha, my lord, Mr. Xi's plan really worked! Now Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan have already killed each other!" After completing the mission arranged by Cao Cao's army division Xi Zhi in Jizhou, Xu Chu knew that he was pretending to be Yuan Shao's subordinates. The plan to kill Gongsun Yue and his party succeeded!

Xu Chu, styled Zhongkang, was born in Qiaoguo.It is more than eight feet long, and its waist is ten girth wide. It has a majestic appearance and extraordinary courage.At the end of the Han Dynasty, Xu Chu gathered thousands of strong men and clans to build defensive facilities to resist the invasion of bandits.At that time, more than [-] rebels from Gebei in Runan attacked Xu Chu. Xu Chu was outnumbered and exhausted from the battle, and his arrows were used up.When the enemy soldiers rushed up, Xu Chufei retreated with stones, so the bandit soldiers did not dare to approach.When the food was about to run out, Xu Chu pretended to make peace with the bandits and negotiated to exchange cattle for food.After the bandits moved the cows away, they ran back by themselves. Xu Chu went to the front of the battle and walked more than a hundred steps, pulling the cows by the tail.From then on, in the lands of Huai, Ru, Chen, and Liang, everyone was afraid to hear Xu Chu's name.

It turned out that in the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Cao occupied Huai and Ru, and Xu Chu sent people to surrender to Cao Cao.However, due to the intervention of Wei Yan, a little butterfly, Cao Cao saw the power of fierce generals like Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, and was stimulated by the force of "Lu Bu among men", so after Cao Cao failed to attack Dong Zhuo, on the way back, Hearing of Xu Chu's reputation, he went to Runan alone with Xu Zhong, Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao to ask Xu Chu to work for him. At first Xu Chu hesitated, but under the sincerity of Cao Cao's repeated visits, finally Xu Chu was Worship Cao Cao as the Lord!From then on, this "tiger idiot" served Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also had top generals under his command!Later, when the left general Wei Yan heard that Xu Chu belonged to Cao Cao, he was very regretful!

As for why Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai wanted to be independent, it was because after Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, Bao Xin said to Cao Cao: "Yuan Shao is the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and he will cause chaos by seizing power and profit. It must be another Dong Zhuo in the near future." Now you are not his opponent, the only way to do it now is to choose a county south of the Yellow River and wait for the change." Only in this way can we have the strategy of Xi Zhicai later!

"Haha, I, Cao Mengde, has ambition and talent, and Wu has Zhongkang, what else can I do?!" Cao Cao said proudly after hearing Xu Chu's words!Although Cao Cao envied Wei Yan for being surrounded by great talents such as Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xun You, as well as powerful generals such as Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, but look at the Xi Zhicai, Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and others around him. Talents like Xia Houyuan and Le Jin are not inferior to Wei Yan!

"My lord, it is only the first step to make Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan turn against each other. The second step is to find a way to contact the Black Mountain Army and make the Black Mountain Army rebel. At this time, Yuan Shao has been beaten to death by Gongsun Zan. At that time, the Lord will send troops. Now is our chance! In the end, we will choose a place, and then we will slowly map it, and when the lord has his own territory and troops, who will be the lord's opponent in this world?!" After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Zhicai hurriedly He was very humble, and then continued to analyze Cao Cao!

"Okay! Just do what Zhicai said! Haha——" Cao Cao said excitedly after hearing Xi Zhicai's words!

Sure enough, in the autumn of the second year of Chuping (191), the Heishan Peasant Army headed by Yu Du, Bai Rao, and Sui Gu attacked Weijun (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) and Dongjun (now southwest of Puyang, Henan). The prefect Wang Gong couldn't resist.Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao, who was subordinate to him at the time, to lead troops into Dongjun in order to develop his own power.Cao Cao defeated the Bairao Department of the Black Mountain Army in Puyang.Yuan Shao tabled Cao Cao as the prefect of Dongjun, and changed his administration to Dongwuyang (now Cao County, Shandong).In the spring of the following year, Cao Cao defeated the Heishan army at Pobu in Dunqiu (southwest of Qingfeng, Henan today), and defeated the Heishan army at Suigu in Neihuang (northwest of Neihuang, Henan today) and the Huns who were harassing Dongjun in Fuluo, and pacified Dongjun. county.Since Cao Cao raised his troops, he has had a hard time in the territory, and now he has a foothold in Dongjun.

After Yuan Shao succumbed to Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao followed the counselor Xu You's strategy and encouraged the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou to continue making waves. In the end, Gongsun Zan had to continue to send troops to suppress them. opponent! [

In November of the second year of Chuping (191), the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou (now north of Zibo, Shandong) had 30 troops in Bohai County (now northeast of Meipi, Hebei), preparing to join another peasant army, the Heishan Army.Jianglu school Wei Gongzan led [-] soldiers on foot to meet the Yellow Turban from the station in Youzhou (southwest of Beijing today), and the two armies fought fiercely in Dongguang (southeast of Cang County, Hebei today).Gongsun Zan broke through the Yellow Turban and beheaded more than [-] people.The Yellow Turban Army abandoned their luggage and crossed the Yellow River south.Gongsun Zan set up an ambush by the Yellow River, and suddenly attacked when the Yellow Turban was halfway across. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers died, and blood flowed like a river.

In the previous chapter, Gongsun Zan was angry with Yuan Shao because of the death of Gongsun Yue, and he sent troops to attack Jizhou (southwest of Linzhang, Hebei).The two sides thus launched a battle for Jizhou.Yuan Shao was afraid of his military power, so he appointed Gongsun Zan's other younger brother, Gongsun Fan, as the prefect of Bohai. As a result, Gongsun Fan attacked Yuan Shao with soldiers from Bohai County after he arrived in the county.For a while, Gongsun Zan's army was in great power.Therefore, Gongsun Zan appointed his general Yan Gang as the governor of Jizhou, Tian Kai as the governor of Qingzhou, and Shan Jing as the governor of Jiaozhou, and changed the county magistrates of Jizhou.The imperial court also had no choice but to use his meritorious service to worship Gongsun Zan as General Fenwu and grant him Marquis Ji.Gongsun Zan became one of the great princes in the world standing side by side with Dong Zhuo for a while!

Just as the princes of the Central Plains were fighting each other and occupying their territory, Liu Yan, who had now mastered Yizhou in the southwest, was also ready to move!

Liu Yan is a descendant of King Lu Gong of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty Yuan Hezhong, and a branch of King Lu Gong moved to Jingling.When Liu Yan was young, he worked in the prefecture and county. He was awarded the position of doctor because of his clan status, but he resigned after the death of his teacher Zhu Tian.In Yangchengshan, Lecture Professor.He was promoted as a virtuous founder and expropriated by Situ Mansion.He successively served as Luoyang order, Jizhou governor, Nanyang prefect, Zongzheng, Taichang and other officials.

In 188 A.D. (the fifth year of Zhongping), Liu Yan witnessed the chaos of Emperor Han Ling's government and the decline of the royal family, so he suggested to the court: "The assassins and prefects bribed and bought officials, exploited the people, and caused people to betray their relatives. Those who are clean and honest in the court should be selected. Members go to serve as the governor of the local state and county, so as to guard and stabilize the world." He himself invited himself to be the shepherd of Jiaozhou, intending to escape the chaos of the world.

At that time, the governor of Yizhou was frugal and gathered great things in Yizhou, and greed was prevalent.Liu Yan, who originally wanted to lead Jiaozhou to avoid disaster, asked the imperial court to be the shepherd of Yizhou because Dong Fu said that Yizhou had the spirit of the emperor.So Liu Yan was appointed as the envoy of the supervising army and the shepherd of Yizhou, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Yangcheng, and ordered him to go to Yizhou to arrest Xi Jian and rectify the administration of officials.Because the road was impassable, Liu Yan was temporarily stationed in the eastern border of Jingzhou.At this time, Que Jian had been killed by the Yellow Turban thief Ma Peng, but Ma Xiang, who had just proclaimed himself emperor a few days ago, was defeated by the army organized by Jia Long in Yizhou.Jia Long then welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou, and the seat of government was set in Mianzhu.After Liu Yan took office, he appointed Jia Long as the school lieutenant and moved him to live in Mianzhu.Liu Yan appeases and shelters those who escaped and rebelled, and tries his best to implement the policy of tolerance and grace, but he has ulterior motives in his heart.

The mother of Zhang Lu, the leader of the "Five Dou Rice Road", was very beautiful, and she knew about ghosts and heresies, and had contacts with Liu Yan's family. Liu Yan appointed Zhang Lu as the governor and Sima, and went to Hanzhong with Zhang Xiu, the other Sima, to attack Hanzhong. Prefect Su Gu.After Zhang Lu gained power in Hanzhong, he killed Zhang Xiu, cut off the traffic, and beheaded the Han envoy, and the Liu and Zhang families became enmity.Liu Yan, on the other hand, cut off contact with the central court on the grounds that the rice thieves were causing chaos and blocking traffic.He further attacked local tyrants internally and consolidated his own power, so Yizhou was in a semi-independent state.When the princes of the world attacked Dong Zhuo, Liu Yan also refused to send troops, and kept the prefecture on its own.Under the lobbying of Situ Zhao Qian, Ren Qi, the prefect of Jianwei, and Jia Long, who had made great achievements in quelling the chaos, rebelled against Liu Yan. Zhao Qian was ordered to lead an army into Yizhou, but because Jia Long and others were killed by Liu Yan, he withdrew his army.

Under the chaos in the Central Plains, tens of thousands of refugees from the Sanfu area entered Yizhou, and Liu Yan collected them all and called them "Dongzhou soldiers".Although this military force caused a lot of troubles among the people, it also became the decisive force for Liu Zhang to quell the civil strife in Zhao Wei after his succession.

In the second year of Chuping (191), Mu Liu Yan of Yizhou (now northeast of Deyang, Sichuan) ordered the governor, Sima Zhang Lu, and Sima Zhang Xiu of other tribes to attack and kill Su Guo, the prefect of Hanzhong (now Hanzhong Middle East, Shaanxi), and cut off the Baoxie Road ( In ancient times, the north-south channel connecting the Qinling Mountains, the first and last seven hundred miles), killed the envoys of the Han court, claimed that the thieves had broken the road, and could not contact the court.He also used excuses to kill more than ten people including Wang Xian and Li Quan from the middle and middle clans of the state, so as to gain prestige.Soon, Ren Qi, the prefect of Qianwei (now Pengshan, Sichuan), and Jia Long, the school lieutenant, attacked Liu Yan and were killed.Liu Yan's momentum became more powerful, and all his sons were in Chang'an at that time. Emperor Xian sent his son Fengche Duwei Liu Zhang back to Yizhou to explain his interests.Liu Yan made him stay in Yizhou and never return, so he separatist Yizhou.

Since Liu Yan's separatist regime, the prestige of the Liu Dynasty has reached its lowest point.Since then, the scholars in the world have also seen that Liu's power in the world is about to run out, and they have all looked for the master in their hearts, hoping to get a share of the future hegemony in the world!

"Wen Ruo, have the fields in our thirteen counties been sown in autumn?!" When the princes of the Central Plains were fighting, Wei Yan, his wife Cai Yan and his concubine Diaochan took over the thirteen counties under his rule. After patrolling one by one, after returning to Fuyang City, Wei Yan asked Xun Yu!

"Don't worry, my lord. Farmers who didn't have seeds in previous years are all very motivated after hearing that my lord distributes seeds for free and rents oxen and plows! My lord, there will definitely be a good harvest next year!" After hearing Wei Yan's words, Xun Yu said Said excitedly!

"Okay! However, Wen Ruo, if you take on another important task, it is to organize the refugees and the idle farmers to repair the water conservancy facilities! Gongda, responsible for receiving the refugees, be sure to boil the clothes of these refugees, and then ask everyone to Pay attention to cleanliness! Feng Xiao, you must always pay attention to the movements and situations of the princes in the world!" Wei Yan said to Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia after listening to Xun Yu's words, and then Guo Jia's news about the Central Plains princes' war !

Just when the princes of the Central Plains were fighting and all parties were accumulating strength, the second year of Chuping (191) passed quietly!
