Chapter 250
Early summer in April 192 AD!
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought decisively at Jieqiao. Gongsun Zan ended in a complete defeat, and the main cavalry, Baima Yi, was destroyed.Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan switched roles. Gongsun Zan retreated to the three counties in northern Hebei and waited for attack, while Yuan Shao took advantage of the victory and pursued, intending to recover all parts of Jizhou in one fell swoop.

Although Gongsun Zan still occupies the three counties in northern Hebei, it is foreseeable that Gongsun Zan will be weak in the battle for Jizhou. He can barely hold on for a while, but Jizhou is also out of luck.

192 A.D. was the year when the feudal lords came together!
A month ago, Liu Bian sent troops to Guanzhong, Dong Zhuo was executed, and Liu Bian conquered the land of Guanzhong in one fell swoop!However, Guanzhong is unstable, but Liu Bian needs several years to recuperate, and for a while, he cannot participate in the battle in the Central Plains and Hebei.

In Hetao of northern Xinjiang, Ran Min, who was born as a slave, rescued the slaves in Shuofang, formed a begging army, and defeated the alien coalition one after another.The Hetao alien races were defeated one after another and went to the northern desert to seek refuge with those powerful steppe tribes.Ran Min started to recover the land of Hetao, rescued women who were enslaved by foreign races, and constantly enriched the strength of the begging army.

In addition to these three major events, there is also Huainan Yuan Shu, who occupies more than 20 soldiers and horses, dominates Huainan, sends troops everywhere, attacks Liu Bian in Jingzhou, sends troops to Yangzhou, and is eyeing Xuzhou.In the Huaihe River Basin, Yuan Shu made it difficult for the people to live.

Then there is Kong Rong in Qingzhou, who used Lin Renzhao and Lin Chong as generals. Last autumn, he defeated the Yellow Turban Army and wiped out the Yellow Turban bandits in Beihai and Donglai counties.Up to now, Kong Rong has [-] troops under his command, and Liu Bian sent Yu Yunwen and Tang Bin to Qingzhou, ordering Yu Yunwen and Tai Shici to find a water port in Donglai to form a [-] navy.

Since the death of Guan Hai and the defeat of the Yellow Turban, Kong Rong's army has been fighting hard in Qingzhou, while heading west to recover other counties in Qingzhou.

As for Liu Yu in Youzhou, it can be said to be the quietest prince, because of the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, both of them ignored Liu Yu.Little did he know that Liu Yu had received Liu Bian's order to mobilize his troops, use Di Qing, and Le Jin as generals to rectify the troops. Later, he was ordered by Pan Fengju to lead [-] troops to vote.Now there are [-] soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and there are enough good generals and advisers, which can be said to be strong and strong.

However, Yanzhou was already ravaged by the Yellow Turbans, and the people were in dire straits. After Qingzhou Beihai soldiers and horses defeated the Yellow Turbans, they redoubled their efforts to regain other counties and counties.

More than [-] young and strong Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou fled to Yanzhou!Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was killed, and Yanzhou fell into chaos in the Yellow Turban for a while.

Yanzhou has eight counties including Chenliu County, Dongjun County, Rencheng, Taishan, Jibei, Jiyang, Dongping, and Shanyang.Yanzhou is deep in the hinterland of the Central Plains, sandwiched under Jizhou and Qingzhou, to the east is Xuzhou, to the south is Huainan Yuzhou and other places.

The Taishan County Government is honored!

On this day, outside Fenggao City, a group of people came to Fenggao Mansion.

"I am Bao Xin, chancellor of Jinbei. If you need to see the prefect Zhao, report it quickly!" Bao Xin, the leader, said to the guard.

"Ah? Your Excellency, please come in quickly!" The guard was startled when he heard that Bao Xin was the prefect of the same level as the lord Zhao Kuangyin!The guards didn't dare to be careless, immediately welcomed several people into the mansion and sat down, poured tea and handed water, and sent someone to invite Zhao Kuangyin.

"Meng Zhuo, Yuncheng, Yuan Wei? Why are you all here?" Zhao Kuangyin brought his younger brother Zhao Guangyi to the hall, but he was surprised when he saw several people.

Meng Zhuo is the name of Chen Liu and Zhang Miao, Yun Cheng is the name of Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun, and Yuan Wei is the name of Bao Xin, the chancellor of Jibei.What is it?Actually let the prefect Xiangguo of the three prefectures of Yanzhou come with him?

Several of them were the prefects of Yanzhou, and they knew each other well. They could be called close friends. After the brothers Zhao Kuangyin sat down, Zhao Kuangyin asked, "The three brothers came together today. What's the matter?"

"Hey, Kong Rong in Qingzhou defeated the Yellow Turban bandits and mobilized his troops. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were terrified of Kong Rong's attack and invaded Yanzhou. They intended to have a good time in Yanzhou! We didn't have enough soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, so the Yellow Turban bandits took advantage of it. The governor Liu Dai lord I was killed, but now it is time for my life and death in Yanzhou!" Bao Xin shook his head and sighed.

"What? Qingzhou Yellow Turban actually entered my Yanzhou? Killed the governor?" Zhao Kuangyin pretended to be shocked. How could Zhao Kuangyin, who was always ambitious, not know about this matter?But all of this is also following Zhao Kuangyin's script.

Zhao Guangyi also pretended to be surprised and said: "If the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans enter Yanzhou, our Taishan County will definitely bear the brunt. If the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans enter my Yanzhou, how can our Taishan County soldiers not know? Brothers, don't lie to me!"

"Alas, those yellow scarves came from Yanzhou, which came from Jibei. I don't have enough troops in Jibei. Now the Yellow Turbans are rampant, and I'm already homeless!" Bao Xin, Minister of Jibei, smiled wryly.

"These days, I have been unwell and have never been in charge of military affairs. When did this happen?" Zhao Kuangyin asked knowingly.

"In just half a month, the Yellow Turban bandits have swept through most of Yanzhou, and we are already homeless after our troops are defeated!" Several people said bitterly.

"What should I do?" Zhao Kuangyin was shocked.

The three of them walked towards the center of the hall, bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Please Governor Zhao to turn the tide and save Yanzhou!"

"Thousands of yellow turban soldiers and horses were defeated by Kong Rong for a while, but they didn't hurt their bones. I can't do anything!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

"Brother Zhao, the Yellow Turbans are raging in Yanzhou now, and only Taishan County is safe and sound. Why? It means that Taishan County has a strong army and horses, and the Yellow Turbans dare not attack! Now only you can turn the tide!" Zhang Miao begged.

"What you said is true. I have [-] soldiers and horses in Taishan County, and I am heavily guarded. No wonder the Yellow Turban Army avoided my Taishan County! It can be [-] against tens of thousands of yellow scarves. This is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg!" Zhao Kuangyin He shook his head again and again.

"Prefect Zhao, we have jointly signed a letter to the emperor, proclaiming you as the governor of Yanzhou. Now we have brought the seal of the governor of Yanzhou. Prefect Zhao will take over the position of governor first, and then we will send troops to destroy the Yellow Turban! The edict will arrive here in a few days. ! Please don’t refuse the eunuch!” The three said in unison.

"How can you make your own claims?" Zhao Kuangyin pretended to be angry and said: "The emperor will send troops to wipe out the Yellow Turbans. How can you push me out? If the emperor thinks that I have a different heart, what should I do?"

These three people are all of Confucian background, loyal and honest people, Zhao Kuangyin usually hides it too well, loves the people like a son, and has a strong army and horses, and his reputation is spread far and wide. When you look around Yanzhou, these people can only think of Zhao Kuangyin .

"Impossible, Yuan Shao in Jizhou, Kong Rong in Qingzhou, Yuan Shu in Huainan, you all can invite them to come and suppress the enemy! How can I, an incompetent person, take on such a big task?"

"Yuan Shao fought Gongsun Zan, and he had no time to withdraw. Qingzhou had just stabilized, and Kong Rong was still busy conquest of other places. Yuan Shu in Huainan caused complaints in Huainan. If he came to Yanzhou, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people?" Zhang Miao shook his head. .

"Your Majesty is loyal, and we all speak from the bottom of our hearts. Today, the son is far away in Guanzhong, and he is unable to send troops. You are the only one who has the ability to deal with the Yellow Turbans! For the sake of the people of Yanzhou, please take the governor of Yanzhou. !" The three of them bowed down and begged in unison, as if they had made a deal.
