Chapter 251 The Rise of Zhao Da
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban was defeated by Kong Rong, but they could not work together to fight against it. Now Kong Rong is mobilizing his troops and intends to recover other counties westward.So the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army moved to Yanzhou.

The strength of Yanzhou was relatively weak. There were Zhao Kuangyin, the prefect of Taishan County, Liu Dai, the governor of Taishan County, Bao Xin, the governor of Jibei, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, and Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun County.It's just that except for Zhao Kuangyin's strong army in Taishan County, the other prefects are all mediocre people. The Yellow Turban Army swept across Yanzhou, the governor Liu Dai was killed, and the Yellow Turban Army occupied various government offices and plundered money.

Bao Xin and others, who escaped by chance, thought of Zhao Kuangyin, a man of virtuousness spread far and wide, with [-] soldiers under his command, which can be described as a strong army, and they could only ask him to come out and preside over the overall situation of Yanzhou.

Of course they also thought about others, such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, and Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang in Yanzhou, was also Yuan Shao's clan brother.It's just that there is a good saying, the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders, if you invite them to Yanzhou, wouldn't you send Yanzhou out?Zhao Kuangyin is at least a native of Yanzhou. He has a good relationship with us and is well-known.

Fame, talent, soldiers and horses are enough!Even if he takes charge of Yanzhou at that time, he will definitely let us go back to be the prefect, right?At least you won't treat me badly!If an outsider like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were allowed to come, his status might be lost!

All three of them had their own little calculations. They were invaded by the Yellow Turban Army and lost their territory. The court blamed them. Hehe, the dead Liu Dai happened to be in the way, and now they pushed Zhao Kuangyin out.Clearing up the Yellow Turbans is naturally a good thing. We and others can keep their status. If we lose, Zhao Kuangyin can stand up.

So the three of them, without telling Shanyang prefect Yuan Yi, came together and asked Zhao Kuangyin to send troops to help.Yuan Yi used this manpower to advise his elder brother Yuan Shao to send troops to Yanzhou, but the three of them naturally would not tell him their actions.

Zhao Kuangyin had always been ambitious and had a good relationship with Cao Bin, so that Cao Bin persuaded his father Cao Song to let the Cao family agree with him.In the past few years, Zhao Kuangyin seems to have only participated in the war against Dong Zhuo initiated by Liu Bian, but in fact, he recruited troops and horses in Taishan County, recharged his energy, developed people's livelihood, and recruited talents everywhere.

Now under Zhao Kuangyin's command, there are several civil servants and generals, namely his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, Xu Chu, Cao Bin, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Wen Youxi Zhicai, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Mao Jie, Man Chong and others.

The Yellow Turban Army raided Yanzhou, which was also fueled by Zhao Kuangyin. Seeing the success of the incident, Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed, but his superficial skills were flawless: "I, Zhao Kuangyin, have little talent and little knowledge. You should still seek wise men!"

"Brother Zhao, to tell you the truth, we have lost our territory and should be punished by death. Please save us! If you can wipe out the yellow scarf bandits, we will be rewarded for your recommendation! Otherwise, if the Son of Heaven blames him, he will lose his official title!" Bao Xin bowed down and begged.

Zhao Kuangyin sneered in his heart, and finally told the truth. He was worried that if you brought outsiders into Yanzhou, your status would not be guaranteed, so you pushed me out. If you can make meritorious service, you are still the prefect.It's really budget-friendly.

Zhao Guangyi on one side saw that these two or three people were almost forced, and he vomited the truth, and said: "Brother, the three prefects and I are best friends, why don't you help them! Now Yanzhou The yellow turbans are raging, and the people are in dire straits, big brother can't sit idly by!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhao, for the sake of the people of Yanzhou, please send troops to conquer the Yellow Turbans!" The three begged.

"My headquarters has [-] soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Zhao Kuangyin frowned, but he turned his attention to the soldiers and horses of the three men.

"I still have three thousand soldiers under my command!"

"I have five thousand soldiers and horses under my command!"

"I also have three thousand soldiers!"

"We have more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in one. I would like to hand over to Brother Zhao to command. As long as the Yellow Turbans can be wiped out, I will listen to Brother Zhao's driving!" The three said in unison, but it was the Yellow Turbans who came to invade. Unable to resist, he fled with the elite of the headquarters, so there are still many soldiers and horses.

Zhao Kuangyin walked down the hall, helped the three of them up and said, "Since this is the case, I will follow you and temporarily assume the post of Governor of Yanzhou, and lead troops to resist the Yellow Turbans! But if His Majesty blames them in the future..."

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, we will recommend you together. The situation in Yanzhou is critical now, and His Majesty will not blame you. If Brother Zhao can defeat the Yellow Turban, the position of governor will definitely be justified!" Zhang Miao said with a smile, stroking his beard.

Bao Xin on the side took a beautifully decorated wooden box from the attendant, bowed and said: "Please also ask Taishou Zhao to receive the seal from the governor, and lead us to resist the Yellow Turban bandits!"

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flashed a trace of caution, a trace of excitement, and a little expectation. He took the wooden box with both hands, returned to the main seat, and opened the wooden box. Inside was the seal granted by the governor. , Majestic and domineering.

"I've seen Lord Inspector!" Zhang Miao and others bowed in salute, and Zhao Guangyi followed, his face full of excitement.

"The carriages and horses are exhausted, so let's go down to rest first, and I will send troops to conquer the Yellow Turbans in a few days!" Zhao Kuangyin said when he saw the tired expressions of several people.

After several people left, Zhao Guangyi excitedly said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Congratulations, brother, now you have won the position of governor of Yanzhou, and finally become a prince!"

"One side of the princes is still far away!" Zhao Kuangyin said with a light smile: "Not to mention the terrain of Yanzhou, deep in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is difficult for Yuan Shu to occupy Huainan, and Yuan Shao to occupy Jizhou in the north! It is basically surrounded by enemies!"

"Brother, Yuan Shu's anger and grievances in Huainan are nothing more than dead bones in the tomb! And Tao Qian from Xuzhou and Kong Rong from Qingzhou are mediocre people, how can they compare with you? In three to five years, you will occupy the Central Plains." , I won’t be afraid of Yuan Shao and his ilk then!” Zhao Guangyi explained.

"Tao Qian is okay, but this Kong Rong is really a little strange. With his ability, how could he defeat the Yellow Turbans? He could even defeat the Yellow Turbans and flee to Yanzhou?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned, wondering.

"I heard that under Tao Qian's command, the first battle general was named Lin Chong. He relied on Lin Chong's formation to behead Guan Hai, the leader of the Yellow Turban, which led to the defeat of the Yellow Turban. It seems that another Tai Shici defected to him later, probably. Rely on these two to conquer the Yellow Turbans!" Zhao Guangyi guessed, and then he said nonchalantly, "However, there is nothing to be afraid of these two brave men who are like ordinary men. When we attack Qingzhou in the future, I will use my tactics to capture them!"

"I always feel that it's not that simple!" Zhao Kuangyin shook his head to let go of the doubts in his heart, and said with a smile: "Now there are tens of thousands of young and strong yellow scarves in Yanzhou. , the emperor will blame it!"

"Hurry up and gather a few military advisers and generals to discuss how to defeat the Yellow Turban!" Zhao Kuangyin ordered.
