Chapter 690 Qingzhou Rebellion
In May of the first year of Jian'an, Liu Bei went out of Jinyang, from Jingxing to Zhongshan Yuanshi. The Yuan-Liu war began. The two sides fought along Taihang Mountain. The battle of the battle against Dong attracted the attention of the world.

However, the two sides have their own offensive and defensive positions, which makes this battle a lot sad.

In the middle of May, the governor of Dongjun, Zang Dao, called out to the world. In the name of Yuan Tan, the governor of Qingzhou, who did not care about the power of the people and killed good men and pretended to be meritorious, he ordered Gao Shun to be the vanguard and led tens of thousands of troops into Qingzhou.

Liu Xun, a noble family in Luoyin, Qingzhou, raised his flag to respond. Pingyuan and other people were unbearable to be harassed by Yuan's army.

Zang Hongbing won Pingyuan, Jinan, Le'an, and Qi counties without bloodshed.

Yuan Tan was furious. While asking Yuan Shao for help, he mobilized his army to fight against Liu Xun in Luoyin. Zang Hong hurriedly sent people to rescue him.

The two sides fought in the north of Luoshui. Hao Zhao, a general of the Jin army, defeated Lu Xiang, a general of Yuan Tan, and beheaded him.

Yuan Tan was shocked when he heard this, and then he personally led the army to fight against Zang Hong.

In order to avenge his brother, Lu Kuang, the forward general, went out to invite Gao Shun to fight, but was beheaded by Gao Shun, and his troops were defeated. Then Gao Shun directly took Yuan Tan's headquarters, and his troops were defeated. Tan Lianye fled back to Pingyuan, and stayed in Pingyuan to his death.

Zang Hong ordered Chen Rongdu Hao Zhao and others to take the prefectures of Jinan and Le'an, and all the counties surrendered one after another, but Guan Tong, the prefect of Donglai, did not surrender and led his army to attack Le'an.

Guan Tong came from the sea, and the counties in Le'an were negligent in guarding against it. As a result, Guan Tong took advantage of it, and Le'an fell into the hands of Guan Tong, and Qingzhou Zhizhong Wang Xiu was in Beihai to supervise the grain, leading the Yellow Turbans to attack Beihai, and Beihai was restored. It is owned by Yuan Tan.

After Guantong took Le'an, he immediately sent troops to surround Linzi, preparing to capture this important city.

Guan Tong is a pirate, who was named the governor of Donglai by Yuan Tanzhao'an. Guan Tong has always plundered the counties near the sea in Qingzhou, and the people of Qingzhou suffered greatly from it.

Linzi ordered Wang Bao to guard the city while asking for help from the Jin army.

Hao Zhao then marched to the city of Linzi, Guan Tong fought with him, and was defeated by Hao Zhao. Guan Tong retreated to several counties in Linhai, Le'an overnight, and most of Le'an returned to Liu Bei's army.

At the beginning of June, Wang Xiu's army set out from Beihai to rescue Guantong. It was not until Pingshou that Guantong was defeated and had returned to Shouguang.

Hao Zhao was short of troops, so he had to ask Zang Hong for help, and the two sides were deadlocked in the Linzi area.

Yuan Shao learned that Qingzhou was in danger after receiving Yuan Tan's request for help. He regretted not listening to Tian Feng's plan, and had no face to ask Tian Feng, so he asked Guo Tu to ask him.

Guo Tu didn't know why Zang Hong had such great appeal. He first admitted his mistake, and then asked the Bohai garrison to rescue him.

Zang Hong's team was originally a partial army, and Liu Bei didn't expect Zang Hong to have such a great influence. He got more than half of Qingzhou just by spreading the call, so he hurriedly ordered Bao Chao from Henan to replace Xu Rong, and Xu Rong led the army into Dongjun County for support. Zang Hong also ordered Xu Huang to supervise Zhang Xiu and Yan Xing to enter Qingzhou.

Yuan Tan got the Yuan army from Bohai Sea and took the lead in attacking Zang Hong's camp outside the city. Zang Hong couldn't hold out, but his strength was insufficient, so he had to retreat across the Yellow River and stationed troops in Gaotang.

Yuan Tan then led his troops to attack Gaotang, and the warlord stormed Gaotang.

Since Xu Rong entered Dongjun, he raised his troops in the starry night. Instead of saving Gaotang, he pretended to be Yuan Jun and went straight to Pingyuan.

As soon as the plain fell, Yuan Tan was shocked and hurriedly withdrew his troops back to defend the plain.

When crossing the Yellow River, he was attacked by Gao Shun's camp. Yuan Tan's army was defeated, and Yuan Tan abandoned his army again and fled.

Yuan Tan fled across the Yellow River and gathered the defeated soldiers. Tens of thousands of troops crossed the Yellow River, only a few thousand returned.

As a result, Xu Rong abandoned the plain and went straight to the counties of Ande and Xipingchang. The counties were unable to resist Xu Rong due to the deployment of troops. As a result, they fell one by one.

The gentry under Yuan Tan's command dispersed after hearing the rumors, and when reinforcements from the Ganling kingdoms arrived, Yuan Tan was relieved, but unfortunately, he was unable to attack.

Zang Hong left Xu Rong to harass Yuan's army in the plains, and personally supervised the army to go south to join Hao Zhao in Linzi, and with Hao Zhao's army to benefit the country, Gao Shun attacked Juxian.

Lu Bu received Liu Bei's request for help, so he sent Cao Bao as a general and Chen Gong as a military division to attack Pingchang and Gaomi counties.

Wang Xiuwen hurriedly led the main force to go south. As a result, Gao Shun pulled out Ju County first, and Wang Xiu's troops collapsed. Guan Tong heard that he led his army to abandon Yiguo and return to Shouguang. From Shouguang, he returned to Donglai by sea boat.

Immediately Hao Zhao joined Gao Shun, and the two conquered Pingshou, Yingling, and Zhu Xu successively, and defeated Wang Xiu's remnant troops at Fuzheng Mountain.

Wang Xiu disappeared, Gao Shun and Wei Xu joined forces in Chunyu, and then joined forces to take the remaining counties in Beihai. Guan Tong fled to the sea after seeing this.

So far, except for the city of Pingyuan, Qingzhou has been owned by Liu Bei.

Zang Hong pacified Qingzhou, and there was another episode. The Taishan thief Zang Ba saw Liu Bei and Lu Bu joining forces, so he surrendered to Cao Cao under Lu Fan's persuasion.

Lu Bu was furious, and the two sides faced off again. Yuan Shu also regrouped under the temptation of Liu Bei's armor, and ordered Zhang Xun to lead his troops out of Runan to threaten Chen Guo.

Bao Chao also bluffed on the front line of Suanzao, and Yu Ban's warlords entered Yingchuan, threatening to take Yanzhou.

Cao Cao was under the siege of Liu Bei and his allied forces. Cao Cao was too busy to take care of himself and turned a blind eye to Yuan Shao's plea for help.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to send envoys to and from Jingzhou, Jiangdong, Bashu, and Xiliang.

Sun Ce was busy quelling Yan Baihu and the Nanyue rebellion, and he didn't care about the battle in the Central Plains, let alone the battle in Hebei, which was farther away.

Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou had the heart, he had no courage, especially Cai Mao and other generals were extremely unwilling to fight the Jin army.

It was Yizhou Yiwang Gaoding, Yongkai, Zhu Bao, etc. who were bewitched by Yuan envoys to launch a rebellion.

The Jin army's power in Yizhou was originally weak, but Yuan Jun's fortune was instigated, and they immediately raised their flags to rebel. Wang Shang, the prefect of Yizhou, immediately sent troops to conquer.

In Liangzhou, Li Jue and Guo Si also led an army to attack Xiping. Ju Yan strictly guarded Xiping and did not leave.

Zhong Yao, governor of Xiliang, immediately sent generals Han De and Yang Qiu to lead his troops to rescue, but they were defeated by Li Jue. Zhi Yuanduo and other Hu people rebelled immediately after seeing this.

The counties of Xiliang are unstable.

When Liu Bei got the news, the counties in Hexi were in chaos, Dunhuang Huanghua rebelled, and the governor of the Western Regions, Shi Guanqiu Xing, was expelled by the countries of the Western Regions and died in the rebellion.

Liu Bei immediately raised his son Guanqiu Jian in the mansion, and made Ma Teng the general of Zhengxi, Marquis of Kui Li, the first governor of the Western Regions, and Zhang Ji as the long history, Yang Qiu, and Han De as the generals, and Ju Yan. He was appointed as the prefect of Xiping, Jiang Shi was the general who sought captives, after besieging Li Jue and Guo Si, he attacked the counties in Hexi, and Zhang Ji was appointed as the general of Zhenxi.

After Li Jue and Guo Si heard the news, they immediately fled along the Yellow River back to the West Sea, but they were ambushed by Ju Yan, and his army was defeated.

When Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated, all the Hus were attacked by the soldiers of the counties. With Ma Teng's prestige, the rebellion in the Hexi counties was put down, Zhang Ji took charge of Xiliang, and Ma Teng attacked the Western Regions.
