Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 55 The Great Chaos in the North, Wang Huan Gives Up

Yuan Shao, who is far away in Jizhou, is actually not having such an easy life now.

Under the stratagem of his subordinate counselor Feng Ji and others, Gongsun Zan was brought together,
Let Gongsun Zan attack Jizhou together to put pressure on Han Fu.

Han Fu didn't have any great skills, so he was quickly defeated.

After Han Fu was defeated, Yuan Shao sent someone to lobby Han Fu, intending to let him see the situation clearly and give up Jizhou.

Yuan Shao finally tricked Han Fu and Gongsun Zan with a trick of killing two birds with one stone, and became the new lord of Jizhou.

Gongsun Zan, who can be regarded as one of the birds by Yuan Shao,

But he is not the kind of bully Han Fu.

Gongsun Zan, who was happily waiting for Yuan Shao to carve up the territory of Jizhou together,
Seeing that Yuan Shao didn't intend to divide the spoils after he won Jizhou,
So he sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to Jizhou to negotiate with Yuan Shao and demand that Jizhou be divided equally.

However, how could Yuan Shao spit out the fat he ate in his stomach?

In the end Gongsun Yue was only sent away by Yuan Shao saying: "You have to go back and invite your elder brother to discuss this matter."

Gongsun Yue had no choice but to turn around,
But when he was halfway there,
But suddenly he was attacked by a group of people claiming to be generals of Dong Zhuo's family.

This group of "Dong Zhuo's generals" shot a volley after seeing Gongsun Yue.
Gongsun Yue was caught off guard and was finally shot to death by random arrows.

However, some of Gongsun Yue's subordinates managed to escape with their lives, and reported Gongsun Zan's death in the attack.

Will there be Dong Zhuo's family generals in Jizhou?Fortunately, Undead happened to know Gongsun Yue?
Who believes?

Anyway, Gongsun Zan didn't believe it.

After hearing that his brother had been attacked and killed,
Gongsun Zan was so angry that he trembled all over, he gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Yuan Shaozhuzi! Not only did he trick me into attacking Han Fu, he took the opportunity to occupy Jizhou by himself, and even killed my younger brother under the guise of Dong Zhuo's family general! It's tolerable!"

Yuan Shao's plan to kill two birds with one stone has to be said to be very beautiful.

But for Gongsun Zan who was played like a bird,
Yuan Shao's behavior can be said to be extremely harmful and insulting to him.

Gongsun Zan had just defeated the Xuzhou Yellow Turbans and suppressed the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans,

The army is strong and the reputation is great,
How could Gongsun Zan, who was already very face-saving, bear this tone?

Whether it's for my brother or for face,
Without hesitation, Gongsun Zan mobilized all the troops under his command and brazenly launched an attack on Yuan Shao who had newly acquired Jizhou!
The princes have gradually torn off their hypocritical masks,

He began to show his ferocious fangs to the former allies who demanded Dong.

The princes who were allied in the past,

some died,

Some have been oppressed,

Most of them turned against each other and attacked each other.

But Cao Cao didn't catch the eyes of the princes at all at the moment,

In the eyes of the princes,
He, Cao Cao, is nothing more than a small local force.

The first battle after coming to Dongjun,
Zhao Yun restrained him from the front, while Cao Cao made a surprise attack from behind.
Bai Rao and his [-] Yellow Turban Army were carelessly killed by Cao Jun in one battle, and Bai Rao himself became the ghost of Zhao Yun's gun.

In this battle, Cao Cao not only surrendered nearly [-] soldiers, but also seized the food and goods that the Yellow Turban Army had looted along the way.

By the time the battlefield was cleaned up, it was already dawn.

Under the city of Puyang, the governor of Dongjun,

Wang Gong personally led the officials, big and small, to welcome the triumphant Cao Jun outside the city gate.

Since the Heishan Yellow Turbans broke through Weijun with hundreds of thousands and attacked Dongjun,

Prefect Wang Gong, and a large number of officials under him, did not get a good night's sleep again.

Now Cao Cao's army defeated the vanguard of the Yellow Turbans as soon as they arrived,

This made Wang Gong and others feel at ease from the bottom of their hearts.

See Cao Cao come back,
Wang Gong took a step forward, cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Congratulations, Mr. Cao, for flying the flag!"

Seeing Cao Cao get off his horse, he hurried to Wang Gong and said:
"Thank you, my lord!
In this battle, our army defeated more than [-] Yellow Turbans,
General Zhao Yun beheaded Bai Rao, the three-headed leader of the yellow scarf,
Kill four thousand enemies and capture two thousand enemies! "

"Ah! Bai Rao was killed!"

"Cao Gong used his soldiers like a god, and he killed the leader of the Yellow Turban in the first battle!"

"As expected of breaking the tiger's prison and expelling Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, I admire you!"

Hearing that Cao Cao killed Bai Rao and defeated the Yellow Turban Pioneer,
The big and small officials of Dongjun City were all rejoicing, and they all clapped rainbow farts at Cao Cao.

But the smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared quickly.
He raised his hands and made a gesture of pressing down, and all the people present shut their mouths knowingly when they saw this.

Just listen to Cao Cao say:

"Everyone, although the Yellow Turban Pioneer was defeated by Cao,
But the main force of the Yellow Turbans still has hundreds of thousands of giants,

The situation is still critical, and I hope you will continue to support Cao and work together to drive the Yellow Turbans out of Dongjun."

What Cao Cao said undoubtedly meant that the officials of Chaodong County poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and it was the kind with ice balls, which was bitingly cold.
Of course Wang Gong also knew about the situation of the Yellow Turban,

There was a struggling look on his face,

It seemed that it took a lot of courage to make the final decision.

Seeing Wang Gong's expression changed, Cao Cao asked concerned: "Your Majesty, are you feeling ill?"

When Wang Gong heard this, he took advantage of the situation and said to Cao Cao:
"Duke Cao is really insightful.

Recently, Wang was worried because of the Yellow Turban invasion and massacre of common people.

You don't know,

Recently, I can’t eat well, I can’t sleep at night, and I’m afraid that my life won’t be long.”

"Ah! Is it so serious?" Cao Cao held Wang Gong's arms with concern, and asked, "Then what can Cao do for the prince?"

Zhao Yun was dumbfounded as he watched Cao Cao try his best to cooperate with Wang Gong's performance, and thought to himself, "Mr. Cao, your acting is really fake!"

Although Wang Gong was very reluctant in his heart,

But prosperity, wealth, beauty and power are naturally not as important as one's own wealth and life.

So Wang Gong no longer hesitated, he gently broke free from Cao Cao's hands, took a step back, bowed to the bottom and said:

"Wang Gong is incompetent and unable to resist the invasion of the Yellow Turban, causing the bandits to rampage, the lives of the people are devastated, and the people are mourning."

Maybe it was really thinking of the miserable situation of the people,

Wang Gong's eyes were filled with tears unconsciously, and his voice also became sobbing.
"For the people of Dongjun, for the great Han world, for the common people of Liming,
Please also Mr. Cao,

Able to succeed Wang as the prefect of Dongjun County! "

Although Cao Cao had a premonition, when Wang Gong said clearly that he would take over the prefect, he felt that happiness came too suddenly.
Cao Cao looked up,

Seeing that the expressions of Wang Gong and the officials behind him really don't seem to be fake, they even look a little eager,

Although Cao Cao wanted to agree immediately,

But the tacit understanding of three persuasions and three refusals still has to be a complete set.

Wang Gong persuaded Cao Cao twice,

They were all rejected by Cao Cao because he couldn't take advantage of others' dangers.
When Wang Gong and the Dongjun officials persuaded Cao Cao to replace the Dongjun prefect for the third time,
Only then did Cao Cao "reluctantly" accept the post of Dongjun prefect.

As for Wang Gong, he was under Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, and he returned to Yanzhou after resigning from office.
