The chaos in Jizhou continues, and Gongsun Zan enters the scene with a small calculation, making the originally chaotic situation even more complicated and confusing.

Han Fu was defeated in the first battle and panicked, which had a great impact on him.

In July of the second year of Chuping (191), Yuan Shao appointed Cao Cao as the prefect of Dongjun to govern Wuyang in the east. Qiao Mao, the former prefect of Dongjun, was now the magistrate of Xin County in the north. Dongjun became an ownerless land. Yuan Shao did not want to miss

At the same time, Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack the Qinghe Kingdom in the south.

Yuan Shao sent senior officials, Xun Chen, Guo Tu, Zhang Jingming and others to Yecheng without losing the opportunity to persuade Han Fu.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, and he can be said to have come on behalf of Yuan Shao. Xun Chen is from the Xun family in Yingchuan, and Han Fu is from the Han family in Yingchuan. The two are good friends, and Guo Tu and Zhang Jingming are assistants.

As the representative of the Yingchuan noble clan, Han Fu's mind was buzzing when he saw Xun Chen coming with the senior officials. He never thought that the Yingchuan noble clan would give up on him.

With Gongsun Zan on the outside and Qu Yi and Yuan Shao on the inside, the Yingchuan nobles who supported him also betrayed him. Han Fu knew that he had no chance.

Xun Chen asked: "How do you compare to Yuan Shaolai in terms of generosity and kindness, tolerance of all kinds of people, and making people in the world surrender?"

Han Fu said: "I am not as good as him."

Xun Chen asked again: "In the face of danger, you can unexpectedly win, and your resourcefulness and courage are far beyond ordinary people. How do you compare with Yuan Shaolai in terms of war?"

Han Fu said: "I am not as good as him."

Xun Chen asked again: "How do you compare to Yuan Shaolai, who has extended his kindness to every family in the world from generation to generation?"

Han Fu replied: "I am not as good as him."

Xun Chen asked three questions, and Han Fu answered three times. He was the first to fool himself.

Xun Chen said: "General, you are in a situation where you are inferior to Yuan Shao in three aspects, but you have been above Yuan Shao for a long time. Yuan Shao is a contemporary hero and will definitely not be willing to be inferior to you. Moreover, the soldiers led by Gongsun Zan are irresistible. Jizhou is an important town in the world. If the two armies join forces to attack and join forces at the city gate, Jizhou's danger will come immediately. Yuan Shao is the general's old friend and his ally. The current solution is to give up the entire Jizhou to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao will definitely be against him. You are so grateful that Gongsun Zan will no longer be able to quarrel with you. In this way, the general will have the reputation of giving in to the worthy, and his own status will be more stable than Mount Tai. I hope you will not have any doubts."

Han Fu was timid in nature, so he agreed to Xun Chen's plan after suffering in his heart. Because of this, Xun Chen successfully joined the Yuan family's camp in Runan.

Chief Shi Geng Wu, Biejia Min Chun, and Zhizhong Li Li all tried to persuade him: "Although Jizhou is humble, it has a million soldiers and ten years of grain support. Yuan Shao is alone and has no army. He relies on me to breathe, just like a baby on the palm of his hand. If she is breastfeeding, she can be starved to death immediately. Why do you want to use the state to kill her?"

Geng Wu, Min Chun, and Li Li were all representatives of Jizhou's gentry and powerful people. They wanted to support Han Fu as the representative of Jizhou instead of Yuan Shao.

The reasons are very simple. Firstly, Han Fu has a weak character and can listen to what he says. Secondly, although Han Fu comes from Yingchuan, he does not have much conflict with the King of Hejian. In the future, when the King of Hejian goes south, Han Fu can avoid big troubles. A bloody incident on a large scale, if the Yuan family of Runan were replaced as the master of Jizhou.
As we all know, the King of Hejian has a huge conflict with the Yuan family of Runan. If it were Yuan Shao, then the Jizhou nobles and powerful people represented by him would definitely be bloodbathed by the King of Hejian. That man who killed people would not care about your family. How about it? Yuan Shao can run away. Their ancestral foundation is here. Is it unfair to be Yuan Shao's scapegoat? !Han Fu had been brainwashed by Xun Chen at this moment, so he could not listen to these words. He just gave his final decision: "I am an old official of the Yuan family, and his talent is not as good as the original one. To give up due to virtue is what the ancients valued, and all the kings are alone." What's wrong with you?"

(Translation: I want to die, don’t stop me, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable.)
Prior to this, Han Fu's governors Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan led 1 soldiers who could shoot hard bows and were stationed near Yuan Shao. Knowing this situation, they led more than [-] people to march through Yuan Shao's camp overnight and then returned to Yecheng. .

Zhao Fu and others said to Han Fu: "Yuan Benchu's army has no food and is scattered. It is not enough to be an enemy of our army. We request to personally lead the troops to resist him. Within ten days, Yuan's army will definitely fall apart. General Ming will be responsible for opening and closing." Rest easy, there is nothing to worry about!”

Han Fu refused, and then gave up his official position, moved out of his official residence and lived in the former residence of Zhao Zhong, the regular servant, and sent his son to give Yuan Shao a seal and ribbon to give up his position.

Yuan Shao captured Jizhou without any bloodshed, took charge of Jizhou as a herdsman, and inherited everything from Han Fu's men.

Han Fu was a fool for one thing, but when he made his decision, one of the important reasons was: My family has been disciples of the Yuan family for generations.

This is the power of the Four Dynasties and the Three Gongs in the late Han Dynasty. After a hundred years of management, it finally came to fruition, and this was just the tip of the iceberg of the Yuan family's heritage.

Fortunately, Liu Han took action early and used ruthless methods. The network that Yuan had been operating in Bingzhou and Youzhou for several years was torn to shreds by Liu Han. It was difficult for Yuan Shao to rise to the top.

However, just a few days after Yuan Shao became Jizhou Shepherd, he received several bad news one after another.

The first bad news is that after Gongsun Zan captured the Qinghe Kingdom, he stayed there. Jizhou is only such a big place. Although Yuan Shao is the shepherd of Jizhou, the only places he actually controls are Wei County, Julu, Anping Kingdom, and Qinghe Kingdom. , Zhao State, there is no action yet, Qinghe State is lost.

The second bad news is that after taking over Jizhou, Han Fu was appointed as Fenwei General, but Han Fu had neither soldiers nor officials.

Yuan Shao appointed Zhu Han from Hanoi as the capital official.Zhu Han had been slighted by Han Fu and was resentful. Now he wanted to cater to Yuan Shao's wishes, so he sent troops without authorization to surround Han Fu's house and boarded the house with swords drawn.Han Fu fled upstairs. Zhu Han caught Han Fu's eldest son and broke his feet.Yuan Shao immediately arrested Zhu Han and executed him.

Han Fu was frightened and asked Yuan Shao to let him leave. Yuan Shao agreed, so Han Fu went to seek refuge with Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County.Later, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to see Zhang Miao. When discussing secrets, the envoy whispered in Zhang Miao's ear.Han Fu was present at the time and thought he was being plotted against.After a while, he got up, walked into the toilet, and committed suicide with the book knife he used to scrape the slips.

Yuan Shao had yellow mud falling off his crotch. No matter how he explained it, it made no sense. It immediately attracted a backlash from the nobles and powerful men in Jizhou.

How come Han Fu has been in Jizhou for so many years, and there are people with lofty ideals and benevolence who are willing to die for him. Han Fu committed suicide. Geng Wu heard that of course he wanted to avenge Han Fu, and plotted to assassinate Yuan Shao. In the end, the matter was exposed and he was killed.

Han Fu, the judge of Wei County, and Qu Yi, a native of Xiping, Liangzhou, defected to Yuan Shao one after another. Yuan Shao sucked a lot of blood after the tragic defeat in Luoyang.

As the heir to the Yuan family's legacy, Yuan Shao naturally won the support of the Yingchuan scholar group, such as Guo Tu of the Guo family in Yangdi, Xun Chen of the Xun family of Yingyin, and the two brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi of the Xin family of Yangzhai.
But the third bad news also came, and Yuan Shu openly broke up with Yuan Shao. (End of chapter)
