The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 322 Cao Cao governs Yanzhou

"Your Majesty... passed away!"

The first person to get the news was Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou.

If this news was sent by Liu Han, Liu Biao would definitely pour the dirty water that killed His Majesty on Liu Han, but the senders of this news were Yang Biao, Ma Rixi, Zhao Wen and other DPRK ministers, who explained in detail what happened. , those who killed the emperor were Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang rebels, while Liu Han went to Chang'an to quell the rebellion.

Liu Biao naturally would not doubt these three people. Their status among scholars was much higher than his own.

The emperor passed away, who is the new emperor?

Liu Biao didn't pay attention for the time being, because no matter who it was, it wouldn't be him.

Moreover, whoever becomes the emperor must be recognized by Liu Han, and Liu Han is not even thirty years old...

Liu Biao understood clearly: "Yidu (characterized by Kuai Yue), let's not care about Chang'an for the time being, what should we do now?"

As a member of the Kuai family of Nanjun, Liu Biao was able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and the Kuai family made great efforts.

Kuai Yue: "Lu Bu is fierce and invincible, so he must be gentle."

Just as Yuan Shu, the jackal, was driven away, Lu Bu, the evil tiger, came.

Lu Bu escaped from Wuguan and came towards Nanyang to kill.

Liu Biao's rule was based on the shares of many Jingzhou gentry and wealthy families. There were a large number of private tribes in the armed forces. Every time they resisted invasion, they defended their own territory, so they screamed and conquered every time they went out to expand territory. None of the money belongs to him, so his enthusiasm is never high, which leads to Liu Biao being too self-sufficient and not enterprising enough.

Lu Bu is not Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is timid towards the local nobles, but Lu Bu is not.

Although the Jingzhou soldiers could defeat Yuan Shu, they could not compare with the battle-hardened veterans in Lu Bu's hands. Moreover, on the large plain of Nanyang, Lu Bu's cavalry had enough room to perform.

As expected, Liu Biao compromised, compromised with Lu Bu, compromised with the powerful local gentry in Jingzhou, and gave up Nanyang again.

Liu Biao's idea is very simple. I will give you a wealthy place, and you will serve as my northern barrier to block Liu Han and Yuan Shu for me.

Of course Lu Bu knew what Liu Biao was thinking, but he had no choice. He used to live under someone else's roof, killed Ding Yuan, and killed Dong Zhuo. Who would dare to make him his subordinate now?

Since you have no choice, start your own business and be the master!

Therefore, Lu Bu temporarily gained a foothold in Nanyang.

As for the emperor, for Lu Bu, it didn't matter whether he lived or died.

After integrating Yanzhou, Cao Cao couldn't wait to move from Dongwuyang to Shanyang County, and the state governed Changyi.

The reason is very simple. One is to have better control over Yanzhou, and the other is to stay away from Jizhou, where there is the difficult Xu Rong. Now I can only say that I have just some chips to get back on the table.

Helping Yuan Shao capture Yuzhou, Cao Cao did not expect that capturing Yuzhou would be so easy. It could only be attributed to the fact that the Yuan family had too deep roots in Runan and Yuan Shao was favored by everyone.

Now, Yuan Shao occupies Runan, Yingchuan, Liangguo, and Chenguo. Cao Cao helped Yuan Shao get Peiguo, his hometown Qiao County.

At this moment, I am just beginning to become a member of the team.

Civil servants: Hu Zhao (already introduced, Sima Yi's teacher), Xun Yu, Xun You (the first plotter), Zhao Yan (gold medal political commissar and governor), Zao Zhi (Cao Wei Yuan Longping, the initiator of the farming system). (Yingchuan gentry) Liang Mao, Mao Jie, Xue Ti, Gao Tanglong, Lu Qian, Wang Bi. (Yanzhou gentry)

Military generals: Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Han Hao, Shi Huan, Li Tong, Li Dian.

Original stock allies and confidants: Bao Xin, Wei Kai.

Cao Cao recruited tens of thousands of Qingzhou people, greatly increasing his combat effectiveness.

Then there are new problems. With so many people, there are so many mouths to eat. The problem of prisoners of war and their families has always been a big problem. There is no way to feed them, to control them, and no place to digest them.

This is thanks to the fact that they are Yellow Turbans, because the Yellow Turban Army has a characteristic, which is "fighting and plowing at the same time", that is, fighting and plowing the fields at the same time.

This was also the prototype of the farming system proposed by Zao Zhi, but it was the bandit version of the farming system. Because the Yellow Turbans killed all the land owners, most of Yanzhou became ownerless land, and Cao Cao got a big advantage.

Now, Cao Cao understood how far-sighted the policies Liu Han had formulated were, and he became the lord. Cao Cao admired Liu Han even more.

The arrival of Xun Yu not only represented Xun Yu alone, Xun Yu also brought a large number of talents from Yingchuan, and behind these talents were the Yingchuan gentry group.

There is only one place at the core of the civil service system, Yingchuan!

Yingchuan is a talent export destination with high quality and sufficient quantity!

The core of Yingchuan's core is Xun Yu.

Xun Yu has the following three meanings to the Cao Wei Group:

1. Give Cao Cao the most correct advice in all the turning points of his future life;

2. Undertaken the heavy tasks of governing the county and later the country;

3. Recommended a large number of talents for Cao Cao.

He recommended another capable person in his family, Xun You, to Cao Cao. In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), the general He Jin took charge of the government and conquered more than people including Xun You, a famous figure in the country. After Xun You arrived in Luoyang, he paid homage to Huangmen Shilang.

When the Kwantung Army broke out, Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an. Xun You, Yilang Zheng Tai, Chang Shi He Yong, Shi Zhong Zhongji, Yueqi Colonel Wu Qiong and others plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo. However, they were discovered before the attempt was successful, and He Yong and Xun You were imprisoned. He Yong committed suicide in fear, and Xun You He spoke and ate freely, and happened to be freed from guilt when Dong Zhuo was killed.

After leaving Chang'an, Xun You hurried back to his hometown in Yingchuan. He happened to meet Cao Cao who had just driven away Yuan Shu, so under Xun Yu's recommendation, Xun You entered the Cao Cao shogunate.

Cao Cao accompanied Yuan Shao into Yuzhou. In addition to helping Yuan Shao gain a foothold, his other purpose was to recruit talents. With the expansion of his territory, Cao Cao felt the shortage of manpower, so he came to Yingchuan to seek talents.

There was nothing he could do. Looking at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia beside Liu Han, Cao Cao became sour.

Xun Yu naturally knew these two in his early years. Xi Zhicai was his good friend in Yingchuan, and they might have to fight each other in the future. Guo Jia was a branch of the Guo family in Yangzhai, but they were not close at all, and he was also a young prodigy.

It's a pity that the two of them were intercepted by the King of Hejian a long time ago. If it were anyone else, Xun Yu would dare to poach them.

Liu Han can't do it. Today Xun Yu goes to poach his corner. Tomorrow he may lead tens of thousands of troops to Yingchuan to dig the Xun family's ancestral grave.

Others say, this person really dares to do it!

Zhao Yan, courtesy name Boran, was born in Yangzhai, Yingchuan. He has been familiar with classics and history since he was a child, and developed a keen observation and analysis ability and a shrewd and sophisticated character. When he reaches the weakest age, he will be praised in his hometown. Together with Xinpi of Yangzhai, Chen Qun of Xuchang and Du Xi of Dingling, they are also known as the four famous scholars of Yingchuan.

Liu Biao, who ruled in Jingzhou, knew the names of Zhao Yan, Du Xi, and Fan Qin, so he deliberately attracted them, treated them as distinguished guests, and invited them to serve as officials many times. Through observation, Zhao Yan believed that Liu Biao was short-sighted. Although he was famous for a while, he could not achieve great things in the end and refused to resign. At the same time, he persuaded Fan Qin, who showed off his literary talent in front of Liu Biao, to stay away from Liu Biao to avoid regrets for the rest of his life.

Now that the Yellow Turbans were defeated and Yuan Shu was defeated, Zhao Yan returned to his hometown and was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu. After a good conversation with Cao Cao, Zhao Yan recognized his master.
