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

Qingzhou.

Liu Bei faced the same problem as Sun Ce - a bad background.

Because of Liu Han, Liu Bei could not win over people's hearts as a clan member of the Han Dynasty. In addition, after claiming to be King Jing of Zhongshan, now the lineage of King Jing of Zhongshan has been thrown into the dust because of him. No matter which clan member of the Han Dynasty is right He couldn't avoid it.

Therefore, before entering Pingyuan County, Liu Bei used a tiger skin as a banner to occupy Pingyuan County in the name of Gongsun Zan. Within a year, Liu Bei had the military support of Gongsun Zan, and his behavior was not as violent as Gongsun Zan, and he was full of malice towards the nobles and powerful people. Liu Bei successfully reached cooperation with the local nobles and powerful people in Pingyuan County, which meant that Liu Bei gained a foothold in Qingzhou.

Liu Bei knew his shortcomings. If he wanted to make his way in troubled times, he had to establish an image for himself. Just like Yuan Shao, the Four Generations and Three Dukes were his image.

The image Liu Bei established for himself was that of benevolence and kindness to the people. While the princes from all walks of life were recovering from their injuries in secret, Liu Bei was also secretly accumulating his own strength.

When he first entered Pingyuan County, he had only 3,000 soldiers and horses, but now he has expanded to 13,000. Some of them are people attracted by his kindness, but most of them are local powerful people. , or the Yellow Turban Moth Thief.

In Qingzhou, because of the prostitution, the local gentry and powerful people repeatedly exploited and oppressed the local people, which led to the Yellow Turbans happening here. After Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turbans were taken over by the powerful people who secretly infiltrated, and became a local cancer.

Later, due to the arrival of Saint Taiping in Qingzhou, hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans once again gathered in Qingzhou. The local wealthy families could not afford to eat and they in turn became the food of the Yellow Turbans. If Zhang Ning had not left, the Yellow Turbans would have wanted to go north to the Bohai Sea to attack Gongsun Zan, and in the end suffered heavy losses. , Qingzhou is very likely to become the territory of the Yellow Turbans.

The Yellow Turbans who stayed in Qingzhou were more or less closely related to the local wealthy families.

Liu Bei took control of Pingyuan County, and the local thieves, yellow turbans, and bandits suddenly "disappeared"!

This made Liu Bei very happy, "Thanks to Brother Bogui, the spirit of the Yellow Turban has been defeated."

However, things took a turn for the worse. Less than two days after Liu Bei's good days, he received news of Gongsun Zan's defeat. Tens of thousands of his troops were lost. Not only did Gongsun Zan lose his base, but he was also knocked out of his spirit by Liu Han's battle.

The relationship between the local nobles and Liu Bei became delicate again, especially the local Han clan clan, who avoided Liu Bei like a snake or a scorpion.

In fact, Pingyuan County is not an ordinary county. Pingyuan County is the fiefdom of Liu Shuo, the younger brother of Emperor Huan. After Emperor Huan Liu Zhi came to power, in the second year of Jianhe (148), his younger brother Liu Shuo, the Marquis of Duxiang, was granted the title of King of Pingyuan. He lived in Bo Lingjun, inherited the incense from his father Liu Yi. In the second year of Jianhe's reign, the emperor's younger brother Hou Shuo of Duxiang was granted the title of Prince of Pingyuan. Mrs. Zunyi, the Ma family, is a noble person of Xiao Chongbo Garden, and the three counties of Liangxiang and Gu'an in Zhuojun and Liwu in Hejian are called Tangmuyi.

One of the Liu family of Gaotang, and the fifth son of Emperor Zhang of Han Dynasty Liu Jin, after Liu Shou, King Hui of Jibei.

Liu Chang, the second emperor of the Liu family in the High Tang Dynasty, was the son of Li Wang of Huainan. He was the son of Liu Bo, the king of Jibei Zhen, and Bo was the son of Liu Chong. He first lived in the High Tang Dynasty. The eleventh generation grandson Liu Shi, named Zizhen, was Taichang and Xunyang Marquis of Jin Dynasty.

The Liu family of Pingyuan County, Liu Zui, named Wenli, was from Pingyuan, and moved to Taiyuan to be the governor. The Liu family of Pingyuan, after King Jing of Zhongshan, was reburied in the joint tomb, and Liu Zuo was buried in Sanliang Pavilion, his ancestral cemetery, after his death.

In other words, there are four clans with the surname Liu in Pingyuan County, and among them there is one, Queen Jing of Zhongshan, who has a very unfavorable opinion of Liu Bei. Liu Bei was very angry, but he did not dare to touch them. Not everyone in the world could attack the Han clan members like Liu Han did, so he could only curse them in his heart as white-eyed wolves.

We can't blame these clan members. How could they have known that having an affair with Liu Bei would cause the whole clan to be dissatisfied? Between Liu Bei and Liu Han, any fool knows who to choose, right? If their family hadn't been here, they would have gone elsewhere.

Just when Liu Bei was upset, he received a letter asking for help from Kong Rong in Beihai. He was surrounded by the Yellow Turbans!

Kong Rong is the twentieth generation grandson of Confucius. His seventh-generation ancestor Kong Ba was the teacher of Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty, and he was an official in the imperial court. His father, Kong Zhou, once served as the captain of Taishan.

Kong Rong had outstanding talents when he was young and was praised by the famous scholar Li Ying.

With a bunch of BUFFs, it was difficult for Kong Rong not to become famous, so before he became an official, he became as famous as Pingyuan people Tao Qiuhong and Chen Liuren, and he became famous without having to earn anything by himself.

After becoming an official, because of his upright character, Kong Rong offended many people in this court where monsters, demons, and snake gods gathered together, especially the eunuchs' children. At that time, Henan Yin even wanted to assassinate him to vent his hatred, so Kong Rong could only excuse himself because of illness. Home.

After becoming an official again, Kong Rong was recruited as a vassal of Sikong and was awarded the title of Military Marquis of Beizhong. After serving for three days, he was transferred to Huben Zhonglang General. At a time when the powerful minister Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government and wanted to depose Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, Kong Rong argued with Dong Zhuo, using heated words and often making corrective remarks. Dong Zhuo held a grudge and transferred Kong Rong to Yilang. Due to Kong Rong's special status, he could only suggest that the three palaces (Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong) recommended Kong Rong to be the prime minister of Beihai, where the Yellow Turban Army was most rampant.

Who would have thought that after Kong Rong arrived in Beihai, he gathered soldiers and people, gathered troops to teach martial arts, issued proclamations, wrote letters himself, communicated with various states and counties, and planned plans together, slowly gathering officials and common people. More than 40,000 men and women were bewitched by the Yellow Turban. People, then set up cities and schools, show Confucianism, treat the people of the country with courtesy, even if they have only a small good deed, and help bury the people who have no descendants and the wanderers from all over the world who have died. Because of his political voice, he was called "Kong Beihai" by people at the time.

Kong Beihai served as governor for half a year, then joined the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and finally captured Luoyang. Because he was a descendant of Confucius, Liu Han did not make things difficult for him, but only gave him a verbal warning.

Kong Rong knew that he was not a soldier, so he worked hard to rectify the situation after returning. However, no matter how outstanding his political achievements were, in troubled times, if his sword handle was not strong enough, he would be bullied.

Kong Rong was surrounded by Guan Hai, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, and the situation was urgent. He remembered the letter Liu Ziping wrote to him a few days ago to praise Liu Bei. Looking at the entire Qingzhou, Liu Bei was the only one who could treat him. He treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

If Liu Ziping knew at this moment that Kong Rong asked for help because he praised Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, he would definitely regret it to death.

The King of Hejian was famous for holding grudges. Liu Bei used the guise of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and others were fine, but the real King Jing of Zhongshan was in bad luck.

Liu Bei was also unambiguous. After receiving Kong Rong's request for help, he immediately ordered his troops to go to the rescue. "This is the best opportunity to capture Qingzhou!"

While Jizhou was still undecided and the King of Hejian was still in Sili and had no time to estimate himself, Liu Bei got the best chance to annex Qingzhou.

Being of low background is not a problem. In troubled times, people should have dreams and work hard to climb up! (End of chapter)
