Yanzhou was the backbone of the anti-Dong alliance at that time. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, plus Zhang Miao's younger brother Cao Cao at the time, made the Sixth Formation of Yanzhou The vote became the king of votes in the coalition fighting against Dong Dong.

But then there was a sudden change in Luoyang, and both Liu Dai and Qiao Mao were invited to drink tea by the King of Hejian. Now Liu Dai is punished to eat dirt in the north, and Qiao Mao is reinstated and becomes the prefect again, but this life is over. Being able to survive is a blessing among misfortunes.

Yuan Yi died the earliest, and was directly cut into half by Liu Han's men in the Battle of Luoyang. Three years have passed, and the grass on the graves has grown taller, but there is a high probability that there will not even be a grave, and the people who were killed will be hastily burned together. , then buried and turned into a part of nature.

Yanzhou fell into a stage of leaderlessness and separatist rule. Helplessly, Bao Xin roped in Cao Cao to be Yanzhou's spokesman. Then Bao Xin and Zhang Miao also died in the battle with the Yellow Turbans.

There are only two revolutionary leaders left in Yanzhou: Cao Cao and Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao.

Bao Xin and others welcomed Cao Cao into Yanzhou, but Zhang Chao did not agree with Cao Cao's entry into Yanzhou. Later, due to the strength of the Yellow Turban army and the support of Bao Xin and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao's entry into Yanzhou was not openly opposed by Zhang Chao and others. This is the first potential source of uneasiness.

The second potential source of uneasiness is Ying Shao. (Ying Shao (about 151 to about 203 years), courtesy name Zhongyuan, was born in Nandun County, Runan County. He was a scholar and jurist in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was the son of Ying Feng, the official of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ying Shao was born in a family of officials. He was diligent in studying when he was young and was well read. More information. In the early years of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he was born as a filial and honest man. He started as a chariot and cavalry general (He Miao), and later served as the magistrate of Xiao County and Yingling County. In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), he became the prefect of Taishan. In the second year of Chuping In 191 (), he participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising Army and brought peace to the county.)

Ying Shao was sent by Cao Cao to pick up his father Cao Song, but he was not picked up and died on the way. Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou in a rage. Who knows whether he would put the butcher's knife on his neck again afterwards?

Fearing Cao Cao's revenge, Ying Shao rebelled.

After all, Cao Cao had a criminal record and killed Bian Rang, a famous scholar in Yanzhou. This is also the third potential factor. Bian Rang's killing caused dissatisfaction with the powerful local nobles in Yanzhou. (Bian Rang, courtesy name Wenli, was born in Junyi County, Chenliu County. He was a famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a scholar of poetry and poetry, and a great Confucian. He was good at debate at a young age and was as famous as Tao Qiuhong and Kong Rong. He was recruited by General He Jin and served as Ling Shi. He was good at fortune telling. He was a celebrity like Kong Rong and Wang Lang. He was highly praised by Yilang Cai Yong and served as the governor of Jiujiang. When the world was in chaos, he resigned from office and returned home. He relied on his talent and arrogance and refused to submit to Cao Cao, the shepherd of Yanzhou. He was killed by Cao Cao. .)

In the second year of Chuping (191), Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, pacified the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army, and became the governor of Yanzhou. But Bian Rang relied on his talent to ignore Cao Cao and despised and belittled Cao Cao many times. Bian asked his fellow villagers to frame Bian Cang to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao asked county officials to kill Bian Cang on the spot.

This incident was the trigger. Cao Cao fought and gave way, causing the powerful nobles in Yanzhou to panic.

Yes, it’s panic.

The Bian family in Junyi County has a close relationship with the Cao family. Back then, Bian Shao was promoted to an official position by Cao Teng. In the eyes of the local gentry, Cao Cao didn't care about his old relationship at all. He killed Bian Rang and then destroyed his family. Then will you, Cao Cao, ignore your old feelings and kill all of us Yanzhou people when they offend you?

Probably!

Cao Cao trusted the newly recruited Qingzhou Army more than the locals in Yanzhou.

How to support millions of people in Qingzhou?

Naturally, it is a deserted land left behind by the Yellow Turbans.

But although that pile of waste land is now ownerless, it is a dividend that the remaining celebrities and wealthy families in Yanzhou will divide in the future!

The recruitment policy of Qingzhou soldiers seriously harmed the interests of local wealthy families. In their opinion: You, Cao, gave these untouchable lands to these untouchables without even saying hello. Do you take us, the heroes who welcomed you into Yanzhou, seriously?

Definitely not!

Didn't you see that Bian Zang said to kill? !

If this matter were on Liu Han's side, it wouldn't be a big deal at all. The powerful nobles Liu Yan killed in Sili were not only larger than those in Yanzhou, but also killed more people, and no one dared to rebel. . Let alone allocate land to these yellow turban untouchables, just kill a few more and give way to others. How dare the nobles say no? If you dare, kill them all together.

In a room full of people, if you want to open a window, everyone will disagree. But if you want to lift the roof, others will agree with you to open the window. This is called no harm without comparison. People who are kind-hearted can only be bullied. They are more ruthless than these nobles, so they are willing to be obedient.

To purge the powerful nobles in the Sili area, one reason is enough - thieves.

evidence?

There is no need for this in troubled times. If I say you are a thief, then you are a thief. It is a crime to kill one person, and it is a hero to kill ten thousand people. Liu Han has a great record of killing 400,000 foreigners. The powerful nobles have a guilty conscience. How can they not feel frightened when they see him?

Of course Cao Cao knew the benefits of doing this in his heart, but he couldn't be as blatant as Liu Han because he was not strong enough to need to listen to the powerful nobles, so why not give in to others as a test?

When Cao Cao first took charge of Yanzhou as a herdsman, among the eight counties in Yanzhou, only Dongjun and Jibei were on Cao Cao's side. The remaining six counties all maintain considerable independence, and Cao Cao is using a "three-step" strategy to control Yanzhou.

The first step: Infiltrate Dongping Kingdom and Rencheng Kingdom. Cao Cao first sent Hu Zhao to Dongping State as the county magistrate, and reused Lu Qian, a powerful man in Rencheng State.

Step 2: Weaken Shanyang County and Jiyin County. Cao Cao sent troops to guard Hulu County, the strategic capital of Shanyang County, and moved the headquarters to Juancheng in Jiyin County. He also reused the powerful Li Dian family in Chengshi County of Jiyin County. The final result satisfied Cao Cao, that is, he had complete control. Second County.

Step 3: Target the last two remaining counties, Taishan County and Chenliu County, but Bian Rang was killed, and Cao Song was killed again. What would Ying Shao think? What would Zhang Chao think?

Anyway, Cao Cao messed up this time.

Once, the bomb planted by Cao Cao was "connected to all the famous people in the country". Chen Gong first made some connections with the rebellious state officials and local governors. Then he found Zhang Chao and Ying Shao, and said to them: "Nowadays, all the heroes have risen together, and the world is falling apart. You, the two princes, control the armies in Chenliu County and Taishan County. Cao Cao is a ruthless man and refuses to recognize his relatives. The best way is to give way." A good example, now Yanzhou's troops have followed Cao Cao in his eastward expedition to Xuzhou, and his base camp is in a state of emptiness. Lu Bu is a warrior, good at fighting and indomitable. If we have the right to welcome him to us , and co-ruling Yanzhou with him, isn't it better than the careerist Cao Cao?"

After being deceived by Chen Gong, the two of them thought so! Although Lu Bu has a bad reputation, he is a reckless man! Isn't a reckless man easier to control than an ambitious man?

Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Guangling who had been staying in Chenliu, and Xu Si, Wang Kai, Cao Cao's lieutenants, all rebelled. They welcomed Lu Bu and elected him as the shepherd of Yanzhou.

Due to various factors and various BUFF bonuses, rebellions broke out in various places in Yanzhou. According to historical records, "all counties and counties responded", but only Juancheng, Dong'a, and Fanxian held firm.

Yanzhou has a total of eighty cities. If you include the military castle below the county seat, then Yanzhou has more than a hundred cities. Suddenly, Cao Cao only had three cities left. The scale of the rebellion may not necessarily be that large. There are definitely a considerable number of cities waiting to see, but the rebellion this time is definitely not small.
