Great Han Empire
Chapter 682 The Heroic Chapter in Troubled Times
Chapter 682
Under November, Handan.
General Longxiang Xu Rongshu told Li Hong that the situation in Guanzhong was turbulent, and it was better to give up the strategy of attacking Hangu Pass.
At the beginning of October, Duan Yan and Wang Fang had a dispute over the garrison of Wuguan.Neither of them wanted to garrison troops in Linjin City in Fengyi County, because Pubanjin on the other side of the Yellow River had the Northern Army stationed there.Li Jue, Guo Si and others wanted to preserve their strength, so of course they would not let Wang Fang go, but Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun insisted on having Duan Yan garrison Wuguan.Jia Xu believed that although Duan Yan was also from Xiliang, he participated in the killing of Dong Zhuo and could not be trusted.If Duan Yan and the Yuan brothers join hands to open Wuguan and put the Yuan brothers into Guanzhong, then Guanzhong will be in danger.
The two sides were very unhappy about this.Li Jue saw that Guanzhong was getting stable, and Li Hong sent troops to Youzhou and had no time to take care of Guanzhong in a short time, so he discussed with Guo Si and others, and decided to take back the power from Huangfusong and Zhu Jun.
During the period when Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were in power, the generals in Xiliang were highly nervous, and they were always on guard against the scholars in Chang'an, lest they would repeat the mistake of Dong Zhuo being killed. Guo Si, Wang Fang and others could not bear it long ago.At the beginning, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were invited to return to Chang'an to preside over the state affairs in order to stabilize Guanzhong and prevent the northern border army from attacking Chang'an. Now this purpose has been achieved.In addition, judging from Li Hong's recent actions, it seems that he has no intention of being king.Li Hong sent troops to attack Youzhou impatiently, obviously in order to consolidate the three states of Hebei and plot his hegemony.If Li Hong succeeds in his hegemony and his strength increases suddenly, Guanzhong will be out of Li Hong's pocket sooner or later. Therefore, it has become the consensus of all generals in Xiliang to take advantage of Guanzhong's advantages as soon as possible and develop their strength rapidly.If you want to expand your army and prepare for war, you have to control the power and wealth of the emperor and Guanzhong by yourself. This is what Xiliang generals dream of.
Taking advantage of the dispute between Duan Yan and Wang Fang, Li Jue, Guo Si and others rushed into the Weiyang Palace with their troops, and forced the emperor to issue an order to dismiss the chariot general Huangfusong, hussar general Zhu Jun and Taiwei Yang. Biao.
The Son of Heaven issued an edict to the world to turn to worship Li Jue as the general of chariots and cavalry, the supervisor of Sili Xiaowei, Guo Si as the rear general, and Fan Chou as the right general.He turned to worship Zhang Ji as the general of hussars and stationed in Tongguan.Generals such as Duan Yan and Wang Fang were worshiped as generals.
The ministers in the Chang'an court were very angry and refused to go to the court to discuss politics.
Shang Shu ordered Sun Rui to intervene.Shangshu Jia Xu also repeatedly advised Xiliang generals.Li Jue and the others were worried about the chaos in Chang'an, so they backed down a step.
The emperor made another decree to worship Huangfu Song as Taiwei, Zhao Qian as Situ, Zhu Jun as servant, and Yang Biao as Doctor Guanglu.Huangfusong, Zhao Qian and Chunyujia participated in the affairs of Li Shangshu at the same time.
By the middle of this month, Duan Yan still insisted on stationing troops in Wuguan and refused to obey Li Jue's military order.Situ Zhao Qian and Duan Yan are relatives, and the two have a close relationship, and Zhao Qian has been walking frequently with the Guanzhong clan recently.After Li Jue received the secret report, he immediately ordered his subordinates to quietly arrest a group of children of Guanzhong clansmen, tortured them severely, and unexpectedly discovered that several aristocratic families in Guanzhong were in secret contact with Yuan Shao, planning to launch a mutiny.Li Jue was furious and ordered the extermination of these aristocratic families.Situ Zhao Qian was implicated and was dismissed and returned home.Duan Yan was worried that Li Jue would deal with him, so he led the army to set off overnight and rushed to Wuguan.
Just when the generals in Xiliang were about to fight among themselves, Xu Rong's special envoy Chen Wei arrived in Chang'an.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others thought that Xu Rong had got the news of the civil strife in Guanzhong, so they hurriedly followed Jia Xu's persuasion, and in the name of the emperor, ordered Duan Yan to garrison Wuguan.If Duan Yan is forced to turn against him at this time, Guanzhong will inevitably be in chaos, and everyone will finish playing together.
The emperor also decreed to turn Chunyu Jia as Situ and Yang Biao as Sikong.Sangong still participated in the Li Shangshu affairs with the three generals, and the government was discussed by the six governments.

Chen Wei went to Chang'an under Xu Rong's order for two things. One was to discuss with the imperial court about paying taxes, and the other was to attack Guandong.
Now there are frequent wars in Jizhou and disasters caused by refugees, and their income taxes have to subsidize northern Xinjiang and Youzhou. Therefore, only the county of Hedong, which Xu Rong is in charge of, can pay taxes to the court. However, the amount demanded by the court is too large, and Xu Rong is very embarrassed.
Hedong's wealth is also very tight this year.Kansai will be a battlefield for a long time in the future. The people living in Kansai not only live in hardship, but even their lives are not guaranteed.For this reason, General Li Hong wrote several letters to Xu Rong, Hedong Taishou Wang Yi, and Diannong Zhonglang General Zuo Yan, asking them to move all the people in Kansai to Tuntian District in the lower reaches of the Fen River in Hedong before the end of the year.The purpose of our wars is to stabilize the country and to keep the people alive. If the people die in the flames of war, then what is the point of our wars?
In the past few years, Kansai has been constantly fighting. Many people have long fled to Hedong to avoid disaster, but some people are stubbornly guarding their homes.When the rebels came, they fled to the mountains. As soon as the rebels left, they went home and continued to cultivate the land. Although life was hard, this was their home after all.
The relocation of the population went relatively smoothly with the efforts of the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army.Aristocrats, aristocratic families, and common people in Kansai moved north to Hedong one after another.A large amount of money and food needed for the migration were paid by the Hedong House.
The wealth of Hedong Mansion needs to supply [-] northern troops with military resources, subsidize northern borders, and provide relief and resettlement for the people in Kansai who moved north. Of course, they cannot make ends meet.
Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou didn't dare to offend Xu Rong, so they agreed.It is better to give a little than nothing.As early as September, the imperial court sent special envoys to the Kanto and various states and counties to urge tax payment, but nothing happened, and even those envoys disappeared.
As for Xu Rong's proposal to jointly attack Guandong, Li Jue politely refused.Guanzhong is unstable and the army is not strong enough. The heavy responsibility of countering the rebellion should be borne by the generals alone.
Li Jue understood Xu Rong's intentions.Xu Rong wants to fight Guandong, but he is afraid that he will hit him from behind, so he wants to get his own promise.Li Jue said to Chen Wei, go back and tell Lord Xu that as long as he guarantees that Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi's army will not enter the pass, I will never leave Tongguan.
Chen Wei left satisfied, and then Han Sui's special envoy arrived, and Han Sui urged for the relief money and food that the court had promised to allocate to Xiliang.
Li Jue and others were frowning, and asked the three ministers to agree.Yang Biao proposed to send ministers to take the emperor's decree and talisman out of Guanzhong to appease the states and counties and press for taxes.Li Jue scoffed.Now that the emperor's prestige has been lost, the imperial power is useless, states and counties all over the country are embracing themselves, and the imperial court is just a display.Now don't talk about sending ministers out of the customs to appease, even if the emperor goes out of the customs to appease him in person, it is estimated that he will hit a wall everywhere.
Huangfu Song looked up to the sky and sighed, and said helplessly, "The only thing we can count on now is Yizhou. I think we should send the son of Lord Mu Liu of Yizhou to take the emperor's imperial decree and go south to Shu County quickly."
Just when everyone was at a loss, the good news came suddenly that Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, had worked in Kuai Peng to Chang'an.Liu Biao said in his memorial that he respected the emperor and the court.The tax paid by Jingzhou to the imperial court is on its way to Guanzhong, and it will be delivered to Chang'an by the end of the year.
Liu Biao's memorial gave Chang'an a huge surprise.The emperor immediately decreed that Liu Biao was the general of Zhennan, led Jingzhou Mu, and became Wuhou.
The Son of Heaven made a decree to turn Huangfusong to be the Taifu, and let Huangfusong and his servant Zhu Jun go out of the customs with the talisman festival to appease the states and counties in various places.Fengche Duwei Liu Zhang rushed to Yizhou with the imperial decree.
=
Xu Rong said in a letter to Li Hong that Yuan Shao must have supported Liu Biao's sudden surrender.Without Yuan Shao's consent, Liu Biao would be betraying if he did so, and he would be attacked by Yuan Shao. Now Nanyang is controlled by Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao cannot send money and food to Chang'an.It can be seen from this incident that some changes have taken place in Yuan Shao's strategy. Does he no longer insist on rebuilding the imperial line?If Yuan Shao no longer insists on rebuilding the imperial line, he will regain the support of states and counties with different opinions, and his strength will develop faster, which is obviously not good for Hebei.
There is also the matter of Huangfusong and Zhu Jun going out of the customs with the talisman festival to appease them.Liu Biao suddenly presented his watch, honored the emperor and paid taxes voluntarily, which made some ministers in the Chang'an court blindly optimistic about the stability of the country.Li Jue immediately took advantage of this opportunity to drive Huangfusong and Zhu Jun out of Chang'an. He thought he was very smart and that he could completely control the power in this way, but he didn't think about it. Without Huangfusong and Zhu Jun's With deterrence and mediation, the ministers in Chang'an will immediately have fierce conflicts with them. After the conflict, there will be a mutiny, a rebellion, and the situation in Guanzhong is getting more and more dangerous.
Xu Rong also mentioned something that worried Li Hong very much.
If the chaos in Guanzhong continues, it will be very detrimental to the stability and development of Xiliang. At this time, Han Sui and Ma Teng are very likely to attack Guanzhong.Occupying the Guandong will also solve the poverty in Xiliang. Of course Han Sui and Ma Teng are willing to take this risk, but the emperor and the court are in Chang'an, and we will not sit idly by.In order to contain our troops and prevent us from attacking Guanzhong, will they contact Yuan Shao in secret?
Xu Rong's suggestion is that for the safety of the emperor, we should take the initiative to contact Han Sui and Ma Teng, wait for the opportunity to attack Guanzhong, and rescue the emperor.If we can occupy Guanzhong and unite Guanzhong and northern Xinjiang, we will be able to stabilize the country as soon as possible.
=
Li Hong thought about it for a long time, and discussed it carefully with the officials of the three prefectures, and finally gave Xu Rong a "play by ear" answer, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Brother Zilie is very thoughtful. If the northern border army can capture Guanzhong as soon as possible and rescue the emperor, it will be very helpful to the great cause of Zhongxing Sheji. But what we think of, Yuan Shao will also think of.Now that Yuan Shao has occupied Nanyang, he has already approached Wuguan. As long as he can defeat Wuguan, his army can directly kill Chang'an.If Yuan Shao unites Guanzhong, Kanxi, and Kanto as one, his strength will even exceed ours, so I guess he will quickly shift his attention to Guanzhong after stabilizing Kanto.
Yuan Shao has always insisted on rebuilding the imperial lineage. Only by rebuilding the imperial lineage can he completely eradicate the scourge of the Yuan Clan's genocide.If Yuan Shao captures Guanzhong before us, the fate of the emperor can be imagined. Therefore, whether we can capture Guanzhong is not important, the important thing is not to let Yuan Shao occupy Guanzhong.Whether Guanzhong is occupied by Li Jue or Han Sui, the emperor will not be in great danger, but once Guanzhong is occupied by Yuan Shao, the emperor will die.The emperor died under such circumstances today, and the big man has no possibility of saving it.
In the past when Dong Zhuo was here, we once said that in order to succeed in the reform, we must deliberately postpone the time of King Qin, but now that Dong Zhuo is dead and Yuan Shao has occupied Kanto, this sentence is invalid. Qin Wang, but how to choose the timing is up to Brother Zilie to decide.

In early December, Handan.
Hua Tuo rushed to the general Xingyuan.
After receiving the report, Li Hong hurried out of the gate to meet him.Huang Da strode forward accompanied by an old man in simple clothes.This old man is about 50 years old, wearing a bamboo hat, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and carrying a bamboo basket on his back. It makes people feel very friendly.Behind him, there are several disciples in the same ragged clothes, with wooden sticks and bamboo baskets on their backs, some of them are very old.
Li Hong went up to greet him, and saluted respectfully, "Master Fan came here after a long journey..."
"The general came out to greet him in person, dare not be, dare not be..." Hua Tuo gave a deep salute, said a few words slowly and modestly, and then asked, "How is Lord Lu Zhi doing?"
Huang Da bent over and stood aside, and respectfully introduced Lu Zhi's condition in detail.
Accompanied by Li Hong, Hua Tuo strode towards Lu Zhi's military tent while listening, with a calm smile on his face all the time, without any look of being flattered, as if the person walking beside him was not a famous celebrity today. The great general of the world, but an ordinary person eager to save his loved ones.He didn't say a word to Li Hong from the beginning to the end.
=
Hua Tuo walked out of Lu Zhi's military tent, and slowly glanced at the many officials in Hebei who were surrounded outside the tent.
Li Hong, Zhang Wen, Ma Rixun, Cui Lie, Cai Yong and others stood together, looking at Hua Tuo anxiously and expectantly, hoping that he would bring a miracle.
Hua Tuo shook his head and said calmly, "Let's prepare for the funeral."
Everyone's hearts were instantly icy cold.
"Zi Jian said, the master can save Master Lu." Li Hong was disappointed, and said sadly, "Can't the master take a closer look?"
Hua Tuo smiled helplessly, bowed and said, "I've tried my best, so I'm leaving."
Li Hong looked at him in shock, "Master is leaving? In such a hurry?"
Hua Tuo bowed his hands to everyone and hurried away with his disciples.
=
Huang Da walked out of the big tent, bowed to Li Hong and said: "General, the master has given Master Lu acupuncture and left a prescription. It is estimated that Master Lu can last for a few days. General, this is a rare opportunity. I want to I'm leaving with the master, please take care of the general."
Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "When will you come back?"
"A year at most, half a year at least." Huang Da said apologetically, "If I miss this opportunity, I will never find the master again. I have to leave." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to run.
Li Hong grabbed him, "Zi Jian, you're gone, what about Mr. Lu's illness?"
"General, there are many medical craftsmen in Xingyuan, and I have already arranged them, so you can let me go." Huang Da begged, "Master didn't want to come, he was so busy in Yanzhou that he couldn't sleep. There was no time, and when he heard that it was Master Lu Zhi, he came here in a hurry. Once the master crosses the Yellow River, I will not be able to find him."
Li Hong hesitated for a moment, then let go of his hand, "Bring more money and silk, and thank Master for me."
"Money is useless, if you want to give it, give it silk." Huang Da said anxiously, "Except for Beijiang and Hebei, other places are bartering now, and no one wants money. I will leave first, and the general will follow." Send someone to bring things over."
Huang Dafei generally ran away.
Li Hong stared blankly at Huang Da's back, feeling depressed.
Master Xiangkai came riding a donkey, "Hua Tuo left so soon?"
"You know him?" Li Hong asked in surprise.
"I have known him for decades, but we have only been together for a few days." Xiang Kai said with a wry smile, "Yuanhua doesn't think about anything other than saving lives, so he is very skilled in medicine, unlike Zhang and I. Jiao, always can't get rid of the mundane affairs of the world, but delays the medical skills."
"Then why didn't the master catch up with him immediately and leave him in Hebei?" Li Hong said eagerly, "Hebei needs Master Hua Tuo."
"The people who need Huatuo are not only the people in Hebei, but also the people in the world." Xiangkai shook his head and sighed, "Back then, the Taiwei Huang Wan used the bus to conquer, but was rejected by Huatuo. Huatuo used to save the world How can he stay in one place when he is his own responsibility? The general underestimates Yuanhua too much."
Li Hong was ashamed and said nothing.
"I haven't seen him for five years, I'm going to catch up to see him." Master Xiangkai hurried to the Chidao outside Xingyuan. .

In mid-December, Lu Zhi died of illness, and Hebei mourned for him.
=
Almost at the same time, Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, died of illness.
After Yuan Shao got the news, he immediately asked Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, to concurrently serve as the governor of Yangzhou, and immediately went south.
Yuan Shu also got the news. At this time, his army was fighting fiercely with Cao Cao.Although Cao Cao didn't want to fight Yuan Shu, he didn't want Yuan Shu and the Northern Frontier Army to join forces on the Yellow River.After he got Li Hong's promise, he immediately led his army to withdraw across the Yellow River and attacked Liu Xiang who was about to attack Puyang.Liu Xiang was caught off guard and was ambushed by Cao Cao, losing hundreds of people.While asking Yuan Shu for help, Liu Xiang quickly withdrew to Fengqiu City in Chenliu County.Cao Cao chased after him, and the two sides fought a decisive battle at Kuangting, ten miles outside Fengqiu City.
Yuan Shu didn't want to miss the opportunity to occupy Yangzhou. Instead of sending reinforcements to Fengqiu City to attack Cao Cao, he ordered Li Ye, Chen Yu, Lieutenant Li Ye, Lieutenant Chen Yu, Lieutenant Ji Ling, and Qiao Rui to rush south with 5000 troops to occupy Yangzhou before Yuan Yi. .Ji Ling's army encountered Yuan Yi in Xiao County in Peiguo.Ji Ling immediately commanded the army to surround Yuan Yi. After a bloody fight, Yuan Yi fled and was killed by the rebels.
Pei Guoxiang Yuan Zhong heard the news and led an army to help, but was also beaten by Ji Ling and fled in embarrassment.
Yangzhou was successfully occupied by Yuan Shu.
At the end of December, Yuan Shu did not receive the good news of occupying Yangzhou, but received the bad news of the defeat of Kuangting, the loss of Fengqiu, and the annihilation of Liu Xiang's entire army.
Yuan Shu panicked and asked Xuzhou Tao Qian for help.After Yuan Shu's army plundered Chenliu, before the New Year came, they hurriedly withdrew from Chenliu City, headed towards Liang State, and prepared to retreat to Yangzhou.
The bell of the new year came quietly amidst Yuan Shu's curse.

The first month of the fourth year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty (AD 193).

When Cao Cao saw that Chen Liucheng had been plundered by Yuan Shu, and that he and his family members had been kidnapped by Yuan Shu, he became mad at that time. He roared loudly and vowed to kill Yuan Shu.
On the first month, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xun Yu, and Chen Gong rushed to Chenliu with an army of [-].
The 30 troops were all reorganized from Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers.During the Battle of Jibei, about [-] Yellow Turbans gathered in Jibei were attacked by Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army and Tian Kai's Qingzhou Army. Unfortunately, Sima Ju was killed by an arrow in the fierce battle.The sudden death of the general led to the complete defeat of the Yellow Turban Army.Guan Cheng fled to Mount Tai with some remnants, and Wu Ba fled to Lu State in Yuzhou with some remnants.After this battle, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army turned from prosperity to decline, and fell into a slump.
After Cao Cao led the main force to the north bank of the Yellow River, Cao Ren was ordered to stay and kill the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. He successively recovered Dongping, Jibei, Taishan and the counties and counties in the east of Dongjun, and recruited and incorporated about [-] Yellow Turbans. The weak, sick and disabled and hundreds of thousands of refugees were left in Jibei, Dongping, Rencheng and other places to farm.
Cao Cao reorganized his army and horses, braved the wind and snow, and hurriedly pursued.
After Yuan Shu fled to Xiangyi City in the south of Chenliu County, he stopped because of the heavy snowstorm. Unexpectedly, before staying for a few days, Cao Cao's army came to kill him.
The two sides fought for ten days, Yuan Shu retreated a hundred miles and retreated into Ningling City in Liang State because of the lack of food and grass.Cao Cao was also unable to catch up because of the lack of food and grass.
Yuan Shao intervened.
=
In early February, Tao Qian's reinforcements arrived at Ningling in Liang State.Although Tao Qian didn't want to help because of his bad relationship in the past, he didn't want to get involved in the Yuan brothers' internal strife, so he only sent [-] soldiers and promised to provide Yuan Shu with food and grass.
In February, Yuan Shu received the news from Yangzhou. He was very happy and hurriedly wrote back, asking Chen Yu to temporarily lead the governor of Yangzhou, and ordering Li Ye, Ji Ling, and Qiao Rui to rush to Peiguo with the army and provisions. support.He wants to take this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and occupy Yanzhou again.
Yuan Shu scolded Yuan Shao and refused to accept the mediation.Cao Cao bowed his head to Yuan Shao, hoping to get Yuan Shao's help.Yuan Shao learned that Yuan Shu had killed Yuan Yi, defeated Yuan Zhong, and occupied Yangzhou. He couldn't help but hated Yuan Shu to the bone, and categorically announced that he would break up with him and provide Cao Cao with food and grass.
In mid-February, the heavy snow gradually stopped, and the two sides had sufficient food and grass, and fought fiercely again.
Cao Hong and Cheng Yu led the second batch of reinforcements to arrive.Unable to resist, Yuan Shu abandoned the city and fled.Cao Cao commanded the army to pursue vigorously.Yuan Shu had no choice but to leave Cao Cao and his family members behind.Yuan Shu thought that this would make Cao Cao give up the pursuit, and Cao Cao really wanted to give up, because when spring came, the northern army would cross the river.
But Cao Cao received a secret letter from Yuan Shao at this time.Yuan Shao urged him to continue hunting down Yuan Shu.Seeing Yuan Shu's repeated defeats, Chen Yu, the new governor of Yangzhou, was desperate, so he secretly took refuge in Yuan Shao.As long as Cao Cao catches up, Yuan Shu will die.
Yuan Shu withdrew to Jianping City in Peiguo.Ji Ling led the reinforcements to arrive.The two sides fought again, and Yuan Shu was defeated again.
Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, rushed over from Pengcheng with his army.He didn't come to help Yuan Shu fight, but to mediate.After seeing Cao Cao, Tao Qian advised him to lead his army back to Yanzhou.When you killed Yuan Shu, you fell into Yuan Shao's scheme. Sooner or later, Yuan Shao will use this as an excuse to kill you.
Cao Cao's morale was like a rainbow, and he couldn't listen at all. "Old man, you lied to me last time and let me fall into the trap of the Yellow Turban Army. How can I fall into your trap again this time? I will kill you and rob you." Xuzhou."
Tao Qian had no choice but to join forces with Yuan Shu, and the two sides fought to the death.
Cao Cao fought for a day and suffered heavy losses.He immediately accepted the advice of Xun Yu, Mao Jie and others, and withdrew his troops hastily.

Yuan Shu was very grateful to Tao Qian for his help, thank you again and again.
In March, Yuan Shu led his army to Jiujiang County in Yangzhou. When he was about to enter Liyang City, the governor of Yangzhou, he was greeted by a burst of long arrows.
Yuan Shu gritted his teeth in anger, and hurriedly led his army to retreat to Yinling City, the county seat of Jiujiang County, to regroup the army and raise food and grass.
At the end of March, Yuan Shu went to Liyang City.Chen Yu held on for several days without even seeing Cao Cao's shadow.He scolded Yuan Shao and Cao Cao countless times, then abandoned the city and fled back to his hometown of Xuzhou Xiapi.
Yuan Shu let out a long breath, I finally had a place to stay.

Jizhou, Handan.
During the New Year, Xiao Lan went to Hebei with her white and tender baby in her arms.The arrival of this little baby pushed the happy atmosphere in the general's Xingyuan to the extreme, and he became the most popular character in Xingyuan.
The general especially liked it, and would go to Li Wei's military tent every day to play with the baby for a while, which made Xiaoyu and Fengxue very uncomfortable.
Ever since they followed Li Hong back to Jinyang from outside the Great Wall, they rarely had time to stay with Li Hong.Li Hong kept leading the army to go out and fight, as if this kind of killing would never stop.They are always fearful, always suffering painfully in deep-seated thoughts, and sometimes they even doubt whether this kind of life will accompany them for a lifetime.After arriving in Handan, they were very relieved and happy to see Li Hong every day. Although Li Hong worked hard day and night, at night, the family could always sit together and talk a few words, which was different from the past. Compared to this, it is already a great happiness, the only shortcoming is that the two have never been pregnant with a child.
Sensing the disappointment of the two ladies, Li Hong hurriedly spoke out to comfort him, but the joy and laughter he played with the child in his arms still couldn't conceal his love and desire for the child.
In February, Zhao Yun got married.One is the youngest General Du Liao of the Han Dynasty, and the other is the daughter of the most prestigious Confucianist in the Han Dynasty. The grandness of their wedding can be seen.All the civil and military officials from Jizhou and northern Xinjiang came here, and those who couldn't come sent people to congratulate them with heavy gifts. Many kings of the Hu tribe also came from outside the Great Wall, including Zuoxian King Liu Bao and Ri Zhu Wang. Liu Ming, Hei Ling Wang Lou Lu, Hu Ding, Qi Shen, She Ying Tong, She Hu, Lu Huanyang, etc., the scene was extremely lively.
When Zhao Yun married Cai Yan this time, Tian Chou was holding a wild goose in front of the wedding procession.So the eldest princess asked the general in a low voice, will the most lively wedding ceremony in Hebei next time be Master Tian's?
The general smiled lightly and said, "I think that the next most lively wedding ceremony in Hebei will be from the Eldest Princess."
The eldest princess blushed immediately, and she was extremely shy.

In the middle of March, the general suddenly received an urgent report from Yan Rou, and Youzhou suddenly changed.
(End of this chapter)
Under November, Handan.
General Longxiang Xu Rongshu told Li Hong that the situation in Guanzhong was turbulent, and it was better to give up the strategy of attacking Hangu Pass.
At the beginning of October, Duan Yan and Wang Fang had a dispute over the garrison of Wuguan.Neither of them wanted to garrison troops in Linjin City in Fengyi County, because Pubanjin on the other side of the Yellow River had the Northern Army stationed there.Li Jue, Guo Si and others wanted to preserve their strength, so of course they would not let Wang Fang go, but Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun insisted on having Duan Yan garrison Wuguan.Jia Xu believed that although Duan Yan was also from Xiliang, he participated in the killing of Dong Zhuo and could not be trusted.If Duan Yan and the Yuan brothers join hands to open Wuguan and put the Yuan brothers into Guanzhong, then Guanzhong will be in danger.
The two sides were very unhappy about this.Li Jue saw that Guanzhong was getting stable, and Li Hong sent troops to Youzhou and had no time to take care of Guanzhong in a short time, so he discussed with Guo Si and others, and decided to take back the power from Huangfusong and Zhu Jun.
During the period when Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were in power, the generals in Xiliang were highly nervous, and they were always on guard against the scholars in Chang'an, lest they would repeat the mistake of Dong Zhuo being killed. Guo Si, Wang Fang and others could not bear it long ago.At the beginning, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were invited to return to Chang'an to preside over the state affairs in order to stabilize Guanzhong and prevent the northern border army from attacking Chang'an. Now this purpose has been achieved.In addition, judging from Li Hong's recent actions, it seems that he has no intention of being king.Li Hong sent troops to attack Youzhou impatiently, obviously in order to consolidate the three states of Hebei and plot his hegemony.If Li Hong succeeds in his hegemony and his strength increases suddenly, Guanzhong will be out of Li Hong's pocket sooner or later. Therefore, it has become the consensus of all generals in Xiliang to take advantage of Guanzhong's advantages as soon as possible and develop their strength rapidly.If you want to expand your army and prepare for war, you have to control the power and wealth of the emperor and Guanzhong by yourself. This is what Xiliang generals dream of.
Taking advantage of the dispute between Duan Yan and Wang Fang, Li Jue, Guo Si and others rushed into the Weiyang Palace with their troops, and forced the emperor to issue an order to dismiss the chariot general Huangfusong, hussar general Zhu Jun and Taiwei Yang. Biao.
The Son of Heaven issued an edict to the world to turn to worship Li Jue as the general of chariots and cavalry, the supervisor of Sili Xiaowei, Guo Si as the rear general, and Fan Chou as the right general.He turned to worship Zhang Ji as the general of hussars and stationed in Tongguan.Generals such as Duan Yan and Wang Fang were worshiped as generals.
The ministers in the Chang'an court were very angry and refused to go to the court to discuss politics.
Shang Shu ordered Sun Rui to intervene.Shangshu Jia Xu also repeatedly advised Xiliang generals.Li Jue and the others were worried about the chaos in Chang'an, so they backed down a step.
The emperor made another decree to worship Huangfu Song as Taiwei, Zhao Qian as Situ, Zhu Jun as servant, and Yang Biao as Doctor Guanglu.Huangfusong, Zhao Qian and Chunyujia participated in the affairs of Li Shangshu at the same time.
By the middle of this month, Duan Yan still insisted on stationing troops in Wuguan and refused to obey Li Jue's military order.Situ Zhao Qian and Duan Yan are relatives, and the two have a close relationship, and Zhao Qian has been walking frequently with the Guanzhong clan recently.After Li Jue received the secret report, he immediately ordered his subordinates to quietly arrest a group of children of Guanzhong clansmen, tortured them severely, and unexpectedly discovered that several aristocratic families in Guanzhong were in secret contact with Yuan Shao, planning to launch a mutiny.Li Jue was furious and ordered the extermination of these aristocratic families.Situ Zhao Qian was implicated and was dismissed and returned home.Duan Yan was worried that Li Jue would deal with him, so he led the army to set off overnight and rushed to Wuguan.
Just when the generals in Xiliang were about to fight among themselves, Xu Rong's special envoy Chen Wei arrived in Chang'an.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others thought that Xu Rong had got the news of the civil strife in Guanzhong, so they hurriedly followed Jia Xu's persuasion, and in the name of the emperor, ordered Duan Yan to garrison Wuguan.If Duan Yan is forced to turn against him at this time, Guanzhong will inevitably be in chaos, and everyone will finish playing together.
The emperor also decreed to turn Chunyu Jia as Situ and Yang Biao as Sikong.Sangong still participated in the Li Shangshu affairs with the three generals, and the government was discussed by the six governments.

Chen Wei went to Chang'an under Xu Rong's order for two things. One was to discuss with the imperial court about paying taxes, and the other was to attack Guandong.
Now there are frequent wars in Jizhou and disasters caused by refugees, and their income taxes have to subsidize northern Xinjiang and Youzhou. Therefore, only the county of Hedong, which Xu Rong is in charge of, can pay taxes to the court. However, the amount demanded by the court is too large, and Xu Rong is very embarrassed.
Hedong's wealth is also very tight this year.Kansai will be a battlefield for a long time in the future. The people living in Kansai not only live in hardship, but even their lives are not guaranteed.For this reason, General Li Hong wrote several letters to Xu Rong, Hedong Taishou Wang Yi, and Diannong Zhonglang General Zuo Yan, asking them to move all the people in Kansai to Tuntian District in the lower reaches of the Fen River in Hedong before the end of the year.The purpose of our wars is to stabilize the country and to keep the people alive. If the people die in the flames of war, then what is the point of our wars?
In the past few years, Kansai has been constantly fighting. Many people have long fled to Hedong to avoid disaster, but some people are stubbornly guarding their homes.When the rebels came, they fled to the mountains. As soon as the rebels left, they went home and continued to cultivate the land. Although life was hard, this was their home after all.
The relocation of the population went relatively smoothly with the efforts of the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army.Aristocrats, aristocratic families, and common people in Kansai moved north to Hedong one after another.A large amount of money and food needed for the migration were paid by the Hedong House.
The wealth of Hedong Mansion needs to supply [-] northern troops with military resources, subsidize northern borders, and provide relief and resettlement for the people in Kansai who moved north. Of course, they cannot make ends meet.
Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou didn't dare to offend Xu Rong, so they agreed.It is better to give a little than nothing.As early as September, the imperial court sent special envoys to the Kanto and various states and counties to urge tax payment, but nothing happened, and even those envoys disappeared.
As for Xu Rong's proposal to jointly attack Guandong, Li Jue politely refused.Guanzhong is unstable and the army is not strong enough. The heavy responsibility of countering the rebellion should be borne by the generals alone.
Li Jue understood Xu Rong's intentions.Xu Rong wants to fight Guandong, but he is afraid that he will hit him from behind, so he wants to get his own promise.Li Jue said to Chen Wei, go back and tell Lord Xu that as long as he guarantees that Yang Feng and Zhang Baiqi's army will not enter the pass, I will never leave Tongguan.
Chen Wei left satisfied, and then Han Sui's special envoy arrived, and Han Sui urged for the relief money and food that the court had promised to allocate to Xiliang.
Li Jue and others were frowning, and asked the three ministers to agree.Yang Biao proposed to send ministers to take the emperor's decree and talisman out of Guanzhong to appease the states and counties and press for taxes.Li Jue scoffed.Now that the emperor's prestige has been lost, the imperial power is useless, states and counties all over the country are embracing themselves, and the imperial court is just a display.Now don't talk about sending ministers out of the customs to appease, even if the emperor goes out of the customs to appease him in person, it is estimated that he will hit a wall everywhere.
Huangfu Song looked up to the sky and sighed, and said helplessly, "The only thing we can count on now is Yizhou. I think we should send the son of Lord Mu Liu of Yizhou to take the emperor's imperial decree and go south to Shu County quickly."
Just when everyone was at a loss, the good news came suddenly that Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, had worked in Kuai Peng to Chang'an.Liu Biao said in his memorial that he respected the emperor and the court.The tax paid by Jingzhou to the imperial court is on its way to Guanzhong, and it will be delivered to Chang'an by the end of the year.
Liu Biao's memorial gave Chang'an a huge surprise.The emperor immediately decreed that Liu Biao was the general of Zhennan, led Jingzhou Mu, and became Wuhou.
The Son of Heaven made a decree to turn Huangfusong to be the Taifu, and let Huangfusong and his servant Zhu Jun go out of the customs with the talisman festival to appease the states and counties in various places.Fengche Duwei Liu Zhang rushed to Yizhou with the imperial decree.
=
Xu Rong said in a letter to Li Hong that Yuan Shao must have supported Liu Biao's sudden surrender.Without Yuan Shao's consent, Liu Biao would be betraying if he did so, and he would be attacked by Yuan Shao. Now Nanyang is controlled by Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao cannot send money and food to Chang'an.It can be seen from this incident that some changes have taken place in Yuan Shao's strategy. Does he no longer insist on rebuilding the imperial line?If Yuan Shao no longer insists on rebuilding the imperial line, he will regain the support of states and counties with different opinions, and his strength will develop faster, which is obviously not good for Hebei.
There is also the matter of Huangfusong and Zhu Jun going out of the customs with the talisman festival to appease them.Liu Biao suddenly presented his watch, honored the emperor and paid taxes voluntarily, which made some ministers in the Chang'an court blindly optimistic about the stability of the country.Li Jue immediately took advantage of this opportunity to drive Huangfusong and Zhu Jun out of Chang'an. He thought he was very smart and that he could completely control the power in this way, but he didn't think about it. Without Huangfusong and Zhu Jun's With deterrence and mediation, the ministers in Chang'an will immediately have fierce conflicts with them. After the conflict, there will be a mutiny, a rebellion, and the situation in Guanzhong is getting more and more dangerous.
Xu Rong also mentioned something that worried Li Hong very much.
If the chaos in Guanzhong continues, it will be very detrimental to the stability and development of Xiliang. At this time, Han Sui and Ma Teng are very likely to attack Guanzhong.Occupying the Guandong will also solve the poverty in Xiliang. Of course Han Sui and Ma Teng are willing to take this risk, but the emperor and the court are in Chang'an, and we will not sit idly by.In order to contain our troops and prevent us from attacking Guanzhong, will they contact Yuan Shao in secret?
Xu Rong's suggestion is that for the safety of the emperor, we should take the initiative to contact Han Sui and Ma Teng, wait for the opportunity to attack Guanzhong, and rescue the emperor.If we can occupy Guanzhong and unite Guanzhong and northern Xinjiang, we will be able to stabilize the country as soon as possible.
=
Li Hong thought about it for a long time, and discussed it carefully with the officials of the three prefectures, and finally gave Xu Rong a "play by ear" answer, neither agreeing nor objecting.
Brother Zilie is very thoughtful. If the northern border army can capture Guanzhong as soon as possible and rescue the emperor, it will be very helpful to the great cause of Zhongxing Sheji. But what we think of, Yuan Shao will also think of.Now that Yuan Shao has occupied Nanyang, he has already approached Wuguan. As long as he can defeat Wuguan, his army can directly kill Chang'an.If Yuan Shao unites Guanzhong, Kanxi, and Kanto as one, his strength will even exceed ours, so I guess he will quickly shift his attention to Guanzhong after stabilizing Kanto.
Yuan Shao has always insisted on rebuilding the imperial lineage. Only by rebuilding the imperial lineage can he completely eradicate the scourge of the Yuan Clan's genocide.If Yuan Shao captures Guanzhong before us, the fate of the emperor can be imagined. Therefore, whether we can capture Guanzhong is not important, the important thing is not to let Yuan Shao occupy Guanzhong.Whether Guanzhong is occupied by Li Jue or Han Sui, the emperor will not be in great danger, but once Guanzhong is occupied by Yuan Shao, the emperor will die.The emperor died under such circumstances today, and the big man has no possibility of saving it.
In the past when Dong Zhuo was here, we once said that in order to succeed in the reform, we must deliberately postpone the time of King Qin, but now that Dong Zhuo is dead and Yuan Shao has occupied Kanto, this sentence is invalid. Qin Wang, but how to choose the timing is up to Brother Zilie to decide.

In December of the third year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty (AD 192).

In early December, Handan.
Hua Tuo rushed to the general Xingyuan.
After receiving the report, Li Hong hurried out of the gate to meet him.Huang Da strode forward accompanied by an old man in simple clothes.This old man is about 50 years old, wearing a bamboo hat, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and carrying a bamboo basket on his back. It makes people feel very friendly.Behind him, there are several disciples in the same ragged clothes, with wooden sticks and bamboo baskets on their backs, some of them are very old.
Li Hong went up to greet him, and saluted respectfully, "Master Fan came here after a long journey..."
"The general came out to greet him in person, dare not be, dare not be..." Hua Tuo gave a deep salute, said a few words slowly and modestly, and then asked, "How is Lord Lu Zhi doing?"
Huang Da bent over and stood aside, and respectfully introduced Lu Zhi's condition in detail.
Accompanied by Li Hong, Hua Tuo strode towards Lu Zhi's military tent while listening, with a calm smile on his face all the time, without any look of being flattered, as if the person walking beside him was not a famous celebrity today. The great general of the world, but an ordinary person eager to save his loved ones.He didn't say a word to Li Hong from the beginning to the end.
=
Hua Tuo walked out of Lu Zhi's military tent, and slowly glanced at the many officials in Hebei who were surrounded outside the tent.
Li Hong, Zhang Wen, Ma Rixun, Cui Lie, Cai Yong and others stood together, looking at Hua Tuo anxiously and expectantly, hoping that he would bring a miracle.
Hua Tuo shook his head and said calmly, "Let's prepare for the funeral."
Everyone's hearts were instantly icy cold.
"Zi Jian said, the master can save Master Lu." Li Hong was disappointed, and said sadly, "Can't the master take a closer look?"
Hua Tuo smiled helplessly, bowed and said, "I've tried my best, so I'm leaving."
Li Hong looked at him in shock, "Master is leaving? In such a hurry?"
Hua Tuo bowed his hands to everyone and hurried away with his disciples.
=
Huang Da walked out of the big tent, bowed to Li Hong and said: "General, the master has given Master Lu acupuncture and left a prescription. It is estimated that Master Lu can last for a few days. General, this is a rare opportunity. I want to I'm leaving with the master, please take care of the general."
Li Hong was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "When will you come back?"
"A year at most, half a year at least." Huang Da said apologetically, "If I miss this opportunity, I will never find the master again. I have to leave." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to run.
Li Hong grabbed him, "Zi Jian, you're gone, what about Mr. Lu's illness?"
"General, there are many medical craftsmen in Xingyuan, and I have already arranged them, so you can let me go." Huang Da begged, "Master didn't want to come, he was so busy in Yanzhou that he couldn't sleep. There was no time, and when he heard that it was Master Lu Zhi, he came here in a hurry. Once the master crosses the Yellow River, I will not be able to find him."
Li Hong hesitated for a moment, then let go of his hand, "Bring more money and silk, and thank Master for me."
"Money is useless, if you want to give it, give it silk." Huang Da said anxiously, "Except for Beijiang and Hebei, other places are bartering now, and no one wants money. I will leave first, and the general will follow." Send someone to bring things over."
Huang Dafei generally ran away.
Li Hong stared blankly at Huang Da's back, feeling depressed.
Master Xiangkai came riding a donkey, "Hua Tuo left so soon?"
"You know him?" Li Hong asked in surprise.
"I have known him for decades, but we have only been together for a few days." Xiang Kai said with a wry smile, "Yuanhua doesn't think about anything other than saving lives, so he is very skilled in medicine, unlike Zhang and I. Jiao, always can't get rid of the mundane affairs of the world, but delays the medical skills."
"Then why didn't the master catch up with him immediately and leave him in Hebei?" Li Hong said eagerly, "Hebei needs Master Hua Tuo."
"The people who need Huatuo are not only the people in Hebei, but also the people in the world." Xiangkai shook his head and sighed, "Back then, the Taiwei Huang Wan used the bus to conquer, but was rejected by Huatuo. Huatuo used to save the world How can he stay in one place when he is his own responsibility? The general underestimates Yuanhua too much."
Li Hong was ashamed and said nothing.
"I haven't seen him for five years, I'm going to catch up to see him." Master Xiangkai hurried to the Chidao outside Xingyuan. .

In mid-December, Lu Zhi died of illness, and Hebei mourned for him.
=
Almost at the same time, Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, died of illness.
After Yuan Shao got the news, he immediately asked Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, to concurrently serve as the governor of Yangzhou, and immediately went south.
Yuan Shu also got the news. At this time, his army was fighting fiercely with Cao Cao.Although Cao Cao didn't want to fight Yuan Shu, he didn't want Yuan Shu and the Northern Frontier Army to join forces on the Yellow River.After he got Li Hong's promise, he immediately led his army to withdraw across the Yellow River and attacked Liu Xiang who was about to attack Puyang.Liu Xiang was caught off guard and was ambushed by Cao Cao, losing hundreds of people.While asking Yuan Shu for help, Liu Xiang quickly withdrew to Fengqiu City in Chenliu County.Cao Cao chased after him, and the two sides fought a decisive battle at Kuangting, ten miles outside Fengqiu City.
Yuan Shu didn't want to miss the opportunity to occupy Yangzhou. Instead of sending reinforcements to Fengqiu City to attack Cao Cao, he ordered Li Ye, Chen Yu, Lieutenant Li Ye, Lieutenant Chen Yu, Lieutenant Ji Ling, and Qiao Rui to rush south with 5000 troops to occupy Yangzhou before Yuan Yi. .Ji Ling's army encountered Yuan Yi in Xiao County in Peiguo.Ji Ling immediately commanded the army to surround Yuan Yi. After a bloody fight, Yuan Yi fled and was killed by the rebels.
Pei Guoxiang Yuan Zhong heard the news and led an army to help, but was also beaten by Ji Ling and fled in embarrassment.
Yangzhou was successfully occupied by Yuan Shu.
At the end of December, Yuan Shu did not receive the good news of occupying Yangzhou, but received the bad news of the defeat of Kuangting, the loss of Fengqiu, and the annihilation of Liu Xiang's entire army.
Yuan Shu panicked and asked Xuzhou Tao Qian for help.After Yuan Shu's army plundered Chenliu, before the New Year came, they hurriedly withdrew from Chenliu City, headed towards Liang State, and prepared to retreat to Yangzhou.
The bell of the new year came quietly amidst Yuan Shu's curse.
=
The first month of the fourth year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty (AD 193).
=
When Cao Cao saw that Chen Liucheng had been plundered by Yuan Shu, and that he and his family members had been kidnapped by Yuan Shu, he became mad at that time. He roared loudly and vowed to kill Yuan Shu.
On the first month, Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, Xun Yu, and Chen Gong rushed to Chenliu with an army of [-].
The 30 troops were all reorganized from Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers.During the Battle of Jibei, about [-] Yellow Turbans gathered in Jibei were attacked by Cao Cao's Yanzhou Army and Tian Kai's Qingzhou Army. Unfortunately, Sima Ju was killed by an arrow in the fierce battle.The sudden death of the general led to the complete defeat of the Yellow Turban Army.Guan Cheng fled to Mount Tai with some remnants, and Wu Ba fled to Lu State in Yuzhou with some remnants.After this battle, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army turned from prosperity to decline, and fell into a slump.
After Cao Cao led the main force to the north bank of the Yellow River, Cao Ren was ordered to stay and kill the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. He successively recovered Dongping, Jibei, Taishan and the counties and counties in the east of Dongjun, and recruited and incorporated about [-] Yellow Turbans. The weak, sick and disabled and hundreds of thousands of refugees were left in Jibei, Dongping, Rencheng and other places to farm.
Cao Cao reorganized his army and horses, braved the wind and snow, and hurriedly pursued.
After Yuan Shu fled to Xiangyi City in the south of Chenliu County, he stopped because of the heavy snowstorm. Unexpectedly, before staying for a few days, Cao Cao's army came to kill him.
The two sides fought for ten days, Yuan Shu retreated a hundred miles and retreated into Ningling City in Liang State because of the lack of food and grass.Cao Cao was also unable to catch up because of the lack of food and grass.
Yuan Shao intervened.
=
In early February, Tao Qian's reinforcements arrived at Ningling in Liang State.Although Tao Qian didn't want to help because of his bad relationship in the past, he didn't want to get involved in the Yuan brothers' internal strife, so he only sent [-] soldiers and promised to provide Yuan Shu with food and grass.
In February, Yuan Shu received the news from Yangzhou. He was very happy and hurriedly wrote back, asking Chen Yu to temporarily lead the governor of Yangzhou, and ordering Li Ye, Ji Ling, and Qiao Rui to rush to Peiguo with the army and provisions. support.He wants to take this opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and occupy Yanzhou again.
Yuan Shu scolded Yuan Shao and refused to accept the mediation.Cao Cao bowed his head to Yuan Shao, hoping to get Yuan Shao's help.Yuan Shao learned that Yuan Shu had killed Yuan Yi, defeated Yuan Zhong, and occupied Yangzhou. He couldn't help but hated Yuan Shu to the bone, and categorically announced that he would break up with him and provide Cao Cao with food and grass.
In mid-February, the heavy snow gradually stopped, and the two sides had sufficient food and grass, and fought fiercely again.
Cao Hong and Cheng Yu led the second batch of reinforcements to arrive.Unable to resist, Yuan Shu abandoned the city and fled.Cao Cao commanded the army to pursue vigorously.Yuan Shu had no choice but to leave Cao Cao and his family members behind.Yuan Shu thought that this would make Cao Cao give up the pursuit, and Cao Cao really wanted to give up, because when spring came, the northern army would cross the river.
But Cao Cao received a secret letter from Yuan Shao at this time.Yuan Shao urged him to continue hunting down Yuan Shu.Seeing Yuan Shu's repeated defeats, Chen Yu, the new governor of Yangzhou, was desperate, so he secretly took refuge in Yuan Shao.As long as Cao Cao catches up, Yuan Shu will die.
Yuan Shu withdrew to Jianping City in Peiguo.Ji Ling led the reinforcements to arrive.The two sides fought again, and Yuan Shu was defeated again.
Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, rushed over from Pengcheng with his army.He didn't come to help Yuan Shu fight, but to mediate.After seeing Cao Cao, Tao Qian advised him to lead his army back to Yanzhou.When you killed Yuan Shu, you fell into Yuan Shao's scheme. Sooner or later, Yuan Shao will use this as an excuse to kill you.
Cao Cao's morale was like a rainbow, and he couldn't listen at all. "Old man, you lied to me last time and let me fall into the trap of the Yellow Turban Army. How can I fall into your trap again this time? I will kill you and rob you." Xuzhou."
Tao Qian had no choice but to join forces with Yuan Shu, and the two sides fought to the death.
Cao Cao fought for a day and suffered heavy losses.He immediately accepted the advice of Xun Yu, Mao Jie and others, and withdrew his troops hastily.

Yuan Shu was very grateful to Tao Qian for his help, thank you again and again.
In March, Yuan Shu led his army to Jiujiang County in Yangzhou. When he was about to enter Liyang City, the governor of Yangzhou, he was greeted by a burst of long arrows.
Yuan Shu gritted his teeth in anger, and hurriedly led his army to retreat to Yinling City, the county seat of Jiujiang County, to regroup the army and raise food and grass.
At the end of March, Yuan Shu went to Liyang City.Chen Yu held on for several days without even seeing Cao Cao's shadow.He scolded Yuan Shao and Cao Cao countless times, then abandoned the city and fled back to his hometown of Xuzhou Xiapi.
Yuan Shu let out a long breath, I finally had a place to stay.

Jizhou, Handan.
During the New Year, Xiao Lan went to Hebei with her white and tender baby in her arms.The arrival of this little baby pushed the happy atmosphere in the general's Xingyuan to the extreme, and he became the most popular character in Xingyuan.
The general especially liked it, and would go to Li Wei's military tent every day to play with the baby for a while, which made Xiaoyu and Fengxue very uncomfortable.
Ever since they followed Li Hong back to Jinyang from outside the Great Wall, they rarely had time to stay with Li Hong.Li Hong kept leading the army to go out and fight, as if this kind of killing would never stop.They are always fearful, always suffering painfully in deep-seated thoughts, and sometimes they even doubt whether this kind of life will accompany them for a lifetime.After arriving in Handan, they were very relieved and happy to see Li Hong every day. Although Li Hong worked hard day and night, at night, the family could always sit together and talk a few words, which was different from the past. Compared to this, it is already a great happiness, the only shortcoming is that the two have never been pregnant with a child.
Sensing the disappointment of the two ladies, Li Hong hurriedly spoke out to comfort him, but the joy and laughter he played with the child in his arms still couldn't conceal his love and desire for the child.
In February, Zhao Yun got married.One is the youngest General Du Liao of the Han Dynasty, and the other is the daughter of the most prestigious Confucianist in the Han Dynasty. The grandness of their wedding can be seen.All the civil and military officials from Jizhou and northern Xinjiang came here, and those who couldn't come sent people to congratulate them with heavy gifts. Many kings of the Hu tribe also came from outside the Great Wall, including Zuoxian King Liu Bao and Ri Zhu Wang. Liu Ming, Hei Ling Wang Lou Lu, Hu Ding, Qi Shen, She Ying Tong, She Hu, Lu Huanyang, etc., the scene was extremely lively.
When Zhao Yun married Cai Yan this time, Tian Chou was holding a wild goose in front of the wedding procession.So the eldest princess asked the general in a low voice, will the most lively wedding ceremony in Hebei next time be Master Tian's?
The general smiled lightly and said, "I think that the next most lively wedding ceremony in Hebei will be from the Eldest Princess."
The eldest princess blushed immediately, and she was extremely shy.
