Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 100 Birds and Beasts After the Birds and Beasts Scatter (1)

Cao Cao was annihilated by Xu Rong's entire army. Yuan Shao threw an olive branch to him. Cao Cao rejected Liu Yu's proposal to be emperor and did not join Yuan Shao's team. Location.Zhou Cang rescued him with a thousand soldiers and horses and finally gained some confidence. Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan took the 500 people they recruited and joined Cao Ren who stayed behind to make up another 500 people. They are still planning where to go to develop. Stay, it's too embarrassing.

There is a saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have blessings later.Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, killed Qiao Mao because he tried to borrow food from Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun. Cao Cao took the opportunity to occupy Dongjun and continued to recruit troops. Chen Gong, a native of Wuyang in the east of the county.Yuan Shao saw that his younger brother had gained confidence, so he asked Cao Cao to be the prefect of Dongjun.

When the feudal lords crusade against Dong Zhuo, the remnants of the destroyed Yellow Turban Army were able to survive, and the wandering Yellow Turban Army began to gather together again, and it rolled like a snowball.Because of the war, the common people couldn't survive and could only hug each other to keep warm. People kept joining this team, so that the number of refugees and refugees accompanying the army was close to one million.They lived by killing officials, robbing granaries, and plundering big households. They moved from one place to another, poured into Yanzhou from Qingzhou, killed Zheng Sui, the chancellor of the city, and then transferred to Dongping.

Facing the turbulent crowd, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, prepared to lead his troops to attack.Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jinbei, dissuaded him and said: "The Yellow Turban Army has too many people. Our soldiers have doubts and lack of fighting spirit. It is difficult for the two armies to win the battle. But because the opponent has a large number of people, the food and materials they carry must be insufficient. They rely on looting to maintain supplies. It won't be long. The current countermeasure is to first strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and stick to the city, so that the enemy can't fight, and when the food and grass are low and the momentum is low, we will send elites to attack them and we will be able to defeat them."

"Otherwise, General Huangfu and others have already wiped out the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, and what is gathered now is just a group of mobs. They have already been scared out of their wits in front of the officers and soldiers, and our army will definitely scatter and flee."

Liu Dai's understanding was one-sided. He underestimated the desperate desire of the Yellow Turban Army to survive.Bao Xin's opinion was not adopted, and Liu Dai led [-] troops to attack in one fell swoop, trying to defeat the Yellow Turban Army. Although he killed countless refugees, he was heavily besieged by the Yellow Turban Army armed with hoes and sticks.

After Liu Dai's death, Yanzhou fell into chaos without a master.Chen Gong suggested to Cao Cao that he go to Yanzhou to lobby and support Cao Cao as Yanzhou pastor.After Chen Gong arrived in Yanzhou, he hit it off with Bao Xin, and Bao Xin, the state official Wan Qian and others arrived in Dongjun to welcome Cao Cao to Yanzhou.

If Cao Cao wants to realize his rule in Yanzhou, he must first wipe out the Yellow Turban Army.Cao Cao believed that the Yellow Turbans were arrogant and underestimated the enemy after their victory, and took advantage of this weakness to set up surprise troops in Shouzhang to meet the Yellow Turbans.So Cao Cao and Bao Xin arrived at Shouzhang first, followed by the brigade led by Xiahou Dun.

However, Cao Cao miscalculated the marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army. Before Xiahou Dun arrived at the designated location, the Yellow Turban Army had already discovered Cao Cao and launched an attack immediately with the advantage of their large number.After many years of fighting, the Yellow Turban Army has trained many soldiers who can fight. They defeated Liu Dai and took a lot of armor, weapons and horses. The team was further armed, and the offensive was very fierce.

When Bao Xin saw that the situation was not good, he told Cao Cao to run away quickly.He led hundreds of dead soldiers to rush forward desperately, holding back the Yellow Turban Army to buy time for Cao Cao to escape.Cao Cao ran fast with his claws and flew away from the battlefield, but Bao Xin died in the chaos while covering Cao Cao.

Cao Cao met Xiahou Dun's army on the road. Cao Cao didn't know that Bao Xin was dead, so he turned back to the Yellow Turban Army and charged again to rescue Bao Xin. However, there were too many Yellow Turban soldiers, and many of them were brave and powerful. Cao Jun fought very hard. .At the moment of crisis, the thousand Danyang soldiers supported by Zhou Cang played the role of the mainstay. Under the leadership of Cao Cao, they marched forward bravely.

Knowing that Bao Xin was dead, Cao Cao offered a huge reward but failed to find Bao Xin's body, so he had to carve out Bao Xin's appearance with wood, and Cao Cao shed tears to pay homage.In this battle, although Cao Cao lost many troops, the morale of the army was strong, and the elite of the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses. Hearing Cao Cao's name, he was terrified.

In grief, Cao Cao once again assembled his troops to advance, defeated the Yellow Turban Army in three battles and three victories, pacified Shandong, and more than 3 surrendered.Cao Cao reorganized the surrendered troops, selected about [-] elite soldiers, named Qingzhou soldiers, and arranged the rest of the Yellow Turban Army to garrison fields.

Cao Cao became famous after defeating the Yellow Turban Army, occupied Yanzhou and led Yanzhou Mu.There is an endless stream of people who come to join us every day, including Cheng Yu from Dong'e, Yu Jin from Juping in Taishan, Man Chong from Changyi in Shanyang, Mao Jie from Chenliu, Zaozhi from Yangzhai in Yingchuan, Ren Jun from Zhongmu in Henan, and Ren Jun from Zhongmu in Henan. Jun also gathered hundreds of clan members, guests, and family soldiers to join him.Cao Cao took Cheng Yu as the Shouzhang Order, Yu Jin as the Army Sima, Man Chong as the staff, Mao Jie as the governor, Zaozhi as the Dong'a Ling to carry out the farming, Ren Jun as the riding captain, who was in charge of logistics support, Cao Cao also put His cousin married Ren Jun.

The exiled Cao clan came to Yanzhou one after another, including Cao Chun, Cao Ren's younger brother, and Cao Xiu, Cao Cao's nephew, all of whom were used as generals.Xun Yu came from Jizhou, and Cao Cao had a good conversation with him, saying that Xun Yu had the talent of Wang Zuo.Xun Yu also recommended Yingchuan native Xi Zhicai, and Cao Cao immediately became the mastermind after trial.

With both land and people under his command, Cao Cao worked hard to manage Yanzhou, and his popularity and prestige grew day by day.

However, there are still people who are right with Cao Cao. If he is not the prefect of Jiujiang, he will look down on Cao Cao in Chenliu. Cao Cao is still the same when he is Yanzhou Mu. He often speaks bad things about Cao Cao when he entertains guests. Born, Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was an eunuch. After he belonged to the family of eunuchs, his father, Cao Song, bought the Taiwei with money, and his position was not right.The second point is Cao Cao's employment. Comments on Cao Cao's subordinates are all from humble backgrounds. Many people are low-level people. Cao Cao is disrespectful to celebrities.The third point is the garrison system, which undermines ancient teachings, especially criticizing Cao Cao's garrison policy, and connecting some gentry whose land has been violated to resist garrison.

It's all right to say bad things about yourself, but the alliance also ruined the plan of farming. Cao Cao couldn't bear it and ordered Bian Rang to be arrested. Bian Rang was arrogant and rude to Cao Cao after being arrested.Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others tried to persuade them, saying that Bian Zong was a local celebrity who could not be killed.

Cao Cao asked rhetorically, "What is a celebrity? If you can't help the people, you can only write a few articles, sit in the house and drink wine, talk in a big way, reverse right and wrong, confuse black and white, and talk nonsense. You are a celebrity? Employers should pay attention to virtue and talent. Can you only see the family background? The farming is a matter of millions of people in Yanzhou and tens of thousands of troops. No one will be spared if they disobey the grand plan of farming." Cao Cao resolutely killed Bian Rang despite the dissuasion of the two men.

Cao Cao's move caused Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to be dissatisfied with him from then on. Cao Cao didn't know it, and the Yanzhou gentry hated Cao Cao even more.
