Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Cao Cao's behavior of escaping overnight just confirmed that the other party came to him to offer a knife to assassinate him.

This has really threatened Dong Zhuo's status and safety.

After the assassination failed, Dong Zhuo sent a large number of elite soldiers to chase and kill Cao Cao for hundreds of miles eastward.

It's a pity that one step is slow, every step is slow.

At this moment, Cao Cao had already run out of Sili and entered the border of Yanzhou.

Yanzhou has a vast area, and it doesn't traverse east and west like Sili.

Having lost the last chance to track down Cao Cao, the army of hundreds of people could only stop here and return disappointed.

……

"You bastard, you really are a bunch of bastards!"

"How dare they!"

……

Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo this time, but Cao Cao ran away quickly, but he felt sorry for those civil and military officials who were still staying in Luoyang City.

After being greatly stimulated by the assassination, Dong Zhuo became more irritable and irritable.

Even when facing Liu Bian, he didn't pretend to be respectful like before, but actually imprisoned him, but beat and scolded wantonly.

If Li Ru hadn't been worried that Dong Zhuo's killing of Liu Bian would spoil things, and had been desperately stopping him, maybe Dong Zhuo would have directly killed Liu Bian to vent his anger.

And such behavior, the impact can not be said to be huge.

Soon, through the relationship of the Great Han Zongren Mansion, Dong Zhuo's actions in Luoyang City were passed on to the ears of the clan clans of the Han Dynasty who were enfeoffed in various places.

……

In faraway Bashu, Liu Yan took the lead in publicly expressing his boycott of Dong Zhuo, and announced that he would lead the nine counties of Hanzhong County, Ba County, Guanghan County, Shu County, Qianwei County, Zangyang County, Yuejuan County, Yizhou County, and Yongchang County to separate from Dong Zhuo. Court control.

Since Liu Yan has been operating in Shu for many years and is the state shepherd with actual governance rights, in just three days, the prefects of the counties in Yizhou responded to Liu Yan's call and separated from the current big man.

Since then, whether it is the simplest laws, trade, or taxation and other practical things, Yizhou has been completely independent and is no longer under the control of the Han Dynasty.

More importantly, although Liu Yan didn't make a public statement, everyone knew that this guy must have secretly recruited a large number of soldiers in the territory to train the army.

Yizhou is known as the Land of Abundance, and the Chengdu Plain is vast and boundless, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture.

Liu Yan has been in this place for so long, who knows how much food he has now, and how large an army he can support?

……

And Liu Yan's behavior was like a signal.

Soon, Liu Yu, Mu of Youzhou in the North, and Liu Biao, Mu of Jingzhou also announced their separation from the Han court represented by Dong Zhuo, and would no longer accept all management transfers from the court.

As we all know, Youzhou is located in the northeast and borders the Huns.

With his rebellion, one of the few horse producing areas of the big man suddenly lost one.

And Jingzhou is known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and it is an extremely important commercial center for the Han Dynasty.

Such a place no longer accepts the dispatch of the imperial court, which is a fatal blow to the commercial development of the entire Han Dynasty.

……

Not to mention some local counties that were enfeoffed...

These counties are like the Wancheng Kingdom in Lujiang. Although the leaders are not local governors or state shepherds, they have a strong appeal in the local area.

And these people, their ancestors are the Han family clans who are serious... Now that Dong Zhuo's chaos has come to this point, and he is so disrespectful to the emperor Liu Bian, how can he save face for him?

You know, the words Tian Gao Huang Di Yuan are already very euphemistic.

In the big man 2000 years ago, the real situation should be that there is no emperor in the sky!

With the current level of chaos in the Han Dynasty, these domineering people in various counties and counties don't have to worry that the court will settle accounts with them one day.

The current imperial court is probably like a dog with a broken spine, unable to protect itself.

……

If the resistance of Liu Yan and Liu Yu is regarded as the first wave of counterattack by the Han Dynasty, and the resistance of Han family clansmen in various places is regarded as the second wave of counterattack, then there is no doubt that the third wave of counterattack is caused by the old Han dynasty. Those local princes who were rewarded by the emperor set off.

Even in a place like Lujiang, where the prefect has a strong actual control, the four major kingdoms under its jurisdiction, Juchao, Linhu, Lu'an, and Longshu, all expressed their dissatisfaction with the court immediately.

At the same time, the prime ministers of Juchao and Lu'an, who were appointed by the imperial court a few years ago, were directly killed by the local nobles.

If it weren't for the quick response of the defenders who stayed behind, Lujiang might even lose the actual control of these places.

……

Only Anfeng and Yangquan, because they are too close to the core area of ​​Lujiang River, and they are in the middle of the two most affluent areas, Shu County and Wancheng, so this time, there was no rebellion.

……

Looking at it now, are those rebellious princes really declaring resistance because of the kindness of the Han royal family to their ancestors?

Of course not.

……

There may be such people, but not many.

……

It is very regrettable but I have to say that only in those prefectures that have been crowned kings, they will really announce that they will not recognize the rights of the Han court with the intention of rebellion.

Because they all have the surname Liu, it is very normal for the same surname to share the same hatred.

And like those lower-level counties...

For example, Zhang Yan, the prince of Wancheng, or those who live in the nest...

The kindness between these people and the Han court cannot actually be said to be close.

Among these rebels, most of them just want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits for themselves.

……

The so-called name of Dong Zhuo's disorderly government is nothing more than a reason for their rebellion...

……

Chapter 8 Liu

In this way, at the end of 190 A.D., the big man was like a dilapidated thatched house. Dong Zhuo kicked him hard and collapsed.

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao's false edict was like a bright light in the dark night, shining into the hearts of prefects and state shepherds everywhere.

Is this edict true or false?

Is what Cao Cao said true?

This is actually not important anymore.

In a general environment where there is hatred for Dong Zhuo as a whole, as long as the aristocratic families and wealthy families that still have a little loyalty to the Han Dynasty, they all chose to spend their wealth and influence, traveling thousands of miles, to help Cao Cao recruit troops.

For example, the second-class wealthy guard family in Chenliu area is like this.

After the head of the Wei family heard about Cao Cao, he immediately spared no effort to support Cao Cao with 3000 yuan of family wealth, and donated hundreds of thousands of grains, directly helping Cao Cao raise a white flag in Chenliu, and recruiting more than [-] village braves. .

With the spread of Cao Cao's edict in the Han Dynasty, people from farther places also went to Chenliu one after another, and chose to join Cao Cao's rebel army to fight against Dong Zhuo, and return the Han Dynasty to a bright future.

……

Now with the support of Chen Liuwei's family, Cao Cao has temporarily settled down in Yanzhou.

Now that he had money and food for soldiers and horses in his hands, he didn't rush home at all. He specially wrote a letter and sent it to his home, calling his brothers Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others with the same surname to Chen Liu to lead the army.

Although the Cao family was famous for their soft persimmons in the previous generations, in Cao Cao's generation, they can be said to be full of martial arts virtues.

Whether it is Cao Ren or Cao Hong, they are rare generals in this world. Not only are they brave and staunch, but they also understand the art of war and the principles of marching and forming formations.

Cao Cao received their assistance from being alone, and his control over those generals who came here for his reputation suddenly more than doubled.

……

Apart from Cao Ren and Cao Hong, many generals also chose to leave their homes and go to Chenliu at the same time.

Just like the two brothers Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun.

Although the relationship between them and Cao Cao is not as close as that of Cao Ren and Cao Hong, if you count hundreds of years back, the two families are indeed of the same clan.

Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu this time, but he never expected that the two brothers would come to him from their hometown of Pei County.

You know, Xia Houyuan is only 12 years old today, and Xiahou Dun, his cousin, is only 14 years old!

If these two children are placed in later generations, they are probably still at the age of studying, and they are far from being sensible.

But at this moment, these two people have come to Chenliu to seek refuge with Cao Cao without telling their family.

The meeting with the Xiahou brothers made Cao Cao even more excited about the future development——

Don't you see, although these two boys are young, they are still more than six feet tall. In the Eastern Han Dynasty with an average height of six feet, they are like two strong little giants.

Cao Cao saw that they were powerful, so he arranged them at the front line of the army, as vanguard leaders, for training.

As long as they have more combat experience in the future, the two Xiahou brothers may not be able to achieve the heights of Cao Hong and Cao Ren under Cao Cao's command.

Even in terms of age, their upper limit is higher than that of Cao Hong and Cao Ren.

……

However, Cao Cao's business was booming. As he expected, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Liu Yu, the three prefecture shepherds who had given great support, were rarely quiet.

For some unknown reason, after announcing that they would no longer accept orders from the imperial court, the three assassination departments seemed to lose their vision on the strategic map, and were shrouded in the unknown again.

However, the three top powers surnamed Liu did not make a statement, and the prefects and governors below couldn't help but fell into hesitation.

Brothers in this troubled world, they all want to make a living... It's okay to scold Dong Zhuo for you, but if you really send troops to attack Dong Zhuo... Isn't it a bit too dangerous?

Among these prefects, opportunists still occupy a considerable part of the weight.

Therefore, Cao Cao's actions seemed to be very powerful, and the world gathered to respond... But unfortunately, Cao Cao could not expect a single person to come to this actual military power...

The reason is very simple, but it is because of the fear of future revenge from the Han court and the fear of frontier generals like Dong Zhuo.
