Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 172 In the fourth year of Chuping, New Year's Eve Watch
At the beginning of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, there were not many merchants who were willing to become members.

Of the more than 20 merchants that were summoned, only fourteen eventually joined the Chamber of Commerce.

All beginnings are hard,

Now that the chamber of commerce has taken the first step and has successfully sold spices and other special products to Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places,
Lu Yan believes that it will soon be on the right track and grow stronger in the future.

The household registration reform in other prefectures and counties in Yanzhou took longer than expected, but generally speaking, the reform progressed smoothly.

Although occasionally encountering local forces that are not very cooperative, the people sent by Boss Cao have not only documents, but also knives and guns!
In a blink of an eye, the four years of Chuping have come to an end.

During this year, several major events took place in other territories of the Han Dynasty.

One, the north, Youzhou.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought several times, big and small, but the two sides lost troops and lost generals, but they still fought hard.

Later, seeing the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao intensified,

In addition, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, was worried that Gongsun Zan would collude with the local family, and that Gongsun Zan would lose control and abuse force.

Therefore, Liu Yu took actions to reduce Gongsun Zan's supply and discourage Gongsun Zan from fighting Yuan Shao.

But Liu Yu's actions angered Gongsun Zan,
He was originally dissatisfied with Liu Yu's policy of giving the Hu people Huairou,

After the two fell out, Gongsun Zan even ordered his subordinates to snatch the property that Liu Yu had bestowed on the Hu people.

The two verbally criticized each other, and the war of words has been fought from the local to the central.
This directly led to the widening of the gap between the two parties, and the deepening of the rift.

Later, in the winter of the fourth year of Chuping, Liu Yu didn't know if something was wrong, and he even had 10 soldiers from the garrison, and brazenly raised troops to attack Gongsun Zan!

Who is Gongsun Zan?He is a serious and experienced general of the Han Dynasty!
Regardless of whether it is a foreign war or a civil war, Gongsun Zan is an old man who has fought wars. A literati wants to solve problems in the way of a warrior?predictable result
Although Gongsun Zan was slightly disadvantaged in the battle with Yuan Shao,
But since he got help from some noble families in Youzhou, he has gradually stabilized his footing, and he can even expand his strength while fighting.

Liu Yu is a scholar who doesn't know the art of war. The combat effectiveness of the 10 people he brought with him is also uneven, and it can even be said to be very spicy.

Knowing that Liu Yu sent troops to encircle and suppress him, Gongsun Zan was naturally unwilling to sit still.

He led his own troops and horses, took the initiative to meet Liu Yu's army, and directly destroyed Liu Yu's army in the first battle!

Liu Yu, who fled in panic, led the remnant troops all the way to Juyong County, but he didn't expect Gongsun Zan's army to follow, and Juyong was completely conquered within three days.

Gongsun Zan later accused Liu Yu of wanting to be emperor, so he beheaded Liu Yu in the street in Jicheng.

After Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, died,
At this point, Gongsun Zan finally took full control of Youzhou.

Second, the East, Xuzhou.

Quexuan, who established himself as the emperor, united with the original Xiapi state Xiang Ruorong, and took control of Xiapi, Guangling and other places.

Because Ruo Rong believed in Buddhism, he built Buddhist temples in Xiapi and other places.

He also asked the people of Xiapi to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night, so that monks, nuns and Buddhists from various counties moved to Xiapi and other places one after another, and strengthened their control over Xiapi and other places in disguise.

In the autumn of the same year, Liu Bei and Tao Qian, who lived in Xiaopei, joined forces to attack Quexuan and Ruorong.

Because Que Xuan and Ruo Rong committed all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing and looting, the people under their rule hated them for a long time.

When Liu Bei and Tao Qian's allied forces approached Xiapi, the people of Xiapi immediately turned against each other to help Liu Bei and Tao Qian, and the scourge of Quexuan and Ruorong was quelled in a very short period of time.

In the winter of the same year, Tao Qian fell ill, and before he died, he finally entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei with all his heart.

Liu Bei ordered people to send the heads of Que Xuan and Ruo Rong to the Chang'an court together with Tao Qian's letter recommending Liu Bei as Xuzhou Mu.

So far, Liu Bei has finally become Xuzhou Shepherd in a legitimate way.

In an instant, he changed from a poor and homeless wandering force to a prince sitting in a county!

Third, Northwest, Liangzhou.

Ma Teng, the general who conquered the west, was rejected by Li Jue because he asked to see the emperor, so he joined forces with Han Sui, Zhong Shao, Du Ti and others to attack Li Jue.

However, the coalition forces were defeated by Li Jue's army, and Ma Teng and Han Sui fled back to Liangzhou.

In order to weaken the power of Ma Teng and Han Sui and strengthen his own power,

In the name of the imperial court, Li Jue stripped the four counties of Jincheng and Jiuquan in Hexi from Liangzhou, and set up Yongzhou to govern the four counties in Hexi, and took Handan Shang as the governor of Yongzhou to rule Wuwei.

Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, Liu Yan, Ma Teng and Han Sui, together with Li Jue and Guo Si who were entrenched in Chang'an and other places, gradually stabilized forces, dividing the Han world into fragments.

The era of the coexistence of princes has come to an end, and the era of melee battles is coming!
New Year's Eve vigil,
Lu Yan and the others are busy setting up the stove, placing snacks, water and wine, seasonings, and various meats and dried vegetables. That's right, the hot pot feast is about to start again!
This year is different from previous years,
Not only did Lu Yan have a big mansion, but he also had Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Yi Ji, Han Hao, Xia Houlan and other bachelors temporarily living in the house.
Oh, and the daughter of Luda next door,
Since eating hot pot at Lu Yan's house for a while, she would come over every now and then to fight the autumn wind with her small Fang Tian painting halberd, but she didn't treat herself as an outsider at all.

There is delicious food, and Zhao Yun, Xia Houlan and others accompany him to practice martial arts. How do you feel like being a prisoner in these days?

The Shou Sui wine in the Han Dynasty is generally pepper and cypress wine, which is a medicinal wine made from pepper flowers and cypress leaves.

"Pursue bad wine at Zhengdan, New Year's longevity cup. Cypress leaves follow the inscriptions, and pepper flowers come one after another."

This poem reflects the scene of people drinking during the New Year.

When everything was ready, Lu Yan smiled and waved to the servants: "I have prepared some red envelopes here, each of you will receive one, and get together with your family when you get home tonight."

The handymen opened the red envelopes and saw that there were a hundred coins in them, and they were overjoyed and thanked again and again:
"Thank you prefect! Thank you prefect!"

"The prefect is so grand!"

"This year, I can add a new dress to my child!

After drinking for three rounds, gradually, the atmosphere became active.

Lu Lingqi was so drunk that her face was flushed and her eyes were bleary. She picked up the small Fang Tian painting halberd placed by the wall, pointed at Lu Yan and shouted: "Lu Yan, I want to challenge you! How dare you fight this general?!"

Lu Yan looked at Lu Lingqi, who was full of fighting spirit, and pointed at Xia Houlan, Tai Shici and Zhao Yun helplessly, and said, "If you want to fight with me, go past the three guards around me first."

Getting angry for no reason, Xia Houlan quit immediately, "Sir, good men don't fight with women!"

Xia Houlan's words pulled Lu Lingqi's hatred away. She half-closed her phoenix eyes, stared at Xia Houlan with dangerous eyes, and said, "Look down on women?"

"Uh..." Xia Houlan felt that Lu Lingqi's aura had locked onto her tightly, and suddenly a trace of cold sweat broke out on her back.

"If I win, people will say I bully women.

If I lose, how can I have the face to hang out in the army in the future?
How to do? "

　There was an emergency today, I stayed in the hospital for a day, and I came back very late, which delayed the update.

　　There is another chapter that will be published later. As for today's update, let's postpone it by one day. Please forgive me.
