Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 297 Four Years of Jian'an
"The general of Yangzhou... Well, he is very famous, and I am also... thunderous, but this Nanzhong pacifier is just a position in the general's office, right?" Shamoko's mind was still a little confused.

In Yangzhou, who doesn't know that the subordinate officials of the General's Mansion are "Shangguan". The county officials and county officials who are nominally Han officials have a lower status. It is useless to look at their rank.

After all, after the Jian'an Year, the decline of the Han Dynasty became increasingly visible to the naked eye.

Historically, after Cao Cao ascended to the throne of Wei Gong, "Wei" was nominally a subordinate of the Han until Cao Pi completely replaced the Han and became independent. However, in Yecheng, both civil and military officials were proud to be officials of "Wei". He was a Wei official, but he still only had a Han official position, so he went to Cao Cao specifically to ask for his official position...

However, in Samoko's logic, he still feels that "imperial court" is more fragrant.

After all, the current "Han people" are not "Han people", but "Han people", and the General's Mansion... is just a General's Mansion after all. In Samoko's logic, it is somewhat unsatisfactory for him to become a noble among the Han people. Vision.

Of course, Shamoko didn't want to get rid of Bai Tu and contact the court himself. He just wanted Bai Tu to represent him as another high-ranking official of the Han Dynasty!

In response to this, Chen Gong also shook his head and laughed: "Now that Bai Gong's virtues are enjoyed all over the country, and the soldiers and people of Yangzhou are united, the Han Dynasty court has long awarded Bai Gong Jiuxi and the title of 'Chu', but Bai Gong's heart has never been restored to the land of Jingchu, so The Kingdom of Chu was founded without the name Chu. When Jingzhou is pacified in the future, the General’s Mansion today will also be the Kingdom of Chu in the future...

It is easy to hire a Han official to appease the envoy. As a lackey of the general's palace, I can guarantee to the pacifier that I can invite a general from Zhennan to come back... But in the future, the general should understand that the official position in the general's palace is the most reliable. "

Chen Gong did not forget to leave the impression in the mind of this barbarian king who was somewhat out of touch with the times that "the official positions of the Han Dynasty can be decided by me, a junior official in the general's palace."

So that Samoko won’t be able to distinguish between priorities in the future!

"Chu State? Is it the kind of Chu State that existed before the Han Dynasty?" Shamoko asked with bright eyes.

Chen Gong also didn't know what the concept of "Chu State" was in Shamoko's knowledge.

Just by looking at his expression, you could tell that he was mostly full of admiration, so Chen Gong nodded directly and said, "Absolutely."

"Okay! Then I want to be General Zhennan, and also be the general of the General's Mansion... As for the Barbarian King and the Hu King, Mr. Chen, please don't fool me." Samoko said with a look of disgust.

Chen Gong's face froze when he heard this.

Chen Gong never thought before that Samoko's values ​​​​are actually so different from those of ordinary barbarians. It can no longer be described as longing for Chinese culture!

At the beginning, Chen Gong represented the General's Mansion and promised to support Samoko to control the Wuxi Barbarians and Nanzhong Barbarians in the future. However, what he got was a blank look from Samoko...

Chen Gong could clearly feel that the reason why Shamoko was still willing to be a "barbarian king" for the time being was entirely to use the Wuxi people as his tools in exchange for merit and better enjoyment in the future.

Samoko's greatest ideal should be to become a Han noble...

However, with the cooperation of such a barbarian king, Chen Gong is also very confused about his routine... No, we cannot say "cooperation". Every time he hears this word, Shamoko will frown. What he wants is not cooperation, but serious behavior. The Han Dynasty will seize the merits in the future!
……

In the fourth year of Jian'an, in the light wind and rain before the storm, justice quietly slipped away from the hands of every prince and everyone.

War is still the main theme in various parts of the Han Dynasty - Cao Liu Alliance vs Yuan Shao, General Mansion vs Jingzhou, as well as daily Shuzhong vs Hanzhong, Guanzhong princes melee...

However, the core staff of all the princes know in their hearts, and everyone will know soon, that this year's "war" is just an appetizer!
The alliance of Cao and Liu was only deployed in Yanjin, Baima, and the most important Guandu area, and built a stronghold along the Yellow River ferry to prevent Yuan Shao from marching straight in. At the same time, in the direction of Xuzhou, troops were sent from Langxie County to Qingzhou. It didn't matter whether they lost or won. Cao Cao covers the flanks...

The "alliance" was inherently unreliable. Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who had participated in the Eighteen Route Princes' Challenge against Dong, were deeply aware of this, so the two sides used their troops separately as much as possible.

Qingji is a quiet place, and Qingzhou is the only one of Yuan Shao's four states on the south bank of the Yellow River. It is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Under the rightmost part of the "ji" shape, most of it is the Shandong Peninsula in later generations...

Yuan Shao appointed his eldest son Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou and visited the land of Qingzhou - Beihai County, where Kong Rong was originally the governor, was in Qingzhou. Finally, he had to leave under the pressure of Yuan Tan.

It is true that most of Qingzhou was brought down by Yuan Tan. Since Yuan Tan has military exploits, the status of the eldest son, and Qingzhou in his hands, under such circumstances, Yuan Shao actually had the idea of ​​making his youngest son Yuan Shang his heir. It does seem very confusing...

In the Battle of Guandu in history, after Cao Cao won a great victory, in addition to killing his enemy Yuan Shao, the real expansion of his power was actually just occupying most of Qingzhou, and still not setting foot in Hebei, Jizhou, the real base camp of the Yuan family, and as a Bingzhou and Youzhou in the racecourse were almost undamaged.

It was just the internal fighting between Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan that exhausted the foundation of the Yuan family and eventually caused Hebei to fall completely into the hands of Cao Cao.

At this time, the mission of Xuzhou Army is to block Yuan Army from Qingzhou...

As for the frontal battlefields in Baima and Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are still in the preparation stage, and this year is just a trial battle.

In addition, the past two years in Guanzhong have also been extremely lively. Although Li Jue and Guo Si were not as they were in history, they were beheaded by the generals and sacrificed to the court in the fourth year of Jian'an, but their power was extremely weak in the past two years, and even after losing the Han The emperor, and with the continuous famine in Guanzhong, he no longer had the previous prestige among the princes of Dong Zhuo's clan.

After Luoyang was burned down, Chang'an was also under the jurisdiction of the Xiliang clan princes and gradually became a ruined place...

It is said that Guanzhong was not only the land of Longxing in the previous Qin Dynasty, but also was focused on construction and management during the Western Han Dynasty. In the future, it will also be the foundation of countless dynasties and powerful separatist regimes. However, Li Jue and other Liangzhou warlords had wrong strategies from the beginning. Treating the people of Guanzhong as disposable consumables has resulted in the current population of Guanzhong being reduced to only one out of ten, and only a strong army without any strategic foundation.

In the past two years, the "New Liangzhou Faction" headed by Ma Teng and Han Sui has become more and more prosperous in Guanzhong.

When Dong Zhuo was still in Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui were considered "rebel" forces.

Ma Teng claimed to be after Fubo General Ma Yuan, but in fact he was not only half Qiang, but also a civilian. He made a living by chopping firewood since he was a child. Later, when a rebellion broke out in Liangzhou, Ma Teng joined the army, but soon turned against him and became a thief.

The main force of the rebellion at that time were people from Didao County and the Qiang people. However, Emperor Ling was still alive at that time. The cowardly group of Qiang people were mainly based on the kingdom of Didao at the beginning. After the kingdom was abolished, the Qiang people In name, the kidnapped Han Sui is the main one...

Later, after some manipulation by Han Sui and Ma Teng, they each took real power. After Dong Zhuo entered Luo, he became the actual master of Liangzhou.

In the later period of Dong Zhuo, in order to seek help from Ma Teng and Han Sui, he made them generals to conquer the west and generals to suppress the west. However, before they could lead their troops to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu...

Later, when Li Jue and Guo Si took control of the government, Zhong Shao and others initially planned to lead Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack Chang'an and rescue the Han Emperor, but it failed. In the end, it was Jia Xu's alienation that had the effect.

Nowadays, the "princes" of all sizes in Guanzhong can be counted on both hands and feet, and they are even more fragmented than the city-state system.

However, they can be roughly divided into three categories: one is Dong Zhuo's legacy and the old Liangzhou warlords represented by Li Jue and Guo Si; the other is the new Liangzhou warlords represented by Ma Teng and Han Sui; and the third is the Yellow Turbans represented by Yang Feng A warlord...

The third party among them was the White Wave Yellow Turban Army that Dong Zhuo had recruited and surrendered. It was also these generals who were mainly responsible for the alienation between Jia and Xu. When the Han Emperor returned eastward, most of the generals who responded were from the Yellow Turbans - to a certain extent, Liu Xie should really thank the Yellow Turbans (Liu Xie: Get lost!).

What Li Jue and others hate the most is also this group of people, but... if you look at the various warlords in Liangzhou from a game perspective, if it is a turn-based system, you can see that each unit is in a "food shortage" state. As long as you move a little bit, After a few squares, there will be a reminder that the army is scattered due to lack of food, so it doesn't matter whether you hate it or not. It will be meaningless if the troops are not sent to grab food.

The relatively big ones are the warlords of the New Liangzhou faction with Liangzhou roots. The people of Liangzhou did not expect that there would be a day when they could show off their wealth and food in Guanzhong...

However, the people of the Yellow Turban faction are not idle. In history, Yang Feng was Lu Bu when he took refuge in Xuzhou.

Now Lu Bu is no longer in Xuzhou, but Yang Feng is still in Guanzhong and the surrounding Bingzhou, Hetao and other places, working as a bandit with the status of a Han official.

And recently... Yang Feng and Zhang Yan have taken the lead.

Zhang Yan is the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, Yang Feng and others are the Baibo Yellow Turban. The Black Mountain Yellow Turban was suppressed by Yuan Shao and could only shrink into the lands in the southern part of the Taihang Mountains. The Baibo Yellow Turban had long been divided and was "begging" for a living in Guanzhong.

Both sides are black and white, and although the great ideals of the Yellow Turban Army have long been forgotten somewhere in their hearts, with the incense of the "Yellow Turban" leading the way, they have a tendency to stick together for warmth.

……

Bashu and Hanzhong continued to fight at intervals, but neither could do anything to the other.

On the other hand, Zhang Lu's Five Pecks of Rice Sect is doing better and better in Hanzhong - it is said that most of the people in Hanzhong at this time have moved there from Guanzhong, which will dilute the original believers, but... in these troubled times, it is a sect. breeding soil.

Not only is the Five Pecks of Rice Cult the "official" leader of Hanzhong, and it is easy to join the religion, Zhang Lu himself also knows how to support the people, and he also tries his best to accommodate the newly moved people and use them to reclaim wasteland.

In addition to having trouble with Bashu, Zhang Lu also never messed around, treated the people with mercy, and killed and punished with caution.

Being able to make the people of Hanzhong have enough food and clothing without fussing around is already a lot better than other princes in troubled times.

Of course, it's also because Hanzhong's location is good. As long as Zhang Lu doesn't mess around, no one else can mess with him...

Because Zhang Lu is both the prefect and the heavenly master of the Five Dou Rice Sect, Hanzhong should have the most stable public base among the princes at this time. Bai Tu is in Yangzhou, and only the Jinling area in the north of Wu County and the Shouchun area in Huainan can With such public sentiment, I am afraid it will be a little less popular in other places.

However, the Jinling General's Mansion can be said to be the biggest winner in the four years of Jian'an, and the only prince to achieve great results. Cao Cao and his likes also cursed Liu Biao for being useless during the New Year...
