Chapter 633 The first half of the first year of Xingping

Ever since the emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an imperial edict and changed Chuping to Xingping, the sky seems to have not heard the humble wish from the heart of the emperor.The thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, have fallen into a field of fragmentation and vying for the throne.

Yuan Shaoxiong occupied Jizhou, Gongsun Zan controlled Youzhou, Ma Chao controlled Yongzhou and its Sili area, Yuan Shu occupied Yuzhou and the northern part of Yangzhou, and Jingzhou was still controlled by Liu Biao.In addition, Tao Qian formed independent forces in Xuzhou, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.The situation before the warlords' separatism before the Three Kingdoms was so chaotic.It seems that a chaotic era awaits a great hero.

And so and so, the princes of all walks of life are still not satisfied.At the moment when Hanshi Central WeChat has dropped to freezing point.They showed their ferocious claws one after another, fighting for personal gain.Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, the entire first year of Xingping was completely contrary to the long-cherished wish of the people.

At the beginning of this year, Yuan Shao had another dispute with Gongsun Zan. After the battle between Jiyou and Youzhou, Yuan Shao set his sights on fighting for Qingzhou.After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor Liu Xie back, the princes of all parties no longer paid attention to the Han Dynasty.Yuan Shao privately named his eldest son Yuan Tan as the governor of Qingzhou, and ordered him to attack Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou who was placed by Gongsun Zan.Tian Kai led his troops to fight, but was repeatedly defeated by Yuan Tan.Soon, the Han court sent an envoy Zhao Qi to Guandong to make peace between Yuan and Gongsun.So the two armies ceased fighting, and Yuan Shao's forces entered Qingzhou.

In the spring of this year, Wei County of Jizhou mutinied, and together with tens of thousands of troops from Yu Du Nian of the Heishan Army, they captured Yecheng and killed the prefect of Wei County.In May, Yuan Shao marched into Chaoge and attacked the Heishan Army near Luchang Mountain.Besieged for five days, beheaded by poison, and killed more than [-] people from the Black Mountain Army.Yuan Shao then advanced along the mountain and defeated the Heishan Army in Mustache Ba, Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Digen and other departments, and beheaded tens of thousands of levels.He also fought against Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army in Changshan. Zhang Yan's army was very powerful, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of horses. The two armies fought fiercely for more than ten days. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and the soldiers were exhausted.So they stopped fighting and each led his troops back.

It can be said that the first half of the first year of Xingping was the dazzling moment for Yuan Shao under the family of the fourth generation and the fifth prince to shine.Under the situation of internal and external troubles, Yuan Shao worked hard, and with an upright attitude, he firmly resisted the internal rebellion and the external intrusion of Gongsun Zan, and completely established and developed his power in Jizhou.

It can be seen from this that Yuan Shao's original entrepreneurial plan was to occupy the river in the south, block Yan and Dai in the north, join the Rong and Di people, and fight for the world in the south. ——Like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty, it is feasible to first unify the north of the Yellow River, then use Hebei as a base, and use nomadic cavalry as an auxiliary to go south to fight for the world.It can be seen that Yuan Shao is a majestic and powerful man with great power and virtue, and he is not an ordinary second-generation official.

And this year, Yuan Shao was not the only one who also shone brightly.Although Cao Cao, the upstart of the princes, has no earth-shattering achievements.However, he continued to implement the policy of instigation and appeasement, and incorporated the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Jibei Kingdom.As a result, Yanzhou under Cao Cao's rule reached the peak of trust and prestige under his reputation of serving the emperor's loyalty and righteousness.

Not only that, but at the beginning of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao was under the influence of the Ma family's opening of the imperial examination.It was said that the Han court examined Confucian scholars. This time there were more than [-] participants. Those who passed the examination were awarded Lang Zhongguan, those who were ranked second were awarded Prince Sheren, and those who passed the examination were dismissed.Although the number of people in this palace examination is very small, it can be seen from this that Cao Cao is also actively changing his identity, from a prince to a Ma family, who has the foresight to regard the world as a great cause.

In the same year, Cao Cao also ordered the farmland to support the people and restore Yanzhou's agricultural economy.This article makes Cao Cao a level higher than other princes in terms of strategy and foresight.

The first half of the first year of Xingping was a very important half year for Cao Cao.He won the two decisive strategic decisions of "Fengdai Tianzi" and "Garrison to raise the people", and also incorporated 30 Qingzhou Army, which established the decisive position of Yanzhou, and it seems that it gradually began to move towards the status of being under one person and under ten thousand people. Tendency to dominate.Moreover, in early April, he also gave birth to a romantic, talented and very precious son Cao Zhi.

This year, Cao Cao was 39 years old.Although the first half of this year was not the most beautiful half year for Cao Cao, it was definitely the most proud and comfortable half year for Cao Cao.

At the same time, Jiangdong was not peaceful.A rising star is announcing his arrival to this era with his unique domineering demeanor.

This person's name is Sun Ce.The eldest son of Jiangdong Tiger, Sun Bofu.

In the early Han Dynasty, Liu Yao, the censor of Yangzhou, was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou. Because the state government was under the control of Yuan Shu, Liu Yao moved to Qu'a, Wujun.After Sun Ce conquered Lujiang, Liu Yao was afraid that Yuan Shu would continue to pursue himself, so he expelled Wu Jing, the prefect of Danyang, and Sun Ben, Sun Ce's cousin, Danyang Duwei, and occupied Danyang, and divided the village with generals Fan Neng, Yu Mi, and Zhang Ying. The key is to guard against Yuan Shu.

Wu Jing and Sun Ben retreated to Liyang.Yuan Shu sent Wu Jing and Sun Ben to counterattack, but they failed repeatedly.Sun Ce presented his jade seal to Yuan Shu, and after winning three thousand troops, he went south to Jiangdong to help Wu Jing attack Liu Yao.From this, Sun Ce started to march in Liyang, retreating troops along the way, and there were 6000 people in Liyang.After that, he got rid of Yuan Shu's control and started the cause of pacifying Jiangdong.

After arriving in Liyang, Sun Ce had the help of Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others.Immediately attack the two crossings of the Yangtze River at Hengjiang and Dangli, where Liu Yao's generals Fan Neng and Zhang Ying refused to defend.Fan Neng and Zhang Ying were defeated, and Sun Ce then went east to the Yangtze River and captured Liu Yao's barracks on Niuzhu Mountain, taking all his grain, weapons and other supplies.

At that time, Xue Li, chancellor of Pengcheng, and Ruo Rong, prime minister of Xiapi, took Liu Yao as their leader. After Sun Ce defeated Muling City guarded by Xue Li and Xiapi City guarded by Ruo Rong, he also broke through Meiling, Hushu, Jiangcheng and other places. Go straight to Qu'a, Wujun, which Liu Yao occupied.Liu Yao was defeated in battle and retreated to Dantu.Sun Ce led the army into Qu'a, appeased the counties, and told the people that Liu Yao's subordinates who surrendered would not be charged with crimes.So Sun Ce was able to occupy Danyang County and Wu County, and Weizhen Jiangdong.

This year is a year for Sun Ce to flex his muscles.Sweeping Jiangdong with a mere three thousand soldiers and horses as the starting point is indeed an unparalleled achievement of the Han Dynasty.The name of the young lion of Jiangdong resounded throughout the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, surpassing the trend of Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, who were known as the "Xiliang Splendid Beauty" back then. Young talents.

This year, there was another small episode, that is, Ruo Rong, who was attacked by Sun Ce, made outstanding contributions to the rise of Buddhism in later generations.The Futu Temple was built for Buddhism to penetrate into the hearts of Danyang, Xuzhou.

Ze Rong is from Danyang.During the war at the end of the Han Dynasty, because he was in the same county as Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, hundreds of people gathered to follow him.Modest envoys supervised the grain transportation of the three counties of Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng, and served as Prime Minister of Xiapi.Rong worshiped Buddha and believed in Futu religion. That is to say, Futu temple was built with Futu in three counties. It is a heavy building with deep and wide halls, which can accommodate more than [-] people.Every time the Buddha bathes, there are many fasting meals, and mats are placed on the road. The square is four or five miles away, and there are as many as ten thousand people who go to eat and watch the ceremony.

Ruo Rong's move was an indelible deed after the introduction of Buddhist teachings to the White Horse Temple until the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.Since the Taoism and Confucianism culture prevailed in China, Buddhism has penetrated the Han Dynasty to the east, which is a great cultural achievement.

However, this year, even though there were so many dazzling deeds that shocked the Han Dynasty, the precarious and prestige of the Han Dynasty was even more precarious.However, in the Sili area, Ma Mengqi, the head of the Ma family, still put on the most glorious coat of the first year of Xingping with the act of relocating millions of victims in Sili.The prestige is so high that it is close to the Han Dynasty, which has accumulated for hundreds of years.As a result, the honor of the Han Dynasty made it difficult to cover the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

And the events that followed seemed to be performed in accordance with the wishes of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.The princes of the four directions all looked at the Han Dynasty.Yuan Shu in Yuzhou also became restless because of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Ma Chao, and Sun Ce's great achievements. The situation in the Han Dynasty seems to be in darkness and turmoil, heading towards a chaotic road with no ending...
