Rebirth Wei Yan

Chapter 300 The Rise of Cao Cao

When Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others were secretly planning to assassinate Dong Zhuo, in April of the third year of Chuping (192), more than one million Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army attacked Yanzhou, and then captured Rencheng (today's Jining, Shandong) and

He killed Zheng Sui, the Prime Minister of Ren City. Immediately afterwards, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was near Dongping (today's Dongping, Shandong) and defeated the government troops who came to suppress it. Then, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army moved to Shouzhang (today's southwest of Dongping, Shandong).

The smooth development of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou caused great panic among the officials and scholars in Yanzhou. The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was attacking Yanzhou, and Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai wanted to lead the army to fight. However, at this time, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin said to Liu Dai:

"There are now millions of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, and the people of Yanzhou are in panic. Now due to the successive victories of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, the officers and soldiers of Yanzhou have no morale at all. I am afraid that they are not the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army now.

Opponent! However, although the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army have many people, they do not have much food and grass. Most of them were snatched after the victory in the battle! Now we should gather the soldiers and the people to enter the city where we fought, and then strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and stick to the big city!

After a few days, when the food and fodder of these remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are almost exhausted, these remnants of the Yellow Turban Army will be in a dilemma. They cannot fight but cannot attack, and they will definitely retreat in the end! Then, except for some soldiers to defend the city, the rest of the army will attack

These remnants of the Yellow Turban Army will definitely defeat the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop when the time comes!"

Although Bao Xin's plan was good, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, did not adopt it. Instead, he insisted on leading his army to a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army. As Bao Xin expected, he was finally defeated by the Yellow Turban Army. Even Liu Dai himself was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army.

The army killed him!

When the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou invaded Yanzhou and killed Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, Yanzhou was shaken. At this time, Chen Gong, a subordinate of Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, who got the news, persuaded Yanzhou to rule the country. Don't wait to welcome Cao Cao into Yanzhou. Cao Cao's general Chen Gong of Dongjun

Gong said to Cao Cao: "Now that Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, has died, Yanzhou has become the main place, and now His Majesty is far away in Chang'an, controlled by the old thief Dong Zhuo. This can be said to be the end of the king's life! Now Gong goes to lobby Yanzhou

Gang Ji and others in the army invite the lord to take over Yanzhou! Then the lord can use Yanzhou as a basis to fight for hegemony in the world!"

Soon after, Chen Gong went to Yanzhou to bid farewell to Yanzhou. Zhizhong said: "The world is in turmoil now, and now Yanzhou has become the land of the Lord! My lord Caodong County is a man of destiny. If you welcome my Lord to Yanzhou now,

, we will definitely defeat the Yellow Turban Army and then develop people’s livelihood!”

Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei who was always friendly with Cao Cao, also tried his best to support Cao Cao. So Wan Qian and Bao Xin went to Dongjun in Yanzhi to welcome Cao Cao as the shepherd of Yanzhou. After Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he immediately joined forces with Bao Xin to block the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in Shou

In the eastern suburbs of Zhang (now southwest of Dongping, Shandong), the two armies fought fiercely. The Yellow Turban army had been in battle formation for a long time, and they were all capable soldiers. They killed Bao Xin in the formation. Cao Cao took the lead and inspired the soldiers. After fierce battles day and night, they finally drove out the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou.

Feng Zhang. In September of that year, Cao Cao led his army to pursue and defeated all the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the Jibei area.

The Yellow Turbans surrendered, and Cao Cao captured more than 300,000 surrendered soldiers and more than a million men and women. He then selected the elite Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou to form an army, named "Qingzhou Soldiers." From then on, Cao Cao's strength greatly increased. At the same time, the court heard that

Knowing that Liu Dai was killed in battle, he changed his attack and appointed Yin Jinshang of Jingzhao as the governor of Yanzhou. Cao Cao met Jinshang on the way, and Jinshang escaped. So Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou.

However, during this battle, when Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin fought with the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao delayed in helping Bao Xin who was in danger. In the end, Bao Xin was killed by the Yellow Turban Army! And this scene was being captured by Chen Gong And the nobles in Yanzhou saw that not long after, Chen Gong left Cao Cao, and the nobles in Yanzhou also separated from Cao Cao!

After Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, he enlisted Chen Liu and Mao Jie to rule the country. Mao Jie said to Cao Cao: "Nowadays, the country is divided, the monarch is in exile, the people are unemployed, hungry and in exile. The government has no reserves to last for a year, and the people have no peace of mind. , this situation is difficult to last. Although Yuan Shao and Liu Biao had many soldiers and people and strong strength, they did not have long-term considerations and did not establish the foundation and build the fundamental people. In the matter of using troops, only those who are in line with justice can win, and it is necessary to preserve power and position. Financial resources, therefore, should support the emperor to order those who are unwilling to surrender, devote themselves to farming and accumulate military supplies, so that the great cause of domination and kingship can be successful. Cao Cao solemnly adopted his advice and transferred him to He is a meritorious official of the shogunate.[

Mao Jie, courtesy name Xiaoxian, was born in Pingqiu (now Fengqiu, Henan Province) in Chenliu. He was a county official when he was young and was known for his integrity and justice. Due to the war, he planned to go to Jingzhou to escape the chaos. However, he learned about Liu Biao's lax government orders and the constant war in Jingzhou. So he moved to Luyang. Later, he took refuge with Cao Cao and proposed the strategic plan of "serving the emperor's orders but not ministers, cultivating crops and raising military supplies", which was appreciated by Cao Cao. Later, Mao Jie and Cui Yan presided over the election, and all the people they used were selected. He was an upright and upright man. Mao Jie was also very honest, which aroused the trend of honesty in the world. Even the noble and favored ministers did not dare to be too luxurious in their clothes and vehicles. Mao Jie and Cui Yan changed their style and made Cao Cao great. He appreciated him and Cao Pi also went to visit him personally. This is a story later.

After Cao Cao heard what Mao Jie said, he sent an envoy to Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, and wanted to take the road west to Chang'an, but Zhang Yang refused. Later, he decided who Tao Dong Zhao should lobby Zhang Yang: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are from the same family, but they are not of the same mind. Soon Qun. Although Cao Cao is weak now, he is a rare hero in the world. We should make friends with integrity. Now that we are destined, we should allow his envoys to use the road and report Cao Cao's achievements! After this is done, , it will definitely be good for you."

Dong Zhao, courtesy name Gongren, was born in Dingtao, Jiyin (today's Dingtao, Shandong). He was a counselor and minister in the early years of Cao Wei. He was a former official of Yuan Shao and had many meritorious services. He left due to slander and became Zhang Yang's counselor. Later, he followed Zhang Yang to welcome the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian was worshiped as Yilang. Dong Zhao suggested that Cao Cao move Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xuchang. From then on, he became Cao Cao's counselor and was deeply trusted by Cao Cao. Later, at Dong Zhao's suggestion, Cao Cao added nine tins and became the Duke of Wei and the King of Wei. .During the reigns of Cao Pi and Cao Rui, Dong Zhao also had many plans. He was promoted to Situ and granted the title of Marquis of Leping.

Later, Zhang Yang agreed to Dong Zhao's suggestion. Dong Zhao also personally wrote letters to Li Jue, Guo Si and others for Cao Cao, and then bribed Li Jue, Guo Si and others' cronies with large sums of money! Guandong wanted to establish himself as emperor, and now Cao Cao Although the envoy was sent, it was not out of his true intentions. So they discussed detaining Cao Cao's envoy and refused to accept his sincerity.

Zhong Yao, the minister of Huangmen, said to Li Jue, Guo Si and others: "Nowadays, heroes have risen together, and various places have imposed orders and autocracy. Now only Yanzhou, which is occupied by Cao Cao, is still obedient to the imperial court. Although it is a bit untrue, this is not what you are saying." Is that what you hope for?!" Later, Li Jue, Guo Si and others agreed with Zhong Yao's opinion, but still excluded Jin Shang from being the governor of Yanzhou, and then sent Zhong Yao to Yanzhou as an envoy of the imperial court!

Zhong Yao, courtesy name Yuanchang, was a native of Changshe, Yingchuan. When he was young, he had an extraordinary appearance and extraordinary intelligence. He once went to Luoyang with his uncle Zhong Yu, and met a face teller on the way. When the face teller saw Zhong Yao's appearance, he was attracted by it.

Zhong Yu said: "This child looks rich, but he will have the bad luck of being flooded. Please be careful when walking."

As a result, after walking less than ten miles, when crossing the bridge, the horse Zhong Yao was riding suddenly panicked. Zhong Yao was overturned into the water and almost drowned. When Zhong Yu saw that the fortune teller's words came true, he became more and more worried.

He admired Zhong Yao and provided him with money so that he could concentrate on his studies.

In his early years, Zhong Yao had an extraordinary appearance and extraordinary intelligence. He served successively as Shangshulang, Huangmen Shilang and other positions. He contributed greatly to helping Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty return to the east, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wuting in the East. Later, he was entrusted with an important task by Cao Cao, and was appointed as Sili Xiaowei, guarding Guanzhong.

Outstanding. He was transferred to the former military advisor for his meritorious service. The Wei State was established, he was appointed as Dali, and was promoted to the prime minister. Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, was appointed as a Ting Wei, and was granted the title of Gao Gao Xiang Marquis. Later he was moved to the Tai Wei position and was granted the title of Pingyang Township Marquis. Together with Hua Xin and Wang Lang

He was also named Sangong. Emperor Ming succeeded to the throne, moved to Taifu, and was granted the title of Marquis of Dingling.

After learning that Cao Cao occupied the entire Yanzhou, in order to eliminate Yuan Shao's ally Cao Cao, Yuan Shu teamed up with Jin Shang, the governor of Yanzhou appointed by the imperial court, to attack Yanzhou.

Yuan Shu stationed his troops in Fengqiu, and then the remaining Black Mountain bandits and the Xiongnu Yu Fuluo assisted in the battle. They fought with Cao Cao in Kuangting, but were defeated. Yuan Shu retreated to Yongqiu and returned south to Shouchun, but the guard Chen Yu refused to give way.

When he entered the city, Yuan Shu retreated to Yinling and gathered his troops to attack Chen Yu, who fled back to Xiapi.

Soon after, Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou Runan, died of illness. Yuan Shao appointed Yuan Yi to lead Yangzhou in the name of the general leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces and the cavalry general. After hearing this, Yuan Shu led his troops to defeat Yuan Yi. Yuan Yi fled to Xiapei.

At that time, he was killed by Yuan Shu's soldiers. Later, Yuan Shu appointed Chen Yu as the governor of Yangzhou. However, this Chen Yu was just a puppet in Yuan Shu's hands!

Yuan Yi was given the courtesy name Boye, and was Yuan Shaocong's brother. He was the magistrate of Chang'an at first, and later the governor of Shanyang. Zhang Chao in the past Hejian passed the legacy to Taiwei Zhu Jun, saying that the legacy "has the spirit of the crown prince, the measure of the time when he was in power, and his loyalty."

Bright and straight, Gu Tian controls it; if it is to include records, manage hundreds of families, climb high and be gifted, and have famous horses and animals, it is today that only Miao Yan and his wife can do it." Cao Cao commented: "When you grow up and can be a diligent scholar, you can only be a diligent scholar.

Yuan Boye and I." In the first year of Chuping (AD 190), as a prince, he participated in the crusade against Dong Zhuo and stationed troops in jujube. Although Yuan Yi was a member of the Yuan family, he was on good terms with Yuan Shao and had a poor relationship with Yuan Shu.

So in the end Yuan Shu showed no mercy and killed him directly!

Soon after, Yuan Shu led the rest of his troops to Jiujiang County, where he led Yangzhou Mu, also known as Xuzhou Bo, and made generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui generals. After Li Jue and others invaded Chang'an, they wanted to make friends with Yuan Shu, so they granted him the title of general.

General Hussar, on holiday, went to Yangzhai Marquis, and sent Taifu Ma Rixi to various places to hold conferment ceremonies for the generals and marquises. However, Yuan Shu snatched the military talisman that Ma Rixi was carrying, and then took it away.

He will be imprisoned and will not be released.
