Chapter 28 The Situation in the World (2)
Chapter 28: The situation in the world (2)
At this point, Cao Cao became the legitimate governor of Yanzhou. He immediately began to rectify the military and political affairs of Yanzhou. Because Cao Cao admired Liu Bin very much, many of the military and political affairs of Yanzhou were governed according to the Youzhou model! However, he did not know much about the specific situation of Youzhou, and the actual situation of Youzhou was different from that of Yanzhou! Liu Bin himself was the first family in Youzhou, and he didn't have to pay much attention to those powerful families! Cao Cao relied on the aristocratic families and powerful families in Yanzhou to take over Yanzhou, so he governed Yanzhou according to the Youzhou model, just to make it seem plausible and inconsistent! But in this way, it also played a significant role! Cao Cao trained troops to farm, restrained refugees, strictly enforced laws and regulations, and recruited talents. For a while, the appearance of Yanzhou became a new one. The heroes and aspiring people on the ground of Yanzhou came to vote.
First of all, the scholar who defected to Cao Cao was called Xi Zhicai! Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia and Xun Yu were both students of Yingchuan College. He was born in poverty. Originally, Xun Yu and Guo Jia planned to recommend him to Liu Bin, but Youzhou was busy, and Guo Jia and Xun Yu both forgot this. Yingchuan was very close to Yanzhou, so he took advantage of Cao Cao! Originally, in the original history, Xi Zhicai was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu, and he was also Cao Cao's main strategist in the early stage. However, Xi Zhicai has always been in poor health, so he died young! After his death, in order to make up for his position, Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia to Cao Cao! Guo Jiacai followed Xi Zhicai's position! But now Xi Zhicai has gone to Cao Cao himself, which is considered a waste of Cao Cao! After Xi Zhicai surrendered to Cao Cao, he naturally had to worry about Cao Cao's career!
On this day, Xi Zhicai introduced a person to Cao Cao, who was from Dongjun (Yanggu, Shandong), with the surname Cheng, his name was Yu, and his courtesy name Zhongde. Cao Cao also heard of this person. Thinking back, when the Yellow Turbans were in charge, Wang Du, the county magistrate of Dong'a County, responded to it and burned the warehouse in the county. The county magistrate fled to the city, and the officials and civilians fled eastward with the old and the young. Cheng Yu, who was in his hometown, ordered people to investigate Wang Du and found that Wang Du and others could not hold on to the empty city, so they went out to stop in the town five or six miles west of the city.
At that time, Cheng Yu said to Xue Fang, a large-scale citizen of the county, and others: "Now Wang Du and others cannot live in the city, but their situation can be measured. He just wanted to take the opportunity to capture wealth and property, but he did not have the ambition to attack and defend. Why don't we go back to the city to defend one after another? Moreover, the city is high and the country is thick and there are many grains. If we return to the city to find the county magistrate and stick together, Wang Du will not be able to stay long. At that time, attacking him will be able to break Wang Du at any time." Xue Fang and others agreed with Cheng Yu's view. But the officials and the people refused to follow each other. At that time, Cheng Yu said helplessly: "The foolish people cannot make up important matters together."
However, Cheng Yu did not give up, but secretly sent several cavalry to raise flags and banners on the East Mountain, so that Xue Fang and others could see them, and then shouted, "The bandits have already attacked!" and went down the mountain to capture the city. The officials and the people saw the situation and could only follow Cheng Yu and the others. Cheng Yu finally found the county magistrate and defended the city together. Later, Wang Du and others came to attack the city, but they could not break through and were about to retreat. Cheng Yu took the opportunity to lead the officials and people to open the city gate to pursue it, and Wang Du was defeated. Dong'a got everything.
However, Cao Cao knew that Cheng Yu was so great, how could he let Cheng Yu go easily? He was respectful and humble. Moreover, after Cao Cao and Cheng Yu talked, they immediately met each other and became confidant. Cao Cao immediately appointed Cheng Yu as the marching Sima. After Cao Cao was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, also brought more than 20,000 subordinates to Cao Cao. Speaking of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, had a very shallow friendship with Cao Cao.
Thinking about Bao Xin was recruited by General He Jin, and took office as the cavalry commander. He was ordered to return to his hometown to recruit soldiers. After Bao Xin recruited more than 1,000 soldiers, when he came back to Dachenggao, He Jin had already died in a coup. When Bao Xin rushed back to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo had already entered the capital. At that time, Bao Xin knew that Dong Zhuo would inevitably cause trouble in the world, so he advised Yuan Shao to attack Dong Zhuo. Bao Xin said to Yuan Shao: "Dong Zhuo is now holding heavy troops and is rampant in the capital. If we don't take the opportunity to take action, we will definitely suffer losses in the future. It is better to attack Dong Zhuo just when Dong Zhuo has just arrived in Kyoto and the soldiers are exhausted, and we will definitely capture Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop." But Yuan Shao was afraid of Dong Zhuo's military power at that time and did not dare to take action.
Bao Xin then led his troops back to his hometown, recruited 20,000 soldiers, 700 cavalry, and more than 5,000 vehicles carrying food, grass and supplies. It was not until Cao Cao issued a proclamation that he raised an army in Jiwu. Bao Xin then served as the prime minister of Jibei and his brother Bao Tao and Bao Zhong raised an army to respond to Cao Cao. At that time, the Allied Army elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and Cao Cao served as the general of Fenwu. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also expressed their support for Bao Xin as the general of the defeated enemy because of Bao Xin's power. Afterwards, Dong Zhuo fled to Chang'an with the emperor. After Liu Bin pursued Dong Zhuo, only Cao Cao raised an army to pursue Dong Zhuo again. Bao Xin said to Cao Cao: "In the future, only King Liu Bin of Jin and Duke of Cao will be the one who can rule the world to correct the chaos."
When the heroes dispersed, Bao Xin did not surround Yuan Shao, and because his brother Bao Zhong died at the hands of Huaxiong, he went back early. After the death of the governor of Yanzhou, Chen Gong joined forces with the clans of Yanzhou to elect Cao Cao as the governor of Yanzhou. He was the first to respond. Now Cao Cao has officially become the governor of Yanzhou. Bao Xin naturally came to report immediately. When Cao Cao saw Bao Xin coming with so many troops, he was overjoyed at the time.
.Bao Xin was appointed as the governor of Jibei County. Not long after, another man led hundreds of people to join Wang Lang's recommendation letter to Cao Cao. This man was from Juping, Taishan, with his surname Yu, his name was Jin, and his courtesy name was Wenze. At first, he was under Bao Xin and later as a Du Bo under Wang Lang. Wang Lang felt that Yu Jin had a talent for a general, so he recommended Yu Jin to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao saw Yu Jin, he felt that this man was very skilled in martial arts and was especially good at commanding troops and deploying troops, so he appointed Yu Jin as the lieutenant of the Dianjun Academy.
Just when Cao Cao consolidated the power of Yanzhou and pacified the Yellow Turban riots above the ground of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao from Bohai also followed the advice of his adviser Feng Ji, joined forces with the prefect of Wei County Han Fu and some other Guandong generals, and wrote a letter to the governor of Jizhou Liu Yu, who elected Liu Yu as the emperor on the grounds that the emperor was young and controlled by Dong Zhuo, and elected Liu Yu as the emperor.
It turned out that when Yuan Shao was in Bohai, he relied on the good foundation he had built by Liu Yu, the former governor of Jizhou, and his wealth was abundant, and his own connections were wide. He quickly recruited many talents, raised more than 100,000 troops, and thus became the leader of the alliance when the princes gathered. But after all, after more people, the money and food were spent the same as flowing water. When the heroes dispersed, Yuan Shao himself did not have much food. Fortunately, the prefect of Wei County, Han Fu, was an old official from the Yuan Sect, and he kicked for Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao returned to Bohai and passed by Wei County, Han Fu sent someone to send Yuan Shao 200,000 dan of military rations to ease Yuan Shao's military ration crisis.
But after Yuan Shao's military ration crisis eased, Yuan Shao was encouraged by others, "A real man is dominating the world, how can he wait for others to send food for food!" On the other hand, he was not satisfied with the court composed of the nobles who were in Luoyang supported by Liu Bin, and he pointed at him. Therefore, he had many ideas. Yuan Shao originally planned to use his status as the eldest son of Yuan's family, establish himself in the Bohai Sea of Jizhou, and gradually erode the surrounding forces and develop and grow. But Yuan Shao's Bohai County, where Yuan Shao is located, is under the jurisdiction of Liu Yu, the governor of Jizhou. If Yuan Shao wants to expand his territory, he will inevitably have conflicts with Liu Yu, the governor of Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao is confident and capable of defeating Liu Yu, who only knows how to develop farming and rest for the people, he has a deep friendship with Liu Bin, the King of Jin of Youzhou, is well known to everyone. Yuan Shao is afraid of causing Liu Bin's revenge, so he dare not take action easily.
Secondly, Yuan Shao also wanted to get rid of the Luoyang court's injustice. But now the Luoyang court is the only government that can resist the Chang'an Dong Zhuo in terms of status. Yuan Shao himself also wanted to form one, but his fame was not enough. However, Liu Yu was not the case. Liu Yu was not only famous, but also a relative of the Han Dynasty, and he was also a master of Zongzheng, who was well-known. And the most important thing is that Liu Yu himself only focused on a hundred.
The surname is happy and knows nothing about military affairs. In the words of Yuan Shao's counselor Feng Ji, "Even if Liu Yu becomes an emperor, it will not hinder the development and growth of the lord. Instead, it can provide the lord with a large amount of military ration and money. The lord can completely take advantage of the support to obtain the title of the general, take the opportunity to control the government and control the real power. He put Liu Yu in a weak position, thus conquering all directions and unifying the world. Therefore, Yuan Shao retreated and prepared to support Liu Yu as the emperor.
But he is smart and others are not stupid! He makes a good plan, and others may not necessarily follow his plan! Yuan Shao's adviser Guo Tufengji is quite enthusiastic about this suggestion and thinks this plan is feasible! After all, everyone will have a chance! Being king and dominating is the dream of every man! But some people are not optimistic about this suggestion! Among them is Liu Bei! When the princes attacked Dong Zhuo and wanted to establish the leader, he helped Yuan Shao and offended Liu Bin, so he kept following Yuan Shao, hoping to continue Yuan Shao's power and achieve his goals!
Once he followed Yuan Shao back to Bohai! After he knew Yuan Shao’s plan, he just shook his head disdainfully! In Liu Bei’s opinion, it was simply a farce. With Liu Bei’s understanding of Liu Yu, he knew that Liu Yu would definitely not agree with Yuan Shao and the others. But Liu Bei was very interested when he saw Yuan Shao and others, so he didn’t want to make it worse for Yuan Shao to have a good impression of him. After all, Liu Bei himself wanted to use Yuan Shao’s power to develop, rather than really wanting to help Yuan Shao do it. So Liu Bei also agreed with this suggestion on the surface!
