Chapter 202 The Two Can't Have Both

This news that Yuan Shao felt extremely uncomfortable and even made him a resentful woman was naturally Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos in Qingzhou and had already come to his Qingzhou to take advantage of the situation!

He stabbed him hard!

Although Cao Cao knew that he was in a situation where there was little soldiers and food shortage, he was suitable for rest and rest, but not for launching large-scale wars.

However, Cao Cao did not want Lu Bu to occupy Qingzhou, which he had long regarded as his own!

What's more, due to Cao Bao and the others, Qingzhou is in chaos now, so it is naturally very easy for Cao Cao to conquer Qingzhou by taking advantage of this good opportunity.

Although Cao Cao is still going to lead a large army into Runan County to destroy Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Liu Pi, and Gong Du, Cao Cao finally thought about it and squeezed his belt tightly and divided 20,000 troops. Under his rule, the civil servants collected the food and fodder needed for the 20,000 army as soon as possible, and let Xiahou Dun as the main general and Cheng Yu as the military advisor to conquer Qingzhou.

Because the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou were gathered in Linzi, the governor of Qingzhou, Yuan Tan, to deal with Cao Bao, who had occupied Le'an Kingdom and wanted to break through Linzi, the capital of Qingzhou Prefecture, so that there were not many soldiers and horses in the other counties in Qingzhou.

With Cheng Yu's plan, coupled with the courage of Xiahou Dun and the 20,000 army, the Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County were quickly occupied in the eastern part of Qingzhou.

There are six counties and states in Qingzhou, and now Cao Cao's army has unexpectedly occupied two counties and states!

Qingzhou was divided by Cao Cao!

After Yuan Shao learned this news, he scolded Cao Cao for taking advantage of the situation and scolded Cao Cao for being shameless!

After Yuan Shao was tired of scolding, he was naturally unwilling to be allowed to be Xiahou Dun. Cheng Yu led an army of 20,000 to occupy Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County.

So, Yuan Shao immediately dispatched troops and sent generals to bring him the Qingzhou army and Yuan Tan gathered in Linzi, who originally wanted to deal with Cao Bao and others, and went east to Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County. He wanted to drive away the invading Cao Cao's army and regain the Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County occupied by Cao Cao's army!

Yuan Shao, who had lost Youzhou and Jizhou, felt that he could no longer afford to hurt him, was very precious to his remaining territory, so he naturally did not allow Cao Cao's army to take away the land of the two counties and states.

So, Yuan Shao, who led his army to Beihai Kingdom, immediately launched a war, allowing the army he brought to fight with Xiahou Dun and Cheng Yu's 20,000 Cao troops, and worked hard to regain Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County!

...

When Yuan Shao led the army to confront Cao Cao's army, the army led by Lu Bu and Cao Bao had already rushed back to Ji County, Guangyang County, Youzhou.

In the front yard of Wenhou’s mansion, Lu Bu, who returned to Youzhou, immediately summoned a group of civil and military officials in Ji County to discuss important matters.

In an extremely spacious and bright hall.

Lu Bu sat high on the upper ground in the upper position, Tian Feng, Chen Qun, Cao Bao, Hao Zhao, Han Zhi, Zhang He and others sat in the lower head in the lower head.

"Bo Dao, Changwen, you two talk about what happened in Youzhou during the time when this marquis led his army away." At this time, Lu Bu asked Hao Zhao and Chen Qun.

As the chief general stationed in Ji County, the rear of Lu Bu, and Chen Qun, as a separate leader in Youzhou, they naturally knew better than anyone else about what happened when Lu Bu was not in Youzhou.

"Lord, Wang, Zhao, Sun, Li, Chen, the five powerful families of Youzhou, were disobedient to the rule of their lords. When the lord resisted Yuan Shao's army on the front line, they gathered 30,000 troops to cause trouble in Youzhou. However, they have now been eliminated by Zhao, Han Zhi, Yan Yi, and 20,000 troops stationed in Ji County! As for the five families of Wang, Zhao, Sun, Li, and Chen, they have been controlled by the army and are waiting for the lord to deal with them!" When Lu Bu asked, Hao Zhao immediately replied.

Wang, Zhao, Sun, Li, and Chen's five powerful families, Lu Bu knew that they were all top-level family forces in Youzhou.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the inaction of the court, some powerful families were able to own divisions. These private divisions ranged from hundreds to thousands, from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!

Moreover, these populations do not need to be recorded in the imperial court because they are only assigned by these families!

Therefore, these five families have 30,000 troops together, which is more than Lu Bu's troops stationed in Ji County, so Lu Bu is no longer surprised!

However, the 30,000 troops gathered by these five gentry tyrants is naturally not as brave and good at fighting as the 20,000 troops stationed in Jixian and often killed enemies in blood on the battlefield!

Therefore, under the killing of Hao Zhao, Han Zhi and Zhang He, the three of them, they were quickly defeated.

Dead dead, surrender surrender!

As for the five families of the initiators, Wang, Zhao, Sun, Li, and Chen, they were also detained by Hao Zhao and the others.

Lu Bu naturally would not be polite to these gentry tyrants who were above the top and dared to rebel!

Just like the Liaodong gentry who had rebelled in Xiangping, Liaodong, they naturally searched the houses and destroyed the clans of these five gentry families, so that they could clearly realize that they were living well, but they wanted to jump out and seek death!

These gentry tyrants who were above the top looked down on Lu Bu's origin, and Lu Bu also disdained them.

Lu Bu used a series of benefits to win over the civilians at the bottom. In addition to really not being able to stand their life so poor, he also wanted to win over them and make them recognize themselves!

In this era, the number of poor people far exceeded that of the gentry and powerful. Although they had no power or power, they could still play a huge role at critical moments.

At least, when Lu Bu wants to recruit troops, he does not need to recruit troops by Lu Bu for compulsory troops. These strong men among the poor people will come to hear the news and fight for Lu Bu on the battlefield regardless of his own lives.

Repay Lu Bu’s kindness to them!

What's more, water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it!

This is an extremely useful truth!

As a great prince, Lu Bu will even go further in the future. If he can get enough support from ordinary people, he will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and firmly sit in the throne of the superior!

Because, even if someone wants to rebel, he cannot bewitched these ordinary people who have been robbed by Lu Bu!

Without troops in hand, they wanted to create Lu Bu's counterattack was just a joke in the end!

Therefore, when both the gentry and the powerful and the common people cannot be obtained?

Compared with those gentry and powerful people who were above the top and could not subdue their own use, Lu Bu chose the ordinary people without hesitation, but with extremely large numbers, simple and knowledgeable people who know how to repay kindness!

Now, these five powerful gentry dare to provoke their majesty as the governor of Youzhou, so Lu Bu naturally would not let them go.

At the same time, it also made the rest of the gentry and powerful men in Youzhou who were ready to move know that the motto that Lu Bu has always admired: "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish"!

So, under the order of Lu Bu's "kill without mercy", Youzhou suffered another bloody storm!

The five powerful gentry who wanted to make trouble while Lu Bu was away were killed by Lu Bu's soldiers under Lu Bu's order!

The other gentry tyrants who were ready to move in Youzhou were also very afraid of Lu Bu, as if they were afraid of ghosts and gods!

At the same time, they also deeply realized a truth that if they were obedient, Lu Bu would not deal with them. If they dared to jump out to resist Lu Bu's rule, they would only be a sharp butcher knife, and the only way to raid the house and exterminate the clan!
