After Cao Cao and Cao Ang and his son made a plan, Cao Cao began to take the initiative to contact the counties in Yanzhou.

Cao Ang was originally anxious to return to Xuzhou, but as the chaos in Xiapi Kingdom became more and more serious, he decided not to leave.

In the chaos in Xiapi, Cao Bao first rebelled in Xiaxiang, and then Xue Li, Zhou Kui and others from Tao Qian's old subordinates responded one after another. For a time, the whole Xiapi was in flames of war.

At this time, Cao Ang originally needed to return to Xuzhou to take charge. Cao Ang had thought so before, but seeing the scale of the turmoil, Cao Ang wanted to not return to Xuzhou for the time being to see who else would jump out.

The flies and mice danced so happily that Cao Ang was ready to catch them all.

Xuzhou already has more than 20,000 field troops and more than 10,000 county soldiers, plus reinforcements. As long as Yuan Shu does not invade heavily, there will be no problem in suppressing the rebellion.

Therefore, Cao Ang is not afraid of too many rebels, but is worried about the flies and rats hiding in the darkness, causing him to waste more energy.

Of course, Cao Ang was worried that Yuan Shu would order the army to enter Xuzhou, so he transferred Chu Ning and his pro-military camp in Qingzhou to go south to Xuzhou, with Guo Jia under the unified command to put down the rebellion.

At this time, there were beacon smoke and chaos in Xiapi. Cao Ang stayed in Puyang leisurely, either going to the military camp to order troops or coming to the county government to check in every day.

For Cao Ang, he had to make as many friends as possible with the civil and military personnel under my command, after all, he would inherit these in the future.

Within two days, Cao Ang's uncle Cao Bin also came from Dongwuyang.

After asking for permission to be a director, Cao Bin has been following Cao Cao to suppress thieves. Although Cao Bin's unit is part of the Xuzhou Army, Cao Bin regards himself as a subordinate here and obeys Cao Cao's arrangements.

This made Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and others quite reluctant and wrote several letters to Cao Ang to complain about Cao Bin.

Cao Ang has been blurring the master-slave relationship with Cao Cao. After all, there is no reason for Cao Cao to be Cao Ang's subordinate.

But Cao Ang didn't want to step in for Cao Cao, so he deliberately didn't mention it.

Cao Bin's attitude would only make Cao Ang's situation embarrassing, so Cao Ang also considered this aspect when he transferred Cao Bin to Bohai County.

At least for a period of time, Cao Cao is Cao Cao, Cao Ang is Cao Ang, and Cao Ang will not play a supporting role for his father.

Although Cao Bin was happy to be transferred to Bohai County and completely take charge of the government, he still wanted to stay in Dongjun to help Cao Cao defeat the thieves before leaving.

Cao Ang was worried that Cao Bin would cause more trouble if he stayed, so he quickly persuaded him to leave on the grounds that "the war in the Bohai Sea was tense".

Cao Bin is not sensitive to politics. Maybe one day he will say something and ask Cao Ang to give Xuzhou to Cao Cao. Cao Ang will be embarrassed whether he gives it or not.

Cao Cao did not have many troops, and he really wanted Cao Bin to stay and help him, but he was only a prefect of Dongjun, and he was not very stable, so it was difficult for Cao Bin to give up his post as prefect.

Therefore, Cao Cao did not stop him.

Cao Bin took his headquarters to the Bohai Sea. Cao Ang directly took over the remaining Xuzhou Army and reorganized it.

As the territory grew larger and larger, Cao Ang's military strength was also somewhat tight. Although this army followed Cao Bin in the past two years and did not fight many battles, they are veterans after all, so they are always more useful than new recruits.

So Cao Ang combined Zang Ba's and Zhu Gai's two separate divisions into the Xiaowu Division, under the command of the guard Ma Tong; Cao Yan was promoted to the captain of the Zhechong Division.

There were 6,000 people in the second song, and Ma Tong served as the right-wing center commander.

Cao Ang made three strikes, five divided by two, and reorganized the rebel army. Cao Cao was filled with envy when he saw it.

Cao Cao's troops only numbered more than 10,000 people. The reason why he was able to fight continuously and defeat the Black Mountain Army several times was that Cao Bin's troops played a huge role. This time Cao Bin went north, and his troops asked Cao Ang to take it back. Cao Cao's strength shrank by three points

One, it’s really uncomfortable.

It's a pity that Cao Cao can't say anything about this matter. It's hard to take away the troops from his son.

Cao Ang stayed in Dongjun for about half a month. News came from Jizhou in the north. Yuan Shao supported Liu Bei, the king of Hejian, as the prisoner in Xindu on the grounds that "the imperial court was young and forced Dong Zhuo. It was far away from the pass and it was unknown whether it existed or not."

The country, regent of the country.

Yuan Shao acted very quickly after he made the plan with Cao Ang.

Gongsun Zan pressed forward step by step, and his troops entered the border bridge and almost reached the door of his house. Yuan Shu in the south kept saying that he was "not a son of the Yuan family", which greatly suppressed Yuan Shao's strength and reputation.

For Yuan Shao, he does not have the strength to defeat Gongsun Zan in the short term. Supporting a supervisory state and rewarding his civil and military ministers and the aristocratic families in Jizhou have become his most immediate way to win people's hearts.

Therefore, the sooner the support is established, the better.

Liu Ye didn't want to be a prisoner. He knew very well that becoming a prisoner seemed to be a step closer, but he was young and had weak morals and it was difficult to convince the public. He might just become another Xiangqiang and die without a burial place.

However, Yuan Shao reached an agreement with the Hejian royal family. Although Liu Ye was a prince, he had no right to object, so he reluctantly became the superintendent of the country.

After Liu Bei became the supervisor of the country, he tentatively decided to live in Yecheng. He named Liu Yu as Taifu, Cao Ang as Grand Sima, Yuan Shao as Sikong, General of Traveling and Cavalry, and the three of them were appointed ministers together.

Other princes from all walks of life also received many rewards.

What is very interesting is that Yuan Shao also made his brother Yuan Shu a former general, but Yuan Shu was afraid that he would defeat his brother's good intentions.

Of course, Yuan Shao was not stupid enough to completely deny the Chang'an court, nor did he deny the official positions of everyone in the Chang'an court. For this reason, he did not even set up the Sangong and Jiuqing, but only set up a minister's desk in Yecheng to review the candidates, Xun Chen, Xu You

, Guo Tu, and Pang Ji were the ministers. As for the personnel responsible for the operation of the small court, they were mostly officials from the Jizhou Prefecture.

Regarding Yuan Shao's move, the princes from various places had different attitudes, but most of them were opposed to it.

After all, everyone did not recognize the Chang'an court controlled by Dong Zhuo. In addition to being anti-Dong, it was also because everyone was like a local emperor. They made their own decisions and did whatever they wanted. Who would want to have more than one father on their head?

Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and others took Yuan Shao as a traitor and claimed to "reveal against rebellion" and attacked Jizhou.

Even Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was quite dissatisfied with this and did not recognize Liu Ye's status as superintendent of the country.

On the contrary, Jizhou insiders are quite satisfied with this.

After all, Emperor Guangwu was born in Hebei and was able to conquer the world. People from Youzhou and Jizhou thought they had the most credit. But when they finally shared the fruits of victory, it was the people from Nanyang and Yingchuan who took the biggest piece. Even the Queen Guo Shengtong, who was supported by people from Hebei,

They were all deposed, and Prince Liu Qiang also resigned from his throne.

For more than a hundred years since then, people in Hebei have deeply hated this incident. The fact that the Yellow Turban Uprising set off such a great momentum in Hebei is closely related to this incident.

This time Yuan Shao set up the small court in Yecheng, which meant that the center of power was transferred from Henan to Hebei, and the center of national governance was also transferred to Hebei. This group of Jizhou people were overjoyed to celebrate without breaking their hats.
