Summer is gone, cold is coming, spring is coming again, and before you know it, another year has passed.
During this year, there were more or less wars in the eight states of You, Hebei, Qing, Yu, Yang, Jiao, Yi, and Yan.
The Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty, including the newly established He Prefecture, the separated Si Prefecture and Yong Prefecture, should now be the Fifteen Prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty, and more than half of them have more or less wars.
In this year, many forces perished. Several of the twenty-two princes in the once vigorous Alliance to Defeat Dong had disappeared in just one year.
The first two people to disappear were Kong Rong and Han Fu. Fortunately, Kong Rong, although he lost Beihai, and his general who joined Liangshan was given to Liu Bei as a big gift package, but at least he still had his life.
Now, with Liu Bei's protection, my life has been relatively smooth.
But Han Fu was once the leader of a state after all, and he committed suicide in such a cowardly way. In fact, he had already given up Jizhou, and since Yuan Shao had no interest in causing trouble for him anymore.
But who knew that Han Fu would actually get it wrong, thinking that Yuan Shao was still unwilling to let him go, so he was so frightened that he ran to commit suicide. The most special thing was that he committed suicide in the toilet.
Yuan Shao was quite speechless after receiving the news.
But Han Fu's death gave Gongsun Zan an opportunity, which directly set off a wave of public opinion war in the Three Kingdoms version. As a result, Yuan Shao was busy dealing with the public relations crisis for a long time.
Of course, Yuan Shao was not idle when dealing with the public relations crisis. While confronting Gongsun Zan, he also dealt with other minor princes in Jizhou.
Needless to say, Yuan Yi, the Prime Minister of the Changshan Kingdom, had no ambitions. In addition, we were all members of the same family, so he just handed over the Changshan Kingdom to Yuan Shao. And Yuan Shao did not treat this wise tribesman badly, and the high-ranking officials were generous and generous.
Que. Seeing that his arm could not twist his thigh, Zhang Miao gave up on Zhao County and surrendered directly to Yuan Shao. However, he himself went south to Yanzhou to find Cao Mengde, whom he admired quite a lot.
Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, made a time lag and sent troops to capture Anping and Julu counties while Yuan Shao was consolidating the forces in Jizhou. From then on, Yuan Shao controlled six of the nine counties in Jizhou, while Gongsun Zan supported them.
three.
In addition to these princes, the next most serious problem was Yuzhou. After Yuan Shu obtained the imperial seal, his ambitions greatly increased and he directly started to conquer the entire Yuzhou.
In addition to Yuan Shu, Yuzhou also had figures like Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian. Sun Jian was naturally not a peaceful master, especially after being assisted by his clan brother Sun Wu, he also began to have ambitions to expand his territory.
With these two people making such a fuss, Kong Niao, Bao Xin and other small princes in Yuzhou would not be able to live in peace. Even Cao Cao of Yanzhou took advantage of the chaos in Yuzhou to send troops to take advantage of this talent in Yingchuan County.
The cradle was held in his hands.
With the war that lasted this year, the prototype of Yuzhou's power was basically determined. Among the counties in Yuzhou, Cao Mengde took advantage of the chaos and took Yingchuan County. After all, Yuan Shu had a strong foundation and a large number of troops. Even if Sun Jian had Sun Wu,
As a military sage, he had the upper hand in the early stage and captured Chen County, Yiyang County, Yang'an County, Xiangcheng County, and Ruyin County, while Sun Jian only captured Liang, Pei, and Qiao.
Three counties.
However, the next battle between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian made him feel uncomfortable. With Sun Wu, a god-level commander, even though Yuan Shu's military strength was much higher than that of Sun Jian, he was taught a lesson and lost troops and generals one after another. Yuan Shu was sent to the front line
The generals who fought almost doubted their life.
However, Yuan Shu's background was really deep. Even though Yuan Shu was defeated several times, his power was still not comparable to that of Sun Jian. However, Yuan Shu was forced by Sun Jian to temporarily give up attacking Sun Jian and chose to temporarily defend.
In the land of Yangzhou, Zhu Yuanzhang still chose to let Hong Xiuquan go for the time being. After all, Hong Xiuquan was not a big threat to him, and keeping him had some uses.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did not give up the pace of expansion. Although he did not touch Hong Xiuquan for the time being, he made plans for other counties in Yangzhou.
The princes in Jiangdong are really too weak. Even the little overlord Sun Ce can easily defeat them, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor who had the lowest starting point but still established a generation of hegemony. Then Zhu Yuanzhang started with a bowl level.
It's not just talk.
Yuzhang and Kuaiji were easily taken into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands. The territory of these two places and these two counties is really large. In terms of light road area, it is almost comparable to some smaller states. Of course, winning these two places is really big.
After two places, it means that Zhu Yuanzhang must face the threat of Shanyue.
At the same time, during this period, Cao Cao also joined forces with Liu Dai and Tao Qian to fight against Chi You of Yanzhou.
After this battle, no one knew who gained the upper hand in the end. Cao Mengde was lucky enough to defeat Jiyin County, but his two allies suffered heavy losses.
Liu Dai died directly in this battle, and his remaining forces were naturally annexed by Cao Mengde.
As for Tao Qian, his confidant Cao Bao unfortunately died on the battlefield. I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or intentional. Anyway, when there was no suitable candidate afterwards, the man in Cao Bao’s hands
Tao Qian, an elite soldier, could only be temporarily handed over to Zhao Kuangyin to lead.
Among this battle, the one that shocked the world the most was the battle between Cao Cao's most powerful general, You Liang, and Chi You. The elder You Liang was indeed brave, but there was still a small distance compared to Chi You, who was at the peak of his powers.
Yes, the two sides finally fought for nearly 200 rounds and ended with Chi You's victory.
But it's a pity that although Chi You has the ability to defeat You Liang, Chi You can't stop You Liang if he wants to run away.
In more than a year, it was enough for Xiang Yu to completely capture the land of Jiaozhou. In fact, Xiang Yu not only completely captured this place, but also went to Yizhou for a tour.
However, Yizhou is famous for its difficult terrain, and the people are locked behind the gate. What can you do no matter how strong your force is?
He had wasted more than a year here without making any achievements. In addition, Liu Biao's forces in northern Jingbei were also getting ready to move. Xiang Yan had no choice but to return home and gave up his plan to attack Yizhou. However,
Fortunately, sending troops this time was not a loss, at least Jiaozhou was successfully captured.
In addition, the Xiang family also gained a number of talents in Jiaozhou. Cheng Bing, Xue Zong and others also made up for the shortage of civil servants in the Xiang family to a small extent.
