Due to the merger of the two major forces of Bai Rao and Guo Tai, the local officials in Sili had to ask for help from the two courts of Luoyang and Chang'an.
Originally, the actions of these local officials to ask for help from the two courts at the same time were just a habitual behavior developed by the coherence of Luoyang and Chang'an, and they usually responded to it that was beneficial to them. But this
Once, the courts in Luoyang and Chang'an unexpectedly made the same decision.
In Luoyang, due to the major migrations carried out by Dong Zhuo and Liu Mingde, the people were scarce and the taxes were scarce. Even the little soldiers and horses in Huangfu Song were formed by Huang Zhong and Gao Shun's remaining soldiers.
Song was able to fight Guo Tai for such a long time with these soldiers, which fully proved Huangfu Song's superb military skills. But no matter how powerful Huangfu Song is, he is still a person, and he cannot be out of thin air.
The military pay, military rations, and military horses were created. Originally, the princes from Guandong had given them some face to support them, some military pay, and some military pay. The wealthy families in other places, as well as their own relationships and
The forces can also mobilize some military funds. But with the upgrading of the military equipment between Liu Ming and Dong Zhuo, the money and food of the princes in various places are tight, so who will care about them again? Moreover, the so-called central government in Luoyang even has an emperor.
No, there were just a group of ministers who were shouting to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the strength of the court itself could not be reduced to any princes. Therefore, in the past year, except for Liu Ming, no princes had paid tribute to them. But
Liu Ming had a tax-free imperial edict from the late emperor. It was Liu Ming's wish that he would give more and less. They had no choice but to rely on Liu Ming's tribute and Si Li's tax revenue.
In addition to the expenses for the ministers, even the little military expenditures for maintaining Luoyang were not enough. How could it be possible to grow again? Now Huangfu Song even struggled to maintain the confrontation with Mr. Guo, and Bai Rao's joining. Huangfu Song had no choice but to do so.
It's right.
Finally, the ministers in the court discussed. The bandits were so rampant that they could not deal with it, but they could not ignore it. This had already been defeated at the door of their house. If there was no action yet, where was the majesty of the court?
Do these ministers need to be scrambled? Moreover, if this is further developed, if this small court is destroyed by these bandits, what should we do? But if we have to deal with it, they have to find a way to move troops.
, these court officials were as clear as a mirror in their hearts when they were in the current situation. The princes around them could not be referred to. They were all guys with strange plans. I am afraid that only one of the three masters was one of them.
Liu Ming, a relative of the Han Dynasty, may have some loyalty and righteousness. However, he has clearly announced the world that he has quelled his subordinates' rebellion. The bitter and cold land in Liaodong cannot be so
Therefore, Liu Ming and the others couldn't refer to it. But apart from Liu Ming, the only thing they could think of was Cao Cao, who was recently in Yanzhou and had a great advancement. Cao Cao had a good reputation, that is, resisting with them
After ten regular attendants, they planned and personally carried out the assassination of Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao was also a loyal and righteous man on their side. Moreover, although Cao Cao's military strength is not weak now, he is definitely not considered a top player.
First-class people, let alone Liu Ming and Dong Zhuo's troops. Even if they recently destroyed Liu Yu and annexed Yuan Shao's strength in Jizhou, they would be far above Cao Cao. If Cao Cao was recruited to Sili, they would be
.Using Cao Cao's troops to wipe out the two major bandits, Guo Tai and Bai Rao. Then he and others granted Cao Cao a high-ranking official, undermining Cao Cao's power, substantially control Yanzhou, regain control of Yanzhou, and take Yanzhou as
The central control of the central government of himself and others is no longer more powerful than the fact that he and others have never had any real power, and always rely on the support of various princes. Therefore, they ordered Cao Cao to enter Sili to quell the rebellion.
As for Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, he didn't see the two horses of Guo Tai and Bai Rao. But now he has a rare opportunity to go to Liaodong to quell the rebellion. If he doesn't do anything, he is really sorry for God to treat him.
care.
Although Dong Zhuo was afraid of Liu Ming from the bottom of his heart, he suffered a great loss under Liu Ming's men. But Dong Zhuo also knew that the current situation was that he and Liu Ming competed for dominance. And he had already
He became a mortal enemy with Liu Ming. Even if he was willing to surrender to Liu Ming, he would not be able to fall. Besides, he had a million troops and the orthodox symbol of the emperor. He was not willing to give up on Liu no matter what.
Ming surrendered. Now that Liu Ming has left with some of his troops, if he doesn't take this opportunity to take action, would he still wait for Liu Ming to calm down the rear, recover, and come steadily to attack.
Do you yourself?
Therefore, Dong Zhuo was in no mood to pay attention to the two thieves and bandits. He was determined to wait for Liu Ming to go further. After he was prepared for Ma Teng, he found an excuse to send troops to attack Liu Mingde Bingzhou.
After Bingzhou, if Liu Ming had not had time to withdraw, he would destroy Liu Ming's Youzhou. He defeated Liu Ming's foundation in one fell swoop and brought Liu Ming to the blame. If Liu Ming came back, he would
Ideas to discuss peace with Liu Ming, continue to develop strength, and slowly squeeze out Liu Ming's power. Even if Liu Ming does not discuss peace with him, he can still fight a war of attrition with Liu Ming on Liu Ming's territory, and slowly
Grind Liu Ming to death.
Dong Zhuo's thoughts are all on this, so he will still pay attention to the requests of local officials in Sili. However, Li Ru believed that even if he had no time to pay attention to Sili's affairs at this time, Sili was also a place under his nose and could never
The small court in Luoyang and other princes were cheaper. At this time, Cao Cao's power near Sili was not too strong, and he could consume Cao Cao and the thieves and bandits. In this way, he would wait for him to solve the problem of Liu
After the Ming Dynasty, Cao Cao should not have developed much, so he just let his army and horses turn around to pacify Sili, and then take over Yanzhou. From then on, Dong Zhuo's world-domestic tyrant can be determined.
Of course, Dong Zhuo was moved by Li Ru. So he gave Cao Cao an edict to pacify the bandits of Sili in the name of the emperor.
However! The courts in Luoyang and Chang'an clearly underestimated Cao Cao's ambitions and skills. How could Cao Cao's generation be like to share with each other? Among these princes now, in addition to Liu Ming, and Liu Yuzhi at the time
In addition, Yanzhou under Cao Cao's rule was the richest and hoarded the most money and grain.
Cao Cao had originally admired Liu Ming's strategic vision very much and had been imitating Liu Ming's various policies. When Cao Cao first traded horses with Liu Ming in order to form the tiger and leopard cavalry, Cao Cao had been thinking about Liu Ming's Youzhou
Why do you need so many slaves? Why do you need so many iron ore? Instead of cash?
Not long after, Cao Cao figured it out. He realized the importance of people-oriented and fully understood Liu Ming's spirit. Therefore, when Cao Cao continued to attack the poison, he did not start a big killing. Instead, he took all the captured Yellow Turban soldiers.
, except to select strong troops to enrich their troops, all the rest were arranged to carry out military farming together. However, what Cao Cao did even more than Liu Ming was that these military farming prisoners were for life. All of them were compiled.
The book was created and the household registration was removed. Not only did there be no freedom, but also soldiers were sent to guard. Anyone who was slow to make progress would be beaten and displayed. Anyone who escaped would be caught and tied to a wooden stake, which would be sunk to death to warn others.
Farmer.
Although Cao Cao did this, Cao Cao's economy improved suddenly. The people under Cao Cao's rule were afraid of Cao Cao's criminal law, and because Cao Cao's actions were fair, Cao Cao also built water conservancy and reclaimed wasteland.
, and some agricultural tax was exempted when the army was abundant. Therefore, these people also believed that Cao Cao was a rare good official. When there was a way out, all of these people became sane and kept their own affairs. This caused the poison to arise.
It was in Yanzhou that the mass base was lost.
Yu Du could no longer hold on and no longer wanted to waste his troops here in Cao Cao. He fled to Yuzhou with his remaining troops of more than 200,000 and went to Yuzhou to join forces with his old friend Yang Feng.
While Cao Cao was exploring what kind of excuse he should find to expand his territory and expand his strength, Chang'an and Luoyang sent Cao Cao this edict respectively. Cao Cao was so happy. He didn't know how he should thank God for his gratitude.
I took care of myself, especially at this time, all the powerful princes around me were still busy, and no one had the time to take care of me.
Of course, Cao Cao would not miss this opportunity. He immediately ordered 150,000 troops, with general Xiahou Dun as the vanguard, Cao Ren as the left army, Cao Hong as the right army, and Yu Jin as the rear army. He personally commanded the central army and was in a mighty manner.
The storm fled to Sili and came over. Cao Cao's hometown Yanzhou, and Cao Cao handed over to Chen Gong and Cheng Yu to lead an army of 100,000 to defend.
The harvest of Cao Cao was so popular along the way.
First, Cao Cao captured General Xu Huang in Xionger Mountain.
Since Xu Huang was defeated by Hua Xiong in Bingzhou, he had no way to return home and left in a deserted state, he fled all the way and came to the Sili realm. Xu Huang was defeated from the battlefield and had no money,
Apart from his kung fu, he had no money-making skills. Xu Huang sold his sword and armor, and finally arrived at Xionger Mountain along the way, but he encountered the bandits' robbers' robbers' robbers. After Xu Huang killed the thief's head
The remaining bandits begged for life, and they all came to this point since Chen and others had no choice but to live.
Xu Huang thought of his own experience and felt compassion suddenly aroused his feelings and let go of the remaining bandits. But those bandits were grateful and all had to follow Xu Huang (mainly because they had no food to eat), while Xu Huang was temporarily
There was no place to go and I didn’t have much spare money, so I was forced to live, so I fell on Xionger Mountain.
Originally, Cao Cao passed by Xionger Mountain, Xu Huang was unwilling to provoke a large group of people like Cao Cao.
But! What did Cao Cao come from? That was from the bandit suppression! What kind of temperament does Xiahou Dun have? He is arrogant and extremely strong!
Xiahou Dun along the way, he destroyed the mountains and drove the villages to the villages! He never let go of all the thieves and bandits. Xiahou Dun had already made up his mind that in the future, Sili would be his good brother and good lord.
Meng De's territory is here. He must clean up the Sili territory. While giving Sili people and officials a warning, he also expands the lord's staff to store grain so that his lord can take over Sili smoothly in the future.
.
So, when Xiahou Dun arrived behind Xionger Mountain, he still set up a formation to wipe out the bandits.
Xu Huang came to Xiahou Dundu, so he could only bite the bullet and face Xiahou Dun.
In a big battle, Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun circled for forty or fifty rounds without a decision. Then, when Xiahou Dun relied on the advantage of his troops and horses to siege the mountain village, Xu Huang also used the mountain to make clever moves. For a moment, Xiahou Dun
He actually had no choice but to deal with Xu Huang.
After delaying, Cao Cao's central army also rushed up. After Cao Cao asked about the reasons, he cherished Xu Huang's talent very much and had the idea of cherishing talent. He sighed and said, "This Xu Huang is really a good general! Someone
I can't bear to use strength to combine it, and I want to use a plan to attack it. I wonder what good ideas do you have?"
Coincidentally, Man Chong, an engaged in Cao Cao's army, had a relationship with Xu Huang while studying abroad. At this moment, Man Chong spoke to Cao Cao, "Love your mind. I have a relationship with Xu Huang. Now I am willing to do it for you.
The messenger, speak with words and discipline him to surrender."
Cao Cao still had a certain understanding of Man Chong's character. He knew that Man Chong was rigorous, so Xiang Buyan. Since he said that, he would definitely have a certain degree of confidence. Therefore, Cao Cao happily agreed.
As an envoy, Man Chong arrived at Xu Huang's village. After seeing Xu Huang, he bowed and said, "Is the old friend safe?"
Xu Huang looked at this carefully and felt a little impression of Man Chong. He asked in surprise: "Are you Man Boning from Shanyang? Why did you come here?"
Man Chong smiled and said, "I am now engaged in General Cao. Because General Cao cherishes Gongming's great talent and happened to hear the name of an old friend, I asked for an order to speak up."
Xu Huang became a bandit, which was also helpless. At this time, he heard that Cao Cao valued him very much, and he was very moved. However, he had never met Cao Cao and was somewhat suspicious, so he asked hesitantly: "Duke Cao Cao"
Do you also like a talent?"
When Man Chong saw Xu Huang's words and deeds, he knew that Xu Huang was active. He immediately said while the iron was hot: "The courage of the Lord is rare in the world, how can he be a bandit? General Cao is a hero of the world, and he is a virtuous and polite man.
It is known to the world. General Cao learned that Gongming had the power of a camp and had been with the army for a long time, so he cherished it very much. He couldn't bear to surrender with his strength, so he specially sent a favor to talk about it. Does Gongming really think that General Cao
There is no way to use the hamlet of your small land?"
Xu Huang thought: This is the case. Sooner or later, with so many troops, they can defeat themselves. There is absolutely no need to deceive themselves. They should be really trying to surrender themselves. Therefore, Xu Huang surrendered to Cao Cao sincerely.
Cao Cao was so overjoyed when he got Xu Huang. But then there were even greater surprises waiting for Cao Cao.
