During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Nanyang was an area that was severely damaged.
Although the Yellow Turban rebellion in the area was quelled in time, the entire population of Nanyang dropped sharply, and agricultural production and economy once came to a standstill.
After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although the situation in Nanyang improved to a certain extent, after Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, he ransacked the Nanyang area, which caused more serious consequences.
The economy of the entire Nanyang area deteriorated greatly, and people fled in large numbers.
Some of them entered Yizhou and became the so-called "Dongzhou people".
At that time, Liu Yan also recruited tens of thousands of Dongzhou soldiers from these Dongzhou people.
The first reason why Yuan Shu moved his seat to Shouchun was that Nanyang's economic and production conditions were no longer enough to support the seat's status; the second reason was strategic necessity.
The area west of Wuguan was directly controlled by the imperial court.
Yuan Shu did not have the strength to attack it, and he did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world.
This was a rebellion.
Liu Biao in the south gained a stable position after gaining the support of several big families in Jingzhou.
Jingzhou was extremely affected during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Small but powerful, Jingzhou's navy is not a display and Yuan Shu cannot defeat it.
Lu Bu of Yingchuan was a ferocious tiger whose bravery was unmatched in the world.
This guy was not easy to mess with, and he was afraid that Lu Bu would stick to him.
Only in Yangzhou there were no powerful princes, and the governor of Yangzhou, Liu Yao, had not been in office for a long time, and his status was not very high.
It was stable, so Yuan Shu set his sights on Yangzhou, and moving the government to Shouchun was the best choice.
Although Yuan Shu placed his strategic focus on Yangzhou, he did not ignore Nanyang.
He stationed 10,000 people in Nanyang and left his confidants to manage it.
Zhang Jia's mission this time was not easy.
It was not easy to attack Nanyang with 10,000 troops garrisoned by 10,000 troops, so he did not act rashly.
This was also a test for Zhang Jia by Liu Cheng.
After entering the Nanyang area from Wuguan, Zhang Jaw led his army to hide his whereabouts during the day and night and went directly to Wan County, the seat of Nanyang County.
However, he stopped at Li State on the way and hid on the spot.
At the same time, he sent two thousand people to attack Nanyang County.
In Pheasant County, they sent a small team of elite detectives to keep an eye on Nanyang City.
Yuan Shu's general Le Jiu was stationed in Nanyang.
On this day he was hugging each other, listening to singing and dancing in the prefect's mansion.
Yuan Shu moved his headquarters to Shouchun and left him to garrison here.
At the same time, he also left a long history to assist him.
Handle government affairs.
As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the long history left by the monkey-called king Yuan Shu could not control Lejiu at all.
After more than a year, Lejiu forgot about it, defense was lax, and military affairs began to be neglected.
"Report" a junior high school student rushed into the lobby of the prefecture's mansion from the outside with his sword pressed, bowed to Lejiu who was enjoying singing, dancing and drinking wine, and said: "General Qi, Pheasant County was attacked by Lu Bu's army, Pheasant County Luo County Magistrate sent The villain breaks out and asks the general for help."
"What?"
Le was shocked, pushed away the beauty in his arms, and waved to the dancing dancers to drive them out.
When the hall became quiet, Le went to the hall with a serious face and asked, "How many troops do you think Lu Bu's army had when they attacked Pheasant County?"
The colonel replied: "Go back to the general, there are more than 2,000 people.
There are only 300 defenders in Pheasant County.
They can't defend it for long.
Please ask the general to send troops to rescue quickly."
Le couldn't believe it and asked, "Do you know whether Lu Bu personally led the attack or there was someone else?"
"Go back to the general.
The enemy general is Hou Cheng, under Lu Bu's command."
Le took a map and looked at it, raised his head and frowned: "Pheasant County is to the south of Luyang.

Didn't Lu Bu's army attack Luyang?"
"Little people don't know that Lu Bu's army suddenly surrounded the county town, and the people in the city had no way of knowing the news about the surrounding towns."
Le immediately shouted to the guard next to him: "Go and find Yuan Huan quickly!"
"promise" Yuan Huan is one of Yuan Shu's counselors and Yuan Shu's younger brother.
He is relatively cowardly in character.
After a while, Yuan Huan hurried over, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the general."
Le immediately asked the primary school who reported the news to tell Yuan Huan the situation, and Le asked: "Master Yuan, what do you think?"
Yuan Huan thought for a while and said: "It seems that Lu Bu saw that my lord led most of our army to Huainan.
The troops in Nanyang are weak, so he became coveted and wanted to swallow up the news we got from Nanyang first."
If Pheasant County is attacked, then Luyang will only Fearing that it has fallen into Lu Bu's hands, the lower official suggested that the top priority is to send people to report to the lord quickly, and at the same time prepare the city defense, fortify the walls and clear the country so that Lu Bu's army cannot eat.
Our army will defend here until the lord sends a large army to rescue. until" Lejiu said angrily: "What a joke, I have ten thousand elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians in Nanyang, and Lu Bu only occupied Yingchuan for two years.
To be able to have such great strength, Lu Bu is so brave that he has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard."
Attacking me at Nanyang is a pleasure for me.
Others are afraid of him, Lu Bu.
I am happy because I am not afraid of others.
I beat the drums and gathered the generals, ordered the troops and horses to send out troops to rescue Pheasant County and attack Lu Bu."
Yuan Huan was shocked and hurriedly stopped him: "General, you must not do this.
Now that the enemy's situation is unclear, our army must not attack rashly."
"Why is the enemy unknown?
Lu Bu has at most ten thousand men.
He has to leave troops to garrison Yingchuan, otherwise Chen Liu's Zhang Miao will raid his lair.
So he can only send five to six thousand men to attack Nanyang at most."
I have made up my mind on this matter, there is no need to say anything more.”
Yuan Huan could not stop Lejiu, so he could only send people to report to Yuan Shu in Shouchun while giving Lejiu the food and grass supplies to prepare for the expedition.
The next morning, Lejiu led 9,000 troops from Wan County to Pheasant County in the northeast.
On this day, they marched sixty miles and camped in Xi'e, but it was still about eighty miles away from Pheasant County.
Le didn't pay much attention and ordered the army to camp outside Xi'e City, while he himself took some soldiers into the city.
After eating and having fun, he was so drunk that he was alone and drunk until midnight before he was escorted back to the camp outside the city by his own soldiers to rest.
A fierce cry of killing awakened Yuan Shu's army in the entire camp.
Zhang Jaw led the army into the camp.
The soldiers looked at people and threw torches to the tents when they saw them.
In a short time, a large number of tents and provisions were set on fire.
A fire broke out, and Yuan Shujun was panicked when he was attacked.
Drunk Le couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed.
Yuan Shujun, who had no command, ran around in panic.
More and more people were killed.
Many people fled in all directions.
Zhang Jiao took the opportunity to send people.
Chase.
The battle did not end until daybreak.
Le was captured on the spot, along with more than 5,000 prisoners.
More than 3,000 people were killed during the raid, and only a few hundred escaped without a trace.
After the county magistrate of Western Echeng learned that Lejiu's entire army had been annihilated and captured, he surrendered without a fight.
A white flag was hung on the top of the city, and he led the officials, soldiers and civilians to open the door to accept the surrender.
Zhang Jaw's soldiers captured the city of Xi'e without any bloodshed.

He pressed his sword and walked to the county government hall, turned around and shouted: "Come with me!"
"Just have fun" the soldier outside the door shouted.
Le was tied up and escorted to the hall and forced to kneel down.
He looked at Zhang Jia without fear.
Zhang Jaw said: "Zhang Jaw, now that you have been defeated and captured, and your entire army of nearly ten thousand people has been wiped out, are you willing to surrender?"
Le then raised his head and said loudly: "I would rather die than surrender.
If you want to kill, just kill.
No need to say more."
He opened his jaw and sneered: "You are a traitor who was defeated and captured, but you are still so confident and shameless.
You really don't want to regret death.
Drag him down and behead him in the name of a traitor."
Several soldiers rushed up immediately, and Le's expression changed and he shouted: "Wait a minute, I'm not afraid of death, but you kill me in the name of a traitor.
I don't accept that my lord is the empress general Yuan Shu, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family." , I was just serving under his command, so why did I turn into a rebel again?"
"Hahaha" he laughed with his jaw open, pointed and said happily: "You are such a reckless man, so what happened to the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family?
That was a thing of the past.
Yuan Shu was indeed named a rear general by the imperial court, but the imperial court did not appoint him as The prefect of Nanyang and the prefect of Runan occupy these territories and carry out the acts of local officials, expropriating and tyrannizing against the imperial court.
This is a separatist rebellion.
Since he is a traitor, how can you, a subordinate of yours, come with an innocent person, drag him down and chop him down?"
Le was as limp as mud, and as if he had lost his soul, the soldiers dragged him outside and beheaded him.
Zhang Jia immediately ordered: "Come here, divide your troops into three groups to capture the counties in Nanyang County, and then surround Wan County."
When Zhang Jaw's army was retaking the counties in Nanyang County, he wrote a battle report and sent someone to quickly send it to Chang'an.
The news that Nanyang was attacked by Zhang Jaw's army was soon known to Lu Bu, who was closest to the place.
Lu Bu intended to take advantage of the chaos and send troops to seize Nanyang, but was dissuaded by his advisers.
The reason is very simple.
The strength of Yuan Shu's army in Nanyang has basically been defeated by Zhang Jaw, and the counties will soon surrender.
If Lu Bu sends troops, he will not have an advantage in strength, and he will have to leave some troops to garrison in Yingchuan.
But Zhang Jaw can dispatch all his troops to fight with him.
In addition, Xu Shu's army stationed in Luoyang is close at hand.
If Lu Bu sends troops to enter Nanyang, Xu Shu sends troops to attack Yingchuan, so what if the retreat is cut off?
The counselor's analysis made Lu Bu a little discouraged, and he had to give up the idea of sending troops into Nanyang angrily.
Chang'an, Da Sima Mansion.
Liu Cheng received the battle report sent by Zhang Jia's people and was overjoyed after reading it: "Hahaha, good.
Zhang Jia really lived up to my high expectations.
He defeated Lejiu in one fell swoop, killing more than 3,000 enemies and capturing more than 5,000 people.
Chen Ziyang, on my behalf, write a letter to Zhang Jia, asking him to capture Wan County as soon as possible, surrender other counties under Nanyang County, and be on strict guard against Lu Bu and Yuan Shu's army in Runan."
"promise" Liu Cheng asked again: "How is things going at Yan Xing's side?"
Jia Xu stood up and answered with cupped hands: "Back to my lord, General Yan's side is going very smoothly.
More than 10,000 Xiongnu soldiers have been recruited."
Liu Cheng nodded, thought for a while and said: "Let Shi Guangyuan speed up the collection of weapons, food and supplies.
I have decided to lead the army northward in the first month of next year to deal with the Huns in Meiji City once and for all."
"promise" Let the Huns fight among themselves first, and then the imperial court will send troops to deal with them all, and then announce to the outside world that the Huns have lost all their merits due to internal fighting.
As for the remaining Huns who are old, weak, sick and disabled, Liu Cheng has already made plans.
After this incident was over, the remaining Huns were dispersed throughout the interior, preventing them from gathering together and forcing them to learn farming methods.
In less than ten or twenty years, the Huns would be completely integrated into the Han people
