The reason why Cao Chong was so shocked was naturally because of the content of the bamboo slip in Cao Chong's hand.
There is only one official document from Yizhou to report to Cao Cao, but the length is very large.
The bamboo slips in Cao Chong's hands were heavy, and in the bamboo slips, there were two cloths full of words.
The content of this bamboo slip and two pieces of cloth to report to Cao Cao is the changing situation in Yizhou.
Moreover, the situation is not optimistic.
Zhang Song and Huang Quan gathered Dongzhou troops near Chengdu, intending to break away from Cao Cao's control.
When Cao Chong saw this information, he couldn't believe it.
"Father, but Liu Zhang was in Yecheng at that time, how dare he give such an order" Cao Cao smiled on his face and said: "That's because Liu Zhang has a way to get out, do you think that Liu Zhang indulges in lust in the mansion all day long, if you go to the inner hall of Liu's mansion, in a dark room, you will find a hidden tunnel, and this tunnel leads directly to the outskirts of Yecheng." ” And here's the thing Cao Chong looked at Cao Cao in a daze at the moment, and suddenly felt that this matter might not have been done by Cao Pi.
This is more like Cao Cao did Could it be that the murderer he has been investigating is standing in front of him Cao Chong's mind was a little confused, so he quickly shook his head.
But even if Boss Cao did these things, Cao Chong still had a lot of doubts in his heart.
Even if Zhang Song and Huang Quan wanted to rebel, Cao Chong felt that Cao Cao should not be so reckless, and directly killed Liu Zhang.
The real reason why Zhang Song was still antagonistic to Cao Cao at this time was that Zhang Song had a grudge against Cao Cao.
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Zhang Song was sent to Cao Cao without being recorded by Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, so he was resentful.
And Huang Quan is one of the few people in Yizhou who is loyal to Liu Zhang, when Fa Zheng and others advised Liu Zhang to welcome Liu Bei, Huang Quan once advised Liu Zhang not to welcome Liu Bei, but Liu Zhang was released as the magistrate of Guanghan County.
After Liu Zhang was defeated, Huang Quan demoted Liu Bei and was worshiped as a partial general.
Although these two people can stir up a certain amount of wind and waves, it is absolutely impossible to shake the foundation of Yizhou.
The reason why Cao Chong dared to say such a thing was naturally based on evidence.
To understand Yizhou, Cao Chong chose an entry point, that is, in later generations, Liu Zhang's strength was obviously stronger than Zhang Lu, why did he invite Liu Bei, who was weaker than himself, to enter Shu to fight against Zhang Lu, why was he defeated by Liu Bei, who was weaker than himself Yizhou, since ancient times, is the country of abundance, with the irrigation of Dujiangyan and the protection of mountains and rivers, which makes Yizhou rich in grain and grass, and easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that Shu is difficult.
In the middle and late stages of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi took a defensive position against Shu for many years, and it was precisely because of the difficulty and danger of Shu that it was difficult to break through.
And Liu Zhang's father and son have been in Yizhou for many years, and they are widely kind, and when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, they intrigued with each other for three years.
In 214 A.D., the two sides officially opened fire.
Liu Bei didn't have many soldiers and horses at that time, and the troops he brought from Jingzhou, plus the troops who surrendered before and after, were only about 10,000 people.
Moreover, Liu Bei's army fought alone and had no backup.
Once Liu Zhang cut off the back road, Liu Bei would not be able to win at all.
However, Liu Zhang gradually ruined his good situation again and again.
When Liu Bei attracted Ma Chao and wandered under the city of Yizhou, Liu Zhang's heart was like ashes.
At that time, there were still 30,000 elite soldiers in Yizhou City, enough food and grass to support a year, and many generals swore allegiance to Liu Zhang and coexist with Chengdu.
And Liu Zhang's subordinates also guarded all checkpoints to prevent Jingzhou soldiers and horses from coming to the rescue.
It can be said that as long as Liu Zhang makes up his mind, Yizhou may not be lost, at least not easily.
Later, Liu Zhang would not say that "the father and son have been in the state for more than 20 years, and there is no kindness to add to the people."
The people have been fighting for three years, and those who have been anointed with grass and wilderness have been able to settle down with Zhang, who can be at peace with him", and then surrendered to Liu Bei.
But is that exactly what happened?
Is Liu Zhang really incompetent to surrender Definitely can go from a puppet to a warlord who holds great power, Liu Zhang is obviously not an ordinary shrimp soldier and crab general.
Liu Zhang finally surrendered, either incompetent, but really powerless.
The so-called richness of Yizhou is actually a misunderstanding.
Because of the inconvenient transportation, Yizhou had little contact with the Central Plains, and it was not until the Qin State eliminated the Shu State and sent officials to govern it that it began to be gradually developed.
At that time, Yizhou included today's Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi, and Yunnan from the map, but in fact, even the development of Sichuan was not completed, and a large number of mountainous areas were inhabited by ethnic minorities, outside the effective management of the imperial court.
After two Han Dynasty and four hundred years, the development of Yizhou is actually not sufficient, and the degree of development is relatively high, mainly in the Chengdu Plain, and more other places are in a state of barbarism and occupied by ethnic minorities.
And the minorities in these places do not pay taxes to the state, they are obliged, and as long as there is no rebellion, they are already thankful.
In fact, the rebellions in the southwest region have been going on, the Han Dynasty could not enter the school to effectively manage, rebellions are frequent, and the imperial court and local garrisons are also through the quelling of these rebellions, constantly exterminating the relatively powerful minority tribes, into the national unified management system.
Even so, this process was not completed by the end of the Han Dynasty.
Within the jurisdiction of the Yizhou Assassin sent by the imperial court, the main ones that were really more effectively controlled were Shu County and Hanzhong, and the main residents in other areas were ethnic minorities, which were outside the effective management of the state.
The number of Han Chinese residents that the state can control is not large.
The first wave of the real large-scale development of Yizhou was actually the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the large-scale war in the Central Plains and Guanzhong at the end of the Han Dynasty, some residents of the Central Plains began to migrate into Yizhou, and the population of Yizhou increased more.
After a long period of development and development from Liu Zhang to Shu Han, by the time of the fall of Shu Han, the population was only one million, and when Liu Bei entered Yizhou, the population was only about six or seven percent of this number at most.
Moreover, after the large-scale land annexation in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the population depended on the local power, which was actually equivalent to breaking away from the control of the state.
The state had to make it possible for the state to turn the dependent population on the land they occupied into a population available to the state through the powerful landlords.
This meant that the state had to have the cooperation and support of powerful landlords in order to maintain its rule.
This is also the institutional basis for the formation of the troops in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
When Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, arrived in Yizhou, Yizhou had just experienced the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and was pacified under the leadership of local bureaucrats, and political order was restored.
However, in order to establish his prestige in Yizhou and establish personal rule, Liu Yan killed a group of powerful local landlords, and the people he relied on to fight against these local snakes were mainly Dongzhou soldiers, that is, people from the Central Plains who migrated from Nanyang and Guanzhong.
After Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne with the support of Liu Yan's old minister, local official Zhao Wei and others, and the main reason why they supported Liu Zhang, but did not choose to support Liu Mao, who was older than Liu Zhang, was that Liu Zhang's personality was relatively cowardly, that is, the so-called "Wenren" in the Three Kingdoms, which was convenient for them to control and act as a puppet.
But Liu Zhang was unwilling to act as a puppet completely.
Soon after succeeding to the throne, he broke with Zhang Lu, killed all of Zhang Lu's family members left in Yizhou, and formed a mortal enmity with Zhang Lu.
In order to defend against Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang sent Liu Yan's old minister Pang Xi to serve as the Brazilian Taishou and be responsible for defending Zhang Lu, but Pang Xi fell in love with Zhang Lu after he arrived.
After all, Pang Xi hadn't torn his face with Liu Zhang, so Zhao Wei directly tore his face and rebelled.
Because Gan Ning and others rebelled in the eastern region of Yizhou and received the support of Liu Biao, Liu Zhang sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to quell the rebellion.
After Zhao Wei arrived at the front, he first put down the rebellion and drove Gan Ning to Liu Biao's jurisdiction.
However, Zhao Wei privately made peace with Liu Biao, and with the support of the local heroes in Yizhou, he returned to Chengdu and almost overthrew Liu Zhang.
It was only the Dongzhou soldiers who knew that if Liu Zhang failed this time, they would all have to die, so they all fought desperately to defeat Zhao Wei's army, and Liu Zhang's rule in Yizhou was preserved.
Therefore, Liu Zhang actually has an army, and the number is more than that of Liu Bei when he first entered Sichuan.
When Liu Bei entered Sichuan, there were only about 10,000 troops, and the army that Liu Zhang led to meet Liu Bei had 30,000 people.
Of course, Liu Zhang must have some troops scattered throughout the jurisdiction, as well as those who stayed in Chengdu, with a total number of more than 30,000.
From this point of view, there is no need for Liu Zhang to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan, but things are not as simple as they seem.
Because these armies were used by Liu Zhang for self-protection, and also to suppress the local tyrants, these armies must be controlled by himself to maintain his rule in Yizhou, otherwise he will be overthrown by the local tyrants.
Therefore, these armies must always be by his side, used for self-defense, and not for foreign wars.
This means that Liu Zhang's rule in Yizhou was actually unstable, and he himself relied on the bullet pressure of the Dongzhou soldiers to maintain his rule in Yizhou.
The local heroes in Yizhou did not support Liu Zhang, and it could even be said that they were against Liu Zhang, either they had accumulated their own strength to raise troops to oppose it, or there were foreign forces against Liu Zhang, and they supported it.
And Liu Bei played precisely this role, Liu Bei entered Sichuan for a year, did not fight with Zhang Lu, but bought people's hearts everywhere, mainly to make friends with local heroes and understand the actual political, economic and military situation in Yizhou.
After that, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turned their faces, and what Liu Zhang used to confront Liu Bei was actually mainly Dongzhou soldiers and some minority troops, and when these armies were wiped out by Liu Bei, he could only surrender.
From this point of view, although it is a misunderstanding to say that Yizhou is rich, from another point of view, the so-called wealth is actually mainly due to powerful landlords.
And the prosperity of the powerful landlords can in turn prove that Liu Zhang, as the local government, is actually unable to effectively draw wealth and strength from these powerful landlords, and cannot convert the local wealth and strength of Yizhou into the strength of his own rule, so there is a situation that Yizhou is indeed rich at least on the surface, but Liu Zhang is not powerful.
And after Cao Cao unified the world, Yizhou's Haoqiang was actually attached to Boss Cao, which Liu Zhang didn't dare to stop and couldn't stop.
That's why.
Even if the Dongzhou soldiers want to overthrow Yizhou, it is more likely that they will not succeed.
Because Yizhou Haoqiang will not unify Liu Zhangfu's restoration.
Cao Chong understood this, and he believed that Cao Cao also understood.
And in fact, Cao Cao also understood.
However, Liu Zhang and Ma Teng still have to die:
