In AD 192, the second year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo coerced the young emperor and moved the capital to Chang'an.
Subsequently, the alliance of princes fell apart due to internal strife.
After the princes from all walks of life left with their troops, they began to attack each other, each seeking development and preparing to show off their talents.
King Can of Shu led his troops to fight constantly with Liu Yan, and the Central Plains was also at war.
Bohai Governor Yuan Shao left Luoyang and returned to Bohai.
He has always been subordinate to Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou.
He was very ambitious.
Seeing that Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was mediocre, the ambition in his heart was uncontrollably exposed.
He kept gathering counselors to discuss and prepare to seize Jizhou as a place to start his career.
Jizhou is a low-lying plain formed by the alluvial flow of the ancient Yellow River, Zhang River, Hutuo River and other rivers.
It has flat terrain and fertile land and is an important grain producing area.
Yuan Shao was jealous of Jizhou's resources and wanted to seize them.
At that time, Gongsun Zan led his troops to withdraw from the allied forces of the princes, and after returning, they stationed themselves in Youzhou.
Yuan Shao asked his subordinates Feng Ji and Xu You for advice, and counselor Feng Ji suggested to Yuan Shao that he instigate Gongsun Zan to lead troops to attack Jizhou.
Yuan Shao accepted Feng Ji's advice and was very excited, so he sent someone directly to tell Gongsun Zan.
Since Yuan Shao once served as the leader of the alliance of princes, even if the princes were in internal strife and the alliance of princes fell apart, there would still be certain advantages and benefits.
Moreover, Gongsun Zan needed someone to restrain Liu Yu, so he agreed to Yuan Shao's plan.
Gongsun Zan led the army south to attack Jizhou.
After Han Fu got the news, he led his troops to fight, but was defeated by Gongsun Zan.
Han Fu was immediately panicked.
At this time, Yuan Shao took advantage of Han Fu's defeat and sent his nephew Gao Gan and the counselors Han Fu relied on, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, Guo Tu and others to explain the interests to Han Fu.
In fact, Xin Ping, Xun Chen, and Guo Tu had all contacted Yuan Shao and turned to Yuan Shao.
The three men took turns in the battle, constantly telling Han Fu about Gongsun Zan's power, saying that Gongsun Zan was a famous general in the world, and his subordinate Baima Yicong was brave and good at fighting.
He was so sharp that it was difficult to resist.
After hearing what these people said, Han Fu became even more worried.
He immediately asked Xun Chen, Xin Ping, and Guo Tu for advice on how to resist Gongsun Zan.
Han Fu asked for advice and immediately fell into the trap of the three men.
Guo Tu immediately persuaded Han Fu, saying that although Bohai Governor Yuan Shao had a small official position and was only a county governor, Yuan Shao had great ambitions and ambitions that could not be restrained by a county governor.
He was secretly dispatching troops and preparing to send troops from Bohai. attack.
Jizhou was attacked by Gongsun Zan to the north and Yuan Shao to the east, which was very dangerous.
After hearing Guo Tu's words, Han Fu was so frightened that his face turned pale.
At this time, Guo Tu followed the temptation, saying that Yuan Shao was the fourth and third prince and the leader of the princes alliance, and everyone in the world would join Yuan Shao.
He kept persuading Han Fu to give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao to save his life.
Speaking of which, Han Fu is similar to Liu Yu.
They are both quite talented, but have a cowardly character and soft ears.
People like Liu Yu and Han Fu could be virtuous ministers in prosperous times, but in troubled times, Han Fu and Liu Yu could only be divided and cannibalized because they were not ruthless enough.
Han Fu was seduced by Guo Tuxun and persuaded by Xun Chen and Xin Ping, so he made up his mind to surrender to Yuan Shao.
Han Fu prepared to surrender, but his subordinates strongly opposed it.
However, Han Fu ignored the strong opposition of his generals and insisted on surrendering Jizhou Mu to Yuan Shao.
From then on, Yuan Shao implemented a small plan and successfully took control of Jizhou and became the leader of the state.
After acquiring Jizhou, Yuan Shao appointed Han Fu as General Fenwei and took charge of the herdsman of Jizhou.
Yuan Shao's strength greatly increased, and he immediately recruited Tian Feng, a famous scholar in Jizhou, to serve as his chariot and examiner to rule the center.
He used Xu You, Xun Chen, Xin Ping and others as counselors to occupy Jizhou.
Jizhou was the leader of the nine states and a large state at that time.
It had millions of soldiers and countless grain and grass.

It was the most important grain and grass land in the world.
After Yuan Shao took possession of Jizhou, his power expanded rapidly.
From then on, Yuan Shao occupied the Yellow River in the south and the lands of Yan and Dai in the north, eyeing the Central Plains.
However, Yuan Shao was suspicious and would not allow others to snore next to the bed.
After occupying Jizhou, Yuan Shao summoned Han Fu from time to time.
The content of the conversation between the two parties made Han Fu feel that Yuan Shao had murderous intentions, so he left his wife and children and fled to Chenliu.
The prefect Zhang Miao wanted to get rid of Yuan Shao.
However, at the right time, Yuan Shao sent envoys to Zhang Miao's residence to discuss important matters.
Han Fu accidentally saw Zhang Miao discussing matters with Yuan Shao's envoy, thinking that Zhang Miao was going to kill him, so he committed suicide.
From then on, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and became the first prince in the north.
Yuan Shao was not calm, and Cao Cao was not willing to be lonely, and began to interpret life on the stage of history.
Autumn, the second year of Chuping.
When the Yellow Turban generals Yu Du, Bai Rao, and Sui Gu saw the feudal princes fighting against each other and the situation was in chaos, they led the Black Mountain Army to attack Weijun southwest of present-day Linzhang, Hebei, and Dongjun southwest of present-day Puyang, Henan.
Along the way, the Montenegrin Army marched straight in.
Wherever it passed, more and more soldiers were snowballing, like tigers, and it was difficult to resist.
Wang Gong, the governor of Dongjun, could not resist and asked Yuan Shao for help.
At that time, Cao Cao was wanted by the court and lost his official position because he escaped from Luoyang after assassinating Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Cao Cao's official position was dismissed by Yuan Shao as the director of the alliance, and he was an official under Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were close friends, and both sides wanted to fight.
Cao Cao did not sincerely submit to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao knew this, but he acquiesced.
Cao Cao told Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai about the rampage of the Black Mountain Army, and Xi Zhicai suggested that Cao Cao ask Yuan Shao for a fight.
It is said that Xi Zhicai became an official with Cao Cao because of Xun Yu's recommendation.
Thanks to the recommendation of Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao also gathered a group of counselors under his command and began to rise to prominence.
Cao Cao sincerely asked Yuan Shao for war, and Yuan Shao immediately agreed and asked Cao Cao to send troops.
The reason is, on the one hand, the relationship between the two, and on the other hand, Yuan Shao felt guilty in his heart.
He felt that when the princes challenged Dong, he felt sorry for Cao Cao, so he sent Cao Cao to fight.
Yuan Shao was soft-hearted and indecisive.
Cao Cao took advantage of this and successfully got rid of Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao led his soldiers into Dongjun to develop his power.
The so-called golden lin is just a thing in the pond, it transforms into a dragon when encountering the storm.
People like Cao Cao are destined to shine brightly.
With the assistance of Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao achieved great success by defeating the Black Mountain Army led by Bai Rao in Puyang.
At this time, Xi Zhicai suggested that Cao Cao petition Yuan Shao to serve as the governor of Dongjun.
Yuan Shao received Cao Cao's letter and agreed directly, appointing Cao Cao as the governor of Dongjun.
Cao Cao was appointed and changed the governor's office of Dongjun to Dongwuyang, which is now Caoxian County, Shandong.
Since then, Cao Cao also had a county and became a veritable prince.
However, compared with Yuan Shao at this time, Cao Cao was still in the sky and on the ground.
There was a very big gap.
After Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan beheaded again.
In November of the second year of Chuping.
The 300,000 Yellow Turban army entrenched in Qingzhou went north to Bohai County, preparing to join another peasant army, the Black Mountain Army.
Yuan Shao sent someone to inform Gongsun Zan, hoping that Gongzan would lead a large army to help.
After Gongsun Zan received the letter, he agreed directly and led a total of 20,000 infantry and cavalry people from their base camp in Youzhou to attack the Yellow Turbans.
The army and the Yellow Turban Army fought fiercely in Dongguang County.

Gongsun Zan defeated the Yellow Turban Army and beheaded more than 30,000 people.
After the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, they abandoned their baggage and crossed the Yellow River south.
Gongsun Zan discussed with his advisers and led his troops to set up an ambush by the Yellow River.
When the Yellow Turban soldiers were halfway across the river, they suddenly launched an attack.
In this battle, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were killed and wounded, and rivers of blood flowed.
Gongsun Zan also captured more than 70,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, including countless chariots, armor and property.
Gongsun Zan won the victory, and the news spread to Chang'an.
After Dong Zhuo got the news, in order to win over Gongsun Zan, he worshiped Gongsun Zan as General Fenwu and granted the title of Marquis of Ji.
Compared with Yuan Shao's reward, Gongsun Zan naturally preferred Dong Zhuo's appointment, because Dong Zhuo represented the court.
Although Gongsun Zan once attacked Dong Zhuo, it did not prevent him from accepting Dong Zhuo's reward.
Because of this, a rift was left between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao.
In the winter of the second year of Chuping, the two sides would start a war to compete for Jizhou.
Of course, this was a follow-up matter.
In the second year of Chuping, wars continued.
In November, the weather turns cooler.
While the wars in the Central Plains were raging, Yizhou gradually calmed down.
Wang Can took his family to Chengdu and sat in Chengdu to appease the people and sort out internal affairs.
At the same time, he began to conquer surrounding counties and counties to consolidate his own strength.
When Wang Can captured Chengdu, he marched north from Hanzhong, and everything he passed was pacified.
However, the areas south of Chengdu did not surrender to Wang Can.
Wang Can needed to bring these counties into the scope of his command to avoid the situation of a state within a state.
During this period, Ren Qi received news that Jia Long, Li Yuan and Cui He had been killed, so he raised an army to resist, and was soon wiped out.
This battle was completely defeated in less than three days, displaying the combat effectiveness of Wang Can's soldiers to other counties in Yizhou.
Because of this, when Wang Can's army marched south, they were invincible.
All the counties and counties they encountered opened their cities to surrender and did not dare to resist.
For a time, except for the barbarians living in the mountains and forests, the entire Yizhou was under Wang Can's control.
Because Wang Can was in power, he renovated the Taoist temples destroyed by Liu Yan in Chengdu, reduced taxes, and opened porridge sheds to help the people survive the cold winter.
This made the people more supportive of Wang Can and psychologically recognized him.
This was naturally a public opinion offensive launched by Wang Can to eliminate the impact of the capture of Yizhou.
At the same time, Wang Can was also intensively planning to select the sons of wealthy families to serve as officials, and was also waiting for Dong Zhuo to appoint him as Yizhou Mu.
Chengdu, North Gate.
A cavalryman galloped quickly towards the city.
This cavalryman has a small flag on his back, and he is a scout who delivers news.
When the cavalry was galloping, they shouted loudly to let the pedestrians blocking the road get out of the way.
When they entered the city gate, the soldiers stationed at the city gate saw this and did not stop the soldier and directly let the soldier enter the city.
"Da da" The sound of horse hoofbeats was rapid, and the cavalry quickly ran towards the state shepherd's mansion.
When they arrived at the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, the cavalryman dismounted and shouted loudly: "Report!"
The soldiers stationed at the Prefectural Mufu confirmed the identity of the scout and immediately allowed him to enter the house.
Wang Can got the news and came to the hall and asked: "The news is so urgent, what's so important?"
The scout cupped his hands and replied: "Reporting to your lord, there is news from Hanzhong that Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang has arrived in Hanzhong from Luoyang.
Now Liu Zhang is being detained by Lord Cheng Yu and Liu Zhang is not allowed to go south.
Please decide what should be done."
Wang Can raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
He dismissed the scouts with a wave of his hand, and then ordered his soldiers to invite Guo Jia and Xun You to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion for discussion. s: After the third update, call it a day.
This is a transitional chapter, it will be transferred to the next volume.
