At the end of July of the first year of Xingping, Li Guofan, the three thieves and Jia Xu, who were far away in Chang'an, learned of the incident.

learned about the defeat of Yang Feng and Yu Fuluo, saw their heads, and learned that Guo Peng occupied Taiyuan and Xihe two counties and expanded his strength.

Stealing chickens did not become a counter-erosion of rice, lost the chess pieces that could contain Guo Peng, and was also counter-directed by Guo Peng's army to entrap the Southern Huns, Li Guo Fan and the three thieves were dumbfounded, and Jia Xu also frowned.

And the misfortune is not a one-way street, and Liu Biao's side is not peaceful.

Liu Biao, the edict of the Chang'an Imperial Court, only complied with it superficially, but in fact, he did not intend to directly send troops to restrain Yuan Shu for the Chang'an Imperial Court, and it was also a posture of not saving Liu Xuan.

Not only did he not restrain Yuan Shu to help Liu Xuan, but instead sent people to Yizhou to do things, wanting to take advantage of Yizhou.

In fact, Liu Biao wants to take advantage of Yizhou, and the three thieves and Jia Xu also have to carry this pot.

Because Liu Yan's eldest son and second son were implicated in Ma Teng Hansui's attack on Li Dao's group, which led to the war, they were all killed by Li Dao, Liu Yan lost his son, and was very sad, and because he was not very suitable for the climate of Shu, he was old and in poor health, so he had back gangrene and died with a whimper.

After Liu Yan's death, Wang Shang and Zhao Wei, the important ministers around him and the representative figures of the local scholars and heroes in Yizhou, together with many local heroes and scholars, elected Liu Yan's fourth son Liu Zhang to succeed him as the pastor of Yizhou, and symbolically presented it to the court.

Probably Liu Zhang's weak character is very much in their interests.

However, after the Chang'an court learned of this, it could not allow this kind of thing to happen, so it sent Hu Mao, a native of Yingchuan, to serve as the assassin of Yizhou.

Hu Mao entered Hanzhong and took advantage of the contradiction between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in Hanzhong to try to overthrow Liu Zhang and occupy Yizhou.

Zhang Lu relied on his mother to gain Liu Yan's affection, so he was able to occupy Hanzhong under Liu Yan's instructions, cutting off traffic.

But after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang hated his mother, killed his mother, and sent his general Pang Xi to attack Zhang Lu and tear his face with Zhang Lu, so Zhang Lu was officially hostile to Liu Zhang.

At this time, Hu Mao was tempted by the official Hanzhong Taishou who was above Zhang Lu, and induced Zhang Lu to be his helper and fight against Liu Zhang with him.

Yizhou was chaotic, and Liu Biao learned that Liu Biao had coveted Yizhou for a long time, so he sent his own driver Liu Que into Yizhou to do things in Ba County.

Liu He contacted Gan Ning, a son of the Linjiang Gan clan of Ba County, who was depressed under Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, as well as his friends Lou Fa and Shen Mi, and planned to rebel, echo Hu Mao, and work together to subvert Liu Zhang's position and strive for the greatest benefit for Liu Biao.

Linjiang Gan clan is a local clan in Ba County, and it is also a scholar clan, a branch of the descendants of Gan Mao, the left prime minister of the Qin State, and Gan Ning was born here.

The famous twelve-year-old Gan Luo, who worships the prime minister, is the grandson of Gan Mao and the grandson of the prime minister of Qin Guozuo.

If you don't understand the connection here, some people will really naively think that heroes have been teenagers since ancient times, and celebrities are all reckless.

Gan Ning was called a Jinfan thief, but he was born from a famous family, and his family was widely influential in Yizhou.

He grew up from a small wave, like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, to be a hero in the local area, relying on the power of his family to run rampant in Ba County, beating officials and robbing officials' property is commonplace, and the local officials can't stop it, and today he is a little overlord with a silver gun.

When he was in his twenties, Gan Ning woke up and felt that he couldn't continue, or was simply forcibly asked by the family elders, so he symbolically read and studied, and after a period of time, he became an official.

The country bully turned into a bureaucrat, and he also went from a small official all the way to the position of a county commander in Shu County, in charge of the military affairs of a county, how to listen to it is a bit mysterious.

But in the position of Juncheng in Shu County, he was very unhappy, and soon resigned and left to go home, probably in Shu County and some big man had a very unpleasant quarrel, and he was not an opponent, so he could only leave.

This news was known to Liu Ran, so Liu Que used his eloquence and promise to rebel against Gan Ning.

made Gan Ning pull up a team in Bajun with the strength of his family, and forcibly resisted Liu Zhang's rule when Liu Yan died and Liu Zhang's new position was unstable, echoing the offensive of Hanzhong.

Liu Zhang's rule was in danger for a while, and he was threatened from both the north and the east, and the weak Liu Zhang was very afraid.

At this time, Zhao Wei, an old subordinate who followed Liu Yan back to Yizhou from Luoyang, stood up and helped Liu Zhang.

In his opinion, Gan Ning is a fool, as a native of Yizhou, he actually eats inside and out, and he really thinks that he is a character, he doesn't take Gan Ning to heart at all.

Liu Biao is also, since he has picked up Gan Ning, he should have sent troops to help Gan Ning, but he just didn't send troops.

So Zhao Wei was appointed by Liu Zhang as the general of the expedition to the east, commanded the army to attack Gan Ning, defeated the lonely Gan Ning in a battle, and the defeated Gan Ning fled to Jingzhou in embarrassment, and the family was blacked out by Yizhou since then, and paid the price for his recklessness.

The first battle to pacify the rebels, with prestige, Zhao Wei also took advantage of the victory to pursue, all the way to the border of Jingzhou, the garrison in the border of Quren County to guard against Liu Biao, the eastern border of Yizhou is stable.

In the north, Zhang Lu was more than defensive, not enterprising, although the momentum was very strong, and it was beneficial to the help of the state assassin history, but it was never able to break Liu Zhang's army, so the two armies held each other, and Hu Mao was never able to enter Yizhou, and was in an embarrassing situation.

Through a series of battles, Liu Zhang actively or passively "sat firm" in the position of Yizhou pastor and began his 20-year reign in Yizhou.

However, the intentions of the Chang'an court and Liu Biao both failed, and the internal and external cooperation could not take Yizhou, and the situation became a lose-lose situation.

Liu Biao's ambition was thwarted, Gan Ning and others lost their use value, and they were placed in Nanyang County by him, and Gan Ning fell into a low ebb period of his life since then. Despite this, his ambitions for Yizhou have not disappeared.

The intention of the Chang'an court failed, and it was never able to meddle in Yizhou, and Yizhou was still the Yizhou of Yizhou people.

Jia Xu's three-flowering strategy failed completely, and all efforts to expand his power outward and contain the Kwantung clique failed.

At this time, Li Guofan and the three thieves actually had a contradiction again, and this time the contradiction was even greater and irreconcilable.

Fan Chou played a major role in the war to defeat Ma Teng Han Sui, and then had a conflict with Li Wei's nephew Li Li.

Li Li was timid, did not dare to fight, after the war was scolded by Fan Chou, Li Li held a grudge, so he often said bad things about Fan Chou in front of Li Wei, Li Wei became more and more suspicious of Fan Chou, and Fan Chou's prestige was increasing day by day, Li Wei decided to do it.

During a banquet, Li Wei sent his subordinate Hu Feng to assassinate the unsuspecting Fan Chou on the spot, and Fan Chou died as a result.

Then, the generals of the Liangzhou army had a distrust of Li Dao for this, everyone was in danger, everyone was worried that they would also be killed by Li Dao, Li Dao began to lose people's hearts, and he himself did not care.

Li Wei's behavior made Guo Yan, the number two person in the Liangzhou Army, also worried.

Guo Yan often participates in Li Wei's banquets, and there is nothing to do, but Guo Yan's wife is worried that Li Wei will send a beauty to Guo Yan, which will cause her to fall out of favor, so she provokes it.

She framed Li Wei for poisoning Guo Yan, and after Guo Yan was drunk by Li Wei once, she even tried her best to provoke Guo Yan, making Guo Yan suspiciously believe that Li Wei poisoned him, and had no choice but to use fecal water to induce vomiting.

Yes, Guo Wei smacked and vomited, vomited so darkly, and never went to Li Wei's banquet again, Li Wei sent someone to ask, Guo Wei prevaricated, and after many round-trips, Li Wei and Guo Yan turned against each other.

So at the end of August of the first year of Xingping, Li Dao and Guo Yan officially turned against each other, and the Li Guo Rebellion began.
