Chapter 641: The first half of the first year of Xingping

Since the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty and the change of Chuping to Xingping, Cangtian does not seem to have heard the humble wish of the Son of Heaven. The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, which were divided, have fallen into a fragmented and competitive field since Dong Zhuo's rebellion.

Yuan Shaoxiong occupied Jizhou, Gongsun Zhan controlled Youzhou, Ma Chao controlled Yongzhou Jisili District, Yuan Shu occupied Yuzhou and northern Yangzhou, and Jingzhou was still controlled by Liu Biao. In addition, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong all formed independent forces. The situation of warlord division before the establishment of the Three Kingdoms was so chaotic. It seems that a chaotic era awaits the arrival of big heroes.

And in this way, the princes of all walks of life are still not satisfied. At the moment when WeChat in the center of the Han room has fallen to the freezing point. They showed their fierce claws one after another, and fought for personal gain. Under the natural disaster**, the entire first year of Xingping was the opposite of the long-cherished wish of the common people.

At the beginning of this year, Yuan Shaowei had another dispute with Gongsun Zhan, and after the two states of Jiyou competed, he set his sights on the competition for Qingzhou. After Cao Cao welcomed back Liu Xie, the son of heaven, the princes of all parties no longer put the Han family in their eyes. Yuan Shao privately took his eldest son Yuan Tan as the Qingzhou Thorn History, and ordered him to attack Tian Kai, the Qingzhou Thorn Shi placed by Gongsun Zhan. Tian Kai led troops to meet the battle, but was repeatedly defeated by Yuan Tan. Soon, the Han court sent an envoy Zhao Qi to Kanto to make peace for Yuan and Gongsun. So the two armies quit the truce, and Yuan Shao's forces entered Qingzhou.

In the spring of this year, Wei County in Jizhou mutinied, and tens of thousands of troops in the Poison Year of the Black Mountain Army captured Yecheng and killed Wei County Taishou. In May, Yuan Shao marched to Chaoge and attacked the Black Mountain Army near Lugut Mountain and the Poison Department. The siege lasted for five days, beheaded by poison, and killed more than 10,000 Montenegrin troops. Yuan Shao immediately marched along the mountain, defeated the Black Mountain Army in the Mustache Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Digen and other departments, and beheaded tens of thousands of people. And the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan fought in Changshan, Zhang Yan's army was very strong, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers, thousands of horses, the two armies fought fiercely for more than ten days, both sides were killed and wounded, and the soldiers were exhausted. So the battle was struck, and each led his troops and retreated.

It can be said that the first half of the first year of Xingping was a dazzling moment for Yuan Shao to shine under the Fourth and Fifth Princes. Under the situation, Yuan Shao worked hard and resisted the internal rebellion and the incursion of Gongsun Zan from outside with a dignified and upright attitude, and completely established and developed his prestige in Jizhou.

It can be seen from this that Yuan Shao's original entrepreneurial plan - according to the river in the south, Yan and Dai in the north, and the people of Rong Di, and the south to fight for the world. - Like Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, it is feasible to first unify the north of the Yellow River, and then use Hebei as a base and nomadic cavalry as the auxiliary to go south to fight for the world. What can be seen even more is that Yuan Shao is a man of great talent and virtue, not an ordinary second generation official.

And this year, Yuan Shao is not the only one who also shines. Cao Cao, the new upstart of the princes, although there are no earth-shattering achievements. However, he continued to implement the policy of instigation and pacification, and incorporated the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Jibeiguo. As a result, Yanzhou under Cao Cao's rule reached the peak of faith and hope under his reputation of loyalty and righteousness in serving the Son of Heaven.

Not only that, at the beginning of the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao was under the influence of the Ma family to open the imperial examination. The Han court tried Confucianism, and there were more than 40 participants this time, and the first person was given to Lang Zhongguan, and the second was given to the prince, and the next was recalled. Although the number of people in this palace examination is very small, it can be seen that Cao Cao is also actively changing his identity, from a prince, to a Ma family, with the foresight and wisdom of seeing the world as a great cause.

In the same year, Cao Cao also ordered the people to be raised in the fields and restore the agricultural economy in Yanzhou. This made Cao Cao a level higher than other princes in terms of strategy and foresight.

The first half of the first year of Xingping was a very important half year for Cao Cao. He obtained the two decisive strategic decisions of 'Fengdai Tianzi' and 'Tuntian Raising the People', and also incorporated 300,000 Qingzhou troops, which established Yanzhou's decisive position, and it seems that he gradually began to move towards a superior ruling tendency under one person and ten thousand people. Moreover, in early April, he also gave birth to a talented and very precious son, Cao Zhi.

This year, Cao Cao was thirty-nine years old. The first half of this year, although it was not Cao Cao's most beautiful half year, was definitely Cao Cao's most proud and comfortable half a year.

At the same time, Koto was not at peace. A rising star is announcing his coming to this era with his unique domineering demeanor.

This person's name is Sun Ce. The eldest son of the Jiangdong Tigers, Sun Bofu.

The first Han court took Liu Xuan, the imperial historian, as the history of Yangzhou Thorn, and because the state was governed by Yuan Shu, Liu Xuan moved to Qu'a, Wu County. After Sun Ce broke through the Lujiang River, Liu Miao was afraid that Yuan Shu would then plot against him, so he expelled Danyang Taishou Wu Jing and Sun Ce's cousin Danyang Duwei Sun Ben, entered Danyang, and divided the main roads with generals Fan Neng, Yu Mi, Zhang Ying, etc., to guard against Yuan Shu.

Wu Jing and Sun Ben retreated to Liyang. Yuan Shu made Wu Jing and Sun Ben counterattack, and the battle was unfavorable repeatedly. Sun Ce offered his jade seal to Yuan Shu, and after getting 3,000 soldiers and horses, he went south to Jiangdong to help Wu Jing attack Liu Xuan. From this, Sun Ce began to march in Liyang, collecting troops along the way, and there were five or six thousand people in Liyang. After that, he got rid of Yuan Shu's control and began the cause of pacifying Jiangdong.

After arriving in Liyang, Sun Ce had been helped by Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others. Immediately attack the two Yangtze River crossings in Hengjiang and Dangli, which Liu Xuan's generals Fan Neng and Zhang Ying refused to defend. Fan Neng and Zhang Ying were defeated, and Sun Ce immediately crossed the Yangtze River to the east, captured the Liu Xuan military camp in Niuzhu Mountain, and got all his grain, weapons and other baggage.

After Sun Ce broke through the Muling City guarded by Xue Li and the Xiapi City guarded by Zhirong, he broke through Meiling, Hushu, Jiangcheng and other places, and smashed the Wujun Qu'a occupied by Liu Xuan. Liu Miao was defeated in the battle and retreated to Dantu. Sun Ce led the army into Qu'a, pacified the counties, told the people, all those who surrendered under Liu Xuan's subordinates were not guilty, and the people were happy to join the army, and their families were exempted from service, and between ten days, 20,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 horses were collected. So Sun Ce got to Danyang County and Wu County, Weizhen Jiangdong.

This year is a year for Sun Ce to show his strength. Based on only 3,000 soldiers and horses, sweeping Jiangdong is a unique achievement of the Han Dynasty. The name of the Jiangdong lion cub resounded throughout the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, and it overshadowed the trend of Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, who were known as the "West Liang Splendor", and the world used "North Ma Nansun" to praise these two young talents.

In this year, there was also a small episode, that is, Zhenrong, which was broken by Sun Ce, made outstanding contributions to the rise of Buddhism in later generations. Futu Temple for Buddhism to penetrate into the hearts of the people of Danyang, Xuzhou.

Zhenrong is a native of Danyang. At the end of the Han Dynasty, during the war, because of the same county as Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, hundreds of people gathered to follow. He was appointed to supervise the grain transportation of Guangling, Xiapi and Pengcheng counties, and served as the prime minister. Rong worships the Buddha, believes in the Futu Sect, that is, the three counties are endowed with the big Futu Temple, is a heavy building, the pavilion is deep and wide, can accommodate more than 3,000 people, the Buddha is painted with gold, and the brocade is the clothes. Every bathing Buddha, set up fasting meals, cloth seats on the road, four or five miles square, go to eat and watch the ceremony as many as 10,000 people.

After the introduction of Buddhist teachings to the White Horse Temple, until the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, it was an indelible deed. Since the time of Taoism and scripture culture in China, Buddhism has penetrated into the Han Dynasty to the East, which is really a great cultural cause.

However, this year, even though there were so many dazzling deeds that caused a sensation in the Han Dynasty, it made the floating Han Dynasty even more precarious and discredited. However, in the area of Sili, Ma Mengqi, the head of the Ma family, still took the most glorious coat in the first year of Xingping with the move of migrating millions of victims in Sili. The prestige is close to the Han dynasty that has been precipitated for hundreds of years. As a result, it is difficult to cover the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

And the next events don't seem to be in accordance with the wishes of the Han Emperor. The princes of the Quartet have no Han family. Yuan Shu of Yuzhou, also because of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Ma Chao, Sun Ce four people bombarded the sky, restless heart, in the second half of the first year of Xingping, set off the sword war in the four states of Yu, Jing, Yan, Sili, the situation of the entire Han Dynasty, seems to be in a dark and turbulent situation, towards a chaotic road without knowing the end
