The second year of Chuping, that is, 191 AD, was an eventful autumn.

Since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, the princes of Shandong, although nominally, still maintained an alliance.

But in fact, the alliance between the princes has become unworthy of the name.

In this crusade against Dong Zhuo, the princes are all busy people with impure minds. Only Cao Cao and Sun Jian shined in the war against Dong Zhuo.

The princes were all afraid of Dong Zhuo's might and hesitated. Although Cao Mengde was repeatedly defeated, he also demonstrated his loyalty to the Han Dynasty and his unparalleled courage.

As for Sun Jian, he repeatedly defeated Dong Zhuojun and was the first to attack Luoyang. The title of Jiangdong Tiger is well deserved.

But he still succumbed to Yuan Shu's tent and was constrained by others.

Speaking of Yuan Shu, we have to mention Yuan Shao.

The fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, protégés and former officials are all over the world. Among them, the two brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, are both heroes.

Especially Yuan Shao, although he is a concubine, he was born handsome and mighty, and he is deeply loved by Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui.

Yuan Shao relied on his world seniority and became a young man, and he was already the magistrate of Puyang County at the age of 20.

Soon after, due to his mother's illness and death, he stayed at home, and then continued to make up for his father's funeral, for a total of six years.

The Han Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety, and Yuan Shao mourned for six years, giving himself a very good reputation.

Moreover, he is a young and good ranger, and Zhang Mengzhuo, He Boqiu, Wu Ziqing, Xu Ziyuan, Wu Yuyu and others are all friends.

In addition, he plotted to punish the eunuchs, and was elected by the princes as the leader of the alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo, which made his prestige reach its peak.

However, under Yuan Shao's account, although Wen Fengji, Xu You and others, Wu has Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he only has a county in Bohai.

Because Jizhou Mu Hanfu is a protégé of the Yuan family, he has always supported Yuan Shao's money and grain.

Later, Han Fu was afraid that Yuan Shao would plot to seize his Jizhou, and when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, he began to slowly reduce Yuan Shao's food, wanting to shake Yuan Shao's military heart.

From then on, Yuan Shao secretly hated Han Fu in his heart.

In the second year of the first peace, Han Fu's general Koji Yi rebelled, and Han Fu fought with Koji Yi and lost the battle.

Yuan Shao already resented Han Fu, so he befriended Qu Yi.

His advisor Feng Ji even said to Yuan Shao: "Those who raise major matters cannot stand on their own feet unless they are based on a state."

"Today, the Ji Department is strong, and Han Fu is mediocre, but he can secretly ask Gongsun Zhan's generals to go south, and after he takes Jizhou, he will divide it equally with Zhan. When Gongsun Chan heard this, he would definitely send troops to attack Jizhou. ”

When Han Fu saw Gongsun Chan sending troops, he must have been terrified in his heart. Then the lord sent a defender to say the blessings and misfortunes for Han Fuchen, and Fu was forced to have no choice but to give Jizhou to the lord. ”

Yuan Shao followed Feng Ji's advice and immediately wrote to Gongsun Zhan.

When Gongsun Chan received the letter, he was really overjoyed, so he led his troops to come, under the banner of crusading against Dong Zhuo, but he was preparing to secretly attack Han Fu.

When Han Fu heard that Gongsun Chan was attacking, he was really afraid.

Later, Yuan Shao sent senior cadres and Xun Chen, a native of Yingchuan, to take Jizhou to Han Fu to explain the benefits and disadvantages.

When Han Fu heard this, he didn't listen to the advice of Changshi Gengwu, Don't Drive Min Chun, and Captain Caidu, and insisted on ceding Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

Geng Wu and Min Chun did not want Yuan Shao to get Jizhou, so they assassinated Yuan Shao when Yuan Shao entered the city, but they were killed by Yuan Shao's generals.

After Han Fu sacrificed Jizhou, Yuan Shao did not treat him well, but only named him the general of Fenwu, and he had neither soldiers nor official subordinates.

Later, Yuan Shao appointed Zhu Han, a native of Hanoi, as the capital official.

Zhu Han had been despised by Han Fu before, and at this time, he wanted to cater to Yuan Shao's wishes, so he sent troops to surround Han Fu's residence without authorization, and drew his sword to enter the house.

Han fled upstairs, and Zhu Han caught Han Fu's eldest son and broke his two feet.

Although Yuan Shao later arrested Zhu Han and put him to death.

But Han Fu was still worried and frightened, and begged Yuan Shao to let him go. Yuan Shao agreed, so Han Fu went to defect, and Chen Liujun guarded Zhang Miao.

Later, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to meet Zhang Miao, and when he discussed the secret, the envoy whispered in Zhang Miao's ear.

Han Fu was here at the time, thinking that they were calculating themselves. After a while, he got up and went into the toilet and committed suicide with a book knife that he had scraped Jane.

After Yuan Shao got Jizhou, his subordinates included Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Yi, Zhao Zhao, and Chun Yuqiong.

The text includes Fu Zhu, Ju Pei, Xiao Ji, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Chen Lin, Cui Yan and others.

In addition, Jizhou is rich and has a large population. For a time, Yuan Shao's reputation was skyrocketing.

However, Yuan Shao used Gongsun Zan to seize Jizhou, but he did not fulfill his promise and share Jizhou equally with him. From then on, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan had a bad relationship.

At the same time, Cao Cao led his troops into Dongjun, reorganized the armament, suppressed the rebellion in the army, and was asked by Yuan Shao to be named the Taishou of Dongjun.

Cao Cao arrived in Dongjun, and the strategists and generals came to vote, and it didn't take long for him to have Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Lu Qian, and Mao Jue.

In addition, Cao Cao's account is also a fierce general, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Le Jin all have generals.

Since then, Cao Cao's subordinates have strategists, military generals, and Weizhen Shandong.

In the same year, Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, killed the Taishou of Hanzhong and monopolized the military and political power of Yizhou.

Yuan Shu had a bad relationship with Yuan Shao, and in order to compete with him for Yuzhou, he sent Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Yue and Sun Jian to attack Yuan Shao's subordinate Zhou Ang.

The two marched unfavorably, and Gongsun Yue died in the chaos.

Gongsun Chan was furious when he heard the news, and he resented being used by Yuan Shao, so he raised troops to attack Yuan Shao.

In this troubled era, the princes are all singing on your side, and the battle is not lively. For a time, the Han Empire was full of smoke.

Dong Zhuo sat in Chang'an, watching the scene of the princes fighting, and was very happy in his heart.

However, it was said that after Chen Xu pacified and merged the state, he had been staying in Jinyang to deal with all the affairs in the state.

After a period of turmoil, the state began to become orderly again.

And a series of decrees promulgated by Chen Xu made the people in the territory return to their hearts and praised Chen Xu's name one after another.

After dealing with the affairs in hand, Chen Xu stretched his waist, thinking of his wife, children, and Chen's father and mother at home, and a trace of guilt flashed in his heart.

embarked on the road of competing for world domination, Chen Xu actually missed the old days a little.

Although Chen Xu now gets the awe of others wherever he goes, he feels deeply tired.

Now, only when he sees that the people under his rule are living better and better, Chen Xu will feel a trace of joy.

Until now, Chen Xu rarely goes home, and is often busy all night in the official mansion.

"Now that everything in the state has settled down, I should also take some time to go home and spend time with them."

Now Chen Jing, Chen Hu, and Chen Qing have all been entrusted with important tasks by him and are taking up positions in other places. But their families are small, but they are all in Jinyang.

In fact, it is not only Chen Jing and them, but even Cheng Yu, Wang Yan, Zhang Yang, Zhang Liao and others are like this.

Since ancient times, most of the military generals who have been released by the monarch will not follow their families together.

To put it nicely, it's not to distract them. To put it mildly, it is to be taken hostage.

Although Chen Xu trusted the generals very much, they either wanted to avoid suspicion or show their loyalty, except for their wives and concubines, their parents and children were basically placed in Jinyang by them.

"When I have time, I will also go to see a few more elderly people."

Chen Xu thought as he rushed home.

As soon as he returned to the door, Chen Xu heard the child's cry, as well as the sound of Zhang Ling and Zhao Yu coaxing the child.

Hearing some noisy sounds, Chen Xu's heart calmed down.

He pushed open the door and saw his eldest son Chen Zheng crawling around on the ground, and his second son Chen Jun and youngest daughter were held by Zhao Yu and Zhang Ling respectively.

Two children, you cry, I answer, their crying, in Chen Xu's compound, reflect each other.

"Ahh

Zhao Yu, who was coaxing the child, suddenly saw Chen Xu enter the door and shouted in surprise.

In the past days, even if Chen Xu returned home, it was already very late. Zhao Yu didn't expect his lover to come back so early today.

Zhang Ling also saw Chen Xu, she hugged Chen Ting slightly, and asked crisply: "Jun came back really early today, I'll go get you some water to wash your face." ”

Zhao Yu hurriedly said, "Let's go with me!" ”

As soon as she was about to pass, Chen Jun in her arms began to cry again.

Chen Xu laughed and said, "What kind of face do you wash?" Maybe later, I'll be by these boys again! ”

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Zhang Ling and Zhao Yu couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

Seeing his father enter the door, Chen Zheng's eyes lit up, and he staggered to Chen Xu and hugged his thighs.

Saliva was pouring from his mouth, rubbing against Chen Xu's trouser legs.

Seeing his son's appearance, Chen Xu couldn't help laughing. Now Chen Zheng is three years old, and he doesn't cry as well as before, and he urinates on him from time to time.

In addition, Xiao Chen Zheng has been a tiger since he was a child, and he is very similar to Chen Xu. So Chen Xu also likes him very much and often teases him.

Chen Xu pinched Xiao Chen Zheng's waist, lifted him high above his head, and spun around in the air a few times. Xiao Chen Zheng was not afraid, his big eyes were open, and he giggled.

Not long after teasing Xiao Chen Zheng, Chen Xu heard the sound of opening the door. Raising his eyes, Chen Xu found that it was Tian Feng who came in.

For the two military divisions of Tian Feng and Cheng Yu, Chen Xu had already instructed the soldiers guarding the door that as long as he was at home, he could directly let the two in.

So when Tian Feng came, he didn't knock on the door.

Putting Chen Zheng on the ground, Chen Xu asked Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao, why are you coming to look for me now?" ”

Tian Feng's face couldn't hide the joy, he said to Chen Xu: "Lord, great joy, great joy!" ”

Chen Xu's eyes lit up and asked, "Why are you happy?" ”

Tian Feng replied: "There was a Confucian scholar just now, I went forward to test his talent, but I didn't want to, this person is not only proficient in government affairs, but also a rare wise man." ”

"Is it gratifying that such a great talent has come to join the lord?"

can get such praise from Tian Feng, how can someone who comes be a mediocre talent?

Chen Xu hurriedly asked: "Who is the surname of the new investor?" ”

Tian Feng replied a little depressedly: "That person refused to say his name, but he just wanted to see the lord first." ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he hurriedly pulled Tian Feng's arm and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Take me to him! ”
