Although Youzhou has entered a peaceful day, the same cannot be said for other states in the Han Dynasty.
Heavy snow disasters not only occur in Youzhou and Bingzhou, but also occur in other places, and are even more severe!
In November of the first year of Chuping, Qingzhou suffered a heavy snow disaster. However, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, was incompetent and greedy, bullying and exploiting his people.
When the snowstorm hit, the people were displaced. Instead of releasing food for disaster relief, Jiao He intensified his efforts to squeeze the people. Eventually, the people rose up and joined the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, burning government offices, killing officials, and seizing food.
At the same time, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou rebelled together, and for a time, the momentum was huge.
Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, defeated the Yellow Turbans. However, Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, was defeated by the Yellow Turbans. His soldiers fled after hearing the news. As a result, the Yellow Turbans of Yanzhou in Xuzhou defected to the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou. There were as many as one million people and their morale was like a rainbow. , Qingzhou almost fell.
Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, abandoned the city and fled, while Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, sent troops to attack the Yellow Turbans. However, the Yellow Turban general Zhang Rao, who was active in Jizhou, led an army of 200,000 to attack from the north of Jizhou. He was defeated and fled. Zhang Rao led the army to besiege Beihai. Attack the city day and night.
In the Beihai crisis, Kong Rong quickly sent people around to ask for help.
Yuan Shao in the Bohai Sea received Kong Rong's request for help. Feng Ji saw an opportunity and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, there are Liu Zhe in Youzhou and Liu Yu in Jizhou. These two people are blocking my lord's development. Although I am not afraid Liu Yu, but Liu Zhe is so powerful that we are unable to fight against him. If Beihai is besieged by the Yellow Turbans, this is an opportunity. As long as we defeat the Yellow Turbans in Beihai, recruit the Yellow Turbans, occupy Beihai, and expand our strength, we will definitely be able to fight Liu Zhe in the future. .¡±
Yuan Shaoshen thought so and quickly raised troops to rescue.
After the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans captured Linzi, they turned their target to Yanzhou.
In early December of the first year of Chuping, 400,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans attacked Taishan County. Taishan County Governor Yingshao suffered heavy losses and could not defend himself. He could only defend Taishan City, and all other counties fell.
When the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans attacked Jibei, Han Fu, who was the prime minister of Jibei at the time, was unable to resist and could only defend the city and ask Yuan Shao for help.
However, Yuan Shao felt very embarrassed. He only led an army of 100,000 to come to rescue, and he could only save one of the two.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered his best friend, Cao Cao Cao Mengde.
At this time, Cao Cao was training troops in Chenliu. At that time, he suffered heavy losses when he attacked Dong Zhuo. He had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, so he could only train troops frantically.
When he received a letter from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao asked Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, to borrow troops. Liu Dai generously lent Cao Cao 10,000 troops. At the same time, Cao Cao also got a counselor, Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu¡¯s suggestion to Cao Cao was to go to Jibei and join forces with Jibei to attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army from the north.
However, when Cao Cao met Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Jibei, the city of Jinan was destroyed and Han Fu fled in panic.
After breaking through Jinan City, the strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army expanded rapidly, and they directly attacked Dongjun, the seat of Yanzhou.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, ignored the advice of his subordinates and led his troops out of the city to fight with the Yellow Turbans. As a result, he was defeated by the powerful Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and he himself died in the rebellion.
Cao Cao and Bao Xin led the rescue force and fought with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the Shouzhang area of ??Dongping.
Because the governor of Yanzhou died in battle, the position of governor became vacant. Cao Cao was keen on this position and wanted to win the support of Yanzhou officials through a beautiful battle.
Cao Cao, who was anxious in his heart, did not listen to Cheng Yu's strategy of avoiding the enemy's edge and attacking from afar. He firmly believed that the Yellow Turban Army had been victorious in succession, and he was already proud and underestimated the enemy. He only needed to design an ambush to defeat the Yellow Turban Army.
So, he and Bao Xin led the troops to attack, but they were attacked head-on by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army. Hundreds of thousands of people were like a rainbow. Cao Cao and his men had less than 50,000 troops, so no matter how hard they planned, it was useless.
During the pursuit of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, Bao Xin died in battle. Cao Cao could only escape by relying on the desperate fighting of his men. After the first battle, less than 20,000 people escaped from 50,000 people.
Afterwards, Cao Cao paid serious attention to Cheng Yu and listened carefully to Cheng Yu's opinions. He began to harass the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army sporadically and did not engage in direct confrontation with them.
The number of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army soldiers reached 400,000, and they took more than a million people with them. With such a large number of people and no fixed territory, it was difficult to supply.
Cheng Yu saw this and made suggestions to Cao Cao. On the one hand, he continued to harass and attack the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and on the other hand, he continued to send people to persuade the Yellow Turban Army to surrender.
The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army was unwilling to do so. They could not attack Dongjun for a long time, so they wanted to retreat to the Beihai area. However, the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army that besieged Beihai was defeated by Yuan Shao, and Zhang Rao alsoHe led the defeated army to surrender to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao recruited hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in the first battle.
Furthermore, Yuan Shao took advantage of Kong Rong's lack of time to take back all the remaining counties in Beihai County and arranged for his cronies to take control of these cities. Beyond Beihai City, the rest of Beihai County belongs to Yuan Shao.
At the same time, Yuan Shao occupied all other parts of Qingzhou, and Qingzhou has fallen into Yuan Shao's hands. Yuan Shao's territory suddenly expanded from Bohai County to Qingzhou, and his strength expanded rapidly.
With the return route to Beihai cut off, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army fought and retreated to Jibei.
