The words are divided into two ends,

Li Su, Guan Yu and others went to Jiangyang to prepare for the southern expedition, and they couldn't figure it out within two months.

Dong Zhuo's operation of Liu Bei's camp "spraying officials to disgust you with the imperial edict", but he has not completely dealt with - he has solved Xun You, but he has only solved the infiltration of Yizhou. Therefore, he turned his attention to the Youji land and saw how Mi Zhu, the current prefect of Liaodong, would deal with it when facing Gongsun Du, who came to Liaodong thousands of miles to take office.

Because Liaodong is far away and wars are constantly occurring in the Central Plains. When Gongsun Du arrived in Jizhou, he was one and a half months later than Xun You arrived in Chengdu. He only walked to Pingyuan County in July, and then passed Bohai County northward, and entered the bitter and cold place.

But before entering the Bohai Sea, Gongsun Du had to spend ten days and half a month avoiding the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

Five months have passed since Han Fu and Qiao Mao left, and the power reshuffle in Kanto has further accelerated.

First of all, because Gongsun Zan's power is much weaker than in the same period of history, many of the initial forces accumulated by Gongsun Zan were separated by Liu Bei.

Therefore, when Gongsun Zan took the initiative to attack south in the first half of the year, he failed to take down the three counties in history that Gongsun Zan wanted to be granted to Liu Bei, Tian Kai and Shan Jing (Pingyuan, Jibei, and Le'an, among which Jibei belonged to Yanzhou, so Gongsun Zan originally appointed Shanjing as the governor of Yanzhou, and Le'an belonged to Qingzhou, and Gongsun Zan originally appointed Tian Kai as the governor of Qingzhou).

The absence of plains, Le'an and Jibei means that Gongsun Zan's southward advance only took over Yuan Shao's original nest, Bohai County. Yuan Shao had more foundation than the same period in history and recovered faster. The Battle of the Border Bridge, which originally had to endure until winter, also happened in early July in early autumn, but the location was no longer the Border Bridge.

Gongsun Zan's attack depth was more than 300 miles shallow, and the battlefield retreated downstream along the Baigou River for more than 300 miles. Finally, a battle occurred on both sides of the Baigou River in the western suburbs of Nanpi, the capital of Bohai County.

The main force of Yuan Shao's army led by Que Yi, with the first camp as the core, was not surprisingly severely injured the "various horses and Yicong" on the banks of the Baigou River (because Liu Bei and Zhao Yun separated too many white horses, Gongsun Zan could not find enough solid-colored war horses, so his righteousness was never entangled in the color of the hair)

This means that Yuan Shao's hastily retreated and the stage of local resistance ended more than four months ahead of schedule. The Yuan and Gongsun armies were about to enter a stage of stalemate of strength.

...

The outbreak of the Nanpi Battle delayed Gongsun Du's residence in Pingyuan County for several days, and he was a little impatient to wait.

With his hundreds of followers, the guards were also expensive to eat horses along the way. Gongsun Du thought about another road to Liaodong - from Pingyuan County to Qingzhou east, and searching for a ship near Donglai to cross the strait to Liaodong.

Unfortunately, this road was not successful, and another wave of war was encountered on the southern line - the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans broke out again. Not only could Donglai not go, the Yellow Turbans also flew wildly to Yanzhou in the east.

Gongsun Du, who was judging the situation, immediately retracted back to the plain because the plain was on the north bank of the Yellow River. The Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou would not deliberately cross the Yellow River to rob, and the north bank was temporarily safe.

As a result, within a few days, Gongsun Du heard a very explosive news: Yanzhou Governor Liu Dai personally led his direct troops to Jibei County on the other side of Pingyuan County to fight with the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. Then Liu Dai was killed by the Yellow Turbans in the chaos, and Yanzhou suddenly became a state of war without a governor.

Fortunately, Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, who presided over the front battlefield of Jibei County, expressed his support for Cao Cao, the prefect of Dongjun, to temporarily take over the position of governor, and led everyone to fight against the Yellow Turban Army that was wandering in Qingzhou. With the support of Bao Xin, Cao Cao finally achieved the leap from a "county-level cadre" to a "executive deputy state-level cadre". It has been only four or five months since Cao Cao became the prefect of Dongjun.

But the nonsense is that Cao Cao, who had just been promoted, is actually not very strong in combat.

After Cao Cao took over the work, he immediately fought with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban on the front line of Jibei County. Although Cao Cao's military strength is now stronger than the same period in history, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban was weakened by about 20% due to Liu Bei's beating three years ago. Moreover, the thief leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban also accidentally evolved into Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others, and joined the Taishan bandits.

However, facing Zang Ba's first battle, Cao Cao was still beaten to death, and the striker suffered serious losses. Cao Cao himself was almost forced into a desperate situation by Zang Ba, but the degree was not as bad as the same period in history. Fortunately, the prime minister of Jibei Bao Xin refused to sacrifice himself to save others, so he saved Cao Cao and died in battle.

With the belief of avenging Bao Xin, Cao Cao fought for several days in such extreme anger and finally repelled Zang Ba, recovered Jibei and Dongping the two counties, and drove the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans into Yanzhou back to Taishan County.

Then Cao Cao asked the entire army to mourn for the tool brothers. After Bao Xin completed the task of "helping Cao Cao take over the deputy state-level cadres", he received a lunch box and left the stage of history.

However, due to this series of coincidental butterfly effect, Cao Cao made a poisonous oath in front of Bao Xinling that one day he would kill Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other thieves to take revenge and pay tribute to his good brothers in heaven.

Of course, just listen to Cao Cao's poisonous oath, but it may not be taken seriously. In history, when Cao Ang and Dian Wei died, Cao Cao also hated Zhang Xiu as if he was anything, but later when the battle with Yuan Shao and Guandu was at its worst, he heard that Zhang Xiu was willing to surrender, but he was still so arrogant that he said, "Don't take his old grudges into his heart."

Whether he really wants to kill Zang Basun Guan in the end depends entirely on whether Cao Cao was forced to join forces with his old enemies in this life.

...

All the details of this have nothing to do with Gongsun Du.

He was just blocked by chance during the rise of Yuan and Cao. Since he did not dare to cross the Yellow River to Donglai, then wait slowly.

During the waiting period, Gongsun Du was also inquiring about the news. On the one hand, he was looking for local merchants to collect all information from Liaodong, and wanted to know, "If we take the imperial edict from the court to take over as the prefect of Liaodong, will the resistance be great?"

Because the Mi family's official merchant fleet is still large, you will know after a little inquiry about "whether Mi Zhu, the current prefect of Liaodong, wins the hearts of the people in the local area."

Gongsun Du received the reply, "Mifu Jun was kind to allow the people to borrow grain and cattle to participate in the official garrison all year round, but he was just forcing the people to repay the loan on time and was willing to give grace. The interest rate was not high. He was really a rare kind gentleman."

To put it bluntly, hundreds of thousands of people think that Mi Zhu, the "official low-interest loan magistrate with less than 50% of the interest per year", is so popular that it is too safe to follow Mi Zhu to open up the country.

In addition, Gongsun Du also roughly learned a few data: when Liu Bei pacified Zhang Chun, the population of the four counties in Liaodong was only 350,000. Later, when Liu Bei and Mi Zhu handed over, the population of Liaodong had increased by more than 100,000, which looked like 470,000 or 80,000. The more were Donglai, the Beihai refugees who immigrated to the military farm in the world, and the population of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.

Now, with Mi Zhu becoming the prefect for two and a half years, and the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou have not been extinguished for a long time, they continue to provide Mi Zhu with 50,000 or 60,000 refugees every year. Now the total population of the four counties in Liaodong has reached 600,000, and the official loans and military farming are in full swing, with enough soldiers and food.

I heard that even Lelang County has been greatly developed. There are already 20,000 households planting rice between the Wushui and the Han River in the south of Lelang County. Mi Zhu also set up a new county there called Daifang County without telling the court. (The Wushui is the Datong River, so this Daifang County is the land between Pyongyang and Seoul)

The climate seems to be similar to that of the Qingzhou Peninsula. All the crops that can be grown in Qingzhou can be grown there. In the first two years, immigrants who have grown Qingzhou leeks and Qingzhou green onions as soon as possible and adapt to the local climate, they planted Qingzhou leeks and Qingzhou green onions every day. They drank the soy sauce soup made from leeks and green onions to make rice.

After inquiring about this news, Gongsun Du knew that he had basically no possibility of seizing power by relying on peaceful handover or "winning Mi Zhu's subordinates to get closer to him".

The only person who is likely to win over is at most Xu Rong, the commander who once had a relationship with his fellow countrymen and had several meetings with officials in the same dynasty. He is not sure about this, and it depends on what price Gongsun Du can make.

So, Gongsun Du finally thought to himself: "Yuan Shao and Cao Cao seem to have no intention of doing a 'income and long attack' unfair deal, and they are still in a stalemate and will not make any mistakes for me. There is no way, so they can only find a way to communicate with Gongsun Zan. Although he is the Gongsun clan in western Liaoning and I am the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, not a clan, but there is still a chance to condom.

If I promised that after I became the prefect of Liaodong, I would take out some of the Liaodong troops and money to support him in attacking Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, who was eager to expand his power and his troops, would agree. After all, I still have the imperial edict, so he would not have to send too many troops. I would slightly assist me with one or two thousand soldiers and try to attack Mi Zhu, and everyone else could surrender with the imperial edict. The base is small and the profit is big, and the road is not far, so Gongsun Zan would not be unclear."

After making up this idea, Gongsun Du took hundreds of followers and guards to quickly pass through Bohai County, which had just finished the war, and entered the actual control area of ​​Gongsun Zan near Zhangwu County, more than a hundred miles north of Nanpi County.

Gongsun Zan's patrol cavalry discovered Gongsun Du and was about to surround him and was about to question him. Gongsun Du took the initiative to show his kindness: "I am the imperial court's imperial title of Liaodong Prefect Gongsun Du, and I have a generous gift to you. Don't he want to send only thousands of troops to exchange for the four Liaodong counties that are affiliated with him?"

In order to prove himself, Gongsun Du did not hesitate to show the imperial edict to the patrol officer. In fact, he had a clear idea of ​​retreating, "If Gongsun Zan is hostile, he will flee back to the area controlled by Yuan Shao to join forces with Yuan Shao."

The patrol cavalry officer did not dare to act rashly. After some communication, he took Gongsun Du to accept Gongsun Zan's personal reception.

"Isn't this a virtuous brother Shengji? You and I are the same clan, why are you polite? Come and join me from afar, I should help you."

"Brother Bo Gui is generous, kind and righteous, and is famous throughout the country. My foolish brother was ordered by the court and had nothing to do, so he came to like each other."
