In order to conquer Qingzhou, Han Zhan did a lot of preparations in advance. Not only did he stock up on a large amount of food and grass in Beihai, he also established an inn every fifty miles so that he could timely understand the process of Zhao Yun's guide to Qingzhou and convey some new orders.

Just when Han Zhan proposed to his subordinates to establish an office, he was opposed by Xun Yu, Tian Feng, Ju Su and others. Xun Yu said to Han Zhan: "Lord, from Yedu to Qingzhou, there is an office built by the court every thirty miles. There is no need to build a new office..."

"The Chief Secretary doesn't know anything." Han Zhan knew in his heart that when the imperial court had post stations, but who knew how many of the confidants were placed by others among the post stations? He didn't want all his secrets to be in the control of the ministers in the court. Therefore, he explained with a high-sounding reason: "We have incorporated tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, many of whom are young and strong, and they are not qualified to be incorporated into the Jizhou army. They are afraid of causing trouble. It is better to place them in the newly established post station, which is also considered as the use of their talents and resources."

When Xun Yu heard Han Zhan say this, he felt that it was a bit reasonable. Last time, some of the Yellow Turban thieves outside Guantao City could not bear the days in the farmland village, so they gathered to rebel, and were finally wiped out by Han Zhan personally. They were asked to be postmen and earn a monthly income of money and grain, which was still helpful for stabilizing people's hearts.

Through the persuasion of Zhang Ning, Zuo Yu, Zhangba and others, Zhao Yun incorporated more than 200,000 troops from Qingniujiao and Huanglong, and wiped out the remnants of Liu Shipinghan, and sent eight messengers back to Yedu to return to the city. At that time, when confirming the number of people who reported the victory, Zhao Yun and Xun You had a dispute.

Xun You said that according to the convention, it would be enough to send up three messengers, and Zhao Yun insisted on using eight people. When Xun You asked the reason, Zhao Yun said with a sarcasm: "Military advisor, don't forget, the eight messengers can just represent us in Qingzhou, and wiped out the commander of the Qu in Bafang, including Zuo Yu, Zhangba, Liu Shi, Pinghan, etc."

Xun You really couldn't refute Zhao Yun's extremely far-fetched statement. He thought that the court's voices against the Eastern Expedition were quite loud. If he didn't get some results back as soon as possible, Han Zhan would be under a lot of pressure in the court, so he agreed with Zhao Yun's arrangement.

The postmen along the way, except for the postmen, were almost all surrendered Yellow Turban Army. When they saw the messengers returning from Qingzhou, they took advantage of the change of horses to ask questions. When the messengers who reported the news saw that the postmen flattered them, they couldn't help but brag about it, especially the deeds of defeating Taishici's two thousand men and tens of thousands of people, and Xun You's military marquis led 500 people to defeat 5,000 people, and repeatedly boasted about it several times.

The postmen believed what the messenger said or not. But when one messenger said this, two messengers said this, and all messengers said this, the postmen had to believe that it was true. They even thought to themselves, if they were still in the Yellow Turban Army, could they block the attack of the soldiers in Jizhou?

The messengers ran on the road for three days and finally arrived outside Yedu City. The eight messengers found a shaded place to stop, eat and drink water, and waited until their physical strength and horsepower were almost restored before they got back on their horses and rode their horses towards the north gate. The guard was a Duman. Seeing a team of cavalry coming from a distance, they didn't know what happened, so they quickly ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to be on guard.

The messenger led the team saw the defenders near the city gates on guard, fearing that they would cause greater misunderstandings, so he shouted at the top of his throat: "Qingzhou victories, 400,000 Yellow Turbans will be wiped out!"

When Du Bo heard this shout, he was stunned at first, and then he understood that the cavalry was from the Eastern Expedition. He quickly ordered the soldiers blocking the door to make way, and drove the people entering and leaving the city to the side first, allowing the cavalry who reported the news to pass.

Eight messengers rode their horses and shouted loudly while running: "Qingzhou is a great victory, and 400,000 Yellow Turbans will be wiped out!"

After hearing the messenger's shouts, the people standing by the roadside were stunned and started to talk: "The court has sent troops to Qingzhou for less than a month, why has it wiped out 400,000? There will be no fraud?"

"Not 400,000, but there are still more than 100,000." Someone said in an uncertain tone after hearing this.

"It's not that killing Liang and making a fortune, right?" Another bolder person said: "When Dong Zhe was in the capital in the past, he did this..." However, before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by his companions beside him: "Be careful of your words, be careful of your words, be careful of bringing you a murderous disaster."

The messengers came to the provincial governor's mansion, but Han Zhan went to court. Guo Jia, who was staying here, came to report the victory from Qingzhou. After reading Zhao Yun's news, he called the messengers in and asked in detail about the entire process of clearing out the Yellow Turbans. After learning all the truth, he rewarded the messengers and ordered people to take them to rest. He went to the palace with the letter of victory to report the good news to Han Zhan.

The imperial guard general guarding the palace gate knew Guo Jia. Seeing him coming in a hurry, he guessed that there must be something urgent, and hurriedly said to him: "Mr. Guo, please wait here and wait for the last general to report."

After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded and said to the Imperial General: "I'm here to help you!"

In the court, Zhong Yao, the chief censor, and Han Bin, were attacking Han Zhan. Zhong Yao first asked: "Governor of Jizhou, I asked you, your troops have been on the war for nearly a month, but what war reports have been heard?"

Han Zhan shook his head and answered honestly: "No!"

Hearing Han Zhan's answer, Han Bin immediately asked: "Have you ever thought about how much burden will the people of Qingzhou have to bear if the summer grain harvest in Qingzhou fails this year, and if you dispatched a large army of 60,000, and the same number of civilians enter Qingzhou, it will bring to the people of Qingzhou?"

"Shangshulang's words are wrong." After Han Zhan and Han Bin finished speaking, they replied unhappily: "It is precisely because Qingzhou has failed to get a harvest that this marquis sent troops to Qingzhou. Do you know that because there are too many people who cannot eat enough, they have to take risks and follow the Yellow Turban thieves to raise their flags to rebel..."

"Governor of Jizhou," before Han Zhan finished speaking, Zhong Yao interrupted his later words: "According to the news that I received, there are at least 200,000 Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou now, and you only have a mere 60,000 people. What role can it play?"

In order to conquer Qingzhou, Han Zhan did a lot of preparations in advance. Not only did he stock up on a large amount of food and grass in Beihai, he also established an inn every fifty miles so that he could timely understand the process of Zhao Yun's guide to Qingzhou and convey some new orders.
