After this incident, the Xiliang soldiers were defeated by them, which further increased the prestige of Li Jue and Guo Bang in Chang'an City, and other princes also stopped their preparations.
Or he was influenced by Yu Yi. Considering the consequences of Li Ru, those who do evil will be killed. Most of Jia Xu's strategies focus on self-protection, and rarely persuade people to burn and kill people. Not only that, he He also persuaded many times to appease the people, made friends with some heroes, and learned from other people's management experience.
Yu Yi also gained his freedom under Jia Xu's care, and Emperor Xian was not controlled. However, with military power in hand, he would still stick to his own opinions on things that were not what he wanted. Yu Yi often went to Jia Xu for advice and learned a lot. With experience in strategy, Yu Yi is at the level of a postgraduate master in modern times. He can quickly understand some philosophy and simple principles of life. Jia Xu also likes Yu Yi very much and has thought of accepting him as a disciple many times.
The actions of Li Jue and Guo Si alleviated the conflicts in the court to a certain extent, but the court still had objections to them, but they were much happier than Dong Zhuo, and the conflicts were not as sharp.
The dispatch of troops by Ma Teng and Han Sui aroused the hopes of the princes, especially Liu Bei. He hoped that Ma Teng could conquer Chang'an City in one fell swoop, so that his fourth brother would be safe and return to Pingyuan County safely. But within a few days, news came that the Xiliang soldiers had been repulsed, and there was internal strife in Chang'an City.
"Brother, I think after this incident, the other princes will not take any further action. Let's send troops to rescue ourselves."
Zhang Fei was already a little out of breath.
"Not now. Now Yuan Shao is eyeing us. If we leave at this time, not only we will be in danger, but Gongsun Zan will also cause trouble."
Liu Bei analyzed briefly.
Guan Yu also arrived at this time and said: "I heard that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are still there, maybe there will be a new turning point."
Just when the old crisis had just passed, the Yellow Turban Army uprising in Qingzhou soon came. There were about 100,000 people with no fixed leader. They were looting everywhere in the local area and the people were in dire straits. At the court, the servant Zhu Jun made a suggestion, which was to recommend Cao Cao, thinking that he could easily solve this problem for the court.
Li Jue and Guo Si asked who he was, and Zhu Jun replied: "If this matter can break the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it cannot be done without Cao Mengde."
"Then where is the person you are talking about?" Li Jue asked.
Answer: "He is now the governor of Dongqun and has some troops. If the court orders him to attack the Yellow Turban bandits, it will be easy to solve the problem in Qingzhou."
Yu Yi observed everyone's expressions from the side, thinking that he also knew Cao Cao. His ideas were non-conformist, very innovative, and he also had a certain ambition. If he was allowed to develop, it might be difficult for his eldest brother Liu Bei to conquer the world in the future. Just at this time, someone asked him to go against the thieves. There were hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves. Even if they succeeded, I believe they would lose their troops. This would weaken Cao Cao's strength and create some space for his eldest brother Liu Bei.
So Yu Yi also walked out and said: "I think it makes sense. I have seen Cao Cao. He is a man of great talent and great strategy. I have to guard against him, but he is loyal to the court. If we let him go at this time, He will definitely go, firstly to weaken his troops, and secondly to show the court's determination and further win over people's hearts."
Jia Xu thought Yu Yi was going to say something, but he didn't expect that his analysis was sound and clear, with no flaws. He couldn't help but think more highly of Yu Yi.
So Li Jue was very happy and sent people to implement the matter. Then he sent people to Dongjun and sent Cao Cao and Bao Xin there to attack the Yellow Turban bandits.
After Cao Cao received the letter, he naturally knew the court's intention, but it was not easy for him to object at this time. After all, he had just established a firm foothold. In addition, the Yellow Turban Thief itself was a rebellious bandit. He had a reputation for conquering it, and he could also improve it. Reputation.
So Cao Cao took his soldiers and horses to meet up with Bao Xin, decided on a time, and went to attack the bandits together. They fought with them in Shouyang. Bao Xin was eager to make meritorious deeds and ignored Cao Cao's advice. He went deep alone and eventually died at the hands of the bandits. In the end, Cao Cao could only plan this crusade according to his own plan.
After all, there were some generals around him, so he easily defeated the vanguard of the Yellow Turban thieves and chased them to Jibei. In this way, 100,000 people surrendered. Naturally, Cao Cao would not send his cronies on the front line and simply force them to surrender. These Yellow Turbans are the vanguard. Firstly, they are creating a momentum to tell everyone that they are very tolerant and will use you immediately as long as they surrender. The other is to show their means. After all, the other Yellow Turban thieves don’t know how many people in the vanguard have surrendered and gained. How many benefits.
So many bandits surrendered along the way, and the crusade went extremely smoothly. In less than a month, more than 300,000 surrendered generals and more than a million men and women were recruited. This made Cao Cao extremely happy. All of a sudden, his own troops became very large.
This information was quickly spread to the court. After Yu Yi knew it, he sighed in his heart and said, "It seems that a smart person will never let you down. Even very difficult things can be changed in his hands." It becomes an advantage, this is his destiny."
In my heart, I admired Cao Cao a little more, and at the same time I worried a little more about my eldest brother Liu Bei.
Jia Xu went to Yu Yi's residence in person, observed Yu Yi's expression, and said, "It seems like I came here at the wrong time?"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "Some trivial things are not worth mentioning!"
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Are you unhappy because of the news of Cao Cao's victory?"
Yu Yi seemed a little surprised to be told his feelings by someone. He didn't expect that Jia Xu's strategy had reached such an extent. Could it be that nothing could escape his eyes?
However, Yu Yi still wanted to continue testing and said, "Why did you say this, sir?"
Jia Xu said with a smile: "At the court, you strongly recommend Cao Cao to attack the bandits. You must have selfish motives."
Yu Yi smiled and did not express his position immediately. Instead, he asked Jia Xu to sit down and speak slowly.
"Your eldest brother Liu Bei is currently weak in Pingyuan County. As a figure of the same period, he pales in comparison to Cao Cao. It is said that Cao Cao has been recruiting troops during this period and his strength has greatly increased. However, your eldest brother has not changed much. If I If it were you, I would be worried too.”
Jia Xu analyzed.
Yu Yi was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Jia Xu would think of this step. It was really unbelievable.
"Then in your opinion, sir, what should we do?"
Yu Yi simply asked Jia Xu to serve as his adviser.
"Now that Cao Cao is at the peak of his power and has many advisers joining him, it is inevitable that his strength will increase greatly. This crusade should be coming to an end, and he will become famous as a result."
Jia Xu smiled.
