The Chinese New Year passed peacefully, and Liu Zhang and his family enjoyed a peaceful and warm Spring Festival.
The peace in Yizhou was based on Liu Zhang's previous efforts, and he personally led his army to pacify the entire territory of Yizhou's 12 counties.
All states in the world are still engaged in intense conquests, and the Spring Festival cannot allow them to temporarily stop fighting.
After Ma Tenghan fled back to Liangzhou, he immediately gathered his men to start a fierce battle.
The two sides are at odds with each other, and they are determined not to give up until the other side is destroyed.
Ma Teng and Han Sui each attracted the Qiang people with whom they had good relations, and a total of more than 100,000 people from both sides launched a bloody battle at the junction of Jincheng County and Wuwei County.
There was no winner, and both sides ended dismally with tens of thousands of casualties each.
I thought that the chaos in Liangzhou would come to an end temporarily, but Li Jue and Guo Si thought that Liangzhou was not chaotic enough, so they designated four counties in Liangzhou to belong to Yongzhou, and assigned Ma Teng and Han Sui to their respective states. He was appointed to the other party’s command!
The two men once again had their thoughts on each other's city, and they all raised their flags to prepare to accept the territory canonized by the Han Emperor.
Fortunately, Ma Teng and Han Sui's men suffered too many casualties and were temporarily unable to fight again, so the two states of Yongliang were temporarily stable.
Throughout 194, there was no rain in Chang'an, which also led to a severe drought in Guanzhong. Coupled with Dong Zhuo's money making, Li Jue, and Guo Si's tyranny, the price of grain in Guanzhong soared, and a handful of grain reached a sky-high price of 500,000!
The land in Guanzhong was littered with corpses, and the refugees suffered numerous casualties. More than 200,000 hungry people fled from Guanzhong and flocked to various places. More than 100,000 hungry people poured into Hanzhong and were properly resettled.
Fortunately, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty couldn't bear it and finally asked for food relief, but even with this life-saving food, Shihou Wen, the censor, still withheld it!
After all the relief efforts, the hungry people still starved to death. In the end, it was Han Emperor Liu Xie who personally measured the rice and made porridge before he captured Hou Wen.
At the same time, the Qiang people in Feng Yi County saw the decline of the Han Dynasty and sent troops to attack the prefectures and counties in an attempt to rob Feng Yi. Later general Guo Si, right general Fan Chou and others led their troops to attack. The Qiang people were defeated and fled. This was the only good thing the Guanzhong warlords did to the people of Guanzhong.
Some people are happy and some are sad. This Spring Festival, Cao Cao and Sun Ce had a very unhappy time.
The former attacked Xuzhou under the guise of avenging his father, but there was no progress yet. Zhang Miao, a former friend of Cao Cao and a member of the Yanzhou family, joined forces with Chen Gong to welcome Lu Bu to Yanzhou.
If Xun Yu and others hadn't fought tooth and nail to hold on to three small cities, Cao Cao's position as a herdsman in Yanzhou would have ceased to exist in name only!
Now Cao Cao and Lu Bu are at a stalemate in Dingtao. It must be extremely difficult for Lu Bu and Cao Cao at this year's end!
Since his father Sun Jian was killed in battle, Sun Ce completely surrendered to Yuan Shu. Now he is fighting to the death with Lu Kang, the grandfather of Lu Yi, the future governor of Soochow, in Lujiang.
Lu Yi will be Lu Xun in the future, but the name Lu Yi will be used for a long time, and it will take about twenty years for the name to be changed to Xun.
Logically speaking, Sun Ce had made great contributions to Yuan Shu's campaigns in the north and south over the years, and he should have received some rewards. However, Yuan Shu broke his promise time and time again, and his promise to be the governor of Sun Ce was never fulfilled.
During this attack on Lujiang, Sun Ce vented his grievances on Lu Kang. It had been nearly two years since the battle, and Lu Kang was still resisting desperately.
After Yuan Shu arrived in Huainan, he drove away Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou who was granted a title by the imperial court, and occupied Shouchun, the seat of Yangzhou government.
Liu Yao was forced to have no choice but to cross the Yangtze River south and go to Qu'a to set up a government office. He also gathered powerful people and recruited brave soldiers to prepare for a deadly conflict with Yuan Shu.
Compared with the misery of other people, the big-eared thief Liu Bei is in the midst of his glory.
Cao Cao led his army to raid Xuzhou, and Liu Bei was ordered to rescue him. Unexpectedly, when Tao Qian died, he did not hand over the Xuzhou inheritance to his heirs, but instead entrusted it to Liu Bei.
The reason is also very simple. The aristocratic families in Xuzhou favor Liu Bei, and the wealthy Mi family in Xiapi and the Chen family in Guangling even welcome him personally.
Liu Bei successfully inherited the post of Xuzhou Mu, which also made Cao Cao next door gnash his teeth with hatred.
Cao Cao worked hard for a long time and almost had his base camp stolen. In the end, he took advantage of Liu Bei.
With Cao Cao's character, he would never let go of this. The war between Yanzhou and Xuzhou would break out again after Cao Cao drove Lu Bu away.
The most aggrieved prince in the world today is none other than Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.
Due to the mistrust of Yuan Shao's five-pronged attack on Liu Zhang, the already small power was once again compressed, especially the number of troops under direct control, which was even less.
Due to conflicts with Kuai Liang on the issue of Yizhou and no contribution in exchange for Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others as well as the captured soldiers, the Jingzhou family no longer fully supported Liu Biao.
In particular, the two major families headed by Cai Mao and Kuai Liang became increasingly distant from Liu Biao.
Cai Mao even canceled the marriage of Cai's children to Liu Biao's second son, making Mrs. Cai extremely embarrassed between Liu Biao and Cai.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Cong, Liu Biao's second son, was not born to Mrs. Cai.
The conflict between Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, and the aristocratic family in Jingzhou has become increasingly intensified, which has also been understood by the big shots in Jingnan.
Jingzhou, Nanjun, Xiangyang City, State Mufu.
Liu Miao sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression, and a group of civil and military officials were lined up on both sides. Among them, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue were all in the room.
"What did you say! Say it again!"
The soldier knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head in the face of Liu Biao's anger, and could only obey the order and report again.
"Reporting to my lord, Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, has issued a notice saying that my lord has no moral character and is fighting against the enemy regardless of the overall situation of the world. He is greedy for power and rushes forward, causing heavy casualties to the soldiers of Jingzhou. Now he has led the four counties of Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang to become independent. Accept the jurisdiction of the state pastoral office again!”
Liu Biao's eyes were full of anger, and his fingers turned white due to excessive force.
He couldn't understand why Zhang Xian would rebel at this time!
When they were just defeated by the Yizhou Army, Jingzhou didn't even have the strength to defend it. If Zhang Xian wants to rebel, then is the best time.
Why did the various places choose to rebel after they were strictly guarded and the defense force was sufficient?
Zhang Xian successively served as the prefect of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha, and he won the hearts of the people. But when could he convince Wu Ling to join the rebellion?
All of this was so strange. Not only was Zhang Xian's timing of the rebellion strange, but the movement was also too unusual.
"Everyone, Zhang Xian is openly rebellious, lawless, and ignoring the imperial court. As the Jingzhou Shepherd personally appointed by the imperial court, I cannot sit idly by and ignore it! Therefore, I have decided to immediately send troops to attack Jingnan and arrest and punish Zhang Xian!"
Liu Biao made a quick decision and decided to take advantage of Zhang Xian's rebellion and immediately send troops to annihilate him with lightning speed.
Unfortunately, Liu Biao's bold words did not receive a response. Everyone in the room remained silent, and their eyes seemed a little dull.
