The big man's rags are in tatters, and Liu Han mends them.
When Yuan Shao became the shepherd of Jizhou, his first thought was naturally to control the entire territory of Jizhou, and bring Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom, Bohai County, and even Hejian Kingdom under his control.
Yuan Shao's start was greatly aided by the gentry circle. Hebei, Nanyang, and Yingchuan all joined in the initial stage, and they joined in a hurry. This kind of treatment made Yuan Shu greedy, but he couldn't do anything to these gentry.
Although Yuan Shu controls Yuzhou, he cannot govern it by himself. He needs the cooperation of these powerful nobles. Moreover, he is also from a noble family. He naturally understands what the nobles are like. Eggs cannot be put in one basket. I am a noble family. Stay in Yuzhou to help you stabilize the place, and send the clan members to help your nominal brother. There will be no problem with the next clan leader of the Yuan clan in Runan.
Although Yuan Shao was happy with the joining of noble families from all sides, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there will be various imbalances and infighting between factions.
Rather than saying that Yuan Shao is the shepherd of Jizhou, it is better to say that Yuan Shao is currently a representative elected by the gentry who wants to compete with Liu Han.
There are too many gentry factions with different demands. Sometimes they are not only not a help, but also a hindrance. While the original shares of the gentry in various places help Yuan Shao, they will also continue to have internal conflicts. This is inevitable unless Yuan Shao can be like Liu. Han is so strong that he pulled out the teeth of these nobles. You are not qualified to point fingers at me from the moral high ground. I can kill whoever I want.
But this is impossible. The class that Yuan Shao represents makes it clear that he cannot do it. Otherwise, as soon as he has this idea, his soldiers will mutiny, and the nobles will no longer support him, and he will become a loner in an instant.
Maybe he is not even qualified to be a loner, because there is Yuan Shu who is always watching him in Yuzhou and wants to kill him.
The nobles have made their conspiracy clear. If you don't listen to me, I will turn around and support Yuan Shu. Anyway, you all come from the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third prince.
Although there was help from the nobles, the nobles were also powerful and had shortcomings. They could provide Yuan Shao with troops, food, grass, and weapons, but they could not provide only war horses.
If Liu Han did not exist, objectively speaking, Yuan Shao and Liu Xiu of that year were really alike.
Both of them are famous all over the world. Yuan Shao is the fifth leader of the Yuan family, Jizhou Mu, and Liu Xiu is the great Sima of the Xuan Han Dynasty who has three thousand to one million under Kunyang City.
Both of them are capable of great tasks. Needless to say, Liu Xiu's cheating life, Yuan Shao will find that as our description continues to unfold, this person is really one of the top ones even if the stars are as bright as the Three Kingdoms.
Both of them were favored by nobles from all over the country. Liu Xiu was the general representative of the world's wealthy families at that time, and Yuan Shao was the number one target of defection in the noble circles.
The difference between the two is that Liu Xiu is much luckier than Yuan Shao. Liu Xiu unexpectedly received the full support of Youzhou Tuqi, the king of soldiers in the world. After Shanggu Yuyang shouted that Youzhou was qualified to choose his own future, Youzhou The sudden cavalry roared south, helping Liu Xiu quickly put down Wang Lang's regime, and then wiped out the thieves and bandits in Hebei and became the Bronze Horse Emperor. Later, in the process of going to the Central Plains and conquering Shandong, Geng Yan and Gai Yan's Youzhou army played a huge role. Boosting effect.
It only took Liu Xiu five years to unify the entire Guandong, but it took Yuan Shao eight full years to completely conquer Hebei.
Yuan Shao did not have the same luck as Liu Xiu. Now, the places where big men can get excellent war horses have become his enemies. Not to mention that Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou killed his own people and was in danger of annihilation. Let’s just say that Liangzhou’s war horses want to come over. , I can’t get through it in Sili same goes for Youzhou and Bingzhou. The reason why the King of Hejian is so scary is that he has a huge number of horses and 10,000+ cavalry in his hands. When fighting in plains like Huaibei, the cavalry has a huge advantage.
Things have priorities, and it is definitely not cost-effective to break up with Liu Han now. Therefore, Gongsun Zan, who is similar in strength to himself, has become Yuan Shao's primary target.
Gongsun Zan also knew that after Yuan Shao drove away Han Fu, he would definitely become his mortal enemy, so he took the initiative and captured the Qinghe Kingdom.
Yuan Shao has Yuan Shao's advantages, but Gongsun Zan is not a soft persimmon. He also has something that Yuan Shao cannot compare with, and that is cavalry.
At present, apart from Liu Han and Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan has the most cavalry among the princes. This is all because he has been cultivating in the north for many years. Even when he was transferred to Bohai County, he still relied on the foundation of the original war horses to cultivate smaller war horses. Although he was crusading against Dong Zhuo There were a lot of losses during the battle, but the casualties were basically infantry, and the cavalry did not suffer much losses.
The most important thing is that the King of Hejian initially allowed him to go back. Now with the troops from Bohai and Qinghe counties, Gongsun Zan's cavalry has reached 6000 people, including his most proud three thousand white horse volunteers.
It is true that Gongsun Zan did not have as many troops as Yuan Shao in terms of total strength, but when fighting on the plains, the cavalry could erase the infantry gap with Yuan Shao.
In Guangzong City, a place once occupied by Zhang Jiao, seven years have passed unknowingly since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and prosperity has gradually returned.
To the west of Guangzong City, there is a river named Panhe. There is a bridge on the Panhe River, which is the bridge connecting Qinghe Kingdom and Wei County, named Jieqiao.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan went round and round and returned to their fateful duel again.
Yuan Shao had just captured Jizhou and his foundation was not deep. After the war, "many cities in Jizhou rebelled against Shao and Cong Zan", and the situation was once very critical.
The main people here are the Jizhou nobles. First of all, in their opinion, Yuan Shao's battle is a disaster. No matter what Gongsun Zan said, there was the King of Hejian standing behind him. If Yuan Shao fought Gongsun Zan, he still had the possibility of winning, but against the King of Hejian, he would not win. Impossible to win.
Second, the so-called "if the name is incorrect, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not smooth, the things will not be accomplished."Yuan Shaodang, the Jizhou Mu, has a bad reputation. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that you are forcing Han Fu to seize the territory. Although the Jizhou nobles were attached to Yuan Shao, it was a helpless move at the time. If there were new people If someone could take refuge, it would definitely not be Yuan Shao.
Thirdly, the nobles discovered something, maybe Liu Han had made a bad start. Whether it was Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, or even Yuan Shao, as long as they had no money and no one, they would force the local nobles and powerful people to pay money, food, and supplies. Hand in hand, you won’t be able to pluck the wool like this. (Shao also went to Gao Yan, the governor of Shanggu, and Yao Gong, the prime minister of Ganling, to blame him for the money. The money was not prepared, so they both ordered.) Fourthly, Gongsun Zan himself was not an easy leader. At first, a very fierce Qing and Xu Huangjin army of 30 people started from Shandong and marched north along the seaside to the Bohai Sea like locusts crossing the border. Gongsun Zan led [-] infantry and cavalry in the east. Guangnan slaughtered the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and beheaded more than [-] people. (He has a population of more than [-], his chariots, armor and property are unbeatable, and his reputation is great)
After this battle, Gongsun Zan's advantage over Yuan Shao further expanded after "many cities in Jizhou rebelled against Shao and followed Zan", and the officials in various places in Jizhou began to surrender without firing a shot. (Gongsun Zan attacked the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou and defeated them. He returned to Guangzong and changed his order. He hoped that all the officials in the governor of Hebei would respond and open their doors to accept the attack.) Gongsun Zan was not only able to beat the northern nomads until they ran away at the sound of his voice, but he also caused an extremely sensational impact in Jizhou by slaughtering the Yellow Turban.
The people of Jizhou felt that Yuan Shao was going to stab Gongsun Zan before he could stand up, and he was looking for death, so he couldn't win. (End of chapter)
