When did Lu Bu come to Yanzhou and why did he conquer the city and territory behind Cao Cao?
It turned out that since Wang Yun designed, the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo deteriorated sharply. Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others colluded internally and externally, and finally got rid of Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu also made great contributions to killing Dong Zhuo, and was truly glorious in Chang'an Imperial City for a while.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other Dong Zhuo's troops fled Chang'an and submitted a letter to seek pardon.
Wang Yun refused: "Zhuo's domineering arrogance is all helped by four people. Although the world is now forgiven, the only one will not forgive these four people."
Li Jue received a reply and knew there was no hope: "I can't ask for pardon, so I can escape."
Staff Jia Xu advised: "If you abandon your army and travel alone, you can arrest any pavilion chief. It is better to gather troops and horses to fight back to Chang'an to avenge Dong Zhuo. If the matter is done, you will be the court to reign with the world. If you cannot win, it will not be too late to leave."
Since then, Li Jue and the other four gathered 100,000 people, divided into four groups and rushed to Chang'an. Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Niu Fu, also led 5,000 troops to avenge his father-in-law Dong Zhuo.
When Wang Yun learned that the Xiliang soldiers were coming, he discussed with Lu Bu. How could Lu Bu take Li Jue and the others seriously: "Don't worry, Situ, these rats don't have to take them seriously."
Lu Bu was unscheming and brave, so he led his army to fight against the Xiliang army.
The initial battle was quite smooth, and the Xiliang army was defeated. After Lu Bu defeated Niu Fu, he pursued him all the way. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long and he was defeated by the Xiliang army's tricks.
The Xiliang army divided into four groups, resisting Lu Bu and raiding Lu Bu along the way, exhausting the enemy. The other two groups took the opportunity to seize Chang'an.
When Lu Bu was defeated, Li Jue and Guo Si led his troops to plunder Chang'an. Many ministers in the court died of misfortune, and Wang Yun fell from the building and died.
Emperor Xian was forced by Li Jue, Guo Si and others to be appointed as General of the Cavalry and Cavalry, Marquis of Chi Yang. He was appointed as the commander of the Si Li; Guo Si was appointed as the Hou General and Marquis of Mei Yang. He was appointed as the commander of the army; Fan Chou was appointed as the right general, and was appointed as the general of the rank of thousands of years; Zhang Ji was appointed as the general of the cavalry, Marquis of Pingyang, and led the troops to station in Hongnong. The other generals each had their rewards.
Before leaving, Lu Bu advised Wang Yun to persuade him to leave, but Wang Yun refused to obey. Lu Bu only fled with more than a hundred cavalry beside him, and ran out of the pass and defected to Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with Lu Bu's self-reliance and arrogant reliance on his achievements, so he refused Lu Bu. So Lu Bu turned to Yuan Shao.
At this time, Yuan Shao was troubled by the remnant of the Yellow Turban Army, and Yuan Shao wanted to use his power to accept Lu Bu and ask him to help Jizhou deal with Guan Gu's harassment.
Lu Bu was brave and became a loyal general with his powerful generals. Wei Yue used 500 cavalry as a vanguard to attack the Yellow Turban Army. He was invincible and unstoppable, which caused the Yellow Turban Army to lose its troops and return with great defeat.
After several battles, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was sluggish, and Hu Gu knew that the land of Jizhou would not be kept for a long time. Since then, he fled into the mountains with his army.
Lu Bu relied on his merits and asked Yuan Shao for additional troops again, but Yuan Shao refused. The soldiers under Lu Bu often robbed and plundered, which caused Yuan Shao to be dissatisfied. The generals under Yuan Shao were also dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's intake of Lu Bu and made several suggestions to ask Yuan Shao to kill Lu Bu.
At this time, Yuan Shao stared at Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
Since the last time he had a conversation with Liu Zhan in Youzhou before the battle, Yuan Shao began to worry about Cao Cao in Yanzhou. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had been in contact for a long time, and Cao Cao was too small. The two have always had similar relationships and have little interest.
However, Cao Cao developed a little fast and has now occupied a prefecture in Yanzhou. This time, Cao Cao raised the banner of avenging his father. Didn’t Annex Xuzhou using this as an excuse?
If Cao Cao was allowed to successfully take Xuzhou, Cao Cao would have two states. At this time, Yuan Shao had only half of the states, and the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger.
Yuan Shao's heart disease is getting worse and worse. Looking around, Cao Cao's power is gradually becoming bigger, which has become a potential threat in Yuan Shao's mind.
The civil and military officials in Jizhou were dissatisfied with Lu Bu, and Feng Ji was also worried and made suggestions to Yuan Shao.
"Lu Bu and Tigers and Wolves are so fond of their righteousness when they see profit and have been betrayed the Lord several times. The lord should not keep this person for a long time. It would be better to kill him."
Yuan Shao's eyes rolled and told Feng Ji about his worries. Feng Ji also knew that the rise and fall between Jizhou and Cao Cao was rising and falling, and he immediately understood the lord's meaning.
"The lord's plan is very good. There is no need for the lord to come forward to this matter, but I can only give a hint to Lu Bu in private."
Feng Ji took over this matter, which made Yuan Shao very happy and told Feng Ji not to leave any handle, so as not to blame Cao Cao for the future. Feng Ji knew it and took the order and left.
A few days later, Lu Bu led five hundred cavalry and one thousand infantry to enter the Yanzhou territory.
At the same time, Yuan Shao also sent people to Cao's camp to report the news, re-enacting his plan to conspire with Gongsun Zan to seize Jizhou.
Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao was leading his troops to attack Xuzhou, and the troops behind Yanzhou were empty, which was a good time for Lu Bu to take down a piece of territory as a place to settle down.
Lu Bu led his troops across the Yellow River. When he passed by Chenliu, he happened to meet Zhang Chao, the younger brother of Chenliu's prefect Zhang Miao.
Zhang Chao admired Lu Bu's bravery and urged Lu Bu to stay in Chenliu for a short time. Lu Bu also hoped to get some supplies and soldiers, so he agreed with the flow.
Zhang Chao recommended Lu Bu and urged his brother Zhang Miao.
"Now, heroes are rising everywhere, and the world is in conflict, and the brother has no less than Cao Cao's troops. However, Cao Cao is already the governor of Yanzhou, and his brother is still subject to him. Now the army in our province is expeditioning eastward, and the land is empty. Lu Bu is a warrior, good at fighting and invincible. He will take him to occupy Yanzhou together, watch the situation in the world, and wait for the changes in current affairs to improve. This can last forever."
Back then, Cao Cao and Zhang Miao first raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo. In the battle of Bian River, Zhang Miao sent general Wei Zi to lead his troops to follow Cao Cao to fight. After Yuan Shao became the leader of the alliance, he often acted arrogant and reserved, and Zhang Miao often bluntly criticized him.
Yuan Shao hated him deeply, so he sent Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao, but Cao Cao refused to obey.
Although Zhang Miao was very grateful to Cao Cao and respected Cao Cao very much, he was always worried that Cao Cao would eventually obey Yuan Shao's words and find an opportunity to kill him.
Zhang Chao's words finally made Zhang Miao make up his mind to take advantage of Cao Cao's troops outside, Yanzhou was empty, and Lu Bu was the governor of Yanzhou, occupying Puyang, and most of the counties and counties under Yanzhou were in line with each other.
Poor Cao Cao trusted Zhang Miao so much, but unexpectedly he was quarreled by others to leave.
At the beginning, Cao Cao said to his family before conquering Tao Qian: "If I can't come back, you can go and surrender to Meng Zhuo."
This shows how intimate their relationship is.
When Cao Cao fought against Tao Qian in the east, only some of the soldiers were left to stay in Dongjun. Lu Bu received the support of Zhang Miao, and his troops suddenly became stronger and occupied Puyang and became the governor of Yanzhou.
Lu Bu attacked everywhere and attacked Cao Cao's remaining troops. Cao Cao's backyard was in danger, which forced Cao Cao to stop the battle in Xuzhou and retreat to Yanzhou to fight Lu Bu.
There are only Fan of Yanzhou in Juancheng and Dongjun. Dong'a counties are still under Cao Cao's control, and are defended by Sima Xunyu and Shouzhang Lingcheng Yu, respectively. The situation is extremely critical.
