Chapter 588: Two Years Have Passed Since the War in Zhongping

When the New Year bell rang, Huangfu Chaobo was leading everyone to stand on the tower of the imperial city, watching the bright lights and bustling scene in Luoyang City. Everyone was filled with emotion, especially the two old men, who were so excited that they burst into tears. When the news that Dong Zhuo forcibly moved the emperor, princes, ministers and people to Chang'an and burned Luoyang down reached the north, the two old men had cried all night.

Both of them were very excited that Luoyang could be restored to its original state in just over a year under Huangfu Chaobo's hands.

Not only the two old men, but also Huangfu Chaobo, Huang Zhong and others could not calm down for a long time.

The two looked at each other and saw infinite joy in each other's eyes. Huangfu Chaobo said to everyone: "Luoyang's tomorrow will be better, let's wait and see!"

At this time, firecrackers rang everywhere in the city, and the whole Luoyang was in a bustling scene. Luoyang finally spent the second year of Chuping in peace and ushered in the new year.

Just like the constant war in Luoyang in the past year, the territory of the Han Dynasty in the second year of Chuping was not peaceful.

Let's look at Yizhou first. With the help of players, the war in Yizhou was complicated. The Yellow Turbans, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and the player forces fought in many ways.

After more than a year of war, it finally calmed down. Of course, this calm down was not because a certain force pacified Yizhou, but because the Yellow Turbans and Liu Yan could not do anything to each other, so the two sides had to stop fighting.

So far, Liu Yan occupied more than 40 cities in the most prosperous counties of Yizhou, including Hanzhong County, Ba County, Guanghan County, Guanghan State, and Shu County. Although the Yellow Turban Army retreated, it still firmly held 11 cities in Jianwei County and Jianwei State.

In the Shu County State and Yuexi County, the two families each occupied several cities and confronted each other, and neither could do anything to the other.

Among the players, Xiaobai from Xiaobai Town also gained a lot of benefits in this melee. The biggest gain was that he was appointed by Liu Yan as the magistrate of Hanjia County, a vassal state of Shu County. Liu Yan also promised Xiaobai that as long as he could lead troops to capture the entire vassal state of Shu County, Liu Yan would recommend him to the court as the prime minister of the vassal state of Shu County. Now Xiaobai is like a chicken blood, trying hard to stabilize Hanjia, and as long as he is fully prepared, he will attack the other three cities of Tuxian, Yandao, and Maoniu and take them into his pocket.

At the same time, the Nanman people in the south of Yizhou also began to stir, and quickly expanded their influence in the three counties of Zangke County, Yizhou County, and Yongchang County. It is estimated that it will not be long before the Nanman King Meng Huo will appear.

At the same time, in the second year of Chuping, the Jiangdong Tiger died. Since the time when he was tricked by Liu Biao during the retreat from Luoyang last year, Sun the Tiger vowed to take revenge. After hiding in Changsha for more than a year, Sun Jian led his army to the north to attack Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent his general Huang Zu to fight. Sun Jian defeated Huang Zu and besieged Liu Biao in Xiangyang (now Xiangfan, Hubei).

Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu to go out of the city at night to summon reinforcements. When Huang Zu led the reinforcements back to Xiangyang, he was intercepted by Sun Jian and fled to Xian Mountain. Sun Jian pursued the victory and was shot dead by Huang Zu's soldiers. He was 37 years old.

Later, Sun Jian's general Huan Jie (Sun Jian once recommended Huan Jie as a filial and honest official) ventured into Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao and retrieve Sun Jian's body. Sun Ben (Sun Jian's nephew) lifted the siege of Xiangyang and led his troops to surrender to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu recommended Sun Ben as the governor of Yuzhou. Sun Ben and Sun Ce, the little tiger, escorted Sun Jian's coffin to Qu'a.

As for the players, after returning to the territory, Xuzhou Ye Lai Xiang accidentally received a military advisor, and then Ye Lai Xiang Town entered the fast lane of development.

In July of the second year of Chuping, the Taishan Yellow Turban bandits invaded Linyi County of Langya State, which happened to be the location of Ye Lai Xiang Town. Under the command of the newly recruited military advisor, Ye Lai Xiang General Yue Xi led 2,000 soldiers to defeat 20,000 bandits, becoming famous in one battle, and was highly praised by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. Later, together with the Xuzhou army, he recovered the two cities of Dong'an and Dongguan that were captured by the Taishan bandits, and drove the invading bandits out of Langya State.

Afterwards, Tao Qian rewarded Ye Lai Xiang with a reward and appointed him as the county magistrate of Dongguan, stationing troops in Dongguan to defend against the Taishan bandits and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army in the north. Afterwards, with the efforts of the players to gossip,

they finally figured out the origin of Ye Lai Xiang's new military advisor, and the result surprised the players. This strategist turned out to be Cao Cao's early strategist Xi Zhicai.

Huangfu Chaobo's old rival Duoqingjian also developed rapidly, mainly thanks to Huangfu Chaobo. The Yellow Turban Army failed to besiege Luoyang, but suffered heavy casualties, which increased the population of Luoyang by tens of thousands.

The Nanyang Yellow Turban Army lost all its elite troops in this battle. The defeated soldiers and their families finally joined the Three Swordsmen Town under Bohua's persuasion, making the Three Swordsmen Town full of population in one town and three affiliated small towns. However, because there was no news about the small town blueprint, the Three Swordsmen Town was not upgraded to a small town-level territory.

Not only that, Duoqingjian also recruited a fierce general who was stronger than Bohua among the tens of thousands of people it harvested. He was Yan Ming, one of the Cao generals who appeared in the Battle of Changbanpo and was killed by Zhao Yun in history.

There were also several people who became dazzling stars among players in the second year of Chuping, and two of them were representatives of the players' rich, the Qingzhou domineering royal family and the battleship of Jiaozhou.

Especially the domineering royal family. After the big plot war ended, he ran to Linzi City, recruited 3,000 guards in one go, and bought 100,000 stones of grain and fodder, and transported them back to the territory.

Soon, the news came out that he had recruited Taishi Ci. Just when everyone thought he was going to kill everyone, they found that the Tyrannical Royal Family was developing silently. Half a year later, another explosive news spread among the players.

The Tyrannical Royal Family sent troops to Lelang with Taishi Ci as the main general. Half a month later, Taishi Ci's army captured Haiming County. For a time, a stone stirred up a thousand waves among the players. More and more players rushed to Huang County, and then ran to Lelang, which was sparsely populated, through the cargo ships of Huangchao Hegemony Town.

And the battleships far away in Jiaozhou and the soldiers of the South China Sea Fleet Town also captured Hepu City occupied by the Ziman tribe under the command of Ling Cao. He was appointed as the magistrate of Hepu County by the governor of Jiaozhou and began his journey to the great navy.

. . .

The Han Dynasty spent another year in wars and disputes in various places in the second year of Chuping, and the third year of Chuping arrived as scheduled.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Huangfu Chaobo went back to the backyard to pay New Year's greetings to his two elders, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and then stayed in the general's mansion to meet waves of civil and military officials who came to pay New Year's greetings. This will be his relatively leisurely day, and starting tomorrow, he will begin a new round of inspections as the governor of Sizhou.
