Chapter 573 Zhang Xian's Rebellion

The new year passed peacefully in this way, and Liu Zhang also enjoyed a peaceful and warm Spring Festival with his family.

The peace of Yizhou was based on Liu Zhang's previous efforts, and he personally led the army to pacify the 12 counties in Yizhou.

States across the country are still engaged in intense conquests, and the Spring Festival cannot temporarily suspend their wars.

After Ma Teng Han Sui fled back to Liangzhou, he immediately gathered his men to start a fierce battle.

The two sides are in the same situation, and there is a posture that they will not give up until the other party is destroyed.

Ma Teng and Han Sui each recruited the Qiang people who were close to each other, and a total of more than 100,000 people from both sides fought a bloody battle at the junction of Jincheng County and Wuwei County.

As a result, there was no winner or loser, and the two sides ended dismal at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties.

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 set aside four counties in Liangzhou to belong to Yongzhou, and assigned Ma Teng and Han Sui to each other. Appointed to the opponent's command!

The two once again set up their minds about each other's city, and they set up banners one after another to accept the territory conferred by Emperor Han.

Fortunately, Ma Teng and Han Sui suffered too many casualties and were temporarily unable to fight again, and the two prefectures of Yongliang and Liangzhou 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 casting of money, Li Jue, and Guo Si's tyranny, the price of grain in Guanzhong was soaring, and a grain of grain reached a sky-high price of 500,000!

Dead bodies littered the land in Guanzhong, countless refugees were killed and injured, and more than 200,000 hungry people fled from Guanzhong and flocked to various places. Among them, more than 100,000 hungry people flooded into Hanzhong and were properly resettled.

Fortunately, Han Emperor Liu Xie couldn't bear it, and finally asked for food relief. However, even with such life-saving food, the imperial servant Hou Wen still withheld it!

After a lot of relief, the hungry people still starved to death. In the end, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty personally measured rice to make porridge before arresting Hou Wen.

At the same time, seeing the decline of the Han court, the Qiang people in Fengyi County sent troops to attack Zhou County in an attempt to plunder Feng Yi. The later general Guo Si, the right general Fan Chou and others led their troops to attack, and 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 unsatisfactory life.

The former attacked Xuzhou under the guise of avenging his father, but there was no progress. Zhang Miao, Cao Cao's former friend and Yanzhou family, joined forces with Chen Gong to welcome Lu Bu into Yanzhou.

If Xun Yu and others hadn't fought desperately to hold on to the three small cities, Cao Cao, the Yanzhou Shepherd, would have survived in name only!

Now that Cao Cao and Lu Bu are facing each other in Dingtao, for this year, Lu Bu and Cao Cao must be having a very difficult time!

After Sun Ce's father Sun Jian died in battle, he led his troops to surrender to Yuan Shu. Now in Lujiang, he is fighting to the death with Lu Kang, the grandfather of Lu Yi, the future governor of Eastern Wu.

Lu Yi will be Lu Xun in the future, but the name Lu Yi will be used for a long time, and it will be changed to Xun in about twenty years.

It stands to reason that Sun Ce has made great contributions to Yuan Shu's expeditions to the north and south in these years, and should have received some awards, but Yuan Shu has kept his promises again and again, and the position of prefect that he promised Sun Ce has never been fulfilled.

In this attack on Lujiang, Sun Ce vented his grievances on Lu Kang. It has been nearly two years since the battle, and Lu Kang is still desperately resisting.

After Yuan Shu arrived in Huainan, he drove away Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou who was conferred by the imperial court, and occupied Shouchun, the governor of Yangzhou.

Forced to do nothing, Liu Yao had no choice but to cross the Yangtze River south to set up a government office in Qu'a. He also recruited powerful soldiers and brave soldiers to fight Yuan Shu to the death.

Compared with other people's misery, Liu Bei, the big-eared thief, is at the time of the spring breeze.

Cao Cao led an army to raid Xuzhou, and Liu Bei was ordered to rescue him. Unexpectedly, when Tao Qian died, he did not entrust the foundation of Xuzhou to his heirs, but entrusted it to Liu Bei.

The reason is also very simple. The Xuzhou family all favored Liu Bei, and the wealthy Mi family in Xiapi, and the Chen family in Guangling even welcomed him personally.

Liu Bei successfully inherited the position of Xuzhou Mu, which also made Cao Cao next door gnash his teeth with hatred.

Cao Cao was busy for a long time, and almost even the base camp was stolen, but in the end it was cheaper for Liu Bei.

With Cao Cao's character, he will definitely not let go of this tone, and the battle between Yanzhou and Xuzhou will break out again after Cao Cao drives Lu Bu away.

The most aggrieved prince in the world today is Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou.

Because of mistaken belief in Yuan Shao's five-way plan to crusade against Liu Zhang, the few powers that were already there were once again compressed, especially the troops directly under their control.

Due to the conflict with Kuai Liang on the issue of Yizhou, and did not contribute any force on the issue of returning Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, and the captured soldiers, the Jingzhou aristocratic family no longer completely supports Liu Biao.

In particular, the two big families headed by Cai Mao and Kuai Liang became more and more in harmony with Liu Biao.

Cai Mao even canceled the marriage of Cai's children to Liu Biao's second son, which made 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 shepherd of Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou family has intensified day by day, and this is also understood by the big shots in Jingnan.

Jingzhou, Nanjun, Xiangyang City, State Shepherd's Mansion.

Liu surfaced gloomyly and sat on the main seat, and a group of civil and military personnel lined up on both sides, among which 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, facing Liu Biao's anger, he didn't even dare to raise his head, and could only obey the order to report again.

"My lord, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, issued a notice saying that the lord has no virtue and disregarded the overall situation of the world, and fought against the same room. Greed for merit and reckless advances, resulting in heavy casualties for Jingzhou soldiers. Now he has led the four counties of Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang to become independent. Then accept the jurisdiction of the State Shepherd's Mansion!"

Liu Biao's eyes were full of anger, and his fingers turned white due to excessive force.

He couldn't understand why Zhang Xian rebelled at this time!

When it was just defeated by the Yizhou army, Jingzhou didn't even have enough guards. If Zhang Xian wants to rebel, then is the best time.

Why do all places strictly guard against death, and only choose to rebel when the defense force is sufficient?

Zhang Xian has successively served as the prefect of Lingling, Guiyang, and Changsha. It is true that he has won the hearts of the people, but when will he be able to persuade Wuling to rebel together?

All of this is too strange, not only the timing of Zhang Xian's rebellion is strange, but even the movement is too unusual.

"Everyone, Zhang Xian blatantly rebelled, his eyes were beyond measure, and he ignored the court. As a Jingzhou shepherd appointed by the court, I must not just sit idly by! Therefore, I decided to send troops to attack Jingnan immediately, arrest Zhang Xian and punish him!"

Liu Biao made a decisive decision. He decided to take advantage of the opportunity when Zhang Xian had just rebelled, and immediately dispatched troops to wipe him out with lightning speed.

It's a pity that Liu Biao's bold words and lofty ambitions were not responded to. Everyone in the room was silent, and their eyes seemed to be a little dull.
