0130: A Trap?
When Han Xin came back, he worked day and night, and today was coming to an end with Han Xin's return.
"Lord City Lord!"
Han Xin came to Cao Qingtian's side.
"Tell me, what did you find today?"
"Yes."
"Today I ran far enough, so I got much more news than yesterday."
"The situation in our Yizhou is a bit special."
"The current person in power in Yizhou is Liu Yan. Although he is the governor of Yizhou, after a series of operations, he killed the Han envoy on the grounds of rebellion. Since then, Yizhou has been in a semi-independent state."
Hearing this news, Cao Qingtian was stunned.
"Go on."
"The Yellow Turban Army currently in Yizhou is just the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army that was wiped out before."
Cao Qingtian thought about this for a while and didn't take it to heart.
The Yellow Turban Army rebellion in Yizhou can be said to be the first to be quelled, but Cao Qingtian still has some doubts in his heart. Since the Yellow Turban Army rebellion has been quelled long ago, why are these Yellow Turban Army still so active now?
"The main force of the Yellow Turban Army, Ma Xiang and others, was wiped out before, but Yizhou has many mountains and rivers, and the local customs and habits are different in different places. There are also many people who are dissatisfied with the rule of the court, so the rebellion has never stopped, which gave the Yellow Turban Army a chance to make a comeback."
"During these years, the Yellow Turban Army has grown stronger again."
Hearing this, Cao Qingtian nodded.
Han Xin continued:
"In addition to the Yellow Turban Army and Black Wind Mountain, Yizhou has three major forces. These three forces are the main forces that determine the rise and fall of Yizhou."
"These three major forces are the Yizhou faction, the Dongzhou faction, and Liu Yan's original warlords."
"The Yizhou faction is headed by Zhao Wei, the Dongzhou faction is mainly composed of tens of thousands of people from Nanyang and Sanfu who fled to Yizhou due to war, and Liu Yan's original warlords are headed by Zhang Lu."
"According to what I have heard, Liu Yan has cleaned up the mess in Yizhou and plans to integrate forces to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. The ones who assisted Liu Yan in encircling and suppressing the Yellow Turban Army are the Xiliang Cavalry, but after a careful investigation, I feel something is wrong."
Cao Qingtian also became interested.
Something is wrong?
But since Han Xin said so, it must be wrong.
"What do you mean?"
"Liu Yan is the equivalent of a local emperor in Yizhou. He doesn't listen to the orders of the current Han emperor. Now he has almost cleaned up the mess in Yizhou, except for the Yellow Turban Army and Black Wind Mountain.
Do you think Liu Yan will allow the Western Liang Cavalry to help him quell the rebellion under such circumstances?"
Cao Qingtian pondered for a moment and did not speak.
"Who knows whether the Western Liang Cavalry will come to quell the rebellion against the Yellow Turban Army or Liu Yan, or, after cleaning up the Yellow Turban Army, they will clean up Liu Yan."
In fact, it is not impossible to think about it. After the Western Liang Cavalry entered Yizhou and wiped out the Yellow Turban Army with Liu Yan's troops, they would teach the disobedient Liu Zhang a lesson and take back the control of Yizhou.
Will Liu Yan allow the Western Liang Iron Cavalry to enter Yizhou after thinking of this?
From another perspective, the Han Dynasty is in chaos and rebellions are constantly happening everywhere. Why don't the Western Liang Cavalry go to other places to help, but come to help Liu Yan, a traitor?
Moreover, the chaos in Yizhou would also be beneficial to the Han Dynasty, allowing Liu Yan and the Yellow Turban Army to fight each other and weaken each other's strength.
"To sum up, I think this news was just released by Liu Yan on purpose to make the Yellow Turban Army lose their composure."
