After saying that, Cao Heizi, let us turn our attention to the Jizhou Plain north of the Yellow River.

The current governor of Jizhou Yuan Shao was really bumpy when he first took office. It was just because "General of the God, General of the Earth, General of the Human Resources" were all making trouble in Jizhou. There were also Heishan troops causing trouble everywhere near Heishan. The court did not have a large army to escort Yuan Shao to. Even if Yuan Shao was given one hundred courage, he would not dare to go alone to Gaoyi, the prefecture capital, which was not 50 miles away from Taocheng, the capital of Julu County! (Gaoyi County is located in the southwest of Hebei Province, between Shijiazhuang and Xingtai City, and the county name has been used since the Eastern Han Dynasty to this day)

Yuan Shao's appointment was entirely due to the use of troops after the Northern Army General Lu Zhi crossed the Yellow River. Tian Feng had 100,000 "Yellow Turban Rebellion" besieged Guangping City for half a month, and almost forced Guangping Prefect Yuan Shu to vomit blood and die.

Then Lu Zhi led the "Tun Cavalry, Yue Cavalry, Infantry, Changshui, Shooting" of the fifth battalion, with more than 30,000 people stormed the troops in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangping. So Tian Feng divided the troops into three groups and calmly retreated into Bingzhou west of Huguan. After Lu Zhi arrived in Guangping, he had to stare blankly. He did not get angry to tease Huguan, which was guarded by Xu Huang at that time. Instead, he led the army to fight north to Gaoyi, the capital of Jizhou, and then stopped.

Yuan Shao, who received the news in Luoyang City, quickly packed his bags and crossed the Yellow River with his newly recruited adviser Ju Su and 300 soldiers. After spending more than ten days, he finally arrived at Gaoyi, a dilapidated prefecture. After being polite with Lu Zhi, Yuan Shao immediately issued a notice under the suggestion of his adviser Ju Su to recruit talents.

It has to be said that the name of "Four Generations and Three Dukes" is really useful. In less than a month, the fierce and wise men hiding in Jizhou and Youzhou came to join Yuan Shao. Among them are Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the "Two Tigers of Hejian" who had long been secretly recruited by the Yuan family, as well as Xun Chen (named Youruo), a former adviser under Han Fu's tent, and Xin Ping (named Zhongzhi) who turned to Yuan Shao.

Speaking of Xun Chen, some book friends may not be familiar with him, but just think about his surname Xun, who comes from Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and his name is Youruo. The difference between his name Wenruo and Xun Yu's character Wenruo is only one word, it should not be difficult to think of his identity? Yes, he is the fourth brother of Xun Yu, a talented person of Wang Zuo, and he is also a great talent who combines strategy and governance! Historical records show that after Xun Chen joined Yuan Shao, he was excluded by Guo Tu, Feng Ji and Xu You, and was not valued. After Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu, he disappeared and did not go to join Cao Cao's camp and was as ripe as fish in water.

Speaking of the family that produced talents in the Three Kingdoms period, the Xun family was definitely not inferior to the Sima family, Zhuge family, Cao family, Yuan family, Sun family. Xun You, Xun Yu, Xun Chen (specially explained in the next chapter) The ability and ability of the third uncle and nephew is definitely not inferior to that of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Dan. If Xun Yu's grandfather was Xun Shu, who was the Langling Order, and was a famous scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Xun Shu had eight sons, known as the "Eight Dragons", and was no different from "Sima Bada". Xun Yu's father Xun Fu once served as the prime minister of Jinan, and his uncle Xun Shuang once served as Sikong. In this way, the Xun family is really not an ordinary clan, and is definitely comparable to the Zeng Guofan family in later generations.

After talking about Xun Chen, let’s talk about Xin Ping. Xin Ping is also from Yingchuan. When he came to Han Fu with Xun Chen, he also turned to Yuan Shao with fame. Historical records show that after Yuan Shao’s death, Xin Ping continued to assist Yuan Tan and was angry to death by this fool.

As mentioned earlier, Yuan Shao issued a "heroic post" and used his famous name of "Four Generations and Three Dukes" to attract talents. Not long after, there were famous scholars in Jizhou (named Yuantu), Shen Pei from Wei County, Jizhou (named Zhengnan), Guo Tu from Yingchuan, Yuzhou (named Gongze), and Xu You from Nanyang, Jingzhou (named Ziyuan), who came to join forces one after another. In a while, there were seven famous scholars under Yuan Shao's tent. Compared to Zhao Xing racking his brains to abduct Tian Feng and Chen Gong, it was easier!

But then again, although Yuan Shao won the "Three Heroes of Hebei" in history, Ju Su and Xu You, and the fourth brother of "Wang Zuo", Xun Chen, famous scholar Feng Ji, Shen Pei, famous scholar Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others, his think tank hid hidden dangers from the beginning.

This is because in addition to Xu You, the above seven people were obviously divided into two groups: Yingchuan Gang and Jizhou Gang, and the number was exactly three to three! In addition, Guo Tu was only good at fighting for power and making suggestions, but he knew nothing about the army. He was a treacherous minister who observed words and despised people's hearts; Xu You was even more scheming, greedy for money and profit, and was a good friend with Cao Heizi. With these two fucked guys in Yuan Shao's camp, Yuan Shao would be really happy in the future.

After saying that, the civil officials who came to join Yuan Shao, let’s talk about military generals. When Yuan Shao was in Luoyang, he made friends with Chunyu Qiong (named Zhongjian), a native of Yingchuan. This man was quite brave and understood military tactics, and was highly valued by Yuan Shao. As soon as Yuan Shao arrived in Jizhou, he invited his brother Chunyu Qiong to lead the troops for him to fight. Chunyu Qiong did not refuse and immediately came north and became the number one general under Yuan Shao.

Speaking of Chunyu Qiong, many records have been left in historical materials. According to the records of "The Three Kingdoms", Chunyu Qiong, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were appointed as the Eighth School Captains of Xiyuan by Emperor Ling. Chunyu Qiong was even more in charge of the right army captain and later became a general under Yuan Shao. During the Battle of Guandu, Wuchao, the core base for Yuan Shao to stock up on grain, he died of blood by Yuan Shao and was chopped off his head in anger.

After Chunyu Qiong came to join, Guo Yuan (named Shuye), a native of Guangzong of Anping, Jizhou, also came here. However, he said that Guo Yuan liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child. He was powerful and strong, with ugly and ferocious appearance. He made a crescent halberd and a skillful bow and horse. Compared with Zhou Cang under Zhao Xing, he was also considered a rare second-rate general.

In October, the three brothers of the Zhang family joined Yuan Shao, namely Zhang Xu who used a mountain axe, Zhang Kai who used a ghost-headed sword, and Zhang Nan who used a big sword.

This is not the end. Another man named Jiao Tuoshan from Nanpi was a big axe, and he brought his friends Jiang Qi and Jiang Yiqu to join Yuan Shao. In addition, there were also unknown brave men, Lu Weihuang, Han Heng, Ma Yan, Cen Bi and others who came to join Yuan Shao.

Now there are so many civil servants and military generals under Yuan Shao’s tent that they can’t count them in one breath. Among them, seven literati and twelve military generals. The incident that made Zhao Xing feel tight was still happening. In November, Xin Ping, a counselor under Yuan Shao, deceived his younger brother Xin Pi (named George) from Yingchuan Academy to Jizhou. This time, there were as many as twenty civil servants and military generals under Yuan Shao’s tent!

Did you see that? This is the great power of the "Four Generations and Three Dukes"! Zhao Xing started his business with wine and furniture. After four years of hard work, he saved up the Bingzhou area, which is not very wealthy, which is close to the Xianbei people and Qianghu people. Although he has several of the best generals and two or three well-known strategists under his command, it is really not enough compared to the speed of Yuan Shao's rise.

However, Zhao Xing, who was always paying attention to several potential opponents, did not envy and hate after learning about Yuan Shao's information. According to what Zhao Xing said to Li Jinsi in private at that time: "Let these people be temporarily placed in Yuan Shao's place, and wait until my brother has time to emptie him!" When Zhao Xing said this, he was busy planning the "Qingniwa" battle!

In fact, if we want to fight against foreign races, in addition to Zhao Xing, there was also a general located in the northeast who was following the Liaodong Xianbei to fight to the death. Who is this person? General Gongsun Zan, the White Horse!
