At the end of July of the first year of Xingping, Li Guofan Sanzizhe and Jia Xu, who were far away in Chang'an, learned about this.

After learning about Yang Feng and Yu Fuluo's defeat, they saw their heads, and they learned that Guo Peng had occupied Taiyuan and Xihe County and expanded his strength.

The chicken was not enough to steal the rice, and lost the pawns that could restrain Guo Peng. Guo Peng was also rebelled against the army to win over the Southern Xiongnu. Li Guo and Fan were stunned, and Jia Xu also frowned.

Moreover, disasters never come alone, and Liu Biao's side is not at ease.

Liu Biao only abides by the imperial edict on the surface, but in fact he did not intend to send troops directly to suppress Yuan Shu for the sake of the Chang'an court. He was also a stance to Liu Yao.

Not only did he not restrain Yuan Shu and help Liu Yao, he sent people to Yizhou to cause trouble, hoping to take advantage of Yizhou.

In fact, if Liu Biao wants to take advantage of Yizhou, the three thieves and Jia Xu have to take the blame.

Because Liu Yan's eldest son and second son were involved in Ma Teng and Han Sui's attack on Li Jue's group, which led to war, they were all killed by Li Jue. Liu Yan lost his son and was heartbroken. He was also not very adapted to the climate of Shu and was in poor health. Therefore, he suffered from gangrene and died.

After Liu Yan's death, Wang Shang, a representative figure of the local gentry and powerful people in Yizhou, and Zhao Wei joined many local tyrants and geniuses to elect Liu Yan's fourth son Liu Zhang to succeed as the governor of Yizhou, and symbolically reported to the court.

Perhaps it was because Liu Zhang's weak personality was very in line with their interests.

However, after learning about this, the Chang'an court could not allow such a thing to happen, so they sent Hu Mao, a native of Yingchuan, to serve as the governor of Yizhou.

Hu Mao entered Hanzhong, and with the help of the conflict between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in Hanzhong, he tried to overthrow Liu Zhang and occupy Yizhou.

Zhang Lu relied on his mother to get the love of Liu Yan, so he was able to occupy Hanzhong under Liu Yan's instructions and isolate the traffic.

However, after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang hated his mother and killed his mother. He also sent his general Pang Xi to attack Zhang Lu and broke up with Zhang Lu, so Zhang Lu was officially hostile to Liu Zhang.

At this time, Hu Mao mentioned above that Zhang Lu was the official prefect of Hanzhong as a temptation, inducing Zhang Lu to be his helper and fight against Liu Zhang with him.

Yizhou was in chaos and was learned by Liu Biao that Liu Biao had been coveting Yizhou for a long time, so he sent his other man Liu He to Yizhou and cause trouble in Ba County.

Liu He contacted Gan Ning, a son of Linjiang Gan clan of Ba County, who was frustrated under Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, as well as his friends Lou Fa and Shen Mi, who planned to rebel, echo Hu Mao, and subvert Liu Zhang's status together and win the greatest benefit for Liu Biao.

The Linjiang Gan family is a local clan in Ba County and a genius. They are a descendant of Gan Mao, the left prime minister of Qin, and Gan Ning was born here.

The famous Gan Luo, who was the prime minister at the age of twelve, was Gan Mao's grandson and the grandson of the left prime minister of Qin.

If you don’t understand the connection here, some people will really naively think that since ancient times, heroes have been young, and celebrities have all been born in the grass.

Gan Ning was called a Jinfan thief, but he was a genuine and famous family and his family was powerful in Yizhou.

He has been rampant since childhood, and like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, he was a hero in the local area. He relied on his family's power to rush around in Ba County and wanted to beat and loot the officials' property. It was common for local officials to stop him. He was a silver spear bully until today.

In his twenties, Gan Ning realized that he could not continue, or was simply forcibly asked by the elders of the family, so he studied and studied symbolically, and after a period of time, he became an official.

The country bully turned into a bureaucrat and even went from a small official to the position of county magistrate of Shu County, in charge of military affairs in a county. It was a bit fantasy if you listen to it.

However, in his position as the county magistrate of Shu County, he was very unhappy and quickly resigned and left home. He probably had a very unhappy relationship with some big shots in Shu County. He was not a match for others, so he had to leave.

Liu He found out the news, so Liu He instigated Gan Ning with his eloquence and promise.

This made Gan Ning use his family's strength to form a team in Ba County. Taking advantage of Liu Yan's death and Liu Zhang's new position was unstable, he forcibly resisted Liu Zhang's rule, echoing the offensive in Hanzhong from afar.

Liu Zhang's rule was in danger for a while and was threatened by both the north and the east. The weak Liu Zhang was very scared.

At this time, Zhao Wei, the old subordinate who had followed Liu Yan back to Yizhou from Luoyang from Luoyang, stood up and helped Liu Zhang.

In his opinion, Gan Ning was a fool. As a local native of Yizhou, he was stingy and cut off his own way out. He really thought he was a character, but he didn't care about Gan Ning at all.

So did Liu Biao. Since he had instigated Gan Ning, he should have sent troops to help Gan Ning himself, but he did not send troops.

So Zhao Wei was appointed as the General of the Eastern Army by Liu Zhang, and led his troops to attack Gan Ning. In one battle, the single-minded Gan Ning broke down. The failed Gan Ning fled to Jingzhou in a panic. From then on, the family was blocked by Yizhou and paid the price for his recklessness.

In the battle, the rebels were pacified and had a reputation. Zhao Wei also took advantage of the victory to pursue the rebels and drove the rebels to the border of Jingzhou, stationed troops in Quren County on the border to prevent Liu Biao, and the eastern border of Yizhou was stable.

In the northern border, Zhang Lu had more defense and lacked progress. Although he was very powerful and had the help of the governor of Yizhou, he could never defeat Liu Zhang's army. So the two armies became stalemate, and Hu Mao could never enter Yizhou, and he was in an awkward situation.

Liu Zhang actively or passively "settled" the position of Yizhou governor through a series of battles and began his 20 years of rule in Yizhou.

The intentions of the Chang'an court and Liu Biao both failed. They could not win Yizhou with their internal and external cooperation, and the situation became a lose-lose situation.

Liu Biao's ambition was thwarted, Gan Ning and others lost their value and were placed in Nanyang County without caring about it. Gan Ning has since fallen into a low point in his life. Despite this, his ambition for Yizhou did not disappear.

The Chang'an court's intention failed and he could never intervene in Yizhou. Yizhou was still Yizhou from Yizhou.

Jia Xu's three-flowering strategy failed in a comprehensive manner, and his efforts to expand his power outward and curb the Kanto Group failed. In desperation, he felt even more worried.

At this moment, there was a conflict between Li Guo and Fan and the three thieves. This time the conflict was even greater and even more irreconcilable.

Fan Chou made great contributions in the war to defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui, and then had a conflict with Li Li, the nephew of Li Li.

Li Li was timid and did not dare to fight. After the war, Fan Chou was scolded by Fan Chou. Li Li held a grudge and often said bad things about Fan Chou in front of Li Jue. Li Jue became more and more suspicious of Fan Chou. In addition, Fan Chou's prestige was increasing, so Li Jue decided to take action.

During a banquet, Li Jue sent his general Hu Feng to assassinate the unprepared Fan Chou on the spot, and Fan Chou died because of this.

Then, the generals of the Liangzhou army distrust Li Jue for this, and everyone was in danger. Everyone was worried that they would be killed by Li Jue. Li Jue began to lose people's hearts, but he himself didn't care.

Li Jue's behavior also worried Guo Si, the second-ranked figure in Liangzhou Army.

Guo Si often attended Li Jue's banquets, and there was nothing wrong, but Guo Si's wife was worried that Li Jue would give the beauty to Guo Si, which would lead to his fall out of favor, so she sowed the blame.

She falsely accused Li Jue of poisoning Guo Si. After Guo Si was drunk by Li Jue, she even provoked her hard, making Guo Si suspiciously believe that Li Jue poisoned him. In desperation, she had to use feces to induce vomiting.

Yes, Guo Si was vomiting, and he vomited so much that he never went to Li Jue's banquet again. Li Jue sent someone to ask, Guo Si made excuses. After many trips, Li Jue and Guo Si turned against each other and became enemies.

So at the end of August of the first year of Xingping, Li Jue and Guo Si officially turned against each other, and the Li Guo rebellion began.
