Tai'an also means peace and prosperity in the country. Is the year name usually represents the good wishes of some rulers.

However, no matter how outsiders think about the reign of Tai'an, it is still very appropriate to the people under Ye Zhao's rule.

Since Liu Bian ascended the throne, Guanzhong has been truly prosperous and peaceful, but looking at Guandong, there has been war.

In the second year of Tai'an (205 AD, the tenth year of Jian'an), Yuan Shao's condition suddenly worsened in spring, and soon he died of depression in Yecheng. After Cao Cao and Liu Bei received the news, they took action at the same time, but the plan was slightly different. Cao Cao took Wei County directly, but Liu Bei was blocked by Yuan Shang's army in Changshan and lost the opportunity. After Cao Cao occupied Wei County, he knew he was defeated and persuaded Yuan Shang to surrender and seize Changshan. However, he was defeated by Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren, so he had to retreat to Zhongshan and defend the three counties to death.

In the same year, Sun Ce first sent someone to persuade Liu Biao to restrain Lu Bu, and then led his army to attack Runan. Yuan Shu knew that he was defeated, so he abandoned the city and fled. He took his family to Xuchang and defected to Cao Cao, but was stopped by Lu Bu, who defeated Liu Biao, in the Yangdi area. Not only did he capture Yuan Shu, but he also took Yuan Shu Feng as his concubine.

Yuan Shu's fourth generation and third generation were finally bullied by Lu Bu, who had been completely despised, and died of angrily vomiting blood in Wancheng.

The four generations and three ministers, who were once prominent, completely withdrew from this stage of competition with the world as the chessboard.

The following year, that is, the third year of Tai'an and the eleventh year of Jian'an (206 AD), Liu Bei wanted to develop with peace of mind, but Cao Cao took Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong as generals, and continued to harass the counties from Bohai, Hejian, and Zhongshan respectively, making Liu Bei unable to develop with peace of mind. After a year of buffer period, Cao Cao sent another army and led a 50,000 army to take Youzhou. Liu Bei set up defenses everywhere, but was defeated by Cao Cao one by one. Finally, under the cover of the Mi family, he abandoned his wife and son, and only brought Zhang Fei, Yan Rou, Yan Zhi, and Chen to escape to the sea. Seeing that the general situation was difficult to change, Tian Yu had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao.

At this point, Cao Cao unified the north, dominated Youzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and some Yuzhou areas, becoming the most populous prince in the world.

On Ye Zhao's side, it was natural that Ye Zhao could not do nothing for two years, but compared to the mutual attacks of the princes of the Central Plains, Ye Zhao had done more things.

In the first year of Tai'an, just on the day Liu Bian ascended the throne, the rear of the Cheshi suddenly entered Liuzhong, slaughtered all the Han people in Liuzhong. At the same time, the Northern Huns and the Western Xianbei seemed to have reached an agreement with the two Cheshi countries, and sent troops to send troops. Yiwu, moved branches and Yihe were successively captured. The four major forces combined 200,000 troops to force Zhangye, and Juyan was in danger.

Although this war that almost affected the entire Western Regions pattern was little known in the Central Plains, for Ye Zhao, it was a battle for the Han people to establish the position of the Western Regions for hundreds of years.

The Northern Huns and the Xianbei in the Western Regions suddenly took action and caught the Han army off guard in the Western Regions. Liu Zhong, Yiwu, and Yihe moved four cities off guard. Not only were they captured, but the county magistrate and county magistrate sent by Ye Zhao in the city were also ruthlessly killed. But next, when the 50,000 troops of the Xianbei in the Western Regions attacked Yiwu, Zhao Tong was already prepared. The 50,000 troops surrounded Juyan for a total of one month, but Zhao Tong was blocked outside the city with the 3,000 Yiwu troops.

After hearing the news, Ye Zhao was furious. Zhao Yun, Guan Hai and Guan Yu led a large army to Yiwu across a thousand miles of territory within one month, defeating the Xianbei in the west. Guan Yu and Huaxiong joined forces to fight with the Northern Xiongnu and the Cheshiguo army for a year. However, Zhao Yun led his army eastward and pursued the Xianbei in the west, all the way to Jinlianchuan, and used war to support the war. From the first year of Tai'an to the second year of Tai'an, the Xianbei Shanyu Qianshuo in the west could not stand it and had no choice but to surrender.

However, to everyone's surprise, when the Xianbei Shanyu surrendered in the west, Jinlianchuan killed 300,000 Xianbei people in one breath, almost exterminated the males of the Xianbei in the west.

Even Ye Zhao didn't expect that Zhao Yun, who had always been favored to benevolence and righteous, would have taken such a ruthless move in this battle. Ye Zhao remembered that Xu Rong told him that year that although Zhao Yun had the potential to be a general, he was too benevolent and righteous. Who would have thought that Zhao Yun would take such a straightforward move this time.

However, it is not difficult to understand. Xianbei soldiers surrounded Yiwu, and a 50,000 army attacked Yiwu City with 3,000 troops. Although Zhao Yun and others arrived in time to save Yiwu City, Zhao Tong and Wang Ren had almost reached the point where they had run out of ammunition and food. Even if they were one day later, the city might be destroyed at any time.

Zhao Yun is now middle-aged, and the pain of losing his son is probably not something he is willing to bear. In addition, under the influence of his eyes, Ye Zhao's string that he had always been cautious about the Hu people was broken, and then the Xianbei in the Western Region was directly destroyed. It was that simple, but for Ye Zhao, this was a good thing. Without that unnecessary kindness, Zhao Yun was definitely the choice of a general who was the only one, and even more suitable than Guan Yu.

After all, although Guan Yu is good, he loves to take risks too much. He used to meet opponents like Li Jue and the Huns. Guan Yu was able to become famous. But now, as Guan Yu's reputation has become bigger, in the eyes of some strategists, his behavior pattern has been determined and is easy to be targeted. Secondly, with Ye Zhao's current power, he no longer needs to rely on taking risks to make a big fortune with a small amount. What he needs now is a dignified crush.

In short, this is a good thing for Ye Zhao.

The war with the Xianbei and the Northern Huns in the west continued until the second year of Tai'an. The Xianbei clan was destroyed, and a large number of women and children were traveling to the Zhangye area. After the Northern Huns were defeated by Guan Yu, they saw the miserable situation of the Xianbei people, so they dared not shout to Ye Zhao again. After leaving behind a large population, they led their troops to flee north and flee thousands of miles away.

Afterwards, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong and Guan Hai troops entered the Cheshi Kingdom. Without the two backers, the Xianbei people and the Xiongnu people, and after seeing the fierceness of the Han people, the Cheshi Kingdom was not sure at all, and they asked for help from Wusun, Kucha, Yanqi, Gumo and other countries, but they were sank to the sea.

Gritting his teeth and fighting the Han army at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, he was defeated like a destruction. The king of Cheshi's front surrendered in Jiaohe City. Although he did not directly slaughter the city like he was against the Xiongnu or Xianbei, the royal family, officials and troops in the front of Cheshi's front were slaughtered. Since Yiwu, Yihe, and Liuzhong have completely returned to the Han people, they are the Han people. The soldiers of the Han soldiers will never be lenient to those who dare to attack the Han people. At the same time, the name of Cheshi's front was also renamed Qijiang City.

Seeing the tragic situation in the front of the Cheshi, the rear of the Cheshi naturally did not dare to surrender, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to resist, but was rebelled by the people in the city. The head of the king of the rear of the Cheshi was cut off by the people and presented to Guan Yu. The army in the city was also slaughtered all. The capital of the rear of the Cheshi was changed to Qihuo City. At this point, the east of the Tianshan Mountains was all Han territory, and this battle also showed the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Tong was promoted to the Western Regions' Protectorate for his merits and replaced Hua Xiong's position. He advocated Dunhuang, Zhangye and the newly established Xijun. Wang Ren was the prefect of Xijun. Although the troops were still maintained at about 30,000, no one dared to easily offend the power of the Han Dynasty after this battle. The Silk Road was unobstructed. Many small countries even began to pay tribute to Chang'an, hoping to get Ye Zhao's protection.

It took more than two years to start from Guan Yu and others to establish Xijun. When Ye Zhao returned from Zhangye, the princes of the Central Plains had already experienced another round of elimination. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's elimination of Ye Zhao was not surprising, but Liu Bei was actually eliminated so quickly, which really surprised Ye Zhao.

"It seems that Meng De has done a lot in the past two years!" Chang'an, Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Zhao looked at the information and shook his head.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, that is, the first year of Tai'an, just when Ye Zhao led his troops to fight against the Cheshi, Cao Cao issued a recruiting order to the world in the name of the emperor. Although he could not catch up with Chang'an, the military under Cao Cao's command has indeed increased a lot in the past two years. At the same time, although Ye Zhao's Divine Works Camp, this time Cao Cao's recruiting order also represents the status of craftsmen being recognized throughout the world, and is no longer a strange trick or trick in the mouth of Confucianism.

Moreover, Cao Cao issued three orders for seeking talents in the past and afterwards. At the same time, in the administration, he began to imitate Guanzhong in all aspects during the period when Ye Zhao went to the Western Regions and carried out drastic reforms. During Cao Cao's conquest of Liu Bei, four families, Guo, Xu, Chen and Ding, intended to subvert Cao Cao's regime during the Northern Expedition, but were all killed by Cao Cao's back. This time, Xuchang City was clear, thousands of people were killed, and more than a dozen small families were flattened, and a large amount of land was confiscated by Cao Cao. At the same time, the official field system was also launched. Following Guanzhong, the official field was only rented and not transferred or sold privately.

At this point, discerning people can already see that Cao Cao wanted to follow Ye Zhao, fundamentally suppress the aristocratic family and promote the development of industry.

"Well done!" Ye Zhao didn't wait for everyone to speak, and suddenly smiled: "Meng De has endured it for so many years and finally made up his mind!"

In fact, after Ye Zhao settled in Guanzhong, Cao Cao had already discovered the benefits of Ye Zhao's system. Moreover, with more and more scholars in the world, at the grassroots level, even in the Central Plains, their dependence on scholars continued to decrease. Since then, Cao Cao began to make plans.

Now that he defeated Yuan Shao, he had the military power, and the pressure brought by Ye Zhao had forced Cao Cao to imitate Ye Zhao.

"Lord, Cao Cao followed our Guanzhong policy and could speed up the lord's plan to break the scholarly class, but if it took too long, it would not be a good thing for our army!" Xi Zhicai took a step forward and bowed.

If Cao Cao's reform is completed, his national strength will continue to rise. At that time, Ye Zhao will not have much advantage in other aspects except for the advantages of weapons. Moreover, as Cao Cao promotes the development of industry, this gap may be gradually filled.

"No matter how long it takes to pull out seedlings to grow, he will not be able to catch up!" Ye Zhao smiled. The rise of Guanzhong's industry was based on the saturation of agriculture, which led to a large number of craftsmen practitioners. Although Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains, in terms of agriculture, manure had not been studied. At this time, he hurried to promote the progress of industry, and it could only be to pull out seedlings to grow.

Looking at everyone, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "But Zhicai said it well. At this time, Meng De had helped us completely shake the status of scholars. Just leave the rest to us."
