In fact, other than Fan Xing, there were other people who had been rewarded for the destruction of the Yellow Turban. However, they had not been summoned by the Spirit Emperor to be rewarded. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were among them, and Fan Xing naturally knew about them. However, what made Fan Xing somewhat helpless was that Liu Bei had actually achieved some results in the battle to destroy the Yellow Turban. Fan Xing could only sigh and say,"It really isn't an ordinary cockroach's life.”
In fact, Liu Bei had no other choice at that time. After all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were supposed to be sworn brothers with him, were now under Fan Xing. Therefore, Liu Bei could be said to be alone at that time. However, his so-called identity as a relative of the royal family was still useful. Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang had contributed to Liu Bei's cause. They had sent a lot of materials to Liu Bei and allowed Liu Bei to recruit some local soldiers. However, he could not do much without a general.
After Liu Bei destroyed a few smaller waves of the Yellow Turban Army, he unexpectedly met a person who should not have appeared. This person had a face like a heavy jujube and eyes like bright stars. He looked somewhat similar to Guan Yu. Liu Bei saw that this person had an extraordinary aura and wanted to make friends with him. Through conversation, Liu Bei also knew this person's name. This person was actually Wei Yan. When Fan Xing found out that this person was Wei Yan, he could not help but sigh at Liu Bei's luck. He did not expect to lose two brothers, but still find a good brave general. One had to know that Wei Yan was one of the top generals in the Three Kingdoms.
With Wei Yan's help, Liu Bei's victory in eliminating the Yellow Turban soldiers was smooth sailing. Although he did not make a big contribution like Fan Xing, Liu Bei still reaped a lot of benefits. At the very least, his troops had increased by a lot. However, Liu Bei was still in a dire state.
As for Cao Cao, there was no need to talk about him. He was a formidable man in the Three Kingdoms. In this operation to eliminate the Yellow Turban, he could be said to be the most dazzling light besides Fan Xing. However, due to Fan Xing's appearance, Cao Cao's light was overshadowed by Fan Xing's light. For this reason, Cao Cao was also unwilling.
In fact, Cao Cao had already wanted to compete with Fan Xing after he became famous. After all, Fan Xing was only a teenager at that time, while Cao Cao was already around 20 years old, but he was still unknown. This made Cao Cao, who was ambitious and wanted to show off, feel a little jealous and unwilling. Therefore, under Fan Xing's stimulation, Cao Cao began to accumulate his strength much earlier. For this reason, Cao Cao restrained his lust and focused on developing his own power with the Xiahou brothers. However, although Cao Cao's strength had increased by a lot, he had also lost a virtuous wife. As the saying went, there was always a loss.
After the successful extermination of the Yellow Turbans, the two of them were given official positions because of their contributions. However, Liu Bei did not have much financial resources and did not inform some people, so he was only given a medium-sized official position with no real power. Liu Bei was helpless about this. Although Wei Yan was fine with it, he was actually dissatisfied. Cao Cao was much smarter. He immediately sent many valuable things over in exchange for a relatively good official position.
After establishing a good relationship with He Jin, Fan Xing had returned to Youzhou Province with Diao Chan. As Fan Xing was the Youzhou Mu, after he left the court that day, he had immediately assigned someone to take the letter of appointment back to the three prefectures. Closely after that, he had the people of the three prefectures assign someone to take over the affairs of Youzhou Mu.
However, when he took over Youzhou Prefecture, he thought that there would be some troubles. Unexpectedly, he had left after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, which made Xun Yu very helpless. After a short sigh, Xun Yu immediately took over Youzhou Prefecture. Closely after that, he dispatched some people from the three prefectures to help him take over the other prefectural governors of Youzhou Province except for one or two stubborn ones. The rest was settled very easily, because many officials in these places had left during the Yellow Turban uprising. After seeing Xun Yu's methods, how could the remaining ones dare to resist?
After taking over these places, Xun Yu immediately implemented the policy of three prefectures. The local landowners had more or less heard about the three prefectures, so they were very cooperative. After the prefectural governors calculated all the population, they immediately handed over all the farmlands and started to do business like the landowners of the three prefectures. The farmlands were also distributed to the commoners like the three prefectures. Then, the commoners began to cultivate according to the new policy. After handing over a certain amount of food every year, the rest of the food was left for them, and the land was distributed according to the population of each household.
After assigning the land, Xun Yu immediately started to build roads between prefectures, prefectures, towns and villages in Youzhou Province. Although this project was a bit big, it had to be carried out seriously for the sake of better development. Therefore, after this order was issued, those local officials immediately started to carry it out. They would check it every day to ensure that nobody would cut corners.
After Youzhou Province gradually entered a stable and continuous development, Xun Yu also started to assign people to migrate some commoners from the three prefectures which had already been saturated with population to the other prefectures in Youzhou Province so as to fill the vacancy of local population. The person in charge of this order was Yan Pu who came here from Bajun County after hearing the name of the people. Previously, he thought that those commoners would have a great opinion about this migration. Therefore, Yan Pu had made preparations for it. However, he was surprised that those commoners didn't have any opinion at all. On the contrary, he comforted the people who were still uneasy in Youzhou. This made Yan Pu recall Xun You's words: "Yan Pu, you don't have to do this. Your mission this time is actually very simple.”At that time, Yan Pu thought that Xun You was joking. Now, Yan Pu understood Xun You's meaning and admired the position of the lord in the hearts of the people. With such a united people's hearts, there was no need to worry about not achieving great things.
After migrating from the three prefectures to Youzhou Province and accepting refugees and immigrants from all over the country, more and more people gradually came to Youzhou Province. Farming could also be operated normally. It was believed that Youzhou Province would have an earth-shaking change one year later. After transferring some troops from the three prefectures to Youzhou Province, Xun Yu also started to carry out national military training and serve regularly. All the 18-year-olds had to serve in the army for two years. After serving in the army, these teenagers also had to attend some training regularly every day. Of course, the timing would not affect the farming of the people. After Yu Jin and some other generals were passionately mobilized, the people responded enthusiastically.
As for the Chamber of Commerce in Youzhou Province, after Zhao Feng became the first one, those bigger and more far-sighted landowners also followed suit. After a period of adaptation and a good harvest, those landowners were all willing to start various businesses. Of course, the largest one was still the Chamber of Commerce that Zhao Feng belonged to.
Since Fan Xing had made his name in the Yellow Turban uprising, more and more capable people came to join him, especially those skilled craftsmen. Because their abilities were considered to be exotic skills, only Fan Xing could let them display their talents, so these skilled craftsmen all came to join him. In this way, the equipment of Fan Xing's army gradually improved, and Xun Yu also knew the importance of these people. Therefore, they arranged a unified place for these people to live and arranged for people to protect them.
There were also many civil officials and generals who had come to join him, including Jiang Qin, Xu Chu, Zhang He, Gao Shun, Liang Xi, Liu Ba, Tian Yu, Chen Gong, Liao Li, Guo Yuan, Tian Chou, and so on. This had greatly improved Fan Xing's strength. When Fan Xing returned to Youzhou, the entire Youzhou Province had become prosperous, unlike the destruction caused by the Yellow Turban Uprising.
