李傕、郭汜自戰敗西涼兵，諸侯莫敢誰何。賈詡屢勸撫安百姓，結納賢豪。自是朝廷微有生意。不想青州黃巾又起，聚眾數十萬，頭目不等，劫掠良民。太僕朱雋，保舉一人，可破群賊。李傕、郭汜問是何人。朱雋曰：「要破山東群賊，非曹孟德不可。」李傕曰：「孟德今在何處？」雋曰：「見為東郡太守，廣有軍兵。若命此人討賊，賊可剋日而破也。」李傕大喜，星夜草詔，差人齎往東郡，命曹操與濟北相鮑信一同破賊。操領了聖旨，會合鮑信，一同興兵，擊賊於壽陽。鮑信殺入重地，為賊所害。操追趕賊兵，直到濟北，降者數萬。操即用賊為前驅，兵馬到處，無不降須。不過百餘日，招安到降兵三十餘萬、男女百餘萬口。操擇精銳者，號為「青州兵」，其餘盡令歸農。操自此威名日重。捷書報到長安，朝廷加曹操為鎮東將軍。No one of the leaders among the leaguers dared attempt an attack on the party newly risen from Dong Zhuo's disaffection, while on the other hand Jia Xu never ceased to urge his masters to exert themselves for the welfare of the people and thus to tempt wise people to join them. And by these means the government began to prosper, and the court to reassert its authority. However, a new trouble arose in the shape of a resurgence of Yellow Scarves in Qingzhou. They came, under numerous chieftains, in the number of hundreds of thousand and plundered any place they reached. Court Administrator Zhu Jun said he knew of one who could destroy this sedition, and when asked who was the man he proposed, Zhu Jun said, "You want to destroy this horde of rebels: You will fail unless you get the service of Cao Cao." "And where is he?" asked Li Jue. "He is Governor of Dongjun. He has a large army, and you have only to order him to act. The rising will be broken." A messenger went post haste with a command for Cao Cao and Bao Xin, Lord of Jibei, to act together in quelling the rebellion. As soon as Cao Cao received the court command, he arranged with his colleagues first to attack the rebels at Shouyang. Bao Xin made a dash right into their midst and inflicting damage wherever he could, but he was killed in battlefield. Cao Cao pursued the rebels as they fled to Jibei. Ten thousand surrendered. Then Cao Cao put his former enemies in the van. When his army reached any place, many more surrendered and joined him. After one hundred days, he had won over three hundred thousand troops and more than one million ordinary folks. Of these new adherents the strongest and boldest were made the Qingzhou Army, and the others were sent home to their fields. In consequence of these successes Cao Cao's prestige and fame became very great and increased daily. He reported his success to Capital Changan and was rewarded with the title of General Who Guards the East. Liu Dai then submitted; he and his officials sent to Dongjun and invited Cao Cao to take over Yanzhou.
