Chapter 11 Heading East

The next morning, the whole army crossed a great river with a very strong flow.

Listen to others tell you that this river is famous for its Luoshui. Tong Yuan always thought that Luoshui was close to Luoyang, but in fact, the Luohe River has two rivers, the North Luo River and the South Luo River, and the North Luo River is an important tributary of Weishui, that is, the river he is crossing.

Although the river flows through the mountains and forests, it can be seen that there is a lot of sediment in the water. However, the air was very fresh, and apart from the chirping of birds, it was quiet.

Immediately after crossing the river, the whole army camped and rested. However, Tong Yuan took a break and his body was very durable after crossing, so he began to chat with the soldiers.

After a day of communication, I found that the composition of the unloading ridge department was very interesting.

Some religious followers have been in the army for a long time, and they are good at feng shui and other aspects. Others used to follow Huang Yu Luocao, but due to the chaos in the troubled times, and the rampant expropriation of the officials of the Shi clan, they had no choice but to dump the mountains and fight.

Finally, there are the largest number of people in Runan, Chen Liu's old Yellow Turban Department, this group of people after the failure of the Yellow Turban, fell into the grass to make a living.

Among them, there are people such as Shen Long, who have been dealing with soil for decades, and what is buried in the ground, they only need to dig out some soil and take a look at it, and they will know if there are any good things buried underneath; If you want to know the age and how to dig it, you will have a certain number when you smell it.

Since then, this team has been entrenched in the Runan area, selling their goods to Yingchuan and Nanyang and other areas with many scholars, and survived for several years under the protection of the scholars who received corresponding profits.

Until the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD), Huang Fu Song and Dong Zhuo defeated the rebels who had entered Sanfu and Han Sui, and Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan went through great hardships to exterminate Zhang Ju, who was the emperor of Youzhou. Subsequently, Dong Zhuo's troops entered Hedong to deter the Southern Xiongnu and the Baibo army.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao's stupid move led to He Jin's rebellion, which completely shattered the last hope for stability.

Shen Long's group of men and horses was also involved in the chaotic situation, first joined the "righteous army" of the Kwantung princes, but was defeated by the Dong Zhuo army of Xiliang, and Shen Long and others were immediately absorbed. Soon, they followed Lu Bu, Zhang Lu and other generals to excavate the tombs of the two Han Dynasty in the Sili area, and because of their outstanding ability, Shenlong and others officially became an important part of the Unloading Department.

The remaining Hu Cong and Situn soldiers of the original convoy on the road naturally knew each other all the way to the Jieling Department, but the Jieling Department did not have the slightest good impression of the original Hu soldiers, especially Huang Yu and Hu Lang'er, who were not used to each other.

Tong Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, his side is the most disgusted group of the scholars, Dong Jiajun, Qianghu people, inverted fighters, Yellow Turban remnants, etc., it is simply the lowest moral point in the eyes of the scholars in this era!

However, didn't the Han Dynasty fail to deal with the problems of the border army, the Hu people, and the peasants, so that these groups had to take risks. Can you manage them yourself? He doesn't know it himself, but since he has come to this era, let's learn more and work hard.

At this time, there were different voices in the ranks, especially the soldiers from the Central Plains of the Xieling Division, who were very reluctant to have much contact with the Hu people, and were even more dissatisfied with the escape to the Xiongnu-ruled area. However, most of the military officials were from Xiliang, and most of them were bombed or indifferent.

Tong Yuan has a deeper thought about this matter. He believes that there are two urgent things that must be done as soon as possible, the first is to reorganize the team. Second, we must seize the opportunity in the matter of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and others seizing political power.

In this case, the original plan could not keep up with the changes. The Shangjun and Shuofang regions under the control of the Hu people in the north will completely miss the opportunity, and when they come back, I am afraid that the results have already been redistributed.

If you cross the Yellow River to the east, the journey is long and full of dangers, and the main thing is that you are likely to be killed by the rebels who have become bandits. However, there is indeed a chance to the east, and of course it is not possible to rely on others in troubled times. According to the memory, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Fan Chou competed for power and profit with each other, and soon they all turned into ashes, and Tong Yuan certainly didn't plan to bury these people.

However, Tong Yuan and the team, the third strength outside Liangzhou and the Central Plains - nearly 100 people in Bingzhou, had a plan after the exchange.

After Tong Yuan made up his mind, he found Dong Bai and said, "Yuan thought that if the gentleman wanted to take revenge and kill Wang Yun and Lu Bu, the team should march eastward. Our army still has two generals, Niu Fu and Dong Yue, and an army of 100,000 under Si Li, even if the road is difficult, it is the fastest road to revenge. ”

Dong Bai hesitated: "I don't know much about these things, it seems that Xiangdong has to go a long way, the team needs supplies and corrections, what should I do if I encounter a pursuit again?"

Tong Yuan smiled slightly and said, "We can let the Wubao and the county seat of the route fund it."

"Ah, how can these people give us support, do they want to attack?"

"Yes, you can play the slogan of revenge for Dong Taishi, Taishi has great kindness to Xiliang and Qianghu, and there will be countless people who will respond. The dock forts and county towns are still loyal to Wang Yun and other rebels, and if they can take it, they will be killed, and if they can't, they will be bypassed. ”

Tong Yuan knew that it was necessary to determine the goal of the march now, and it would definitely not work to continue to the north, and to the north he could go deep into Shangjun, which had become the territory of Hu rule, and this route was relatively safe, but there was no future. And Jia Xu should be about to exert his power, so it should be no problem to change the route to the east.

"Yuan believes that our troops keep advancing in the border area, especially to the east, where most of the border troops are grateful to the Taishi, and unlike Xiliang, who has been purged by the enemy. Not far from Sanfu, you can also counterattack Chang'an, and you can cross the Yellow River and enter the Hedong region eastward when you encounter a large group of pursuers. At the same time, it is convenient to contact Niu Fu, Dong Yue and their subordinates Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to send troops to take revenge. ”

Dong Bai was of course moved when he heard this, but his eyes showed worry, and he said: "But with this arrangement, it is very likely to encounter Wang Yun's pursuers head-on." If Lu Bu chases after him, then it's best, I just kill him to take revenge. But what if Xu Rong chases after him!? ”

Xu Rong? Is Dong Bai wrong about anything, Lu Bu is so terrifying, but she is not afraid of him chasing and killing at all, but Xu Rong, who is unknown in later generations, makes her worried.

Tong Yuan didn't know that Xu Rong was the hardest man under Dong Zhuo. His impression of Xu Rong mainly stayed in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his people and Xiahou were killed in countless battles, and the second-rate level values in the game.

However, in history, his record is jaw-dropping. Although there are few records about him in the history books, two things are clearly recorded.

First, he defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian successively, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian themselves were in great danger, and they were able to escape by relying on the fierce generals around him.

Second, Xu Rong was born in Xuanwu County, Youzhou, and Dong Zhuojun, who had fierce factional struggles, was able to rise to prominence, and he must have made great achievements in quelling several rebellions in Xiliang, and his own strength must be very good.

Tong Yuan basically didn't understand this, and said: "No matter who chases us, we will definitely not be able to run away all the time, only by reorganizing the border army and the bottom of the army that have been excluded and oppressed by the Shi clan and accumulating strength at the bottom can we take revenge."

Dong Bai didn't seem to be worried anymore, so he agreed to explain a little more to everyone tonight, and then changed his route to the east.

In fact, Tong Yuan's real goal is not to go east to seek refuge with Niu Fu and Dong Yue, and the price of relying on warlords in history is very heavy. Moreover, he communicated with the soldiers from Bingzhou and saw some places that could be developed. He knew that Jia Xu was about to help Li Dao and Guo Yan counterattack Chang'an, so he wanted to take the initiative to seize the opportunity.

However, the slightest mistake can be costly.
