Chapter 506: Liu Dai asks for help
Qi Han was destroyed by the remnants of the Yellow Turban, and this matter quickly spread all over the world, causing a big uproar.
Things deteriorated even further, a large number of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans not only wiped out Qi Han, but after wreaking havoc in Qingzhou, they had already coerced hundreds of thousands of people, known as a million army, and passed in the direction of Yanzhou.
Jinan County bore the brunt, and Bao Xin, who was entrenched in Jinan and Jibei, was naturally at the forefront.
At this time, Bao Xin remembered that he had a boss, completely forgot that he listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and even ignored Liu Dai's order, and sent someone to Dongjun to ask for help.
Liu Dai's territory is also large enough, not only Dongjun, but also Jiyin County, Dongping County, Rencheng County and Shanyang County. Among them, excluding Jiyin County, the other three original Han feudal kingdoms came.
"Ignored my orders before, and now you're embarrassed to ask me for help?" Regarding Bao Xin's request for help, Liu Dai almost planned to ignore it and let him be destroyed by the Yellow Turban Thief.
"Your Royal Highness, Yanzhou is one and the same, and the lips are ......dead and the teeth are cold," Li Dian had to step forward to persuade, "Not to mention Jinan and Jibei, they are also under the rule of His Highness." ”
"Of course I know!" Liu Dai replied, "It's just that I went to crusade in front, and Zhang Miao suddenly called in the back, what should I do?" There are few people with me, I don't have enough to fill in myself, there are too many people, and the rear is prone to problems! ”
If it weren't for that, he would have directly ordered troops to go to battle, and there was still no need to complain here? How many of them can become the pastor of Dahan Prefecture? !
"Can't you invite him to fight with you?" Yu Ban tried to ask.
"What if he doesn't send troops?" Liu Dai shook his head, "Gu has already thought about it, maybe he can let Han Wang Chen Bing border, so that Zhang Miao will not dare to act rashly." But then I remembered that King Han seemed to have a fight with Yuan Shu......"
The soldiers who stayed in Chen Guo were estimated to be not many at all, and they could barely protect themselves, and they did not pose any threat to Zhang Miao.
"How about asking Your Majesty for help?" Ren Jun proposed that Liu Dai did not claim the title of emperor anyway, and many things were operable, "You can let them send troops to Chen Liu, and then bring Zhang Miao to come over to converge." In this way, we can resist the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and we will be a little more sure. ”
"Asking for help, Lone has also thought about it." Liu Dai sighed, "I'm just worried that Liu Tao will fake the Dao, and there is not enough price, so I guess I won't move them." ”
"How about we pay tribute to them?" Li Dian asked tentatively.
"He is not the kind of existence that values form, and the imperial examination system has proved that he values practical benefits more. Calling a minister is obviously not enough. Liu Dai shook his head, the biggest trouble is actually that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God.
The other party has come to Dongjun's side, will he be willing to return to Sizhou? Besides, Liu Tao had just conquered Sizhou, or there were still three or four counties in Sizhou, and they were only nominally subordinate.
Ma Teng on the Liangzhou side is also still fighting, Anding and Beidi are still in the hands of Dong Zhuo's remnants, and it is said that Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang, with Li Dao and Guo Yan, carried out the final resistance.
In other words, Liu Tao has not yet dealt with all the messy things himself, and he is not stable enough, how can he send troops to support him?
Liu Tao and Liu Pet can't count on it, Zhang Miao is like a thorn in his back, how can he go out to crusade against the yellow scarf?
"You might as well send someone over to inquire first, and besides, it's only about two days away anyway." Li Dian felt that it would not be too bad anyway, but it was another matter not to do it.
"It's only like this...... "What else can Liu Dai do, just like Li Dian said, he still has to try after all."
So a letter of request for help was sent to Luoyang, but not to Cao Cao, but to Guan Yu, the general of Annam.
In the letter, Liu Dai said that he hoped that the imperial court would go out to quell the rebellion, and at the same time help urge Zhang Miao to send troops to fight together. Liu Dai expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the imperial court and provide the materials needed by the army to go on the expedition.
"Qingzhou Yellow Turban...... It's true that you can't leave it alone......" Guan Yu looked at the request for help carefully, it is said that if you want to fight a diplomatic war, you still need to go to Jinyang's side and get a reply before you can go on the expedition.
It's just that after three or five days, plus the time to prepare, it is estimated that it will be too late to go on another expedition.
"Wouldn't it be better to wait for South Korea to be breached, and then we should go over and pick up the bargain?" Ma Dai thought for a moment and asked.
"We don't have such officials to govern Yanzhou at the moment, and the existing forces are not allowed to stretch the defensive line." As a military advisor, Xi Zhicai explained that the key defense now is Henan Yin and Hanoi County.
The main thing to watch out for is Yuan Shao's sudden attack. On the Yin side of Henan, the main thing is to beware of the Yuan Shu Department on the Nanyang side going north, and to a certain extent, beware of Zhang Miao from Chenliu County.
"How many men can we send to support?" Guan Yu thought about it, and then asked Xi Zhicai.
"Only a thousand cavalry, a thousand foot soldiers, and five hundred crossbowmen could be dispatched." Xi Zhicai thought about it, considering the minimum defense, it can be adjusted to this extent at most.
At present, after receiving the news, Yuan Shu and Liu Pet fought, and there should be no extra energy to go north during this period. To the south of Hanoi, there were already Xiahoudun, Fang Yue, and Huangfu Li guarding there, so it was said that there was no big problem.
"It's okay, when my brother started the army, the cavalry was only three or five hundred." Guan Yu said with a smile. It's just that I didn't expect that with so many troops at the beginning, a huge foundation would be laid.
"What about Your Majesty?" Cao Ren stepped forward and asked, "Don't you ask for instructions?" ”
"We are ordered to guard the town, and we should have a certain right to decide. The performance still has to be played, but the matter of going on the expedition is urgent. Guan Yu replied, "Send someone to give Your Majesty a lecture on this matter, and at the same time prepare the supplies of soldiers and horses, prepare dry food for about three days, and then set off on the expedition." ”
When he arrived at Chen Liujun's side, he had to take out Liu Dai's letter of request for help and ask Zhang Miao for food and supplies, but if the latter didn't give it, then he would help Liu Dai kill him by the way.
Anyway, there are quite a few scrolls in his hand, or rather the scrolls he can use. After returning from the crusade against Dong Zhuo, in the past few months, Liu Taoke made a lot of scrolls and distributed them to them.
"Don't have siege engines?" Xi Zhicai tried to ask, this thing is the one that slows down the speed of the march the most.
"The Yellow Turban Thieves don't know how to defend the city at all, who have we been afraid of in the field?" Guan Yu replied casually, he really had the scroll in his hand, and he was steady. Thinking that I could be reckless and earn war merits by the way, my heart suddenly felt happy.
Guarding this Sizhou, there has been no battle to fight, and it is also very boring!
"Okay, my subordinates will arrange ......" Xi Zhicai heard this, and it was not easy to persuade anything, so he immediately went down to prepare.
Two days later, the army was assembled in Luoyang and moved towards Chenliu County......
