Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ming Expedition to Hanyang Secretly Recruits Troops
In spring and March, the sun is shining, and everything is recovering.
The peach blossoms in the Shanglin Garden have bloomed a few branches, and the fragrance is full of mountains and fields, attracting many bees and butterflies that have just been resurrected.
Thirteen days have passed since the imperial court issued an edict to crusade against Liu Yun.
But until now, Liu Yun has not seen a soldier appear outside Chang'an City, who came to him with a bow and arrows to find trouble, and Xingshi asked him about his crime.
Even, in the entire Central Plains, he did not hear a single news of the transfer of troops.
It's as if everyone has collectively forgotten about it.
In the Luoyang Palace, it is said that Emperor Xian recruited a few new Zhaoyi to discuss state affairs with Wang Situ all night.
Cai Yong left the court and disappeared.
It is rumored that he took his family and lived in seclusion in the wild mountains.
Cao Cao left the sour jujube with his troops and plunged headlong into the northeast of Yanzhou's eastern county, where the rebels were intensively active.
Yuan Shao was still busy recruiting troops, and it was rumored that his men had run quite far, and he sent people to recruit troops when they went south to Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and even Liaodong, which was controlled by Gongsun Du.
I don't know if he did this to follow His Majesty's edict to crusade against Liu Yun, or to defend Jizhou.
But anyway, Liu Yun felt that this kid was recruiting troops under the guise of crusading against him, and this business acumen was still quite good.
Except for Yuan Shao, the other princes seem to be more angry recently.
The news of the war before and after has reached Liu Yun's ears a lot.
What surprised Liu Yun was that it was still the center of power in Luoyang, and the fight was a little exciting.
Hearing the definite news from the sword, Niu Fu died.
died in the hands of Huangfu Song, was attacked by stray arrows, and in a blink of an eye, he died and went to serve his father-in-law.
After Niu Fu's death, his subordinates Li Dao and Guo Yan led the remnants of the army to flee to Luoyang, and played the banner of revenge for Dong Zhuo in the middle of the road, and subdued Dong Zhuo all the way to escape the rout troops everywhere after Dong Zhuo's death.
But the good times didn't last long, and as soon as the two of them took up, they were swept away by Jiang Zheng and his army.
It was a defeated army, but when it met the elite under Jiang Zheng, it only lasted less than half a day before it was defeated.
They probably calculated that Luoyang was empty and wanted to take the opportunity to do something.
But it seems to ignore Huangfu Song's back, and there is also a Hanyang army that has long been eyeing their piece of fat.
Regardless of the front and back, the loss is in front of you.
However, Li Dao and Guo Yan were very strong, although they were beaten out of ten, but the route of the march did not change, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals still ran to Luoyang with all their strength.
The trend of history, under Liu Yun's deliberate actions, has undergone tremendous changes.
But the fate of Li Dao and Guo Yan does not seem to have changed.
This made Liu Yun feel surprised, but it is also understandable that manpower is sometimes indispensable, and after all, it still can't go against the river of history.
Li Dao and Guo Yan can have such a weird, unbeatable Xiaoqiang-like behavior, Liu Yun doesn't need to investigate, and he can know with certainty that this is definitely Jia Xu's suggestion.
Originally, these two people waved Luoyang, which was the plan of Jia Xu, who had just emerged in the Liangzhou army, but now it seems that there has not been much change.
Niu Fu's Xiliang army was defeated in Luoyang, and Hangu Pass and Yiyang fell into Jiang Zheng's hands.
After Huangfu Song killed Niu Fu, he stationed his troops in Michi, and Yu Jiang was facing each other, but his situation was not optimistic.
Jiang Zheng used the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, first defeated Liang Yan under the command of Huangfu Song, captured Tongguan and Huayin, and occupied Hangu Pass and Yiyang at this time.
Huangfu Song's army was sandwiched in Michi, like a piece of meat sandwiched between Tongguan and Hangu Pass.
A piece of meat sandwich bun with eight classics and a very vivid image.
In such a situation, what choice Huangfu Song would make, Liu Yun couldn't guess.
This person, Liu Yun really can't estimate it now, and he doesn't want to guess.
But what Liu Yun can be sure of is that Huangfu Song should definitely be very uncomfortable now, he can't advance, he can't retreat, like a rat that has entered the bellows.
This old fox was uncomfortable, and Liu Yun was happy.
Playing a game of false shooting with him, it turns out that he will really suffer.
The news these days can be regarded as great news for Liu Yun.
His layout in the Central Plains has now basically achieved the purpose he once wanted. When Gai Xun took Meixian and robbed Dong Zhuo of the family property that he had taken by all means, things would be considered perfect.
At this time, Liu Yun had already left Chang'an, and was in the Qinling Mountains, personally staring at the construction of the Meridian Road.
This road to Shuzhong, starting from Zhouzhi County on the bank of the Weishui River, ends in Luoyang, and part of it takes the original Meridian Valley trail.
The position of the road in strategy was recognized a long time ago, and Qin Zhidao is a strong example.
And Liu Yun attaches more importance to this.
A person who has come from later generations is enough to deeply understand the important role of infrastructure for strategy and social development.
Therefore, for the construction of this road, Liu Yun should be regarded as an absolute great effort.
He transferred a full 20,000 soldiers from Wang Zhi's army, and at the same time 70,000 people recruited from Youfufeng, who invested in the construction of roads, and the daily consumption of money and food was simply sky-high.
Moreover, the whole road is solid, and some dangerous sections are based on boulders and paved with gravel.
Wang Zhi actually didn't understand this matter, just as he didn't understand the training method arranged for him by Liu Yun. In his eyes, Liu Yun doing this is probably like not doing his job.
Whether it is a direct rebellion, or a tiger to devour wolves, and a rebellion against the world.
Wang Zhi always felt that now he was standing at the foot of the former imperial city. It is time to take advantage of the trend and give an order to overcome the Central Plains, which is what Zheng'er Bajing should do at this time.
Opening mountains and building roads will be a matter for the future.
This kind of incomprehensible question has been held in my heart for a long time, and it is easy to make people manic, especially with a character like Wang Zhi.
So, in the early morning when the mountain wind was howling, he grabbed Liu Yun's heels and went up the mountain.
The wind in the mountains was still a little hard, blowing on the armor and making a tinkling sound.
"How's the training going?" Liu Yun sat on the rock, looking at the team in front of him who was vigorously opening the mountain.
Black powder, the only golden finger given by Liu Che, is simply a weapon to overcome the world.
Without this, the progress of road construction would definitely lag by more than three times.
Wang Zhi stopped in surprise and asked in surprise, "How can the lord hear that it's mine?" ”
He saw it very clearly, Liu Yun's gaze didn't glance behind him at all, how could he notice that the person who was coming was him?
This made Wang Zhi can't help but admire Liu Yun again, he is worthy of being his own lord, and this knowledge of people and things is extraordinary.
Liu Yun said with a smile: "Few people will walk their steps like a bear patrolling the mountains, except for you!" ”
