Chapter 139: The Opportunity Zhao Hui Waits

Yuan Shao and others formed an alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo, this was the opportunity that Zhao Hui had been waiting for.

This time the crusade was huge, but it ended hastily, and Yuan Shao's reputation was stained with dust.

In the eyes of many scholars, Yuan Shao's status has declined a lot after the end of this alliance.

And this time the alliance of princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and the central government, which was completely controlled by Dong Zhuo, lost control of the local government.

Especially when Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an later, the order of the Chang'an government could no longer pass Luoyang.

Even Dong Zhuo's edict to appoint Liu Yu as the Taifu could not be sent to Liu Yu's hands.

The Chang'an government, in the eyes of these princes, has become an ornament, and when needed, someone will send a piece of music, so that the Chang'an government will be issued a letter of appointment.

When you don't need it, even if you receive an edict from the imperial court, it's a fire, and you don't see it.

And among the princes, there is a fierce fight one after another, and everyone wants to annex others and strengthen themselves.

Yuan Shao's alliance this time not only failed to support the Han, but completely shook the foundation of the Han.

Before this, even if Dong Zhuo was in chaos, the Han Dynasty was still one, and the magistrates in various places were still appointed by the imperial court.

But after that, the local magistrates either appointed themselves as the governors of Taishou Prefecture, or appointed themselves as governors, and then symbolically handed a fold to the central government.

Yuan Shao made a Jizhou pastor by himself, and then appointed a Qingzhou pastor and a state pastor.

Tao Qian dared to play Liu Bei as the pastor of Yuzhou.

There can be two or three state pastors in a state at the same time.

At this time, Zhao Hui can naturally stand up and say that he is too shou of Shanggu County.

Even if others knew that he was a remnant of the Yellow Turban, at this time, except for Gongsun Zhan, who was also in Youzhou, would attack Zhao Hui, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others would definitely not let go of the enemies around them, and sent troops all the way to attack him.

Although Gongsun Chan also won the name of a white horse general in Youzhou, Zhao Hui was completely confident that he would defeat Gongsun Chan in the back and fully occupy Youzhou.

As for Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Zhao Hui didn't pay attention to it.

Liu Yu is indeed a benevolent and righteous person, and he is not like Liu Bei who just said so.

Liu Yu is a person who is consistent in his words and deeds, and his ability can completely benefit the people of a state.

But this is in troubled times, a person like him who implements benevolence and righteousness to the end will not be able to gain a foothold after all, and he is blocking the way of others, and he is doomed to only a tragedy.

Although Liu Bei is also based on benevolence and righteousness, he never relents when it is time to be ruthless.

No matter who it is, no one dares to underestimate Liu Bei, who is full of benevolence and righteousness.

Gongsun Zhan had already set off with his soldiers and horses, and Zhao Hui was not in a hurry to make a move.

The alliance army on Yuan Shao's side, this crusade against Dong Zhuo, to Dong Zhuo's move to Chang'an, the disbandment of the alliance army and internal strife, there is still more than half a year.

Zhao Hui first sent a large number of scouts to observe the battle situation on the battlefield.

During this period, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and other princes did not have any combat experience comparable to Dong Zhuo.

In his more than 30 years of career, Dong Zhuo has won countless battles and tasted defeat.

Facing the allied armies in the north and southeast, Dong Zhuo didn't have much pressure in his heart, and he didn't even go to the front line to command.

but only sent a few generals under him to deal with the attacks of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes.

To the north, Dong Zhuo sent his son-in-law Niu Fu and Li Su, who had been promoted to the rank of general of the Tiger Ben, to join forces with Meng Jin and Xiao Pingjin to prevent Sun Zhan, the king of Yuan Shao, from crossing the river.

There is a natural danger of the Yellow River, as long as Niu Fu and Li Su hold Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, Yuan Shao's army will not dare to cross the Yellow River easily.

On the eastern front, Dong Zhuo sent generals Duan Xuan, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong and others to garrison Chenggao, Xingyang, Xuanyuan Pass, and Taigu Pass respectively to resist Cao Cao, Zhang Miao, and other princes stationed in Sujube.

The southern line, headed by Hu Zhen Huaxiong and Lu Bu, was stationed at Guangcheng Pass and Yique Pass. Defend against Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, who were stationed in Luyang.

Although the Kwantung Alliance Army led by Yuan Shao had an army of more than 100,000 people.

But the troops in Dong Zhuo's hands will not be much less than them.

Dong Zhuo had already transferred all his 50,000 Xiliang soldiers, plus the original forbidden army in Luoyang, and Lu Bu called over 20,000 Bingzhou troops from Bingzhou.

Whether it is the Xiliang soldiers or the Bingzhou soldiers, they are all tiger and wolf divisions, and the strength of the 50,000 forbidden army will be a little worse, but this is also a forbidden army.

The armies of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are almost all newly recruited, and many soldiers have not yet been trained.

Relying on their more than a dozen princes alone, the hundreds of thousands of troops temporarily pulled up, if they want to break through the layers of checkpoints, enter Luoyang, and kill Dong Zhuo, the difficulty is not ordinary.

Zhao Hui analyzed from the news sent back by Tanma that Dong Zhuo had more advantages.

Whether it was Yuan Shao on the northern front, Cao Cao on the eastern front, and Yuan Shu on the southern front, it was difficult to break through Dong Zhuo's defensive line.

On the eastern front where Cao Cao was located, all the princes gathered in Suojube, and when they saw Dong Zhuo's formation, many people had already dispelled the idea of attacking Dong Zhuo in their hearts.

These soldiers were just recruited by them, and no one thought about their own soldiers, and they were wasted here.

The world is already in chaos, his own soldiers are lost here, and what capital does he have to protect his territory after he goes back.

If you can break through Luoyang and kill Dong Zhuo, maybe you can still be saved.

But now it seems that even if they combine their strength, they will not be able to meet the requirements of killing Dong Zhuo.

Although Cao Cao had the intention of sending troops, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, was not in the sour date.

Although Cao Cao is famous, he left Luoyang later than Zhang Miao and others, and he left with the reputation of failing to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

Although he has a reputation, Cao Cao's current position is the lowest among this group of princes.

His current general Fenwu was still given by Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao was here, most of these princes followed Yuan Shao at the beginning, and Yuan Shao is now the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shao will personally speak, and they will still listen.

But it was only Cao Cao, and Cao Cao himself only had five thousand newly recruited recruits, and no one paid attention to Cao Cao except for Zhang Miao and Bao Xin, who were good friends with Cao Cao.

After staying in Hanoi for a few days, Gongsun Chan took his people around and joined the Jujube Alliance.

Only Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang's people were left in Hanoi.

The alliance army faced Dong Zhuo's defense for several months without progress.

Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance army, was not in a hurry at all.

He was guarding Hanoi, and although he sent people to inquire about the situation of Suo Zao and Luyang, he never gave the order to attack.

After spending a few months in this peace, Yuan Shao began to propose that they set up a separate imperial court and make Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou, the emperor.

However, his proposal was strongly opposed by Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others.

And when the news reached Liu Yu's hands, Liu Yu also resolutely refused.

Yuan Shao saw it more clearly than the other princes.

In the past few months, although his army has not done anything, Yuan Shao has been thinking about the problems behind him every day and various situations that may arise.

Killing Dong Zhuo has little hope, and Yuan Shao must find another way that can allow him to obtain the greatest benefits.
