After all, Han Yi didn't dare to speak up to his own thoughts, so he attributed the crime of killing hundreds of officials to Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, and beheaded the two to appease the spirits of hundreds of officials. Although the rumors in this world have been temporarily dispelled, they are like a volcano, and they are only temporarily silent.

Han Yi was always uneasy in his heart, so he summoned his ministers to discuss how to develop military politics in the future.

Zhong Xuan, the former Huangmen squire, bowed and said: "The general wants to be the emperor, and he will forcibly dominate the world." This prestige and strength are sufficient. However, the reputation is insufficient, and it does not have a legitimate effect. ”

Zhou Ge was furious, glared at Zhong Xuan and said, "What is the lack of reputation? Not justifiable? If you don't say it, come as a matter of course, I think you want to find a beating. ”

Han Yi patted the case and said: "On the basis of facts, what is the reason for threatening colleagues indiscriminately." ”

Zhou Ge shrunk his neck and had to arch his hand to Zhong Xuan to apologize. Han Yi and Xi asked, "Yuan Chang, please say, what is the lack of reputation?" ”

Zhong Xuan bowed and said: "Since the general was born, he has served the Xianbei Huns externally, defeated Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu internally, and surrendered Tao Qian and Lu Bu. Dozens of wars, invincible, invincible, can be described as prestigious, the world knows everything, everything knows. ”

"If you talk about your own strength, the general has the lands of Sili, Yu, Yan, Xu, He, Jing, and Yang, and has no less than 13 million people under his rule, thousands of generals, and 700,000 soldiers and horses. There is one of the three parts of the world, and the trend of dominating the world is already obvious. However, this origin is ...... It's not convincing anymore. ”

Han Yi frowned, this is exactly what he has been thinking about for many years, if there is no justifiable reason, it is indeed difficult to obey the world. So he asked, "What is the best plan for Yuan Changke?" ”

Zhong Xuan bowed and said: "Although there is no wonderful strategy, there are wonderful things." This thing is the jade seal of the country, which is engraved by Li Si, the prime minister of the first Qin Dynasty, by the order of the first emperor, with the He's bi. Its square circle is four inches, on the New York hand over five dragons, the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of Li Si's book "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", in order to serve as the token of "imperial power granted by heaven, orthodox and legitimate". ”

"Since the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have taken this seal as a symbol, and they have been regarded as a treasure and an important weapon of the country. If it is gained, it symbolizes that it is 'ordered by heaven', and if it is lost, it shows that its qi is 'exhausted'. The reason why Dong Zhuo agreed to abolish the establishment, and the hundred officials did not oppose it, was that King Hongnong lost the jade seal of the country. ”

"In the past, the people of the world were disrespectful to the current Han Emperor, also because he had no heirloom jade seal in his hand. was ridiculed as the 'white version of the emperor', which seemed to lack confidence and was despised by the world. The jade seal of the country was obtained by Sun Jian, and after Sun Jian's death, it was robbed by Yuan Shu. If the general can take this seal from Yuan Shu's hands, it can prove that the general is 'ordered by heaven'. At that time, no matter what the emperor was, it could be justified. ”

The generals bowed and said: "My lord, take Jiangdong as soon as possible and seize this seal." ”

Le Peng, Ai Ke, and Bao Hong also bowed: "If Yuan Shu is destroyed, there is no need for a large army to be stationed along the river, but it can go west." This should be done quickly. ”

Han Yi nodded, Yuan Shu is not good at conquest, and there are no famous generals under his command, although there is a large army in hand, it is easy to break. Although Jiangdong is addicted, it has a population of no less than two million. Danyang is brave and can be a source of soldiers. Regardless of whether there is a jade seal or not, it is necessary to quickly destroy Yuan Shu.

After the resolution was issued, Han Yi said: "The order, Lepeng and Aike will prepare grain and grass, and after March, the autumn harvest will be completed, and 100,000 troops will be raised to conquer Jiangdong." ”

Lü Bu led Chen Gong, Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, and Qin Yilu to Xihe to take up the post of general of the expedition to the north. Xihe and Shangjun have 30,000 Southern Hun cavalry and 10,000 Han troops led by generals such as Lu Kuang, Ma Yan, and Ke Suo'er, although they are not as comfortable and prosperous as Xuzhou, but they are not bad.

Lu Bu returned to his hometown, and he felt inexplicable in his heart. After seven or eight years in the Central Plains, although he claimed to be invincible in martial arts, he was controlled everywhere, and it was difficult for everything to go smoothly. Maybe what Han Yi said is right, his own battlefield should be in the desert, and Huo Hussar is his own example. This matter of the Central Plains, there are people from the Central Plains to fight for.

After Lü Bu left Xuzhou, Gao Shun and Zhang Liaoer were left behind. Han Yi appointed Bao Hong as the pastor of Xuzhou, paid as the pastor of the state, and guarded one side. Some adjustments were made to the main battle soldiers and horses in the territory.

Yuzhou Central Front Army: 100,000 troops led by Che Jing, Zhou Ge, Deng Dang, Yin Li, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Gao, Lü Meng, Zhong Shen, Fang Ji, Gong Du, Liao Hua, He Yi, Xu Ding, Zhu Jian, Yang Ke, Wen Ji, Zheng Bao, Wang Zhong, and Zhang Fen were directly under Han Yi.

Sili Hanoi Front: Eight generals led by Wen Chou, Gao Shun, Tian Palm, Liu He, Gao Ya, Zhong Jin, Wu Xi, and Song Guo (Yang Ding's old general) led 40,000 troops to defend Yuan Shao, Hebei.

Yanzhou Dongjun Front Army: Gao Lan, Wang Dang, Li Feng, Xue Lan, Chen Dao, Zhang Sheng six generals led 30,000 troops to defend Yuan Shao, Hebei.

Qingzhou Taishan Front: led by Wang Yang, Tai Shici, Han Hao, He Man, Zhao Zhichang, Mi Fang six generals led 30,000 troops. The five generals of Langxie Taishan, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xian, took 20,000 people as their arms and captured Qingzhou Liu Bei.

Sili Jingzhao Front Army: 30,000 troops led by six generals Yu Hua, Huang Zhong, Lü Xiang, Lü Weihuang, Han Lüzi, and Zhang Kai, and 15,000 troops were simmered to guard against the generals of Xiliang and the rice thieves in Hanzhong.

Jingzhou Nanyang Front: Cheng Qi, Chu Hu, Li Tong, Lu Jun, Liu Pi, Xun Zheng six generals led 30,000 troops to defend Nanyang Zhang Xiu and Jingzhou Liu Biao.

Yangzhou Yuzhang Front: 40,000 troops led by eight generals, Qiu Rui, Yu Ban, Qiu Hui, Liu Ruo, Zhao Rong, Lu Zhao, Jiao Rong, and Zhang Nan, to guard against Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and Yuan Shu in Jiangdong. The task of the front army on this road is the heaviest, so Han Yicai wants to break Yuan Shu first to relieve the pressure.

A month later, Han Yi left Che Jing, Yin Li, Wang Zhong, and Zhang Fen to stay in Runan, and led Zhou Ge, Deng Dang, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Gao Gao, Lu Meng, Zhong Shen, Fang Ji, Gong Du, Liao Hua, He Yi, Xu Ding, Zhu Jian, Yang Ke, Wen Ji, Zheng Bao 16 generals, and 10,000 water troops of Jiao Rong and Zhang Nan of Lujiang, 5,000 water troops of Guangling Chen Deng, and 5,000 water troops of Liu Fu of Jiujiang, a total of 100,000 troops to conquer Jiangdong Yuan Shu.

The news spread, and the three counties of Jiangdong Danyang, Wu County, and Huiji were shocked three times a day. Yuan Shu heard that Han Yi's soldiers were coming, and he urgently gathered the generals to discuss. General Zhang Xun said: "You can garrison the troops in Jiangcheng, Niuzhu, Wuhu, Chungu, and Hulintun, and then send the navy to rescue on the river. ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed, urgently summoned soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and forced Jingzhuang to join the army, gathering 200,000 troops in October. Ordered Zhang Xun to be the Taishou of Danyang, leading 100,000 troops to deploy along the river, Liu Xun led 30,000 sailors to respond to the enemy, and Ji Ling led 30,000 troops to save the envoy to resist the Han Yi army. He led the rest of the army to sit in Wu County.

Han Yi led the army to Jiujiang, Jiao Rong and Zhang Nan followed, and bowed: "Jiangdong Yuan Shu ordered the general Zhang Xun to lead the troops to deploy along the river, and Liu Xun led the navy to patrol back and forth to prevent our army from crossing the river. Our army's navy and Liu Xun fought several battles, but they were not Liu Xun's opponents. I have come to report to the Lord. ”

Han Yi frowned and asked, "I ordered you and the others to train the navy in Weisu, Liyang and other places, how come it has been more than a year, and they still can't defeat the enemy?" ”

Jiao Rong and Zhang Nanbai said: "The training of the navy is different from the foot soldiers, and the foot soldiers are not bad for a year. However, the navy army does not have three or five years to practice, and even if it becomes an army, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy. ”

There are people from Dongcheng County in Xiapi State who have surrendered halfway, and Lu Suyu, the official in front of the tent, said: "Jingnan Sun Ce is in a hurry to attack Liu Biao, and the pressure in the direction of Yuzhang is not great, can you order Yuzhang Taishou to send troops to attack Yuan Shu from the west?" In order to solve the difficulty of our army crossing the river. ”

Han Yi thought about it, the army was already strong, if it couldn't cross the river, it would be useless for Yuan Shu's army. Yuan Shujun is now all deployed along the river, which may make Qiu Rui a strange soldier, or it may have a miraculous effect. At that moment, an envoy was sent to order Qiu Rui to raise troops. He also ordered Cao Bao to lead the Pi soldiers and Chen Deng to lead the Guangling soldiers to bluff in the Jiangdu area and cross the river in order to attract the attention of the Yuan army.

After receiving the letter, Qiu Rui did not dare to slack off, and urgently ordered the generals under his command to go to Nanchang to rendezvous, and summoned Luling to order Zhu Ning to come together. Qiu Rui said: "The lord ordered us to raise troops to attack Yuan Shu, which is a good time for the former Yanzhou Cao Department to completely enter the Han clan. Wen Ze, you must not miss it. ”

Yu Ban nodded silently, although Cao Cao was not dead, it was difficult to recover. Moreover, the former Yanzhou and Qingzhou soldiers were transferred to the Yuzhang area, which is thousands of miles away from Hebei. And because the generals surrendered because of the defeat, it is already looked down upon, and they can no longer break the connection with the old master, so as not to be ruined and ruined, and laugh for the ages.

Qiu Rui then patted the case and said: "Order, Yu Ban, Liu Ruo, Zhao Rong, and Lu Zhao four generals, leading 20,000 troops, invade Huiji from Shangrao." Luling ordered Zhu Ning to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to feint an attack on Danyang, and made a gesture to respond to the lord and cover the actions of the forbidden army. Qiu Hui led 10,000 soldiers and horses to feint to attack Changsha instead of defending. I sat in Nanchang and supplied grain and grass for the soldiers and horses of the three routes. ”

The generals responded awe-inspiringly, and the four generals immediately packed up their troops and horses and went to Shangrao overnight. Due to Sun Ce's rebellion, Wang Lang took refuge in Yuan Shu in advance, and his own reputation and talent were high, so he was retained by Yuan Shu.

Han Yi raised 100,000 troops to the south to conquer Jiangdong, and the momentum was huge. Wang Lang learned that he wanted to lead troops to rescue Yuan Shu. One of his men came out and shouted, "No." Han Yi uses the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, Yuan Shu is a tyrannical crowd, and it is advisable to write Yuan Shu, lead troops to stick to Huiji, and wait for Han Yi. ”

Wang Lang regarded it as a person from Yuyao, surnamed Yu, whose name was translated, and whose name was Zhongxiang, and who was now a county official. Wang Lang said angrily: "Han Yi slaughtered hundreds of officials, killed the clan, his ambition is obvious, and people and gods are angry. I am a Hanchen, and Yuan Gong is also a famous Han family, how can I turn my back on Han and join Han. Retire. ”

Yu Chuan let out a long sigh and withdrew with his hand. Wang Lang then led 20,000 soldiers to prepare to aid Yuan Shu in the north. Without waiting for Wang Lang to send troops, he suddenly heard that there were envoys from Dingyang and Taimo, and the Han army in Yuzhang suddenly attacked, and the two counties were not guarded, and the two cities had been captured by the Korean army. At this time, 20,000 Korean troops, under the leadership of Yu Ban, rushed towards Wusheng.

Wang Lang couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly led the army to turn around and fight in the ban. Unexpectedly, the Shanyin thieves Huang Longluo and Zhou Bo led thousands of troops, took advantage of the false attack to break through Zhuji County, and joined the Han army that attacked Wusheng, and welcomed the forbidden army into Zhuji. The black wound ordered the back road to be cut off, and he had to surrender to the ban.

Wang Lang had no choice but to retreat to the wilderness of Shanyin to set up a formation. The two formations were in a circle, and Yu Ban went out of the horse, saying that Wang Lang said: "I was ordered to raise the soldiers of benevolence and righteousness and come to Zhejiang, why did you help the tyrannical thieves of the Yuan family?" ”

Wang Lang also came out and scolded: "Han Yi's son-in-law is a cheap child, he has the land of the Central Plains, and he has forcibly annexed the boundary of Jiangdong. Lack of greed, be careful to die unexpectedly. Today, I have a special feud with the Yuan family! ”
